参考答案 1~5：BBACA 6~10：CAABC 11~15：BCACB 16~20：CBBCA 听力材料： (Text 1) W: Why are you in such a hurry? M: Tomorrow is Children's Day, but I haven't got a gift for my brother. (Text 2) M: I haven't seen your mother for years. Is that her? Look, with dark hair and glasses, and I remember she has blue eyes. W: That's not her. Her hair is white now and she doesn't wear glasses anymore. (Text 3) W: Jerry, how often do you contact your friends? M: Twice a month by email. What about you, Wendy? W: Once a week over the phone. (Text 4) W: Tomorrow evening is Tony's birthday party. What should I take? M: He likes science very much. You're supposed to take something about science. (Text 5) W: It's raining again. It is always raining these days. M: Oh, it won't last long. The weather report says we will have fine weather this afternoon. (Text 6) W: What a pity that our city team was only one point behind the winning team! They nearly won. M: Yes, but they did our great job and tried their best in the baseball final today. W: If the third baseman had rushed into the home base, it could have been a draw. In that case, there could have been extra innings. The result might change. M: Anything might happen during a game. It's not an easy job. We should take their feelings into consideration. W: You're right. What also impressed me was the snacks in the stadium. The chicken nuggets were so delicious. I really wanted to have more. M: They were a good match for the beer and welcomed by the crowd. (Text 7) W: Hi. My name's Alex. M: Alex. Oh, you're Jim's friend. W: Yeah. We worked in the same office until he moved to Romania. You look a lot like Jim. Are you related? M: Yeah, we're cousins. His mom and my mom are sisters. W: Do you live here? Around here? M: No. I live in San Francisco. I just came for the wedding. W: San Francisco? Me, too. I just came for the wedding, too. M: Oh, great! What do you do in San Francisco? W: I'm an art director in a fashion magazine. How about you? M: Well, I'm not an artist, too. I make films. (Text 8) W: Colin, you got the highest score on the English exam again. How I envy you! M: You did make progress this time, especially in reading and writing parts. W: But I'm still dissatisfied with my spoken English. It's my biggest problem. M: Cheer up. Let me help you find the right way to learn English. When you're studying a language, the keyword is patience. It's of the greatest importance, because nobody can master a language all at once. W: Oh, yeah. But what am I supposed to do? Find some foreign friends or go abroad to learn it? M: Not exactly. You can just make full use of every morning to practice English. W: Should I get up earlier every day? M: You don't have to do so. Actually, there are indeed many chances in the morning that you can grasp to learn English. For example, you can listen to English news while you are dressing and washing. At the same time, you can imitate and speak English loudly. You need to take every opportunity to learn. W: Practice makes perfect, right? M: You said it. Text 9 W: Why don't we first visit the art museum in the morning? M: OK. I like that idea. And where do you want to eat lunch? W: How about going to an Indian restaurant? M: Hmm. W: The guide recommends one downtown a few blocks from the museum. M: That sounds great. After that, how about visiting the zoo? It says here that there are some very unique animals not found anywhere else. W: Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not really interested in going there. M: Really? W: Yeah. Why don't we go shopping instead? There are supposed to be some really nice places to pick up souvenirs. M: Nah, I don't think that's a good idea. We only have few traveler's checks left, and I only have 50 dollars left in cash. W: Oh well. Let's take the subway down to the seashore and walk along the beach. M: Sounds like a wonderful plan. Text 10 W: Get ready to say goodbye to today's warm, sunny weather. Just when millions of people are getting ready for the Christmas holiday, three storms are expected to make problems for holiday travelers. None of the storms will be strong, but the cold air will make travelling difficult. The first storm will arrive on this weekend. It will bring rain to the northeast, but warm air in New York City might cause some fog and low clouds. It will be hard for drivers to see the road clearly. Later in the week, snow will come to the northwest states, with three inches falling in Saint Paul, Minnesota. And a few days later, just when the New Year's celebrations are scheduled, Boston will be covered with freezing rain. The ice will cause problems for anyone trying to travel on foot, with one inch of ice expected on city roads. New Year will be cold in Chicago, too, with a strong wind blowing water from the river onto any hoping to celebrate by the water. 21．D 22．C 23．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了2024年在Crested Butte举行的ARTumn Festival的相关信息，包括活动时间、地点、参展艺术家的申请信息、展位规定以及退款政策等。 21．细节理解题。根据Applying information部分中的“Judges review the artwork without knowing the artists’ identities, so make sure your identity isn’t visible on the artwork or in the title.(评委在不知道艺术家身份的情况下审查作品，所以确保你的身份不会在作品或标题中可见。)”可知，要确保作品上或标题中看不到身份信息；由此可知，艺术家在提交的作品时必须避免在图像上包含他们的名字。故选D项。 22．细节理解题。根据Regulations部分中的“Exhibitors agree to remain set up for the entire duration of the festival. Exhibitors are responsible for setting up their booths (摊位) and also for cleaning up their exhibitor space at the end of each day.(参展商同意在整个电影节期间保持布置好的状态。参展商负责布置他们的展位，并在每天结束时清理他们的参展商空间。)”可知，参展者负责布置展位，并在每天结束时清理参展空间；由此可知，参展商在每天结束的时候维持好自己的摊位。故选C项。 23．细节理解题。根据 Refund (退款) policy部分中的“Please note that we do not give refunds, and we will issue a company credit, if an exhibitor cancels a show 60 days prior to the event.(请注意，如果参展商在展会前60天取消展会，我们不退款，我们将开具公司信用单。)”可知，如果参展者在展会开始前60天取消展会，活动举办方将不予退款，参展商可以获得公司信用单。故选B项。 24．C 25．B 26．D 27．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者回忆童年时家庭搭配协调的万圣节服装，并探究如今家庭万圣节服装是否依旧流行。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“There’s just something about being a kid that made it so much better. And for me, that was something coordinated (搭配协调的) family costumes.(小时候的万圣节总有着一种特别的魔力，让一切都变得更美好。而对我来说，那份魔力就来自于搭配协调的家庭服装。)”可知，搭配协调的家庭服装让作者童年的万圣节很特别。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But looking back on it now, I loved our homemade costumes so much more because those costumes were memorable and made with love.(但现在回想起来，我更喜欢我们自制的服装，因为那些服装令人难忘，而且是用爱制作的。)”可知，作者现在认为自制的万圣节服装很有意义。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Recalling my experiences, I wondered if other families did the same. I decided to look around on some popular Halloween store websites to see if they had specific collections of family costumes.(回想起我的经历，我想知道其他家庭是否也这样做。我决定在一些受欢迎的万圣节商店网站上看看是否有专门的家庭服装系列。)”可知，作者访问一些万圣节商店网站是为了查看家庭万圣节服装的流行程度。 27．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者回忆童年时家庭搭配协调的万圣节服装，并探究如今家庭万圣节服装是否依旧流行，最后表明虽然作者童年搭配协调的万圣节服装的日子已经过去，但那些美好时光的记忆将永远留存，由此可知，B项“家庭万圣节服装：永恒的传统”最适合作文章标题。 28．B 29．C 30．A 31．D 【分析】本文是一篇科普说明文。介绍了遥远北极的神秘居民——独角鲸。 28．词义猜测题。根据文章第二段画线词后的“why narwhals have this strange long tooth(为什么独角鲸有这种奇怪的长牙？)”以及“Some think that the tusk is a tool for survival, as they could possibly use it to break up ice or spear fish for meals. However, the vast majority of female narwhals don't have tusks, and females tend to live longer than males. Most scientists now think the tusk provides no advantage for survival.（一些人认为长牙是一种生存工具，因为它们可以用它来打碎冰或刺鱼吃。然而，绝大多数雌性独角鲸没有长牙，而且雌性往往比雄性活得更长。大多数科学家现在认为长牙对生存没有任何好处）”可知，科学家们有的认为独角鲸的长牙是为生存而生，有的认为长牙对生存没有用处，直到2014年的研究才发现这种长牙可能是一个感觉器官，而之前都是一些“猜测”，故选B。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第二段末句“The finding suggests that the tusk might also be a sensory organ.（这一发现表明，长牙也可能是一种感觉器官。）”可知，研究发现独角鲸的长牙可能是一个感觉器官，故选C。 30．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ Researches suggest that narwhals are the most vulnerable （易受伤害的）marine mammals to human activities in the Arctic because these isolated creatures are highly sensitive to ship activities. Their response to changing conditions near the pole could provide insight into larger changes in Earth's future.  (研究表明，独角鲸是北极地区最容易受到人类活动影响的海洋哺乳动物，因为这些孤立的生物对船舶活动非常敏感。它们对极地附近环境变化的反应可以让我们了解地球未来更大的变化。)”可知独角鲸在气候变化面前痛苦挣扎，是最容易受到人类活动影响的海洋哺乳动物，以及它们对极地附近环境变化的反应可以提供对地球未来更大变化的洞察，可知必须保护独角鲸，故选A。 31．主旨大意题。文章第一段“The narwhal is a mysterious resident of the remote Arctic.（独角鲸是遥远北极的神秘居民）”引出独角鲸；文章第二段“Experts have long speculated why narwhals have this strange long tooth.（专家们长期以来一直在猜测独角鲸为什么有这种奇怪的长牙）”讲述对独角鲸的长牙的各种猜测；第三段“Narwhals are an important subsistence resource （生存资源）for high Arctic communities.（独角鲸是北极高地社区的重要生存资源。）”以及第四段“Narwhal tusk is protected now.（独角鲸的长牙现在受到保护。）”可知本文主要介绍了遥远北极的神秘居民——独角鲸，它的长牙、对极地居民的价值以及气候变化对它的影响，故选D。 32．A 33．B 34．B 35．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蚂蚁辨别细胞的特殊技能。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered that ant species Formica fusca (丝光褐林蚁) has a well-developed sense of smell. (法国国家科学研究中心的研究人员发现，蚂蚁物种——丝光褐林蚁具有发达的嗅觉)”可知，丝光褐林蚁具有敏锐的嗅觉。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“In a second step, the researchers exposed the ants to two different smells. One was a new smell and the second was the smell of the cancer cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancer cells. As such, the scientists found that ants distinguished between cancer and healthy cells. (在第二步中，研究人员将蚂蚁暴露在两种不同的气味中。一种是新的气味，第二种是癌细胞的气味。一旦这项测试成功，研究人员就将蚂蚁暴露于不同的癌细胞中。因此，科学家们发现蚂蚁区分了癌症和健康细胞)”可知，科学家在进行研究时考虑到细胞的不同气味。故选B。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段““Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis and used for the specific detection of cancer,” the researchers explained. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. “On the other hand, insects can be easily raised in controlled conditions, and hundreds of individuals can be trained with very few trials,” the researchers pointed out. “Our approach could potentially be applied to a range of other complex smell detection tasks including the detection of explosives, spoiled food, or other diseases.” (“狗的鼻子非常适合医学诊断，并用于癌症的特定检测，”研究人员解释说。但是，培训他们这样做需要几个月到一年的时间。“另一方面，昆虫可以很容易地在受控的条件下饲养，并且只需很少的试验就可以训练成百上千个个体，”研究人员指出。“我们的方法可能应用于一系列其他复杂的气味检测任务，包括检测爆炸物，变质食品或其他疾病)”可知，蚂蚁在检测癌细胞方面比狗的成本更低。故选B。 35．推理判断题。根据第一段“Ants have the ability to sniff out cancer cells in humans, a new study has discovered, suggesting they could be used for cancer diagnosis in future. (一项新的研究发现，蚂蚁有能力嗅出人类的癌细胞，这表明它们将来可用于癌症诊断)”可知，文章主要讲述蚂蚁有能力嗅出人类的癌细胞。由此推知，作者的写作目的是：告知蚂蚁辨别细胞的特殊技能。故选D。 36．E 37．G 38．F 39．D 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了骆驼被称为“沙漠之舟”，擅长在艰难环境中生存，引出骆驼是否会游泳的探讨，并阐述了骆驼的游泳能力、身体结构及适应性。 36．上文“Camels are known as the ‘ships of the desert’. They have come to be connected with surviving in difficult situations. They can get through long journeys through hot sand hills.(骆驼被称为“沙漠之舟”。它们与在艰难环境中生存联系在一起。它们能够穿越炎热的沙丘进行长途旅行。)”描述了骆驼在沙漠中的生存能力，以及下文“ In this blog post we will explore the interesting world of camels and dig into the question; how can camels swim?(在这篇博客文章中，我们将探索骆驼这个有趣的世界，并深入探讨这样一个问题：骆驼怎么会游泳呢？)”可知，后文探讨的问题是“骆驼是怎么会游泳的”。E选项“However, have you ever wondered if these creatures swim?(然而，你有没有想过这些生物是否会游泳？)”通过提出一个与前文不同的问题，即，骆驼是否会游泳，与前文构成转折，来引出下文关于骆驼游泳能力的探讨，符合题意。故选E。 37．上文“The water is wonderful for camels to swim, and camels certainly owns the ability to swim. However it is not their preferred way of transportation.(水对骆驼来说游泳很棒，骆驼当然也有游泳的能力。然而，这并不是它们首选的交通方式。)”说明了骆驼不喜欢游泳这种交通方式，G选项“After all, these desert creatures are best known for their ability to adapt to dry conditions.(毕竟，这些沙漠生物最出名的是它们适应干燥环境的能力。)”进一步解释了为什么骆驼不首选游泳作为交通方式，即它们更擅长适应干燥环境，符合题意。故选G。 38．下文“Their large, soft, and thick feet function effectively to keep them afloat in preventing them from sinking into soft sand and their woolly fur can trap air, providing buoyancy.(它们大而柔软、厚实的脚能有效地使它们漂浮，防止它们沉入松软的沙子中，它们毛茸茸的皮毛能捕捉空气，提供浮力。)”描述了骆驼的特殊身体结构如何帮助它们游泳，F选项“Camels have some special body structures that allow them to swim.(骆驼有一些特殊的身体结构使它们能够游泳。)”作为下文的总起句，概括了骆驼游泳的原因，即骆驼的一些特殊身体结构，符合题意。故选F。 39．上文“But it is important to clear up a common misunderstanding. Camels do not store water in humps.(但重要的是要澄清一个常见的误解。骆驼并不在驼峰里储存水。)”指出了关于骆驼驼峰的一个常见误解，D选项“Their humps actually store fat and seldom offer buoyancy.(它们的驼峰实际上储存的是脂肪，很少提供浮力。)”进一步解释了驼峰的真实功能，即储存脂肪而非水，且很少提供浮力，符合题意。故选D。 40．上文“Camels are undoubtedly more skilled in the water than one might initially think. They may not be Olympic swimmers. (毫无疑问，骆驼在水中的技能比人们最初想象的要高超得多。它们或许算不上是奥运游泳选手。)”描述了骆驼在水中的技能令人惊叹，但是它们算不上奥运游泳选手。B选项“They usually simply float much of the time.(它们大部分时间通常只是漂浮着。)”进一步指出骆驼在水中的行为，即它们大部分时间只是漂浮，解释了并不能成为奥运游泳选手的原因，符合题意。故选B。 41．C 42．A 43．B 44．C 45．D 46．B 47．D 48．A 49．C 50．B 51．D 52．A 53．C 54．A 55．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Anya Culling从将跑步作为保持心理健康的爱好，到逐渐成为英国最快的女性马拉松选手之一，并成为渴望自我提升者的榜样。 41．考查副词词义辨析。句意：但直到2019年，跑步还仅仅是Culling为了保持心理健康而培养的一个爱好。A. hardly几乎不；B. occasionally偶尔；C. merely仅仅；D. frequently频繁地。根据下文“a hobby Culling had picked up for her mental health”以及她后来成为专业级马拉松选手可知，此前跑步只是爱好，并非职业。故选C。 42．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在经历了一系列健康问题后，她一直情绪低落。A. downhearted情绪低落的；B. optimistic乐观的；C. determined坚定的；D. realistic现实的。根据下文“It was running that helped restore my personal ________ and reawaken the passion for living”可知，跑步帮助她重燃对生活的热情，说明此前状态消极。故选A。 43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这位现年27岁的运动员表示：“是跑步帮助我恢复了个人健康，重新唤醒了对生活的热情。”A. reputation声誉；B. fitness健康；C. relationship关系；D. weakness弱点。根据上文“Following a series of medical issues”以及下文“reawaken the passion for living”可知，跑步帮助她恢复了健康。故选B。 44．考查介词短语辨析。句意：除了小时候被迫参加越野跑、运动会跑400米之外，Culling没有真正的跑步经历。A.

To my surprise, the character’s feelings of being an outsider slowly started to make sense to me. I found myself reading his lines out loud in my quiet room. Each time, I imagined the scenes not as a performance, but as a true story I needed to tell. Ms. Jenkins stayed after school to practice with me, offering small corrections and constant encouragement. Her belief became a tiny, steady light in my growing confidence. On the night of the performance, standing in the dark behind the curtain, I took a deep breath. I could hear the murmur of the audience. My hands were cold, but my mind was clear. I remembered Ms. Jenkins’ words: “Just tell the story.” The curtain rose, and the bright lights hit my face. Though still scared, I spoke the first line. The words flowed out, not from memory, but from a place of understanding. I wasn’t just a student on a stage anymore; for those moments, I truly was the character, sharing his truth. When the final line ended, the silence was broken by warm applause. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了我是戏剧社里最安静的成员，只在幕后工作。老师看到了我的付出，让我担任主角，这让我十分害怕，不愿接受。我害怕上台表演，也怀疑自己的能力。但老师鼓励我直面恐惧、实现成长。剧本让我焦虑不已，听到同学们练习时，我更觉得自己格格不入。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天晚上，我厌倦了自己的焦虑，终于拿起剧本开始阅读。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：我克服焦虑开始读剧本，与角色产生共鸣，老师陪练鼓励，我逐渐建立自信。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出当晚，我站在幕布后深呼吸。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：演出当晚，我虽紧张仍牢记老师叮嘱，登台后真情演绎角色，最终收获观众热烈掌声。 2.续写线索：我开始阅读剧本——老师陪练鼓励——逐渐建立自信——登台真情演绎——收获观众掌声 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想象：imagine/picture ②提供： offer/providet/supply ③回忆起：remember/recall 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②害怕的：scared/afraid/terrified 【点睛】[高分句型1]Ms. Jenkins stayed after school to practice with me, offering small corrections and constant encouragement.(运用了现在分词offering作状语) [高分句型2]Though still scared, I spoke the first line.(运用了状语从句的省略) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you? Oh, hello. I read about your club in the paper today, and I thought i'd phone to find out a bit more. Yes, certainly. Well, we're sort of a social club for people from different countries.

I'm looking for ways to meet people. What kinds of events do you organize? Well, we have social get togethers and sports events, and we also have language evenings. Could you tell . me something about the language evenings? Yes, every day, except thursday, we have a language evening.

B Halloween is coming, and seeing everyone plan out their costumes got me thinking back to my childhood and the costumes I wore. As I grew older, I started having mixed feelings about Halloween. I still like Halloween, and always love a full pocket of candy, but it’s not the same excitement as when I was a kid. There’s just something about being a kid that made it so much better. And for me, that was something coordinated (搭配协调的) family costumes. It went like this: My parents would pick a theme and have each of us dress accordingly. Most of our Halloween costumes, whether family-themed or solo (单独的), were homemade. Unfortunately, I didn’t always appreciate that. In second grade, I broke tradition by wanting to get a store-bought butterfly costume. I really liked that costume; it was fun to wear. But looking back on it now, I loved our homemade costumes so much more because those costumes were memorable and made with love. Being dressed up all together and having that shared experience really strengthened our family connection and made Halloween something to look forward to. Recalling my experiences, I wondered if other families did the same. I decided to look around on some popular Halloween store websites to see if they had specific collections of family costumes. On Spirit Halloween’s website, there was a group and family costume section, so that was a good sign. Also, Party City had a very large collection of family Halloween costumes, which made me even more hopeful. To confirm, I called the local Party City and asked if the staff had observed families buying costumes together. To my delight, the manager said yes! She noticed that families buy them costumes every year. Whether it’s homemade or store-bought, it’s good to know family Halloween costumes aren’t dying. Although the days of coordinated family costumes for me have passed, the memories of those fun times will last forever. 24．What made the author’s childhood Halloween special? A．Candies. B．Events. C．Clothes. D．Atmosphere. 25．What does the author think of homemade Halloween costumes now? A．They are outdated. B．They are meaningful. C．They are costly. D．They are comfortable. 26．Why did the author visit some Halloween store websites? A．To learn how to make a Halloween costume B．To compare the prices of Halloween costumes C．To buy family Halloween costumes for himself D．To check the popularity of family Halloween costumes 27．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．DIY Halloween Costumes: A Creative Activity B．Family Halloween Costumes: A Timeless Tradition C．The Magic of Halloween: Costumes, Candy, and More D．Store-Bought or Homemade: A Hard Choice C The narwhal is a mysterious resident of the remote Arctic. The species, a relatively small whale is known for growing a spiral tusk （螺旋长牙）that resembles the historical description of a unicorn's horn. Experts have long speculated why narwhals have this strange long tooth. Some think that the tusk is a tool for survival, as they could possibly use it to break up ice or spear fish for meals. However, the vast majority of female narwhals don't have tusks, and females tend to live longer than males. Most scientists now think the tusk provides no advantage for survival, but rather acts as a sex characteristic and determines the social rank. But the tusk may also have another purpose. A 2014 study found the narwhal's tusk is full of sensitive nerve endings that allow the whale to detect changes in the environment, such as changes in temperature and salinity. The finding suggests that the tusk might also be a sensory organ. Narwhals are an important subsistence resource （生存资源）for high Arctic communities. They provide the humans with high-calorie fat, protein and nutrients, vital and hard to come by in the harsh northern winters. Narwhal tusks were carved into artworks and sold to support families with few job opportunities. Narwhal tusk is protected now. But similar to all other Arctic wildlife, narwhals are likely to struggle in the face of climate change. Warm temperatures in the Arctic have caused sea ice to disappear at an alarming rate. New shipping channels have become accessible, threatening narwhals and other marine mammals. Researches suggest that narwhals are the most vulnerable （易受伤害的）marine mammals to human activities in the Arctic because these isolated creatures are highly sensitive to ship activities. Their response to changing conditions near the pole could provide insight into larger changes in Earth's future. 28．What does the underlined word "speculated" in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Known. B．Guessed. C．Overlooked. D．Concluded. 29．What did the 2014 study find about the narwhal's tusk? A．It is an indicator of gender. B．It reveals narwhals' social rank. C．It can sense changes in the water. D．It can be used to dig fish for meals. 30．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The conservation of narwhals is a must. B．The situation of climate change is under control. C．Some human activities affect mammals slightly. D．Narwhals are under the threat of being hunted. 31．What might be the best title for the text? A．Research on Narwhals' Tusk B．Insight into Climate Changes C．Narwhals ： Feature and Behavior D．Narwhals ： Mysterious Sea Unicorns D Ants have the ability to sniff out cancer cells in humans, a new study has discovered, suggesting they could be used for cancer diagnosis in future. Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered that ant species Formica fusca (丝光褐林蚁) has a well-developed sense of smell. It was able to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells in humans, thanks to their sense of smell, limited trials revealed. But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said. To conduct their research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a laboratory setting. First, the specialists exposed the ants to the smell of a sample of cancerous human cells. This smell was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. In a second step, the researchers exposed the ants to two different smells. One was a new smell and the second was the smell of the cancer cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancer cells. As such, the scientists found that ants distinguished between cancer and healthy cells. After training, Formica fusca ants are able to detect organic compounds (混合物) released by cancer cells. “This first study shows that ants have high potential, are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient,” points out CNRS. This isn’t the first time that scientists have used the animal sense of smell to locate cancer cells. “Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis and used for the specific detection of cancer,” the researchers explained. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. “On the other hand, insects can be easily raised in controlled conditions, and hundreds of individuals can be trained with very few trials,” the researchers pointed out. “Our approach could potentially be applied to a range of other complex smell detection tasks including the detection of explosives, spoiled food, or other diseases.” 32．What can we learn about Formica fusca? A．It has a sharp sense of smell. B．It can diagnose ants’ illnesses. C．It faces a challenge of surviving. D．It has been used in clinical settings. 33．What did scientists take into consideration when conducting their research? A．The number of ant species. B．The different smells of cells. C．The association between cells. D．The time exposed to cancerous samples. 34．In what aspect do ants have an advantage over dogs to detect cancer cells? A．Diagnosis accuracy. B．Low cost. C．Scientific interests. D．Smelling ability. 35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the article? A．To appeal to people to protect ants. B．To argue if ants are sensitive to cancer cells. C．To introduce the ants’ ability of curing cancers. D．To inform the ants’ special skill to distinguish cells. 七选五 Camels are known as the “ships of the desert” They have come to be connected with surviving in difficult situations. They can get through long journeys through hot sand hills. 36 In this blog post we will explore the interesting world of camels and dig into the question; how can camels swim? The water is wonderful for camels to swim, and camels certainly own the ability to swim. However it is not their preferred way of transportation. 37 They only adapt to watery environments when it is necessary. 38 Their large, soft, and thick feet function effectively to keep them afloat (漂浮) in preventing them from sinking into soft sand and their woolly fur can trap air, providing buoyancy (浮力). When camels enter the water, they use a leg-kicking movement, which allows them to move the water well. But it is important to clear up a common misunderstanding. Camels do not store water in humps (驼峰). 39 Thus, their swimming has nothing to do with humps. While camels might know swimming, they show skills, when faced with water blocks during their desert journeys. Their adaptability and unique features make them able to travel through different kinds of landscape. Whether it is the hot sands of the desert or the occasional water crossings, they always find a way to survive. Camels are undoubtedly more skilled in the water than one might initially think. They may not be Olympic swimmers. 40 A．Do you know why camels can stand heat. B．They usually simply float much of the time. C．The hump causes trouble for the camel when it swims. D．Their humps actually store fat and seldom offer buoyancy. E．However, have you ever wondered if these creatures swim? F．Camels have some special body structures that allow them to swim. G．After all, these desert creatures are best known for their ability to adapt to dry conditions. 三、完形填空（每小题1分，共15分） These days, Anya Culling is considered one of the UK’s fastest female marathon runners.

My world was backstage, between the tall, heavy curtains and the busy equipment tables. Among the lights and props, I knew exactly where everything was and what to do. While others shone during rehearsals (排练), I found my place quietly supporting them from behind the scenes, feeling happy to be a helpful part of the team. My drama teacher, Ms. Jenkins, noticed this. She had a way of seeing the efforts that others didn’t. One afternoon, after everyone else had left, she handed me a script (脚本) for the year-end show. “The lead role,” she said, her voice calm and certain. “I believe you have a story inside you, waiting to be told.” Her words were kind but felt like a heavy responsibility, making me stand up straighter without thinking. My heart sank. The lead role meant speaking alone in front of everyone and standing in the bright spotlight, where I couldn’t hide. “But, Ms. Jenkins,” I stammered, holding the script tightly in both hands, “I’m not an actor. I work backstage. I might ruin the play.” The thought of forgetting my lines on stage filled me with a cold fear that made my hands feel stiff. She smiled gently, and her eyes were warm and encouraging. “Sometimes, the biggest growth happens when we face our fears, not avoid them. Try to read it,” she said, looking right at me, “not just as lines, but as someone’s true feelings.” For days, the script lay unopened on my desk, a constant reminder of my anxiety, and I avoided looking at it.
