Removing the tumor without impacting Maria's speech and cognition wouldn't be easy. As a result,doctors determined Maria would need to be kept awake during the brain 第4页共12页 surgery!"There was a big risk Maria would lose her speech and it was important that she talked to the team during the surgery,"neurosurgeon Carlos Rocha explained. Brain surgery is scary enough.But needless to say,this particular operation was terrifying.And Maria admits she found the idea of surgeons working on her brain while she was awake was frightening.So;the team delayed the operation until Maria was psychologically prepared for everything involved. When it came time to operate,doctors used anesthesia to keep Maria "slightly sleepy,"but still able to speak and respond.The team planned to quiz her on colors, names,.etc.“We had prearranged to do speech mapping with electrical stimuli(刺激物) to the brain and tests during surgery asking her to name objects and colors,read and talk,"Carlos said.But Maria surprised everyone when she started singing a song written by herself as doctors began removing the tumor! Maria's actions completely stunned the doctors.Not only did it provide guarantee for the doctors that Maria's speech would be just fine,but it moved the team in a powerful way."There were a number of professionals involved in this procedure and it was an emotional experience.Everyone couldn't stop talking about her courage," anesthesiologist Paula Fialho said.The 8-hour surgery went well,and within only 4 days, Maria headed home from the hospital.She's walking,talking,and is well on her way to a full recovery! 24.What can we leamn about the brain tumor in paragraph 2? A.It was at a position hard to tackle.B.It kept the patients awake. C.It was diagnosed 45 years ago. D.It put the doctors at risk. 25.Why did the doctors postpone the operation? A.Maria demanded a better surgery plan B.Maria needed enough mental preparation. C.Maria longed to have more speech practice. D.Maria was too scared to accept it completely. 26.How did the doctors make Maria safe and sound during the operation? A.They asked her to sing a song written by herself. B.They gave her a careful brain test with mapping. C.They used anesthesia to make her sleep the whole time. D.They helped her react to something by speaking 27.Which ofthe following best describes Maria? A.Enthusiastic and ambitious B.Cooperative and generous C.Professional and emotional D.Optimistic and courageous 第5页共12页 C Electrolyte (drinks have become increasingly popular on gym floors and running routes,widely promoted as essential for boosting athletic performance and speeding up post-exercise recovery.Once used only by top athletes to cope with intense training in hot conditions,they now attract casual gym-goers and office workers as a simple daily way to stay hydrated（水分充足).These products, ranging from ready-to-drink sports drinks to powders that mix with water,can cost a few pounds per day,adding up to a considerable sum over time. Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a key role in regulating nerves, supporting muscle function and maintaining fluid balance in the human body.Professor Graeme Close,a leading sports nutrition researcher at Liverpool John Moores University,points out that most people are wasting money on electrolyte drinks unnecessarily.A regular,well-designed diet can easily supply enough electrolytes for the average person's daily needs. However,during long and intense exercise where people sweat heavily,their electrolyte levels may drop significantly."If you exercise for a long period of time, especially if you are a salty sweater,adding electrolytes in the form of sodium()is a good choice,"Close says.Besides,electrolyte drinks can increase thirst,which helps people drink more water-something particularly necessary during extended workouts. For moderate exercise'such as a short trip to the gym,electrolytes are not necessary at all."Just sip water regularly.That's more than good enough,so keep your hard-earned money for other things,"Close advises.Of course,if you just enjoy the taste and it encourages you to drink more during exercise,it is not a bad thing.Instead of buying expensive commercial powders,he suggests a simple homemade mix: two-thirds water,one-third fruit juice (like pineapple juice)and a tiny pinch of salt.He also notes there's little scientific evidence that taking.electrolytes first thing in the morning brings any real benefit. 28.Which best describes the current market for electrolyte drinks? A.Primarily used for top athletes in extreme training. B.Mainly sold as costly nerve disease treatments C.Shifted from professional to the general market. D.Chiefly sold as sports drinks to professionals. 29.Why does Professor Close think people waste money on electrolyte drinks? A.Such drinks are mostly just plain water. B.A normal balanced diet offers enough electrolytes. 第6页共12页 C.People mix electrolyte powders poorly. D.The body maintains fluid balance by itself. 30.What can be inferred about the recommended homemade mix? A.It is a cheap alternative to expensive drinks. B.It only works with special pineapple juice. C.It is worse for the body than commercial products. D.It works best when taken in the morning. 31.What is Professor Close's attitude towards electrolyte drinks? A.Supportive. B.Disapproving. C.Objective. D.Unconcerned. D Today,the widespread ability to use Buy Now,Pay Later(BNPL)services in online retail is transforming how consumers pay for purchases.Rather than relying on traditional payment methods,consumers are increasingly using BNPL services to spread payments across interest-free installments(免息分期付款). In new research,we found that BNPL adoption led to immediate and substantial increases in spending.Consumers who adopted BNPL were more likely to purchase, with purchase probability increasing from 17%to 26%.Furthermore,when adopting consumers made purchases,their basket sizes were 10%larger on average than before the introduction of BNPL. Furthermore,the data also reveals a significant aspect of BNPL's influence on consumer spending patterns.In subsequent tracking studies,it was observed that these increases in spending were not transitory:They lasted for.close to six months,showing that BNPL drives lasting gains rather than short-term rises in consumer spending. To understand how BNPL increases spending,we conducted experiments and.found that participants who paid in installments felt less financially constrained(财务受限) than those who paid in full.BNPL's ability to divide payments into smaller amounts gives consumers a sense of better control over their budget.Smaller payments seemed more manageable,even when larger payments were delayed.Additionally,the smaller amounts made consumers feel the cost was less important,encouraging them to add more items to their purchases. At first glance,BNPL may seem like a win-win for both sellers and consumers.However,our findings suggest that sellers are most likely to see increased spending from financially constrained consumers who rely on credit cards. Given that BNPL can encourage overborrowing and lead to financial pressure,it's 第7页共12页 important to be careful about who is offered BNPL and how much they can use.Like a tempting dessert,BNPL can seem appealing short-term but carries risks if overused, leading to a financial "sugar crash" 32.What do we know about BNPL? A.It sets up a minimum purchase. B.It involves high-interest fees. C.It raises the price of products. D.It boosts consumer spending. 33.What does the underlined word "transitory"in paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Temporary.B.Fixed. C.Rapid. D.Permanent. 34.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Ways of using BNPL services. B.A comparison of different payment methods. C.BNPL's influence on consumers. D.Disadvantages of paying in installments. 35.Why does the author mention "tempting dessert"in the last paragraph? A.To urge people to stop using BNPL. B.To warn people to be cautious about BNPL. C.To state the benefits of BNPL for sellers. D.To show the wide application of BNPL. 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最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How Nature Helps Teens Beat Stress Being a teenager today is stressful.With academic pressure,social media anxiety, and uncertain futures,many young people feel exhausted.While therapy and medication are common solutions,there is a simpler,cheaper,and more effective remedy available to everyone:spending time in nature.36 It calms the nervous system. When you walk into a forest or sit by a lake,your body relaxes.Studies show that exposure to natural environments lowers cortisol (the stress hormone)levels. 37 Your heart rate slows down,and your breathing becomes deeper.It is like hitting a reset button for your brain. It improves focus and creativity. Modern life bombards us with screens and notifications,which fragment our attention.Nature provides a soft fascination.38 This allows your directed attention to rest,improving your ability to concentrate when you return to your studies. 第8页共12页 Many famous thinkers,including Einstein,credited their best ideas to moments spent walking alone in nature. It builds resilience. Spending time outdoors often involves unpredictable elements,like sudden rain or a steep hill.39 Learning to adapt to these small discomforts teaches you that you can handle unexpected changes in life.You realize that you are stronger and more capable than you thought It fosters connection. Social media often makes teens feel isolated and inadequate.In nature,these barriers fall away.40 Whether you are hiking with friends or volunteering for a tree-planting project,sharing experiences in nature helps you form deeper, more authentic bonds. So,put down your phone,step outside,and let nature do its magic.Your mind and body will thank you. A.The beauty ofnature distracts you from your worries and fears. B.Your muscles loosen,and your mind stops racing. C.Overcoming these challenges builds confidence. D.Doctors suggest that teens spend at least two hours a week outdoors. E.It is a powerful tool for mental health. F.Nature offers a break from the noise of daily life. G.It is much easier to talk to someone while walking side by side. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was a freezing winter night.I huddled in the corner of a 24-hour convenience store,holding a cup of hot chocolate that had already gone41.

His legs swung in the air,and his chest became firmly stuck between the bricks.A wave of panic hit him-he couldn't go up or down.The dusty air made it hard to breathe, and he started to cough. "Milo!Help me!"Leo managed to call out,his voice rough and weak.Down in the living room,Milo heard the strange sound."Leo?Where are you?"he shouted,dropping his toy truck.He ran to the fireplace and looked up.What he saw made his eyes go wide:two dirty feet moving in the air,coming from inside the chimney!"Leo!You're stuck!"he cried out. Milo pulled with all his small strength,but Leo didn't move an inch.He ran to the kitchen and brought back the longest wooden spoon he could find,trying to pass it up to Leo for support,but Leo's fingers couldn't reach it.Nothing worked.He stepped back, his mind racing.He needed a better plan. 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。 Then,a great idea struck him-the rope in the garage.
