But in the early 1900s, space travel seemed like a dream. One of the most influential people in the field of rocket science was American Robert Goddard (1882-1945). The American space agency NASA describes him as “the father of modern rocket propulsion (推进)”. Goddard once said that “the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow”. His scientific work gave hope to many dreams about space travel. He turned some of those dreams into reality. Over one hundred years ago, Goddard carried out studies and tests of rocket engines. He developed and flew many rockets that got their power from solid fuels: chemicals that formed a hard substance. In 1925, he made and tested the first rocket engine using a soft chemical fuel. The next year, he successfully launched the world’s first liquid-fuel rocket. Many historians consider liquid-fuel rocket flight to be as important as the first airplane flight by the American brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright. Goddard’s work proved that machines could travel outside of Earth’s atmosphere and into space. During his early research, he received money and support from the US Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian published several reports about his efforts. One publication in 1919, called A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes, wrote about his search for ways to send weather recording instruments higher than balloons could fly. It described how he developed the mathematical theories for rocket flight. In that report, Goddard also suggested the possibility of a rocket someday reaching the moon. At the time, there was a big dispute in the press about this claim. Many people thought he was foolish for suggesting something that seemed so impossible. Many of Goddard’s ideas are still used in rocket development. So, in a way, every rocket that flies today could be considered a Goddard rocket. 4. What makes NASA highly praise Goddard? A. His various dreams and efforts. B. His first airplane experiment. C. His rocket experiments and research. D. His rocket power theory and predictions. 5. What does the underlined word “dispute” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Challenge. B. Breakthrough. C. Disagreement. D. Inspiration. 6. Which can best describe Robert Goddard? A. Intellectual and creative. B. Adventurous but self-centered. C. Cooperative but inefficient. D. Romantic and humorous. 7. What can we know about Goddard from the text? A. Many of his theories are still useful in developing rockets. B. He made the first rocket engine in 1919. C. His first book about his study was published in 1926. D. He launched the world's first liquid-fuel rocket in 1925. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Robert Goddard在火箭科学领域的贡献与影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The American space agency NASA describes him as “the father of modern rocket propulsion(推进)”.(美国国家航空航天局称他为“现代火箭推进之父”)”以及第三段和第四段中关于Goddard的火箭实验和研究的描述可知，NASA高度赞扬Goddard是因为他的火箭实验和研究。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中“At the time, there was a big dispute in the press about this claim. Many people thought he was foolish for suggesting something that seemed so impossible.(当时，媒体对这一说法存在很大的dispute。许多人认为他提出这样一件看似不可能的事情是愚蠢的)”可知，许多人认为Goddard提出的理论是不可能实现的，所以应该存在很多的争议，由此可推测，dispute意为“争议，分歧”，与Disagreement意思相近。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章中对Goddard的描述，他进行了多项火箭实验和研究，提出了许多关于火箭飞行的数学理论，并成功发射了世界上第一枚液体燃料火箭，他的许多想法至今仍在火箭开发中使用。由此可推断，Goddard是一个聪明且有创造力的人。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Many of Goddard’s ideas are still used in rocket development.(Goddard的许多想法至今仍被应用于火箭研发中)”可知，Goddard的许多理论在开发火箭中仍然有用。故选A。 C The Weirdest Tales in History promises stories too strange, dark or awkward for a typical classroom lesson. These are the kinds of stories your history teacher might have skipped over, even though they’re just as fascinating. From Ancient Rome to Cold War experiments, the book explores a wide range of lesser-known historical events. The book is made up of individual stories, so you can pick it up and start anywhere. Each one begins with ratings for absurdity, evidence, and cruelty, along with a “Tell-at-a-Party” introduction designed to grab your attention. The Roman Empire Goes to Auction, for example, opens like this: “In 193 CE (AD 193), Roman soldiers literally auctioned off (拍卖掉) the entire empire to the highest bidder (出价者) — and the winner ruled for 66 days before being killed.” The stories are told in a dramatic, often witty style that makes history feel alive and engaging. Each one ends with a “Truth Meter”, which sorts the details into “rock-solid”, “probable” or “debated”. A “Why This Story Matters” section then discusses the event’s historical impact and modern relevance. The analysis of the Roman auction, for instance, notes: “This isn’t just Rome’s weirdest moment. It’s a masterclass in what happens when the people guarding the system realize they can sell the system.” The informal style might strike some readers as too silly for serious history. However, the stories are well-researched and offer a fresh way to learn about the past. The book’s appeal goes beyond history, too. Its everyday language gives English as a second language (ESL) learners a chance to see how English is actually used, making it a great model for anyone who wants to sound more natural in English. Garlandium Books, the publisher, says on its Amazon page that its mission is “sharing knowledge in the most engaging way possible”. The Weirdest Tales in History largely lives up to that promise. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious, the book takes you on an entertaining and informative journey through some of the stranger, often grimmer corners of the past. 8. What do we know about the stories in the book? A. They follow a fixed time order. B. They center on famous events. C. They are rarely taught at school. D. They’re too dark to be interesting. 9. Why is the Roman auction mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the book’s format. B. To explain how auctions worked. C. To highlight the stories’ grimness. D. To show the book’s dramatic style. 10. What does the “Truth Meter” offer readers? A. A reliability check on the facts. B. A summary of each story’s plot. C. A measure of each story’s grimness. D. A rating of each story’s lasting value. 11. What does the author think of the book? A. Plain and practical. B. Strange but uplifting. C. Serious and demanding. D. Amusing and reliable. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍《The Weirdest Tales in History》这本书的内容、编排特色、语言风格以及它的价值与优点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Weirdest Tales in History promises stories too strange, dark or awkward for a typical classroom lesson. These are the kinds of stories your history teacher might have skipped over, even though they’re just as fascinating.(《史上最离奇故事》收录了那些太过怪异、沉重或尴尬，不适合常规课堂的故事。这类故事历史老师可能会略过，尽管它们同样吸引人)”可知，书中的故事很少在学校讲授。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The book is made up of individual stories, so you can pick it up and start anywhere. Each one begins with ratings for absurdity, evidence, and cruelty, along with a “Tell-at-a-Party” introduction designed to grab your attention.(这本书由独立故事组成，你可以随手翻开从任意地方读起。每个故事开头都有荒诞度、证据充分度、残酷程度评分，还有用来吸引读者的趣味引言)”可知，举罗马帝国被拍卖的例子是为了说明这本书的编排形式。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Each one ends with a “Truth Meter”, which sorts the details into “rock-solid”, “probable” or “debated”.(每个故事结尾都设有“真实度标尺”，把细节分为确凿可信、有可能、存在争议三类)”可知，它用来检验事实信息的可靠程度。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“However, the stories are well-researched and offer a fresh way to learn about the past.(但这些故事经过充分考证，提供了学习历史的新颖方式)”以及尾段中的“Whether you’re a history buff or just curious, the book takes you on an entertaining and informative journey through some of the stranger, often grimmer corners of the past.(无论你是历史爱好者还是只是好奇，这本书带你开启一场有趣又增长见识的旅程，探访过去那些离奇且往往沉重的角落)”可知，作者认为这本书有趣且内容可信。 D Is there a single shot that can protect us against all viruses, including those we have not encountered yet? Recently, scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a special vaccine. It aims to work not just against all known human coronaviruses (冠状病毒), but also against related bat viruses that could jump to humans and cause future pandemics (流行病). It is also the world’s first vaccine with key components designed entirely by artificial intelligence (AI). Traditional vaccines train our immune system to recognize one specific virus. However, viruses mutate (突变) a lot, and when they change enough, the vaccines stop working. This is why we need a new flu shot every year and why COVID vaccines have been updated repeatedly since 2021. AI offers a way around this. By comparing the genetic data of thousands of related viruses, it can identify the parts that stay the same across strains and are unlikely to change over time. By targeting these stable features, you get a vaccine that should work against a whole family of viruses. This is exactly what the Cambridge team did with the sarbecovirus family, which includes the viruses responsible for SARS and COVID. This kind of broad-range vaccine could provide rapid immunity and stop emerging viral threats before they have a chance to grow. The current Ebola outbreak in Africa shows why this is important. Starting in April, the outbreak is driven by the Bundibugyo strain, which no existing Ebola vaccines cover. While researchers rush to create one, local communities remain at high risk. As of Aug 26, almost 5,800 cases were reported, including nearly 2,800 deaths, according to the World Health Organization. Additionally, the new vaccine uses DNA pieces, rather than mRNA sections like traditional COVID vaccines, to help the body recognize the viruses. This makes the new vaccine more stable for storage and transport, especially in poorer countries with limited cold-chain infrastructure (基础设施). Also, the vaccine can be given with a super thin stream of liquid through the skin. This needle-free delivery is less painful and easier to increase production. The vaccine has been tested in people. The results showed it was safe and able to stimulate immune responses against multiple sarbecoviruses at once. However, these responses were modest, and larger trials are needed to determine how long the protection lasts and whether boosters will be required. 12. What is a limitation of traditional vaccines? A. They can cause viruses to mutate. B. They lose effect within about a year. C. They weaken the human immune system. D. They protect against only one specific virus. 13. How does AI help develop the new vaccine? A. By tracking how viruses mutate over time. B. By comparing the genes of unrelated viruses. C. By combining parts of the SARS and COVID viruses. D. By finding stable features common to different viruses. 14. What does the last paragraph imply about the vaccine? A. It will require regular booster shots. B. It is not yet ready for widespread use. C. It caused modest side effects in people. D. It has already completed larger human trials. 15. What’s the best title of the text? A. AI-designed Vaccine: A Weapon Against Coronaviruses B. The Disadvantages of Traditional COVID Vaccines C. New Breakthrough in the Fight Against Ebola Virus D. How Viruses Mutate and Cause Pandemics 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍剑桥大学研发的首款由人工智能设计的广谱冠状病毒疫苗，以及它的原理、优势和试验现状。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Traditional vaccines train our immune system to recognize one specific virus.(传统疫苗训练我们的免疫系统识别一种特定的病毒)”可知，传统疫苗只能针对单一特定病毒起到防护作用，这是它的局限。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“By comparing the genetic data of thousands of related viruses, it can identify the parts that stay the same across strains and are unlikely to change over time.(通过对比数千种相关病毒的基因数据，它能够找到不同毒株间保持不变、不易随时间改变的部分)”可知，人工智能通过寻找不同病毒共有的稳定特征助力研发新疫苗。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“However, these responses were modest, and larger trials are needed to determine how long the protection lasts and whether boosters will be required.(但是，这些免疫反应强度一般，还需要更大规模的试验来确定保护时长以及是否需要加强针)”可知，这款疫苗还没有做好大范围投入使用的准备。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“It is also the world’s first vaccine with key components designed entirely by artificial intelligence (AI).(它也是全球首款核心组分完全由人工智能设计的疫苗)”可知，文章主要介绍这款人工智能研发、用来对抗冠状病毒类病毒的新型疫苗，A项“人工智能设计疫苗：对抗冠状病毒的武器”最贴合文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to most of us. Reading instructors have developed questioning techniques to deal with this passive reading habit. ____16____ For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading. This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction. At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. ____17____ Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it. ____18____ The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. ____19____ But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. ____20____ In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever. Questioning techniques in reading instruction provide students with the tools they need to become thoughtful, engaged, and reflective readers. A. Each type serves a different purpose. B. It’s about making sense of those words. C. Of course, all questions aren’t created equal. D. They can totally transform the reading experience. E. But imagine students who are just learning to read. F. Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain. G. Be aware that these techniques work best for advanced readers. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. C 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了阅读教学中的提问技巧，说明了它的作用、问题的不同类型，以及它对培养学生批判性思维的重要性。 【16题详解】 前文“Reading instructors have developed questioning techniques to deal with this passive reading habit. (阅读指导者已经开发出提问技巧来应对这种被动阅读的习惯)”表明，上文说的是大多数人都存在的被动阅读问题；再根据后文“For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading. (对他们来说，阅读不仅仅是理解文本，而是批判性思考、建立联系并投入到所读内容之中)”可知，本句中的“them”指代的是人，本空处应引出一类人。E选项“But imagine students who are just learning to read. (但想象一下那些正在学习阅读的学生)”中的“students”正好为后文的“them”提供指代对象，且“But”与前文大多数人的被动阅读形成转折对比，引出另一种阅读状态。 【17题详解】 后文“Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. (就像锻炼能强健肌肉一样，阅读时提问能增强理解能力)”把提问比作锻炼。F选项“Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain. (把提问技巧看作大脑的思维锻炼)”先提出“大脑的思维锻炼”这一比喻，后文的类比正是对这一比喻的展开说明，前后衔接自然。 【18题详解】 根据后文“The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. (所提问题的类型会根据所需的参与程度而有所不同)”可知，本段将介绍问题的不同类型，即问题并非千篇一律。C选项“Of course, all questions aren’t created equal. (当然，并非所有问题都是千篇一律的)”中“aren’t created equal”与后文“types can vary”语意一致，且“Of course”承接上一段对提问技巧作用的肯定，自然转入对问题类型的说明。 【19题详解】 前文“There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. (有直接从文中获取信息的简单的字面性问题，也有需要读者读出言外之意的推断性问题和评价性问题，甚至还有鼓励读者预测接下来会发生什么的预测性问题)”列举了问题的多种类型。A选项“Each type serves a different purpose. (每种类型都有不同的用途)”中的“Each type”总括上文列举的各类问题；再根据后文“But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. (但它们合在一起，创造出一种丰富的、引人入胜的阅读体验，而不只是解读页面上的文字)”可知，“But”前后构成“个体用途各异——合在一起有益”的转折关系，衔接严密。 【20题详解】 前文“Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. (事实上，阅读不仅仅是认出词语)”说明阅读不止于认词。B选项“It’s about making sense of those words. (而在于理解这些词语的意义)”中的“It’s about...”与前文“more than just…”构成“不仅仅是……更在于……”的衔接结构，且“those words”复指前文提到的“words”，语意连贯。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Alejandro can’t wait to get home to dive into his candle-making business as soon as he returns home from school every day while other children play games, ____21____ their pets or watch TV.

I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up. With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me. When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty? As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight. During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. As my car neared it my thoughts drifted back to the moment when I rescued the hummingbird from the spider’s web. I rushed back to the deserted house. It was a great comfort that the original hole in the window was nowhere to be found. Leaving the house, I couldn’t help wondering how it was getting on now. Had it managed to find its way back home, or was it still out there somewhere struggling to survive? I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. A flash of movement caught my attention. I turned around to see the same hummingbird hovering in the air. It seemed that the bird was waiting for me, its beady eyes locked on mine as if trying to convey some deep, unspoken gratitude. I felt a surge of relief and awe at the sight of this sound and grateful creature, and I knew that I would always cherish the memories we shared as I climbed into my car and drove away. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者被邀请去一个农场野餐，发现一个房子里有只蜂鸟被蜘蛛网困住了，作者把蜂鸟救了，把蜂鸟带出去的时候它迟迟不肯走，当作者走到一条布满黑莓的小路时，它开始动了，但是却不肯飞走，徘徊着，后来终于飞走了，当作者准备离开时，蜂鸟又飞到作者面前，好像是在和作者告别。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，我又去了农场。”可知，第一段可描写作者回到农场时所看到的和所想到的。 ②由第二段首句内容“我正要离开，这时蜂鸟出现了。”可知，第二段可描写蜂鸟是如何对作者的以及作者的感想。 2.续写线索：想起救蜂鸟的时候——回到那个房子——想到那只蜂鸟——看见蜂鸟——蜂鸟的表现——作者的感想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①思绪回到……：thoughts drift back to/thoughts return to ②匆匆回到：rush back to/hurry back to ③盯着：eyes locked on/eyes staring at 情绪类 ①宽慰：feel a surge of relief/feel relieved ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] As my car neared it my thoughts drifted back to the moment when I rescued the hummingbird from the spider’s web.

It also has a number of festivals, offering travelers an opportunity to learn about the destination while celebrating with locals. Come and enjoy the following festivals. Taraz Festival Lattice lace stitched (格子花边刺绣) in traditional patterns is what you can expect every August at Taraz Festival, which is held in Yerevan. Named after Armenia’s traditional dress, this festival is divided into two fairs: one celebrates heritage designs, while the other sees modern designers reinterpret elements of the Taraz. High Fest If you want to be fully absorbed in Armenia’s culture, choose High Fest. This international performing arts festival is held every October in both Yerevan and Gyumri. It offers a wide range of artistic shows, ranging from modern dance and music performances to theatre and comedy acts. It is a perfect event for experiencing the lively local cultural scene. Navasard Armenian-Iranian Cultural Culinary Festival More traditions can be explored at the Navasard Armenian-Iranian Cultural Culinary Festival, celebrated every August in the town of Sisian. It marks the start of the ancient Armenian New Year, a day once observed with singing and dancing. Keeping with tradition, on 10 August, locals cook up ancient recipes and perform national songs and folk dances. Gata Festival If you have a sweet tooth, meanwhile, head to Khachik for Gata Festival in September, a festival that celebrates a regional sweet bread. You can even try your hand at gathering wild plants and herbs at Edible Plants in Armenian Cuisine. These wild greens are the backbone of many traditional recipes, which are prepared for visitors as a warm and friendly welcome. 1. Where should visitors go if they’re interested in traditional costumes? A. Yerevan. B. Gyumri. C. Sisian. D. Khachik. 2. What is special about Gata Festival? A. It focuses on food culture. B.

C. Education. D. History. B Today rocket launches and space missions are common. But in the early 1900s, space travel seemed like a dream. One of the most influential people in the field of rocket science was American Robert Goddard (1882-1945). The American space agency NASA describes him as “the father of modern rocket propulsion (推进)”. Goddard once said that “the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow”. His scientific work gave hope to many dreams about space travel. He turned some of those dreams into reality. Over one hundred years ago, Goddard carried out studies and tests of rocket engines. He developed and flew many rockets that got their power from solid fuels: chemicals that formed a hard substance. In 1925, he made and tested the first rocket engine using a soft chemical fuel. The next year, he successfully launched the world’s first liquid-fuel rocket. Many historians consider liquid-fuel rocket flight to be as important as the first airplane flight by the American brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright. Goddard’s work proved that machines could travel outside of Earth’s atmosphere and into space. During his early research, he received money and support from the US Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian published several reports about his efforts. One publication in 1919, called A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes, wrote about his search for ways to send weather recording instruments higher than balloons could fly. It described how he developed the mathematical theories for rocket flight. In that report, Goddard also suggested the possibility of a rocket someday reaching the moon. At the time, there was a big dispute in the press about this claim. Many people thought he was foolish for suggesting something that seemed so impossible. Many of Goddard’s ideas are still used in rocket development. So, in a way, every rocket that flies today could be considered a Goddard rocket. 4. What makes NASA highly praise Goddard? A. His various dreams and efforts. B. His first airplane experiment. C. His rocket experiments and research. D. His rocket power theory and predictions. 5. What does the underlined word “dispute” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Challenge. B. Breakthrough. C. Disagreement. D. Inspiration. 6. Which can best describe Robert Goddard? A. Intellectual and creative. B. Adventurous but self-centered. C. Cooperative but inefficient. D. Romantic and humorous. 7. What can we know about Goddard from the text? A. Many of his theories are still useful in developing rockets. B. He made the first rocket engine in 1919. C. His first book about his study was published in 1926. D. He launched the world's first liquid-fuel rocket in 1925. C The Weirdest Tales in History promises stories too strange, dark or awkward for a typical classroom lesson. These are the kinds of stories your history teacher might have skipped over, even though they’re just as fascinating. From Ancient Rome to Cold War experiments, the book explores a wide range of lesser-known historical events. The book is made up of individual stories, so you can pick it up and start anywhere. Each one begins with ratings for absurdity, evidence, and cruelty, along with a “Tell-at-a-Party” introduction designed to grab your attention. The Roman Empire Goes to Auction, for example, opens like this: “In 193 CE (AD 193), Roman soldiers literally auctioned off (拍卖掉) the entire empire to the highest bidder (出价者) — and the winner ruled for 66 days before being killed.” The stories are told in a dramatic, often witty style that makes history feel alive and engaging. Each one ends with a “Truth Meter”, which sorts the details into “rock-solid”, “probable” or “debated”. A “Why This Story Matters” section then discusses the event’s historical impact and modern relevance. The analysis of the Roman auction, for instance, notes: “This isn’t just Rome’s weirdest moment. It’s a masterclass in what happens when the people guarding the system realize they can sell the system.” The informal style might strike some readers as too silly for serious history. However, the stories are well-researched and offer a fresh way to learn about the past. The book’s appeal goes beyond history, too. Its everyday language gives English as a second language (ESL) learners a chance to see how English is actually used, making it a great model for anyone who wants to sound more natural in English. Garlandium Books, the publisher, says on its Amazon page that its mission is “sharing knowledge in the most engaging way possible”. The Weirdest Tales in History largely lives up to that promise. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious, the book takes you on an entertaining and informative journey through some of the stranger, often grimmer corners of the past. 8. What do we know about the stories in the book? A. They follow a fixed time order. B. They center on famous events. C. They are rarely taught at school. D. They’re too dark to be interesting. 9. Why is the Roman auction mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the book’s format. B. To explain how auctions worked. C. To highlight the stories’ grimness. D. To show the book’s dramatic style. 10. What does the “Truth Meter” offer readers? A. A reliability check on the facts. B. A summary of each story’s plot. C. A measure of each story’s grimness. D. A rating of each story’s lasting value. 11. What does the author think of the book? A. Plain and practical. B. Strange but uplifting. C. Serious and demanding. D. Amusing and reliable. D Is there a single shot that can protect us against all viruses, including those we have not encountered yet? Recently, scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a special vaccine. It aims to work not just against all known human coronaviruses (冠状病毒), but also against related bat viruses that could jump to humans and cause future pandemics (流行病). It is also the world’s first vaccine with key components designed entirely by artificial intelligence (AI). Traditional vaccines train our immune system to recognize one specific virus. However, viruses mutate (突变) a lot, and when they change enough, the vaccines stop working. This is why we need a new flu shot every year and why COVID vaccines have been updated repeatedly since 2021. AI offers a way around this. By comparing the genetic data of thousands of related viruses, it can identify the parts that stay the same across strains and are unlikely to change over time. By targeting these stable features, you get a vaccine that should work against a whole family of viruses. This is exactly what the Cambridge team did with the sarbecovirus family, which includes the viruses responsible for SARS and COVID. This kind of broad-range vaccine could provide rapid immunity and stop emerging viral threats before they have a chance to grow. The current Ebola outbreak in Africa shows why this is important. Starting in April, the outbreak is driven by the Bundibugyo strain, which no existing Ebola vaccines cover. While researchers rush to create one, local communities remain at high risk. As of Aug 26, almost 5,800 cases were reported, including nearly 2,800 deaths, according to the World Health Organization. Additionally, the new vaccine uses DNA pieces, rather than mRNA sections like traditional COVID vaccines, to help the body recognize the viruses. This makes the new vaccine more stable for storage and transport, especially in poorer countries with limited cold-chain infrastructure (基础设施). Also, the vaccine can be given with a super thin stream of liquid through the skin. This needle-free delivery is less painful and easier to increase production. The vaccine has been tested in people. The results showed it was safe and able to stimulate immune responses against multiple sarbecoviruses at once. However, these responses were modest, and larger trials are needed to determine how long the protection lasts and whether boosters will be required. 12. What is a limitation of traditional vaccines? A. They can cause viruses to mutate. B. They lose effect within about a year. C. They weaken the human immune system. D. They protect against only one specific virus. 13. How does AI help develop the new vaccine? A. By tracking how viruses mutate over time. B. By comparing the genes of unrelated viruses. C. By combining parts of the SARS and COVID viruses. D. By finding stable features common to different viruses. 14. What does the last paragraph imply about the vaccine? A. It will require regular booster shots. B. It is not yet ready for widespread use. C. It caused modest side effects in people. D. It has already completed larger human trials. 15. What’s the best title of the text? A. AI-designed Vaccine: A Weapon Against Coronaviruses B. The Disadvantages of Traditional COVID Vaccines C. New Breakthrough in the Fight Against Ebola Virus D. How Viruses Mutate and Cause Pandemics 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself lost in a book, turning pages without really processing the words? It happens to most of us. Reading instructors have developed questioning techniques to deal with this passive reading habit. ____16____ For them, reading isn’t just about understanding the text; it’s about thinking critically, making connections, and engaging with what they’re reading. This is where questioning techniques come into play in reading instruction. At its core, questioning techniques are strategies used to inspire readers to think critically about what they are reading. ____17____ Just like how exercise strengthens muscles, asking questions while reading strengthens comprehension skills. It pushes readers to not only understand the story but to analyze it, evaluate it, and sometimes even challenge it. ____18____ The types of questions asked can vary depending on the level of engagement required. There are easy literal questions that ask for information directly from the text and also inferential and evaluative questions that require readers to read between the lines. There are even predictive questions that encourage readers to make predictions about what will happen next. ____19____ But together, they create a rich, engaging reading experience that goes beyond just decoding words on a page. You might be wondering, “Why does this matter?” Can’t students just read and understand on their own? Well, the truth is, reading is more than just recognizing words. ____20____ In a world overloaded with information, teaching students how to think critically about what they read is more important than ever. Questioning techniques in reading instruction provide students with the tools they need to become thoughtful, engaged, and reflective readers. A. Each type serves a different purpose. B. It’s about making sense of those words. C. Of course, all questions aren’t created equal. D. They can totally transform the reading experience. E. But imagine students who are just learning to read. F. Think of questioning techniques as a mental workout for the brain. G. Be aware that these techniques work best for advanced readers. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Alejandro can’t wait to get home to dive into his candle-making business as soon as he returns home from school every day while other children play games, ____21____ their pets or watch TV.

I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up. With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me. When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty? As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight. During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
