During the last few weeks, I spent numerous hot nights standing beside or on my bed, trying to catch mosquitoes in my room. After my friend kept hearing about my nightly adventures, he showed up with a gift one morning: a mosquito net. It was huge, white and held the promise of a good night's sleep.
I asked my father for instructions to hang it up, which he emailed in great detail—thinking I'd be able to turn the screw on which to hang the net into the ceiling. That didn't quite work out.
Luckily, a plumber(水电工) happened to come to my house that day. After examining the net and my ceiling, he assessed it wasn't going to happen by hand. "You'll need an electric drill." Then I showed him how I could borrow a drill on an app that lets us borrow things we need from your neighbors and received three responses from people living nearby within minutes, saying they'd happily lend out theirs. One of them turned out to be a friend whose house is only 200 meters away, and the device could be picked up at his place in the evening.
Back at home, I started drilling but seemed to be unable to get through the ceiling. My dad got on speakerphone and listened to what it sounded like. After three minutes, he told me to stop. I might be hitting iron and the last thing I wanted to do was to mess up the drill. "We'll do it after I come back next week," he said. "Just be patient."
Just then I heard someone parking their car outside my house. I walked up and asked for help. To my surprise, they agreed immediately. While his girlfriend and I looked at the man in admiration, he got through the ceiling within 20 seconds. The mosquito net was finally up within a minute.
24. How did the author get the mosquito net
A. By getting it as a gift. B. By borrowing it from a neighbor.
C. By buying it from an app. D. By receiving it as a prize.
25. Why did the author turn to the app

C. To borrow money. D. To borrow a tool.
26. What did the author's father suggest when realizing the drill might hit iron
A. Continuing drilling. B. Using a stronger drill.
C. Waiting until he came back. D. Asking a neighbor for help.
27. What can we learn from the author's experience

In the depths of Abernethy Forest, researcher and conservationist Jack Bamber has just placed deer meat in the hope of attracting every nearby predator(捕食者). It may sound weird, but it's all part of a plan to catch the attention of predators who might otherwise be interested in lunching on a capercallie(松鸡) chick and it's quite normal. Capercaillies are large, secretive birds known for their striking fan tails. However, in Scotland, their population is critically low, with only about 500 left during 2021-2022.
Bamber's method, known as diversionary feeding, involves leaving meat near capercaillie habitats during the breeding(繁殖) season. The goal is to provide predators like pine martens and badgers—both protected species—with an easier meal, reducing the chances of them attacking capercaillie nests. This approach helps protect capercaillies without harming predators.
Initial trials have been promising, showing an 83% reduction in nest predation in areas where meat was provided. However, this is just one of many strategies needed to save the species. Other efforts include educating the public to avoid disturbing the birds, particularly in places like the Cairngorms National Park, where dogs and hikers can unintentionally stress the birds or disturb their habitats.
Carolyn Robertson, manager of the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project, works to minimize human disturbances. He said, "Dogs, even on leads, can cause capercallies to feel threatened. Public awareness campaigns have helped local dog owners understand the importance of keeping their pets under control. Additionally, initiatives like the 'Lek it be' campaign urge people to leave the birds undisturbed during the breeding season."
The species faces multiple threats, including habitat loss, conflicts with deer fences, and the impact of climate change, which affect food availability and chick survival. Despite the challenges, efforts continue with hope that the species can recover. These conservation(保护) actions not only aim to save the capercallie but also benefit other wildlife and the ecosystem as a whole.
28. What does the underlined word "weird" in paragraph 1 mean
A. Strange. B. Pleasant.
C. Disappointing. D. Costly.
29. What is the effect of initial trials to protect capercallies
A. It is unclear. B. It is ill-advised.
C. It is effective. D. It is short-lived.
30. What can we infer about these conservation actions from Robertson's words
A. They rely on researchers' work. B. They bring about additional costs.
C. They involve multi-party efforts. D. They discourage local dog owners.
31. What does the author intend to explain in the last paragraph
A. The hardships the locals suffered.
B. The problems researchers faced.
C. The background of the new policy.
D. The significance of these conservation actions.
D
Researchers at Columbia University have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) method that can accurately predict gene activity in any human cell, essentially revealing the cell's inner mechanisms. Detailed in the latest issue of Nature, this system has the potential to change how scientists study cancer, genetic disorders, and other diseases.
"Predictive generalizable computational models allow to uncover biological processes in a fast and accurate way. These methods can effectively conduct large-scale(大规模的) computational experiments, boosting and guiding traditional experimental approaches," says Raul Rabadan, senior author of the new paper.
Traditional biological methods show how cells function or respond to changes, but they lack the ability to predict these processes. Recent advances in AI and massive biological data collections are making this shift possible. However, using AI to predict gene activity inside cells has been a greater challenge—until now.
Rabadan's team developed an AI model trained on gene expression data from over 1.3 million normal human cells. Unlike earlier models trained on limited data, this system uses genome sequences(基因组序列) and accessibility data to predict which genes are active in any cell. The process is similar to how language models like MindLink, an AI chat tool, work: It learns patterns from data and applies them to new situations. Testing showed the model could accurately predict gene activity in cell types it had not encountered, matching experimental results closely.
The researchers applied the AI model to study pediatric leukemia, a childhood cancer caused by inherited mutations(遗传变异). The model predicted how these mutations disturb critical processes in cells, a finding later confirmed through experiments. This understanding highlights the specific mechanisms driving the disease. The AI model could also reveal unexplored regions of the genome, often linked to cancer. These "dark" regions do not code for proteins but may play key roles in disease.
Already, Rabadan is working with researchers at Columbia and other universities, exploring different cancers, from brain to blood cancers, learning the grammar of regulation in normal cells, and how cells change in the process of cancer development.
32. What is a problem about traditional biological methods
A. They are difficult to combine with AI.
B. They can't forecast how cells work.
C. They are expensive in large-scale research.
D. They can't collect biological data effectively.
33. Why does the author mention MindLink in paragraph 4
A. To remove public doubts about AI chat tools.
B. To introduce the disadvantages of AI tools.
C. To explain the experimental results from Rabadan's team.
D. To clarify how the AI model developed by Rabadan's team functions.
34. What does paragraph 5 mainly stress about the new AI model
A. Its application value. B. Its popularity.
C. Its complexity. D. Its design inspiration.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Scientists Unlock the Secret of Blood Cancers
B. New AI Model Exposes Secrets of Human Cells
C. Advances in AI Fuel a Heated Debate in Biology
D. AI Tools Are Widely Used to Treat Rare Diseases

Faced with the bright lights and cameras, Tim stood nervously in the recording studio, his worn-out leather jacket sticking to his back under the extreme heat of twelve LED panels(LED显示屏) which were hanging from the ceiling. The cameras looked like some giant insects with glowing red eyes ready to attack, making him think of how he'd hidden behind amplifiers(扬声器) during their first bar performance in 2005. After twenty years of playing in local bars with his band, they finally got a chance to make their first music video for their breakthrough single in the studio.
The studio's air conditioner buzzed like a swarm of bees and its cold linoleum(油毡) floor contrasted sharply with the sticky pub stages he'd known. A production assistant rushed past while carrying a clipboard(剪贴板), the environment making Tim nervous.
But as the director called "Action!", Tim's hands froze again, missing the opening part of the music. Three attempts were already ruined by his trembling hands. The wrong notes which sounded like metal echoed through the soundproofed(隔音的) walls, each failed attempt amplifying(放大) the shake in his hands. For twenty years, his guitar had sung through smoky pubs and rainy street performances, but now its strings felt slippery under his sweaty fingers. His fingers, once so confident on the guitar strings, now felt awkward and inflexible. He had never been good at performing for cameras, and age hadn't made it any easier.
His bandmates exchanged concerned glances with each others. "Relax, let's try again!" the director said with patience. Tim glanced at his bandmates, who had been through countless performances with him in the past twenty years. They gave him encouraging smiles, but he could feel his confidence slipping away. The guitar that had been his faithful companion for decades now felt like a stranger in his hands.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as Tim was about to apologize and step away, one of the bandmates, the drummer Jack, walked over. Surrounded by these familiar voices and stories, Tim felt something shift inside him.

Now I paint three times a week instead of once a week. That means I am busy with my painting on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. I first became interested in art when I was at primary school. I would go out with some paper and a few pencils at the break time and draw anything I saw. Then at middle school, we had art classes twice a week, and I learned how to use chalk to paint. I majored in art at university. I've enjoyed painting in lots of different countries. Well, I'm going to end my speech now by showing you a video of the places I've visited. After that, there will be a chance for you to relax with a cup of coffee, and then there will be some time for you to ask some questions.

第二节(满分25分)
参考范文:
Just as Tim was about to apologize and step away, one of the bandmates, the drummer Jack, walked over. Placing a hand on Tim's shoulder, "Remember that night at Murphy's Bar " he said softly. "When your string broke mid-song, you kept playing and made it work." The other band members all gathered around, sharing memories of their journey together. Twenty years of bar performances flashed through his mind—the great energy erupted by his fingers, the thunderous cheers from the audience, and midnight streetlights shining on his strings during final songs.
Surrounded by these familiar voices and stories, Tim felt something shift inside him. With his bandmates' encouragement still ringing in his ears, Tim picked up the guitar again, his fingers instinctively finding the rhythm. The studio lights blurred into familiar bar spotlights, his calloused hands moving with decades-earned muscle memory. When he opened his eyes, the camera's glare had transformed into the warm glow of shared passion. The final chord resonated through the studio, met with silent awe before erupting into back-slaps and tearful embraces.
