I had worried myself sick over Simon’s mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students’ work. In Simon’s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn’t read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult understanding. His work in no way reflected his abilities.
So when Simon’s mother entered the room, I was a little nervous. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend’s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, surprised, for about half an hour, wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life changing difference to that boy without even knowing it What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before, when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly, and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon’s the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince (使信服), and he can’t hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more, and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I’m thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
24．How did the writer feel when Simon’s mother entered the room
A．Satisfied. B．Nervous. C．Happy. D．Surprised.
25．What was Simon like before the teacher said that he was an expert
A．Outgoing and talkative. B．Happy and active.
C．Unconfident and lonely. D．Clever and easygoing.
26．Why did the teacher said those words in paragraph 3
A．To ask Jeanne to convince Simon.
B．To encourage Simon to work hard.
C．To encourage Jeanne to speak louder.
D．To tell the students that Simon was expert on that.
27．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To tell the story of Simon.
B．To share a valuable lesson with readers.
C．To advise the readers to be kind to others.
D．To tell teachers how to be kind to students.

As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. “We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” remarked Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, a BBC documentary that aired on April 7.
Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited the famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.
The one-hour film traces the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived in the reign of the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (712—756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity, inclusiveness and glorious cultural accomplishments.
However, as An Lushan’s rebel army floored the empire, the 43-year-old Du, the former civil servant at the Tang court, had to take his family out of his hometown, and faced starvation and sufferings. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1, 500 poems have been kept over the ages.
Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales, he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all poor scholars and make them beam with pleasure”.
“That is why he is honored as the Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times.
28．What can we know about the BBC documentary
A．It introduces Shakespeare. B．Du Fu is acted by Ian McKellen in it.
C．Its target audience is Chinese. D．It shows 15 of Du Fu’s poems to the audience.
29．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature marking Du Fu’s time
A．Extraordinary prosperity B．Social stability
C．Social inclusiveness D．Cultural accomplishments
30．What does the underlined word “That” in the last paragraph refer to
A．Du’s concern about common people. B．My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales.
C．Du’s high position in the government. D．Du’s low position in the government.
31．In which section of a website may this text appear
A．Entertainment. B．Health. C．Literature. D．Science.
D
A major scientific achievement has been recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology: predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins. Most of this work was done at a tech company, marking a notable shift that high-level scientific research can also originate outside traditional academic settings.
Proteins are crucial for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process. The shape of a protein determines its function. If a protein is shaped incorrectly, it can cause serious diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Historically, predicting a protein’s shape from its amino acid sequence (序列) was very difficult and puzzled scientists for decades.
The breakthrough happened with A-Fold, a machine learning program that can accurately predict protein structures from their amino acid sequences. This tool has changed the field, providing insights into the structure of over 200 million proteins so far. This data is expected to speed up progress in medicine and drug development, opening new ways to treat diseases.
The tech company’s success with A-Fold also stresses the growing impact of artificial intelligence in various scientific field, showing that AI can tackle complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine.
The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results. This achievement not only shows what AI can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems.
32．Why was the team awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
A．They discovered a cure for Alzheimer’s and diabetes.
B．They analyzed the functions of essential body elements.
C．They worked out protein structures with a machine learning program.
D．They created a new way to treat diseases through traditional research.
33．Why is the shape of a protein critical to its function
A．It leads to the development of the diseases.
B．It offers insights into the structure of protein.
C．It speeds up the progress of medicine and drug.
D．It affects the protein’s role in biological processes.
34．What might be the writer’s attitude towards the tech company’s success with A-Fold
A．Skeptical. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Concerned.
35．What possibility does the author imply about the future of scientific research
A．A new focus on solving biological problems.
B．An amazing change in academic research settings.
C．An increase in joint efforts between different fields.
D．A lessened dependence on machine learning techniques.

From new semi-private pet airplanes to road trips, this is everything pet parents should consider before hitting the road.
Cats and dogs are not just pets. 36 So, not surprisingly, more pet parents want to bring their furry friends along when they travel. If you’re not sure whether to bring your pet along while traveling, these animal and travel experts offer some helpful guidance.
Put your pet’s well-being first.
Though you may be excited at the scene of bringing your doggy or kitty along for the journey, your pet may not feel the same way. 37 This is especially true for senior pets or those with existing medical issues. You know your pet best, but it’s always a good idea to get in touch with your vet, says Lilian Wong, a veterinarian and clinical skills instructor at Oregon State University’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine.
38
If you’ve decided to bring your pet along, the next decision is how to reach your desired destination. If possible, Wong recommends road-tripping. “You can take as many breaks as you and your pet need,” she says. “You can drive to a nearby vet hospital if there is a medical emergency. When you are traveling on a plane, you don’t have that flexibility.” Driving isn’t always possible or practical, so you might look into flying. In addition, most airlines can only accommodate a handful of pets per flight. 39
Prepare Mentally.
A common phrase that travel professionals often say is “ 40 " This saying is especially true when traveling with pets, which are living, breathing and naughty creatures with minds of their own. Go into the trip with a mindset that at least one thing will go wrong, always take it easy and stay calm. What is necessary is to have a backup plan. Set your expectations appropriately so you don’t become frustrated or disappointed and do more research than you think is necessary.
A．Pack your patience.
B．Plan a pet-friendly journey.
C．Consider the mode of travel.
D．Travel could be harmful to their health.
E．So book early and call to ensure there’s a spot for your pet.
F．These lovable, four-legged creatures have become our closest companions.
G．Some animals have an adventurous spirit and love to travel while others don’t.

A New Beginning
Ava had always been a shy girl, preferring to spend time with books rather than people.She loved spending her afternoons in the school library, where she could escape into different worlds through the pages of her favorite novels. At school, she rarely spoke to her classmates or teachers. She would sit at the back of the classroom, her head down, avoiding eye contact. Her teachers often called on her, but she would only give short, quiet answers before closing herself off again.
One day, her English teacher, Mrs. James, noticed Ava’s love for stories during a creative writing task. “Ava,” Mrs. James said after class, “I think you have a wonderful imagination.Have you ever thought about joining the drama club We’re putting on a play next month, and I believe you’d be perfect for the lead role.”
Ava’s face turned red, and she shook her head quickly. “No, I can’t. I’m not good at speaking in front of people. I’d just embarrass myself. I’m afraid to fail.”
Mrs. James smiled gently. “I understand how you feel, but sometimes, we need to step out of our comfort zones and try new things to see how much we can grow. Just give it a try. You might surprise yourself.”
Ava hesitated but finally agreed to try out for the role. To her shock, she was chosen for the lead role. The weeks leading up to the play were filled with practice sessions. At first, Ava struggled to speak loudly enough for others to hear. Her fellow actors, however, were supportive. “You’ve got this, Ava!” one of them said during a practice. “Just imagine you’re telling a story to your friends.”
Slowly, Ava began to open up. She practiced her lines every night, and her confidence grew. On the night of the performance, she stood backstage, her hands trembling. She took a deep breath and reminded herself of Mrs. James’s words.
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。
As the curtains opened, Ava stepped onto the stage.

Backstage, Ava couldn’t stop smiling as she saw Mrs. James approaching her.

1. Good morning, my name is Li Hua. It’s a great honor to be here and to share with you the story of how music has had an impact on my life.
There was a time when I felt greatly depressed because I moved and was thrown into a totally different world. So lonely was I that I drowned myself to music. Gradually I got familiar with different musicians and their works. Then one day our teacher asked us to discuss music in class. For the first time I raised my hand. Miraculously, many boys and girls came to me praising my knowledge of music after that class. Thus, not only did music help me cope with loneliness then but also brought me opportunities to open the gate of a new life. I hope that you can obtain the power that music offers.
That’s all. Thank you.
2.As the curtains opened, Ava stepped onto the stage. When Ava began her first lines, her voice was soft but clear. As the play went on, she became less nervous. She moved across the stage with ease, her voice growing stronger and filled with emotion. When the play ended, there was a moment of quietness before the audience burst into loud clapping. Ava had done it — she had faced her fear and succeeded! At the moment, the first thing that came to her mind was to thank Mrs. James.
Backstage, Ava couldn’t stop smiling as she saw Mrs.James approaching her. She thanked Mrs. James. “You believed in me when I was unsure of myself,” Ava said.Mrs. James smiled and replied, “You did this all on your own. I just gave you a little push.” For the first time, Ava felt proud of herself. She realized that trying something new had allowed her to discover a part of herself she never knew existed. The fear of failure no longer held her back, and she knew this was just the beginning of many more opportunities to come.
