B Hua Mengli was born in 1995 in Zhenjiang,Jiangsu Province.In 2010,Hua's father rented more than 13.3 hectares of land in a village.He used the land for conventional farming.However, lack of innovation made it hard for him to run the farm.In the hope of saving her father's farm,Hua in 2013 enrolled in Jiangsu Vocational College of Agriculture and Forestry and majored in horticultural(园艺)technology. After their graduation in 2016,Hua and four like-minded friends joined her father's farm. Almost immediately,they had to deal with poor sales.After visiting various markets,they realized they had to innovate their farming techniques.They spent the next 11 months transforming the farm into an ecological circular agriculture base.The transformation was a turning point;since then,the farm has generated an output value of 32 million yuan annually. 英语第3页（共8页） As part of her farm management,Hua has focused on technological innovation and application. In 2018,some farmers'strawberry seedlings()died,which resulted in massive losses.Hua decided to identify the cause.She spent three months testing hundreds of formulas(),until she found the right culture-medium formula for strawberry seedlings.She helped the farmers avoid future losses,and she improved both strawberry yield and quality. Hua has not hesitated to share the technologies she has developed with other farmers.She organized a team to provide assistance and technical guidance to farmers.The team is composed of 49 young graduates,all of whom majored in agriculture.She has also provided technological training to more than 22,000 people,supported more than 700 farmers in growing crops and helped farmers increase their incomes by a combined 120 million yuan. When asked about her plans for the future,Hua says,"I am willing to root in the countryside, and to work in the fields.Rural areas have great potential,and agriculture will thrive.I will lead farmers and more young people to advance rural revitalization(振头).” 24.Why did Hua choose to study horticultural technology? 4.To.become an agricultural,expert. B.To run her own farm independently. C.To help manage her father's farm. D.To expand her personal knowledge. 25.What led to Hua's farm transformation? 在High farming costs. B.Low market demand. &王ack of farmere D Tough natural conditions. 26.How does the author present Hua's contribution in paragraph 4? A.By listing numbers. B By following time order. e.By describing scenes. D.By making a comparison. 27.Which of the following can best describe Hua? A Basy-going and polite. B.Honest and confident. Independent and gifted D.Generous and creative. c Blackwater lakes and rivers in the Congo Basin contain high levels of decaying plant debris( )which gives them their black color.They have high concentrations of CO2 and release large amounts of CO2 into the air.However..none of the CO2 was previously thghr originate from te basin's ancient peat（泥炭)，as thes were believed to be mghly stable protected from decomposition by their low-oxygen environment. But a new study shows a large part of the CO2 from these blackwater bodies comes from peat carbon that is 2,170 to 3,500 years old.The researchers drew their conclusions from measurements they took at blackwater lakes in 2022 and 2024.and at blackwater rivers in 2025.They accessed them with small boats.The team measured sediments(沉积物)，greenhouse gases,organic carbon and inorganic carbon.Later,in the lab,the researchers analyzed their samples with a high- accuracy method-spectrometry-to separate modern carbon from plants and older carbon from soils. The tests showed that about 40%of the inorganic carbon was thousands of years old.Microbes (are breaking down ancient peat into CO2 and methane,which then enter the water and are released into the air. The Congo Basin is estimated to hold one-third of the carbon stored in tropical peatlands globally.The release of ancient peat carbon may be a natural process to reach balance,or it may be caused by clmate change.If the region suffers from drought in the tuture,the process could speed up and turn the peatlands from carbon sinks into serious carbon sources. Next,the researchers will analyze water trapped in the Congo Basin's peat to explore the way microbes are releasing ancient carbon."Ultimately,we aim to confirm whether this process is happening across the entire basin and quantify oxidation rates to determine if this leakage is a natural baseline or a sign of instability,said Drake,the lead author of the study. 英语第4页（共8页） 8.What was the previous view about the Congo Basin's ancient peat? 'It released much Co.into the air. B.It contained high ievels of oxygen. it absorbed carbon from plants. D.It remained unchanged over time. 29.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.The process of measuring carbon in blackwater. B.The reason for ancient peat's formation. The comparison between lakes and rivers in the basin. D Phe difficulty of accessing remote blackwater bodies. 30.What is the main concern expressed in paragraph 4? A.The peatlands may become major carbon producers. B.The carbon sinks will grow constantly in size. C The carbon stored in the peatlands will disappear forever. D.The climate change will worsen the drought in the region. 31.What is the researchers'next move? To confirm the stability of the basin's peatlands. B.To find out how microbes release ancient carbon. C.To assess the age of carbon in blackwater bodies. D.To measure the amount of CO,released from peatlands D OpenAI's GPT can summarize research papers and make predictions-but can it do science? Can it generate hypotheses(假设)，design experiments,interpret results and iterate(迭代)？Last summer,researchers at OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks,a company designing autonomous,robot-run labs,deeided to find out. "Though AI systems have posted high scores in math,physics and computer science,biology is harder to measure,"says Joy Jiao,who leads life sciences research at OpenAl."For something like designing the best experiment',there's no right answer.It's what we call a hard-hard problem:it's hard to generate a solution,and it's also really hard to verify."That led the team to have AI design experiments. The team focused its experiment on cell-free protein synthesis CFPS),a technique for producing proteins witnout hving cells.Traditional biomanufacturing（生物制造)relies on genetically engineering living cells to produce medicines like insulin.CFPS makes proteins outside of cells by running the cell's own protein-making machinery in a controlled mixture."It is one of the fastest ways to make proteins,"says Joy Jiao. From OpenAI's headquarters,GPT-5 designed experiments and sent them across the country to Ginkgo Bioworks'robotic systems in Boston.As it iterated,GPT-5 analyzed incoming data and proposed new experiments,which took about an hour per cycle.In the time it would take for a human to get their coffee,sit down at their computer,log in and get all set up to work,the model could take in the data,analyze it and propose new experiments. After two months and over 36,000 tests of unique reaction compositions,the AI-driven system reduced the cost of producing the protein by about 40 percent compared with a previously reported figure from bioengineer Michael Jewett's lab at Stanford University."Honestly,it's a pretty big deal,says Jewett,director of the research."How do we develop medicines faster to provide lifesaving therapeutics()to patients sooner?I think the integration of AI and autonomous labs is one way to do that.” 32.What was the primary goal of OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks'experiment? A.To test GPT-5's summarizing ability. B.To explore if AI can do scientific tasks. C.To compare Al with human scientists. D.To see how well can AI work with man. 英语第5页（共8页） 33.What does the underlined word "verify"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Create. B.Change. C.Confirm. D.Simplify 34.What is a key characteristic of CFPS according to the text? A.It produces proteins outside cells. B.It requires engineering living cells. C.It is a traditional biomanufacturing method. D.It cuts down the time needed for data interpretation 35.What does Michael Jewett imply about the AI-driven system? A.It works the same way as a human researcher. B.It can increase the cost of research significantly. g It will replace human scientists soon. D.It can speed up drug development. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Summer is well on the way.And what is a better way to welcome the warmer weather han to start cleaning up your garden?Keen gardeners will make their way outside to plant some flowers. 36 That is star jasmine().It winl keep gardens smelling amazing all summer long and be a pretty additien to anyone's outdoor space. In addition to a rich scent,star jasmine will provide a lovely,delicate look.It's perfect for climring over trethses()and fences as a classic climber plant,which means it will grow upwards.37 Another advantage is that it's a reliable winter plant too.Its evergreen leaves provide interest and freshness in the colder seasons. 38 In this way,you can moye them around and bring them with you if needed.Remember to 're-pot every two years and refresh the soil as it eventually starts to lack nutrients.And re-potting into something a httte bigger will also mean it will carry on growing and producing more flowers. If you want to plant some star jasmine,spring is the best time as it will flower later in the season.It's important to consider sunlight and temperature as they like being in direct light and warmth.Making sure to prune()in late spring or early summer.This will help the plant regrow quickly.39 Too little water will lead to leaves turning red and falling off your plants. Once your star jasmine is established,you can make your outdoor space even more appealing by attracting birds with a simple food they love.The key to drawing robins()into your garden is simply leaving out some small,fresh apple slices.Robins naturally feed on berries and fruits from trees and bushes.40 A It can also be planted in a pot.

I work in a company that rents out social housing.Because ef the bad weather,most of us were forced to work from home.Only a few technicians were on emergency repair duty.If there was a real emergency,they would brave the white outside,though it may take them-much longer than usual to get there.And since we all care about our coworkers out in the snow,our customer service staff make sure every repair call is indeed an emergency before sending anyone out. All day long,the calls kept coming.Most callers asked about their repair appointments( )and we had to explain,"Unfortunately,the technician can't make it today.We tried to call you for rescheduling,but no one answered Luckily,most customers unaerstood and agreed to reschedule after sharing their reasons for missing the call. However,one call that day went very differently.A soft,old voice came through the phone: “My tap is leaking..” "I am so sorry to hear that,"I said gently."I can arrange a worker for you in two days,if the weather gets better by then." "Yes.:but my tap is leaking,"he repeated,slowly and quietly.He sounded like an elderly man,maybe hard of hearing.I repeated the offer,but his only response was still the same. Red flags went off in my mind.I called the work planner at once."Hey,I have a call from Greenhill Street.An elderly man with a leaky tap.No matter what I ask,he just repeats himself. So I'm worried,I said anxiously. Minutes later,the planner told me a technician was working just two streets away.She had asked him to check on the man.Then I called the man several times,but no one picked up. My worry grew heavier with every passing minute.What if something terrible had happened to him? 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左石； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Every few minutes,I checked my phone for messages from the planner.
