Wanda Dench and Jamal Hinton are a pair of unlikely friends. All it took to bring them together was a couple of texts to the wrong number. Dench, a grandmother of four kids, living in Mesa, Arizona, meant to text her grandson to invite him to her 2016 Thanksgiving dinner, but she reached Hinton by mistake. 17-year-old Hinton was confused that someone named his grandma had texted him while he was in class. She sent a smiling photo of herself to him. Hinton found she wasn’t his grandma. Attracted by her smile, full of sunshine and gentle love, Hinton thought this just matched his idea of a grandmother and he then asked if he still could have a plate. “Of course you can,” she replied. “That’s what grandmas do!” The big day came very fast. With a touch of anxiety, Hinton showed up at her home to share the meal. Dench was excited about his coming. Hinton told the Dench family about his plans for the future. She spoke highly of the young man. Hinton seemed to enjoy this grandma’s cooking and hoped to be invited more. The two were fast friends. The two have remained close since sharing their first turkey dinner. They are not limited to the Thanksgiving table. Dench and her husband called Hinton to visit a pumpkin farm with them. Hinton said he became Dench’s personal tech support, helping her set up her new phone. Years later, Hinton moved into his first apartment with his wife Mikaela. Later, they had their first baby. Certainly, Dench is a great-grandmother now. Their story was reported by a local TV station. Their photos of the two with handwritten notes that marked each moment moved many people. Their Thanksgiving party gets bigger and bigger every year and their connection grows deeper. Dench said, “I just feel like my life has been enriched since he’s come into it.” 41. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Hinton and Dench’s grandsons are classmates. B. Dench and Hinton like to make friends online. C. Hinton is attracted by Dench’s Thanksgiving dinner. D. Dench looks much like the grandma’s image in Hinton’s mind. 42. Which of the following can best describe Dench and Hinton’s first meeting? A. Pleasant. B. Funny. C. Nervous. D. Inspiring. 43. How did Dench and Hinton develop their friendship after their first dinner? A. Through family dinners. B. Through living close to each other. C. Through participating in each other’s lives. D. Through modern means of communication. 44. What do Dench’s words in the last paragraph show? A. She has a healthy lifestyle. B. She is proud of her writing skills. C. She can get well along with young people. D. She feels grateful for Hinton’s friendship. 45. What is the best title for this text? A. A wrong text B. The kind strangers C. The unlikely friends D. A Thanksgiving dinner I lost my phone when I was on holiday four months ago. With no phone to use on my way back to Milan, I decided to buy a book at the airport before boarding the plane. There was a discount on Stephen Hawking’s Brief Answers to the Big Questions, and while not necessarily an easy read for the non-reader I was at the time, it touched on some of the subjects I’m most passionate about so I decided it was worth the £5.99. I paid for it. To my great surprise, I read the whole book on that two-hour return flight — and so my love for reading began. I was confused. Before then, I used to buy books fairly often, hoping I’d read them, knowing months would go by and I wouldn’t even open them. So I wondered. What was different this time? After carefully analyzing the situation, I came up with an explanation. Now I realize, most books on my reading list as a child came from one of three places: suggested books, school books, and “to read before you die” books. As a kid, I didn’t have much experience when it came to books or reading. So when I decided to pick up a book, I thought these were the ones I should read and I believed I would surely enjoy them. Then I ended up thinking of myself as someone that simply didn’t like reading. It is obvious, in hindsight (在事后看来), that I actually really enjoyed reading. The few times I got to skim through a book that felt right, I would devour the whole thing in a matter of hours. Many people approach reading in the wrong way, so they finally end up disliking it the way I did. Keep on reading books you don’t like, and you’ll eventually convince yourself it is reading you don’t like. So just make sure, you are reading books that touch on subjects you are actually passionate about — don’t be scared to create your unique bookshelf. 46. What surprised the author? A. He lost his phone. B. The book was very cheap. C. The book was easy to read. D. He finished reading the book. 47. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Explore ways to create a reading list. B. Introduce his particular taste in books. C. Explain why he used to be a non-reader. D. Analyze how children’s books are classified. 48. What books does the author advise people to read? A. Those that attract their interest. B. Those that enrich their knowledge. C. Those that are popular among readers. D. Those that are written by best-selling authors. 49. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3? A. eat greedily B. read eagerly C. run quickly D. spend unwillingly 50. What is the best title for the text? A. Learning from a great book B. How I fell in love with reading C. Creating a successful study tour D. How I developed a reading habit Have you ever had the flu (流感)? If yes, you may remember coughing, tiredness, and body aches. Other animals get the flu too — it’s caused by a virus (病毒). Many flu virus types infect different animals, and sometimes a virus can “jump” between species, called spillover. This happens because viruses change their genetic code (RNA) via mutations (突变): they get mutations when copying themselves, or by exchanging RNA with other flu viruses in the same infected animal. Tracking virus spread matters to stop outbreaks. Scientists compare viral RNA to make a “family tree” — closely related viruses sit near each other and share a source, while distant ones come from different places. In early 2024, U. S. dairy farmers noticed strange symptoms in cows: flu- like discomfort, thick yellow milk, and some even stopped producing milk. This worried experts, as bird flu had already spilled over to wild mammals like cats, foxes, and seals — so they set out to check if it had reached cows and how it spread. They studied 9 farms, collecting over 300 cow samples (样本) and testing dead wild animals found there. Lab work confirmed (确认) bird flu. They measured virus levels by extracting RNA, checked how long cows made infectious virus (testing samples 3, 16, 31days later), and analyzed (分析) data to trace spread. Results showed sick cows’ milk had the highest virus levels. Virus RNA lasted 31days, but it wasn’t infectious after day 3. The cow virus had unique mutations, different from known bird flu strains. Healthy-looking cows also carried the virus, spreading it to other farms. Some farm animals and cats were infected too — likely from drinking milk from sick cows. This is the first time bird flu was seen spreading between mammals, like from cow to cow. If it mutates further to target mammals, it could reach humans. Human expansion— building farms, towns, and cities into wild areas — makes it easier for diseases like bird flu to jump between species. But there’s good news: pasteurizing (消毒) milk kills the virus, and teamwork between farmers, vets, and researchers can slow or stop spread. 51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. make a comparison B. reach a conclusion C. present an argument D. introduce a topic 52. What can be inferred from the scientists’ action of testing samples “3, 16, 31 days later”? A. They were trying to find a cure for the infected cows. B. They needed to collect enough RNA to build a family tree. C. They were studying how the virus’s infectiousness changed over time. D. They wanted to see how long the virus could survive in the environment. 53. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A. The results of the study on the bird flu virus in cows. B. The methods used by scientists to study the bird flu virus in cows. C. The impact of the bird flu virus on different farm animals and cats. D. The reasons why healthy-looking cows carried the virus. 54. What conclusion can be drawn from Paragraph 5? A. The threat is new and serious; however, it can be managed. B. The primary solution is to stop drinking milk to avoid infection. C. Human expansion into wild areas is the only reason why bird flu spreads. D. This cow virus will finally change and make many people sick around the world. 55. What could be the best title for the passage? A. Using Genetic Trees to Track Virus Spread in Farms B. The Growing Threat of Bird Flu to Human Health C. How Milk Pasteurization keeps Our Food Safe D. Bird Flu Spillover in Dairy Cows 四、阅读表达（共10分，每小题2分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When I was in my second year in senior high school. I found a four-dollar-an-hour part-time job at Villanova Pizza. Like many of my friends, I longed to earn some pocket money from the job as well as gaining social experience. Just one week after I worked there, Stanley, the manager called me into his office. As the saying goes, “life isn’t a bed of roses”. My first job ended in failure. His reason was that I showed up late twice and took more breaks than others. “Oh, I’m a loser.” I thought to myself. I believed that thought was shared by my brothers, neither of whom had ever been fired, and my mother, though she would never express it in those terms. “I am too sad to do anything.” I complained to my father. After listening to my words, he laughed. “It’s not funny; I’m a loser.” I said. “No, you’re not. This is a part of growing up. You will be all right, my dear daughter,” he said, patting my shoulder. “Trust me. You are good enough.” I looked into my father’s eyes and I could see he really trusted me. And I believed him. Since then, “Trust me. You are good enough.” are the only words I have repeated to myself. I have worked hard to be a better person and cherished (珍惜) every chance I have got. Finally, I succeeded in entering a good university. After graduation I found my dream job. I couldn’t wait to call my father and show my gratitude. Look ahead when you experience something unpleasant and there is always someone around believing in you. When they believe in us, we begin to believe in ourselves, too. They tell us we are good enough over and over until we can hear it. 56. Why did the author do a part-time job when she was in senior high school?

Last winter, I joined a community service project aimed at helping the elderly who lived alone. The difficulty I encountered was that some of the old people were quite hard to communicate with because of their severe hearing problems. What I did was to speak louder and slower, and I also used body language, which really helped break the communication barrier. I firmly believe that youth should take on social responsibilities actively. What we do, no matter how small, can bring warmth and hope to those in need. I’m eager to know about your experiences. Could you share what volunteer work you’ve done and what you’ve learned from it? Yours, Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
