On April 19, 2026, the Beijing Half Marathon witnessed a historic moment: the domestic humanoid robot “Shandian” crossed the finish line in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, breaking the human half-marathon world record. This remarkable achievement has attracted global attention, marking a major breakthrough in China’s humanoid robot technology.
“Shandian” is independently developed by a Chinese scientific research team, with a height of 1.75 meters and a weight of 65 kilograms, closely resembling the physical characteristics of an adult human. Unlike ordinary robots that can only perform simple repetitive movements, “Shandian” is equipped with advanced motion control systems and AI perception technology. It can adjust its running posture in real time according to road conditions, avoid obstacles, and even maintain a stable rhythm when tired, just like a professional runner. The research team spent three years optimizing the robot’s joint design and energy supply system, ensuring that it can maintain high-intensity movement for a long time without mechanical failure.
Before the Beijing Half Marathon, “Shandian” had undergone hundreds of simulated training sessions, including running on different road surfaces such as asphalt and gravel, and adapting to various weather conditions. The team also collected a large amount of data from top human runners, analyzing their running posture, breathing rhythm, and energy consumption, and integrated these data into the robot’s control system. This enabled “Shandian” to not only run fast but also run in a more scientific and efficient way.
The success of “Shandian” is not just a breakthrough in sports robots. It also has broad application prospects in other fields. For example, in the medical field, it can assist in physical therapy for patients with mobility impairments; in the rescue field, it can enter dangerous areas that are inaccessible to humans to carry out rescue tasks; in the industrial field, it can replace humans to complete high-intensity and high-risk operations. Experts believe that “Shandian’s” achievement will accelerate the development of the global humanoid robot industry and promote the integration of AI technology into various fields of society.
As the chief designer of “Shandian” said, “Our goal is not to compete with humans, but to use technology to help humans solve problems that are difficult to complete. The breakthrough of ‘Shandian’ is just the beginning; we will continue to work hard to develop more advanced humanoid robots that can better serve society.”
4. When did “Shandian” break the human half-marathon world record?
A. April 9, 2026. B. April 19, 2026. C. May 19, 2026. D. June 9, 2026.
5. What is special about “Shandian” compared with ordinary robots?
A. It is taller and heavier than ordinary robots.
B. It can perform simple repetitive movements.
C. It has advanced motion control and AI perception technology.
D. It can only run on asphalt roads.
6. How did the research team improve “Shandian’s” running ability?
A. By making it look exactly like a human runner.
B. By collecting and integrating data from top human runners.
C. By reducing its weight and height.
D. By using a simple energy supply system.
7. What is the chief designer’s goal of developing “Shandian”?

Nowadays, because of the popularity of modern traffic and modern communication technology, our world is becoming much smaller. Thus our life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but meanwhile it has brought new problems, the biggest one of which is pollution. For a long time ever since, man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution.
To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
8. What is the reason for the world to become much smaller?
A. The rise in pollution.
B. Science and technology development.
C. The earth is being polluted day and night.
D. The earth is blown away by the wind every year.
9. What kind of pollution is it when we “even hear it”?
A. Air pollution. B. Rubbish pollution. C. Noise pollution. D. Water pollution.
10. Why is air pollution the most serious pollution?
A. It makes much noise. B. It makes us angry more easily.
C. It makes our rivers and lakes dirty. D. It’s bad for all living things in the world.
11. What is the writer’s attitude toward stopping pollution?
A. Supportive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. (污染以多种方式产生。我们看到它,闻到它,喝它,甚至听到它。) ”可知,在四个选项中,只有C选项“噪音污染”是听得见的。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. (空气污染仍然是最严重的。它对世界上所有的生物都是有害的,但它不是唯一的一种污染)”可知,空气污染是最严重的污染是因为空气污染对所有的生物都有害。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time. (地球是我们的家。我们必须照顾它。这意味着要保持土地、水和空气的清洁。与此同时,我们必须解决污染的增加。)”可推知,作者对制止污染持支持态度。故选A。
D
Most of us don’t eat as much fruit and vegetables as we know we should, but that goal might now be a bit more achievable. Scientists in Spain have engineered a new “Golden Lettuce” with 30 times more nutrients than the regular green stuff.
Lettuce isn’t the most exciting vegetable, but you’ll often find it in sandwiches, wraps, stews and other meals as a way to cram in extra nutrients. But maybe there’s a way to get more health benefits out of less lettuce.
A team from the Research Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology(IBMCP)has now genetically engineered the humble lettuce to boost its nutrients. Specifically, they increased the levels of an antioxidant (抗氧化剂) called beta-carotene, which your body uses to make vitamin A. This is important for healthy vision, immune (免疫的)function, and cell growth, and is thought to be protective against Alzheimer’ s, heart disease and some kinds of cancer. The levels of beta-carotene in the Golden Lettuce leaves were up to 30 times higher than those of regular lettuce. Not only that, but these antioxidants were more bioaccessible too, meaning our digestive systems can absorb them more easily from our food. Higher amounts of beta-carotene gives the leaves a striking yellow color, hence the nickname Golden Lettuce.
Increasing those levels wasn’t completely straightforward, however. Beta-carotene is normally produced in a plant’s chloroplasts (叶绿体), the cellular structures that perform photosynthesis (光合作用) — but if you jam too much in there, it reduces the plant’s ability to gain energy from sunlight. So, the team found a way to move the antioxidant into different parts of the plant cells.
“Our work has successfully produced beta-carotene and made it build up in specific parts of cells where it is not normally found by combining biotechnological techniques and treatments with high light intensity,” said Manual Rodríguez Concepción, lead author of the study.
This Golden Lettuce could soon join a genetically enhanced salad with more nutritious radishes and peas, and antioxidant-rich purple tomatoes and potatoes.
12. What does the underlined phrase “cram in” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Forcefully push. B. Gradually reduce.
C. Carefully measure. D. Casually ignore.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How beta-carotene is created.
B. How beta-carotene is absorbed.
C. Why Golden Lettuce looks yellow.
D. Why Golden Lettuce is more nutritious.
14. Why did the team move beta-carotene out of chloroplasts?
A. To store it better at other parts of cells.
B. To make beta-carotene easier to be produced.
C. To protect the plant’s solar energy harvesting.
D. To increase the plant’s ability to perform photosynthesis.
15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. People prefer salads with the Golden Lettuce over others.
B. People will soon be able to buy the Golden Lettuce in the market.
C. There will be more genetically engineered vegetables in the future.
D. Golden Lettuce are more nutritious than purple tomatoes and potatoes.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了西班牙科学家通过基因工程培育出了一种 “黄金生菜”,其营养成分比普通生菜高 30 倍,以及这种生菜的相关特性和培育过程。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Lettuce isn’t the most exciting vegetable, but you’ll often find it in sandwiches, wraps, stews and other meals as a way to cram in extra nutrients. (生菜不是最令人兴奋的蔬菜,但你会经常在三明治、卷饼、炖菜和其他食物中发现它,作为一种cram in额外营养的方式。)” 可知,人们把生菜加入到其他食物中是为了增加营养,“cram in” 意思是 “强行塞入”。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段 “A team from the Research Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology (IBMCP) has now genetically engineered the humble lettuce to boost its nutrients. Specifically, they increased the levels of an antioxidant (抗氧化剂) called beta-carotene, which your body uses to make vitamin A. This is important for healthy vision, immune (免疫的) function, and cell growth, and is thought to be protective against Alzheimer’ s, heart disease and some kinds of cancer. The levels of beta-carotene in the Golden Lettuce leaves were up to 30 times higher than those of regular lettuce. Not only that, but these antioxidants were more bioaccessible too, meaning our digestive systems can absorb them more easily from our food. Higher amounts of beta-carotene gives the leaves a striking yellow color, hence the nickname Golden Lettuce. (来自植物分子和细胞生物学研究所(IBMCP)的一个研究小组现在已经对不起眼的生菜进行了基因改造,以增加其营养成分。具体来说,它们增加了一种叫做β -胡萝卜素的抗氧化剂的水平,这种抗氧化剂是你的身体用来制造维生素a的。这对健康的视力、免疫功能和细胞生长很重要,而且被认为可以预防老年痴呆症、心脏病和某些癌症。黄金生菜中β -胡萝卜素的含量是普通生菜的30倍。不仅如此,这些抗氧化剂也更容易被生物吸收,这意味着我们的消化系统可以更容易地从食物中吸收它们。大量的β -胡萝卜素使叶子呈醒目的黄色,因此被称为黄金生菜。)可推知,第三段主要讲了金色生菜更有营养的原因。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Beta-carotene is normally produced in a plant’s chloroplasts (叶绿体), the cellular structures that perform photosynthesis (光合作用) — but if you jam too much in there, it reduces the plant’s ability to gain energy from sunlight. So, the team found a way to move the antioxidant into different parts of the plant cells. (β-胡萝卜素通常在植物的叶绿体中产生,叶绿体是进行光合作用的细胞结构 —— 但如果你在那里塞入太多,就会降低植物从阳光中获取能量的能力。所以,研究小组找到了一种方法,将这种抗氧化剂转移到植物细胞的不同部分。)” 可知,将 β- 胡萝卜素从叶绿体中转移出来是为了保护植物获取太阳能的能力。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This Golden Lettuce could soon join a genetically enhanced salad with more nutritious radishes and peas, and antioxidant - rich purple tomatoes and potatoes. (这种黄金生菜可能很快就会加入到一种基因改良的沙拉中,这种沙拉还包括更有营养的萝卜和豌豆,以及富含抗氧化剂的紫色西红柿和土豆。)” 可推知,未来将会有更多的基因工程蔬菜。故选C。

I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____16____ I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays.
Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine. But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____17____ That had never happened before.
Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____18____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day.
____19____ On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding.
By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____20____ Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds.
A. But lately, I noticed the disadvantage it carried.
B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.
C. Some mornings were more reflective than active.
D. It made me realize my dependence on my phone.
E. I even finished a chapter before checking the time.
F. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.
G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了中国动画电影《哪吒 2》在吸引全球观众的同时,展示了中国日益增长的文化自信。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:这部奇幻冒险电影将传统神话与现代叙事结合起来,对于青少年观众来说,它既具有教育意义又具有娱乐性。固定搭配为 “combine...with...”(把…… 与…… 结合起来)或 “combine...and...”(把…… 和…… 结合)。故填with/and。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这部奇幻冒险电影将传统神话与现代叙事结合起来,对于青少年观众来说,它既具有教育意义又具有娱乐性。句中已有谓语动词“combines”,所以“make” 要用非谓语形式。“make”与主语“This fantasy adventure”之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词 making作结果状语。故填making。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这部电影关于自我认同的核心主题深深触动了年轻人。这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词 “theme”,“center”是名词,意为“中心”,其形容词形式“central” 意为 “中心的;主要的;核心的”。故填central。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:和它的前一个版本一样,它讲述了哪吒在平衡他的超自然力量和人类情感的旅程 —— 这是对努力应对社会期望的青少年的一个隐喻。此处表示 “一个对于青少年努力应对社会期望的隐喻”,表泛指,且“metaphor” 是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词 a。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:通过生动的动画和幽默的对话,这部电影在没有听起来过于说教的情况下,传授了关于勇气和友谊的宝贵经验。句子描述的是电影《哪吒 2》的一般特征和情况,属于客观事实,所以应用一般现在时。主语“the movie” 是第三人称单数,根据一般现在时中主语是第三人称单数时,谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式的规则,所以谓语动词 “teach” 要用 teaches。故填teaches。
【41题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:改进后的 3D 效果创造出了宏大战斗的惊险场景。“effect” 是可数名词,意为 “效果;影响”,根据后面的谓语动词“create” 是原形,可知主语应该是复数形式,所以这里要用 “effect” 的复数形式 effects。故填effects。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:特别令人印象深刻的是对神话场景的详细描述,比如天宫,这有助于国际观众理解中国传统文化。后面“____ help international audiences understand traditional Chinese culture”是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是 “the detailed descriptions of mythological settings”,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,所以用关系代词 which。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。 句意:作为中国民族复兴时代有价值的文化产品,它不仅娱乐了人们,还激励年轻人欣赏他们的独特之处。“inspire sb. to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为 “激励某人做某事”。故填to appreciate。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着中国动画继续获得全球认可,它们在一个长期由西方工作室主导的行业中提供了新的视角。“gain”是及物动词,后面需要接名词作宾语,“recognize”是动词,意为 “认出;认可;承认”,其名词形式 “recognition” 意为 “认可;承认”,故填recognition。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:随着中国动画继续获得全球认可,它们在一个长期由西方工作室主导的行业中提供了新的视角。“industry”(行业)与 “dominate”(主导;控制)之间是被动关系,即 “行业被主导”,所以用过去分词 dominated 作后置定语修饰 “industry”。故填 dominated。

Badminton VS skipping rope
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Badminton VS skipping rope
As for which sport is suitable for the break-time, I strongly recommend badminton as the ideal break-time activity over skipping rope. My choice is based on several key advantages.
Firstly, badminton fosters valuable social interaction. It requires a partner, encouraging students to play together, communicate, and build teamwork during the short break, turning exercise into a shared, enjoyable social experience. Secondly, badminton is highly adaptable. You don’t need a full court; any small open space, even a hallway, suffices for a quick rally. It offers fun, fitness, and friendship efficiently within the break-time limit.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In fifth grade, my best friend Mia and I made matching friendship bracelets (手镯) in our favorite colors — blue for her, pink for me. Hers was decorated with a tiny star ornament (装饰物) she’d gotten for her birthday, and she never took it off. We promised to wear them forever, a symbol of our unbreakable friendship. Every time we hung out, she’d turn the star over and over again and say, “This bracelet’s not just string (绳子) — it’s us.”
Last month, our class had a talent show. Mia was going to play the violin, and she asked me to help her practice after school. On the day of the practice, she left her bracelet on my desk when she went to get her violin. My classmate Zoe, who loved handmade items, saw it and said, “Wow, that star is so cool! Can I just hold it for a second?” Before I could think, I handed it to her. But Zoe’s hands were sticky from eating a candy; she dropped it by accident, and the bracelet fell to the floor. The star broke, and the string we made came a little loose at the end.
Fear and anxiety shot through me. I quickly picked up the broken bracelet and hid it in my pencil case, my heart racing. When Mia came back, I avoided her eyes and lied, saying I hadn’t seen her bracelet since she left. The rest of the practice was a mess — I couldn’t focus on her music, and Mia kept looking at her empty wrist, not sure what was wrong.
That night, I couldn’t fall asleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Mia’s sad face. The next day at school, I avoided her as much as I could. But when she walked up to me at lunch, her eyes red, I knew I couldn’t hide it anymore. I pulled the broken bracelet out of my bag and told her everything. I said sorry, promising I’d buy her a new decoration in the shape of a star, a new bracelet, anything.
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。
Mia stared (盯着) at the broken bracelet for a long time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That afternoon, we tried our best to remake the bracelet.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
Mia stared (盯着) at the broken bracelet for a long time. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, and I felt my heart sink further with each passing second. Finally, she looked up at me, her voice barely above a whisper. “It’s not just the bracelet, you know,” she said softly. “It’s what it represents. But I know you didn’t do it on purpose.” Her words made me feel even worse, but also a glimmer of hope. I reached out, tentatively touching her arm. “I’ll fix it, Mia. I promise,” I vowed, determined to make things right between us.
That afternoon, we tried our best to remake the bracelet. We went to the craft store and bought new materials, including a shiny new star ornament that was even more beautiful than the original. Back at my house, we sat at the kitchen table, carefully threading the string and attaching the star. Mia’s fingers were steady as she worked, but I could see the sadness lingering in her eyes. As we finished the last knot, she looked at the bracelet and then at me, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. “It’s different, but it’s still us,” she said, and I knew that our friendship, though tested, was still unbreakable.

On April 19, 2026, the Beijing Half Marathon witnessed a historic moment: the domestic humanoid robot “Shandian” crossed the finish line in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, breaking the human half-marathon world record. This remarkable achievement has attracted global attention, marking a major breakthrough in China’s humanoid robot technology.
“Shandian” is independently developed by a Chinese scientific research team, with a height of 1.75 meters and a weight of 65 kilograms, closely resembling the physical characteristics of an adult human. Unlike ordinary robots that can only perform simple repetitive movements, “Shandian” is equipped with advanced motion control systems and AI perception technology. It can adjust its running posture in real time according to road conditions, avoid obstacles, and even maintain a stable rhythm when tired, just like a professional runner. The research team spent three years optimizing the robot’s joint design and energy supply system, ensuring that it can maintain high-intensity movement for a long time without mechanical failure.
Before the Beijing Half Marathon, “Shandian” had undergone hundreds of simulated training sessions, including running on different road surfaces such as asphalt and gravel, and adapting to various weather conditions. The team also collected a large amount of data from top human runners, analyzing their running posture, breathing rhythm, and energy consumption, and integrated these data into the robot’s control system. This enabled “Shandian” to not only run fast but also run in a more scientific and efficient way.
The success of “Shandian” is not just a breakthrough in sports robots. It also has broad application prospects in other fields. For example, in the medical field, it can assist in physical therapy for patients with mobility impairments; in the rescue field, it can enter dangerous areas that are inaccessible to humans to carry out rescue tasks; in the industrial field, it can replace humans to complete high-intensity and high-risk operations. Experts believe that “Shandian’s” achievement will accelerate the development of the global humanoid robot industry and promote the integration of AI technology into various fields of society.
As the chief designer of “Shandian” said, “Our goal is not to compete with humans, but to use technology to help humans solve problems that are difficult to complete. The breakthrough of ‘Shandian’ is just the beginning; we will continue to work hard to develop more advanced humanoid robots that can better serve society.”
4. When did “Shandian” break the human half-marathon world record?
A. April 9, 2026. B. April 19, 2026. C. May 19, 2026. D. June 9, 2026.
5. What is special about “Shandian” compared with ordinary robots?
A. It is taller and heavier than ordinary robots.
B. It can perform simple repetitive movements.
C. It has advanced motion control and AI perception technology.
D. It can only run on asphalt roads.
6. How did the research team improve “Shandian’s” running ability?
A. By making it look exactly like a human runner.
B. By collecting and integrating data from top human runners.
C. By reducing its weight and height.
D. By using a simple energy supply system.
7. What is the chief designer’s goal of developing “Shandian”?
A. To compete with human runners and win more races.
B. To show China’s technological strength to the world.
C. To use technology to help humans solve difficult problems.
D. To make a lot of money from robot sales.
C
Nowadays, because of the popularity of modern traffic and modern communication technology, our world is becoming much smaller. Thus our life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but meanwhile it has brought new problems, the biggest one of which is pollution. For a long time ever since, man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution.
To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
8. What is the reason for the world to become much smaller?
A. The rise in pollution.
B. Science and technology development.
C. The earth is being polluted day and night.
D. The earth is blown away by the wind every year.
9. What kind of pollution is it when we “even hear it”?
A. Air pollution. B. Rubbish pollution. C. Noise pollution. D. Water pollution.
10. Why is air pollution the most serious pollution?
A. It makes much noise. B. It makes us angry more easily.
C. It makes our rivers and lakes dirty. D. It’s bad for all living things in the world.
11. What is the writer’s attitude toward stopping pollution?
A. Supportive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
D
Most of us don’t eat as much fruit and vegetables as we know we should, but that goal might now be a bit more achievable. Scientists in Spain have engineered a new “Golden Lettuce” with 30 times more nutrients than the regular green stuff.
Lettuce isn’t the most exciting vegetable, but you’ll often find it in sandwiches, wraps, stews and other meals as a way to cram in extra nutrients. But maybe there’s a way to get more health benefits out of less lettuce.
A team from the Research Institute for Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology(IBMCP)has now genetically engineered the humble lettuce to boost its nutrients. Specifically, they increased the levels of an antioxidant (抗氧化剂) called beta-carotene, which your body uses to make vitamin A. This is important for healthy vision, immune (免疫的)function, and cell growth, and is thought to be protective against Alzheimer’ s, heart disease and some kinds of cancer. The levels of beta-carotene in the Golden Lettuce leaves were up to 30 times higher than those of regular lettuce. Not only that, but these antioxidants were more bioaccessible too, meaning our digestive systems can absorb them more easily from our food. Higher amounts of beta-carotene gives the leaves a striking yellow color, hence the nickname Golden Lettuce.
Increasing those levels wasn’t completely straightforward, however. Beta-carotene is normally produced in a plant’s chloroplasts (叶绿体), the cellular structures that perform photosynthesis (光合作用) — but if you jam too much in there, it reduces the plant’s ability to gain energy from sunlight. So, the team found a way to move the antioxidant into different parts of the plant cells.
“Our work has successfully produced beta-carotene and made it build up in specific parts of cells where it is not normally found by combining biotechnological techniques and treatments with high light intensity,” said Manual Rodríguez Concepción, lead author of the study.
This Golden Lettuce could soon join a genetically enhanced salad with more nutritious radishes and peas, and antioxidant-rich purple tomatoes and potatoes.

I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. ____16____ I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays.
Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine. But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. ____17____ That had never happened before.
Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. ____18____ On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day.
____19____ On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding.
By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. ____20____ Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds.
A. But lately, I noticed the disadvantage it carried.
B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.
C. Some mornings were more reflective than active.
D. It made me realize my dependence on my phone.
E. I even finished a chapter before checking the time.
F. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.
G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In fifth grade, my best friend Mia and I made matching friendship bracelets (手镯) in our favorite colors — blue for her, pink for me. Hers was decorated with a tiny star ornament (装饰物) she’d gotten for her birthday, and she never took it off. We promised to wear them forever, a symbol of our unbreakable friendship. Every time we hung out, she’d turn the star over and over again and say, “This bracelet’s not just string (绳子) — it’s us.”
Last month, our class had a talent show. Mia was going to play the violin, and she asked me to help her practice after school. On the day of the practice, she left her bracelet on my desk when she went to get her violin. My classmate Zoe, who loved handmade items, saw it and said, “Wow, that star is so cool! Can I just hold it for a second?” Before I could think, I handed it to her. But Zoe’s hands were sticky from eating a candy; she dropped it by accident, and the bracelet fell to the floor. The star broke, and the string we made came a little loose at the end.
Fear and anxiety shot through me. I quickly picked up the broken bracelet and hid it in my pencil case, my heart racing. When Mia came back, I avoided her eyes and lied, saying I hadn’t seen her bracelet since she left. The rest of the practice was a mess — I couldn’t focus on her music, and Mia kept looking at her empty wrist, not sure what was wrong.
That night, I couldn’t fall asleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Mia’s sad face. The next day at school, I avoided her as much as I could. But when she walked up to me at lunch, her eyes red, I knew I couldn’t hide it anymore. I pulled the broken bracelet out of my bag and told her everything. I said sorry, promising I’d buy her a new decoration in the shape of a star, a new bracelet, anything.
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。
Mia stared (盯着) at the broken bracelet for a long time.

That afternoon, we tried our best to remake the bracelet.
