My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while my classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words troubled me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details” — something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill,” she said excitedly, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations (插图). My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic ” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed that the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped me see the link between my two interests. On his whiteboard, he created a yellow overlap zone labeled “Medical illustration” — the point where my medical knowledge and art skills meet. He showed me job listings I never knew existed — graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖学) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you excellent,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out — they just multiply possibilities.
4. What can be inferred about Lora from Paragraph 1
A.She was excited about studying medicine.
B.She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
C.She felt torn between art and medical study.
D.She decided to give up her hobby of drawing.
5. How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her
A.It helped develop her surgical skills.
B.It directed her toward doctor training.
C.It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art.
D.It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare.
6. What finally led Lora to pursue Medical illustration
A.Recognition from a nurse.
B.Encouragement from her lab partner.
C.Guidance from Mr. Dawson.
D.Comments from Dr. Eleanor Whitman.
7. What does the author’s experience show
A.Where there is a will, there is a way.
B.It’s good to enjoy the best of both fields.
C.Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
D.You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
C
Polar bears are often the poster children for the impacts of climate change because of how much they rely on the ice for survival. Less ice forces these powerful predators to swim further to find food or spend more time on land living off fat reserves. Many polar bear populations are at risk of starvation.These polar bears are getting fatter as sea ice melts. What’s going on
To find out what might be going on, researchers looked at the body size and chest circumference of 770 adult polar bears captured during this monitoring between 1992 and 2019. Leaner polar bears, with less fat stores to see them through hard times, can be an early warning sign of a struggling population, so body condition can indicate how a population is faring.
Scientists had predicted that diminishing (逐渐减少的) sea ice would leave polar bears thinner and in poorer body condition, and Jon Aars, the lead author from the Norwegian Polar Institute, who observed rapid ice loss in Svalbard, expected this trend to harm the local bears’ physical state.
Their new findings revealed the opposite. The bears’ body condition decreased between 1995 and 2000 before improving again, even though the region was rapidly losing sea ice after 2000. “I was a bit surprised when we found that it had actually increased instead of decreasing,” says Aars. “It’s good news that they have coped so well, despite nowhere else in the Arctic having sea ice disappear at this rate.”
This doesn’t mean the bears aren’t affected by climate change. They have been forced to spend more time on land hunting less energy-rich foods, such as seabird eggs, and swim further between hunting and mating grounds. They have also lost important denning areas. “The good news is that they’re still in good health,” Aars says.
One cause is Svalbard bears preying on more land animals like reindeer, whose numbers rebounded after overhunting, supplying summer food when bears usually fast. Reduced ice may also cluster ringed seals tightly, making them easier to hunt.
This is only a small window of hope, not long-term safety. Experts warn the ecosystem could hit a irreversible tipping point, and future conditions for the bears will grow harsher. Other Arctic subpopulations decline with less ice, and each group is shaped by its local habitat.
Although these polar bears are currently doing well, that won’t continue if the ice disappears completely, says Aars: “You don’t have polar bears anywhere where you don’t have sea ice for part of the year.”
8. How does the passage start
A.By stating a common belief.
B.By describing a disaster scene.
C.By introducing poster children.
D.By raising a heated issue.
9. Which study design is similar to that in the passage
A.Check exercises to note weak learners’ personal growth.
B.Mark quiz scores to judge top students’ class progress.
C.Grade all papers to check the whole class’s true level.
D.Review all mistakes to test whole-unit knowledge grasp.
10. Why does Jon Aars say “The good news is that they’re still in good health”
A.They keep healthy by getting enough food amid sea ice loss.
B.Enough food helps them stay healthy despite ice reduction.
C.Sea ice loss has little effect on their health condition.
D.Their diet adjustment helps deal with ice loss well.
11. What does Jon Aars express at the end
A.Hope for partial climate adaptation.
B.Concern about ice-free survival.
C.Optimism about temporary security.
D.Worry about ecosystem loss.
D
Scientists have created a three-dimensional “heart-on-a-chip” (HOC) that could provide a breakthrough in the fight against the world’s leading cause of death, cardiovascular (心血管) disease.
One major challenge is that we cannot easily test how a human heart will react to a drug or disease without putting someone at risk. This engineered heart tissue beats on its own, it releases chemicals to start muscular activity, and it responds predictably to common drugs. It’s the first to include a two-way sensing platform that provides real-time tracking of activity throughout the heart tissue down to the cellular level.
In a recent paper, scientists from multiple Canadian institutions describe how they achieved this “significant advance in heart tissue engineering and drug testing.” The key advance here is the integration of sensors that can detect both large-area and small-area heart activity. Both current HOC platforms and the research team’s previous version, described in a 2024 paper, lack high-resolution cellular-level sensing. Small-area sensing is vital because many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are associated with impairment in heart muscle cells, the individual beating cells that form heart muscle tissue. As a result, measuring cellular function is critical for preventing heart failure in patients with CVDs.
To build their HOCs, the researchers harvested heart muscle cells and heart connective tissue cells from lab animals. They placed these cells into a soft structure rich in fibrous proteins and nutrients to stimulate growth, and then seeded them on tiny, flexible silicon-based chips (芯片). This is a major step toward testing diseases in the lab, since cell-generated forces govern the development of heart tissues, including their formation, remodeling, contraction efficiency, wound healing, and cancer progression.
Next, the researchers plan to model specific disorders by building heart tissues using cells from patients living with various heart conditions. These include a type of genetic heart muscle disease that can lead to heart failure, as well as irregular heartbeats, an umbrella of disorders that cause heart rate abnormalities.
12. How does the new HOC differ from earlier versions
A.It uses human patient cells.
B.It beats with external help.
C.It senses cellular heart activity.
D.It uses more flexible materials.
13. What does the underlined word “impairment” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Abnormal working.
B.Quick recovery.
C.Natural growth.
D.Regular beating.
14. What do the researchers intend to do with HOCs
A.Replace animal testing.
B.Grow full hearts for patients.
C.Cure DNA-based heart diseases.
D.Study patient-specific heart diseases.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.The New Methods to Build 3D hearts
B.A Fresh Process for Heart Drug Testing
C.An Innovation in Heart Tissue Engineering
D.The Fight Against Cardiovascular Diseases

The first week of the new semester always carried a strange kind of energy — new classes, new faces, and the quiet hope of starting over. As a 11th-grade transfer student, I walked into the noisy classroom with my head low, clutching (紧握) my backpack strap like a lifeline. Everything felt foreign — the laughter, the inside jokes, the invisible circles I wasn’t part of. My new desk mate, Olivia, sat by the window, her notebook perfectly organized, her confidence filling the space between us. When she noticed me hesitating, she smiled, slid a neatly written class schedule across the desk, and in a soft voice said she’d show me around at lunch. That small gesture made me want to belong — to be seen.
So when she mentioned the debate club after class, I told her I’d been on the debate team and had even won a regional contest. It wasn’t planned. The lie just slipped out, smooth and effortless, like it had been waiting for its cue. Her eyes lit up, and for the first time, I felt noticed — no longer just the quiet new kid.
A few days later, Olivia came running up with a sign- up sheet.“ The annual school-wide debate competition is in a month — we should team up!” she exclaimed, her enthusiasm unshakable. I tried to match her energy, but the panic settled deeper each time I imagined standing on stage. Four weeks to prepare — it felt endless and terrifying at the same time.
At our first rehearsal (排练), I stumbled over debate terms, struggled to organize arguments, and froze when asked to practice rebuttals (反驳). Some teammates exchanged eye rolls and quiet laughs that stung more than their whispers. Olivia didn’t say anything; her smile faded, polite yet puzzled.
By Friday, the lie felt heavier than the weight on my shoulders. Each“ keep going” she offered sounded like a test I couldn’t pass. That night, I stared at my debate notes, the words swimming before my eyes. I knew I couldn’t keep pretending. Something had to give.

During the next rehearsal, I finally admitted the truth to everyone. Head down, I told the whole story of my lie, full of guilt and shame. I explained I just longed to fit in and feared being looked down on as a weak newcomer. Silence fell for a moment. Unexpectedly, Olivia patted my shoulder gently and said she appreciated my honesty. Other teammates comforted me and offered to train me patiently together after class.
A month later, Olivia and I stepped onto the stage together, ready for the big day. Through weeks of consistent practice and teammates’ guidance, I mastered debating skills and became calm and confident. We cooperated perfectly, presenting logical arguments and smart rebuttals. Though we didn’t take the first prize, I won sincere praise from judges. More importantly, I learned that true friendship and self-worth never come from fake pride, but from honesty and continuous efforts.
