Growing up in the UK, I was utterly fascinated by the tiny world of insects. At five, my dog wrecked an ant nest I’d spent weeks building, so I set out to rebuild it better. I carved tiny dwellings for ants from twigs and leaf fragments, then moved on to fashioning teacups from silver foil for imaginary sprites. When my mother saw my work, she whispered, “The smaller your creations, the larger your impact will be.”
As I matured, my designs grew fiendishly complex. Sculpting is no casual hobby; I often work 16 - hour stretches without breaks, and a single piece can take three months to finish. I must hold my breath during the entire sculpting process to avoid disturbing the fragile forms.
Once, a fly landed on a tiny Cinderella carriage I was carving. Its wingbeat blew the delicate work away, and it was lost forever. Another time, I accidentally exhaled (呼气) on a minuscule Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and she vanished. Yet these failures taught me to refine my technique, leading to even more precise work on the second try.
My micro - sculptures have taken me to extraordinary places. In 2012, I met the Queen, presenting her with a crown perched on the head of a pin. In 2013, I earned my first Guinness World Record for the smallest sculpture: a 24 - carat gold motorbike that fit inside a human hair. In 2017, I broke my own record with a human fetus sculpture measuring just 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm.
Although I was diagnosed with autism as an adult, I was once labeled a “failure” by my schoolteachers. Now, I see my autism as a superpower — it has given me the laser focus to excel in my craft. I run workshops for neurodiverse kids, sharing my story and helping them build their own tiny worlds.
The micro - kingdom has always been my happy place. I’ve tried larger sculptures, but small is where I shine. We must learn to value the little things in life, for they can hold immense power.
4. What can we infer from the comment of the author’s mother
A. Small art was less valuable than large-scale works.
B. The author’s work was too delicate to be practical.
C. The author was encouraged to pursue tiny world passion.
D. The author’s focus on tiny things would limit his success.
5. What does the underlined word “fiendishly” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Extremely. B. Frighteningly. C. Surprisingly. D. Conveniently.
6. What specific achievement did the author accomplish in 2017
A. Creating a tiny gold motorbike in a hair.
B. Being granted an audience with the Queen.
C. Holding workshops for neurodiverse children.
D. Breaking his own Guinness record with a fetus sculpture.
7. Why does the author view his autism as a “superpower”
A. To win public sympathy through it.
B. To give intense focus for micro-sculpture.
C. To allow easier communication with others.
D. To make him popular among schoolteachers.
C
International sportswear giants have long competed to place their high-tech running shoes on the feet of elite (精英) athletes. Now, they eye a fresh opportunity: targeting the extended hours when runners shift from gear designed for speed to footwear made for comfort.
Companies that once focused only on fashion or outdoor recreation are rushing into the so-called “recovery footwear” market. “After a long run or intense workout, there’s a moment when you just want your feet to breathe,” explains Sam Poser, a senior industry analyst. “This isn’t a new trend, but what’s different now is the scale.”
Traditionally, post-run shoes have been a specialized product. However, leading brands are now making a concerted effort to carve out a mainstream market. A recent survey suggests over 50% of U.S. consumers are interested in recovery footwear, not just to comfort the tired feet post-exercise but also to suit everyday casual wear. Many office workers have also joined runners as key customers, seeking relief from standing all day in rigid shoes.
The trend is led by Oofos, a brand that initially sought to design a shoe to propel (推动, 驱动) wearers faster and higher. Instead, the patent foam they developed had the opposite effect; it absorbed energy like a soft cushion, rather than delivering a springy bounce. Recognizing the potential, Oofos turned to focus exclusively on recovery, creating shoes that reduce impact and ease pressure on the body.
In contrast, Birkenstock takes a different approach. While Oofos emphasizes soft, shock-absorbent foam, Birkenstock prioritizes firm support. “Tired feet need stability, not just softness,” the brand argues. Its iconic soles, typically crafted from cork, provide the rigid structure that many adults seek after a long day on their feet.
According to Jeff Henderson, a franchise owner of four Fleet Feet stores in Ohio, the sector has rapidly transformed into big business. “Oofos is among the fastest-growing brands this decade,” he says. “And while Birkenstock is chipping away at its market share, the recovery category as a whole has really taken off.”
8. What differs the current recovery footwear market from the traditional one
A. Involving international sportswear giants.
B. Boosting athletic performance via targeted design.
C. Focusing on outdoor recreation rather than sports.
D. Building a mainstream market through large-scale joint efforts.
9. What can we learn about recovery footwear from the passage
A. Popularity among ordinary office workers.
B. Design of springy bounce for daily activities.
C. Exclusivity for professional runners after intense training.
D. Similarity in materials and design concepts across brands.
10. Why did Oofos change its direction to focus on recovery footwear
A. Purpose of meeting casual wear demand.
B. Failure to improve athletic performance.
C. Reduction of foam material for shoes.
D. Desire for high-end market competition.
11. What can be inferred from Jeff Henderson’s words
A. The recovery footwear industry is booming.
B. Oofos will surely become the top-selling brand.
C. Birkenstock has taken most of Oofos’ market share.
D. Fleet Feet profits mainly from selling running shoes.
D
Historically, drug development has been associated with high failure rates. On average, only 1 in 10 promising drug candidates finally makes it to market. Turning a simple molecular (分子的) structure into a workable treatment typically takes 10 to 15 years and a budget exceeding $1 billion. This high attrition (损耗) rate has long been a massive barrier for the industry.
However, generative AI has emerged as a revolutionary force. The drug industry is rapidly adopting this technology to analyze vast biological datasets. AI tools can identify promising target proteins and suggest novel molecules that could combine effectively with those targets. Furthermore, they can predict the effectiveness and toxicity of potential candidates, significantly reducing the likelihood of early-stage trial failures.
According to recent data, AI-designed molecules show an 80% — 90% success rate in early-stage safety trials, a substantial increase from the historical average of 40% — 65%. While the results in later stages remain uncertain, early improvements alone could boost the overall success rate. Consulting firm McKinsey estimates that AI could add an enormous $60 bn — $110 bn in annual value to the industry, primarily by simplifying complex processes from clinical documentation to administrative efficiency.
Major drug companies are increasingly partnering with AI firms and tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Nvidia. For instance, Nvidia has teamed up with Eli Lilly to build the drug industry’s most powerful supercomputer. As AI revolutionizes drug development, some industry value may shift toward technological partners, creating new economic dynamics in healthcare innovation.
Yet, challenges remain. Drug firms still hold unique advantages in patent data and regulatory expertise. But as AI tackles more complex biological problems, these traditional strengths may become less critical. Additionally, governments must accelerate regulatory reviews to prevent bottlenecks as the number of new candidates increases sharply.
Perhaps the biggest impact lies in patent law. Currently, long patent lives help drug companies cover investments, encouraging them to pursue high-risk discovery businesses. Yet if the costs and riskiness of innovation fall dramatically, then patent terms (which typically provide 10 — 15 years of market exclusivity) may need to become shorter.
12. What is the impact of AI on drug development from the passage
A. Rise in drug development costs for companies.
B. Complete replacement of human researchers soon.
C. Great promise in improving early-stage trial success.
D. Reduction of patent protection term to under 10 years.
13. Why do drug companies partner with tech giants like Nvidia
A. To gain access to more advanced biological data directly.
B. To reduce the risks associated with clinical documentation.
C. To take the lead in setting global regulatory standards for AI.
D. To establish the most powerful supercomputers for drug research.
14. What does the author suggest about the future of drug patents
A. Tech companies might eventually own all drug patents.
B. They may lose their legal validity entirely as AI evolves.
C. The length of patent protection could potentially be reduced.
D. New patents will no longer be needed for AI-designed drugs.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. AI: The Key to Healthcare Patent Law Reform.
B. AI: A Powerful Force in Drug Industry Transformation.
C. AI: Revolution in Early-Stage Drug Target Discovery.
D. AI: Transformation of Traditional Drug Companies’ Future.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For so long, we had been told by our parents, teachers, and society that the reason why we have not achieved our goals is that we don’t want them hard enough, we don’t have discipline or we’re not motivated. We have always felt guilty for not being where we want to be. Guilt doesn’t create progress either. So we feel guilty and we are still stuck. The book Atomic Habits offers a different perspective. ____16____. Instead, it says that you need to make your habits as easy as possible to do. That’s the only way to stick to them. It provides four laws or systems that you can apply to good habits.
● To make good habits obvious: make them more visible in your routine or environment. For example, add a new habit to something you already do. ____17____. This is called habit stacking.
● To make good habits attractive: pair them with a current habit or activity that you enjoy. I have started carrying a book whenever I go to the park. Instead of scrolling on my phone, I’ll read. My brain has started connecting a new desired habit (reading) with a habit I enjoy (going to the park). ____18____.
● To make good habits easy: start small and reduce friction. To become a runner, start by going on brisk walks, build up to a one-mile run and so on. ____19____.
● ____20____. This can be buying yourself something nice or taking yourself out to dinner if you stick to a habit for a period of time like a week or a month. Charting your progress on the calendar or in a diary can also be enough of a reward.
So now use this mantra before you find yourself trying to avoid reciting words, “One percent better every day.”
A. Eat a fruit after work or read a page before bed.
B. Habit formation focuses on outcome rather than process.
C. Reading becomes more attractive, even when not in the park.
D. This method contrasts with traditional discipline and motivation.
E. To eat healthily, start with one daily fruit instead of extreme diets.
F. To make good habits satisfying: reward yourself after consistent practice for a period.
G. To make good habits rewarding: offer yourself instant rewards after each small behavior.

Sophia was a 16-year-old girl who had a great passion for painting. Ever since she was little, she had dreamed of becoming an artist, and every brushstroke she made was filled with love. For months, she had been working on a special painting for the district art competition. It was her most precious piece, full of her hope and effort — a vibrant landscape of the park where she used to walk with her grandfather. She kept it carefully in her schoolbag, planning to hand it in the next day, her heart fluttering with anticipation.
That afternoon, her deskmate Ethan noticed that she was anxiously searching everywhere for her notebook, so he offered to help her look for it. In his eagerness to assist, he accidentally knocked the painting onto the floor in his hurry. Worse still, before either of them could react, a cup of coffee that Sophia had left on the corner of the desk was knocked over, and the dark liquid poured directly onto the painting. The colors ran, the paper soaked through, and the beautiful scene was badly ruined beyond repair.
Seeing her months of hard work destroyed in an instant, Sophia felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Her face turned red with anger and she shouted at Ethan, her voice shaking. She accused him of being thoughtless and careless, and told him she never wanted to talk to him again. Ethan stood frozen, his face pale with shock and guilt. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt extremely sorry, but he didn’t know how to make it right. For days, they didn’t speak to each other. The classroom felt cold and empty without their usual laughter, and their friendship was in deep trouble.
At night, Sophia stared at the ruined painting, feeling a mixture of sadness and regret. She missed Ethan’s jokes, his help with homework, and the way he always cheered her up. But her pride kept her from reaching out.
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。
The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness.

For so long, we had been told by our parents, teachers, and society that the reason why we have not achieved our goals is that we don’t want them hard enough, we don’t have discipline or we’re not motivated. We have always felt guilty for not being where we want to be. Guilt doesn’t create progress either. So we feel guilty and we are still stuck. The book Atomic Habits offers a different perspective. ____16____. Instead, it says that you need to make your habits as easy as possible to do. That’s the only way to stick to them. It provides four laws or systems that you can apply to good habits.
● To make good habits obvious: make them more visible in your routine or environment. For example, add a new habit to something you already do. ____17____. This is called habit stacking.
● To make good habits attractive: pair them with a current habit or activity that you enjoy. I have started carrying a book whenever I go to the park. Instead of scrolling on my phone, I’ll read. My brain has started connecting a new desired habit (reading) with a habit I enjoy (going to the park). ____18____.
● To make good habits easy: start small and reduce friction. To become a runner, start by going on brisk walks, build up to a one-mile run and so on. ____19____.
● ____20____. This can be buying yourself something nice or taking yourself out to dinner if you stick to a habit for a period of time like a week or a month. Charting your progress on the calendar or in a diary can also be enough of a reward.
So now use this mantra before you find yourself trying to avoid reciting words, “One percent better every day.”
A. Eat a fruit after work or read a page before bed.
B. Habit formation focuses on outcome rather than process.
C. Reading becomes more attractive, even when not in the park.
D. This method contrasts with traditional discipline and motivation.
E. To eat healthily, start with one daily fruit instead of extreme diets.
F. To make good habits satisfying: reward yourself after consistent practice for a period.
G. To make good habits rewarding: offer yourself instant rewards after each small behavior.

Dear Chris,
How are you I’m writing to share my experience at our school’s “Green Campus, Together We Act” event last week.
Together with classmates, I planted trees in the school garden and designed posters to promote waste sorting. Though tired after the morning’s work, I felt a strong sense of achievement. This activity made me realize that environmental protection starts with small daily actions. Working together for a greener campus was truly inspiring.
Have you joined in any green activities recently I’d love to hear about them.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
Sophia was a 16-year-old girl who had a great passion for painting. Ever since she was little, she had dreamed of becoming an artist, and every brushstroke she made was filled with love. For months, she had been working on a special painting for the district art competition. It was her most precious piece, full of her hope and effort — a vibrant landscape of the park where she used to walk with her grandfather. She kept it carefully in her schoolbag, planning to hand it in the next day, her heart fluttering with anticipation.
That afternoon, her deskmate Ethan noticed that she was anxiously searching everywhere for her notebook, so he offered to help her look for it. In his eagerness to assist, he accidentally knocked the painting onto the floor in his hurry. Worse still, before either of them could react, a cup of coffee that Sophia had left on the corner of the desk was knocked over, and the dark liquid poured directly onto the painting. The colors ran, the paper soaked through, and the beautiful scene was badly ruined beyond repair.
Seeing her months of hard work destroyed in an instant, Sophia felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Her face turned red with anger and she shouted at Ethan, her voice shaking. She accused him of being thoughtless and careless, and told him she never wanted to talk to him again. Ethan stood frozen, his face pale with shock and guilt. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt extremely sorry, but he didn’t know how to make it right. For days, they didn’t speak to each other. The classroom felt cold and empty without their usual laughter, and their friendship was in deep trouble.
At night, Sophia stared at the ruined painting, feeling a mixture of sadness and regret. She missed Ethan’s jokes, his help with homework, and the way he always cheered her up. But her pride kept her from reaching out.
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。

【参考范文】
The next morning, Ethan showed up in front of Sophia with a nervous look. He held out a crumpled piece of paper, his hands trembling, and said he had stayed up all night trying to redraw her painting as best as he could. The landscape was not as vibrant as the original, but every stroke was full of regret and sincerity. He kept apologizing, saying he knew nothing could make up for her lost work, but he hoped this small effort could show how sorry he was.
Tears came to Sophia’s eyes as she truly understood Ethan’s kindness. She took the painting gently, touching the rough brushstrokes, and realized she had been too stubborn to see his regret. She hugged Ethan tightly, saying she was also sorry for shouting at him. They promised to never let a small mistake ruin their precious friendship, and Sophia decided to redo the painting with Ethan’s help, turning the regret into a beautiful memory.
