B Arshad Nadeem made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 27-year-old set a new Olympic record for the longest javelin throw — 92.97 meters and has become the first Pakistani to secure an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games. To celebrate the historic victory, the government gave him a Honda Civic car which has a special registration number of “PAK 92.97” and a record amount of money: 250 million rupees ($ 897,000). And one more historic thing: He is undoubtedly the first Olympic champion to receive a buffalo as a gift from his father-in-law. “I had been hoping for a piece of land since my father-in-law is wealthy,” Nadeem said seriously when a TV show host joked about the gift. “But a buffalo is far more valuable than that.” Actually that’s an understatement. The buffalo holds deep cultural significance in Nadeem’s hometown. “In rural communities, a buffalo is considered one of the most honorable and valuable gifts, much like camels in desert regions like Saudi Arabia,” said Rashad Bukhari, a cultural commentator born and raised in Punjab. Buffalo, which are called the “black gold” of Pakistan, are also valued for their milk. With a higher nutrition content than cow’s milk, buffalo milk makes up 72% of the nation’s milk supply. The milk is also well-suited to make ghee, a special butter that is a key part of the Pakistani diet. “An average buffalo lives for about 20 years. A female usually starts producing milk after birthing a first calf at 3 years old. Then it will continue giving milk for the rest of its life even if the calf is not around,” explained Dr. Burhan-e-Azam, an animal nutritionist at a buffalo research institute. “That’s why Pakistanis call a buffalo ‘a poor man’s bank’.” The importance of a buffalo for Punjab can be shown from the fact that in ancient times it was part of the dowry (嫁妆). But for Nadeem, the buffalo is not just symbolic. “My father-in-law’s gift ensures that I will have fresh milk as I train for my next competition,” added the javelin king. 24. What does “PAK 92.97” in the first paragraph stand for? A. The date of the record-breaking event. B. The new Olympic record set by a Pakistani. C. The price of the car given to the javelin king. D. The birth date of the Pakistani Olympic champion. 25. Why did Rashad Bukhari mention the camels? A. To stress the symbolism of a buffalo. B. To illustrate the size of a buffalo. C. To show the surviving ability of a buffalo. D. To compare the nutrition content. 26. What is special about ghee? A. It is nutritious. B. It is rare in Pakistan. C. It is black. D. It is made from cow’s milk. 27. What message has Arshad Nadeem most probably got from the buffalo gift? A. The dowry is very traditional. B. His country needs more victories. C. His wife’s family is very poor. D. His father-in-law cares for him a great deal. C Peru is prepared to approve new laws that would make it easier to investigate and punish researchers who engage in academic cheating, including paying to have their names added to a paper. The move comes as Peru’s national science agency seeks to crack down on authorship buying and other dishonest practices. It recently removed two scientists accused of dishonest publications from a national registry that is key to receiving government sponsor, job promotions, and salary bonuses. And officials are investigating more than 170 other researchers at a Peruvian media report claimed were involved in academic misconduct, including 72 listed in the national registry who work at 14 universities in Peru. The new laws will empower universities and government officials to punish such behavior. Dishonest publishing practices “transcend mere moral misbehavior” because they enable researchers to obtain government and private funding without telling the truth, says Edward Málaga Trillo, a member of Congress who is the driving force behind the bills, which lawmakers are expected to finalize early this year. “These individuals are operating academic cheating.” Peru’s academic community has been struggling with a rising tide of false authorship and related problems. One cause, some researchers say, is a 2014 law that aimed to stimulate research by rewarding researchers who boost their publishing output. For example, under a scoring system used by universities, researchers can earn five points for authorship in a high-impact journal, and two points when the journal is lower impact. A massing points can bring bonus payments and career promotion. Signs of dishonest publishing can be obvious, notes Nahuel Monteblanco, president of Cientificos. pe, a Peruvian group that investigates misconduct. Many of the papers cited by Punto Final have numerous co-authors from different nations with few prior publications on the same subject. “If your colleague consistently publishes 20 articles a year with co-authors from other countries, that’s highly suspect,” Monteblanco says. 28. What action did Peru take recently to address academic cheating? A. Fining 72 offenders for academic dishonesty. B. Disqualifying 2 scientists from a national registry. C. Punishing 170 researchers for academic misconduct. D. Withdrawing government fund from 14 universities. 29. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “transcend” in paragraph 3? A. Change. B. Strengthen. C. Go beyond. D. Approve of. 30. What do we know about the 2014 law in Peru? A. It advocated a fair scoring system. B. It applied to high-impact journals. C. It led to an increase in false authorship. D. It aimed to punish dishonest publishing. 31. The most suspicion might be given to a productive researcher with ___________. A. career promotion B. consistent research focus C. few citations by Punto Final D. co-authors from various countries D Evolution (进化) can perform extraordinary makeovers; today’s airborne songbirds evolved from the wingless, earthbound dinosaurs that wandered millions of years ago. But some organisms seem to be unchanged — in other words, escape natural selection. The coelacanth, a modern-day fish, is nearly identical to its 410-million-year-old fossils. Scientists have long wondered how these species do so. It has been assumed that natural selection keeps some species unchanged by selecting for moderate or average qualities (stabilizing selection) rather than selecting for more extreme qualities that would cause a species to change (directional selection). But a study published in the National Academy of Sciences USA contradicts this idea, showing that evolution constantly favors different qualities in seemingly unchanging animals to improve short-term survival. In the long term, though, “all that evolution cancels out and leads to no change,” says the study’s lead author, James Stroud. Stroud and his colleagues studied four lizard (蜥蜴) species; all relatively unchanged for 20 million years. The researchers caught members of these populations every six months for three years. They measured each lizard’s head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size of its sticky toes (脚趾头), noting which individuals survived. Stroud expected to observe stabilizing selection at work preserving moderate qualities. Instead he saw clearer evidence of directional selection: some lizards with unique characteristics, such as stickier toes, survived better. “The study offers a good explanation for why we see what we think is stabilizing selection,” says Tadashi Fukami, an ecologist studying evolution at Stanford University. Many new qualities are evolving in the short term, but they don’t provide a crucial advantage over the long term. In other words, species staying unchanged may simply have found the best possible combination of qualities for lasting success in their environment. So what happens when the lizards’ environment changes more dramatically? To help answer this bigger question, Stroud is still making trips to visit the lizards. 32. Why does the author mention the “coelacanth fish” in paragraph 1? A. To demonstrate the power of evolution. B. To add evidence to natural selection. C. To give an example of unchanged species. D. To prove species’ extraordinary makeovers. 33. What’s the focus of paragraph 2? A. Unsolved mysteries. B. A common belief. C. A sharp contrast. D. Unique Characteristics. 34. How did Stroud conduct his research? A. By tracking research objects. B. By analyzing lizard fossils. C. By illustrating stabilizing selection. D. By categorizing qualities of lizards. 35. What will Stroud probably do in the future? A. Make trips to visit lizard experts. B. Summarize average features of lizards. C. Reveal the best combinations of qualities. D. Examine lizards under extreme conditions. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. 36 People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take. Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. 37 In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates (not all at once, of course). It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. 38 But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. 39 Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? 40 Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it all into practice. A. You’ll also find that you sleep better. B. Even a simple smile can work wonders. C. One essential factor is human relationships. D. In the end, happiness comes from good sleep. E. If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. F. Sustainable happiness may be more spiritual than material. G. Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth. 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Growing up in poverty in rural Kenya, Nelly Cheboi watched her single mother work tirelessly so she could attend school.

I used to be a total couch potato and I’d rather stick to my classroom seat or dorm bed than step outside for even a minute. For meals, I always reached for instant noodles or fried chicken. After school, I would spend all my time on mobile games until midnight, paying no attention to any kind of physical activity. As time went by, the situation became worse, and slowly, my body began to send out warnings. Every class felt like a big struggle. I felt sleepy in class all the time, and I could hardly focus on the teacher’s words. My teacher noticed my tired eyes more than once, and finally, she held my arm gently and told me to go to the school doctor for a check-up. After a thorough examination, the doctor said my poor health was caused by too little exercise, irregular sleep, and an unhealthy diet. She frowned (皱眉) slightly as she warned me that if I didn’t change, it would harm my long-term health. When my classmate Jason heard about this, he kindly invited me to join the school running club. To be honest, I felt ashamed of my poor fitness. So, his invitation fell on deaf ears. I stuck to my old habits, telling myself I was just “not the sporty type.” I thought I would be fine, but my body didn’t lie. Last week, we had the regular 800-meter test in PE class. As everyone else lined up, my heart sank. I dragged my feet to the starting line, hoping just to finish. But after only 200 meters, it was as if all the warnings came crashing down on me. I was gasping (喘气) for air, and I had to stop, my face pale not just from effort, but from a sudden, clear realisation of how weak I had become. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was at that moment that I recalled Jason’s invitation. _____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks of regular running brought great changes to my life. __________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
