B It took nearly two days for Kai Gould’s grandfather, Brett, to be found after a serious fall at his farm. Kai and his family felt deeply guilty. “We were all thinking, ‘Oh, we should have called him. Why did none of us think to call him?’” Kai said. But when the family called Brett more often, he hated it. The 79-year-old liked being by himself and did not want to feel under constant supervision. Kai, an electrical engineering student, decided to make something that would help Brett maintain his independence. The family had bought him a necklace and a watch, but he hated both. The result was MedClock, a smart clock that displays reminders about medicine and connects older people with their families. Notifications can be set for certain times, causing the clock to ring until a button is pressed. An automatic text message is then sent to a chosen phone number. Brett uses the clock every morning and evening, so the messages give his family a regular signal that he is all right. “It is essentially just an alarm clock that you put on your kitchen table,” Kai explained. Unlike a watch or necklace, it does not have to be put on each day. Kai’s father, Chris, said the device not only provided peace of mind but also improved the family’s relationship with Brett. Their calls had mainly consisted of questions such as “Have you done this? Have you done that?” With the clock taking care of those checks, the calls became “a lot more social and easier”. Kai built more clocks in his garage and asked for feedback online. The response was overwhelming, with families, hospitals and retirement villages showing interest. Investors had also been circling, but Kai wanted to keep ownership of the product. They often wanted to lift the price, he said, making it unaffordable for many elderly people. “I’m trying to keep the price down as low as I can, and keep it as accessible to people as I can.” 4. Why did Kai decide to invent the smart clock? A. To help Brett live independently. B. To monitor Brett's farm remotely. C. To prove his engineering skills. D. To reduce Brett's medicine use. 5. What sets MedClock apart from other supervision devices? A. It provides several reminder sounds. B. It records users' medical information. C. It works without being worn. D. It connects directly with hospitals. 6. How did MedClock make a difference to the family? A. Calls became more frequent. B. Conversations became less task-focused. C. Exchanges became less detailed. D. Relatives became more involved. 7. What message does Kai’s story mainly convey? A. Personal freedom deserves top priority. B. Thoughtful care respects people’s real needs. C. Technology can replace family involvement. D. Useful inventions should remain affordable. C Electric vehicles (EVs) are often billed as a clean fix for transport emissions. But their success comes with a catch: an approaching wave of retired batteries. Global EV sales topped 17 million in 2024, and demand for battery capacity is set to triple by 2030. Since a typical battery lasts eight to twelve years, a huge number of packs will soon reach the end of their useful life. By 2040, end-of-life batteries could weigh about 20,500 kilotons — roughly 55 times the weight of the Empire State Building. These batteries are not harmless waste. They are classified as hazardous in many countries. If landfilled, they can release poisonous chemicals into soil and groundwater. If damaged or stored carelessly, they may catch fire through “thermal runaway”, a chain reaction that generates intense heat and poisonous fumes. Such fires are notoriously hard to extinguish. The risks fall hardest on workers in informal recycling sectors, who often lack proper training and protective gear. Yet an expired EV battery is far from dead. Most retain 70-80% of their original capacity and could be repurposed for stationary energy storage. The real obstacle is institutional. Once removed from a vehicle, a battery may lose its warranty and clear ownership, becoming “an orphan battery” that no one is obliged to collect. In the U.S., recycling remains largely voluntary, and much battery waste is shipped abroad, shifting environmental risks to other countries. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) offers a way forward. Under EPR, manufacturers — not consumers or waste handlers — must ensure that batteries are collected, reused or recycled. The EU, India and China have adopted some form of EPR; New Jersey has led a few U.S. states. Such laws can set collection targets, ban landfill disposal, require public information and even demand recycled minerals in new batteries. But EPR is no silver bullet. Producers may pass costs onto consumers, raising EV prices and slowing adoption. Weak enforcement could allow used batteries to be stockpiled or exported. The real test, then, is not whether EPR laws exist, but whether they are carefully designed and coordinated across borders. Only then can retired batteries be managed safely and kept within a transparent, circular system. 8. Why is the Empire State Building mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To warn of EV fire risks.  B. To indicate EV popularity. C. To highlight EV waste scale.  D. To emphasize EV battery weight. 9. What does “an orphan battery” reveal? A. A gap in end-of-life duty.  B. A rise in informal recycling. C. A success of voluntary programs.  D. A failure of recycling technology. 10. What is the core idea of EPR? A. Waste exports must be limited.  B. Collection targets are set by law. C. Recycling costs fall on consumers.  D. Producers bear life-cycle responsibility. 11. What is the author’s key suggestion for EPR? A. Avoiding slower EV adoption. B. Ensuring sound planning and global cooperation. C. Preventing cost shifts onto EV buyers. D. Strengthening enforcement of existing EPR laws. D About 400 miles of blood vessels run through the human brain. The smallest are lined with endothelial cells (内皮细胞) joined by tight-junction proteins, forming a nearly impassable barrier that keeps unwanted substances in the bloodstream from entering the brain. Acting like passport control at an airport, the blood-brain barrier tightly regulates what can enter. But that same protection creates a problem: drugs targeting the brain cannot easily enter from the bloodstream, making brain cancers, progressive nerve diseases, and genetic disorders difficult to treat. Scientists have spent decades trying to get medicine across this barrier. In 1989, a UCLA hormone specialist William M. Pardridge proposed a “Molecular Trojan Horse”, laboratory-engineered antibodies (抗体) that could deliver drugs into the brain by exploiting the barrier’s own receptors. But for a long time, researchers couldn’t make the approach work. Antibodies were generally designed to bind as tightly as possible to their targets. That tight binding, however, prevented the shuttles from crossing the barrier. So the strategy repeatedly failed with transferrin-receptor shuttles (转铁蛋白受体穿梭载体). The sudden insight came when Ryan Watts, a scientist at Genentech, and his colleagues discovered that binding weakly to the receptor allowed antibody shuttles to cross the barrier and spread throughout the brains of mice. Watts later started Denali Therapeutics, where he developed the technology into a platform called Transport Vehicle. Other companies have pursued similar shuttle strategies. In 2021, Japan approved Izcargo, developed by JCR Pharmaceuticals, for Hunter syndrome. In March 2026, Denali’s Avlayah received accelerated approval in the U.S. for the same disorder, confirming that the shuttle approach can deliver real treatments. Now the strategy faces a bigger test: Alzheimer’s far more complicated than Hunter syndrome. Roche’s experimental Alzheimer’s therapy uses the same route. In early trials, it cleared plaques (脑内斑块) with fewer infusions, lower doses (剂量), and far fewer side effects than approved drugs, which often cause brain swelling and bleeding. But whether it slows or prevents the disease remains unclear, and Phase III trials are ongoing. Excitement is growing, yet challenges remain. The transferrin receptor is present throughout the body, so drugs may cause side effects in other organs. “The big vision for the future is not one receptor or one shuttle, but a collection of blood-brain barrier shuttles that can be engaged depending on the needs,” says scientist Viviana Gradinaru. If successful, this approach could open doors for other brain diseases. 12. Which of the following best describes the blood-brain barrier according to paragraph 1? A. A perfect filter.  B. An ineffective shield. C. A serious threat.  D. A double-edged sword. 13. What can we infer about the early “Molecular Trojan Horse” approach? A. It won quick success.  B. It used the barrier’s receptors. C. It rebuilt blood-brain barriers.  D. It spread drugs into the brain. 14. What was the key to making the shuttle strategy work? A. Using higher drug doses.  B. Binding tightly to the target. C. Attaching loosely to the receptor.  D. Injecting drugs into the brain. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Delivering Drugs into the Brain: A Long Journey B. The Blood-Brain Barrier: A Barrier to Treatment C. Alzheimer’s: The Final Test for Brain Drug Delivery D. Hunter Syndrome: A Breakthrough in Brain Medicine 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。 In a world that celebrates busyness, unstructured free time is often seen as wasted time. People fill every minute with to-do lists, scheduled activities, and productivity goals. ____16____ Yet, unstructured time — when you have no plans, deadlines, or specific tasks to complete — holds surprising benefits for mind. Unstructured free time allows your brain to rest and recharge. ____17____ When you’re constantly switching between tasks, your prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) works overtime, leading to mental exhaustion. Without external demands, your mind can wander freely, making room for creative thinking and problem-solving. ____18____ It is during these unplanned moments that many people discover new hobbies or revisit forgotten passions. A casual walk in the park might spark an interest in birdwatching. A quiet afternoon with no obligations could lead to picking up an old guitar again. These small discoveries can bring unexpected joy and a renewed sense of purpose. Too much structure can leave little room for self-reflection. ____19____ Unstructured time gives you the space to ask yourself simple but important questions: Am I happy with my routine? What do I truly enjoy doing? This quiet self-check can help you stay connected to your own needs and values. Of course, unstructured free time doesn’t mean being lazy. ____20____ The key is to balance it with the responsibilities of daily life. In the end, these unplanned moments are not empty — they are the spaces where life’s most meaningful experiences often grow. A. Unstructured time can also be a powerful tool for personal growth. B. Some people prefer to spend their free time with friends or family. C. This kind of mental break is essential for restoring focus and clarity. D. Many people even feel guilty when they are not being “productive”. E. It simply means letting go of the pressure to always be doing something. F. Creative ideas rarely appear when you are overloaded with tight schedules. G. Constantly following plans leaves no time to process your thoughts and feelings. 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。 — 3 tablespoons butter — 2 eggs — 2 medium carrots — 1 small white onion — 3 cloves garlic — 4 cups cooked and chilled rice I bet you didn’t read those numbers. I’ll let you in on a secret — I didn’t either. The ingredients above were copied and pasted from the first online search result for “fried rice recipe”.

Creation, without recipe? It’s funny. Creation without recipe may ____30____ everything I’ve written thus far, but the more I bake, the more I realize perhaps baking is spontaneous too. I don’t always need to ____31____ my flour beforehand in order to get perfect cookies. Cupcakes are my ____32____ dish, but I challenged myself to use a different recipe every time. You’d be amazed at how different cupcakes taste when you add an extra egg, and you’d be especially ____33____ my baking skills if you tried my cupcakes that had way too much baking soda (trial and error...). I’m learning to love going with the ____34____. Coming to terms with and embracing the unknown is scary, but I assure you: One day, I’ll ____35____ my own fried rice. 21.

This was our relationship, in sum. Whenever I came across puzzles, I turned to him for answers. In my teen years, he patiently taught me practical life skills, ranging from checking tire pressure to picking proper fruit knives. Back then, he was a hero who knew everything in my eyes. When I settled in my own apartment after marriage, I used to ring him up weekly for advice on broken household facilities. Gradually, however, I needed his guidance less frequently. My husband could handle most home repairs, and Google offered instant answers to almost every question. Without my awareness, our phone calls shortened into a few casual sentences. I took it for granted that Dad would always stay that powerful, ready to offer help whenever I needed it. I seldom called him just to chat. One autumn afternoon, water leaked from the old roof gutter of my house. My husband was buried in urgent work, so I called Dad, expecting merely verbal guidance over the phone. Much to my astonishment, he arrived with his worn toolbox before sunset. We climbed the ladder and worked side by side. As I watched him, I noticed his rough hands covered with scars from decades of repairs. He moved slower now, stopping now and then to steady his breath. It dawned on me that the all-powerful father in my memory had been worn down quietly by time. We finished fixing the leak as dusk fell. Dad packed his tools without much chatter. I offered to drive him home, but he shook his head and headed toward his old truck. 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。 Standing by the truck, I suddenly asked whether he felt tired of being my problem-solver all those years. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, I picked up the phone and dialed Dad's number without waiting for emergencies. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语三 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有 10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍亚特兰大植物园的活动、餐饮与停车信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据活动表中的“Garden Playtime (little kids, nature activities) Tuesdays, 10:00 AM(Garden Playtime(幼儿，自然活动)周二，上午10:00)”和“Storybook Time (nature-inspired stories) Wednesdays, 10:00 & 10:45 AM(Storybook Time(以自然为灵感创作的故事)周三，上午10:00和10:45)”可知，Garden Playtime和Storybook Time的共同特征是都在每周特定日期的上午举行。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据活动表中的“Summer Party (live music, lantern walk) Saturday evenings, June(夏日派对（现场音乐，灯笼漫步）六月周六晚间)”以及“Dining at the Garden”部分中的“Several bars can also be found across the Garden, serving drinks during evening events.(园内各处还有若干酒吧，在晚间活动中提供饮品。)”可知，参加Summer Party时，游客可以在园内的酒吧购买饮品。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Parking”部分中的“Rates are as follows: the first 30 minutes are free; 31 — 60 minutes costs $2; and $1 for each additional 30 minutes after the first hour; and the maximum daily rate is $35 upon exiting the parking lot. Payment is by card only; cash is not accepted.(收费标准如下：前30分钟免费；31至60分钟收费2美元；超过一小时后每额外30分钟加收1美元；离开停车场时每日最高收费35美元。仅限刷卡支付，不接受现金。)”可知，停车45分钟属于31—60分钟的区间，费用为2美元，且只能刷卡支付。 B It took nearly two days for Kai Gould’s grandfather, Brett, to be found after a serious fall at his farm. Kai and his family felt deeply guilty. “We were all thinking, ‘Oh, we should have called him. Why did none of us think to call him?’” Kai said. But when the family called Brett more often, he hated it. The 79-year-old liked being by himself and did not want to feel under constant supervision. Kai, an electrical engineering student, decided to make something that would help Brett maintain his independence. The family had bought him a necklace and a watch, but he hated both. The result was MedClock, a smart clock that displays reminders about medicine and connects older people with their families. Notifications can be set for certain times, causing the clock to ring until a button is pressed. An automatic text message is then sent to a chosen phone number. Brett uses the clock every morning and evening, so the messages give his family a regular signal that he is all right. “It is essentially just an alarm clock that you put on your kitchen table,” Kai explained. Unlike a watch or necklace, it does not have to be put on each day. Kai’s father, Chris, said the device not only provided peace of mind but also improved the family’s relationship with Brett. Their calls had mainly consisted of questions such as “Have you done this? Have you done that?” With the clock taking care of those checks, the calls became “a lot more social and easier”. Kai built more clocks in his garage and asked for feedback online. The response was overwhelming, with families, hospitals and retirement villages showing interest. Investors had also been circling, but Kai wanted to keep ownership of the product. They often wanted to lift the price, he said, making it unaffordable for many elderly people. “I’m trying to keep the price down as low as I can, and keep it as accessible to people as I can.” 4. Why did Kai decide to invent the smart clock? A. To help Brett live independently. B. To monitor Brett's farm remotely. C. To prove his engineering skills. D. To reduce Brett's medicine use. 5. What sets MedClock apart from other supervision devices? A. It provides several reminder sounds. B. It records users' medical information. C. It works without being worn. D. It connects directly with hospitals. 6. How did MedClock make a difference to the family? A. Calls became more frequent. B. Conversations became less task-focused. C. Exchanges became less detailed. D. Relatives became more involved. 7. What message does Kai’s story mainly convey? A. Personal freedom deserves top priority. B. Thoughtful care respects people’s real needs. C. Technology can replace family involvement. D. Useful inventions should remain affordable. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了学生Kai为祖父发明智能时钟兼顾安全与独立。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The 79-year-old liked being by himself and did not want to feel under constant supervision. Kai, an electrical engineering student, decided to make something that would help Brett maintain his independence.(这位79岁的老人喜欢独处，不想一直有被监督的感觉。Kai是一名电气工程专业的学生，他决定制作可以帮助Brett保持独立性的物品。)”可知，Kai发明智能时钟是为了帮助Brett独立生活。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Unlike a watch or necklace, it does not have to be put on each day.(与手表或项链不同，它不必每天佩戴。)”可知，MedClock区别于其他监控设备（如项链、手表）之处在于它无需穿戴，放在厨房桌上即可工作。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Their calls had mainly consisted of questions such as ‘Have you done this? Have you done that?’ With the clock taking care of those checks, the calls became ‘a lot more social and easier’.(他们的电话以前主要是诸如‘你做了这个吗？你做了那个吗？’这类问题。有了时钟负责这些检查后，通话变得‘更具社交性、更轻松了’。)”可知，家庭通话不再聚焦于任务式查问，而是更轻松社交化。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。综合全文：Kai了解祖父“想要独立、讨厌被监督”的真实需求，发明了不穿戴、不打扰日常、又能保障安全的MedClock，还坚持低价让老人买得起，体现“贴心的关怀要尊重人们的真实需要”。B项“Thoughtful care respects people's real needs(周到的关怀尊重人们的真实需求)”最能概括主旨。 C Electric vehicles (EVs) are often billed as a clean fix for transport emissions. But their success comes with a catch: an approaching wave of retired batteries. Global EV sales topped 17 million in 2024, and demand for battery capacity is set to triple by 2030. Since a typical battery lasts eight to twelve years, a huge number of packs will soon reach the end of their useful life. By 2040, end-of-life batteries could weigh about 20,500 kilotons — roughly 55 times the weight of the Empire State Building. These batteries are not harmless waste. They are classified as hazardous in many countries. If landfilled, they can release poisonous chemicals into soil and groundwater. If damaged or stored carelessly, they may catch fire through “thermal runaway”, a chain reaction that generates intense heat and poisonous fumes. Such fires are notoriously hard to extinguish. The risks fall hardest on workers in informal recycling sectors, who often lack proper training and protective gear. Yet an expired EV battery is far from dead. Most retain 70-80% of their original capacity and could be repurposed for stationary energy storage. The real obstacle is institutional. Once removed from a vehicle, a battery may lose its warranty and clear ownership, becoming “an orphan battery” that no one is obliged to collect. In the U.S., recycling remains largely voluntary, and much battery waste is shipped abroad, shifting environmental risks to other countries. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) offers a way forward. Under EPR, manufacturers — not consumers or waste handlers — must ensure that batteries are collected, reused or recycled. The EU, India and China have adopted some form of EPR; New Jersey has led a few U.S. states. Such laws can set collection targets, ban landfill disposal, require public information and even demand recycled minerals in new batteries. But EPR is no silver bullet. Producers may pass costs onto consumers, raising EV prices and slowing adoption. Weak enforcement could allow used batteries to be stockpiled or exported. The real test, then, is not whether EPR laws exist, but whether they are carefully designed and coordinated across borders. Only then can retired batteries be managed safely and kept within a transparent, circular system. 8. Why is the Empire State Building mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To warn of EV fire risks.  B. To indicate EV popularity. C. To highlight EV waste scale.  D. To emphasize EV battery weight. 9. What does “an orphan battery” reveal? A. A gap in end-of-life duty.  B. A rise in informal recycling. C. A success of voluntary programs.  D. A failure of recycling technology. 10. What is the core idea of EPR? A. Waste exports must be limited.  B. Collection targets are set by law. C. Recycling costs fall on consumers.  D. Producers bear life-cycle responsibility. 11. What is the author’s key suggestion for EPR? A. Avoiding slower EV adoption. B. Ensuring sound planning and global cooperation. C. Preventing cost shifts onto EV buyers. D. Strengthening enforcement of existing EPR laws. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【分析】本文介绍了电动汽车退役电池带来的废弃物难题，分析“孤儿电池”权责空白的现状，介绍生产者责任延伸制度（EPR），并指出该制度需要精心设计与跨国协同才能形成良性循环体系。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“By 2040, end-of-life batteries could weigh about 20,500 kilotons — roughly 55 times the weight of the Empire State Building. (到2040年，报废电池重量将达到约2050万吨，大约是帝国大厦重量的55倍。)” 可知，作者用帝国大厦作对比，直观凸显报废电池庞大的总量，体现电动车废弃电池的规模问题。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Once removed from a vehicle, a battery may lose its warranty and clear ownership, becoming “an orphan battery” that no one is obliged to collect. (电池一旦从车上拆下，可能失去质保、权属不清，变成没人有义务回收的“孤儿电池”。)”可知，“孤儿电池”反映出电池报废阶段责任归属存在空白。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Under EPR, manufacturers — not consumers or waste handlers — must ensure that batteries are collected, reused or recycled. (在EPR制度下，是生产商，而不是消费者或垃圾处理方，必须确保电池的收集、再利用或回收。)”可知，EPR的核心理念是让生产者承担产品全生命周期责任。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The real test, then, is not whether EPR laws exist, but whether they are carefully designed and coordinated across borders. (那么，真正的考验不在于是否存在EPR法律，而在于这些法律是否经过精心设计，并且跨国协同配合。)”可知，作者建议EPR制度要有合理规划并且开展全球协作。 D About 400 miles of blood vessels run through the human brain. The smallest are lined with endothelial cells (内皮细胞) joined by tight-junction proteins, forming a nearly impassable barrier that keeps unwanted substances in the bloodstream from entering the brain. Acting like passport control at an airport, the blood-brain barrier tightly regulates what can enter. But that same protection creates a problem: drugs targeting the brain cannot easily enter from the bloodstream, making brain cancers, progressive nerve diseases, and genetic disorders difficult to treat. Scientists have spent decades trying to get medicine across this barrier. In 1989, a UCLA hormone specialist William M. Pardridge proposed a “Molecular Trojan Horse”, laboratory-engineered antibodies (抗体) that could deliver drugs into the brain by exploiting the barrier’s own receptors. But for a long time, researchers couldn’t make the approach work. Antibodies were generally designed to bind as tightly as possible to their targets. That tight binding, however, prevented the shuttles from crossing the barrier. So the strategy repeatedly failed with transferrin-receptor shuttles (转铁蛋白受体穿梭载体). The sudden insight came when Ryan Watts, a scientist at Genentech, and his colleagues discovered that binding weakly to the receptor allowed antibody shuttles to cross the barrier and spread throughout the brains of mice. Watts later started Denali Therapeutics, where he developed the technology into a platform called Transport Vehicle. Other companies have pursued similar shuttle strategies. In 2021, Japan approved Izcargo, developed by JCR Pharmaceuticals, for Hunter syndrome. In March 2026, Denali’s Avlayah received accelerated approval in the U.S. for the same disorder, confirming that the shuttle approach can deliver real treatments. Now the strategy faces a bigger test: Alzheimer’s far more complicated than Hunter syndrome. Roche’s experimental Alzheimer’s therapy uses the same route. In early trials, it cleared plaques (脑内斑块) with fewer infusions, lower doses (剂量), and far fewer side effects than approved drugs, which often cause brain swelling and bleeding. But whether it slows or prevents the disease remains unclear, and Phase III trials are ongoing. Excitement is growing, yet challenges remain. The transferrin receptor is present throughout the body, so drugs may cause side effects in other organs. “The big vision for the future is not one receptor or one shuttle, but a collection of blood-brain barrier shuttles that can be engaged depending on the needs,” says scientist Viviana Gradinaru. If successful, this approach could open doors for other brain diseases. 12. Which of the following best describes the blood-brain barrier according to paragraph 1? A. A perfect filter.  B. An ineffective shield. C. A serious threat.  D. A double-edged sword. 13. What can we infer about the early “Molecular Trojan Horse” approach? A. It won quick success.  B. It used the barrier’s receptors. C. It rebuilt blood-brain barriers.  D. It spread drugs into the brain. 14. What was the key to making the shuttle strategy work? A. Using higher drug doses.  B. Binding tightly to the target. C. Attaching loosely to the receptor.  D. Injecting drugs into the brain. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Delivering Drugs into the Brain: A Long Journey B. The Blood-Brain Barrier: A Barrier to Treatment C. Alzheimer’s: The Final Test for Brain Drug Delivery D. Hunter Syndrome: A Breakthrough in Brain Medicine 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了血脑屏障的特性、科学家为突破血脑屏障实现脑部给药所经历的数十年探索历程、相关技术的发展成果以及当前仍面临的挑战与未来发展愿景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Acting like passport control at an airport, the blood-brain barrier tightly regulates what can enter. But that same protection creates a problem: drugs targeting the brain cannot easily enter from the bloodstream, making brain cancers, progressive nerve diseases, and genetic disorders difficult to treat.(血脑屏障就像机场的护照检查，严格管控可以进入大脑的物质。但正是这种防护带来了一个难题：靶向大脑的药物很难从血液进入大脑，使得脑癌、进行性神经疾病以及遗传性疾病难以治疗)”可知，血脑屏障既有保护作用，又阻碍脑部给药，是一把双刃剑。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In 1989, a UCLA hormone specialist William M. Pardridge proposed a “Molecular Trojan Horse”, laboratory-engineered antibodies that could deliver drugs into the brain by exploiting the barrier’s own receptors.(1989年，加州大学洛杉矶分校的激素专家威廉·M·帕德里奇提出了“分子特洛伊木马”方案，即实验室改造的抗体，可以利用血脑屏障自身的受体将药物送入大脑)”可知，早期的“分子特洛伊木马”方案利用了血脑屏障的受体。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The sudden insight came when Ryan Watts, a scientist at Genentech, and his colleagues discovered that binding weakly to the receptor allowed antibody shuttles to cross the barrier and spread throughout the brains of mice.(基因泰克的科学家瑞安·沃茨及其同事灵光一现，他们发现和受体弱结合可以让抗体载体穿过屏障，并扩散到小鼠整个大脑)”可知，让载体策略生效的关键是和受体松散结合。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Acting like passport control at an airport, the blood-brain barrier tightly regulates what can enter. But that same protection creates a problem: drugs targeting the brain cannot easily enter from the bloodstream, making brain cancers, progressive nerve diseases, and genetic disorders difficult to treat.(血脑屏障就像机场的护照检查，严格管控可以进入大脑的物质。但正是这种防护带来了一个难题：靶向大脑的药物很难从血液进入大脑，使得脑癌、进行性神经疾病以及遗传性疾病难以治疗)”以及文章先介绍血脑屏障阻碍脑部给药的难题，接着讲述科学家历经多年研发载体递送药物的技术，取得部分突破，目前仍面临挑战，A选项“将药物送入大脑：一段漫长征程”最符合文章标题。 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。 In a world that celebrates busyness, unstructured free time is often seen as wasted time.

Unstructured free time allows your brain to rest and recharge. ____17____ When you’re constantly switching between tasks, your prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质) works overtime, leading to mental exhaustion. Without external demands, your mind can wander freely, making room for creative thinking and problem-solving. ____18____ It is during these unplanned moments that many people discover new hobbies or revisit forgotten passions. A casual walk in the park might spark an interest in birdwatching. A quiet afternoon with no obligations could lead to picking up an old guitar again. These small discoveries can bring unexpected joy and a renewed sense of purpose. Too much structure can leave little room for self-reflection. ____19____ Unstructured time gives you the space to ask yourself simple but important questions: Am I happy with my routine? What do I truly enjoy doing? This quiet self-check can help you stay connected to your own needs and values. Of course, unstructured free time doesn’t mean being lazy. ____20____ The key is to balance it with the responsibilities of daily life. In the end, these unplanned moments are not empty — they are the spaces where life’s most meaningful experiences often grow. A. Unstructured time can also be a powerful tool for personal growth. B. Some people prefer to spend their free time with friends or family. C. This kind of mental break is essential for restoring focus and clarity. D. Many people even feel guilty when they are not being “productive”. E. It simply means letting go of the pressure to always be doing something. F. Creative ideas rarely appear when you are overloaded with tight schedules. G. Constantly following plans leaves no time to process your thoughts and feelings. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. A 19. G 20.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者由一份网上的炒饭配方说起，回忆小时候跟着奶奶随性做炒饭的经历，对比自己偏爱精准配方的烘焙习惯，慢慢感悟创作与生活不必拘泥固定模板，要学会接纳未知、顺其自然。 【21题详解】 考查名词。并非对食谱主人有任何不敬，但我可以告诉你，这个食谱是错的。A. honor尊重；B. threat威胁；C. kindness善意；D. disrespect不尊重。根据空后“I can tell you it’s wrong.”和上文表示转折的but推测，作者说食谱是错的并非出于不尊重食谱的主人，他只是说了事实，without any disrespect to是固定表达，意为“无意冒犯、并无不尊重之意”。 【22题详解】 考查形容词。句意：唯一真正的炒饭食谱，就是根本没有食谱。A. true真正的；B. unhealthy不健康的；C. popular受欢迎的；D. risky有风险的。根据后文“No measurements, no exact instructions, and no timer.”推测，作者认为地道的炒饭不需要固定配方、量化步骤。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：只有气味、感觉和记忆。A. dreams梦想；B. failures失败；C. memories回忆；D. regrets遗憾。根据下文“I learned to cook fried rice on the rickety stool covered in stickers, surrounded by the scents (芳香) of my Grandma’s apron.”可知，下文是对往事的回忆。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：我们有多少剩米饭就用多少，冰箱里放着什么食材就搭配什么。A. floating漂浮；B. sitting放置；C. growing生长；D. surviving存活。根据后文地点状语“in the fridge”推测，这里描述食材存放于冰箱之中，sit可以表达物品处在某个空间内，sitting in the fridge表示食材放在冰箱里。 【25题详解】 考查形容词。句意：厨房总是有点乱糟糟的，但这正是乐趣所在。A. hot炎热的；B. messy杂乱的；C. dusty布满灰尘的；D. noisy吵闹的。根据前文的“We used however much leftover rice we had and a combination of anything and everything in the fridge.”推测，随意组合冰箱里的食材，这种随性的烹饪方式自然会让厨房有点乱，且“乱”与“乐趣”形成呼应。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而,我一直更像一个烘焙者,而不是一个厨师。A. lecturer讲师；B. talker健谈的人；C. diner食客；D. baker烘焙师。根据后文的“From a young age, I found ________ in the careful baking recipes in Western cookbooks.”和后文的“the more I bake”等信息，说明作者更偏向烘焙。 【27题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我喜欢食谱，享受精准、寻找细节、调平和称重的过程。A. precise精准的；B. creative有创造力的；C. patient耐心的；D. flexible灵活的。根据后文“finding details, adjusting and leveling and weighing”推测，寻找细节、调配、刮平、称重这类操作，对准确度要求很高。 【28题详解】 考查名词。句意：从小时候起，我就在西式食谱严谨的烘焙配方中找到了慰藉。A. pride骄傲；B. evidence证据；C. comfort慰藉；D. confidence信心。根据上文“I enjoy the process of being  and finding details, adjusting and leveling and weighing.”可知，作者喜欢步骤固定清晰的烘焙配方，这种确定感可以带来内心安稳宽慰的感受。 【29题详解】 考查副词。句意：但我理解即兴创作和自然创作的美好，说真的，生活不也是这样吗？创作，本就没有固定食谱？A. really说真的；B. merely仅仅；C. luckily幸运地；D. naturally自然地。根据空后反问句“isn’t that what life is?”推测，作者由烹饪升华到对生活的感悟，此处需要插入语加强语气，引出内心思考。 【30题详解】 考查动词。句意：有意思的是，没有食谱的创作或许和我前面所说的一切相悖。但我越烘焙越意识到，烘焙也许也是即兴的。A. confirm证实；B. replace替换；C. represent代表；D. contradict与……相悖。根据前文作者推崇精准按配方烘焙，本句转而认可无食谱即兴创作推测，前后两种观点存在对立冲突。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：我不必总是提前称量面粉，才能做出完美的曲奇。A. buy购买；B. weigh称量；C. estimate估计；D. process加工。根据前文的“I enjoy the process of being  and finding details, adjusting and leveling and weighing.”可知，传统烘焙需要提前称量原料保证成品稳定，本句表达作者慢慢打破这个固有习惯。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：纸杯蛋糕是我的拿手菜，但我挑战自己每次都用不同的食谱。A. main主要的；B. side主菜外附加的；C. signature标志性的；D. homemade自制的。根据后文“but I challenged myself to use a different recipe every time.”推测，作者长期制作纸杯蛋糕，不断更换配方尝试，纸杯蛋糕是他拿手标志性的点心。 【33题详解】 考查形容词短语。句意：多加一个鸡蛋，纸杯蛋糕的味道就会截然不同；如果你尝过我放了太多小苏打、反复试错做出来的纸杯蛋糕，你一定会对我的烘焙手艺感到没底。A. interested in对……感兴趣；B. disappointed with对……失望；C. worried about担心；D. uncertain about不确定。根据后文 “that had way too much baking soda (trial and error...)” 可知，失败的成品会让人对作者的烘焙水平没有把握。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：我学着喜欢顺其自然。A. flow流动；B. recipe食谱；C. theory理论；D. tradition传统。根据后文的“Coming to terms with and embracing the unknown is scary”可知，作者学着接纳未知、顺应变化，go with the flow 表示“顺其自然”，与第9题前的“spontaneity”及后文“embracing the unknown”相呼应。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：接纳未知、拥抱未知是一件令人惶恐的事，但我向你保证：总有一天，我会掌握属于自己的炒饭。A. sell售卖；B. master掌握；C. design设计；D. understand理解。根据前文“The only _______ fried rice recipe is no recipe at all” 以及作者感悟即兴创作的理念可知，作者想要掌握随性做出属于自己的炒饭。 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.

This was our relationship, in sum. Whenever I came across puzzles, I turned to him for answers. In my teen years, he patiently taught me practical life skills, ranging from checking tire pressure to picking proper fruit knives. Back then, he was a hero who knew everything in my eyes. When I settled in my own apartment after marriage, I used to ring him up weekly for advice on broken household facilities. Gradually, however, I needed his guidance less frequently. My husband could handle most home repairs, and Google offered instant answers to almost every question. Without my awareness, our phone calls shortened into a few casual sentences. I took it for granted that Dad would always stay that powerful, ready to offer help whenever I needed it. I seldom called him just to chat. One autumn afternoon, water leaked from the old roof gutter of my house. My husband was buried in urgent work, so I called Dad, expecting merely verbal guidance over the phone. Much to my astonishment, he arrived with his worn toolbox before sunset. We climbed the ladder and worked side by side. As I watched him, I noticed his rough hands covered with scars from decades of repairs. He moved slower now, stopping now and then to steady his breath. It dawned on me that the all-powerful father in my memory had been worn down quietly by time. We finished fixing the leak as dusk fell. Dad packed his tools without much chatter. I offered to drive him home, but he shook his head and headed toward his old truck. 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。 Standing by the truck, I suddenly asked whether he felt tired of being my problem-solver all those years. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, I picked up the phone and dialed Dad's number without waiting for emergencies. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考答案： Standing by the truck, I suddenly asked whether he felt tired of being my problem-solver all those years. He paused, turning to me with a gentle smile. “Never,” he said, patting my shoulder. “Being needed by you is my greatest joy.” I felt a lump in my throat, and tears welled up in my eyes as guilt washed over me. I realized I had been too absorbed in my own life, ignoring his silent loneliness. He wasn’t just a handyman; he was my father, waiting for my calls. I stepped forward and hugged him tightly, whispering a sincere apology for my neglect. That night, I picked up the phone and dialed Dad’s number without waiting for emergencies. When the line connected, his warm voice came through. Instead of asking for advice, I asked how his day was and if he was resting well. He sounded surprised but soon shared funny stories about his garden. We chatted for an hour, laughing like old times. From then on, I learned that while Google answers my questions, only Dad offers true warmth. I promised to make time for him — not just when I need help, but simply because I love him. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者与父亲之间的亲情变化为线索展开，讲述了作者从小凡事依赖无所不能的父亲，婚后渐渐很少主动联系，只在遇到麻烦时求助。一次屋顶水槽漏水，父亲赶来维修，作者留意到父亲日渐苍老，内心受到触动。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者询问父亲常年帮自己解决难题是否感到厌倦，父亲说被她需要就是幸福，愧疚涌上作者心头，她拥抱父亲，为自己长久的忽视道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者当晚主动致电父亲，不再寻求帮助，而是关心他的日常，父女愉快闲谈，作者领悟到网络只能解答问题，唯有父亲能给予真挚温暖，决定多花时间陪伴父亲。 2. 续写线索：询问父亲是否疲惫——父亲暖心回应——作者心生愧疚、拥抱致歉——主动打电话闲聊——关心父亲日常——感悟亲情，改变相处方式 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①席卷：wash over/overwhelm ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③闲谈：chat/converse 情绪类 ①温柔的：gentle/tender ②真诚的：sincere/heartfelt/genuine 【点睛】【高分句型1】I felt a lump in my throat, and tears welled up in my eyes as guilt washed over me.
