(2026·南京、盐城调研测试)More than 20 years ago, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea: what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer? What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better? No one had done it before. Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn't let the idea go.
Now, in a landmark moment for cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Huey Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng's Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale's library, seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses and based on this the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice.
What followed were years of additional testing of the drug's effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again. YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates.
All they need now are larger data sets. When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.
It has been a long journey, but if Cheng and his team are successful, it could be a new approach for treating cancer.They called the new approach “WE” medicine, a combination of Western medicine and Eastern medicine. “It's a totally new model. I've met with a lot of doubt, but I think the results will speak for themselves,” Cheng said.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了耶鲁大学教授郑永齐及其团队在开发植物抗癌药物方面所做出的贡献。

(2026·浙江名校协作体联考)Imagine you're purchasing a lottery ticket, and your heart races as you check the numbers. To your amazement, you've matched five out of six! What will you do next? Will you buy another ticket? For most people, the answer is a big “Yes”.
When we come close to achieving a goal, we often gain a powerful energy that can drive us toward future success. Monica Wadhwa, a marketing professor at Temple University, suggests that not winning can actually motivate us more than winning itself.
In her studies, Wadhwa conducted various experiments to test this concept. In one experiment, participants played a cellphone game with the task of revealing eight diamonds. After the game, those who nearly won—by getting seven diamonds—walked faster to claim their reward than both winners and losers. “Their motivation is getting intensified, but then they miss it ... So what happens to this motivation? It hooks on, giving you the energy for the next goal that you have.” Wadhwa explains, “As for the winners, they inch toward their goal, they achieve it, and their motivation is satisfied, which leaves them with no need to fight for anything else.”
However,__this__fire__in__your__belly__should__be__used__wisely. Such motivation can push you toward significant goals, or be wasted on distractions. In another experiment at a fashion-accessory store where shoppers were given scratch-off lottery tickets, the near-winners shopped more and spent more than both winners and losers.
To harness this energy, Wadhwa advises setting goals that are slightly beyond our reach. She encourages managers to establish challenging yet achievable targets for their teams. Additionally, she recommends that parents highlight how close their children came to winning when they experience losses, fostering resilience and motivation. By understanding the unique power of nearly winning, we can turn setbacks into stepping stones for future success. As Wadhwa puts it. “Winners really do not take it all.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“接近成功”对人们的影响,并展现了如何将这种“接近成功”的能量转化为实现未来成功的动力。

(2026·宜宾适应性考试)As a scientist, Sara Cox realizes the dangers her beloved birds face. As an artist, she wants to help everyone else understand too.
Sara stops walking and points excitedly over the drystone wall into the field beyond. There, walking among the wandering sheep, is a lapwing, the official bird of the North Pennines. “They are brilliant,” Sara says, a smile across her face as she watches the small bird peck grass. Early spring marks the return of lapwings to Teesdale, where Sara's family has lived for two decades.
Sara is out for one of her regular walks for inspiration, making drafts and mental notes to help her with her work. She specializes in making life-size bird sculptures out of wire, and some of her sculptures are installed on a nature road around Durham Wildlife Trust's reserve at Low Barns near Bishop Auckland.
“It's about drawing attention to certain birds,” she says, adding: “A lot of the birds I've made have been endangered or are on the red list.”
“I'm very conscious the birds that come up here are dropping in number. The environmental impact of what we do on birds is pretty severe, so anything I can do that makes people feel emotion or interest when they look at a sculpture is good for the environment.”
Sara has science degrees from Aberystwyth, Sheffield and Durham, including one in zoology. But she also has a lifelong love of art and passion for creating things. Chirpy, one of the birds she made, recently spent a few weeks in London as part of the Royal Society of British Artists annual exhibition.
“It was an absolute treat to go down and they displayed him beautifully,” Sara says. “People said to me ‘can you bear to let him go’ and I was thinking ‘yeah, absolutely’, because that's the point of making these things.”

长难句分析
[A篇]When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.
[分析] 本句为主从复合句。句中when引导时间状语从句; 主句中“developed...products”为过去分词短语作后置定语;第一个which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词drugs;the discovery of which引导非限制性定语从句,which指代qinghao。
[译文] 大约三年后,当国际试验的结果公布时,YIV-906可能会跻身由天然产物研发出的众多突破性药物的行列,其中包括从中草药青蒿中开发的一种治疗疟疾的药物,该药物的发现使化学家屠呦呦获得了诺贝尔奖。
[C篇]The environmental impact of what we do on birds is pretty severe, so anything I can do that makes people feel emotion or interest when they look at a sculpture is good for the environment.
[分析] 本句是复合句。what引导宾语从句,作介词of的宾语;anything后跟了两个定语从句;在第二个定语从句中又包含了when引导的时间状语从句。
[译文] 我们对鸟类的所作所为给环境带来的影响非常严重,所以只要我能做些什么,让人们在观赏雕塑时产生情感共鸣或兴趣,那就对环境有好处。
[七选五]Some will be easy, while others may take months or maybe years to get rid of and eradicate completely from your life, but the sooner you start fighting, the better.
[分析] 句中while为并列连词,表示对比;to get rid of and eradicate completely from your life是动词不定式短语作目的状语;the sooner you start fighting, the better是一个比较级的特殊用法,表示 “越……,就越……”。
[译文] 有些习惯会很容易改掉,而其他一些可能需要数月甚至数年的时间才能从你的生活中彻底摆脱和根除,但越早开始对抗,情况就越好。
