B In a crowded gallery m the 19408,a student of traditional Chinese painting,Duan Wenjie, gazed at the vivid Mogao murals and fell an immediale urge to visit Dunhuang."I was like a hungry ox breaking into a vegetable garden,"he recalled,"and enjoying a spiritual feast."From that moment on,thoughts of the murals filled Duan's mind.His initial idea of a brief visit had transformed into a lifelong mission. Duan's work began in the caves,where he painted copies of the murals.Due to the severe damage done to some of the murals,this was at times an almost impossible task.Determined, Duan labored through hundreds of reference sources,making numerous notes on how to best reproduce the all-but-invisible images.Sometimes,years of painstaking work yielded only one single copy.Starting in 1946,he copied nearly 400 ancient murals mostly by himself,covering an area of about 150 square metres. Despite such remarkable achievements in restoration work,the situation was far less encouraging when it came to academic research.For a long time,Dunhuang studies were largely carried out in other countries,such as Japan,France and Russia.This was the direct consequence of a tragic history.Starting in the early 1900s,foreign explorers smuggled ( thousands of ancient manuscripts and relics out of the Mogao Grottoes.As a result,those irreplaceable materials became scattered acrass the glebe.Renowned Chinese historian Chen Yinque once referred to Dunhuang studies as an example ofour sad academic history In 1982,Duan Wenjie became Dunhuang Academy's second director and spared no effort to change this situation.Dunhuang studies quickly expanded in range,and Duan led his colleagues in publishing Dunhuang Research,the first Chinese academic journal of Dunhuang studies."Dunhuang is the whole of my life,"he once said.Thanks to his decades of sustained efforts,the Mogao Grottoes were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1987. 24.What inspired Duan Wenjie to go to Dunhuang? A.An academic conference on cave art.B.His desire for a lifelong mission in Dunhuang. C.A spiritual feast in a vegetable garden.D.His-strong fascination with a mural exhibition. 25.How did Duan address the challenge of copying the murals? A.By restoring the damaged images.B.By consulting extensive materials carefully. C.By working with mural researchers. D.By producing several copies of the same mural. 26.Why did Chen see Dunhuang studies as a case of"our sad academic history"? 高二仟级英语试卷共10项第4页 A.Overseas studies caused thefts. B.The murals were gradually damaged. C.Chinese scholars showed little interest.D Historical losses led to foreign dominance. 27.Which of the following best describes Duan Wenjie? A Thorough and devoted B.Independent and ambitious. C.Creative and practical. D.Curious and adventurous. c More than 30,000 square miles of the Amazon have been.lost since the 1970s.About 10,000 acres of forest have been destroyed every day since 1988. Now scientists may have a"secret weapon"that could not only help reforest the Amazon, but other damaged forests around the world.And it comes from soil deep in the region's past. The people living along today's Amazonia ameliorated the originally poor soil over many human generations.The soils were enriched with charcoal (from low-mntensity fires for cooking and bumning rubbish,animal bones,broken pottery and so on.The fertile( result of these processes is Amazonian dark earth(ADE).According to a study,it now may help reforest the same area where it was created. Researchers conducted controlled experiments in a lab.They sampled ADE and the control soil and filled 36 pots with about 6.6 pounds of soil inside a greenhouse with an average temperature of 94F,representing future global-warming canditions beyond current average temperatures in Amazonia(between 71 and 82F).One third of the pots only received the control soil,while another third received a 4 to 1 mixture of the control soil and ADE,and the final third received 100%ADE. Following the experiment,the control soils containcd fewer nutrients than they had at the start,which reflects uptake by the plants.However,the 100%ADE soils remained richer than control soils,while nutrient levels were intermediate in the 20 percent ADE soils. "Our dara showed ADE contains microorganisms that are better at this transformation of seils, thus providing more resources for plant devetopment"co-author and biologist Anderson Santos de Freitas said. These results were enough to convince the team that ADE can boost plant growth,but it does come with some caution."ADE has iaken thousands of years to build up and would take an equal time to regenerate in nature if used,"co-author and biologist Siu Mui Tsai said."Our recommendations aren't to take advantage of ADE itself,but rather to copy its characteristics, particularly its microorganisms.for use in future ecological restoration projects." 28.What does the underlined word"ameliorated"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Protected. B.Balanced. C.Provided. D.Transformed. 29.Which aspect of the study does Paragraph 3 talk about? A.Is design B.Its backgrounds.C.Its purposes. D.Its significance. 30.What do the researchers find about ADE? 高二仟级英语试卷共10贝第5项 A.It boosts nutrient supply. B.It fertilizes poor wild soil. C.It consumes microorganisms. D.It affects global warming. 31.What suggestion did Siu Mui Tsai put forward? A.Developing natural ADE fully B.Learning from ADE's features. C.Making ADE products earlier. D.Using ADE to plant more trees. D At a drugstore in Boston,Dr.Elena Voss pauses before shelves stacked with fish oil bottles promising "sharp mind support."She sees the same promise repeated across a billion-dollar industry;one in five adults over 60 swallows these supplements (daily, convinced that omega-3 fatty acids will protect their aging brains.Yet Voss,a neurologist who has studied them for two decades,rarely recommends them. In theory,the logic is sound.These essential nutrients help form brain cell connections needed for cognition,and people with higher levels in their blood tend to have better memory and a lower risk of dementia ()However,clinical studies tell a different story. A two-year study of 365 older adults at risk for Alzheimer's-nearly half carrying the APOE4 genc.the strongest genetic risk factor for the disease-found that high doses of DHA, a key omega-3,did not improve memory or slow hippocampus (shrinkage,even though brain levels of the nutrient rose by 17%."We all wish there was a silver bullet,"said Hussein Yassine,lead investigator of the study."While omega-3s are vital in forming brain cell connections needed for cognition,our results do not support fish oil supplements as a preventive measure against Alzheimer's." Why the gap between promise and proof?Yassine suggests that the answer may lie in individual biology.Genetic differences can influence how effectively the brain uses omega-3s, meaning that simply increasing intake does not guarantee better outcomes.Other researchers point out that nutrients may work differently when consumed in whole diets rather than in isolation-the case with Mediterranean-style diets,where omega-3s naturally occur alongside other protective nutrients. "Staying healthy throughout life remains the most powerful tool we have,"Voss observes. "The brain is more likely to lose function if health issues elsewhere go unaddressed,just as car engines stop working when regular maintenance is skipped."For most people,a plate rich in fish,nuts,and greens may ultimately be wiser than any bottle on the shelf. 32.What is the conclusion of the study in Paragraph 3? A.The APOE4 gene influences omega-3 absorption. B.Higher DHA levels lead to better cognitive function C.Omega-3s promote communication between brain cells. D.Omega-3 supplements show no clear cognitive benefits 33.What does the underlined"the case"refer to in Paragraph 4? 高三年级英语试卷共10贝第6项 A.Simply incrcasing the intakc of omega-3. B.Genetic differences affecting nutrient use C.Nutrients behaving differently in combination. D.Nutrients being less effective when taken alone. 34.What message did Voss convey in the last paragraph? A.Brain health should be given top priority. B.Regular maintenance prevents brain failure. C.Ignoring overall health may lead to brain decline. D.Staying healthy is the key to fighting Alzheimer's. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Promise VS.Proof:Why Nutrients Fail the Brain B mega-3 Supplements:Science Behind the Craze C.From Pills to Plates:How to Maintain Brain Health D.Alzheimer's Prevention:In Search of a Silver Bullet 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下而短文，从短文后的选项选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项 为多余选项。 From Xiaohongshu to TikTok,a growing number of foreign faces are sharing their stories of discovering C-beauty,or made-in-China beauty.In one such video,a beauty influencer holds up products from a Chinese brand and exclaims,"This has to be one of the craziest brands I've ever seen！.36” On Xiaohongshu,a French woman shows her shopping from Shanghai in a video before returning home.3"I always knew Chinese products were good,but buying them in person made me realize just how incredible the quality is,"she says in Mandarin. For many,the appeal of Chinese beauty brands comes from more than just their attractive packaging and modern design.8 Mendes,a 28-year-old Brazilian master's student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University,has attended almost every product expo in Shanghai,testing items from both major and niche domestic brands.She is pleasantly surprised to discover that their quality is as good as that of any renowned overseas brand."I could see,touch,smell and try various products.Many ingredients have been used traditionally for hundreds of years and are embedded in Chinese culture,"says she. 39 They are listed in ancient medical classics and are now widely used in domestic beauty products.This practice reflects the ancient philosophy of gentle and natural skin care.Today,more and more overseas tourists and foreigners are seeking out Chinese cosmetics shops.

Her parcnts described lush palm trecs,warm tropical wind,tasty local snacks and the pcacoful countryside where Grandpa lived.Chesa built a perfect,glowing picture of the Hinara in her mind,dreaming that it would be a wonderful oasis()full of joy and beauty. Al last,the whole family booked flights to visit their relatives.Fall of eager excitemenl, Chesa boarded the planc,counting down the hours until she could step into her imagined paradise.But reality hit her hard the moment they arrived.The air was hot and sticky,full of thick moisture.The roads were narrow and bumpy..Local taxis rumbled(发出轰鸣)noisily along the streets,and simple wooden houses lined the roadside instead of the neat modern buildings she had pictured.Grandpa's small house was plain and narrow,without the comfortable facilities she was used to back in Indiana. Disappointment washed over Chesa again and again.She refuscd to try local food,kept quiet during family gathcrings,and avoided going out with her grandpa.She thought her dream oasis had turned into a dull,uncomfortable place.Grandpa noticed her low spirits and never blamed her.Every day,he gently invited her to tour around the village,yet Chesa always made up excuses to stay inside alone,wrapped in her negative mood.One afternoon,Chesa sat alone on the back porch,staring blankly at the messy yard,feeling regretful and lonely for being so cold to her kind grandpa.She wondered whether she would ever find the "oasis"she had long dreamed of. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Slowly,Grandpa walked over and invited Chesa for a village iour on his motorcycle.

For one thing,most of us have spent years sitting at desks,with our eyesight worsening and energy quietly dropping.A regular PE class would finally guarantee us the weekly exercise we clearly need.For another,PE builds far more than strong bodies-it teaches teamwork,perseverance and fair play,qualities that benefit us long after school. I hope this view finds space in our school English newspaper and sparks a discussion on campus.Thank you for reading! Yours sincerely, Li Hua Sample2 Dear Editor, Knowing our school English newspaper is collecting opinions on adding one weekly non-academic period,I am most eager to recommend Music.I believe it is the most appealing choice for the whole student body. For one thing,music is a natural stress reliever.After long hours of study,even a short song can lift our mood and ease the anxiety many of us quietly carry.For another,a music class opens the door to art education-from singing together to appreciating classic pieces-turning our school into a livelier,more creative place. I hope this view finds space in our school English newspaper and inspires more students to discover the joy of music.Thank you for your time! Yours sincerely, Li Hua Sample3 Dear Editor, Knowing that our school English newspaper is collecting opinions on the planned weekly non-academic period,I strongly recommend Mental Health Education for the following reasons. For one thing,it offers a vivid glimpsc into the quiet struggles we carry-from exam anxicty to friendship troubles-and equips us students with practical skills. For another,it gives us dceper insight into our own emotions.Its value lies not only in skills but also in teaching us to ask for help. It is especially suitable for students who feel overwhelmed but don't know where to turn.The combination of practical skills and emotional support makes it worth recommending.I hope this view finds space in our school English newspaper. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 Slowly,Grandpa walked over and invited Chesa for a village tour on his motorcycle.Hesitantly,she agreed,not wanting to hurt his sincere heart.As the old motorcycle moved slowly along the country road,a brand-new world unfolded before her eyes.Golden rice fields waved gently in the breeze,and clear streams ran quietly through the village.Local villagers greeted them warmly with big smiles, filling the peaceful countryside with warmth.Grandpa pointed at every corner of the village,sharing his sweet childhood memories and simple life stories.Listening patiently,Chesa gradually let go of her prejudice and disappointment.She began to feel the unique beauty and tranquility of this land. From that unforgettable ride,Chesa finally understood the true meaning of an oasis.An oasis was not a perfect,fancy place she had imagined blindly.Instead,it referred to the warmth of family affection and the simple happiness hidden in ordinary life.Ashamed of her previous selfish attitude,Chesa held Grandpa's hand tightly.In the following days,she actively experienced local life,tasted traditional food and chatted with villagers happily.This precious joumey taught her a profound lesson:true beauty lies in love and warmth rather than superficial appearances
