Refik Anadol, a 38-year-old Turkish artist, has become one of the most famous digital artists of his generation. His work seems to be everywhere. Last year, he projected bright coral images onto a wall at the World Economic Forum. His animations (动画) also covered the huge screen of the Sphere in Las Vegas. In October, the Museum of Modern Art in New York bought one of his works.
So why is he so popular? Anadol sees AI as a powerful creative tool. In a world where so much of life happens online, he believes data has become a new kind of “paint”.
Anadol has a deep background in both art and science. He trains AI models on huge amounts of publicly available data to create colorful animations. He calls them “data paintings” when they appear on screens, and “data sculptures” when they move across walls.
Where does his data come from? One artwork used a huge amount of brain scan data. Another used recordings of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. A third combined more than 138,000 images from a museum with local weather data. The results are moving clouds and waves, as well as abstract images.
Anadol’s work has proved popular. In 2022, about 2.4 million people visited his exhibition in New York. His style is easy to understand. You don’t need to know how machine learning works to enjoy it.
Of course, Anadol has critics as well as admirers. Some compare his animations to fancy screen images — more spectacular than meaningful. Like anything created by AI, his work raises questions about originality. Is it truly creative, or does it simply recycle the work of others? Some also worry that he presents a too — rosy view of AI, ignoring its risks.
Anadol acknowledges that AI is changing everything — and not always for the better. But he remains excited about what the technology can do. “I don’t see the problem there,” he says. “I see possibilities.”
His latest project trained AI models on photos and sounds collected from 16 rainforests around the world. Anadol uses prompts to create lifelike creatures. Eagles turn into owls, which turn into toucans. The main idea is the connection between all living things. AI, he says, offers “a new brush — a thinking brush”.
Whether you like his art or not, people will be seeing a lot more of Anadol’s work.
4. What do we know about Refik Anadol from paragraph 1?
A. His work was first shown at the World Economic Forum.
B. He is the most famous digital artist in the world.
C. He prefers to create animations for large buildings.
D. His artworks are on display in multiple places.
5. What does Anadol mean by calling data a new kind of “paint”?
A. Data serves as the basic material for his art.
B. Data can be used to create colorful images.
C. Data makes his artworks more valuable.
D. Data helps him understand machine learning.
6. Why do some critics disagree with Anadol’s work?
A. His works are too difficult for people to understand.
B. He uses too much public data without permission.
C. His works lack originality and real meaning.
D. He ignores the development of traditional art.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. AI: A New Tool for Artists
B. Refik Anadol: A Digital Artist Using AI and Data
C. The Popularity of Digital Art in Modern Society
D. The Controversy About AI — Created Artworks
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍土耳其数字艺术家Refik Anadol的流行现状、其利用AI和数据创作的方式,以及作品引发的争议与他的态度。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“His work seems to be everywhere. Last year, he projected bright coral images onto a wall at the World Economic Forum. His animations (动画) also covered the huge screen of the Sphere in Las Vegas. In October, the Museum of Modern Art in New York bought one of his works.(他的作品似乎无处不在。去年,他在世界经济论坛的一面墙上投射了明亮的珊瑚图像。他的动画也覆盖了拉斯维加斯Sphere酒店的巨大屏幕。10月,纽约现代艺术博物馆购买了他的一件作品)”可知,Refik Anadol的作品在多个地方展示。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Anadol sees AI as a powerful creative tool. In a world where so much of life happens online, he believes data has become a new kind of “paint”.(Anadol将人工智能视为一种强大的创作工具。在一个生活中如此多事情都在网上发生的世界里,他认为数据已经成为一种新的“颜料”)”以及第三段“He trains AI models on huge amounts of publicly available data to create colorful animations.(他利用大量公开可用的数据训练人工智能模型,以创建彩色动画)”可知,Anadol将数据称为新的“颜料”,是因为数据是他创作艺术作品的基本材料。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Some compare his animations to fancy screen images — more spectacular than meaningful. Like anything created by AI, his work raises questions about originality. Is it truly creative, or does it simply recycle the work of others?(一些人将他的动画比作华丽的屏幕图像——壮观有余而意义不足。就像任何人工智能创作的作品一样,他的作品引发了关于原创性的问题。它真的具有创造性,还是只是简单地重复别人的作品?)”可知,一些评论家不认同Anadol的作品,是因为他们认为其作品缺乏原创性和真正的意义。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇介绍了Refik Anadol作为数字艺术家的知名度,随后详细阐述了他利用AI和数据进行创作的方式、数据来源、作品的受欢迎程度,以及引发的争议和他本人的态度,全文围绕Refik Anadol这位使用AI和数据创作的数字艺术家展开。因此“雷菲克・阿纳多尔:一位运用人工智能和数据的数字艺术家”适合作本文的最佳标题。
C
A recent study has brought new hope to patients with type 1 diabetes (糖尿病). Chinese scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough in regenerative medicine by using stem cells to repair damaged pancreatic (胰腺的) cells, which offers a more effective way to deal with this long-term disease.
Type 1 diabetes is a disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks its own cells that produce insulin (胰岛素). Patients cannot control blood sugar levels naturally and have to rely on daily injections. For a long time, conventional treatments can only relieve symptoms instead of solving the fundamental cause. This not only affects patients’ physical health but also places a heavy burden on their families.
The new treatment uses stem cells grown in the lab to replace the damaged cells. It avoids the problem of organ donation shortage and lowers the risk of rejection. In clinical trials, most patients achieved steady blood sugar control with reduced dependence on extra insulin. No serious side effects were found, proving the treatment is safe and reliable.
Though the therapy is still in the experimental stage and requires further research before wide application, experts hold a positive opinion. They believe this approach will bring great progress to treating not only diabetes but also other metabolic disorders. To the author, this innovation shows the huge potential of medical research and marks a major step forward in modern medicine.
8. What is the limitation of traditional treatments for type 1 diabetes?
A. They cost too much for poor patients. B. They only treat symptoms not the root cause.
C. They lead to serious organ damage. D. They require too frequent medical checks.
9. What can we infer about the stem cell therapy from the text?
A. It has been used in hospitals worldwide. B. It depends largely on organ donors.
C. It may influence the study of other diseases. D. It completely cures diabetes in every patient.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the new therapy?
A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Supportive.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Difficulties in medical experiments. B. Ways to prevent type 1 diabetes in daily life.
C. The history of research on stem cells. D. A promising stem cell treatment for diabetes.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍中国科学家利用干细胞修复受损胰腺细胞治疗1型糖尿病的突破,以及该疗法的特点、现状和意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For a long time, conventional treatments can only relieve symptoms instead of solving the fundamental cause.(长期以来,传统治疗只能缓解症状,而不能解决根本原因)”可知,1型糖尿病传统治疗的局限性是只能治疗症状,不能解决根本问题。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“They believe this approach will bring great progress to treating not only diabetes but also other metabolic disorders.(他们认为这种方法不仅将为糖尿病治疗带来巨大进步,也将为其他代谢性疾病的治疗带来巨大进步)”可知,干细胞疗法可能会影响其他疾病的研究。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“To the author, this innovation shows the huge potential of medical research and marks a major step forward in modern medicine.(对作者而言,这一创新展现了医学研究的巨大潜力,标志着现代医学迈出了重要一步)”可知,作者对这种新疗法持支持态度。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段“Chinese scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough in regenerative medicine by using stem cells to repair damaged pancreatic (胰腺的) cells, which offers a more effective way to deal with this long-term disease.(中国科学家在再生医学领域取得了显著突破,他们利用干细胞修复受损的胰腺细胞,为治疗这种慢性疾病提供了一种更有效的方法)”可知,文章主要介绍中国科学家利用干细胞修复受损胰腺细胞治疗1型糖尿病的突破,以及该疗法的特点、现状和意义,核心是介绍一种有前景的糖尿病干细胞治疗方法。

As gold prices hit new highs, a gold panning trend is popular in China’s old mining towns. Tourists can sift sand and shallow streams to find tiny gold flakes, which they can take home for free.
In Shandong and Zhejiang provinces, former mining towns now let visitors walk through underground tunnels, learn mining skills, and look for gold in streams and sandpits. A mining-themed park in Zhejiang’s Suichang County earned 13% more from tickets than last year by late August. During the recent 8-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, over 15,000 people booked tickets there. This year, gold prices have reached record levels. On October 8, international gold prices went above $4,000 per ounce. A visitor to the Suichang park said her husband found a small gold flake. Though it was hard to find and not valuable, “the kids were very happy,” she added. Each flake weighs 0.03 to 0.05 grams, worth about 35 to 60 yuan now.
The park’s entry ticket costs 126 yuan, and people pay an extra 30 yuan for the gold-panning activity. The “panning pool” is man-made. Since the park opened in 2007, it has added 1 kilogram of gold foil to the pool, said park manager Luo Feng. Besides gold panning, the park also offers tours of Tang (618 — 907) and Ming (1368 — 1644) dynasty mining tunnels, plus a museum. Similar spots exist in other places: a “Gold Panning Town” and museum in a closed mine in Shandong Zhaoyuan City, and a planned museum in Jilin’s Jiapigou (a 200-year-old major gold mine).
Experts say this trend shows people now prefer “hands-on experiences” over just sightseeing. Luo plans to add gold jewelry making and gold-foil art workshops to attract young people. “Gold stands for wealth and stability, which people of all ages care about,” he said. This kind of travel is called “industrial tourism” (visiting industrial places). It started in Europe in the mid-20th century and came to China in the late 1990s. With government support, China now has over 1,000 such spots, from old steel mills to new electric-vehicle factories. But for long-term growth, industrial tourism needs to go beyond “factory tours and souvenir shops”, and bring in “immersive, narrative, and interactive designs to help bring industrial stories into everyday life,” Zeng Bowei, a professor in tourism economy at Beijing Union University, told domestic media.
12. What can we learn about the gold — panning activity in Suichang park?
A. Most visitors can find valuable large gold pieces.
B. Visitors need to pay extra money to take part in it.
C. Tourists can get free gold flakes from natural streams.
D. The panning pool is filled with natural gold from mines.
13. Why is the gold — panning trend becoming popular according to the text?
A. Young people want to learn traditional mining skills.
B. More old mining towns are open to tourists for free.
C. The government encourages mining tourism nationwide.
D. Gold prices are rising and people prefer experiential travel.
14. The underlined word “immersive” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. engaging B. attractive C. traditional D. professional
15. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To compare different industrial tourism projects in China.
B. To explain the reasons for the rise in international gold prices.
C. To introduce the gold-panning trend and industrial tourism.
D. To advertise the mining-themed park in Suichang County.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了金价新高背景下中国旧矿镇的淘金潮流、相关景点情况,以及背后原因和工业旅游的发展建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The park’s entry ticket costs 126 yuan, and people pay an extra 30 yuan for the gold-panning activity.(该公园门票126元,人们参加淘金活动需额外支付30元)”可知,游客需要额外付费才能参加遂昌公园的淘金活动。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As gold prices hit new highs, a gold panning trend is popular in China’s old mining towns.(随着金价创下历史新高,淘金潮流在中国的旧矿镇流行起来)”以及第四段中的“Experts say this trend shows people now prefer “hands-on experiences” over just sightseeing.(专家表示,这一趋势表明,现在人们更喜欢“亲身体验”,而不仅仅是观光)”可知,淘金潮流流行的原因是金价上涨且人们偏爱体验式旅游。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Experts say this trend shows people now prefer “hands-on experiences” over just sightseeing.(专家表示,这一趋势表明,现在人们更喜欢“亲身体验”,而不仅仅是观光)”和“industrial tourism needs to go beyond “factory tours and souvenir shops”, and bring in “immersive, narrative, and interactive designs to help bring industrial stories into everyday life”(工业旅游需要超越“工厂参观和纪念品商店”,引入“immersive、叙事性和互动性设计,帮助将工业故事融入日常生活”)”可知,immersive与“narrative(叙事性)、interactive(互动性)”并列,均是工业旅游需要具备的设计特点,结合上文提到的“亲身体验”可猜测其意为“沉浸式的”,与engaging意思最接近。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章开头介绍了金价新高下中国旧矿镇的淘金潮流及遂昌矿山主题公园的相关情况,后文延伸至工业旅游的定义、发展现状及专家建议,核心目的是介绍淘金潮流和工业旅游。

Managing Test Anxiety: A Practical Guide
Test anxiety is a common experience among students. It may bring feelings of worry and even physical discomfort before or during exams. While some pressure can help you study, too much anxiety hurts performance. ____16____.
Preparation is your most powerful weapon. ____17____ Make a study plan early, and break your material into small parts. Active recall — testing yourself instead of just reading notes — helps build stronger memory. When you know the material well, you will feel more confident.
On the day of the exam, your physical state affects your mental performance. Get enough sleep — staying up all night does more harm than good. Eat a balanced meal before the exam; your brain needs energy. ____18____ Deep breathing exercises, if practiced ahead of time, can help calm you down during the test.
____19____When you get the exam paper, take a minute to read through it. This gives you a clear picture and reduces uncertainty. Start with easier questions — this builds your confidence. If you meet a difficult question, mark it and move on. Coming back to it later often helps you find the answer.
Perhaps most importantly, fight negative thoughts. Anxiety feeds on thoughts like “I’m going to fail” or “Everyone else understands this but me.” ____20____Replace “I’m going to fail” with “I’ve prepared well, and I’ll do my best.” This change in thinking stops the anxiety cycle and helps you see things clearly.
Remember, the goal is not perfection — it is to show what you have learned. With regular practice, you can turn test anxiety from a problem into something you can handle.
A. Also, take a few minutes to relax before the exam.
B. Don’t wait until the last minute to start studying.
C. Arrive early to avoid last — minute stress.
D. Form study groups to discuss hard topics with classmates.
E. Have a clear plan when you start the exam.
F. These thoughts are signs of anxiety, not true predictions.
G. The good news is that you can manage test anxiety with some simple strategies.
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. A 19. E 20. F
【解析】

根据上文“While some pressure can help you study, too much anxiety hurts performance.(虽然适当的压力能帮助你学习,但过多的焦虑会影响表现)”以及下文围绕管理考试焦虑给出的具体建议可知,此处应承上启下,引出管理焦虑的方法,G选项“The good news is that you can manage test anxiety with some simple strategies.(好消息是,你可以用一些简单的策略来管理考试焦虑)”既呼应了上文的焦虑危害,又引出下文的具体方法。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Preparation is your most powerful weapon.”以及下文“Make a study plan early, and break your material into small parts.(尽早制定学习计划,并将学习内容分成小部分)”可知,此处应强调提前准备、不拖延,B选项“Don’t wait until the last minute to start studying.(不要等到最后一刻才开始学习)”与下文的early相呼应,衔接上文的“准备”话题。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Get enough sleep — staying up all night does more harm than good. Eat a balanced meal before the exam; your brain needs energy.(保证充足的睡眠——熬夜弊大于利。考试前吃一顿均衡的饭;你的大脑需要能量)”以及下文“Deep breathing exercises, if practiced ahead of time, can help calm you down during the test.(深呼吸练习如果提前练习,在考试时可以帮助你冷静下来)”可知,此处应介绍考试前的另一个放松方法,A选项“Also, take a few minutes to relax before the exam.(此外,考试前花几分钟放松一下)”中的Also承接上文的睡眠、饮食建议,relax与下文的calm you down相呼应。
【19题详解】
根据下文“When you get the exam paper, take a minute to read through it. This gives you a clear picture and reduces uncertainty. Start with easier questions — this builds your confidence.(拿到试卷后,花一分钟通读一遍。这能让你对试卷有清晰的了解,减少不确定性。从较简单的题目开始——这能建立你的信心)”可知,此处应总述考试开始时要有清晰的计划,E选项“Have a clear plan when you start the exam.(考试开始时要有清晰的计划)”是下文具体做法的总起。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Anxiety feeds on thoughts like “I’m going to fail” or “Everyone else understands this but me.”(焦虑源于诸如“我要考砸了”或“其他人都懂,就我不懂”这样的想法)”以及下文“Replace “I’m going to fail” with “I’ve prepared well, and I’ll do my best.”(把“我要考砸了”换成“我已经准备得很充分了,我会尽我最大的努力。”)”可知,此处应指出这些负面想法的本质,F选项“These thoughts are signs of anxiety, not true predictions.(这些想法是焦虑的信号,而不是真实的预测)”中的These thoughts指代上文的负面想法,衔接下文的想法替换建议。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah considered herself a failure. She has been raising her 13-year-old son Tim on her own since her husband passed away. Tim wasn’t a terrible kid and never got into trouble, but he was lazy, careless, and insensitive (漠不关心的). Tim seldom appreciated Sarah. He never asked her about her days or offered to help her, and if she ever asked him for help, he refused her at once.
One afternoon, Sarah wasn’t feeling well. She asked Tim to take out the rubbish, but he didn’t even bother replying to her. “I asked you to do something, Tim! Why can’t you just listen to me for once? I’m sick of your selfish attitude!”
Tim’s eyes were fixed on his video game, and he didn’t even look at his mother.
“TIM!” Sarah snatched the controller from his hand. “I am asking something!”
“What? Mom, come on! Okay, cool, if you pay me 10 dollars, I’ll do it now.”
“Pay you? What?”
“That’s your job, mom. Why should I do your job for you for free? Nope, not happening!”
Sarah lost her cool. “And what about the cleaning, cooking, and laundry (洗衣) I do for you, Tim? Why am I not paid for it?”
Tim leaned back on the couch. “That’s your job, mom. You should stop complaining.”
Sarah’s eyes watered. “Wow! I keep complaining, huh? Fine. Don’t annoy me if your lunch is late today.”
Finally, Sarah took the rubbish out by herself. She was feeling a bit dizzy (头晕) when she returned to the kitchen. She had some water and decided to make herself something to eat. A couple of minutes later, Tim decided to freshen up and change his clothes. He quickly ran to his room. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise from the kitchen.
“Mom, are you okay?” he asked. Sarah didn’t reply. “That’s not cool, Mom! Don’t tell me you won’t talk to me because I didn’t take out the rubbish!” But as he entered the kitchen, his smile went away, and his heart began to beat faster. The flour jar was on the floor, and so was Sarah. “Mom! Are you okay? Mom! Oh no!” Tim rushed to get some water, and sprinkled it on Sarah’s face, but she didn’t wake up.
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。
Paragraph 1: Panic flooding through him, Tim ran to the living room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: When Sarah came home from hospital, something quietly changed inside Tim.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible versions:
Panic flooding through him, Tim ran to the living room. He immediately grabbed his phone and dialed 911. Then Tim hurried back to the kitchen. He gently shook his mom, desperately hoping for a response, but his mom still lay unconscious. Extreme panic gripped him. It seemed ages before the assistance finally arrived! Sarah was rushed to hospital! Tim was then told that it was constant hard work and pressure that led to his mom’s breakdown. Tears of guilt sprang into his eyes. In the following days, he did his best to look after mom, doing cooking, cleaning and laundry... Luckily, mom was picking up.
When Sarah came home from hospital, something quietly changed inside Tim. Days of work almost wore him out! He realized what hard work his mom had been doing. “How foolish I have been to ignore mom’s words and take her efforts for granted.” Tim said sorry to his mom and promised he would shoulder her burdens. And he did do so! Taking out rubbish in the morning became his daily routine. Now, Sarah can always see his 13-year-old boy busy in the kitchen, living room and yard. Big smiles are now on her face and she believes she is actually a success as a Mom!
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。莎拉独自抚养13岁的儿子蒂姆,但蒂姆懒惰、粗心且对莎拉漠不关心。一天,莎拉让蒂姆倒垃圾,他却要求付费。莎拉自己倒垃圾后感到头晕,摔倒在厨房,蒂姆发现后试图唤醒她,但她没有反应。
【详解】1. 段落续写:

Refik Anadol, a 38-year-old Turkish artist, has become one of the most famous digital artists of his generation. His work seems to be everywhere. Last year, he projected bright coral images onto a wall at the World Economic Forum. His animations (动画) also covered the huge screen of the Sphere in Las Vegas. In October, the Museum of Modern Art in New York bought one of his works.
So why is he so popular? Anadol sees AI as a powerful creative tool. In a world where so much of life happens online, he believes data has become a new kind of “paint”.
Anadol has a deep background in both art and science. He trains AI models on huge amounts of publicly available data to create colorful animations. He calls them “data paintings” when they appear on screens, and “data sculptures” when they move across walls.
Where does his data come from? One artwork used a huge amount of brain scan data. Another used recordings of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. A third combined more than 138,000 images from a museum with local weather data. The results are moving clouds and waves, as well as abstract images.
Anadol’s work has proved popular. In 2022, about 2.4 million people visited his exhibition in New York. His style is easy to understand. You don’t need to know how machine learning works to enjoy it.
Of course, Anadol has critics as well as admirers. Some compare his animations to fancy screen images — more spectacular than meaningful. Like anything created by AI, his work raises questions about originality. Is it truly creative, or does it simply recycle the work of others? Some also worry that he presents a too — rosy view of AI, ignoring its risks.
Anadol acknowledges that AI is changing everything — and not always for the better. But he remains excited about what the technology can do. “I don’t see the problem there,” he says. “I see possibilities.”
His latest project trained AI models on photos and sounds collected from 16 rainforests around the world. Anadol uses prompts to create lifelike creatures. Eagles turn into owls, which turn into toucans. The main idea is the connection between all living things. AI, he says, offers “a new brush — a thinking brush”.
Whether you like his art or not, people will be seeing a lot more of Anadol’s work.
4. What do we know about Refik Anadol from paragraph 1?
A. His work was first shown at the World Economic Forum.
B. He is the most famous digital artist in the world.
C. He prefers to create animations for large buildings.
D. His artworks are on display in multiple places.
5. What does Anadol mean by calling data a new kind of “paint”?
A. Data serves as the basic material for his art.
B. Data can be used to create colorful images.
C. Data makes his artworks more valuable.
D. Data helps him understand machine learning.
6. Why do some critics disagree with Anadol’s work?
A. His works are too difficult for people to understand.
B. He uses too much public data without permission.
C. His works lack originality and real meaning.
D. He ignores the development of traditional art.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. AI: A New Tool for Artists
B. Refik Anadol: A Digital Artist Using AI and Data
C. The Popularity of Digital Art in Modern Society
D. The Controversy About AI — Created Artworks
C
A recent study has brought new hope to patients with type 1 diabetes (糖尿病). Chinese scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough in regenerative medicine by using stem cells to repair damaged pancreatic (胰腺的) cells, which offers a more effective way to deal with this long-term disease.
Type 1 diabetes is a disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks its own cells that produce insulin (胰岛素). Patients cannot control blood sugar levels naturally and have to rely on daily injections. For a long time, conventional treatments can only relieve symptoms instead of solving the fundamental cause. This not only affects patients’ physical health but also places a heavy burden on their families.
The new treatment uses stem cells grown in the lab to replace the damaged cells. It avoids the problem of organ donation shortage and lowers the risk of rejection. In clinical trials, most patients achieved steady blood sugar control with reduced dependence on extra insulin. No serious side effects were found, proving the treatment is safe and reliable.
Though the therapy is still in the experimental stage and requires further research before wide application, experts hold a positive opinion. They believe this approach will bring great progress to treating not only diabetes but also other metabolic disorders. To the author, this innovation shows the huge potential of medical research and marks a major step forward in modern medicine.
8. What is the limitation of traditional treatments for type 1 diabetes?
A. They cost too much for poor patients. B. They only treat symptoms not the root cause.
C. They lead to serious organ damage. D. They require too frequent medical checks.
9. What can we infer about the stem cell therapy from the text?
A. It has been used in hospitals worldwide. B. It depends largely on organ donors.
C. It may influence the study of other diseases. D. It completely cures diabetes in every patient.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the new therapy?
A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Supportive.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Difficulties in medical experiments. B. Ways to prevent type 1 diabetes in daily life.
C. The history of research on stem cells. D. A promising stem cell treatment for diabetes.
D
As gold prices hit new highs, a gold panning trend is popular in China’s old mining towns. Tourists can sift sand and shallow streams to find tiny gold flakes, which they can take home for free.
In Shandong and Zhejiang provinces, former mining towns now let visitors walk through underground tunnels, learn mining skills, and look for gold in streams and sandpits. A mining-themed park in Zhejiang’s Suichang County earned 13% more from tickets than last year by late August. During the recent 8-day National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, over 15,000 people booked tickets there. This year, gold prices have reached record levels. On October 8, international gold prices went above $4,000 per ounce. A visitor to the Suichang park said her husband found a small gold flake. Though it was hard to find and not valuable, “the kids were very happy,” she added. Each flake weighs 0.03 to 0.05 grams, worth about 35 to 60 yuan now.
The park’s entry ticket costs 126 yuan, and people pay an extra 30 yuan for the gold-panning activity. The “panning pool” is man-made. Since the park opened in 2007, it has added 1 kilogram of gold foil to the pool, said park manager Luo Feng. Besides gold panning, the park also offers tours of Tang (618 — 907) and Ming (1368 — 1644) dynasty mining tunnels, plus a museum. Similar spots exist in other places: a “Gold Panning Town” and museum in a closed mine in Shandong Zhaoyuan City, and a planned museum in Jilin’s Jiapigou (a 200-year-old major gold mine).
Experts say this trend shows people now prefer “hands-on experiences” over just sightseeing. Luo plans to add gold jewelry making and gold-foil art workshops to attract young people. “Gold stands for wealth and stability, which people of all ages care about,” he said. This kind of travel is called “industrial tourism” (visiting industrial places). It started in Europe in the mid-20th century and came to China in the late 1990s. With government support, China now has over 1,000 such spots, from old steel mills to new electric-vehicle factories. But for long-term growth, industrial tourism needs to go beyond “factory tours and souvenir shops”, and bring in “immersive, narrative, and interactive designs to help bring industrial stories into everyday life,” Zeng Bowei, a professor in tourism economy at Beijing Union University, told domestic media.
12. What can we learn about the gold — panning activity in Suichang park?
A. Most visitors can find valuable large gold pieces.
B. Visitors need to pay extra money to take part in it.
C. Tourists can get free gold flakes from natural streams.
D. The panning pool is filled with natural gold from mines.
13. Why is the gold — panning trend becoming popular according to the text?
A. Young people want to learn traditional mining skills.
B. More old mining towns are open to tourists for free.
C. The government encourages mining tourism nationwide.
D. Gold prices are rising and people prefer experiential travel.
14. The underlined word “immersive” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .

Managing Test Anxiety: A Practical Guide
Test anxiety is a common experience among students. It may bring feelings of worry and even physical discomfort before or during exams. While some pressure can help you study, too much anxiety hurts performance. ____16____.
Preparation is your most powerful weapon. ____17____ Make a study plan early, and break your material into small parts. Active recall — testing yourself instead of just reading notes — helps build stronger memory. When you know the material well, you will feel more confident.
On the day of the exam, your physical state affects your mental performance. Get enough sleep — staying up all night does more harm than good. Eat a balanced meal before the exam; your brain needs energy. ____18____ Deep breathing exercises, if practiced ahead of time, can help calm you down during the test.
____19____When you get the exam paper, take a minute to read through it. This gives you a clear picture and reduces uncertainty. Start with easier questions — this builds your confidence. If you meet a difficult question, mark it and move on. Coming back to it later often helps you find the answer.
Perhaps most importantly, fight negative thoughts. Anxiety feeds on thoughts like “I’m going to fail” or “Everyone else understands this but me.” ____20____Replace “I’m going to fail” with “I’ve prepared well, and I’ll do my best.” This change in thinking stops the anxiety cycle and helps you see things clearly.
Remember, the goal is not perfection — it is to show what you have learned. With regular practice, you can turn test anxiety from a problem into something you can handle.
A. Also, take a few minutes to relax before the exam.
B. Don’t wait until the last minute to start studying.
C. Arrive early to avoid last — minute stress.
D. Form study groups to discuss hard topics with classmates.
E. Have a clear plan when you start the exam.
F. These thoughts are signs of anxiety, not true predictions.
G. The good news is that you can manage test anxiety with some simple strategies.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sarah considered herself a failure. She has been raising her 13-year-old son Tim on her own since her husband passed away. Tim wasn’t a terrible kid and never got into trouble, but he was lazy, careless, and insensitive (漠不关心的). Tim seldom appreciated Sarah. He never asked her about her days or offered to help her, and if she ever asked him for help, he refused her at once.
One afternoon, Sarah wasn’t feeling well. She asked Tim to take out the rubbish, but he didn’t even bother replying to her. “I asked you to do something, Tim! Why can’t you just listen to me for once? I’m sick of your selfish attitude!”
Tim’s eyes were fixed on his video game, and he didn’t even look at his mother.
“TIM!” Sarah snatched the controller from his hand. “I am asking something!”
“What? Mom, come on! Okay, cool, if you pay me 10 dollars, I’ll do it now.”
“Pay you? What?”
“That’s your job, mom. Why should I do your job for you for free? Nope, not happening!”
Sarah lost her cool. “And what about the cleaning, cooking, and laundry (洗衣) I do for you, Tim? Why am I not paid for it?”
Tim leaned back on the couch. “That’s your job, mom. You should stop complaining.”
Sarah’s eyes watered. “Wow! I keep complaining, huh? Fine. Don’t annoy me if your lunch is late today.”
Finally, Sarah took the rubbish out by herself. She was feeling a bit dizzy (头晕) when she returned to the kitchen. She had some water and decided to make herself something to eat. A couple of minutes later, Tim decided to freshen up and change his clothes. He quickly ran to his room. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise from the kitchen.
“Mom, are you okay?” he asked. Sarah didn’t reply. “That’s not cool, Mom! Don’t tell me you won’t talk to me because I didn’t take out the rubbish!” But as he entered the kitchen, his smile went away, and his heart began to beat faster. The flour jar was on the floor, and so was Sarah. “Mom! Are you okay? Mom! Oh no!” Tim rushed to get some water, and sprinkled it on Sarah’s face, but she didn’t wake up.
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。
Paragraph 1: Panic flooding through him, Tim ran to the living room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
