As a teacher, I help connect people and create opportunities through the program. W: Now, workers and parents come in the late afternoons and evenings. Do they take specialty night classes related to their jobs? M: Of course! We expected business-plan writing to be most popular, but the surprise hits have been both literature and professional skills. Most adults want a space to read novels and discuss them together. W: That’s inspiring. And part of the exchange is that while adults study here, students volunteer and learn at local workplaces. Is that right? M: Yes. For now, most students donate time at city hall and other public offices. Over time, we’ll add placements with businesses and even agriculture projects. W: What a valuable way for students to meet decision-makers and build real connections! M: Exactly. Beyond teaching career skills, we aim to act as a bridge between different local groups. （本题4.5分）听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18．(1.5分)What will guests see in the hallway to the dining room? A．Beautiful trees.

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 the middle of Zagreb, Croatia, there’s a new kind of museum called HaHaHouse that helps people forget about their worries. When they go in, they walk through some white smoke that’s supposed to make them feel better. Then they go through a large passage shaped like the drum (滚筒) in a washing machine and slide down into a room full of small white balls where they start having fun. A woman named Andrea Golubic came up with the idea for this museum. She was inspired by an old photo of herself when she was a kid. She told a news agency called AFP that she had the idea because she wanted to make people feel better with laughter. She said the idea came from her heart and it happened really fast. When people go into the museum, they can push a button that says it will clean away bad feelings. Then they can explore eight different areas where they can play. One area has rubber chickens that sing famous joyful songs. Another area has a karaoke room where their voice sounds funny. There’s also a place where they can pretend to wrestle while wearing big, fluffy (蓬松的) clothes. The museum also teaches people the history of humor, from a long time ago to today, through plays, movies, and the Internet. It explains different types of humor, like word play, silly actions, dark humor, and making fun of things in a smart way. Golubic made HaHaHouse fun for everyone, no matter how old they are. Grown-ups say it’s nice to act like kids again, and many leave feeling happier. A man named Bruno Dadic, who is retired, said he was glad he went because “there can never be too much humor in life. Laughter is good for the soul”. A psychologist named Petar Kraljevic thinks laughter is very powerful and can help people deal with their troubles. He said if doctors could tell their patients to laugh more every day, it would be very good for them. HaHaHouse is more than just a place to visit; it’s a special place where laughter helps people feel better. 28．(2.5分)What do visitors first experience at HaHaHouse? A．White smoke. B．A giant slide. C．A karaoke room. D．Rubber chickens. 29．(2.5分)Why did Golubic create HaHaHouse? A．To promote tourism. B．To teach modern art. C．To spread joy and laughter. D．To encourage exercise. 30．(2.5分)Where can visitors hear cheerful music? A．In the karaoke room. B．In the wrestling area. C．In the rubber chicken zone. D．In the white ball pool. 31．(2.5分)What is HaHaHouse mainly about? A．History of humor. B．Fun through laughter. C．Famous comedians. D．Kids’ entertainment. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．C 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍克罗地亚萨格勒布的新型哈哈屋博物馆，详细介绍其参观流程、创建初衷、趣味区域、幽默历史科普及对人们的积极影响，核心是通过欢笑帮助人们缓解烦恼、获得快乐。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When they go in, they walk through some white smoke that’s supposed to make them feel better. Then they go through a large passage shaped like the drum (滚筒) in a washing machine and slide down into a room full of small white balls where they start having fun.(当他们进去时，会穿过一些白色烟雾，这应该会让他们感觉更好。然后他们会穿过一个形状像洗衣机滚筒的大通道，滑进一个满是白色小球的房间，在那里开始玩乐。)”可知，游客进入哈哈屋后，首先经历的是穿过白色烟雾，之后才会体验滚筒通道、白色小球房间，而卡拉OK室和橡胶鸡区域是后续探索的趣味区域，因此，游客在哈哈屋首先体验到的是白色烟雾。故选A项。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A woman named Andrea Golubic came up with the idea for this museum. She was inspired by an old photo of herself when she was a kid. She told a news agency called AFP that she had the idea because she wanted to make people feel better with laughter. She said the idea came from her heart and it happened really fast.(一个名叫安德里亚·戈卢比奇的女人想出了这个博物馆的主意。她的灵感来自一张自己小时候的旧照片。她告诉法新社，她有这个想法是因为她想用笑声让人们感觉更好。她说这个想法来自她的内心，而且产生得非常快。)”可知，戈卢比奇创建哈哈屋的初衷并非促进旅游业、教授现代艺术或鼓励运动，而是源于自身的灵感，希望通过笑声缓解人们的烦恼，让人们感觉更愉悦，核心是传递欢乐与笑声。故选C项。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When people go into the museum, they can push a button that says it will clean away bad feelings. Then they can explore eight different areas where they can play. One area has rubber chickens that sing famous joyful songs. Another area has a karaoke room where their voice sounds funny. There’s also a place where they can pretend to wrestle while wearing big, fluffy (蓬松的) clothes.(当人们进入博物馆时，他们可以按下一个按钮，上面写着可以清除坏情绪。然后他们可以探索八个不同的玩乐区域。有一个区域摆放着会演唱著名欢快歌曲的橡胶鸡。另一个区域有一个卡拉 OK 室，在那里他们的声音听起来很滑稽。还有一个地方，他们可以穿着又大又蓬松的衣服假装摔跤。)”可知，只有橡胶鸡区域的橡胶鸡会演唱著名的欢快歌曲，游客可以在那里听到欢快的音乐。故选C项。 31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“In the middle of Zagreb, Croatia, there’s a new kind of museum called HaHaHouse that helps people forget about their worries. (在克罗地亚的萨格勒布市中心，有一家名为“哈哈屋”的新型博物馆，能帮助人们忘却烦恼。)”以及最后一段中的“HaHaHouse is more than just a place to visit; it’s a special place where laughter helps people feel better.(哈哈屋不仅仅是一个可供参观的地方；它是一个特别的地方，笑声能让人们感觉更好。)”可知，文章围绕哈哈屋展开，核心是通过各种趣味互动和笑声，让人们获得快乐、缓解烦恼，因此，哈哈屋主要是关于通过欢笑获得乐趣的。故选B项。 （本题10分）Margaret Mead, the most famous anthropologist (人类学家) in the world, was born in the USA in 1901. After studying psychology as an undergraduate, Mead began a PhD in the relatively new field of anthropology. Mead was particularly interested in primitive (原始的) communities because she believed that such cultures cut off from the outside could serve as “laboratories” that would reveal ways of living that the modern world had forgotten about but needed to remember. Having travelled to Samoa, a few tiny volcanic islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean, Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones. For example, Americans tend to think of men as productive and forceful, while women are often told they’re more peaceful and caring. But in her 1935 book, Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, Mead studied tribes (部落) in Papua New Guinea and recorded that in the Arapesh tribe, both men and women were peaceful and caring, while among the Mundugumor tribe, men and women were both unkind and cruel. Mead’s striking conclusion is that it isn’t gender that makes women listen to people’s feelings, or race that makes some nations regularly attack their neighbors. Rather, it’s the established social rules and public expectations that have laid the groundwork for each individual’s psychological makeup. “We must recognize,” she reminded her readers, “that beneath the superficial (表面上的) classifications of sex and race, the same talents always exist, occurring again generation after generation, only to perish because society has no place for them.” Margaret Mead died in 1978. A year later, the president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, honored the social scientist with America’s highest award for civilians. 32．(2.5分)Why was Margaret Mead fascinated by primitive communities? A．They follow strict social rules. B．They feature a diverse culture. C．They uncover some lost lifestyles. D．They hold value for financial study. 33．(2.5分)Why does the writer mention two tribes in Papua New Guinea? A．To highlight their gender prejudice. B．To explain their fixed social structure. C．To compare their living environments. D．To show their loose rules on gender role. 34．(2.5分)What shapes people’s personalities according to Mead’s research? A．People’s inborn talents. B．Long-held social customs. C．Individuals’ expectation. D．Classification of sex and race. 35．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “perish” in Paragraph 3 properly mean? A．Fade away. B．Give away. C．Carry on. D．Figure out. 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．B 35．A 【导语】本文介绍人类学家米德的研究，探究原始部落性别角色，指出社会规则塑造人格，打破性别种族固有认知。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Mead was particularly interested in primitive (原始的) communities because she believed that such cultures cut off from the outside could serve as “laboratories” that would reveal ways of living that the modern world had forgotten about but needed to remember.(米德对原始群落格外感兴趣，因为她认为这些与世隔绝的文化可以充当“实验室”，能够揭示现代社会已经遗忘却需要重拾的生活方式)”可知，米德痴迷原始群落，是因为它们能揭示现代社会遗失的生活方式。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段“Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones.(米德逐渐对性别角色产生兴趣，并发现现代社会在这方面比原始社会严格得多)”以及后文列举两个部落男女无固定性格定式的例子可知，作者列举巴布亚新几内亚部落，是为了证明原始社会的性别角色规则更为宽松，打破现代固化性别认知。 34．细节理解题。根据第三段 “Rather, it’s the established social rules and public expectations that have laid the groundwork for each individual’s psychological makeup.(相反，是既定的社会规则和公众期待为每个人的心理特质奠定了基础)”可知，长期形成的社会习俗塑造了人的性格。 35．词句猜测题。根据第三段“We must recognize that beneath the superficial classifications of sex and race, the same talents always exist, occurring again generation after generation, only to perish because society has no place for them.(我们必须认识到，在性别和种族的表层分类之下，相同的天赋一直存在，代代相传，只因社会没有适配的空间而perish)”可知，相同的天赋因为没有适配的空间而最终消亡。故猜测perish意为“消亡、消失”，与fade away同义。 （本题12.5分）Judging a Book by Its Cover The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor. It means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone. 36(2.5分) I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover, but please don’t ignore the cover either. The cover is the all-important first impression. Everything on that cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to persuade you to buy and read the book. 37(2.5分) From the cover you learn the title and author, either of which might be enough to convince you to read it. There’s also a plot summary on the back, and maybe some reviews. The cover picture, colors, and font (字体) style all give a potential reader an idea of what the book is about. As an author, I recognize the need for an impressive cover. Several years ago, I published Under the Almond Trees. 38(2.5分) I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. Later, though, I realized something was missing. I liked the blue sky, the blossoms on the trees, the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!” 39(2.5分) I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her resulting design was similar. The almond trees were still there, as was the horse and cart. The colors and font were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was breathtaking. It was even a finalist in a cover design competition. So whether you are told to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging occurs. A potential reader decides whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information. 40(2.5分) A．So I hired a different designer to undo it. B．But the proverb doesn’t tell the whole story. C．In fact, many authors underestimate the cover design. D．Therefore, it’s important to remember that the cover matters. E．The cover is only part of the book, but it’s an important part. F．A truly great story, however, will always succeed regardless of its cover. G．I asked a cover designer to use an old photo as the model for the cover. 【答案】36．B 37．E 38．G 39．A 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了“不要以貌取人”这句谚语在图书领域的应用，作者通过个人经历论证了封面设计对图书的重要性，指出封面虽不是全部，但却是影响读者决策的重要部分。 【详解】36．根据上文“The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor. It means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone. (英语习语“不要以貌取人”是一个比喻的说法。其含义是，人们不应仅仅根据事物的外表来评判其价值或意义)”可知，文章开篇引出谚语及其含义，和下文“I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover, but please don’t ignore the cover either.(我同意不能仅仅根据封面来评判一本书，但同时也不应忽视封面的作用)”可知，作者表示部分赞同并提出转折观点，故空格处需起到承上启下的作用。B选项“But the proverb doesn’t tell the whole story.(但这个谚语并没有说明全部真相)”中的“But“形成语义转折，一方面承接了谚语本身，另一方面自然地引出了作者认为该观点不全面的论述，为下文的展开奠定了基调。故选B。 37．根据上文“The cover is the all-important first impression. Everything on that cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to persuade you to buy and read the book.(封面是至关重要的第一印象。封面的正反两面所呈现的一切，都是经过精心设计的，目的是为了说服你购买并阅读这本书)”可知，强调封面的重要性，结合下文“From the cover you learn the title and author, either of which might be enough to convince you to read it. There’s also a plot summary on the back, and maybe some reviews. The cover picture, colors, and font (字体) style all give a potential reader an idea of what the book is about.(从封面上，你可以了解到书名和作者，这两者中的任何一个都可能足以让你决定去阅读这本书。封底上还有一段简短的故事情节概述，或许还有一些书评。封面图片、颜色和字体风格都能让潜在读者对这本书的内容有个大致的了解)”可知，下文具体列举封面提供的各类信息，是对空格处观点的详细阐释和例证。E选项“封面只是书的一部分，但它是重要的一部分”精准地概括了该段的核心思想。“only part”与“important part”的转折结构，与上文“shouldn’t only… but don’t ignore…”的逻辑完美呼应，且“important part”是下文细节的总述。故选E。 38．根据下文“I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. (我想要彩色而不是黑白，并对结果很满意)”可推知，空格处需要描述一个让作者最初感到满意的、具体的封面设计决策。G选项“我要求封面设计师使用一张老照片作为封面的模型”明确交代了封面的设计灵感来源，正是这一具体行动产生了让她初期满意的“result”。选项中的“cover designer”也与本段首句“an impressive cover”形成词汇关联。故选G。 39．根据上文“Later, though, I realized something was missing. I liked the blue sky, the blossoms on the trees, the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!”(不过后来我意识到有些东西是缺失的。我喜欢那湛蓝的天空、树上的花朵、字体的颜色，但那种感觉就是没有那种“选我吧！”的强烈召唤力)”和下文“I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her resulting design was similar. The almond trees were still there, as was the horse and cart. The colors and font were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was breathtaking. It was even a finalist in a cover design competition.(我记得曾跟她说过我喜欢这个设计，但总觉得有些地方不太对劲。她最终完成的设计与我之前说的差不多。那些杏树还在，还有那匹马和马车。色彩和字体都更好了。这东西我根本无法用言语形容，但这个新封面实在太出色了。它甚至在封面设计比赛中获得了决赛入围资格)”可知，在发现不满后，作者采取了行动。A选项“所以我另雇了一位设计师来修正这个问题。”准确描述了这一关键举措。下文的“her”正是指代这位“different designer”。故选A。 40．根据上文“So whether you are told to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging occurs. A potential reader decides whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information.(所以，无论是否有人告诉你要“以貌取人”，我知道这种判断行为确实存在。潜在的读者会根据封面的信息来决定是否拿起一本书)”可知，这是作者在结合自身经历后得出的最终结论。空格位于篇末，需要是一个总结性的句子。D选项“因此，记住封面至关重要”中的“Therefore”是强有力的总结性信号词，“the cover matters”精准地提炼并重申了全文的中心论点，与文章开头和中间的论述形成首尾呼应，有力地升华了主题。故选D。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Paul Farmer was born in 1959, in North Adams, Mass.

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 the middle of Zagreb, Croatia, there’s a new kind of museum called HaHaHouse that helps people forget about their worries. When they go in, they walk through some white smoke that’s supposed to make them feel better. Then they go through a large passage shaped like the drum (滚筒) in a washing machine and slide down into a room full of small white balls where they start having fun. A woman named Andrea Golubic came up with the idea for this museum. She was inspired by an old photo of herself when she was a kid. She told a news agency called AFP that she had the idea because she wanted to make people feel better with laughter. She said the idea came from her heart and it happened really fast. When people go into the museum, they can push a button that says it will clean away bad feelings. Then they can explore eight different areas where they can play. One area has rubber chickens that sing famous joyful songs. Another area has a karaoke room where their voice sounds funny. There’s also a place where they can pretend to wrestle while wearing big, fluffy (蓬松的) clothes. The museum also teaches people the history of humor, from a long time ago to today, through plays, movies, and the Internet. It explains different types of humor, like word play, silly actions, dark humor, and making fun of things in a smart way. Golubic made HaHaHouse fun for everyone, no matter how old they are. Grown-ups say it’s nice to act like kids again, and many leave feeling happier. A man named Bruno Dadic, who is retired, said he was glad he went because “there can never be too much humor in life. Laughter is good for the soul”. A psychologist named Petar Kraljevic thinks laughter is very powerful and can help people deal with their troubles. He said if doctors could tell their patients to laugh more every day, it would be very good for them. HaHaHouse is more than just a place to visit; it’s a special place where laughter helps people feel better. 28．(2.5分)What do visitors first experience at HaHaHouse? A．White smoke. B．A giant slide. C．A karaoke room. D．Rubber chickens. 29．(2.5分)Why did Golubic create HaHaHouse? A．To promote tourism. B．To teach modern art. C．To spread joy and laughter. D．To encourage exercise. 30．(2.5分)Where can visitors hear cheerful music? A．In the karaoke room. B．In the wrestling area. C．In the rubber chicken zone. D．In the white ball pool. 31．(2.5分)What is HaHaHouse mainly about? A．History of humor. B．Fun through laughter. C．Famous comedians. D．Kids’ entertainment. （本题10分）Margaret Mead, the most famous anthropologist (人类学家) in the world, was born in the USA in 1901. After studying psychology as an undergraduate, Mead began a PhD in the relatively new field of anthropology. Mead was particularly interested in primitive (原始的) communities because she believed that such cultures cut off from the outside could serve as “laboratories” that would reveal ways of living that the modern world had forgotten about but needed to remember. Having travelled to Samoa, a few tiny volcanic islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean, Mead gradually got interested in gender roles and discovered that modern societies are far more strict in this area than primitive ones. For example, Americans tend to think of men as productive and forceful, while women are often told they’re more peaceful and caring. But in her 1935 book, Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, Mead studied tribes (部落) in Papua New Guinea and recorded that in the Arapesh tribe, both men and women were peaceful and caring, while among the Mundugumor tribe, men and women were both unkind and cruel. Mead’s striking conclusion is that it isn’t gender that makes women listen to people’s feelings, or race that makes some nations regularly attack their neighbors. Rather, it’s the established social rules and public expectations that have laid the groundwork for each individual’s psychological makeup. “We must recognize,” she reminded her readers, “that beneath the superficial (表面上的) classifications of sex and race, the same talents always exist, occurring again generation after generation, only to perish because society has no place for them.” Margaret Mead died in 1978. A year later, the president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, honored the social scientist with America’s highest award for civilians. 32．(2.5分)Why was Margaret Mead fascinated by primitive communities? A．They follow strict social rules. B．They feature a diverse culture. C．They uncover some lost lifestyles. D．They hold value for financial study. 33．(2.5分)Why does the writer mention two tribes in Papua New Guinea? A．To highlight their gender prejudice. B．To explain their fixed social structure. C．To compare their living environments. D．To show their loose rules on gender role. 34．(2.5分)What shapes people’s personalities according to Mead’s research? A．People’s inborn talents. B．Long-held social customs. C．Individuals’ expectation. D．Classification of sex and race. 35．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “perish” in Paragraph 3 properly mean? A．Fade away. B．Give away. C．Carry on. D．Figure out. （本题12.5分）Judging a Book by Its Cover The English idiom “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor. It means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone. 36(2.5分) I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover, but please don’t ignore the cover either. The cover is the all-important first impression. Everything on that cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to persuade you to buy and read the book. 37(2.5分) From the cover you learn the title and author, either of which might be enough to convince you to read it. There’s also a plot summary on the back, and maybe some reviews. The cover picture, colors, and font (字体) style all give a potential reader an idea of what the book is about. As an author, I recognize the need for an impressive cover. Several years ago, I published Under the Almond Trees. 38(2.5分) I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. Later, though, I realized something was missing. I liked the blue sky, the blossoms on the trees, the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!” 39(2.5分) I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her resulting design was similar. The almond trees were still there, as was the horse and cart. The colors and font were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was breathtaking. It was even a finalist in a cover design competition. So whether you are told to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging occurs. A potential reader decides whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information. 40(2.5分) A．So I hired a different designer to undo it. B．But the proverb doesn’t tell the whole story. C．In fact, many authors underestimate the cover design. D．Therefore, it’s important to remember that the cover matters. E．The cover is only part of the book, but it’s an important part. F．A truly great story, however, will always succeed regardless of its cover. G．I asked a cover designer to use an old photo as the model for the cover. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Paul Farmer was born in 1959, in North Adams, Mass.

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 $
