Weekends started with shrimp dumplings, beef tripe, and rice noodle rolls, all washed down with Pu’er tea. “If you want to eat it, you have to read it,” my mom would say, handing me the order sheet. Struggling with unfamiliar characters, I tried to match dish names with images in my mind. “You need to keep up your language,” she’d add. “Dim sum is about connecting with family.” For us, yum cha happened at local cha lou — those loud, colorful tea houses and Chinese restaurants. At the cha lou, my usually timid mother came alive and was popular among the staff, chatting and joking with them. Dim sum was her connection to home. Naturally, it was over dim sum one Saturday that my parents told me they were leaving Canada for Hong Kong to be with my aging grandparents. I was in college and visiting home. I stuffed an egg custard bun into my mouth, and said in a low voice that they should do what they wanted. My mom placed the last shrimp dumpling in my bowl. “Eat up,” she said, “you might not get dim sum for a while.” In the years that followed, I often visited an ethnic grocery store near college to buy dim sum. I’d take home cha siu baos, barbecued pork buns, and eat them alone, defying dim sum’s shared spirit. I’d send photos to my mom, who’d reply with pictures of her own, always better-looking dim sum. Exchanging these photos became our way of sharing lives. Despite our differences, dim sum remained our simple connection. We struggle, still. Just as I struggle with the characters of the dim sum menu, my experiences are often lost in translation with my parents. There may never be the right words, but there is always the right food. Whenever we visit each other, we have dim sum, piling each other’s plates as if to say, “I’m sorry,” “I missed you,” and “I love you.” In Chinese, dim sum means “touch the heart”. And for me, it always does. 4. Why did the author’s mother ask her to read the dim sum menu? A. To impress the staff. B. To practice Chinese. C. To choose dishes faster. D. To test her language skills. 5. How did the author react to her parents’ decision to leave Canada? A. She expressed her worry. B. She stopped eating anything. C. She accepted with a heavy heart. D. She begged them not to leave. 6. What does the underlined word “defying” in paragraph 7 mean? A. Breaking. B. Respecting. C. Celebrating. D. Remembering. 7. What does dim sum symbolize for the author? A. A generational conflict. B. A personal challenge. C. A childhood memory. D. A family connection. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】作者儿时伴着点心早茶成长，点心承载亲情。父母迁居后，彼此互发点心照片维系牵挂，语言存有隔阂，点心却始终是联结家人心意的温情纽带。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“You need to keep up your language(你需要坚持练习你的语言能力)”可知，作者的母亲让她阅读点心菜单是为了练习中文。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Naturally, it was over dim sum one Saturday that my parents told me they were leaving Canada for Hong Kong to be with my aging grandparents. I was in college and visiting home. I stuffed an egg custard bun into my mouth, and said in a low voice that they should do what they wanted.(自然，那是在一个周六的下午吃点心的时候，我的父母告诉我他们要离开加拿大前往香港，去和我年迈的祖父母团聚。当时我正在上大学，正在回家探亲。我咬了一口蛋奶馅的点心，低声说道：“他们应该做自己想做的事。”)”可知，作者怀着沉重的心情接受了父母决定离开加拿大这一决定。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I’d take home cha siu baos, barbecued pork buns, and eat them alone(我会买回叉烧包、烤猪肉包，然后独自一人享用)”以及后文“dim sum’s shared spirit(点心分享的精神)”可知，作者独自享用点心，违背了点心分享的这一传统精神，故划线词意思是“违背”。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Despite our differences, dim sum remained our simple connection.(尽管我们之间存在差异，但点心却成为了我们之间最纯粹的纽带)”可知，对于作者而言，点心象征着一种家庭联系。 C At 16, Benjamin Davis, a sophomore at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, has invented a revolutionary desktop system that recycles plastic bottles and 3D printing waste into high-quality 3D printing filament (塑料丝). His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world. Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine. His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing. At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly. Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems. 8. What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine? A. His enthusiasm for machinery. B. A grand award from a competition. C. The global recognition and attention. D. The plastic waste problem in his school. 9. What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text? A. It’s user-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s energy-efficient. D. It’s high-productive. 10. Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis? A. Creative and committed. B. Kind and responsible. C. Hard-working and humble. D. Insistent and generous. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Student’s MIT Dream. B. The Development of 3D Printing. C. The Future Belonging to the Young. D. A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10.

Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine.(他决心找到一个切实可行的解决方案，于是开始研究如何将废弃物转化为有价值的资源。在长达 18 个月的时间里，他一直耐心地在自己的车库里工作，进行研究、设计和建造各种模型，直到最终造出了一台小巧而先进的机器。)”可知，本杰明自主构思创新发明，体现creative(富有创造力的)；耗时十八个月反复研究改造、测试五十余个版本并坚持优化设备，体现committed(专注投入的)。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。全文核心讲述一名青少年利用发明将塑料废料转化为可用资源，变废为宝的故事。D项“一个青少年变废为宝”符合主题，适合用作标题。 D Pancreatic cancer has become one of the deadliest forms of cancer across the world — it is often called a “silent killer” largely because early detection is so hard. Symptoms rarely appear until the disease has advanced, leaving patients with a five-year survival rate of only about 10 percent. Now, new research suggests that an AI tool may significantly improve early detection of this deadly disease. In a study published in Nature Medicine, researchers from China found that an AI tool called PANDA, when analyzing routine noncontrast CT scans, could correctly identify 93 percent of people who had pancreatic lesions (病灶).  Contrast CT scans, used to confirm its presence, involve large amounts of radiation, so many experts advise against widespread screening. But lower-radiation alternatives, noncontrast CTs, produce less clearly defined pictures, making it harder for radiologists to identify abnormalities. The tool, developed by researchers with Chinese tech giant Alibaba, was trained to address this by using an AI model to spot potential cancer. Crucially, this process relies on the AI model being trained on mapped data from contrast scans. The team first asked a radiologist to manually mark the contrast CTs of more than 2,000 known pancreatic patients with the locations of their lesions. The engineers then algorithmically (通过算法) mapped the highlighted lesions onto the same patients’ noncontrast CTs. Those noncontrast scans were then fed to the AI model, so that it could learn to detect potential cancer even in less detailed images. Still, researchers cautioned that more real-world data was needed to determine whether the tool’s benefits outweigh the risks of false positives and unnecessary testing. Dr. Ajit Goenka of Mayo Clinic stressed the importance of reducing false alarms, noting that hundreds in Ningbo faced unnecessary terror and testing only to find they were healthy. Dr. Diane Simeone of UC San Diego added that the tool might be more useful for trainee doctors than for experienced specialists, but acknowledged it could be a valuable backstop for hospitals lacking specialists. 12. How does the author illustrate cancer’s severity in the first paragraph? A. By defining a term. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving examples. D. By describing a medical process. 13. What is the AI model aimed at? A. Reducing the radiation of CT scans. B. Identifying lesions in less clear images. C. Improving the clarity of scan images. D. Replacing contrast CT scans completely. 14. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A. The comparison of two CT scans. B. The role of radiologists in the process. C. The cause of false positives in detection. D. The functional principle of the AI model. 15. What is Dr. Diane Simeone’s attitude towards the potential use of PANDA? A. Fully supportive. B. Highly critical. C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Deeply skeptical. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了新研究显示AI工具PANDA可提高胰腺癌早期检测率及其原理、应用前景。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Symptoms rarely appear until the disease has advanced, leaving patients with a five-year survival rate of only about 10 percent.(症状很少在疾病进展到晚期之前出现，患者的五年生存率只有约10%)”可知，作者通过提供统计数据来说明癌症的严重性。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But lower-radiation alternatives, noncontrast CTs, produce less clearly defined pictures, making it harder for radiologists to identify abnormalities. The tool, developed by researchers with Chinese tech giant Alibaba, was trained to address this by using an AI model to spot potential cancer.(但是，低辐射的替代方案，即非对比CT，产生的图像清晰度较低，使得放射科医生更难识别异常。这个由中国科技巨头阿里巴巴的研究人员开发的工具，通过使用人工智能模型来识别潜在的癌症，从而解决了这个问题)”可知，AI模型旨在识别不太清晰的图像中的病灶。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The team first asked a radiologist to manually mark the contrast CTs of more than 2,000 known pancreatic patients with the locations of their lesions. The engineers then algorithmically (通过算法) mapped the highlighted lesions onto the same patients’ noncontrast CTs. Those noncontrast scans were then fed to the AI model, so that it could learn to detect potential cancer even in less detailed images.(研究小组首先要求一名放射科医生手动标记2000多名已知胰腺癌患者的对比CT图像上病灶的位置。然后，工程师们通过算法将这些突出的病灶映射到同一患者的非对比CT图像上。然后将这些非对比扫描图像输入到AI模型中，以便它能够学会即使在不太详细的图像中也能检测出潜在的癌症)”可知，该段主要介绍了AI工具PANDA的工作原理——先由放射科医生标记病灶，再通过算法映射到非增强CT图像上，最后训练AI模型识别病灶。因此，该段主要讲述AI模型的工作原理。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dr. Diane Simeone of UC San Diego added that the tool might be more useful for trainee doctors than for experienced specialists, but acknowledged it could be a valuable backstop for hospitals lacking specialists.(加州大学圣地亚哥分校的Diane Simeone博士补充说，这个工具可能对实习医生比对有经验的专家更有用，但她承认，对于缺乏专家的医院来说，它可能是一个有价值的后盾)”可知，Diane Simeone博士对PANDA的潜在应用持谨慎乐观的态度。 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the age of constant digital exposure, there is a widespread problem — sleep could be challenging to get. ___16___ They are struggling with nonstop information, unfinished text message exchanges, strong desires to check social media, work worries, and self-reflections. To prevent overthinking stealing your sleep, here are three easy-to-apply ways. Give your thoughts a place to land When your mind believes it must hold on to every thought, these thoughts can feel like planes circling to touch down. ___17___ A good old-fashioned paper and pen next to your bed is far better than picking up your phone to write on your notes app. Phone in hand, you will likely start checking social media or news. Writing down your thoughts on paper tells your brain they are not ignored but safely stored, relaxing your mind. ___18___ Any gathering of mindfulness experts would provide enough evidence of how overthinking lives in imagined futures and in replayed (often mistakenly) pasts. Healthy sleep lives only in the here and now. So, feel the warmth of your blanket, the comfort of your body on your bed, and that super pleasant feeling of letting yourself go before falling asleep. ___19___ Realize sleep isn’t from removing all thoughts Your goal for a good night’s sleep is not to push all your thoughts away. ___20___ Gently reminding yourself how far you have come in life will help you stop worrying about what you have to do. Sleep is not about clearing your thoughts, but instead about how you hold on to them when you pull the blanket over you at night. A. So, land them on a paper runway. B. Clarify your thoughts to the fullest C. Secure your thoughts to the present D. This helps win your sleep back instantly. E. Overthinking in bed is difficult to address. F. Rather, the best way is to respond to them properly. G. Many people are lying in bed with their minds overthinking. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对数字时代人们因过度思考而难以入睡的问题，提出了三种简单易行的方法：将想法写下来、将思绪拉回当下以及正确回应想法而非强行清空。 【16题详解】 上文“In the age of constant digital exposure, there is a widespread problem — sleep could be challenging to get. (在持续数字暴露的时代，有一个普遍的问题——睡眠可能难以获得)”指出了数字时代睡眠困难的普遍现象。G选项“Many people are lying in bed with their minds overthinking. (许多人躺在床上，大脑却在过度思考)”承接上文，将“睡眠困难”这一普遍问题具体化为“睡前过度思考”这一核心现象，引出下文“They are struggling with nonstop information, unfinished text message exchanges, strong desires to check social media, work worries, and self-reflections. (他们正与源源不断的信息、未完成的短信交流、强烈的刷社交媒体欲望、工作焦虑和自我反思作斗争)”，具体描述了过度思考的表现。故选G项。 【17题详解】 上文“When your mind believes it must hold on to every thought, these thoughts can feel like planes circling to touch down. (当你的大脑认为必须抓住每一个想法时，这些想法就会像等待降落的飞机一样盘旋不去)”用“飞机盘旋”比喻思绪纷繁、无法安放的状态。A选项“So, land them on a paper runway. (所以，让它们降落在纸质的跑道上吧)”承接上文，用“So”引出针对这一比喻的解决方案——将思绪写下来，动词“land(着陆，降落)”与上文“飞机盘旋”的比喻形成巧妙的呼应。故选A项。 【18题详解】 下文“Any gathering of mindfulness experts would provide enough evidence of how overthinking lives in imagined futures and in replayed (often mistakenly) pasts. Healthy sleep lives only in the here and now. So, feel the warmth of your blanket, the comfort of your body on your bed, and that super pleasant feeling of letting yourself go before falling asleep. (任何正念专家的聚会都会提供足够的证据，说明过度思考如何存在于想象中的未来和被重新播放(通常是错误地)的过去之中。健康的睡眠只存在于此时此地。所以，感受毯子的温暖、身体在床上舒适的感觉，以及入睡前那种放下一切的愉悦)”整段都在阐述过度思考往往指向过去或未来，而健康的睡眠需要将思绪拉回到当下。C选项“Secure your thoughts to the present (将你的思绪固定在当下)”作为本段小标题，精准概括了下文的核心内容——通过将思绪锚定在此时此刻来对抗过度思考，起到总领全段的作用。故选C项。 【19题详解】 上文“So, feel the warmth of your blanket, the comfort of your body on your bed, and that super pleasant feeling of letting yourself go before falling asleep. (所以，感受毯子的温暖、身体在床上舒适的感觉，以及入睡前那种放下一切的愉悦)”介绍了通过感官体验将思绪拉回当下的具体做法。D选项“This helps win your sleep back instantly. (这有助于让你立刻找回睡眠)”承接上文，用“This”指代上文描述的“感受温暖、舒适、放松”这一行为，指出其直接效果——帮助入睡。故选D项。 【20题详解】 上文“Your goal for a good night’s sleep is not to push all your thoughts away. (一夜好眠的目标不是把所有想法都推开)”否定了“清空思绪”这一常见误解。F选项“Rather, the best way is to respond to them properly. (相反，最好的方式是恰当地回应它们)”承接上文，用“Rather”与上文的错误目标构成转折，提出正确的做法——恰当地回应想法。下文“Gently reminding yourself how far you have come in life will help you stop worrying about what you have to do. (温和地提醒自己你已经走了多远，会帮助你停止担心那些必须做的事情)”则具体阐述了如何“恰当地回应”——用积极的自我提醒来应对思绪。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For many children, the idea of operation is frightening.

As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly. But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars. Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart. One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them.” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. She first called a meeting for interested neighbors, where I explained my idea: setting up a small shelter for the cats in the community garden and arranging volunteers to feed them proper food regularly. To cover the cost of cat food and shelter materials, we decided to raise a small fund by asking willing residents to donate a little money each month. Many neighbors showed support, and some even signed up to be volunteers immediately. We divided the responsibilities clearly, ensuring every task was taken care of. After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. The shelter provided a safe home for the cats, and volunteers fed them on time without leaving any leftover food. The cooperation between animal lovers and other residents eliminated the conflict completely. No more flies gathered around the gate, and the cats no longer wandered into yards randomly. Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well, I felt proud of what we’d achieved. It turned out that every problem could be solved with kindness and joint efforts. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名喜爱动物的高中生，长期喂养小区里的流浪猫，后来越来越多邻居参与投喂，导致环境变差、邻里矛盾激化，大家对流浪猫的态度两极分化。在小区管理员的启发下，作者决定提出一个兼顾流浪猫和邻居利益的解决方案，希望化解冲突、救助流浪猫。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“李女士称赞了我的计划，并同意帮我付诸实践。”可知，第一段可描写实践的具体内容以及邻居们的支持。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过两周的共同努力，社区焕然一新。”可知，第二段可描写小窝为社区生活带来的变化以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：开会阐述想法——邻居表示支持——小窝带来积极影响——作者感到自豪——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②捐赠：donate/give away ③展示：show/display ④照顾：take care of/attend to 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/delightedly ②对……感到自豪：feel proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] She first called a meeting for interested neighbors, where I explained my idea: setting up a small shelter for the cats in the community garden and arranging volunteers to feed them proper food regularly.（运用了where引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Seeing the cats playing happily in the shelter and neighbors getting along well, I felt proud of what we’d achieved.（运用了现在分词短语Seeing…作状语，what引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 陕西省洛南中学 2025 — 2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语试题 第Ⅰ卷（选择题，共95分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1.

Weekends started with shrimp dumplings, beef tripe, and rice noodle rolls, all washed down with Pu’er tea. “If you want to eat it, you have to read it,” my mom would say, handing me the order sheet. Struggling with unfamiliar characters, I tried to match dish names with images in my mind. “You need to keep up your language,” she’d add. “Dim sum is about connecting with family.” For us, yum cha happened at local cha lou — those loud, colorful tea houses and Chinese restaurants. At the cha lou, my usually timid mother came alive and was popular among the staff, chatting and joking with them. Dim sum was her connection to home. Naturally, it was over dim sum one Saturday that my parents told me they were leaving Canada for Hong Kong to be with my aging grandparents. I was in college and visiting home. I stuffed an egg custard bun into my mouth, and said in a low voice that they should do what they wanted. My mom placed the last shrimp dumpling in my bowl. “Eat up,” she said, “you might not get dim sum for a while.” In the years that followed, I often visited an ethnic grocery store near college to buy dim sum. I’d take home cha siu baos, barbecued pork buns, and eat them alone, defying dim sum’s shared spirit. I’d send photos to my mom, who’d reply with pictures of her own, always better-looking dim sum. Exchanging these photos became our way of sharing lives. Despite our differences, dim sum remained our simple connection. We struggle, still. Just as I struggle with the characters of the dim sum menu, my experiences are often lost in translation with my parents. There may never be the right words, but there is always the right food. Whenever we visit each other, we have dim sum, piling each other’s plates as if to say, “I’m sorry,” “I missed you,” and “I love you.” In Chinese, dim sum means “touch the heart”. And for me, it always does. 4. Why did the author’s mother ask her to read the dim sum menu? A. To impress the staff. B. To practice Chinese. C. To choose dishes faster. D. To test her language skills. 5. How did the author react to her parents’ decision to leave Canada? A. She expressed her worry. B. She stopped eating anything. C. She accepted with a heavy heart. D. She begged them not to leave. 6. What does the underlined word “defying” in paragraph 7 mean? A. Breaking. B. Respecting. C. Celebrating. D. Remembering. 7. What does dim sum symbolize for the author? A. A generational conflict. B. A personal challenge. C. A childhood memory. D. A family connection. C At 16, Benjamin Davis, a sophomore at Bishop Feehan High School in Massachusetts, has invented a revolutionary desktop system that recycles plastic bottles and 3D printing waste into high-quality 3D printing filament (塑料丝). His groundbreaking work won him first place at the 2025 International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the $75,000 Regeneron Young Scientist Award, bringing him widespread recognition and increasing attention from scientific communities around the world. Benjamin’s inspiration struck when he noticed massive amounts of plastic waste piling up in his school’s art room. As he watched these useless materials being thrown away each day, he felt deeply concerned about the growing environmental damage caused by plastic pollution. Determined to find a practical solution, he began to research ways to change waste into valuable resources. Over 18 months, he worked patiently in his garage, researching, designing, and constructing different models until he finally created a small, and advanced machine. His device can shred plastic waste, melt it, and form it into smooth and consistent 3D printing filament in a single continuous process. Compared with traditional industrial recycling machines, his design uses 70% less energy and produces materials of higher quality. Schools and creative spaces across the globe have already expressed strong interest in his invention, and several institutions have requested detailed prototypes for further testing. At first, few were quick to credit someone of his age with the ability to tackle such a complex technical undertaking. Teachers and peers questioned whether his small machine could work steadily and meet real-world standards. However, Benjamin never lost confidence. He tested more than 50 versions, stayed up late making improvements, and carefully recorded each result until his device performed perfectly. Benjamin now plans to study mechanical engineering at MIT. He hopes his experience will encourage more young people to care about the environment and take practical action to solve real problems. 8. What inspired Benjamin to create the recycling machine? A. His enthusiasm for machinery. B. A grand award from a competition. C. The global recognition and attention. D. The plastic waste problem in his school. 9. What is an advantage of Benjamin’s machine according to the text? A. It’s user-friendly. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s energy-efficient. D. It’s high-productive. 10. Which words can best describe Benjamin Davis? A. Creative and committed. B. Kind and responsible. C. Hard-working and humble. D. Insistent and generous. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Student’s MIT Dream. B. The Development of 3D Printing. C. The Future Belonging to the Young. D. A Teen Turning Waste into Treasure. D Pancreatic cancer has become one of the deadliest forms of cancer across the world — it is often called a “silent killer” largely because early detection is so hard. Symptoms rarely appear until the disease has advanced, leaving patients with a five-year survival rate of only about 10 percent. Now, new research suggests that an AI tool may significantly improve early detection of this deadly disease. In a study published in Nature Medicine, researchers from China found that an AI tool called PANDA, when analyzing routine noncontrast CT scans, could correctly identify 93 percent of people who had pancreatic lesions (病灶).  Contrast CT scans, used to confirm its presence, involve large amounts of radiation, so many experts advise against widespread screening. But lower-radiation alternatives, noncontrast CTs, produce less clearly defined pictures, making it harder for radiologists to identify abnormalities. The tool, developed by researchers with Chinese tech giant Alibaba, was trained to address this by using an AI model to spot potential cancer. Crucially, this process relies on the AI model being trained on mapped data from contrast scans. The team first asked a radiologist to manually mark the contrast CTs of more than 2,000 known pancreatic patients with the locations of their lesions. The engineers then algorithmically (通过算法) mapped the highlighted lesions onto the same patients’ noncontrast CTs. Those noncontrast scans were then fed to the AI model, so that it could learn to detect potential cancer even in less detailed images. Still, researchers cautioned that more real-world data was needed to determine whether the tool’s benefits outweigh the risks of false positives and unnecessary testing. Dr. Ajit Goenka of Mayo Clinic stressed the importance of reducing false alarms, noting that hundreds in Ningbo faced unnecessary terror and testing only to find they were healthy. Dr. Diane Simeone of UC San Diego added that the tool might be more useful for trainee doctors than for experienced specialists, but acknowledged it could be a valuable backstop for hospitals lacking specialists. 12. How does the author illustrate cancer’s severity in the first paragraph? A. By defining a term. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving examples. D. By describing a medical process. 13. What is the AI model aimed at? A. Reducing the radiation of CT scans. B. Identifying lesions in less clear images. C. Improving the clarity of scan images. D. Replacing contrast CT scans completely. 14. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about? A. The comparison of two CT scans. B. The role of radiologists in the process. C. The cause of false positives in detection. D. The functional principle of the AI model. 15. What is Dr. Diane Simeone’s attitude towards the potential use of PANDA? A. Fully supportive. B. Highly critical. C. Cautiously optimistic. D.

As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly. But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars. Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart. One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them.” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two weeks of joint efforts, the community took on a brand-new look. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
