Born with a disability in her right leg, Mei faced numerous challenges in her daily life. Regardless, Mei refused to let her disability define her.
From a young age, Mei harbored a deep passion for painting. With the support of her loving family, she transformed her wheelchair into a mobile easel (画架), allowing her to create art wherever she went. Every stroke (笔画) of her brush was like a witness to her growth.
As Mei grew older, her talent attracted the attention of the local community. Encouraged by their support, she decided to pursue her dreams of becoming a professional artist. However, Mei soon encountered doubt from others, even her childhood best friends, who questioned her ability to succeed in the art world.
Instead of backing up, Mei pressed on, expressing her frustration (沮丧) into her artwork. Her paintings were beautiful, reflecting the beauty she saw in the world around her. Through her art, Mei found a sense of purpose, proving to herself and others that disabilities could not put out the fire of creativity.
Eventually, Mei received an invitation to showcase her artwork at Guggenheim Museum in New York. Wild with joy, she was unsure if she was ready to face the judgement of the art world. With the support of her family and friends, Mei decided to seize the opportunity.
The show was a great success. Through Mei’s journey, she was able to reach thousands of other people with disabilities who would benefit from her experience. That’s why she is still pressing on and fighting—not because she’s broken, but because she not only has an opportunity to fully achieve her potentials as a disabled person but also the will to inspire everyone else around her.

When Howard Carter opened King Tut’s tomb (墓穴), it was full of gold and other valuables. When he and his team then attempted to remove King Tut’s mummy (木乃伊), they did a great deal of damage to the mummy while removing it.
Decades later, in 1968, experts conducted an examination of King Tut’s mummy using simple X-ray technology. Three important discoveries led to various theories about his death. First, the X-rays showed that bones in Tut’s chest were missing. Some guessed the damage was caused by a war injury or an accident. Plus, there was a small hole in the back of the skull (头骨), and pieces of bone inside it, causing many to believe that Tut was killed by a blow to the back of the head. Was he murdered by people wanting to take control of Egypt Finally, a serious broken bone was discovered on Tut’s left leg. Tut was hurt a few hours before his death. This could have been the result of an accident. Could an infection from the injury have killed Tut
In 2005, scientists under the direction of Zahi Hawass used new X-ray technology to study the mummy. They discovered that the damage to Tut’s chest was caused by Howard Carter, and the hole in Tut’s skull was made when the body was gotten ready for burial. While this ruled out the theory of murder, it still doesn’t tell us exactly how he died.
Then, in 2008, when Hawass and his team analyzed the DNA of the mummies and other tombs nearby, they made some shocking discoveries. They found Tut’s father and mother, who had similar DNA, were actually brother and sister. The DNA they passed on to Tut may have made it easy for him to catch a disease. Did an infection that started in his broken leg cause his death No one knows for sure. But Hawass and his team hope they will someday have an answer to this age-old mystery.
（ ）28．Why was the examination of King Tut’s mummy conducted in 1968
A．To determine the cause of Tut’s death. B．To assess the condition of Tut’s coffin.
C．To discover the identity of Tut’s parents. D．To study the treasures found in Tut’s tomb.
（ ）29．What do we know about the damage to Tut’s skull
A．It was caused by an accident. B．It was caused by a blow to kill.
C．It was caused by Howard Carter’s team. D．It was caused during burial preparation.
（ ）30．The discovery of Tut’s parents implies that ______.
A．Tut’s broken leg had little to do with his DNA.
B．Tut’s DNA features might have been common.
C．Tut’s death was closely connected to their DNA.
D．Tut’s health was probably affected by their shared DNA.
（ ）31．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A．To analyze the cultural significance of King Tut’s tomb.
B．To entertain readers with tales of ancient Egyptian royalty.
C．To inform readers about the discoveries surrounding King Tut’s death.
D．To persuade readers to follow further research into King Tut’s life and death.
D
What would happen to you if you fell into a black hole Some physicists believe you would burn up the moment you entered one. Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts that you would pass through, unaware that you were lost to the rest of the universe.
Black holes have a bottom, but you wouldn’t live to see it. Gravity, as you fell, would grow stronger. The pull on your feet, if you were falling feet first, would be so much greater than the pull on your head that you would be stretched until you were torn apart. But pieces of you would reach the bottom. From there, some physicists believe that those pieces that once were you could end up in another universe.
However, nobody has ever seen or will see a black hole. A black hole is invisible, a blank spot in space, but scientists are able to know its existence by the effect it has on things around it. For example, if an object comes close to a black hole, it should be possible to see the powerful gravity of the black hole trying to pull the object in. In fact, this is exactly what scientists are planning to do: to observe one while it eats a very large object.
The black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is peaceful but is currently pulling a gas cloud toward itself fast. As the gas cloud begins to enter the black hole, telescopes will be able to take a picture of a black hole in action. This will be the best proof so far that black holes certainly exist.
A black hole is an eater. The nearer objects get to it, the hotter they become. Black holes also spin (旋转), and the extreme heat and spinning break up and expel large amounts of matter at extremely high temperatures. This heated matter flies through space, away from the hole at unbelievable speed. It can travel millions of light-years straight through a galaxy. The material then cools, comes together, and eventually forms new stars around the galaxy, thus the birth of new universes.
（ ）32．According to paragraph 2, what is the consequence of falling into a black hole
A．Being reduced to pieces. B．Being stretched into a single piece.
C．Being burned in another universe. D．Being pulled to the bottom instantly.
（ ）33．Why does the author use the example in paragraph 3
A．To prove that no one can see a black hole.
B．To show that black holes can in fact be detected.
C．To observe while a black hole eats a huge object.
D．To see the powerful gravity a black hole possesses.
（ ）34．What’s the meaning of the underlined word in the last paragraph
A．Set up. B．Take in. C．Throw off. D．Call for.
（ ）35．What’s the main idea of this passage
A．What a black hole is and its various aspects.
B．Why a black hole is invisible and its final discovery.
C．How a black hole is formed and its unknown mysteries.
D．When a black hole bears a universe and its amazing origin.

第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Over 100 great white shark attacks happen each year. As a result, often 56 (refer) to as “man-eaters”, great whites are thought to hunt and kill humans. However, this is actually wrong, since great whites have rarely killed their human victims. If Steven Spielberg 57 (make) his film Jaw s in a different way, people would have had a positive impression on great whites. In fact, a person has a greater chance of being killed by lightning 58 by a great white.
One of the most common 59 (cause) for great white attacks is that great whites don’t see well. It is thought that they often mistake a person for a seal or a sea lion, 60 many people find hard to believe. But there is reason to doubt this. Some research now shows that great whites can actually see very well. When 61 (attack) seals, great whites move up to the surface and bite with great force. However, when they approach humans, they often move in slowly and bite 62 (little) hard. They take a bite, feel them over, then move on.
Great whites “attack” because they are actually curious animals that want 63 (investigate) things. Experts believe that it’s possible that great whites use their bite not just to kill and eat, 64 also to gather information. According to this idea, once a great white identifies what it is biting, it simply lets go. They are 65 (simple) trying to learn what they are.

Maya led a quiet life in Utah. She spent her days volunteering at a local shelter, helping the homeless, offering food and comfort to those in need. Maya lived by herself in a rented apartment, but she found peace and comfort in what she did.
One winter evening, as Maya was returning from her usual rounds at the shelter, she noticed a figure in a dark alley (巷). It was a slender (瘦小的) man. “Alex,” the man said, shivering. “My name is Alex.” Maya gazed him up and down, his weary eyes telling tales of hardship and despair. Without hesitation, Maya offered Alex a meal and a place to rest for the night. Despite his initial unwillingness, Alex soon found comfort in Maya’s kindness. Day by day, Maya welcomed Alex into her home, offering him food, shelter, and most importantly, a sense of belonging.
Then one day, Alex didn’t appear. Two days, three days passed. Alex still didn’t appear. Maya asked around, but in vain. She decided Alex didn’t need her help anymore or that he found better comfort. Three months later when the town was celebrating its founding, it was like everyone came. Maya put up her stand in the marketplace, selling self-made bakery. When she was traveling between stands, she came across a ring, actually the ring her mother gave her before passing away. She was so sure not only because of its distinctive design, but the ring also had her mother’s name carved into it on the inner side. Tears of sorrow flowed down her cheeks, as she realized what had happened. James, the stand owner, said a slender man sold it to him. Upon knowing the truth, James offered to give the ring back to Maya. As Maya wiped away her tears, her heart raced with a mix of emotions -disbelief, disappointment, and distress. A happy day turned a sad one for her.
Maya continued her life, her determination to help the need didn’t shift because of this incident. Actually, she worked even harder.
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。
One day, when she arrived at the shelter, she saw Alex!
Alex showed Maya the new shelter he helped fund with the money.

One day, when she arrived at the shelter, she saw Alex! Maya’s heart skipped a beat on seeing him. With a heavy heart, Alex admitted stealing Maya’s ring and selling it, which he had wanted to spend. However, he had a change of heart when thinking about Maya’s help and care. Eventually, he came to his senses and used the money to help fund a shelter in a neighboring town, where he had been volunteering to help others in need. In disbelief, Maya still found it hard to forgive Alex.
Alex showed Maya the new shelter he helped fund with the money. Soon, Maya’s doubt melted away as she witnessed the devotion and passion with which Alex had poured himself into this noble cause. Though living alone, Maya doesn’t feel lonely. Now, Alex has become a trusted friend sharing the same goal with Maya to make a difference in the community. Together, they have started to expand their efforts and reach out to even more people in need. And the ring is now a reminder of who and what they really are.

“Upcycling” is becoming more and more popular. The term means to improve or to repair damaged or old objects into new and usable items. Typically this can be done for clothes and furniture, but it is not limited to just those items.
The benefits of doing this can be listed below. It can often be cheaper to upcycle something, rather than buy something brand new. But this may not be true for things such as electronic items, which are often cheaper for a new product. Another major benefit of upcycling is that the end product is highly unique. You will find nothing else with the same product. Also, upcycling has created many jobs out of thin air. The beauty of upcycling is that people or organizations can buy the materials very cheaply from charity shops or even get them for free. The possibility of making a profit by upcycling provides a great opportunity for people with a business mind. For example, sunglasses can be made from old products, and the finished product can be fantastic and sold for a good price.
