His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world. Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine. His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing. At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly. Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems. 4. What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine? A. His enthusiasm for machinery. B. A grand award from a competition. C. The global recognition and attention. D. The plastic waste problem in his school. 5. What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text? A. It’s user-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s energy-efficient. D. It’s high-productive. 6. Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis? A. Creative and committed. B. Kind and responsible. C. Hard-working and humble. D. Insistent and generous. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Student’s MIT Dream. B. The Development of 3D Printing. C. The Future Belonging to the Young. D. A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6.

But some other things have changed. When a pop-up (快闪) shop in Shanghai began selling drinks flavored like White Rabbit candy, people queued for up to four hours for a cup priced at 20 yuan ($2.9). China’s nostalgia (怀旧) economy has reshaped how brands are marketed. However, the White Rabbit milk tea is itself a warning tale. Once customers reached the counter after four hours, many were disappointed. “It tastes just like any regular bubble tea (珍珠奶茶) out there,” one told reporters. Another posted: “It’s just exploiting the classic brand.” The comments point to the central weakness of the nostalgia economy. When heritage is used primarily as a good pricing reason, when nostalgic packaging is the product and what is inside is ordinary, consumers notice. The disappointment runs deeper than a normal commercial letdown, because something more personal has been involved. There are more risks. When nostalgic design becomes a recipe, the symbols stop carrying weight. And a nostalgia economy that speaks only to one generation’s memories is not building a shared culture. When the pop-up closes and the limited edition sells out, what remains? If the answer is nothing but the memory of a queue, the brand has wasted its heritage rather than grown it. The question facing China’s nostalgia economy is not whether there is a market for continuity but whether the industry will serve that market with depth or exploit it with shortcuts. Some of us grew up with White Rabbit candy. Others were born too late to. But we are all looking for the same thing: a cultural identity with roots deep enough to hold, and a sense that what is being built today is worth remembering tomorrow. Nostalgia does not offer the past. It offers a reason to feel at home in the present. 8. What has changed about White Rabbit? A. Its drink price. B. Its brand marketing. C. Its candy recipe. D. Its target customers. 9. Why does the author mention the customers’ comments about the drink? A. To suggest the decline of the brand. B. To note the popularity of regular bubble tea. C. To prove the high price of the drink. D. To show the trap of nostalgia-based selling. 10. What is the author’s suggestion for China’s nostalgia economy? A. Serving the market with shortcuts. B. Focusing on one generation’s memories. C. Using the past to root today’s culture. D. Copying the past exactly as it once was. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Nostalgia marketing puts heritage at risk. B. White Rabbit candy remains unchanged. C. Nostalgia economy saves brand heritage. D. White Rabbit milk tea fails to satisfy fans. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了中国的怀旧经济，以大白兔奶茶为例，指出怀旧营销存在的问题，并给出了相关建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“White Rabbit candy has not changed in 60 years. But some other things have changed. When a pop-up (快闪) shop in Shanghai began selling drinks flavored like White Rabbit candy, people queued for up to four hours for a cup priced at 20 yuan ($2.9). China’s nostalgia (怀旧) economy has reshaped how brands are marketed.(60年来，大白兔糖果一直没有变化。但其他一些事情发生了变化。当上海一家快闪店开始出售大白兔糖果口味的饮料时，人们排了长达4个小时的队，只为买一杯售价20元（2.9美元）的饮料。中国的怀旧经济重塑了品牌的营销方式。)”可知，大白兔糖果本身没有变，但是它的品牌营销方式发生了变化。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The comments point to the central weakness of the nostalgia economy. When heritage is used primarily as a good pricing reason, when nostalgic packaging is the product and what is inside is ordinary, consumers notice.(这些评论指出了怀旧经济的核心弱点。当遗产主要被用作一个好的定价理由，当怀旧的包装就是产品，而里面是普通的东西时，消费者会注意到。)”可知，作者提到顾客对饮料的评论是为了展示基于怀旧的销售的陷阱。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But we are all looking for the same thing: a cultural identity with roots deep enough to hold, and a sense that what is being built today is worth remembering tomorrow. Nostalgia does not offer the past. It offers a reason to feel at home in the present.(但我们都在寻找同样的东西：一种有足够深厚根基的文化认同，以及一种今天所建的东西值得明天铭记的感觉。怀旧并不能提供过去。它提供了一个让我们在现在感到自在的理由。)”可知，作者对中国怀旧经济的建议是用过去来扎根今天的文化。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“China’s nostalgia (怀旧) economy has reshaped how brands are marketed.(中国的怀旧经济重塑了品牌的营销方式。)”，第三段“The comments point to the central weakness of the nostalgia economy.(这些评论指出了怀旧经济的主要弱点。)”，第四段“There are more risks. When nostalgic design becomes a recipe, the symbols stop carrying weight. And a nostalgia economy that speaks only to one generation's memories is not building a shared culture.(还有更多的风险。当怀旧设计成为一种模式时，符号就不再承载重量。而只诉诸一代人记忆的怀旧经济并不能建立一种共享的文化。)”和最后一段“The question facing China's nostalgia economy is not whether there is a market for continuity but whether the industry will serve that market with depth or exploit it with shortcuts.(中国怀旧经济面临的问题不是是否存在连续性的市场，而是该行业是否会深度服务这个市场，还是利用捷径来剥削这个市场。)”可知，本文主要讨论了中国的怀旧经济，指出怀旧营销存在的问题，即怀旧营销使遗产面临风险。故选A。 D Scientists have created a three-dimensional “heart-on-a-chip” (HOC) that could provide a breakthrough in the fight against the world’s leading cause of death, cardiovascular (心血管) disease. One major challenge is that we cannot easily test how a human heart will react to a drug or disease without putting someone at risk. This engineered heart tissue beats on its own, it releases chemicals to start muscular activity, and it responds predictably to common drugs. It’s the first to include a two-way sensing platform that provides real-time tracking of activity throughout the heart tissue down to the cellular level. In a recent paper, scientists from multiple Canadian institutions describe how they achieved this “significant advance in heart tissue engineering and drug testing.” The key advance here is the integration of sensors that can detect both large-area and small-area heart activity. Both current HOC platforms and the research team’s previous version, described in a 2024 paper, lack high-resolution cellular-level sensing. Small-area sensing is vital because many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are associated with impairment in heart muscle cells, the individual beating cells that form heart muscle tissue. As a result, measuring cellular function is critical for preventing heart failure in patients with CVDs. To build their HOCs, the researchers harvested heart muscle cells and heart connective tissue cells from lab animals. They placed these cells into a soft structure rich in fibrous proteins and nutrients to stimulate growth, and then seeded them on tiny, flexible silicon-based chips (芯片). This is a major step toward testing diseases in the lab, since cell-generated forces govern the development of heart tissues, including their formation, remodeling, contraction efficiency, wound healing, and cancer progression. Next, the researchers plan to model specific disorders by building heart tissues using cells from patients living with various heart conditions. These include a type of genetic heart muscle disease that can lead to heart failure, as well as irregular heartbeats, an umbrella of disorders that cause heart rate abnormalities. 12. How does the new HOC differ from earlier versions? A. It uses human patient cells. B. It beats with external help. C. It senses cellular heart activity. D. It uses more flexible materials. 13. What does the underlined word “impairment” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Abnormal working. B. Quick recovery. C. Natural growth. D. Regular beating. 14. What do the researchers intend to do with HOCs? A. Replace animal testing. B. Grow full hearts for patients. C. Cure DNA-based heart diseases. D. Study patient-specific heart diseases. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The New Methods to Build 3D hearts B. A Fresh Process for Heart Drug Testing C. An Innovation in Heart Tissue Engineering D. The Fight Against Cardiovascular Diseases 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了科学家们创造出的三维“心脏芯片”，该芯片在心脏组织工程和药物测试方面取得了重大进展，能够实时追踪心脏组织的活动至细胞层面。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It’s the first to include a two-way sensing platform that provides real-time tracking of activity throughout the heart tissue down to the cellular level.(这是第一个包含双向传感平台的芯片，可以实时追踪整个心脏组织直至细胞层面的活动)”以及第三段“The key advance here is the integration of sensors that can detect both large-area and small-area heart activity. Both current HOC platforms and the research team’s previous version, described in a 2024 paper, lack high-resolution cellular-level sensing.(这里的关键进展是集成了能够检测大面积和小面积心脏活动的传感器。目前的HOC平台和研究团队之前的版本，在2024年的一篇论文中有所描述，都缺乏高分辨率的细胞级传感)”可知，新型HOC与早期版本的不同之处在于它能够感知细胞层面的心脏活动。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are associated with impairment in heart muscle cells, the individual beating cells that form heart muscle tissue. (许多心血管疾病与心肌细胞的impairment有关，心肌细胞是构成心肌组织的单个跳动细胞)”和后文“As a result, measuring cellular function is critical for preventing heart failure (因此，测量细胞功能对于预防心力衰竭至关重要)”可知，心血管疾病与心肌细胞的功能异常或损伤有关。故划线词impairment意为“功能异常；损伤”，与“Abnormal working”意思相近。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Next, the researchers plan to model specific disorders by building heart tissues using cells from patients living with various heart conditions.(接下来，研究人员计划利用患有各种心脏病的患者的细胞构建心脏组织，以模拟特定的疾病)”可知，研究人员打算用HOCs研究患者特定的心脏疾病。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists have created a three-dimensional “heart-on-a-chip” (HOC) that could provide a breakthrough in the fight against the world’s leading cause of death, cardiovascular (心血管) disease.(科学家们创造了一种三维“心脏芯片”(HOC)，这可能为对抗世界主要死因——心血管疾病提供突破)”以及第二段至第五段对其功能、优势及研究计划的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了一项心脏组织工程的创新成果，故C项“An Innovation in Heart Tissue Engineering (心脏组织工程的一项创新)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For many people, Christmas can be a magical day filled with delight and indulgences (放纵). But for those down on their luck or disadvantaged, it can be a time of sorrow and disappointment. That’s why the countries of the British Commonwealth have set aside the day after Christmas as Boxing Day, and its purpose was to bring a bit of magic to those who could use it. ____16____ Every December 26, going at least as far back as 1833, the United Kingdom and other countries that are part of the British Commonwealth have observed Boxing Day as an opportunity to provide some holiday joy to those who most need it. ____17____ One is that it refers to the giving of “Christmas boxes,” a term that originated in the 17th century to describe gifts, money and other leftovers from Christmas that landowners would give to their servants and employees for having worked on Christmas Day. Basically, Christmas Boxes were holiday bonuses for the working class. The other is that it refers to the “alms boxes” that would traditionally appear in churches in the weeks leading up to Christmas. ____18____ The donations were then distributed to those in need after Christmas Day. The day after Christmas is also the feast of St. Stephen, a martyr (殉教者) known for his acts of charity. The day is still a national holiday in many parts of the British Commonwealth, and some people still give back to the less fortunate on Boxing Day. ____19____ It has now become more related to spending up big at a department store. But must it be this way? Actually, there exists a different path for this day. ____20____ Just like in classic stories, you might find your heart growing richer, even if your wallet doesn’t. A. But its original spirit is being forgotten. B. So what exactly is Boxing Day all about? C. There are competing stories behind its name. D. Consider observing your own charitable Boxing Day. E. Their purpose was to collect money from church-goers. F. Celebrate the day by enjoying time with your loved ones. G. However, many argue this isn’t the best way to help the poor. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍节礼日的设立初衷，两大名称的由来。节日原本意在帮扶弱势群体，如今传统慈善精神渐被消费取代，作者呼吁人们重拾节日慈善本心。 【16题详解】 根据上文“For many people, Christmas can be a magical day filled with delight and indulgences (放纵). But for those down on their luck or disadvantaged, it can be a time of sorrow and disappointment. That’s why the countries of the British commonwealth have set aside the day after Christmas as Boxing Day, and its purpose was to bring a bit of magic to those who could use it.(对许多人来说，圣诞节是一段充满欢乐与放纵的神奇时光。但对于那些处境艰难或处于不利地位的人们而言，圣诞节却可能是一段充满悲伤与失望的时期。因此，英联邦各国将圣诞节后的这一天定为“节礼日”，其目的是为那些需要帮助的人们带来一丝欢乐)”可知，前文介绍节礼日设立初衷是帮助弱势群体，下文开始具体介绍节礼日。故B选项“那么节礼日究竟是什么呢？”起到承上启下作用。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“One is that it refers to the giving of “Christmas boxes,” a term that originated in the 17th century to describe gifts, money and other leftovers from Christmas that landowners would give to their servants and employees for having worked on Christmas Day. Basically, Christmas Boxes were holiday bonuses for the working class.(其一，它指的是“圣诞礼盒”的赠送行为。这个术语起源于17世纪，用于描述圣诞节期间人们送出的礼物、金钱以及其他剩余物品，这些物品是地主们为了感谢仆人和员工在圣诞节期间的辛勤工作而给予他们的。简而言之，圣诞礼盒就是为工人阶级准备的节日奖金)”可知，后文并列介绍两种名称起源说法，C选项“它的名字背后有两种不同说法”总领下文，One引出其中一种说法。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The other is that it refers to the “alms boxes” that would traditionally appear in churches in the weeks leading up to Christmas.(另一种解释是，它指的是在圣诞节前几周通常会在教堂里出现的“施舍箱”)”以及后文“The donations were then distributed to those in need after Christmas Day. The day after Christmas is also the feast of St. Stephen, a martyr (殉教者) known for his acts of charity.(这些捐赠物资在圣诞节过后被分发给了那些有需要的人。圣诞节后的第二天也是圣斯蒂芬的纪念日，他是一位以乐善好施行为著称的殉道者)”可知，前文提到教堂里的“救济箱”，后文讲述捐款分给穷人。E选项“它们的作用是收集礼拜者的捐款” 承接“施舍箱”的用途。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“The day is still a national holiday in many parts of the British Commonwealth, and some people still give back to the less fortunate on Boxing Day.(在英联邦的许多地区，这一天仍被视为法定假日，而一些人也会在“节礼日”（即“圣诞补休日”）向那些生活贫困的人们伸出援手)”以及后文“It has now become more related to spending up big at a department store.(如今，它更多地与在百货商店进行大规模消费联系在了一起)”可知，前文：如今仍是假日、还有人行善；后文：变成商场大肆消费。A选项“但它最初的精神正在被遗忘”衔接转折关系。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“But must it be this way? Actually, there exists a different path for this day.(但一定要这样吗？实际上，对于这一天，存在着另一种可能的走向)”以及后文“Just like in classic stories, you might find your heart growing richer, even if your wallet doesn’t.(就像在经典故事中那样，即便你的钱包没有鼓起来，你的心灵也可能会变得更加充实)”可知，最后一段倡导回归慈善初心，前文：节礼日可以有不一样的过法；后文：心灵变得富足。D选项“试着过一个属于自己的慈善版节礼日”呼应主旨。故选D。 第二部分　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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I had mixed experiences with public speaking when I was young.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added. Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself. But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?” Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!” “Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.” Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.” The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. “There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 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。 Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible Version Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. Briana’s eyes lit up, and the two set off right away. When they arrived, Briana gasped, “This is amazing!” Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time. Golden wheat fields swayed in the breeze like a rolling ocean, fluffy sheep grazing peacefully in the sunlight. He stood there, completely captivated. Then, Briana gently nudged him. “You should draw this, Nate. It’s a perfect scene.” That was it. Nate pulled out his sketchpad immediately, his pencil dancing across the paper. As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.Once he looked closely, it really was a fascinating place. By sunset, his sketchpad was filled with lively drawings. On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. Local residents gathered around, buzzing with anticipation. Nate stood nervously among them, his heart pounding. Ms. Kim stepped onto the stage. “Every drawing captures the unique beauty of our town,” she said warmly, “but one work truly stood out.” She paused, and then announced Nate’s name. He walked up in disbelief, hands trembling as he accepted the award. The audience applauded loudly, and Briana waved at him from the crowd, beaming with pride. Nate stepped back, looking at his winning piece on the wall — a vivid scene of Grandpa’s farm bathed in golden sunlight. A warm smile spread across his face — beauty had always been there, and sometimes all it took was a pair of fresh eyes to see it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Nate在图书馆看到“第一届高地绘画比赛”的通知后，原本觉得小镇平淡无奇的他，在同学Briana的启发下，开始重新发现小镇的独特之美，并决定参加比赛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“受到启发的Nate建议他们去他爷爷的农场看看”可知，第一段可描写Nate和Briana在爷爷农场里的所见所感，以及Nate决定画农场参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖典礼那天，图书馆里挤满了人”可知，第二段可描写Nate的画获奖，以及他的获奖感言，表达他对小镇美丽的新认识。 2.续写线索：参观农场——发现农场之美——决定画农场参加比赛——颁奖典礼——Nate获奖——发表获奖感言——重新认识小镇之美 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出发：set off/depart/leave for ②到达：arrived/get to/reach ③走上舞台：step onto the stage/walk onto the stage/go up on the stage 情绪类 ①紧张：nervously/anxiously/with tension ②怀疑：disbelief/doubt/skepticism 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time.（运用了现在分词作状语以及as if引导表语从句） 【高分句型2】As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及why引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河南省普通高中2026届高三年级春期期中联考 英语试题卷 满分120分。考试时间100分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、考场号、座位号、考生号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试题卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试题卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分　阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Phantom of the Opera is composer Andrew Lloyd Webber’s award-winning musical, now playing at His Majesty’s Theatre in London.

B At 16, Benjamin Davis, a sophomore at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, has invented a revolutionary desktop system that recycles plastic bottles and 3D printing waste into high-quality 3D printing filament (塑料丝). His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world. Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine. His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing. At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly. Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems. 4. What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine? A. His enthusiasm for machinery. B. A grand award from a competition. C. The global recognition and attention. D. The plastic waste problem in his school. 5. What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text? A. It’s user-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s energy-efficient. D. It’s high-productive. 6. Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis? A. Creative and committed. B. Kind and responsible. C. Hard-working and humble. D. Insistent and generous. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Student’s MIT Dream. B. The Development of 3D Printing. C. The Future Belonging to the Young. D. A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure. C White Rabbit candy has not changed in 60 years. But some other things have changed. When a pop-up (快闪) shop in Shanghai began selling drinks flavored like White Rabbit candy, people queued for up to four hours for a cup priced at 20 yuan ($2.9). China’s nostalgia (怀旧) economy has reshaped how brands are marketed. However, the White Rabbit milk tea is itself a warning tale. Once customers reached the counter after four hours, many were disappointed. “It tastes just like any regular bubble tea (珍珠奶茶) out there,” one told reporters. Another posted: “It’s just exploiting the classic brand.” The comments point to the central weakness of the nostalgia economy. When heritage is used primarily as a good pricing reason, when nostalgic packaging is the product and what is inside is ordinary, consumers notice. The disappointment runs deeper than a normal commercial letdown, because something more personal has been involved. There are more risks. When nostalgic design becomes a recipe, the symbols stop carrying weight. And a nostalgia economy that speaks only to one generation’s memories is not building a shared culture. When the pop-up closes and the limited edition sells out, what remains? If the answer is nothing but the memory of a queue, the brand has wasted its heritage rather than grown it. The question facing China’s nostalgia economy is not whether there is a market for continuity but whether the industry will serve that market with depth or exploit it with shortcuts. Some of us grew up with White Rabbit candy. Others were born too late to. But we are all looking for the same thing: a cultural identity with roots deep enough to hold, and a sense that what is being built today is worth remembering tomorrow. Nostalgia does not offer the past. It offers a reason to feel at home in the present. 8. What has changed about White Rabbit? A. Its drink price. B. Its brand marketing. C. Its candy recipe. D. Its target customers. 9. Why does the author mention the customers’ comments about the drink? A. To suggest the decline of the brand. B. To note the popularity of regular bubble tea. C. To prove the high price of the drink. D. To show the trap of nostalgia-based selling. 10. What is the author’s suggestion for China’s nostalgia economy? A. Serving the market with shortcuts. B. Focusing on one generation’s memories. C. Using the past to root today’s culture. D. Copying the past exactly as it once was. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Nostalgia marketing puts heritage at risk. B. White Rabbit candy remains unchanged. C. Nostalgia economy saves brand heritage. D. White Rabbit milk tea fails to satisfy fans. D Scientists have created a three-dimensional “heart-on-a-chip” (HOC) that could provide a breakthrough in the fight against the world’s leading cause of death, cardiovascular (心血管) disease. One major challenge is that we cannot easily test how a human heart will react to a drug or disease without putting someone at risk. This engineered heart tissue beats on its own, it releases chemicals to start muscular activity, and it responds predictably to common drugs. It’s the first to include a two-way sensing platform that provides real-time tracking of activity throughout the heart tissue down to the cellular level. In a recent paper, scientists from multiple Canadian institutions describe how they achieved this “significant advance in heart tissue engineering and drug testing.” The key advance here is the integration of sensors that can detect both large-area and small-area heart activity. Both current HOC platforms and the research team’s previous version, described in a 2024 paper, lack high-resolution cellular-level sensing. Small-area sensing is vital because many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are associated with impairment in heart muscle cells, the individual beating cells that form heart muscle tissue. As a result, measuring cellular function is critical for preventing heart failure in patients with CVDs. To build their HOCs, the researchers harvested heart muscle cells and heart connective tissue cells from lab animals. They placed these cells into a soft structure rich in fibrous proteins and nutrients to stimulate growth, and then seeded them on tiny, flexible silicon-based chips (芯片). This is a major step toward testing diseases in the lab, since cell-generated forces govern the development of heart tissues, including their formation, remodeling, contraction efficiency, wound healing, and cancer progression. Next, the researchers plan to model specific disorders by building heart tissues using cells from patients living with various heart conditions. These include a type of genetic heart muscle disease that can lead to heart failure, as well as irregular heartbeats, an umbrella of disorders that cause heart rate abnormalities. 12. How does the new HOC differ from earlier versions? A. It uses human patient cells. B. It beats with external help. C. It senses cellular heart activity. D. It uses more flexible materials. 13. What does the underlined word “impairment” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Abnormal working. B. Quick recovery. C. Natural growth. D. Regular beating. 14. What do the researchers intend to do with HOCs? A. Replace animal testing. B. Grow full hearts for patients. C. Cure DNA-based heart diseases. D. Study patient-specific heart diseases. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The New Methods to Build 3D hearts B. A Fresh Process for Heart Drug Testing C. An Innovation in Heart Tissue Engineering D. The Fight Against Cardiovascular Diseases 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For many people, Christmas can be a magical day filled with delight and indulgences (放纵). But for those down on their luck or disadvantaged, it can be a time of sorrow and disappointment. That’s why the countries of the British Commonwealth have set aside the day after Christmas as Boxing Day, and its purpose was to bring a bit of magic to those who could use it. ____16____ Every December 26, going at least as far back as 1833, the United Kingdom and other countries that are part of the British Commonwealth have observed Boxing Day as an opportunity to provide some holiday joy to those who most need it. ____17____ One is that it refers to the giving of “Christmas boxes,” a term that originated in the 17th century to describe gifts, money and other leftovers from Christmas that landowners would give to their servants and employees for having worked on Christmas Day. Basically, Christmas Boxes were holiday bonuses for the working class. The other is that it refers to the “alms boxes” that would traditionally appear in churches in the weeks leading up to Christmas. ____18____ The donations were then distributed to those in need after Christmas Day. The day after Christmas is also the feast of St. Stephen, a martyr (殉教者) known for his acts of charity. The day is still a national holiday in many parts of the British Commonwealth, and some people still give back to the less fortunate on Boxing Day. ____19____ It has now become more related to spending up big at a department store. But must it be this way? Actually, there exists a different path for this day. ____20____ Just like in classic stories, you might find your heart growing richer, even if your wallet doesn’t. A. But its original spirit is being forgotten. B. So what exactly is Boxing Day all about? C. There are competing stories behind its name. D. Consider observing your own charitable Boxing Day. E. Their purpose was to collect money from church-goers. F. Celebrate the day by enjoying time with your loved ones. G.

Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added. Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself. But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw?” Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest? That sounds fun!” “Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.” Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.” The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold. “There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly. Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered. 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。 Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
