A. large B. larger C. largest D. the largest 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：北京植物园是中国最大的植物园之一。 “one of+the+形容词最高级+复数名词”为固定结构，意为“最……的……之一”，故应用the largest。 4. Joey ________ his grandpa every weekend. He enjoys playing chess with him. A. visits B. was visiting C. will visit D. has visited 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：乔伊每个周末都去看望他的爷爷。他喜欢和他下棋。 根据时间状语“every weekend”可知，这是表示经常性、习惯性的动作，应用一般现在时；主语为Joey，谓语动词用visits。 5. —Grace, ________ did you begin to use Doubao in your studies? —About two years ago. A. what B. when C. why D. how 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——格蕾丝，你什么时候开始在学习中使用豆包的？——大约两年前。 what什么；when什么时候；why为什么；how怎样。根据答语“About two years ago.”可知，问句询问的是时间，应用when提问。 6.

Sorry, I have to leave now. My mother ________ for me at the school gate. A. is waiting B. was waiting C. waited D. waits 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：对不起，我现在得走了。我妈妈正在校门口等我。 根据前句“I have to leave now”可知，妈妈在校门口等我是此时此刻正在发生的动作，应用现在进行时。应填is waiting。 9. —Have they planned to build a new hospital? —Yes. A new hospital ________ next month. A. was built B. has been built C. will be built D. is built 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——他们计划建一所新医院了吗？——是的。一所新医院将在下个月被建造。 根据时间状语“next month”可知，句子时态为一般将来时；主语“A new hospital”是动作“build”的承受者，二者为被动关系，所以应用一般将来时的被动语态，其结构为“will be + 过去分词”。所以选C。 10. —Colin, do you know ________ for the summer trip this term? —Yes, we’re going to Ocean Museum. A. where we went B. where we are going C. where did we go D. where are we going 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Colin，你知道这学期暑假旅行我们要去哪里吗？——知道，我们要去海洋博物馆。 where we went我们去了哪里；where we are going我们要去哪里；where did we go我们去了哪里（疑问语序）；where are we going我们要去哪里（疑问语序）。宾语从句需用陈述语序，排除疑问语序的C、D项；根据答语“we’re going to Ocean Museum”可知旅行计划尚未发生，应用现在进行时表将来，A项为一般过去时，与题意不符。应填where we are going。 四、完形填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When I was fifteen, my mum was preparing a community fashion design competition.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者十五岁参加母亲筹备的社区时装比赛，克服紧张获第二名，明白了勇气先于自信的道理。 【11题详解】 句意：她想要一个年轻模特，但找不到人选。 前文妈妈需要少年模特，找不到合适人选，“She wanted a young model, but couldn’t find a ____”，应选用choice，表示“合适人选、选择”，符合找不到模特人选的语境。match“比赛”、company“陪伴”、role“角色”，语义不匹配。 【12题详解】 句意：随着比赛日临近，她最终求助于我。 比赛临近，妈妈反复劝说“我”，求助于我，“With the competition day coming closer, she finally ____ me”，应选用turned to，短语“求助于、找到某人帮忙”。looked for“寻找”、came across“偶遇”、stood by“支持”，无求助含义。 【13题详解】 句意：我想帮忙，但担心搞砸。 后文“that I might mess it up”担心搞砸，自卑，“I wanted to help, but I was ____ that I might mess it up” ，应选用worried，形容词，担忧的。shocked“震惊”、excited“兴奋”、satisfied“满意”，与害怕搞砸相反。 【14题详解】 句意：一些成年参赛者奇怪地看着我。 后文成年选手私下议论“她还是学生怎么参赛”，目光异样，“Some adult contestants looked at me ____”，应选用strangely，副词，异样地、奇怪地。hopefully“满怀希望地”、proudly“骄傲地”、nervously“紧张地”，不符议论语境。 【15题详解】 句意：尽管我努力保持放松，但心中的压力越来越大。 “Though I tried to stay relaxed, the ____ grew heavy”，应选用pressure，名词，压力。expectation“期待”、sadness“难过”、loneliness“孤独”，无法对应赛场心理负担。 【16题详解】 句意：怀着忐忑的心，我向前走。 内心恐惧，心跳加速，固定搭配：racing heart“心跳急促”，“With a ____ heart, I stepped forward”，应选用racing，racing heart表示“怦怦直跳的心”。broken“破碎的”、kind“和善的”、thankful“感激的”，无心跳含义。 【17题详解】 句意：我看见前排的同学们，他们都在为我欢呼加油。 前排是我的同学朋友，为我加油鼓劲，“I noticed my school friends in the front row, ____ for me”，应选用cheering，cheer for sb.“为某人欢呼加油”。voting“投票”、searching“搜寻”、calling“呼喊”，无加油含义。 【18题详解】 句意：我屏住呼吸闭上眼睛，做好了失望落空的心理准备。 “I held my breath, closed my eyes, preparing myself for ____”，应选用disappointment，名词，失望。attention“关注”、punishment“惩罚”、honor“荣誉”，不符合赛前忐忑心态。 【19题详解】 句意：我击败了许多成年参赛者并获得第二名。 “I had ____ many adult contestants and won second place”，应选用beaten，beat过去分词，击败对手。influenced“影响”、encouraged“鼓励”、controlled“控制”，语义不符。 【20题详解】 句意：那天教会我勇气不等待自信。 全文主旨：先行动，自信才会到来，勇气不会等待自信，“That day taught me ____ doesn’t wait for confidence.

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. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者作为科研学生，因追求完美无法接纳实验里接连出现的失误，内心焦虑退缩，一场梦境点醒她要善待犯错的自己，之后她正视错误、复盘总结，最终明白犯错在所难免且对成长必不可少。 【24题详解】 根据第一段内容“A loud pounding noise suddenly rang out... it was all my mistake...I just stood there, frozen”可知作者在实验室造成了噪音和失误，当时僵在那里，对于期望完美的优等生来说，这是一次令人失望（Disappointing）的经历。 【25题详解】 根据第二段“In my eyes, any small mistake meant I might not be good enough for this work.”可知在作者做梦之前，她认为任何小错误都意味着她可能不足以胜任这份工作。这与B选项“证明她不适合这项工作”（A proof that she was not fit for the work）意思一致。C 项和 D 项虽在第三段提到有关他人看法的担忧，但那是基于“不适合工作”这一核心认知产生的后果，B 项是对错误本身的直接看法。 【26题详解】 文章讲述了作者从害怕犯错到通过梦境改变心态，学会接纳错误并最终成长的过程。第二段提到旧心态导致恐惧，第四、五段提到心态转变（change how I acted, treat myself with kindness）带来了积极的改变。C选项“心态的改变塑造了前方的道路”最能概括文章主旨。 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. 【答案】27. A 28. C 29. D 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了“镜像生命”这一科学概念。文章指出了创造镜像生命可能带来的巨大风险，特别是对人类免疫系统和自然环境的潜在威胁，并呼吁在相关研究上设立全球规则以规避危险。 【27题详解】 根据第二段第一句“Thankfully, mirror life remains just an idea in theory for now.”可知，它尚未成为现实。 【28题详解】 根据上下文，文中提到这两种版本（对映体）就像左手和右手——看起来几乎一样但不能“overlap”彼此。结合常识，左手和右手无法完全重合覆盖，且后文提到如果替换了生化部分，结构会翻转。此处指分子结构无法完全重叠或覆盖。 【29题详解】 第三段主要讲述了如果镜像细菌被制造出来，人体的免疫系统无法识别它们，抗体也会失效，从而导致疾病传播和环境破坏。提到免疫系统和抗体是为了具体说明镜像生命可能对人类造成的巨大风险和危害。 【30题详解】 文章通篇都在讨论“mirror life”的概念及其带来的潜在危险（dangerous idea, real threat, hidden dangers），并呼吁人们重视这一风险。选项D “Mirror Life: The Hidden Danger We Should Face”最能概括全文主旨。 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. 【答案】31. A 32. D 33. C 34. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，通过哈佛大学80年研究和作者自身经历，区分“大P目的”（宏大的生活使命）与“小P目的”（日常热爱的活动），论证后者通过建立人际连接真正驱动幸福感。 【31题详解】 由原文第四段“These shared passions create communities. They build relationships. And they lead to happiness.”及最后一段“The happiest people...have found meaningful ways to connect with others through activities that bring them joy.”可知，幸福源于通过热爱的活动与他人建立连接。A项“通过社交应用分享旅行故事”符合“分享热爱→建立连接”的模式；B项“独自在健身房锻炼”缺乏社交连接，C项“成为奥运冠军”属于“大P目的”，D项“通过阅读富豪故事成为百万富翁”是功利性目标，均不符合小P目的与连接的理念。 【32题详解】 由原文第三段“Little-P Purpose is process-oriented...bring us joy and fulfillment in the moment”及第四段“These shared passions create communities. They build relationships.”可知，小P目的带来即时快乐并建立人际关系，D项“通过实现它，我们更快乐并与他人联系更紧密”全面概括。A项“成就感”未提，B项“最终找到大P目的”与原文“而非struggling to find Big-P Purpose”矛盾，C项“挑战”未提。 【33题详解】 由原文第七段“I showed up as my best self...which naturally attracted others. And now I'm significantly happier and feel more connected to the people around me.”可知，作者用亲身经历证明小P目的通过热爱和连接驱动幸福，C项“举例证明真正驱动幸福的原因”准确。A项“发现优点的方式”未提，B项“通往成功”偏移，D项“建议发展热爱并分享”虽接近，但更侧重“证明”而非“建议”。 【34题详解】 由全文主旨“The key is to follow the things that naturally excite you...they create opportunities for connection. And that is what truly drives happiness.”可知，小快乐因人际连接获得意义，B项准确。A项“研究将亲密关系与幸福联系”虽部分正确，但未提“小目的”；C项“网上分享笑话使人更快乐”过于具体，仅为例证；D项“工作不合兴趣时人感到疏离”未明确提及。 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. Why do some restaurants in the UK use robot waiters? _____________________________________________________________________ 36. What advantages do robot waiters have compared with human waiters? _____________________________________________________________________ 37. How are robot waiters able to deal with unexpected questions from customers? _____________________________________________________________________ 38. If you are a customer, would you like to be served by a human waiter or a robot waiter? Why? (Please give two reasons based on the passage.) _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】35. Because there has been a shortage of waiters. 36. They are cost-effective, never get tired or ill, and work with high efficiency. 37. They can’t deal with them without special programs. 38. I would like to be served by a human waiter. Because diners prefer talking with real people and robots can’t deal with unexpected questions.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了近年来英国餐馆因服务员短缺而开始使用机器人服务员，并详细介绍了人们对此持有的支持及反对观点，分析了机器人服务的优缺点。 【35题详解】 根据文章第1段“In recent years, there has been a shortage of waiters in UK restaurants.”，可知餐馆使用机器人服务员的主要原因是人手不足，因此答案是原文直接信息。 【36题详解】 此答案是对第3段信息的概括总结。该段提到三个优势：一是“First, robots are cost-effective. They are expensive to buy, but they don’t need to get paid.”（虽然购买成本高，但后期无需支付工资），第二第三个优势是“Besides, they never get tired, ill or need holidays, so they can work long hours with high efficiency and fewer mistakes.”（他们不会感到疲倦、不会生病、也不需要休假，因此能够长时间高效工作并且错误更少）。答案将以上重新整合为”They are cost-effective, never get tired or ill, and work with high efficiency.”。 【37题详解】 根据文章第4段“Robots can’t deal with unexpected questions without special programs.”，可知机器人只有在有特殊程序的情况下才能处理意外问题，否则无法处理。答案几乎是原文引述。 【38题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实。结合文章内容和自己对“机器人服务员”的看法、理由，合理作答即可。 书面表达(共26分) 七、根据句意，用括号内所给词的适当形式填空。(本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分) 39. Peter told us he practiced __________ (run) on the playground every afternoon. 【答案】 running 【解析】 【详解】句意：彼得告诉我们他每天下午都在操场上练习跑步。固定搭配practice doing sth.“练习做某事”，run的动名词形式为running。 40. Unluckily, she got __________ (serious) hurt when she climbed the mountain. 【答案】 seriously 【解析】 【详解】句意：不幸的是，她爬山时受了重伤。修饰动词hurt要用副词，serious的副词形式是seriously。 41. Some students have been busy __________ (prepare) for the Art Festival recently. 【答案】 preparing 【解析】 【详解】句意：最近一些学生一直在忙着为艺术节做准备。固定搭配be busy doing sth.“忙于做某事”，prepare变动名词为preparing。 42. As long as he __________ (try) his best, he will make his dream come true. 【答案】 tries 【解析】 【详解】句意：只要他全力以赴，就一定能实现自己的梦想。as long as引导条件状语从句，主句用一般将来时（will make），从句要用一般现在时表将来。主语he是第三人称单数，所以动词try要变为tries。 43. The 24 Solar Terms are __________ (know) as the “Fifth Great Invention of China”. 【答案】 known 【解析】 【详解】句意：二十四节气被誉为中国的“第五大发明”。句中“are”为助动词，空格处需填过去分词与“are”构成被动语态，be known as表示“作为……被广为人知，被誉为”。 44. They use different ________ (method) to achieve different goals. 【答案】 methods 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们用不同的方法来实现不同的目标。“different”意为“不同的”，后接可数名词复数形式；“method”的复数形式为“methods”。 45. __________ (kind) and understanding can bridge the divide in our society. 【答案】 Kindness 【解析】 【详解】句意：善良与理解能够弥合社会中的隔阂。句子缺少主语，需要用名词。kind对应的名词是kindness“善良”，置于句首，首字母大写。 46. It’s getting late. We’d better __________ (set) off now, or we’ll miss the flight. 【答案】 set 【解析】 【详解】句意：天快黑了。我们最好现在出发，否则会错过航班的。句中“had better”为固定搭配，表示“最好做某事”，后需接动词原形。故填set。 八、根据中文意思和英文提示词语写出句子。(本大题共4小题，每小题2分，共8分) 47. 我不知道他们是否曾经去过青岛。(whether; ever) _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I don’t know whether they have ever been to Qingdao. 【解析】 【详解】“我不知道他们是否曾经去过青岛。”译为“I don’t know whether they have ever been to Qingdao.”。其中“我不知道”译为I don’t know；“是否”用“whether”引导宾语从句；“曾经去过”表示从过去到现在的经历，应用现在完成时“have ever been to”；主语“they”为复数，助动词用“have”；“青岛”译为Qingdao。 48. 上周她被邀请去做一个有关历史的演讲。(invite) _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 She was invited to give a talk about history last week. 【解析】 【详解】时间标志词last week（上周），表示句子要使用一般过去时；中文“她被邀请”为被动含义，主语she是动作invite的承受者，要用一般过去时被动语态；固定搭配invite sb. to do sth. 邀请某人做某事，被动形式为be invited to do sth. 被邀请做某事；“做演讲”固定表达：give a talk/give a speech。故填She was invited to give a talk about history last week. 49. 为了开展这项研究，她花了两个月的时间收集信息。(carry out; spend) _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In order to carry out this research, she spent two months collecting information. 【解析】 【详解】“为了”译为in order to，置于句首，后接动词原形。结合提示词carry out，“为了开展这项研究”译为In order to carry out this research；“花费时间做某事”使用spend time (in) doing sth.，根据中文“花了”可知动作发生在过去，使用一般过去时，spend变为spent；collect使用动名词形式collecting，故“她花了两个月的时间收集信息”译为she spent two months collecting information。因此，完整的句子为：In order to carry out this research, she spent two months collecting information. 50. 多亏了你的建议，我们将采取行动去保护自然资源。(thanks to) _____________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Thanks to your advice, we will take action to protect natural resources. 【解析】 【详解】“多亏了你的建议，我们将采取行动去保护自然资源。”译为“Thanks to your advice, we will take action to protect natural resources.”“多亏了”译为Thanks to，后接名词短语，置于句首，首字母大写；“你的建议”译为your advice；“我们”译为we，句子主语；“将会采取行动”译为will take action；“去保护”译为to protect，表示目的，需用动词不定式；“自然资源”译为natural resources。 九、文段表达(共10分) 51. 根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名，姓名和地名。 假如你是李华，你们班的英语课正在开展单元主题研究性学习。下图是你对班级同学未来理想职业的调查结果。请你用英文写一篇短文，描述调研结果，并谈谈自己的理想职业和选择这份职业的原因，以及为实现这一职业你需要做好哪些准备。 提示词语：require, choose, be interested in, experience, talent 提示问题：·What does the survey show? ·What is your dream job and why do you like it? ·What will you do to get ready for the job?

(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.
