(二) B 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 A loud pounding noise suddenly rang out in the lab where I worked as a student. I quickly realized it was all my mistake. When I put test tubes into a special machine to spin them, I didn’t make sure they were perfectly balanced. I couldn't turn the machine off until it stopped, so I just stood there, frozen, hoping it wouldn't fall off the desk. I had always been a top student and expected myself to be perfect at everything. In my eyes, any small mistake meant I might not be good enough for this work. But in my science program, there was no clear step-by-step guide, so I often didn’t know the rules. I had to figure everything out on my own, just like trying to stay steady on a rocking boat. Months passed, and mistakes kept coming. When my first try at getting DNA from cells failed, I feared I would never get it right. The fear grew when more tries didn’t work. Even though mistakes are common in science work, I had trouble accepting my mistakes and moving on. I felt everyone was watching me and judging me. The fear was so strong that I stopped trying so hard. I didn't want others to see how bad I was at this. Then one night, I had a dream. It taught me something I hadn't understood in real life: I needed to treat myself with the same kindness I would give a good friend. If a friend made a mistake, I would tell them not to worry, and even see it as a necessary part of learning. This realization made me change how I acted after making mistakes. I also started writing down my mistakes to learn from them. I noted what I could have done differently, and then moved on. As I got more comfortable with making mistakes, I talked more with my classmates and teachers. What they told me was surprising: almost all of them had made mistakes, big or small. The truth is, everyone makes a mistake sometimes. Now I know that’s okay, even necessary. 24. What word best describes the writer’s lab experience in Paragraph 1? A. Time-wasting. B. Disappointing. C. Well-organized. D. Perfectly made. 25. What did the writer think of her mistakes before her dream? A. A sign that she didn’t work hard enough. B. A proof that she was not fit for the work. C. A shame that she needed to hide from others. D. A worry that others would look down on her. 26. What can we learn from this passage? A. Top students never make mistakes. B. Dreaming can help us out of trouble. C. A change in mind shapes the path ahead. D. Others’ judgment may influence our actions. C Nearly all scientists agree that creating so-called “mirror life” is an extremely dangerous idea. These are the words of Professor John Glass, a researcher at the J Craig Venter Institute, quoted in the journal Nature. According to Glass and other experts, man-made mirror organisms could bring a real threat to all life on Earth, yet stopping mirror life from being created is far more difficult than most people think. Thankfully, mirror life remains just an idea in theory for now. The idea comes from research into mirror biology, a field based on a simple but important fact: many chemicals in living things can exist in two forms that are mirror images of each other. These two versions, called enantiomers (对映体), have the same chemical formula and act similarly in most ways, but their molecular structures are like left and right hands—they look almost the same but cannot overlap each other. All known living things use right-handed chemicals, but scientists believe mirror-image versions could help develop new medicines and even unlock the basic secrets of life itself. If scientists could replace every single biochemical part of a living cell with its mirror-image version, they could theoretically create a “mirror cell”: a structure that looks exactly like a normal cell, but with all its building blocks flipped. Scientists first warned about the risks of mirror life in 1992, when advances in genetic engineering made the idea of redesigning life in unnatural ways possible. The greatest danger comes from the fact that our immune systems have never encountered anything like mirror life before. If a mirror bacterium were created and released, human bodies would fail to recognize it as a threat, and antibodies used to fight germs would lose their effect. Such special bacteria could also break through the defense systems of plants and animals. Ordinary medicines would hardly work on them, and they would spread quickly to cause illnesses and damage the natural environment. Facing potential hidden dangers, many experts call for setting global rules to restrict risky research and carry out more discussions to avoid stepping into dangerous areas. Still, some scientists hold different opinions, doubting whether mirror life will bring such serious disasters as people worry about. Though real mirror life is still far from coming true, the public and researchers should attach great importance to this hidden risk in advance. 27. What can we learn about mirror life from the passage? A. It is just a theoretical concept at present. B. It has been widely produced for medical use. C. It has proven safe for all living things on earth. D. It shares the same chemical structure with normal life. 28. What does the word “overlap” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Mix naturally. B. Act exactly in the same way. C. Cover one another completely. D. Look entirely different in shape. 29. Why does the writer mention immune system and antibodies in Paragraph 3? A. To compare mirror bacteria with common germs. B. To introduce a new way to develop useful medicines. C. To show how human bodies fight dangerous bacteria. D. To explain the great risk mirror life may cause to human. 30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Mirror Life: The Science behind Mirror. B. Mirror Life: A Bright Future for Biology. C. Mirror Life: The Promise of New Medicines. D. Mirror Life: The Hidden Danger We Should Face. D What if the key to happiness isn’t what we’ve been told? For decades, we’ve heard that finding a deep sense of purpose in life is essential to happiness. However, the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which has tracked participants for more than 80 years, found that the single strongest predictor of happiness isn’t purpose at all—it’s relationships. I was wondering why. We always think of purpose as a life mission—what we might call “Big-P” Purpose—but in reality, a different kind of purpose, “Little-P” Purpose, is what fuels happiness. Little-P Purpose is process-oriented (以过程为导向的). It’s the daily activities, passions, and interests that light us up—not because they serve some big goal but simply because they bring us joy and fulfillment in the moment. Have you ever had this kind of experience that when you are engaged in something you really love—whether it’s painting, writing, teaching, or even telling a joke—you attract others who share those interests. These shared passions create communities. They build relationships. And they lead to happiness. As a vet, I didn’t feel a strong sense of purpose in my work. I showed up, did my job, and went home. And I didn’t feel particularly connected to the people in it. Then something unexpected happened. One day I blogged and podcasted my daily jokes since I loved listening to jokes when I was still a kid. Actually I didn’t start writing because I wanted to change the world—I just enjoyed it. People reached out. Readers emailed me. Listeners engaged with like-minded individuals. Some entertainment program director called me. I showed up as my best self. Telling jokes brought out my humor, energy and creativity, which naturally attracted others. And now I’m significantly happier and feel more connected to the people around me than ever before. I wake up excited about my work, not because I’ve found some big, singular life purpose, but because I have found what I love. I can bring more laughter to the people around me including the pet owners who ask me for help. Therefore, as far as I’m concerned, we should focus on Little-P Purpose the small, daily pursuits that energize us instead of struggling to find Big-P Purpose—some singular, big task that defines our life. If you love painting, you can just join an art group. If you are passionate about fitness, start working out with others. If you are fascinated by a niche (小众的) topic, write about it, talk about it and connect with others who care about it. The key is to follow the things that naturally excite you, not because you expect them to lead to some big revelation (启示) but because they create opportunities for connection. And that is what truly drives happiness. The happiest people are not necessarily those who have figured out their grand purpose in life. They are the ones who have found meaningful ways to connect with others through activities that bring them joy. Purpose is important, but not because it is the goal itself—it’s the bridge to relationships, and relationships are what make life fulfilling. 31. According to the passage, who is the most likely to gain happiness? A. Ashley who shares her traveling stories through social networking apps. B. Mike who spends most of his free time working out in his personal gym. C. Lillian who never gives up on the way to be an Olympic champion swimmer. D. Steve who is trying to be a millionaire by reading about the stories of rich men. 32. Why does the writer think that “Little-P” Purpose makes life fulfilling? A. Because it can bring us joy and a sense of achievement. B. Because it will lead us to finally find out our “Big-P” Purpose. C. Because we will be a better person by taking challenges to reach it. D. Because we feel happier and more connected with others by reaching it. 33. Why does the writer mention his own experience of blogging his daily jokes? A. To introduce a way of discovering one’s advantages. B. To explain why “Little-P” Purpose leads us to success. C. To give an example to prove what truly drives happiness. D. To suggest developing what we love and sharing it with others. 34. What can we learn from the passage? A. A study links close relationships to happiness. B. Small joys gain meaning from human connection. C. Sharing jokes online makes people feel much happier. D. People feel less close to others when their jobs don’t fit their interests. 六、阅读表达(本大题共4小题，51-53题每题2分；54题4分，共10分) In recent years, there has been a shortage of waiters in UK restaurants. With the fast development of modern robots, many restaurants begin to use robot waiters to work instead of humans. These special robots can greet customers and lead them to tables. Human workers take food orders and put plates on robots. Then the robots carry food between tables and kitchens. However, people hold different ideas about robot waiters. Some people support using robot waiters. First, robots are cost-effective. They are expensive to buy, but they don’t need to get paid. Besides, they never get tired, ill or need holidays, so they can work long hours with high efficiency and fewer mistakes. They can finish boring work like carrying food, letting human waiters focus on warm service and do more complicated jobs. What’s more, robot waiters are new and fun, which helps restaurants attract more customers. But others hold the opposing view. Diners prefer talking with real people instead of cold machines. Robots can’t deal with unexpected questions without special programs. Also, human waiters still need to help robots load and unload food. Worse still, robot waiters are dangerous sometimes. They may fail to avoid sudden objects on the way. What if they break down or run out of power and drop things? Most importantly, using robots means taking jobs away from real people, which is unfair to workers. 35.
