Confucius, a famous teacher, was a politician and philosopher who lived in the Spring and Autumn Period in China. During his lifetime, he planted the seeds of the transformation by teaching thousands of people. Therefore, he is thought to be one of the world’s greatest teachers today.
Confucius grew up in a poor family. As he grew up, Confucius worked to help his mother earn money. When he wasn’t working, he would read. His favorite thing to do was learn. His mother saw this and did her best to help him learn. One day, rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs of counting their money and keeping track of their crops.
Confucius did these until he was 30 years old, but he always wanted to do more. He didn’t like the way rulers treated their subjects. He wanted to find a way to help people who were less fortunate than he was. Later, he founded the philosophy “Confucianism”. Confucianism states that by educating yourself, loving your family, and respecting tradition, you could become a better person. Confucius believed a person could achieve these things by practicing self-discipline. In the majority of his life, Confucius traveled and taught the people of China about self-discipline and the importance of education. He even opened China’s first school to teach both the poor and the wealthy as equals. Today, Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education, equality, and peace over money, and injustice.
4. What can we know about Confucius from the passage?
A. He once acted as a math teacher. B. He devoted himself to social change.
C. He was born into a politician family. D. He was once a farmer guiding people farming.
5. What does the underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Tests. B. Courses. C. People. D. Themes.
6. According to the author, why did Confucius open China’s first school?
A. To teach both the poor and the rich. B. To be celebrated all over the world.
C. To be accepted by the rulers of China. D. To become famous among China’s lower classes.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The hard childhood experiences of Confucius.

C. The difficulties Confucius met when travelling.
D. The jobs Confucius took in rich families.

Ants have the ability to smell cancerous 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 has a well-developed sense of smell. It was able to differentiate (区分) cancerous cells from healthy cells in humans, thanks to their sense of smell, limited trials revealed.
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 cancerous cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancerous cells.
As such, the scientists found that ants discriminate between cancerous and healthy cells and between two cancerous lines. After training, Formica fusca ants are able to detect volatile organic compounds given off by cancerous cells. This first study shows that ants have high potential, are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient, CNRS points out in a news release.
This isn’t the first time that scientists have used the animal sense of smell to locate cancerous cells. “Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. Ants therefore represent a fast, efficient, inexpensive, and highly discriminant detection tool for detection of cancer cell volatiles,” the team explained, “our approach could potentially be adapted to a range of other complex smell detection tasks including the detection of narcotics, explosives, spoiled food, or other diseases.”
But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said. They suggest that in future, ants could turn out to be better than dogs when it comes to locating cancerous cells in humans. Who knows? Let’s wait and see.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of ants’ potential use in cancer diagnosis?
A. By comparing ants to dogs. B. By presenting the results of a new study.
C. By describing the training process of ants. D. By discussing the history of cancer diagnosis.
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The process of the research. B. The reason of the research.
C. The limitation of the research. D. The conclusion of the research.
10. What can we infer about the use of ants in cancer diagnosis?
A. Ants have already been used in clinical settings.
B. Training ants to detect cancer takes more than one year.
C. Ants may become a cost-effective diagnostic tool.
D. Ants will replace dogs in cancer detection entirely.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of ants in cancer diagnosis?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
D
The variety of bacteria (细菌) in our guts (肠道) has been used as a measure of overall health for years now. But recent studies suggest that what makes the guts of centenarians (people who live to be 100 or older) different is not the variety of bacteria species living there, but the balanced spread of those species.
A 2023 study looked at the guts of over 1,500 people, including 297 centenarians. Dr Shuai Wang at China’s Guangxi Academy of Sciences says that while this study’s findings support the idea that centenarians have special gut bacteria linked to their long life, it showed that rather than variety, their good health was better reflected by balance.
In fact, says Wang, “in many diseases, the variety of gut bacteria can be greater in sick patients than healthy people. This increase often happens due to a loss of gut barrier (屏障) resistance, allowing rare bacteria or bacteria that usually live elsewhere to settle there.” In older adults, he says, “A weaker gut barrier can cause a sudden increase of rare gut bacteria, which may lead to more types of bacteria, but not necessarily bring any extra health benefits.” The key to improving a weak gut barrier is fibre. Eating a high-fibre diet with plenty of vegetables keeps those barriers strong, and so does avoiding alcohol.
Dr Mary Ni Lochlainn is another expert who thinks that bacterial variety isn’t everything. She ran an experiment providing older twins with prebiotic (益生元) fibre and found that “they all had a decrease in variety, because the prebiotic was causing certain bacteria to grow,” she says. “But they also all had improved cognition (认知), so it shows me the limitation of variety.”
While variety may not be the most important thing for gut health, it can still play a positive role in later life. A 2016 study into weakness and the gut by Lochlainn’s colleagues at King’s found a link between weakness and lower bacterial variety.
12. What is the key to centenarians’ good health according to Dr Shuai Wang?
A. A high-fibre diet with vegetables.
B. A wide variety of gut bacteria.
C. The strong function of gut barriers.
D. A balanced spread of gut bacteria.
13. Why do some sick patients have higher gut bacterial variety?
A. They take some vitamin pills.
B. They eat more fibre-rich food.
C. Their gut barrier becomes weaker.
D. Their illness leads to more bacteria.
14. What can be inferred from the experiment led by Dr Mary Ni Lochlainn?
A. Higher bacterial variety can improve cognition.
B. Lower bacterial variety may not harm cognition.
C. Prebiotic fibre can promote people’s physical health.
D. Prebiotic fibre increases the total number of bacteria.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Secret of Long Life: Regular Exercise.
B. Prebiotic Fibre: The Way to a Healthy Gut.
C. Weakening Gut Barrier: Survival of Rare Bacteria.
D. Balance Over Variety: A New View on Gut Health.

Since childhood, my grandfather has been the person who cared about me most. He used to take me to climb mountains, fly kites and tell me interesting old stories in his spare time. He once made a serious promise with me that he would take me to visit the famous ancient town located in the remote mountain area when I entered senior high school.
I had been looking forward to this trip all the time and kept this promise firmly in my heart. However, after stepping into high school, endless homework and various training courses occupied almost all my daily time. I became busier and busier, and gradually put the original agreement behind unconsciously. I even had fewer chances to sit down and chat with my grandfather patiently.
Every time he mentioned the trip gently, I always found various excuses to put it off again and again. I thought there would be plenty of time in the future, so I did not cherish the precious time staying with him. As my academic pressure became heavier, I paid less and less attention to his physical condition and inner feelings.
Until one cold evening, I received a phone call from my mother, telling me that my grandfather fell ill suddenly and had to stay in hospital for treatment. Hearing the bad news, my heart sank instantly, and endless regret began to sweep over my whole mind. I realized that I had broken the most precious promise I had ever made.
I rushed to the hospital as fast as I could, not knowing how to face the weak old man lying on the bed.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Standing beside the hospital bed, I held his old rough hands tightly with eyes full of tears.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After calming down, I packed my bag quietly and decided to head for the ancient town alone to keep our long-awaited promise.

Confucius, a famous teacher, was a politician and philosopher who lived in the Spring and Autumn Period in China. During his lifetime, he planted the seeds of the transformation by teaching thousands of people. Therefore, he is thought to be one of the world’s greatest teachers today.
Confucius grew up in a poor family. As he grew up, Confucius worked to help his mother earn money. When he wasn’t working, he would read. His favorite thing to do was learn. His mother saw this and did her best to help him learn. One day, rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs of counting their money and keeping track of their crops.
Confucius did these until he was 30 years old, but he always wanted to do more. He didn’t like the way rulers treated their subjects. He wanted to find a way to help people who were less fortunate than he was. Later, he founded the philosophy “Confucianism”. Confucianism states that by educating yourself, loving your family, and respecting tradition, you could become a better person. Confucius believed a person could achieve these things by practicing self-discipline. In the majority of his life, Confucius traveled and taught the people of China about self-discipline and the importance of education. He even opened China’s first school to teach both the poor and the wealthy as equals. Today, Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education, equality, and peace over money, and injustice.

Ants have the ability to smell cancerous 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 has a well-developed sense of smell. It was able to differentiate (区分) cancerous cells from healthy cells in humans, thanks to their sense of smell, limited trials revealed.
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 cancerous cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancerous cells.
As such, the scientists found that ants discriminate between cancerous and healthy cells and between two cancerous lines. After training, Formica fusca ants are able to detect volatile organic compounds given off by cancerous cells. This first study shows that ants have high potential, are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient, CNRS points out in a news release.
This isn’t the first time that scientists have used the animal sense of smell to locate cancerous cells. “Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. Ants therefore represent a fast, efficient, inexpensive, and highly discriminant detection tool for detection of cancer cell volatiles,” the team explained, “our approach could potentially be adapted to a range of other complex smell detection tasks including the detection of narcotics, explosives, spoiled food, or other diseases.”
But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said. They suggest that in future, ants could turn out to be better than dogs when it comes to locating cancerous cells in humans. Who knows? Let’s wait and see.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of ants’ potential use in cancer diagnosis?
A. By comparing ants to dogs. B. By presenting the results of a new study.
C. By describing the training process of ants. D. By discussing the history of cancer diagnosis.
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The process of the research. B. The reason of the research.
C. The limitation of the research. D. The conclusion of the research.
10. What can we infer about the use of ants in cancer diagnosis?
A. Ants have already been used in clinical settings.
B. Training ants to detect cancer takes more than one year.
C. Ants may become a cost-effective diagnostic tool.
D. Ants will replace dogs in cancer detection entirely.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of ants in cancer diagnosis?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C

The variety of bacteria (细菌) in our guts (肠道) has been used as a measure of overall health for years now. But recent studies suggest that what makes the guts of centenarians (people who live to be 100 or older) different is not the variety of bacteria species living there, but the balanced spread of those species.
A 2023 study looked at the guts of over 1,500 people, including 297 centenarians. Dr Shuai Wang at China’s Guangxi Academy of Sciences says that while this study’s findings support the idea that centenarians have special gut bacteria linked to their long life, it showed that rather than variety, their good health was better reflected by balance.
In fact, says Wang, “in many diseases, the variety of gut bacteria can be greater in sick patients than healthy people. This increase often happens due to a loss of gut barrier (屏障) resistance, allowing rare bacteria or bacteria that usually live elsewhere to settle there.” In older adults, he says, “A weaker gut barrier can cause a sudden increase of rare gut bacteria, which may lead to more types of bacteria, but not necessarily bring any extra health benefits.” The key to improving a weak gut barrier is fibre. Eating a high-fibre diet with plenty of vegetables keeps those barriers strong, and so does avoiding alcohol.
Dr Mary Ni Lochlainn is another expert who thinks that bacterial variety isn’t everything. She ran an experiment providing older twins with prebiotic (益生元) fibre and found that “they all had a decrease in variety, because the prebiotic was causing certain bacteria to grow,” she says. “But they also all had improved cognition (认知), so it shows me the limitation of variety.”
While variety may not be the most important thing for gut health, it can still play a positive role in later life. A 2016 study into weakness and the gut by Lochlainn’s colleagues at King’s found a link between weakness and lower bacterial variety.
12. What is the key to centenarians’ good health according to Dr Shuai Wang?
A. A high-fibre diet with vegetables.
B. A wide variety of gut bacteria.
C. The strong function of gut barriers.
D. A balanced spread of gut bacteria.
13. Why do some sick patients have higher gut bacterial variety?
A. They take some vitamin pills.
B. They eat more fibre-rich food.
C. Their gut barrier becomes weaker.
D. Their illness leads to more bacteria.
14. What can be inferred from the experiment led by Dr Mary Ni Lochlainn?
A. Higher bacterial variety can improve cognition.
B. Lower bacterial variety may not harm cognition.
C. Prebiotic fibre can promote people’s physical health.
D. Prebiotic fibre increases the total number of bacteria.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Secret of Long Life: Regular Exercise.
B. Prebiotic Fibre: The Way to a Healthy Gut.
C. Weakening Gut Barrier: Survival of Rare Bacteria.
D. Balance Over Variety: A New View on Gut Health.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讨论了肠道细菌种类与健康之间的关系,特别是关于长寿者肠道细菌的特点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But recent studies suggest that what makes the guts of centenarians (people who live to be 100 or older) different is not the variety of bacteria species living there, but the balanced spread of those species.(但近期研究表明,百岁老人(寿命达到 100 岁及以上的人)肠道的独特之处,不在于肠道内细菌物种的种类多少,而在于这些菌种分布的均衡性)”可知,百岁老人健康的关键是肠道细菌的平衡分布。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In fact, says Wang, “in many diseases, the variety of gut bacteria can be greater in sick patients than healthy people. This increase often happens due to a loss of gut barrier (屏障) resistance, allowing rare bacteria or bacteria that usually live elsewhere to settle there.” (王博士表示:“事实上,在许多疾病中,患者肠道细菌的种类多样性反而会高于健康人群。这种细菌种类增多的现象,通常是因为肠道屏障抵抗力下降,使得稀有细菌或原本栖息在身体其他部位的细菌得以在肠道内定植存活。”)”可知,有些病人的肠道细菌种类更多是因为他们的肠道屏障抵抗力丧失,肠道屏障变弱了。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“She ran an experiment providing older twins with prebiotic (益生元) fibre and found that “they all had a decrease in variety, because the prebiotic was causing certain bacteria to grow,” she says. “But they also all had improved cognition (认知), so it shows me the limitation of variety.”(她说,她做了一项实验,给老年双胞胎补充益生元膳食纤维,结果发现:他们肠道细菌的种类多样性全都下降了,因为益生元促使特定细菌大量繁殖。“但他们的认知能力反而都得到了改善,这也让我看到了(细菌)多样性这一指标的局限性。”)”可知,玛丽·尼·洛赫兰博士的实验表明,虽然益生元纤维导致肠道细菌种类减少,但受试者的认知能力却得到了提高,这说明较低的细菌种类多样性可能不会损害认知能力。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The variety of bacteria in our guts has been used as a measure of overall health for years now.(多年来,我们肠道中的细菌种类一直被用作衡量整体健康的标准)”,第二段“it showed that rather than variety, their good health was better reflected by balance.(这表明,与多样性相比,他们的健康状况更能通过平衡来反映)”和最后一段“While variety may not be the most important thing for gut health, it can still play a positive role in later life.(虽然多样性可能不是肠道健康最重要的因素,但它仍然可以在以后的生活中发挥积极作用)”可知,文章主要讨论了肠道细菌种类与健康之间的关系,特别是关于长寿者肠道细菌的特点,即肠道细菌的平衡分布比细菌种类的多样性更为重要。因此,短文的合适标题是D选项“平衡优于多样性:肠道健康的新观点”。

考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:故宫,中国最著名的地标性建筑之一,坐落在北京的中心,承载着600多年的历史。此处表示客观事实,句子时态用一般现在时,主语The Forbidden City是单数,因此空格处用第三人称单数,故填stands。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:游客们常常惊叹于那些宏伟的宫殿和精致的花园,它们经过精心设计,精准地体现了中国传统文化。空处作目的状语,需用动词不定式。故填to reflect。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:那些复杂精细的雕刻和金色的屋顶,在阳光下闪耀着璀璨的光芒,增添了这座宫殿的美丽。空格处用名词作宾语,beautiful的名词是beauty,是不可数名词。故填beauty。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:尽管中国有许多历史遗迹,但很少有能比故宫更令人印象深刻的了。由than可知,空格处用比较级,impressive的比较级是more impressive。故填more impressive。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这是一个古代艺术与皇权完美结合的地方,每年都吸引着数百万游客。空格处引导的是定语从句,先行词place,在定语从句中作地点状语,需用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:严格的规定已被实施,以防止粗心的游客对其造成破坏,确保它的魅力能完好地保留给子孙后代。prevent...from...是固定短语,意为“防止……”,因此空格处是介词from。故填from。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:故宫在冬季显得格外神奇,当薄薄的一层雪覆盖在屋顶上时,使得金色的砖瓦更加明亮耀眼。句中谓语是appears,空格处用非谓语动词,snow和cover之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词作后置定语。故填covering。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:近年来,现代技术已被用于保护和修复这一古老的杰作。由In recent years可知,句子时态用现在完成时,现代技术是被使用,因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态,即have/has been done,主语technologies是复数,因此空格处是have been used。故填have been used。
【44题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:近年来,现代技术已被用于保护和修复这一古老的杰作。century是可数名词,此处表示泛指,前面无不定冠词,因此空格处用复数centuries。故填centuries。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对于那些热爱历史和建筑的人来说,参观故宫是必不可少的。visit是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,visit发音以辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a修饰。故填a。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Since childhood, my grandfather has been the person who cared about me most. He used to take me to climb mountains, fly kites and tell me interesting old stories in his spare time. He once made a serious promise with me that he would take me to visit the famous ancient town located in the remote mountain area when I entered senior high school.
I had been looking forward to this trip all the time and kept this promise firmly in my heart. However, after stepping into high school, endless homework and various training courses occupied almost all my daily time. I became busier and busier, and gradually put the original agreement behind unconsciously. I even had fewer chances to sit down and chat with my grandfather patiently.
Every time he mentioned the trip gently, I always found various excuses to put it off again and again. I thought there would be plenty of time in the future, so I did not cherish the precious time staying with him. As my academic pressure became heavier, I paid less and less attention to his physical condition and inner feelings.
Until one cold evening, I received a phone call from my mother, telling me that my grandfather fell ill suddenly and had to stay in hospital for treatment. Hearing the bad news, my heart sank instantly, and endless regret began to sweep over my whole mind. I realized that I had broken the most precious promise I had ever made.
I rushed to the hospital as fast as I could, not knowing how to face the weak old man lying on the bed.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version:
Standing beside the hospital bed, I held his old rough hands tightly with eyes full of tears. He looked much weaker than before, yet a gentle smile still appeared on his face when he saw me. “Don’t worry,” he said softly, “we still have time.” His words struck my heart deeply. I could not help apologizing again and again for breaking my promise. He shook his head slowly, telling me that what mattered was not the trip itself but my growth and happiness. At that moment, I realized how much love and patience he had given me all these years.
After calming down, I packed my bag quietly and decided to head for the ancient town alone to keep our long-awaited promise. Walking along the narrow streets, I imagined him walking beside me, telling old stories as he used to. I took photos of the mountains, the river and the old houses, hoping to share everything with him. When I returned to the hospital, I showed him the pictures and described the journey in detail. Tears filled his eyes, but this time, they were mixed with joy. I finally understood that keeping a promise is not only about action, but also about love and responsibility.
