第二部分，阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.
Running
Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories.
High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)
If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.
Jumping rope
This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.
Swimming
Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water.
1. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour
A. Running. B. Swimming.
C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training.
2. Who may also be interested in the third exercise
A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance.
C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities.
3. What is the purpose of the text
A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise.
C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle.
B
Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss.
As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends.
Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism.
4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1
A. It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function.
C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives.
5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor
A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles.
C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job.
6. Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist
A. She thought psychology too difficult to learn.
B. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer.
C. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer.
D. She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss.
B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism.
C Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges.
D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History.
C
Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today.
With the decline in cycling, kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport. Biking supports children’s independence and overall health. And crucially, once kids are trained, it doesn’t require much effort from adults. Moreover, when enough children bike, whole neighborhoods can be transformed — safer and more friendly.
Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership. The decrease seems reflective not of streets’ safety but rather of parents’ understanding of the heightened risks massive vehicles pose.
Families haven’t always had to be this vigilant. Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with. It wasn’t until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play areas and the freedom to travel independently.
By adding more bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), local governments could encourage children to ride again. Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots.
Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term. But the investment is worth it. Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children, yet over-scheduled extracurriculars (课外活动) requiring constant monitoring rarely help. What many need is a bit more freedom: time to explore, to ride aimlessly — until they’re ready to take off.
8. Why does the author mention the Spielbergian scene
A. To criticize kids’ poor safety awareness.
B. To highlight the potential dangers of cycling.
C. To stress the importance of safe neighborhoods.
D. To show the past popularity of cycling among kids.
9. What leads to the decline of annual child cycling deaths
A. Improved street safety. B. Reduction in vehicle size.
C. Decreased cycling frequency. D. Strict application of traffic rules.
10. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Tolerant. B. Watchful. C. Patient. D. Optimistic.
11. What are parents advised to do to get kids riding
A. Explore secure spaces for practice. B. Invest in bike-friendly infrastructure.
C. Provide sufficient monitoring for kids. D. Stop arranging extracurricular activities.
D
Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world.
In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death.
Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas.
However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.
What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels.
Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.
12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1
A. By explaining a technical term. B. By contrasting the statistics.
C. By providing the study’s background. D. By citing an authority.
13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods
A. It generates blood more rapidly.
B. It prevents clots from forming again.
C. It is recyclable and economical.
D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs
A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials.
C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery.
15. What is the last paragraph about
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Necessity for tests on more animals. D. Potential application of the invention.

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。
The last lesson of the day was PE class. Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White.
That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school.
Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced!
注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office.

Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism.
4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1
A. It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function.
C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives.
5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor
A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles.
C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job.

Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today.
With the decline in cycling, kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport. Biking supports children’s independence and overall health. And crucially, once kids are trained, it doesn’t require much effort from adults. Moreover, when enough children bike, whole neighborhoods can be transformed — safer and more friendly.
Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership. The decrease seems reflective not of streets’ safety but rather of parents’ understanding of the heightened risks massive vehicles pose.
Families haven’t always had to be this vigilant. Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with. It wasn’t until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play areas and the freedom to travel independently.
By adding more bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), local governments could encourage children to ride again. Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots.
Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term. But the investment is worth it. Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children, yet over-scheduled extracurriculars (课外活动) requiring constant monitoring rarely help. What many need is a bit more freedom: time to explore, to ride aimlessly — until they’re ready to take off.
8. Why does the author mention the Spielbergian scene
A. To criticize kids’ poor safety awareness.
B. To highlight the potential dangers of cycling.
C. To stress the importance of safe neighborhoods.
D. To show the past popularity of cycling among kids.
9. What leads to the decline of annual child cycling deaths
A. Improved street safety. B. Reduction in vehicle size.
C. Decreased cycling frequency. D. Strict application of traffic rules.
10. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Tolerant. B. Watchful. C. Patient. D. Optimistic.
11. What are parents advised to do to get kids riding
A. Explore secure spaces for practice. B. Invest in bike-friendly infrastructure.
C. Provide sufficient monitoring for kids. D. Stop arranging extracurricular activities.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A

Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world.
In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death.
Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas.
However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.
What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels.
Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.
12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1
A. By explaining a technical term. B. By contrasting the statistics.
C. By providing the study’s background. D. By citing an authority.
13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods
A. It generates blood more rapidly.
B. It prevents clots from forming again.
C. It is recyclable and economical.
D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs
A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials.
C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery.
15. What is the last paragraph about
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Necessity for tests on more animals. D. Potential application of the invention.

【答案】With the development of advanced technology, artificial intelligence has gained wide currency all over the world.
Undoubtedly, AI will make a big difference to tomorrow’s world. On the one hand, with the wide spread application of AI people are freed from daily routine, and some scientists can push the boundaries of human achievements in fields like space exploration. On the other hand, some people are concerned that not only will AI take over work done by humans, putting an end to the human race but the overuse of AI will make us lazier and less intelligent.
In my opinion, we’d better take a cautious attitude towards it. For one thing, the use of AI should be placed under the authority of the government. For another, researchers are expected to further develop AI devices so that they can serve us better.

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。
The last lesson of the day was PE class. Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White.
That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school.
Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced!
注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. Every time he jumped, he would stumble a little, but he never stopped. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and adjusted his posture, then tried again. Mary thought about how Tom was willing to take on something he wasn’t good at just to help his class. She felt a little ashamed of herself—she was scared of showing her bad handwriting, but what if she could try her best like Tom Maybe the bulletin board wouldn’t be perfect, but she could put her heart into it. The nervous feeling in her stomach slowly faded, and a new sense of determination took its place. She turned around and headed straight for the teachers’ office, her steps no longer hesitant.
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. Ms. White was sitting at her desk, grading papers. When she saw Mary, she looked up and smiled, “Have you made your decision ” Mary took a deep breath and nodded firmly, “Yes, Ms. White. I’d like to take charge of the class bulletin board.” She then added, “My handwriting isn’t good, but I’ll practice and do my best to make it nice. I want to help our class, just like Tom is helping his.” Ms. White’s eyes lit up with pride. She stood up and patted Mary’s shoulder, “That’s what I wanted to hear, Mary. Bravery to try is more important than being perfect. I’ll be right here to help you.” Mary left the office with a big smile on her face, already looking forward to starting her new task.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.
Running
Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories.
High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)
If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.
Jumping rope
This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.
Swimming
Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water.
1. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour
A. Running. B. Swimming.
C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training.
2. Who may also be interested in the third exercise
A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance.
C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities.
3. What is the purpose of the text
A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise.
C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle.
B
Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss.
As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends.
Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism.
4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1
A. It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function.
C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives.
5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor
A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles.
C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job.
6. Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist
A. She thought psychology too difficult to learn.
B. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer.
C. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer.
D. She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss.
B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism.
C Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges.
D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History.

This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.
What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels.
Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.
12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1
A. By explaining a technical term. B. By contrasting the statistics.
C. By providing the study’s background. D. By citing an authority.
13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods
A. It generates blood more rapidly.
B. It prevents clots from forming again.
C. It is recyclable and economical.
D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs
A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials.
C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery.
15. What is the last paragraph about
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Necessity for tests on more animals. D. Potential application of the invention.

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。
The last lesson of the day was PE class. Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White.
That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school.
Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced!
注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard.

With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office.

第二部分，阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
You probably consider calorie (卡路里) burning with training. You can get great calorie burning effects with the following exercises.
Running
Running is one of the best calorie burners out there. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories in one hour of running. Speed and pace are all factors that can affect calorie burning. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories.
High Intensity Interval (高强度间歇运动) Training (HIIT)
If you want intensity, HIIT is right for you. This physical exercise involves working hard in intervals, then resting. Because your heart rate will stay at a high level, you’ll burn more calories in less time. On average, a person will burn 400 to 600 calories in 30 minutes.
Jumping rope
This childhood activity can actually do wonders for your health. Jumping rope is great for strengthening the lower and upper body while training your balance and coordination (协调能力), because your mind has to work while you jump. Jumping rope can burn 600 to 1,000 calories in an hour.
Swimming
Swimming is a low-intensity form of exercise that also uses muscle groups of your body. In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories. Swimming also helps to shape body, control blood pressure, and increase strength—all great reasons for you to jump into the water.
1. Which kind of exercise burns the most calories in an hour
A. Running. B. Swimming.
C. Jumping rope. D. High Intensity Interval Training.
2. Who may also be interested in the third exercise
A. Those who want to train their mind. B. Those who want to have good balance.
C. Those who want to control blood pressure. D. Those who want to do low-intensity activities.
3. What is the purpose of the text
A. To encourage people to compete in sports. B. To teach people how to do exercise.
C. To provide ways to burn calories. D. To promote a healthy lifestyle.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C
B
Life can be challenging, particularly for people with autism (自闭症). It is a disorder that does not have one single cause and can take many forms. Most often, it creates difficulty in communicating and interacting with others. Severe autism may leave someone unable to speak entirely or function without assistance. But many people with autism have led rewarding or even outstanding lives. One such person is Haley Moss.
As a three-year-old, Haley was able to do difficult tasks such as finishing large puzzles. However, she couldn’t say simple words like “Mommy.” The concerned parents took her to a doctor. After careful examination, the doctors diagnosed (诊断) her as having autism. At the time, the family was given some extremely negative news. “My parents were told that I would be lucky to have friends or even hold a minimum wage job,” Haley said. Yet, by getting professional help, Haley was able to join regular school classes at four. She did quite well at school, although with her poor social skills, it was hard for her to make friends.
Eventually, Haley became so successful that she made history. After graduating from the University of Miami, she got hired by a law firm and became the first autistic lawyer in Florida. Being a lawyer wasn’t her first choice of career, though. Previous to going to law school, she studied psychology (心理学) and considered becoming a psychologist to help others with autism. However, Haley discovered she didn’t enjoy the science classes, so she decided that becoming a lawyer would fit her interests better. In addition to being a legal professional, Haley has also published books and has a talent for painting. Most definitely, Haley has far exceeded those original low expectations of her and proven the experts wrong. In short, she has become a role model for others with autism.
4. What can be inferred about autism according to paragraph 1
A. It affects people in different ways. B. It leads to the loss of speech function.
C. It is a disorder that can be easily cured. D. It prevents people from leading successful lives.
5. What negative prediction did Haley’s parents receive from the doctor
A. Haley would never learn to speak. B. Haley would struggle with puzzles.
C. Haley would fail to graduate from school. D. Haley might not have friends or hold a basic job.
6. Why did Haley choose to become a lawyer instead of a psychologist
A. She thought psychology too difficult to learn.
B. She hoped to become the first autistic lawyer.
C. She wanted to help people with autism as a lawyer.
D. She realized entering the field of law better suited her interests.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Career in Law: The Journey of Haley Moss.
B. Overcoming Challenges: The Story of Autism.
C Understanding Autism: Causes and Challenges.
D. Haley Moss: Overcoming Autism and Making History.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. D
C
Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today.
With the decline in cycling, kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport. Biking supports children’s independence and overall health. And crucially, once kids are trained, it doesn’t require much effort from adults. Moreover, when enough children bike, whole neighborhoods can be transformed — safer and more friendly.
Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership. The decrease seems reflective not of streets’ safety but rather of parents’ understanding of the heightened risks massive vehicles pose.
Families haven’t always had to be this vigilant. Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with. It wasn’t until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play areas and the freedom to travel independently.
By adding more bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), local governments could encourage children to ride again. Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots.
Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term. But the investment is worth it. Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children, yet over-scheduled extracurriculars (课外活动) requiring constant monitoring rarely help. What many need is a bit more freedom: time to explore, to ride aimlessly — until they’re ready to take off.
8. Why does the author mention the Spielbergian scene
A. To criticize kids’ poor safety awareness.
B. To highlight the potential dangers of cycling.
C. To stress the importance of safe neighborhoods.
D. To show the past popularity of cycling among kids.
9. What leads to the decline of annual child cycling deaths
A. Improved street safety. B. Reduction in vehicle size.
C. Decreased cycling frequency. D. Strict application of traffic rules.
10. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Tolerant. B. Watchful. C. Patient. D. Optimistic.
11. What are parents advised to do to get kids riding
A. Explore secure spaces for practice. B. Invest in bike-friendly infrastructure.
C. Provide sufficient monitoring for kids. D. Stop arranging extracurricular activities.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
D
Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world.
In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death.
Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas.
However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.
What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels.
Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.
12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1
A. By explaining a technical term. B. By contrasting the statistics.
C. By providing the study’s background. D. By citing an authority.
13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods
A. It generates blood more rapidly.
B. It prevents clots from forming again.
C. It is recyclable and economical.
D. It raises success rate and reduces side effects.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs
A. The cost of medical robotics. B. The reason behind the numerous trials.
C. The inspiration behind the innovation. D. The importance of modern machinery.
15. What is the last paragraph about
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Necessity for tests on more animals. D. Potential application of the invention.

【答案】With the development of advanced technology, artificial intelligence has gained wide currency all over the world.
Undoubtedly, AI will make a big difference to tomorrow’s world. On the one hand, with the wide spread application of AI people are freed from daily routine, and some scientists can push the boundaries of human achievements in fields like space exploration. On the other hand, some people are concerned that not only will AI take over work done by humans, putting an end to the human race but the overuse of AI will make us lazier and less intelligent.
In my opinion, we’d better take a cautious attitude towards it. For one thing, the use of AI should be placed under the authority of the government. For another, researchers are expected to further develop AI devices so that they can serve us better.

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。
The last lesson of the day was PE class. Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White.
That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school.
Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced!

【答案】
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. Every time he jumped, he would stumble a little, but he never stopped. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and adjusted his posture, then tried again. Mary thought about how Tom was willing to take on something he wasn’t good at just to help his class. She felt a little ashamed of herself—she was scared of showing her bad handwriting, but what if she could try her best like Tom Maybe the bulletin board wouldn’t be perfect, but she could put her heart into it. The nervous feeling in her stomach slowly faded, and a new sense of determination took its place. She turned around and headed straight for the teachers’ office, her steps no longer hesitant.
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. Ms. White was sitting at her desk, grading papers. When she saw Mary, she looked up and smiled, “Have you made your decision ” Mary took a deep breath and nodded firmly, “Yes, Ms. White. I’d like to take charge of the class bulletin board.” She then added, “My handwriting isn’t good, but I’ll practice and do my best to make it nice. I want to help our class, just like Tom is helping his.” Ms. White’s eyes lit up with pride. She stood up and patted Mary’s shoulder, “That’s what I wanted to hear, Mary. Bravery to try is more important than being perfect. I’ll be right here to help you.” Mary left the office with a big smile on her face, already looking forward to starting her new task.
