B 　　（2025·南京二十九中月考）They say that this time of year reminds us how good it is to let things go. The beauty of fallen leaves is a reminder that sometimes we’re supposed to drop those things we’ve been hanging onto. In my bones， I know this to be true. And yet I still stuck to decaying （腐烂） pieces well into winter. 　　This tendency to hold onto things that no longer serve me has been a constant in my life. I’ve stayed in jobs too long and stuffed my wardrobe full of clothes that no longer fit. Whenever I try to prise my hands off them， my brain plays a trick on me， running highlights of all the moments when these things were good. 　　I know this is something I need to deal with， so I Google， “Why do I find it so hard to let go？” It presents me with a range of answers that only give half-truths. But after hours of surfing， I think I might have found an answer. I can’t let go of these things because I see them as a core part of my identity. This is most obviously true when it comes to jobs. I’ve always been very attached to having a clear job title. When I left my last big journalism job， it took months of coaching to understand that I could still be a writer even if I no longer had a contract calling me one. I had to stop asking other people to give me that part of my identity and， instead， own it myself， by showing up at my laptop， doing the work， and putting it out there. 　　When my relationships end， I spend years mourning them， and it’s only recently that I had to admit that was in part because I’d internalized “rejected man” as part of my identity. I had given myself that title and had let myself be defined by it. So， now， I’m working on letting go， not of people and things， but of the parts of my identity that keep me small. I don’t want to spend my life with a “not-good-enough” sticker on my head， so I’m casting it off， trampling it under foot， and marching into a new season， a new me. 24.Why does the author include fallen leaves in paragraph 1？（　　） A.To highlight beauty of the time of year. B.To compare them to the things to drop. C.To indicate the expected arrival of winter. D.To remind us of how good past days were. 25.What does the underlined word “prise” in paragraph 2 mean？（　　） A.Force. B.Rest. C.Press. D.Tear. 26.What is the author’s fresh view on a clear job title？（　　） A.He uses it to find the core part of his identity. B.He is so used to it that he cannot risk losing it. C.It helps him become a writer and get a contract. D.It has nothing to do with his core part of identity. 27.How will the author probably improve to let things go？（　　） A.By seeking a newly-defined title. B.By sorting out people and things. C.By breaking off the title defining him. D.By stopping crying over past relationships. C 　　（2025·南京六校联合体调研）The global success of Chinese apps like TikTok， RedNote （Xiaohongshu）， and AI models like DeepSeek highlights a surprising trend： China is gaining cultural influence among young Americans， not just in technology but also in creating appealing online experiences. 　　China’s Internet actually is cool. Chinese products and services have an increasing originality， especially Chinese apps， which stand out for their creativity. TikTok， used by over half of Americans， offers engaging content that feels more dynamic than US platforms. Its mix of humor， creativity， and slight rebelliousness （叛逆） attracts teens seeking freedom from traditional norms. TikTok was briefly shut down earlier this month， and the site faces an uncertain legal future. Many young users turned to RedNote， a Chinese lifestyle app filled with odd content like fashion tips and cooking instructions. Though unfamiliar to older generations， its mix of Chinese culture and global youth trends creates a unique appeal. 　　As for the AI large-language models， DeepSeek， an AI model developed by a Chinese company， is a miracle， which combines technical skill with playful personality. Unlike rigid Western models， it writes creatively — even reimagining classic literature from an AI perspective. Its rise to the top of Apple’s app store shows how innovation and affordability can win over users. 　　The decline of Europe’s cultural appeal gives rise to the trend. In the past， American teens admired European sophistication （精明）， but today’s youth seek fresh alternatives. With its economic power and global reach， China naturally fills this gap. Additionally， young people often reject their parents’ preferences， and China’s tech-driven culture feels extremely new. 　　While US-China relationship dominates headlines， ordinary interactions tell a different story. On RedNote， American and Chinese users bond over shared interests like cooking or fashion. DeepSeek’s fair answers on American topics build trust. These connections prove cultural gaps aren’t unbridgeable. 　　Actually， China’s tech success isn’t just about hardware or data — it’s about creating products that resonate （共鸣） emotionally. For American youth seeking novelty， China’s Internet culture offers something refreshingly different. This cultural shift， paired with technological advances， positions China as a unique party in shaping global trends. 28.Why are young Americans drawn to TikTok？（　　） A.They show deeper interest in Chinese culture. B.They eagerly want to catch up with the fashion. C.They prefer instructions on fashion and cooking. D.They want to break away from traditional norms. 29.What can be inferred from the successful case of DeepSeek in America？（　　） A.Parents’ preferences potentially positively affect the youth. B.Europe’s steady cultural influence has changed users’ choice. C.Economic power has helped China stand higher in the world. D.Few users take price into consideration when considering apps. 30.What does the author convey in the last two paragraphs？（　　） A.Chinese apps has bridged cultural gaps. B.China not America shapes global trends. C.Chinese apps open a window for US youth. D.Users of DeepSeek share common interests. 31.What’s the best title for the passage？（　　） A.How Did China’s Internet Become So Cool？ B.China Is Shaping the Cultural Shift Globally C.Why Did RedNote Take the Place of TikTok？ D.The Facts Behind the Popularity of DeepSeek D 　　（2025·南京一中月考）The Greenland sharks are hard to find， which primarily live in the deep， cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans， and are the only sharks to stand the freezing temperatures year-round. Some individuals of the species might have been swimming there since colonial times — and researchers are just beginning to figure out how. 　　Research published in 2016 determined the sharks are the longest-living vertebrates （脊柱动物）， likely living to be around 400 years old， with the estimate ranging from 272 years old to over 500 years old. Now， a new study aims to understand the mechanism behind that longevity. 　　An international team of scientists has become the first to map the Greenland shark’s genome （基因组）， sequencing about 92％ of its DNA and providing insight into the inner workings of the long-lived fish. 　　The study found the shark’s genome to be extraordinarily large， twice as long as a human’s and bigger than any other shark genome sequenced to date. The researchers are analyzing the genome to explore what its large size may mean for the shark’s longevity. One reason for a longer genome might come down to the shark’s ability to repair its DNA， a feature that has commonly been seen in other species with exceptional lifespans. 　　The Greenland shark is unique in that a vast amount — more than 70％ — of its genome is made up of jumping genes. It seems that in the Greenland shark， the genes that repair DNA have been acting as jumping genes， duplicating （复制） themselves in the genome and slowing down the aging process by fixing damaged DNA. 　　The study authors released their findings as a preprint — a scientific paper that has not gone through the peer-review process — as they invite more scientists to study the genome and conduct their own analysis of the shark’s DNA. 　　“By studying the longevity mechanisms of the Greenland shark， scientists could also gain more insight into how to potentially extend the human lifespan，” the authors said. 32.What can we learn about Greenland sharks in paragraph 1？（　　） A.They are known for their large size. B.They can survive in extreme environments. C.They are often found in warm tropical waters. D.They have been studied extensively for decades. 33.What does the new study aim to explore about the Greenland Shark？（　　） A.How long they can actually live. B.How they interact with other species. C.What structures make them adaptable. D.What contributes to their long lifespan. 34.What role does the large size of the Greenland shark’s genome play？（　　） A.It increases their reproductive rate. B.It allows for faster swimming speed. C.It enhances their ability to repair DNA. D.It makes them resistant to most diseases. 35.What do we know about the study？（　　） A.It has invited serious criticism. B.It has gained wide recognition. C.It still needs further research. D.It solved the mystery of aging. 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。 　　（2025·湖南郴州联考）Genes， the basic units of heredity， play a crucial role in determining our physical characteristics and health conditions. 36.（　　） With the development of modern technology， genetic testing has become an important tool for understanding our biological makeup. 　　When you take a genetic test， scientists will analyze your DNA sample. 37.（　　） For example， some tests can tell if you carry genes that might increase your risk of certain diseases like breast cancer or heart conditions. This knowledge can help people take preventive measures early. 　　However， genetic testing also raises ethical questions. 38.（　　） Should employers have access to this information？ What if insurance companies use it to deny coverage？ What if hospitals prioritize treatments based on genetic risks？ These issues require careful consideration. 　　39.（　　） This needs countries to work together， set clear rules， and prevent unfair treatment. For example， the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health （GAGH） created the “Framework for Responsible Sharing of Genomic and Health-related Data”. It unifies privacy rules in over 40 countries， letting scientists study rare diseases using anonymous genetic data. At the same time， it requires strict compliance （遵守） of laws and stops any harmful use of personal information. These actions show how global teamwork can protect people’s privacy while helping medical science move forward. 　　Though not perfect， genetic testing offers valuable insights. By understanding our genetic risks， we can make better lifestyle choices and work with doctors to create personalized health plans. For example， individuals with a genetic tendency for heart disease might increase cardiovascular exercises and reduce saturated fat intake. 40.（　　） A.Ultimately， this knowledge enables proactive health management tailored to individual needs. B.They contain codes for proteins that directly affect bodily functions and health. C.To address these risks， legal frameworks must balance privacy protection with research needs. D.Laboratory technicians compare DNA samples to identify unique genetic markers. E.These analyses can detect gene variations linked to inherited （遗传） diseases. F.The ownership and use of genetic information remain highly controversial （有争议的）. G.Effective data protection methods are essential for securing genetic databases. 第三部分　语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 　　阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 　　（2025·江苏盐城五校联盟月考）How do young people learn best？ This is something I think about a lot when teaching foreign 　41　 to young people.

Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own. My father had drowned in Pitt Lake five years earlier. Because Dad had no pension or benefits， there was not much money； we went on social assistance. 　　Looking back， I realize what Mum went through a sending us kids to school. Every morning she would tuck a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles （鞋底） were worn out. When we got home， Mum would have French toast ready for us. This was bread deep-fried in lard （猪油）. Constant moving was typical for my family in those days， and it didn’t look like we’d be in our current house much longer. Rent was $25 a month， but Mum couldn’t pay it， and we knew we would be forced out after Christmas. 　　The holidays were fast approaching， and we were entitled to $25 for Christmas from social services. An inspector came to our house and search edit thoroughly to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any， he issued the cheque to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food， she was going to use the money to pay our rent. That way we’d have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us there would be no Christmas gifts. 　　Unknown to Mum， I had been selling Christmas trees， shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots — boots with no cardboard in the soles. They were ten-inch， Top-Genuine， and cost $23. 　　The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very excited as I hurried up the road to catch the bus into town. But on the way to the bus stop I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized that we had no lights， no decorations and no Christmas goodies. I also knew we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner. But at least there would be French toast. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式作答。 　　As I continued walking， I began to feel confused.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 The bus drove off without me， and I stood alone in a daze， feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 11 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 单元质量检测（四）　Never too old to learn 第一部分 1－5　ABBAC　　　6－10　BBBAC 11－15　BCCAB 16－20　CBCBA 听力材料： （Text 1） W：Dad， I think we’ve got everything in the car.

But those people probably would not be rock climbers.About nine million people go rock climbing in the United States.Millions more take part in the activity around the world.Rock climbing can be dangerous.But there are a lot of methods and equipment that can increase a climber’s safety.Climbing takes strength， control， and good balance.Climbers have to pull themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls.So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight.And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks by only their fingers or toes.There are several kinds of rock climbing.Traditional rock climbing is done outside.Climbers wear ropes and attach equipment to the rocks.They also connect their ropes to the equipment.If a climber slips， a rope can stop him from falling.Sport climbing is similar.However， in that sport， the safety equipment is permanently placed in the rock.There is also indoor climbing.Rock walls made of wood or concrete have places for the climber’s hands and feet.Climbers use their legs to climb； arms and hands are for position and balance.People almost always climb in groups of two or more.Climbing alone is very dangerous.Expert rock climbers say only the very best in the sport should do it. 第二部分 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章是一篇CCA的大学预科项目的宣传广告。 21.B　细节理解题。根据In-Person部分内容可知，加州艺术学院旧金山分校位于一个高度发达的地区。

student who is very interested in our English website. I’m writing to offer a suggestion on enriching it. 　　In my opinion， establishing a travel column would be a good choice. Here are some reasons. First of all， travelling is one of the most popular ways to relax， so introducing a travel column can attract students’ interest. Secondly， given that students are busy with their studies， it is difficult for them to have a chance to visit famous scenic spots. Our website can help them make it. Lastly， appreciating the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland can increase our sense of national pride. 　　I trust that you will consider my suggestion favorably. Yours， Li Hua 第二节 　　As I continued walking， I began to feel confused. How was I supposed to be happy if everyone else in the family was not？ Thinking of this， the idea of buying the beautiful boots I had wanted for so long didn’t seem as appealing as before. As I reached the bus stop， the driver opened the door， waiting for me to get on. I stood there for what seemed like a century， until finally the driver asked， “Son， are you getting on this bus or not？” I finally burst out without hesitation， “No， thanks.” 　　The bus drove off without me， and I stood alone in a daze， feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I knew what I had to do next. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went to buy a turkey， ham， oranges and all the Christmas decorations. I spent every coin of my hard-earned money. Once I got home， I knocked on the door. I could not wait to see my mother’s face！ When Mum opened the door， and saw me returning with a full load， she just stood there， too stunned to speak. Holding back the tears， I exclaimed excitedly， “Merry Christmas， Mother！” 11 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
