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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述1990年空难中受伤的小女孩安德烈娅得到医生福纳里的暖心陪伴与鼓励，多年后受其影响成为医生，2024年重逢让医生明白善意可改变一生。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In a temporary emergency room, he met Andrea, pale but alert. “Am I going to die?” she whispered. (在临时急诊室里，他见到了安德烈娅，脸色苍白但很警觉。“我会死吗？”她轻声问道。)”可知，安德烈娅虽然受伤，但依然冷静清醒。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Nine years later, now seventeen, Andrea wrote to tell him she wanted to become a child psychiatrist — inspired by his kindness.(九年后，17岁的安德烈娅写信告诉他，她想成为一名儿童精神病医生 —— 受他的善良所鼓舞。)”可知，她想把这份善意传递下去，帮助更多孩子。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Dr. Fornari noticed her isolation and, moved by something beyond professional responsibility, decided to step in.(福纳里医生注意到了她的孤独，出于一种超越职业责任的触动，他决定伸出援手。)”、第四段“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.(他一天去看她三次，有时只是静静地坐在她床边，她则望着窗外灰蒙蒙的冬日天空。他给她带去一些小小的慰藉 —— 书本、蜡笔、毛绒玩具，并鼓励她在愿意的时候，聊聊她的妈妈和弟弟。)”可知，福纳里医生非常有同理心、关心他人。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“He realized that one act of genuine care could echo across decades, shaping a life in ways he never imagined.(他意识到，一次真诚的关怀可以延续数十年，以他从未想象过的方式塑造一个人的一生。)”可知，文章讲述空难中受伤的小女孩安德烈娅得到医生福纳里的暖心陪伴与鼓励，多年后受其影响成为医生。所以文章旨在说明一个善举可以改变人的一生。故选C项。 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 (合成) biology, and a team from MIT has just taken a groundbreaking step. They have successfully engineered common baker’s yeast (酵母) cells to perform basic computational operations, effectively turning them into tiny, self-reproducing biological computers. Traditional computers process information using a binary (二进制) 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 the yeast 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 (诊断). 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了合成生物学领域的一项突破性进展：麻省理工学院（MIT）的一个团队成功将普通面包酵母细胞改造成能执行基本计算操作的微型生物计算机。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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”.(当酵母细胞检测到这些化学线索时，便会触发一系列内部基因表达，最终产生一个可见的“输出”——例如，细胞在显微镜下发出绿光，表示“是”的答案；若不发光，则表示“否”)”可知，生物计算机通过发出可观察到的信号来表明其输出结果。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“First, these biological computers are incredibly energy-efficient, running on the same sugar nutrients the yeast uses to grow.( 首先，这些生物计算机能耗极低，其运行所需的能量与酵母生长所依赖的糖类营养物质相同)”可知，为生物计算机提供动力的是能为酵母生长提供能量的糖类营养物质。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“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.(当然，目前仍存在重大挑战。细胞的“计算”速度目前远低于电子计算机，而且设计可靠、复杂的基因回路极其困难)”可知，可能会对生物计算机的发展构成挑战的是改进基因工程设计。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“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 (合成) biology, and a team from MIT has just taken a groundbreaking step. They have successfully engineered common baker’s yeast (酵母) cells to perform basic computational operations, effectively turning them into tiny, self-reproducing biological computers.(想象这样一个未来：最强大的计算机并非由硅芯片制成，而是由活细胞培育而成。这便是合成生物学的宏大目标，麻省理工学院（MIT）的一个团队刚刚迈出了具有开创性的一步。他们成功对常见的面包酵母细胞进行了工程改造，使其能够执行基本的计算操作，从而将这些细胞变成了微小且能自我繁殖的生物计算机)”可知，本文主要讲的是合成生物学领域的一项突破性进展：麻省理工学院（MIT）的一个团队成功将普通面包酵母细胞改造成能执行基本计算操作的微型生物计算机，因此最好的标题是D选项“Compute Differently: Engineering Cells to Process Information(不同计算方式：对细胞进行工程改造以处理信息)”。故选D。 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. 12. 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. 13. What does the underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? A Lasting. B. Negative. C. Surprising. D. Significant. 14. 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. 15. 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. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章指出宠物成为“毛孩子”的现象及成因，说明其对宠物健康的不良影响，呼吁主人和兽医优先关注宠物真实需求。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(这方面的证据确凿无疑，且远不止于为生日、节日等场合准备的衣物。如今，现代“毛孩子”不仅能拥有婴儿车、首饰、纸尿裤、指甲油、生日蛋糕和鞋子，还能享受“黄金标准”的兽医诊疗服务)”可知，为用特别的礼物庆祝宠物的生日最能体现“毛孩子”现象。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“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. (以宠物推车为例：虽然对残疾动物可能有用，但在其他狗狗身上过度使用会导致肌肉萎缩、关节损伤和肥胖)”可知，这些都是负面、有害的健康影响，因此adverse意为“消极的、不利的”，与negative同义。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Oddly, attitudes among veterinarians vary widely — some criticize the trend while others support it and even profit from it.(奇怪的是，兽医们的态度差异很大——一些人批评这一趋势，而另一些人支持它，甚至从中获利)”可知，部分兽医支持是因为能从溺爱宠物的热潮中获利。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Owners’ love for their pets is understandable, but must be balanced by prioritizing the animals’ interests.(主人对宠物的爱是可以理解的，但必须优先考虑动物的自身需求来平衡这种爱)”可推知，作者认为人们对宠物的爱应建立在动物真实需求的基础上。故选C项。 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. ____16____ 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. ____17____ 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 aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it. ____18____ 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?” ____19____ If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect. ____20____ 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. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是“禀赋效应”的表现，产生的原因和应对的方法。 【16题详解】 前文“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.(几天前，我试着清理一些旧课本。内心深处，我知道自己再也不会读它们了。然而，我还是觉得也许它们某天会有用)”提到作者想清理旧校书，知道不会再读但又觉得也许某天会有用，后文“I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”.(我可能并非只有自己有这种纠结：这种挣扎是一种被称为“禀赋效应”的现象)”说明这种矛盾心理是普遍存在的。A选项“It just feels right to keep them.(留着它们感觉就是对的)”很好地体现了这种矛盾心理，即虽然知道可能不会再读，但留着又觉得合理，符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 前文“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.(证明这种效应存在的心理学家发现，人们对自己拥有的一瓶酒的售价比他们愿意为购买同一瓶酒所出的价格要高得多)”举例说明人们对自己拥有的物品要价高，对购买相同物品出价低。G选项“The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them.(这种不一致表明，我们仅仅因为拥有某物就对其估值过高)”是对前文现象的总结，符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 前文“At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it.(起初，研究人员认为这是“损失厌恶”的典型案例，即失去某物的痛苦感觉是获得同等事物所带来的愉悦感的两倍)”说研究人员最初认为这是“损失厌恶”的典型案例，后文“Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours.(心理学家得出结论：我们仅仅因为某样东西属于自己就会更看重它)”说心理学家得出结论是因为物品是自己的所以更看重它。F选项“That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself.(这听起来合理，但真正的原因是所有权本身)”起到了转折作用，引出了真正的原因，符合上下文逻辑，故选F。 【19题详解】 前文“When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?”(当你犹豫是否要扔掉某样东西时，问问自己：“我现在愿意花多少钱从别人那里买下这个东西？”)”说当犹豫是否扔掉东西时，问自己现在愿意花多少钱从别人那里买这个东西。B选项“More often than not, the answer is “nothing”.(通常情况下，答案是“没什么（指不愿花钱再买回自己拥有的东西）”)”承接上文，说明很多时候对购买自己拥有的东西出价很低，与后文“If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect.(如果是这样，那就清楚地表明，你重视这件物品不是因为它的实用性，而仅仅是因为禀赋效应)”对购买自己拥有的东西出价很低的原因是禀赋效应相呼应，故选B。 【20题详解】 后文“Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well.(除了把我们的家变成过去的储物间，它还让我们在精神上也受困于过去)”说除了把我们的家变成过去的储物间，它还让我们在精神上也受困于过去，说明禀赋效应有不好的影响。D选项“The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think.(拥有物品的成本往往比我们想象的要高得多)”概括了后文内容，说明禀赋效应带来的危害，故选D。 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 (块) of clay on the wheel. It was her tenth ____21____ this week, and still, the form refused to rise as she envisioned. Her hands, covered in ____22____ clay, trembled with exhaustion and frustration. A voice inside urged her to ____23____. Her grandfather, a retired potter, had once told her, “The clay tests your ____24____, not your soul. Every crack (裂缝) is a lesson, not a judgment,” Now, it felt like a ____25____. She took a deep breath, ____26____ the lump, and started again. This time, she focused not on the perfect vase in her mind, but on the ____27____ feedback of the clay beneath her fingers — its resistance, its moisture, its pace. Days turned into weeks. The pile of failed lumps in the corner ____28____. One afternoon, when she lifted the ____29____ vase — with slight imperfections that gave it character — she felt no urge to compare it to an ideal. It was simply ____30____. She placed it on her shelf, not as a proof of achievement, but as a(n) ____31____ of the journey itself. Months later, a visitor to her studio was ____32____ to that same vase. The real attraction wasn’t in the vase’s form, but in its making — in the silent ____33____ between doubt and persistence. The sale was unexpected, but the true reward was ____34____. She had learned that mastery is a conversation, not a conquest. The most beautiful creations, she realized, are often born from the ____35____ to simply begin again. 21. A. performance B. attempt C. play D. action 22.

He worked very hard and got the best grades. Because of this, he thought school was only about competition, He spent all his time alone, studying in the library or at home. He didn’t join any clubs or sports teams. To Daniel, his classmates were not friends, but rivals. 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When standing in front of the class, Daniel did something no one expected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以学习为线索展开，讲述一心只重竞争的尖子生Daniel，在和用独特方式学数学的Alex搭档完成项目时，逐渐意识到Alex的努力与独特思维，开始反思并考虑向对方学习。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“展示的前一天，亚历克斯打电话给丹尼尔，声音里满是担忧。”可知，本段可描写Daniel不再烦躁，转而安慰Alex，两人决定结合Alex的创意画和Daniel的知识完善展示内容，最终充满信心。 ②由第二段首句内容“站在全班同学面前时，丹尼尔做了一件没人预料到的事。”可知，本段可描写Daniel先让Alex展示创意画，再补充数学原理，两人的展示大获成功，Daniel也领悟到学习不止是竞争，更是互相学习。 2. 续写线索：Alex担忧求助——Daniel提议结合创意——二人合力准备展示——Daniel让Alex先展示——展示获好评——Daniel领悟道理 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①安慰：comfort/console/soothe ②详细说明：elaborate/detail ③赢得：earn/gain/obtain 情绪类 ①担忧的：anxious/concerned/worried ②惊讶的：amazed/surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] Instead of feeling annoyed, Daniel comforted him gently and suggested they build their presentation on Alex’s vivid drawings.（运用了省略连词that的宾语从句和虚拟语气） [高分句型2] 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.（运用了“not only...but also...”结构和倒装） [高分句型3] Never had Daniel understood so clearly that true excellence lies not in outperforming others, but in learning from differences and growing with others.（运用了倒装结构和连词that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三 英语 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上;写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共20题;每题1.5分，满分30分) 第一节 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。 1.

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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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 (合成) biology, and a team from MIT has just taken a groundbreaking step. They have successfully engineered common baker’s yeast (酵母) cells to perform basic computational operations, effectively turning them into tiny, self-reproducing biological computers. Traditional computers process information using a binary (二进制) 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 the yeast 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 (诊断). 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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. 12. 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. 13. What does the underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Lasting. B. Negative. C. Surprising. D. Significant. 14. 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. 15. 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. ____16____ 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. ____17____ 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 aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it. ____18____ 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?” ____19____ If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect. ____20____ 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 (块) of clay on the wheel.

He worked very hard and got the best grades. Because of this, he thought school was only about competition, He spent all his time alone, studying in the library or at home. He didn’t join any clubs or sports teams. To Daniel, his classmates were not friends, but rivals. 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When standing in front of the class, Daniel did something no one expected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
