My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while my classmates drew cartoons. "Art feeds the soul but starves the body," Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our "hidden skills". My hand shook as I wrote "observing details" - something I’d learned from painting flower petals. "That’s medical research’s most needed skill," she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, "Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic " For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something - the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. "You made medicine speak," the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled "Medical Illustration". He showed me job listings I never knew existed - graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. "Your ’impractical’ skill makes you the crème de la crème," he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out - they just multiply possibilities.
24. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1
A. She was excited about studying medicine.
B. She felt torn between art and medical study.
C. She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
D. She gave up the hobby of drawing completely.
25. What first inspired Lora’s interest in medical illustration
A. Recognition from a nurse.
B. Guidance from Mr. Dawson.
C. Encouragement from her lab partner.
D. Comments from Dr. Eleanor Whitman.
26. What does the underlined phrase "the crème de la crème" in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. A late bloomer. B. The pick of the bunch.
C. A smart cookie. D. A snake in the grass.
27. What message does the author want to convey
A. A picture is worth a thousand words. B. Put all your eggs in one basket.
C. It’s good to have two strings to your bow. D. Follow the beaten track to success.
C
The weakening of the human connection to nature might be good for economic growth but is bad for people. A tipping point was reached in 2020 when human-made materials - such as steel, concrete and plastic - were found to weigh more than all life on Earth. Continuing to grow concrete forests rather than real ones is shortsighted. Simply being in the nearest wood has such health benefits that the Woodland Trust successfully lobbied for (游说) it to be prescribed by doctors.
Yet slipping from popular culture is the wonder and beauty of the natural world. For every three nature-related words in hit songs of the 1950s, researchers found, there was only slightly more than one 50 years later. It is not a moment too soon that teenagers will be able to take a natural history test, given that for decades children have been able to name more video game characters than wildlife species.
Part of treating this social disease would be for parliament to pass a "right to grow" law, allowing anyone to turn underused public spaces into vegetable and fruit gardens. The idea is for people to get back in touch with the soil - while producing food sustainably.
Vegetable planting has a respectable tradition. In April 1649, locals responded to high prices and food shortages by cultivating vegetables on common land in Southern England. The practice of throwing seed bombs to turn vacant plots of land green took off in 1970s New York, and has been revived by green-thumbed social media influencers who disobey local U.S. regulations in a war on ugly spots in cities.
Apart from the urgent task of providing more healthy nutrients to those who increasingly can’t afford them, publicly accessible fruit and vegetable gardens connect what we eat to where it comes from - the means of production, if you will. They can make unlovely spaces lovely, and marry use and beauty as well as help promote a sense of community. Plants are also, of course, our first defense against species loss and climate change. Such planting is a small step for humanity - in the right direction.
28. According to the first paragraph, which statement is true
A. Human-made materials are harmful to life on Earth.
B. Economic growth benefits people little in the long run.
C. The year 2020 was a big turning point in human history.
D. Being in the nearest wood has been recognized as a therapy.
29. Why does the author mention the hit songs and video games in paragraph 2
A. To illustrate the development of popular culture.
B. To appeal to the public to preserve wildlife species.
C. To prove the decreased human connection to nature.
D. To justify the necessity of introducing natural history tests.
30. What can we learn from the passage about vegetable planting on common land
A. It is currently protected by the "right to grow" law.
B. It was carried out in England by throwing seed bombs.
C. It has been popularized worldwide by social media influencers.
D. It has been used to increase food supply and improve urban landscape.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. City Farming: Combating Global Food Shortages
B. Green Spaces: Curing the Social Disease of Urbanization
C. Concrete Jungles: Corrupting the Spirit of Popular Culture
D. Urban Gardening: Reweaving Humanity’s Bond with Nature
D
Genetic testing companies have a long history of creative attempts to reach the mainstream. An early example was the sequencing (测序) of rock star Ozzy Osbourne’s genes in 2010.
Lately, such projects have taken on a new, highly commercialized tendency. In 2017, we got the "Marmite (马麦酱) gene project," run by London-based genetic testing start-up DNAfit. It claims to show that love or hate for Marmite was in our genes. The project turned into a full-blown marketing campaign, and even sold Marmite-branded DNA testing tools. DNAfit is now working with Mercedes-Benz to find out whether specific genetic traits are associated with business wisdom. AncestryDNA, the world’s largest consumer genetic testing company, last year teamed up with Spotify to promote "music tailored to your DNA". Just a few weeks ago, 23andMe, the second largest, announced a partnership with Airbnb to provide genetically tailored travel experiences, also inspired by ancestral DNA.
I have skin in this game. I run a genetic-testing start-up that connects people who want their genome sequenced with researchers who want data to improve their understanding of genetic disease. I believe that broadening access to DNA testing can be a powerful force for good, providing safer, more effective medicines and giving people more power over their healthcare. But these campaigns risk discrediting the industry, by giving a misleading impression of what genetics can and can’t say and its role in determining behaviors and personal preferences.
Take the Marmite study. It covered 261 people - tiny, by the standards of the field. It was published not in a journal, but online on bioRxiv, a server where scientists typically put results before peer-review. Shortly after, researchers looked at the genetic data of more than 500 times as many people in the UK Biobank and found no such correlation. A large peer-reviewed study in 2013 found no significant link between genes and business common sense.
We need to inform the public about what this is all about: that is, the gathering of large amounts of genetic data. We need better regulation to ensure that consumers are clear that this may happen with this sensitive personal information. A checkbox on a 20-page web document full of legal terms should not be enough. Scientists too, need to start asking hard questions about whether the information they are using has been sourced ethically. DNA testing has a great future, but we can’t build this future with data acquired by any means.
32. Why does the author mention DNAfit, AncestryDNA and 23andMe in paragraph 2
A. To highlight the problems facing genetic testing.
B. To illustrate the commercial applications of DNA.
C. To compare what progress the companies have made.
D. To reveal the link between DNA and a person’s character.
33. What can we learn about the author from "I have skin in this game" in paragraph 4
A. He is challenging the available treatment for skin disease.
B. He has a personal investment in the genetic-testing business.
C. He hopes to remove people’s misunderstanding of the game rules.
D. He believes that every individual should have access to DNA testing.
34. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The disadvantages of genetic testing.
B. The scientific value of genetic testing.
C. The legal system genetic testing needs.
D. The essentials for proper genetic testing.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. DNA testing has become a booming.
B. Genetic testing campaigns are illegal.
C. DNA is anything but a marketing tool.
D. Creative marketing is key to genetic testing.

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 familiar smell of garlic and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
"Emma, over here!" My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunchtimes came back. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment changed to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted "normal" food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the remaining days of middle school, my mom packed odorless (没有气味的), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a newly met girl, asked where my food was. "I’m not really hungry," I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, "Then, I’ll eat it!" The other girls laughed - clearly Katrina was known to be a big eater.
I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend so I reluctantly dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I opened my lunch box, I could practically taste the garlic and onion. The girls, piqued (激起好奇心) by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped lunch box. I expected an "Ew" or a "What is that "

1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I thought they would walk away or tell me to leave.

One possible version
Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to recommend The Little Prince, a book that has accompanied me for many years. The book depicts the journey of a young prince who travels from planet to planet, meeting various people and learning vital lessons about life.
I recommend this book for two main reasons. First, its language is simple yet beautiful, making it enjoyable to read. Second, it may seem like a simple children’s story, but it actually speaks to readers of all ages, inspiring us to stay curious and imaginative. Reading The Little Prince not only opens my mind but also warms my heart. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
That’s all. Thanks for listening.

One possible version:
To my surprise, Katrina leaned in, her eyes widening with interest rather than disgust. "That smells amazing," she exclaimed. "Is it homemade " I nodded hesitantly, expecting the usual teasing. Instead, the other girls gathered closer, their expressions curious and friendly. When I explained that it was my mom’s fried tof, they eagerly asked questions about how it was made. For the first time, I described her cooking with genuine pride. As each of them tried a piece, Katrina nodded enthusiastically. The tension in my shoulders eased, replaced by a quiet flicker of happiness.
That afternoon, as I climbed into my mom’s car, the first thing I did was thank her for packing the tofu. She looked at me, puzzled but pleased. I told her everything - my worries, the girls’ reactions, and how they had loved her cooking. As she listened, her expression softened into a warm smile I had missed for a long time. That night, when she asked what to pack for lunch, I didn’t hesitate. "The fried tofu, please. And maybe a little extra to share." I learned that embracing my heritage could open doors to understanding and friendship, one shared meal at a time.

M: Really! She’s just written a great, new, historical novel and loads of her stuff is adapted for TV.
W: I guess historical novels just aren’t my kind of thing.
Text 5 交通罚单
M: I can’t believe you got a ticket. Did you run a red light
W: Not exactly. I was driving at 40 miles an hour in a school zone. The fine is huge! It’s a lot more than the fine for going the wrong way on a one-way street.

W: Oh look! You’ve missed it!
M: Oh, typical! They’re always late if I’m early, but if I get there a few seconds late, they leave dead on time!
W: The next one’s at five thirty. I don’t mind hanging around with you. I’ll go and get two coffees.
M: Well, take your time. It says that the five-thirty one is going to be 20 minutes late!
Text 7 信用卡办理
W: Good morning. How may I help you
M: Hi, I requested a credit card from you a week ago, but I haven’t received it yet.
W: Do you remember which one you ordered
M: I don’t remember the name, but I know it gave discounts on gas stations.
W: Oh, sorry, we’re actually all out of them. Is there any other card you are interested in
M: Well, I do shop a lot. Do you have one for that
W: Yes, we do. I can issue you that right away. I just need to see your ID card, if you don’t mind.
M: Of course not.
Text 8 公园志愿服务
M: Are you still going to the local park every day
W: Of course! And I’m so happy we were both invited to help look after the park.
M: Me too. We’ve done quite a lot in our roles as volunteers there. Our background as scientists really helps our work.
W: It certainly does. I’ve enjoyed getting involved in various projects about birds.
M: Yeah. I’ve also loved walking among the trees. It’s amazing how the newly planted ones have stopped growing in height, but grown in width recently so that they spread out their branches.
W: Yeah ... But I’m worried that tourists ignore the fact that the park is a conservation area. There is so much rubbish dropped everywhere. But maybe it’s because it’s a well-known tourist attraction. It’s difficult to ask everyone to stop using the trees as a playground.
M: Mm, you’re right. Anyway, tomorrow I’m going to help out with making whatever’s still needed there. It’s great we got the shelters done so that tourists can go birdwatching and still stay dry.
W: And those plant pots we made will be useful, too.
M: Yeah, now I’d like to get on with making some bird boxes - there just aren’t quite enough in the park at the moment.
W: I’ll come with you!
Text 9 电影拍摄
M: With us here on our podcast is Abby. She has just won an award for amateur film-makers. Welcome to the show, Abby!
W: Thanks!
M: So what made you enter this contest
W: I actually remember hearing about it on the radio and immediately decided to try my luck. I’ve always enjoyed filming people and even directed a school play once. But nothing prepared me for what was to come. And I guess that is lucky because there is nothing like completing a movie.
M: What was the most challenging part about that
W: I think the hardest of all was getting the crew together. Funding came a close second. The screenplay was the easiest as I had written one for school but hadn’t used it. And my parents let me shoot at our house so we didn’t have to worry about the venue, saving us the extra cost of renting!
M: Was filming easy then
W: Not really. Since I had been in school plays before, it came naturally. It was editing that was hard!
M: Was it because of all the different tools you needed
W: Not at all! The problem was deciding which scenes to cut. Each actor gave it their all. This win is not because of me. It was a team effort.
