One summer night in 1893, James Cornish, a young Black man, rushed into Provident Hospital in Chicago with serious stab wounds (刺伤) to his chest. He was bleeding heavily and needed urgent help. Luckily, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams-the hospital’s founder and a skilled surgeon—was there that night.
At the time, most hospitals refused to treat Black patients or let Black doctors work in them. To fight this injustice, Williams had opened Provident Hospital in 1891. It was the first hospital in the U.S. owned and run by Black Americans, and it welcomed patients of all races. It also trained nurses, including those like Emma Reynolds, who had been turned away from other schools because of her race.
Daniel Hale Williams was born in 1856. After his father died, he began working at a young age to support his family. Later, he became interested in medicine and studied hard, even though segregation (隔离) made it very difficult for Black students to receive medical education. After years of effort, he became a trained surgeon and opened Provident Hospital in 1891.
Two years later came the night that would make history. Faced with Cornish’s life-threatening injuries, Williams realized that ordinary treatment would not be enough. So he made a bold decision: he would operate on the heart-something never successfully done before. With six doctors standing by watching, Williams carefully opened Cornish’s chest and found serious damage near the heart. With the heart still beating, he repaired the wounds with steady hands. The operation was medically unprecedented (前所未有的), but it succeeded.
Amazingly, Cornish survived. After 51 days in the hospital, he walked out fully recovered and lived for another 20 years. This groundbreaking operation marked a major step forward in medical history-and showed what could be achieved when talent met opportunity, despite racial barriers.
4．Why did Williams open Provident Hospital
A．To support his family. B．To do heart operations.
C．To challenge racial inequality. D．To train Black doctors and nurses.
5．What difficulty did Williams face in becoming a surgeon
A．Few Black medical schools. B．Unfair treatment based on race.
C．Lack of skilled teachers’ guidance. D．Having no support from his family.
6．Why was Williams’ operation on James Cornish considered groundbreaking
A．It took six doctors 51 days to complete.
B．It was done in a patient’s home, not a hospital.
C．It used a new type of medicine invented by Williams.
D．It was the first successful operation on a human heart.
7．What is the main message the author conveys through Williams’ story
A．Medical operations were very risky in the 19th century.
B．Racial injustice limited hospital access for Black people.
C．Heart surgery techniques have improved greatly since 1893.
D．Determination can overcome barriers and lead to achievement.
American actor Marc Herrmann says he’s finally able to call himself a full-time working actor — thanks to Chinese micro dramas. He’s one of many Hollywood professionals finding opportunity as China’s short drama platforms gain popularity in the U.S. and reshape the global streaming (流媒体) market.
Behind the boom is the fact that China’s mini-drama industry has developed a complete ecosystem, reshaping the viewer market in film and TV with its “short, fast, and catchy” features. According to the 2024 White Paper on the Development of China’s Short Drama Industry, the American micro-short drama market reached 50.4 billion yuan (about $7.03 billion) last year, beating box office income for the first time. The success of Chinese short dramas overseas is not about spreading domestic (国内的) content, but about localized reinvention in themes and visual language for the overseas market.
Xu Wensong, an associate professor at the School of Cultural Industry Management at the Communication University of China, told us that Chinese short dramas are characterized by appealing storylines, an ability to deliver high emotional value and instant entertainment. With improving production quality, these short dramas hold a certain competitive edge in international markets. “Chinese platforms are good at adjusting content to local tastes”, Xu said.
Micro drama production has restructured the traditional logic of the film and television industry. A Hollywood film editor said that an increasing number of micro dramas funded by Chinese companies, developed by Chinese creative teams, and starring Hollywood actors are being produced in Los Angeles. This, he said, has “rescued” many Hollywood professionals who were on the brink of unemployment.
Sun Jiashan, an associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and Tourism Administration, noted that the overseas development of Chinese micro dramas symbolizes a significant practice of “cultural output in the digital age”. Sun believes that micro dramas may become an important tool for China’s cultural soft power, carving out a different path in the global streaming competition.
8．Why are Chinese short dramas successful overseas
A．Because they meet local tastes.
B．Because they display domestic content.
C．Because they reshape the global streaming market.
D．Because they have developed a complete ecosystem.
9．According to Xu Wensong, which of the following is the characteristic of Chinese short drama
A．Classic roles. B．Plain stories.
C．Emotional value. D．Localized settings.
10．What does the underlined phrase “on the brink of” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Close to. B．Aware of. C．Confused about. D．Terrified of.
11．What might Sun Jiashan probably agree with about Chinese short dramas
A．They have promoted economy in USA．
B．They can serve as a cultural messenger.
C．They have revived the Hollywood industry.
D．They can stand for the Chinese streaming soft power.
A team of scientists from the University of Plymouth in the UK placed radishes (a type of vegetable) into a water-based system containing nanoplastic particles (纳米塑料微粒). After five days, almost 5% of the nanoplastics had made their way into the radish roots. A quarter of those were in the safe-to-eat, fleshy roots, while a tenth had traveled up to the higher leafy shoots, despite built-in features within the plants that typically screen harmful material from the soil.
Plants have a layer within their roots called the Casparian strip (凯氏带), which should act as a form of filter (过滤) against particles, many of which can be harmful. This is the first time that a study has demonstrated nanoplastic particles could get beyond that protective barrier, with the potential for them to build up within plants and be passed on to anything that consumes them.
The findings suggest even fresh, healthy food products can contain millions of tiny plastic pieces per bite, many as small as a millionth of a centimeter. There are some limitations to the study, as it didn’t use a real-world farming setup. The amount of plastics in the liquid is higher than that in soil, and only one type of plastic and one kind of vegetable were tested.
Nevertheless, the basic principle stands: The smallest plastic nanoparticles can apparently pass through protective barriers in plants, and from there into the food we eat. Given the rapid spread of plastic pollution, this could be happening globally on the largest possible scale. There is no reason to believe this is unique to this vegetable, with the clear possibility that nanoplastics are being absorbed into various types of produce being grown all over the world.
“This study provides clear evidence that particles in the environment can build up not only in seafood but also in vegetables,” says marine biologist Richard Thompson. “Moreover, this work contributes to our understanding of build-up and the potentially harmful effects of microparticles and nanoparticles on human health.”
12．What is the function of the Casparian strip
A．It stores water for plants during dry periods. B．It serves as a barrier against harmful particles.
C．It produces chemicals to fight against diseases. D．It helps plants absorb nutrients more efficiently.
13．What limitation of the study is mentioned in the text
A．The researchers used unrealistic plastic amount. B．The scientists tested too many types of vegetables.
C．The plastic particles were too small to detect easily. D．The experiment lasted for an insufficient time period.
14．What is Richard Thompson’s attitude towards the research
A．Dismissive. B．Tolerant. C．Critical. D．Favorable.
15．Which would be the most suitable title for the text
A．The Severity of Food Safety Issues B．A Breakthrough in Agricultural Technology
C．How Plastic Particles Enter Our Food Chain D．What the Most Plastic-Resistant Vegetable Is
A lot of parents think kids want to spend all their time on social media, and that’s why it’s so hard to take away.
But here’s the truth: 16 The reason they can’t decide not to use these apps for themselves is because they’re afraid of missing out on social opportunities, since so many young people maintain their friendships on these platforms. If parents all made the same decision not to let our kids use social media, we’d solve the problem for them. Even if only some parents restrict their kids’ use, it will be enough to force teens to find other ways of communicating.
When I talk to parents and teachers about this, I like to start by telling them about a 2023 study in which college students were asked how much money researchers would have to pay them not to use social media accounts for a month. 17
Actually, the average amount they wanted was $50, and the median (中位数), $30, was even lower. Then the researchers asked the students how much they’d have to pay them to deactivate their accounts if their friends did the same thing. The answer is: 18 No audience member of mine has ever correctly guessed the result.
In situations like this, our job as parents is to step in and help our kids. If parents all told our kids they’re not allowed to use social media until they’re 16 years old, none of them would face the dilemma (窘境) of losing social opportunities in the first place. Even if only a few of their friends don’t have social media, they won’t be pariahs (被遗弃的人). 19
Instead of seeing pictures of the parties to which they weren’t invited on social apps, they could text with their friends on flip (老式翻盖) phones to make plans — or call and chat. 20 Instead of following the polished versions of one another’s lives, they could get together in person and talk about how they’re really doing.
A．Kids will probably worry about it.
B．Our responsibility here is no different.
C．Many teenagers recognize that social media is unhealthy.
D．The students were willing to pay the researchers to make this happen.
E．So talk to the parents of your kids’ friends and get them to do the same thing.
F．My audience typically guesses that the students demanded tens of thousands of dollars.
G．Chat groups with people kids know are a good alternative to conversations on social apps.

Nowadays, we are used to opening an app to skim public review s for reference before going to a restaurant. If it has a score of 4.8 or above on a 5-point scale, the restaurant 36 (guarantee) to be a good choice; but if it is a 4 or even less, it almost always means the restaurant is so terrible that you are likely to suffer.

We need to analyze the reasons that lead to the present situation 39 reflect on measures to improve credibility and consumer experiences.

For another, some consumers may go 41 their original intention and give high scores because they receive free dishes or discounts when 42 (ask) to submit comments.
43 (concern) these phenomena, platforms must develop richer ways for quality players who need more 44 (expose) to display themselves and earn what they deserve.

五、书面表达
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。
A once-in-a-lifetime flood didn’t stop a man on a paddleboard (桨板) from rescuing his neighbors. A hurricane hit a small town sitting on a barrier island highly vulnerable to flooding. However, as the Category 4 storm was forecast to miss them, many residents, including Marty Thomas, a surf coach, decided to stay.
Shortly before dusk, the island suffered a total power failure. Meanwhile, a massive wave broke through the town’s seawalls, dumping water into the streets. Thomas watched in alarm as the floodwater rose from nothing to ankle-deep within just a few minutes. Without hesitation, he hurried to alert his neighbors living in the same single-storey building.
After helping one of his neighbors load pets and belongings into a Jeep, Thomas knocked on the door of an elderly man, supporting him into the vehicle. He then woke up the remaining two neighbors and hurried them into their Jeep. Soon, the two vehicles sped off, with water nearly reaching the headlights.
Still, Thomas remained behind. His friend George Grant, who lived down the street in a three-storey flat, had told him to come and spend the night if his place flooded. Now Thomas watched as rising water began spilling through the windows of his home. Time to split.
Thomas selected a firm 4-meter paddleboard, threw some valuables into a back pack and clipped (夹) a flashlight to his waist. With those done, he stood up on the board and paddled through inky darkness to Grant’s. The wind pushed against him, and broken branches floated past as the water was raging around. He was tying his board to a tree in chest-deep water when a woman called to him from a balcony. Pointing to a small house across a flooded field, she yelled, “There’s a woman trapped in that house over there! Will you go check on her ”
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。
“I’ll go,” Thomas yelled back.

Finally, he guided the frightened woman onto the paddleboard.

46．Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua, My favorite sport is jogging, which I stick to every dawn along the school’s tree-lined track, rainy or shining.
This refreshing workout not only boosts my physical stamina, keeping me vigorous and focused throughout busy school days, but also serves as a perfect stress buster — melting away academic pressure with every steady step. It has also cultivated my perseverance, teaching me to push through fatigue and strive for consistent progress instead of giving up easily.
Undoubtedly, sports are more than just physical exercise; they are the golden path to holistic health, benefiting both our bodies and minds.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
47．One possible version:
“I’ll go,” Thomas yelled back. Without hesitation, he paddled towards that small house, the beam of the flashlight cutting through the inky darkness like a beacon. As he got closer, he could see that the water level was almost up to the ceiling of the first floor. After searching for several minutes, he found the woman huddling in the corner of the second floor, her face pale with terror. “It’s okay,” Thomas said soothingly, reaching out his hand. “I’m going to get you out of here.”
Finally, he guided the frightened woman onto the paddleboard. Ensuring that the woman sat steadily, Thomas shoved off from the flooded house, his paddle slicing through the wild water. The return to Grant’s was tougher — wind screamed and waves slammed against the board. Thomas paddled on, his muscles burning with each stroke. When they arrived, Grant hauled the woman to safety. Exhausted but relieved, Thomas collapsed onto the balcony. Gasping, he looked out at the submerged town — his quick choice to stay had turned him from a resident to a rescuer.

But here’s the truth: 16 The reason they can’t decide not to use these apps for themselves is because they’re afraid of missing out on social opportunities, since so many young people maintain their friendships on these platforms. If parents all made the same decision not to let our kids use social media, we’d solve the problem for them. Even if only some parents restrict their kids’ use, it will be enough to force teens to find other ways of communicating.
When I talk to parents and teachers about this, I like to start by telling them about a 2023 study in which college students were asked how much money researchers would have to pay them not to use social media accounts for a month. 17
Actually, the average amount they wanted was $50, and the median (中位数), $30, was even lower. Then the researchers asked the students how much they’d have to pay them to deactivate their accounts if their friends did the same thing. The answer is: 18 No audience member of mine has ever correctly guessed the result.
In situations like this, our job as parents is to step in and help our kids. If parents all told our kids they’re not allowed to use social media until they’re 16 years old, none of them would face the dilemma (窘境) of losing social opportunities in the first place. Even if only a few of their friends don’t have social media, they won’t be pariahs (被遗弃的人). 19
Instead of seeing pictures of the parties to which they weren’t invited on social apps, they could text with their friends on flip (老式翻盖) phones to make plans — or call and chat. 20 Instead of following the polished versions of one another’s lives, they could get together in person and talk about how they’re really doing.
A．Kids will probably worry about it.
B．Our responsibility here is no different.
C．Many teenagers recognize that social media is unhealthy.
D．The students were willing to pay the researchers to make this happen.
E．So talk to the parents of your kids’ friends and get them to do the same thing.
F．My audience typically guesses that the students demanded tens of thousands of dollars.
G．Chat groups with people kids know are a good alternative to conversations on social apps.

五、书面表达
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。
A once-in-a-lifetime flood didn’t stop a man on a paddleboard (桨板) from rescuing his neighbors. A hurricane hit a small town sitting on a barrier island highly vulnerable to flooding. However, as the Category 4 storm was forecast to miss them, many residents, including Marty Thomas, a surf coach, decided to stay.
Shortly before dusk, the island suffered a total power failure. Meanwhile, a massive wave broke through the town’s seawalls, dumping water into the streets. Thomas watched in alarm as the floodwater rose from nothing to ankle-deep within just a few minutes. Without hesitation, he hurried to alert his neighbors living in the same single-storey building.
After helping one of his neighbors load pets and belongings into a Jeep, Thomas knocked on the door of an elderly man, supporting him into the vehicle. He then woke up the remaining two neighbors and hurried them into their Jeep. Soon, the two vehicles sped off, with water nearly reaching the headlights.
Still, Thomas remained behind. His friend George Grant, who lived down the street in a three-storey flat, had told him to come and spend the night if his place flooded. Now Thomas watched as rising water began spilling through the windows of his home. Time to split.
Thomas selected a firm 4-meter paddleboard, threw some valuables into a back pack and clipped (夹) a flashlight to his waist. With those done, he stood up on the board and paddled through inky darkness to Grant’s. The wind pushed against him, and broken branches floated past as the water was raging around. He was tying his board to a tree in chest-deep water when a woman called to him from a balcony. Pointing to a small house across a flooded field, she yelled, “There’s a woman trapped in that house over there! Will you go check on her ”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

“I’ll go,” Thomas yelled back.

46．Dear Editor,
I’m Li Hua, My favorite sport is jogging, which I stick to every dawn along the school’s tree-lined track, rainy or shining.
This refreshing workout not only boosts my physical stamina, keeping me vigorous and focused throughout busy school days, but also serves as a perfect stress buster — melting away academic pressure with every steady step. It has also cultivated my perseverance, teaching me to push through fatigue and strive for consistent progress instead of giving up easily.
Undoubtedly, sports are more than just physical exercise; they are the golden path to holistic health, benefiting both our bodies and minds.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
47．One possible version:
“I’ll go,” Thomas yelled back. Without hesitation, he paddled towards that small house, the beam of the flashlight cutting through the inky darkness like a beacon. As he got closer, he could see that the water level was almost up to the ceiling of the first floor. After searching for several minutes, he found the woman huddling in the corner of the second floor, her face pale with terror. “It’s okay,” Thomas said soothingly, reaching out his hand. “I’m going to get you out of here.”
Finally, he guided the frightened woman onto the paddleboard. Ensuring that the woman sat steadily, Thomas shoved off from the flooded house, his paddle slicing through the wild water. The return to Grant’s was tougher — wind screamed and waves slammed against the board. Thomas paddled on, his muscles burning with each stroke. When they arrived, Grant hauled the woman to safety. Exhausted but relieved, Thomas collapsed onto the balcony. Gasping, he looked out at the submerged town — his quick choice to stay had turned him from a resident to a rescuer.
