Below are stories from some of the scientists who are involved in the program.Noor Al-Alusi, Epidemiologist (流行病学家) “I have a black belt in Taekwondo (跆拳道). I am driven by a deep desire to help others. I believe that all people have a fundamental right to health care.” Her work: During the Zika epidemic, Al-Alusi met with the communities that had been hardest hit by the virus, using data and mathematical models to keep them safe and healthy. Background: Al-Alusi was born in California but her parents emigrated from Iraq. This experience provided her with an understanding of the health needs of the immigrant community.Ryoji Amamoto, Neurobiologist (神经生物学家) “I’m a huge sports fan. I’ve traveled to more than 40 countries. I’m a licensed scuba diver but a terrible swimmer. I hated science in high school.” His work: Amamoto studies the tiny but amazing brains of animals that have a superpower — the ability to regenerate. He learns what factors help these special brains regrow, so that we can try to treat diseases like Parkinson’s. Background: Amamoto lived in Japan until the age of eight, when his family moved to Chicago. He had to overcome major language barriers which saw him shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home.Yamicia Connor, Physician Scientist “I once competed in a robot competition. I love Beyonce. I love cooking. I’m a doctor who studies ways to improve women’s health.” Her work: Connor is a doctor at a hospital in Boston where she studies cancer cells in a lab using microscopes and computers, but she also works directly with patients who are undergoing tests for new cancer treatments. Background: Growing up in Florida, Connor was a serious kid who stressed about the little things. She was into her schoolwork and loved to put on plays with her friends in which she would organize the whole thing and assign everyone a role. 21．(2.5分)What can the students know about the scientists through the program?

In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers. By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities. But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women-founded companies. “Who can I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I learn from?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope. Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day! That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too-because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that. I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow. 24．(2.5分)How did the author build up her confidence? A．By cooperating with women of color. B．By observing and copying her models. C．By making friends with persons like her. D．By starting her own sunglasses company. 25．(2.5分)What is the author’s intention of creating an inspiration wall in her office? A．To inspire her employees’ creativity. B．To make her workplace more attractive. C．To encourage herself to achieve success. D．To improve her employees’ work efficiency. 26．(2.5分)Why did the author choose to reach out to Vicky? A．She was afraid of being rejected. B．She only had Vicky’s email address. C．Vicky’s story had always motivated her. D．Vicky liked giving guidance to other women. 27．(2.5分)What can be concluded according to the text? A．Practice makes perfect. B．Strength flows both ways. C．A good beginning is half done. D．Actions speak louder than words. （本题10分）A famous American poet Robert Frost once said, “Poetry is what gets lost in translation. ”But XuYuanchong, well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.” Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature. Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation. Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama. Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said. 28．(2.5分)What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong? A．He mastered at least three foreign languages. B．He translated about 100 Chinese works into English. C．He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize. D．He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Particular. B．Satisfied. C．Inventive. D．Productive. 30．(2.5分)Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4? A．To recommend Xu’s translation works. B．To stress the charm of Chinese poetry. C．To show Xu’s great translation skills. D．To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. 31．(2.5分)Which of the following words can best describe Xu? A．Thoughtful and modest. B．Generous and objective C．Creative and open-minded. D．Devoted and hard-working. （本题10分）A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) (脑机接口) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone. The technology, currently in clinical trials, offers new hope for patients with speech loss due to conditions such as stroke. Scientists from Shanghai-based startup INSIDE and Huashan Hospital implanted electrodes (电极) into participants with epilepsy (癫痫). After an average of just 100 minutes of training, their custom-built intelligent system read and interpreted brain activities associated with the intended speech of 54 Chinese characters in real time. Training on those characters then enabled the system to interpret 1,951 common words correctly and generate complete Chinese sentences in less than half a second, with virtually no length limit. “Unlike English’s basic speech sounds, Chinese involves over 400 different syllables,” explains Li Meng, INSIDE’s chief scientist. The team trained on data from the world’s largest human brainwave database built by Huashan Hospital, and the AI identified basic sounds of speech with over 83 percent accuracy, according to Li. Looking ahead, researchers envision the interpreted text allowing users to control smart environments, or even generate expressive artworks through generative AI systems. Huashan Hospital has played a key role in brain-computer interface clinical trials. In August 2024, neurosurgeons at the Hospital implanted a 256-channel flexible BCI device designed by the Shanghai-based NeuroXess into a 21-year-old female patient with epilepsy. Within 48 hours, the patient successfully engaged in table tennis and snake computer games through brain control. In June 2025, a Chinese man who had lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 13 years ago was shown playing chess and racing games using only his mind. This followed the implantation of a BCI device developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Recognizing BCI as a strategic future industry, Shanghai aims to achieve high-quality brain control and fully integrate BCI products into clinical applications by 2030. 32．(2.5分)What can be learned about BCI technology from Paragraph 1? A．It improves communication skills. B．It translates thoughts into sentences. C．It helps to treat stroke patients. D．It serves as a Chinese learning tool. 33．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes the training? A．Traditional. B．Personalized. C．Thorough. D．Efficient. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the two examples in Paragraph 4? A．To explain the working process of BCI. B．To show the promising future of BCI. C．To describe the history of Huashan Hospital. D．To display the variety of BCI devices. 35．(2.5分)What is a suitable title for the text? A．AI: Controlling Games with Mind B．INSIDE: Building BCI Industry C．Implants: Reading Brain Signals D．BCI: Giving Voice to Thought （本题12.5分）So, what does it take to be great? I thoroughly reject the “10 years, 10,000 hours” notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time. 36(2.5分) Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. 37(2.5分) Inborn ability is certainly a wonderful thing to have been given, but it is a bit overrated. 38(2.5分) What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. The world is full of gifted failures, of “can’t miss kids” who missed. Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning of the race to be great. 39(2.5分) You have to work hard, push your limits, and struggle mightily to get to the finish for anything in life worth pursuing greatness in. Ultimately, being great isn’t about being objectively great because, as noted above, the chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is, statistically, very small. 40(2.5分) I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success. A．Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control. B．But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish C．Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness. D．Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness. E．You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness. F．The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent. G．They enjoy the struggles they experienced and the satisfaction of overcoming them. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）His goal was to walk around the world. 27 years later, he’s about to finish. In 1998, British 41 Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a 42 goal: walk all the way home to Hull, England — without using a single form of 43 . What he didn’t know then was that it would stretch into a remarkable 27-year journey 44 continents, oceans, and history itself. Now, after walking 36,000 miles, 45 polar bears, swimming across seas, and navigating 46 visa setbacks, the 56-year-old ex-paratrooper (前伞兵) is 47 on the home stretch. Bushby began his adventure in Chile, trekking (跋涉) north through South and North America, eventually reaching Alaska. In 2006, he 48 one of the most dangerous legs of the journey: crossing the frozen Bering Strait into Siberia. 49 with a gun to scare off polar bears and forced to 50 between moving blocks of ice, he achieved what few people on Earth have ever done. His 51 didn’t stop there. Bushby was held in Russia for entering incorrectly and banned for five years. Sponsorships 52 during the 2008 financial crisis. The pandemic stopped his progress. Visa issues left him 53 in Mexico for years. But he refused to quit. Bushby walks an average of 30km a day and rests wherever he can find 54 . His mission has outlasted five UK prime ministers, a global pandemic, and numerous wars — but his spirit remains as strong as it was in 1998. And the world is cheering him on as he enters the final chapter of one of the most 55 human endurance journeys ever attempted. 41．(1分)A．historian B．photographer C．adventurer D．journalist 42．(1分)A．realistic B．daring C．collective D．demanding 43．(1分)A．transport B．navigation C．communication D．equipment 44．(1分)A．connecting B．including C．covering D．overcoming 45．(1分)A．hunting B．feeding C．threatening D．surviving 46．(1分)A．scarce B．minor C．countless D．occasional 47．(1分)A．consequently B．randomly C．unexpectedly D．ultimately 48．(1分)A．attempted B．sought C．recognized D．advocated 49．(1分)A．Loaded B．Armed C．Confronted D．Provided 50．(1分)A．swap B．leap C．slip D．march 51．(1分)A．challenges B．achievements C．inspirations D．pursuits 52．(1分)A．used up B．pulled down C．backed down D．dried up 53．(1分)A．isolated B．settled C．rooted D．stuck 54．(1分)A．warmth B．company C．shelter D．comfort 55．(1分)A．extraordinary B．conventional C．universal D．historical 四、语法填空 （本题15分）语法填空 Zu Chongzhi was a famous and remarkable mathematician and scientist in ancient China. He lived in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. When he was young, he had 56(1.5分) broad range of interests, such as 57(1.5分) (nature) science and philosophy. And he was interested in mathematics, astronomy and machinery. The achievement Zu Chongzhi made in the calculation (计算) of the value of pi has been 58(1.5分) (international) acknowledged. Liu Hui, a mathematician in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, proposed a way 59(1.5分) (work) out the value of pi—the cyclotomic method (割圆术). Based on the earlier research, Zu Chongzhi came to the conclusion that the value of pi falls between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927 after more than 1,000 60(1.5分) (time) of calculation. He also 61(1.5分) (put) forward the viewpoint that the approximate value of pi is 355/113, which is called “milü”. It boosted the calculation of pi to a new phase. It was more than 1,000 years before the Western mathematicians calculated the same value. Thus the value of pi is also called “zulü” 62(1.5分) memory of him. Besides the achievement in mathematics, he wrote the book Zhui Shu, 63(1.5分) gathered his accomplishments in mathematics and 64(1.5分) (take) as a teaching material during the Tang Dynasty. And he also made a great 65(1.5分) (contribute) to astronomy and machinery. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是李华，是某英语报的主编。最近，你报将举办一个以“How to Become a Successful Person?”为题的征文比赛。请根据下面的写作要点，用英语写一篇征稿启事： 1. 活动目的; 2. 稿件要求：内容、字数等; 3. 交稿时间和方式。 注意： 1. 词数80左右; 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）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。 An abandoned dog stopped at the front door of the Laceys’ small house, wagging its tail, trembling with shyness and cold. Doris Lacey, whose school had been called off because of the snow, spotted the creature and immediately went up to meet it. “Where did that come from?” Mrs. Lacey asked as soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen. Mr. Lacey was at the table, cleaning his fingernails. “I don’t know where it came from, ” he said mildly, “but I know for sure where it’s going.” Doris hugged the dog hard against her. She said nothing. Because of the snow, the roads would be too bad for travel for many days. Mr. Lacey couldn’t get out to take the dog to the animal shelter in the city right away. He agreed to let it sleep in the basement while Mrs. Lacey unwillingly let Doris feed it leftover food. Four days passed and the dog did not complain. It never cried in the night or barked at the wind. It didn’t tear up everything in the basement. It wouldn’t even follow Doris up the basement steps unless it was invited. It was a good dog. Several times Doris had opened the door in the kitchen that led to the basement and the puppy had been there, all stretched out, on the top step. Doris knew it had wanted some company and that it had lain against the door, listening to the talk in the kitchen, smelling the food, being a part of things. It always wagged its tail, eyes all sleepy, when she found it there. Even after a week had gone by, Doris didn’t name the dog. She knew her parents wouldn’t let her keep it, that her father made so little money and any pets were out of the question, and that the dog would definitely go to the shelter when the weather cleared. Still, she tried talking to them about the dog at dinner one night. “She’s a good dog and not much trouble, right?” Doris said, hoping one of them would agree with her. But Mr. Lacey shook his head, “You know we can’t afford a dog, Doris. You try to act more grown-up about this.” Doris fell silent, praying the weather would never clear. 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。 However, the sun was shining the next morning. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that afternoon, Mr. Lacey came back with the same dog. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 1 People of Achievement（较难版01） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What are the speakers talking about?

I am driven by a deep desire to help others. I believe that all people have a fundamental right to health care.” Her work: During the Zika epidemic, Al-Alusi met with the communities that had been hardest hit by the virus, using data and mathematical models to keep them safe and healthy. Background: Al-Alusi was born in California but her parents emigrated from Iraq. This experience provided her with an understanding of the health needs of the immigrant community.Ryoji Amamoto, Neurobiologist (神经生物学家) “I’m a huge sports fan. I’ve traveled to more than 40 countries. I’m a licensed scuba diver but a terrible swimmer. I hated science in high school.” His work: Amamoto studies the tiny but amazing brains of animals that have a superpower — the ability to regenerate. He learns what factors help these special brains regrow, so that we can try to treat diseases like Parkinson’s. Background: Amamoto lived in Japan until the age of eight, when his family moved to Chicago. He had to overcome major language barriers which saw him shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home.Yamicia Connor, Physician Scientist “I once competed in a robot competition.

In school, as a teenager, I tried to channel Whitney Houston. In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers. By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities. But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women-founded companies. “Who can I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I learn from?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope. Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day! That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too-because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that. I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow. 24．(2.5分)How did the author build up her confidence? A．By cooperating with women of color. B．By observing and copying her models. C．By making friends with persons like her. D．By starting her own sunglasses company. 25．(2.5分)What is the author’s intention of creating an inspiration wall in her office? A．To inspire her employees’ creativity. B．To make her workplace more attractive. C．To encourage herself to achieve success. D．To improve her employees’ work efficiency. 26．(2.5分)Why did the author choose to reach out to Vicky? A．She was afraid of being rejected. B．She only had Vicky’s email address. C．Vicky’s story had always motivated her. D．Vicky liked giving guidance to other women. 27．(2.5分)What can be concluded according to the text? A．Practice makes perfect. B．Strength flows both ways. C．A good beginning is half done. D．Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．C 27．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者从小就从榜样中汲取力量，也一直认为榜样是一种单向关系，直到接触了其中一个榜样人物Vicky后才明白自己和榜样之间是互相帮助彼此成长的。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities.(通过观察和模仿别人——尤其是那些和我长相或声音相似的有色人种女性——我对自己的能力有了信心。)”可知，作者通过观察和模仿她的榜样来建立她的信心。故选B。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope.(我决定在我的办公室里建一面灵感墙，上面挂着我能看到的榜样的照片——像Oprah、Michelle Obama和一个护肤品牌的联合创始人Vicky这样的女性。我从没想过会遇到这些女人，但她们的成功给了我希望。)”可知，作者在办公室创建灵感墙是为了激励自己努力工作。故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据第三年段中“I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me.(我选择了Vicky，她的经历一直激励着我。)”可知，作者选择联系Vicky是因为Vicky的故事一直激励着作者。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第四段中“All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that.(在我的一生中，我一直认为榜样是一种单向关系：我从更强大的人那里获得力量。但情况不止于此。)”和最后一段中“We’re all here to help each other grow.(我们都是来帮助彼此成长的。)”可知，作者从小就从榜样中汲取力量，也一直认为榜样是一种单向关系，直到接触了其中一个榜样人物Vicky后才明白自己和榜样之间是互相帮助彼此成长，因此，根据文章可以得出的结论是力量是双向流动的。故选B。 （本题10分）A famous American poet Robert Frost once said, “Poetry is what gets lost in translation. ”But XuYuanchong, well-known Chinese translator, had tried to convey the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry throughout his life. His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.” Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature. Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation. Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama. Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said. 28．(2.5分)What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong? A．He mastered at least three foreign languages. B．He translated about 100 Chinese works into English. C．He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize. D．He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses. 29．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Particular. B．Satisfied. C．Inventive. D．Productive. 30．(2.5分)Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4? A．To recommend Xu’s translation works. B．To stress the charm of Chinese poetry. C．To show Xu’s great translation skills. D．To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese. 31．(2.5分)Which of the following words can best describe Xu? A．Thoughtful and modest. B．Generous and objective C．Creative and open-minded. D．Devoted and hard-working. 【答案】28．D 29．A 30．C 31．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国著名翻译家许渊冲对于翻译的贡献。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French.(自1978年以来，许出版了100多部中、英、法翻译作品，在国内外拥有数百万读者。最值得注意的是，他将中国诗歌翻译成英语和法语的押韵诗)”可知，他以翻译押韵诗而广为人知。故选D。 29．词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation.(对他来说，英语是一种“科学”语言，需要精确，而汉语是一种“艺术”语言，包含更广泛的内容。遵循这一原则，他在翻译中既保持了意义上的忠实，又保持了情感上的美)”可知，本段主要讲述了许渊冲先生在他的翻译中不仅追求“直”也追求“美”，由此可推知，他在翻译时是极其严谨和注重细节的。fastidious意为“讲究的，挑剔的”。故选A。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段“For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama.(例如，当美国前总统Barack Obama在其任期内试图启动一项医疗保健项目时，一些参议员起初表示反对。但在阅读了许翻译的《江雪》这首诗后，一位参议员被这位渔夫的独立思考所打动，选择放弃党派路线，转而支持奥巴马)”可推知，本段是为了说明许渊冲的翻译技巧之高。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据第二段“Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad.(自1978年以来，许出版了100多部中、英、法翻译作品，在国内外拥有数百万读者)”以及最后一段“Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine.

The technology, currently in clinical trials, offers new hope for patients with speech loss due to conditions such as stroke. Scientists from Shanghai-based startup INSIDE and Huashan Hospital implanted electrodes (电极) into participants with epilepsy (癫痫). After an average of just 100 minutes of training, their custom-built intelligent system read and interpreted brain activities associated with the intended speech of 54 Chinese characters in real time. Training on those characters then enabled the system to interpret 1,951 common words correctly and generate complete Chinese sentences in less than half a second, with virtually no length limit. “Unlike English’s basic speech sounds, Chinese involves over 400 different syllables,” explains Li Meng, INSIDE’s chief scientist. The team trained on data from the world’s largest human brainwave database built by Huashan Hospital, and the AI identified basic sounds of speech with over 83 percent accuracy, according to Li. Looking ahead, researchers envision the interpreted text allowing users to control smart environments, or even generate expressive artworks through generative AI systems. Huashan Hospital has played a key role in brain-computer interface clinical trials. In August 2024, neurosurgeons at the Hospital implanted a 256-channel flexible BCI device designed by the Shanghai-based NeuroXess into a 21-year-old female patient with epilepsy. Within 48 hours, the patient successfully engaged in table tennis and snake computer games through brain control. In June 2025, a Chinese man who had lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 13 years ago was shown playing chess and racing games using only his mind. This followed the implantation of a BCI device developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Recognizing BCI as a strategic future industry, Shanghai aims to achieve high-quality brain control and fully integrate BCI products into clinical applications by 2030. 32．(2.5分)What can be learned about BCI technology from Paragraph 1? A．It improves communication skills. B．It translates thoughts into sentences. C．It helps to treat stroke patients. D．It serves as a Chinese learning tool. 33．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes the training? A．Traditional. B．Personalized. C．Thorough. D．Efficient. 34．(2.5分)Why does the author mention the two examples in Paragraph 4? A．To explain the working process of BCI. B．To show the promising future of BCI. C．To describe the history of Huashan Hospital. D．To display the variety of BCI devices. 35．(2.5分)What is a suitable title for the text? A．AI: Controlling Games with Mind B．INSIDE: Building BCI Industry C．Implants: Reading Brain Signals D．BCI: Giving Voice to Thought 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国研究团队在脑机接口（BCI）技术上的新突破，该技术可将大脑想法转化为完整中文句子，为失语患者带来新希望，并展现了其广阔的应用前景。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone.(一组中国研究人员和临床神经学家在脑机接口（BCI）技术上取得了新突破，使10个人仅通过思维就能交流复杂的中文句子。)”可知，BCI技术可以将思维转化为句子。故选B。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段“After an average of just 100 minutes of training, their custom-built intelligent system read and interpreted brain activities associated with the intended speech of 54 Chinese characters in real time.(经过平均仅100分钟的训练，他们定制的智能系统就能实时读取和解读与54个汉字目标发音相关的大脑活动。)”可知，仅用100分钟训练就实现了高效转化，说明训练是高效的。故选D。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段“Within 48 hours, the patient successfully engaged in table tennis and snake computer games through brain control.(在48小时内，患者成功通过大脑控制参与了乒乓球和贪吃蛇电脑游戏。)”和“In June 2025, a Chinese man who had lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 13 years ago was shown playing chess and racing games using only his mind.(2025年6月，一名13年前在一场严重事故中失去四肢的中国男子被展示仅用意念下棋和玩赛车游戏。)”可知，这两个例子展示了BCI技术在不同场景下的应用，以此体现其广阔的未来前景。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone.(一组中国研究人员和临床神经学家在脑机接口（BCI）技术上取得了新突破，使10个人仅通过思维就能交流复杂的中文句子。)”可知，全文围绕BCI技术展开，核心是该技术能将大脑中的想法转化为可交流的句子和可执行的动作。D选项“BCI: Giving Voice to Thought(BCI：为思维赋予声音)”最能概括文章主旨，既点明了技术名称，又体现了其核心功能。故选D。 （本题12.5分）So, what does it take to be great? I thoroughly reject the “10 years, 10,000 hours” notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time. 36(2.5分) Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. 37(2.5分) Inborn ability is certainly a wonderful thing to have been given, but it is a bit overrated. 38(2.5分) What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. The world is full of gifted failures, of “can’t miss kids” who missed. Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning of the race to be great. 39(2.5分) You have to work hard, push your limits, and struggle mightily to get to the finish for anything in life worth pursuing greatness in. Ultimately, being great isn’t about being objectively great because, as noted above, the chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is, statistically, very small. 40(2.5分) I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success. A．Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control. B．But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish C．Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness. D．Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness. E．You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness. F．The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent. G．They enjoy the struggles they experienced and the satisfaction of overcoming them. 【答案】36．F 37．A 38．D 39．B 40．C 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章就怎样才能成为伟大的人发表自己观点，即充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力，从而找到一个合理的成功水平。 【详解】36．由上文“So, what does it take to be great? I thoroughly reject the ‘10 years, 10,000 hours’ notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time.(那么，怎样才能成为伟大的人呢？我坚决反对‘10年，10000小时’的观点，即只要投入足够的时间，任何人都可以成为专家。)”可知，作者这里否定只要时间足够就能成为专家，而F项The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent.(事实上，基因很重要，无论是天生的智力还是天生的身体天赋。)符合语境，即提出自己的观点——基因决定能否成为伟人，且The reality 与下文Another reality 对应，有启下作用。故选F项。 37．由上文“Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. (另一个现实是，你无法控制你的基因。如果你得到了父母的好基因，感谢他们。如果你没有，不要责怪你的父母，因为他们也没有选择自己的基因。)”可知，这里讲你无法控制你的基因，而A项Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control.(相反，不必追究它，专注于你能控制的事情。)符合语境，其中Instead与上文形成转折，can control也与上文 can’t control形成对比。故选A项。 38．由下文“What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. (这意味着你需要天生的能力才能变得伟大，但这还不够。)”可知，这里讲天生的能力也并不足够让你变得伟大，而D项Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness.(天生的能力是伟大的必要因素，但还不够。)符合语境，其中Inborn ability与上下文对应，下句也对本句进行了解释说明，所以本句有启下作用。故选D项。 39．由上文“Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning of the race to be great. (天赋只是伟大的起点，如果你足够幸运地赢得了基因彩票，它会让你在比赛一开始就处于领先地位。) ”可知，这里主要讲天赋只是让你起点领先，但不保证终点能领先。而B项But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish(但是，当然，比赛不是在开始时获胜，而是在结束时获胜)符合语境，其中at the start与上文at the beginning of对应，at the finish与下文get to the finish 对应，所以本句有承上启下作用。故选B项。 40．由下文“I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success.(我将其定义为充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力。这种与生俱来的能力可能不足以成为你成就领域的超级明星，但如果你做了必要的事情，你会找到一个合理的成功水平。)”可知，这里主要讲充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力来实现适合你自己的伟大，而C项Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness.(相反，你的目标应该是找到自己的个人伟大之处。)符合语境，其中 your own personal greatness为下文 that的指代内容，所以本句有启下作用。故选C项。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）His goal was to walk around the world. 27 years later, he’s about to finish. In 1998, British 41 Karl Bushby looked down a road in Chile and set a 42 goal: walk all the way home to Hull, England — without using a single form of 43 . What he didn’t know then was that it would stretch into a remarkable 27-year journey 44 continents, oceans, and history itself. Now, after walking 36,000 miles, 45 polar bears, swimming across seas, and navigating 46 visa setbacks, the 56-year-old ex-paratrooper (前伞兵) is 47 on the home stretch. Bushby began his adventure in Chile, trekking (跋涉) north through South and North America, eventually reaching Alaska. In 2006, he 48 one of the most dangerous legs of the journey: crossing the frozen Bering Strait into Siberia. 49 with a gun to scare off polar bears and forced to 50 between moving blocks of ice, he achieved what few people on Earth have ever done. His 51 didn’t stop there. Bushby was held in Russia for entering incorrectly and banned for five years. Sponsorships 52 during the 2008 financial crisis. The pandemic stopped his progress.

Doris Lacey, whose school had been called off because of the snow, spotted the creature and immediately went up to meet it. “Where did that come from?” Mrs. Lacey asked as soon as Doris put the dog down in the kitchen. Mr. Lacey was at the table, cleaning his fingernails. “I don’t know where it came from, ” he said mildly, “but I know for sure where it’s going.” Doris hugged the dog hard against her. She said nothing. Because of the snow, the roads would be too bad for travel for many days. Mr. Lacey couldn’t get out to take the dog to the animal shelter in the city right away. He agreed to let it sleep in the basement while Mrs. Lacey unwillingly let Doris feed it leftover food. Four days passed and the dog did not complain. It never cried in the night or barked at the wind. It didn’t tear up everything in the basement. It wouldn’t even follow Doris up the basement steps unless it was invited. It was a good dog. Several times Doris had opened the door in the kitchen that led to the basement and the puppy had been there, all stretched out, on the top step. Doris knew it had wanted some company and that it had lain against the door, listening to the talk in the kitchen, smelling the food, being a part of things. It always wagged its tail, eyes all sleepy, when she found it there. Even after a week had gone by, Doris didn’t name the dog. She knew her parents wouldn’t let her keep it, that her father made so little money and any pets were out of the question, and that the dog would definitely go to the shelter when the weather cleared. Still, she tried talking to them about the dog at dinner one night. “She’s a good dog and not much trouble, right?” Doris said, hoping one of them would agree with her. But Mr. Lacey shook his head, “You know we can’t afford a dog, Doris. You try to act more grown-up about this.” Doris fell silent, praying the weather would never clear. 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。 However, the sun was shining the next morning. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that afternoon, Mr. Lacey came back with the same dog. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    However, the sun was shining the next morning. Doris was sitting alone in the living room trying not to cry, but she was not strong enough. Her face was wet and red, her eyes full of depression. Outside, she heard the trunk of the car slam shut, one of the doors open and close, the old engine cough and choke and finally start up. Hearing the car travel down the road, she could do nothing but cry herself to sleep, and her dreams were full of searching and searching for things lost.     Later that afternoon, Mr. Lacey came back with the same dog. Doris put her hand to her mouth. She couldn’t believe her eyes. “You didn’t take her away?” she asked. “I did,” her father answered. “The worst looking place I’ve ever seen. Ten dogs in a cage. Smell was enough to knock you down. And they give an animal six days to live. Then they kill it with some kind of a shot. I wouldn’t leave an ant in that place, so I brought the dog back.” Doris excitedly ran to her father and gave him a super big hug. What an unexpected surprise it is! 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Doris Lacey在家门口捡到一只流浪狗，父母都不同意在家里养它，但因为下雪路滑，爸爸同意小狗住在地下室。小狗在地下室很乖，Doris Lacey对它产生了感情，想要养它，但是她知道她家里的经济条件无法养它。天气好的时候，爸爸把小狗送收容所了，Doris Lacey很伤心，但没想到后来爸爸又带着小狗回来了。 【详解】1. 段落续写： 由续写第一段首句内容“然而，第二天早上阳光明媚。”可知，第一段可以描写爸爸要把小狗送走了，Doris虽然不舍但也没办法留下它，只能独自伤心。 由续写第二段首句内容“当天下午晚些时候，Lacey先生带着同一只狗回来了。”可知，第二段可以描写爸爸带小狗回来后Doris的惊喜，以及爸爸解释没把小狗留在收容所的原因。 2. 续写线索：天气转晴——Doris因无法留下小狗而努力压抑自己的情绪——爸爸开车带小狗离开——Doris终于忍不住哭了起来——爸爸带着小狗回来——爸爸解释了原因——Doris感到惊喜 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①除了做……外无能为力：could do nothing but do…/couldn’t do anything but do… ②搜寻：search for/in search of ③把……带走：take away/send away ④击倒：knock down/knock over 情绪类 ①沮丧：depression/frustration/gloom ②兴奋地：excitedly/in excitement/thrilledly 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her face was wet and red, her eyes full of depression.(使用了“名词+形容词短语”独立主格结构) 【高分句型2】Hearing the car travel down the road, she could do nothing but cry herself to sleep, and her dreams were full of searching and searching for things lost.(使用了现在分词短语作时间状语、省略不定式符号to的结构could do nothing but do和动名词作宾语) 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
