Could a snail help people see again? Scientists think so. Golden apple snails, originally from South America, have an amazing ability—if one of their eyes is removed, they can regrow a fully working new eye within a few months. This discovery is giving hope to those with eye problems.
For a study reported in Nature Communications, researcher Alice Accorsi and her team studied how these snails regrew their “camera-like” eyes—similar in structure to human eyes. This similarity is key. If researchers can work out how these snails rebuild their eyes, it might lead to new ways to repair human eyes or treat diseases that make people slowly lose their eyesight.
To dig deeper, Accorsi used a powerful tool called CRISPR/Cas9. She used it to turn off specific genes (基因) in the snails that are important for eye development. By seeing what happens when a gene is off, she could learn its role in eye growth. This has made the snails “model organisms”—living tools that scientists can use to learn about human biology. Normally, developing such models takes a long time, but Accorsi made it in just a few years, speeding up the research.
The big question is: Why can’t humans regrow eyes? Humans and snails share many of the same genes for eye development. The secret might be in the “switches” that control these genes—turning them on and off at the right time. Snails seem to have the right “switches”, but humans may have lost them.
As a researcher puts it, understanding the snails’ eye regrowth is like learning a “musical score (乐谱).” The snails’ genes are the “instruments”, and humans have many of the same ones. The challenge is finding the right “director” to tell the genes when to play the “song”. Once that’s found, it could unlock new ways to repair human eyes. That is exactly what makes this small creature so valuable to science.
However, this doesn’t mean that human eye problems can be solved soon. “If we truly want to achieve eye regrowth in humans,” says an expert, “we still need to make sure we can exactly control the process and make it safe.” Still, for the first time, what seemed like science fiction is starting to look possible.
6. What makes golden apple snails special?
A. They can regrow their lost eyes. B. They live widely in South America.
C. They have many great abilities. D. They help with eye problems.
7. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. turning off special genes. B. using the new tool.
C. developing the model organisms. D. learning about human biology.
8. What can we learn about “switches” in Paragraph 4?
A. They work well in humans. B. They control eye development genes.
C. They influence living places. D. They stop eye regrowth in people.
9. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Music is helpful in eye research. B. Snails have better genes than humans.
C. Humans need proper ways to control genes. D. People know little about the genes.
10. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. The research is quite successful. B. Eye regrowth will come true very soon.
C. Scientists have given up the research. D. The research needs safe control.
【答案】6. A 7. C 8. B 9. C 10. D

Jessica Matthews is an inventor who uses technology to do social good. Born in the United States to Nigerian (尼日利亚) parents, Jessica grew up experiencing two different cultures. She often visited her relatives there to learn about their daily lives. This unique background inspired her to think about global challenges in new ways.
At just 19 years old, while studying mechanical engineering in college, Jessica and her classmates thought up together a new and important idea: a soccer ball that could produce electricity. The idea for this invention came during a family trip to the countryside of Nigeria, where she saw firsthand how families made a hard living without regular electricity. The Soccket Ball, a name combining “soccer” and “socket (插座)”, looks like any other soccer ball, but it has a special part. As you play with it, the ball takes in the energy from being kicked and rolled. After a game, this energy can power small devices like LED lights. For many families without regular electricity, this invention can make a big difference because this can help children study at night and make their daily life much easier.
Despite gaining strong support from global organizations and media attention, the product faced unexpected difficulties after it came out. Many users reported that the balls broke or stopped working within a few months, failing to keep the promised three years of useful life. The problems led to bad words from users and negative headlines, putting pressure on Uncharted Play, the company Jessica founded. The team openly said that they hadn’t expected the equipment to be broken by hard use in the country and promised to change the design with stronger materials and improved internal parts.
Despite these setbacks, Jessica and her team at Uncharted Play continued to work on energy solutions. Their latest invention, an easy-to-carry jump rope that makes electricity, builds on the Soccket’s success with a stronger and more lightweight design. Designed for both children and adults, the jump rope can power small devices like phones or flashlights, helping more people. Jessica’s key goal remains unchanged: to provide clean renewable energy to people around the world, where electricity shortage limits (限制) education, health, and economic (经济) chances. Her journey proves that even simple, fun activities — like playing soccer or jumping rope — can be turned into powerful tools to solve big world problems.
11. What inspired Jessica to invent the Soccket Ball?
A. Her engineering classes in college. B. The energy shortage problem she noticed.
C. A conversation with her Nigerian relatives. D. The success of her jump rope invention.
12. How does the Soccket Ball work?
A. It uses sunlight to power small devices. B. It creates light while being kicked around.
C. It must be connected to a power line. D. It stores energy when children play with it.
13. What was the main problem with the first Soccket Ball?
A. It cost too much for most families. B. It can only power small devices.
C. It didn’t last as long as expected. D. It failed to get support from the media.
14. What can we learn about Jessica’s team from the jump rope invention?
A. They continued to improve their technology.
B. They gave up on the Soccket design completely.
C. They focused only on products for children.
D. They solved the problem of electricity shortage.
15. What does Jessica finally hope to achieve?
A. To improve people’s lives through sports and play.
B. To discover more possible tools for power production.
C. To solve global power shortage with playful solutions.
D. To achieve worldwide market success for her inventions.
【答案】11. B 12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了发明家Jessica Matthews的经历与发明故事。
【11题详解】
根据第二段第二句“The idea for this invention came during a family trip to the countryside of Nigeria, where she saw firsthand how families made a hard living without regular electricity.”(这个发明的想法来自于一次去尼日利亚乡村的家庭旅行,她亲眼看到家庭在没有常规电力的情况下艰难生活。)可知,是她在尼日利亚看到的能源短缺问题启发了她发明Soccket球。
【12题详解】
根据第二段中“As you play with it, the ball takes in the energy from being kicked and rolled. After a game, this energy can power small devices...”(当你玩它时,球吸收被踢和滚动的能量。运动结束后,这些能量可以为小型设备供电……)可知,球在孩子们玩耍时储存能量,之后使用。
【13题详解】
根据第三段第二句“Many users reported that the balls broke or stopped working within a few months, failing to keep the promised three years of useful life.”(许多用户报告说球在几个月内就坏了或停止工作,未能保持承诺的三年使用寿命。)可知,主要问题是耐用性不足,没有达到预期的使用寿命。
【14题详解】
根据第四段第二句“Their latest invention...builds on the Soccket’s success with a stronger and more lightweight design.”(他们最新的发明……基于Soccket的成功,采用了更坚固和更轻便的设计。)以及第一句“continued to work on energy solutions”(继续致力于能源解决方案),可知团队从之前的挫折中吸取教训,继续改进技术。
【15题详解】
根据第四段中“Jessica’s key goal remains unchanged: to provide clean renewable energy to people around the world, where electricity shortage limits education, health, and economic chances.”(Jessica的关键目标保持不变:为世界各地电力短缺限制教育、健康和经济机会的人们提供清洁可再生能源。)以及文章最后一句提到将有趣的活动转化为解决大问题的工具,可知她的最终目标是通过趣味性的解决方案来解决全球电力短缺问题。

Several years ago, a gallery in Australia was selling hand-painted copies of Vincent Van Gogh’s work. Even though they were very close to those original (原创的) old works of Van Gogh, they were just hand-painted copies, nothing more or less. So, even though they were produced with brushes and paint, did that really make them originals? The answer is clearly no; there was nothing at all original about them. And the same goes for those painted copies of Old Masters sold online. They may look beautiful, but they are still copies. They bring no new ideas.
Copying is a legal (合法的) way of learning how to paint. For a long time, art students have copied famous works to get better. It is a useful way to practice. Unluckily, some painters never get out of the habit and if it leads to success, then for them it is reasonable. Copying not only the style, the subject matter but particular use of colour of noted artists is becoming widespread and some painters are personally benefiting from it. They sell these works and some even become famous.
A while ago, a copy of a well-known artist, both in style and subject, won a prize. A few years ago, a painter did an exact traced copy of an award-winning photo; the painting won first prize and caused a lot of bad feeling all round. Many people thought it was unfair. Such art should not be worthy of a prize, but somehow it gets the nod from judges (裁判) even when the copying is easy to see, and such artists do accept the praise for an image that has been copied to the last detail.
Artists who copy seem to be encouraged by social media, online galleries and more. People on these sites often do not know that the work is copied from someone else. Moreover, some publications not only call them great artists but pretend (假装) that the work is their own when in fact they can hardly find any new ideas of their own.
It is true that most copying by hobby painters does not hurt the careers of real artists. However, when someone copies another person’s work and then says it is completely their own, that is not honest. Art is not just about brushwork or colour. It is about expressing something that comes from within you. Copying can help you learn, but it will never tell you what you yourself want to say.
16. What fact is mentioned at the beginning of the passage?
A. Copied works are easy to be famous. B. Original paintings are difficult to find.
C. Copied paintings are on sale in a gallery. D. Hand-painted copies are real originals.
17. What is the writer’s opinion about copyists getting prizes?
A. It is unacceptable at all. B. It is an encouragement.
C. It values good painting skills. D. It is not supported by law.
18. Why does copying become widely popular?
A. Many people like such artworks. B. Social media helps copyists get noticed.
C. Publications prove these works are original. D. Copying surely brings artists success.
19 What can we learn about copying from the passage?
A. It is the only way to become a good painter. B. It is easy for artists to create new works.
C. It easily harms the real artists’ careers. D. It helps art students learn painting skills.
20. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Famous artists never copy others’ paintings.
B. Copied works can be seen as real art easily
C. Real art should include artists’ own ideas.
D. People should stop copying in their learning.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕艺术临摹与抄袭展开论述,并点明:真正的艺术贵在融入创作者自身的思想,单纯抄袭模仿永远无法成就真正的艺术。
【16题详解】
第一段“Several years ago, a gallery in Australia was selling hand-painted copies of Vincent Van Gogh’s work.”说明澳大利亚一家画廊售卖梵高画作的手绘复制品。
【17题详解】
第三段“Many people thought it was unfair. Such art should not be worthy of a prize, but somehow it gets the nod from judges (裁判) even when the copying is easy to see, and such artists do accept the praise for an image that has been copied to the last detail.”作者举例仿作获奖引发众人不满,认为这类作品不该获奖,可见作者完全不认同这种行为。
【18题详解】
第四段“Artists who copy seem to be encouraged by social media, online galleries and more.”说明社交媒体等平台让模仿者受到关注,助推模仿之风盛行。
【19题详解】
第二段“Copying is a legal (合法的) way of learning how to paint. For a long time, art students have copied famous works to get better.”说明临摹能帮助美术生学习绘画技巧。
【20题详解】
最后一段“It is about expressing something that comes from within you. Copying can help you learn, but it will never tell you what you yourself want to say.”说明艺术贵在表达内心想法,临摹无法传递创作者自身的所思所想。由此可推断真正的艺术必须包含创作者独有的思想。

A Chinese stick-and-ball game, also called “Buda Ball”, was popular more than 1,300 years ago during the Tang Dynasty. ____21____ Players use a curved (弧形的) stick to pass a soft ball and score at a short goal. The ball was usually made of leather and filled with soft materials, making it safe and easy to control. Teams of several players worked together, using quick passes and smart movements to create scoring chances. For a long time, however, this traditional sport was slowly forgotten by most people.
However, in 2024, Chengdu made an important decision. It added Buda Ball to its local list of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). ____22____ Local cultural officers and historians worked together to collect old records and interview elderly villagers who still remembered the game. Schools and communities began to pay attention. Some teachers even started to learn the sport themselves, hoping to bring it back to life for the next generation.
The big moment arrived on August 6th, 2025. Buda Ball officially showed up at the World Games held in Chengdu. Performers wore beautiful Tang-style costumes in red, gold and green.

CATCH OF A LIFETIME
He was 11 and went fishing every chance he got from the dock (码头) at his family’s small house. He loved sitting by the cool water, waiting quietly for a fish to bite. The peaceful lake and soft wind always made him feel calm and happy.
On 29 June, the day before the bass (鲈鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening. Then he tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and practised casting. When the fishing pole (钓竿) doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with pride as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.
Finally, he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.— two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
“You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad! Why? I’ve never caught such a big fish!” cried the boy.
“It’s not yet the opening time for bass fishing. The bass season will last for five whole months. And there will be other fish.” explained his father, gently.
“________________” cried the boy.
He looked around the lake. No others were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He slowly worked the hook (鱼钩) out of the mouth of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water. The boy thought that he would never again see such a great fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect (建筑师) in New York City. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock. And he was right. He has never again caught such an amazing fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish — again and again.
46. Complete the notice at the dock according to the story.
___________________________________________
47. Why did the boy’s father ask him to put the bass back?

49. A boy caught a big bass before the fishing season and his father told him to set it free.
50. I’d recommend it to my classmates, because it teaches us to stick to rules even when no one is watching, which is meaningful.

Could a snail help people see again? Scientists think so. Golden apple snails, originally from South America, have an amazing ability—if one of their eyes is removed, they can regrow a fully working new eye within a few months. This discovery is giving hope to those with eye problems.
For a study reported in Nature Communications, researcher Alice Accorsi and her team studied how these snails regrew their “camera-like” eyes—similar in structure to human eyes. This similarity is key. If researchers can work out how these snails rebuild their eyes, it might lead to new ways to repair human eyes or treat diseases that make people slowly lose their eyesight.
To dig deeper, Accorsi used a powerful tool called CRISPR/Cas9. She used it to turn off specific genes (基因) in the snails that are important for eye development. By seeing what happens when a gene is off, she could learn its role in eye growth. This has made the snails “model organisms”—living tools that scientists can use to learn about human biology. Normally, developing such models takes a long time, but Accorsi made it in just a few years, speeding up the research.
The big question is: Why can’t humans regrow eyes? Humans and snails share many of the same genes for eye development. The secret might be in the “switches” that control these genes—turning them on and off at the right time. Snails seem to have the right “switches”, but humans may have lost them.
As a researcher puts it, understanding the snails’ eye regrowth is like learning a “musical score (乐谱).” The snails’ genes are the “instruments”, and humans have many of the same ones. The challenge is finding the right “director” to tell the genes when to play the “song”. Once that’s found, it could unlock new ways to repair human eyes. That is exactly what makes this small creature so valuable to science.
However, this doesn’t mean that human eye problems can be solved soon. “If we truly want to achieve eye regrowth in humans,” says an expert, “we still need to make sure we can exactly control the process and make it safe.” Still, for the first time, what seemed like science fiction is starting to look possible.
6. What makes golden apple snails special?
A. They can regrow their lost eyes. B. They live widely in South America.
C. They have many great abilities. D. They help with eye problems.
7. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. turning off special genes. B. using the new tool.
C. developing the model organisms. D. learning about human biology.
8. What can we learn about “switches” in Paragraph 4?
A. They work well in humans. B. They control eye development genes.
C. They influence living places. D. They stop eye regrowth in people.
9. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Music is helpful in eye research. B. Snails have better genes than humans.
C. Humans need proper ways to control genes. D. People know little about the genes.
10. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. The research is quite successful. B. Eye regrowth will come true very soon.
C. Scientists have given up the research. D. The research needs safe control.

Jessica Matthews is an inventor who uses technology to do social good. Born in the United States to Nigerian (尼日利亚) parents, Jessica grew up experiencing two different cultures. She often visited her relatives there to learn about their daily lives. This unique background inspired her to think about global challenges in new ways.
At just 19 years old, while studying mechanical engineering in college, Jessica and her classmates thought up together a new and important idea: a soccer ball that could produce electricity. The idea for this invention came during a family trip to the countryside of Nigeria, where she saw firsthand how families made a hard living without regular electricity. The Soccket Ball, a name combining “soccer” and “socket (插座)”, looks like any other soccer ball, but it has a special part. As you play with it, the ball takes in the energy from being kicked and rolled. After a game, this energy can power small devices like LED lights. For many families without regular electricity, this invention can make a big difference because this can help children study at night and make their daily life much easier.
Despite gaining strong support from global organizations and media attention, the product faced unexpected difficulties after it came out. Many users reported that the balls broke or stopped working within a few months, failing to keep the promised three years of useful life. The problems led to bad words from users and negative headlines, putting pressure on Uncharted Play, the company Jessica founded. The team openly said that they hadn’t expected the equipment to be broken by hard use in the country and promised to change the design with stronger materials and improved internal parts.
Despite these setbacks, Jessica and her team at Uncharted Play continued to work on energy solutions. Their latest invention, an easy-to-carry jump rope that makes electricity, builds on the Soccket’s success with a stronger and more lightweight design. Designed for both children and adults, the jump rope can power small devices like phones or flashlights, helping more people. Jessica’s key goal remains unchanged: to provide clean renewable energy to people around the world, where electricity shortage limits (限制) education, health, and economic (经济) chances. Her journey proves that even simple, fun activities — like playing soccer or jumping rope — can be turned into powerful tools to solve big world problems.
11. What inspired Jessica to invent the Soccket Ball?
A. Her engineering classes in college. B. The energy shortage problem she noticed.
C. A conversation with her Nigerian relatives. D. The success of her jump rope invention.
12. How does the Soccket Ball work?
A. It uses sunlight to power small devices. B. It creates light while being kicked around.
C. It must be connected to a power line. D. It stores energy when children play with it.
13. What was the main problem with the first Soccket Ball?
A. It cost too much for most families. B. It can only power small devices.
C. It didn’t last as long as expected. D. It failed to get support from the media.
14. What can we learn about Jessica’s team from the jump rope invention?
A. They continued to improve their technology.
B. They gave up on the Soccket design completely.
C. They focused only on products for children.
D. They solved the problem of electricity shortage.
15. What does Jessica finally hope to achieve?
A. To improve people’s lives through sports and play.
B. To discover more possible tools for power production.
C. To solve global power shortage with playful solutions.
D. To achieve worldwide market success for her inventions.
D
Several years ago, a gallery in Australia was selling hand-painted copies of Vincent Van Gogh’s work. Even though they were very close to those original (原创的) old works of Van Gogh, they were just hand-painted copies, nothing more or less. So, even though they were produced with brushes and paint, did that really make them originals? The answer is clearly no; there was nothing at all original about them. And the same goes for those painted copies of Old Masters sold online. They may look beautiful, but they are still copies. They bring no new ideas.
Copying is a legal (合法的) way of learning how to paint. For a long time, art students have copied famous works to get better. It is a useful way to practice. Unluckily, some painters never get out of the habit and if it leads to success, then for them it is reasonable. Copying not only the style, the subject matter but particular use of colour of noted artists is becoming widespread and some painters are personally benefiting from it. They sell these works and some even become famous.
A while ago, a copy of a well-known artist, both in style and subject, won a prize. A few years ago, a painter did an exact traced copy of an award-winning photo; the painting won first prize and caused a lot of bad feeling all round. Many people thought it was unfair. Such art should not be worthy of a prize, but somehow it gets the nod from judges (裁判) even when the copying is easy to see, and such artists do accept the praise for an image that has been copied to the last detail.
Artists who copy seem to be encouraged by social media, online galleries and more. People on these sites often do not know that the work is copied from someone else. Moreover, some publications not only call them great artists but pretend (假装) that the work is their own when in fact they can hardly find any new ideas of their own.
It is true that most copying by hobby painters does not hurt the careers of real artists. However, when someone copies another person’s work and then says it is completely their own, that is not honest. Art is not just about brushwork or colour. It is about expressing something that comes from within you. Copying can help you learn, but it will never tell you what you yourself want to say.
16. What fact is mentioned at the beginning of the passage?
A. Copied works are easy to be famous. B. Original paintings are difficult to find.
C. Copied paintings are on sale in a gallery. D. Hand-painted copies are real originals.
17. What is the writer’s opinion about copyists getting prizes?
A. It is unacceptable at all. B. It is an encouragement.
C. It values good painting skills. D. It is not supported by law.
18. Why does copying become widely popular?
A. Many people like such artworks. B. Social media helps copyists get noticed.
C. Publications prove these works are original. D. Copying surely brings artists success.
19. What can we learn about copying from the passage?
A. It is the only way to become a good painter. B. It is easy for artists to create new works.
C. It easily harms the real artists’ careers. D. It helps art students learn painting skills.
20. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Famous artists never copy others’ paintings.
B. Copied works can be seen as real art easily
C. Real art should include artists’ own ideas.
D. People should stop copying in their learning.

A Chinese stick-and-ball game, also called “Buda Ball”, was popular more than 1,300 years ago during the Tang Dynasty. ____21____ Players use a curved (弧形的) stick to pass a soft ball and score at a short goal. The ball was usually made of leather and filled with soft materials, making it safe and easy to control.

CATCH OF A LIFETIME
He was 11 and went fishing every chance he got from the dock (码头) at his family’s small house. He loved sitting by the cool water, waiting quietly for a fish to bite. The peaceful lake and soft wind always made him feel calm and happy.
On 29 June, the day before the bass (鲈鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening. Then he tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and practised casting. When the fishing pole (钓竿) doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with pride as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.
Finally, he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.— two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy.
“You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad! Why? I’ve never caught such a big fish!” cried the boy.
“It’s not yet the opening time for bass fishing. The bass season will last for five whole months. And there will be other fish.” explained his father, gently.
“________________” cried the boy.
He looked around the lake. No others were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity of his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He slowly worked the hook (鱼钩) out of the mouth of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water. The boy thought that he would never again see such a great fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect (建筑师) in New York City. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock. And he was right. He has never again caught such an amazing fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish — again and again.
