Ernest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the opportunity to appear in the audience of a BBC show, and ask Thatcher how she felt about being called the Iron Lady. This encounter re-emerged in a BBC’s programme recently.
At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.
Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling.
Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”
Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think it’s rather a praise, don’t you ” she said, “Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.”
After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added, “It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you wouldn’t otherwise have done.”
4．What do we know about Owusu when he was 13
A．He met with Thatcher twice.
B．He joined a famous golf club.
C．He hosted a BBC’s programme.
D．He lived at the bottom of society.
5．What do the underlined words “sliding-door moment” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Turning point. B．Important decision.
C．Social status. D．Remarkable achievement.
6．Based on the text, what made a big difference to Owusu
A．Others’ treating him equally at work.
B．Others’ voting him a hero in Brixton.
C．Thatcher’s efforts to preserve his dignity.
D．Thatcher’s faith in the necessity of toughness.
7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．The Art of Dialogue B．The Power of Confidence
C．A Life-changing Meeting D．A Status-improving Tale
“Yi, er, san…” A Chinese language student counts each stroke while writing the Chinese character for “big”. This seems like a simple process, but new evidence suggests that studying Chinese and learning to write Chinese characters may train a whole array of cognitive (认知的) abilities not used in the study of other languages and writing systems.
Studying Chinese stimulates different parts of the brain because Chinese is very different than English in sound, tone, and script. A study conducted by researchers from the Wellcome Trust in the UK found that people who speak Chinese use both temporal lobes of their brain to understand the language. This is very different from English-language speakers who use only the left temporal lobe. The difference is obvious because speakers of Chinese use intonation (语调) to recognize differences between completely different meanings of particular words.
In addition to the unique tonal distinctions of Chinese, the practice of handwriting, especially of Chinese characters, aids the development of motor skills, learning shapes and letters, the visual identification of graphics, and keeps the mind sharp. Research from Indiana University confirmed the importance of handwriting to cognitive development. Through the use of MRI, researchers found that neural (神经的) activity in children who practiced printing by hand was more enhanced and “adult-like” than those who just looked at pared with English which is mostly linear and written from left to right, Chinese characters are more complex in structure and writing involves strokes in all four directions: up, down left, and right. The sequential movement of the fingers and hand to form a character activates neural activity in the working, thinking and spatial memory of the brain of the learners.
While the research on the relationship between the learning of Chinese and cognition is not yet conclusive or comprehensive, there is good evidence to suggest that learning Chinese tones and characters give an added dimension to language learning. Though admittedly time-consuming, the investment in learning how to read and write Chinese characters can clearly bring advantages.
8．What did researchers from the Wellcome Trust find
A．English has simpler rules for writing.
B．Intonation shows meaning in English.
C．Speaking Chinese takes more brain power.
D．Chinese has the most complex writing system.
9．What can we know from paragraph 3
A．English is much easier to write than Chinese.
B．Writing by hand greatly promotes the ability of learning.
C．Handwriting matters in early childhood education.
D．Writing Chinese characters trains the brain.
10．What does the author think of learning Chinese according to the last paragraph
A．It requires some strategies. B．It is a worthwhile pursuit.
C．It has become a new trend. D．It is easier than people think.
11．What’s the best title for the text
A．Learning Chinese Can Make You Cleverer
B．Chinese Is Hard for Foreign People to Learn
C．Tips on Learning to Write Chinese Characters
D．Major Differences Between Chinese and English
A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for developing high-output corn in the U.S., appear to have lost part of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change increasing droughts, the findings hold potential for developing more drought-resistant varieties of corn.
The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. In particular, the researchers discovered that ethylene, a plant hormone (激素) known to help bananas ripen, also influences how roots grow to seek water.
For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots. They found corn varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapted to moderate regions of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil.
“Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,” said lead author Johannes Scharwies. “One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.”
Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery. In experiments with thale cress — a model plant often used in research — the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air.
Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said.
12．What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study
A．Drought-resistant corn varieties.
B．Ethylene’s effect on fruit ripening.
C．Genetic regulation of root branching.
D．Impact of climate change on plant roots.
13．What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies’ remarks
A．Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth.
B．Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems.
C．Root branching conserves energy for higher production.
D．Stronger hydropatterning was linked to greater root depth.
14．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A．Model plants in research.
B．Hormones’ role in root growth.
C．Genetic analysis methods.
D．Findings of previous research.
15．What does the last paragraph suggest future research do
A．Prioritize development of new corn varieties.
B．Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions.
C．Concentrate merely on localized root responses.
D．Expand practical applications of hydropatterning.
Ever found yourself reaching for your favorite old movie or TV show despite knowing every line and unexpected plot changes You’re not alone. 16
We rewatch shows for emotion, not plot. Rewatching is an intentional choice based on our prior knowledge. Knowing what’s coming allows us to take charge of our feelings. Rewatching and repetition lower our loads of mental understanding too. 17 We can freely make ourselves complethy involved in the experience, enjoy details we might have missed the first time, and deepen our connection to the characters and storylines.
18 Returning to something known when life feels chaotic can ground us. Familiar content removes the tension of uncertainty. We can fully focus on the positive moods.
Rewatching isn’t just about the past; it’s also about the present and the future. Anticipating a favorite scene plays a significant role. It’s reported that the production of dopamine (多巴胺) will be activated by the mental “wanting” of the visualized rewards. 19 We get a feel-good boost during the show as we review favorite moments.
Our media choices reflect our psychological needs. 20 So, the next time you queue up old favourites, remember that you’re doing more than indulging (沉溺) in nostalgia (怀旧) — you’re actively supporting your mental health.
A．The familiarity also provides a sense of safety.
B．Our brains don’t need to work hard to process the information.
C．That’s why we simply cannot deal with anything else at the moment.
D．This mental anticipation motivates behaviors that will deliver the experience.
E．They can be a response to our desire to recreate meaningful emotional experiences.
F．Rewatching old favorites is a popular activity for many, especially during the holidays.
G．A new movie may seem more appealing if we are familiar with the actors, the director or the theme.

五、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a small and peaceful town, there lived a boy named Joey, who was different from the other kids.
At school, when the teacher asked simple maths questions, Joey would often stare blankly at the blackboard, his brows knitted in confusion as he tried to make sense of the numbers. His answers, more often than not, were incorrect, and it didn’t take long for a few classmates to start laughing at him. During art class, while other kids were creating vivid masterpieces with ease, Joey’s drawings looked more like scribbles (涂鸦). The moment he showed his work, whispers spread across the room: “Look at what Joey drew! It’s so childish!”
Yes, Joey had some intellectual disabilities, which made it hard for him to learn and communicate like his peers. Because of this, Joey suffered some prejudice, but he never minded that and always wore a smile on his face.
One day in the PE class, when the teacher grouped the students, Tom, who was assigned to Joey’s group, argued that Joey always misjudged the ball and would cause the team to lose possession. “Why is Joey even on our team He’s so useless!” Tom added. With a calm yet firm voice, the teacher said, “Tom, we’re all here to learn and improve. Joey might struggle a bit more than the rest of you, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve a chance to play.” Although the PE teacher forced them into the same group, Joey was still not well treated.
After school, as fate would have it, dark clouds gathered overhead, and within minutes, a downpour began. The streets of the small town were quickly slick(滑的)with rainwater, and people ran hurriedly, seeking shelter. Joey was making his way home when suddenly he heard a loud noise.

On the street, an old woman fell down, groceries scattering (散落) all around her. She was struggling to get up and her cries for help were drowned by the sound of the pouring rain. Without hesitation, Joey rushed over. Kneeling beside her, he gently asked, “Ma’am, are you okay Let me help you.” Joey carefully lifted the woman up and then gathered her scattered groceries, making sure nothing was left behind. The woman thanked Joey, her voice shaky but filled with gratitude, “You’ve saved me from a lot of trouble on this terrible day.” Joey beamed at her, his smile brightening up the gloomy afternoon.
The next day at school, word of Joey’s heroic act spread like wildfire. The classmates who had once excluded Joey were now looking at him with newfound respect.

Ernest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the opportunity to appear in the audience of a BBC show, and ask Thatcher how she felt about being called the Iron Lady. This encounter re-emerged in a BBC’s programme recently.
At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.
Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling.
Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”
Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think it’s rather a praise, don’t you ” she said, “Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.”
After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added, “It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you wouldn’t otherwise have done.”
4．What do we know about Owusu when he was 13
A．He met with Thatcher twice.
B．He joined a famous golf club.
C．He hosted a BBC’s programme.
D．He lived at the bottom of society.
5．What do the underlined words “sliding-door moment” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Turning point. B．Important decision.
C．Social status. D．Remarkable achievement.
6．Based on the text, what made a big difference to Owusu
A．Others’ treating him equally at work.
B．Others’ voting him a hero in Brixton.
C．Thatcher’s efforts to preserve his dignity.
D．Thatcher’s faith in the necessity of toughness.
7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．The Art of Dialogue B．The Power of Confidence
C．A Life-changing Meeting D．A Status-improving Tale
“Yi, er, san…” A Chinese language student counts each stroke while writing the Chinese character for “big”. This seems like a simple process, but new evidence suggests that studying Chinese and learning to write Chinese characters may train a whole array of cognitive (认知的) abilities not used in the study of other languages and writing systems.
Studying Chinese stimulates different parts of the brain because Chinese is very different than English in sound, tone, and script. A study conducted by researchers from the Wellcome Trust in the UK found that people who speak Chinese use both temporal lobes of their brain to understand the language. This is very different from English-language speakers who use only the left temporal lobe. The difference is obvious because speakers of Chinese use intonation (语调) to recognize differences between completely different meanings of particular words.
In addition to the unique tonal distinctions of Chinese, the practice of handwriting, especially of Chinese characters, aids the development of motor skills, learning shapes and letters, the visual identification of graphics, and keeps the mind sharp. Research from Indiana University confirmed the importance of handwriting to cognitive development. Through the use of MRI, researchers found that neural (神经的) activity in children who practiced printing by hand was more enhanced and “adult-like” than those who just looked at pared with English which is mostly linear and written from left to right, Chinese characters are more complex in structure and writing involves strokes in all four directions: up, down left, and right. The sequential movement of the fingers and hand to form a character activates neural activity in the working, thinking and spatial memory of the brain of the learners.
While the research on the relationship between the learning of Chinese and cognition is not yet conclusive or comprehensive, there is good evidence to suggest that learning Chinese tones and characters give an added dimension to language learning. Though admittedly time-consuming, the investment in learning how to read and write Chinese characters can clearly bring advantages.
8．What did researchers from the Wellcome Trust find
A．English has simpler rules for writing.
B．Intonation shows meaning in English.
C．Speaking Chinese takes more brain power.
D．Chinese has the most complex writing system.
9．What can we know from paragraph 3
A．English is much easier to write than Chinese.
B．Writing by hand greatly promotes the ability of learning.
C．Handwriting matters in early childhood education.
D．Writing Chinese characters trains the brain.
10．What does the author think of learning Chinese according to the last paragraph
A．It requires some strategies. B．It is a worthwhile pursuit.
C．It has become a new trend. D．It is easier than people think.
11．What’s the best title for the text
A．Learning Chinese Can Make You Cleverer
B．Chinese Is Hard for Foreign People to Learn
C．Tips on Learning to Write Chinese Characters
D．Major Differences Between Chinese and English
A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for developing high-output corn in the U.S., appear to have lost part of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change increasing droughts, the findings hold potential for developing more drought-resistant varieties of corn.
The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. In particular, the researchers discovered that ethylene, a plant hormone (激素) known to help bananas ripen, also influences how roots grow to seek water.
For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots. They found corn varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapted to moderate regions of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil.
“Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,” said lead author Johannes Scharwies. “One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.”
Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery. In experiments with thale cress — a model plant often used in research — the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air.
Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said.
12．What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study
A．Drought-resistant corn varieties.
B．Ethylene’s effect on fruit ripening.
C．Genetic regulation of root branching.
D．Impact of climate change on plant roots.
13．What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies’ remarks
A．Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth.
B．Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems.
C．Root branching conserves energy for higher production.
D．Stronger hydropatterning was linked to greater root depth.
14．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A．Model plants in research.
B．Hormones’ role in root growth.
C．Genetic analysis methods.
D．Findings of previous research.
15．What does the last paragraph suggest future research do
A．Prioritize development of new corn varieties.
B．Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions.
C．Concentrate merely on localized root responses.
D．Expand practical applications of hydropatterning.
Ever found yourself reaching for your favorite old movie or TV show despite knowing every line and unexpected plot changes You’re not alone. 16
We rewatch shows for emotion, not plot. Rewatching is an intentional choice based on our prior knowledge. Knowing what’s coming allows us to take charge of our feelings. Rewatching and repetition lower our loads of mental understanding too. 17 We can freely make ourselves complethy involved in the experience, enjoy details we might have missed the first time, and deepen our connection to the characters and storylines.
18 Returning to something known when life feels chaotic can ground us. Familiar content removes the tension of uncertainty. We can fully focus on the positive moods.
Rewatching isn’t just about the past; it’s also about the present and the future. Anticipating a favorite scene plays a significant role. It’s reported that the production of dopamine (多巴胺) will be activated by the mental “wanting” of the visualized rewards. 19 We get a feel-good boost during the show as we review favorite moments.
Our media choices reflect our psychological needs. 20 So, the next time you queue up old favourites, remember that you’re doing more than indulging (沉溺) in nostalgia (怀旧) — you’re actively supporting your mental health.
A．The familiarity also provides a sense of safety.
B．Our brains don’t need to work hard to process the information.
C．That’s why we simply cannot deal with anything else at the moment.
D．This mental anticipation motivates behaviors that will deliver the experience.
E．They can be a response to our desire to recreate meaningful emotional experiences.
F．Rewatching old favorites is a popular activity for many, especially during the holidays.
G．A new movie may seem more appealing if we are familiar with the actors, the director or the theme.

In a small and peaceful town, there lived a boy named Joey, who was different from the other kids.
At school, when the teacher asked simple maths questions, Joey would often stare blankly at the blackboard, his brows knitted in confusion as he tried to make sense of the numbers. His answers, more often than not, were incorrect, and it didn’t take long for a few classmates to start laughing at him. During art class, while other kids were creating vivid masterpieces with ease, Joey’s drawings looked more like scribbles (涂鸦). The moment he showed his work, whispers spread across the room: “Look at what Joey drew! It’s so childish!”
Yes, Joey had some intellectual disabilities, which made it hard for him to learn and communicate like his peers. Because of this, Joey suffered some prejudice, but he never minded that and always wore a smile on his face.
One day in the PE class, when the teacher grouped the students, Tom, who was assigned to Joey’s group, argued that Joey always misjudged the ball and would cause the team to lose possession. “Why is Joey even on our team He’s so useless!” Tom added. With a calm yet firm voice, the teacher said, “Tom, we’re all here to learn and improve. Joey might struggle a bit more than the rest of you, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve a chance to play.” Although the PE teacher forced them into the same group, Joey was still not well treated.
After school, as fate would have it, dark clouds gathered overhead, and within minutes, a downpour began. The streets of the small town were quickly slick(滑的)with rainwater, and people ran hurriedly, seeking shelter. Joey was making his way home when suddenly he heard a loud noise.

【解析】1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Guided tours offer an engaging way to explore the United Nations Headquarters. Visit the Security Council Chamber (会议厅), the Trusteeship Council Chamber, and the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Chamber. Learn about how the United Nations addresses issues such as climate change, peace and security, human rights, and how you can support the Sustainable Development Goals.(有导游带领的参观活动提供了一种引人入胜的方式来探索联合国总部。参观安全理事会会议厅、托管理事会会议厅和经济及社会理事会会议厅。了解联合国如何处理气候变化、和平与安全、人权等问题，以及你如何支持可持续发展目标。)”可知，游客在参观期间可以探索联合国的工作日常，了解其处理各种问题的方式等。故选A项。

5．词句猜测题。根据第三段“To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed(直到今天，它仍然有影响。我的信心改变了)”可知，从那一刻Owusu的信心改变了，说明那是一个转折点，sliding-door moment的意思是“转折点”，和Turning point意思相近，故选A。
6．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.(因为人们经常对我说，如果你在工作中，你必须温柔、温暖、人性化，但你也必须有一点钢铁的感觉)”和“She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.(她对这个问题表示欢迎，说在这个世界上你必须要坚定。这让我印象深刻)”可知，Thatcher坚信强硬的必要性使Owusu发生了巨大的变化。故选D。
7．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”(在俱乐部里，Owusu将自己社会地位的提升描述为“撒切尔之旅”。他说，首先要问这位女士本人。“直到今天，它仍然有影响，我的信心从那一刻起就改变了。她身上的某种东西与我联系在一起。”)”可知，本文主要讲的是Ernest Owusu受到Thatcher夫人的影响，从而改变了自己的人生，因此最恰当的标题是C选项“A Life-changing Meeting(改变人生的会面)”。故选C。

9．细节理解题。根据第三段“In addition to the unique tonal distinctions of Chinese, the practice of handwriting, especially of Chinese characters, aids the development of motor skills, learning shapes and letters, the visual identification of graphics, and keeps the mind sharp.(除了中文独特的语调区别外，手写练习，尤其是中文字符的书写，有助于运动技能的发展、形状和字母的学习、图形的视觉识别，以及保持思维敏捷)”以及“Compared with English which is mostly linear and written from left to right, Chinese characters are more complex in structure and writing involves strokes in all four directions: up, down left, and right. The sequential movement of the fingers and hand to form a character activates neural activity in the working, thinking and spatial memory of the brain of the learners.(与从左到右书写的线性英语相比，汉字的结构更复杂，书写包括四个方向的笔画：上、下、左、右。手指和手的连续运动形成一个字符，激活了学习者大脑中工作、思维和空间记忆的神经活动)”可知，从第三段我们可以知道写汉字训练大脑。故选D。
10．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though admittedly time-consuming, the investment in learning how to read and write Chinese characters can clearly bring advantages.(虽然不可否认花费时间，但学习如何阅读和书写汉字的投资显然会带来好处)”可知，学习汉语是一项值得追求的事情，故选B。
11．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“This seems like a simple process, but new evidence suggests that studying Chinese and learning to write Chinese characters may train a whole array of cognitive (认知的) abilities not used in the study of other languages and writing systems.(这似乎是一个简单的过程，但新的证据表明，学习中文和学习汉字可能会训练一系列认知能力，而这些能力是学习其他语言和书写系统所没有的。)”和第三段“Compared with English which is mostly linear and written from left to right, Chinese characters are more complex in structure and writing involves strokes in all four directions: up, down left, and right. The sequential movement of the fingers and hand to form a character activates neural activity in the working, thinking and spatial memory of the brain of the learners.(与从左到右书写的线性英语相比，汉字的结构更复杂，书写包括四个方向的笔画：上、下、左、右。手指和手的连续运动形成一个字符，激活了学习者大脑中工作、思维和空间记忆的神经活动。)”可知，本文主要讲的是学习中文和书写汉字可能培养一系列在其他语言和书写系统中未使用的认知能力，因此最好的题目是A选项“Learning Chinese Can Make You Cleverer(学习汉语能让你更聪明)”。故选A。

14．主旨大意题。根据第五段“Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery.(遗传分析揭示了两种植物激素，生长素和乙烯，在玉米根系对水的反应中起作用。虽然已知生长素有助于控制这一过程，但乙烯的参与是一个新发现。)”可知，第五段主要讲的是激素在根生长中的作用。故选B。
15．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said.(研究人员说，在培育出具有更抗旱根系的玉米品种之前，需要进一步的研究来更好地了解这些遗传途径的相互作用，但是这些发现强调了研究根尖上这些局部反应的重要性。)”可知，最后一段建议未来的研究找出基因相互作用的机制。故选B。

19．根据上文“Rewatching isn’t just about the past; it’s also about the present and the future. Anticipating a favorite scene plays a significant role.

47．【答案】
On the street, an old woman fell down, groceries scattering (散落) all around her. She was struggling to get up and her cries for help were drowned by the sound of the pouring rain. Without hesitation, Joey rushed over. Kneeling beside her, he gently asked, “Ma’am, are you okay Let me help you.” Joey carefully lifted the woman up and then gathered her scattered groceries, making sure nothing was left behind. The woman thanked Joey, her voice shaky but filled with gratitude, “You’ve saved me from a lot of trouble on this terrible day.” Joey beamed at her, his smile brightening up the gloomy afternoon.
The next day at school, word of Joey’s heroic act spread like wildfire. The classmates who had once excluded Joey were now looking at him with newfound respect. Tom, who treated Joey rudely in the PE class, apologized to Joey for what he said. From that day on, the atmosphere in the classroom transformed completely. Joey was no longer the outsider; instead, he was welcomed into every game and every conversation. His kindness had not only won over his peers but had also taught them a valuable lesson about acceptance and the true measure of a person— that it lies not in academic prowess or athletic skills but in the goodness of one’s heart.
