This finding has the potential to transform future agricultural practices. The discovery, published in the latest issue of Science, explains how plants and bacteria identify the perfect partner, paving the way for engineered crops that may one day need far less chemical fertilizer. The study explains how legumes such as soybeans and peas identify and form partnerships with specific nitrogen-fixing bacteria — bacteria that help convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for the plant. These interactions result in the formation of root nodules (根瘤), which act as natural fertilizer factories. Within these nodules, the plants provide sugars to the bacteria, while the bacteria, in turn, supply the plants with fixed nitrogen. A long-standing mystery has been how plant roots, surrounded by countless microorganisms, selectively allow only compatible nitrogen-fixing bacteria to enter. This process begins with plant-secreted chemicals called flavonoids, but the exact mechanism of recognition has remained unclear. However, a collaborative team led by researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences (CEMPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has solved this puzzle. By determining the detailed 3D structure of a key bacterial protein called NodD bound to a flavonoid signal, they unveiled the exact “lock-and-key” fit that enables specific partner selection. The team identified unique regions in NodD that act as a selective filter, ensuring each bacterial strain responds only to the flavonoid signal produced by its specific host plant. According to the study, the findings open new pathways for designing more efficient symbiotic systems. In the future, scientists may engineer nitrogen-fixing bacteria to partner with a broader range of crops — including cereals like rice and wheat, which do not naturally form such relationships. “This brings us closer to reducing agriculture’s reliance on man-made nitrogen fertilizers,” said Zhang Yu, a researcher at CEMPS. “By understanding this recognition process, we can explore creating new beneficial partnerships between plants and microorganisms.” The research not only decodes a fundamental dialogue in nature but also lays a scientific foundation for designing greener, more sustainable farming systems worldwide, Zhang added. 24．(2.5分)What is the main potential impact of the new discovery on agriculture? A．It will completely replace chemical fertilizers in farming. B．It may lead to crops needing much less chemical fertilizer. C．It allows all plants to form partnerships with bacteria naturally. D．It explains why only legumes can use atmospheric nitrogen. 25．(2.5分)What is the function of root nodules in legumes? A．They produce sugars for the plant. B．They act as natural fertilizer factories. C．They protect plants from harmful bacteria. D．They help plants absorb water from the soil. 26．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the “lock-and-key” fit mentioned in the study? A．It allows any bacteria to enter plant roots. B．It ensures only specific bacteria respond to their host plant’s signal. C．It is a physical structure found on the surface of roots. D．It prevents all microorganisms from interacting with plants. 27．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a new type of chemical fertilizer. B．To explain how plants produce flavonoids. C．To report a scientific breakthrough in plant-bacteria partnership. D．To compare different types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. 【答案】24．B 25．B 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文报道中外科学家的科研突破，揭开豆科植物与固氮细菌精准识别的锁钥机制，该成果可培育少施化肥的作物，为绿色可持续农业奠定科学基础。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段“The discovery, published in the latest issue of Science, explains how plants and bacteria identify the perfect partner, paving the way for engineered crops that may one day need far less chemical fertilizer.(这项发表在最新一期《科学》杂志上的发现阐明了植物与细菌如何识别最佳共生伙伴，为培育日后大幅减少化肥使用的改良作物铺平了道路。)”可知，该新发现对农业的潜在重大影响是培育出只需少量化肥的作物。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“These interactions result in the formation of root nodules (根瘤), which act as natural fertilizer factories.(二者的相互作用催生根瘤，根瘤充当天然化肥工厂。)”可知，豆科植物根瘤的作用是充当天然肥料工厂。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段“By determining the detailed 3D structure of a key bacterial protein called NodD bound to a flavonoid signal, they unveiled the exact “lock-and-key” fit that enables specific partner selection. The team identified unique regions in NodD that act as a selective filter, ensuring each bacterial strain responds only to the flavonoid signal produced by its specific host plant.(研究团队解析了细菌关键蛋白NodD与类黄酮信号结合的完整三维结构，揭示了实现特异性配对的精准“锁钥匹配”机制。团队发现NodD上的特殊区域起到筛选作用，保证每种菌株只对专属宿主植物释放的类黄酮信号产生反应。)”可推断，“锁钥匹配”机制确保只有特定细菌能对应宿主植物的信号。 27．推理判断题。根据第一段“A team of Chinese and international scientists has uncovered the precise mechanism behind one of nature’s most vital alliances: the partnership between legume plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This finding has the potential to transform future agricultural practices.(一支中外科学家团队揭开了自然界最重要共生关系之一 —— 豆科植物与固氮细菌配对的精确作用机制，该发现有望变革未来农业生产方式。)”以及下文内容可知，全文围绕这项科研突破展开，介绍研究内容、原理与农业应用前景，由此可判断文章旨在报道一项关于植物与细菌共生关系的科学突破。 （本题10分）In Chengdu, China, an elevated walkway winds through thick bamboo forest, overlooking a sunken football field. Surrounding this scene is West Village, a multi-level complex of streets, studios, restaurants, and more. This innovative urban landscape is the creation of architect Liu Jiakun, recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. His work, deeply rooted in local culture and context, has transformed urban spaces in China. Liu Jiakun, born in 1956, is only the second Chinese architect to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize. His work, mostly concentrated in Sichuan Province, ranges from museums to public spaces. Unlike many contemporary architects, Liu’s designs avoid complexity, focusing instead on creating meaningful backdrops for everyday life. “I became an architect by accident,” Liu says. After a brief period at a state-run design institute, he spent a decade in Xizang and Xinjiang, exploring writing and painting. His novel, Bright Moonlight Plan, described an architect’s struggle to build an ideal town. Liu believes architecture and literature share a deep connection, both requiring patience and attention to human behavior. Returning to architecture in middle age, Liu gained national attention after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. He created “rebirth bricks” using local broken bricks, wheat fiber, and concrete, a poetic metaphor for material and spiritual rebirth. These bricks became a signature in his work, notably at the Shuijingfang Museum, an extension to a historic factory in Chengdu. Completed in 2013, the museum combined grey bricks with bamboo-imprinted concrete, creating a unique human touch. West Village, completed in 2015, is Liu’s most ambitious project. Covering an entire city block, it integrates sports facilities, restaurants, galleries, and more. Liu describes it as a “big Sichuan hotpot,” combining every aspect of city life. Despite initial challenges, the complex has gradually come to life, showcasing Liu’s vision of an urban utopia (乌托邦). Liu’s philosophy is to be like water, permeating (渗透) through a place without a fixed form. His architecture aims to integrate into the local environment, solidifying over time into structures that preserve the essence of their surroundings. 28．(2.5分)What sets Liu Jiakun’s architectural work apart? A．A unique location. B．Natural surroundings. C．Elegantly framed structures. D．A culturally rooted design. 29．(2.5分)How does Liu’s literature background influence his architecture? A．It changes an old bond. B．It brings a human touch. C．It lights local perception. D．It stresses social concerns. 30．(2.5分)Why did Liu’s design feature “rebirth bricks” after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake? A．To lower expenses. B．To upgrade materials. C．To symbolize renewal. D．To pioneer a new design. 31．(2.5分)What does West Village illustrate about Liu Jiakun’s architectural philosophy? A．His vision of integrating rich urban life. B．His preference for isolated buildings. C．His reliance on reinvented materials. D．His disregard for community needs. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．C 31．A 【导语】本文介绍了普利兹克建筑奖得主、中国建筑师刘家琨的建筑理念与代表作品。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“His work, deeply rooted in local culture and context, has transformed urban spaces in China.(他的作品深深植根于本土文化与地域环境，重塑了中国众多城市空间。)”可知，植根本土文化的设计让刘家琨的建筑作品与众不同。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Liu believes architecture and literature share a deep connection, both requiring patience and attention to human behavior.(刘认为建筑与文学有着深厚的内在联系，二者都需要足够的耐心，并且关注人的行为。)”可知，刘家琨的文学背景给他的建筑作品带来人文质感。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段“He created “rebirth bricks” using local broken bricks, wheat fiber, and concrete, a poetic metaphor for material and spiritual rebirth.(他就地取材，利用当地废旧砖块、麦纤维与混凝土创制“再生砖”，这是物质与精神双重重生富有诗意的隐喻。)”可知，汶川地震后刘家琨设计使用“再生砖”的原因是再生砖用来象征震后物质与精神的双重重生。 31．推理判断题。根据第五段“Covering an entire city block, it integrates sports facilities, restaurants, galleries, and more. Liu describes it as a “big Sichuan hotpot,” combining every aspect of city life. Despite initial challenges, the complex has gradually come to life, showcasing Liu’s vision of an urban utopia (乌托邦).(该建筑占据整个街区，融合了运动设施、餐厅、美术馆等多种功能。刘将其形容为一口“四川火锅”，汇聚城市生活的方方面面。尽管初期困难重重，这一综合体逐渐焕发生机，展现出他心中都市乌托邦的构想。)”可知，刘家琨将西村大院比作“四川火锅”，把运动、餐饮、艺术等城市生活场景完全融合，集中体现了他对多元鲜活城市生活的整合愿景。 （本题10分）Archaeologists and researchers at the ancient Roman site of Pompeii have used artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time to digitally rebuild the face of a man killed in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius that covered the city, offering a new way to understand one of history’s most famous natural disasters. The digital picture shows a man whose remains, along with those of another person, were discovered，was trying to get away from the city toward the coast of what is now Italy during the volcanic eruption. Researchers believe the man died early in the disaster, during a heavy fall of volcanic material. The rebuilding was done by the Pompeii Archaeological Park, which announced on its website that it was done with the University of Padua and based on archaeological survey data from digs near the Porta Stabia burial ground, just outside the walls of the ancient city. The announcement shows the AI-generated image of what the man could have looked like. He is shown running along a rough, debris-covered road, holding a large, shallow bowl over his head and using it as a shield while Mount Vesuvius is seen erupting in the background. The man was also carrying an oil lamp, a small iron ring and 10 bronze coins, personal objects that offer insight into his last moments as well as into daily life in Pompeii before the disaster. Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage site near Naples, was buried under ash and pumice when Vesuvius erupted nearly 2,000 years ago, keeping the city and the remains of thousands of its people in very fine detail. Old accounts, including those of Roman writer Pliny the Younger, describe Pompeii’s residents using objects to protect themselves as ash and debris covered the city. The digital picture was created by using AI and photo-editing techniques designed to turn skeletal and archaeological data into a realistic human likeness. 32．(2.5分)In what aspect can the picture offer help? A．Finding more ancient remains near Pompeii. B．Rebuilding the old walls and ground of Pompeii. C．Showing the daily diet of the people in Pompeii. D．Studying the volcanic eruption destroying Pompeii. 33．(2.5分)What was the man in the picture doing? A．Cooking his food. B．Observing the volcano. C．Escaping from Pompeii. D．Collecting volcanic material. 34．(2.5分)What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．The details of the image. B．The daily life of the man. C．The cause of the eruption. D．The features of Pompeii. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Volcano Ruined the Ancient City Pompeii B．AI Recreated the Face of a Man in Pompeii C．Photos Record a Famous Volcanic Eruption D．AI Helps Scientists Study Ancient Disasters 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】本文介绍庞贝古城考古遗址的考古学家与研究人员首次运用人工智能，数字重建了公元79年维苏威火山爆发中遇难男子的面部样貌，阐述了这一AI生成肖像的背景与具体信息，为研究这场著名自然灾害提供了新途径。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Archaeologists and researchers at the ancient Roman site of Pompeii have used artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time to digitally rebuild the face of a man killed in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius that covered the city, offering a new way to understand one of history’s most famous natural disasters.(古罗马庞贝遗址的考古学家和研究人员首次使用人工智能(AI)数字重建了在公元79年掩埋这座城市的维苏威火山爆发中遇难的一名男子的面部，这为了解历史上最著名的自然灾害之一提供了一种新方法)”可知，这张图片能够帮助研究摧毁庞贝古城的火山爆发。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段“The digital picture shows a man whose remains, along with those of another person, were discovered was trying to get away from the city toward the coast of what is now Italy during the volcanic eruption. (这张数字图像显示，这名男子在火山爆发期间正试图逃离这座城市，前往现在意大利的海岸，他和另一人的遗体一同被发现)”可知，图中的男子正从庞贝古城逃跑。 34．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The announcement shows the AI-generated image of what the man could have looked like. He is shown running along a rough, debris-covered road, holding a large, shallow bowl over his head and using it as a shield while Mount Vesuvius is seen erupting in the background. The man was also carrying an oil lamp, a small iron ring and 10 bronze coins, personal objects that offer insight into his last moments as well as into daily life in Pompeii before the disaster.(公告展示了AI生成的这名男子原本可能相貌的图像。图像中，他沿着布满碎石的崎岖道路奔跑，把一个大浅碗顶在头上当作盾牌，背景中可以看到维苏威火山正在喷发。这名男子还随身带着一盏油灯、一个小铁环和10枚铜币，这些个人物品让人们得以了解他生命的最后时刻，以及灾难发生前庞贝的日常生活)”可知，第四段主要介绍了这张AI生成图像的细节。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Archaeologists and researchers at the ancient Roman site of Pompeii have used artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time to digitally rebuild the face of a man killed in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius that covered the city(古罗马庞贝遗址的考古学家和研究人员首次使用人工智能(AI)数字重建了在公元79年掩埋这座城市的维苏威火山爆发中遇难的一名男子的面部)”并结合全文内容可知，本文围绕人工智能重建庞贝遇难男子面部这一核心事件展开，“AI Recreated the Face of a Man in Pompeii(人工智能重现了庞贝一名男子的面容)”最适合作为文章标题。 （本题12.5分）A Real Job at School In Bowling Green, Kentucky, high school students are not just learning about computers — they’re fixing them for real. The school district has a student-run team that repairs broken Chromebooks. Here’s how it works. When a teacher finds a broken Chromebook, he or she submits an online repair ticket. Students on the team then diagnose the problem, replace broken parts, and test the device. 36(2.5分) It usually takes just a few days. The benefits for the school are clear. First, it saves money. The district avoids paying expensive repair fees to outside companies. 37(2.5分) Second, it’s much faster. Sending devices out for repair could take weeks, but the student team gets them back in action quickly. It also frees up the district’s IT staff, letting them focus on bigger projects. 38(2.5分) They earn class credit for their work. Even better, they can get paid $10 an hour. “We take a step back and let the kids do what they do,” said Megan Marcum, the district’s digital learning coach. 39(2.5分) They learn to communicate clearly with teachers about repair progress, manage their time to meet deadlines, and solve problems independently. The program has been running smoothly for 10 years. Students train the next generation of the team, creating a reliable talent pipeline for the district’s IT department. Many former team members have even gone on to pursue tech-related careers after graduation. 40(2.5分) A．Only parts and labor are paid for. B．Students gain the most from the program. C．It only costs extra money to buy a new device. D．When done, they tell the teacher the device is ready. E．It’s truly a win-win project for both school and students.

Many former team members have even gone on to pursue tech-related careers after graduation.(老队员会带教团队的新生力量，为学区信息技术部门搭建起稳定可靠的人才输送渠道。不少曾经参与该项目的学生毕业后，甚至选择投身科技相关行业。)”可推知：尾段尾句需要总结全文，升华主题，点明项目的双赢价值；选项E“It’s truly a win-win project for both school and students.(这对学校和学生来说，确实是一个双赢的项目。)”完美总结全文主旨。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Notre Dame Cathedral reopened on Sunday and the cathedral’s Grand Organ (大型管风琴), which is three stories tall and has about 8,000 pipes, became an immediate 41 at the ceremony.

The most 46 part came when it was to be reinstalled and harmonized at a 47 worksite. “Each pipe had to be harmonized with the neighboring pipes. We needed absolute 48 ,” Latry said. “So for six months, we had to wake up late at night to work in the cathedral.” The instrument has been and still is the 49 of the cathedral. So a special “wake-up” ceremony for the organ was 50 on Saturday evening. “The ‘wake-up’ of the organ was something really incredible,” Latry noted. “Eight times the archbishop (主教) called to the 51 .

We 56(1.5分) (meet) at the school gate at 7:30 in the morning. Before we left, some safety advice 57(1.5分) (give) to us by our teacher, who also reminded us to stay with our group. After about 58(1.5分) hour’s bus ride, we arrived at the park. A friendly guide welcomed us 59(1.5分) (warm) and led us along a forest path. As we walked, we learned about the different 60(1.5分) (function) of trees, such as keeping the air clean and providing homes for animals. The guide also asked us to notice how different plants adapted to their surroundings and record our observations in a small notebook. At noon, we shared food 61(1.5分) our classmates beside a small lake. In the afternoon, we joined a 62(1.5分) (meaning) activity and planted young trees by 63(1.5分) (we). Although digging holes was tiring, everyone worked carefully. The guide explained that the trees would need years of care and encouraged us 64(1.5分) (protect) the environment through small daily actions. Before leaving, we not only collected bottles and paper 65(1.5分) also reminded other visitors to keep the park clean. On the way home, we discussed what we had learned. The trip was more than a day outdoors; it helped us understand that protecting nature requires both knowledge and action. 【答案】 56．met 57．was given 58．an 59．warmly 60．functions 61．with 62．meaningful 63．ourselves 64．to protect 65．but 【导语】主要讲述上周六班级去青山公园开展学校旅行，同学们了解树木知识、植树并进行环保活动的经历。 【详解】56．考查动词时态。句意：我们早上七点半在校门口集合。此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语Last Saturday可知，动作发生在过去，要用一般过去时，meet的过去式为met。 57．考查动词语态。句意：在我们出发前，老师给我们提了一些安全建议，还提醒我们不要脱离队伍。此处为谓语动词，事情发生在过去，所以用一般过去时态，主语some safety advice和give之间是被动关系，所以使用一般过去时态的被动语态，advice为不可数名词，所以谓语动词为was given。 58．考查冠词。句意：经过大约一小时的巴士车程，我们到达了公园。hour为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表示“一小时的车程”，为泛指意义，且hour是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词an。 59．考查副词。句意：一位友好的导游热情地欢迎我们，并带领我们沿着林间小路前行。此处修饰谓语动词welcomed，修饰动词需要使用副词，形容词warm的副词形式为warmly。 60．考查名词复数。句意：我们边走边了解树木的不同功能，例如净化空气以及为动物提供栖息地。different后接可数名词复数，function的复数形式为functions。 61．考查介词。句意：中午，我们在一个小湖边和同学们分享食物。此处为固定搭配share sth. with sb.，意为“和某人分享某物”，所以此处为介词with。 62．考查形容词。句意：下午，我们参加了一项有意义的活动，亲手栽种小树苗。此处修饰名词activity，需要使用形容词，名词meaning的形容词形式为meaningful。 63．考查代词。句意：下午，我们参加了一项有意义的活动，亲手栽种小树苗。此处为固定搭配by oneself，意为“独自，亲自”，主语是we，对应的反身代词为ourselves。 64．考查非谓语动词。句意：导游解释说这些树木需要多年养护，并鼓励我们通过日常小事保护环境。此处为固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth.，意为“鼓励某人做某事”，所以用动词不定式形式to protect作宾补。 65．考查连词。句意：离开前，我们不仅收集瓶子和纸张，还提醒其他游客保持公园整洁。此处为固定搭配not only...but also...，意为“不仅……而且……”，所以此处填连词but。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）市电视台的英语频道正在征集Vlog短视频素材，筹备主题为“走进广州”（A Walk in Guangzhou）的英语节目。请你写一封邮件，附上自己拍摄的视频，并在邮件中介绍其内容，包括： 1．拍摄场景（地点、人物、活动等）； 2．选材原因。 注意： 1．词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to contribute a video that I believe captures the essence of A Walk in Guangzhou and would be a valuable addition to your upcoming English program.

As a high school student who had won several English competition awards in junior high school, I was filled with overconfidence and even skipped some voluntary practice sessions organized by the English teacher. My classmate Lily, who was also a participant in the contest and always took every chance to practice, reminded me several times after class to spend more time polishing my speech and practicing my pronunciation. But I just brushed her off casually every time, saying I had everything under control and that a little practice on the eve of the contest would be enough. Weeks passed quickly, and the contest was just around the corner. The night before it, I finally sat down at my desk to prepare my speech carefully. To my great horror, I found I could barely remember the key points I had drafted before, and my pronunciation of some long and complex sentences was still awkward and not fluent. I tried to go over the content overnight, but great anxiety made it hard for me to focus my attention. On the day of the contest, I walked into the school hall with a heavy heart and stood backstage nervously, my hands sweating heavily and my heart beating wildly in my chest. When I saw Lily standing aside, calmly practicing her speech with a clear mind and a steady voice, I felt a strong sense of regret for not taking her advice and being so careless about the contest. Just as the host called my name loudly and I was about to step onto the stage, I accidentally knocked over a water bottle on the table beside me, and the water wet my speech notes. The paper became soft and the words were all blurred. I froze on the spot, my mind going totally blank with no idea what to do next. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, Lily rushed over to me with a piece of white paper and a pen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After finishing the speech, I walked off the stage with a heavy heart. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Just then, Lily rushed over to me with a piece of white paper and a pen. She patted my shoulder gently to calm me down and said in a soft voice, “Don’t panic! I’ve listened to you practice your speech and I remember the main outline clearly. Let’s write it down together quickly.” Her warm and encouraging words calmed my racing heart a little. With her quick help, I jotted down the key points of the speech in just two minutes. She also reminded me to speak slowly and take deep breaths. Before I went on stage, she gave me a big smile and a thumbs-up, which gave me the courage to step forward with confidence. After finishing the speech, I walked off the stage with a heavy heart. I knew I hadn’t performed my best because of my overconfidence and carelessness, and many parts of the speech were not expressed as well as I had expected. I walked straight to Lily and thanked her sincerely, apologizing for ignoring her kind advice before the contest. To my surprise, she shook her head and smiled softly, “It’s okay! You tried your best to finish it, and that’s what really matters. We all make mistakes, and the key is to learn a lesson from them.” Later, when the results came out, I didn’t win a prize, but I gained more than an award. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者报名参加学校英语演讲比赛，凭借初中获奖经历过度自信，无视同学Lily多次提醒，疏于练习。赛前一晚作者才发现演讲稿记不熟、发音不流畅；比赛当天，作者在上台前不慎碰倒水瓶，演讲稿被水浸湿字迹模糊，大脑一片空白。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Lily安慰作者，快速帮作者写下演讲要点，鼓励作者登台的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者自知发挥不佳，向Lily道谢并道歉，从这件事中收获成长感悟。 2.续写线索：Lily赶来安慰——快速写下要点——登台演讲——下台愧疚——向Lily道歉——吸取教训、收获成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①快速记下：write down/note down/put down ②深呼吸：take deep breaths/breathe deeply 情绪类 ①焦虑的：panic/anxious/nervous ②感谢某人：thank sb/show gratitude to sb/express thanks to sb 【点睛】[高分句型1] Before I went on stage, she gave me a big smile and a thumbs-up, which gave me the courage to step forward with confidence.

This finding has the potential to transform future agricultural practices. The discovery, published in the latest issue of Science, explains how plants and bacteria identify the perfect partner, paving the way for engineered crops that may one day need far less chemical fertilizer. The study explains how legumes such as soybeans and peas identify and form partnerships with specific nitrogen-fixing bacteria — bacteria that help convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for the plant. These interactions result in the formation of root nodules (根瘤), which act as natural fertilizer factories. Within these nodules, the plants provide sugars to the bacteria, while the bacteria, in turn, supply the plants with fixed nitrogen. A long-standing mystery has been how plant roots, surrounded by countless microorganisms, selectively allow only compatible nitrogen-fixing bacteria to enter. This process begins with plant-secreted chemicals called flavonoids, but the exact mechanism of recognition has remained unclear. However, a collaborative team led by researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences (CEMPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has solved this puzzle. By determining the detailed 3D structure of a key bacterial protein called NodD bound to a flavonoid signal, they unveiled the exact “lock-and-key” fit that enables specific partner selection. The team identified unique regions in NodD that act as a selective filter, ensuring each bacterial strain responds only to the flavonoid signal produced by its specific host plant. According to the study, the findings open new pathways for designing more efficient symbiotic systems. In the future, scientists may engineer nitrogen-fixing bacteria to partner with a broader range of crops — including cereals like rice and wheat, which do not naturally form such relationships. “This brings us closer to reducing agriculture’s reliance on man-made nitrogen fertilizers,” said Zhang Yu, a researcher at CEMPS. “By understanding this recognition process, we can explore creating new beneficial partnerships between plants and microorganisms.” The research not only decodes a fundamental dialogue in nature but also lays a scientific foundation for designing greener, more sustainable farming systems worldwide, Zhang added. 24．(2.5分)What is the main potential impact of the new discovery on agriculture? A．It will completely replace chemical fertilizers in farming. B．It may lead to crops needing much less chemical fertilizer. C．It allows all plants to form partnerships with bacteria naturally. D．It explains why only legumes can use atmospheric nitrogen. 25．(2.5分)What is the function of root nodules in legumes? A．They produce sugars for the plant. B．They act as natural fertilizer factories. C．They protect plants from harmful bacteria. D．They help plants absorb water from the soil. 26．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the “lock-and-key” fit mentioned in the study? A．It allows any bacteria to enter plant roots. B．It ensures only specific bacteria respond to their host plant’s signal. C．It is a physical structure found on the surface of roots. D．It prevents all microorganisms from interacting with plants. 27．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a new type of chemical fertilizer. B．To explain how plants produce flavonoids. C．To report a scientific breakthrough in plant-bacteria partnership. D．To compare different types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. （本题10分）In Chengdu, China, an elevated walkway winds through thick bamboo forest, overlooking a sunken football field. Surrounding this scene is West Village, a multi-level complex of streets, studios, restaurants, and more. This innovative urban landscape is the creation of architect Liu Jiakun, recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. His work, deeply rooted in local culture and context, has transformed urban spaces in China. Liu Jiakun, born in 1956, is only the second Chinese architect to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize. His work, mostly concentrated in Sichuan Province, ranges from museums to public spaces. Unlike many contemporary architects, Liu’s designs avoid complexity, focusing instead on creating meaningful backdrops for everyday life. “I became an architect by accident,” Liu says. After a brief period at a state-run design institute, he spent a decade in Xizang and Xinjiang, exploring writing and painting. His novel, Bright Moonlight Plan, described an architect’s struggle to build an ideal town. Liu believes architecture and literature share a deep connection, both requiring patience and attention to human behavior. Returning to architecture in middle age, Liu gained national attention after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. He created “rebirth bricks” using local broken bricks, wheat fiber, and concrete, a poetic metaphor for material and spiritual rebirth. These bricks became a signature in his work, notably at the Shuijingfang Museum, an extension to a historic factory in Chengdu. Completed in 2013, the museum combined grey bricks with bamboo-imprinted concrete, creating a unique human touch. West Village, completed in 2015, is Liu’s most ambitious project. Covering an entire city block, it integrates sports facilities, restaurants, galleries, and more. Liu describes it as a “big Sichuan hotpot,” combining every aspect of city life. Despite initial challenges, the complex has gradually come to life, showcasing Liu’s vision of an urban utopia (乌托邦). Liu’s philosophy is to be like water, permeating (渗透) through a place without a fixed form. His architecture aims to integrate into the local environment, solidifying over time into structures that preserve the essence of their surroundings. 28．(2.5分)What sets Liu Jiakun’s architectural work apart? A．A unique location. B．Natural surroundings. C．Elegantly framed structures. D．A culturally rooted design. 29．(2.5分)How does Liu’s literature background influence his architecture? A．It changes an old bond. B．It brings a human touch. C．It lights local perception. D．It stresses social concerns. 30．(2.5分)Why did Liu’s design feature “rebirth bricks” after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake? A．To lower expenses. B．To upgrade materials. C．To symbolize renewal. D．To pioneer a new design. 31．(2.5分)What does West Village illustrate about Liu Jiakun’s architectural philosophy? A．His vision of integrating rich urban life. B．His preference for isolated buildings. C．His reliance on reinvented materials. D．His disregard for community needs. （本题10分）Archaeologists and researchers at the ancient Roman site of Pompeii have used artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time to digitally rebuild the face of a man killed in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius that covered the city, offering a new way to understand one of history’s most famous natural disasters. The digital picture shows a man whose remains, along with those of another person, were discovered，was trying to get away from the city toward the coast of what is now Italy during the volcanic eruption. Researchers believe the man died early in the disaster, during a heavy fall of volcanic material. The rebuilding was done by the Pompeii Archaeological Park, which announced on its website that it was done with the University of Padua and based on archaeological survey data from digs near the Porta Stabia burial ground, just outside the walls of the ancient city. The announcement shows the AI-generated image of what the man could have looked like. He is shown running along a rough, debris-covered road, holding a large, shallow bowl over his head and using it as a shield while Mount Vesuvius is seen erupting in the background. The man was also carrying an oil lamp, a small iron ring and 10 bronze coins, personal objects that offer insight into his last moments as well as into daily life in Pompeii before the disaster. Pompeii, a UNESCO World Heritage site near Naples, was buried under ash and pumice when Vesuvius erupted nearly 2,000 years ago, keeping the city and the remains of thousands of its people in very fine detail. Old accounts, including those of Roman writer Pliny the Younger, describe Pompeii’s residents using objects to protect themselves as ash and debris covered the city. The digital picture was created by using AI and photo-editing techniques designed to turn skeletal and archaeological data into a realistic human likeness. 32．(2.5分)In what aspect can the picture offer help? A．Finding more ancient remains near Pompeii. B．Rebuilding the old walls and ground of Pompeii. C．Showing the daily diet of the people in Pompeii. D．Studying the volcanic eruption destroying Pompeii. 33．(2.5分)What was the man in the picture doing? A．Cooking his food. B．Observing the volcano. C．Escaping from Pompeii. D．Collecting volcanic material. 34．(2.5分)What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．The details of the image. B．The daily life of the man. C．The cause of the eruption. D．The features of Pompeii. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Volcano Ruined the Ancient City Pompeii B．AI Recreated the Face of a Man in Pompeii C．Photos Record a Famous Volcanic Eruption D．AI Helps Scientists Study Ancient Disasters （本题12.5分）A Real Job at School In Bowling Green, Kentucky, high school students are not just learning about computers — they’re fixing them for real. The school district has a student-run team that repairs broken Chromebooks. Here’s how it works. When a teacher finds a broken Chromebook, he or she submits an online repair ticket. Students on the team then diagnose the problem, replace broken parts, and test the device. 36(2.5分) It usually takes just a few days. The benefits for the school are clear. First, it saves money. The district avoids paying expensive repair fees to outside companies. 37(2.5分) Second, it’s much faster. Sending devices out for repair could take weeks, but the student team gets them back in action quickly. It also frees up the district’s IT staff, letting them focus on bigger projects. 38(2.5分) They earn class credit for their work. Even better, they can get paid $10 an hour. “We take a step back and let the kids do what they do,” said Megan Marcum, the district’s digital learning coach. 39(2.5分) They learn to communicate clearly with teachers about repair progress, manage their time to meet deadlines, and solve problems independently. The program has been running smoothly for 10 years. Students train the next generation of the team, creating a reliable talent pipeline for the district’s IT department. Many former team members have even gone on to pursue tech-related careers after graduation. 40(2.5分) A．Only parts and labor are paid for. B．Students gain the most from the program. C．It only costs extra money to buy a new device. D．When done, they tell the teacher the device is ready. E．It’s truly a win-win project for both school and students. F．Apart from grades and pay, students gain more practical skills. G．In addition to praise and money, students take free courses. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Notre Dame Cathedral reopened on Sunday and the cathedral’s Grand Organ (大型管风琴), which is three stories tall and has about 8,000 pipes, became an immediate 41 at the ceremony. The 42 music instrument was installed (安装) in the cathedral in 1730, and over the centuries it has been upgraded many times. “I’ll never forget the 43 I felt when I discovered that the Grand Organ was not 44 ,” recalled Olivier Latry, who started working as an organist in the church 40 years ago and played the instrument the day before the fire that destroyed the cathedral in 2019. “But it was filled with dust.” After the fire, the organ was 45 piece by piece, removed from the cathedral and cleaned. The most 46 part came when it was to be reinstalled and harmonized at a 47 worksite. “Each pipe had to be harmonized with the neighboring pipes. We needed absolute 48 ,” Latry said. “So for six months, we had to wake up late at night to work in the cathedral.” The instrument has been and still is the 49 of the cathedral. So a special “wake-up” ceremony for the organ was 50 on Saturday evening. “The ‘wake-up’ of the organ was something really incredible,” Latry noted. “Eight times the archbishop (主教) called to the 51 . The first one, for example, was, ‘Organ, awake!’ Eight 52 commands were used. Each time we had to find the right music to 53 to the various commands. It is the true mission of an organist to do it 54 .

We 56(1.5分) (meet) at the school gate at 7:30 in the morning. Before we left, some safety advice 57(1.5分) (give) to us by our teacher, who also reminded us to stay with our group. After about 58(1.5分) hour’s bus ride, we arrived at the park. A friendly guide welcomed us 59(1.5分) (warm) and led us along a forest path. As we walked, we learned about the different 60(1.5分) (function) of trees, such as keeping the air clean and providing homes for animals. The guide also asked us to notice how different plants adapted to their surroundings and record our observations in a small notebook. At noon, we shared food 61(1.5分) our classmates beside a small lake. In the afternoon, we joined a 62(1.5分) (meaning) activity and planted young trees by 63(1.5分) (we). Although digging holes was tiring, everyone worked carefully. The guide explained that the trees would need years of care and encouraged us 64(1.5分) (protect) the environment through small daily actions. Before leaving, we not only collected bottles and paper 65(1.5分) also reminded other visitors to keep the park clean. On the way home, we discussed what we had learned.

As a high school student who had won several English competition awards in junior high school, I was filled with overconfidence and even skipped some voluntary practice sessions organized by the English teacher. My classmate Lily, who was also a participant in the contest and always took every chance to practice, reminded me several times after class to spend more time polishing my speech and practicing my pronunciation. But I just brushed her off casually every time, saying I had everything under control and that a little practice on the eve of the contest would be enough. Weeks passed quickly, and the contest was just around the corner. The night before it, I finally sat down at my desk to prepare my speech carefully. To my great horror, I found I could barely remember the key points I had drafted before, and my pronunciation of some long and complex sentences was still awkward and not fluent. I tried to go over the content overnight, but great anxiety made it hard for me to focus my attention. On the day of the contest, I walked into the school hall with a heavy heart and stood backstage nervously, my hands sweating heavily and my heart beating wildly in my chest. When I saw Lily standing aside, calmly practicing her speech with a clear mind and a steady voice, I felt a strong sense of regret for not taking her advice and being so careless about the contest. Just as the host called my name loudly and I was about to step onto the stage, I accidentally knocked over a water bottle on the table beside me, and the water wet my speech notes. The paper became soft and the words were all blurred. I froze on the spot, my mind going totally blank with no idea what to do next. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, Lily rushed over to me with a piece of white paper and a pen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After finishing the speech, I walked off the stage with a heavy heart. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。If you are on this T, V show, what topic would you answer questions on?
