After returning from vacation, he noticed that mold in a petri dish had killed bacteria. This accidental discovery led to the development of antibiotics(抗生素), which have saved millions of lives since then. During World War II, penicillin was widely used to treat wounded soldiers and became known as a “wonder drug”. Fleming received the Nobel Prize in 1945 for his important work. Louis Pasteur(1822-1895) This French chemist proved that germs cause disease, changing our understanding of illness. He developed vaccines for rabies and anthrax, helping to prevent deadly infections. His pasteurization process, which kills harmful bacteria in milk and wine by heating them, is still used worldwide today. Pasteur’s germ theory laid the foundation for modern microbiology and changed how doctors treat patients. John Snow(1813-1858) English doctor Snow helped stop a deadly cholera outbreak in London in 1854. By carefully mapping cases on a street map, he proved that polluted water from a public pump spread the disease, not the popular belief of “bad air”. His work founded modern epidemiology(流行病学) — the study of how diseases spread — and led to major improvements in public health systems. Tu Youyou(1930-present) Inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin in the 1970s. After testing over 2,000 traditional recipes, she finally found a treatment for malaria(疟疾) in sweet wormwood. This drug has saved millions of lives in developing countries, especially in Africa. In 2015, she became the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, bringing traditional medicine into modern science. 1. What do Alexander Fleming and Tu Youyou have in common? A. Both discovered antibiotics by accident. B. Both worked mainly during World War II. C. Both won the Nobel Prize for their work. D. Both studied traditional Chinese medicine. 2. What can be inferred from the text? A. Tu Youyou’s research was inspired by Louis Pasteur’s work. B. John Snow’s method helped establish a new field of medical study. C. Louis Pasteur’s theory mainly influenced the treatment of malaria. D. Alexander Fleming’s discovery was based on years of planned experiments. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare traditional and modern medical approaches. B. To prove that accidents are important in medical research. C. To explain how Nobel Prize winners made their discoveries. D. To show how scientific contributions have improved global health. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍四位医学科学家的重大贡献，这些成果拯救无数生命、推动全球公共健康发展。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Alexander Fleming(1881-1955)中“Fleming received the Nobel Prize in 1945 for his important work.(弗莱明于 1945 年因其重要工作而获得诺贝尔奖。)”以及Tu Youyou(1930 present)中“In 2015, she became the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, bringing traditional medicine into modern science.(2015 年，她成为首位获得诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的中国科学家，将传统医学带入了现代科学领域。)”可知，亚历山大·弗莱明和屠呦呦都获得了诺贝尔奖。故选C项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据John Snow(1813-1858)中“His work founded modern epidemiology(流行病学) — the study of how diseases spread — and led to major improvements in public health systems.(他的工作开创了现代流行病学——即研究疾病传播方式的学科——并促成了公共卫生体系的重大改进。)”可推知，约翰·斯诺的方法帮助开辟了一个新的医学研究领域。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题“Four Medical Scientists Who Changed the World(四位改变世界的医学科学家)”并通读全文可知，文章介绍四位医学科学家的重大贡献，这些成果拯救无数生命、推动全球公共健康发展。提出可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是展示科学贡献如何改善全球健康状况。故选D项。 B For generations, the people of Havenbrook lived in peace, embraced by the beauty of the ocean and the quiet security of their coastal home. However, one terrible day, their peaceful life was turned upside down by a destructive natural disaster. The morning started like any other. The sun rose, casting its golden rays over the town. People woke up, prepared for their daily routine, and went about their business. Little did they know that a storm was growing far out on the ocean. As the day progressed, the sky began to darken, and the wind started to pick up. By afternoon, Havenbrook was in the control of a powerful hurricane. The hurricane’s strong winds tore through the town, cutting roofs into pieces and overturning trees. Huge waves from the ocean washed into the town, flooding streets and homes. Residents, caught unprepared, hurried to find shelter. Many were trapped in their homes, waiting in terror as the water rose higher and higher. It seemed as if the world were at an end. The town’s emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue those in danger. They used boats to travel through the flooded streets and transported people to safety. However, the storm was so powerful that even their efforts were limited. Many homes were completely destroyed, and lives were lost. The once-lively town was now a scene of ruin. After the hurricane, Havenbrook’s residents began the arduous task of rebuilding their lives. They worked together, sharing their resources and skills, to rebuild their homes and community. Support from outside the town poured in, with volunteers and donations helping to speed up the recovery process. Slowly but surely, Havenbrook began to rise from the ruins. 4. What can be learned about the residents from the first two paragraphs? A. They sensed the upcoming storm. B. They often suffered natural disasters. C. They were not prepared for daily life. D. They enjoyed a peaceful life before the disaster. 5. What happened when the hurricane hit the town? A. The residents ignored rescue work. B. The hurricane arrived with no warning. C. The residents left their homes instantly. D. The hurricane caused severe damage. 6. What action did the emergency services take during the disaster? A. They transported some people to safe places. B. They rescued everybody successfully by boat. C. They delayed their action until the storm ended. D. They refused to reach the affected areas due to the storm. 7. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “arduous”? A. Challenging. B. Effortless. C. Deadly. D. Limited. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述海滨小镇黑文布鲁克遭遇飓风重创，居民在多方助力下携手合作、齐心协力重建家园，逐步恢复小镇生机的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For generations, the people of Havenbrook lived in peace, embraced by the beauty of the ocean and the quiet security of their coastal home.(长久以来，黑文布鲁克的居民安居乐业，享受着海滨美景与安稳宁静的沿海生活。)”可知，在灾害来临之前，当地居民一直过着安稳平和的生活。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The hurricane’s strong winds tore through the town, cutting roofs into pieces and overturning trees. Huge waves from the ocean washed into the town, flooding streets and homes.(飓风的狂风横扫小镇，撕碎屋顶、刮倒树木。海中巨浪冲进小镇，淹没街道和房屋。)”可知，飓风给小镇带来了极强的破坏力，造成了严重的灾害损失。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They used boats to travel through the flooded streets and transported people to safety.(应急人员乘船穿行在被淹没的街道中，将受灾民众转移至安全区域。)”可知，灾害发生时，应急服务人员尽力开展救援，将部分民众送往安全地带。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“After the hurricane, Havenbrook’s residents began the arduous task of rebuilding their lives.(飓风过后，黑文布鲁克的居民开启了重建生活的arduous工作。)”可知，小镇遭遇毁灭性破坏，灾后重建工作难度极大、耗费心力，因此画线单词意为“艰难的、具有挑战性的”，与 Challenging 意义相近。 C Poetry and nature writings can be powerful ways for people to connect with the natural world. A new poetry collection coming out this month, titled Dawn Songs: A Birdwatcher’s Field Guide to the Poetics of Migration, features reflections on our relationships with birds. The book happened to come out on the 30th anniversary (周年) of International Migratory Bird Day, which was co-founded in 1993 by Reaser. “Dawn Songs is more than a book,” said Reaser. “It is a calling together of birds and bird watchers across different habitats and indefinite identities. It is a celebration of what unites us at the edges of nature and human nature. It is, in part, Emily Dickinson’s ‘Hope is the thing with feathers.’” The poetry collection contains works from 60 writers. Some are well-established in their field, while others “have had fewer opportunities to voice their stories,” Reaser said. “One of our intentions was to make such voices heard, to invite the lesser-known authors onto a stage where they could be better heard.” The book is divided into four sections: “To Know,” “To Wonder,” “To Lament,” and “To Celebrate.” Each explores the connection between nature and human nature from a different point of view. In “To Know,” poets write about their personal relationships with birds, expressing joy at watching swallows fly or herons hunt. “To Wonder” contains works expressing questions that birds inspire. “To Lament” allows space to mourn species reduction and the deaths of individual birds. The poetry collection ends on an exciting note with “To Celebrate,” which contains joyous odes (颂歌) to the gifts birds give us. Profits from the book will support ABC’s Fellowship Program, which supports the next generation of bird protectors through scientific research, community activities, and storytelling. Applications are actively sought from individuals from different backgrounds, including those historically without a voice in environmental protections. “We are honored that the editors have chosen to support our program,” said Naamal De Silva from ABC. “Their choice will bring more attention to the program and to current fellows.” 8. What’s the main idea of Reaser’s words in paragraph 2? A. The book emphasizes harm done to birds. B. The book honours nature-human connection. C. The book mainly teaches how to watch birds. D. The book collects different poems about hope. 9. What is one of the reasons for publishing Dawn Songs? A. To replace traditional bird-watching guides. B. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of a festival. C. To call on bird-watchers to write more poetry. D. To help unnoticed writers gain more attention. 10. In which section can we feel regret for species loss? A. “To Know”. B. “To Wonder”. C. “To Lament”. D. “To Celebrate” 11. How will the profits from Dawn Songs be used? A. To publish more books about birds’ life. B. To support a program for bird protectors. C. To build new research centers for bird study. D. To plan bird-watching events for residents. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕一部以鸟类为主题的诗集《Dawn Songs》的编撰意图、篇章结构及社会价值展开，引导读者思考文学在生态保护中的独特作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It is a celebration of what unites us at the edges of nature and human nature.(这本书歌颂人与自然交融之处把我们凝聚在一起的纽带。)”可知，Reaser的话的主要思想是赞颂自然与人类本性的联系。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One of our intentions was to make such voices heard, to invite the lesser-known authors onto a stage where they could be better heard.(我们的初衷之一，就是让这些声音被世人听见，把名气不大的作家请到台前，让他们获得更多关注。)”可知，发表这部诗集的原因之一是让不被关注的作家获得更多关注。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““To Lament” allows space to mourn species reduction and the deaths of individual birds.(《To Lament》为悼念物种减少和个体鸟类的死亡留出了空间。)”可知，在To Lament这一部分，我们可以感受到对物种丧失的遗憾之情。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Profits from the book will support ABC’s Fellowship Program, which supports the next generation of bird protectors.(本书的收益将用于支持美国鸟类保护协会（ABC）的奖学金项目，该项目旨在支持下一代鸟类保护者。)”可知，该书的收益将用于支持鸟类保护者项目。 D A quiet AI revolution is happening in China’s countryside. In provinces like Jilin, Yunnan and Hubei, farmers are turning to AI to save their crops from flooding and disease. China is offering the world a new route for AI development. Free AI services have gained widespread popularity across China. DeepSeek’s integration (融合) into WeChat brought lots of users to Tencent’s Yuanbao, whose DAU (Daily Active Users) jumped 20 times in two months. AI has quickly integrated into people’s daily life and serves a huge number of farmers in the countryside. By making AI tools free and accessible through platforms like WeChat, China has driven wide grassroots application. Chinese companies put user scale first — and that scale is surprising: nearly 300 million farmers, representing about 20% of the national population, are potential AI users. This large group of rural users can be clearly seen from real farming cases. Take one village in Hubei as an example: rice fields there were once in danger due to weeks of heavy rain. As a result, farmers turned to Yuanbao. The chatbot recommended building embankments (堤岸) and changing to high-ridge planting (高垄种植) — the advice arrived instantly, adapted to specific problems and images uploaded by farmers with little formal education. For Chinese farmers, the benefits of AI services are real and immediate. AI is no longer a futuristic idea but a daily tool in their daily life. However, with the rapid spread of AI in rural areas, many related challenges have appeared. AI researchers found that most farmers didn’t know how to put useful questions to AI chatbots unless led by local officials. Educational gaps remain a problem: even when farmers receive answers, they might not understand the technical terms involved. Without a complete cycle of understanding and putting ideas into practice, the benefits of AI can’t be fully realized. Researchers also stress that making AI useful for the farmers as well as the elderly will require more than just stylish interfaces and bigger models. It urgently demands simplified responses, voice control tools and solutions adapted to real-life conditions. 12. What resulted from DeepSeek’s integration into WeChat? A. Free AI services in China became available. B. Tencent’s Yuanbao saw a rapid increase in users. C. Farmers in Hubei doubled their rice production. D. WeChat users’ potential improved significantly. 13. What writing skill does the author mainly use in Paragraph 4? A. Making a comparison B. Giving an example C. Listing numbers D. Explaining cause and effect 14. What will the researchers most probably do next? A. Develop larger AI models. B. Spread AI access to more cities. C. Provide simple and practical instructions. D. Teach farmers to understand technical terms. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI companies profit greatly from rural users. B. AI has solved all farming problems in China. C. Farmers prefer traditional methods to AI technology. D. China’s rural AI holds promise but faces challenges. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍人工智能在中国乡村广泛普及、助力农业生产，同时指出乡村AI应用虽前景可观，但仍存在诸多亟待解决的现实难题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“DeepSeek’s integration (融合) into WeChat brought lots of users to Tencent’s Yuanbao, whose DAU (Daily Active Users) jumped 20 times in two months.(DeepSeek接入微信后，为腾讯元宝吸引了大量用户，其日活用户量在两个月内激增二十倍。)” 可知，DeepSeek接入微信后，腾讯元宝的用户数量大幅快速增长。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Take one village in Hubei as an example: rice fields there were once in danger due to weeks of heavy rain.(以湖北的一个村庄为例，当地稻田曾因数周暴雨面临险情。)”可知，作者通过列举湖北乡村稻田借助AI解决农业危机的实例，论证乡村AI的实用价值，运用了举例的写作手法。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“It urgently demands simplified responses, voice control tools and solutions adapted to real-life conditions.(这迫切需要简化回复内容、增设语音控制工具以及贴合现实情况的解决方案。)”可知，研究人员接下来最可能提供简单、贴合生活、实用性强的操作指导与AI服务。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第五段中的“For Chinese farmers, the benefits of AI services are real and immediate. AI is no longer a futuristic idea but a daily tool in their daily life. However, with the rapid spread of AI in rural areas, many related challenges have appeared.(对中国农民而言，人工智能服务的益处真实且立竿见影。人工智能不再是一种未来构想，而是他们日常生活里的日常工具。但是，伴随着人工智能在乡村地区的快速推广，诸多相关难题已经出现。)”可知，文章既介绍了人工智能在乡村落地应用、助力农业发展的广阔前景，也阐述了其目前面临的各类应用困境，所以“中国乡村AI发展前景良好但仍面临挑战”最能概括全文核心，适合作为文章主旨。 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。 Duanwu is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals. The date of the festival is said to be the date when Qu Yuan died — the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It doesn’t follow the solar calendar we usually use. ____16____ According to traditional Chinese folk customs, the fifth lunar month is also called the “poisonous” month when many evil spirits and poisonous creatures appear. ____17____ Some people believe insects and pests are active during this summer month, which can bring infectious diseases to both humans and animals. This becomes the reason why people put calamus (菖蒲) on doors or windows to drive harmful insects from a house. ____18____ Fresh wormwood (艾草) is picked and put in the house, while the dried herb is often put into sachets (香囊) and worn during the festival. The herb, due to its medical functions, is not only a perfect choice for Duanwu, but also a daily necessity to many Chinese people. ____19____ People can use them during the Duanwu Festival, or the whole year to stay healthy. Wormwood can effectively drive mosquitoes and insects away in your house. Incense (香) is often made from wormwood that has been dried for at least three years. ____20____ Apart from this, there are some others deserving our favor. Soap made from wormwood is a reasonable choice, which can leave a natural scent on your body. Wormwood toothpaste and shampoo are good for your teeth and hair too, as the herb-based products can protect you in a safer and more natural way. A. People hold different opinions. B. This idea comes from ancient beliefs. C. Therefore, the date is different from year to year. D. There are some healthy products made from wormwood. E. Calamus is always used by some people to drive insects away. F. The longer the wormwood is dried, the stronger effect it will have. G. Another widely-used herb to stay healthy with on Duanwu is wormwood. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. G 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍中国端午节的时间特点、传统民俗，重点讲解菖蒲、艾草的用途以及艾草衍生的各类健康产品。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“The date of the festival is said to be the date when Qu Yuan died — the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It doesn’t follow the solar calendar we usually use.(端午节日期相传为屈原逝日，即农历五月初五，并不遵循我们常用的阳历。)”可知，前文点明端午使用农历计时，和公历不同，由此可推出每年公历日期有变化。C选项“Therefore, the date is different from year to year (因此，端午节的日期每年都不相同)”中的Therefore表示因果，承接前文农历计时的特点，得出日期逐年变化的结论，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“According to traditional Chinese folk customs, the fifth lunar month is also called the “poisonous” month when many evil spirits and poisonous creatures appear. (根据中国传统民间习俗，农历五月也被叫做“毒月”，这个月份会出现许多邪灵和有毒生物。)”以及空后的“Some people believe insects and pests are active during this summer month, which can bring infectious diseases to both humans and animals.(人们认为夏季五月虫害活跃，易给人畜带来传染病。)”可知，前后都是关于“毒月”的传统看法，空格需要交代该说法的来源。B选项“This idea comes from ancient beliefs (这种说法源自古代的传统观念)”中的 This idea 指代前文“五月为毒月”的说法，承上启下，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据空后的“Fresh wormwood (艾草) is picked and put in the house, while the dried herb is often put into sachets (香囊) and worn during the festival.(人们采摘新鲜艾草置于屋内，将干艾草制成香囊佩戴过节。)”可知，前文段落介绍菖蒲驱虫习俗，空后完整介绍新鲜艾草、干艾草香囊的端午用法，本段转换说明艾草相关民俗，需要一句过渡句引出艾草。G选项“Another widely-used herb to stay healthy with on Duanwu is wormwood (端午另一种用来养生的常用草本植物是艾草)”起到段落总起作用，承接上文菖蒲，引出本段艾草的相关习俗，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据空后的“People can use them during the Duanwu Festival, or the whole year to stay healthy. Wormwood can effectively drive mosquitoes and insects away in your house.(人们可在端午或全年使用它们养生，艾草能有效居家驱蚊防虫。)” 以及后文介绍艾草香、香皂、牙膏等制品可知，本段介绍各类艾草健康产品。D选项“There are some healthy products made from wormwood (市面上有一些艾草制成的健康产品)”总领本段内容，引出下文各类艾草产品的具体用途，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Incense (香) is often made from wormwood that has been dried for at least three years.(艾草香通常由晾晒至少三年的艾草制成。)”可知，前文提及艾草晾晒时长，空格需要延续晾晒时长和功效的关联。F选项“The longer the wormwood is dried, the stronger effect it will have (艾草晾晒的时间越久，功效就越强)” 承接前文陈年艾草制香的内容，形成逻辑递进，符合语境。 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。 I grew up with my parents and three siblings (兄弟姐妹), and money was short.

The first thing I did ____36____ I woke up in the morning was reach for my phone. The smartphone took up too much of my time, and I could have done something more ____37____ (meaning) than just looking at a tiny screen all day, but ____38____ was not easy to quit the habit. One day, I looked down at my smartphone when ____39____ (cross) the road, and I was nearly knocked off my feet. At that very moment, I made up my mind ____40____ (spend) a whole week without my smartphone. The first day was ____41____ hardest. Very soon, time slowed down. The empty hours stretched out in front of me, and I felt disconnected from everyone and everything. It was ____42____ (scare) at first. Then somehow I began to feel free. Most importantly, I began to appreciate the ____43____ (beautiful) in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera. My offline relationships ____44____ (benefit) as well. By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. I cannot escape from the modern world, but I can cut back _____45_____ the amount of time I spend on my smartphone every day, and I do. Life beyond smartphones is richer and more beautiful, and I am going to make full use of it. 【答案】36. when 37. meaningful 38. it 39. crossing 40. to spend 41. the 42. scary 43. beauty 44. benefited 45. on 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍作者曾经沉迷手机、险些发生危险后戒除手机瘾的经历与个人感悟。 【36题详解】 考查连词。句意：我早上醒来做的第一件事就是伸手拿手机。此处引导时间状语从句，意为“当……的时候”，所以用连词when。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：智能手机占据了我太多时间，我本可以做一些比整天只盯着一块小屏幕更有意义的事，但戒掉这个习惯并不容易。此处修饰不定代词something，需要形容词作后置定语，meaning对应的形容词为meaningful，意为“有意义的” 【38题详解】 考查代词。句意：智能手机占据了我太多时间，我本可以做一些比整天只盯着一块小屏幕更有意义的事，但戒掉这个习惯并不容易。此处为固定句型it is + adj. + to do sth.，it作形式主语，真正主语为后面的不定式，所以此处为代词it。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：有一天，我过马路时低头看手机，差点被撞倒。此处为when引导的时间状语从句中的省略结构，cross与逻辑主语I之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词crossing。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：就在那一刻，我下定决心整整一周不使用手机。此处为固定搭配make up one’s mind to do sth.，意为“下定决心做某事”，所以用动词不定式to spend。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：第一天是最难的。hardest为形容词最高级，前面需要加定冠词the，所以用the。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：起初这是令人害怕的。此处作表语，修饰事物，需要形容词，scare对应的形容词scary，意为“令人害怕的”。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意：最重要的是，我开始用自己的眼睛欣赏生活中的美好，而不是通过手机镜头。空前the后接名词作宾语，beautiful对应的名词beauty，意为“美好”。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：我的线下人际关系也受益良多。此处为谓语动词，全文讲述过去的经历，用一般过去时，benefit的过去式为benefited。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：我无法逃离现代世界，但我可以减少我每天花在智能手机上的时间，而且我确实在这么做。此处为固定搭配cut back on，意为“减少、削减”，所以此处为介词on。 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 你校将举办英语演讲比赛，请你以“Be smart online learners”为题写一篇演讲稿参赛。内容包括：1. 分析网络学习的优势和不足；2. 提出学习建议。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Be smart online learners ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Be smart online learners Hello, everyone!

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people. A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公Mae加入编程俱乐部，需完成一个解决实际问题的App项目。她从健忘的邻居Mrs. Thompson的需求中获得灵感，设计了一款提醒类App，最终展示项目并理解了编程的意义 —— 用科技关爱他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我坐在书桌前，笔记本打开着，思绪在脑海中飞速运转，脑海中浮现着各种细节”可知，第一段可描写作者想专门为老人设计一款“提醒App”，并描写设计过程和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，我向Davis女士展示了我的项目情况”可知，第二段可描写Davis女士对这款App的认可以及作者向Mrs. Thompson演示其使用方式，最后描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：明确设计理念，专为老人设计的一款“提醒App”—— 设计过程和决心 ——向Ms. Davis展示项目并获得认可 ——向Mrs. Thompson演示App的使用方法 —— 感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决心做：decide to do/be determined to do/make up one’s mind to do ②测试、检验：test/check/examine ③专注于：focus on/share/concentrate on ④称赞：praise/think highly of/speak highly of 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful ②亲切的：kind/ genial 【点睛】[高分句型1].

After returning from vacation, he noticed that mold in a petri dish had killed bacteria. This accidental discovery led to the development of antibiotics(抗生素), which have saved millions of lives since then. During World War II, penicillin was widely used to treat wounded soldiers and became known as a “wonder drug”. Fleming received the Nobel Prize in 1945 for his important work. Louis Pasteur(1822-1895) This French chemist proved that germs cause disease, changing our understanding of illness. He developed vaccines for rabies and anthrax, helping to prevent deadly infections. His pasteurization process, which kills harmful bacteria in milk and wine by heating them, is still used worldwide today. Pasteur’s germ theory laid the foundation for modern microbiology and changed how doctors treat patients. John Snow(1813-1858) English doctor Snow helped stop a deadly cholera outbreak in London in 1854. By carefully mapping cases on a street map, he proved that polluted water from a public pump spread the disease, not the popular belief of “bad air”. His work founded modern epidemiology(流行病学) — the study of how diseases spread — and led to major improvements in public health systems. Tu Youyou(1930-present) Inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin in the 1970s. After testing over 2,000 traditional recipes, she finally found a treatment for malaria(疟疾) in sweet wormwood. This drug has saved millions of lives in developing countries, especially in Africa. In 2015, she became the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, bringing traditional medicine into modern science. 1. What do Alexander Fleming and Tu Youyou have in common? A. Both discovered antibiotics by accident. B. Both worked mainly during World War II. C. Both won the Nobel Prize for their work. D. Both studied traditional Chinese medicine. 2. What can be inferred from the text? A. Tu Youyou’s research was inspired by Louis Pasteur’s work. B. John Snow’s method helped establish a new field of medical study. C. Louis Pasteur’s theory mainly influenced the treatment of malaria. D. Alexander Fleming’s discovery was based on years of planned experiments. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To compare traditional and modern medical approaches. B. To prove that accidents are important in medical research. C. To explain how Nobel Prize winners made their discoveries. D. To show how scientific contributions have improved global health. B For generations, the people of Havenbrook lived in peace, embraced by the beauty of the ocean and the quiet security of their coastal home. However, one terrible day, their peaceful life was turned upside down by a destructive natural disaster. The morning started like any other. The sun rose, casting its golden rays over the town. People woke up, prepared for their daily routine, and went about their business. Little did they know that a storm was growing far out on the ocean. As the day progressed, the sky began to darken, and the wind started to pick up. By afternoon, Havenbrook was in the control of a powerful hurricane. The hurricane’s strong winds tore through the town, cutting roofs into pieces and overturning trees. Huge waves from the ocean washed into the town, flooding streets and homes. Residents, caught unprepared, hurried to find shelter. Many were trapped in their homes, waiting in terror as the water rose higher and higher. It seemed as if the world were at an end. The town’s emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue those in danger. They used boats to travel through the flooded streets and transported people to safety. However, the storm was so powerful that even their efforts were limited. Many homes were completely destroyed, and lives were lost. The once-lively town was now a scene of ruin. After the hurricane, Havenbrook’s residents began the arduous task of rebuilding their lives. They worked together, sharing their resources and skills, to rebuild their homes and community. Support from outside the town poured in, with volunteers and donations helping to speed up the recovery process. Slowly but surely, Havenbrook began to rise from the ruins. 4. What can be learned about the residents from the first two paragraphs? A. They sensed the upcoming storm. B. They often suffered natural disasters. C. They were not prepared for daily life. D. They enjoyed a peaceful life before the disaster. 5. What happened when the hurricane hit the town? A. The residents ignored rescue work. B. The hurricane arrived with no warning. C. The residents left their homes instantly. D. The hurricane caused severe damage. 6. What action did the emergency services take during the disaster? A. They transported some people to safe places. B. They rescued everybody successfully by boat. C. They delayed their action until the storm ended. D. They refused to reach the affected areas due to the storm. 7. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “arduous”? A. Challenging. B. Effortless. C. Deadly. D. Limited. C Poetry and nature writings can be powerful ways for people to connect with the natural world. A new poetry collection coming out this month, titled Dawn Songs: A Birdwatcher’s Field Guide to the Poetics of Migration, features reflections on our relationships with birds. The book happened to come out on the 30th anniversary (周年) of International Migratory Bird Day, which was co-founded in 1993 by Reaser. “Dawn Songs is more than a book,” said Reaser. “It is a calling together of birds and bird watchers across different habitats and indefinite identities. It is a celebration of what unites us at the edges of nature and human nature. It is, in part, Emily Dickinson’s ‘Hope is the thing with feathers.’” The poetry collection contains works from 60 writers. Some are well-established in their field, while others “have had fewer opportunities to voice their stories,” Reaser said. “One of our intentions was to make such voices heard, to invite the lesser-known authors onto a stage where they could be better heard.” The book is divided into four sections: “To Know,” “To Wonder,” “To Lament,” and “To Celebrate.” Each explores the connection between nature and human nature from a different point of view. In “To Know,” poets write about their personal relationships with birds, expressing joy at watching swallows fly or herons hunt. “To Wonder” contains works expressing questions that birds inspire. “To Lament” allows space to mourn species reduction and the deaths of individual birds. The poetry collection ends on an exciting note with “To Celebrate,” which contains joyous odes (颂歌) to the gifts birds give us. Profits from the book will support ABC’s Fellowship Program, which supports the next generation of bird protectors through scientific research, community activities, and storytelling. Applications are actively sought from individuals from different backgrounds, including those historically without a voice in environmental protections. “We are honored that the editors have chosen to support our program,” said Naamal De Silva from ABC. “Their choice will bring more attention to the program and to current fellows.” 8. What’s the main idea of Reaser’s words in paragraph 2? A. The book emphasizes harm done to birds. B. The book honours nature-human connection. C. The book mainly teaches how to watch birds. D. The book collects different poems about hope. 9. What is one of the reasons for publishing Dawn Songs? A. To replace traditional bird-watching guides. B. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of a festival. C. To call on bird-watchers to write more poetry. D. To help unnoticed writers gain more attention. 10. In which section can we feel regret for species loss? A. “To Know”. B. “To Wonder”. C. “To Lament”. D. “To Celebrate” 11. How will the profits from Dawn Songs be used? A. To publish more books about birds’ life. B. To support a program for bird protectors. C. To build new research centers for bird study. D. To plan bird-watching events for residents. D A quiet AI revolution is happening in China’s countryside. In provinces like Jilin, Yunnan and Hubei, farmers are turning to AI to save their crops from flooding and disease. China is offering the world a new route for AI development. Free AI services have gained widespread popularity across China. DeepSeek’s integration (融合) into WeChat brought lots of users to Tencent’s Yuanbao, whose DAU (Daily Active Users) jumped 20 times in two months. AI has quickly integrated into people’s daily life and serves a huge number of farmers in the countryside. By making AI tools free and accessible through platforms like WeChat, China has driven wide grassroots application. Chinese companies put user scale first — and that scale is surprising: nearly 300 million farmers, representing about 20% of the national population, are potential AI users. This large group of rural users can be clearly seen from real farming cases. Take one village in Hubei as an example: rice fields there were once in danger due to weeks of heavy rain. As a result, farmers turned to Yuanbao. The chatbot recommended building embankments (堤岸) and changing to high-ridge planting (高垄种植) — the advice arrived instantly, adapted to specific problems and images uploaded by farmers with little formal education. For Chinese farmers, the benefits of AI services are real and immediate. AI is no longer a futuristic idea but a daily tool in their daily life. However, with the rapid spread of AI in rural areas, many related challenges have appeared. AI researchers found that most farmers didn’t know how to put useful questions to AI chatbots unless led by local officials. Educational gaps remain a problem: even when farmers receive answers, they might not understand the technical terms involved. Without a complete cycle of understanding and putting ideas into practice, the benefits of AI can’t be fully realized. Researchers also stress that making AI useful for the farmers as well as the elderly will require more than just stylish interfaces and bigger models. It urgently demands simplified responses, voice control tools and solutions adapted to real-life conditions. 12. What resulted from DeepSeek’s integration into WeChat? A. Free AI services in China became available. B. Tencent’s Yuanbao saw a rapid increase in users. C. Farmers in Hubei doubled their rice production. D. WeChat users’ potential improved significantly. 13. What writing skill does the author mainly use in Paragraph 4? A. Making a comparison B. Giving an example C. Listing numbers D. Explaining cause and effect 14. What will the researchers most probably do next? A. Develop larger AI models. B. Spread AI access to more cities. C. Provide simple and practical instructions. D. Teach farmers to understand technical terms. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI companies profit greatly from rural users. B. AI has solved all farming problems in China. C. Farmers prefer traditional methods to AI technology. D. China’s rural AI holds promise but faces challenges. 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。 Duanwu is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals.

Incense (香) is often made from wormwood that has been dried for at least three years. ____20____ Apart from this, there are some others deserving our favor.

Wormwood toothpaste and shampoo are good for your teeth and hair too, as the herb-based products can protect you in a safer and more natural way. A. People hold different opinions. B. This idea comes from ancient beliefs. C. Therefore, the date is different from year to year. D. There are some healthy products made from wormwood. E.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” she added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
