Unraveling(阐释)the Power of Silk A natural material with extraordinary biological properties,silk has long transcended its role as a luxury fabric to become a hidden gem in medical applications. With strength that rivals steel and unique compatibility with the human body,silk is an ideal material for (1) trom wound closure to drug delivery.Today, scientists are still taking advantage of silk's abilities,positioning the ancient fiber(2) (play)a role in modern medicine as a multipurpose biomedical material. The story of silk begins in China.According to ancient Chinese lore,the wife of the Yellow Emperor was sipping hot tea under a tree (3)the cocoon (of a silkworm fell into her cup.The hot liquid dissolved the cocoon's sticky coating,(4) (cause)the cocoon to unravel into a strand of silk.Soon after,the woman began breeding silkworms and weaving their silk strands together,fashioning(5) were said to be the world's first silk fabrics. Beyond its origin as a luxury textile,silk has served a protective role for centuries-ancient Greeks and Romans used both spider silk as bandages and silkworm silk as sufure(缝合)material(6) its strength and slow breakdown in the body. Silk's strength has made clean silk sutures popular in modern times,too.Known for their knot security and smooth passage through tissue,they're especially useful in neurological and cardiovascular procedures,(7)fine quality and precision are critical. Silk still serves its original purpose after (8) (transform)into a biomaterial,protecting the body without bothering the immune system."Silk is pretty boring,and I mean that in a good way,"Kaplan says."That's what makes it so special." Once inside the body,the silk fibroin is inoffensive.There's no immune reaction to it, and it stays harmless as it degrades. Bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science,silk (9) (sew)into the history of medicine.A blend of consistency,compatibility, and versatility,it reminds us to explore modern solutions (10) (weave) within the threads of the past. Section B Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need. 语周练9本养共11而笛1而 A.bloom B.bounce C.cornerstone D.dynamic E.disciplined F.diversification G.over-concentrating H.parallels I.rhythms J.seasoned K.tempting My childhood was shaped by planting and harvesting seasons,weather patterns, and the patient work of nurturing growth from the ground up.Growing up as a farm kid,I learned early on that the 11 of nature are powerful teachers. Nature,with its complicated systems and timeless cycles,offers a blueprint for building wealth that can be both resilient and aligned with our deepest values.By remaining open to the abundant wisdom nature places at our feet,these 12 can help you invest with confidence and purpose. In nature,a single tree might release thousands of seeds,knowing only a few will take root and grow.This isn't wasteful,it's strategic.In investing,13 works similarly:by spreading your investments across different assets,industries,and regions,you can help increase the odds that some will flourish even if there are times when others don't. Despite my best wishes,my garden doesn't 14 overnight.Successful investing requires the same patience and a longer-term perspective.In nature,seeds take time to sprout.Trees may grow for years before bearing fruit!Similarly, sometimes the most rewarding investment outcomes are realized by those who stay the course and stick to a(n)15,long-term investment strategy through both sunny and stormy market conditions. It can be 16 k to react to short-term market swings or chase the latest trends, but history shows that a patient,long-term approach can help investors navigate volatility (more effectively.By giving your investments time to grow and avoiding the urge to constantly make small changes to your portfolio(投资组合)，you allow the power of compounding and steady growth to work in your favor.Patience is a(n)17 of successful investing.Allow your portfolio the time it needs to grow, and you'll be better positioned to enjoy the fruit. Nature is full of surprises-sudden storms,droughts,and fires.Yet,ecosystems are designed to 18 back.In investing,market downturns,economic shocks, and unexpected events are inevitable.Building a margin of safety into your plan(such as maintaining emergency savings,having adequate insurance coverage,and not 19 in any one investment)can help you prepare for whatever comes your way. Some natural systems don't just survive shocks,they actually get stronger because of them.Think of forests that regenerate after a fire.Similarly,20 investors can use market volatility to their advantage through strategies like tax loss harvesting and strategic rebalancing.

B.C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) While I was waiting to enter university,I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful,I applied,fearing as I did so,that without a degree and with no experience in teaching,my chances of getting the job were slim. However,three days later a letter arrived,asking me to go to Croydon for an interview.It proved an awkward journey:a train to Croydon station;a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile.As a result,I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous. The school was a red brick house with big windows.The front garden was a gravel square;four evergreen bushes stood at each corner,where they struggled to survive the dust and fumes from a busy main road. It was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door.He looked at me with an air of surprised disapproval,as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone."You'd better sit down,"he said,and proceeded to ask me a number of questions:what subjects I had taken in my General School Certificate;how old I was; what games I played;then fixing me suddenly with his bloodshot eyes,he asked me whether I thought games were a vital part of a boy's education.I said something quietly and unclearly about not attaching too much importance to them.He grunted (发出哼声).I had said the wrong thing..The headmaster and I obviously had very 英语周练9本卷共川页第4页 little in common. The school,he said,consisted of one class of twenty-four boys,ranging in age from seven to thirteen.I should have to teach all subjects except art,which he taught himself.Football and cricket were played in the Park,a mile away on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The teaching set-up appalled me.I should have to split the class up into three groups and reach them in tumn at three different levels;and I was upset at the thought of teaching algebra and geometry-two subjects at which I had been completely incompetent at school.Worse perhaps was the idea of Saturday afternoon cricket; most of my friends would be enjoying leisure at that time. I said shyly,"What would my salary be?""Twelve pounds a week plus lunch." Before I could protest he got to his feet."Now,"he said,"you'd better meet my wife. She's the one who really runs this school." This was the last straw.I was very young:the prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity. 36.The underlined clause "as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone" A.shows the author's respect for military discipline B.emphasizes the headmaster's strict military background C.explains why the author felt nervous during the intervicw D.illustrates the headmaster's authoritative and critical attitude 37.The underlined word"appalled"in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to A.shocked B.delighted C.frustrated D.motivated 38.Which of the following statements can be concluded from the passage? A.Art was the most important subject for the students. B.It was well-equipped with modern teaching facilities. C.Students spent most of their afternoons playing sports in the park. D.The headmaster laid much emphasis on games in a boy's education. 39.What does the passage imply by mentioning"the last straw"? A.The headmaster's wife was stricter and more unbearable. B.The author held somewhat biased views on gender roles. C.Being young afforded the author the courage to refuse the job. D.The author valued personal dignity more than career development.

(C) Academics at the MIT Media Lab,a research laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,tracked students who relied on large language models(LLMs) to help to write essays.They used EEG scans,which measure electrical activity in the brain,to monitor 54 students in three groups over multiple essay-writing sessions:one that used ChatGPT,one that used Google,and one that relied on no external help. The researchers concluded that the use of LLM had a measurable impact on participants,and while the benefits were initially apparent,the LLM group's participants performed worse than their counterparts in the brain-only group at all levels:neural,linguistic,scoring." The EEG showed that the more help students had from Al,the less their brains worked.People using ChatGPT struggled to remember or quote from the essays they had just written and reported feeling little ownership of their work.By comparison, the essays written by the "brain-only"writers were more original and their brains more active,according to the study.When people went from using ChatGPT to writing without it,their brains were still less active.But those who went from brain-only to AI showed an increase-probably because they were trying to combine what they already knew with the new tool. The MIT researchers added:"The LLM undeniably reduced the friction involved 英语周练9本卷共11页第7页 in answering participants'questions compared to the search engine.However,this convenience came at a cognitive cost,diminishing users'inclination to critically evaluate the LLM's output or 'opinions'(probable answers based on the training datasets). "This highlights a concerning evolution of the 'echo chamber'effect:rather than disappearing,it has adapted to shape user exposure through algorithmically curated content.What is ranked as 'top'is ultimately influenced by the priorities of the LLM's shareholders."Teachers were also able to detect the AI-generated essays as they recognised“he conventional structure and homogeneity(同质化)”of the content.. There's no suggestion here that LLM usage caused lasting 'brain damage'or equivalent"but it "suggests that AI could potentially foster a kind of 'laziness',at least within specific tasks and workflows".Researchers added:"We'd really caution about drawing sweeping conclusions about the benefits or risks of AI in education from this study.Current data is conflicted,ranging from the very good to fairly negative,but it seems like it really matters how Al is used." Shevlin cited another much larger study of LLMs in Nigerian schools,which found large improvements to students'learning,when used as "a tutor,not a crutch (拐杖)”.This reflects my own experience一it's one thing to use AI as a personalised foreign language tutor,for example,and another to get it to do your homework,”he said. 43.Which of the following statements is true based on the EEG results? A.Using AI tools may hurt one's ability to think,learn and remember. B.The "brain-only"group had less brain activity when recalling their essays. C.The ChatGPT group showed more stable brain activity during essay writing D.The ChatGPT group's brain activity increased when switching to no external help. 44.Why does the author most likely mention "this convenience"in the passage? A.To applaud LLMs for streamlining the learning process. B.To caution readers about the improper answers of LLMs C.To contrast the advantages of LLMs with those of search engines. D.To pay the way for discussing the appropriate use of LLMs. 45.The passage implies that the evolution of the"echo chamber effect"is concerning because_ A.it makes critical evaluation of LLMs'outputs more challenging. B.it increases the homogeneity of AI-generated content. C.it limits users'access to diverse information. D.it strengthens the influence of LLM shareholders. 46.The primary purpose of this passage is to A.present a definitive case against the integration of AI in educational settings. B.discuss research findings on AI's impacts and emphasize contextual usage. C.analyze the neural mechanisms behind cognitive decline from AI overuse. 英语周练9本卷共11页第8页 D.promote the "AI-as-tutor"model as the only viable educational application. Section C Directions:Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box.Each sentence can only be used once.Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. Plus,social media contributes to the environment of curated interactions. B. Telephobia is an intense fear or discomfort of phone calls. C. Exploring and understanding the root of the fear is a helpful starting position. D. Moreover,social media's focus on instant feedback makes people less tolerant of phone calls E. In some places,there are already steps to tackle the issue of telephobia in young people. F However,phone calls are believed to convey emotions more accurately than other forms of communication. Telephobia While picking up the phone when it rings may feel like a natural reaction,for many young people,answering a call has become an anxiety-inducing experience. Instead of calling,younger generations are relying on texts,voice notes,and social media to communicate,avoiding the spontaneity of real-time conversation,causing more and more people to be scared of making a phone call.The phenomenon even has a name-telephobia. Stephanie Wijkstrom,CEO and Founder of the Counseling and Wellness Center of Pittsburgh,told Newsweek:"47. Those who experience it often exhibit anxiety,avoidance behaviors,and sometimes physical symptoms such as an elevated heart rate or perspiration when anticipating a phone call." In a 2024 Uswitch survey of 2,000 U.K.adults,nearly 70 percent of those aged 18-34 preferred texting over talking,with 23 percent admitting they never answer calls at all.The reluctance to pick up the phone is often linked to avoiding scam calls, but social factors also play a role. Wijkstrom explained:"In our digital age,texting and online messaging serve as our primary modes of communication,and we often feel less vulnerable and more comfortable than in a live conversation or phone call.48. As a result,phone calls,with their spontaneity,are perceived as overwhelming 49. Nottingham College in the U.K.has started running sessions to help students build their confidence on the phone.Its Five Steps to Telephone Confidence'session was developed after career advisors noticed students struggling with phone interviews.Liz Baxter,a careers advisor at the college,told Newsweek:"It is increasingly difficult to make calls these days.Companies use virtual assistants,AI,and often direct customers to websites.Teenagers find it easier to text or leave voice notes,meaning they have fewer experiences with real-time conversation and response formulation." Thankfully,beating telephobia is possible.Wijkstrom said:"With patience and intentional practice,telephobia can be overcome.50. 英语周练9本卷共11页第9页 Individuals can also slowly increase their exposure to phone calls in a low-pressure situation to desensitize an anxious response.Deep breathing before a call is one method to practice mindfulness,which can help regulate the nerves and reduce stress.” IV.Summary Writing Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. Do Weird(古怪的)People Make Better Artists? In one published experiment(there was a whole series of them),the participants were shown one of two pictures of an imaginary artist called Stefansson.One was an ordinary-looking male in his twenties,while the other was a man of the same age who "had long hair"and"had not shaved for several days." The results were interesting:The people who were shown the untidy Stefansson liked his wild,unconventional art more than those who were shown the clean-shaven, suit-wearing Stefansson.The researchers say this preference is due to our desire for "sincerity"in an artist.What they mean by "sincerity"is that an artist's style and appearance should go together. It sounds like a noble idea,but in fact,a huge body of great art,literature,and music was created by artists who did not look weird.Are we supposed to label these works boring and insincere?If so,we would miss an awful lot of classic works,like Bach's musical compositions and Shakespeare's poems. We are too much in love with the unconventional forms of art and the unconventional types that produce them.It is a strange sort of blindness to the fact that a lot of good art has been produced by people who were models of conventionality.Wesley Kant.a leading figure of abstract art,and Eric Cooper, pioneer of musical modernism,both dressed like bankers.Larry White,one of the founders of literary modernism,set out to look perfectly colorless in his suit and hat, just so he could fade into the background.It is the gap betwcen their boring appearance and their wild inner world that makes these creators so attractive. So as we explore the vast landscape of artistic expression,let us not be blinded by the charm of the weird. 51 V.Translation Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets 52.班规的制定应遵循少数服从多数的原则。(submit) 53.小区突发停电，居民们拿出了仅有的几支蜡烛和于电筒分享给邻居。(what few) 54.这次校园艺术节办得不尽如人意，似乎更应归咎于组委会的规划不当，而非 英语周练9本卷共11页第10页 资金不足。(blame) 55.无论是机动车驾驶员、行人，还是外卖骑手，都应遵守交通规则、不闯红灯， 这一点的重要性，再怎么强调也不为过。(which) VI.Guided Writing Directions:Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是明启中学学生李华，你校计划举办“文化传承与创新”主题活动，拟从 以下活动中选择其一，现向全体学生征求意见。请你给校长写封信，内容需包括： 1)你的选择： 2)你的理由。 活动形式 时间和地点 活动内容 传统手工艺作坊 *12月26日（周五） *专业人士指导： (Traditional Handicraft 18:30—20:30 学生现场制作。 Workshop) *506教室 文创作品集市 *12月27日 (周六) *展示自创文化作品： (Creative Cultural Works 9:00-15:00 *选购各类心仪作品。 Market) 校园文化广场 文化名人讲座 *12月31日（周三) *专家主题讲座： (Lectures by Cultural 13:30-16:00 *互动交流。 Figures) 学校图书馆 华二2026届高三英语周练9 参考答案 1.everything/anything/something 2.to play 3.when 4.causing 5.what 6.thanks to/due to/because of/owing to 7.where 8.being transformed 9.has been /is sewn/sewed 10.woven 11-20 IHFAE:KCBGJ 21-35 DABAB;CCABD;BADCD 36-39 DADB 40-42ABD 43-46 ADCB 47-50 BAEC Summary Experiment reveals that people prefer unconventional artworks by weird-looking artists to those by ordinary-looking artists.Researchers explain that people admire"sincerity",supposing artists' style should align with appearance.However,conventional figures can also create excellent artworks,as it's their contrast between ordinary appearance and imaginative spiritual world that matters.Therefore,when appreciating artistic expressions,don't be blinded by weirdness.
