Xiao Hong, a 32-year-old tech entrepreneur from rural Jiangxi Province, is redefining China’s AI landscape with his startup Monica Tech. His main product, Manus, is an AI tool that helps small businesses and rural communities, making advanced technology accessible to everyone.
Born in Suichuan County, Xiao’s journey began with a secondhand computer gifted by his father. Despite limited resources, he taught himself programming, later graduating from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. In 2018, he co-founded Monica Tech in Wuhan, initially faced with skepticism and mistaken for a pyramid scheme(传销). However, through hard work and innovation, Manus was created, which uses Alibaba’ s Qwen language model to simplify tasks like data analysis and content.
Manus’s success lies in many factors, which focuses on its user-centered design. For instance, a livestream team in Zhejiang used Manus to create real-time sales scripts (台词), achieving a record 330 million in daily revenue. Xiao emphasizes that Manus aims to make AI available to everyone by providing advanced tools that are easy to use.
Despite his success, Xiao has faced challenges. In 2024, ByteDance tried to buy Monica Tech for$30 million, but Xiao turned down the offer to keep his independence. “Giving up our vision for quick profits wasn’t an option,” he explained. His choice paid off: Monica Tech’s value increased, boosted by partnerships with tech giants like Alibaba.
Xiao’s story has inspired his hometown. Residents of Suichuan now celebrate him as a local hero, with schools including his journey in their lessons. “His success shows that talent can come from anywhere,” said Peng Dongjing, Xiao’s high school English teacher.
Xiao plans to expand Manus into environmental conservation, further establishing his role as a link between innovation and social responsibility.
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Manus benefits urban communities.
B. Monica Tech was founded by Alibaba.
C. Monica Tech gained recognition at the very beginning.
D. Manus makes high technology available to each person.
5. What is the key factor behind Manus’s success according to the passage
A. Its focus on user-friendly design. B. Its ability to generate high interests quickly.
C. Its use of advanced AI technology. D. Its partnership with major tech companies.
6. What can be inferred from Peng Dongjing’s words
A. Success depends mainly on advanced education.
B. Background doesn’t determine one’s potential.
C. Rural students should focus on technology careers.
D. Government should increase investment in rural schools.
7. Which of the following best describes Xiao Hong

C
Oasis agriculture is a unique agricultural practice that thrives in the middle of arid and semi-arid regions, where water is a limited resource. These oases, usually forms where underground water reaches the ground, create fertile soil in deserts, allowing crops and plants to grow in such tough conditions. AlUla, an area in northwest Saudi Arabia, is a perfect example of this type of farming, with a history of thousands of years.
The formation of AIUla’s oasis results from a dry riverbed that channels water from distant rain into the valley, enriching the soil with minerals from the neighboring basalt (玄武岩) plains. This natural water source not only helped plants to grow and attracted animals but also became the home of early human societies. Around 5, 000 years ago, people started to grow cereal grains in this area. Scientists have found evidence of ancient farming and diets in old grains, seeds, and wood, showing how important the oasis was for these early communities.
Today, oases like AlUla are not only centers for farming but also places where trade, knowledge, and farming methods have been shared for centuries. However, these oases now face serious threats. For example, climate problems are changing rain patterns and making areas drier. Harmful farming practices and city expansion are using up water supplies, causing water levels to drop and soil to lose quality. Competition for limited resources is making social and economic gaps wider, putting oasis agriculture at risk. Without quick action, its future is uncertain.
To protect oasis agriculture, sustainable management is needed. This includes using water-saving irrigation systems, avoiding water waste, and encouraging natural farming with varied crops. It is also vital to include local communities in protecting oases, as they have valuable knowledge passed down through generations. By doing these, we can ensure oasis agriculture survives and helps protect both Earth’s biodiversity and cultural history.
8. In which regions is oasis agriculture mainly applied
A. Regions with limited water. B. Regions with frequent floods.
C. Extremely cold regions. D. Highly populated regions.
9. What is the primary cause of AlUla’s oasis formation
A. The discovery of ancient farming and diets.
B. Minerals from the nearby plains.
C. A dry riverbed transporting rainwater to the valley.
D. The settlement of ancient people.
10. Why are the examples mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To analyze the limitation of oasis agriculture.
B. To prove the importance of oases.
C. To stress the effects on developing oasis agriculture.
D. To illustrate the specific threats to oases.
11. Which suggestion does the author agree with
A. Growing single crops for higher efficiency. B. Adopting eco-friendly farming policies.
C. Relying only on government-led conservation. D. Banning using all irrigation systems.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
D
Millions of patients worldwide face life-threatening challenges, with 90% failing to receive needed organ transplants and 240 million suffering from untreatable genetic diseases. Additionally, poor diets cause over 10 million early deaths annually. Such suffering seems hopeless. However, a groundbreaking gene-editing technology called CRISPR offers hope to deal with these issues and many more.
CRISPR is like an editor that can rewrite DNA letter by letter or gene by gene, to remove harmful mutations (突变) or add protective ones. This summer will see clinical trials on pig organs edited for transplanting into humans. Last year the first new therapy went on the market. It seemingly cures sickle-cell disease and beta-thalassemia, two blood disorders that bother millions. If ongoing clinical trials succeed, a one-off therapy could provide life-long protection against heart attacks. Farming will benefit, too: CRISPR could raise yields or create climate-resistant crops. Consumers could soon get fibre-rich bread or tastier varieties of healthy but unpopular foods, such as mustard greens.
CRISPR, discovered in 2012, holds great promise but still faces challenges. While it can potentially replace older technologies like expensive gene therapy and controversial GM crops, strict regulations hinder the progress of CRISPR. The rules for rare disease drugs make development costly and slow. Many CRISPR companies find it hard to succeed, even with government support. Although CRISPR’s programmable nature allows one drug to target multiple mutations, strict safety and manufacturing standards limit its use. For patients with urgent needs, loosening some rules might be worth the risk. The Food and Drug Administration has started to ease regulations, but CRISPR still needs real-world successes to prove its potential.
For patients and farmers, CRISPR’s promise is urgent. Balancing innovation with safety, updating regulations, and maintaining public trust will determine its success. With wise decisions, this technology could save millions of lives and reshape humanity’s future.
12. Which of the following is a potential benefit of CRISPR
A. Removing genetic mutations. B. Preventing all blood diseases.
C. Curing heart attacks permanently. D. Protecting crops from climate change.
13. What does the underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Promote. B. Track. C. Block. D. Maintain.
14. What does the last paragraph imply about CRISPR
A. Public trust has little influence on its success.
B. Updating regulations will definitely guarantee its success.
C. Its success will benefit human’s health and development.
D. Its success depends on decisions of patients and farmers.
15. Which is the best title of the passage
A. CRISPR: A Potential Technology Reshaping Our Life
B. CRISPR: A Worldwide Technology Facing Various Challenges
C. CRISPR: A Clinical Treatment Replacing Traditional Therapies
D. CRISPR: A Programmable Design Targeting Organ Transplantation
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A

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。
My family’s daily routine of collecting bottles and cans had always been a hidden part of my life, something I kept secret from my friends and peers. The recycling center in Bushwick was like a second home to me, a place where my mother and I would bring our collected items in a shopping cart, going through the streets with a mixture of pride and embarrassment.
My family collected bottles from sunup to sundown all year long. My mother left at dawn to collect cans, and when she returned 12 hours later, I helped her pull the shopping cart among the six long blocks to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. Although this center had been like my second home for the past years, I had kept it mostly a secret. I couldn’t bear the idea of my friends knowing that my family relied on collecting cans and bottles for survival. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. Even though I had a lot of friends and was a social butterfly, I was not ready to trust someone else.
Then in the summer before my senior year I took a college essay course. We were asked to tell a time when we faced a challenge, setback, or failure and how it affected us, and what we learned from the experience. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood’s gentrification(社区改造) had on me, and how that led me to volunteer with officials in my community who were trying to fight it. At the end of my essay, only the last sentence mentioned can collecting.
One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however it is not about personal growth. How about telling me more about the can collecting ” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him, so I rewrote the essay. This time, I poured my heart into it, detailing the struggles, the pride, and the lessons I had learned from my family’s daily routine.
Two days later, unexpectedly my teacher asked some students including me to share our essays in class.
注意：1.续写词数应该为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The day of sharing our essays in class came.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I finished reading, I looked up to see my classmates’ faces.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The day of sharing our essays in class came. My heart pounded as I stood up, holding my essay tightly. Taking a deep breath, I began to read. I told them about my family’s daily routine of collecting bottles and cans, the early mornings my mother spent searching, and the long walks to the recycling center. I shared my feelings of embarrassment and pride, and how I had grown from this experience. My voice trembled a bit at first, but as I continued, I felt a sense of relief wash over me.
As I finished reading, I looked up to see my classmates’ faces. To my surprise, there were no signs of mockery or disdain. Instead, I saw expressions of admiration and understanding. Some of my classmates even nodded in approval. One of my friends came up to me and said, “I had no idea, but I respect you so much for your family’s hard work and for sharing this with us.” Another classmate added, “Your story is so inspiring.” I felt a warmth spread through my chest. For the first time, I realized that my family’s can collecting was not something to be ashamed of, but a source of strength and pride.黔南州2025届高三年级第三次模拟考试

Xiao Hong, a 32-year-old tech entrepreneur from rural Jiangxi Province, is redefining China’s AI landscape with his startup Monica Tech. His main product, Manus, is an AI tool that helps small businesses and rural communities, making advanced technology accessible to everyone.
Born in Suichuan County, Xiao’s journey began with a secondhand computer gifted by his father. Despite limited resources, he taught himself programming, later graduating from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. In 2018, he co-founded Monica Tech in Wuhan, initially faced with skepticism and mistaken for a pyramid scheme(传销). However, through hard work and innovation, Manus was created, which uses Alibaba’ s Qwen language model to simplify tasks like data analysis and content.
Manus’s success lies in many factors, which focuses on its user-centered design. For instance, a livestream team in Zhejiang used Manus to create real-time sales scripts (台词), achieving a record 330 million in daily revenue. Xiao emphasizes that Manus aims to make AI available to everyone by providing advanced tools that are easy to use.
Despite his success, Xiao has faced challenges. In 2024, ByteDance tried to buy Monica Tech for$30 million, but Xiao turned down the offer to keep his independence. “Giving up our vision for quick profits wasn’t an option,” he explained. His choice paid off: Monica Tech’s value increased, boosted by partnerships with tech giants like Alibaba.
Xiao’s story has inspired his hometown. Residents of Suichuan now celebrate him as a local hero, with schools including his journey in their lessons. “His success shows that talent can come from anywhere,” said Peng Dongjing, Xiao’s high school English teacher.
Xiao plans to expand Manus into environmental conservation, further establishing his role as a link between innovation and social responsibility.

Oasis agriculture is a unique agricultural practice that thrives in the middle of arid and semi-arid regions, where water is a limited resource. These oases, usually forms where underground water reaches the ground, create fertile soil in deserts, allowing crops and plants to grow in such tough conditions. AlUla, an area in northwest Saudi Arabia, is a perfect example of this type of farming, with a history of thousands of years.
The formation of AIUla’s oasis results from a dry riverbed that channels water from distant rain into the valley, enriching the soil with minerals from the neighboring basalt (玄武岩) plains. This natural water source not only helped plants to grow and attracted animals but also became the home of early human societies. Around 5, 000 years ago, people started to grow cereal grains in this area. Scientists have found evidence of ancient farming and diets in old grains, seeds, and wood, showing how important the oasis was for these early communities.
Today, oases like AlUla are not only centers for farming but also places where trade, knowledge, and farming methods have been shared for centuries. However, these oases now face serious threats. For example, climate problems are changing rain patterns and making areas drier. Harmful farming practices and city expansion are using up water supplies, causing water levels to drop and soil to lose quality. Competition for limited resources is making social and economic gaps wider, putting oasis agriculture at risk. Without quick action, its future is uncertain.
To protect oasis agriculture, sustainable management is needed. This includes using water-saving irrigation systems, avoiding water waste, and encouraging natural farming with varied crops. It is also vital to include local communities in protecting oases, as they have valuable knowledge passed down through generations. By doing these, we can ensure oasis agriculture survives and helps protect both Earth’s biodiversity and cultural history.
8. In which regions is oasis agriculture mainly applied
A. Regions with limited water. B. Regions with frequent floods.
C. Extremely cold regions. D. Highly populated regions.
9. What is the primary cause of AlUla’s oasis formation
A. The discovery of ancient farming and diets.
B. Minerals from the nearby plains.
C. A dry riverbed transporting rainwater to the valley.
D. The settlement of ancient people.
10. Why are the examples mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To analyze the limitation of oasis agriculture.
B. To prove the importance of oases.
C. To stress the effects on developing oasis agriculture.
D. To illustrate the specific threats to oases.
11. Which suggestion does the author agree with
A. Growing single crops for higher efficiency. B. Adopting eco-friendly farming policies.
C. Relying only on government-led conservation. D. Banning using all irrigation systems.
D
Millions of patients worldwide face life-threatening challenges, with 90% failing to receive needed organ transplants and 240 million suffering from untreatable genetic diseases. Additionally, poor diets cause over 10 million early deaths annually. Such suffering seems hopeless. However, a groundbreaking gene-editing technology called CRISPR offers hope to deal with these issues and many more.
CRISPR is like an editor that can rewrite DNA letter by letter or gene by gene, to remove harmful mutations (突变) or add protective ones. This summer will see clinical trials on pig organs edited for transplanting into humans. Last year the first new therapy went on the market. It seemingly cures sickle-cell disease and beta-thalassemia, two blood disorders that bother millions. If ongoing clinical trials succeed, a one-off therapy could provide life-long protection against heart attacks. Farming will benefit, too: CRISPR could raise yields or create climate-resistant crops. Consumers could soon get fibre-rich bread or tastier varieties of healthy but unpopular foods, such as mustard greens.
CRISPR, discovered in 2012, holds great promise but still faces challenges. While it can potentially replace older technologies like expensive gene therapy and controversial GM crops, strict regulations hinder the progress of CRISPR. The rules for rare disease drugs make development costly and slow. Many CRISPR companies find it hard to succeed, even with government support. Although CRISPR’s programmable nature allows one drug to target multiple mutations, strict safety and manufacturing standards limit its use. For patients with urgent needs, loosening some rules might be worth the risk. The Food and Drug Administration has started to ease regulations, but CRISPR still needs real-world successes to prove its potential.
For patients and farmers, CRISPR’s promise is urgent. Balancing innovation with safety, updating regulations, and maintaining public trust will determine its success. With wise decisions, this technology could save millions of lives and reshape humanity’s future.
12. Which of the following is a potential benefit of CRISPR
A. Removing genetic mutations. B. Preventing all blood diseases.
C. Curing heart attacks permanently. D. Protecting crops from climate change.
13. What does the underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Promote. B. Track. C. Block. D. Maintain.
14. What does the last paragraph imply about CRISPR
A. Public trust has little influence on its success.
B. Updating regulations will definitely guarantee its success.
C. Its success will benefit human’s health and development.
D. Its success depends on decisions of patients and farmers.
15. Which is the best title of the passage
A. CRISPR: A Potential Technology Reshaping Our Life
B. CRISPR: A Worldwide Technology Facing Various Challenges
C. CRISPR: A Clinical Treatment Replacing Traditional Therapies
D. CRISPR: A Programmable Design Targeting Organ Transplantation

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。
My family’s daily routine of collecting bottles and cans had always been a hidden part of my life, something I kept secret from my friends and peers. The recycling center in Bushwick was like a second home to me, a place where my mother and I would bring our collected items in a shopping cart, going through the streets with a mixture of pride and embarrassment.
My family collected bottles from sunup to sundown all year long. My mother left at dawn to collect cans, and when she returned 12 hours later, I helped her pull the shopping cart among the six long blocks to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. Although this center had been like my second home for the past years, I had kept it mostly a secret. I couldn’t bear the idea of my friends knowing that my family relied on collecting cans and bottles for survival. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. Even though I had a lot of friends and was a social butterfly, I was not ready to trust someone else.
Then in the summer before my senior year I took a college essay course. We were asked to tell a time when we faced a challenge, setback, or failure and how it affected us, and what we learned from the experience. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood’s gentrification(社区改造) had on me, and how that led me to volunteer with officials in my community who were trying to fight it. At the end of my essay, only the last sentence mentioned can collecting.
One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however it is not about personal growth. How about telling me more about the can collecting ” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him, so I rewrote the essay. This time, I poured my heart into it, detailing the struggles, the pride, and the lessons I had learned from my family’s daily routine.
Two days later, unexpectedly my teacher asked some students including me to share our essays in class.
注意：1.续写词数应该为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The day of sharing our essays in class came.
