I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！ I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams. 41. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be____. A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor 42. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college? A. She wanted to study by herself. B. She fell in love and got married. C. She suffered from a serious illness. D. She decided to look after her grandma. 43. What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5? A. She was busy yet happy with her family life. B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons. C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife. D. She was too confused to make a correct choice. 44. What dose the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Little by little, one goes far. C. Every coin has two sides. D. Well begun, half done. 45. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Caring and determined. B. Honest and responsible. C. Ambitious and sensitive. D. Innocent and single-minded. 【答案】41. C 42. D 43. A 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者的求学励志故事。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“In the fall of 1985， I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.”（1985年的秋天，我是一个目光炯炯的女孩，即将进入霍华德大学立志从事法律职业，梦想着能在某个地方的最高法院担任法官）可知，当作者去霍华德大学时，她的梦想是成为一名法官。故选C项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But one year after I started college, she developed cancer.

Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. ”（你可以想象我有多忙，要抚养四个不到8岁的男孩。我们的家是一个完整的动物园——一个欢乐的动物园。）作者需要养育4个儿女，同时还要坚持学习的梦想。由此可知，她很忙，但她的家庭生活很幸福。故选A项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.”（在你的生活中不肯能一蹴而就。这是一个过程。记住:小进步大梦想）由此可知，作者在最后一段告诉我们作者的学习是在循序渐进，千里之行始于足下，最终才取得学位的。故选B项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her it.”（但我上大学一年后，她得了癌症。为了照顾她，我决定从大学退学）可知，全文作者照顾祖母和照顾家庭，可以看出作者是体贴人的。根据“It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！”（我花了21年才拿到大学学位）通过作者坚持不懈的学习，最终拿到学位，可以看出作者是有决心的，故选A。 C Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological（按时间计算的）age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels. “Chronological age isn’t how old we really are. It’s merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan. We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.” To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine biomarker（生物标志）that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune（免疫的）measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm（算式，算法）does the rest. Perhaps what’s most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren’t set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it’s too late.” Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. I’m physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said. Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic（慢性的）diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.” 46. Biological age depends on . A. whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment B. how well our body works compared with our peers’ C. when we start to take outdoor exercise D. what the calendar says about our age 47. By saying “we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one” in Para. 2, the author means _______. A. we don’t have to celebrate our birthday every year B. we are chronologically older than last year C. we might be less happy than the previous year D. we may be biologically younger than the year before 48. According to Prof. Levine, what is the most exciting thing about her research? A. The measures are not fixed. B. Health services can be set up. C. The problems are not that serious. D. The research results are written in stone. 49. What does the author want to tell us by Levine’s example in Para. 5? A. It is necessary to change our diet regularly. B. The test results may give us wrong information. C. Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness. D. The algorithm can reveal our potential health problems. 50. The ultimate goal of Levine’s research is to . A. free people from chronic diseases B. work out a solution to genetic problems C. keep people socially active even in old age D. provide people with access to scientific theory 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. A 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【分析】本文为说明文。基本上，每个人都有两个年龄：一个是年表上的年龄，年历上说的你的年龄；一个是生理年龄，基本上是指你的身体机能与平均健康水平或健康水平相比较的年龄。生理年龄决定了我们的健康，最终决定了我们的寿命。为了计算生物年龄，耶鲁大学的莱文教授通过简单的血液测试确定了9种似乎对寿命影响最大的生物标志物。莱文正在与一个小组合作，提供在线访问该算法的机会，这样任何人都可以计算自己的生物年龄，识别潜在风险，并采取措施改善自己的长期健康状况。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.（生理年龄，基本上是指你的身体机能与平均健康水平或健康水平相比较的年龄）可知，生理年龄取决于与同龄人相比我们的身体状况如何。故B选项正确。 【47题详解】 句意理解题。根据第二段中的In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.（在未来，随着我们控制生物年龄的能力的提高，我们的生日蛋糕上的蜡烛可能比前还要少）可知，人类将会有能力缩短或者延长生物年龄，作者说“我们的生日蛋糕上的蜡烛可能比前还要少”意思是“我们在生理上可能比前一年更年轻”。故D选项正确。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren’t set in stone…People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it’s too late.（我认为这项研究最令人兴奋的地方是，这些东西并不是一成不变的……人们可以更早得到这些信息，并在为时已晚之前采取措施改善健康）可知，这项研究最令人兴奋的地方在于人们可以采取不同的措施来改善自己的健康，这些措施不是固定不变的，故A选项正确。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的It was a wake-up call（这就敲响了警钟）及最后一段中的Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run.（莱文正在与一个小组合作，提供在线访问该算法的机会，这样任何人都可以计算自己的生物年龄，识别潜在风险，并采取措施改善自己的长期健康状况）可知，作者想通过例子告诉他们这种算法可以揭示我们潜在的健康问题。故D选项正确。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的中的By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.（通过延迟心理和生理功能问题的发展，人们仍然可以在晚年参与社会活动。这是我们应该追求的理想）可知，他们的最终目标是让人们在年老的时候，依旧可以积极地进行社会生活。故C选项正确。 D Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online, whether reading news, social media, or e-books. While online reading opens up a lot of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages, too. These include tiredness of eyes, headaches, as well as difficulty in even finishing reading the text. Now a new pioneering (开创性的) reading plugin (插件) has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online. The reading plugin called Bionic Reading, which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt, was created with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes. The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold (粗体) which actually allows your eyes to jump over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing. Incredibly, reading like this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people’s brain. Casutt came up with the plugin by accident. He was reading a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it faster and well master it if he separated it into parts. He has worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it. Maybe people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it, but more research is needed before it can be finally shown that the system improves reading ability. But people with dyslexia (阅读障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading. Casutt’s goal is to combine the plugin with all reading apps and online services. “In a digital world controlled by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content,” he said. Bionic Reading is available in several apps like Fiery Feeds, Lie, and Next App. The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about. 51. Bionic Reading was designed based on the idea that __________. A. your eyes can read faster than your brain. B. your brain can read faster than your eyes. C. reading can unlock people’s brain. D. the first few letters of each word can be made in bold. 52. How does Bionic Reading work? A. Users can read faster with less thinking. B. Users keep their brains much less active. C. Users keep an eye on part of the whole text. D. Users guess the meanings of some key words. 53. What benefit does Bionic Reading bring to people with dyslexia? A. Selecting suitable reading contents. B. Keeping up with reading contents. C. Limiting reading time. D. Reducing stress from reading. 54. What can we learn about Bionic Reading? A. It has not been put into use so far. B. It has already been fully developed. C. It leaves users a further reading and thinking. D. It helps users skip the new words in reading. 55. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online Reading. B. Online Reading Is Sure To Perfect People’s Brain. C. Spending Time On Online Reading Is Worthwhile. D. New Pioneering Plugin Still Needs To Be Improved. 【答案】51. B 52. C 53. B 54. C 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍一款新型阅读插件仿生阅读，讲解其设计原理、运作方式、效果、研发历程与应用现状。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The reading plugin called Bionic Reading, which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt, was created with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes.(这款名为仿生阅读的阅读插件由瑞士设计师雷纳托・卡苏特研发，其设计理念是大脑的阅读速度快于眼睛)”可知，Bionic Reading的设计理念是大脑的阅读速度快于眼睛。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold (粗体) which actually allows your eyes to jump over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing.(该插件将每个单词的前几个字母设为粗体，这能让眼睛跳过部分文本，再由大脑补全缺失内容)”可知，使用者只需关注文本部分内容。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But people with dyslexia (阅读障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading.(但有诵读障碍的人群证实，仿生阅读确实帮助他们专注于阅读内容)”可知，该插件能帮助这类人群跟上阅读内容。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In a digital world controlled by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content.(在这个被浅阅读主导的数字世界里，仿生阅读旨在引导人们更深入地阅读和理解文字内容)”可知，它能让读者进行深度阅读与思考。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Now a new pioneering (开创性的) reading plugin (插件) has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online.(如今，一款全新的开创性阅读插件旨在帮助人们解决这些问题，实现更快地在线阅读)”、第二段介绍该插件的运作原理、第三段讲述其研发由来与实际效果、第四段说明其应用与发展目标可知，全文围绕这款新型插件能改善在线阅读展开。因此最佳标题是“New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online Reading.(全新开创性插件改善在线阅读)”。 II卷（非选择题，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） It was 3 a.m. A sudden sound of something heavy falling and glass breaking made Malti wake up. When she opened the living room door, she stood there in shock. A large piece of the ceiling (天花板) had fallen, breaking the glass coffee table. Living alone in this house, the seventy-year-old lady sighed, deciding to clean up in the morning. Living in this old building safely felt like a miracle. Maybe it was time to find a new home, she thought. The next morning, as Malti began cleaning the mess, she noticed three well-dressed strangers standing outside her door. A middle-aged man among them greeted her warmly like an old friend: “Hello, Malti. I’m Rathod.” Though puzzled, she invited them in. Then Rathod told her a story. Thirty years ago, the couple’s newborn baby had a serious blood problem and needed an urgent transfusion (紧急输血). Their search had led them to Malti, whose rare blood type matched the baby’s. Rathod had rushed to her office. Without hesitation, she had left her work and followed the man to the hospital to donate blood. That act had saved the child, who was now in front of Malti and had become a doctor working in the United States. Malti widened her eyes, and she remembered now. The worried father arriving at her office, the anxious trip to the hospital, and the weak child fighting for life… Rathod then explained that the whole family were leaving Mumbai for good. Before leaving, they wanted to thank her in person. They had gone to her office and got this address. It happened that they lived in the same city. So they made a decision to give their house to Malti as a gift, since they no longer needed it. Malti couldn’t believe it. She didn’t want to take something so valuable, yet the family’s kind firmness left her no choice but to accept. Looking into their smiling faces, she felt tears well up in her eyes. The years of loneliness and worry seemed to disappear, replaced by a quiet warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time. One small act of kindness so many years ago found its way back to her, in the most unexpected way. It was, she realized, a real miracle. 56. What happened to Malti’s apartment at the beginning of the story? (No more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________ 57. How did Malti feel when the strangers first appeared at her door? (No more than 5 words) _______________________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word “hesitation” in paragraph 3 mean? (No more than 3 words) _______________________________________________________ 59. Why did Rathod’s family decide to give their house to Malti? (No more than 20 words) _______________________________________________________ 60. At the end, Malti called the family’s visit “a real miracle.” What does it mean? What can you learn from her story? (No more than 25 words). _______________________________________________________ 【答案】56. A large piece of the ceiling fell and broke the glass coffee table. 57. Puzzled./She felt puzzled. 58. Doubt. /Uncertainty./Delay. /Thinking twice. /Pause 59. To thank her for saving their child’s life by donating blood. 60. It means her kindness was repaid unexpectedly; I learn kindness is important and we should help others. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了70岁独居的Malti家中天花板掉落，正烦恼住房问题时，三位陌生人来访，原来他们是30年前被Malti献血救活的婴儿的家人，为感谢她，家人将房子赠予她，让她感受到了善意的回报。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中的“A large piece of the ceiling (天花板) had fallen, breaking the glass coffee table.(一大块天花板掉了下来，砸碎了玻璃咖啡桌。)”可知，故事开始时Malti的公寓一大块天花板掉了下来，砸碎了玻璃咖啡桌。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段中的“Though puzzled, she invited them in.(尽管很困惑，她还是邀请他们进来。)”可知，当陌生人第一次出现在她家门口时，Malti感到很困惑。 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据文章第三段中的“Rathod had rushed to her office. Without hesitation, she had left her work and followed the man to the hospital to donate blood.(Rathod冲到她的办公室。没有hesitation，她放下工作，跟着那个男人去医院献血。)”可知，Rathod立刻放下工作去医院献血，没有丝毫迟疑，由此可推断hesitation意思是“犹豫；迟疑；考虑再三；停顿”。 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第四段中的“Rathod then explained that the whole family were leaving Mumbai for good. Before leaving, they wanted to thank her in person. They had gone to her office and got this address. It happened that they lived in the same city. So they made a decision to give their house to Malti as a gift, since they no longer needed it.(Rathod接着解释说，全家人要永远离开孟买。在离开之前，他们想亲自感谢她。他们去了她的办公室，得到了这个地址。碰巧他们住在同一个城市。所以他们决定把房子送给Malti作为礼物，因为他们不再需要它了。)”以及第三段中的“That act had saved the child, who was now in front of Malti and had become a doctor working in the United States.(这一举动救了那个孩子，他现在就在Malti面前，已经成为一名在美国工作的医生。)”可知，Rathod一家决定把房子送给Malti是为了感谢她献血救了他们的孩子。 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段中的“The years of loneliness and worry seemed to disappear, replaced by a quiet warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time. One small act of kindness so many years ago found its way back to her, in the most unexpected way. It was, she realized, a real miracle.(多年的孤独和忧虑似乎消失了，取而代之的是一种她很久没有感受到的宁静的温暖。多年前的一个小小的善举，以最意想不到的方式回到了她身边。她意识到，这是一个真正的奇迹。)”可知，Malti认为这家人来访是“真正的奇迹”，意味着她的善举得到了意想不到的回报；从这个故事中可以学到善良很重要，我们应该帮助别人。 第二节：书面表达（共1小题，共25分） 61. 学校英文报正在开展以Learning English Beyond the Classroom为题的讨论。请使用图表中的调查结果写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.学习活动状况描述； 2.简单评论； 3.你的建议。 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.短文的题目和首句已为你写好。 Learning English Beyond the Classroom ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Learning English Beyond the Classroom Nowadays, with the growing popularity of smartphones and computers, an increasing number of students are choosing to learn English beyond the classroom in various ways. From the chart above, we can see the percentage of students who choose listening to English songs and watching English movies is respectively 65% and 50%. However, those choosing reading English books and visiting English learning websites only account for 18% and 12%. In my opinion, it is a disturbing trend. For students, what benefits their study most is reading English books. Due to their lack of self-discipline, they’re easily addicted to chatting online or playing games. It’s urgent for students to improve their self-discipline, and it’s also urgent for parents and teachers to strengthen the guidance. 【解析】 【导语】要求考生根据图表中的调查结果，以“Learning English Beyond the Classroom”为主题写一篇投稿短文，内容包括学习活动状况描述、简单评论以及个人建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 分别地：respectively → separately 各种各样的：various → diverse 提高：improve→ enhance 沉迷于：be addicted to → be obsessed with 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Nowadays, with the growing popularity of smartphones and computers, an increasing number of students are choosing to learn English beyond the classroom in various ways. 拓展句：Nowadays, as smartphones and computers become more and more popular, an increasing number of students are choosing to learn English beyond the classroom in various ways. 【点睛】【高分句型1】 From the chart above, we can see the percentage of students who choose listening to English songs and watching English movies is respectively 65% and 50%.（运用了省略that的宾语从句，以及who引导定语从句） 【高分句型2】 For students, what benefits their study most is reading English books. （运用了what引导主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高新区第一学校 2025—2026学年度高一年级第二学期期中阶段性检测 英语试卷 注意事项： 1、本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2、答Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号、考试科目涂写在答题卡上，只交答题卡，试卷学生带走；以备讲评。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题，满分115分） 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 听下面五段对话。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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段材料读两遍。 1.

I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！ I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams. 41. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be____.

C Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological（按时间计算的）age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels. “Chronological age isn’t how old we really are. It’s merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan. We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.” To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine biomarker（生物标志）that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune（免疫的）measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm（算式，算法）does the rest. Perhaps what’s most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren’t set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it’s too late.” Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. I’m physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said. Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic（慢性的）diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.” 46. Biological age depends on . A. whether we can adapt ourselves to the environment B. how well our body works compared with our peers’ C. when we start to take outdoor exercise D. what the calendar says about our age 47. By saying “we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one” in Para. 2, the author means _______. A. we don’t have to celebrate our birthday every year B. we are chronologically older than last year C. we might be less happy than the previous year D. we may be biologically younger than the year before 48. According to Prof. Levine, what is the most exciting thing about her research? A. The measures are not fixed. B. Health services can be set up. C. The problems are not that serious. D. The research results are written in stone. 49. What does the author want to tell us by Levine’s example in Para. 5? A. It is necessary to change our diet regularly. B. The test results may give us wrong information. C. Waking up early in the morning is good for our fitness. D. The algorithm can reveal our potential health problems. 50. The ultimate goal of Levine’s research is to . A. free people from chronic diseases B. work out a solution to genetic problems C. keep people socially active even in old age D. provide people with access to scientific theory D Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online, whether reading news, social media, or e-books. While online reading opens up a lot of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages, too. These include tiredness of eyes, headaches, as well as difficulty in even finishing reading the text. Now a new pioneering (开创性的) reading plugin (插件) has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online. The reading plugin called Bionic Reading, which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt, was created with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes. The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold (粗体) which actually allows your eyes to jump over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing. Incredibly, reading like this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people’s brain. Casutt came up with the plugin by accident. He was reading a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it faster and well master it if he separated it into parts. He has worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it. Maybe people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it, but more research is needed before it can be finally shown that the system improves reading ability. But people with dyslexia (阅读障碍) have proved that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading. Casutt’s goal is to combine the plugin with all reading apps and online services. “In a digital world controlled by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content,” he said. Bionic Reading is available in several apps like Fiery Feeds, Lie, and Next App. The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about. 51. Bionic Reading was designed based on the idea that __________. A. your eyes can read faster than your brain. B. your brain can read faster than your eyes. C. reading can unlock people’s brain. D. the first few letters of each word can be made in bold. 52. How does Bionic Reading work? A. Users can read faster with less thinking. B. Users keep their brains much less active. C. Users keep an eye on part of the whole text. D. Users guess the meanings of some key words. 53. What benefit does Bionic Reading bring to people with dyslexia? A. Selecting suitable reading contents. B. Keeping up with reading contents. C. Limiting reading time. D. Reducing stress from reading. 54. What can we learn about Bionic Reading? A. It has not been put into use so far. B. It has already been fully developed. C. It leaves users a further reading and thinking. D. It helps users skip the new words in reading. 55. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online Reading. B. Online Reading Is Sure To Perfect People’s Brain. C. Spending Time On Online Reading Is Worthwhile. D. New Pioneering Plugin Still Needs To Be Improved. II卷（非选择题，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） It was 3 a.m. A sudden sound of something heavy falling and glass breaking made Malti wake up. When she opened the living room door, she stood there in shock. A large piece of the ceiling (天花板) had fallen, breaking the glass coffee table. Living alone in this house, the seventy-year-old lady sighed, deciding to clean up in the morning. Living in this old building safely felt like a miracle. Maybe it was time to find a new home, she thought. The next morning, as Malti began cleaning the mess, she noticed three well-dressed strangers standing outside her door. A middle-aged man among them greeted her warmly like an old friend: “Hello, Malti. I’m Rathod.” Though puzzled, she invited them in. Then Rathod told her a story. Thirty years ago, the couple’s newborn baby had a serious blood problem and needed an urgent transfusion (紧急输血). Their search had led them to Malti, whose rare blood type matched the baby’s. Rathod had rushed to her office. Without hesitation, she had left her work and followed the man to the hospital to donate blood. That act had saved the child, who was now in front of Malti and had become a doctor working in the United States. Malti widened her eyes, and she remembered now. The worried father arriving at her office, the anxious trip to the hospital, and the weak child fighting for life… Rathod then explained that the whole family were leaving Mumbai for good. Before leaving, they wanted to thank her in person. They had gone to her office and got this address. It happened that they lived in the same city. So they made a decision to give their house to Malti as a gift, since they no longer needed it. Malti couldn’t believe it. She didn’t want to take something so valuable, yet the family’s kind firmness left her no choice but to accept. Looking into their smiling faces, she felt tears well up in her eyes. The years of loneliness and worry seemed to disappear, replaced by a quiet warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time. One small act of kindness so many years ago found its way back to her, in the most unexpected way. It was, she realized, a real miracle. 56.
