Daisy’s fascination with rainforests began when her teacher, Mrs. Curtis, revealed that over 80,000 plant species grow well there—more than two-thirds of Earth’s total. “If my grandma knew this, she’d fly to Brazil instantly with her gardening gloves. I am eager to be her eyes this time!” Daisy exclaimed, explaining her motivation to join a school project observing Amazon rainforest webcams (网络摄像机).
When volunteers were requested, Daisy’s hand shot up immediately. Her friend Millie joked Daisy’s eagerness surpassed her brother chasing “free money” rumors. Initially, Mrs. Curtis selected Jack Walter, but he withdrew upon learning the project required using breaktimes and lunch hours, leaving Daisy as the final choice. Though initially overlooked, Mrs. Curtis’s rejection felt like failing a math question. Daisy embraced the opportunity, confident in her ability to spot rainforest biodiversity.
Guided by keyboard arrows, Daisy navigated webcams installed 5,000 miles away, through which she explored rainforest layers, zoomed in (拉近镜头) on monkeys, and humorously searched for Bigfoot—a quest her father compared to “winning the lottery”. Scientists estimate millions of undiscovered species inhabit rainforests, and Daisy’s father encouraged her to “keep her eyes peeled”. In the end, she discovered everyday items like chocolate beans, pineapples, ginger, and rubber originating from rainforests.
Mrs. Curtis assigned Daisy to document her observations in a journal. The webcam controls amazed Daisy—technology bridging her classroom to the Amazon’s depths. Though she excelled in spelling tests, “rhinoceros” remained a challenge, a humorous reminder of her journey’s learning curve.
24. What motivated Daisy to join the project?
A. Her desire to improve her writing skills. B. The inspiration from her teacher’s introduction.
C. Her interest in winning a prize to visit Brazil. D. Her wish to share findings with her grandmother.
25. Why was Daisy finally chosen for the project?
A. She was the first to volunteer. B. The initially selected student withdrew.
C. Mrs Curtis recognized her talent. D. Her friend Millie recommended her.
26. What does “keep her eyes peeled” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Keep her eyes widely open all the time. B. Stare at the screen to avoid missing big animals.
C. Observe carefully to find something typical. D. Protect her eyes from being hurt by the screen.
27. Which of the following best describes Daisy?
A. Curious and determined. B. Generous and cautious.
C. Competitive and modest. D. Imaginative and energetic.
C
In the animal kingdom, counting skills are known to help grab bigger meals or find safety in group sizes. But clownfish may have uncovered another “value” in numbers: identification.
Despite their cute appearance, clownfish are territorial and aggressive. When they spot a member of their own species moving towards their place, they attack, biting and throwing out unwelcome visitors. There are 28 different species of clownfish, however. So how do they actually tell friends from enemies?
Depending on the species, clownfish can have anywhere from 0 to 3 white stripes. Previous research suggested the fish pay close attention to these markings. In a 2022 study, scientists found clownfish display more aggressive behavior (e.g., running after or biting others) toward fish with vertical (垂直的) stripes compared with those with horizontal (水平的) stripes.
This time around, ecologist Hayashi and colleagues assumed the fish could actually count those stripes. They placed 50 young, lab-raised common clownfish — which display the typical orange pattern like “Nemo” (a clownfish with three stripes from the film Finding Nemo) — into individual water tanks. Then, the researchers added other clownfish species, which had white stripes ranging from 0 to 3 and were protected inside a see-through case, in the original clownfish’s territory and filmed their reaction. The “native” fish couldn’t run after or bite the newcomers, but they could still rush them and stare them down. And that’s what happened when the newcomers wore the same number of stripes as the resident clownfish.
They found that the native clownfish were the hardest on members of their own species with three white stripes. Those fish were run after and bitten 10 times more than those without stripes. Attacks on those fish were two times more frequent than on single-striped ones, and 1.3 times more frequent than on double-striped ones. It turned out that the researchers’ assumption had solid evidence.
Even so, biologist Rhodes questions whether the animals are really counting or just noticing more white coloration on the attacked fish. “Maybe researchers could further clarify clownfish’s calculating ability,” adds Rhodes. “An experiment that goes beyond stripes could help. Could these fish learn, for example, to prefer two squares to three squares?”
28. What is the new “value” of counting skills found in clownfish?
A. Helping them catch larger meals.
B. Helping them find safety in group sizes.
C. Helping them recognize their own species.
D. Helping them defend their territory against other visitors.
29. What is the key difference between Hayashi’s experiment and the 2022 study?
A. The way they protected the tested clownfish. B. The aspect of clownfish’s stripes they focused on.
C. The type of aggressive behavior observed. D. The number of clownfish used in the experiment.
30. Which of the following is a Nemo-like clownfish most likely to attack?
A. A three-striped fish. B. A double-striped fish.
C. A fish with one stripe. D. A fish without stripes.
31. What does Rhodes’s suggestion imply about the current research?
A. Hayashi’s conclusion about clownfish’s counting ability is wrong.
B. Clownfish’s counting ability is limited to recognizing stripe numbers.
C. The experiment on stripes is not sufficient to prove clownfish can count.
D. Further research should concentrate on clownfish’s preference for shapes.
D
A growing body of scientific research links poor oral health, particularly chronic gum (慢性牙龈) disease, to sped-up cognitive decline and a significantly higher risk of age-related brain disorders. Recent studies reveal that maintaining healthy teeth and gums might be one of the simplest yet most overlooked ways to protect long-term brain function.
A 2025 study led by Dr. Meyer and his team at the University of South Carolina tracked 1,143 elderly participants with an average age of 77 over 15 years. Researchers first conducted thorough dental examinations to assess periodontal (牙周的) conditions, then performed brain MRI scans to measure white matter damage — a key indicator of cognitive decline. The results were striking: participants with gum disease had 2.83% of their brain volume affected by white matter lesions (病变), compared to just 2.52% in those with healthy gums. Even after adjusting for influential factors including age, diabetes and high blood pressure, those with long-term dental issues were 56% more likely to fall into the group with the most severe brain damage.
Scientists believe the connection lies in long-lasting inflammation (炎症). Harmful bacteria from infected gums enter the bloodstream, making lasting body-wide inflammation that often goes unnoticed in daily life. Over time, this silent inflammation may damage blood vessels in the brain, break the blood-brain barrier, and harm brain cells, especially in the hippocampus — an area central to memory formation. Japanese research further confirms that each problematic tooth in moderate periodontitis cases speeds up brain aging by roughly one year, and by 1.3 years in severe cases.
While these findings do not establish a direct causal relationship, they strongly suggest that regular oral care is key to protecting neurological health. Simple daily habits — regular brushing, flossing and professional dental check-ups — could act as an accessible yet powerful defense against cognitive decline, reminding people that a healthy mouth truly supports a healthy mind.
32. What does the first paragraph suggest about oral health?
A. Its role in cognitive decline is ignored. B. It frequently leads to severe brain disorders.
C. Scientists are starting to study its effects. D. Healthy teeth ensure long-term brain function.
33. What does Dr. Meyer’s study mainly find?
A. White matter lesions are specific to aging brains.
B. Gum examinations discover cognitive decline.
C. Gum disease increases brain damage risk.
D. Age is the strongest factor in cognitive decline.
34. Why does the author explain how bacteria affect the brain?
A. To explain the oral-brain link mechanism. B. To describe gum disease symptoms.
C. To introduce Japanese research findings. D. To compare inflammation types.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Gum Disease: The Leading Cause of Brain Aging
B. Oral Care: A Simple Way to Stay Healthy as You Age
C. Dental Technology: The Future of Brain Science
D. Healthy Mouth: The Key to a Healthy Mind

67. 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。
My name is Mae. I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others.
“Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project.
The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen.
“Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?”
I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said.
Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh.
Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”
“Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis.

【原文】W: Wow, I wasn’t expecting that, were you?
M: No! The weather report said it was going to be sunny all day! It was lucky you happened to have your umbrella in your bag, or we’d be wet through!
W: Oh, that reminds me… I should open it out, so it can dry.
M: You can’t open an umbrella indoors! It’s bad luck!
W: Is it?
M: Yeah! Or at least, it is where I’m from. Don’t you have that belief in your hometown?
W: No... At least, I’ve never heard of it in Japan. Why is it considered bad luck?
M: You know, I’m not sure. I was just always told not to do it! Most British houses have quite small rooms, so maybe the idea began to avoid breaking things. But then, Americans believe the same thing, and their houses are huge!

【原文】Welcome to the theater club. I’m Teresa, your new club president, and I’m excited to announce that we have chosen our autumn show. We are going to perform Liam Pierce’s The New Sky! It’s a funny, heartwarming story of a group of theater-loving women who decide to perform an all-female version of William Shakespeare’s play, while all the men are away fighting in World War II. We’ll be looking for six girls to play the female parts, ranging from young women to old ladies. There are also a couple of male parts: Alexander Ford and Joe White. The original play was set in the U.S. , but our writers decided to move the action to Australia, so we could use our own accents. There are passages of Shakespeare throughout the play, for which we’ll use British accents. Tryouts are on Friday. You’ll be asked to read a scene from the play, as well as perform a short Shakespeare speech. I hope to see you all there!

Daisy’s fascination with rainforests began when her teacher, Mrs. Curtis, revealed that over 80,000 plant species grow well there—more than two-thirds of Earth’s total. “If my grandma knew this, she’d fly to Brazil instantly with her gardening gloves. I am eager to be her eyes this time!” Daisy exclaimed, explaining her motivation to join a school project observing Amazon rainforest webcams (网络摄像机).
When volunteers were requested, Daisy’s hand shot up immediately. Her friend Millie joked Daisy’s eagerness surpassed her brother chasing “free money” rumors. Initially, Mrs. Curtis selected Jack Walter, but he withdrew upon learning the project required using breaktimes and lunch hours, leaving Daisy as the final choice. Though initially overlooked, Mrs. Curtis’s rejection felt like failing a math question. Daisy embraced the opportunity, confident in her ability to spot rainforest biodiversity.
Guided by keyboard arrows, Daisy navigated webcams installed 5,000 miles away, through which she explored rainforest layers, zoomed in (拉近镜头) on monkeys, and humorously searched for Bigfoot—a quest her father compared to “winning the lottery”. Scientists estimate millions of undiscovered species inhabit rainforests, and Daisy’s father encouraged her to “keep her eyes peeled”. In the end, she discovered everyday items like chocolate beans, pineapples, ginger, and rubber originating from rainforests.
Mrs. Curtis assigned Daisy to document her observations in a journal. The webcam controls amazed Daisy—technology bridging her classroom to the Amazon’s depths. Though she excelled in spelling tests, “rhinoceros” remained a challenge, a humorous reminder of her journey’s learning curve.
24. What motivated Daisy to join the project?
A. Her desire to improve her writing skills. B. The inspiration from her teacher’s introduction.
C. Her interest in winning a prize to visit Brazil. D. Her wish to share findings with her grandmother.
25. Why was Daisy finally chosen for the project?
A. She was the first to volunteer. B. The initially selected student withdrew.
C. Mrs Curtis recognized her talent. D. Her friend Millie recommended her.
26. What does “keep her eyes peeled” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Keep her eyes widely open all the time. B. Stare at the screen to avoid missing big animals.
C. Observe carefully to find something typical. D. Protect her eyes from being hurt by the screen.
27. Which of the following best describes Daisy?
A. Curious and determined. B. Generous and cautious.
C. Competitive and modest. D. Imaginative and energetic.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲的是黛西对雨林产生浓厚兴趣并参与学校相关项目的经历。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段““If my grandma knew this, she’d fly to Brazil instantly with her gardening gloves. I am eager to be her eyes this time!” Daisy exclaimed, explaining her motivation to join a school project observing Amazon rainforest webcams (网络摄像机).(“要是我奶奶知道这些,她肯定会立刻带上她的园艺手套飞往巴西的。这次我真想成为她的眼睛!”黛西兴奋地说道,解释了她参加学校观察亚马逊雨林网络摄像头项目的原因。)”可知,黛西参加这个项目的主要动机是想和她的奶奶分享雨林的发现。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Initially, Mrs. Curtis selected Jack Walter, but he withdrew upon learning the project required using breaktimes and lunch hours, leaving Daisy as the final choice.(起初,柯蒂斯夫人选择了杰克·沃尔特,但他得知这个项目需要利用课间休息时间和午餐时间后就退出了,于是黛西成为了最终人选。)”可知,黛西最终被选中参与这个项目是因为最初选定的那名学生后来退出了。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Scientists estimate millions of undiscovered species inhabit rainforests(科学家们估计,雨林中存在着数百万种尚未被发现的物种)”可知,雨林中存在着数百万种尚未被发现的物种,所以她的爸爸是鼓励她要留意观察,keep her eyes peeled的意思是“留意观察”,和“Observe carefully to find something typical(仔细观察,找出一些典型的东西)”意思相近。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Guided by keyboard arrows, Daisy navigated webcams installed 5,000 miles away, through which she explored rainforest layers, zoomed in (拉近镜头) on monkeys, and humorously searched for Bigfoot—a quest her father compared to “winning the lottery”.(在键盘方向键的引导下,黛西操控着安装在5000英里外的网络摄像头,借助这些摄像头,她探索着雨林的各个层次,拉近镜头观察猴子,还幽默地搜寻大脚怪——她父亲将这种搜寻比作“中彩票” 。)”可知,她在探索过程中拉近镜头看猴子、寻找大脚怪等行为可以看出她充满好奇;根据第二段“Though initially overlooked, Mrs. Curtis’s rejection felt like failing a math question. Daisy embraced the opportunity, confident in her ability to spot rainforest biodiversity.(尽管起初未被重视,柯蒂斯夫人的拒绝让黛西感觉就像数学题没答对一样难受。不过,黛西还是抓住了这个机会,她相信自己有能力发现雨林中的生物多样性。)”可知,尽管一开始被忽视,但她还是抓住机会,努力观察雨林生物,体现出她有决心,因此可用curious和determined来描述她。
C
In the animal kingdom, counting skills are known to help grab bigger meals or find safety in group sizes. But clownfish may have uncovered another “value” in numbers: identification.
Despite their cute appearance, clownfish are territorial and aggressive. When they spot a member of their own species moving towards their place, they attack, biting and throwing out unwelcome visitors. There are 28 different species of clownfish, however. So how do they actually tell friends from enemies?
Depending on the species, clownfish can have anywhere from 0 to 3 white stripes. Previous research suggested the fish pay close attention to these markings. In a 2022 study, scientists found clownfish display more aggressive behavior (e.g., running after or biting others) toward fish with vertical (垂直的) stripes compared with those with horizontal (水平的) stripes.
This time around, ecologist Hayashi and colleagues assumed the fish could actually count those stripes. They placed 50 young, lab-raised common clownfish — which display the typical orange pattern like “Nemo” (a clownfish with three stripes from the film Finding Nemo) — into individual water tanks. Then, the researchers added other clownfish species, which had white stripes ranging from 0 to 3 and were protected inside a see-through case, in the original clownfish’s territory and filmed their reaction. The “native” fish couldn’t run after or bite the newcomers, but they could still rush them and stare them down. And that’s what happened when the newcomers wore the same number of stripes as the resident clownfish.
They found that the native clownfish were the hardest on members of their own species with three white stripes. Those fish were run after and bitten 10 times more than those without stripes. Attacks on those fish were two times more frequent than on single-striped ones, and 1.3 times more frequent than on double-striped ones. It turned out that the researchers’ assumption had solid evidence.
Even so, biologist Rhodes questions whether the animals are really counting or just noticing more white coloration on the attacked fish. “Maybe researchers could further clarify clownfish’s calculating ability,” adds Rhodes. “An experiment that goes beyond stripes could help. Could these fish learn, for example, to prefer two squares to three squares?”
28. What is the new “value” of counting skills found in clownfish?
A. Helping them catch larger meals.
B. Helping them find safety in group sizes.
C. Helping them recognize their own species.
D. Helping them defend their territory against other visitors.
29. What is the key difference between Hayashi’s experiment and the 2022 study?
A. The way they protected the tested clownfish. B. The aspect of clownfish’s stripes they focused on.
C. The type of aggressive behavior observed. D. The number of clownfish used in the experiment.
30. Which of the following is a Nemo-like clownfish most likely to attack?
A. A three-striped fish. B. A double-striped fish.
C. A fish with one stripe. D. A fish without stripes.
31. What does Rhodes’s suggestion imply about the current research?
A. Hayashi’s conclusion about clownfish’s counting ability is wrong.
B. Clownfish’s counting ability is limited to recognizing stripe numbers.
C. The experiment on stripes is not sufficient to prove clownfish can count.
D. Further research should concentrate on clownfish’s preference for shapes.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家发现小丑鱼可能具有通过数条纹来识别同类的能力,但该结论仍需进一步验证。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But clownfish may have uncovered another “value” in numbers: identification.(但小丑鱼可能发现了数字的另一个“价值”:识别)”可知,小丑鱼发现数字的新“价值”是帮助它们识别自己的物种。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In a 2022 study, scientists found clownfish display more aggressive behavior (e.g., running after or biting others) toward fish with vertical (垂直的) stripes compared with those with horizontal (水平的) stripes. (在2022年的一项研究中,科学家发现,与水平条纹的鱼相比,小丑鱼对垂直条纹的鱼表现出更具攻击性的行为 (例如,追逐或咬其他鱼))”和第四段“This time around, ecologist Hayashi and colleagues assumed the fish could actually count those stripes. (这一次,生态学家Hayashi和他的同事们假设这些鱼实际上可以数这些条纹)”可知,Hayashi的实验和2022年研究的关键区别在于他们关注小丑鱼条纹的方面不同。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“They found that the native clownfish were the hardest on members of their own species with three white stripes. (他们发现,本地小丑鱼对有三条白色条纹的同种成员最为凶狠。这些鱼被追逐和咬的次数是没有条纹的鱼的10倍)”可知,像尼莫一样的小丑鱼最有可能攻击有三条条纹的鱼。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even so, biologist Rhodes questions whether the animals are really counting or just noticing more white coloration on the attacked fish. “Maybe researchers could further clarify clownfish’s calculating ability,” adds Rhodes. “An experiment that goes beyond stripes could help. Could these fish learn, for example, to prefer two squares to three squares?”(即便如此,生物学家Rhodes质疑这些动物是否真的在数数,还是只是注意到被攻击的鱼身上有更多的白色。Rhodes补充道:“也许研究人员可以进一步阐明小丑鱼的计算能力。一个超越条纹的实验可能会有所帮助。例如,这些鱼能学会更喜欢两个方块而不是三个方块吗?”)”可知,Rhodes的建议暗示目前关于条纹的实验不足以证明小丑鱼会数数。
D
A growing body of scientific research links poor oral health, particularly chronic gum (慢性牙龈) disease, to sped-up cognitive decline and a significantly higher risk of age-related brain disorders. Recent studies reveal that maintaining healthy teeth and gums might be one of the simplest yet most overlooked ways to protect long-term brain function.
A 2025 study led by Dr. Meyer and his team at the University of South Carolina tracked 1,143 elderly participants with an average age of 77 over 15 years. Researchers first conducted thorough dental examinations to assess periodontal (牙周的) conditions, then performed brain MRI scans to measure white matter damage — a key indicator of cognitive decline. The results were striking: participants with gum disease had 2.83% of their brain volume affected by white matter lesions (病变), compared to just 2.52% in those with healthy gums. Even after adjusting for influential factors including age, diabetes and high blood pressure, those with long-term dental issues were 56% more likely to fall into the group with the most severe brain damage.
Scientists believe the connection lies in long-lasting inflammation (炎症). Harmful bacteria from infected gums enter the bloodstream, making lasting body-wide inflammation that often goes unnoticed in daily life. Over time, this silent inflammation may damage blood vessels in the brain, break the blood-brain barrier, and harm brain cells, especially in the hippocampus — an area central to memory formation. Japanese research further confirms that each problematic tooth in moderate periodontitis cases speeds up brain aging by roughly one year, and by 1.3 years in severe cases.
While these findings do not establish a direct causal relationship, they strongly suggest that regular oral care is key to protecting neurological health. Simple daily habits — regular brushing, flossing and professional dental check-ups — could act as an accessible yet powerful defense against cognitive decline, reminding people that a healthy mouth truly supports a healthy mind.
32. What does the first paragraph suggest about oral health?
A. Its role in cognitive decline is ignored. B. It frequently leads to severe brain disorders.
C. Scientists are starting to study its effects. D. Healthy teeth ensure long-term brain function.
33. What does Dr. Meyer’s study mainly find?
A. White matter lesions are specific to aging brains.
B. Gum examinations discover cognitive decline.
C. Gum disease increases brain damage risk.
D. Age is the strongest factor in cognitive decline.
34. Why does the author explain how bacteria affect the brain?
A. To explain the oral-brain link mechanism. B. To describe gum disease symptoms.
C. To introduce Japanese research findings. D. To compare inflammation types.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Gum Disease: The Leading Cause of Brain Aging
B. Oral Care: A Simple Way to Stay Healthy as You Age
C. Dental Technology: The Future of Brain Science
D. Healthy Mouth: The Key to a Healthy Mind
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要探讨了口腔健康与大脑功能之间的关系,指出慢性牙龈疾病可能加速认知衰退并增加患老年脑部疾病的风险,强调了定期口腔护理对保护神经健康的重要性。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Recent studies reveal that maintaining healthy teeth and gums might be one of the simplest yet most overlooked ways to protect long-term brain function.(最近的研究表明,保持牙齿和牙龈的健康可能是保护长期大脑功能最简单却最容易被忽视的方法之一)”可知,保持牙齿和牙龈的健康是保护长期大脑功能的方法之一,但最容易被忽视,暗示了口腔健康在认知衰退中的作用被忽视了。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The results were striking: participants with gum disease had 2.83% of their brain volume affected by white matter lesions (病变), compared to just 2.52% in those with healthy gums. Even after adjusting for influential factors including age, diabetes and high blood pressure, those with long-term dental issues were 56% more likely to fall into the group with the most severe brain damage.(结果令人震惊:患有牙龈疾病的参与者的大脑体积中有2.83%受到白质病变的影响,而牙龈健康的参与者只有2.52%。即使在调整了年龄、糖尿病和高血压等影响因素后,长期有牙齿问题的人属于脑损伤最严重的群体的可能性高出56%)”可知,Dr. Meyer的研究主要发现牙龈疾病会增加大脑损伤的风险。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists believe the connection lies in long-lasting inflammation (炎症). Harmful bacteria from infected gums enter the bloodstream, making lasting body-wide inflammation that often goes unnoticed in daily life. Over time, this silent inflammation may damage blood vessels in the brain, break the blood-brain barrier, and harm brain cells, especially in the hippocampus — an area central to memory formation.(科学家认为,这种联系在于持续的炎症。受感染牙龈中的有害细菌进入血液,引起全身持续的炎症,这种炎症在日常生活中常常被忽视。随着时间的推移,这种无声的炎症可能会损害大脑中的血管,破坏血脑屏障,并损害脑细胞,尤其是海马体中的脑细胞,海马体是记忆形成的关键区域)”可知,作者解释细菌如何影响大脑也就解释了口腔和大脑之间的联系机制。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“Recent studies reveal that maintaining healthy teeth and gums might be one of the simplest yet most overlooked ways to protect long-term brain function.(最近的研究表明,保持牙齿和牙龈的健康可能是保护长期大脑功能最简单却最容易被忽视的方法之一)”和最后一段中“a healthy mouth truly supports a healthy mind (健康的口腔确实支持健康的大脑)”可知,文章主要探讨了口腔健康与大脑功能之间的关系,强调了保持口腔健康对保护大脑功能的重要性,“Healthy Mouth: The Key to a Healthy Mind(健康的口腔:健康大脑的关键)”概括了文章的主要内容,适合作为文章标题。

阅读以下短文,在空白处填入适当的内容 (1个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。
Anne Boleyn was the queen for ____56____ Henry VIII defied (违抗) the authority of the Pope, and whose marriage ended in her execution (处决). Now, her iconic portrait (肖像) ____57____ (preserve) by the National Portrait Gallery is believed to show not her own face, but that of her daughter, Elizabeth I.
A historian is convinced that the portrait integrates Boleyn’s figure with Elizabeth’s ____58____ (face) features. His proof comes from a careful ____59____ (compare) of other royal portraits: the face is strikingly similar ____60____ those in portraits of Elizabeth I, Mary I and Edward IV.
All these portraits share distinct visual features. The historian argues all of them ____61____ (paint) by the same artist in the late 16th century, when Elizabeth faced immense pressure.
“In fact,” he said, “it was an artist who placed the queen’s face on past monarchs, ____62____ (aim) to demonstrate that Elizabeth had a right to the throne.” ____63____ theory is supported by other experts. One dealer said these works originated from a workshop that created royal portrait ____64____ (shape) people’s ideas about the monarchy.
Remarkably few pictures of Boleyn survive. _____65_____ the gallery takes keen interest in the new research, it has not yet altered its official records.
【答案】56. whom

58. facial 59. comparison
60. to 61. were painted
62. aiming 63. The
64. to shape
65. Though##Although##While
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍一幅知名的安妮·博林肖像画引发新研究争议,历史学家认为画作面容实为伊丽莎白一世,并阐述该创作手法的历史背景与专家观点。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句关系代词。句意:安妮·博林是那位令亨利八世违抗教皇权威的王后,她的婚姻最终以被处决收场。此处引导定语从句,先行词为Anne Boleyn,指人,且空前有介词for,介词后指人用关系代词whom,在从句中作介词for的宾语。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如今,这幅由国家肖像馆保存的标志性肖像,被认为画中面容并非安妮本人,而是她的女儿伊丽莎白一世。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词portrait,portrait与preserve之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词preserved。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:一位历史学家确信,这幅肖像结合了博林的身形与伊丽莎白的面部特征。此处修饰名词features,需用形容词作定语,face的形容词形式为facial,意为“面部的”。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:他的依据来自对其他王室肖像的细致对比:这张脸庞与伊丽莎白一世、玛丽一世及爱德华四世肖像中的面容惊人相似。形容词careful后接名词作宾语,compare的名词形式为comparison,此处表示“一次细致的对比”,为可数名词单数,且空前有a修饰,所以用单数形式comparison。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:他的依据来自对其他王室肖像的细致对比:这张脸庞与伊丽莎白一世、玛丽一世及爱德华四世肖像中的面容惊人相似。此处为固定搭配be similar to,意为“与……相似”。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:这位历史学家认为,所有这些作品均由同一位艺术家在 16 世纪晚期创作,彼时伊丽莎白正面临巨大的压力。此处为谓语动词,主语all of them(指代前文的portraits)与paint之间为被动关系,且根据时间状语in the late 16th century可知,此处用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为复数,所以谓语动词为were painted。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他说:“事实上,是这位艺术家将女王的面容绘制在过往君主的画像上,意在证明伊丽莎白拥有王位的合法继承权。”此处为非谓语动词作状语,逻辑主语an artist与aim之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词aiming作伴随状语,表“旨在;目的是”。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这一理论得到了其他专家的支持。此处特指上文提到的那位历史学家的理论,为特指意义,所以用定冠词the,位于句首,首字母大写。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一位艺术品商人表示,这些作品出自一间工坊,该工坊创作王室肖像以塑造民众对君主制的认知。此处为非谓语动词作状语,结合句意,此处表“为了塑造”,所以用动词不定式to shape作目的状语。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意:尽管该美术馆对这项新研究高度关注,但尚未修改官方记录。此处引导状语从句,结合句意,上下文之间为让步关系,所以此处使用连词引导让步状语从句,表“尽管;虽然”,可用连词though、although或while,位于句首,首字母大写。

例文②
Last weekend, I took part in the city Science and Technology Festival, where I enjoyed various amazing robot shows featuring traditional Chinese culture.

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 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。
My name is Mae. I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others.
“Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project.
The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen.
“Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?”
I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said.
Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh.
Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.”
“Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people.
A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公Mae加入编程俱乐部,需完成一个解决实际问题的App项目。她从健忘的邻居Mrs. Thompson的需求中获得灵感,设计了一款提醒类App,最终展示项目并理解了编程的意义 —— 用科技关爱他人。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上,我坐在书桌前,笔记本打开着,思绪在脑海中飞速运转,脑海中浮现着各种细节”可知,第一段可描写作者想专门为老人设计一款“提醒App”,并描写设计过程和决心。
②由第二段首句内容“一周后,我向Davis女士展示了我的项目情况”可知,第二段可描写Davis女士对这款App的认可以及作者向Mrs. Thompson演示其使用方式,最后描写作者的感悟。
2.续写线索:明确设计理念,专为老人设计的一款“提醒App”—— 设计过程和决心 ——向Ms. Davis展示项目并获得认可 ——向Mrs. Thompson演示App的使用方法 —— 感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①决心做:decide to do/be determined to do/make up one’s mind to do
