【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The selection process begins with an application. Applicants are asked to hand in a two-page summary of their business idea along with resumes (简历).(选择过程从申请开始。应聘者被要求在提交简历的同时提交一份两页纸的商业理念总结)”和“only a small percentage of applicants — about the top 5% — are invited to move on to the second stage. This stage involves responding to a set of detailed written questions within a two-week window. (只有一小部分申请者——大约前5%——能获邀进入第二阶段。这一阶段要求在两周内完成一套详细的书面问题作答)”;第三段中“From there, a final group of standout applicants is chosen for interviews conducted through phone and email.(从这些申请者中,最终会筛选出一组最杰出的候选人,通过电话和邮件进行面试)”可知,选拔过程包括申请提交、书面问题回答和面试三个阶段。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Beyond financial support, selected applicants will also benefit from the recognition and visibility that comes with being chosen by a respected global funding initiative.(除了资金支持外,被选中的申请者还将受益于被一个受人尊敬的全球资助项目选中所带来的认可和知名度)”可知,除了资金支持外,获奖者还能获得更高的公众关注度。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Entry fee部分中的“$50—Extended Registration (by 24 March 2026)(50美元——延期注册(2026年3月24日前))”、“$60—Late Registration (by 21 April 2026)(60美元——逾期注册(2026年4月21日前))”和“Students get a 50% discount(学生可享受五折优惠)”可知,如果在2026年3月26日注册,则已超过延期注册截止日期,属于“逾期注册”,该阶段费用为60美元。但学生享有50%的折扣,因此学生应支付60美元× 50% = 30美元。故选B项。
B
My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while my classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details” — something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill,” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something — the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire — breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed — graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you the crème de la crème,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out-they just multiply possibilities.
4. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1?
A. She was excited about studying medicine.
B. She felt torn between art and medical study.
C. She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
D. She gave up the hobby of drawing completely.
5. What first inspired Lora’s interest in medical illustration?
A. Recognition from a nurse.
B. Guidance from Mr. Dawson.
C. Encouragement from her lab partner.
D. Comments from Dr. Eleanor Whitman.
6. What does the underlined phrase “the crème de la crème” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. A late bloomer. B. The pick of the bunch.
C. A smart cookie. D. A snake in the grass.
7. What message does the author want to convey?
A. A picture is worth a thousand words. B. Put all your eggs in one basket.
C. It’s good to have two strings to your bow. D. Follow the beaten track to success.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间感到纠结,后来在学校职业招聘会、医院志愿者活动等经历的影响下,发现自己的艺术技能在医疗领域有独特的作用,从而将两者结合起来的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段““Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.(“艺术滋养灵魂,但会饿肚子”妈妈总是这么说。当我的生物课本慢慢把我的画本掩埋时,她的话萦绕在我心头)” 可知,Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间难以抉择,感到很纠结。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details” — something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill,” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.(来自哈佛大学的Dr. Eleanor Whitman让我们列出自己的“隐藏技能”。我颤抖着手写下“观察细节”——这是我在描绘花瓣时学到的本领。“这正是医学研究最需要的能力,”她惊叹道,并分享了一个学生将微生物学笔记转化为教科书插图的故事。我的实验室搭档轻声说:“记得我们合作的光合作用漫画吗?”第一次,我的两个世界不再显得如此割裂。)”可知,Dr. Eleanor Whitman对作者观察细节的技能做出了肯定的评价,并分享了学生将微生物学笔记转为教科书插图的例子,首次让作者感受到艺术和医学可以结合,故是Dr. Eleanor Whitman的评论让作者第一次对医学插图感兴趣,故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章画线短语后文的内容“pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.(他指着我的巨龙图画,那幅画如今已被用于疼痛管理研讨会。)”可知,作者的巨龙图画已经被用于疼痛管理研讨会,因此作者的画起到了很大的作用,故此处画线短语与B项“The pick of the bunch.(出类拔萃者)”意思相近,他指着我那幅被用于疼痛管理研讨会的巨龙图画,说道:“你那“不切实际”的技能让你出类拔萃”。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out — they just multiply possibilities.(如今,我的显微镜和画笔共用一张桌子。曾经在它们之间犹豫不决的手,现在为疫苗教育制作病毒的 3D 模型。有时我教年轻的病人画出他们的感受,而不是描述它们。我的故事不是关于内心和现实相互抵消 —— 它们只是增加了可能性)” 可知,文章主要传达了拥有两种技能(艺术和医学知识)可以照亮人生道路,带来更多可能性的信息。所以文章传达了双管齐下,照亮道路,即“弓上有两根弦是不错的”。故选C。
C
A study published in Nature on July 16th offers the strongest evidence that the urge to sleep is caused by a build-up of electrons in the mitochondria(线粒体) of certain brain cells. If true, sleep may have originally emerged as a way of repairing mitochondria, with its other benefits evolving later.
Mitochondria, which exist in almost all human and animal cells, supply energy by taking electrons from fuel molecules (供能分子) obtained from food. However, some electrons leak out during this process. These leaked electrons react with oxygen to create harmful by-products — if these substances build up, they will damage cells. The new study points out that when sleep-control neurons detect too much mitochondrial damage, they cause sleep. These neurons work like circuit-breakers: they make the brain fall into sleep before too many electrons accumulate, preventing further harm. Sleep then restores the balance of electrons and fixes damaged mitochondria.
To test this idea, scientists did experiments on fruit flies. First, they labelled the flies’ sleep-control neurons (called dorsal fan-shaped body neurons, dFBNs) with a glowing protein. Then, they disrupted the flies’ sleep by keeping them in constant motion for 12 hours.
After the experiment, the scientists observed the dFBNs under a microscope. They found that the mitochondria in these neurons had broken apart — a sign that electrons had caused damage. But once the flies got some sleep, the mitochondria joined back together, just like fixing a broken object.
Ivana Rosenzweig, a specialist in sleep neuroscience, describes the findings as a “significant conceptual shift”. Since energy supply is linked to sleep in many species, electron build-up may also cause sleep pressure in humans. The study’s authors note that people with mitochondrial disorders often feel unusually sleepy, and they hope the research will help solve sleep disorders and tiredness-related problems.
8. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A. Sleep may initially fix mitochondria.
B. Mitochondria take electrons from food.
C. Electrons leakage damages cells directly.
D. Neurons cause sleep when electrons leak.
9. Why does the author mention “fruit flies” in paragraph 3?
A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To make a prediction. D. To confirm an assumption.
10. What can we infer from Ivana Rosenzweig’s comment?
A. Electron build-up only affects sleep in fruit flies.
B. Previous studies on sleep pressure were completely wrong.
C. The study changes the way people understand sleep causes.
D. Mitochondrial disorders are the main cause of sleep problems.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how to improve sleep quality.
B. To introduce a study on the cause of sleep urge.
C. To discuss the link between diet and sleep health.
D. To compare different theories of mitochondrial repair.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了发表在《自然》杂志上的一项研究,该研究提供了强有力的证据,表明睡眠欲望是由某些脑细胞线粒体中电子的积累引起的。睡眠最初可能是作为修复线粒体的一种方式出现。文章还介绍了相关实验过程及该研究对解决睡眠障碍的潜在意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“If true, sleep may have originally emerged as a way of repairing mitochondria, with its other benefits evolving later.(如果这是真的,睡眠最初可能是作为一种修复线粒体的方式出现的,而它的其他好处是后来才进化的。)”以及第二段中的“The new study points out that when sleep-control neurons detect too much mitochondrial damage, they cause sleep. These neurons work like circuit-breakers: they make the brain fall into sleep before too many electrons accumulate, preventing further harm. Sleep then restores the balance of electrons and fixes damaged mitochondria.(这项新研究指出,当睡眠控制神经元检测到线粒体损伤过多时,它们会导致睡眠。这些神经元就像断路器一样:在过多的电子积累之前,它们让大脑进入睡眠状态,防止进一步的伤害。然后睡眠恢复了电子的平衡,修复了受损的线粒体。)”可知,睡眠最初可能是作为一种修复线粒体的方式出现的,即睡眠最初可能修复线粒体。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“To test this idea, scientists did experiments on fruit flies.(为了验证这个想法,科学家们在果蝇身上做了实验。)”以及后文描述的实验过程和结果,可知作者提到“果蝇”是为了验证前文提到的“当睡眠控制神经元检测到线粒体损伤过多时,它们会导致睡眠”这一假设。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ivana Rosenzweig, a specialist in sleep neuroscience, describes the findings as a “significant conceptual shift”. Since energy supply is linked to sleep in many species, electron build-up may also cause sleep pressure in humans.(睡眠神经科学专家Ivana Rosenzweig将这一发现描述为“重大的概念转变”。由于能量供应与许多物种的睡眠有关,电子的积累也可能导致人类的睡眠压力。)”可知,Ivana Rosenzweig认为这项研究改变了人们对睡眠原因的理解方式,即电子的积累可能导致睡眠压力,这是一个重大的概念转变。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A study published in Nature on July 16th offers the strongest evidence that the urge to sleep is caused by a build-up of electrons in the mitochondria(线粒体) of certain brain cells.(7月16日发表在《自然》杂志上的一项研究提供了最有力的证据,证明睡眠的冲动是由某些脑细胞线粒体中电子的积累引起的。)”以及后文对该研究的详细描述和实验验证,可知文章的主要目的是介绍一项关于睡眠冲动原因的研究。故选B项。
D
For some readers, a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only.
In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”
When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words.
Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”.
Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.”
We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.
12. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries?
A. The decline of the print media.
B. The convenience of online lookup.
C. People’s indifference to accuracy.
D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital.
13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers?
A. Their workload will double.
B. They will remain in demand.
C. Their existence is threatened.
D. They need to upgrade their skills.
14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries?
A. They boost long-term memory.
B. They last longer than digital files.
C. They offer an escape from screens.
D. They give more authoritative definitions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries
B. My Love for Looking up Words
C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change
D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象,分析了其原因,探讨了词典编纂者的未来,并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”(美国记者斯蒂芬·法特西斯在其著作《未删节本:现代词典的诱惑与威胁》中,记述了人类对搜索引擎长达十年的依赖所带来的变革:“无论是精良的释义还是粗劣的诠释,皆可一键获取。绝大多数人对此毫不在意,抑或无力辨别——专业研究、抓取数据、僵尸网站,凡是搜索所得皆照单全收。”)”可知,网络搜索的便捷性使人们只需点击一下就能获取定义,从而减少了对纸质词典的依赖。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language.(等我写完这本书时,已无法确定,人们还需要有血有肉的词典编纂者多久,来记录英语语言的发展进程)”可知,作者不确定现实中的词典编纂者还能被需要多久,由此可推知,现实生活中的词典编纂者的生存受到了威胁。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊,也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后,仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知,作者坚持使用纸质词典是因为它们提供了从屏幕中解脱出来的机会,是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容的天堂。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(我们无法断言人类仍需要实体词典。正如百科全书与地图册,其中最优秀的早已迁移至线上。事实上,多数搜索引擎的起点正是专家编纂的词典与百科全书。但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊,也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后,仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知,文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象,并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视,认为它们是无比珍贵的时光胶囊,是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后,仅存的自由天堂之一,A项“A Word in Favor of Dictionaries(为纸质词典正名)”概括了文章的主旨,适合作为标题。故选A项。

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。
Early 2025 was a tough time for Taylor MacMahon. The 21-year-old college student was struggling with some intense anxiety so she decided to seek help from a doctor. ____16____ “He literally told me to go touch grass.” she recalls. MacMahon was skeptical at first, but she was surprised to discover how well — and quickly — it worked. MacMahon's experience matches a growing trend in medicine: doctors prescribing time in nature to their patients. Scott Kaiser, is one of these doctors. Here are some common ways that he is using the great outdoors to improve their patients' health.
____17____ Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. To take it to the next level, head to a nature preserve, forest, botanical garden, mountain or lake and engage in “forest bathing”.
Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking, swimming or picnicking. ____18____ And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on your balcony or on a park bench will bring benefits.
Dr. Kaiser emphasizes that nature prescriptions are adaptable. “It's about finding what works for each person. For instance, I once used whale-watching as a prescription for one patient because they loved being on the ocean,” says Dr. Kaiser. “____19____ Mine is sitting on the beach or riding waves.”
Dr. Kaiser puts it like this: When you feel so overwhelmed with your life that you feel like you can't fit one more thing in, that's exactly when you need to write your own nature prescription. You'll immediately be happier, healthier and, yes, more productive in the rest of your life. ____20____
A. It's worth it.
B. The options are almost limitless.
C. Sensory walks are an easy way to get started.
D. Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging.
E. But the recommended treatment was much of a surprise.
F. Yours might be watching the sunset from your backyard.
G. To begin, integrate gentle physical activities into your routine.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. B 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕医生为患者开“自然处方”这一新兴医疗趋势展开,介绍了斯科特·凯泽医生推荐的各类亲近自然的方式,说明自然对改善身心健康的作用。
【16题详解】
根据上文“The 21-year-old college student was struggling with some intense anxiety so she decided to seek help from a doctor.(这位21岁的大学生深受重度焦虑困扰,于是决定去看医生寻求帮助)”以及下文“He literally told me to go touch grass.(他竟然让我去接触大自然)”可知,此空需要体现医生的治疗建议让她感到意外。E选项But the recommended treatment was much of a surprise.(但医生给出的治疗建议却让她大吃一惊)中的“but”形成转折,衔接看医生的行为和意外的建议,符合语境。故选E项。
【17题详解】
分析语篇可知,此处为该段主旨句,需概括下文内容。下文“Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste.(凯泽医生建议,在大自然中用心散步,专注于自己能看到、闻到、听到、触摸到甚至尝到的事物)”围绕调动感官的自然散步展开。C选项Sensory walks are an easy way to get started.(感官散步是开启亲近自然的简单方式)中的“Sensory walks”对应下文的视觉、嗅觉等感官体验,精准概括本段核心,符合语境。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking, swimming or picnicking.(其他简单的自然处方包括园艺、徒步、骑行、游泳或野餐)”以及下文“And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on your balcony or on a park bench will bring benefits.(如果觉得这些主动的活动太累,哪怕只是坐在户外的阳台或公园长椅上,也能收获益处)”可知,此空需要说明自然处方的选择非常多。B选项The options are almost limitless.(这类选择几乎数不胜数)承接前文的多种活动,同时引出后文更轻松的方式,符合语境。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“For instance, I once used whale-watching as a prescription for one patient because they loved being on the ocean(比如,我曾为一位患者开具了观鲸的自然处方,因为他们喜欢待在海边)”以及下文“Mine is sitting on the beach or riding waves.(我喜欢的方式是坐在海边或冲浪)”可知,此空需要承接“因人而异选方式”的话题,用第二人称举例。F选项Yours might be watching the sunset from your backyard.(你喜欢的方式或许是在自家后院看日落)中的“Yours”与前文的“one patient”、下文的“Mine”形成对应,符合语境。故选F项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“You'll immediately be happier, healthier and, yes, more productive in the rest of your life.(你会立刻变得更快乐、更健康,在生活的其他方面也会更有效率)”可知,此空需要总结亲近自然的这份付出是值得的。A选项It's worth it.(这一切都是值得的)承接前文自然处方带来的诸多益处,对全文进行收尾,符合语境。故选A项。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这场主题为“共享美丽,共享文明”的沙龙以“雅集”的形式举办,这种形式在古代中国是知识分子、艺术家以及社会上层人士的惯常活动方式。句子谓语动词是was organized,空格处填入非谓语动词,此处theme与salon构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填themed。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。此处为所属关系,应用介词of,people of higher social class意为“社会上层人士”。故填of。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他们会聚在一起交流想法,展示各自的艺术或文化成就,并共同创作散文、诗歌、书法作品和绘画作品。修饰名词achievements用形容词artistic“艺术的”,作定语。故填artistic。

【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:该活动通过表演、小组讨论以及合作创作作品的展览等形式,突显了艺术对于人类共同追求美的这一主题,同时也展现了艺术在消除分歧、增进同理心和促进相互理解方面所发挥的作用。形容词shared作定语,修饰名词pursuit“追求”,故填pursuit。

【42题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:格林纳达首席文化官凯文·雅各布在一次演讲中表示:“它存在于不同文化交汇之处,在各种声音的和谐之中,在各种传统之间的相互尊重之中。” 主语It指代beauty,与find是被动关系,且陈述事实用一般现在时的被动语态,be动词用is。故填is found。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:格林纳达首席文化官凯文·雅各布在一次演讲中表示:“它存在于不同文化交汇之处,在各种声音的和谐之中,在各种传统之间的相互尊重之中。”此处speech为泛指,且是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
【44题详解】

【答案】Dear Miss Evans,
I recently participated in the meaningful activity themed “Bridging the Digital Divide for Seniors”, which prompts me to offer some suggestions for future improvement.
Firstly, I noted that the diverse needs of seniors were not always fully addressed by the general instruction provided. Pairing each senior with a dedicated volunteer could ensure more tailored support. Furthermore, insufficient emphasis was placed on the potential online risks. Educating them about common online scams and data privacy should be a priority in future sessions.
I sincerely believe these adjustments would significantly improve the activity’s impact.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
The rain tapped hard on the classroom window as I hurried to my desk. Suddenly, I spotted something small and brown curled up in a puddle (小水洼) under an oak tree beside our teaching building — too still to be a leaf. With curiosity, I rushed out to it. However, when I knelt down, my breath caught: a sparrow with one wing broken, feathers knotted, eyes half-closed. “Don’t move,” I whispered, wrapping her in my handkerchief, then dashed back.
Ms. Sophie, my English teacher, helped me make a nest from a shoebox and tissues. “We need to act fast,” she said. “Who knows about birds?” Mia, who fed stray cats daily, raised her hand, “My uncle is a vet — he can show us how to cure the wing.” Jake, our art club member, grabbed his drawing book, “I’ll draw diagrams so we won’t mess up.” Lila, who usually kept to herself, spoke up: “I can research what sparrows eat online.”
That afternoon, our group crowded around the shoebox. Mia gently held the sparrow while Jake carefully attached a small stick to her broken wing. Lila read aloud from her phone: “Warm water and crushed blueberries, but only a drop at a time.” I took notes, marking when we fed her or changed the tissues. At one point, the sparrow chirped (发啁啾声) softly, and we all froze, grinning. For the first time, we weren’t just classmates-we were a team, each doing what we did best.
Problems popped up. The sparrow refused food the next day, and Lila panicked. “Did we hurt her?” Mia checked and shook her head. “Maybe she’s scared. Let’s leave her alone for a while.” We took turns sitting by the window, talking softly so she would get used to our voices.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

By Friday, something different happened.

Then came the news that the vet said the sparrow was ready to fly.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 By Friday, something different happened. The little sparrow raised her head and pecked at blueberries from my finger. Slowly, she struggled to her feet, turning her head from side to side. At the moment, happiness and emotion welled up into our hearts. The sparrow came back to life. We cheered happily because our effort paid off. Three weeks later, we cautiously removed the small stick from her wing. For a second, she managed to hop on the edge of the box and made her first attempt to flutter wings. The wing was nearly recovered.
Then came the news that the vet said the sparrow was ready to fly. We carried her to the oak tree, where we’d found her. Immediately, she spread her wings and flew. With a cheerful call, she dived towards us, and lowered to stand on my shoulder, as if expressing her gratitude for saving her life to us, reluctant to leave. After circling again and again, she disappeared into the sky. At this time I fully understand not only do human beings have deep affection, but also other species do.

My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while my classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details” — something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill,” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something — the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire — breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed — graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you the crème de la crème,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out-they just multiply possibilities.
4. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1?
A. She was excited about studying medicine.
B. She felt torn between art and medical study.
C. She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
D. She gave up the hobby of drawing completely.
5. What first inspired Lora’s interest in medical illustration?
A. Recognition from a nurse.
B. Guidance from Mr. Dawson.
C. Encouragement from her lab partner.
D. Comments from Dr. Eleanor Whitman.
6. What does the underlined phrase “the crème de la crème” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. A late bloomer. B. The pick of the bunch.
C. A smart cookie. D. A snake in the grass.

A study published in Nature on July 16th offers the strongest evidence that the urge to sleep is caused by a build-up of electrons in the mitochondria(线粒体) of certain brain cells. If true, sleep may have originally emerged as a way of repairing mitochondria, with its other benefits evolving later.
Mitochondria, which exist in almost all human and animal cells, supply energy by taking electrons from fuel molecules (供能分子) obtained from food. However, some electrons leak out during this process. These leaked electrons react with oxygen to create harmful by-products — if these substances build up, they will damage cells. The new study points out that when sleep-control neurons detect too much mitochondrial damage, they cause sleep. These neurons work like circuit-breakers: they make the brain fall into sleep before too many electrons accumulate, preventing further harm. Sleep then restores the balance of electrons and fixes damaged mitochondria.
To test this idea, scientists did experiments on fruit flies. First, they labelled the flies’ sleep-control neurons (called dorsal fan-shaped body neurons, dFBNs) with a glowing protein. Then, they disrupted the flies’ sleep by keeping them in constant motion for 12 hours.
After the experiment, the scientists observed the dFBNs under a microscope. They found that the mitochondria in these neurons had broken apart — a sign that electrons had caused damage. But once the flies got some sleep, the mitochondria joined back together, just like fixing a broken object.
Ivana Rosenzweig, a specialist in sleep neuroscience, describes the findings as a “significant conceptual shift”. Since energy supply is linked to sleep in many species, electron build-up may also cause sleep pressure in humans. The study’s authors note that people with mitochondrial disorders often feel unusually sleepy, and they hope the research will help solve sleep disorders and tiredness-related problems.

10. What can we infer from Ivana Rosenzweig’s comment?
A. Electron build-up only affects sleep in fruit flies.
B. Previous studies on sleep pressure were completely wrong.
C. The study changes the way people understand sleep causes.
D. Mitochondrial disorders are the main cause of sleep problems.
11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how to improve sleep quality.
B. To introduce a study on the cause of sleep urge.
C. To discuss the link between diet and sleep health.
D. To compare different theories of mitochondrial repair.
D
For some readers, a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only.
In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”
When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words.
Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”.
Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.”
We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.
12. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries?
A. The decline of the print media.
B. The convenience of online lookup.
C. People’s indifference to accuracy.
D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital.
13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers?
A. Their workload will double.
B. They will remain in demand.
C. Their existence is threatened.
D. They need to upgrade their skills.
14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries?
A. They boost long-term memory.
B. They last longer than digital files.
C. They offer an escape from screens.
D. They give more authoritative definitions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries
B. My Love for Looking up Words
C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change
D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making

Early 2025 was a tough time for Taylor MacMahon. The 21-year-old college student was struggling with some intense anxiety so she decided to seek help from a doctor. ____16____ “He literally told me to go touch grass.” she recalls. MacMahon was skeptical at first, but she was surprised to discover how well — and quickly — it worked. MacMahon's experience matches a growing trend in medicine: doctors prescribing time in nature to their patients. Scott Kaiser, is one of these doctors. Here are some common ways that he is using the great outdoors to improve their patients' health.
____17____ Dr. Kaiser advises walking mindfully through nature while focusing on what you can see, smell, hear, touch and even taste. To take it to the next level, head to a nature preserve, forest, botanical garden, mountain or lake and engage in “forest bathing”.
Other simple prescriptions include gardening, hiking, biking, swimming or picnicking. ____18____ And if active pursuits feel like too much, even just sitting outdoors on your balcony or on a park bench will bring benefits.
Dr. Kaiser emphasizes that nature prescriptions are adaptable. “It's about finding what works for each person. For instance, I once used whale-watching as a prescription for one patient because they loved being on the ocean,” says Dr. Kaiser. “____19____ Mine is sitting on the beach or riding waves.”
Dr. Kaiser puts it like this: When you feel so overwhelmed with your life that you feel like you can't fit one more thing in, that's exactly when you need to write your own nature prescription. You'll immediately be happier, healthier and, yes, more productive in the rest of your life. ____20____
A. It's worth it.
B. The options are almost limitless.
C. Sensory walks are an easy way to get started.
D. Nature has a profound impact on healthy aging.
E. But the recommended treatment was much of a surprise.
F. Yours might be watching the sunset from your backyard.
G. To begin, integrate gentle physical activities into your routine.

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。
The rain tapped hard on the classroom window as I hurried to my desk. Suddenly, I spotted something small and brown curled up in a puddle (小水洼) under an oak tree beside our teaching building — too still to be a leaf. With curiosity, I rushed out to it. However, when I knelt down, my breath caught: a sparrow with one wing broken, feathers knotted, eyes half-closed. “Don’t move,” I whispered, wrapping her in my handkerchief, then dashed back.
Ms. Sophie, my English teacher, helped me make a nest from a shoebox and tissues. “We need to act fast,” she said. “Who knows about birds?” Mia, who fed stray cats daily, raised her hand, “My uncle is a vet — he can show us how to cure the wing.” Jake, our art club member, grabbed his drawing book, “I’ll draw diagrams so we won’t mess up.” Lila, who usually kept to herself, spoke up: “I can research what sparrows eat online.”
That afternoon, our group crowded around the shoebox. Mia gently held the sparrow while Jake carefully attached a small stick to her broken wing. Lila read aloud from her phone: “Warm water and crushed blueberries, but only a drop at a time.” I took notes, marking when we fed her or changed the tissues. At one point, the sparrow chirped (发啁啾声) softly, and we all froze, grinning. For the first time, we weren’t just classmates-we were a team, each doing what we did best.
Problems popped up. The sparrow refused food the next day, and Lila panicked. “Did we hurt her?” Mia checked and shook her head. “Maybe she’s scared. Let’s leave her alone for a while.” We took turns sitting by the window, talking softly so she would get used to our voices.
