My broken English made it hard to keep up with colleagues. At lab meetings, the conversation progressed so quickly that by the time I understood a question, the discussion had already moved on. I once ruined an experiment due to misunderstanding instructions. In a presentation, I embarrassed myself by confusing “gene dilution” with “gene deletion”. I felt out of place, uncertain about my future in science. I had moved to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland, excited to become a scientist, but quickly felt overwhelmed. The lab was full of complex instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks, and I had no idea how to use them. Most of all, the language barrier made everything harder. Classes were taught in English, and I struggled to follow the discussions. After a particularly embarrassing presentation, a senior lab member pulled me aside and said, “You are not here because of your English. You are here because you can think.” His words gave me the strength to continue. I began recording every class and replaying the discussions at night. Slowly, my English improved, and I grew more confident in expressing my ideas. Years later, after training in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States, I returned to my hometown to run my own lab. My students all spoke Mandarin, and I assumed they wouldn’t struggle as much as I had because they didn’t face the same language barrier. But I soon realized they too battled doubts about their careers and abilities. I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and solve problems creatively, just as I had been taught. When I saw a student struggling with an experiment, I told her, “You are not here because your experiments always work. You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was encouraged by these words. Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain, but who leave with enough confidence to challenge me, their professor. For me, helping others cross the bridge is the true reward of scientific life. 24. Why did the author almost quit her Ph.D. according to paragraph 1? A. She disliked lab discussions. B. She lacked future plans in science. C. She messed up her presentation. D. She struggled with language barriers. 25. What was the turning point for the author during her Ph.D. studies? A. Her embarrassing presentation. B. Returning to her hometown to run a lab. C. The senior lab member’s supportive remark. D. Moving to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland. 26. Which word would best describe the author as a teacher? A. Inspirational. B. Strict. C. Humorous. D. Authoritative. 27. What does the underlined phrase “cross the bridge” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Travel between countries for education. B. Change from a student to a professor. C. Grow from uncertainty to confidence. D. Build bonds between professors and students. C From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising. Ads for 13 categories of processed foods and drinks, such as sugary soft drinks, crisps, and chocolates, are banned online and can only air on TV after 9 pm. The reason is rising childhood obesity. Our exclusive report last week highlighted doctors’ calls for routine blood pressure testing in children, emphasizing the dangers of obesity and the case for preventing it. The longer-term trend, both nationally and internationally, is widely recognised as alarming. Since the UK’s child measurement programme began 20 years ago, obesity rates among primary-age children in England have climbed from 17.5% to 22.1%. Obesity deepens social inequality, with rates in poverty-stricken areas twice as likely to be obese as those in wealthy ones. The resulting health risks — type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases—add to the hardships of the disadvantaged. This concentration of harm is a key reason to welcome the advertising restrictions. Like gambling or smoking, the uneven impact of unhealthy processed foods on already-struggling households is among their most damaging effects. Children often lack the knowledge and maturity to navigate decisions about fat, sugar, and salt intake. For the UK government, narrowing the gaps that restrict the life chances of disadvantaged children must always be a priority. Public debate on obesity has increasingly focused on new weight-loss drugs, yet in the UK, these are available only to a small group of severely obese children. This highlights the need to prioritize prevention and public health initiatives around food, as a healthy lifestyle involves exercise and nutrition, not just body weight. Charities like Sustain have criticized the concessions (让步) made to industry giants, such as allowing brand advertising as long as specific junk foods are not displayed. Their caution is justified: last year saw record snack food sales, and billboard advertising — less controlled by rules — has rocketed. But while the new rules will not end childhood obesity and should have been in place sooner, as with other half measures, they are much better than none at all. 28. What is the main purpose of the new UK rules? A. To shelter children from obesity risks. B. To encourage people to break bad habits. C. To limit junk food sales to evenings. D. To enforce blood pressure testing in schools. 29. Why does the author mention gambling and smoking in paragraph 3? A. To explain the causes of poverty. B. To show they are addictive. C. To stress junk foods’ harm to the poor. D. To list common bad habits for children. 30. What is the author’s attitude toward the new advertising restrictions? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Carefree. D. Conservative. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Childhood Obesity: The Growing Crisis B. Health Inequality: The Widening Divide C. Stricter Regulations: The Call for Action D. Tackling Obesity: UK’s New Ad Rules D Drug development has long been known as a high-risk and high-cost process. On average, only one in every ten drug candidates that enter human trials eventually reaches the market. The journey from initial discovery to a marketable drug often spans 10 to 15 years, and the cost for a single drug is estimated at roughly $2.8 billion. This high risk and cost, coupled with the eventual loss of patent protection, creates constant pressure on drug companies to find the next breakthrough treatment. In recent years, generative AI has begun to change this picture. The drug industry is rapidly adopting AI technologies that can analyse massive biological data sets. These AI tools can identify promising drug targets and propose novel molecules(分子)that might interact with them. They can also screen libraries of data to predict the effectiveness and safety of candidates before any lab work begins. In addition, they can improve clinical trials by analysing health records to identify patients most likely to benefit from new treatments. Although the technology is still developing, early signs suggest it could make drug discovery faster, cheaper and more competitive. One encouraging result is seen in early-stage trials. AI-designed molecules have shown success rates of 80-90% in early-stage safety tests, far higher than the historical average of 40-65%. AI is also improving efficiency in other areas of the industry, from clinical paperwork to human resources. Some analysts estimate that the drug industry can gain up to $110 billion each year if AI is fully used. The rise of AI is transforming how the drug industry works. AI-native biotech businesses are emerging, especially in the U. S. and China. Drug firms are partnering with these biotech companies and also with tech giants like Amazon, Google and Microsoft. Some tech firms are even developing platforms to design drugs entirely through computer simulations. For instance, Google’s AlphaFold has already solved complex problems regarding protein structures. However, challenges remain. Governments may need to speed up regulatory reviews as the number of drug candidates increases. Patient data sharing must also be encouraged in privacy-protecting ways. Furthermore, patent rules may require adjustment if AI reduces the cost and risk of innovation. AI brings good news for medicine, but ensuring it benefits both drugmakers and patients requires the industry and regulators to adjust to this new reality. 32. What is the primary challenge for traditional drug companies? A. The shortage of breakthrough treatments. B. Inability to discover effective drug candidates. C. Limited access to cutting-edge research technologies. D. Long duration and economic burdens of drug development. 33. From paragraph 2, how does AI benefit clinical trials? A. By designing new molecules. B. By helping select suitable patients. C. By discovering new effective drugs. D. By detecting proper drug targets. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. AI-driven changes in the drug industry. B. The rise of AI-native biotech firms. C. Google’s achievements in protein structures. D. Tech giants’ partnerships with drugmakers. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Patent rules are fixed for AI innovation. B. Faster reviews can protect patient data privacy. C. Policies should be revised for the benefits from AI. D. Advanced systems are essential for drug innovation. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s easy to give in to the winter hibernation (冬眠) urge — but countless studies have shown that outdoors activity is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of anxiety, depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). ____36____Here’s how to make the best use of our natural health service. Starting small. “Sometimes getting out and running 5km was like climbing Everest. It would take me all day just to find the energy to get out,” says Alex Staniforth, a mental health campaigner. ____37____Try opening a window, sitting by natural light, or bringing nature indoors with plants. When you’re ready, aim for short, achievable goals like a five-minute walk. You don’t need hours. Aiming for regular activity is key. ____38____ Mental health and fitness coach Gareth Jones emphasized that good planning and structure are crucial. “If you know you’re struggling with motivation, laying out all your kit — from your socks all the way up to the food you’re going to take — can be helpful,” he says. “____39____You might want to get out when you get to the front door — but if you have to go and search for your trainers because they’re lost under the stairs somewhere, you may not feel like going out at all.” Group support. Social commitments can also act as motivation for people with depression and anxiety. Having other people around us — whether that’s joining a club or committing to something with a friend—can really help. ____40____“People are very quick to post their accomplishments on social media, but what you don’t see is the build-up,” says Gareth. “It doesn’t matter where people are now in their lives, they’ve had to work to get there. And you’ll get there too.” A. A clear goal. B. A structured approach. C. However, don’t compare yourself to others. D. A disorganized life can affect your motivation. E. Therefore, doctors are encouraging people to go outdoors more. F. But time in nature isn’t the only cure for mental health problems. G. If this sounds familiar, remember even small steps can bring benefits. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Jerry was an outgoing and sociable boy.

So when I found a small house just around the corner from the school, I jumped at the chance. My mother wasn’t so sure. “Some of your pupils will probably be your neighbours,” she warned. “Your every move will be watched.” I laughed it off. What did I have to hide? But soon I realised she was right. The first weekend after I moved in, we sat outside, enjoying a simple meal, when Mum suddenly paused and tilted her head toward a bedroom window in the house behind mine. A boy’s grin was pressed to the glass. It was Thomas, the liveliest child in my class. He waved as if we were close friends. After that, the “small town effect” became impossible to ignore. One morning, still in my pyjamas (睡衣) and slippers, I rushed outside to put my bin out, only to notice Amelia standing beside me, neat in her uniform. She smiled brightly and said, “Nice pyjamas, Miss Carter.” My cheeks burned. At school, the children’s curiosity turned my private life into public entertainment. They asked about my home and my family. I began to feel as if I were living in a glass house. I tried to set boundaries, but it was easier said than done. And my Dad wasn’t exactly helpful. I returned home one afternoon to find him chatting with Thomas, who was hanging over the fence. My heart sank. I knew my whole class would soon know about my past. “I have an image to maintain!” I told Dad later. He promised to keep quiet, but I could tell he found it funny. One Saturday morning, I was at the supermarket when my phone rang. A woman’s voice spoke. “Miss Carter, this is Thomas’s mum. Your father’s had a fall in the garden, but he’s with Amelia’s mum and me now. Don’t panic — can you come home?” 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右；2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I sped home and found Dad looked after by neighbors. __________________________________________________ That evening, Dad left hospital with only a pulled muscle. __________________________________________________ 第5页/共5页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $阅读理解A A Journey Through Texas History at the Bullock Museum Welcome to the Bullock Texas State History Museum, a place where the rich story of Texas comes to life.

Some students often eat snacks in classrooms, which has a negative effect on the learning atmosphere. It happens during breaks and even in lessons. The rustling of wrappers and the smell of strongly flavored food distract nearby students, with leftover packages sometimes ending up under desks. To address this issue, I suggest setting a “no snacks in classrooms” rule while providing a snack area outside with clear signs and enough bins. Additionally, friendly reminders, together with a weekly “Clean Classroom” check, would help build awareness, strengthen self-discipline, and foster a greater sense of responsibility. Small habits shape a big environment. May we create a more pleasant learning environment together! 续写 I’d always dreamed of living close to where I worked. So when I found a small house just around the corner from the school, I jumped at the chance. My mother wasn’t so sure. “Some of your pupils will probably be your neighbours,” she warned. “Your every move will be watched.” I laughed it off. What did I have to hide? But soon I realised she was right. The first weekend after I moved in, we sat outside, enjoying a simple meal, when Mum suddenly paused and tilted her head toward a bedroom window in the house behind mine. A boy’s grin was pressed to the glass. It was Thomas, the liveliest child in my class. He waved as if we were close friends. After that, the “small town effect” became impossible to ignore. One morning, still in my pyjamas (睡衣) and slippers, I rushed outside to put my bin out, only to notice Amelia standing beside me, neat in her uniform. She smiled brightly and said, “Nice pyjamas, Miss Carter.” My cheeks burned. At school, the children’s curiosity turned my private life into public entertainment. They asked about my home and my family. I began to feel as if I were living in a glass house. I tried to set boundaries, but it was easier said than done. And my Dad wasn’t exactly helpful. I returned home one afternoon to find him chatting with Thomas, who was hanging over the fence. My heart sank. I knew my whole class would soon know about my past. “I have an image to maintain!” I told Dad later. He promised to keep quiet, but I could tell he found it funny. One Saturday morning, I was at the supermarket when my phone rang. A woman’s voice spoke. “Miss Carter, this is Thomas’s mum. Your father’s had a fall in the garden, but he’s with Amelia’s mum and me now. Don’t panic — can you come home?” 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右；2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I sped home and found Dad looked after by neighbors. ___________________ That evening, Dad left hospital with only a pulled muscle. ______________ I sped home and found Dad looked after by neighbors. Thomas’s and Amelia’s mothers were in my kitchen, calm and in control, while Dad sat pale and shaken, one hand pressed to his chest. And I quickly learnt how they had got there: Thomas and Amelia noticed Dad bending in pain in the garden and cried for help at once. “An ambulance is on its way — just to be on the safe side,” Amelia’s mother said. Seeing the two children hovering by the back door, I felt a sudden shift inside me. Their watchfulness, which had embarrassed me for weeks, had brought help when it mattered most. That evening, Dad left hospital with only a pulled muscle. On the way back, Dad mentioned how grateful he was to Thomas and Amelia. Without their quick eyes and action, the situation could have been far more serious. I thought about the past weeks — Thomas’s grin at the window, Amelia’s comment on my pyjamas, and the way I had tried so hard to set boundaries. I had been so focused on my lost privacy that I missed what was really happening. Those children weren’t spying; they were just being kids — curious, energetic, and surprisingly caring. Maybe being a bit nosy wasn’t such a bad thing after all. $
