They help students develop interests, build friendships, and gain practical skills. Here are three popular clubs at Chengdu No. 1 High School. English Drama Club Founded in 2018, this club focuses on improving English through drama performances. Members meet every Wednesday afternoon to practice lines and stage skills. Each year, they put on two plays — classic works like Romeo and Juliet or children’s stories such as The Little Prince. Last year, three members won: awards in the provincial English Drama Competition. Science and Technology Club For students interested in invention, this club offers a great platform. Members work on small projects: building simple robots, designing mobile apps, or conducting environmental experiments. The club has a well-equipped lab with 3D printers and microscopes. Every summer, they take part in the national high school science innovation contest. Volunteer Club This club centers on community service. Students volunteer at local primary schools, elderly care homes, and urban parks. They help teach kids basic English, assist the elderly with daily tasks, and organize environmental clean-ups. Each semester, they hold a large-scale volunteer day that attracts over 200 participants. 1. When was the English Drama Club set up? A. In 2017. B. In 2018. C. In 2019. D. In 2020. 2. What do members of the Science and Technology Club do? A. Put on English plays. B. Teach kids science. C. Work on invention projects. D. Clean up public parks. 3. Which club organizes community service activities? A. The English Drama Club. B. The Science and Technology Club. C. The Volunteer Club. D. The Art Club. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成都第一中学的三个受欢迎的社团，包括英语戏剧社、科技社和志愿者社。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据English Drama Club部分中“Founded in 2018, this club focuses on improving English through drama performances.(该社团成立于2018年，主要通过戏剧表演来提高英语水平)”可知，英语戏剧社成立于2018年。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Science and Technology Club部分中“For students interested in invention, this club offers a great platform. Members work on small projects: building simple robots, designing mobile apps, or conducting environmental experiments.(对于对发明感兴趣的学生，这个社团提供了一个很好的平台。成员们从事一些小项目：建造简单的机器人，设计移动应用程序，或者进行环境实验)”可知，科技社的成员们从事一些发明创造类的小项目。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Volunteer Club部分中“This club centers on community service. Students volunteer at local primary schools, elderly care homes, and urban parks.(这个社团以社区服务为中心。学生在当地小学、养老院和城市公园做志愿者)”可知，志愿者社团组织社区服务活动。故选C项。 B For 15 years I read the books, took the courses and downloaded the apps to try to become a better person. Nevertheless, none of it helped. I was in my mid-20s when I fell into one of the most toxic relationships of my life. I remember buying my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed of anything. I devoured it in days and was hooked. Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self- help books, courses and apps, and tracked down every self-styled personal improvement expert in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier, more confident and more lovable. Growing up in an environment of addiction and domestic conflict made me vulnerable to the industry’s promises of self-improvement. I believed self- help authors could be the instructors I had never found. My dependency became strong after my father died in 2022. I managed to spend an enormous amount of time reading about how to grieve well instead of doing the right things: siting with my feelings, allowing myself to cry and processing the loss. My obsession (痴迷) with self-help had become toxic, and something had to give. It started to dawn on me that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. I talked with a loved one and recognized that in trying to change my life, I was trying to change things that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I had to quit self- help to learn and accept who I really was. Spending time alone, often walking, and listening to my thoughts without trying to silence or change them helped. Since I quit my self-help craze, I’ve realized that focusing all my energy on improving myself can really suck the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop me from unconditionally accepting my imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. 4. Why did the author become obsessed with self-help materials? A. To escape from her family. B. To overcome personal failures. C. To look for a way to kill time. D. To find guides to better herself. 5. What does the underlined word “hooked” mean? A. hung B. ruined C. absorbed D. cheated 6. What caused the author to quit her obsession? A. The death of her father. B. A conversation with a loved one. C. The suggestion from an instructor. D. An app on self-improvement. 7. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Embracing the true self. B. Focusing on the strengths. C. Seeking professional advice. D. Developing the positive thinking. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者痴迷于自我提升类材料，最终意识到应接纳真实自我的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses and apps, and tracked down every self-styled personal improvement expert in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier, more confident and more lovable.(在接下来的15年里，我购买了数百本自助书籍、课程和应用程序，并找到了每一位自称个人提升专家的人，希望他们能教我如何变得更快乐、更自信、更可爱。)”可知，作者痴迷于自我提升类材料是为了找到让自己变得更好的方法。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“I remember buying my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed of anything. I devoured it in days and was hooked.(我记得我买了第一本自我帮助的书，它承诺我可以治愈一切。我在几天内就看完了，并且被hooked了。)”可知，作者在几天内就看完了这本书，并且被深深吸引住了，由此可推测出hooked意为“被深深吸引住了”，与absorbed意思相近。A. hung悬挂；B. ruined毁灭；C. absorbed被吸引住；D. cheated欺骗。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“I talked with a loved one and recognized that in trying to change my life, I was trying to change things that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was.(我和一个心爱的人交谈后意识到，在试图改变我的生活时，我试图改变一些我无法控制的事情。与其关注我想成为什么样的人，我必须停止自我帮助，去学习和接受真实的自己。)”可知，与心爱的人的一次谈话让作者停止了痴迷。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Since I quit my self-help craze, I’ve realized that focusing all my energy on improving myself can really suck the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop me from unconditionally accepting my imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all.(自从不再依赖励志方法后，我意识到把所有的精力都集中在提升自己上真的会剥夺生活的乐趣。它使幸福有了条件：只有当我那样看的时候，我才能被爱。它也会阻止我无条件地接受我不完美但完美的自我。过了很久，我终于开始接受这样一个想法：也许我根本不需要修复。)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者痴迷于自我提升类材料，最终意识到应接纳真实自我的经历，因此作者想要传达的是接纳真实的自我。故选A。 C World Book Day falls on April 23rd every year, but do you know that it is also Shakespeare Day? Everybody may have heard of Shakespeare, but do you know how many plays he wrote? Shakespeare’s plays have three kinds: tragedies, comedies and histories. His most famous play is the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, which deals with two young lovers who are not allowed to marry by their parents. It was best-known to people. Other tragedies include Hamlet, Othello, and Macbethd. Shakespeare’s comedies include Much Ado About Nothing,A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night is a play about unclear identities. Two twins are shipwrecked (遭海难) and the sister, Viola, dresses up as her brother, Sebastian, who she thinks is dead. It’s funny, because the brother reappears and there’s a big love problem going on: Viola is in love with the Duke, who is in love with Olivia, who falls in love with Sebastian except that she doesn’t realize that Sebastian is actually Viola dressed up! Everybody falls in love with the wrong person, but it is all made right in the end. Some of his history plays, such as Antony and Cleopatra, Richard III and Henry V,are based on the lives of real historical people. In Antony and Cleopatra, Cleopatra becomes Antony’s girlfriend and Antony becomes so crazy about her that he loses control of the army. Cleopatra kills herself in the end and Antony kills himself too. Shakespeare’s plays can be very difficult sometimes. Some of the themes they deal with are heavy, so they almost always include a lighter subplot with characters that are not so important. They are often used in tragedies to lighten the mood of the play and to keep the audience interested in the main plot. 8. Which of the following plays is best-known to people? A. Twelfth Night. B. Antony and Cleopatra. C. Romeo and Juliet. D. Much Ado About Nothing. 9. Which is a comedy character according to the text? A. Othello. B. Sebastian. C. Antony. D. Hamlet. 10. Which of the following is wrong? A. World Book Day falls on April 23rd every year. B. There are three kinds of Shakespeare’s plays. C. Shakespeare’s plays can be very difficult sometimes. D. Real historical events can be found in every history play. 11. What is the purpose of the subplot in Shakespeare’s plays? A. To lead the development of the main plot. B. To help the audience understand the plays. C. To make the difficult plot of the plays simple. D. To relax the audience and make them follow the main theme. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了莎士比亚的悲剧、喜剧和历史剧的代表作品。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His most famous play is the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet (他最著名的戏剧是《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的悲剧故事)”可知，莎士比亚最著名的戏剧是《罗密欧与朱丽叶》，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Shakespeare’s comedies include Much Ado About Nothing,A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night is a play about unclear identities. Two twins are shipwrecked (遭海难) and the sister, Viola, dresses up as her brother, Sebastian, who she thinks is dead. (莎士比亚的喜剧包括《无事生非》、《仲夏夜之梦》和《第十二夜》。《第十二夜》是一部关于身份不明的戏剧。一对双胞胎遭遇海难，妹妹Viola打扮成她以为已经死去的哥哥Sebastian。)”可知，Sebastian是莎士比亚的喜剧《第十二夜》中的人物，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Some of his history plays,such as Antony and Cleopatra,Richard III and Henry V, are based on the lives of real historical people. (他的一些历史剧，如《安东尼与克利奥帕特拉》、《理查三世》和《亨利五世》，都是根据真实的历史人物的生活改编的。)”可知，莎士比亚一些历史剧中的人物是由真实的历史人物发展而来的，不能推出每一部历史剧都能找到真实的历史事件。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They are often used in tragedies to lighten the mood of the play and to keep the audience interested in the main plot. (它们常被用于悲剧中，以减轻戏剧的情绪，并保持观众对主要情节的兴趣)”可知，由此可知，莎士比亚戏剧中副情节的目的是让观众放松，让他们跟着主题走，故选D。 D Researchers at Columbia University have developed a new artificial intelligence(AI)method that can accurately predict gene (基因) activity in any human cell, essentially revealing the cell’s inner mechanisms (机制). Detailed in the latest issue of Nature, this system has the potential to change how scientists study cancer, genetic disorders, and other diseases. “Predictive generalizable computational models allow to reveal biological processes in a fast and accurate way. These methods can effectively conduct lots of computational experiments, boosting and guiding traditional experimental approaches,” says Raul Rabadan, senior author of the new paper. Traditional biological methods show how cells function or respond to changes, but they lack the ability to predict these processes. Recent advances in AI and massive biological data collections are making this shift possible. However, using AI to predict gene activity inside cells has been a greater challenge — until now. Rabadan’s team developed an AI model trained on gene expression data from over 1.3 million normal human cells. Unlike earlier models trained on limited data, this system uses genome sequences (基因组序列) and accessibility data to predict which genes are active in any cell. The process is similar to how language models like MindLink, an AI chat tool, work: It learns patterns from data and applies them to new situations. Testing showed the model could accurately predict gene activity in cell types it had not encountered, matching experimental results closely. The researchers applied the AI model to study pediatric leukemia, a childhood cancer caused by inherited mutations (遗传变异). The model predicted how these mutations disturb critical processes in cells, a finding later confirmed through experiments. This understanding highlights the specific mechanisms causing the disease. The AI model could also reveal unexplored regions of the genome, often linked to cancer. These “dark” regions may play key roles in disease. Already, Rabadan is working with researchers at Columbia and other universities, exploring different cancers, from brain to blood cancers, learning the grammar of regulation in normal cells, and how cells change in the process of cancer development. 12. What is a problem about traditional biological methods? A. They are difficult to combine with AI. B. They can’t predict how cells work. C. They are expensive in plenty of research. D. They can’t collect biological data effectively. 13. Why does the author mention MindLink in paragraph 4? A. To remove public doubts about AI chat tools. B. To introduce the disadvantages of AI tools. C. To explain the experimental results from Rabadan’s team. D. To clarify how the AI model functions. 14. What does paragraph 5 mainly stress about the new AI model? A. Its popularity. B. Its application value. C. Its complexity. D. Its design inspiration. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. New AI Model Exposes Secrets of Human Cells B. Scientists Unlock the Secret of Blood Cancers C. Advances in AI Fuel a Heated Debate in Biology D. AI Tools Are Widely Used to Treat Rare Diseases 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了哥伦比亚大学团队开发了一种能精准预测人类细胞基因活动的AI模型，通过分析130万细胞数据揭示细胞内部机制，并在儿科白血病研究中验证其应用潜力，为疾病研究提供新工具。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Traditional biological methods show how cells function or respond to changes, but they lack the ability to predict these processes.(传统的生物学方法能够展示细胞如何运作或应对变化，但这些方法无法预测这些过程)”可知，传统生物学方法无法预测细胞如何工作。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Unlike earlier models trained on limited data, this system uses genome sequences (基因组序列) and accessibility data to predict which genes are active in any cell. The process is similar to how language models like MindLink, an AI chat tool, work: It learns patterns from data and applies them to new situations.(与早期基于有限数据训练的模型不同，该系统利用基因信息和可及性数据来预测任何细胞中哪些基因处于活跃状态。这个过程类似于MindLink等AI聊天工具的语言模型工作原理：系统从数据中学习规律模式，并将其应用于新的场景中)”可推知，作者通过把该系统的工作过程类比为MindLink语言模型的工作原理，解释该团队的AI模型如何通过基因数据预测细胞活动。故选D项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The researchers applied the AI model to study pediatric leukemia, a childhood cancer caused by inherited mutations (遗传变异). The model predicted how these mutations disturb critical processes in cells, a finding later confirmed through experiments. This understanding highlights the specific mechanisms causing the disease. The AI model could also reveal unexplored regions of the genome, often linked to cancer. These “dark” regions may play key roles in disease.(研究人员将人工智能模型应用于研究儿童白血病，这是一种由遗传变异引起的儿童癌症。该模型预测了这些突变如何干扰细胞中的关键过程，这一发现后来通过实验得到了证实。这一认识强调了导致该疾病的具体机制。人工智能模型还可以揭示基因组中未被探索的区域，这些区域通常与癌症有关。这些“黑暗”区域可能在疾病中起关键作用)”可知，第五段重点描述该模型在儿科白血病研究中的实际应用，证明其应用于解决医学问题的价值。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Researchers at Columbia University have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) method that can accurately predict gene (基因) activity in any human cell, essentially revealing the cell’s inner mechanisms(机制).(哥伦比亚大学的研究人员开发了一种新的人工智能（AI）方法，可以准确预测任何人类细胞中的基因活动，从本质上揭示细胞的内部机制)”可知，文章围绕一种能精准预测人类细胞基因活动的AI模型展开，该模型由哥伦比亚大学团队开发，可以揭示细胞内部运作机制，具有巨大应用潜力，为疾病研究提供了新工具。因此，A项“新的AI模型揭示了人类细胞的秘密”概括这一主题，适合用作文章标题。故选A项。 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。 How to Successfully Reinvent Yourself Reinventing yourself is not about making minor changes, but about diving into a new and better version of yourself.

Jake wasn’t just my brother — he was my best friend and the one who always knew how to pull me out of my darkest moods. His absence left a huge hole in my life, and no amount of video calls or texts could fill it. Then came the news: Marco, an exchange student from Italy, would be staying in Jake’s room. “Marco? In Jake’s room?” I asked, my voice trembling. “But that’s his space.” My mom, trying to comfort me, said, “Marco’s excited to be here. You might even learn something new.” I wasn’t convinced. The idea felt like a betrayal (背叛), as if we were replacing Jake. When Marco arrived, he was nothing like I had expected. He was tall, with dark curly hair and a confident smile that seemed to light up the room. He greeted me with a cheerful “Hello!” and immediately started unpacking his things. I stood awkwardly in the doorway, watching as he transformed Jake’s room into his own space. Overwhelmed (不知所措的), I whispered a quick “Hi” and returned to my room. The first few days were tense. Marco, chatting with my parents about Naples, tried to include me, but I kept my distance. One evening, I overheard him talking about how much he missed playing soccer with his friends back home. “It’s not just a game,” he said. “It’s a way of life.” I rolled my eyes. Then, one Saturday afternoon, everything changed. My parents had to attend a wedding out of town, leaving Marco and me in the house. I busied myself with my own things in my room, trying to avoid any interaction. But around midday, Marco knocked on my door. “Hey, I’m going to play some soccer in the backyard. Want to join me?” he asked. I hesitated. Soccer had never been my thing — I was more of a basketball person. But the thought of sitting alone in my room all day didn’t sound appealing either. 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。 Finally, I followed Marco into the backyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point in my relationship with Marco. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Finally, I followed Marco into the backyard. The moment I stepped onto the grass, Marco tossed me a soccer ball with an encouraging grin. “Just try kicking it around,” he said. To my surprise, his enthusiasm was contagious. Though my first attempts were clumsy, Marco patiently showed me basic techniques, laughing when I tripped over my own feet. His lightheartedness eased my tension, and soon, I found myself actually enjoying the game. As we played, he shared stories about his hometown. For the first time, I saw Marco not as an intruder in Jake’s space, but as someone who, like me, was just trying to find his footing in a new place. That day marked a turning point in my relationship with Marco. Soccer became our shared language. We started practicing regularly, and I even taught him some basketball moves in return. Slowly, the awkwardness between us faded. One evening, while watching a game together, Marco admitted, “I was nervous about coming here too. But having you as a friend made it easier.” His honesty struck me. I realized that while no one could replace Jake, Marco had carved out his own place in our home — and in my life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因哥哥Jake离家上大学而感到孤独，直到家里迎来意大利交换生Marco。起初，作者对Marco占据哥哥的房间感到抵触，两人关系紧张。但一次偶然的足球互动打破了隔阂，他们逐渐成为朋友。最终，作者意识到，虽然Marco无法取代Jake，但他带来了新的友谊和快乐，填补了哥哥离开后的空缺。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，我跟着Marco来到后院”和第二段首句中的“转折点”可知，第一段可描写Marco认真地教作者如何踢足球，他的热情感染了作者，作者逐渐喜欢上这项运动，Marco也开始和作者分享自己的故事，两人关系变得融洽。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天是我和Marco关系的转折点”可知，第二段可描写两人开始定期踢足球，作者也教Marco打篮球，两人成为朋友，作者意识到Marco在这个家的重要位置。 2. 续写线索：两人来到后院——Marco教作者踢足球，作者享受这项运动——Marco分享故事——两人关系转变——两人定期玩耍，成为朋友——作者的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①减轻：ease/alleviate ②消失：fade/disappear ③承认：admit/acknowledge ④意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②紧张的：nervous/anxious 【点睛】[高分句型1] The moment I stepped onto the grass, Marco tossed me a soccer ball with an encouraging grin.

They help students develop interests, build friendships, and gain practical skills. Here are three popular clubs at Chengdu No. 1 High School. English Drama Club Founded in 2018, this club focuses on improving English through drama performances. Members meet every Wednesday afternoon to practice lines and stage skills. Each year, they put on two plays — classic works like Romeo and Juliet or children’s stories such as The Little Prince. Last year, three members won: awards in the provincial English Drama Competition. Science and Technology Club For students interested in invention, this club offers a great platform. Members work on small projects: building simple robots, designing mobile apps, or conducting environmental experiments. The club has a well-equipped lab with 3D printers and microscopes. Every summer, they take part in the national high school science innovation contest. Volunteer Club This club centers on community service. Students volunteer at local primary schools, elderly care homes, and urban parks. They help teach kids basic English, assist the elderly with daily tasks, and organize environmental clean-ups. Each semester, they hold a large-scale volunteer day that attracts over 200 participants. 1. When was the English Drama Club set up? A. In 2017. B. In 2018. C. In 2019. D. In 2020. 2. What do members of the Science and Technology Club do? A. Put on English plays. B. Teach kids science. C. Work on invention projects. D. Clean up public parks. 3. Which club organizes community service activities? A. The English Drama Club. B. The Science and Technology Club. C. The Volunteer Club. D. The Art Club. B For 15 years I read the books, took the courses and downloaded the apps to try to become a better person. Nevertheless, none of it helped. I was in my mid-20s when I fell into one of the most toxic relationships of my life. I remember buying my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed of anything. I devoured it in days and was hooked. Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self- help books, courses and apps, and tracked down every self-styled personal improvement expert in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier, more confident and more lovable. Growing up in an environment of addiction and domestic conflict made me vulnerable to the industry’s promises of self-improvement. I believed self- help authors could be the instructors I had never found. My dependency became strong after my father died in 2022. I managed to spend an enormous amount of time reading about how to grieve well instead of doing the right things: siting with my feelings, allowing myself to cry and processing the loss. My obsession (痴迷) with self-help had become toxic, and something had to give. It started to dawn on me that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. I talked with a loved one and recognized that in trying to change my life, I was trying to change things that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I had to quit self- help to learn and accept who I really was. Spending time alone, often walking, and listening to my thoughts without trying to silence or change them helped. Since I quit my self-help craze, I’ve realized that focusing all my energy on improving myself can really suck the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop me from unconditionally accepting my imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. 4. Why did the author become obsessed with self-help materials? A. To escape from her family. B. To overcome personal failures. C. To look for a way to kill time. D. To find guides to better herself. 5. What does the underlined word “hooked” mean? A. hung B. ruined C. absorbed D. cheated 6. What caused the author to quit her obsession? A. The death of her father. B. A conversation with a loved one. C. The suggestion from an instructor. D. An app on self-improvement. 7. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Embracing the true self. B. Focusing on the strengths. C. Seeking professional advice. D. Developing the positive thinking. C World Book Day falls on April 23rd every year, but do you know that it is also Shakespeare Day? Everybody may have heard of Shakespeare, but do you know how many plays he wrote? Shakespeare’s plays have three kinds: tragedies, comedies and histories. His most famous play is the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, which deals with two young lovers who are not allowed to marry by their parents. It was best-known to people. Other tragedies include Hamlet, Othello, and Macbethd. Shakespeare’s comedies include Much Ado About Nothing,A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night. Twelfth Night is a play about unclear identities. Two twins are shipwrecked (遭海难) and the sister, Viola, dresses up as her brother, Sebastian, who she thinks is dead. It’s funny, because the brother reappears and there’s a big love problem going on: Viola is in love with the Duke, who is in love with Olivia, who falls in love with Sebastian except that she doesn’t realize that Sebastian is actually Viola dressed up! Everybody falls in love with the wrong person, but it is all made right in the end. Some of his history plays, such as Antony and Cleopatra, Richard III and Henry V,are based on the lives of real historical people. In Antony and Cleopatra, Cleopatra becomes Antony’s girlfriend and Antony becomes so crazy about her that he loses control of the army. Cleopatra kills herself in the end and Antony kills himself too. Shakespeare’s plays can be very difficult sometimes. Some of the themes they deal with are heavy, so they almost always include a lighter subplot with characters that are not so important. They are often used in tragedies to lighten the mood of the play and to keep the audience interested in the main plot. 8. Which of the following plays is best-known to people? A. Twelfth Night. B. Antony and Cleopatra. C. Romeo and Juliet. D. Much Ado About Nothing. 9. Which is a comedy character according to the text? A. Othello. B. Sebastian. C. Antony. D. Hamlet. 10. Which of the following is wrong? A. World Book Day falls on April 23rd every year. B. There are three kinds of Shakespeare’s plays. C. Shakespeare’s plays can be very difficult sometimes. D. Real historical events can be found in every history play. 11. What is the purpose of the subplot in Shakespeare’s plays? A. To lead the development of the main plot. B. To help the audience understand the plays. C. To make the difficult plot of the plays simple. D. To relax the audience and make them follow the main theme. D Researchers at Columbia University have developed a new artificial intelligence(AI)method that can accurately predict gene (基因) activity in any human cell, essentially revealing the cell’s inner mechanisms (机制). Detailed in the latest issue of Nature, this system has the potential to change how scientists study cancer, genetic disorders, and other diseases. “Predictive generalizable computational models allow to reveal biological processes in a fast and accurate way. These methods can effectively conduct lots of computational experiments, boosting and guiding traditional experimental approaches,” says Raul Rabadan, senior author of the new paper. Traditional biological methods show how cells function or respond to changes, but they lack the ability to predict these processes. Recent advances in AI and massive biological data collections are making this shift possible. However, using AI to predict gene activity inside cells has been a greater challenge — until now. Rabadan’s team developed an AI model trained on gene expression data from over 1.3 million normal human cells. Unlike earlier models trained on limited data, this system uses genome sequences (基因组序列) and accessibility data to predict which genes are active in any cell. The process is similar to how language models like MindLink, an AI chat tool, work: It learns patterns from data and applies them to new situations. Testing showed the model could accurately predict gene activity in cell types it had not encountered, matching experimental results closely. The researchers applied the AI model to study pediatric leukemia, a childhood cancer caused by inherited mutations (遗传变异). The model predicted how these mutations disturb critical processes in cells, a finding later confirmed through experiments. This understanding highlights the specific mechanisms causing the disease. The AI model could also reveal unexplored regions of the genome, often linked to cancer. These “dark” regions may play key roles in disease.

Jake wasn’t just my brother — he was my best friend and the one who always knew how to pull me out of my darkest moods. His absence left a huge hole in my life, and no amount of video calls or texts could fill it. Then came the news: Marco, an exchange student from Italy, would be staying in Jake’s room. “Marco? In Jake’s room?” I asked, my voice trembling. “But that’s his space.” My mom, trying to comfort me, said, “Marco’s excited to be here. You might even learn something new.” I wasn’t convinced. The idea felt like a betrayal (背叛), as if we were replacing Jake. When Marco arrived, he was nothing like I had expected. He was tall, with dark curly hair and a confident smile that seemed to light up the room. He greeted me with a cheerful “Hello!” and immediately started unpacking his things. I stood awkwardly in the doorway, watching as he transformed Jake’s room into his own space. Overwhelmed (不知所措的), I whispered a quick “Hi” and returned to my room. The first few days were tense. Marco, chatting with my parents about Naples, tried to include me, but I kept my distance. One evening, I overheard him talking about how much he missed playing soccer with his friends back home. “It’s not just a game,” he said. “It’s a way of life.” I rolled my eyes. Then, one Saturday afternoon, everything changed. My parents had to attend a wedding out of town, leaving Marco and me in the house. I busied myself with my own things in my room, trying to avoid any interaction. But around midday, Marco knocked on my door. “Hey, I’m going to play some soccer in the backyard. Want to join me?” he asked. I hesitated. Soccer had never been my thing — I was more of a basketball person. But the thought of sitting alone in my room all day didn’t sound appealing either. 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。 Finally, I followed Marco into the backyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point in my relationship with Marco. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
