Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman,Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China,where she was born and grew up,or in the United States,where she spent most of her life,but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century,one that “radically(根本上)” changed human’s view of the universe.
Born on May 31,1912,Wu was a diligent student.After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934,Wu enrolled at the University of California,Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics.
She was always cautious in experiments.She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments.To get accurate results,she worked hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation for accuracy.There was a saying among physicists:If the experiment was done by Wu,it must be correct.
Wu was honored with the National Medal of Science in 1975 and became the president of the American Physical Society that same year.She was recognized as one of the best experimental physicists in the world.Wu retired from her position at Columbia University in 1981.During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist,Wu’s remarkable achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”,“queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”.
Although she spent most of her life in the US,Wu always wore qipao,a traditional Chinese gown.“She indeed had set a great model for women and girls to ‘see the limitlessness of life’,and ‘what can be gained by pushing past the barriers around you’,” wrote Jada Yuan,Wu’s granddaughter,in an article when she recalled the time spent with Wu.“She was fighting to be seen and respected at a time when women and Chinese people in America rarely were,” Yuan also wrote.
24.What do we know about Wu Chien-shiung from the first paragraph
A.She was born and grew up in the United States.
B.Her influence on nuclear physics was significant.
C.She was equally well-known in China and the United States.
D.She was a physicist who only changed the view of the universe slightly.
25.What can best describe Wu Chien-shiung
A.Innovative but lazy.
B.Humble and diligent.
C.Hard-working and careful.
D.Outgoing and intelligent.
26.Why was Wu Chien-shiung called “Chinese Madame Curie”?
A.Because she discovered radium like Marie Curie.
B.Because she won the Nobel Prize in Physics,just like Marie Curie.
C.Because she was born in China and later moved to France like Marie Curie.
D.Because she made significant contributions to physics,similar to Marie Curie.
27.What did Wu Chien-shiung’s granddaughter emphasize about her grandmother
A.She defeated her enemies.
B.She worked hard to get promoted.
C.She cared much about her appearance.
D.She was an inspiration for women and girls.
C
A lot of glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items,but it doesn’t break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years.A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative.
In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances,a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable glass made from amino acids(氨基酸).That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.
In a test,glass beads(玻璃珠) made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of mice,and the breakdown of the beads and the skin healing process were observed for 30 days.A diagram from the study shows how the mice’s bodies broke down the beads.In that month,the glass implant degraded(降解) beneath the skin,the wound site healed,and fur grew back.“Throughout the experimental period,no mice showed any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation,and none of them experienced obvious weight loss,” the researchers wrote in their paper.
Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment,this biodegradable glass is not as durable as traditional glass,because amino acids can break down quickly in heat.In order to overcome this barrier,the researchers chemically modified the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass making.This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher.
“It’s important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage,and far from large-scale commercialization,” emphasized Yan Xuehai,a professor involved in the study,in a press release.
28.What did the researchers study during the experiment
A.The mice’s skin healing process.
B.The breakdown of the glass beads.
C.The medical value of the new glass.
D.The glass degradation with less injury to the mice.
29.How do the researchers improve the durability of amino acid glass
A.Adding more amino acids.
B.Heating the glass and rapidly cooling it.
C.Using special chemical substances.
D.Changing the producing process of glass.
30.What does the underlined word “modified” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Transformed. B.Melted.
C.Enlarged. D.Produced.
31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.A New Kind of Perfect Glass
B.Amino Acids Make Glass Tougher
C.Large-scale Commercial Glass Products
D.Environment-friendly and Biodegradable Glass

Not long ago,attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)(多动症) was thought to affect only school-aged boys—the naughty ones who could not sit still in class and were always getting into trouble.Today the number of ADHD diagnosis(诊断) is rising fast in all age groups.
At the moment,ADHD is treated as something you either have or you don’t,which is a binary approach to diagnosis.It has two consequences.The first is that treating everyone as if they are ill fills up health-care systems.The second consequence occurs when ADHD is treated as a disorder that needs fixing.This leads to a terrible waste of human potential.Forcing yourself to fit in with the “normal” is tiring and can cause anxiety and depression.
The binary view of ADHD is no longer supported by science.Researchers have realized that there is no such thing as the “ADHD brain”.For most people with ADHD,the symptoms(症状) are mild enough to disappear when their environment plays to their strengths.
In Portsmouth,teachers have been trained to evaluate a child’s neurodiversity(神经多样性) characteristics that include speech,energy levels,attention and adaptability.The goal is to find where children need support and where they have strengths,without diagnosing them with anything in particular.Organizing lessons to mix sitting,standing and working in groups is one way to make things easier for pupils with ADHD.
Greater understanding of neurodiversity would reduce bullying in schools and help managers grasp that neurodiversity people are often specialists,rather than generalists.They may be bad in large meetings or noisy classrooms,but exceptional at things like multitasking and repetitive activities that require attention to detail.Using their talents wisely means leaving what they cannot do well to others.
A culture that respects difference and takes an enlightened view of the rules will help people achieve more and get more out of life.That,rather than more medical appointments,is the best way to help the growing numbers lining up for ADHD diagnosis.
32.What does the author think of “the binary approach”?
A.Extreme. B.Effective.
C.Rare. D.Advanced.
33.Why does the author mention the practice in Portsmouth
A.To advocate teamwork.
B.To stress teachers’ role.
C.To prove no “ADHD brain”.
D.To introduce a way to assess ADHD.
34.In which condition might people with ADHD perform well
A.Attending a large meeting.
B.Taking notes while watching a video.
C.Having a class in a noisy classroom.
D.Helping teachers manage class.
35.What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A.People with ADHD should accept themselves.
B.People with ADHD should get more medical treatment.
C.People should stop treating ADHD as a disorder.
D.People with ADHD should strictly obey social rules.

In today’s rapidly evolving world,the importance of critical thinking cannot be overstated. 36 It not only helps students analyze information and solve problems but also prepares them for the complexities of the future workplace.This essay will discuss the necessity of critical thinking in modern education and its various benefits.
Critical thinking fosters(促进) intellectual curiosity and a love for learning.When students are encouraged to question and analyze,they develop a deeper understanding of the subjects they study. 37 This leads to a more engaged and motivated learning experience.
Critical thinking skills are essential for making informed decisions.In an age where information is readily available but often unreliable,the ability to evaluate sources and discern(辨别) facts from fiction is crucial.Students must learn to evaluate information critically and make informed decisions based on that evaluation. 38
39 When students are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and think outside the box,they come up with novel solutions to complex problems.This ability to think critically and independently is what sets humans apart from other animals and machines.This fosters an environment of creativity and innovation,which is vital for progress and development in any field.
In conclusion,the inclusion of critical thinking in modern education is not just a nice addition but a necessity. 40 It prepares students for the challenges of the future and equips them with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly complex world.
A.Critical thinking promotes creativity and innovation.
B.People hold different views on almost everything because of this.
C.As a result,students will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of life.
D.Without these skills,students may fall prey to misinformation and make poor choices.
E.Therefore,integrating critical thinking into educational curricula is extremely important.
F.This encourages them to explore new ideas and concepts,expanding their knowledge base.
G.Critical thinking is the ability to analyze,evaluate,and reason about information in a logical and objective manner.

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。
Alex rode his bike on his way home,and Johnson’s Pond came into view.
Sometimes his dad took him canoeing(划独木舟) there,and Alex loved it.The pond was always so alive with activity,and sometimes Alex discovered turtles(乌龟) sunbathing on sunny rocks.Alex was curious about the turtles he saw.When it was too rainy to go canoeing,he and his dad would go to the library to check out books on turtles.
Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day.He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again.
Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead.It looked like a big gray rock.But it was a funny place for a rock to be.He jumped off to have a look.It turned out that it was actually a large turtle making its way across the road.Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.
Out of the corner of his eye,he saw a car approaching.The turtle was still only halfway across the road.Alex knew he couldn’t pick it up because snapping turtles have a powerful bite and they could even bite off someone’s finger! What could he do
Thinking fast,he started waving both hands wildly.“Stop! Stop!” he cried.The car slowed to a stop.
“Are you alight,Alex?” It was his neighbor,Mrs Ramos.
“I’m fine,Mrs Ramos,” said Alex.“I’m just trying to save a turtle.It’s probably going to lay egg.”
“Oh,yeah.It’s spring,” said Mrs Ramos.“So,I guess a lot of turtles need to lay their eggs in the grass across the road.” Then she waved goodbye and drove off.
Alex thought about what Mrs Ramos had said.“There would probably be more turtles trying to cross the road at this spot!” he realized.But he couldn’t stand there all day trying to stop cars.He looked around and a road sign caught his eye.And then his face brightened.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
He jumped on his bike and raced home to find Dad.

M: Fellow scientists,I finally have some good news to report.As you know, I have been studying sea life for three months in New York Harbor.Today,I can finally present some hard evidence that sharks have returned to these waters.For the past two weeks,I’ve been helping to film the Shark Week program for the Discovery Channel on TV. My job was to sit in a boat near a dead whale and check it for shark bites.It’s been a very hot July,so this wasn’t the easiest task.After five days,I noticed there were several large shark bites along the stomach of the whale.I was thrilled!Because this means our protection efforts are starting to pay off. Sharks’ returning to a former hunting ground indicates that the waters are cleaner and healthier.We have been trying to clean up this area and the rivers that poured into the sea for many years.I want to take this opportunity to thank the friends of the Environment Society.You have all made your best effort so that future generations can live in a clean world.

Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman,Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China,where she was born and grew up,or in the United States,where she spent most of her life,but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century,one that “radically(根本上)” changed human’s view of the universe.
Born on May 31,1912,Wu was a diligent student.After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934,Wu enrolled at the University of California,Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics.
She was always cautious in experiments.She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments.To get accurate results,she worked hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation for accuracy.There was a saying among physicists:If the experiment was done by Wu,it must be correct.
Wu was honored with the National Medal of Science in 1975 and became the president of the American Physical Society that same year.She was recognized as one of the best experimental physicists in the world.Wu retired from her position at Columbia University in 1981.During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist,Wu’s remarkable achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”,“queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”.
Although she spent most of her life in the US,Wu always wore qipao,a traditional Chinese gown.“She indeed had set a great model for women and girls to ‘see the limitlessness of life’,and ‘what can be gained by pushing past the barriers around you’,” wrote Jada Yuan,Wu’s granddaughter,in an article when she recalled the time spent with Wu.“She was fighting to be seen and respected at a time when women and Chinese people in America rarely were,” Yuan also wrote.

A lot of glass today made from sand and sodium carbonate(碳酸钠) can be reused or melted down and recycled into new items,but it doesn’t break down in the environment and will sit in landfills for thousands of years.A team of Chinese scientists aimed to deal with this environmental concern by developing an eco-conscious alternative.
In a study published recently in the journal Science Advances,a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Process Engineering describe how they engineered biodegradable glass made from amino acids(氨基酸).That glass would have a smaller impact on the environment and can break down in a few weeks or in several months.
In a test,glass beads(玻璃珠) made out of amino acids were placed under the skin of mice,and the breakdown of the beads and the skin healing process were observed for 30 days.A diagram from the study shows how the mice’s bodies broke down the beads.In that month,the glass implant degraded(降解) beneath the skin,the wound site healed,and fur grew back.“Throughout the experimental period,no mice showed any pain-related behavior that may have been caused by the glass implantation,and none of them experienced obvious weight loss,” the researchers wrote in their paper.
Although amino acids do degrade over time in the environment,this biodegradable glass is not as durable as traditional glass,because amino acids can break down quickly in heat.In order to overcome this barrier,the researchers chemically modified the amino acids using the heating-cooling procedure applied in glass making.This is when materials for the glass are heated to become soft and then rapidly cooled so as to make the glass tougher.
“It’s important to point out that this biodegradable glass is currently in the lab stage,and far from large-scale commercialization,” emphasized Yan Xuehai,a professor involved in the study,in a press release.

Not long ago,attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)(多动症) was thought to affect only school-aged boys—the naughty ones who could not sit still in class and were always getting into trouble.Today the number of ADHD diagnosis(诊断) is rising fast in all age groups.
At the moment,ADHD is treated as something you either have or you don’t,which is a binary approach to diagnosis.It has two consequences.The first is that treating everyone as if they are ill fills up health-care systems.The second consequence occurs when ADHD is treated as a disorder that needs fixing.This leads to a terrible waste of human potential.Forcing yourself to fit in with the “normal” is tiring and can cause anxiety and depression.
The binary view of ADHD is no longer supported by science.Researchers have realized that there is no such thing as the “ADHD brain”.For most people with ADHD,the symptoms(症状) are mild enough to disappear when their environment plays to their strengths.
In Portsmouth,teachers have been trained to evaluate a child’s neurodiversity(神经多样性) characteristics that include speech,energy levels,attention and adaptability.The goal is to find where children need support and where they have strengths,without diagnosing them with anything in particular.Organizing lessons to mix sitting,standing and working in groups is one way to make things easier for pupils with ADHD.
Greater understanding of neurodiversity would reduce bullying in schools and help managers grasp that neurodiversity people are often specialists,rather than generalists.They may be bad in large meetings or noisy classrooms,but exceptional at things like multitasking and repetitive activities that require attention to detail.Using their talents wisely means leaving what they cannot do well to others.
A culture that respects difference and takes an enlightened view of the rules will help people achieve more and get more out of life.That,rather than more medical appointments,is the best way to help the growing numbers lining up for ADHD diagnosis.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了多动症 ADHD 的诊断和治疗方法的变化。过去认为多动症主要影响学龄男童,但现在各年龄段的多动症诊断数量都在快速增长。文章指出,目前对多动症采取的是二元论的诊断方法,但这会导致医疗资源浪费和人才潜力浪费。
32.What does the author think of “the binary approach”?
A.Extreme. B.Effective.
C.Rare. D.Advanced.
答案 A
解析 观点态度题。根据第二段中的“二元诊断方法有两个后果。其一,把每个人都当作病人来对待,致使医疗保健系统不堪重负。其二,当多动症被视为亟待修复的功能障碍时,人类潜能的极大浪费便随之发生。强迫自己适应‘正常’标准令人心力交瘁,还可能诱发焦虑和抑郁”可知,作者认为“二元方法”是极端的。故选A。
33.Why does the author mention the practice in Portsmouth
A.To advocate teamwork.
B.To stress teachers’ role.
C.To prove no “ADHD brain”.
D.To introduce a way to assess ADHD.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Researchers have realized that there is no such thing as the ‘ADHD brain’.”以及第四段中的“In Portsmouth,teachers have been trained to evaluate a child’s neurodiversity(神经多样性) characteristics that include speech,energy levels,attention and adaptability.”可知,作者提到朴次茅斯的这种做法是为了证明没有“多动症大脑”。故选C。
34.In which condition might people with ADHD perform well
A.Attending a large meeting.
B.Taking notes while watching a video.
C.Having a class in a noisy classroom.
D.Helping teachers manage class.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“They may be bad in large meetings or noisy classrooms,but exceptional at things like multitasking and repetitive activities that require attention to detail.Using their talents wisely means leaving what they cannot do well to others.”可知,多动症患者擅长多重任务处理,所以他们会在边看视频边做笔记时表现良好。故选B。
35.What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A.People with ADHD should accept themselves.
B.People with ADHD should get more medical treatment.
C.People should stop treating ADHD as a disorder.
D.People with ADHD should strictly obey social rules.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A culture that respects difference and takes an enlightened view of the rules will help people achieve more and get more out of life.That,rather than more medical appointments,is the best way to help the growing numbers lining up for ADHD diagnosis.”可知,作者在这一段暗示了人们应该停止将注意力缺陷多动症视为一种疾病。故选C。

Critical thinking fosters(促进) intellectual curiosity and a love for learning.When students are encouraged to question and analyze,they develop a deeper understanding of the subjects they study. 37 This leads to a more engaged and motivated learning experience.
Critical thinking skills are essential for making informed decisions.In an age where information is readily available but often unreliable,the ability to evaluate sources and discern(辨别) facts from fiction is crucial.Students must learn to evaluate information critically and make informed decisions based on that evaluation. 38
39 When students are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and think outside the box,they come up with novel solutions to complex problems.This ability to think critically and independently is what sets humans apart from other animals and machines.This fosters an environment of creativity and innovation,which is vital for progress and development in any field.
In conclusion,the inclusion of critical thinking in modern education is not just a nice addition but a necessity. 40 It prepares students for the challenges of the future and equips them with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly complex world.
A.Critical thinking promotes creativity and innovation.
B.People hold different views on almost everything because of this.
C.As a result,students will be better equipped to navigate the complexities of life.
D.Without these skills,students may fall prey to misinformation and make poor choices.
E.Therefore,integrating critical thinking into educational curricula is extremely important.
F.This encourages them to explore new ideas and concepts,expanding their knowledge base.

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Alex rode his bike on his way home,and Johnson’s Pond came into view.
Sometimes his dad took him canoeing(划独木舟) there,and Alex loved it.The pond was always so alive with activity,and sometimes Alex discovered turtles(乌龟) sunbathing on sunny rocks.Alex was curious about the turtles he saw.When it was too rainy to go canoeing,he and his dad would go to the library to check out books on turtles.
Now it looked like tomorrow might be another sunny day.He decided he would ask Dad if they could go canoeing and look for turtles again.
Just then Alex saw something in the road up ahead.It looked like a big gray rock.But it was a funny place for a rock to be.He jumped off to have a look.It turned out that it was actually a large turtle making its way across the road.Alex knew right away it was a snapping turtle.
Out of the corner of his eye,he saw a car approaching.The turtle was still only halfway across the road.Alex knew he couldn’t pick it up because snapping turtles have a powerful bite and they could even bite off someone’s finger! What could he do
Thinking fast,he started waving both hands wildly.“Stop! Stop!” he cried.The car slowed to a stop.
“Are you alight,Alex?” It was his neighbor,Mrs Ramos.
“I’m fine,Mrs Ramos,” said Alex.“I’m just trying to save a turtle.It’s probably going to lay egg.”
“Oh,yeah.It’s spring,” said Mrs Ramos.“So,I guess a lot of turtles need to lay their eggs in the grass across the road.” Then she waved goodbye and drove off.
Alex thought about what Mrs Ramos had said.“There would probably be more turtles trying to cross the road at this spot!” he realized.But he couldn’t stand there all day trying to stop cars.He looked around and a road sign caught his eye.And then his face brightened.

He jumped on his bike and raced home to find Dad.“Dad,can I have some old wood to make a wooden sign?” Alex asked eagerly.Hearing Alex’s full explanation,Dad then smiled knowingly.Then the father and son devoted themselves to cutting a wood board into the right “T” shape.After that,Alex wrote down a line with red paint on both sides of the sign,reading “Slow! Turtles Crossing!” Work all done,they put the wooden sign into their car and went for dinner.
The next morning,Dad and Alex drove to the pond with the wooden sign in the car.Upon arriving,they sprang into action.Alex pulled the sign to the side of the road and held it tightly while Dad hammered it into the ground.Sweat dripping into their eyes,they worked with passion until the sign got fixed firmly in the ground.Alex stepped back and surveyed their work.“Slow! Turtles Crossing!” he read out loud and grinned.“Ready to go canoeing?” “Yes!” Alex blurted out,rushing to the pond with pride.
