Samantha “Sammi” Janower
Samantha “Sammi” Janower, now 18 years old, was told 15 years ago that she had cancer. Chemotherapy (化疗) is the only choice, so Sammi underwent 15 months of chemo, at the age of three. Today, her dad says the cancer survivor is determined to help other kids avoid having to go through what she has gone through. To that end, in 2017 her team of cyclists, Team Samantha, raised more than $327,000 for the hospital that saved her life by riding 192 miles in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), a bike a-thon across their home state of Massachusetts. One hundred percent of every dollar raised goes directly to the doctors and research that work on cancers like hers.
Annika Viswesh
Eighth-grade student Annika Viswesh, who attends the Stratford School in Sunnyvale, California, became legally blind when she was just one year old due to a condition known as amblyopia (弱视). Various methods have helped to improve her sight over the years, but more than anything it was that very experience that pushed her to search for better ways to treat and manage the condition, which affects about 12 million children worldwide. So, she created the Oculus Patch Assistant which helps to simplify and improve the effectiveness of amblyopia treatment. She is now working with doctors at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation to conduct field testing.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking hone at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines(台词). I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life bad become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block(街区) from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho ” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for ” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

Christmas is a lovely time of year if you are lucky enough to be well, to have friends and family around you and to feel in control of your life. However, for many people it is a time that they are afraid of. As the nights draw in during the winter, many older people talk about how much more difficult it is to be on their own.
In a recent interview, Jacqueline Wilson expressed her concerns about children also feeling worried. But I was heartened by her suggestion in another interview that she hopes her books will reassure (使……消除疑虑) children going through a difficult time and make them feel as if they’re not alone.
If reading can, as Jacqueline suggests, provide reassurance and a sense of connection, it has never been more important. Reading could transform one in four adults who experience mental health issues in their lifetime, the 850,000 people in the UK living with dementia (痴呆症) and the one in ten older people who feel lonely.
We always know that a book could be a great Christmas present, but can it also change our lives Our research at The Reading Agency suggests that it can. We have found evidence to show that reading can benefit our well-being and help us make social connections.
People who read regularly are more satisfied with life and more likely to feel that the things they do are worthwhile; reading for pleasure can also increase sympathy, improve relationships, reduce symptoms of depression and improve well-being.
We are developing a new programme, Reading Friends, which will use reading to connect weak older people. In researching the programme, we found that reading with others can help older people build social networks.
Read a book with your children, parents or grandparents over Christmas; make a new year’s resolution to start a reading group with friends, and introduce reading to your community. You could be giving them the gift they most want this year.
61. What did Jacqueline Wilson worry about
A. Children feeling lonely.
B. Old people being given less care.
C. Reading becoming less important than before.
D. More and more people suffering from dementia.
62. Who is the programme Reading Friends designed for
A. Adults. B. Children. C. Friends. D. Old people.
63. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To call on people to read together.
B. To show the importance of reading.
C. To ask people to buy what they want for Christmas.
D. To encourage readers to share their feelings with others.
64. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of reading according to the passage
A. Helping to make a new year’s resolution
B. Improving our mental health.
C. Helping people making friends.
D. Reducing symptoms of depression
65. What is the best title for the text
A. Reading helps people make friends.
B. A book is not just for Christmas.
C. The best Christmas present.
D. Health benefits of reading.
D
As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become more advanced, we can expect them to be used more often in the world of human medicine and healthcare. AI is designed to imitate(模仿) the human brain in decision making and learning, so with the computing power to learn tasks in days or even hours, it is possible to create medical AIs that rapidly outperform doctors in certain tasks.
Data plays a hugely important part in helping AI systems learn about human medicine. AI systems are trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. Providing detailed patient information in quantities is a crucial factor for their success.
One of the most important areas for influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology(流行病学). Predicting disease outbreaks can save millions of lives by having resources ready should the worst happen. Startup AIME has successfully combined public health data with machine learning and AI to create a prediction engine capable of anticipating epidemics months in advance with great accuracy.
Another field where medical AIs are making rapid advances is in diagnostics(诊断学). Doctors base a lot of decisions on information from X-ray, CT and MRI images. Speeding up diagnoses from patient scans can rapidly improve patient care and puter vision(视觉) AIs use pattern recognition to work through these images with incredible speed and accuracy. They have been able to outperform junior doctors and even senior specialists in some tests.
Cardiologist(心脏科医生) Rima Arnaout developed an AI that beat human experts at correctly interpreting echocardiograms(超声心动图) by 92 percent to 79 percent. She said that despite the result there is no prospect of AI replacing human doctors any time soon. “As cardiologists, we read the images and then go to see the patient,” she said. “So we’re both reading images and practicing medicine. I don’t think that the second piece will be taken over so quickly.”
The acceptance of AI in medicine will continue to gather pace in the future as it becomes more widespread.
66.What plays a big role in helping AI systems know about human medicine
A. Certain task. B. Large data. C. The skill to imitate. D. The increasing demand.
67.Why is Startup AIME mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To illustrate predicting disease is possible.
B. To call on doctors to focus on public health data.
C. To prove it’s a successful company in global health.
D To let readers realize the importance of early success.
68.What does the underlined word “outperform”probably mean in Paragraph 4
A. do better than. B.cooperate with. C.learn from. D. follow the advice of.
69.What do Rima Amaout’s words in paragraph 5 imply
A. AIs are not so smart as human doctors.
B. It’s not easy for AIs to take the place of human doctors.
C. A cooperation between AIs and human doctors is a must.
D. Human doctors are playing a big role in practicing medicine.
70.What is the main idea of the passage
A. AI will replace human doctors in the near future.
B. AI is improving medicine through data and advanced technology.
C. AI is only useful for predicting disease outbreaks.
D. AI cannot outperform doctors in medical diagnostics.

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although be couldn’t give me a lift, I should come to his house for lunch... He noticed me standing for hours in the extreme heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured me I was safe and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the scorching heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk,the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”
I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

四、阅读理解
51. B原句Chemotherapy (化疗) is the only choice, so Sammi underwent 15 months of chemo, at the age of three. 化疗是唯一的选择，所以Sammi在3岁时经历了15个月的化疗。 52. C根据文章第一段的句子One hundred percent of every dollar raised goes directly to the doctors and research that work on cancers like hers.每筹集到一美元，就有百分之百的资金直接用于治疗像她这样的癌症的医生和研究。可知，Sammi成立Samantha团队支持癌症研究。 53. A根据文章第二段的句子 Various methods have helped to improve her sight over the years, but more than anything it was that very experience that pushed her to search for better ways to treat and manage the condition, which affects about 12 million children worldwide.多年来，各种方法都有助于改善她的视力，但最重要的是，正是这种经验促使她寻找更好的方法来治疗和管理这种影响全球约1200万儿童的疾病。可知，安妮卡努力帮助盲人看得更清楚。 54. B根据文章第三段的句子‘Don’t wait until you are an adult to be great,’” Jahkil said. “‘You can be great now!’‘“不要等到你成年后才变得伟大，’”贾基尔说，“‘你现在可以变得伟大了！’”可知，根据 Jahkil所说，孩子们应该采取行动为社区做出贡献。 55. C第一段Sammi为癌症研究筹款，帮助病患儿童；第二段Annika研发工具改善弱视治疗；第三段Jahkil通过捐赠物资支持无家可归者。三人的共同点在于以不同方式帮助有需要的人群。
B篇是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者孤身在圣弗朗西斯科工作，因为工作有了阻碍，使得作者灰心丧气，而她在回家路上丢了钱包，又失而复得的事情使得她重新对在这座城市待下去有了信心。 56. D根据第一段“That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.(在那个寒冷的一月夜晚，我开始厌倦旧金山的生活。凌晨一点，我在剧院疲惫地练习完，步行回家。离开幕之夜只有一周了，我还在学习台词。我在银行的兼职工作和晚上的表演同时遇到了麻烦。走着走着，我认真地想过要放弃表演和旧金山。城市生活对我来说已经变得难以忍受了)”可推知，作者在下班回家的路上感到失望和无助。 57. D第一段提到 With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines.，说明作者在忙着为首次演出做准备。A选项解决银行问题不是主要的；B选项参加各种城市活动文中没体现；C选项在夜校学表演也不对，是在为演出做准备。 58. A第四段中的Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.(尽管我焦急地在人行道上找了15分钟，我的钱包还是没有找到)可知，在回家的路上，作者不知不觉地把钱包丢了。 59. C第五段中的Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho ”(正当我准备放弃搜寻时，我听到垃圾车停在我旁边的人行道上。当一个声音从里面传来，“艾丽莎·卡马乔？”)可知，作者说她在做梦，因为她听到有人叫她的名字。 60. B根据文章最后一句I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.(我意识到，只要人们愿意互相帮助，这座城市就不会是一个糟糕的地方)可知，作者觉得这个城市没有自己想的那么糟糕。由此推知，作者将继续留在旧金山。
C篇大意是读书能使人摆脱孤独，强健心灵，建立社会联系。把书当做圣诞节礼物是个不 错的选择。 61. A根据第二段第一句In a recent interview, Jacqueline Wilson expressed her concerns about children also feeling worried.可知Jacqueline Wilson对感到忧虑的孩子表达了她的关心。 62. D根据第六段第一句We are developing a new programme, Reading Friends, which will use reading to connect weak older people. 可知，这个项目是为老年人准备的。 63. A根据最后一段第一句Read a book with your children, parents or grandparents over Christmas可知，作者是呼吁大家一起读书。 64. A第五段明确列举了阅读的好处：提升生活满足感、增强同理心、改善人际关系、减少抑郁症状等（对应选项B、C、D）。而选项A的“制定新年决心”是作者建议的行动（make a resolution to start a reading group），并非阅读本身的直接益处。 65. B文章强调阅读的长期价值，不仅作为圣诞礼物，还能持续改善心理健康和社交联系。 “书籍是终身的，而非仅限圣诞节”，直接呼应这一主题，因此答案为B。
D篇是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能(AI)系统人类医学和医疗保健领域的应用。 66. B根据第二段“Data plays a hugely important role in helping AI systems learn about human medicine.(数据在帮助人工智能系统了解人类医学方面发挥着非常重要的作用。)”可知，在帮助人工智能系统了解人类医学方面，大数据发挥了重要作用。 67. A根据第三段“Startup AIME has successfully combined public health data with machine learning and AI to create a prediction engine capable of anticipating epidemics months in advance with great accuracy.(创业公司AIME成功地将公共健康数据与机器学习和人工智能相结合，创建了一个预测引擎，能够非常准确地提前几个月预测流行病。)”可知，这里提到Startup AIME是为了说明预测疾病是可能的。 68. A原句They have been able to outperform junior doctors and even senior specialists in some tests.在一些测试中，他们的表现已经超过了初级医生，甚至是高级专家。 69. B根据第五段中Rima Arnaout说的话So we’re both reading images and practicing medicine. I don’t think that the second piece will be taken over so quickly.(所以我们在阅读图像的同时也在行医。我不认为第二部分会这么快被接管。)可推断，Rima Arnaout认为，尽管结果如此，但AI不可能很快取代人类医生。 70. B. 全文围绕AI在医疗领域的应用展开，核心论点为：通过大数据和先进技术（如机器学习、计算机视觉），AI在流行病预测、影像诊断等任务中提升了医疗水平，但短期内不会完全替代医生。选项B全面概括了这一主旨，其他选项均片面或与文意矛盾。

第二节
Dear Chris, I was thrilled to hear that your school is organizing a summer camp in China! Welcome to my homeland! I can’t wait to show you around and share our rich culture with you. Among the three themes, I’d highly recommend the Tang poems camp . Tang poetry is a treasure of Chinese literature, reflecting ancient philosophies, emotions, and history. By learning these poems, you’ll gain deep insights into Chinese values and artistic traditions. Additionally, many activities in this camp, like reciting poems in scenic spots or trying calligraphy, will make your experience immersive and unforgettable. It’s also a fantastic way to improve your Chinese language skills while connecting with local students who share your interests. As for life tips, summer here can be hot and humid, so pack light clothes, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle. Don’t hesitate to try local dishes like dumplings, but inform restaurants about any food allergies in advance. Lastly, carrying a translation app might help ease communication. I’m sure whichever camp you choose will be amazing, but Tang poems will truly let you feel the soul of China. Let me know your decision and I’m already excited for your adventure! Yours, Li Jin
Dear Chris, I’m thrilled to hear that your school is organizing a summer camp in China! Welcome to my homeland and I’m sure you’ll have an unforgettable experience here. After careful consideration, I highly recommend the Paper-Cutting Learning Camp for you. Firstly, paper-cutting is a typical Chinese folk art that dates back over 1,500 years. It’s not just about crafting beautiful patterns but also a window into Chinese cultural symbols, festivals, and traditions. For example, you’ll learn how to create designs symbolizing luck, happiness, or harvest, which are deeply rooted in our history. Unlike Tang poems which focus on literature or table tennis which emphasizes sports, paper-cutting allows hands-on creativity. You can take your finished works home as meaningful souvenirs, sharing Chinese culture with friends in the UK. Additionally, many camps invite master artisans to teach techniques, ensuring an authentic learning experience. It can be hot and humid in summer, so pack lightweight, breathable clothing and sunscreen. Drink enough water in time, especially during outdoor activities. Don’t hesitate to try local delicious snacks like dumplings or mooncakes! If you need help communicating, download a translation application beforehand. I hope this suggestion helps! Feel free to ask me more questions. Looking forward to hosting you soon! Yours, Li Jin

A
Samantha “Sammi” Janower
Samantha “Sammi” Janower, now 18 years old, was told 15 years ago that she had cancer. Chemotherapy (化疗) is the only choice, so Sammi underwent 15 months of chemo, at the age of three. Today, her dad says the cancer survivor is determined to help other kids avoid having to go through what she has gone through. To that end, in 2017 her team of cyclists, Team Samantha, raised more than $327,000 for the hospital that saved her life by riding 192 miles in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), a bike a-thon across their home state of Massachusetts. One hundred percent of every dollar raised goes directly to the doctors and research that work on cancers like hers.
Annika Viswesh
Eighth-grade student Annika Viswesh, who attends the Stratford School in Sunnyvale, California, became legally blind when she was just one year old due to a condition known as amblyopia (弱视). Various methods have helped to improve her sight over the years, but more than anything it was that very experience that pushed her to search for better ways to treat and manage the condition, which affects about 12 million children worldwide. So, she created the Oculus Patch Assistant which helps to simplify and improve the effectiveness of amblyopia treatment. She is now working with doctors at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation to conduct field testing.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking hone at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines(台词). I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life bad become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block(街区) from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho ” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. “Is this what you’re looking for ” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

Christmas is a lovely time of year if you are lucky enough to be well, to have friends and family around you and to feel in control of your life. However, for many people it is a time that they are afraid of. As the nights draw in during the winter, many older people talk about how much more difficult it is to be on their own.
In a recent interview, Jacqueline Wilson expressed her concerns about children also feeling worried. But I was heartened by her suggestion in another interview that she hopes her books will reassure (使……消除疑虑) children going through a difficult time and make them feel as if they’re not alone.
If reading can, as Jacqueline suggests, provide reassurance and a sense of connection, it has never been more important. Reading could transform one in four adults who experience mental health issues in their lifetime, the 850,000 people in the UK living with dementia (痴呆症) and the one in ten older people who feel lonely.
We always know that a book could be a great Christmas present, but can it also change our lives Our research at The Reading Agency suggests that it can. We have found evidence to show that reading can benefit our well-being and help us make social connections.
People who read regularly are more satisfied with life and more likely to feel that the things they do are worthwhile; reading for pleasure can also increase sympathy, improve relationships, reduce symptoms of depression and improve well-being.
We are developing a new programme, Reading Friends, which will use reading to connect weak older people. In researching the programme, we found that reading with others can help older people build social networks.
Read a book with your children, parents or grandparents over Christmas; make a new year’s resolution to start a reading group with friends, and introduce reading to your community. You could be giving them the gift they most want this year.
61. What did Jacqueline Wilson worry about
A. Children feeling lonely.
B. Old people being given less care.
C. Reading becoming less important than before.
D. More and more people suffering from dementia.
62. Who is the programme Reading Friends designed for
A. Adults. B. Children. C. Friends. D. Old people.
63. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To call on people to read together.
B. To show the importance of reading.
C. To ask people to buy what they want for Christmas.
D. To encourage readers to share their feelings with others.
64. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of reading according to the passage
A. Helping to make a new year’s resolution
B. Improving our mental health.
C. Helping people making friends.
D. Reducing symptoms of depression
65. What is the best title for the text
A. Reading helps people make friends.
B. A book is not just for Christmas.
C. The best Christmas present.
D. Health benefits of reading.

As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become more advanced, we can expect them to be used more often in the world of human medicine and healthcare. AI is designed to imitate(模仿) the human brain in decision making and learning, so with the computing power to learn tasks in days or even hours, it is possible to create medical AIs that rapidly outperform doctors in certain tasks.
Data plays a hugely important part in helping AI systems learn about human medicine. AI systems are trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. Providing detailed patient information in quantities is a crucial factor for their success.
One of the most important areas for influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology(流行病学). Predicting disease outbreaks can save millions of lives by having resources ready should the worst happen. Startup AIME has successfully combined public health data with machine learning and AI to create a prediction engine capable of anticipating epidemics months in advance with great accuracy.
Another field where medical AIs are making rapid advances is in diagnostics(诊断学). Doctors base a lot of decisions on information from X-ray, CT and MRI images. Speeding up diagnoses from patient scans can rapidly improve patient care and puter vision(视觉) AIs use pattern recognition to work through these images with incredible speed and accuracy. They have been able to outperform junior doctors and even senior specialists in some tests.
Cardiologist(心脏科医生) Rima Arnaout developed an AI that beat human experts at correctly interpreting echocardiograms(超声心动图) by 92 percent to 79 percent. She said that despite the result there is no prospect of AI replacing human doctors any time soon. “As cardiologists, we read the images and then go to see the patient,” she said. “So we’re both reading images and practicing medicine.

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although be couldn’t give me a lift, I should come to his house for lunch... He noticed me standing for hours in the extreme heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured me I was safe and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the scorching heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk,the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”
I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

参考答案
二、单项选择
16. B。 “percent of + 名词”作主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于of后面的名词。“sixty percent of the students”中students是复数，所以谓语用are；“the rest of + 名词”作主语时，谓语动词的单复数也取决于of后面的名词，这里them指代students，是复数，所以谓语也用are。 17.

D。A选项“now that”意为“既然”。B选项“as if”是“好像”。C选项“only if”是“只要……就”。 D选项“so that”表示“以便，为了”，Cathy辞职是为了能待在家照顾家人，符合语境。 24.

C。“can’t have done”表示对过去情况的否定推测，因为他的咖啡还是热的，所以乔治不可能走太远。“must have done”表示对过去情况的肯定推测；“might have done”表示过去可能做了某事；“needn’t have done”表示本不必做某事。 27.

B。“originate from”表示“起源于”，这里用现在分词短语“originating from”作后置定语，修饰“timepieces”，因为“timepieces”和“originate from”是主动关系。 30.

四、阅读理解
51. B原句Chemotherapy (化疗) is the only choice, so Sammi underwent 15 months of chemo, at the age of three. 化疗是唯一的选择，所以Sammi在3岁时经历了15个月的化疗。 52. C根据文章第一段的句子One hundred percent of every dollar raised goes directly to the doctors and research that work on cancers like hers.每筹集到一美元，就有百分之百的资金直接用于治疗像她这样的癌症的医生和研究。可知，Sammi成立Samantha团队支持癌症研究。 53. A根据文章第二段的句子 Various methods have helped to improve her sight over the years, but more than anything it was that very experience that pushed her to search for better ways to treat and manage the condition, which affects about 12 million children worldwide.多年来，各种方法都有助于改善她的视力，但最重要的是，正是这种经验促使她寻找更好的方法来治疗和管理这种影响全球约1200万儿童的疾病。可知，安妮卡努力帮助盲人看得更清楚。 54. B根据文章第三段的句子‘Don’t wait until you are an adult to be great,’” Jahkil said. “‘You can be great now!’‘“不要等到你成年后才变得伟大，’”贾基尔说，“‘你现在可以变得伟大了！’”可知，根据 Jahkil所说，孩子们应该采取行动为社区做出贡献。 55. C第一段Sammi为癌症研究筹款，帮助病患儿童；第二段Annika研发工具改善弱视治疗；第三段Jahkil通过捐赠物资支持无家可归者。三人的共同点在于以不同方式帮助有需要的人群。
B篇是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者孤身在圣弗朗西斯科工作，因为工作有了阻碍，使得作者灰心丧气，而她在回家路上丢了钱包，又失而复得的事情使得她重新对在这座城市待下去有了信心。 56. D根据第一段“That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.(在那个寒冷的一月夜晚，我开始厌倦旧金山的生活。凌晨一点，我在剧院疲惫地练习完，步行回家。离开幕之夜只有一周了，我还在学习台词。我在银行的兼职工作和晚上的表演同时遇到了麻烦。走着走着，我认真地想过要放弃表演和旧金山。城市生活对我来说已经变得难以忍受了)”可推知，作者在下班回家的路上感到失望和无助。 57. D第一段提到 With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines.，说明作者在忙着为首次演出做准备。A选项解决银行问题不是主要的；B选项参加各种城市活动文中没体现；C选项在夜校学表演也不对，是在为演出做准备。 58. A第四段中的Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.(尽管我焦急地在人行道上找了15分钟，我的钱包还是没有找到)可知，在回家的路上，作者不知不觉地把钱包丢了。 59. C第五段中的Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho ”(正当我准备放弃搜寻时，我听到垃圾车停在我旁边的人行道上。当一个声音从里面传来，“艾丽莎·卡马乔？”)可知，作者说她在做梦，因为她听到有人叫她的名字。 60. B根据文章最后一句I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.(我意识到，只要人们愿意互相帮助，这座城市就不会是一个糟糕的地方)可知，作者觉得这个城市没有自己想的那么糟糕。由此推知，作者将继续留在旧金山。
C篇大意是读书能使人摆脱孤独，强健心灵，建立社会联系。把书当做圣诞节礼物是个不 错的选择。 61. A根据第二段第一句In a recent interview, Jacqueline Wilson expressed her concerns about children also feeling worried.可知Jacqueline Wilson对感到忧虑的孩子表达了她的关心。 62. D根据第六段第一句We are developing a new programme, Reading Friends, which will use reading to connect weak older people. 可知，这个项目是为老年人准备的。 63.

A第五段明确列举了阅读的好处：提升生活满足感、增强同理心、改善人际关系、减少抑郁症状等（对应选项B、C、D）。而选项A的“制定新年决心”是作者建议的行动（make a resolution to start a reading group），并非阅读本身的直接益处。 65. B文章强调阅读的长期价值，不仅作为圣诞礼物，还能持续改善心理健康和社交联系。 “书籍是终身的，而非仅限圣诞节”，直接呼应这一主题，因此答案为B。
D篇是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能(AI)系统人类医学和医疗保健领域的应用。 66. B根据第二段“Data plays a hugely important role in helping AI systems learn about human medicine.(数据在帮助人工智能系统了解人类医学方面发挥着非常重要的作用。)”可知，在帮助人工智能系统了解人类医学方面，大数据发挥了重要作用。 67. A根据第三段“Startup AIME has successfully combined public health data with machine learning and AI to create a prediction engine capable of anticipating epidemics months in advance with great accuracy.(创业公司AIME成功地将公共健康数据与机器学习和人工智能相结合，创建了一个预测引擎，能够非常准确地提前几个月预测流行病。)”可知，这里提到Startup AIME是为了说明预测疾病是可能的。 68. A原句They have been able to outperform junior doctors and even senior specialists in some tests.在一些测试中，他们的表现已经超过了初级医生，甚至是高级专家。 69. B根据第五段中Rima Arnaout说的话So we’re both reading images and practicing medicine. I don’t think that the second piece will be taken over so quickly.(所以我们在阅读图像的同时也在行医。我不认为第二部分会这么快被接管。)可推断，Rima Arnaout认为，尽管结果如此，但AI不可能很快取代人类医生。 70. B. 全文围绕AI在医疗领域的应用展开，核心论点为：通过大数据和先进技术（如机器学习、计算机视觉），AI在流行病预测、影像诊断等任务中提升了医疗水平，但短期内不会完全替代医生。选项B全面概括了这一主旨，其他选项均片面或与文意矛盾。

第二节
Dear Chris, I was thrilled to hear that your school is organizing a summer camp in China! Welcome to my homeland! I can’t wait to show you around and share our rich culture with you. Among the three themes, I’d highly recommend the Tang poems camp . Tang poetry is a treasure of Chinese literature, reflecting ancient philosophies, emotions, and history. By learning these poems, you’ll gain deep insights into Chinese values and artistic traditions. Additionally, many activities in this camp, like reciting poems in scenic spots or trying calligraphy, will make your experience immersive and unforgettable. It’s also a fantastic way to improve your Chinese language skills while connecting with local students who share your interests. As for life tips, summer here can be hot and humid, so pack light clothes, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle. Don’t hesitate to try local dishes like dumplings, but inform restaurants about any food allergies in advance. Lastly, carrying a translation app might help ease communication. I’m sure whichever camp you choose will be amazing, but Tang poems will truly let you feel the soul of China. Let me know your decision and I’m already excited for your adventure! Yours, Li Jin
Dear Chris, I’m thrilled to hear that your school is organizing a summer camp in China! Welcome to my homeland and I’m sure you’ll have an unforgettable experience here. After careful consideration, I highly recommend the Paper-Cutting Learning Camp for you. Firstly, paper-cutting is a typical Chinese folk art that dates back over 1,500 years. It’s not just about crafting beautiful patterns but also a window into Chinese cultural symbols, festivals, and traditions. For example, you’ll learn how to create designs symbolizing luck, happiness, or harvest, which are deeply rooted in our history. Unlike Tang poems which focus on literature or table tennis which emphasizes sports, paper-cutting allows hands-on creativity. You can take your finished works home as meaningful souvenirs, sharing Chinese culture with friends in the UK. Additionally, many camps invite master artisans to teach techniques, ensuring an authentic learning experience. It can be hot and humid in summer, so pack lightweight, breathable clothing and sunscreen. Drink enough water in time, especially during outdoor activities. Don’t hesitate to try local delicious snacks like dumplings or mooncakes! If you need help communicating, download a translation application beforehand. I hope this suggestion helps! Feel free to ask me more questions. Looking forward to hosting you soon! Yours, Li Jin
