第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分42.5分)
第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
After his baby son lost an eye to retinoblastoma, a type of eye cancer, Bryan Shaw was resolved to help prevent others from experiencing the same heartbreak.
Like many new parents, Bryan and his wife, Elizabeth, began taking countless photos of their son, Noah, from the moment he was born. When Noah was three months old, Elizabeth noticed something strange in his photos. While the flash created the usual red reflection in one eye, the other eye showed a white spot, as if something was wrong.
Concerned, Elizabeth took Noah to their pediatrician(儿科医生), who examined him and saw the same white reflection. She quickly referred them to an eye specialist. A white reflection instead of a red one can indicate retinal cancer, and unfortunately, that was the diagnosis for Noah. He underwent several months of chemotherapy and radiation, but the doctors could not save his eye.
Bryan, a chemistry professor at Baylor University, looked back over thousands of Noah’s baby pictures. He discovered that the first white spot appeared in a photo taken when Noah was just 12 days old. As Noah grew, the white spot appeared more often.
Although it was too late to help Noah, Bryan wanted to use his knowledge to benefit others. He built a database to record cancer-related features observed in the collected photographs. He also gathered images from eight other children diagnosed with retinoblastoma. With this information, Bryan teamed up with computer science colleagues at Baylor to develop a smartphone app that scans users’ photo libraries for white reflections in the eyes, acting as a kind of eye examination tool. This app, called White Eye Detector, is now available for free on App Stores.
“I told myself that I had to do this,” Bryan explained. “This disease is hard to detect. This software could save not only vision but also lives.”
1. What can be learned about Noah's condition from paragraphs 2 and 3
A. It was totally ignored. B. It worsened as he grew.
C. It remained unchanged over time. D. It arose from much flash exposure.
2. Why did Bryan develop White Eye Detector
A. To ease patients’ suffering. B. To improve his son’s eye condition.
C. To reduce the occurrence of the disease. D. To help identify early signs of the cancer.
3. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The application of the app. B. The philosophy behind the app.
C. The process of designing the app. D. The technical support for the app.
4. Which of the following best describes Bryan
A. Strict and demanding. B. Humble and ambitious.
C. Humorous and creative. D. Generous and determined.
B
Recent reports such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Living Planet Report make it clear that over the past 50 years, human activities have led to an average decline of 73 percent in global wildlife populations, with some regions reporting losses of as much as 95 percent. In terms of biodiversity, the UK isn’t performing well either, named as one of the most nature-reduced countries in the world in The State of Nature Report 2023.
“Gardens play a vital role in helping restore our ecosystem. Nature doesn’t generally stay still. It moves through landscape, waterways, coasts and seas. While conserving individual species is essential, we know that nature won’t recover unless we make our wild land, rivers and seas more suitable for wildlife as a whole. By maintaining a nature-friendly garden, gardeners help make it better for wildlife, providing a stepping stone for nature between different places, and increasing the flexibility of our ecosystem,” explained Dempsey of WWF-UK.
According to Dempsey, we need to think beyond our gardens in terms of how they fit into wider landscape. By providing nature-friendly habitats, gardens can be part of corridors that let wildlife move around. Taking this small action not only makes a difference to the surrounding ecosystem but can also boost people’s mood by connecting with nature and help relieve feelings of anxiety about the future of our natural world.
With a thoughtful design, the gardens can preserve their artistic and practical value without significant trades-off. Instead, it can unlock new opportunities to create greener and more sustainable spaces. As Dempsey points out, if the UK’s 30 million gardeners take positive actions to protect and support biodiversity, such as going peat-free (无泥炭的) or switching to use rain water, this will have a significant impact on protecting biodiversity.
5. What can we learn from the recent reports
A. Biodiversity loss only influences specific areas.
B. Human activities negatively affect wildlife populations.
C. The global wildlife populations have slightly decreased.
D. The UK is an exception with regard to biodiversity loss.
6. How can gardens help restore our ecosystem according to Dempsey
A. By increasing plant diversity.
B. By protecting individual species.
C. By integrating into the surroundings.
D. By providing a place for people to connect with nature.
7. What does the underlined word “trades-off” mean in paragraph 4
A. Adjustments. B. Benefits. C. Preparations. D. Arrangements.
8. What is a suitable title for the text
A. UK’s Biodiversity Crisis B. Small Gardens, Big Impact
C. Global Wildlife Decline Trends D. Individual Efforts, Much Difference
C
“You may feel a sharp pain, but it will be over quickly.” Before a certain kind of vaccine was injected into our arms, most of us probably heard the words above. After the anticipated pain, the nurse or doctor likely told us possible side effects. And the nurse's warning was rather specific: “Around 12 hours from now you may experience a pain in your arm or feel flu symptoms. But don't worry,” the nurse aimed to comfort them. “This can be easily managed by a painkiller.”
Like clockwork, 12 hours later, the symptoms appeared. Of course, doctors and nurses didn't mean to hurt patients but to ensure patients were fully informed. However, as our research shows, their words might unintentionally enhance the effects of an unnoticed psychological phenomenon called the “nocebo effect”, a kind of harm arising from negative expectations. And it happens when we expect to feel worse.
In 2022, Julia Haas, a Harvard researcher led a review of vaccine clinical trial data and concluded that the nocebo phenomenon could account for three quarters of the side effects associated with vaccines. The evidence for this shocking finding comes by comparing side effects between patients given the saline(生理盐水)shot and those receiving the real shot in the vaccine trials. Those receiving only a saline injection with no effect on the body still reported many side effects. It's possible that some of these effects might have been due to incorrect “symptom assumption.”
At any given time, some of us may experience low grade aches and pains, including headaches, or tiredness, and knowing that the vaccine may cause these effects might draw our attention to symptoms we are experiencing. Alternatively, some negative symptoms might have been caused or worsened by nocebo effects.
The majority of the world's population skipped shots, mainly because of fears about the vaccine's side effects. It's hard to imagine that a humble mind-body effect might have played such a role. But they should think again. Being informed is important, but it's as equally important to remember that words matter. Let's not delay the “nocebo” conversation.
9. What can be learned about side effects of the vaccine from paragraphs 1 and 2
A. They can be avoided by painkillers. B. They must be caused by the vaccine.
C. They may result from worse thoughts. D. They may be deliberately overstated by nurses.
10. What can be concluded about the patients in Julia Haas's review
A. They suffered from a certain disease. B. They received the same shot in the trials.
C. They helped test the efficiency of the vaccine. D. They were possibly affected by nocebo effects.
11. Which of the following is linked to nocebo effects
A. Experiencing headaches after a warning.
B. Getting better by taking some painkillers.
C. Becoming relaxed after an important exam.
D. Feeling anxious about the coming challenge.
12. The author writes this passage mainly to ______.
A. stress the value of vaccines B. study side effects of vaccines
C call for attention to the impact of words D. attach importance to timely communication

The Mountain’s Gift
The autumn sun cast long shadows as Kevin and his grandpa set out into the mountains a third time this week. They hoped to find more food to survive the long winter ahead.
Deep within the heart of the mountains, a wonderful mix of flavors awaited, a delicious salute (致敬) to the rough beauty and colorful generosity of nature. As they walked along the winding paths and climbed up, a world of amazing food unfolded, each offering a unique taste of the wild.
Their breath puffed out (呼出) in white clouds, and yellow fallen leaves crunched (嘎吱响) under Kevin’s boots. Grandpa hiked ahead with a waist-high basket, a canvas bag at his hip filled with last night’s dried mushrooms — the first harvest of the week.
As they walked, grandpa pointed out wild herbs and hidden berries. “Look closely, Kevin,” he said. “The mountain always provides, but we must take only what we deserve.” Kevin nodded, his eyes wide with curiosity. By noon, they rested beneath an old maple tree. Grandpa pulled their lunch from his cloth bag, some roasted sweet potatoes. Then, warm and sugary smell spread in the chilly air. Grandpa also picked some eatable fruits from nearby trees.
Meanwhile, Kevin wandered around, exploring and searching. Suddenly, an unexpected movement caught his attention. A small squirrel with a bushy tail dashed across the path, carrying a large nut in its mouth. “Let me see where it’s going,” Kevin whispered to himself excitedly. He followed the squirrel through the trees until it disappeared into a big hole in an old oak tree.
Looking inside, Kevin was frozen with surprise. The hole was filled with nuts of every kind. “There must be hundreds!” he cried out. Without thinking, he began stuffing the nuts into his basket. “We can use these! We won’t have to worry about food this winter!” After filling his basket, Kevin quickly returned to join his grandpa, showing his “achievement”. With excitement and pride, he told grandpa how he gained all these nuts.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Grandpa shook his head, with a serious look on his face.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing those words, Kevin was lost in thought.

【58题答案】
【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m excited to tell you about my latest social practice. Last weekend, I volunteered at a local nursing home. We helped clean the rooms, chatted with the elderly, and even organized a mini concert. Their smiles and stories about their youth made the time fly by.
This experience taught me that small acts of kindness can bring great joy. It also made me realize the importance of respecting and caring for the elderly. I felt a strong sense of fulfillment and can’t wait to join similar activities again.
Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua

【59题答案】
【答案】
Grandpa shook his head, with a serious look on his face. “Kevin,” he said softly but firmly, “those nuts aren’t ours to take. That’s the squirrel’s winter store. Taking it would leave the little creature hungry, even starve. Remember what I said We take only what we deserve, what nature freely offers without harming others. What you found was hidden by the squirrel, not grown wild for us.” He paused, looking at the overflowing basket. “The mountain provides generously, but we must respect all its children and share its gifts wisely.”
Hearing those words, Kevin was lost in thought. He looked down at the nuts, then back towards the old oak tree. Grandpa was right; his excitement had blinded him to the squirrel’s need. Shame washed over him. “I… I didn’t think,” he mumbled. Without another word, Kevin picked up the basket. Determined, he walked back to the oak tree and carefully poured all the nuts back into the hollow. As he returned, a sense of peace replaced his earlier pride. The mountain had indeed given him a gift far more valuable than nuts — a lesson in respect and understanding the true meaning of taking only what one deserves.
