B Most composers devote themselves to creating auditory music for audiences with normal hearing.However, 31-year-old Zhou Mo dedicates her entire artistic career to designing tactile (music,an art form specially created for the deaf and hearing-impaired community.Instead of relying merely on traditional sound waves and musical tones,she creatively transforms delicate musical melodies and rhythms into soft physieat vibratiogs.(), enabling people with hearing disabilities to understand and enjoy music through gentle skin touch rather than listening with ears. Zhou received professional musical composition training during her university years.Her artistic path was completely transformed after she volunteered at a charity concert for deaf teenagers.On that occasion,she witnessed that deaf audiences could barely follow traditional music performances and could hardly appreciate the charm of musical art.Deeply touched by this reality,she was determined to break this barrier()and explore new possibilities for music. After continuous research and numerous trials(),she learned that human skin can sense low-frequency vibrations.Based on this biological principle,she invented accurate vibration devices connected to musical instruments.These devices produce stable vibration patterns in responsc to subtle()changes of musical beats and tones To create a quiet and focused artistic experience,Zhou holds indoor tactile music performances.Audiences place their arms on professional vibration boards and feel the rising and falling of melodies through skin sensations. To make the art accessible,she simplifies complicated musical structures and avoids overly fast rhythms,making vibration signals easy to recognize and understand. Zhou is committed to breaking the long-standing public stereotype()that music belongs only to hearing people.She never intends to replace traditional concerts.Instead,she builds a fair and equal artistic platform for the deaf group.For her,music is essentially a universal language beyond sound,and every individual,regardless of physical conditions,deserves equal rights to appreciate pure artistic beauty. 24.What is the feature of Zhou Mo's tactile music? A.It creates sounds with special instruments B.It enables the deaf to feel music through vibrations. C.It replaces traditional auditory concerts completely. D.It produces fast musical rhythms. 25.What inspired Zhou Mo to invent vibration devices? A.Her major study of human skin structure. B.The poor experience of deaf concert audiences C.Public demand for simple modern music. D.New rules for charitable music performances. 26.What does the text imply about Zhou Mo? A.She holds a negative view on traditional music. B.She profits greatly from music performances. C.She transforms her works for better audience experience. D.She majors in biological science relevant to skin 27.What is the main idea of the text? A The development of modemn musical devices. B.How ordinary people appreciate classical music. C.Equal rights in modern public art education D.Tactile music-a new way to feel art beyond sound. 5 More than 100,000 people in the United States are currently waiting for organ transplants,and many face long delays ()or rejection even when a suitable donor is found.One promising solution is regenerative medicine(再生医学)，which aims to grow personalized organs using a patient's own cells(细胞).Epsuring that oxygen and nutrients can reach every part of a newly grown organ is an ongoing cballenge.Researchers at Stanford have created new tools to design and 3D print the incredibly complex vasealar-()trees needed to cany blood throughout an organ The researchers built an algorithm()to create vascular trees similar to native organ blood vessel structures. They ensured that the vasculature would evenly distribute()blood and successfully shorten the time needed to generate the network.While 3D printers aren't yet up to the task of printing such a fine-scale network,the researchers were able to design and print a vascular model with 500 branches.Using a 3D bio-printer,the researchers created a thick ring loaded with human cells and built a network of 25 vessels running through it. The researchers are quick to note that these vascular networks are not yet functional blood vessels-they don't have muscle cells or anything else that they would need to work on their own."This is the first step toward generating really complex vascular networks,"said Dominic Rutsche,one of the researchers."We can print them at never-before-seen complexities,but they are not yet fully functional vessels.We're working on that." Turning these designs into functioning blood vessels is just one of the many tasks that the researchers are working on."This is a very important step in the process,"Dominic said."We have successfully generated enough heart cells from human stem cells to print the whole human heart,and now we can design a good,complex vascular tree to keep them fed and living.We are now actively putting the two together:cells and vasculature,at organ scale." 28.What does Stanford's research mainly focus on? A.Increasing available donor organs. B.Designing workable vaseular networks. C.Removing deadly organ rejections. D.Developing personalized 3D bio-printers. 29.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the research? A.Its principles. B.Its objectives. C.Its achievements. D.Its process. 30.How does Dominic describe the researeh? A.Practical but costly. B.Promising but imperfect. C.Fruitful but questionable. D.Worthwhile but risky. 6 31.What will the researchers do next? A.Integrate cells and vessels on a larger scale. B.Employ stem cells to print whole organs. C.Generate more cells for further experiments. D.Produce vaseular trees to sustain heart cells. D Hot weather adds to the challenge of competing at the Olympics in summer."The combination of heat and humidity (can really overwhelm an athlete,"says Dr.Francis O'Connor,a professor at Uniformed Services University in Bethesda,Md. One of the best approaches to deal with it,O'Connor says,is heat acelimatization,also known as heat training. The idea involves controlled exposure()to heat stress,which causes changes to the body that help it deal with hot,humid conditions.Heat training is not just for competitive athletes.It's recommended for those who work outdoors in hot weather. Done right,heat training could help people stay a bit more comfortable in the long stretches of heat marking the extraordinarily hot summer of this year and future heat waves expected more frequently due to climate change. The advice from National University of Singapore's Lee is to take it slow and easy,with long rest breaks in between. He says,"Exereise every other day gradually in a hot environment.On Monday,go for a 15-minute walk,rest on Tuesday,go for a 30-minute walk on Wednesday,rest on Thursday-you get the idea." Over several weeks of regular heat exposure,the body starts to adapt to cool down more efficiently."The very clear one is an increase in your ability to sweat,which cools the body down,"Lee says. While beat training might help some,it won't be a cure-all for extreme heat.Instead,it's a piece of a larger strategy for how to approach the hot days safely.When it comes to heat,stay cool,stay hydrated()and stay connected by checking on your friends,family and neighbours throughout heat season. And if you're out in the heat-keep an eye out for signs of heat illness in yourself or those around you.If you're having a terrible headache,this is really a time to tell yourself you've got to step back,cool down,slow your pace. 32.What is O'Connor's main concem for athletes at the Olympics in summer? A.The challenge of language barsiers. B.The extreme heat and humidity. C.The absence of security measures. D.The lack of suitable training facilities. 33.What does Lee suggest doing to approach heat training? 7 A.Exercising at night to avoid heat hours. B.Gradually increasing exposure to heat with rest in between. C.Using fans and air conditioning during training D.Performing workouts daily within 30 minutes. 34.What benefit is associated with regular heat exposure? A Increased efficiency in cooling the body. B.Decreased need for sunscreen. C.Reduced need for hydration during physical activity. D.Enhanced resistance to extreme weather conditions. 35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.Climate Change and Its Impact on Sports Events B.Strategies for Coping with Hot Weather Conditions C.Challenges of Competing in the Summer Olympics D Understanding Heat Acclimatization and Its Benefits 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。 Nowadays,when we are hungry,we can place orders just with a few taps on our phones.36.With such instant access to meals from a wide range ofrestaurants,food delivery platforms offer unmatched convenience. But behind this pleasant experience lie many unseen side effects. 37meals from online restaurants may offer more food options,but we may enjoy much less socialization:Workers simply drop off food,perhaps ring the doorbell,and leave.Without the need for human contact,we may gradually isolate (ourselves. Health risks are another overlooked negative effect.Compared to meals made in traditional restaurants,meals from online restaurants often prioritize()taste and appearance.They frequently come at the expense of nutrition.38 Furthermore,the environmental cost eannot be ignored.A recent report found that an increasing pereentage of plastic waste discovered in the ocean came from takeout packaging.39 Additionally,the plastic waste contributes significantly to carbon emissions and climate change. 8 Though the rise of food delivery may feed our society's hunger for convenience,it will finally starve our communities of connection,health,and sustainability(可持续性)._4__，Once we choose home cooking or dining out more often,we can rebuild the social bonds and live in a healthier and greener way. A.They bring more convenience to busy people B.Very soon,our meals will arrive at our doorsteps C.As a result,delivered food tends to be less healthy D.So it is high time that we reflected on our eating habits B It has already become a serious threat to the sea creatures F.On top of that,the rise in delivery food worsens the situation G.To begin with,the convenience often comes at the cost of connection 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。 I've finally faced the fear that has troubled me for 30 years.Like millions,I fear flying.When my daughter moved to Beijing,I knew I had to 41 it.

One Saturday,their parents announced a family outing to a nearby lake.Lily packed her bag with sketchbooks( )paints,and a set of brushes,imagining the perfect landscape she would create-the kind of painting that would look like a photograph.When they arrived,Lily found a fiat rock by the water,set up her materials,and began sketching the scene before her. 11 She measured the hills against the sky,adjusted the angle of each tree branch,and mixed the paints on her palette (调色盘)like a scientist doing an experiment.She leaned倚着in close,,her brush hanging in the air for a long time before it touched the paper.Every stroke (was carefully planned.She frowned as she focused and hardly noticed the laughter around her.Her parents once cailed her over to join their games,but she turned them down without hesitation.Some children were playing nearby,and some others were chatting on the grass,but Lily didn't look up.The world around her had shrunk to the size of her sketchbook. While Lily was capturing every detail,her younger brother Jake had been walking along the shoreline since early afternoon,getting bored.He kicked at stones,threw sticks into the water,and sang loudly.Each time Lily glanced up,she found Jake making faces or pretending to fish with a long branch.She drove him away,but he only moved a few steps off before coming back."Jake,ust leave me alone!"she said,yet the boy stayed nearby,waving a long branch beside her painting. 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。 Suddenly,something unexpected happened. Hearing their words,Lily took a close look at the damaged painting. 12
