There was an old bookstore on the corner of my street. I discovered it one sunny afternoon
when I was exploring the neighborhood. The moment I pushed open the door, a unique aroma(
芳香) embraced me. The shelves were stuffed with books of every genre and age. I could see
the spines of well-loved classics, rare first editions, and forgotten treasures. The owner, a
middle-aged man with glasses and a warm smile, was busy tidying up. He greeted me and told
me to feel free to look around. I started browsing and was immediately fascinated by a
collection of old travelogues that seemed to hold the secrets of far-off lands.
Over the following weeks, I became a regular. I would spend hours there, losing myself in
the pages of different books. Sometimes, the owner would recommend a particular book based
on our conversations. His knowledge and passion for literature were truly inspiring.
司 高三英语 试题 第 3页 共 8页
However, change was on the horizon. The city was developing rapidly, and new, modern
shops were replacing the old ones. One day, I noticed a sense of gloom in the bookstore. The
owner informed me that due to the skyrocketing rent and the competition from online
bookstores, he was struggling to keep the doors open. It seemed that this little shelter of
literature might soon disappear.
I was determined not to let that happen. I reached out to my schoolmates and local
community groups. We organized a book fair in front of the bookstore, inviting local authors
and artists to participate. We also set up an online crowdfunding page to collect
donations.People from all over the neighborhood came to show their support. They bought
books,donated money, and shared their own memories of the bookstore.
Thanks to the collective efforts, we managed to raise enough funds to cover the rent for a
while.The bookstore survived this crisis. A community’s love and support can preserve
something truly valuable. The old bookstore was not just a place to buy books; it was a
cornerstone of our community’s cultural and emotional heritage, and it was worth every bit of
the fight to save it.
24. What caught the writer’s attention the most during his first visit to the bookstore
A . The packed book shelves. B. The ancient travel accounts.
C. The friendly and devoted shop owner. D. The rich collection of literature classics.
25. Why did the bookstore face the risk of shutting down
A. Poor management of the store.
B. Rising rent and e-commerce pressure.
C. A decrease in people’s interest in literature.
D. The run-down condition and out-of-style decorations. 26. Which of the following best describes the writer
A. Warm-hearted and influential. B. Inspiring and economical.
C. Reserved and passionate. D. Ambitious and knowledgeable.
27. That of the following toes the writer mainly emphasize in the passage
A. The crucial role of joint efforts in conserving cultural treasure. B. The negative impact of urban expansion on personal hobbies.
C. The marked advantage of small local businesses over large ones. D. The unavoidable replacement of old traditions by modern trends.

What if there is no blood left in the bank when patients need an immediate transfusion(输
血) Scientists in Britain plan to become the first in the world to produce unlimited amounts of
human blood from embryonic stem cells(胚胎干细胞) for emergency transfusions.
A major research project is to be announced this week, which will end in three years with
the first transfusions into human volunteers of synthetic (人造的) blood made from the stem
cells of embryos. It could help to save the lives of anyone from victims of traffic accidents to
soldiers on a battlefield by completely changing the present blood transfusion services, which
have to rely on human donors to provide a constant supply of fresh blood.
Britain will play a vital role in the global race to develop synthetic blood. The Wellcome
Trust, the world’s biggest medical research charity, has promised 3m towards the cost of the
project. A spokesman for the Wellcome Trust said that an announcement is likely to be made in
the coming week.
The project will be led by Professor Marc Turner of Edinburgh University, who has been
involved in studies investigating how to ensure donated blood is infection-free. Researchers
will test human embryos to find those that can develop into the“O-negative” blood group,which
is the universal donor group whose blood can be transfused into anyone. This blood group is
relatively rare, accounting for about 7% of the population, but it could be produced in
unlimited quantities from embryonic stem cells in the laboratory. Such synthetic blood would
司 高三英语 试题 第 4页 共 8页
have the benefit of not being at risk of being infected with viruses such as HIV and the human
form of “mad cow” disease.
The project was held up because of the difficulty of finding funding for “translational”
research that attempts to take scientific studies in the laboratory into the earliest stages of
commercial development. This problem has now been overcome.
28. What is the primary objective of the project
A. To save the lives of accident victims.
B. To inspire more voluntary blood donors.
C. To produce sufficient blood for emergencies.
D. To transform the present blood transfusion services.
29. Why does the author mention Professor Marc Turner’s studies
A. To praise his effort to the research.
B. To show the project leader’s expertise.
C. To emphasize the importance of his research.
D. To illustrate the rareness of the “O-negative” blood group. 30. In what way will synthetic blood be superior to normal blood
A. It will help patients to recover sooner.
B. It will avoid the risk of various infections. C. It will cure the patients of their diseases.
D. It will be offered to transfusion patients for free. 31. How does the writer sound in the text
A. Excited. B. Critical. C. Pessimistic. D. Informative.
D
However much we learn from things going wrong, we will never become the best
decision-makers. This finding comes from a mathematical game that simulates (模拟) a large
economy, and suggests we may need to rethink assumptions built into economic theories. In
such theories, people are typically represented as reasonable agents who learn from past
experiences to enhance their performance, eventually reaching a stable state in which they
know how to maximize their earnings.
To test whether economists are correct to assume that learning from the past can help
people avoid chaos rather than stability, Garnier-Brun and his colleagues invented a
mathematical model for a game featuring hundreds of simulated players. Each player can
choose between two actions, like buying or selling a stock. They also interact with each
other.and the players’ decision-making is influenced by what they have done before ——
meaning they are able to learn from experience.
In different game scenarios(设想), the researchers expected that the game would always
result in chaos, with players unable to learn how to optimize their performance. Economic
theory would also suggest that, given the right set of parameters(参数), the players would settle
into a stable state where they had mastered the game — but the researchers found this wasn’t
really the case. The most likely outcome was a state that never settled.
Team member Jean-Philippe Bouchaud says that, in the absence of one
centralized,god-like player who could coordinate everyone, regular players could only learn
how to reach “satisficing” states. That is a level that satisfied minimum expectations but not
much more.Players gained more than they would have done by playing at random, so learning
wasn’t useless, but they still gained less than they would have if past experience had allowed
them to truly optimize their performance.
Bouchaud says the game model is too simple to be immediately adopted for making
real-world predictions, but he sees the study as a challenge to economists to drop many
assumptions that currently go into theorizing processes, like merchants choosing suppliers or
banks setting interest rates.

32. What effect of past experiences do economists suppose
A. Better decisions and higher income. B. A state of confusion and disorder.
C. Ignorance of future opportunities. D. Decreased interactions between people.
33. Why did Garnier-Brun and his colleagues create a mathematical model
A. To simulate a large economy. B. To predict future economic trends.
C. To analyze interactions between players. D. To assess the assumption of economists.
34. The underlined word “satisficing” in Paragraph 5 most probably means .
A. highly satisfying B. constantly improving
C. minimally acceptable D.completely unpredictable
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Reevaluating Economic Assumptions through a Game Model B. A Mathematical Game Model for Simulating Large Economies
C. Challenges in Predicting Economic Stability through Games

Winners Never Quit
There was a young boy named Jackson who had a burning desire to become a great chess
player. He lived in a small town where chess was unpopular. The lack of proper coaches or
training facilities nearby didn’t dampen his spirits at all, for his fascination with the game knew
no bounds.
Every day after school, he would dash home eagerly and set up his old chessboard. For
hours on end, he would study books borrowed from the library, his eyes scanning the pages
attentively in an attempt to absorb new strategies. He practiced against himself religiously,
moving the pieces back and forth, his mind deeply engaged in analyzing each move with care.
When he took part in local chess matches, he was frequently underestimated. The
tournament hall was filled with noisy people. The other players, armed with better resources
and professional training, laughed at his simple techniques.
In one particular tournament, as he sat at the table for his first game, he could feel the eyes
on him. His opponent made quick and decisive opening moves. Jackson, though nervous,
focused hard. But soon, he found himself in a difficult position as his opponent’s pieces
advanced aggressively. He lost the game and was very disappointed.
In the next game, the situation was no better. His opponent’s fingers moved swiftly over
the pieces,while Jackson’s hands were a bit sweaty as he tried to keep up, with his strategies
easily countered (对抗). The taunts(嘲弄) of his opponents rang in his ears, but he refused to
be disheartened.
During the break, he sat alone in the corner, replaying the games in his mind to identify
his mistakes. Realizing the need to be more creative and bold in his move, he immersed himself
deeper into analyzing of the games of the chess masters for inspiration. With every page he
read and every move he analyzed, his determination grew like a burning fire.
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。
Paragraph 1:
With a new-found determination, Jackson told himself that winners never quit. Paragraph 2:
In the final moments of the game, the pressure was intense.
