They say that nursing is one of the most noble professions out there. I think that the saying is more than true. Nurses might be the only individuals on this earth that hold back their own tears to give a smile to others. If you were asked to name history’s greatest nurses, you would almost certainly mention Florence Nightingale, who was born into a wealthy family but devoted her life to caring for those in need.
Yet while many remember her as a nurse, few recognize her as the “great genius”. Born on May 12, 1820, Florence had a once-in-a-generation mind — a genius who mastered several languages and pioneered statistical concepts still in use today. Her parents were different too. At that time, women were generally expected to stay at home, but her wealthy father attached great importance to the education of his two daughters.
On February 5, 1837, the teenage Florence declared her commitment to easing people’s suffering in this world and this was when she joined nursing. Both parents objected strongly; even her open-minded father refused to accept it. Nursing wasn’t then a respected profession. For over twelve years, Florence refused to give up, but she could not change their minds. Only when she turned thirty, her father exhausted by resistance, did he finally send her to Germany for formal nursing training.
Her defining moment came in the Crimean War. Leading 38 nurses to a British military hospital, she faced cold rejection from doctors unwilling to work with women. Yet through firm determination, her team introduced cleanliness, care, and hope — reducing the death rate dramatically. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, and that is how she earned herself the title of “the Lady with the Lamp”.
Though she passed away in 1910, her spirit lives on through International Nurses Day and the Florence Nightingale Medal, honoring caregivers worldwide long after her death.
4. Why does the author mention nursing in the first paragraph?
A. To define the profession. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To provide the background. D. To present the problems.
5. What can we learn about Florence’s early life?
A. She was raised in a progressive family. B. She displayed early talent in medical studies.
C. She received her nursing training locally. D. She followed her father’s footsteps in nursing.
6. Why was Florence known as “the Lady with the Lamp”?
A. She helped light up hospital rooms. B. She pioneered cleanliness with lights.
C. She guided people through sufferings. D. She attended to military men at night.
7. Which of the following words best describe Florence?
A. Influential and forgiving. B. Thoughtful and easygoing.
C. Determined and dedicated. D. Industrious and disciplined.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了“提灯女神”弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔的生平事迹及其对护理事业的巨大贡献。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“If you were asked to name history’s greatest nurses, you would almost certainly mention Florence Nightingale, who was born into a wealthy family but devoted her life to caring for those in need.(如果有人让你说出历史上最伟大的护士,你几乎肯定会提到弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔,她出生于富裕家庭,却毕生致力于照顾有需要的人。)”可知,作者在第一段提到护理行业是为了引出话题人物南丁格尔。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At that time, women were generally expected to stay at home, but her wealthy father attached great importance to the education of his two daughters. (在当时,女性通常被认为应该待在家里,但她富有的父亲非常重视两个女儿的教育。)”可知,南丁格尔在一个思想进步的家庭中长大。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, and that is how she earned herself the title of “the Lady with the Lamp”. (南丁格尔以提着灯在夜间巡查士兵而闻名,她也因此获得了“提灯女神”的称号。)”可知,南丁格尔被称为“提灯女神”是因为她在夜间照料军人。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“For over twelve years, Florence refused to give up, but she could not change their minds. Only when she turned thirty, her father exhausted by resistance, did he finally send her to Germany for formal nursing training.(十二年来,弗洛伦斯拒绝放弃,但她无法改变父母的想法。直到她三十岁时,父亲被她的坚持弄得筋疲力尽,才最终送她去德国接受正式的护理培训。)”以及第四段中的“Leading 38 nurses to a British military hospital, she faced cold rejection from doctors unwilling to work with women. Yet through firm determination, her team introduced cleanliness, care, and hope — reducing the death rate dramatically. (她带领38名护士前往一家英国军医院,遭到了不愿与女性合作的医生们的冷漠拒绝。然而,凭借坚定的决心,她的团队引入了清洁、关怀和希望——极大地降低了死亡率。)”可知,南丁格尔是一位意志坚定且甘于奉献的人。
C
You can almost see scientists becoming excited or annoyed whenever a new Hollywood film rolls out, riddled with scientific errors. But one astronomer voiced a suggestion — maybe it’s OK if a movie makes mistakes in the facts, as long as it gets the big picture right about science and scientists.
Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute gains his own experience on Hollywood sets. His biggest problem wasn’t with the technology from other planets. Instead, he fought for the filmmakers to stop showing the scientists as data-calculating stereotypes (刻板印象). “Real scientists don’t describe an object entering the solar system as notable for the fact that it was not moving in a normal orbit ... but moving at the speed of three times ten to the seventh meters per second,” said Shostak. “More likely, they would say that there was ‘a rock headed our way.’” Besides trying to make his fictional versions more approachable human, he emphasized the need for films to focus on conveying the scientific method rather than arguing about details.
Another scientist disagreed. Wayne Grody, a physician at UCLA, suggested that wrong description of medicine could confuse viewers. “Perhaps some people do take away more science than they should from their favorite films or television shows, although I’d like to see the court case where someone successfully charges the TV series Grey’s Anatomy with misleading them on a medical condition.”
However, Shostak’s point seems reasonable on the whole. Even medical educators have used shows to engage medical students to deal with bioethical issues. The power of big or small screen drama comes from persuasive characters that may represent brilliant doctors or scientific geniuses, but also have unusual human characteristics that allow viewers to empathize. Such stories serve the purpose of helping demystify science. After all, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov once remarked that science could become as mysterious and impossible to understand as magic. Storytellers may help shine a light into the foggy temple by creating characters that practice science.
8. What is Seth Shostak’s major concern about movie production?
A. The inaccuracy of alien technology. B. The rigid representation of scientists.
C. The insufficiency of the scientific terms. D. The misapplication of scientific methods.
9. What can be inferred from Wayne Grody’s quote?
A. Courts play a role in monitoring scientific content.
B. TV dramas are responsible for medical popularization.
C. Viewers are particular about scientific details in shows.
D. Medical errors in fictional works can do real-world harm.
10. What does the underlined word “demystify” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Advance. B. Prove. C. Illustrate. D. Complicate.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Scientific Accuracy in Films: Does It Really Matter?
B. Seth Shostak: A Scientific Consultant in Hollywood
C. The Hidden Risks of the Inaccurate Medical Dramas
D. Scientists’ Objections to Stereotypes in Some Movies
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讨论了电影中科学准确性的问题,介绍了科学家对影视中科学家形象及科学内容的不同看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute gains his own experience on Hollywood sets. His biggest problem wasn’t with the technology from other planets. Instead, he fought for the filmmakers to stop showing the scientists as data-calculating stereotypes (刻板印象).(SETI研究所的Seth Shostak在好莱坞片场有自己的经历。他最大的问题并非来自外星科技。相反,他努力争取让电影制作人停止把科学家塑造成只会计算数据的刻板形象。)”可知,Seth Shostak对电影制作的主要担忧是对科学家的刻板呈现。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Wayne Grody, a physician at UCLA, suggested that wrong description of medicine could confuse viewers. “Perhaps some people do take away more science than they should from their favorite films or television shows, although I’d like to see the court case where someone successfully charges the TV series Grey’s Anatomy with misleading them on a medical condition.”(加州大学洛杉矶分校的医生Wayne Grody提出,对医学的错误描述可能会让观众产生困惑。“也许有些人确实从他们最喜欢的电影或电视节目中吸收了过多的‘科学’内容,尽管我倒想看看有谁能在法庭上成功起诉电视剧《实习医生格蕾》在某个医学问题上误导了他们。”)”可知,Grody认为影视作品中的医学错误可能给现实世界带来危害。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Such stories serve the purpose of helping demystify science. After all, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov once remarked that science could become as mysterious and impossible to understand as magic. Storytellers may help shine a light into the foggy temple by creating characters that practice science.(这类故事有助于demystify科学。毕竟,科幻作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫曾说过,科学可能变得像魔法一样神秘而难以理解。讲故事的人可以通过创造从事科学的角色,帮助照亮这座迷雾笼罩的殿堂。)”可知,画线词“demystify”与后文“science could become as mysterious and impossible to understand as magic”形成对比,意为“使科学不再神秘、使科学易于理解”,与“Illustrate(阐明、说明)”最接近。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But one astronomer voiced a suggestion — maybe it’s OK if a movie makes mistakes in the facts, as long as it gets the big picture right about science and scientists.(但一位天文学家提出了一个建议——也许电影在事实方面犯错没关系,只要它对科学和科学家的大方向把握正确。)”以及最后一段中“Storytellers may help shine a light into the foggy temple by creating characters that practice science.(讲故事的人可以通过创造从事科学的角色,帮助照亮这座迷雾笼罩的殿堂。)”可知,全文围绕电影中科学准确性的问题展开讨论,A项“Scientific Accuracy in Films: Does It Really Matter?(电影中的科学准确性:真的重要吗?)”最能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
D
A groundbreaking Chinese study has found that using a combination of drugs before surgery can nearly double the time patients with a deadly form of liver (肝脏)cancer live without the disease returning.
The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, focused on a cancer called ICC. This cancer forms in the bile ducts (胆管)inside the liver and is known for being “silent”, often discovered only after it has reached an advanced stage. Experts say the findings may offer a new treatment option for the disease whose five-year survival rate after surgery is currently only 25 percent to 40 percent.
The researchers tested a pre-surgery plan as a first step to make a tumor (肿瘤)smaller before the main surgery. In this trial, 178 patients aged 59 on average had participated by February 2025. One group received three rounds of Gemox cancer treatment along with a drug designed to target the cancer and another drug that helps the body’s natural defense system recognize and attack cancer cells. The other group went straight to surgery without receiving the drug combination beforehand.
The results showed that the drug combination significantly delayed the return of the cancer. The typical event-free survival, meaning the length of time after treatment without the cancer coming back or having certain serious problems, was 18 months for those receiving the drug combination. In contrast, the group that went straight to surgery saw a figure of only 8.7 months. Shi Guoming, one of the lead researchers, noted the tumors in the drug-treatment group became significantly smaller, with an objective response rate of 55 percent.
China is affected by this disease more than many other countries, seeing over 50,000 new cases annually, which accounts for more than half of the global total. The study also showed a promising trend in overall survival. The 24-month survival rate for the group that got the drugs was 79 percent, compared to 61 percent for the surgery-only group.
12. What can we know about ICC?
A. It mainly develops outside the liver. B. Its early symptoms are usually hidden.
C. Its death rate remains relatively low. D. It is rarer in China than other countries.
13. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To test a supplementary treatment for ICC.
B. To identify the fundamental causes of ICC.
C. To prove the effectiveness of ICC surgeries.
D. To modify conventional ICC surgery methods.
14. How is the research conducted?
A. By establishing a database. B. By interviewing the patients.
C. By setting a control group. D. By designing medical models.
15. What aspect of the treatment is discussed in the last paragraph?
A. Its limitation. B. Its mechanism. C. Its distribution. D. Its prospect.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了中国一项突破性研究:术前联合用药能延长胆管细胞癌患者的无病生存期。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This cancer forms in the bile ducts (胆管)inside the liver and is known for being “silent”, often discovered only after it has reached an advanced stage. (这种癌症形成于肝脏内部的胆管,以“沉默”著称,通常在发展到晚期后才被发现。)”可知,ICC的早期症状通常是隐蔽的。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Experts say the findings may offer a new treatment option for the disease whose five-year survival rate after surgery is currently only 25 percent to 40 percent.(专家表示,该研究结果可能为这种目前术后五年生存率仅为25%至40%的疾病提供一种新的治疗选择。)”以及第三段中的“The researchers tested a pre-surgery plan as a first step to make a tumor (肿瘤) smaller before the main surgery. (研究人员测试了一种术前方案,作为在大手术前缩小肿瘤的第一步。)”可推知,研究人员开展这项试验是为了测试一种术前辅助的补充治疗方案,来优化ICC的治疗效果。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“ One group received three rounds of Gemox cancer treatment along with a drug designed to target the cancer and another drug that helps the body’s natural defense system recognize and attack cancer cells. The other group went straight to surgery without receiving the drug combination beforehand.(一组接受了三轮Gemox癌症治疗,同时使用了一种靶向药物和另一种帮助人体免疫系统识别并攻击癌细胞的药物。另一组则直接进行手术,事先未接受联合药物治疗。)”可知,研究人员将受试者分为两组,一组接受术前联合用药,另一组直接手术,是通过设置对照组的方式开展研究的。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The study also showed a promising trend in overall survival. The 24-month survival rate for the group that got the drugs was 79 percent, compared to 61 percent for the surgery-only group.(该研究还显示出总生存期的良好趋势。接受药物治疗组的24个月生存率为79%,而仅手术组为61%。)”可知,最后一段通过展示更优的长期生存数据,讨论了这种新治疗方案的应用前景。

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。
Before You Throw It Away
In August 2026, a Brooklyn library listed repair events where neighbours could fix belongings together. Such gatherings invite us to reconsider what we do when something breaks. The aim is not to repair everything yourself, but to question whether replacement should always be your first choice. Here are four ways to develop a repair habit.
● Look beyond the price
Replacing a broken object may seem convenient. ____16____. Making and transporting its replacement also requires materials and energy. Keeping something useful for longer can reduce that demand.
● ____17____.
At a repair event, resist just handing over your item and waiting. Ask what went wrong and watch how volunteers approach the problem. Understanding their choices prepares you for similar problems at home. Even a simple question can turn a quick repair into a useful learning experience.
● Value an unfinished repair
____18____. You may leave with an object that still needs work. Yet discovering why it failed can help you choose a stronger replacement or care for other belongings better. The knowledge gained is worth keeping, even when the object itself is not.
● Make room for conversation
While working together, people exchange more than practical advice. A neighbour who helps with a broken chair may become someone you greet next week. ____19____.
The next time something stops working, you may still reach for your phone to order another. ____20____. Before opening a shopping app, consider whether repair is possible and who could help. That small change gives both objects and skills another chance.
A. Not every item can be saved
B. An old habit needs a new response
C. Learn alongside the person helping
D. Nevertheless, it carries a hidden cost
E. Compare prices before choosing help
F. These skills could provide an extra income
G. A shared task can build lasting connections
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. A 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍布鲁克林图书馆举办邻里维修活动,给出四条建议,倡导物品损坏优先考虑维修而非直接换新。
【16题详解】
由上文“Replacing a broken object may seem convenient.(更换一个坏掉的物品可能看起来很方便。)”及下文“Making and transporting its replacement also requires materials and energy. Keeping something useful for longer can reduce that demand.(制造和运输替代品也需要材料和能源。延长有用物品的使用寿命可以减少这种需求。)”可知,上文指出更换看似方便,下文说明更换背后隐藏的资源消耗,本空应表示更换行为存在代价。D选项“Nevertheless, it carries a hidden cost(然而,它带有隐藏的成本。)”能承上启下,符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据下文“At a repair event, resist just handing over your item and waiting. Ask what went wrong and watch how volunteers approach the problem. Understanding their choices prepares you for similar problems at home. Even a simple question can turn a quick repair into a useful learning experience.(在修理活动中,不要只是递过你的物品然后等待。询问出了什么问题,并观察志愿者如何处理问题。了解他们的选择能让你为家里的类似问题做好准备。即使是一个简单的问题也能把一次快速的修理变成一次有用的学习经历。)”可知,本段主要建议在修理过程中要主动观察、提问并学习。C选项“Learn alongside the person helping(在帮助你的人的旁边学习。)”能概括本段主旨,符合语境。
【18题详解】
由下文“You may leave with an object that still needs work. Yet discovering why it failed can help you choose a stronger replacement or care for other belongings better. The knowledge gained is worth keeping, even when the object itself is not.(你离开时可能带着一个仍然需要修理的物品。然而,发现它损坏的原因可以帮助你选择更耐用的替代品或更好地保管其他物品。即使物品本身无法保留,获得的知识也值得保留。)”可知,下文提到有些物品最终未能修好,但依然有价值,本空应强调并不是所有物品都能够修好。A选项“Not every item can be saved(不是每件物品都能被拯救。)”能引出下文,符合语境。
【19题详解】
由上文“While working together, people exchange more than practical advice. A neighbour who helps with a broken chair may become someone you greet next week.(在共同工作时,人们交流的不仅仅是实用建议。一个帮你修理破椅子的邻居可能会成为你下周会打招呼的人。)”可知,上文说明共同修理能促进人际关系的建立。G选项“A shared task can build lasting connections(一项共同的任务可以建立持久的联系。)”能承接上文,进一步总结共同修理活动对人际关系的积极影响,符合语境。
【20题详解】
由上文“The next time something stops working, you may still reach for your phone to order another.(下次有东西坏了,你可能还是会拿起手机再订购一个。)”及下文“Before opening a shopping app, consider whether repair is possible and who could help. That small change gives both objects and skills another chance.(在打开购物应用之前,考虑一下是否有可能修理以及谁能帮忙。这个小改变给了物品和技能另一次机会。)”可知,上文指出人们习惯直接更换,下文建议先考虑修理,本空应表示需要对这种旧习惯做出新的回应。B选项“An old habit needs a new response(一个旧习惯需要一个新的回应。)”能承上启下,符合语境。

【导语】本文介绍了宇树科技创始人王兴兴从小对机器人产生兴趣,通过自学和实践逐步成长,最终创办公司并取得成功的经历。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:王兴兴对机器人的兴趣可以追溯到10岁时,那时他在电视上观看了麻省理工学院早期的一些机器人实验。动词conduct与其逻辑名词robot experiments之间是被动关系,应用过去分词conducted作后置定语,意为“被开展的”。
【37题详解】

考查副词。句意:他没有简单地效仿他所钦佩的公司所使用的昂贵设计,而是独立寻找更便宜的解决方案。空处修饰动名词following,应用副词simply作状语,意为“简单地”。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:XDog能够在保持价格实惠的同时有效移动。此处是状语从句的省略结构,remain与句子主语XDog之间是逻辑上的主动关系,应用现在分词形式remaining。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:毕业后,王兴兴在大疆——一家知名无人机公司——短暂工作了一段时间,之后在一位赏识他才华的早期投资者的支持下创办了宇树科技。company为可数名词,此处泛指“一家知名无人机公司”,且well-known是发音以辅音音素开头的词,应用不定冠词a。
【43题详解】

47. 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。
The moment 13-year-old Fausto saw his favorite band on TV, his eyes grew large with excitement. He knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life — to play the guitar in his own band.
Fausto decided to earn money to buy a guitar. He turned off the television, and biked north to the nicer section of Fresno in search of work. He went from door to door for three hours, only to get one job — being asked to buy a bar of bread, for which he received a dirty quarter.
While sitting in a park, a dog approached him. It was a fancy dog, with a shiny collar with his name, Roger, and address. This dog seemed to belong to rich people. An idea flashed across Fausto’s mind. He decided to take Roger home and collect a reward, saying he had found him near the freeway 15 miles away. The lie formed easily, but a small, cold knot of unease tightened unexpectedly in his stomach when walking the dog home.
He knocked and a woman in a silky blouse opened the door. “Ma’am,” Fausto said, “I found your dog by the freeway. His tag says he lives here, doesn’t he?” “That’s right!” the woman replied in a surprised and joyful voice. She then invited Fausto into the house.
Fausto looked around, amazed by the shiny furniture. “You’re probably hungry after your good deed,” the woman said, bringing Fausto milk and a warm apple pie. Fausto ate, aware of the woman’s caring eyes watching him. He felt embarrassed by lying to such a kind lady.
“That was good,” he said after he finished. “Thank you, Ma’am! Now I have to go home.” As Fausto walked to the door, the woman opened her purse and took out two bills. “For your honesty and help,” she said warmly, pressing two hundred dollars into his hand. Fausto couldn’t meet her stare, his face burning with a sudden feeling of shame deeper than mere embarrassment.
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。
With the money grasped tightly in his hand, Fausto hurried to the music shop.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Much as he wanted the guitar, Fausto headed back to the woman’s house.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With the money grasped tightly in his hand, Fausto hurried to the music shop. He stared at the beautiful guitar that he had dreamed of for a long time. His heart beat fast because he thought he could finally own it. But the shame that filled his mind would not go away. He knew that the money came from a lie, which made him feel uncomfortable. If he bought the guitar, he would always remember how he got the money. After standing there for several minutes, he made a hard decision.
Much as he wanted the guitar, Fausto headed back to the woman’s house. He told the woman the whole truth and handed back the two hundred dollars. He explained that he had found the dog near the park instead of the freeway. The woman smiled and praised him for his courage, which surprised Fausto. Though he lost the chance to buy the guitar right now, he felt light and peaceful inside. He learned that honesty is more valuable than anything he wants.

They say that nursing is one of the most noble professions out there. I think that the saying is more than true. Nurses might be the only individuals on this earth that hold back their own tears to give a smile to others. If you were asked to name history’s greatest nurses, you would almost certainly mention Florence Nightingale, who was born into a wealthy family but devoted her life to caring for those in need.
Yet while many remember her as a nurse, few recognize her as the “great genius”. Born on May 12, 1820, Florence had a once-in-a-generation mind — a genius who mastered several languages and pioneered statistical concepts still in use today. Her parents were different too. At that time, women were generally expected to stay at home, but her wealthy father attached great importance to the education of his two daughters.
On February 5, 1837, the teenage Florence declared her commitment to easing people’s suffering in this world and this was when she joined nursing. Both parents objected strongly; even her open-minded father refused to accept it. Nursing wasn’t then a respected profession. For over twelve years, Florence refused to give up, but she could not change their minds. Only when she turned thirty, her father exhausted by resistance, did he finally send her to Germany for formal nursing training.
Her defining moment came in the Crimean War. Leading 38 nurses to a British military hospital, she faced cold rejection from doctors unwilling to work with women. Yet through firm determination, her team introduced cleanliness, care, and hope — reducing the death rate dramatically. Nightingale was known for carrying a lamp and checking on the soldiers at night, and that is how she earned herself the title of “the Lady with the Lamp”.
Though she passed away in 1910, her spirit lives on through International Nurses Day and the Florence Nightingale Medal, honoring caregivers worldwide long after her death.
4. Why does the author mention nursing in the first paragraph?
A. To define the profession. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To provide the background. D. To present the problems.
5. What can we learn about Florence’s early life?
A. She was raised in a progressive family. B. She displayed early talent in medical studies.
C. She received her nursing training locally. D. She followed her father’s footsteps in nursing.
6. Why was Florence known as “the Lady with the Lamp”?
A. She helped light up hospital rooms. B. She pioneered cleanliness with lights.
C. She guided people through sufferings. D. She attended to military men at night.
7. Which of the following words best describe Florence?
A. Influential and forgiving. B. Thoughtful and easygoing.
C. Determined and dedicated. D. Industrious and disciplined.
C
You can almost see scientists becoming excited or annoyed whenever a new Hollywood film rolls out, riddled with scientific errors. But one astronomer voiced a suggestion — maybe it’s OK if a movie makes mistakes in the facts, as long as it gets the big picture right about science and scientists.
Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute gains his own experience on Hollywood sets. His biggest problem wasn’t with the technology from other planets. Instead, he fought for the filmmakers to stop showing the scientists as data-calculating stereotypes (刻板印象). “Real scientists don’t describe an object entering the solar system as notable for the fact that it was not moving in a normal orbit ... but moving at the speed of three times ten to the seventh meters per second,” said Shostak. “More likely, they would say that there was ‘a rock headed our way.’” Besides trying to make his fictional versions more approachable human, he emphasized the need for films to focus on conveying the scientific method rather than arguing about details.
Another scientist disagreed. Wayne Grody, a physician at UCLA, suggested that wrong description of medicine could confuse viewers. “Perhaps some people do take away more science than they should from their favorite films or television shows, although I’d like to see the court case where someone successfully charges the TV series Grey’s Anatomy with misleading them on a medical condition.”
However, Shostak’s point seems reasonable on the whole. Even medical educators have used shows to engage medical students to deal with bioethical issues. The power of big or small screen drama comes from persuasive characters that may represent brilliant doctors or scientific geniuses, but also have unusual human characteristics that allow viewers to empathize. Such stories serve the purpose of helping demystify science. After all, science fiction writer Isaac Asimov once remarked that science could become as mysterious and impossible to understand as magic. Storytellers may help shine a light into the foggy temple by creating characters that practice science.
8. What is Seth Shostak’s major concern about movie production?
A. The inaccuracy of alien technology. B. The rigid representation of scientists.
C. The insufficiency of the scientific terms. D. The misapplication of scientific methods.
9. What can be inferred from Wayne Grody’s quote?
A. Courts play a role in monitoring scientific content.
B. TV dramas are responsible for medical popularization.
C. Viewers are particular about scientific details in shows.
D. Medical errors in fictional works can do real-world harm.
10. What does the underlined word “demystify” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Advance. B. Prove. C. Illustrate. D. Complicate.
11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Scientific Accuracy in Films: Does It Really Matter?
B. Seth Shostak: A Scientific Consultant in Hollywood
C. The Hidden Risks of the Inaccurate Medical Dramas
D. Scientists’ Objections to Stereotypes in Some Movies
D
A groundbreaking Chinese study has found that using a combination of drugs before surgery can nearly double the time patients with a deadly form of liver (肝脏)cancer live without the disease returning.
The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, focused on a cancer called ICC. This cancer forms in the bile ducts (胆管)inside the liver and is known for being “silent”, often discovered only after it has reached an advanced stage. Experts say the findings may offer a new treatment option for the disease whose five-year survival rate after surgery is currently only 25 percent to 40 percent.
The researchers tested a pre-surgery plan as a first step to make a tumor (肿瘤)smaller before the main surgery. In this trial, 178 patients aged 59 on average had participated by February 2025. One group received three rounds of Gemox cancer treatment along with a drug designed to target the cancer and another drug that helps the body’s natural defense system recognize and attack cancer cells. The other group went straight to surgery without receiving the drug combination beforehand.
The results showed that the drug combination significantly delayed the return of the cancer. The typical event-free survival, meaning the length of time after treatment without the cancer coming back or having certain serious problems, was 18 months for those receiving the drug combination. In contrast, the group that went straight to surgery saw a figure of only 8.7 months. Shi Guoming, one of the lead researchers, noted the tumors in the drug-treatment group became significantly smaller, with an objective response rate of 55 percent.
China is affected by this disease more than many other countries, seeing over 50,000 new cases annually, which accounts for more than half of the global total. The study also showed a promising trend in overall survival. The 24-month survival rate for the group that got the drugs was 79 percent, compared to 61 percent for the surgery-only group.
12. What can we know about ICC?
A. It mainly develops outside the liver. B. Its early symptoms are usually hidden.
C. Its death rate remains relatively low. D. It is rarer in China than other countries.
13. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To test a supplementary treatment for ICC.
B. To identify the fundamental causes of ICC.
C. To prove the effectiveness of ICC surgeries.
D. To modify conventional ICC surgery methods.
14. How is the research conducted?
A. By establishing a database. B. By interviewing the patients.
C. By setting a control group. D. By designing medical models.
15. What aspect of the treatment is discussed in the last paragraph?

Before You Throw It Away
In August 2026, a Brooklyn library listed repair events where neighbours could fix belongings together. Such gatherings invite us to reconsider what we do when something breaks. The aim is not to repair everything yourself, but to question whether replacement should always be your first choice. Here are four ways to develop a repair habit.
● Look beyond the price
Replacing a broken object may seem convenient. ____16____. Making and transporting its replacement also requires materials and energy. Keeping something useful for longer can reduce that demand.
● ____17____.
At a repair event, resist just handing over your item and waiting. Ask what went wrong and watch how volunteers approach the problem. Understanding their choices prepares you for similar problems at home. Even a simple question can turn a quick repair into a useful learning experience.
● Value an unfinished repair
____18____. You may leave with an object that still needs work. Yet discovering why it failed can help you choose a stronger replacement or care for other belongings better. The knowledge gained is worth keeping, even when the object itself is not.
● Make room for conversation
While working together, people exchange more than practical advice. A neighbour who helps with a broken chair may become someone you greet next week. ____19____.
The next time something stops working, you may still reach for your phone to order another. ____20____. Before opening a shopping app, consider whether repair is possible and who could help. That small change gives both objects and skills another chance.
A. Not every item can be saved
B. An old habit needs a new response
C. Learn alongside the person helping
D. Nevertheless, it carries a hidden cost
E. Compare prices before choosing help
F. These skills could provide an extra income
G. A shared task can build lasting connections

47. 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。
The moment 13-year-old Fausto saw his favorite band on TV, his eyes grew large with excitement. He knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life — to play the guitar in his own band.
Fausto decided to earn money to buy a guitar. He turned off the television, and biked north to the nicer section of Fresno in search of work. He went from door to door for three hours, only to get one job — being asked to buy a bar of bread, for which he received a dirty quarter.
While sitting in a park, a dog approached him. It was a fancy dog, with a shiny collar with his name, Roger, and address. This dog seemed to belong to rich people. An idea flashed across Fausto’s mind. He decided to take Roger home and collect a reward, saying he had found him near the freeway 15 miles away. The lie formed easily, but a small, cold knot of unease tightened unexpectedly in his stomach when walking the dog home.
He knocked and a woman in a silky blouse opened the door. “Ma’am,” Fausto said, “I found your dog by the freeway. His tag says he lives here, doesn’t he?” “That’s right!” the woman replied in a surprised and joyful voice. She then invited Fausto into the house.
Fausto looked around, amazed by the shiny furniture. “You’re probably hungry after your good deed,” the woman said, bringing Fausto milk and a warm apple pie. Fausto ate, aware of the woman’s caring eyes watching him. He felt embarrassed by lying to such a kind lady.
“That was good,” he said after he finished. “Thank you, Ma’am! Now I have to go home.” As Fausto walked to the door, the woman opened her purse and took out two bills. “For your honesty and help,” she said warmly, pressing two hundred dollars into his hand. Fausto couldn’t meet her stare, his face burning with a sudden feeling of shame deeper than mere embarrassment.
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。
With the money grasped tightly in his hand, Fausto hurried to the music shop.

Much as he wanted the guitar, Fausto headed back to the woman’s house.
