Oliver James, 35, grew up in a low-income neighborhood in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.“No one ever told me there was a reason to take school seriously,” he said. Until recently, he was functionally illiterate, able to read only a few simple words. James worked odd jobs, like busing tables and bartending, but his inability to read held him back. He relied on voice dictation tools and felt ashamed, often lying about his literacy. In 2020, he decided to change his life. He wanted to feel more fulfilled and hoped to become a father one day. “I can't have a kid until I read,” he told himself.
With the help of his partner, Anne Halkias, James began to teach himself to read. They read together every evening, starting with simple quotes and gradually moving to full sentences and chapters. “It was really hard,” he said. But he persisted, and after a few months, he was reading entire books.
As he began sharing his progress with people online—— James finally started to take pride in his accomplishment. He routinely reads books live on TikTok and documents his progress,including the challenges. “It feels like I found my purpose,” he said. “I'm finally contributing to the world.” James is now a leading voice on“BookTok” and has amassed (积累) nearly300,000 followers on the platform. People frequently reach out to tell him that his videos have encouraged them to learn how to read, too.
Living in Orange County, California, with his partner and their two sons, James hopes to continue his inspiring speaking career and perhaps write a book one day. “These are things that I never thought I could do,” he said. He especially enjoys reading bedtime stories to his sons. “The world is totally different now,” James said. “It's everything I ever wanted.”
24. What do we know about Oliver James according to Paragraph 1
A. He dropped out of school. B. He could barely read.
C. He worked as a chef. D. He admired his father.
25. How did James start improving his reading skills
A. By using voice dictation tools. B. By taking an online course.
C. By practising step by step. D. By teaching others to read.
26. Which of the following best describes James's impact
A. Damaging. B. Motivating. C. Lasting. D. Overwhelming.
27. Which proverb reflects James’ experience
A. Better late than never. B. The end justifies the means.
C. Every coin has two sides. D. Actions speak louder than words.
C
Can elephants get cancer Yes, they can. Surprisingly, they aren't any more likely to develop it than other animals, despite their massive size. Generally, larger animals within a species face higher cancer risk—— large dog breeds have more cells and greater cancer rates than small ones. But across species, size doesn't correlate with cancer risk. Elephants have about the same cancer risk as striped grass mice, which are 100,000 times smaller. This contradiction is called Peto’ s paradox (悖论), named after researcher Sir Richard Peto who identified it in the 1970s. Solving this paradox could reveal how cancer works and inspire new human treatments.
Scientists have uncovered crucial clues. Shortly after Peto's discovery, researchers funded by Cancer Research UK discovered a tiny protein called p53 using a monkey virus. This was the first known protein our bodies use to prevent cancer. It acts as a cancer fighter to stop damaged cells from reproducing to allow repair, or speeds up their death if irreparable,preventing DNA damage from developing into cancer. Assuming the duty of the“guardian of the genome,” its role is visible in sunburned skin peeling (脱落) away to protect against skin cancer.
Problems with p53 are linked to most adult cancers. The gene making p53, TP53, is vital for cancer defense. Humans have one copy (two versions) per cell. Those born with only one functional TP53 copy face a 70% lifetime cancer risk. African elephants, however, possess 20copies (40 versions) of TP53 in every cell. Though these copies work differently, the extra versions make elephant cells highly resistant to DNA damage. They“self-destruct” to prevent mutations (变异) human cells ignore. Not all such changes cause cancer, but with high error risks, elephant cells“shoot first and ask questions later.”
Researchers believe comparing these TP53 variants could advance our understanding of cancer defense. Copying elephants’ multi-copy TP53 system might offer a new model for human cancer medicine, turning nature's solution into potential solutions.
28. What does the underlined phrase“correlate with” mean in paragraph 1
A. demonstrate a link with. B. be identical to.
C. get along well with. D. depend entirely on.
29. What does sunburned skin peeling show about p53
A. It mainly damages skin. B. It removes cells too late.
C. It assesses damage level. D. It only works on skin.
30. What does paragraph 3 say about elephant cells
A. They ignore small damage.
B. They reproduce despite damage.
C. They are weaker than human cells.
D. Their strong reaction prevents cancer.
31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To describe the gene functions of TP53.
B. To contrast cancer defense systems.
C. To advocate for elephant conservation.
D. To explain an evolutionary solution to cancer.
D
Expansive framing is the counterpart to bounded framing. Bounded framing involves“teaching to the test” in ways that minimize students’ future use of knowledge, signaling its irrelevance beyond the classroom and holding back skill development. In contrast, expansive framing equips students with a compass, revealing why to invest effort in learning science as a tool for navigationg the world. By contextualizing material as personally relevant and encouraging, it connects learners to science tangibly, widening perspectives. This approach enhances transfer, critical thinking, and motivation, fostering greater personal relevance and sustained scientific interest.
However, finding real-world examples of science content relatable to students' lives can be tricky. Providing authentic scientific situations often requires experts with career-specific knowledge that may not be readily available. Therefore, restructuring instruction to be expansive requires the partnership of science teachers with members of industry, academics,or other researchers. These partnerships could inspire dialogues on pressing problems— those experts seek to solve and students strive to understand.
Expansive framing represents a point of interaction for students and teachers to be deeply engaged with science. While many science phenomena may be abstract, global, or层层,causing students to feel conflicted, expansive framing provides a means of cutting through those layers and gives students a deeper understanding of science, allowing more tangible connections with how science is applied.
Aside from relevance, this personal contextualization opens the door for engaging with critical questions not usually covered by standards. As with previous science reform,discussions about science are often limited to what concepts and practices should be learned,where, when, and how. Perhaps due to standardized instruction, questions of why and for whom are often left out. Expansive framing leads students directly towards asking these questions.
In both of these ways, expansive framing represents a stepping stone towards better science comprehension and scientific competence. It is crucial that we help students forge deep bonds with science, starting in the classroom.
32. What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Science learning promotes personal interest.
B. Expansive framing neglects test preparation.
C. Teaching to tests enhances student motivation.
D. Bounded framing restricts transfer of skills.
33. Why must teachers seek external partnerships
A. Teachers lack practical scientific knowledge.
B. Schools prioritize test scores over capabilities.
C. Students need industry leaders for career decisions.
D. Standardized instruction prevents irrelevance.
34. How does expansive framing transform student inquiry
A. By focusing on standardized education of science.
B. By guiding students to question purpose and reason.
C. By simplifying complex procedures of discussion.
D. By establishing a new set of rules for questioning.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Challenges in Teaching Science Effectively
B. Strategies for Applying Science in Real-life
C. The Role of Expansive Learning in Education
D. Advancing Science Learning with Wider Contexts

AI's Place in Today's Schools
Artificial intelligence is entering classrooms worldwide. This technology brings exciting possibilities for both teachers and students.
Personalized learning stands out as a key benefit. 36 They then offer exercises matching that student's level and speed. For example, a student struggling with math might get simpler problems first. This approach helps everyone progress more effectively.
Teachers gain valuable support from AI too. Grading homework and tests takes less time with AI assistance. Teachers can then focus more on guiding students directly. Furthermore, AIidentifies topics where many students face difficulties. 37
Accessibility improves significantly with AI. Students with hearing challenges can use tools that turn speech into text. Those with vision problems can have texts read aloud. Such tools ensure learning materials reach everyone. 38
39 AI handles schedules and tracks resources efficiently. Finding free classrooms or books takes minutes instead of hours. This efficiency frees staff's time for more important tasks.
Of course, multiple challenges remain. Protecting student data is extremely important. 40 We must address these issues carefully. Still, AI clearly offers powerful ways to improve education for many when used wisely.
A. School management also becomes smoother.
B. AI tools can study how each student learns best.
C. Therefore, classrooms become more inclusive places.
D. Thus, education extends beyond traditional classrooms.
E. Teachers often require extra training to use AI effectively.
F. This insight allows teachers to adjust their lessons accordingly.
G. Without proper protection, student data may fall into wrong hands.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be assigned to write a science-fiction novel one day. But then, in the afternoon, Mr. Tian, our dearest Chinese teacher,‘broke the news’ to us in his typically soft-spoken voice with his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation. To say I was astonished would be an understatement. I was thunderstruck. “A science-fiction novel Really ”
The final bell's echo still hung in the air as classmates burst into excited discussion around me. Xie Jun waved his arms like a conductor, declaring he’ d build a time-travel watch.Dong Mei's laughter bubbled over as she described talking dinosaurs on a far-away planet.Their words rang like buzzing bees in my ears. I gripped my desk, my mind a perfect blank page.
In the evening, I paced in front of the art building, glancing at the vast and empty sports field deserted by sports fans. With eyebrows wrinkled in frustration, I pulled my hair and racked my brains in vain for a single idea for this assignment. I felt like the poor old man who had gone eighty-four days without catching a single fish, drifting with the current in the deep waters of the Gulf Stream, dehydrated and e on! I did not wish for a giant18-foot-long swordfish. All I was praying for was an encouraging bite at the bait (鱼饵) to give me some inspiration! I didn't know why, but all the science fiction I had read seemed to have fled from my head, leaving just one sentence echoing in the wilderness (荒野) of my mind,“My right brain has nothing left; my left brain has nothing right.”
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly an idea flashed across my mind.
Two days later, Mr. Tian read my novel aloud to the whole class.
