He was a sickly child in his early years, but he grew into a quick learner with great curiosity. He was fond of painting and especially skilled at making delicate mechanical (机械的) toys and after his father died in 1648, the 13-year-old Hooke was sent to London to study painting under the famous artist Peter Lely, which cultivated his sharp observation and practical thinking. In 1653, Hooke entered Oxford’s Christ Church College. There, he served as an assistant to the well-known scientist Robert Boyle. He studied diverse subjects from astronomy to chemistry and made friends with many talented people, including future famous architect Christopher Wren. With Boyle’s support, Hooke became the person in charge of experiments for the Royal Society of London in 1662. In 1665, he accepted a position as a geometry professor at Gresham College, starting his steady academic career. Hooke covered a wide variety of scientific topics, including comets, light motion, gravity and human memory. He firmly stuck to the scientific method of experimentation and observation and made full use of up-to-date instruments in his research. In 1665, he published Micrographia, documenting his groundbreaking microscopic experiments. In 1678, he introduced Hooke’s Law in his work, explaining that the force needed to stretch or press a spring is proportional to its deformation distance. However, Hooke’s career was negatively affected by frequent arguments with outstanding scientists, especially Isaac Newton. Continuous academic conflicts brought him much pressure and damaged his reputation. Hooke died in London at the age of 67 on March 3, 1703, leaving valuable scientific achievements for future generations. 4. What do we know about Hooke’s early life? A. He was in good health when he was young. B. He showed no interest in new things as a child. C. He developed good observation through studying painting. D. He was good at designing electronic toys after his father’s death. 5. What did Hooke do in Oxford’s Christ Church College? A. He taught astronomy courses. B. He studied under Christopher Wren. C. He published his book Micrographia. D. He assisted Robert Boyle in research. 6. Which words can best describe Robert Hooke? A. Creative and productive. B. Generous and patient. C. Independent and gentle. D. Easy-going and modest. 7. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A biography of a scientist. C. A chemistry textbook. D. An official announcement. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是英国科学家罗伯特·胡克的生平经历、学术成就及其与牛顿的学术冲突。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He was fond of painting and especially skilled at making delicate mechanical (机械的) toys and after his father died in 1648, the 13-year-old Hooke was sent to London to study painting under the famous artist Peter Lely, which cultivated his sharp observation and practical thinking. (他喜欢绘画，尤其擅长制作精巧的机械玩具，1648年父亲去世后，13岁的胡克被送往伦敦，在著名画家彼得·莱利门下学习绘画，这培养了他敏锐的观察力和实践思维。)”可知，胡克通过学习绘画培养了良好的观察力。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“There, he served as an assistant to the well-known scientist Robert Boyle. (在那里，他担任著名科学家罗伯特·波义耳的助手。)”可知，胡克在牛津基督教堂学院期间协助罗伯特·波义耳进行研究。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He firmly stuck to the scientific method of experimentation and observation and made full use of up-to-date instruments in his research. In 1665, he published Micrographia, documenting his groundbreaking microscopic experiments. In 1678, he introduced Hooke’s Law in his work, explaining that the force needed to stretch or press a spring is proportional to its deformation distance. (他坚定地坚持实验和观察的科学方法，并在研究中充分利用最新的仪器。1665年，他出版了《显微图谱》，记录了他开创性的显微实验。1678年，他在著作中提出了胡克定律，解释了拉伸或压缩弹簧所需的力与其变形距离成正比。)”可知，胡克富有创造力且成果丰硕。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Robert Hooke was born in Freshwater, on England’s Isle of Wight, on July 18, 1635. (罗伯特·胡克于1635年7月18日出生在英格兰怀特岛的淡水镇。)”以及最后一段中“Hooke died in London at the age of 67 on March 3, 1703, leaving valuable scientific achievements for future generations. (胡克于1703年3月3日在伦敦去世，享年67岁，为后代留下了宝贵的科学成就。)”可知，全文按照时间顺序，从出生、求学、工作经历、主要科学成就到去世，全面系统地记录了罗伯特·胡克的一生，这种完整记录个人生平经历的方式最符合人物传记的特征。 C Quaking aspens (颤杨) are the most common tree across North America. Interestingly, an aspen looks like separate individual trees, but it is actually a group of genetically identical stems, growing from a shared massive root system. White trunks shoot up from a large root system. A single aspen often covers less than an acre, but sometimes more. Sometimes a tree is its own forest. In south-central Utah, there stands a unique aspen wood with 47,000 trunks all connected to a root. Known as Pando, this large living thing stretches across 106 acres. No single living thing on Earth is heavier than it. Each trunk in Pando lives 85 to 130 years, and as each dies, new green shoots appear. But now those shoots are being eaten by deer and cattle. Paul Rogers, a professor at Utah State University, has studied Pando for years. In 2018, he made an analysis of this forest. He found fewer trunks were regrowing than were dying. A new analysis in 2021 showed a greater increase of deaths. If we don’t find better ways in coming decades to protect Pando from animals, this unusual forest example will not exist. Rogers has heard all the suggestions: using firecrackers, or shooting at deer with blanks, or forcing them off with vehicles. But he doesn’t consider those ideas useful. There could be money raised to do large-scale fencing, but someone would also have to maintain it. “Do we really want it fenced off like in a zoo? That doesn’t solve the root of the problem,” he says. But in another area on a nearby mountain, Stanley Kitchen, a scientist, sees reason for optimism. In 2015, a 10-year protection plan to save the aspen on that mountain appeared. There the scientist worked with hunters, environmentalists, farmers, and officials. The plan included more hunting of deer if their feeding on shoots continues to be a problem. “It has not solved all the problems but it seems to be making a difference. Aspens are struggling to grow again,” he said. 8. What does the underlined word “identical” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. tall B. same C. green D. independent 9. What does Rogers think of large-scale fencing? A. It is effective and long-lasting. B. It fails to solve the real problem. C. It can perfectly protect young shoots. D. It is money-saving and easy to do. 10. What can we infer about the 10-year plan? A. It works well in all aspen forest areas. B. It forbids all hunting activities in local areas. C. It takes joint efforts of different groups of people. D. It has completely solved Pando’s survival problems. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Ways to balance feeding and tree survival. B. The amazing living habits of quaking aspens. C. Views on protecting endangered local forests. D. The danger Pando facing and efforts to save it. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是北美颤杨的独特生长特性以及世界上最大的颤杨林潘多面临的生存威胁与保护探索。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Interestingly,  an aspen looks like separate individual trees, but it is actually a group of genetically identical stems, growing from a shared massive root system. (有趣的是，颤杨看起来像独立的个体树，但实际上是一组基因上identical茎干，从一个共享的巨大根系中生长出来。)”可知，这些茎干共享同一个根系，因此基因是相同的。identical意为“相同的”。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There could be money raised to do large-scale fencing, but someone would also have to maintain it. ‘Do we really want it fenced off like in a zoo? That doesn’t solve the root of the problem,’ he says. (可以筹集资金进行大规模围栏，但还需要有人维护。‘我们真的想把它像动物园一样围起来吗？这并不能解决问题的根源，’他说。)”可知，Rogers认为大规模围栏无法解决根本问题。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There the scientist worked with hunters, environmentalists, farmers, and officials. The plan included more hunting of deer if their feeding on shoots continues to be a problem. (在那里，科学家与猎人、环保主义者、农民和官员合作。如果鹿继续啃食幼苗成为问题，该计划包括增加对鹿的捕猎。)”可知，这个十年计划需要不同群体的共同努力。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“If we don’t find better ways in coming decades to protect Pando from animals, this unusual forest example will not exist. (如果我们在未来几十年内找不到更好的方法来保护潘多免受动物侵害，这个不寻常的森林样本将不复存在。)”以及全文对潘多面临威胁及保护努力的描述可知，本文主要讲的是潘多面临的危险以及拯救它的努力。 D For the past couple of years, concerns about cheating at school have dominated (主导) the conversation around kids and artificial intelligence. But AI is playing a much larger role in many of their lives. AI, teens say, has become a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, everyday decision-making and problem-solving. More than 70% of teens have used AI companions and half use them regularly, according to a new study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies and advocates for using screens and digital media sensibly. The study defines AI companions as platforms designed to serve as “digital friends,” like Character AI or Replika. They can be customized with specific personalities and can offer emotional support, companionship and conversations. But popular sites like ChatGPT and Claude, which mainly answer questions, are being used in the same way. In the same survey, 31% of teens said their conversations with AI companions were “as satisfying or more satisfying” than talking with real friends. Even though half of teens said they distrusted AI’s advice, 33% had discussed serious or important issues with AI instead of real people. Those findings are concerning, says Michael Robb, the study’s lead author, and we should send a warning to parents, teachers and policymakers. Adolescence is a critical time for developing identity, social skills and independence, Robb said, and AI companions should add to — not replace — real-world interactions. “If teens are developing social skills on AI platforms where they are constantly being praised, not being challenged, not learning to read social signals or understand somebody else’s perspective, they are not going to be well prepared in the real world,” he said. The nonprofit analyzed several popular AI companions in a “risk assessment,” finding ineffective age limits and that the platforms can give dangerous advice and offer harmful content. Based on these findings, the group recommends that teenagers not use AI companions. 12. What can we learn about AI companions? A. They have weakened real-life friendships. B. Most teens trust them more than real friends. C. They meet teens’ emotional and practical needs. D. They are mainly designed to stop school cheating. 13. How does the author develop paragraphs 3 and 4? A. By giving personal examples. B. By describing historical events. C. By explaining scientific concepts. D. By presenting data and quotations. 14. What is Michael Robb’s attitude towards teens using AI companions? A. Worried. B. Supportive. C. Confused. D. Uncaring. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Dangers of AI Use in Schools B. Ways to Build Teens’ Social Skills C. A New Solution to Teenage Loneliness D. Teens’ Growing Use of AI Companions 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是一项关于青少年使用AI伴侣平台的研究发现及其引发的社会担忧。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“AI, teens say, has become a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, everyday decision-making and problem-solving. (青少年表示，AI已成为个人建议、情感支持、日常决策和解决问题的首选来源。)”以及第二段“They can be customized with specific personalities and can offer emotional support, companionship and conversations. (它们可以定制特定个性，并提供情感支持、陪伴和对话。)”可知，AI伴侣满足了青少年的情感和实际需求。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In the same survey, 31% of teens said their conversations with AI companions were “as satisfying or more satisfying” than talking with real friends. (在同一项调查中，31%的青少年表示他们与AI伴侣的对话“与真实朋友交谈一样令人满意或更令人满意”。)”以及第四段“Those findings are concerning, says Michael Robb, the study’s lead author, and we should send a warning to parents, teachers and policymakers. “If teens are developing social skills on AI platforms where they are constantly being praised, not being challenged, not learning to read social signals or understand somebody else’s perspective, they are not going to be well prepared in the real world,” he said. (这些发现令人担忧，该研究的主要作者Michael Robb说，我们应该向家长、教师和政策制定者发出警告。“如果青少年在AI平台上发展社交技能，在那里他们不断受到赞扬，不被挑战，不学习解读社交信号或理解他人的观点，他们将无法在现实世界中做好准备，”他说。)”可知，第三、四段通过呈现调查数据和引用专家观点来展开论述。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Those findings are concerning, says Michael Robb, the study’s lead author, and we should send a warning to parents, teachers and policymakers. (这些发现令人担忧，该研究的主要作者Michael Robb说，我们应该向家长、教师和政策制定者发出警告。)”可知，Michael Robb对青少年使用AI伴侣持担忧态度。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“More than 70% of teens have used AI companions and half use them regularly, according to a new study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies and advocates for using screens and digital media sensibly. (根据Common Sense Media的一项新研究，超过70%的青少年使用过AI伴侣，其中一半人定期使用，Common Sense Media是一个研究并倡导合理使用屏幕和数字媒体的组织。)”以及全文对青少年使用AI伴侣现状及担忧的讨论可知，本文主要关注的是青少年对AI伴侣日益增长的使用。 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。 In my latest book, The Success Factor, I outline the four mindsets found in extreme high achievements. Many people wonder what sets top performers apart from ordinary ones. ____16____ Stay driven from inside I have found that scientists are not driven by such motivators: promotions, diplomas or awards. If they were, those I interviewed would have quit doing science after winning a Nobel Prize. Instead, many leading scientists are still doing research long after they qualify for retirement. ____17____ They simply love the process of discovery itself. ____18____ There are always challenges on the way to success. Most people easily give up when facing difficulties. However, the high achievers face them bravely and keep moving forward. Eventually, they fear not trying more than they fear failing.

No one knew about his new task except me. He called the new invention, a small device on his ear, “bone-phone.” If he succeeded, it could send signals directly to his brain, allowing him to understand the messages plants sent out. The idea reminded me of the angry shouting trees in The Wizard of Oz (《绿野仙踪》). Dad always devoted himself to his research late into the night, long after my siblings and I had fallen asleep. For him, science was more than just work — it was something he never gave up on easily. Many people might think growing up with a scientist father was boring, but for me, it was mostly interesting and full of inspiration. Whenever I turned to him for homework help, he never gave me answers directly. Instead, he guided me to think on my own. When I met difficult problems, he always told me to keep trying rather than give up at once. His attitude taught me to face challenges bravely. But recently, I had been feeling discouraged. I’d been practicing for a school competition for weeks, yet I kept making mistakes. Tired and frustrated, I was on the edge of giving up completely. Lost in my low spirits, I fell asleep before I knew it. “Ouch!” There was a sudden cry coming from Dad’s lab. Worried that something had gone wrong, I immediately jumped to my feet and rushed to the lab, pushing the door open. To my surprise, the first rays of dawn were already shining through the window, which meant Dad had been working nonstop throughout the whole night. 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。 “I did it!” he exclaimed excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I made up my mind to keep practicing for the competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “I did it!” he exclaimed excitedly. His eyes were bright with joy and his face was full of pride, as if all the tiredness of the whole night had gone in a second. He held up the bone-phone and showed me how it worked, telling me that he had almost given up many times when the experiment went wrong, but that he chose to try again and again and finally made it. Hearing his words, I fell into deep thought, feeling ashamed of my own intention to quit the competition easily. I made up my mind to keep practicing for the competition. His words calmed my frustration and lit up hope in my heart. I nodded firmly and promised myself that I would never give up easily. I faced my mistakes bravely and kept working hard. In the end, my persistence paid off. I made great progress and achieved surprising results. From that day on, whenever I suffered from setbacks, I would remember Dad’s experiment. I finally understood that success never comes easily. What matters is not avoiding failure, but having the courage to keep going. 【解析】 【导语】本文以父亲的骨传导耳机实验为线索展开，讲述了作者因比赛练习屡屡出错而想要放弃，目睹父亲通宵实验终获成功后深受触动，重拾信心坚持练习，最终领悟成功来之不易、贵在坚持的道理的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写父亲兴奋地宣告成功，眼中闪烁喜悦、脸上洋溢自豪，仿佛整夜疲惫瞬间消散，他举起骨传导耳机向作者展示工作原理，坦言实验多次出错时几乎放弃，但选择一次次尝试最终成功，作者听后陷入沉思，为自己轻易想放弃比赛而感到羞愧。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写父亲的话平息了作者的沮丧、点亮心中的希望，作者坚定点头承诺不再轻易放弃，勇敢面对错误、坚持努力，最终坚持得到回报，取得惊人进步和成绩，从此每逢挫折便想起父亲的实验，领悟成功绝非易事，重要的是拥有继续前行的勇气而非回避失败。 2.续写线索：父亲宣告实验成功——展示成果分享经历——作者深感羞愧——下定决心坚持练习——勇敢面对错误取得进步——领悟坚持的真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：give up/abandon ②平息/使平静：calm/soothe/ease 情绪类 ①羞愧地：ashamed/guilty ②坚定地：firmly/determinedly/resolutely 【点睛】【高分句型1】From that day on, whenever I suffered from setbacks, I would remember Dad’s experiment.

B Robert Hooke was born in Freshwater, on England’s Isle of Wight, on July 18, 1635. He was a sickly child in his early years, but he grew into a quick learner with great curiosity. He was fond of painting and especially skilled at making delicate mechanical (机械的) toys and after his father died in 1648, the 13-year-old Hooke was sent to London to study painting under the famous artist Peter Lely, which cultivated his sharp observation and practical thinking. In 1653, Hooke entered Oxford’s Christ Church College. There, he served as an assistant to the well-known scientist Robert Boyle. He studied diverse subjects from astronomy to chemistry and made friends with many talented people, including future famous architect Christopher Wren. With Boyle’s support, Hooke became the person in charge of experiments for the Royal Society of London in 1662. In 1665, he accepted a position as a geometry professor at Gresham College, starting his steady academic career. Hooke covered a wide variety of scientific topics, including comets, light motion, gravity and human memory. He firmly stuck to the scientific method of experimentation and observation and made full use of up-to-date instruments in his research. In 1665, he published Micrographia, documenting his groundbreaking microscopic experiments. In 1678, he introduced Hooke’s Law in his work, explaining that the force needed to stretch or press a spring is proportional to its deformation distance. However, Hooke’s career was negatively affected by frequent arguments with outstanding scientists, especially Isaac Newton. Continuous academic conflicts brought him much pressure and damaged his reputation. Hooke died in London at the age of 67 on March 3, 1703, leaving valuable scientific achievements for future generations. 4. What do we know about Hooke’s early life? A. He was in good health when he was young. B. He showed no interest in new things as a child. C. He developed good observation through studying painting. D. He was good at designing electronic toys after his father’s death. 5. What did Hooke do in Oxford’s Christ Church College? A. He taught astronomy courses. B. He studied under Christopher Wren. C. He published his book Micrographia. D. He assisted Robert Boyle in research. 6. Which words can best describe Robert Hooke? A. Creative and productive. B. Generous and patient. C. Independent and gentle. D. Easy-going and modest. 7. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A biography of a scientist. C. A chemistry textbook. D. An official announcement. C Quaking aspens (颤杨) are the most common tree across North America. Interestingly, an aspen looks like separate individual trees, but it is actually a group of genetically identical stems, growing from a shared massive root system. White trunks shoot up from a large root system. A single aspen often covers less than an acre, but sometimes more. Sometimes a tree is its own forest. In south-central Utah, there stands a unique aspen wood with 47,000 trunks all connected to a root. Known as Pando, this large living thing stretches across 106 acres. No single living thing on Earth is heavier than it. Each trunk in Pando lives 85 to 130 years, and as each dies, new green shoots appear. But now those shoots are being eaten by deer and cattle. Paul Rogers, a professor at Utah State University, has studied Pando for years. In 2018, he made an analysis of this forest. He found fewer trunks were regrowing than were dying. A new analysis in 2021 showed a greater increase of deaths. If we don’t find better ways in coming decades to protect Pando from animals, this unusual forest example will not exist. Rogers has heard all the suggestions: using firecrackers, or shooting at deer with blanks, or forcing them off with vehicles. But he doesn’t consider those ideas useful. There could be money raised to do large-scale fencing, but someone would also have to maintain it. “Do we really want it fenced off like in a zoo? That doesn’t solve the root of the problem,” he says. But in another area on a nearby mountain, Stanley Kitchen, a scientist, sees reason for optimism. In 2015, a 10-year protection plan to save the aspen on that mountain appeared. There the scientist worked with hunters, environmentalists, farmers, and officials. The plan included more hunting of deer if their feeding on shoots continues to be a problem. “It has not solved all the problems but it seems to be making a difference. Aspens are struggling to grow again,” he said. 8. What does the underlined word “identical” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. tall B. same C. green D. independent 9. What does Rogers think of large-scale fencing? A. It is effective and long-lasting. B. It fails to solve the real problem. C. It can perfectly protect young shoots. D. It is money-saving and easy to do. 10. What can we infer about the 10-year plan? A. It works well in all aspen forest areas. B. It forbids all hunting activities in local areas. C. It takes joint efforts of different groups of people. D. It has completely solved Pando’s survival problems. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Ways to balance feeding and tree survival. B. The amazing living habits of quaking aspens. C. Views on protecting endangered local forests. D. The danger Pando facing and efforts to save it. D For the past couple of years, concerns about cheating at school have dominated (主导) the conversation around kids and artificial intelligence. But AI is playing a much larger role in many of their lives. AI, teens say, has become a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, everyday decision-making and problem-solving. More than 70% of teens have used AI companions and half use them regularly, according to a new study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies and advocates for using screens and digital media sensibly. The study defines AI companions as platforms designed to serve as “digital friends,” like Character AI or Replika. They can be customized with specific personalities and can offer emotional support, companionship and conversations. But popular sites like ChatGPT and Claude, which mainly answer questions, are being used in the same way. In the same survey, 31% of teens said their conversations with AI companions were “as satisfying or more satisfying” than talking with real friends. Even though half of teens said they distrusted AI’s advice, 33% had discussed serious or important issues with AI instead of real people. Those findings are concerning, says Michael Robb, the study’s lead author, and we should send a warning to parents, teachers and policymakers. Adolescence is a critical time for developing identity, social skills and independence, Robb said, and AI companions should add to — not replace — real-world interactions. “If teens are developing social skills on AI platforms where they are constantly being praised, not being challenged, not learning to read social signals or understand somebody else’s perspective, they are not going to be well prepared in the real world,” he said. The nonprofit analyzed several popular AI companions in a “risk assessment,” finding ineffective age limits and that the platforms can give dangerous advice and offer harmful content. Based on these findings, the group recommends that teenagers not use AI companions. 12. What can we learn about AI companions? A. They have weakened real-life friendships. B. Most teens trust them more than real friends. C. They meet teens’ emotional and practical needs. D. They are mainly designed to stop school cheating. 13. How does the author develop paragraphs 3 and 4? A. By giving personal examples. B. By describing historical events. C. By explaining scientific concepts. D. By presenting data and quotations. 14.

Many people wonder what sets top performers apart from ordinary ones. ____16____ Stay driven from inside I have found that scientists are not driven by such motivators: promotions, diplomas or awards. If they were, those I interviewed would have quit doing science after winning a Nobel Prize. Instead, many leading scientists are still doing research long after they qualify for retirement. ____17____ They simply love the process of discovery itself. ____18____ There are always challenges on the way to success. Most people easily give up when facing difficulties. However, the high achievers face them bravely and keep moving forward. Eventually, they fear not trying more than they fear failing. They work hard to “control what they can control”, and they don’t think over issues and challenges that are beyond their control. Keep making progress ____19____ What worked for them early on in their careers is what they continue with later. The scientists who have won a Nobel Prize are still designing experiments and writing papers to further their careers. They refuse to stand still even with great honors. They stick to their effective methods and keep moving toward higher goals. Keep learning informally Despite their advanced degrees and praise, the high achievers made a point of continuing their learning by reading books, articles and blogs, watching videos and talking to others. They never think they have learned enough and always stay hungry for new knowledge. ____20____ In this way, they keep their knowledge up-to-date and their creativity fresh. No one aims to be average in life. People want to succeed but often lack the understanding of how to achieve more. So learning from top scientists can guide us in our own life and work. A. Persist and never give up. B. Set up a strong foundation. C. This book provides clear and practical answers. D. High achievers do not rest on their achievements. E. Reading widely is the only way to gain rich knowledge. F. Their inner motivation keeps them devoted to their work. G. They keep updating their knowledge and skills all the time. 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。 My sister Molly and I just returned from a week-long vacation in Croatia.

ZZZt! Clink! Clink! Clink! I listened from outside the door of Dad’s lab, where he was occupied with a new experiment. No one knew about his new task except me. He called the new invention, a small device on his ear, “bone-phone.” If he succeeded, it could send signals directly to his brain, allowing him to understand the messages plants sent out. The idea reminded me of the angry shouting trees in The Wizard of Oz (《绿野仙踪》). Dad always devoted himself to his research late into the night, long after my siblings and I had fallen asleep. For him, science was more than just work — it was something he never gave up on easily. Many people might think growing up with a scientist father was boring, but for me, it was mostly interesting and full of inspiration. Whenever I turned to him for homework help, he never gave me answers directly. Instead, he guided me to think on my own. When I met difficult problems, he always told me to keep trying rather than give up at once. His attitude taught me to face challenges bravely. But recently, I had been feeling discouraged. I’d been practicing for a school competition for weeks, yet I kept making mistakes. Tired and frustrated, I was on the edge of giving up completely. Lost in my low spirits, I fell asleep before I knew it. “Ouch!” There was a sudden cry coming from Dad’s lab. Worried that something had gone wrong, I immediately jumped to my feet and rushed to the lab, pushing the door open. To my surprise, the first rays of dawn were already shining through the window, which meant Dad had been working nonstop throughout the whole night. 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。 “I did it!” he exclaimed excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I made up my mind to keep practicing for the competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
