【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It maintains an average class size of 12 students and a teacher-student ratio (比率) of 1:5, which allows teachers to care more about each student.( 该校平均每班学生人数为12人,师生比例为1:5,这使得教师能够更加关注每一位学生。)”可知,平均 12人的班级规模和 1:5 的师生比说明班级通常很小。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据图表依据:饼图显示 Ivy League(常春藤联盟)录取比例为19.82%,Top 25大学录取比例为25.00%。计算过程:19.82% + 25.00% = 44.82%,由此可知,被常春藤联盟校和排名前25 位的大学录取比例为44.82%。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Program Highlights中“Tennis, rock climbing and SSAT training are available for an extra charge, but students can choose whether to participate.( 网球、攀岩和 SSAT 培训需额外付费,但学生可以选择是否参加。)”可知,SSAT培训属于需要额外付费的项目。
B
It was a week after my mom had passed away, and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — stuck with me. I felt obliged (有义务的) to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.
So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “Jane, I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.
Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
24. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?
A. She felt it hard to finish the race.
B. She had no time to join in the event.
C. She thought the research meaningless.
D. She was reminded of her mother’s death.
25. What mainly helped the author recover from her mom’s death?
A. The company of her friends.
B. The inspiration from her mom.
C. The pleasure in going for a run.
D. The success in organizing an event.
26. Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom?
A. Considerate and polite. B. Brave and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and caring. D. Outgoing and patient.
27. What can we infer about the author from the passage?
A. She healed via running. B. She was good at running.
C. She won the race. D. She still feels guilty.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述作者在母亲因癌症离世后陷入低谷,通过参与公益跑步赛事、坚持跑步训练,重拾生活勇气、走出悲伤、完成自我治愈的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It was a week after my mom had passed away, and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.(妈妈去世一周后,我不知道该如何继续生活。所以当我收到朋友一封关于一场为癌症研究筹款的赛跑比赛的邮件时,我选择无视。这件事让我无比心痛,因为癌症正是夺走我母亲生命的疾病)”可知,作者忽略邮件是因为这场比赛让她想起母亲的离世,内心难以接受。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.(她是一个从不服输的人,正是这种精神支撑着我走了出来)”可知,母亲坚韧不屈的精神激励着作者,帮助她从丧母的悲痛中走出来。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第二段中的“She was the type who never got defeated.(她是那种从不认输的人)”可知母亲意志坚强;根据第六段中的“Jane, I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.(简,我不希望你为任何事感到内疚)”可知母亲非常体贴、关心女儿的感受。因此,母亲是坚强且体贴的。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合最后一段“Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.(冲过终点线时,我满心都是母亲的爱,内心无比平静)”可知,作者通过跑步排解悲伤、治愈了内心的伤痛。
C
I’ve always loved books. As a child, I’d carry them everywhere, much to my teachers’ annoyance. Books were my constant companions long before the digital age. But with smartphones, audiobooks have increased sharply in popularity, causing criticism that they aren’t “real” books and that listening to them isn’t reading.
Reading books and listening to audiobooks are different experiences. They engage different brain areas and suit different contexts. However, I’ve come to appreciate the unique advantages of audiobooks. Many feature voice actors who bring characters to life and add tunes to songs that are only words in print. Cary Elwes’ As You Wish: Amazing Stories from the Making of The Princess Bride is a great example. Elwes narrates (叙述) the book himself and invites other film actors to narrate their sections.
The belief that audiobooks don’t “count” as reading is elitist (精英主义的) and discourages literacy (读写能力). If someone struggles with print books, audiobooks can be a lifeline. Unfortunately, people who prefer audiobooks are often derided. If we want to create a world of readers, we must support all reading forms.
Rainbow Rowell’s novel Fangirl includes a character who struggles with reading. He doesn’t have a reading-based problem or ADHD but just can’t focus on text. To survive college, he records lectures and discusses topics with classmates. Reading, in any form, helps enhance critical thinking and engage with diverse views. Universities should encourage this.
I prefer audiobooks for long drives or multitasking, while I love the touch-based experience of physical books. Both formats have unique attractions. The key is to applaud the diversity of reading experiences.
In conclusion, audiobooks are a valuable form of literature. They combine well with traditional reading and provide access to stories for those who might otherwise be left out. Instead of criticizing people’s reading choices, we should celebrate all forms of engagement. What matters is the joy and knowledge from engaging with stories.
28. What advantage of audiobooks is highlighted?
A. They cost less than print books.
B. They improve listening skills.
C. They voice life into stories.
D. They get readers focused.
29. What does the underlined word “derided” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ignored. B. Criticized.
C. Misunderstood. D. Cheated.
30. Why is the character in Fangirl mentioned?
A. To show audiobooks aid struggling readers.
B. To prove college lectures are too hard.
C. To explain causes of reading disabilities.
D. To argue for recording all school texts.
31. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Audiobooks will replace print books soon.
B. Reading forms should be equally valued.
C. Physical books offer better experiences.
D. People should read more diverse stories.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B

细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, I’ve come to appreciate the unique advantages of audiobooks. Many feature voice actors who bring characters to life and add tunes to songs that are only words in print. (但我渐渐发觉了有声书独有的优势。许多有声书配有专业配音演员,将书中人物演绎得栩栩如生,还能为纸质文字里的歌谣配上旋律。)”可知,有声书的优势是配音演员让人物鲜活生动,即赋予故事生命力。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The belief that audiobooks don’t ‘count’ as reading is elitist and discourages literacy. If someone struggles with print books, audiobooks can be a lifeline. Unfortunately, people who prefer audiobooks are often derided. If we want to create a world of readers, we must support all reading forms. (认为有声书‘算不上’阅读的想法带有精英优越感,还不利于提升读写素养。对于阅读纸质书吃力的人而言,有声书犹如救命稻草。可惜偏爱有声书的人常常被derided。若想营造全民阅读的氛围,就应当包容所有阅读形式。)”可知,前文提到存在否定有声书的偏见,有声书对于阅读纸质书吃力的人而言犹如救命稻草,转折词Unfortunately表明,喜欢有声书的人却会遭受负面对待,结合后文作者呼吁应当支持所有的阅读形式,可推知derided意为“批评、指责”。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“If someone struggles with print books, audiobooks can be a lifeline. (对于阅读纸质书吃力的人而言,有声书犹如救命稻草。)”及第四段“Rainbow Rowell’s novel Fangirl includes a character who struggles with reading. He doesn’t have a reading-based problem or ADHD but just can’t focus on text. To survive college, he records lectures and discusses topics with classmates. Reading, in any form, helps enhance critical thinking and engage with diverse views. Universities should encourage this. (彩虹・罗威尔的小说《追星女孩》里有一名阅读困难的角色。他并无阅读障碍,也没有注意缺陷多动障碍,只是很难专注于文字。为顺利完成大学学业,他会录制课程音频,和同学探讨课业内容。无论何种阅读形式,都能锻炼批判性思维,让人接触多元观点,高校也应当对此予以鼓励。)”可知,第三段作者提出观点:对阅读纸质书有困难的人来说,有声书是救命稻草。第四段举《追星女孩》中难以专注文字阅读的角色的例子,正是为了佐证这个观点,说明有声书可以帮助阅读有困难的人。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, audiobooks are a valuable form of literature. They combine well with traditional reading and provide access to stories for those who might otherwise be left out. Instead of criticizing people’s reading choices, we should celebrate all forms of engagement. What matters is the joy and knowledge from engaging with stories. (总而言之,有声书是极具价值的文学载体。它与传统纸质阅读相辅相成,能让原本难以接触读物的人群领略故事魅力。我们不该指责他人的阅读选择,而是认可所有阅读形式。品读故事收获的乐趣与学识,才是重中之重。)”并结合全文可知,作者的观点为:纸质阅读和有声书各有独特优势,关键是认可阅读体验的多样性,呼吁人们不要批评不同的阅读选择,要接纳所有阅读形式,对应B选项“Reading forms should be equally valued. (阅读形式应该被同等重视)。
D
A team led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang at the University of California, Irvine’s Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health has developed the most comprehensive maps yet of how genes directly influence one another in brain cells affected by Alzheimer’s disease. These maps reveal which genes are actively controlling others across different cell types in the brain.
To accomplish this, the researchers created a powerful new AI-based system called SIGNET. Unlike traditional tools that only detect genes that appear to move together, it is designed to uncover true causal (因果的) connections. Using this approach, the team identified important biological pathways that may contribute to memory loss and the gradual breakdown of brain tissue.
“Different types of brain cells play distinct roles in Alzheimer’s disease, but how they interact at the molecular level has remained unclear,” said Min Zhang. “Our work provides cell type-specific maps of gene regulation in the Alzheimer’s brain, shifting the field from observing correlations to uncovering the causal mechanisms that actively drive disease progression.”
To build these exhaustive maps, the team analyzed single-cell molecular data from brain samples donated by 272 participants. SIGNET was designed as a scalable, high-performance computing system that combines single-cell RNA sequencing (测序) with whole-genome sequencing data.
Using this method, they constructed causal gene regulatory networks for six major brain cell types. This made it possible to determine which genes are likely directing the activity of others, something conventional correlation-based methods cannot reliably complete.
“Our approach takes advantage of information encoded (编码) in DNA to enable the identification of true causal relationships between genes in the brain,” said Dabao Zhang, co-corresponding author and professor of epidemiology.
The researchers found that the most significant gene disturbances occur in excitatory neurons — the nerve cells that send activating signals — where nearly 6,000 cause-and-effect interactions revealed extensive genetic rewiring as Alzheimer’s progresses.
The team also identified hundreds of “hub genes” that function as central regulators, influencing many other genes and likely playing an important role in harmful changes in the brain. These hub genes could become valuable targets for earlier diagnosis and future treatment.
32. What is the key advantage of SIGNET compared to traditional methods?
A. It focuses on identifying moving genes.
B. It can analyze data from lots of brain samples.
C. It can reveal true cause-and-effect gene relationships.
D. It tells RNA sequencing from whole-genome sequencing.
33. What does the underlined word “exhaustive” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Detailed. B. Rough. C. Scientific. D. Official.
34. How did the researchers find true causal relationships between brain genes?
A. By using a traditional computer system. B. By employing DNA-encoded data.
C. By detecting six major brain cell types. D. By interpreting nerve cells signals.
35. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Principles of gene function. B. The severity of the brain diseases.
C. The role of gene changes. D. Potential application of the “hub genes”.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了科研团队研发AI系统揭示阿尔茨海默病基因调控因果机制。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike traditional tools that only detect genes that appear to move together, it is designed to uncover true causal (因果的) connections. (与传统工具仅能检测看似同步活动的基因不同,该系统旨在揭示真实的因果关系)”可知,SIGNET的关键优势在于能揭示基因间真正的因果联系。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“the team analyzed single-cell molecular data from brain samples donated by 272 participants (研究团队分析了来自272名参与者捐赠的大脑样本的单细胞分子数据)”以及第五段中“they constructed causal gene regulatory networks for six major brain cell types (他们构建了涵盖六种主要脑细胞类型的因果基因调控网络)”可知,这些地图是基于大量数据构建的,非常详尽的。由此可知,exhaustive意为“详尽的,彻底的”,与“detailed”意思一致。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Our approach takes advantage of information encoded (编码) in DNA to enable the identification of true causal relationships between genes in the brain (我们的方法利用了DNA中编码的信息,从而能够识别大脑中基因之间的真实因果关系)”可知,研究人员是通过利用DNA编码的信息来找到大脑基因之间真正的因果关系的。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These hub genes could become valuable targets for earlier diagnosis and future treatment. (这些枢纽基因可能成为早期诊断和未来治疗的重要靶点)”可知,最后一段主要介绍了“枢纽基因”在未来医学上的潜在应用价值。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
As a child growing up there are many different paths available to navigate one’s way through adolescence into adulthood. I was fortunate to have had the guidance of my father, who had many hobbies in his life. ____36____ He loved talking about them to anyone who would listen.
____37____ I was always looking for pennies — whether given as change or picked up off the ground — and checking to see if they were “Wheaties”, pennies made from 1909 to 1958. Some Lincoln Wheat Cents were quite valuable, but for me, the real joy was the search itself.
My father passed away last week. Although he will be missed, there is no sadness in his passing. He lived nearly 97 years of a full and meaningful life. During his final moments, I whispered in his ear that I needed a sign after he left us. ____38____
The next day, my sister and I were going through his old clothes when something fell out and hit the floor — it was a 1928 Wheat penny. There was no way to know how long it had been there. Some might call it a coincidence. ____39____ The fact that it was also a Wheat penny proved what I already knew — it was him. It could have easily been put aside with the clothes, but it found its way to me.
Later, I was talking to my neighbor and told him the story. ____40____ However, a few days later, he came over with a bag of pennies he had. Inside it, he found two more 1928 Wheat pennies — one for each of my sisters. Our father is no longer with us, but he is still here.
A. He passed the habit on to me.
B. I figured he wouldn’t think any more of it.
C. To me, it was my father handing me the coin.
D. Old coins carried the quiet weight of the past.
E. Collecting coins was one of his greatest interests.
F. It specifically involved a 1928 coin — the year he was born.
G. His soft words and warm hands supported me through my youth.
【答案】36. E 37. A 38. F 39. C 40. B

Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Editor,
Last week we had a heated discussion on whether AI-generated paintings qualify as real art. Some classmates argue that AI art lacks genuine creativity, as it merely combines existing data patterns without emotional depth.
Others, however, claim that AI expands artistic boundaries by offering novel techniques and democratizing art creation, making it accessible to everyone.
From my perspective, AI should be viewed as a collaborative tool rather than a replacement for human artists. While it can enhance efficiency and inspire new forms, the soul of art-human experience and emotional resonance-remains irreplaceable. True art requires intention, not just algorithmic precision.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The bus broke down on the mountain road, 20 kilometers from the nearest town. Outside, snow fell heavily, covering the ground in white. Inside, 12 passengers sat in panic — city people, unprepared for mountain weather. I was seventeen, traveling alone to visit my grandmother in the hospital, carrying her old locket (盒式项链坠) that she’d asked me to bring — her most treasured possession, containing photos of her and my late grandfather. My phone showed no signal.
The driver tried the engine. Nothing. He checked the fuel, the battery. “It’s dead,” he announced. “We wait for rescue.”
Ten minutes passed. The wind grew stronger. People wrapped themselves in coats. An elderly woman shivered violently. A mother tried to keep her crying baby warm. Obviously, we needed shelter.
Then the man in the back row stood up. “I’m Tom,” he said. “I live three kilometers up the road. Follow me.” He was about fifty, rough hands, work clothes, a weathered face. Some refused, afraid of a stranger. But the elderly woman stood. “I’d rather choose to trust than freeze here,” she said. “I’ll go.”
We walked in a line, holding hands, Tom leading with a flashlight. The snow reached our knees. He stopped to help those who’d fallen, carrying the elderly woman on his back. His house was small — a single room with a wood stove, but warm. The driver immediately spotted a phone on the wall and called the rescue station. Then Tom made tea and shared his bread and dried meat.
“Why help us?” someone asked. He pointed to a photo — a young woman, smiling. “My daughter. She was helped once by strangers in a storm. She said the world runs on kindness.”
Hours later, the rescue team arrived with a bus, its lights flashing. As we prepared to board, I reached into my pocket — the locket was gone. I panicked. I couldn’t face my grandmother’s disappointed eyes. “I have to go back. It must be in Tom’s house.”
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I ran through the snow toward his door, the locket heavy on my mind.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The rescue bus waited, headlights cutting through the darkness.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I ran through the snow toward his door, the locket heavy on my mind. The door opened before I could knock. Tom stood there, holding the gold chain in his rough palm. “Looking for this?” My heart leaped. I grabbed it, the metal warm from his hand. Relief flooded through me, sharp and sweet. The rescue bus horn sounded in the distance. I pressed my grandmother’s dried fruit into his hands — all I had to give — and spoke soft thanks. He smiled, weathered face softening. “Tell her to get well,” he said. I nodded, turned, and ran through the snow.
The rescue bus waited, headlights cutting through the darkness. I climbed on, breathless, the locket safe in my pocket. Through the window, I watched Tom stand in his doorway, growing smaller, then disappearing into the night. I never saw him again. But years later, as a doctor, I kept that memory. Every winter, when patients arrived scared, I offered them tea and listened to their stories. “The world runs on kindness,” I’d say, remembering Tom’s rough hands holding my treasure. It didn’t matter whose words they were. The kindness was real.

It was a week after my mom had passed away, and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — stuck with me. I felt obliged (有义务的) to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.
So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “Jane, I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.
Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
24. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?
A. She felt it hard to finish the race.
B. She had no time to join in the event.
C. She thought the research meaningless.
D. She was reminded of her mother’s death.
25. What mainly helped the author recover from her mom’s death?
A. The company of her friends.
B. The inspiration from her mom.
C. The pleasure in going for a run.
D. The success in organizing an event.
26. Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom?
A. Considerate and polite. B. Brave and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and caring. D. Outgoing and patient.
27. What can we infer about the author from the passage?
A. She healed via running. B. She was good at running.
C. She won the race. D. She still feels guilty.
C
I’ve always loved books. As a child, I’d carry them everywhere, much to my teachers’ annoyance. Books were my constant companions long before the digital age. But with smartphones, audiobooks have increased sharply in popularity, causing criticism that they aren’t “real” books and that listening to them isn’t reading.
Reading books and listening to audiobooks are different experiences. They engage different brain areas and suit different contexts. However, I’ve come to appreciate the unique advantages of audiobooks. Many feature voice actors who bring characters to life and add tunes to songs that are only words in print. Cary Elwes’ As You Wish: Amazing Stories from the Making of The Princess Bride is a great example. Elwes narrates (叙述) the book himself and invites other film actors to narrate their sections.
The belief that audiobooks don’t “count” as reading is elitist (精英主义的) and discourages literacy (读写能力). If someone struggles with print books, audiobooks can be a lifeline. Unfortunately, people who prefer audiobooks are often derided. If we want to create a world of readers, we must support all reading forms.
Rainbow Rowell’s novel Fangirl includes a character who struggles with reading. He doesn’t have a reading-based problem or ADHD but just can’t focus on text. To survive college, he records lectures and discusses topics with classmates. Reading, in any form, helps enhance critical thinking and engage with diverse views. Universities should encourage this.
I prefer audiobooks for long drives or multitasking, while I love the touch-based experience of physical books. Both formats have unique attractions. The key is to applaud the diversity of reading experiences.
In conclusion, audiobooks are a valuable form of literature. They combine well with traditional reading and provide access to stories for those who might otherwise be left out. Instead of criticizing people’s reading choices, we should celebrate all forms of engagement. What matters is the joy and knowledge from engaging with stories.
28. What advantage of audiobooks is highlighted?
A. They cost less than print books.
B. They improve listening skills.
C. They voice life into stories.
D. They get readers focused.
29. What does the underlined word “derided” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Ignored. B. Criticized.
C. Misunderstood. D. Cheated.
30. Why is the character in Fangirl mentioned?
A. To show audiobooks aid struggling readers.
B. To prove college lectures are too hard.
C. To explain causes of reading disabilities.
D. To argue for recording all school texts.
31. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Audiobooks will replace print books soon.
B. Reading forms should be equally valued.
C. Physical books offer better experiences.
D. People should read more diverse stories.
D
A team led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang at the University of California, Irvine’s Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health has developed the most comprehensive maps yet of how genes directly influence one another in brain cells affected by Alzheimer’s disease. These maps reveal which genes are actively controlling others across different cell types in the brain.
To accomplish this, the researchers created a powerful new AI-based system called SIGNET. Unlike traditional tools that only detect genes that appear to move together, it is designed to uncover true causal (因果的) connections. Using this approach, the team identified important biological pathways that may contribute to memory loss and the gradual breakdown of brain tissue.
“Different types of brain cells play distinct roles in Alzheimer’s disease, but how they interact at the molecular level has remained unclear,” said Min Zhang. “Our work provides cell type-specific maps of gene regulation in the Alzheimer’s brain, shifting the field from observing correlations to uncovering the causal mechanisms that actively drive disease progression.”
To build these exhaustive maps, the team analyzed single-cell molecular data from brain samples donated by 272 participants. SIGNET was designed as a scalable, high-performance computing system that combines single-cell RNA sequencing (测序) with whole-genome sequencing data.
Using this method, they constructed causal gene regulatory networks for six major brain cell types. This made it possible to determine which genes are likely directing the activity of others, something conventional correlation-based methods cannot reliably complete.
“Our approach takes advantage of information encoded (编码) in DNA to enable the identification of true causal relationships between genes in the brain,” said Dabao Zhang, co-corresponding author and professor of epidemiology.
The researchers found that the most significant gene disturbances occur in excitatory neurons — the nerve cells that send activating signals — where nearly 6,000 cause-and-effect interactions revealed extensive genetic rewiring as Alzheimer’s progresses.
The team also identified hundreds of “hub genes” that function as central regulators, influencing many other genes and likely playing an important role in harmful changes in the brain. These hub genes could become valuable targets for earlier diagnosis and future treatment.
32. What is the key advantage of SIGNET compared to traditional methods?
A. It focuses on identifying moving genes.
B. It can analyze data from lots of brain samples.
C. It can reveal true cause-and-effect gene relationships.
D. It tells RNA sequencing from whole-genome sequencing.
33. What does the underlined word “exhaustive” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Detailed. B. Rough. C. Scientific. D. Official.
34. How did the researchers find true causal relationships between brain genes?
A. By using a traditional computer system. B. By employing DNA-encoded data.
C. By detecting six major brain cell types. D. By interpreting nerve cells signals.
35. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Principles of gene function. B. The severity of the brain diseases.
C. The role of gene changes. D. Potential application of the “hub genes”.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
As a child growing up there are many different paths available to navigate one’s way through adolescence into adulthood. I was fortunate to have had the guidance of my father, who had many hobbies in his life. ____36____ He loved talking about them to anyone who would listen.
____37____ I was always looking for pennies — whether given as change or picked up off the ground — and checking to see if they were “Wheaties”, pennies made from 1909 to 1958. Some Lincoln Wheat Cents were quite valuable, but for me, the real joy was the search itself.
My father passed away last week. Although he will be missed, there is no sadness in his passing. He lived nearly 97 years of a full and meaningful life. During his final moments, I whispered in his ear that I needed a sign after he left us. ____38____
The next day, my sister and I were going through his old clothes when something fell out and hit the floor — it was a 1928 Wheat penny. There was no way to know how long it had been there. Some might call it a coincidence. ____39____ The fact that it was also a Wheat penny proved what I already knew — it was him. It could have easily been put aside with the clothes, but it found its way to me.
Later, I was talking to my neighbor and told him the story. ____40____ However, a few days later, he came over with a bag of pennies he had. Inside it, he found two more 1928 Wheat pennies — one for each of my sisters. Our father is no longer with us, but he is still here.
A. He passed the habit on to me.
B. I figured he wouldn’t think any more of it.
C. To me, it was my father handing me the coin.
D. Old coins carried the quiet weight of the past.
E. Collecting coins was one of his greatest interests.
F. It specifically involved a 1928 coin — the year he was born.
G. His soft words and warm hands supported me through my youth.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The bus broke down on the mountain road, 20 kilometers from the nearest town. Outside, snow fell heavily, covering the ground in white. Inside, 12 passengers sat in panic — city people, unprepared for mountain weather. I was seventeen, traveling alone to visit my grandmother in the hospital, carrying her old locket (盒式项链坠) that she’d asked me to bring — her most treasured possession, containing photos of her and my late grandfather. My phone showed no signal.
The driver tried the engine. Nothing. He checked the fuel, the battery. “It’s dead,” he announced. “We wait for rescue.”
Ten minutes passed. The wind grew stronger. People wrapped themselves in coats. An elderly woman shivered violently. A mother tried to keep her crying baby warm. Obviously, we needed shelter.
Then the man in the back row stood up. “I’m Tom,” he said. “I live three kilometers up the road. Follow me.” He was about fifty, rough hands, work clothes, a weathered face. Some refused, afraid of a stranger. But the elderly woman stood. “I’d rather choose to trust than freeze here,” she said. “I’ll go.”
We walked in a line, holding hands, Tom leading with a flashlight. The snow reached our knees. He stopped to help those who’d fallen, carrying the elderly woman on his back. His house was small — a single room with a wood stove, but warm. The driver immediately spotted a phone on the wall and called the rescue station. Then Tom made tea and shared his bread and dried meat.
“Why help us?” someone asked. He pointed to a photo — a young woman, smiling. “My daughter. She was helped once by strangers in a storm. She said the world runs on kindness.”
Hours later, the rescue team arrived with a bus, its lights flashing. As we prepared to board, I reached into my pocket — the locket was gone. I panicked. I couldn’t face my grandmother’s disappointed eyes. “I have to go back. It must be in Tom’s house.”
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I ran through the snow toward his door, the locket heavy on my mind.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The rescue bus waited, headlights cutting through the darkness.
