B Chen Zhu, a Chinese hematologist (血液学家), received the 2026 Shaw Prize in Life Science and Medicine on May 27. For him, true achievements don’t come from seeking awards. His drive comes from somewhere deeper. Born in Jiangsu in 1953, he lived a tough life and began learning medicine on his own as a young man, later becoming a village doctor. His deep wish to help others pushed him to receive formal medical training. Later, he went to France for further research, where he deepened his knowledge of medical science. Chen Zhu’s greatest contribution is in the fight against acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a deadly blood cancer in the past most APL patients died within weeks. The standard treatment often harmed healthy parts along with cancerous ones, leaving patients too weak to survive. As a result, the five-year survival rate was only between 35% and 45%. Inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, which uses a dangerous material called arsenic (砷) to treat certain diseases, Chen Zhu and his team developed a targeted treatment. They combined (结合) arsenic with a Western drug. The result was amazing: the new treatment could cure over 90% of APL patients. “Chinese and Western medicine are not enemies,” Chen says. “They can learn from each other.” Some experts doubted his idea at first, but Chen stood his ground. “It takes time and courage,” he explains. “You have to believe in what you do.” Over time, more scientists came to support him, and the treatment — now called the “Shanghai Program” — has been applied in hospitals across the world. When receiving the Shaw Prize, he said, “This honor belongs to every researcher who believes in saving lives above all else.” From Tu Youyou’s artemisinin to Chen Zhu’s APL cure, Chinese scientists have once again shown the world the power of bringing together tradition with new ideas. 24. What mainly drove Chen Zhu to achieve success in medicine? A. Desire to help those who suffer. B. Pressure from his early difficult life. C. Encouragement of the French research team. D. The hope of winning international recognition. 25. What was the problem with past APL treatment? A. It was too painful for most patients. B. Patients died too quickly after treatment. C. It had a success rate of only 35% to 45%. D. It hurt healthy parts while killing cancer. 26. How did Chen Zhu develop the new APL treatment? A. By integrating arsenic with a Western medicine. B. By comparing Western drugs with Chinese medicine. C. By further developing medical technology in France. D. By inventing a new drug out of traditional materials. 27. What does the underlined phrase “stood his ground” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Referred to experts actively. B. Stuck to his opinion firmly. C. Took in others’ idea wisely. D. Admitted his limitation bravely. C Plastics are amazing materials which are widely used in our daily lives. Besides, they’re often cheap to make. About 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic have been produced to date. That’s about 1,400 times the weight of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Some of that plastic is still in use. But about 5.8 billion metric tons have been thrown away. All that plastic waste is an environmental threat. Only about 9 percent of plastic waste has been recycled. Another 12 percent has been burned. The remaining 79 percent ended up in landfills or in nature, which, like the Lego block, takes a long time to decompose (降解). Plastic litters the world from the highest mountaintop to the deepest seafloor. Many animals might regard this rubbish as food. If they get full, these animals may forget to eat real food and suffer. Plastic rubbish in the oceans also leaves birds, turtles and other wildlife in a jam. Big pieces of plastic aren’t the only problem. Abandoned plastic can break into tiny bits called microplastics. Winds blow these bits far and wide. Ocean waves can spread them through the sea. They build up inside animals and also get into our food and drinking water. Each American is likely to consume (摄入/吞食) more than 70,000 microplastic pieces per year. Right now, no one knows what risk that might bring. Scientists have some ideas about how to clean up this mess. The Ocean Cleanup is developing cleanup systems to fish out plastic pieces from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. And new technology could help microplastics decompose in the environment. But as far as I know, many of these plans are still far from effective so far. The best way to help Earth right now is to stop buying so much plastic — and then throwing it out — in the first place. 28. What does the Lego block show about plastic waste? A. It is hard to break down. B. Little of it has been burned. C. It is easy to be recycled. D. Most of it ends up in landfills. 29. How might the plastic rubbish influence animals? A. By making them suffer from hunger. B. By reducing their food. C. By piling up in their homes. D. By changing the environment. 30. What is the author’s attitude to the present methods of cleaning plastic waste? A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable. 31. Why does the author write the text? A. To criticize plastic production. B. To suggest ways to deal with environmental issues. C. To call on people to protect the environment. D. To introduce the present situation of plastic pollution. D When you look at a famous painting like Van Gogh’s Starry Night, do you truly understand it? Or do you simply feel it looks beautiful? According to a recent scientific study, learning about art does more than just help you appreciate it — it actually makes you more creative and inspires new thinking. In the study, researchers divided 150 subjects into three groups. The audiovisual (视听的) group watched a 22-minute video that showed artworks while providing verbal (口头的) explanations. The visual-only group watched a 9-minute video with only simple visual descriptions and no spoken explanation. The control group received no training at all. After the training, all subjects were asked to rate a series of artworks — some they had seen during training and some completely new. The results were striking. Subjects who received the full audiovisual training gave remarkably higher ratings for understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation than those in the other groups. They felt they truly “got” the art, and the experience inspired new ideas. Even more interestingly, the benefits of training went beyond the specific artworks studied — a situation known as the generalisation effect, which refers to the spread of learned knowledge to new but related items. When shown new paintings by the same artist, the audiovisual group still showed higher levels of understanding and inspiration. However, this effect did not carry over to artworks by different artists, suggesting that art knowledge is most powerful when applied within a familiar style. “These findings highlight how art knowledge training can promote art understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation,” the researchers wrote. They argue that schools should take note: art education is not just about producing future artists. It is a tool for developing creative thinking that benefits all students, despite their different career paths. In an age when many schools are cutting arts spending, this study offers a powerful reminder. Learning about art is an investment (投资) in how young people think, create and understand the world. 32. Why was Van Gogh’s Starry Night mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To question a common belief. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To compare two ways of appreciating art. D. To highlight the beauty of masterpieces. 33. What did the audiovisual training bring to subjects? A. Greater interest in art history. B. Stronger preference for familiar artworks. C. Higher ratings on creativity. D. Better ability to judge painting techniques. 34. What does the study say about the generalisation effect? A. It applies to all artworks equally. B. It requires long-term art training. C. It is limited to the specific artworks. D. It works for new paintings by the same artist. 35. Why does the author stress art education? A. It improves students’ way of thinking. B. It trains more professional artists. C. It enriches students’ culture knowledge. D. It helps students get fixed jobs. 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。 The Power of Starting Small Why is it that we often set big goals but end up giving up halfway? As a high school student, you may have experienced this with study plans or personal projects. The problem is not a lack of motivation; it’s that we tend to aim too high too soon. 36 Here’s a simple truth: small, consistent steps lead to remarkable results. 37 For example, if you want to improve your vocabulary, memorizing just five words a day adds up to over 1,800 words in a year. That’s the power of accumulation. To put this into practice, start by picking one tiny habit. Make it so easy that you can’t say no. 38 If your goal is to exercise more, commit to just five minutes a day. This low barrier makes it easier to begin. Another key is to track your progress. There’s something motivating about seeing a chain of successes. 39 You could use a simple checklist or a calendar. Each tick reinforces your commitment. Finally, don’t underestimate the importance of celebrating small wins. Give yourself credit for showing up. 40 It helps you associate the habit with positive feelings, making you more likely to stick with it. Remember, you don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great. Embrace the power of small beginnings. A. This approach transforms a vague intention into a concrete action. B. As a result, we often feel overwhelmed and quit. C. It’s a visual reminder of how far you’ve come. D. That sense of accomplishment, however tiny, fuels your motivation. E. Before you know it, these small efforts grow into something significant. F. The key is to keep the initial commitment extremely modest. G. They might seem insignificant at first glance. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分25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。 One weekend, my kids and I were heading into the supermarket.
