B It took two years of training and effort, but in February, Mia, a 12-year-old girl, finally reached her goal of becoming the youngest female Master Scuba Diver in the US. This title represents a level of skill that even many adult divers never reach. And most divers only get the basic Open Water Diver certificate. When Mia was young, she learned that her mother had become an Open Water Diver in high school. Mia decided she wanted to become a diver, too. However, the youngest age to start training is 10. On her 10th birthday, Mia began her journey by getting her Open Water Diver certificate. Her instructors were impressed with her energy and drive. “She sets her mind to something and gets it done,” said Seamus Hastings, one of her instructors. Over the next two years, Mia took several advanced courses, including first aid, how to find her way underwater, and how to identify fish. She also finished 78 dives, far more than the 50 required for the Master Scuba Diver title. But Mia had to wait for her last two courses—Advanced Open Water Diver and Rescue Diver. That’s because you have to be at least 12 years old to earn these certificates. In February, Mia and her family traveled to Mexico. A week later, Mia passed the Advanced Open Water Diver course after completing her first night dive. The next day of her birthday, when she was officially 12, Mia finished the Rescue Diver course. The hardest part of the course was raising an injured adult diver to the surface and helping them breathe again. Mia found this challenging but managed to succeed. Mia is proud of her achievement but she doesn’t plan to stop there. She hopes to continue her diving education and become an ocean biologist in the future. She’s particularly interested in labeling and tracking sharks. 24. What inspired Mia to be a diver? A. Her family’s requirement. B. Her desire to explore the ocean. C. Her mother’s experience. D. Her interest in being an ocean biologist. 25. What made Mia delay taking her last two courses? A. Age restriction. B. Lack of required training. C. Financial issues. D. Academic commitments. 26. In what order did Mia complete her diving courses? A. Night dive, Rescue Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver. B. Rescue Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver, night dive. C. Advanced Open Water Diver, night dive, Rescue Diver. D. Night dive, Advanced Open Water Diver, Rescue Diver. 27. Which of the following best describes Mia? A. Open-minded and talented. B. Dynamic and determined. C. Responsible and humble. D. Strong-willed and sympathetic. C Implants coated in bacteria could be used during bone fracture (骨折) surgery to help speed recovery and prevent post-operative infections. When someone suffers a fracture, surgery is sometimes needed to help it mend correctly. A common technique is to use a metal implant to help broken bones stay in a line while recovering. The bone slowly grows together with the metal as it mends. Lei Tan at Hubei University in Wuhan, China, and his team tested whether coating an implant in the bacterium, Lactobacillus casei (L. casei), which is found in yogurt, could improve recovery. This species is known to control the immune environment, which could support tissue generation, and to release antibacterial substances. To do this, the researchers gave metal implants to rats with broken bones. Three of the rats received standard implants and three had implants coated in dead L. casei bacteria. After four weeks, the team found there was a 27 percent increase in bone tissue in the rats with the bacteria-covered implants compared with a 16 percent increase in rats with regular implants. An increase in bone tissue is a sign that the fracture is healing. One potential risk of implants is infection at the site where the implant meets the bone. So the team also tested if their L. casei-treated implant was more resistant to infection by coating it in multi-drug resistant bacteria, which can cause infections. After 12 hours, the researchers found that 99.9 percent of these bacteria were dead. “Bacteria play an important role in the digestive system and there is increasing evidence to suggest that their benefits can be applied outside there,” says Matthew Wook Chang at the National University of Singapore. 28. Why did Lei Tan and his team conduct the experiment? A. To cure rats with broken bones. B. To identify beneficial bacteria. C. To understand infection causes. D. To test bacteria-coated implants. 29. How are bacteria-coated implants superior to regular implants? A. They release antibacterial substances. B. They get rid of the risk of getting infected. C. They speed up the recovering process greatly. D. They cut the costs of taking an implant surgery. 30. What can be implied from Matthew Wook Chang’s words? A. Many infections are closely related to bacteria. B. Bacteria can have a wide range of applications. C. Bacteria have a negative effect on human health. D. The digestive system can function better without bacteria. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Healing with bacteria B. Bone surgery breakthrough C. The role of Lactobacillus casei D. The future of implant technology D For customers who don’t have the freedom to choose where they shop, technological advancements are making price discrimination (歧视) increasingly likely. Flexibility-based price discrimination allows companies to charge different people different prices for the same product or service, based on how easily they can walk away. When consumers can easily find better deals elsewhere, they hold the power. However, AI tools are allowing sellers to become increasingly expert at uncovering how much flexibility their consumers have, which raises serious concerns. In a recent study, we examined how flexibility-based price discrimination affects a seller’s profitability in a competitive market, and studied how consumer welfare is affected. The findings demonstrated that companies that utilize consumer inflexibility are likely to boom, often at the expense of those with the least power to choose. They don’t just raise prices when customers aren’t able to easily switch to a competitor, for low-income consumers they reduce product quality as well. This double blow hits low-income consumers hard. Dollar stores, for example, often serve low-income communities in smaller markets. When these retailers realize their customers have limited alternatives, they are less likely to keep prices low. Moreover, tests revealed the presence of poisonous components in colorfully labeled children’s products at American and Canadian dollar stores. But this is only part of the story. When these same techniques are used to target wealthier consumers, it can result in positive social outcomes for them. In contrast, high-income consumers may see their product quality improve. This is because high-income consumers are willing and able to pay for the improved quality and technology-enabled price discrimination can enable the seller to satisfy their needs better. The same thing happens with trade barriers and tariffs (关税). Product quality, price and income are known to be interconnected, with lower-income inflexible consumers suffering more than high-income consumers in the same situation. Any barriers that reduce consumer flexibility disproportionately harm low-income consumers, who are more likely to face lower-quality products as a result. Our study provides valuable insights for both lawmakers and policymakers. It shows that new policies are necessary to protect vulnerable consumers with limited flexibility from price discrimination. 32. What does the underlined word “utilize” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Refer to. B. Depend on. C. Take advantage of. D. Get rid of. 33. What do companies tend to do when consumers lack purchase choices? A. Expand product varieties. B. Lower prices to attract more customers. C. Reduce product quality for low-income groups. D. Prioritize the needs of high-income consumers. 34. Why does the author mention dollar stores? A. To show how companies draw on consumer inflexibility. B. To highlight health risks for children in low-income areas. C. To criticize their addition of harmful chemicals in products. D. To compare product quality between different income groups. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward price discrimination? A. Favourable. B. Skeptical. C. Objective. D. Disapproving. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） As environmental concerns grow, having an environmentally friendly home is becoming increasingly important to many people. ___36___?

You don’t have to join in many extracurricular activities or get perfect test scores. What matters is that you work hard, believe in yourself, and let your true self shine. I was once a girl who doubted whether I could ever get into Harvard University, but with hard work and a little faith, I made it. And so can you. In high school, such a belief felt out of reach to me. Those days were full of self-doubt. I would spend hours watching videos of students online talking about their perfect extracurricular activities — ten clubs, volunteer work abroad, internships at big companies — and compare myself to them. I only had a few after-school activities: attending the book club, tutoring younger students in math, and playing on the girls’ soccer team. My test scores were good, but not perfect. Every time I saw those “perfect” numbers online, I felt like I was falling behind, and I even thought about giving up my dream of going to a top university. Everything changed the day my teacher, Cathy, pulled me aside. She noticed I was feeling down and asked me what was troubling me. I told her about my doubts, the numbers and activities that made me feel inadequate (缺乏信心的). She smiled and handed me a brochure about Harvard’s admissions process. “Ana,” she said gently, “colleges like Harvard don’t just look at numbers. They look at the whole person — your struggles, your efforts, your growth, and the opportunities you’ve had. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be yourself.” Those words hit me like a ray of light. For the first time, I realized that my background, my hard work, and my unique story were not weaknesses — they were part of who I was, and they mattered. 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。 From that day on, I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on doing my best. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When applying to colleges, I hesitated before adding Harvard. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第4页，共4页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
