But the brave boy did not want to die 35 did he want to be lame.Much to the 36 of the doctor,he did survive.But 37 from his waist down,he had no motor ability.His thin legs just 38 there,lifeless.Eventually he left the hospital.But his determination to walk was 39.At home, when he was not in bed,he had to stay in a 40 to move around.One day,he 41 himself from the chair and pulled himself across the grass,42 his legs behind him.He reached the fence, raised himself up and then began dragging himself along the fence firmly 43.He did this every day,with faith in himself that he would be able to walk 44.With his 45 determination, he did develop the ability to stand up,then to walk on and off,then to walk by himself and then to run. He began to walk to school,and then run to school,to run for the joy of running.Later in college he was on the 46 team. In February 1934;in New York City's Madison Square Garden,this young man who was not 47 to survive,who would surely never walk,who could never hope to run-this determined young man Dr.Glenn Cunningham,ran the world's fastest mile. A good example of the power of positive thinking and faith in one's self,Glenn Cunningham continues to be an 48 for many,and his story,a brilliant evidence to how one can bounce back even when all difficulties are 49 one,to the degree that death seemed the 50 option. 31.A.regret B.effort C.love D.failure 32.A.hit B.knocked C.driven D.kicked 33.A.destroyed 'B.hurt C.shaken D.attacked 34.A.gather B.survive C.rise D.grow 35.A.but B.nor C.and D.or 36.A.amazement B,relief C.astonishment D. disappointment 37.A.surprisingly B.gladly C.unfortunately D.gratefully 38.A.handed B.hung C.put D.stood 39.A.unbelievable B.unaccountable C.unshakable D.uncomfortable 40.A.stick B.place C.seat D.wheelchair 41.A.caught B.lifted C.threw D.missed 42.A.dragging B.searching C.pushing D.running 43.A.excited B.devoted C. determined D.sad 44.A.untrained B.unaided C.clumsily D.swiftly 45.A.wood B.plastic C.iron D.stone 46.A.football B.hike C.climb D.track 47.A.predicted B.expected C.affected D. presented 48.A.gesture B.favor C.connection D.inspiration 49.A.piled B.picked C.produced D.saved 50.A.popular B.comprehensive C.effective D.preferable 第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A What's On?

B On a sunny Sunday morning,I went to my first ballet class.But I didn't do any dancing.This was Class on Stage,a rare opportunity to watch dancers warm up during their daily 75-minute class.I went in knowing that I would be impressed by the physicality of it.Top athletes aren't born;they're made. Forty-five minutes into the class,the dancers didn't even look tired.While watching dancers quietly plie with complete control was calming,watching the floor exercises that came next was anything but.The sequences were short but became increasingly complicated,so I stopped paying attention to the directions I couldn't follow,and simply allowed myself to observe the remarkable results.At the end of the class.I applauded and watched the dancers leave the stage.They had already accomplished so much with their day,and I was left in complete awe,not just of my inadequacy,but also of their effort. As I headed home,I tried to think of the last time I worked as hard as those dancers at anything in my own life.So much has been made easier by technology:I can listen to any song I want,whenever I want.I can have pretty much anything delivered.I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them.But instead of taking shortcuts,maybe I should look for challenges.Because once you start doing challenging things,they become easier,and then you know you can do them. With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind,I commit to doing some hard things:I get back in the habit of practicing a language I've been trying to learn.I lift heavier weights.I take the stairs.I write the essay. Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day.They inspire me.So.I guess what I'm trying to suy is that sometimes a fitness class can change even if you're not the one taking it. 56.Which statement accurately describes the ballet class mentioned in the passage? A.The writer actively took part in dancing B.The dancers didn't look exhausted despite the physicality. C.The warm-up session lasted only 45 minutes that morning. D.The writer could follow the directions throughout the session. 57.How did the author feel when the ballet class ended? A.She was amazed by how hard the dancers worked. B.She regretted not putting more effort into ballet. C.She believed she could face life's difficulties better. D.She felt embarrassed about her own lack of determination. 58.By mentioning the technology that has made life easier,the writer means that A.Technology allows people to avoid difficult tasks B.Using technology helps improve work efficiency C.A simple life requires rejecting modern tools D.Technology's convenience may reduce motivation to seek challenges 59.What has the writer learned from her first ballet lesson? A.Fitness classes build both body and mind strength. B.We should push ourselves to seek challenges for self-improvement. C.Difficult things are worth trying as long as you enjoy doing them. D.Watching others practice ballet is a good way to improve ourselves. 60.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Fitness classes are of no significance. B.Only through taking part in ballet can one truly change. C.Observing others'commitment can inspire personal growth. D.Fitness classes are essential for everyone's life improvement. C Carbon removal is crucial for fighting climatc change.Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems.This optimization (aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage. To design these climate-saving plants,the scicntists are using a research tool called SLEAP-an AI software that tracks multiple features of root growth.Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira,SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab.Now,Pereira has teamed up with plant scientist Professor Wolfgang Busch to apply SLEAP to plants. In a study published in Plant Phenomics,Busch and Pereira establish a new procedure for using SLEAP to analyze plant root phenotypes-how deep and wide they grow,how massive their root systems become,and other physical qualities.Prior to SLEAP,tracking the physical characteristics of both plants and animals required a lot of labor that slowed the scientific process.SLEAP uses computer vision(the ability for computers to understand images)and deep learning(an AI approach for training a computer to learn and work like the human brain)to help researchers process images much more quickly. The application of SLEAP to plants has already enabled researchers to establish the most extensive catalog (of plant root phenotypes to date.What's more,tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes associated with those characteristics,as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently.This allows the Salk team to determine what genes are most beneficial to their plant designs. "Our cooperation is truly proof of what makes Salk science so special and impactful,"says Pereira. "We're not just 'borrowing'from different disciplines-we're really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts." 61.What do the scientists at Salk Institute hope to achieve? A.Reducing carbon absorption. B.Optimizing the use of energy. C.Enhancing biological diversity. D.Keeping more carbon in plants. 62.Why did Pereira create SLEAP? A.To conduct research on animals. B.To generate plant images. C.To study climate patterns. D.To track features of root growth. 63 What will SLEAP help the scientists do? A.Pick out diseased plants in the forcst. B.Collect samples of plant root systems. C.Identify gencs for desirable plant roots. D.Preserve the genes of endangered plants. 64.What can be inferred from Pereira's words? A.Academic disciplines are of equal importance. B.Computer programming is a must for scientists. C.Cooperation outweighs competition in research. D.Interdisciplinary approach promotes creativity. 65.Before SLEAP appeared,why was the scientific process slow? A.Because there were not enough qualified researchers. B.Because tracking biological characteristics cost much labor. C.Because deep learning technology was not available. D.Because plant root phenotypes were difficult to record. 第川卷 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Awake from a short sleep in her chair,my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair,looked out her window at the blue sky,and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish. She often asks this,and I always answer the same way-"To have Granddad back"-which usually gets her reminiscing about him.Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile.

"Oh Richard,so many people are old at 60.They just want to sit all day.You won't make it to 90 like that.You have to try. “Try what?” "Try walking,"she said."Try gardening.Try cooking.Trying doesn't require a lot of trying.Just try a little.Like,with this coffee you've made us.I know you tried."
