(本题7.5分)Top Three Films for Medical Professionals
This list of films is specifically tailored for doctors and medical students. Whether you’re looking for motivation, a reflection of your own experiences, or simply a cinematic journey through the world of medicine, these films are a must-watch.
Patch Adams
This film, whose key advantage is an adaptation from a real story, tells the biography of Hunter “Patch” Adams, a doctor who believes in treating patients with humour and sympathy, highlighting the importance of human connection in medicine. The real Patch Adams was involved in the film’s production, and Robin Williams’ performance was inspired by Adams’ own personality and methods.
Something the Lord Made
This HBO film tells the partnership between Dr. Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas, who cooperated to develop pioneering and innovative heart surgery techniques, stressing the often ignored contributions of African American medical professionals like them. Despite its common plot, the film was based on an article in the Washingtonian magazine, and it received widespread praise for its presentation of medical history, making people forget the passage of time.
Wit
A professor of English literature with terminal (晚期的) cancer reflects on her life and treatment, offering a profound exploration of the human condition and the impersonal nature of modern medicine. Emma Thompson won an Emmy for her role as Vivian Bearing, delivering a deeply moving performance.
21.(2.5分)What is a main strength of Patch Adams?
A.It is based on a real experience. B.It is filled with humorous plots.
C.It is performed by a famous actor. D.It is focused on human connection.
22.(2.5分)How do people like Something the Lord Made?
A.Well-plotted. B.Well-presented. C.Poorly-made. D.Poorly-timed.
23.(2.5分)What problem of modern medicine does Wit note?
A.Shortage of humanity. B.Exposure of privacy.
C.Overemphasis on skills. D.Suspension in treatment.
(本题10分)In 2024, Chinese doctor Wang Zhenyi, turning 100, was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor, for his battle against leukemia (白血病). Over decades, he transformed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a deadly disease, into one that can be cured.
In the mid-20th century, he saw about 60 APL patients die in a single year, which strengthened his determination to defeat leukemia. “As a doctor, it pains me most to see a patient suffering when there is nothing I can do,” he said.
Wang spent nearly all his free time in libraries and labs, doing research. After years of tireless work, an element called all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) came into the picture as a hopeful cure for APL.
In 1986, a five-year-old girl who was found to have APL was expected to die quickly. Wang used ATRA on her. Seven days later, her symptoms improved significantly; a month later, she fully recovered. That year, 24 APL patients were treated, and 23 of them got better without needing chemotherapy (化疗).
However, some patients later got sick again. To solve this, Wang added arsenic trioxide (ATO), a poisonous chemical. At first, the use of the poisonous compound was met with much doubt. However, it proved effective. With the new ATRA-ATO combination therapy (疗法), the survival rate for APL rose from 10 percent to more than 97 percent.
Wang refused to patent (申请专利) the therapy. “A doctor should put patients’ well-being first,” he said. Today, a box of 10 ATRA pills costs just 300 yuan in China.
Honored with national awards, Wang stayed modest. He said, “I achieved only one thing—being responsible for my patients.”
24.(2.5分)What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A.APL made patients die without suffering.
B.Wang won the medal for his contributions.
C.APL was a mild disease before Wang’s research.
D.The medal strengthened Wang’s determination.
25.(2.5分)What improved the survival rate of leukemia patients?
A.The combination of ATRA and ATO.
B.The treatment of the five-year-old girl.
C.The discovery of some poisonous chemicals.
D.The improvement in chemotherapy techniques.
26.(2.5分)Which of the following would Wang most agree with?
A.Personal income defines a doctor’s worth.
B.Patients’ well-being must always come first.
C.Professional recognition should be the final goal.
D.Established treatments should never be challenged.
27.(2.5分)What can we learn from Wang’s story?
A.Great minds think alike.
B.Every cloud has a silver lining.
C.One good turn deserves another.
D.Where there is a will, there is a way.
(本题10分)Most people enjoy variety. We like to eat different foods from meal to meal. We wear different clothes. We become bored when there is little variety. However, there’s one place where we tend to dislike variety, and that’s in each other. We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share.
There are reasons for this. When we meet new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When we’re learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant. And it can feel worse if our nervous system is already under pressure.
This sort of variation may be uncomfortable for individuals, but it’s important to the survival of any species. If all finches (雀科鸣鸟) were the same, for example, and their environment changed in some significant, harmful ways, like an increase in the temperature or a decrease in water, all of them would be equally affected and the species might become extinct. This insight (洞察力) into variation comes from Charles Darwin, and it’s known as population thinking. The idea of “survival of the fittest” shows that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation is therefore a requisite for natural selection to work.
Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding, but it’s a good investment (投资), sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who is different from you, treat your discomfort as a signal to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Don’t hold that the other person should be silenced. Finally, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations.
28.(2.5分)Which of the following might make people feel uncomfortable?
A.Socializing with people from different cultures.
B.Sharing travelling experiences with others.
C.Taking a trip to a foreign country.
D.Having an adventure in the wild.
29.(2.5分)Why can new and different things make people feel unsettling and unpleasant?
A.They require more physical efforts.
B.They need more resources for nerve cells.
C.They are often harmful to people’s health.
D.They put pressure on people’s nervous system.
30.(2.5分)Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “requisite” in Paragraph 3?
A.Replacement. B.Challenge.
C.Requirement. D.Drive.
31.(2.5分)What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?
A.Why we should get along with people different from us.
B.How we should treat the differences we find in others.
C.How we can benefit from seeking variation.
D.Why we tend to chase and enjoy variation.
(本题10分)When technology quickly changes our world, we might ask: Are our old cultural traditions disappearing, or are they being reborn? In China, an interesting mix of old and new shows that technology is not fighting tradition. Instead, it is a strong tool to help bring traditions back to life and pass them on to young people.
Take the Spring Festival, China’s most important holiday, as an example. The old custom of giving red envelopes with money inside has changed. Now, many millions of people use apps to send and get digital red envelopes. This change to digital form has not reduced the tradition’s meaning of bringing good luck and wishes. In fact, it has made the custom more fun and convenient. This is especially engaging for young people who often live without using much cash.
Traditional performing arts are also joining this digital trend. For example, Chinese opera, a valuable cultural art, is now using modern stage effects. Shows might use better sound and lights, or even drones to create amazing scenes that were not possible before. This attracts people who once thought opera was hard to understand or old-fashioned. At a recent show, AI robot dogs performed a traditional dance together perfectly. The performance surprised the audience and showed a wonderful mix of old culture and new technology.
Even the important value of family reunion is helped by modern technology. China’s large high-speed rail network makes trips home for the holidays much quicker and easier. For family members who cannot travel, video calls and social media become places for online gatherings. They allow families separated by long distances to share happy festival moments together.
In the end, technology is creating new containers for our old cultural traditions. It makes sure that the true spirit of these traditions — like community, good wishes, and family love — does not just continue, but grows stronger in the modern world. It connects the past and the present in active and exciting ways.
32.(2.5分)What can we know about digital red envelopes?
A.They are widely accepted by elderly people. B.They have made the custom easier and funnier.
C.They have made the custom less meaningful. D.They are less safe than traditional paper envelopes.
33.(2.5分)What do the examples in paragraph 3 indicate?
A.High-tech effects are now part of traditions. B.Chinese opera is losing its importance today.
C.Traditional arts depend on high-tech to survive. D.Technology makes traditional arts more attractive.
34.(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the mix of technology and tradition?
A.Worried. B.Objective. C.Positive. D.Doubtful.
35.(2.5分)What is the main idea of the text?
A.Young people are ignoring old traditions. B.Technology is helping keep traditions alive.
C.Technology is replacing traditional customs. D.Technology is changing the meaning of traditions.
(本题12.5分)How to Provide First Aid for a Broken Bone
Broken bones are serious injuries that need immediate medical care. Sometimes, getting timely first aid from trained health professionals is not always possible. 36(2.5分) .Check the injured area.
If you’re in an emergency and there are no medical people around, quickly check how bad the injury is. If someone falls or has an accident and feels a lot of pain, they might have a broken bone.
37(2.5分) . If you think the head, back, or pelvis (骨盆) is broken, don’t move the person. You need an X-ray to be certain. For arms, legs, fingers, toes, or noses, a broken bone usually looks bent or out of shape. 38(2.5分)
If you think the injury is serious and might be a broken bone, call 911 right away. Get an ambulance coming as fast as you can. First aid can help, but it’s not the same as having a doctor or nurse. If you’re near a hospital and you’re sure the injury isn’t life-threatening and is just in an arm or leg, you could drive the person there instead.Keep calm and watch for signs of shock.
Breaking a bone is very painful. Fear, panic, and shock are all common reactions, but they can have negative consequences for the body, so they must be controlled. As you wait for help, cover the person to keep him warm and give him some water. 39(2.5分) .Keep the broken bone still.
After the injured person is stable, try to keep the broken bone still if you have to wait for help. This can reduce pain and protect the bone from more damage. 40(2.5分) . Improperly moving broken bones can cause more harm. Splints (夹板) only work for arms and legs, not for bones in the pelvis or the body trunk.
A.Give first aid before the ambulance arrives.
B.Call for emergency help.
C.Therefore, knowing basic first aid for broken bones is important.
D.Keep talking to him to distract him from focusing on his injury.
E.The more severe the fracture (骨折) is, the more pain it causes.
F.Don’t try to fix the bone if you don’t know how.
G.But pain alone isn’t enough to be sure.
三、完形填空
(本题15分)To understand China’s coffee culture, I travelled to Zhukula village, Yunnan, where French missionaries (传教士) 41 China’s first coffee trees in 1892. No road led to this 42 village when I visited in 2010.
I learned how these farmers not only produced but also consumed coffee. This stood in sharp contrast to the reality I had faced years earlier: Finding any coffee at all 43 a taxi ride across downtown Beijing when I first arrived in 2005, because about 20 years ago, China’s coffee culture had 44 begun percolating (萌芽).
While there were many reasons more Chinese people were increasingly 45 about coffee at that time, a main 46 was the US sitcom (情景喜剧), Friends. It felt like Friends was even more 47 in China than in the US. I remember when a replica (复制品) of the TV show’s Central Perk coffee shop 48 in Beijing in 2010, followed by another in Shanghai.
Fast-forward nearly two decades, and China is 49 global coffee culture. Rather than travelling across town in the nation’s cities, you likely only need to 50 a few steps down the street to get a cup. It’s even commonplace in towns and smaller settlements.
The nation’s coffee culture is continuing to 51 , driven by increasing innovation. Like those 52 trees in Zhukula, China’s coffee-culture heritage remains rooted deep in China’s southwestern corner. Now, it’s 53 to every place on our planet.
These beans are the seeds of a(n) 54 that is rooted in globalization, in which the word “blend” extends beyond fine grounds to whole civilizations, and where 55 pours across borders one cup at a time.
It flavors, stirs, and energizes an excitement we feel worldwide.

(本题15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Catherine the Great set out to define Russia as an extremely important power in Europe. Her rule remained stable until 1768, when something began to threaten her people and her position — an ancient disease named smallpox.
By the 18th century, smallpox 56(1.5分) (become) particularly deadly. One in five people who caught it died. It was particularly dangerous for children, so parents would be advised not to count their children unless they survived smallpox. There was absolutely nothing that could be done. People tried keeping patients hot to sweat 57(1.5分) disease out or even bleeding them, neither of 58(1.5分) did any good.
Since the 16th century, there had been inoculation 59(1.5分) (practise) widely in China, the Middle East and Turkey. It involved a person 60(1.5分) (give) a controlled dose (剂量) of the disease. A tiny drop of pus (脓液) from the spots of someone with the disease 61(1.5分) (collect). Then the live virus was put into a cut on the arm of the healthy person.
In 1767, a British doctor named Dimsdale published an instruction manual and introduced his way of safe inoculation, 62(1.5分) he received little support in his own country. And that’s how he came to the attention of Catherine the Great. In the 1760s, inoculation wasn’t a common practice in Russia, a land where there was “enormous distrust” against it. Catherine made the brave decision to experiment with treatment first. She put her faith in science and her life in the hands of Dimsdale, calling for him in 1768 63(1.5分) (treat) her and her family.
Catherine’s inoculation went so well that her experience encouraged her people to get inoculated, too. Indeed, her first experiment demonstrated great 64(1.5分) (resolve) and firmness of her mind. To her people, she projected an image of herself 65(1.5分) a caring ruler. She was remembered for advancing public health in Russia and saving millions of lives.

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。
Jade was born in China and relocated to America when she was barely a baby. Now a sixteen-year-old teenager raised entirely in the USA, she had grown accustomed to local lifestyles. Busy as they were, her parents never skipped the celebrations of traditional Chinese festivals. Still, Jade could never figure out what made these festivals so significant to them. To her, these festivals meant nothing but endless tiring chores, unfamiliar dishes that failed to suit her taste, and less time with her friends.
On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jade’s mother got up very early and busied herself with preparations. Jade grabbed her backpack, eager to dash out and meet her friends. Just as she reached the door, Mom stopped her, hoping she could pitch in. Looking at all kinds of materials and the mooncake moulds spread out across the kitchen table, Jade rejected the appeal without hesitation. She complained that she had made plans with her friends long before and saw absolutely no sense in wasting her leisure time on such festival routines.
Mom dried her hands on her apron and drew Jade down to sit next to her. She didn’t blame her. Instead, she pulled an old photo album out of the kitchen cupboard. Inside were snapshots of her and Dad shortly after their arrival in America: the young couple beamed, holding mooncakes outside their tiny, shabby apartment.
In a soft, trembling voice, Mom explained that the festival represented far more than mooncakes and lights. Back in her childhood days in Guangzhou, her whole family would gather on the rooftop each Mid-Autumn night. They savored mooncakes, sipped fragrant tea and watched the huge, glowing full moon. Once, she had taken those warm moments for granted. But after being thousands of miles away from home, that very moon turned into an invisible thread tying her to her hometown. “We gaze up at the same moon as our relatives back in China. This festival holds our family bond unbroken,” she murmured.
Mom shut the photo album and gently laid her hand over Jade’s. “You are free to leave if you wish. Go enjoy yourself with your friends.” Jade stared hard at her mother, catching the faint glimmer of homesick sorrow in her eyes.
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。
Jade thought for a short time, and then put down her backpack.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When night fell, all the preparations were completed.

W: Absolutely! Kites were first created over 2,000 years ago in China. A philosopher named Mozi made the earliest wooden kite, later improved with bamboo by his student Lu Ban. People even tied whistles to kites to make music in ancient times!
M: Wow! But why are they shaped like animals?
W: Great question! Traditional designs like dragons, phoenixes, or eagles symbolize cultural meanings — dragons represent power, while birds mean freedom.
M: Fascinating! What materials are used in making kites now?
W: Modern kites combine silk, paper, and bamboo frames. The craftsmanship is delicate — balancing weight and flexibility.
M: I’d love to try making one. Is it hard?
W: Well, it takes skill! Ancient Chinese believed kites could send messages to the heavens — today, we just enjoy watching them dance in the wind!
M: Great! My family will like them.
(本题4.5分)听下面一段独白,回答以下小题。
18.(1.5分)Who is the speaker?
A.A nurse. B.A doctor. C.A student.
19.(1.5分)What can be said about British people?
A.Some of them save many lives.
B.Not many have life-saving skills.
C.They learn early how to save lives.
20.(1.5分)What is the speaker mainly talking about?
A.Research on first aid.
B.Where first aid is taught.
C.Teaching first aid to children.
【答案】18.B 19.B 20.C
【原文】First aid training is important — and the earlier you learn it, the better. As a doctor, I know that not only does first aid training help others, but it also improves young people’s confidence and willingness to act in time of a dangerous situation. You’re never too young to start learning how to save a life. In an emergency, every second counts. Lack of confidence is the main reason why adults don’t react. I hope this won’t happen in the next generation. Our courses help children to learn first aid in a safe environment. Life is changeable — we never know what’s around the corner. At any moment, someone could need our help. However, only a third of British adults say they would attempt first aid. This may be why only 1 in 10 people survive an out-of-hospital heart attack. In countries where first aid is taught in schools, as many as 1 in 4 people survive. First aid is a skill a child can build on. It can even encourage young people into health care jobs.

(本题7.5分)Top Three Films for Medical Professionals
This list of films is specifically tailored for doctors and medical students. Whether you’re looking for motivation, a reflection of your own experiences, or simply a cinematic journey through the world of medicine, these films are a must-watch.
Patch Adams
This film, whose key advantage is an adaptation from a real story, tells the biography of Hunter “Patch” Adams, a doctor who believes in treating patients with humour and sympathy, highlighting the importance of human connection in medicine. The real Patch Adams was involved in the film’s production, and Robin Williams’ performance was inspired by Adams’ own personality and methods.
Something the Lord Made
This HBO film tells the partnership between Dr. Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas, who cooperated to develop pioneering and innovative heart surgery techniques, stressing the often ignored contributions of African American medical professionals like them. Despite its common plot, the film was based on an article in the Washingtonian magazine, and it received widespread praise for its presentation of medical history, making people forget the passage of time.
Wit
A professor of English literature with terminal (晚期的) cancer reflects on her life and treatment, offering a profound exploration of the human condition and the impersonal nature of modern medicine. Emma Thompson won an Emmy for her role as Vivian Bearing, delivering a deeply moving performance.
21.(2.5分)What is a main strength of Patch Adams?
A.It is based on a real experience. B.It is filled with humorous plots.
C.It is performed by a famous actor. D.It is focused on human connection.
22.(2.5分)How do people like Something the Lord Made?
A.Well-plotted. B.Well-presented. C.Poorly-made. D.Poorly-timed.
23.(2.5分)What problem of modern medicine does Wit note?
A.Shortage of humanity. B.Exposure of privacy.

【答案】21.A 22.B 23.A
【导语】本文主要为医务工作者推荐了三部经典影片,分别介绍影片原型故事、核心内容与特色,展现医疗行业温情、科研合作与医疗人文反思。
【详解】21.细节理解题。根据Patch Adams部分“This film, whose key advantage is an adaptation from a real story, tells the biography of Hunter “Patch” Adams, a doctor who believes in treating patients with humour and sympathy, highlighting the importance of human connection in medicine.(这部影片的主要优势是改编自真实故事,讲述了亨特·帕奇·亚当斯的生平,这位医生主张用幽默与同情心医治病人,凸显医疗中人际关怀的重要性)”可知,这部电影的主要优势是改编自真实故事。
22.细节理解题。根据Something the Lord Made部分“Despite its common plot, the film was based on an article in the Washingtonian magazine, and it received widespread praise for its presentation of medical history, making people forget the passage of time.(尽管情节平实,这部影片取材于杂志文章,因其对医学历史的精彩呈现收获广泛赞誉,让人沉浸其中)”可知,尽管该电影情节普通,但是它因对医学历史的精彩呈现而受到了广泛赞誉。
23.细节理解题。根据Wit部分“A professor of English literature with terminal cancer reflects on her life and treatment, offering a profound exploration of the human condition and the impersonal nature of modern medicine.(一位癌症晚期的英语文学教授回望人生与治疗过程,深刻探讨人性以及现代医疗冰冷缺乏人情味的现状)”可知,影片指出现代医疗缺少人文关怀。
(本题10分)In 2024, Chinese doctor Wang Zhenyi, turning 100, was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor, for his battle against leukemia (白血病). Over decades, he transformed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a deadly disease, into one that can be cured.
In the mid-20th century, he saw about 60 APL patients die in a single year, which strengthened his determination to defeat leukemia. “As a doctor, it pains me most to see a patient suffering when there is nothing I can do,” he said.
Wang spent nearly all his free time in libraries and labs, doing research. After years of tireless work, an element called all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) came into the picture as a hopeful cure for APL.
In 1986, a five-year-old girl who was found to have APL was expected to die quickly. Wang used ATRA on her. Seven days later, her symptoms improved significantly; a month later, she fully recovered. That year, 24 APL patients were treated, and 23 of them got better without needing chemotherapy (化疗).
However, some patients later got sick again. To solve this, Wang added arsenic trioxide (ATO), a poisonous chemical. At first, the use of the poisonous compound was met with much doubt. However, it proved effective. With the new ATRA-ATO combination therapy (疗法), the survival rate for APL rose from 10 percent to more than 97 percent.
Wang refused to patent (申请专利) the therapy. “A doctor should put patients’ well-being first,” he said. Today, a box of 10 ATRA pills costs just 300 yuan in China.
Honored with national awards, Wang stayed modest. He said, “I achieved only one thing—being responsible for my patients.”
24.(2.5分)What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A.APL made patients die without suffering.
B.Wang won the medal for his contributions.
C.APL was a mild disease before Wang’s research.
D.The medal strengthened Wang’s determination.
25.(2.5分)What improved the survival rate of leukemia patients?
A.The combination of ATRA and ATO.
B.The treatment of the five-year-old girl.
C.The discovery of some poisonous chemicals.
D.The improvement in chemotherapy techniques.
26.(2.5分)Which of the following would Wang most agree with?
A.Personal income defines a doctor’s worth.
B.Patients’ well-being must always come first.
C.Professional recognition should be the final goal.
D.Established treatments should never be challenged.
27.(2.5分)What can we learn from Wang’s story?
A.Great minds think alike.
B.Every cloud has a silver lining.
C.One good turn deserves another.
D.Where there is a will, there is a way.
【答案】24.B 25.A 26.B 27.D
【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了百岁医生王振义潜心研究,攻克致命的急性白血病,研发出高效联合疗法大幅提升治愈率。他淡泊名利、心系患者,因此荣获共和国勋章。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据前两段内容尤其是第一段中“In 2024, Chinese doctor Wang Zhenyi, turning 100, was given the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest honor, for his battle against leukemia (白血病).( 2024年,中国医生王振义在百岁高龄时,因抗击白血病而荣获中华人民共和国最高荣誉——共和国勋章。)”可知,百岁的王振义医生因在白血病防治领域的突出贡献,被授予国家最高荣誉共和国勋章。
25.细节理解题。根据第五段“However, some patients later got sick again. To solve this, Wang added arsenic trioxide (ATO), a poisonous chemical. At first, the use of the poisonous compound was met with much doubt. However, it proved effective. With the new ATRA-ATO combination therapy (疗法), the survival rate for APL rose from 10 percent to more than 97 percent.( 然而,一些患者后来病情复发。为了解决这一问题,王添加了三氧化二砷(ATO)这种有毒化学物质。起初,这种有毒化合物的使用遭到广泛质疑,但最终证明其有效。通过新的ATRA-ATO联合疗法,急性早幼粒细胞白血病患者的生存率从10%提高到了97%以上。)”可知,ATRA与ATO的联合疗法提高了白血病患者的生存率。
26.推理判断题。根据第六段“Wang refused to patent (申请专利) the therapy. “A doctor should put patients’ well-being first,” he said. Today, a box of 10 ATRA pills costs just 300 yuan in China.( 王拒绝为该疗法申请专利。“医生应该把患者的健康放在首位,”他说。如今,在中国,一盒10粒的ATRA药片仅售300元。)”可推知,王振义认为患者的福祉永远是第一位的。
27.推理判断题。通读全文可知,全文讲述王振义因目睹大量患者离世,立下攻克白血病的志向,数十年泡在图书馆与实验室潜心研究,历经挫折不断优化方案,最终将绝症变为可治愈的疾病。这一故事正对应谚语 Where there is a will, there is a way(有志者,事竟成)的内涵。
(本题10分)Most people enjoy variety. We like to eat different foods from meal to meal. We wear different clothes. We become bored when there is little variety. However, there’s one place where we tend to dislike variety, and that’s in each other. We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share.
There are reasons for this. When we meet new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When we’re learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant. And it can feel worse if our nervous system is already under pressure.
This sort of variation may be uncomfortable for individuals, but it’s important to the survival of any species. If all finches (雀科鸣鸟) were the same, for example, and their environment changed in some significant, harmful ways, like an increase in the temperature or a decrease in water, all of them would be equally affected and the species might become extinct. This insight (洞察力) into variation comes from Charles Darwin, and it’s known as population thinking. The idea of “survival of the fittest” shows that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation is therefore a requisite for natural selection to work.
Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding, but it’s a good investment (投资), sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who is different from you, treat your discomfort as a signal to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Don’t hold that the other person should be silenced. Finally, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations.
28.(2.5分)Which of the following might make people feel uncomfortable?
A.Socializing with people from different cultures.
B.Sharing travelling experiences with others.
C.Taking a trip to a foreign country.
D.Having an adventure in the wild.
29.(2.5分)Why can new and different things make people feel unsettling and unpleasant?
A.They require more physical efforts.
B.They need more resources for nerve cells.
C.They are often harmful to people’s health.
D.They put pressure on people’s nervous system.
30.(2.5分)Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “requisite” in Paragraph 3?
A.Replacement. B.Challenge.
C.Requirement. D.Drive.
31.(2.5分)What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?
A.Why we should get along with people different from us.
B.How we should treat the differences we find in others.
C.How we can benefit from seeking variation.
D.Why we tend to chase and enjoy variation.
【答案】28.A 29.B 30.C 31.B
【导语】文章主要介绍人们反感人际差异的原因,并阐述多样性的重要意义与相处建议。
【详解】28.推理判断题。根据第一段中“We often feel uncomfortable with people who practise different habits, or hold beliefs or values that we do not share.(我们常常会对习惯不同、或是持有与我们不一样的信念和价值观的人感到不适。)”可知,和有着不同文化背景的人交往,会让人产生不适感。
29.细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we meet new and different things, our brain works a bit harder than usual. When we’re learning, our nerve cells require more resources, such as water, salt, and various other chemicals. This extra metabolic (新陈代谢的) activity can feel unsettling and unpleasant.(当我们遇到新的、不同的事物时,大脑会比平时更努力地工作。在学习过程中,我们的神经细胞需要更多的资源,比如水、盐和各种其他化学物质。这种额外的新陈代谢活动会让人感到不安和不愉快。)”可知,新鲜不同的事物需要神经细胞消耗更多资源,从而让人感到不安和不适。
30.词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The idea of “survival of the fittest” shows that individuals must vary. Some are more suited than others for a given environment, making it easier for them to survive, grow, and reproduce. Variation is therefore a requisite for natural selection to work.(“适者生存”的理念表明,个体必须存在差异。有些个体比其他个体更适合特定的环境,这使它们更容易生存、成长和繁殖。因此,变异是自然选择发挥作用的requisite。)”可知,个体差异是自然选择能够生效的必要条件。requisite意为“必需品,必要条件”,requirement与其同义。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dealing with the vast variety of humankind can be demanding, but it’s a good investment (投资), sort of like exercise for your brain. When you meet someone who is different from you, treat your discomfort as a signal to be curious and learn instead of a signal of a problem. Don’t hold that the other person should be silenced. Finally, this mindset can make you more flexible in adapting to challenging situations.(应对人类的巨大多样性可能很费力,但这是一项很好的投资,有点像给大脑做锻炼。当你遇到与你不同的人时,把你的不适当作一种信号,去好奇和学习,而不是当作问题的信号。不要认为对方应该被噤声。最终,这种心态能让你在应对挑战时更加灵活。)”可知,本段主要想讲述我们应当如何看待和对待他人身上的差异。
(本题10分)When technology quickly changes our world, we might ask: Are our old cultural traditions disappearing, or are they being reborn? In China, an interesting mix of old and new shows that technology is not fighting tradition. Instead, it is a strong tool to help bring traditions back to life and pass them on to young people.
Take the Spring Festival, China’s most important holiday, as an example. The old custom of giving red envelopes with money inside has changed. Now, many millions of people use apps to send and get digital red envelopes. This change to digital form has not reduced the tradition’s meaning of bringing good luck and wishes. In fact, it has made the custom more fun and convenient. This is especially engaging for young people who often live without using much cash.
Traditional performing arts are also joining this digital trend. For example, Chinese opera, a valuable cultural art, is now using modern stage effects. Shows might use better sound and lights, or even drones to create amazing scenes that were not possible before. This attracts people who once thought opera was hard to understand or old-fashioned. At a recent show, AI robot dogs performed a traditional dance together perfectly. The performance surprised the audience and showed a wonderful mix of old culture and new technology.
Even the important value of family reunion is helped by modern technology. China’s large high-speed rail network makes trips home for the holidays much quicker and easier. For family members who cannot travel, video calls and social media become places for online gatherings. They allow families separated by long distances to share happy festival moments together.
In the end, technology is creating new containers for our old cultural traditions. It makes sure that the true spirit of these traditions — like community, good wishes, and family love — does not just continue, but grows stronger in the modern world. It connects the past and the present in active and exciting ways.
32.(2.5分)What can we know about digital red envelopes?
A.They are widely accepted by elderly people. B.They have made the custom easier and funnier.
C.They have made the custom less meaningful. D.They are less safe than traditional paper envelopes.
33.(2.5分)What do the examples in paragraph 3 indicate?
A.High-tech effects are now part of traditions. B.Chinese opera is losing its importance today.
C.Traditional arts depend on high-tech to survive. D.Technology makes traditional arts more attractive.
34.(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the mix of technology and tradition?
A.Worried. B.Objective. C.Positive. D.Doubtful.
35.(2.5分)What is the main idea of the text?
A.Young people are ignoring old traditions. B.Technology is helping keep traditions alive.
C.Technology is replacing traditional customs. D.Technology is changing the meaning of traditions.
【答案】32.B 33.D 34.C 35.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过电子红包、现代舞台技术及高铁通讯等例子,阐述了科技并未扼杀传统,而是为传统文化注入新活力,助其在现代社会传承与发展。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, it has made the custom more fun and convenient.(事实上,这使得这种习俗变得更加有趣和便捷了)”可知,数字红包让这种习俗变得更简便、更有趣了。故选B。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段“Traditional performing arts are also joining this digital trend. For example, Chinese opera, a valuable cultural art, is now using modern stage effects. Shows might use better sound and lights, or even drones to create amazing scenes that were not possible before. This attracts people who once thought opera was hard to understand or old-fashioned. At a recent show, AI robot dogs performed a traditional dance together perfectly. The performance surprised the audience and showed a wonderful mix of old culture and new technology.(传统表演艺术也正顺应这一数字化潮流。以中国戏曲为例,这是一种极具价值的文化艺术形式,如今它开始采用现代舞台效果。演出可能会配备更优质的音响和灯光,甚至可能使用无人机来营造出前所未有的精彩场景。这吸引了那些曾经认为戏曲难以理解或过时的人群。在最近的一场演出中,人工智能机器人狗一起完美地表演了一段传统舞蹈。这场表演令观众大为惊讶,展现了古老文化与新技术的完美融合)”可知,第三段中的例子表明技术使传统艺术更具吸引力。故选D。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end, technology is creating new containers for our old cultural traditions. It makes sure that the true spirit of these traditions — like community, good wishes, and family love — does not just continue, but grows stronger in the modern world. It connects the past and the present in active and exciting ways.(最终,科技正在为我们的古老文化传统创造新的载体。它确保了这些传统中真正的精神——比如社区精神、美好祝愿以及家庭之爱——不仅得以延续,而且在现代社会中愈发强大。它以积极且令人兴奋的方式将过去与现在紧密相连)”可知,作者对于技术与传统的融合持积极态度。故选C。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“When technology quickly changes our world, we might ask: Are our old cultural traditions disappearing, or are they being reborn? In China, an interesting mix of old and new shows that technology is not fighting tradition. Instead, it is a strong tool to help bring traditions back to life and pass them on to young people.(当科技迅速改变着我们的世界时,我们可能会问:我们那些古老的文化传统是在消失吗,还是正在重新兴起呢?在中国,一种古老与现代巧妙融合的景象表明,科技并非在与传统对抗,而是成为了一种强大的工具,有助于让传统重焕生机,并将其传递给年轻人)”以及本文通过电子红包、现代舞台技术及高铁通讯等例子,阐述了科技并未扼杀传统,而是为传统文化注入新活力,助其在现代社会传承与发展。可知,这篇文章的主要观点是技术正在助力传统得以延续。故选B。
(本题12.5分)How to Provide First Aid for a Broken Bone
Broken bones are serious injuries that need immediate medical care. Sometimes, getting timely first aid from trained health professionals is not always possible. 36(2.5分) .Check the injured area.
If you’re in an emergency and there are no medical people around, quickly check how bad the injury is. If someone falls or has an accident and feels a lot of pain, they might have a broken bone.
37(2.5分) . If you think the head, back, or pelvis (骨盆) is broken, don’t move the person. You need an X-ray to be certain. For arms, legs, fingers, toes, or noses, a broken bone usually looks bent or out of shape. 38(2.5分)
If you think the injury is serious and might be a broken bone, call 911 right away. Get an ambulance coming as fast as you can. First aid can help, but it’s not the same as having a doctor or nurse. If you’re near a hospital and you’re sure the injury isn’t life-threatening and is just in an arm or leg, you could drive the person there instead.Keep calm and watch for signs of shock.
Breaking a bone is very painful. Fear, panic, and shock are all common reactions, but they can have negative consequences for the body, so they must be controlled. As you wait for help, cover the person to keep him warm and give him some water. 39(2.5分) .Keep the broken bone still.
After the injured person is stable, try to keep the broken bone still if you have to wait for help. This can reduce pain and protect the bone from more damage. 40(2.5分) . Improperly moving broken bones can cause more harm. Splints (夹板) only work for arms and legs, not for bones in the pelvis or the body trunk.
A.Give first aid before the ambulance arrives.
B.Call for emergency help.
C.Therefore, knowing basic first aid for broken bones is important.
D.Keep talking to him to distract him from focusing on his injury.
E.The more severe the fracture (骨折) is, the more pain it causes.
F.Don’t try to fix the bone if you don’t know how.
G.But pain alone isn’t enough to be sure.
【答案】36.C 37.G 38.B 39.D 40.F
【导语】本文介绍骨折急救方法:先检查伤情、立刻呼救、安抚伤者防休克、固定伤处。
【详解】36.根据上文“Broken bones are serious injuries that need immediate medical care. Sometimes, getting timely first aid from trained health professionals is not always possible.(骨折是严重的损伤,需要立即接受医疗救治。有时,无法及时获得受过卫生专业训练人员的急救处理)”可知,第一段引出主题,前文提到有时候无法及时获得专业医护人员的急救,因此C选项“因此,了解骨折的基础急救知识十分重要”符合逻辑,衔接上文,引出下文具体方法。
37.根据上文“If you’re in an emergency and there are no medical people around, quickly check how bad the injury is. If someone falls or has an accident and feels a lot of pain, they might have a broken bone.(如果你遇到紧急情况,周围没有医护人员,请迅速检查伤情的严重程度。如果有人摔倒或发生意外后感到剧烈疼痛,可能已经骨折了)”以及后文“If you think the head, back, or pelvis (骨盆) is broken, don’t move the person. You need an X-ray to be certain. For arms, legs, fingers, toes, or noses, a broken bone usually looks bent or out of shape.(如果怀疑头部、背部或骨盆骨折,请不要移动伤者。必须通过X光检查才能确定。对于手臂、腿部、手指、脚趾或鼻子,骨折通常表现为弯曲或形状异常)”可知,前文提到受伤剧痛可能是骨折,后文提到需要X光才能确诊,G选项“但只凭疼痛无法确定骨折”承上启下,符合语境。
38.根据后文“If you think the injury is serious and might be a broken bone, call 911 right away. Get an ambulance coming as fast as you can. First aid can help, but it’s not the same as having a doctor or nurse. If you’re near a hospital and you’re sure the injury isn’t life-threatening and is just in an arm or leg, you could drive the person there instead.(如果你认为伤势严重,可能是骨折,请立即拨打911。尽快让救护车赶到现场。急救措施可以提供帮助,但无法替代医生或护士的治疗。如果你在医院附近,并且确定伤情不危及生命,只是手臂或腿部受伤,可以自行驾车送人去医院)”可知,空后整段内容围绕拨打急救电话、呼叫救护车送医展开,B选项“呼叫紧急救援”可作为该段的核心小标题,符合要求。
39.根据上文“Breaking a bone is very painful. Fear, panic, and shock are all common reactions, but they can have negative consequences for the body, so they must be controlled. As you wait for help, cover the person to keep him warm and give him some water.(骨折会非常疼痛。恐惧、惊慌和休克都是常见的反应,但这些反应可能对身体造成不良影响,因此必须加以控制。等待救援时,应为伤者盖上衣物以保暖,并给予少量饮水)”可知,该段讲解缓解休克恐慌,前文提到等待救援时要给伤者保暖、喂水,D选项“不断和伤者说话,帮他转移对伤势的注意力”符合缓解恐慌情绪的逻辑,衔接自然。
40.根据上文“After the injured person is stable, try to keep the broken bone still if you have to wait for help. This can reduce pain and protect the bone from more damage.(伤者情况稳定后,如果需要等待救援,请尽量保持骨折部位不动。这样可以减轻疼痛,并防止骨骼进一步受损)”以及后文“Improperly moving broken bones can cause more harm. Splints (夹板) only work for arms and legs, not for bones in the pelvis or the body trunk.(不当地移动骨折的骨头可能会造成更大的伤害。夹板仅适用于手臂和腿部,不适用于骨盆或躯干部位的骨骼)”可知,该段讲解保持骨折部位固定,后文提到不当移动会造成更多伤害,F选项“如果你不懂正确方法,不要尝试复位骨折”符合语境,衔接下文。
三、完形填空
(本题15分)To understand China’s coffee culture, I travelled to Zhukula village, Yunnan, where French missionaries (传教士) 41 China’s first coffee trees in 1892. No road led to this 42 village when I visited in 2010.
I learned how these farmers not only produced but also consumed coffee. This stood in sharp contrast to the reality I had faced years earlier: Finding any coffee at all 43 a taxi ride across downtown Beijing when I first arrived in 2005, because about 20 years ago, China’s coffee culture had 44 begun percolating (萌芽).
While there were many reasons more Chinese people were increasingly 45 about coffee at that time, a main 46 was the US sitcom (情景喜剧), Friends. It felt like Friends was even more 47 in China than in the US. I remember when a replica (复制品) of the TV show’s Central Perk coffee shop 48 in Beijing in 2010, followed by another in Shanghai.
Fast-forward nearly two decades, and China is 49 global coffee culture. Rather than travelling across town in the nation’s cities, you likely only need to 50 a few steps down the street to get a cup. It’s even commonplace in towns and smaller settlements.
The nation’s coffee culture is continuing to 51 , driven by increasing innovation. Like those 52 trees in Zhukula, China’s coffee-culture heritage remains rooted deep in China’s southwestern corner. Now, it’s 53 to every place on our planet.
These beans are the seeds of a(n) 54 that is rooted in globalization, in which the word “blend” extends beyond fine grounds to whole civilizations, and where 55 pours across borders one cup at a time.
It flavors, stirs, and energizes an excitement we feel worldwide.

四、语法填空
(本题15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Catherine the Great set out to define Russia as an extremely important power in Europe. Her rule remained stable until 1768, when something began to threaten her people and her position — an ancient disease named smallpox.
By the 18th century, smallpox 56(1.5分) (become) particularly deadly. One in five people who caught it died. It was particularly dangerous for children, so parents would be advised not to count their children unless they survived smallpox. There was absolutely nothing that could be done. People tried keeping patients hot to sweat 57(1.5分) disease out or even bleeding them, neither of 58(1.5分) did any good.
Since the 16th century, there had been inoculation 59(1.5分) (practise) widely in China, the Middle East and Turkey. It involved a person 60(1.5分) (give) a controlled dose (剂量) of the disease. A tiny drop of pus (脓液) from the spots of someone with the disease 61(1.5分) (collect). Then the live virus was put into a cut on the arm of the healthy person.
In 1767, a British doctor named Dimsdale published an instruction manual and introduced his way of safe inoculation, 62(1.5分) he received little support in his own country. And that’s how he came to the attention of Catherine the Great. In the 1760s, inoculation wasn’t a common practice in Russia, a land where there was “enormous distrust” against it. Catherine made the brave decision to experiment with treatment first. She put her faith in science and her life in the hands of Dimsdale, calling for him in 1768 63(1.5分) (treat) her and her family.
Catherine’s inoculation went so well that her experience encouraged her people to get inoculated, too. Indeed, her first experiment demonstrated great 64(1.5分) (resolve) and firmness of her mind. To her people, she projected an image of herself 65(1.5分) a caring ruler. She was remembered for advancing public health in Russia and saving millions of lives.
【答案】
56.had become 57.the 58.which 59.practised/practiced 60.being given 61.was collected 62.but 63.to treat 64.resolution 65.as
【导语】文章主要讲述了俄国叶卡捷琳娜大帝推动天花接种,促进俄国公共卫生发展的历史故事。
【详解】56.考查谓语动词。句意:到18世纪,天花已经变得极具致命性。根据时间状语By the 18th century可知,句子要用过去完成时had done,表示在过去某一时间之前已经完成的动作。
57.考查冠词。句意:人们尝试让病人保持高温发汗,以此把病逼出来,甚至给病人放血,但这两种做法都没有效果。此处特指前文提到的smallpox,应用定冠词the修饰disease。
58.考查定语从句。句意:人们尝试让病人保持高温发汗,以此把病逼出来,甚至给病人放血,但这两种做法都没有效果。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是主句提到的两种做法,引导词位于介词短语neither of之后,应用关系代词which。
59.考查非谓语动词。句意:自16世纪以来,接种在中国、中东和土耳其已经被广泛实施。句中已有谓语动词had been,空处应填非谓语形式;inoculation与practise之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。
60.考查非谓语动词。句意:该操作涉及到人被接种可控剂量的这种病毒。involve sb. doing sth.是固定搭配,且person和give之间是被动关系,表示“人被给予”,应用动名词的被动形式being given。
61.考查谓语动词。句意:从患者疱疹中提取一小滴脓液。主语A tiny drop of pus和collect是被动关系;且句子描述的是过去发生的事实,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为单数,应填was collected。
62.考查连词。句意:1767年,一位名叫Dimsdale的英国医生出版一本操作手册,介绍了他安全接种的方法,但是他在本国几乎得不到支持。前后两个分句为转折逻辑关系,应填连词but。
63.考查非谓语动词。句意:她相信科学,把自己的性命交到Dimsdale手中,于1768年召见他来为自己和家人治疗。此处用不定式to treat作目的状语,表示召见他的目的。
64.考查名词。句意:的确,她的首次试验展现出强大的决心与坚定的意志。形容词great后应接名词,resolve的名词形式为resolution,意为“决心”,为不可数名词。
65.考查介词。句意:在她的子民眼中,她树立起一位体恤百姓的统治者的形象。project an image of oneself as…是固定搭配,意为“树立自己作为……的形象”。

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。
Jade was born in China and relocated to America when she was barely a baby. Now a sixteen-year-old teenager raised entirely in the USA, she had grown accustomed to local lifestyles. Busy as they were, her parents never skipped the celebrations of traditional Chinese festivals. Still, Jade could never figure out what made these festivals so significant to them. To her, these festivals meant nothing but endless tiring chores, unfamiliar dishes that failed to suit her taste, and less time with her friends.
On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jade’s mother got up very early and busied herself with preparations. Jade grabbed her backpack, eager to dash out and meet her friends. Just as she reached the door, Mom stopped her, hoping she could pitch in. Looking at all kinds of materials and the mooncake moulds spread out across the kitchen table, Jade rejected the appeal without hesitation. She complained that she had made plans with her friends long before and saw absolutely no sense in wasting her leisure time on such festival routines.
Mom dried her hands on her apron and drew Jade down to sit next to her. She didn’t blame her. Instead, she pulled an old photo album out of the kitchen cupboard. Inside were snapshots of her and Dad shortly after their arrival in America: the young couple beamed, holding mooncakes outside their tiny, shabby apartment.
In a soft, trembling voice, Mom explained that the festival represented far more than mooncakes and lights. Back in her childhood days in Guangzhou, her whole family would gather on the rooftop each Mid-Autumn night. They savored mooncakes, sipped fragrant tea and watched the huge, glowing full moon. Once, she had taken those warm moments for granted. But after being thousands of miles away from home, that very moon turned into an invisible thread tying her to her hometown. “We gaze up at the same moon as our relatives back in China. This festival holds our family bond unbroken,” she murmured.
Mom shut the photo album and gently laid her hand over Jade’s. “You are free to leave if you wish. Go enjoy yourself with your friends.” Jade stared hard at her mother, catching the faint glimmer of homesick sorrow in her eyes.

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】参考范文
Jade thought for a short time, and then put down her backpack. Though slightly reluctant, she rolled up her sleeves and threw herself into festival preparations with her parents. Awkwardly, she was clumsy at first and the mooncakes made by her turned out misshapen and looked strange. Under Mom’s patient guidance, she gradually mastered the skills of pressing mixtures into delicate moulds. What started as a burdensome task slowly sparked her enthusiasm. Mindful of every step, she grew increasingly skillful and laughter occasionally echoed through the kitchen.
When night fell, all the preparations were completed. Seated on the balcony, the whole family admired the brilliant full moon, tasted the homemade mooncakes and swapped touching stories about Mid-Autumn in China. To Jade’s amazement, the mooncakes carried an unexpected delicious flavor. It dawned on her that those once-annoying chores were far from meaningless. Instead of merely robbing her of fun with friends, the festival built a precious emotional bond linking her to her family and distant cultural roots.
【导语】本文以Jade的情感变化为线索展开,自幼在美国长大的Jade一直无法理解中国传统节日的意义,认为中秋节繁琐无趣,打算出门和朋友玩耍。母亲翻看旧照片,向她讲述中秋节承载的思乡之情与家国羁绊,让Jade内心深受触动。

②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写一家人赏月、品尝月饼、聊往事的温馨场景,Jade彻底理解中秋节的意义,感悟传统文化与亲情羁绊。
