Mom had baked some delicious cookies. Jam tarts were always my favorite and I had enjoyed myself to my heart’s content. Moreover, the refrigerator was well-stocked with chocolates and ice-cream so I helped myself to all the goodies. That night I woke up with an unbearable toothache. No amount of aspirin could stop the pain. When morning arrived, I had to do the unavoidable — make an appointment with the dentist. My dental appointment was at 2 pm that afternoon, which was just another four hours away. The thought was enough to kill my interest in everything else. I had butterflies in my stomach. I arrived at the dental clinic an hour before the appointment. After registering, I walked unenthusiastically towards a chair. I did not even bother to look at the other patients. Picking up a few journals, I tried to read to get rid of my fear and pain, but I could not concentrate. All I was aware of was a terrible pain. The sight of patients coming out from the treatment room, with large pieces of gauze (纱布) sticking out from their mouths, only seemed to worsen my pain. When my name was finally called, I staggered into the treatment room. I heard the dentist greeting me, but I could not bring myself to respond to his greeting. The sight of the drilling equipment and the hypodermic syringes (皮下注射器) only increased my feelings of sickness. When the dentist asked me to take my seat and then open my mouth, I felt my heart beating very fast. I was sure that I was going to get a heart attack. The dentist informed me that it was best to extract the tooth. I nodded and opened my mouth and tried to think of other things. The next minute or so was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I grabbed the dentist’s hands more than once. At first, he was quite taken aback and eyed me sharply. Then he warned me that he would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics. I did not think that he was joking! Soon the pain gave way to a soothing sensation. When the dentist told me that the pain was all over and the bad tooth was pulled out, I could hardly believe my ears. After paying for the extraction, I walked out of the clinic with a sigh of relief, vowing never again to let my sweet tooth get the better of me. From that day on, I learned to enjoy treats in moderation and in proper amounts — a painful but valuable lesson well learned. 29. The author wasn’t feeling well that night because of ________. A. unlimited eating of goodies B. an upset stomach C. too much fun during the day D. overuse of aspirin 30. What did the author do to distract himself from the toothache before he met the dentist? A. Arriving at the clinic earlier B. Attempting to read magazines C. Observing other patients D. Giving no response to the dentist 31. What does the underlined word “antics” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. active behavior B. painful behavior C. funny behavior D. dangerous behavior 32. What lesson might the author have learned from this experience? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. After a storm always comes a calm. C. Too much good is good for nothing. D. Fear is often greater than the danger. 【答案】29. A 30. B 31. D 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因节日期间贪吃甜食引发剧烈牙痛，拔牙过程十分恐惧，最终懂得适度饮食的道理。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Jam tarts were always my favorite and I had enjoyed myself to my heart’s content. Moreover, the refrigerator was well-stocked with chocolates and ice-cream so I helped myself to all the goodies. That night I woke up with an unbearable toothache.(果酱馅饼一直是我的最爱，我尽情地吃了个够。而且冰箱里摆满了巧克力和冰淇淋，我随意吃了所有好吃的东西。那天晚上我疼得睡不着觉，牙痛难忍)”可知，作者当晚不舒服是因为无节制地吃了各种甜食。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Picking up a few journals, I tried to read to get rid of my fear and pain, but I could not concentrate.(我拿起几本杂志，试图阅读来摆脱恐惧和疼痛，但无法集中注意力)”可知，作者在见到牙医前试图看杂志来分散牙痛的注意力。故选B项。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“I grabbed the dentist’s hands more than once. At first, he was quite taken aback and eyed me sharply. Then he warned me that he would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics.(我不止一次抓住牙医的手。起初他很吃惊，严厉地看着我。然后他警告说，如果我再做出这种antics，他就把我的手绑起来)”可知，作者抓住牙医手的行为是失控、危险的举动，因此antics意为“危险行为”。故选D项。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“From that day on, I learned to enjoy treats in moderation and in proper amounts — a painful but valuable lesson well learned.(从那天起，我学会了适度、适量地享用甜食——这是一个痛苦但宝贵的教训)”可知，作者明白了过量享用好物反而有害，对应“过犹不及”的道理。故选C项。 C Scientists have created by accident an enzyme (酶) that breaks down plastic drinks bottles. The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic-pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles. The new research was inspired by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved (进化) to eat plastic at a waste dump in Japan. Scientists have now revealed the detailed structure of the important enzyme produced by the bug. An international team then adjusted the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had accidentally made the molecule (分子) even better at breaking down the plastic used for drinks bottles, outperforming the natural bacteria. “What actually turned out was we improved the enzyme, which was a bit of a shock,” said head researcher Prof. Mc Geehan, at the University of Portsmouth, UK. At present, the enzyme takes a few days to start breaking down the plastic, far faster than the centuries it takes in the oceans, but the researchers are optimistic this can be speeded up even further and become a practical large-scale process. “What we are hoping to do is use this enzyme to turn this plastic back into its original components, so we can literally recycle it back to plastic,” said McGeehan. “It means we won’t need to dig up any more oil and, fundamentally, it should reduce the amount of plastic in the environment.” About 1 million plastic bottles are sold each minute around the globe and, with just 14% recycled, many end up in the oceans where they have polluted even the remote parts, harming ocean life and potentially people who eat seafood. “Plastic is incredibly resistant to degradation,” said McGeehan. “It is one of these wonder materials that has been made a little bit too well.” Currently those bottles that are recycled can only be turned into fibres (纤维) for clothing or carpets, while the new enzyme indicates a way to recycle old clear plastic bottles back into new clear plastic bottles. “You are always up against the fact oil is cheap, so plastic is cheap,” said McGeehan. “It is so easy for manufacturers to generate more of that stuff, rather than even try to recycle, but I believe there is a public interest here: attitude is changing so much that companies are starting to look at how they can properly recycle these bottles.” Prof. Adisa Azapagic, at the University of Manchester in the UK, agreed the enzyme could be useful but added: “A full life-cycle study would be needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem — waste — at the expense of others, including additional greenhouse gas emissions.” 33. What does the passage say about the bug that produces the important enzyme? A. It has a natural ability to break down plastics. B. It is important to the recycling of plastic bottles. C. It has a chemical structure unknown to scientists. D. It is a bacterium that increases quickly in number. 34. What can we learn about the enzyme scientists have created? A. It was a breakthrough made with persistent efforts. B. It was discovered during a lab experiment accident. C. It will lead to a dramatic reform in plastic industry. D. It may make full recycling of plastic bottles a reality. 35. What is Prof. Adisa Azapagic’s attitude towards the application of the enzyme? A. Favorable B. Doubtful C. Cautious D. Unconcerned 【答案】33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家意外创造了一种能分解塑料饮料瓶的酶，这一突破有望首次实现瓶子的完全回收，从而帮助解决全球塑料污染危机。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The new research was inspired by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved (进化) to eat plastic at a waste dump in Japan.(这项新研究是受2016年一项发现的启发——当时，研究人员在日本的一个垃圾填埋场发现了首例自然进化出能以塑料为食的细菌。)”可知，产生重要酶的细菌具有自然分解塑料的能力。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic-pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.(这一突破有望通过首次实现塑料瓶的完全回收利用，助力解决全球塑料污染危机。)”可知，科学家创造的酶可能使塑料瓶的完全回收成为现实。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A full life-cycle study would be needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem — waste — at the expense of others, including additional greenhouse gas emissions.(需要开展一项完整的生命周期研究，以确保该技术不会在解决一个环境问题（即废弃物问题）的同时，以牺牲其他方面（包括增加温室气体排放）为代价。)”可知，Adisa Azapagic教授认为需要进行全面的生命周期评估，以确保该技术不会以牺牲其他环境问题为代价来解决一个环境问题，所以Adisa Azapagic教授对酶的应用持谨慎的态度。故选C。 D This week’s Nobel Physics Prize honored two scientists who helped computers “learn” more like the human brain. A day later, the Chemistry Prize went to three researchers who used AI to design proteins and reveal molecular (分子的) structures, a problem that had troubled biologists for decades. Here come the complaints. This was computer science, not physics or chemistry! Of the five winners, arguably only one, biochemist David Baker, works in the field he was awarded in. The Nobel Prizes have traditionally favored concrete results over theory, experimental discovery over pure idea. But that pattern didn’t quite hold this year: one prize went to scientists who were dedicated to physics as a foundation on which to build computer models used for no groundbreaking result in particular. The winners on Wednesday, on the other hand, had created computer models that made big advancements in biochemistry. This shift hints at an unsettling prospect: Perhaps scientists will merely craft the tools that make the breakthroughs, rather than do the revolutionary work themselves or even understand how it came about. Artificial intelligence designs and builds hundreds of molecular Notre Dames (巴黎圣母院) and a researcher is honored for inventing the tool “shovel”. But hey, give people some credit. Science has always involved tools and instruments, and our relationship to them has grown more complex with their advancement. Few astronomers today put an eye to a telescope; sensors and AI models collect eye-popping volumes of data; computer programs analyze them for patterns familiar and strange; researchers examine them, sometimes from halfway across the world. The heavens are pixels (像素) on a monitor. Who, then, owns the discovery? Where does the machinery end and the human begin? If anything, highlighting AI’s role in science, the Nobel Committee also revealed its own untimely approach. Alfred Nobel’s 1895 vision rewarded the individual genius planting flags in Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine. But today’s challenges, such as climate change, cancer, extinction, don’t respect those boundaries. Rare is the pure chemist or biologist; common is the geochemist, the computational evolutionary theorist. AI is making these divisions less distinct, linking vast datasets across disciplines and boosting unexpected cooperation. “Among” is the key word. Science is ever more a team effort, a beautiful, essential reality that the Nobels, with their strict rules and categories, struggle to celebrate.

This was computer science, not physics or chemistry!(抱怨来了。这是计算机科学，不是物理或化学！)” 可知，今年诺贝尔物理学奖和化学奖与计算机科学相关，这引发了人们的抱怨。故选 B。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Artificial intelligence designs and builds hundreds of molecular Notre Dames (巴黎圣母院) and a researcher is honored for inventing the tool “shovel”(人工智能设计和建造了数百个分子巴黎圣母院，一位研究人员因发明工具“铲子”而获得荣誉)”第四段 “Science has always involved tools and instruments, and our relationship to them has grown more complex with their advancement. Few astronomers today put an eye to a telescope; sensors and AI models collect eye-popping volumes of data; computer programs analyze them for patterns familiar and strange; researchers examine them, sometimes from halfway across the world. The heavens are pixels (像素) on a monitor. Who, then, owns the discovery? Where does the machinery end and the human begin?(科学总是与工具和仪器有关，随着它们的进步，我们与它们的关系也变得更加复杂。今天很少有天文学家用望远镜观察；传感器和人工智能模型收集了大量令人瞠目结舌的数据；计算机程序对它们进行分析，找出熟悉和陌生的模式；研究人员有时会从半个地球的另一端对它们进行检查。天空是显示器上的像素。那么，谁拥有这项发现呢？机器在哪里结束，人类在哪里开始？)” 可推知，作者提到 “巴黎圣母院” 和 “望远镜” 是为了表明人工智掩盖了AI在发现中的角色。故选 A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 “Alfred Nobel’s 1895 vision rewarded the individual genius planting flags in Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine. But today’s challenges, such as climate change, cancer, extinction, don’t respect those boundaries(阿尔弗雷德・诺贝尔 1895 年的愿景是奖励在物理、化学和医学领域树立旗帜的个人天才。但如今的挑战，如气候变化、癌症、物种灭绝等，并不受这些界限的限制)”以及最后一段“Science is ever more a team effort, a beautiful, essential reality that the Nobels, with their strict rules and categories, struggle to celebrate(科学越来越是一种团队努力，这是一个美好而重要的现实，而诺贝尔奖以其严格的规则和类别，很难对此进行赞扬)” 可知，最后两段强调个人天才与现代科学相悖。故选 B。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“This week’s Nobel Physics Prize honored two scientists who helped computers “learn” more like the human brain. A day later, the Chemistry Prize went to three researchers who used AI to design proteins and reveal  molecular (分子的) structures, a problem that had troubled biologists for decades.(本周的诺贝尔物理学奖授予了两位帮助计算机像人类大脑一样“学习”的科学家。一天后，化学奖颁给了三位利用人工智能设计蛋白质和揭示分子结构的研究人员，这是一个困扰生物学家几十年的问题)”和最后一段“Science is ever more a team effort, a beautiful, essential reality that the Nobels, with their strict rules and categories, struggle to celebrate(科学越来越是一种团队努力，这是一个美好而重要的现实，而诺贝尔奖以其严格的规则和类别，很难对此进行赞扬)”可知，文章主要讲述了今年诺贝尔物理学奖和化学奖与计算机科学相关，引发了人们的抱怨，进而探讨了人工智能在科学研究中的作用以及诺贝尔奖在当今科学发展下所面临的问题，强调了科学研究中人工智能和团队合作的重要性。D选项“诺贝尔奖凸显了人工智能和科学中的团队合作”为短文的最佳标题，故选 D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 From an airplane, cars moving slowly down highways look like ants. But unlike cars, ants somehow avoid the trouble of stop-and-go traffic. ____40____. Traffic flow becomes unstable as the number of vehicles increases. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, a single driver tapping the brakes can cause a lasting wave of traffic jams that spreads backward for miles. Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist at the University of Tokyo, calls this “a phase transition”. It is like water freezing into ice, where a small change causes a dramatic shift in state. Nishinari’s earlier research revealed that ants searching for food keep smooth flow even when there are very large numbers of them. Their secret? Recent studies tracking desert ants show they travel in well-organized groups of 3-20 individuals, moving at nearly constant speeds with consistent spacing between one another — about three body lengths apart. Crucially, they never speed up to overtake slower-moving peers. ____41____. Human drivers, by contrast, at rush hour are unlikely to follow such rules. “We maximize individual interests when driving, leading to bad jams,” notes Nicola Pugno, an engineer studying the behavior of groups. ____42____ In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share real-time data with nearby vehicles to maintain steady speeds and distances, or avoid overtaking altogether. This vehicle network would be analogous (类似的) to ants on a trail, which use chemical smells to organize their movements to coordinate behavior while interacting with one another. ____43____ They can widen their trails when needed, while drivers are confined to fixed highway lanes. Moreover, ants never crash; they simply crawl over one another when paths cross. Today’s drivers can still learn from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam, Nishinari says: “don’t tailgate (尾随).” By leaving room between their car and the one ahead, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic. ____44____ “Just keeping away,” he says, can help traffic flow smoothly. A. However, ants have advantages cars can’t match. B. They used traffic-engineering models to analyze how the ants moved. C. Without this space, the wave would grow into a full “fake” traffic jam. D. This is surprising since there is no leader to coordinate when a jam occur. E. By doing this, they prevent the “sudden slowdowns” that jam human traffic. F. Researchers are now studying the mystery to improve self-driving vehicle technology. G. Self-driving cars, however, could be programmed to cooperate if they one day become widespread. 【答案】40. F 41. E 42. G 43. A 44. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是蚂蚁与人类交通在应对拥堵方面的差异，并提出了借鉴蚂蚁交通模式改善人类交通的设想。 【40题详解】 空前“From an airplane, cars moving slowly down highways look like ants. But unlike cars, ants somehow avoid the trouble of stop-and-go traffic.(从飞机上俯瞰，在高速公路上缓缓行驶的汽车看上去就像蚂蚁。但与汽车不同，蚂蚁不知为何能避开走走停停的交通拥堵状况。)”说明了蚂蚁不知为何能避开走走停停的交通拥堵状况，F选项“Researchers are now studying the mystery to improve self-driving vehicle technology.(研究人员目前正在研究这一谜团，以改进自动驾驶汽车技术。)”说明研究人员正在研究空前提到的蚂蚁能避开走走停停的交通拥堵状况的这个谜团，承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 【41题详解】 空前“Crucially, they never speed up to overtake slower-moving peers.(至关重要的是，它们从不加速超越速度较慢的同伴。)”说明了蚂蚁从不加速超越速度较慢的同伴，E选项“By doing this, they prevent the “sudden slowdowns” that jam human traffic.(通过这样做，它们防止了造成人类交通堵塞的“突然减速”。)”说明了蚂蚁不超越速度较慢的同伴的好处是防止造成人类交通堵塞的“突然减速”，承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 【42题详解】 前文“Human drivers, by contrast, at rush hour are unlikely to follow such rules.(相比之下，人类司机在高峰时段不太可能遵守这样的规则。)”指出人类司机的问题，后文“In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share real-time data with nearby vehicles to maintain steady speeds and distances, or avoid overtaking altogether.(在一种对未来的设想中，自动驾驶汽车将与附近的车辆共享实时数据，以保持稳定的速度和间距，或者干脆完全避免超车。)”提到自动驾驶汽车的设想，空格处应起到过渡作用，引出自动驾驶汽车。G选项“Self-driving cars, however, could be programmed to cooperate if they one day become widespread.(然而，如果自动驾驶汽车有一天普及开来，它们是可以被编程为相互合作的。)”符合语境，将人类司机与自动驾驶汽车进行对比，并引出后文对自动驾驶汽车的描述。故选G。 【43题详解】 空后“They can widen their trails when needed, while drivers are confined to fixed highway lanes. Moreover, ants never crash; they simply crawl over one another when paths cross.(它们能在需要时拓宽自己的路径，而司机则只能被限制在固定的高速公路车道上。此外，蚂蚁从不会相撞；当路径交叉时，它们只是互相爬过。)”说明的是蚂蚁的优势，A选项“However, ants have advantages cars can’t match.(然而，蚂蚁拥有汽车无法比拟的优势。)”说明了蚂蚁拥有优势，引出后文具体的优势，因此符合语境，故选A。 【44题详解】 空前“By leaving room between their car and the one ahead, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic.(通过在自家车与前车之间留出间距，司机在交通拥堵时能够应对一波刹车情况。)”说明了司机会在自家车与前车之间留出间距，C选项“Without this space, the wave would grow into a full “fake” traffic jam.(没有这个空间，这股刹车波就会演变成一场全面的“假”交通堵塞。)”中的space和前面的room一致，说明了如果没有这个空间的话会导致什么结果，承接上文，符合语境，故选C。 第三部分：语言运用（共四节，32分） 第一节 词汇运用（共8小题；每小题1分，共8分） 根据所给汉语及首字母提示，用单词的正确形式完成下面短文，并将答案写到答题卡上。 45.

Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or new to two-wheeled travel, this annual event goes beyond fun: it’s a purposeful effort to add joy and responsibility to kids’ routines, while building a commitment to planetary health. What Is Bike to School Day? Bike to School Day is a nationwide movement that encourages schools, families, and communities to prioritize active, non-motorized travel for kids. From cities to small towns, participating schools work toward nurturing physical health in children while easing traffic jams and cutting down on pollution from school-run cars. Beyond fresh air and exercise, this event helps people adopt a more mindful approach to daily travel, letting participants play a role in a culture focused on sustainability and public health. Key Details for the Day When: February 7 — following regular school schedules while offering a refreshing break from routine. Where: Your local school; many group rides are organized from set meeting points — check with your school or ride leader for specifics. What to bring: A well-kept bike, a properly fitted helmet (required for safety), a lock, and snacks or water to stay energized. T-shirts: All registered attendees get an exclusive branded T-shirt — not just a keepsake, but a visible sign of your commitment to redefining the school commute as a community experience. How and Why Getting involved is straightforward: fill out the online form to register as a participant. And you will get a chance to win a bike if you post your Bike to School Day journey on social media to share your experience with a wider community. It’s time to cut back on car trips and embrace biking as a way to foster long-term healthy habits, reduce environmental impact, and build a shared sense of adventure. 26. What can we learn about the Bike to School Day? A. It is launched by local schools. B. Participants need to register in groups. C. Participants have to be experienced cyclists. D. It involves schools, families and communities. 27. What should participants do in advance? A. Fill out a paper application. B. Prepare a bike and a helmet. C. Share the event notice online. D. Ask for leave from the school. 28. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To propose a nationwide initiative. B. To highlight the benefits of cycling. C. To raise awareness of travelling green. D. To encourage participation in an event. B It was the festive season. Mom had baked some delicious cookies. Jam tarts were always my favorite and I had enjoyed myself to my heart’s content. Moreover, the refrigerator was well-stocked with chocolates and ice-cream so I helped myself to all the goodies. That night I woke up with an unbearable toothache. No amount of aspirin could stop the pain. When morning arrived, I had to do the unavoidable — make an appointment with the dentist. My dental appointment was at 2 pm that afternoon, which was just another four hours away. The thought was enough to kill my interest in everything else. I had butterflies in my stomach. I arrived at the dental clinic an hour before the appointment. After registering, I walked unenthusiastically towards a chair. I did not even bother to look at the other patients. Picking up a few journals, I tried to read to get rid of my fear and pain, but I could not concentrate. All I was aware of was a terrible pain. The sight of patients coming out from the treatment room, with large pieces of gauze (纱布) sticking out from their mouths, only seemed to worsen my pain. When my name was finally called, I staggered into the treatment room. I heard the dentist greeting me, but I could not bring myself to respond to his greeting. The sight of the drilling equipment and the hypodermic syringes (皮下注射器) only increased my feelings of sickness. When the dentist asked me to take my seat and then open my mouth, I felt my heart beating very fast. I was sure that I was going to get a heart attack. The dentist informed me that it was best to extract the tooth. I nodded and opened my mouth and tried to think of other things. The next minute or so was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I grabbed the dentist’s hands more than once. At first, he was quite taken aback and eyed me sharply. Then he warned me that he would have my hands tied if I were to repeat my antics. I did not think that he was joking! Soon the pain gave way to a soothing sensation. When the dentist told me that the pain was all over and the bad tooth was pulled out, I could hardly believe my ears. After paying for the extraction, I walked out of the clinic with a sigh of relief, vowing never again to let my sweet tooth get the better of me. From that day on, I learned to enjoy treats in moderation and in proper amounts — a painful but valuable lesson well learned. 29. The author wasn’t feeling well that night because of ________. A. unlimited eating of goodies B. an upset stomach C. too much fun during the day D. overuse of aspirin 30. What did the author do to distract himself from the toothache before he met the dentist? A. Arriving at the clinic earlier B. Attempting to read magazines C. Observing other patients D. Giving no response to the dentist 31. What does the underlined word “antics” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. active behavior B. painful behavior C. funny behavior D. dangerous behavior 32. What lesson might the author have learned from this experience? A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. After a storm always comes a calm. C. Too much good is good for nothing. D. Fear is often greater than the danger. C Scientists have created by accident an enzyme (酶) that breaks down plastic drinks bottles. The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic-pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles. The new research was inspired by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved (进化) to eat plastic at a waste dump in Japan. Scientists have now revealed the detailed structure of the important enzyme produced by the bug. An international team then adjusted the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had accidentally made the molecule (分子) even better at breaking down the plastic used for drinks bottles, outperforming the natural bacteria. “What actually turned out was we improved the enzyme, which was a bit of a shock,” said head researcher Prof. Mc Geehan, at the University of Portsmouth, UK. At present, the enzyme takes a few days to start breaking down the plastic, far faster than the centuries it takes in the oceans, but the researchers are optimistic this can be speeded up even further and become a practical large-scale process. “What we are hoping to do is use this enzyme to turn this plastic back into its original components, so we can literally recycle it back to plastic,” said McGeehan. “It means we won’t need to dig up any more oil and, fundamentally, it should reduce the amount of plastic in the environment.” About 1 million plastic bottles are sold each minute around the globe and, with just 14% recycled, many end up in the oceans where they have polluted even the remote parts, harming ocean life and potentially people who eat seafood. “Plastic is incredibly resistant to degradation,” said McGeehan. “It is one of these wonder materials that has been made a little bit too well.” Currently those bottles that are recycled can only be turned into fibres (纤维) for clothing or carpets, while the new enzyme indicates a way to recycle old clear plastic bottles back into new clear plastic bottles. “You are always up against the fact oil is cheap, so plastic is cheap,” said McGeehan. “It is so easy for manufacturers to generate more of that stuff, rather than even try to recycle, but I believe there is a public interest here: attitude is changing so much that companies are starting to look at how they can properly recycle these bottles.” Prof. Adisa Azapagic, at the University of Manchester in the UK, agreed the enzyme could be useful but added: “A full life-cycle study would be needed to ensure that the technology does not solve one environmental problem — waste — at the expense of others, including additional greenhouse gas emissions.” 33. What does the passage say about the bug that produces the important enzyme? A. It has a natural ability to break down plastics. B. It is important to the recycling of plastic bottles. C. It has a chemical structure unknown to scientists. D. It is a bacterium that increases quickly in number. 34. What can we learn about the enzyme scientists have created? A. It was a breakthrough made with persistent efforts. B. It was discovered during a lab experiment accident. C. It will lead to a dramatic reform in plastic industry. D. It may make full recycling of plastic bottles a reality. 35. What is Prof. Adisa Azapagic’s attitude towards the application of the enzyme? A. Favorable B. Doubtful C. Cautious D. Unconcerned D This week’s Nobel Physics Prize honored two scientists who helped computers “learn” more like the human brain. A day later, the Chemistry Prize went to three researchers who used AI to design proteins and reveal molecular (分子的) structures, a problem that had troubled biologists for decades. Here come the complaints. This was computer science, not physics or chemistry! Of the five winners, arguably only one, biochemist David Baker, works in the field he was awarded in. The Nobel Prizes have traditionally favored concrete results over theory, experimental discovery over pure idea. But that pattern didn’t quite hold this year: one prize went to scientists who were dedicated to physics as a foundation on which to build computer models used for no groundbreaking result in particular. The winners on Wednesday, on the other hand, had created computer models that made big advancements in biochemistry. This shift hints at an unsettling prospect: Perhaps scientists will merely craft the tools that make the breakthroughs, rather than do the revolutionary work themselves or even understand how it came about. Artificial intelligence designs and builds hundreds of molecular Notre Dames (巴黎圣母院) and a researcher is honored for inventing the tool “shovel”. But hey, give people some credit. Science has always involved tools and instruments, and our relationship to them has grown more complex with their advancement. Few astronomers today put an eye to a telescope; sensors and AI models collect eye-popping volumes of data; computer programs analyze them for patterns familiar and strange; researchers examine them, sometimes from halfway across the world. The heavens are pixels (像素) on a monitor. Who, then, owns the discovery? Where does the machinery end and the human begin? If anything, highlighting AI’s role in science, the Nobel Committee also revealed its own untimely approach. Alfred Nobel’s 1895 vision rewarded the individual genius planting flags in Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine. But today’s challenges, such as climate change, cancer, extinction, don’t respect those boundaries. Rare is the pure chemist or biologist; common is the geochemist, the computational evolutionary theorist. AI is making these divisions less distinct, linking vast datasets across disciplines and boosting unexpected cooperation. “Among” is the key word. Science is ever more a team effort, a beautiful, essential reality that the Nobels, with their strict rules and categories, struggle to celebrate. If Nobel Committee is now rewarding the contributions of AI, should it not also recognize the researchers whose results it learned from? 36. What caused the complaints about this year’s Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry? A. Winners were recognized for experimental results. B. Both prizes were associated with computer science. C. The biology field has long been overlooked in the award. D. Physics Prizes were awarded for models in biochemistry. 37. The writer mentions “Notre Dame” and “telescope” to suggest ________. A. AI masks human-machine roles in discovery B. humans owe their understanding of the world to AI C. AI is more crucial than humans in scientific exploration D. humans enable tools to independently make breakthroughs 38. It can be inferred in the last two paragraphs that ________. A. the committee has been used to applauding a team effort B. emphasising individual genius is against modern science C. AI should be preferred over researchers for breakthroughs D. the strict rules and categories address scientific challenges 39. What might be the best title of this passage? A. AI takes over: the decline of traditional science B. AI dominates science: the end of human discovery C. Nobel Prizes question AI’s role in modern research D. Nobel Prizes highlight AI and teamwork in science 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 From an airplane, cars moving slowly down highways look like ants. But unlike cars, ants somehow avoid the trouble of stop-and-go traffic. ____40____. Traffic flow becomes unstable as the number of vehicles increases. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, a single driver tapping the brakes can cause a lasting wave of traffic jams that spreads backward for miles. Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist at the University of Tokyo, calls this “a phase transition”. It is like water freezing into ice, where a small change causes a dramatic shift in state. Nishinari’s earlier research revealed that ants searching for food keep smooth flow even when there are very large numbers of them. Their secret? Recent studies tracking desert ants show they travel in well-organized groups of 3-20 individuals, moving at nearly constant speeds with consistent spacing between one another — about three body lengths apart. Crucially, they never speed up to overtake slower-moving peers. ____41____. Human drivers, by contrast, at rush hour are unlikely to follow such rules. “We maximize individual interests when driving, leading to bad jams,” notes Nicola Pugno, an engineer studying the behavior of groups. ____42____ In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share real-time data with nearby vehicles to maintain steady speeds and distances, or avoid overtaking altogether. This vehicle network would be analogous (类似的) to ants on a trail, which use chemical smells to organize their movements to coordinate behavior while interacting with one another. ____43____ They can widen their trails when needed, while drivers are confined to fixed highway lanes. Moreover, ants never crash; they simply crawl over one another when paths cross. Today’s drivers can still learn from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam, Nishinari says: “don’t tailgate (尾随).” By leaving room between their car and the one ahead, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic. ____44____ “Just keeping away,” he says, can help traffic flow smoothly. A. However, ants have advantages cars can’t match. B. They used traffic-engineering models to analyze how the ants moved. C. Without this space, the wave would grow into a full “fake” traffic jam. D. This is surprising since there is no leader to coordinate when a jam occur. E. By doing this, they prevent the “sudden slowdowns” that jam human traffic. F. Researchers are now studying the mystery to improve self-driving vehicle technology. G. Self-driving cars, however, could be programmed to cooperate if they one day become widespread. 第三部分：语言运用（共四节，32分） 第一节 词汇运用（共8小题；每小题1分，共8分） 根据所给汉语及首字母提示，用单词的正确形式完成下面短文，并将答案写到答题卡上。 45.
