On 16 August 2023, Samar Farooqui, an extreme-adventure athlete had leapt off a 530-metre cliff in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. His life was on the line. Luckily, he was saved by the rescuers and rushed to the hospital.
As doctors in Switzerland and India reconstructed his body, Farooqui’s mind was unconscious. Emotionally, he was filled with anxiety and scare about the future. One doctor told him he would never again do a pull-up. The thought of having to give up the outdoors and his passion tore him apart.
When he returned to Mumbai a month later, his mother had to attend to him constantly. One night, he woke to find her resting at the foot of his bed. The moment broke him.
Depression crept in quietly, and Farooqui realized he needed to rebuild himself. He began by watching the accident footage (片段). Slide by slide, he analyzed the jump. The first few viewings were unbearable. But gradually, revisiting the painful experience became the cure, understanding replacing fear and acceptance replacing avoidance.
When further surgeries required more immobility, he prepared mentally. If his body could not move, his mind would. He began writing, expressed gratitude and leaned on his support system — his family, his girlfriend, friends. “Your victories are never your own,” he says. “They belong to your support system. I’m not sure what would have happened if I had kept it all bottled up.”
By early last year, Farooqui was back on his feet. There were still some physical hurdles to cross, but he chose to move forward. He returned to slacklining (走绳), rediscovering balance and relearning his body’s abilities, no longer taking them for granted. The scars that once unsettled him became the witness of survival. Today, another goal stirs in him: setting the record for the highest slackline walk in the world, hung between two hot-air balloons.
4. How did Farooqui feel when he was told the truth by a doctor
A．Relieved to know it.
B．Determined to prove himself.
C．Heartbroken for having to stop his career.
D．Painful with the doctor’s wrong judgement.
5. Why did Farooqui choose to watch the accident footage repeatedly
A．To feel the unbearable pain again.
B．To face the reality and overcome fear.
C．To find out the causes of his accident.
D．To learn from his mistakes and start a new career.
6. What can we infer from Farooqui’s preparations for his further operations
A．He hid his feelings in the bottles.
B．He turned to his doctors for support.
C．He changed his career path to writing.
D．He rebuilt his mentality in different ways.
7. Which of the following can best describe Farooqui
A．Grateful and strong-willed.
B．Generous and courageous.
C．Passionate and creative.
D．Considerate and helpful.
C
In recent decades, pancreatic cancer, one of the most difficult-to-treat diseases, remains deadly with rising global cases. However, on May 31 at a major Chicago cancer meeting, Eileen O’Reilly, principal researcher at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, showed people with advanced pancreatic cancer taking an experimental daily pill lived nearly twice longer than those receiving chemotherapy infusions (化疗).
About 70% of people with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed (诊断) at an advanced stage for lack of routine screening and hidden symptoms, like a continuous sore back. Standard treatment involves chemotherapy, but most patients survive only three to six months on average.
More than 90% of pancreatic cancers are driven by mutations (突变) in the KRAS gene, which encodes the K-Ras protein. Mutations keep the protein locked in an active state, causing cancer cells to divide uncontrollably. Eileen O’Reilly and her colleagues wondered if a drug called daraxonrasib could weaken its signals and slow the growth of cancer cells. They recruited 500 patients from the US, Europe and Asia, all unresponsive to initial chemotherapy, dividing them into two groups: one took the drug daily, the other continued chemotherapy.
In the process, only 1% stopped the drug due to side effects, such as spots, while 11% stopped chemotherapy due to negative events like tiredness. The researchers found that the participants in the daraxonrasib group went on to survive for 13.2 months, on average, compared with 6.7 months in the chemotherapy group. What’s more, the convenient oral pill has far fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy.
Experts call it the first major breakthrough in decades for advanced pancreatic cancer. “It’s a transformative treatment,” says Pilar Acedo, a senior researcher on pancreatic cancer at University College London. “It gives you double the time to enjoy your life, be with your family and do the things you have always wanted to do.”
8. Why are most pancreatic cancer patients diagnosed late
A．They ignore early warning signs.
B．They keep their symptoms secret.
C．They lack screening and obvious symptoms.
D．They have wide access to routine screening.
9. What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Daraxonrasib is developed to fix the mutated KRAS gene.
B．The 500 patients had never received chemotherapy before.
C．KRAS gene mutations result in uncontrolled cancer cell division.
D．Participants in the drug group took daraxonrasib every other day.
10. What is the advantage of the drug daraxonrasib
A．It requires regular visits to the hospital.
B．It works well for patients in early stages.
C．It completely cures advanced pancreatic cancer.
D．It extends survival and causes fewer side effects.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．KRAS Gene Mutation: A New Hope for Cancer Cure.
B．Pancreatic Cancer: Easy to Be Found at Advanced Stage.
C．Chemotherapy: The Standard Treatment for Advanced Cancer.
D．Transformative Treatment: A New Drug Doubles Survival Time.
D
Thousands of cooler-sized food-delivery robots are now walking in American streets. The machines map their environments using the same cameras and sensors as self-driving cars. Artificial intelligence then helps them decide how to cross the road, avoid runners and climb snowbanks. They are among the most noticeable examples of AI taking human jobs.
When they arrive at a restaurant, a worker opens one up, pops in the order, and they’re on their way. A human remotely controls each self-driving robot, which travels up to 5 mph. Cameras and sensors on each unit allow them to move around walkers and other blocks, but some can get stuck, like a robot, named “Scott,” who went off the sidewalk into the mud.
The robots promise efficiency. “Moving a two-pound burrito in a two-tonne car doesn’t make a lot of sense,” says Ali Kashani, the boss of Serve. Roughly a quarter of American car trips, he notes, are “last-mile” tasks and shopping runs. These journeys not only clog (堵塞) streets but are pricey: Why should moving a product from Chinatown cost $10 when shipping it from China might cost $2 Small robots transporting more takeaways could also help lift local economies. And a robot is 100 times more energy-efficient than a motorcycle.
The only problem People seem to hate them. Social-media videos of walkers assaulting them have spread quickly. Some seem to be shaking them down for pad thai; others are releasing anger by tipping the poor things over. This dislike for robots is not new — especially in America. A recent survey by Pew Research Centre has found that Americans are far more concerned about AI interrupting on daily life than people in other countries.
To ease the negative feelings, companies have given machines names and puppy-dog eyes. They train the robots to be “polite” and “delightful” — to slow down near walkers and turn their wheels to signal where they intend to go before taking off. They aim to broaden their roles, like picking up medicines and doing shopping returns. To do so the robots will have to continue to deal with the real world.
12. What do robots use to map their surroundings
A．The road conditions.
B．Digital tools.
C．Mixed sounds.
D．Cameras and sensors.
13. What is Ali Kashani’s attitude towards these robots
A．Objective.
B．Favourable.
C．Critical.
D．Indifferent.
14. What does the underlined word “assaulting” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Attacking.
B．Greeting.
C．Appreciating.
D．Repairing.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．The future development of robots.
B．Robots are faced with few difficulties.
C．Companies’ concerns about the current state of robots.
D．Companies’ efforts to promote acceptance of these robots.

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。续写词数应为150左右；请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Meera was ten years old and a couple of years older than Mayur, her brother. Though they loved each other very much, sometimes quarrels and arguments were part of their daily routine. We can say that in their household, fights were as common as a morning tea.
Most of their fights started as tiny quarrels and then became major and bigger.
When they agreed on something, it was good and peaceful around the home.
When they didn’t, their loud voices could be heard even from outside their house. “Mine!” and “Never!” echoed (回荡) through the room. Sometimes, they asked their father for judgement.
One evening, when they returned from their school, the fresh smell of food floated through the air.
Mayur sniffed the air and said, “Wow! Mom has prepared something nice!”
Meera shouted, “Stop thinking about food all the time and prepare for your maths test tomorrow.”
Mayur replied, “I am all prepared. I just need some revision.”
Meera laughed at him just as their mother entered the room and placed a plate of cookies on the dining table.
Meera and Mayur said at once, “Chocolate cookies!”
“I prepared these cookies today,” their mother said proudly. “Now let me know how they taste.”
Mayur ran to the table, but a strict stare from his mother made him run to his room to change his uniform and freshen up first. Meera giggled while Mayur glared at her. After some time, they ate a few cookies with hot milk.
“It’s yummy!” said both of them. A couple of days later, Mayur asked their mother,” Are there any cookies left ”
“Only two cookies are left,” their mother said. “One for you and another for Meera.”
Meera had gone out to play, so Mayur ate his cookie happily.
Later that evening, Meera went to get her cookie but found the jar empty.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reminded by their father, Meera then noticed something strange — tiny muddy footprints near the back door.

Later that evening, Meera went to get her cookie but found the jar empty. She flew into anger and ran straight to Mayur, shouting that he had eaten her cookie without permission. Mayur argued fiercely that he only ate his own share and refused to admit it. Their quarrel grew louder and drew their father’s attention. Father calmed them down and said there must be some misunderstanding instead of blaming each other blindly. He asked Meera to look around carefully for clues.
Reminded by their father, Meera then noticed something strange — tiny muddy footprints near the back door. Following the footprints, they spotted a stray cat hiding behind the cupboard with cookie crumbs around its mouth. It turned out the cat stole the cookie while Meera was out. Meera felt ashamed of her rude words and apologized to Mayur. They made peace and decided to share snacks together from then on.
