B When Maggie was a very young girl,she loved looking up at the stars in the sky,and she loved a British television stop-animation (series,The Clangers,about mousy-looking beings from another planet.It's debatable as to which fueled her dream of becoming a space scientist more, but one thing is for sure:the passion Maggie had for space inspired a career and helped her overcome her dyslexia(读写困难). The now celebrated space scientist,mechanical engineer,and science communicator grew up bouncing from one area of the country to another,the child of two Nigerian immigrants.Diagnosed (with dyslexia at the age of eight,Maggie faced enormous challenges in traditional learning environments.Dyslexia often made reading and writing difficult,and she was sometimes looked down upon by classmates. Despite these obstacles,her passion for science and space exploration shone through.Rather than focusing on the limitations dyslexia imposed,Maggie discovered its adyantages:her brain was good at visualization and problem-solving,enabling her to think creatively and approach challenges from unique perspectives.Her journey to success wasn't easy.After overcoming early academic struggles,she went on to earn degrees in physics and mechanical engineering.Today,she is well known for her work in space science,including the development of satellites and instruments used to explore the universe.Her contributions,to science are widely recognized,and she has become an inspiring role model for young people,particularly those facing learning difficulties. Her story is a powerful reminder that dyslexia is not a limitation but a different way of processing the world,one that can lead to extraordinary achievements.Maggie's life and career prove that facing what makes you different can turn challenges into strengths;inspiring others to see the potential in their own unique abilities. 24.What can we learn about Maggie from paragraph 1? A.She was born with a talent for space science.B.Her dyslexia stopped her path to her dream. C.Her passion for space promoted her career.D She was mainly inspired by The Clangers. 25:Which word best describes Maggie's early learning experience? A.Engaging B.Enriching. C.Relaxing. D.Demanding. 26.What did Maggie's achievements result from? A.Inner desire. B.Eamily support. C.Peer assistance. D.Social recognition. 27.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A.To present a scientist's contributions. B.To discuss the disadvantages of dyslexia C.To encourage people to face difficulties bravely. D.To highlight the importance of space exploration. C People have been trying to create glowing()plants for decades.The challenge is making the glow bright enough for our eyes to see.Last year,US biotech company Ligbt Bio launched the Firefly Petunia,the first genetically engineered glowing plant to go on sale.It claims that theplant's brightness is"similar to moonlight,"but judging from photos on social media,it's nowhere near as bright as a full moon. 6 There is a reason why this is so difficult.Plants get their energy from light,but photosynthesis ()is wildly memceht.It's estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the light that falls on them,and they need part of it to survive and grow.That leaves precious little to transform back into light. Given this fact,plants will never glow bright enough to take the place of streetlights.To solve this,a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors(瞵光体)，a type of light-storing material that glows in the dark,to adult plants,which are much more efficient than photosynthesis.The problem is getting the phosphor chemicals evenly distributed inside the leaves. But now it's tound that such distribution is easily achieved in certain plants,so brightly phosphorescent plants of various colors are created by adding phosphors into each leaf by hand. However,making plants glow by physically adding phosphors into them is considered "cheating."At the very least,the glow will become weaker if these plants survive and grow larger. There is also a potential environmental concern when the plants die and are thrown out. If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully biodegradable,it would be a different story.In fact,giving plants this ability might even boost the efficiency of photosynthesis.Being able to temporarily"store"light could help keep the light steady, transform unusable wavelengths into usable ones,and allow photosynthesis to continue into the night. One day,perhaps entire fields will glow in the dark. what makes it hard for plants to glow brightly? A.The low light-use efficiency of photosynthesis. B.Plants need most captured light to survive and grow. C.Photosynthesis transforms only part of sunlight into usable energy. D.Plants'leaves cannot store enough light 29.How do some groups improve the brightness of the plants? A.By adding phosphors into the leaves B.By using adult plants that are more efficient than seedlings. C.By manually adjusting light conditions. D.By distributing chemicals evenly inside the leaves. 30.What can we learn about phosphorescent plants from the passage? A.They need careful light management. 6 B.Their glow fade over time. C.They cancause environmental pollution. D.They are less bright than expected. 31.What's the function of the last paragraph? A.To discuss the difficulties of making plants glow. B.To explore potential future applications of glowing plants. C.To explain current experiments with glowing plants. D.To highlight environmental concerns of glowing plants. D For years,sugar has been labeled a primary cause behind the global rise in diabetes ) especially type 2 diabetes(T2D).However,groundbreaking research from Brigham Young University challenges this broad assumption.A large-scale study reveals a crucial detail:the source and form of sugar matter significantly when it comes to diabetes risk. The findings paint a contrasting picture.On one hand,sugars consumed in liquid form- specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100%fruit juice-were consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D.On the other hand,sugars naturally-present in or added to solid,nutrient-dense whole foods(such as whole fruits,dairy products,or whole grains)appeared to be far less harmful or potentially even protective. Why is there such a big difference?Researchers point to metabolism(新陈代谢).Liquid sugars from drinks act like isolated sugar floods entering the system.They eause rapid and large spikes in blood sugar,overwhelming the liver.This metabolic disruption leads to increased liver fat and insulin resistance-key factors in T2D development.Conversely,sugars added to solid foods are released much more slowly into the bloodstream.The fiber,fat,protein,and other beneficial nutrients naturally accompanying the sugar in these whole foods act as buffers,reducing the glycemic(血糖的)impact and preventing the liver from being overloaded, The study delivers a clear warning about fruit juice.Despite containing some vitamins,its high concentration of liquid sugar makes it a poor substitute for whole fruit.The vital fiber present in whole fruit,crucial for moderating blood sugar response,is largely missing in juice. "This study emphasizes the need for even stricter recommendations for liquid sugars such as those in sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice,as they appear to harmfully associate with 7 metabolic health,"said Della Corte,one of the lead researchers."Rather than criticizing all added sugars,future dietary guidelines might consider the different effects of sugar based on its source and form 32.Which form of sugar consumption brings a higher T2D risk? A.Sugar from whole grains and dairy products.B.Sugar naturally found in whole fruits. C.Sugar added to nutrient-dense solid foods. D.Sugar present in various liquid drinks. 33.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The reasons for sugar metabolism. B.The benefits of sugar metabolism. C.The differences in sugar metabolism. D.The significance of sugar metabolism. 34.To lower the risk of T2D,which practice is most likely supported by the study? A Avoiding dairy products containing sugar. B.Replacing soda drinks with whole fruits C.Increasing consumption of 100%fruit juice.D.Consuming as much fiber and fat as possible 35.What can be inferred from Della Corte's statement about future dietary guidelines? A.They should reconsider the impact of sugar on metabolism. B.They should remove fruit juice from recommendations. C.They should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to sugar. D.They should criticize sugars regardless of different effects. 第二节供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」 Changing Your Inner Voice Picture this:You've just arrived home from the grocery store and realized that you forgot to buy the main food you needed for dinner.You may feel upset and tired.And then,the voice in your head begins its comments:“It's really stupid of me.”Or“Why am I always so careless?”36 We've all been there-experiencing the inner dialogue that follows a mistake or a setback 37Negative self-talk is a normal part of being human.But if left unchecked,it can affect our mental health.Our inner voice is constantly broadeasting our thoughts,whether they're positive or negative.38On the other hand,negative self-talk exposes us to self-doubts-and fears This can eventually harm our mental health,relationships,and confidence. 39 Research shows that people who engage in this kind of behavior often experienee lower self-confiaence,higher anxiety levels,and a reduced sense of overall well-being.In addition, 8 self-criticism has been associated with.higher stress levels and an increased risk of mental health issues,such as depression.

The atmosphere was electric(微s动人心的)as the runners took their positions.The starting gun fired,and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning,his powerful strides(大步，步伐)eating up the track.He smoothly handed the baton(to Jack.Jack sprinted ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead.Then,it was Tim's turn.As Jack approached at top speed,Tim 11 reached out eagerly for the baton.But in his over-enthusiasm,he miscalculated the distance,and to his horror,the baton dropped to the ground.Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton,his heart pounding. He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward,but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams.Alex did his absolute best in the final leg,pushing himself to the limit,but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place,narrowly missing out on the medals The disappointment on the team's faces was obvious.Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders.He couldn't bring himself to look at his teammates,consumed by guilt.He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind,each time wishing he could turn back the clock.Mark,usually the most talkative,was silent,his eyes downcast.Jack shook his head in frustration,muttering()something under his breath.Alex just looked at the ground,his shoulders low.Without a word,they started walking back to the changing room,leaving Tim alone on the track,filled with self-blame. 续写要求： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly(深深地).
