By fifth grade,Ebright had collected all 25 butterfly species native to his hometown.That might have been the end until his mother gave him The Travels of Monarch X.The book encouraged 英语第3页（共8页） young readers to label migrating monarchs(a kind of butterfly)for scientific research,and Ebright took part in the project with great enthusiasm.For several years.he raised thousands of monarchs in his basement.A county fair loss taught him a erucial lesson:real science requires genuine experiments,not just neat displays. In high school,Ebright focused on twelve tiny gold spots on monarch pupae().Most people thought they were decorative,but he assumed they released a hormone (essential for development.He wrote to Dr.Frederick A.Urquhart,built a device,and proved his theory,which helped him win first place and advance to the Intemational Science and Engineering Fair.His pioneering work provided the first concrete evidence of gene switching in a multicellular organism, laying a comerstone for modem genetics. At twenty-two,Ebright and his college roommate published a groundbreaking theory on how cells read DNA blueprints in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Today,as a Board of Govemors Professor at Rutgers University,he leads research on bacterial transcription and develops new drugs against tuberculosis.Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he has received multiple awards.From a curious boy with a butterfly net to a world-renowned hiochemist,Ebright proved that passion,persistence,and a supportive mother matter far more than alent. 24.Which words can best describe Ebright's mother? A.Warm-hearted and humorous. B.Far-sighted and inspiring. C.Ambitious and hardworking. D.Outgoing and creative. 25.What led Ebright to start his scientific research? A.The failure at a county fair. B.A collection of local butterflies. C.A book given by his mother. D.The guidance from college professors. 26.What was the key to Ebright's winning first place in a fair? A.Making neat and beautiful displays. B.Doing real and reliable experiments. C.Collecting more butterfly species. D.Getting constant support from his teacher. 27.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.The Power of a Mother's Love B.A Great Discovery in Insect Research C.Richard Ebright:The Making of a Scientist D.Exploration:From Butterflies to Genetic Research C Bananas are known as one of the most popular fruits in the world.However,a new survey shows that their peels might be a powerful fertilizer().A study led by Nokuthula Khanyile of the University of Mpumalanga in South Africa,published in Agriculture,reviewed over 120 studies on the use of banana peels as a fertilizer.A definite trend emerged:when used as a fertilizer,this organic waste gives a huge boost to plants. According to Earth.com,global production of bananas reaches about 116 million tons annually, which means a large number of banana peels are generated each year.Most people throw these peels away,but research confirms that they can help other plants grow better. Bananas are rich in essential nutrients that plants need.These nutrients are the same primary elements found in commercial fertilizers used by farmers.It is hardly startling that the survey sbowed plants grown with banana peel fertilizers were taller and leafier,and bore fruits faster than those grown without them. The methods for turning peels into fertilizers vary.According to Optimist Daily,some studies tumed the peels into a slurry()with additives.Other studies dried the peels and then ground them into a powder to be mixed into the soil.In another study,the peels were fermented() with coffee grounds,which allows nutrients to be released into soil at a slower rate.All of these methods showed promise.The only ineffective method was turning banana peels into biochar-a 英语第4页（共8页） charcoal-like powder made by heating organic waste-which did not seem to help plant growth Modern farming depends heavily on commercial fertilizers produced in factories that burn fossil fuels.Nitrogen runoff from these fertilizers pollutes water and creates algae blooms,harmful to aquatic ecosystems.Banana peels are a natural waste product.No fossil fuels are needed to process them and they release nutrients much more slowly than commercial fertilizers.This slower release means less risk of runoff and less pollution.From any perspective,using banana-peel-based fertilizers is a win-win for farmers and the environment. 28.What can be inferred about banana peels from the first two paragraphs? A.Their value has been largely ignored. B.Their use requires expensive equipment. C.Their production is decreasing each year. D.Their nutrients differ from commercial fertilizers. 29.What does the underlined word "startling"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Amusing.B.Appealing. C.Satisfying. D.Surprising. 30.What is one advantage mentioned of using banana peels as a fertilizer? A.Labor-intensive. B.Quick-making. C.Environment-friendly. D.Soil-enriching. 31.Where is the text probably taken from? A.A biology textbook. B.A sales advertisement. C.A fashion report. D.A newspaper column. D Meritocracy(精英管理制度)is a central concept in sociology,referring to a system where individuals'success is determined by their ability and skills rather than social background or wealth.Originally introduced by Michael Young in 1958,it has become a widely discussed ideal- praised for its promise of equality yet widely debated due to its practical limitations. The key principles are based on "ability-based success",including equal opportunity for all, emphasis on individual achievement and responsibility,competition as a driver of excellence,and focus on efficiency.These principles imply that through healthy competition,the most capable and hardworking individuals rise to the top,with success viewed as a result of one's own efforts rather than family connections. The main benefit lies in fairness and social mobility.By rewarding talent and hard work over privilege(),meritocracy encourages individuals to invest in developing their abilities and striving for improvement.This encouragement inspires motivation and innovation,develops a sense of control over one's destiny,and drives societal dynamism.Most importantly,it offers a pathway for disadvantaged individuals to move up the social ladder,breaking cycles of intergenerational poverty through personal efforts. However,meritocracy has significant disadvantages.First,it can reinforce existing inequalities:privileged individuals often have better access to quality education,resources,and social networks,giving an unfair head start.This weakness arises from the unrealistic assumption that everyone starts from the same line,ignoring systemic barriers such as poverty or unequal educational access.Second,meritocracy tends to define competence narrowly,prioritizing intellectual ability or economic productivity while overlooking qualities like empathy,creativity or teamwork.Additionally,its emphasis on individual competition can lead to intense psychological stress and extreme individualism,harming social unity. In conclusion,meritocracy promotes equal opportunity,individual effort and competition.It offers fairness and social mobility but reinforces inequality,ignores systemic barriers,and defines abilities too narrowly.Given these factors,meritocracy should be abandoned as a social ideal-it is false and encourages selfishness and indifference to the unfortunate. 英语第5页（共8页） 32.What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A.Individuals'competition and efficiency.B.The link between success and effort. C.Personal achievement and responsibility.D.Meritocracy's principles and significance. 33.What can be inferred about meritocracy? A.It may cause stress and weaken the sense of community. B.It assumes success largely depends on social background. C.It values emotional intelligence more than intellectual ability. D.It claims family wealth fails to affect educational opportunities. 34.How does the author develop the text? A.By listing some facts. B.By comparing pros and cons. C.By citing expert opinions. D.By explaining a definition. 35.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To question a major concept in sociology. B.To introduce the history of a sociological concept. C.To discuss effective ways to promote social equality. D.To show how people can succeed in a meritocratic system. 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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A hedgehog's back is covered with sharp quills().Though they defend the hedgehog against enemies,they bring trouble in winter:when hedgehogs try to gather for warmth,they hurt each other.36 If they stay close,they suffer pain.They need to find a safe distance where the cold is tolerable and the quills do not reach. Humans face a similar dilemma().As social animals,we long for friendship,intimacy (and belonging.Such social needs are basic to human well-being.Being alone leads to stress,depression,and even disease.Yet when we get close to someone,emotionally or physically,we may notice differences in beliefs,values,or habits that hurt or push us away. 37 Arthur Schopenhauer famously used this hedgehog dilemma to describe the problem of human intimacy.38 The solution,according to him,is to find a"mean distance"-politeness,good manners,and respect for others'privacy.This safe distance seems to strike a perfect balance between connection and comfort. 39 As Schopenhauer noted,the need for warmth will be only imperfectly satisfied,but at least the pain is avoided.Moreover,those who possess enough "internal warmth"-who can sustain themselves without others-will likely prefer to stay away from society altogether,avoiding both giving and receiving pain.The unsatisfactory truth is that we may never form deep bonds without some measure of hurt. Thus,the hedgehog's dilemma has no perfect solution.We must choose between the cold of isolation and the suffering of intimacy,or settle for the compromised warmth of polite distance. 40 The wisest path depends on how much inner warmth we possess and how much pain we are willing to tolerate to keep social bonds. A.If they stay apart,they freeze. B.Each option carries its own cost. C.However,this solution is imperfect. D.These emotional "quills"make intimacy risky. E.None of us can survive on our own,so it's important to cooperate with others. F.He proposed the only way to solve this dilemma-avoiding any contact with others. G.He argued the socialization need brings us together,but our unpleasant qualities drive us apart. 英语第6页（共8页） 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，选出可以填人空白处的最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Trisha and Simi had been best friends since childhood.41 to have been admitted to the same high school,they promised to support each other whatever happened.However,everything changed once the new term began.

Our first meeting in the school cafe confirmed my fears.Lily,the most outgoing,arrived with a notebook,“A concert！Card-making！A tea party！”Quiet Mark sat across from her,.writing in a vom notebook.Jake and Mia were glued to their phones.When asked for input,Jake just shrugged,“Whatever,,”and Mia nodded vaguely..I thought to myself,“This will be a disaster.” After more meetings,we settled on a plan:a small concert led by Lily,paired with handmade eards from Mark,whose artwork vas lovely.But a week before the event,we got a call:half the seniors had doctor's appointments and couldn't attend."We can't change the date now,but we don't want to leave anyone out,"Jake said,while Mia sighed.Lily suggested adding a craft,but Jake argued we had no time or extra supplies.Mark stayed silent,looking at his cards. The night before,we gathered in the library,thick with tension."We're supposed to help them,not give up!"Lily insisted.Jake rolled his eyes,"It's8:00 p.m.Where do we get extra supplies now?"Just as hope faded,Mark spoke softly,"What if we split up?"He then suggested Jake and he run the card activity at the center,while Lily and Mia visit the seniors in their rooms, bringing cards and singing.“I can move between both,”I added,.“to take photos and help out..” The idea hung in the air and,after what seemed like a century,finally settled with everyone's quiet acceptance. 注意：1.写作词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day,we split up as scheduled.
