When Renee Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer fire fighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her beloved father died and she was never able to do volunteer work with him. However, Renee’s story didn’t end there. She was determined and never gave up, which makes for a good firefighter. Now Renee is a member of the Carmel Fire Department, where she is required to be an Emergency Medical Technician. She should also be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who’s sick. Sometimes she is in the driver’s seat or using the water pump. Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a family to care for, as her husband is also a busy fire fighter. Dealing with housework and working so much can show her great determination. When I asked Renee what the best part of her job was, she replied, “Helping people and saving lives.” I think that shows signs of being a true hero. She’s always willing to do anything for anyone in need. Renee says that her job is frightening at times, but extremely exciting. “The worst part of my job is that I see death. Actually, sometimes people die in the accident, for which I am very sorry.” With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women, but that doesn’t bother her. She says everyone can get a fair shot and do the same jobs. I was inspired by this because I knew I would be very scared to do her job and didn’t know if I could handle seeing people die. We would never live without people like her who have the courage to risk their lives. Renee’s determination rubs off on me and makes me believe that I can do anything. 24. What happened to Renee when she was fourteen? A. She got lost in a boat sailing. B. She dropped out of school. C. Her father passed away. D. Her dream to be a firefighter came true. 25. Why does the author believe Renee Butts is a true hero? A. She always tries her best to help anyone in need. B. She is one of the only three women in her station. C. She has been a firefighter for a long time. D. She feels sorry for the people dying in the accident. 26. How does Renee think of her job? A. Simple and pleasant. B. Frightening but exciting. C. Relaxing and comfortable. D. Challenging but promising. 27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Renee’s story is an inspiration to the author. B. The author feels very scared to do Renee’s job. C. The author could handle seeing people die. D. Renee encourages the author to risk the life. C Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in the restoration (修复) of Dunhuang murals (壁画). Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, located in Gansu Province, are home to more than 45,000 square meters of murals, some of which date back over 1,600 years. However, these precious artworks are facing threats from natural aging, climate change, and human activities. A team of researchers from Tsinghua University has developed an AI-based system to assist in mural restoration. The system first uses high-resolution cameras to document detailed images of the murals. Then, AI algorithms (算法) analyze the images to identify damaged areas, such as cracks, fading, and peeling. “AI can quickly and accurately detect even the smallest damages that are difficult for human eyes to spot,” said Professor Chen, the leader of the research team. After identifying the damaged areas, the AI system provides restoration suggestions based on historical data and the style of the murals. For example, if a color has faded, the AI can recommend the most appropriate color to match the original. The system also helps restorers simulate (模拟)the restoration effect before actual work begins, which reduces the risk of mistakes. “The AI system has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of mural restoration,” Professor Chen said. “What used to take restorers months to complete can now be done in a few weeks with the help of AI.” However, Professor Chen also pointed out that AI is only an assistant tool. “Human restorers still play a crucial role in making final decisions, as restoration requires not only technical skills but also a deep understanding of the cultural and historical background of the murals.” Some experts are concerned about the over-reliance on AI in cultural heritage restoration. “We should not let AI replace human judgment completely,” said Dr. Li, a cultural heritage expert. “The value of cultural heritage lies not only in its appearance but also in the human emotions and craftsmanship behind it.” 28. What is the main threat to Dunhuang murals mentioned in the text? A. Lack of research funds. B. Limited restoration technology. C. Natural aging and human actions. D. Lack of professional restorers. 29. What is the first step of the AI-based restoration system? A. Analyzing the damaged areas. B. Recording images of the murals in detail. C. Providing restoration suggestions. D. Simulating the effect of restoration. 30. Why is human involvement still important in mural restoration? A. AI fails to detect small damages. B. AI is too expensive to use widely. C. AI works more slowly than human restorers. D. AI lacks cultural and historical understanding. 31. What is Dr. Li’s attitude towards the use of AI in mural restoration? A. Strongly opposed. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious. D. Fully supportive. D Recent headlines have raised concerns about microplastics in our bodies and the harm they may be doing. “The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat — it’s in it,” said Richard Thompson, a marine biologist at the University of Plymouth. Microplastics mostly come from larger plastics, which degrade (降解) with use or when they aren’t disposed of properly. These microplastics end up in our air, soil, water and food. The wear and tear on our car tires, for example, produces particles that pollute the air and water. Humans breathe in these particles — and harmful chemicals within them. Microplastics have been found in human stool (粪便) and urine. Some studies have suggested that the plastic not excreted in waste appears to pass out of the gut and into the blood, and from there can migrate to other organs like the liver and brain. Animal studies indicate that microplastics can also affect lung and gut functioning and may increase the risk for lung and colon cancer. One of the most effective steps might simply be not drinking from plastic water bottles, especially if they’ve been sitting out in the sun. Another is to avoid heating food in plastic containers. Experts recommended switching to glass or steel containers for food storage. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can help, too. Regularly vacuuming your house and using an air purifier can reduce the amount of microplastics. These measures have limitations, however. Plastic is widespread and often the most affordable option. “It shouldn’t all be on the consumer to have to make those choices,” said Christy Tyler, a professor of environmental science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Experts, including Tyler, said governments would have to regulate and reduce nonessential plastics to stop that accumulation. Some already have. The United States and Europe banned the use of microbeads (微珠) in makeup, for example, and several U.S. states are phasing out Styrofoam in food packaging. And 175 countries have agreed to create a United Nations treaty to end plastic pollution. Compared to 20 years ago, Dr. Thompson said, there’s now “a public appetite” for change. 32. What can we learn about microplastics? A. They produce particles into the air. B. They are from food and drinks. C. They can be degraded properly. D. They may cause health problems. 33. Which of the following best explains “excreted” underlined in paragraph 3? A. added B. released C. created D. controlled 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Approaches to keeping healthy. B. Effective steps for heating food. C. Measures for using plastic device. D. Ways of avoiding microplastics. 35. What can be inferred from Christy Tyler’s words? A. Consumers are blamed for spreading plastics. B. Governments should fine people for using plastics. C. Governments are responsible for reducing plastics. D. Consumers need to pay attention to plastic pollution. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 True Beauty Comes from Within In today’s world, we see many pictures of “perfect” people.

She had prepared lots of snacks, while my job was to have the backyard in order. There was plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There was just one thing I hadn’t counted on: My brother chose to bring his dog Toby, a 50-pound ball of fire. Though friendly, he could easily knock over my niece’s small boys and my six-month-old granddaughter. So, when my brother showed up, I asked him to watch Toby and keep him outside. My plan was working out just fine. Toby was using up his energy by running back and forth in the backyard and giving the kids plenty of room. Unexpectedly, after supper, the weather changed. It started to rain and everyone went indoors. It was an awkward moment. I didn’t want Toby to be running around in the house, and my brother wasn’t happy with driving home with a wet dog. Eventually, my brother decided to leave rather than force the issue. A few days passed, and I hadn’t heard anything from my brother. I texted him and expressed wishes for him to come out again. His reply came as a surprise — a shock, actually: “Not a chance.” Clearly, he was unhappy over the way we had parted. After all, I had left him little choice. Well, he’ll get over it, I reasoned. Two months passed. My wife suggested I get in touch with my brother, but I resisted, thinking he should call first. However, my conscience (良心) kept bothering me. I tried to put myself in my brother’s shoes. He was facing health issues and his wife of thirty-five years had passed away a few months earlier. Toby was his constant companion, the one who kept him going. 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。 I realized it was me who was at fault. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第4页/共9页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语答案 1. 听力 1.

Yours, Li Hua 五.读后续写 I realized it was me who was at fault. I had been so focused on keeping the party under control that I failed to consider how important Toby was to my brother during this difficult time. My pride had kept me from reaching out, and now months had passed without a proper conversation. One evening, I picked up the phone and left him a voice message, apologizing for my behavior and asking if we could meet. To my relief, he called back the next day, and we agreed to get together soon. With the biscuits my wife had made, I arrived at my brother’s door. He opened it with a surprised smile, and for a moment, neither of us spoke. Then we hugged — something we hadn’t done since before his wife passed away. We sat on the porch with Toby resting beside us, and I handed him the box of biscuits. “Thank you,” he said quietly. We talked for hours, laughing, remembering old times, and slowly rebuilding what had been lost. As I watched Toby gently rest his head on my brother’s leg, I knew we were finally on the path to healing. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是英语科听力部分。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
