(进阶创新课程是核心课程的拓展版本，每周增设十场专业研讨课以加速技能提升，具体安排如下。)”可知，进阶课程相比核心课程多出额外课程。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They have to take an online assessment before the programme starts; if the online assessment is unavailable, they will complete a paper-based evaluation on the first Monday of the course.(学员需在项目开始前参加线上测评；若无法开展线上测评，则于课程首个周一进行纸质测评。)”可知，申请者开课前需要参加水平测试。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“We ask parents to inform us of any food allergies (过敏), individual dietary requirements or daily medications, and an extra payment will be charged for preparing customized meals to meet specific health needs. (请家长告知孩子食物过敏情况、个人饮食禁忌及日常用药信息。定制专属健康餐食将额外收取费用。)”可知，有特殊饮食需求会产生额外花销。 B Looking back, I can still picture my senior year as a series of carefully planned steps. Every decision I made, from the classes I chose to the friends I kept, was aimed at securing a spot in a top university. I had convinced myself that if I could just control every variable, success would be certain. Little did I know that life had a completely different lesson in store for me. It happened on a rainy Tuesday afternoon when our basketball coach announced that tryouts for the final match of the season would take place the following week. For reasons I could not fully explain, something awoke inside me — a quiet voice I had silenced for years suddenly refused to be ignored any longer. What if, just for once, I did something not because it looked good on my college application, but simply because it made me feel alive? The difficult choice I found myself wrestling with was this: either I continued down the safe path I had mapped out, or I took a risk that might ruin everything I had worked so hard to build. After several sleepless nights, during which my old self argued strongly with the new one, I finally decided to go for the tryouts. The moment I stepped onto that court, surrounded by boys who had been practicing for years, I felt completely out of place. My shots missed the basket; my footwork was awkward; more than once, I wanted nothing more than to disappear into the crowd. Yet, despite all my failures, I discovered something far more valuable than any grade or award. I discovered the courage to try, the freedom to fail, and the quiet satisfaction that comes from knowing you have lived truthfully. In the end, I did not make the team. But walking off the court that day, I realized that the true sign of progress lies not in the prizes we collect, but in the challenges we dare to face and the person we become along the way. 4. What did the author use to be like according to paragraph 1? A. Kind-hearted. B. Ill-informed. C. Well-organized. D. Open-minded. 5. Why did the author decide to try out for the basketball team? A. He followed his inner desire. B. He was encouraged by the coach. C. He was sure he'd make the team. D. He wanted an impressive application. 6. How does the author feel after failing to make the team? A. Regretful. B. Calm. C. Puzzled. D. Ashamed. 7. What message does the text convey? A. Controlling variables avoids failure. B. Planning is the key to a perfect life. C. Taking risks brings positive growth. D. Practicing more leads to sure success. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述作者一心规划学业冲刺名校，后遵从内心尝试篮球选拔，虽落选却收获成长感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Looking back, I can still picture my senior year as a series of carefully planned steps.(回首过往，我依旧记得高三生活由一系列周密规划的步骤组成。)”可知，作者从前做事条理清晰、规划性极强。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For reasons I could not fully explain, something awoke inside me — a quiet voice I had silenced for years suddenly refused to be ignored any longer. (说不清缘由，心底某种意识骤然苏醒。沉寂多年的心声，此刻再也无法被刻意漠视。)”可知，作者遵从内心真实想法，决定参加篮球队选拔。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In the end, I did not make the team. But walking off the court that day, I realized that the true sign of progress lies not in the prizes we collect, but in the challenges we dare to face and the person we become along the way.(最终，我没能入选这支队伍。但那天走下赛场时，我幡然醒悟，成长的真谛不在于斩获的荣誉，而在于敢于直面挑战，以及一路蜕变后的自己。)”可知，作者落选后心态平和，领悟到别样人生道理。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“But walking off the court that day, I realized that the true sign of progress lies not in the prizes we collect, but in the challenges we dare to face and the person we become along the way(最终，我没能入选这支队伍。但那天走下赛场时，我幡然醒悟，成长的真谛不在于斩获的荣誉，而在于敢于直面挑战，以及一路蜕变后的自己。)”可知，文章表明勇敢突破、敢于冒险能够推动个人正向成长。 C CAR T-cell therapy (疗法) can be a lifesaving treatment for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. The gene therapy trains a patient’s T cells — white blood cells that play an important role in the immune (免疫) system — to fight cancer by making them produce chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) proteins. These proteins assist T cells in identifying diseased cells and removing them. But the current process involves harvesting T cells, modifying them and putting them back into a patient’s body. However, the production process is so slow that patients’ cancers can progress while they wait. The therapy is also prohibitively expensive for many people. That’s why scientists are working to engineer T cells within the body. So far, the novel practice has shown promise. To change T cells inside the body, researchers behind the two new trials relied on genetically modified viruses. They carry the genetic code for CAR proteins to patients’ immune cells. This method surmounts some challenges of CAR T-cell therapy, which are mentioned above. Researchers presented initial results of an early-phase clinical trial exploring CAR T-cell therapy that works inside the body at the American Society of Hematology annual meeting. This trial, along with another reported in July, 2025 in The Lancet, is inspiring hope that the experimental treatment can be used for certain hard-to-treat cancers, though the researchers also noted some serious side effects. “The question is no longer ‘Can you really do this?’” says Yvonne Chen, a scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles. “The question now is ‘Can you reach the level of effectiveness that’s expected and will the safety meet the target?’” Still, it’s very early. They’re only reporting on three patients, so we still have a lot more to learn. But it’s definitely an exciting development that’s beginning, at least, to offer proof of principle that it’s possible to do this with some effectiveness. 8. What is the function of CAR proteins? A. They help T cells destroy diseased cells. B. They can be transformed into T cells. C. They usually take the place of T cells. D. They recognize cancer cells by themselves. 9. Why are scientists trying to develop a new type of CAR T-cell therapy? A. To cure cancers without any side effects. B. To promote traditional cancer operation. C. To reduce dependence on white blood cells. D. To make the treatment quick and affordable. 10. What does the underlined word “surmounts” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Ignores. B. Illustrates. C. Confirms. D. Overcomes. 11. What is Yvonne Chen’s attitude towards the new therapy? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了CAR T细胞疗法能让患者的T细胞产生CAR蛋白来对抗癌症。但当前疗法存在生产慢、费用高的问题。为此科学家尝试在体内改造T细胞，新方法克服了一些挑战。虽然新疗法有希望，但有效性、安全性还有待进一步验证。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These proteins assist T cells in identifying diseased cells and removing them.(这些蛋白质有助于T细胞识别病变细胞并将其清除)”可知，CAR蛋白的作用是协助T细胞识别并消灭患病细胞。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, the production process is so slow that patients’ cancers can progress while they wait. The therapy is also prohibitively expensive for many people. That’s why scientists are working to engineer T cells within the body. So far, the novel practice has shown promise.(然而，该治疗过程十分缓慢，患者在等待期间癌症可能会继续发展。而且这种疗法对许多人来说费用过高。因此，科学家们正在尝试在体内对 T 细胞进行改造。到目前为止，这种新方法已显示出一定的成效)”可知，目前的疗法生产过程缓慢且费用高昂，科学家研发新疗法正是为了解决这两个问题，即让治疗更加快捷且负担得起。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“To change T cells inside the body, researchers behind the two new trials relied on genetically modified viruses. They carry the genetic code for CAR proteins to patients’ immune cells.(在这两项新的试验中，研究人员利用经过基因改造的病毒来改变人体内的 T 细胞。这些病毒携带着制造CAR蛋白的基因，将其注入患者的免疫细胞中)”以及第二段提到的挑战是生产慢和费用高的信息可知，这个新方法直接在体内改造T细胞，解决了这些弊端，所以该词意为“克服”，与overcome同义。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““The question is no longer ‘Can you really do this?’” says Yvonne Chen, a scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles. “The question now is ‘Can you reach the level of effectiveness that’s expected and will the safety meet the target?’”(加州大学洛杉矶分校的科学家伊冯娜·陈表示：“问题不再在于‘你真的能做到吗？’现在的问题是‘你能否达到预期的成效水平，以及安全性能否达到目标值？’”)”可知，她不再质疑新疗法的可行性，而是客观地提出了接下来需要关注的有效性和安全性问题，既不盲目乐观也未表现出怀疑或批评，态度是客观的。 D How do jackdaw chicks (寒鸦雏鸟) learn to distinguish safe bird calls from ones that mean possible coming death? In a recent study, researchers played predator (捕食者) calls paired with adult jackdaw alarm calls or the neutral adult jackdaw contact calls to 20- to 30-day-old jackdaw chicks across 39 wild nests in southwestern England. They found that listening to predator calls paired with alarm calls taught chicks to be afraid of the predator. The young birds were more alert when they heard the call again. On the other hand, the chicks that heard the predator calls paired with the contact calls did not gain this fear. “Our study shows that the young jackdaws can learn about dangers they might encounter in the future by listening to adults,” Hannah Broad, lead author of the study, said. “As they are in the nest, jackdaws are fairly safe. However, learning through trial and error after leaving the nest can be dangerous — so social learning as a chick could be highly valuable.” Broad and her team also revealed that the jackdaw chicks didn’t learn to fear a non-predatory bird call even when they paired it with alarm calls, indicating that the chicks’ learning processes focus only on understanding “biologically meaningful” links. This prevents the animals from wasting energy reacting to harmless things. To simulate (模拟) a common predator, the team used calls from the bird called the Eurasian goshawk. The non-predator calls came from the bird called the American golden plover. Importantly, the chicks hadn’t heard these calls prior to the study. “Learning to associate events that occur together by chance — for example, becoming scared of any bird call heard at the same time as alarm calls — could cause chicks to learn the wrong information,” explained Alex Thornton, a co-author. “The chicks in our study learned to fear goshawk calls due to social learning from adults, but our findings suggest natural selection processes tailor what can be socially learnt.” 12. What do the alarm calls of adult jackdaws serve as to chicks? A. Comfort calls to calm them down. B. Contact calls for fear avoidance. C. Warnings for the upcoming dangers. D. Signals to decrease watchfulness. 13. What is special about the chicks’ social learning? A. It is time-consuming. B. It is selective. C. It is energy-wasting. D. It is trial-and-error-based. 14. What does Alex want to express about chicks? A. Their disbelief results from chance events. B. They can understand all accidental calls. C. Their learning content is shaped by nature. D. They learn fear calls faster than other calls. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Jackdaw Chicks Identify Dangers Early B. Unpaired Alarms Scare Jackdaw Chicks C. Predator Calls Teach Jackdaw Chicks Well D. Experience Matters Most for Bird Survival 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一项关于寒鸦雏鸟如何通过成年鸟的警报声学习识别天敌叫声的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They found that listening to predator calls paired with alarm calls taught chicks to be afraid of the predator.(他们发现，听到捕食者叫声与警报叫声配对播放时，雏鸟学会了害怕捕食者)”可知，成年寒鸦的警报叫声对雏鸟来说是预示即将发生危险的警告。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Broad and her team also revealed that the jackdaw chicks didn’t learn to fear a non-predatory bird call even when they paired it with alarm calls, indicating that the chicks’ learning processes focus only on understanding “biologically meaningful” links. This prevents the animals from wasting energy reacting to harmless things.(Broad和她的团队还发现，即使将非捕食性鸟类的叫声与警报叫声配对，雏鸟也没有学会害怕，这表明雏鸟的学习过程只关注理解“具有生物学意义的”联系。这能避免这些动物因对无害事物做出反应而浪费能量)”可知，雏鸟的社会学习是有选择性的，只学习与生存真正相关的信息。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The chicks in our study learned to fear goshawk calls due to social learning from adults, but our findings suggest natural selection processes tailor what can be socially learnt.(我们研究中的雏鸟通过向成年鸟进行社会学习，学会了害怕苍鹰的叫声，但我们的发现表明，自然选择过程塑造了哪些内容可以通过社会学习获得)”可知，Alex想表达的是雏鸟的学习内容是由自然选择塑造的。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，以及第二段的“They found that listening to predator calls paired with alarm calls taught chicks to be afraid of the predator. The young birds were more alert when they heard the call again. On the other hand, the chicks that heard the predator calls paired with the contact calls did not gain this fear.(他们发现，听捕食者的叫声和警报声会让雏鸟害怕捕食者。小鸟们再次听到叫声时更加警觉了。另一方面，听到捕食者叫声和接触叫声的雏鸟并没有产生这种恐惧)”可知，文章主要讲述了寒鸦雏鸟通过聆听成年鸟的警报声，在幼年期就学会识别捕食者的危险，避免离巢后通过试错学习带来的危险。A选项“寒鸦雏鸟早期识别危险”最能概括全文主旨。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many artists consider busking (街头表演) to be one of the easiest ways to share their talent with audiences while making a living at the same time. The number of buskers is incredibly difficult to establish since most of them don’t have an official permit. ____16____ On the one hand, busking is seen as a form of street entertainment or public performance. On the other hand, it is considered a form of begging, and is, therefore, legally and culturally unacceptable in many parts of the world. ____17____ In many cases, all you need to get into the busking scene is an instrument and a container to collect donations from passers-by. ____18____ The answer usually depends on where you are. In many places like Birmingham and Venice, busking can lead to arrest, or fee payments. However, there are many places where busking is an everyday practice like London, Dublin, Berlin and Marrakesh. To guarantee a safe busking experience, buskers should obey some basic rules. It’s crucial to dress well to make it clear that you are a performer, not a beggar. ____19____ You must also ensure you are not blocking paths, sidewalks or shop entrances; otherwise, you’ll be disturbing the public space. Most importantly, focus on songs that are familiar to the audience. Older songs, in particular, often lead to more generous donations because they bring back fond memories for passers-by. Finally, choose your locations wisely. ____20____ These include stadiums, historical sites, theme parks and zoos. Instead, focus on areas with high foot traffic like subway stations. A. This attracts audiences and commands their respect. B. These street performances are likely to be made illegal. C. And it is hard to track them as they’re constantly moving. D. They also view busking as an organic way to connect with their fans. E. The worldwide popularity of busking can be explained by its ease of entry. F. You should avoid places where people have already paid for entertainment. G. The debate on whether busking is a legal or an illegal practice is a hot potato. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. G 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了街头表演（busking）的现状、争议、合法性以及街头艺人应遵守的基本规则。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The number of buskers is incredibly difficult to establish since most of them don't have an official permit.(街头艺人的数量极难确定，因为他们大多数人没有官方许可证)”可推知，前文已说明难以确定数量的一个原因，空处应承接上文继续说明另一原因。选项C“And it is hard to track them as they’re constantly moving.(而且很难追踪他们，因为他们不断移动)”中的“hard to track”与上文“difficult to establish”相呼应，进一步解释了街头艺人数量难以统计的原因。 【17题详解】 根据下文“In many cases, all you need to get into the busking scene is an instrument and a container to collect donations from passers-by.(在很多情况下，进入街头表演圈所需的只是一样乐器和一个用来收集路人捐赠的容器)”可推知，本段意在说明街头表演的门槛很低。选项E“The worldwide popularity of busking can be explained by its ease of entry.(街头表演在全球的流行可归因其易于进入)”引出下文，下文的“all you need...”正是对“ease of entry”的具体阐释。 【18题详解】 根据下文“The answer usually depends on where you are.(答案通常取决于你在哪里)”可推知，空处应提出一个需要回答的问题。选项G“The debate on whether busking is a legal or an illegal practice is a hot potato.(关于街头表演是合法还是非法的争论是个烫手山芋)”提出了街头表演合法性的争议，而下文的“The answer”正是对此争论的回应，说明不同地区有不同规定。 【19题详解】 根据上文“It’s crucial to dress well to make it clear that you are a performer, not a beggar.(穿着得体至关重要，以表明你是表演者，而不是乞丐)”可推知，空处应说明穿着得体的效果或作用。选项A“This attracts audiences and commands their respect.(这能吸引观众并赢得他们的尊重)”中的“This”指代前文的“dress well”，说明了良好着装带来的积极效果，与上下文衔接紧密。 【20题详解】 根据下文“These include stadiums, historical sites, theme parks and zoos. Instead, focus on areas with high foot traffic like subway stations. (这些包括体育场、历史遗迹、主题公园和动物园。相反，应专注于地铁站等高人流区域)”可推知，空处应指出应避免某些特定场所。选项F“You should avoid places where people have already paid for entertainment.(你应该避开人们已经为娱乐付费的地方)”中的“places where people have already paid for entertainment”与下文列举的“stadiums, historical sites, theme parks and zoos”相对应，“These”即指代此类场所。 第三部分 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Elowen was a reserved teenager volunteering at a local community center on weekends.

Jaxen, a 20-year-old delivery rider, hurried through the streets of a residential neighborhood on his bicycle, holding a warm pizza box firmly. Coming from a low-income family, Jaxen lived with his single mother, who held down two jobs to make ends meet. To save for his college tuition (学费), he worked as a part-time deliveryman every day after school. As new order alerts kept ringing on his phone, he looked anxious — he was already ten minutes behind schedule for his next drop-off. As he cycled past Building 3, a strange sharp smell came to his nose. Jaxen first guessed it came from someone's overcooked meal, shook off the thought and kept riding, for delivery earnings were vital to his tuition fund. Yet the smell hung in the air, growing sharper as he moved on. “This is nothing like burnt food,” he said quietly. A thought crossed his mind: his teachers had always told students to stay alert to hidden dangers and never ignore small safety signs, as a little care could save lives. His mother had also noted that a gas leak smells like bad eggs and is highly dangerous. Doubts filled Jaxen’s heart, but turning back would make him even later. Just then, his phone rang. The customer shouted loudly that he’d leave a bad review if Jaxen did not arrive within five minutes. He hung up before Jaxen could speak. Still, Jaxen turned his bike and raced back to Building 3 to check. The smell grew far stronger by the first-floor entrance. He knocked hard on the door of Apartment 102. He heard a child crying inside but got no answer. Stepping quickly to the window, he glanced through it and saw a woman lying motionless on the sofa, with a little kid crying helplessly beside her. The gas smell turned almost unbearable, making Jaxen dizzy. He knew he had no moment to hesitate. 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。 Just then, Jaxen received the customer’s call once again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Minutes later, the woman woke up, seeing Jaxen and the gas repairman beside her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Just then, Jaxen received the customer’s call once again. The customer roared angrily, blaming Jaxen for being extremely late and threatening to complain to the platform. Despite the possible bad review and lost income for his tuition, Jaxen refused to leave the dangerous scene. He briefly explained the emergency and hung up immediately. Without hesitation, he broke the window, rushed inside, carried the scared child out to fresh air, and opened all windows to release the poisonous gas. Meanwhile, he called the gas repairman and an ambulance for timely rescue. Minutes later, the woman woke up, seeing Jaxen and the gas repairman beside her. She gradually realized what had happened and was overwhelmed with gratitude. Knowing Jaxen sacrificed his delivery order to save her family, she was deeply touched and kept thanking him. After making sure everything was safe, Jaxen hurried to finish his delivery. Although he finally got a bad review, he felt peaceful and fulfilled. He truly learned that responsibility lies in choosing kindness in difficulty and that nothing is more precious than human life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以外卖骑手Jaxen察觉煤气泄漏、舍己救人为线索展开，讲述了家境贫寒、急需攒学费的兼职骑手，在遭到顾客严厉催促与差评威胁时，依然坚守善意与安全底线，冒险救助煤气中毒母子，最终领悟责任与生命可贵的温暖故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写顾客愤怒追责、杰克森不顾差评损失、果断破窗救人、通风并拨打求助电话的紧急施救过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写女子苏醒后得知真相满心感激，杰克森虽遭受差评却无怨无悔，收获成长与人生感悟。 2. 续写线索：接到追责电话 → 无视差评威胁 → 破窗救人通风 → 紧急求助救援人员 → 当事人苏醒致谢 → 主人公感悟成长 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①责备：blame/scold ②释放：release/let out ③确保：make sure/ensure 情绪类 ①愤怒地：angrily/wrathfully ②害怕的：scared/frightened ③满足的：fulfilled/content 【点睛】【高分句型1】Knowing Jaxen sacrificed his delivery order to save her family, she was deeply touched and kept thanking him.(运用了现在分词短语“Knowing Jaxen sacrificed his delivery order to save her family”作状语，其中含有省略that的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Although he finally got a bad review, he felt peaceful and fulfilled.(运用了although引导的让步状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，务必将自己的个人信息填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例： How much is the shirt?

B Looking back, I can still picture my senior year as a series of carefully planned steps. Every decision I made, from the classes I chose to the friends I kept, was aimed at securing a spot in a top university. I had convinced myself that if I could just control every variable, success would be certain. Little did I know that life had a completely different lesson in store for me. It happened on a rainy Tuesday afternoon when our basketball coach announced that tryouts for the final match of the season would take place the following week. For reasons I could not fully explain, something awoke inside me — a quiet voice I had silenced for years suddenly refused to be ignored any longer. What if, just for once, I did something not because it looked good on my college application, but simply because it made me feel alive? The difficult choice I found myself wrestling with was this: either I continued down the safe path I had mapped out, or I took a risk that might ruin everything I had worked so hard to build. After several sleepless nights, during which my old self argued strongly with the new one, I finally decided to go for the tryouts. The moment I stepped onto that court, surrounded by boys who had been practicing for years, I felt completely out of place. My shots missed the basket; my footwork was awkward; more than once, I wanted nothing more than to disappear into the crowd. Yet, despite all my failures, I discovered something far more valuable than any grade or award. I discovered the courage to try, the freedom to fail, and the quiet satisfaction that comes from knowing you have lived truthfully. In the end, I did not make the team. But walking off the court that day, I realized that the true sign of progress lies not in the prizes we collect, but in the challenges we dare to face and the person we become along the way. 4.

Taking risks brings positive growth. D. Practicing more leads to sure success. C CAR T-cell therapy (疗法) can be a lifesaving treatment for blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. The gene therapy trains a patient’s T cells — white blood cells that play an important role in the immune (免疫) system — to fight cancer by making them produce chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) proteins. These proteins assist T cells in identifying diseased cells and removing them. But the current process involves harvesting T cells, modifying them and putting them back into a patient’s body. However, the production process is so slow that patients’ cancers can progress while they wait. The therapy is also prohibitively expensive for many people. That’s why scientists are working to engineer T cells within the body. So far, the novel practice has shown promise. To change T cells inside the body, researchers behind the two new trials relied on genetically modified viruses. They carry the genetic code for CAR proteins to patients’ immune cells. This method surmounts some challenges of CAR T-cell therapy, which are mentioned above. Researchers presented initial results of an early-phase clinical trial exploring CAR T-cell therapy that works inside the body at the American Society of Hematology annual meeting. This trial, along with another reported in July, 2025 in The Lancet, is inspiring hope that the experimental treatment can be used for certain hard-to-treat cancers, though the researchers also noted some serious side effects. “The question is no longer ‘Can you really do this?’” says Yvonne Chen, a scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles. “The question now is ‘Can you reach the level of effectiveness that’s expected and will the safety meet the target?’” Still, it’s very early. They’re only reporting on three patients, so we still have a lot more to learn. But it’s definitely an exciting development that’s beginning, at least, to offer proof of principle that it’s possible to do this with some effectiveness. 8. What is the function of CAR proteins? A. They help T cells destroy diseased cells. B. They can be transformed into T cells. C. They usually take the place of T cells. D. They recognize cancer cells by themselves. 9. Why are scientists trying to develop a new type of CAR T-cell therapy? A. To cure cancers without any side effects. B. To promote traditional cancer operation. C. To reduce dependence on white blood cells. D. To make the treatment quick and affordable. 10. What does the underlined word “surmounts” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Ignores. B. Illustrates. C. Confirms. D. Overcomes. 11. What is Yvonne Chen’s attitude towards the new therapy? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Unclear. D How do jackdaw chicks (寒鸦雏鸟) learn to distinguish safe bird calls from ones that mean possible coming death? In a recent study, researchers played predator (捕食者) calls paired with adult jackdaw alarm calls or the neutral adult jackdaw contact calls to 20- to 30-day-old jackdaw chicks across 39 wild nests in southwestern England. They found that listening to predator calls paired with alarm calls taught chicks to be afraid of the predator. The young birds were more alert when they heard the call again. On the other hand, the chicks that heard the predator calls paired with the contact calls did not gain this fear. “Our study shows that the young jackdaws can learn about dangers they might encounter in the future by listening to adults,” Hannah Broad, lead author of the study, said. “As they are in the nest, jackdaws are fairly safe. However, learning through trial and error after leaving the nest can be dangerous — so social learning as a chick could be highly valuable.” Broad and her team also revealed that the jackdaw chicks didn’t learn to fear a non-predatory bird call even when they paired it with alarm calls, indicating that the chicks’ learning processes focus only on understanding “biologically meaningful” links. This prevents the animals from wasting energy reacting to harmless things. To simulate (模拟) a common predator, the team used calls from the bird called the Eurasian goshawk. The non-predator calls came from the bird called the American golden plover. Importantly, the chicks hadn’t heard these calls prior to the study. “Learning to associate events that occur together by chance — for example, becoming scared of any bird call heard at the same time as alarm calls — could cause chicks to learn the wrong information,” explained Alex Thornton, a co-author. “The chicks in our study learned to fear goshawk calls due to social learning from adults, but our findings suggest natural selection processes tailor what can be socially learnt.” 12. What do the alarm calls of adult jackdaws serve as to chicks? A. Comfort calls to calm them down. B. Contact calls for fear avoidance. C. Warnings for the upcoming dangers. D. Signals to decrease watchfulness. 13. What is special about the chicks’ social learning? A. It is time-consuming. B. It is selective. C. It is energy-wasting. D. It is trial-and-error-based. 14. What does Alex want to express about chicks? A. Their disbelief results from chance events. B. They can understand all accidental calls. C. Their learning content is shaped by nature. D.

The number of buskers is incredibly difficult to establish since most of them don’t have an official permit. ____16____ On the one hand, busking is seen as a form of street entertainment or public performance. On the other hand, it is considered a form of begging, and is, therefore, legally and culturally unacceptable in many parts of the world. ____17____ In many cases, all you need to get into the busking scene is an instrument and a container to collect donations from passers-by. ____18____ The answer usually depends on where you are. In many places like Birmingham and Venice, busking can lead to arrest, or fee payments. However, there are many places where busking is an everyday practice like London, Dublin, Berlin and Marrakesh. To guarantee a safe busking experience, buskers should obey some basic rules. It’s crucial to dress well to make it clear that you are a performer, not a beggar. ____19____ You must also ensure you are not blocking paths, sidewalks or shop entrances; otherwise, you’ll be disturbing the public space. Most importantly, focus on songs that are familiar to the audience. Older songs, in particular, often lead to more generous donations because they bring back fond memories for passers-by. Finally, choose your locations wisely. ____20____ These include stadiums, historical sites, theme parks and zoos. Instead, focus on areas with high foot traffic like subway stations. A. This attracts audiences and commands their respect. B. These street performances are likely to be made illegal. C. And it is hard to track them as they’re constantly moving. D. They also view busking as an organic way to connect with their fans. E. The worldwide popularity of busking can be explained by its ease of entry. F. You should avoid places where people have already paid for entertainment. G. The debate on whether busking is a legal or an illegal practice is a hot potato. 第三部分 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Elowen was a reserved teenager volunteering at a local community center on weekends.

Jaxen, a 20-year-old delivery rider, hurried through the streets of a residential neighborhood on his bicycle, holding a warm pizza box firmly. Coming from a low-income family, Jaxen lived with his single mother, who held down two jobs to make ends meet. To save for his college tuition (学费), he worked as a part-time deliveryman every day after school. As new order alerts kept ringing on his phone, he looked anxious — he was already ten minutes behind schedule for his next drop-off. As he cycled past Building 3, a strange sharp smell came to his nose. Jaxen first guessed it came from someone's overcooked meal, shook off the thought and kept riding, for delivery earnings were vital to his tuition fund. Yet the smell hung in the air, growing sharper as he moved on. “This is nothing like burnt food,” he said quietly. A thought crossed his mind: his teachers had always told students to stay alert to hidden dangers and never ignore small safety signs, as a little care could save lives. His mother had also noted that a gas leak smells like bad eggs and is highly dangerous. Doubts filled Jaxen’s heart, but turning back would make him even later. Just then, his phone rang. The customer shouted loudly that he’d leave a bad review if Jaxen did not arrive within five minutes. He hung up before Jaxen could speak. Still, Jaxen turned his bike and raced back to Building 3 to check. The smell grew far stronger by the first-floor entrance. He knocked hard on the door of Apartment 102. He heard a child crying inside but got no answer. Stepping quickly to the window, he glanced through it and saw a woman lying motionless on the sofa, with a little kid crying helplessly beside her. The gas smell turned almost unbearable, making Jaxen dizzy. He knew he had no moment to hesitate. 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。 Just then, Jaxen received the customer’s call once again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Minutes later, the woman woke up, seeing Jaxen and the gas repairman beside her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
