A sudden car accident took his father’s life and left his mother seriously injured. Alex had to take care of his mother and his younger sister while attending school. The family’s savings were running out, and for a while, Alex considered dropping out to work full-time. But his mother, though weak, refused to let him give up. “Your father wanted you to finish school,” she whispered from her hospital bed. Those words stayed with Alex. He decided to fight. Every morning, he woke up at 5:00 a.m. to prepare breakfast, then walked his sister to the neighbor’s house before running to school. After school, he worked three hours at a local grocery store. Evenings were for homework, often done by candlelight when electricity was cut off. The hardest part was not the tiredness, but the loneliness. His classmates were hanging out or playing sports, while Alex was rushing between work and home. Sometimes he felt like giving up. One night, he found an old notebook of his father’s, filled with drawings of birds. On the last page, his father had written: “A bird learns to fly not because it is brave, but because it has no choice.” Alex realized that he, too, had no choice but to keep going. Slowly, things improved. His mother recovered enough to walk again. A teacher learned about his situation and helped him apply for a scholarship. Alex’s grades, which had fallen to the bottom of his class, began to rise. By the end of the year, he was among the top ten students. Four years later, he became the first in his family to attend university, studying medicine to help others like his mother. Now a doctor, Alex often tells his patients: “Difficulties are not walls. They are just heavy doors. They will open if you keep pushing.” 4. What made Alex decide not to drop out of school? A. His father’s words in a notebook. B. His mother’s encouragement in hospital. C. The need to take care of his sister. D. The teacher’s offer of a scholarship. 5. What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Walls B. Patients. C. Doors. D. Difficulties. 6. Which of the following best describes Alex? A. Talented and proud. B. Kind but weak-willed. C. Lonely and helpless. D. Responsible and determined. 7. What message does the story mainly convey? A. Family love is the most important thing in life. B. Hard work always leads to immediate success. C. One can overcome hardship with persistence and support. D. It is better to rely on others than to struggle alone. C Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a topic of science fiction. In recent years, it has begun to play an increasingly important role in healthcare, from diagnosing diseases to predicting patient outcomes. One of the most promising applications is in medical imaging. Traditionally, doctors examine X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs by eye, which can be time-consuming and sometimes leads to human error. AI systems, however, can be trained on thousands of medical images to recognize patterns that might be invisible to the human eye. For example, a study published in 2023 showed that an AI model detected breast cancer in mammograms with 94.5% accuracy, compared to 88.2% for human radiologists. Moreover, the AI completed its analysis in just 30 seconds, while a doctor might take several minutes. But AI is not meant to replace doctors. Instead, it serves as a powerful assistant. Dr. Liu Wei, a radiologist at Beijing United Hospital, explains: “AI helps us double-check our findings. It catches things we might miss, especially when we are tired after a long day. This gives us more confidence in our diagnoses.” In fact, many hospitals are now using AI as a second reader, reducing misdiagnosis rates by nearly 20%. However, AI in medicine still faces challenges. One major issue is data privacy—patients’ medical images contain sensitive information. Another is the “black box” problem: sometimes even the engineers who build AI systems cannot explain exactly how the AI reaches a decision. This makes some doctors hesitant to fully trust it. Despite these difficulties, researchers are working on more transparent and secure AI models. As technology improves, AI is likely to become a standard tool in hospitals worldwide, not to replace human care, but to strengthen it. 8. What is the main advantage of AI in medical imaging mentioned in the passage? A. It can replace doctors completely. B. It is cheaper than human examination. C. It works faster and sometimes more accurately. D. It can take X-rays and CT scans automatically. 9. How does Dr. Liu Wei feel about using AI in his work? A. He thinks AI is too complex to be useful. B. He believes AI increases diagnostic confidence. C. He worries that AI will take away his job. D. He considers AI less accurate than human eyes. 10. Which of the following is a challenge for AI in medicine according to the passage? A. AI cannot process medical images. B. AI’s decision-making process is not always clear. C. Patients refuse to be examined by AI. D. AI takes longer than human doctors. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of AI in healthcare? A. Optimistic but cautious. B. Highly doubtful. C. Completely indifferent. D. Strongly opposed. D Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental crises of our time. Every year, over 300 million tons of plastic waste are generated globally, and less than 10% is recycled. The rest ends up in landfills, rivers, and oceans, where it can take hundreds of years to break down. Microplastics — tiny pieces smaller than 5mm — have been found in drinking water, seafood, and even human blood, raising serious health concerns. Traditional solutions, such as mechanical recycling and incineration, have significant limitations. Recycling degrades plastic quality, and burning releases toxic gases. Scientists have therefore been searching for more efficient and eco-friendly alternatives. A promising breakthrough comes from an unexpected source: nature itself. In 2016, researchers in Japan discovered a bacterium called Ideonella sakaiensis that could “eat” PET, a common type of plastic used in bottles and clothing. This bacterium produces two enzymes that break PET down into its basic chemical building blocks, which can then be used to create new, high-quality plastic. The entire process takes only a few days instead of centuries. Since then, scientists have engineered even more powerful versions of these enzymes, increasing their breakdown speed by 20%. However, applying this technology on a large scale remains challenging. The enzymes work best at a specific temperature (around 30°C) and pH level. Furthermore, producing enough enzymes for industrial use is still expensive. Nevertheless, several start-ups are already testing pilot plants. Some researchers predict that within a decade, enzyme-based recycling could handle 50% of PET waste worldwide. While this solution is not a magic cure for all plastic pollution, it offers real hope. As Dr. Sarah Chen, an environmental biotechnologist, puts it: “We cannot clean up the past without changing the present. But for the first time, we have a tool that turns waste back into a resource.” 12. What problem with traditional plastic disposal methods is mentioned in the passage? A. They produce microplastics. B. They are too expensive for most countries. C. They lower plastic quality or release harmful gases. D. They take hundreds of years to complete. 13. What do we know about the bacterium Ideonella sakaiensis? A. It was created by scientists in a laboratory. B. It breaks down PET much faster than natural decomposition. C. It only works on plastic bottles, not on clothing. D. It has already been widely used in industry. 14. The underlined word “pilot” in paragraph 4 most likely means ________. A. small-scale and experimental B. large and fully operational C. completely theoretical D. dangerously polluted 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To warn readers about the dangers of microplastics in blood. B. To compare different methods of recycling plastic waste. C. To introduce a scientific solution to plastic pollution and its challenges. D. To argue that plastic production should be completely banned. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Simple Ways to Build a Healthier Lifestyle Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t require extreme diets or expensive gym memberships.

Sally had been playing football all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players in her bright orange uniform, chasing the black and white ball across the grassy field. As much as shewed, though, Sally still had not scored one single goal. Before each game, they had a practice session. The coach showed Sally and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Sally was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn't kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit football and join a different club. “Don’t give up,” said the coach. But it was half-time, and Sally was feeling frustrated (沮丧). She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. She sipped at her cola and pouted (撅嘴). The break was over and the referee blew his whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Sally bent, tied up her shoelace and heard her mother whisper in her ear. “Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the ball. Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it.” Sally stood up and took a deep breath. Even if she didn't get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of. So she smiled at her mother and headed to her position. The whistle blew, and the game continued. The score was tied with one goal each. The green team was pretty good, but Sally's orange team was fast. The girls' ponytails bounced as they ran, with many feet kicking frantically (拼命地) at the ball when it came near them. It was a rather boring game and Sally's heart was no longer in it. 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。 Sally started daydreaming about joining other school clubs. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Recalling her mother's words.

Personally, I think poetry is a beautiful way to express deep feelings and reflect on life. If I have to recommend one poet, it would definitely be Li Bai, whose poems are full of imagination and romanticism. Known as the ‌“Immortal of Poetry”, he created works that can not only help you learn Chinese but also give you a glimpse into ancient Chinese culture. I hope we can try writing our own poems and share them with each other in the future. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】Sally started daydreaming about joining other school clubs. She could be a member of the hip hop club, which her best friend Tracy kept talking about. She imagined herself dancing on stage of a big auditorium with thousands of people cheering for her. She could also try a different sport, like jogging or cycling. Anyway, football would be her last choice. Just as her mind was wandering, she saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was her mother. “Stay focused. You can do it.” Recalling her mother’s words, Sally was woken from her daydream. At that very moment, her teammate passed the ball to her. She took control of it and dribbled it between her feet, moving forward toward the net of the green team. She passed a few players and was soon positioned right in front of the net. Focused on the ball, she kicked it as hard as she could. The referee blew her whistle. “Goal!”. Sally’s team won. Her mom was right. All she had to do was stay focused. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
