But I didn’t do any dancing. This was Class on Stage, a rare opportunity to watch dancers warm up during their daily 75-minute class. I went in knowing that I would be impressed by the physicality of it. Top athletes aren’t born; they’re made. Forty-five minutes into the class, the dancers didn’t even look tired. While watching dancers quietly plie (下蹲屈膝) with complete control was calming, watching the floor exercises that came next was anything but. The sequences were short but became increasingly complicated, so I stopped paying attention to the directions I couldn’t follow, and simply allowed myself to observe the remarkable results. At the end of the class. I applauded and watched the dancers leave the stage. They had already accomplished so much with their day, and I was left in complete awe, not just of my inadequacy, but also of their effort. As I headed home, I tried to think of the last time I worked as hard as those dancers at anything in my own life. So much has been made easier by technology: I can listen to any song I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty much anything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing challenging things, they become easier, and then you know you can do them. With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard things: I get back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write the essay. Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day. They inspire me. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’re not the one taking it. 41. Which statement accurately describes the ballet class mentioned in the passage? A. The writer actively took part in dancing. B. The dancers didn’t look exhausted despite the physicality. C. The warm-up session lasted only 45 minutes that morning. D. The writer could follow the directions throughout the session. 42. How did the author feel when the ballet class ended? A. She was amazed by how hard the dancers worked. B. She regretted not putting more effort into ballet. C. She believed she could face life’s difficulties better. D. She felt embarrassed about her own lack of determination. 43. By mentioning the technology that has made life easier, the writer means that ________. A. Technology allows people to avoid difficult tasks B. Using technology helps improve work efficiency C. A simple life requires rejecting modern tools D. Technology’s convenience may reduce motivation to seek challenges 44. What has the writer learned from her first ballet lesson? A. Fitness classes build both body and mind strength. B. We should push ourselves to seek challenges for self-improvement. C. Difficult things are worth trying as long as you enjoy doing them. D. Watching others practice ballet is a good way to improve ourselves. 45. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Fitness classes are of no significance. B. Only through taking part in ballet can one truly change. C. Observing others’ commitment can inspire personal growth. D. Fitness classes are essential for everyone’s life improvement. C Carbon removal is crucial for fighting climate change. Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems. This optimization (优化) aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage. To design these climate-saving plants, the scientists are using a research tool called SLEAP — an AI software that tracks multiple features of root growth. Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira, SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab. Now, Pereira has teamed up with plant scientist Professor Wolfgang Busch to apply SLEAP to plants. In a study published in Plant Phenomics, Busch and Pereira establish a new procedure for using SLEAP to analyze plant root phenotypes — how deep and wide they grow, how massive their root systems become, and other physical qualities. Prior to SLEAP, tracking the physical characteristics of both plants and animals required a lot of labor that slowed the scientific process. SLEAP uses computer vision (the ability for computers to understand images) and deep learning (an AI approach for training a computer to learn and work like the human brain) to help researchers process images much more quickly. The application of SLEAP to plants has already enabled researchers to establish the most extensive catalog (目录) of plant root phenotypes to date. What’s more, tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes (基因) associated with those characteristics, as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently. This allows the Salk team to determine what genes are most beneficial to their plant designs. “Our cooperation is truly proof of what makes Salk science so special and impactful,” says Pereira. “We’re not just ‘borrowing’ from different disciplines — we’re really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts.” 46. What do the scientists at Salk Institute hope to achieve? A. Reducing carbon absorption. B. Optimizing the use of energy. C. Enhancing biological diversity. D. Keeping more carbon in plants. 47. Why did Pereira create SLEAP? A. To conduct research on animals. B. To generate plant images. C. To study climate patterns. D. To track features of root growth. 48. What will SLEAP help the scientists do? A. Pick out diseased plants in the forest. B. Collect samples of plant root systems. C. Identify genes for desirable plant roots. D. Preserve the genes of endangered plants. 49. What can be inferred from Pereira’s words? A. Academic disciplines are of equal importance. B. Computer programming is a must for scientists. C. Cooperation outweighs competition in research. D. Interdisciplinary approach promotes creativity. 50. Before SLEAP appeared, why was the scientific process slow? A. Because there were not enough qualified researchers. B. Because tracking biological characteristics cost much labor. C. Because deep learning technology was not available. D. Because plant root phenotypes were difficult to record. 第II卷 第一节: 阅读表达 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分) 阅读表达 Awake from a short sleep in her chair, my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair, looked out her window at the blue sky, and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish. She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” —which usually gets her reminiscing about him. Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile. My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak. About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ” She seemed to recycle the same handful of answers to my questions. In recent years, I’ve been trying to show up for her more, in person. One day after I made us coffee, I asked her: “What’s the secret to being successful in your 90s? ” “Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ” “Try what? ” “Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ” Even at 93, my grandmother still knits blankets for the local hospital’s babies and buys books to continue with her French. “Age is just another bot- her attempting to convince you of the impossible in the world, but actually the world is filled with possibilities,” she once said. 51. What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 2 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 53. Why did the author’s grandmother recycle the same answers to his questions? (no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 54. How can people be successful in old age according to the author’s grandmother? (no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 55. In your opinion, what can young people do to improve the quality of old people’s life?

But I didn’t do any dancing. This was Class on Stage, a rare opportunity to watch dancers warm up during their daily 75-minute class. I went in knowing that I would be impressed by the physicality of it. Top athletes aren’t born; they’re made. Forty-five minutes into the class, the dancers didn’t even look tired. While watching dancers quietly plie (下蹲屈膝) with complete control was calming, watching the floor exercises that came next was anything but. The sequences were short but became increasingly complicated, so I stopped paying attention to the directions I couldn’t follow, and simply allowed myself to observe the remarkable results. At the end of the class. I applauded and watched the dancers leave the stage. They had already accomplished so much with their day, and I was left in complete awe, not just of my inadequacy, but also of their effort. As I headed home, I tried to think of the last time I worked as hard as those dancers at anything in my own life. So much has been made easier by technology: I can listen to any song I want, whenever I want. I can have pretty much anything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing challenging things, they become easier, and then you know you can do them. With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard things: I get back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write the essay. Nothing demands as much of me as what ballet demands of those dancers every day. They inspire me. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’re not the one taking it. 41. Which statement accurately describes the ballet class mentioned in the passage? A. The writer actively took part in dancing. B. The dancers didn’t look exhausted despite the physicality. C. The warm-up session lasted only 45 minutes that morning. D. The writer could follow the directions throughout the session. 42. How did the author feel when the ballet class ended? A. She was amazed by how hard the dancers worked. B. She regretted not putting more effort into ballet. C. She believed she could face life’s difficulties better. D. She felt embarrassed about her own lack of determination. 43. By mentioning the technology that has made life easier, the writer means that ________. A. Technology allows people to avoid difficult tasks B. Using technology helps improve work efficiency C. A simple life requires rejecting modern tools D. Technology’s convenience may reduce motivation to seek challenges 44. What has the writer learned from her first ballet lesson? A. Fitness classes build both body and mind strength. B. We should push ourselves to seek challenges for self-improvement. C. Difficult things are worth trying as long as you enjoy doing them. D. Watching others practice ballet is a good way to improve ourselves. 45. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Fitness classes are of no significance. B. Only through taking part in ballet can one truly change. C. Observing others’ commitment can inspire personal growth. D. Fitness classes are essential for everyone’s life improvement. 【答案】41. B 42.

I can have pretty much anything delivered. I can stay in touch with friends without making the time to see them. But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges.(科技让很多事情变得更容易：我可以随时听我想听的任何歌曲。我几乎可以让任何东西送货上门。我可以和朋友们保持联系，而不用花时间去见他们。但与其走捷径，也许我应该寻找挑战)”可推知，作者提到科技让生活变得更轻松，是为了说明科技的便利可能会减少人们寻求挑战的动力。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段中“But instead of taking shortcuts, maybe I should look for challenges. Because once you start doing challenging things, they become easier, and then you know you can do them.(但与其走捷径，也许我应该寻找挑战。因为一旦你开始做有挑战性的事情，它们就会变得更容易，然后你就会知道自己能做到)”以及第四段中“With the determination and discipline of ballet dancers still fresh in my mind, I commit to doing some hard things: I get back in the habit of practicing a language I’ve been trying to learn. I lift heavier weights. I take the stairs. I write the essay.(芭蕾舞者的决心和纪律仍然清晰地印在我的脑海里，我决心做一些困难的事情：我重新养成了练习一门我一直想学的语言的习惯。我举更重的重量。我走楼梯。我写论文)”可推知，作者从她的第一节芭蕾课中学到了我们应该强迫自己去寻求挑战以实现自我提升。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“They inspire me. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is that sometimes a fitness class can change your life, even if you’re not the one taking it.(他们激励了我。所以，我想说的是，有时候一节健身课可以改变你的生活，即使你不是那个参加课程的人)”可推知，从最后一段我们可以学到观察他人的投入可以激发个人成长。故选C。 C Carbon removal is crucial for fighting climate change. Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems. This optimization (优化) aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage. To design these climate-saving plants, the scientists are using a research tool called SLEAP — an AI software that tracks multiple features of root growth. Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira, SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab. Now, Pereira has teamed up with plant scientist Professor Wolfgang Busch to apply SLEAP to plants. In a study published in Plant Phenomics, Busch and Pereira establish a new procedure for using SLEAP to analyze plant root phenotypes — how deep and wide they grow, how massive their root systems become, and other physical qualities. Prior to SLEAP, tracking the physical characteristics of both plants and animals required a lot of labor that slowed the scientific process. SLEAP uses computer vision (the ability for computers to understand images) and deep learning (an AI approach for training a computer to learn and work like the human brain) to help researchers process images much more quickly. The application of SLEAP to plants has already enabled researchers to establish the most extensive catalog (目录) of plant root phenotypes to date. What’s more, tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes (基因) associated with those characteristics, as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently. This allows the Salk team to determine what genes are most beneficial to their plant designs. “Our cooperation is truly proof of what makes Salk science so special and impactful,” says Pereira. “We’re not just ‘borrowing’ from different disciplines — we’re really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts.” 46. What do the scientists at Salk Institute hope to achieve? A. Reducing carbon absorption. B. Optimizing the use of energy. C. Enhancing biological diversity. D. Keeping more carbon in plants. 47. Why did Pereira create SLEAP? A. To conduct research on animals. B. To generate plant images. C. To study climate patterns. D. To track features of root growth. 48. What will SLEAP help the scientists do? A. Pick out diseased plants in the forest. B. Collect samples of plant root systems. C. Identify genes for desirable plant roots. D. Preserve the genes of endangered plants. 49. What can be inferred from Pereira’s words? A. Academic disciplines are of equal importance. B. Computer programming is a must for scientists. C. Cooperation outweighs competition in research. D. Interdisciplinary approach promotes creativity. 50. Before SLEAP appeared, why was the scientific process slow? A. Because there were not enough qualified researchers. B. Because tracking biological characteristics cost much labor. C. Because deep learning technology was not available. D. Because plant root phenotypes were difficult to record. 【答案】46. D 47. A 48. C 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了索尔克研究所利用AI工具SLEAP优化植物根系以固碳的研究。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems. This optimization (优化) aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage.(索尔克研究所的科学家们正通过增强植物的根系来利用其吸收二氧化碳的自然能力。这种优化旨在增加碳储存量并延长其储存时间)”可知，科学家希望通过优化植物根系来锁住更多的碳。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira, SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab.(SLEAP由索尔克研究员Talmo Pereira创建，最初旨在追踪实验室中动物的运动)”可知，Pereira创建SLEAP是为了开展动物研究。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“What’s more, tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes (基因) associated with those characteristics, as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently.(更重要的是，追踪这些根系物理特征有助于科学家找到与这些特征相关的基因，以及判断多种根系特征是否由相同的基因或独立的基因所决定)”可知，SLEAP将帮助科学家识别决定理想根系的基因。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We’re not just ‘borrowing’ from different disciplines — we’re really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts.(我们不仅仅是从不同学科‘借用’——我们是真正将它们置于平等地位，以创造出大于各部分总和的成果)”可知，Pereira强调了跨学科合作能产生更大的创造力。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Prior to SLEAP, tracking the physical characteristics of both plants and animals required a lot of labor that slowed the scientific process.(在SLEAP出现之前，追踪植物和动物的物理特征需要大量劳动力，这减慢了科学进程)”可知，此前科学进程缓慢是因为追踪生物特征耗费了大量人力。 第II卷 第一节: 阅读表达 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分) 阅读表达 Awake from a short sleep in her chair, my grandmother ran her fingers through her wavy white hair, looked out her window at the blue sky, and asked me what I would wish for if I had just one wish. She often asks this, and I always answer the same way—“To have Granddad back” —which usually gets her reminiscing about him. Memories of their 67-year life together would always make her smile. My grandmother was born in Ireland. In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak. About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ” She seemed to recycle the same handful of answers to my questions. In recent years, I’ve been trying to show up for her more, in person. One day after I made us coffee, I asked her: “What’s the secret to being successful in your 90s? ” “Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ” “Try what? ” “Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ” Even at 93, my grandmother still knits blankets for the local hospital’s babies and buys books to continue with her French. “Age is just another bot- her attempting to convince you of the impossible in the world, but actually the world is filled with possibilities,” she once said. 51. What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 2 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 53.

In her teens, she moved to a poor village in England. At 28, my grandmother walked herself through the snow to birth her first child. When she was 50, she survived an emergency surgery. In her 60s, she suffered from arthritis(关节炎)but still managed to climb Snowdon, Wales’s tallest peak.(我祖母出生在爱尔兰。在她十几岁的时候，她搬到了英国的一个贫穷的村庄。28岁时，我的祖母在雪地里步行生下了她的第一个孩子。50岁时，她在一次紧急手术中幸存下来。60多岁时，她饱受关节炎之苦，但仍成功攀登了威尔士最高峰斯诺登峰。)”可知，本段主要介绍了奶奶的生活经历描述了奶奶具有丰富的人生经历，她是一位非凡的女性。故答案为My grandmother has/had a rich life experience./My grandmother has gone through a lot./My grandmother is/was an extraordinary woman. 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“About a decade ago, I noticed that she began to lose her hearing. If I asked what she had for lunch, she might say, “Oh, the weather has been lovely today. ”(大约十年前，我注意到她的听力开始下降。如果我问她午餐吃了什么，她可能会说：“哦，今天天气真好。”)”可知，作者注意到祖母十年前开始失去听力，所以当作者问她午饭吃了什么时，她可能会说“哦，今天天气真好。”，这说明她无法听清作者的问题，因此会用同样的几个答案来回答作者的问题。故答案为Because she began to lose her hearing./Because she could not hear clearly. 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第六段中““Oh Richard, so many people are old at 60. They just want to sit all day. You won’t make it to 90 like that. You have to try. ”(“哦，Richard，很多人60岁就老了。他们只想整天坐着。你这样活不到90岁的。你必须尝试。”)”以及第八段““Try walking, ” she said. “Try gardening. Try cooking. Trying doesn’t require a lot of trying. Just try a little . Like, with this coffee you’ve made us. I know you tried . ”(“试试走路，”她说。“试试园艺。试着做饭。尝试并不需要很多尝试。就尝一点。比如，你给我们煮的咖啡。我知道你尽力了。”)”可知，作者祖母认为人要想在老年时成功，就要不断尝试。故答案为They should remain active in old age./By trying different things./ They should try doing things. 【55题详解】 开放性试题。本题为开放性试题，回答合理即可。根据问题内容“In your opinion, what can young people do to improve the quality of old people’s life? (在你看来，年轻人能做些什么来提高老年人的生活质量？)”可知，本人认为：我们可以帮助老年人学习新的技能，使他们能够跟上社会的步伐。或者他们可以更经常地看望他们的祖父母，花时间和他们在一起。故答案为We can help old people to learn new skills so that they can keep pace with society./They can visit their grandparents more often and spend time with them. 第二节书面表达 (满分25分) 56. 假设你是中学生李华，在英国学习，担任学校中国语言与文化社社长。近期，校学生会发布了举办“国际文化节”的通知，参加活动会有一个摊位进行宣传，请写一封邮件申请一个摊位。 内容包括： 你的摊位名称：中国茶艺展；具体活动安排。 参考词汇：中国语言与文化社the Chinese Language and Culture Society；国际文化节International Cultural Festival；摊位booth 注意：词数100以上，开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Student Union, I am Li Hua, president of the Chinese Language and Culture Society.
