It was a week after my mom had passed away, and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed too close to the heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words — “I can help organize the whole thing” — stuck with me. I felt obliged (有义务的) to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.
So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “Jane, I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.
Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
24. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning
A．She felt it hard to finish the race.
B．She had no time to join in the event.
C．She thought the research meaningless.
D．She was reminded of her mother’s death.
25. What mainly helped the author recover from her mom’s death
A．The company of her friends.
B．The inspiration from her mom.
C．The pleasure in going for a run.
D．The success in organizing an event.
26. Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom
A．Considerate and polite.
B．Brave and humorous.
C．Strong-willed and caring.
D．Outgoing and patient.
27. What can we infer about the author from the passage
A．She healed via running.
B．She was good at running.
C．She won the race.
D．She still feels guilty.
C
I’ve always loved books. As a child, I’d carry them everywhere, much to my teachers’ annoyance. Books were my constant companions long before the digital age. But with smartphones, audiobooks have increased sharply in popularity, causing criticism that they aren’t “real” books and that listening to them isn’t reading.
Reading books and listening to audiobooks are different experiences. They engage different brain areas and suit different contexts. However, I’ve come to appreciate the unique advantages of audiobooks. Many feature voice actors who bring characters to life and add tunes to songs that are only words in print. Cary Elwes’ As You Wish: Amazing Stories from the Making of The Princess Bride is a great example. Elwes narrates (叙述) the book himself and invites other film actors to narrate their sections.
The belief that audiobooks don’t “count” as reading is elitist (精英主义的) and discourages literacy (读写能力). If someone struggles with print books, audiobooks can be a lifeline. Unfortunately, people who prefer audiobooks are often derided. If we want to create a world of readers, we must support all reading forms.
Rainbow Rowell’s novel Fangirl includes a character who struggles with reading. He doesn’t have a reading-based problem or ADHD but just can’t focus on text. To survive college, he records lectures and discusses topics with classmates. Reading, in any form, helps enhance critical thinking and engage with diverse views. Universities should encourage this.
I prefer audiobooks for long drives or multitasking, while I love the touch-based experience of physical books. Both formats have unique attractions. The key is to applaud the diversity of reading experiences.
In conclusion, audiobooks are a valuable form of literature. They combine well with traditional reading and provide access to stories for those who might otherwise be left out. Instead of criticizing people’s reading choices, we should celebrate all forms of engagement. What matters is the joy and knowledge from engaging with stories.
28. What advantage of audiobooks is highlighted
A．They cost less than print books.
B．They improve listening skills.
C．They voice life into stories.
D．They get readers focused.
29. What does the underlined word “derided” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Ignored.
B．Criticized.
C．Misunderstood.
D．Cheated.
30. Why is the character in Fangirl mentioned
A．To show audiobooks aid struggling readers.
B．To prove college lectures are too hard.
C．To explain causes of reading disabilities.
D．To argue for recording all school texts.
31. Which of the following might the author agree with
A．Audiobooks will replace print books soon.
B．Reading forms should be equally valued.
C．Physical books offer better experiences.
D．People should read more diverse stories.
D
A team led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang at the University of California, Irvine’s Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health has developed the most comprehensive maps yet of how genes directly influence one another in brain cells affected by Alzheimer’s disease. These maps reveal which genes are actively controlling others across different cell types in the brain.
To accomplish this, the researchers created a powerful new AI-based system called SIGNET. Unlike traditional tools that only detect genes that appear to move together, it is designed to uncover true causal (因果的) connections. Using this approach, the team identified important biological pathways that may contribute to memory loss and the gradual breakdown of brain tissue.
“Different types of brain cells play distinct roles in Alzheimer’s disease, but how they interact at the molecular level has remained unclear,” said Min Zhang. “Our work provides cell type-specific maps of gene regulation in the Alzheimer’s brain, shifting the field from observing correlations to uncovering the causal mechanisms that actively drive disease progression.”
To build these exhaustive maps, the team analyzed single-cell molecular data from brain samples donated by 272 participants. SIGNET was designed as a scalable, high-performance computing system that combines single-cell RNA sequencing (测序) with whole-genome sequencing data.
Using this method, they constructed causal gene regulatory networks for six major brain cell types. This made it possible to determine which genes are likely directing the activity of others, something conventional correlation-based methods cannot reliably complete.
“Our approach takes advantage of information encoded (编码) in DNA to enable the identification of true causal relationships between genes in the brain,” said Dabao Zhang, co-corresponding author and professor of epidemiology.
The researchers found that the most significant gene disturbances occur in excitatory neurons — the nerve cells that send activating signals — where nearly 6,000 cause-and-effect interactions revealed extensive genetic rewiring as Alzheimer’s progresses.
The team also identified hundreds of “hub genes” that function as central regulators, influencing many other genes and likely playing an important role in harmful changes in the brain. These hub genes could become valuable targets for earlier diagnosis and future treatment.
32. What is the key advantage of SIGNET compared to traditional methods
A．It focuses on identifying moving genes.
B．It can analyze data from lots of brain samples.
C．It can reveal true cause-and-effect gene relationships.
D．It tells RNA sequencing from whole-genome sequencing.
33. What does the underlined word “exhaustive” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Detailed.
B．Rough.
C．Scientific.
D．Official.
34. How did the researchers find true causal relationships between brain genes
A．By using a traditional computer system.
B．By employing DNA-encoded data.
C．By detecting six major brain cell types.
D．By interpreting nerve cells signals.
35. What can we know from the last paragraph
A．Principles of gene function.
B．The severity of the brain diseases.
C．The role of gene changes.
D．Potential application of the “hub genes”.
三、七选五
As a child growing up there are many different paths available to navigate one’s way through adolescence into adulthood. I was fortunate to have had the guidance of my father, who had many hobbies in his life. 36___ He loved talking about them to anyone who would listen.
37___ I was always looking for pennies — whether given as change or picked up off the ground — and checking to see if they were “Wheaties”, pennies made from 1909 to 1958. Some Lincoln Wheat Cents were quite valuable, but for me, the real joy was the search itself.
My father passed away last week. Although he will be missed, there is no sadness in his passing. He lived nearly 97 years of a full and meaningful life. During his final moments, I whispered in his ear that I needed a sign after he left us. 38___
The next day, my sister and I were going through his old clothes when something fell out and hit the floor — it was a 1928 Wheat penny. There was no way to know how long it had been there. Some might call it a coincidence. 39___ The fact that it was also a Wheat penny proved what I already knew — it was him. It could have easily been put aside with the clothes, but it found its way to me.
Later, I was talking to my neighbor and told him the story. 40___ However, a few days later, he came over with a bag of pennies he had. Inside it, he found two more 1928 Wheat pennies — one for each of my sisters. Our father is no longer with us, but he is still here.
A．He passed the habit on to me.
B．I figured he wouldn’t think any more of it.
C．To me, it was my father handing me the coin.
D．Old coins carried the quiet weight of the past.
E．Collecting coins was one of his greatest interests.
F．It specifically involved a 1928 coin — the year he was born.
G．His soft words and warm hands supported me through my youth.
四、完形填空
I was in the fourth year of my Ph. D. in tumor immunology (肿瘤免疫学) when I gave a talk at an international conference.

But near the end, I said something I had not 42___. “I’m not only a researcher, but also a(n) 43___ of childhood leukemia (白血病).” The moment the words left my mouth, I felt I crossed a(n) 44___ professional line I had spent years trying not to approach.
My 45___ with leukemia began when I was 3 years old. My earliest 46___ are not of classrooms or playgrounds, but of hospital rooms and seemingly 47___ tiredness.
With treatments, I eventually 48___. Yet when I entered graduate school, I did not tell anyone about my 49___. I thought professionalism meant keeping my 50___ life separate from my scientific one. When conversations 51___ childhood, illness, or what had brought us to cancer research, I learned to redirect 52___ or stay quiet. I worried disclosure might affect how I was seen.
In the lab, I felt capable. Outside it, I often felt 53___. I sometimes thought about lying in a hospital bed, dependent on treatments developed by researchers I would never meet, who had chosen to dedicate their life to 54___ diseases like mine.
Later, after I became more used to 55___ my story, a young patient told me hearing my story made a scientific career feel imaginable.

67. 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。
The bus broke down on the mountain road, 20 kilometers from the nearest town. Outside, snow fell heavily, covering the ground in white. Inside, 12 passengers sat in panic — city people, unprepared for mountain weather. I was seventeen, traveling alone to visit my grandmother in the hospital, carrying her old locket (盒式项链坠) that she’d asked me to bring — her most treasured possession, containing photos of her and my late grandfather. My phone showed no signal.
The driver tried the engine. Nothing. He checked the fuel, the battery. “It’s dead,” he announced. “We wait for rescue.”
Ten minutes passed. The wind grew stronger. People wrapped themselves in coats. An elderly woman shivered violently. A mother tried to keep her crying baby warm. Obviously, we needed shelter.
Then the man in the back row stood up. “I’m Tom,” he said. “I live three kilometers up the road. Follow me.” He was about fifty, rough hands, work clothes, a weathered face. Some refused, afraid of a stranger. But the elderly woman stood. “I’d rather choose to trust than freeze here,” she said. “I’ll go.”
We walked in a line, holding hands, Tom leading with a flashlight. The snow reached our knees. He stopped to help those who’d fallen, carrying the elderly woman on his back. His house was small — a single room with a wood stove, but warm. The driver immediately spotted a phone on the wall and called the rescue station. Then Tom made tea and shared his bread and dried meat.
“Why help us ” someone asked. He pointed to a photo — a young woman, smiling. “My daughter. She was helped once by strangers in a storm. She said the world runs on kindness.”
Hours later, the rescue team arrived with a bus, its lights flashing. As we prepared to board, I reached into my pocket — the locket was gone. I panicked. I couldn’t face my grandmother’s disappointed eyes. “I have to go back. It must be in Tom’s house.”
注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右;(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I ran through the snow toward his door, the locket heavy on my mind.

第一节 书信写作
Dear Editor,
Last week we had a heated discussion on whether AI-generated paintings qualify as real art.
Opinions vary among students. Some students hold the view that AI works are not real art, for they are produced by algorithms instead of human emotions and creativity. However, others argue that AI paintings are new forms of art, which show unique artistic beauty and innovation.
Personally, I think AI art is a new artistic expression. It combines technology and art, enriching the diversity of art forms. We should embrace and appreciate this new type of art.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写
I ran through the snow toward his door, the locket heavy on my mind. The freezing wind stung my cheeks as I hurried forward, praying the precious locket was still there. Tom was surprised to see me return and immediately let me in. I explained my anxiety and told him the locket was my grandmother’s most valuable treasure. He comforted me patiently and helped me search every corner of the house carefully. Finally, he spotted the small locket lying under the wooden chair where I had sat earlier. Relief flooded my heart the moment I saw it.
The rescue bus waited, headlights cutting through the darkness. I held the locket tightly in my hand and thanked Tom repeatedly for his kindness. He just smiled and said passing on kindness was the best reward. I boarded the bus reluctantly, waving goodbye to the warm-hearted villager. That snowy day taught me a precious lesson. True kindness lies in selfless dedication. From then on, I made up my mind to follow Tom’s example and spread warmth and kindness to every person I meet.
