A
The whole food diet for bees
Bees play an important role in world agriculture, but the past few decades have seen their populations fall alarmingly. Here is a diagram that highlights four categories of threats to bees.
What’s to blame? There is no single suspect. All the evidence points to a combination of interacting stresses. And piling on the pressure is poor nutrition. For many millions of years, bees satisfied their dietary needs by feeding from diverse flowering plants, each offering nectar (花蜜) and pollen (花粉) made to its own recipe: different types and concentrations of sugars in nectar, and in pollen, very different amounts of protein and other nutrients. But this once-extensive menu has been narrowed. Plenty of land that once offered bees a variety of nectar and pollen has been gradually replaced by brick and concrete.
Fortunately, there are already many initiatives launched — sowing wildflowers in green space and reducing grass cutting in parks and along roadsides to give wildflowers the chance to bloom. Also, thanks to so much research into the nutritional value of different sorts of pollen, such plans may soon be able to tailor seed mixes to best meet bees’ needs by providing greater diversity.
1. Which of the following prevents bees from locating food effectively?
A. Pests. B. Insect nerve toxins.
C. Herbicides. D. Single-crop farming.
2. What leads to the poor nutrition in bees?
A. The extension of their menu. B. Their worsening physical condition.
C. The decline of food sources. D. Their increasing need for protein.
3. What is the goal of the initiatives?
A. To ensure a safe environment for bees. B. To enhance the dietary options for bees.
C. To speed up the growth of wildflowers. D. To boost the nutritional value of pollen.
B
When my children were little, we went to Mexico, Switzerland, Argentina — places we adults wanted to explore, and the kids cheerfully tagged along. But when my son turned 10, he declared, “I don’t really like to travel.” It broke my heart.
My daughter caught the travel bug early. By 13, she was drawn to cafes, shops and museums in Europe. My son, however, dragged his feet at the Louvre, asking, “Can we just go back to the hotel now?” I felt crushed.
Still, I pushed for a trip to Egypt before my daughter left for college. After I promised him screen time, my son agreed. It came as no surprise he was reluctant, but what I didn’t foresee was that Egypt would be the destination that clicked.
The first sign came at the Grand Egyptian Museum. My son, who usually speed-walks through museums, stopped to read the information cards and studied exhibits. My husband and I exchanged glances, afraid acknowledging it would break the spell. At the Temple of Karnak, my son leaned forward, listening to our guide explain how 80,000 labourers built this place over 1,300 years ago. At the Valley of the Kings, we stood in Tutankhamun’s burial chamber. “He’s much smaller than I imagined,” he said. Suddenly, he was explaining hieroglyphics (象形文字) to us, and asking our guide about burial practices. My husband whispered, “I can hardly believe it.”
A visit to the Kom Ombo Temple sparked a debate between my teens about ancient Egyptian religion. That’s when I realized what had been wrong all along. I’d been dragging him through my version of travel. My son needed a hook, something that would connect to what he was curious about at that moment.
Our Egypt trip taught me that not all kids will love travel the way you do, but they might love their version of it. My daughter thrives on aesthetic (审美的) experiences. My son needs a narrative, historical context, and physical places to touch. Maybe your reluctant traveller doesn’t hate travel either. Maybe they’re just waiting for you to help them find their version of it.
4. What do the underlined words “caught the travel bug” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Was keen on travelling. B. Was tired of traveling.
C. Was focused on travelling. D. Was fearful of travelling.
5. What do we know about the author’s son on the trip to Egypt?
A. He got intellectually engaged. B. He showed no interest in exhibits.
C. He developed his imagination. D. He speed-walked through temples.
6. What is the key element of kids’ version of travel?
A. Their brave attempts. B. Their willingness to take breaks.
C. Their specific interests. D. Their eagerness to seek adventures.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. An enlightening trip. B. A journey of recovering family love.
C. A parent-child conflict. D. An introduction to Egyptian museums.
C
Claims that artificial intelligence (AI) borders on human intelligence have become commonplace. Some believe that rapid advances in large language models signal “superintelligence” will fundamentally reshape society. However, this comparison misses something essential about what human intelligence is.
Research shows that human intelligence emerges from processes like shared language, cultural communication, cooperation and progressive learning across generations. AI systems, by contrast, do not cooperate or form social bonds. They process information separately, responding to prompts without awareness, intention or accountability.
Human intelligence is also embodied (具身的). Our thinking is shaped by physical experience, emotion and social interaction, which ground abstract reasoning later in life. AI lacks this grounding. Language models learn statistical patterns from text, not meaning from lived experience. They do not understand concepts in the way humans do.
Advocates of AI progress often point to the vast amounts of data used to train modern systems. Yet this data represents a remarkably narrow slice of humanity. Around 80% of online content is produced in just ten languages, while over 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, with only a few hundred represented online. Training AI on such data set means baking in the perspectives, assumptions and biases of a relatively small portion of the world’s population. Human intelligence, by contrast, is defined by diversity. Eight billion people contribute to a shared cognitive (认知) landscape. AI does not have access to this richness, nor can it generate it independently. The data on which it is trained is based on a highly biased sample.
None of this is to deny that AI systems are powerful tools. Used carefully and with oversight, they can be socially beneficial. But usefulness is not the same as intelligence in the human sense. AI remains narrow and dependent on human input, evaluation and correction. It does not form intentions, participate in shared reasoning or contribute to the cultural processes that make human intelligence what it is.
Until machines can participate in that social, embodied and ethical dimension of cognition — and there is no evidence they can — the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence remains more promotion than insight.
8. What can be inferred about human intelligence in paragraph 2?
A. It progresses at a slow pace. B. It develops from individual learning.
C. It features collective wisdom. D. It shows more advanced ability than AI.
9. In paragraph 3, the author primarily contrasts human and AI learning in terms of ________.
A. the source of understanding B. the lessons of lived experience
C. the speed of data processing D. the concepts of abstract reasoning
10. What mainly contributes to the bias in AI training data?
A. Repeated text patterns. B. Inaccurate online content.
C. Limited language range. D. Uneven geographical coverage.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence?
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Unconcerned.
D
Think of how many surfaces you touch daily, from your work desk to the bus handrails and your phone screen. Viruses can easily spread via these surfaces. Infection typically occurs by touching a contaminated (污染的) surface — and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Now a team of researchers led by Elena Ivanova created a thin plastic surface with tiny nanoscale features, billionths of a metre in size, that copy the nanostructured surface of insect wings and can physically burst viruses the moment they land.
Current methods for preventing virus spread via surfaces usually involves cleaning and disinfection. Disinfectant must remain wet for some time to kill bacteria. This can be challenging in some real-world settings. Surfaces can also be recontaminated quickly when touched by others. And disinfection often requires harsh chemicals which can damage equipment and the environment.
Nature offers examples of bacteria-free surfaces, such as the thin water-resistant wings of dragonflies. While these wings are self-cleaning, they act less by pushing bacteria away and more as natural bacteria killers. Experiments the team did with gold-coated wings, which resemble the wings of dragonflies, confirmed this bacteria-killing effect is not driven by surface chemistry, but rather by the physical nanostructures on the surface which essentially force bacterial cell walls to stretch and burst.
In this new study, the researchers created a virus-bursting material that was lightweight and flexible: a thin plastic film covered in thousands of tiny pillars (柱子). These nanopillars grab and stretch a virus’s outer shell until it bursts, killing viruses through mechanical force.
The mould (模具) they used to create this material can be easily scaled for industrial use, from food packaging to hospital equipment and office desks. Nanostructured surfaces are built for durability. But they will degrade over time under physical, chemical, and environmental stressors. Much remains to be discovered in the search for bacteria-free surfaces. But these nanostructured surfaces have enormous potential in the fight against viruses and provide an alternative to traditional methods.
12. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. The impact of chemicals. B. The risk of recontamination.
C. The challenges of cleaning. D. The disadvantages of disinfectants.
13. What determines the bacteria-killing effect of dragonflies’ wings?
A. Their surface structure. B. Their physical composition.
C. Their exceptional thinness. D. Their water-resistant property.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about regarding the material?
A. Its key components. B. Its working principle.
C. Its potential applications. D. Its production process.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Killing Bacteria: The Role of Chemicals B. Plastic Film Stops Viruses from Sticking
C. Preventing Infection: The Magic of Nature D. Nanopillars Tear Apart Viruses on Contact
第二节 七选五(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。
Life frequently places us in contexts where people strive to outperform one another. ___16___ No one likes to lose, whether in a board game or a sports match. But why does losing hurt so much and how can it be handled better?
Picture this. You’ve just lost the final match of the football season. Your stomach drops, your tears well up and anger or disappointment takes over. ___17___ Balbir Bansi, a school counsellor in UK, says these feelings are natural. “When a lot of time and effort needs to be put in, it can be painful to lose, because it can feel like your hard work has gone to waste,” Balbir says. Other emotions such as embarrassment may also arise, especially if friends and family have come to support you.
These same emotions can surface even in casual contests between friends, like table tennis or video games. To an outsider, losing might seem inconsequential, but Balbir explains that the desire to do your best can lead to disappointment, whatever the circumstances of the defeat. ___18___ Alternatively, you may fear that losing shows you are less skilled than your opponent. This might make you doubt your abilities.
However, losing does have an upside. Many top athletes who have faced repeated defeats have mentioned that moving on is crucial, as losses make them stronger. ___19___ Balbir agrees, “we can learn as much from losing as from winning.”
When it comes to losing, the key is to use defeat to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement without becoming unnecessarily self-critical and negative. For many, losing with good grace and offering sincere congratulations to your opponent is a sign of wisdom and maturity. ___20___
A. You have to face defeat many times.
B. It can remove the uncomfortable feelings.
C. These are winning qualities in all walks of life.
D. With competition comes the possibility of losing.
E. It also feels unbearable to congratulate your opponents.
F. You may rely on winning as a way to boost your confidence.
G. Learning from those mistakes helps them improve and work harder.

Last summer, I was watering a tomato planter (花盆) when I spotted them — a bunch of newborn rabbits. Five tiny bodies gathered closely, ___21___ of the world around them. For two weeks, I watched them from a distance. At first, they stayed hidden under large leaves, their mother ___22___ occasionally. She was always ___23___, watching from the edge of the yard, a frozen figure at dusk. She never approached while I was there, but her ___24___ was a constant, staring weight. One day, a rabbit was standing on the planter’s edge, unsure whether to jump or not.
___25___, one by one, the rabbits leapt from the planter. Some ___26___ smoothly, while others fell. The last one ___27___ the longest, shaking slightly at the edge. I silently urged it on. You can do it! Then, it did.
Watching them, I realized how much we like to believe life is built on ___28___ and control. Yet many of the experiences that shape us are leaps into the ___29___. When I was younger, I thought courage meant being fearless. Now I know it means being afraid and _____30_____ anyway. The rabbits did not leap because they felt safe.

47. 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。
Emerly, an eight-year-old girl with bright eyes and big dreams, signed up for her school’s annual talent show. She wanted to dance to “Girl on Fire”, a song that made her feel brave and strong. Every day after school she practiced her moves in the living room, but something always felt missing. That was when her music teacher, Ms. Kurstin Frank, offered to help.
For two weeks, Ms. Frank stayed after class with Emerly. She clapped the rhythm, gave tips on turns, and even deliberately danced a few clumsy steps to make Emerly laugh. “You’ve got fire inside you,” she would say. “Just let it out.” On the day of the show, backstage, Emerly’s hands shook and her heart pounded like a drum. Ms. Frank knelt beside her, held her small shoulders, and whispered, “I’ll be right there in the front row. You are not alone.”
The gymnasium was packed with parents and students. When Emerly’s name was called, she walked to center stage and saw Ms. Frank smiling at her from the front row. The familiar beat began, and Emerly danced. She kept spinning (旋转) and leaping as she had practiced a hundred times. The crowd clapped along. For one shining minute, everything was perfect.
Then, without warning, the music stopped.
A terrible scream burst from the audience, followed by dead silence. Emerly froze mid-spin, her arms still raised. The hot spotlight burned down on her alone. Some kids sniggered(窃笑). Others whispered. Emerly’s face turned red, and her eyes welled up with tears. She looked around wildly, not knowing whether to run off or stand still. A heavy silence fell and seemed to last forever.
Then she saw Ms. Frank rise from her seat. The teacher walked toward the stage, her eyes locked on Emerly’s. The crowd watched, curious and quiet.

The whole food diet for bees
Bees play an important role in world agriculture, but the past few decades have seen their populations fall alarmingly. Here is a diagram that highlights four categories of threats to bees.
What’s to blame? There is no single suspect. All the evidence points to a combination of interacting stresses. And piling on the pressure is poor nutrition. For many millions of years, bees satisfied their dietary needs by feeding from diverse flowering plants, each offering nectar (花蜜) and pollen (花粉) made to its own recipe: different types and concentrations of sugars in nectar, and in pollen, very different amounts of protein and other nutrients. But this once-extensive menu has been narrowed. Plenty of land that once offered bees a variety of nectar and pollen has been gradually replaced by brick and concrete.
Fortunately, there are already many initiatives launched — sowing wildflowers in green space and reducing grass cutting in parks and along roadsides to give wildflowers the chance to bloom. Also, thanks to so much research into the nutritional value of different sorts of pollen, such plans may soon be able to tailor seed mixes to best meet bees’ needs by providing greater diversity.
1. Which of the following prevents bees from locating food effectively?
A. Pests. B. Insect nerve toxins.
C. Herbicides. D. Single-crop farming.
2. What leads to the poor nutrition in bees?
A. The extension of their menu. B. Their worsening physical condition.
C. The decline of food sources. D. Their increasing need for protein.
3. What is the goal of the initiatives?
A. To ensure a safe environment for bees. B. To enhance the dietary options for bees.
C. To speed up the growth of wildflowers. D. To boost the nutritional value of pollen.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍蜜蜂数量下降的多重诱因,重点分析食物多样性减少等营养问题,并阐述改善其饮食的相关举措。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据图表下方的“Insect nerve toxins affect ability to search for food.(昆虫神经毒素会影响蜜蜂寻找食物的能力。)”可知,影响蜜蜂有效定位食物的因素是昆虫神经毒素。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But this once-extensive menu has been narrowed. Plenty of land that once offered bees a variety of nectar and pollen has been gradually replaced by brick and concrete.(但蜜蜂曾经丰富多样的食物菜单已经缩减,大量曾为蜜蜂提供多样花蜜和花粉的土地,逐渐被砖石和混凝土取代。)”可知,食物来源减少导致蜜蜂面临营养不良的问题。

When my children were little, we went to Mexico, Switzerland, Argentina — places we adults wanted to explore, and the kids cheerfully tagged along. But when my son turned 10, he declared, “I don’t really like to travel.” It broke my heart.
My daughter caught the travel bug early. By 13, she was drawn to cafes, shops and museums in Europe. My son, however, dragged his feet at the Louvre, asking, “Can we just go back to the hotel now?” I felt crushed.
Still, I pushed for a trip to Egypt before my daughter left for college. After I promised him screen time, my son agreed. It came as no surprise he was reluctant, but what I didn’t foresee was that Egypt would be the destination that clicked.
The first sign came at the Grand Egyptian Museum. My son, who usually speed-walks through museums, stopped to read the information cards and studied exhibits. My husband and I exchanged glances, afraid acknowledging it would break the spell. At the Temple of Karnak, my son leaned forward, listening to our guide explain how 80,000 labourers built this place over 1,300 years ago. At the Valley of the Kings, we stood in Tutankhamun’s burial chamber. “He’s much smaller than I imagined,” he said. Suddenly, he was explaining hieroglyphics (象形文字) to us, and asking our guide about burial practices. My husband whispered, “I can hardly believe it.”
A visit to the Kom Ombo Temple sparked a debate between my teens about ancient Egyptian religion. That’s when I realized what had been wrong all along. I’d been dragging him through my version of travel. My son needed a hook, something that would connect to what he was curious about at that moment.
Our Egypt trip taught me that not all kids will love travel the way you do, but they might love their version of it. My daughter thrives on aesthetic (审美的) experiences. My son needs a narrative, historical context, and physical places to touch. Maybe your reluctant traveller doesn’t hate travel either. Maybe they’re just waiting for you to help them find their version of it.
4. What do the underlined words “caught the travel bug” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Was keen on travelling. B. Was tired of traveling.
C. Was focused on travelling. D. Was fearful of travelling.
5. What do we know about the author’s son on the trip to Egypt?
A. He got intellectually engaged. B. He showed no interest in exhibits.
C. He developed his imagination. D. He speed-walked through temples.
6. What is the key element of kids’ version of travel?
A. Their brave attempts. B. Their willingness to take breaks.
C. Their specific interests. D. Their eagerness to seek adventures.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. An enlightening trip. B. A journey of recovering family love.
C. A parent-child conflict. D. An introduction to Egyptian museums.

Claims that artificial intelligence (AI) borders on human intelligence have become commonplace. Some believe that rapid advances in large language models signal “superintelligence” will fundamentally reshape society. However, this comparison misses something essential about what human intelligence is.
Research shows that human intelligence emerges from processes like shared language, cultural communication, cooperation and progressive learning across generations. AI systems, by contrast, do not cooperate or form social bonds. They process information separately, responding to prompts without awareness, intention or accountability.
Human intelligence is also embodied (具身的). Our thinking is shaped by physical experience, emotion and social interaction, which ground abstract reasoning later in life. AI lacks this grounding. Language models learn statistical patterns from text, not meaning from lived experience. They do not understand concepts in the way humans do.
Advocates of AI progress often point to the vast amounts of data used to train modern systems. Yet this data represents a remarkably narrow slice of humanity. Around 80% of online content is produced in just ten languages, while over 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, with only a few hundred represented online. Training AI on such data set means baking in the perspectives, assumptions and biases of a relatively small portion of the world’s population. Human intelligence, by contrast, is defined by diversity. Eight billion people contribute to a shared cognitive (认知) landscape. AI does not have access to this richness, nor can it generate it independently. The data on which it is trained is based on a highly biased sample.
None of this is to deny that AI systems are powerful tools. Used carefully and with oversight, they can be socially beneficial. But usefulness is not the same as intelligence in the human sense. AI remains narrow and dependent on human input, evaluation and correction. It does not form intentions, participate in shared reasoning or contribute to the cultural processes that make human intelligence what it is.
Until machines can participate in that social, embodied and ethical dimension of cognition — and there is no evidence they can — the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence remains more promotion than insight.
8. What can be inferred about human intelligence in paragraph 2?
A. It progresses at a slow pace. B. It develops from individual learning.
C. It features collective wisdom. D. It shows more advanced ability than AI.
9. In paragraph 3, the author primarily contrasts human and AI learning in terms of ________.
A. the source of understanding B. the lessons of lived experience
C. the speed of data processing D. the concepts of abstract reasoning
10. What mainly contributes to the bias in AI training data?
A. Repeated text patterns. B. Inaccurate online content.
C. Limited language range. D. Uneven geographical coverage.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence?
A. Approving. B. Doubtful. C. Cautious. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要论述AI与人类智能的本质区别,质疑AI将超越人类智能的说法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Research shows that human intelligence emerges from processes like shared language, cultural communication, cooperation and progressive learning across generations.(研究表明,人类智能源于共享语言、文化交流、协作合作以及代代传承的渐进式学习等过程。)”可知,人类智能的特点是集体性的、协作性的,即具有集体智慧的特征。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Our thinking is shaped by physical experience, emotion and social interaction, which ground abstract reasoning later in life. AI lacks this grounding. Language models learn statistical patterns from text, not meaning from lived experience.(我们的思维由身体体验、情感和社会互动塑造,这些为日后的抽象推理奠定了基础。AI缺乏这种基础。语言模型从文本中学习统计规律,而非来自生活体验的意义。)”可知,作者主要从“理解的来源”角度对比了人类和AI的学习方式:人类来自生活体验,AI来自统计模式。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Around 80% of online content is produced in just ten languages, while over 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, with only a few hundred represented online.(全球约80%的在线内容仅由十种语言产出,而全世界有7000多种语言被使用,其中仅有几百种语言在网络上有呈现。)”可知,AI训练数据存在偏差的主要原因是语言覆盖范围有限。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Until machines can participate in that social, embodied and ethical dimension of cognition — and there is no evidence they can — the idea that AI will exceed human intelligence remains more promotion than insight.(在机器真正具备社会性、具象体验性与伦理层面的认知能力之前(目前尚无迹象表明机器能够做到),所谓人工智能将超越人类智能的论调,更多只是商业宣传,而非理性洞见。)”可知,作者对“AI将超越人类智能”这一说法持怀疑态度。

Think of how many surfaces you touch daily, from your work desk to the bus handrails and your phone screen. Viruses can easily spread via these surfaces. Infection typically occurs by touching a contaminated (污染的) surface — and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Now a team of researchers led by Elena Ivanova created a thin plastic surface with tiny nanoscale features, billionths of a metre in size, that copy the nanostructured surface of insect wings and can physically burst viruses the moment they land.
Current methods for preventing virus spread via surfaces usually involves cleaning and disinfection. Disinfectant must remain wet for some time to kill bacteria. This can be challenging in some real-world settings. Surfaces can also be recontaminated quickly when touched by others. And disinfection often requires harsh chemicals which can damage equipment and the environment.
Nature offers examples of bacteria-free surfaces, such as the thin water-resistant wings of dragonflies. While these wings are self-cleaning, they act less by pushing bacteria away and more as natural bacteria killers. Experiments the team did with gold-coated wings, which resemble the wings of dragonflies, confirmed this bacteria-killing effect is not driven by surface chemistry, but rather by the physical nanostructures on the surface which essentially force bacterial cell walls to stretch and burst.
In this new study, the researchers created a virus-bursting material that was lightweight and flexible: a thin plastic film covered in thousands of tiny pillars (柱子). These nanopillars grab and stretch a virus’s outer shell until it bursts, killing viruses through mechanical force.
The mould (模具) they used to create this material can be easily scaled for industrial use, from food packaging to hospital equipment and office desks. Nanostructured surfaces are built for durability. But they will degrade over time under physical, chemical, and environmental stressors. Much remains to be discovered in the search for bacteria-free surfaces. But these nanostructured surfaces have enormous potential in the fight against viruses and provide an alternative to traditional methods.
12. What does paragraph 2 focus on?
A. The impact of chemicals. B. The risk of recontamination.
C. The challenges of cleaning. D. The disadvantages of disinfectants.
13. What determines the bacteria-killing effect of dragonflies’ wings?
A. Their surface structure. B. Their physical composition.
C. Their exceptional thinness. D. Their water-resistant property.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about regarding the material?
A. Its key components. B. Its working principle.
C. Its potential applications. D. Its production process.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Killing Bacteria: The Role of Chemicals B. Plastic Film Stops Viruses from Sticking
C. Preventing Infection: The Magic of Nature D. Nanopillars Tear Apart Viruses on Contact
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D

主旨大意题。根据第二段“Current methods for preventing virus spread via surfaces usually involves cleaning and disinfection. Disinfectant must remain wet for some time to kill bacteria. This can be challenging in some real-world settings. Surfaces can also be recontaminated quickly when touched by others. And disinfection often requires harsh chemicals which can damage equipment and the environment.(目前通过物体表面预防病毒传播的常用手段,通常包括清洁与消毒。消毒剂必须在表面保持湿润一段时间,才能杀灭病菌。这在一些实际应用场景中很难做到。物体表面一旦被其他人触碰,还会很快再次受到污染。而且消毒过程往往需要使用刺激性强的化学药剂,这类药剂还会损坏设备、破坏环境。)”可知,第二段主要介绍传统消毒剂及消毒方式存在的各类弊端。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Experiments the team did with gold-coated wings, which resemble the wings of dragonflies, confirmed this bacteria-killing effect is not driven by surface chemistry, but rather by the physical nanostructures on the surface which essentially force bacterial cell walls to stretch and burst.(该团队利用仿蜻蜓翅膀结构的镀金翅片开展实验,证实这种杀菌效果并非由表面化学作用驱动,而是源自表面的物理纳米结构;这类纳米结构会从根本上迫使细菌细胞壁拉伸并破裂。)”可知,蜻蜓翅膀的杀菌效果由其表面结构决定。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“These nanopillars grab and stretch a virus’s outer shell until it bursts, killing viruses through mechanical force.(这些纳米柱会抓住并拉伸病毒外壳直至使其破裂,依靠机械力杀灭病毒。)”可知,第四段主要讲解这种新型材料杀灭病毒的工作原理。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第一段“Now a team of researchers led by Elena Ivanova created a thin plastic surface with tiny nanoscale features, billionths of a metre in size, that copy the nanostructured surface of insect wings and can physically burst viruses the moment they land.(如今,由埃琳娜·伊万诺娃带领的一组研究人员研发出一种带有微小纳米级结构的薄塑料表层,其尺寸仅为十亿分之一米;该表层复刻了昆虫翅膀的纳米结构表面,病毒一旦落在上面,就会被物理方式裂解。)”以及第四段“In this new study, the researchers created a virus-bursting material that was lightweight and flexible: a thin plastic film covered in thousands of tiny pillars (柱子). These nanopillars grab and stretch a virus’s outer shell until it bursts, killing viruses through mechanical force.(在这项新研究中,研究人员研制出一种可裂解病毒的轻质柔性材料:一种布满数千根微型柱体的塑料薄膜。这些纳米柱会抓住并拉伸病毒外壳直至使其破裂,依靠机械力杀灭病毒。)”描述纳米柱撕裂病毒外壳的原理可知,文章主要讲科研人员模仿蜻蜓翅膀纳米结构,研制出纳米柱薄膜,可通过机械力灭杀病毒,应用前景广阔。所以D项“Nanopillars Tear Apart Viruses on Contact(纳米柱接触即可撕裂病毒)”符合语境。

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。
Life frequently places us in contexts where people strive to outperform one another. ___16___ No one likes to lose, whether in a board game or a sports match. But why does losing hurt so much and how can it be handled better?
Picture this. You’ve just lost the final match of the football season. Your stomach drops, your tears well up and anger or disappointment takes over. ___17___ Balbir Bansi, a school counsellor in UK, says these feelings are natural. “When a lot of time and effort needs to be put in, it can be painful to lose, because it can feel like your hard work has gone to waste,” Balbir says. Other emotions such as embarrassment may also arise, especially if friends and family have come to support you.
These same emotions can surface even in casual contests between friends, like table tennis or video games. To an outsider, losing might seem inconsequential, but Balbir explains that the desire to do your best can lead to disappointment, whatever the circumstances of the defeat. ___18___ Alternatively, you may fear that losing shows you are less skilled than your opponent. This might make you doubt your abilities.
However, losing does have an upside. Many top athletes who have faced repeated defeats have mentioned that moving on is crucial, as losses make them stronger. ___19___ Balbir agrees, “we can learn as much from losing as from winning.”
When it comes to losing, the key is to use defeat to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement without becoming unnecessarily self-critical and negative. For many, losing with good grace and offering sincere congratulations to your opponent is a sign of wisdom and maturity. ___20___
A. You have to face defeat many times.
B. It can remove the uncomfortable feelings.
C. These are winning qualities in all walks of life.
D. With competition comes the possibility of losing.
E. It also feels unbearable to congratulate your opponents.
F. You may rely on winning as a way to boost your confidence.
G. Learning from those mistakes helps them improve and work harder.

【答案】Possible version 1
I propose transforming the unused area into a “Pocket Fitness Zone.” This space can be furnished with a steel frame equipped with pull-up and parallel bars, alongside rubber mats.
Such a fitness zone would bring multiple benefits. Firstly, it provides a convenient escape where students can relieve back pain and recharge their energy after long hours of sitting in the classroom. Additionally, by offering equipment that suits all athletic levels, it fosters a habit of regular exercise without requiring expensive facilities.
In essence, creating this fitness zone would greatly enhance our overall campus experience and promote wellness for every student.
Possible version 2
I propose converting the unused area into a mini vegetable garden. This space can be divided into several planting beds, where students can grow easy-to-care-for vegetables like cherry tomatoes, lettuce, and herbs.
A campus vegetable garden offers multiple benefits. Firstly, it provides a hands-on learning opportunity, allowing students to understand where food comes from and how plants grow. Secondly, a vegetable garden promotes healthy eating by encouraging students to consume fresh produce Moreover, tending to the garden can foster teamwork and collaboration among students, strengthening our sense of community.
In short, creating this small garden would greatly enrich our campus life and bring us closer to nature.

47. 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。
Emerly, an eight-year-old girl with bright eyes and big dreams, signed up for her school’s annual talent show. She wanted to dance to “Girl on Fire”, a song that made her feel brave and strong. Every day after school she practiced her moves in the living room, but something always felt missing. That was when her music teacher, Ms. Kurstin Frank, offered to help.
For two weeks, Ms. Frank stayed after class with Emerly. She clapped the rhythm, gave tips on turns, and even deliberately danced a few clumsy steps to make Emerly laugh. “You’ve got fire inside you,” she would say. “Just let it out.” On the day of the show, backstage, Emerly’s hands shook and her heart pounded like a drum. Ms. Frank knelt beside her, held her small shoulders, and whispered, “I’ll be right there in the front row. You are not alone.”
The gymnasium was packed with parents and students. When Emerly’s name was called, she walked to center stage and saw Ms. Frank smiling at her from the front row. The familiar beat began, and Emerly danced. She kept spinning (旋转) and leaping as she had practiced a hundred times. The crowd clapped along. For one shining minute, everything was perfect.
Then, without warning, the music stopped.
A terrible scream burst from the audience, followed by dead silence. Emerly froze mid-spin, her arms still raised. The hot spotlight burned down on her alone. Some kids sniggered(窃笑). Others whispered. Emerly’s face turned red, and her eyes welled up with tears. She looked around wildly, not knowing whether to run off or stand still. A heavy silence fell and seemed to last forever.
Then she saw Ms. Frank rise from her seat. The teacher walked toward the stage, her eyes locked on Emerly’s. The crowd watched, curious and quiet.

【答案】范文:
Ms. Frank began to sing the first line of the song. Her voice was warm and steady, cutting through the tense silence like a beacon of hope.

She spun and leapt with grace, her body responding to the rhythm that filled the gymnasium. Meanwhile, Ms. Frank joined her on stage, dancing alongside her with joy, creating a beautiful harmony of teacher and student. The spotlight no longer felt burning. Instead, it felt like a gentle embrace.
As they danced together on the stage, more and more students joined in. Their faces lit up with excitement as they rushed forward, forming a vibrant circle around Emerly and Ms. Frank. Friends began to clap along, creating an atmosphere of pure exhilaration. With each movement, Emerly felt her confidence soar, and she encouraged others to jump in, inviting them to share the joy of the moment. Laughter and smiles spread like wildfire, transforming the gymnasium into a sea of unity and celebration. In that magical instant, she realized that bravery comes not just from within but also from the people who believe in you.
