Ed Jackson’s team were trying to climb to the top of a Himalayan Mountain. However, weeks after they set
off, they were stranded (滞留) there overnight without water, food or tents at a temperature of about-30℃. They
took turns to keep each other awake in case they fell asleep and did not wake up again.
Actually, that night on the mountain top was not the first time that Jackson had been close to death. Five years
ago, while still a professional rugby player, Jackson broke his neck in a challenge, which nearly killed him. Jackson
was told by doctors that he was likely to face life in a wheelchair. He was forced to retire from playing rugby.
Luckily, Jackson managed to discard his wheelchair six months after the accident. To mark the first
anniversary of his accident, Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in
Wales; even though he was still using two crutches (拐杖) then. He tried to climb many higher mountains after that.
Four years later, he found himself in the Himalayas.
The challenges that Jackson faced in the mountains have had a great impact on his recovery both physically
and mentally. Jackson realized that others might benefit, too. So he started the charity Millimeters to Mountains
(M2M) with his wife Leis and his friend Oily Barkley. It takes beneficiaries (受益人) who have suffered physical
or psychological injuries in challenges around the world, allowing them to access the healing power of nature.
Jackson says, “I once lost hope in life because of my bad condition, thinking there was nothing I could do. But
hopefully what I’m doing, what we’re doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give
anyone the hope that they can turn their life around, no matter how discouraging it might seem at that moment.”
4. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. Jackson was tired of ball games.
B. Jackson was no stranger to suffering in life.
C. Jackson was well respected for his survival skills.
D. Jackson was advised to do exercise by his doctors.
5. What does the underlined wore “discard” probably mean in the third paragraph?
A. Tear apart. B. Rely on. C. Give up. D. Carry through
6. Why did Jackson start M2M?A. To educate sports lovers. B. To raise money for the disabled.
C. To encourage safe mountain climbing. D. To help people with similar experiences.
7. What kind of person is Jackson probably?
A. Adventurous and inspiring. B. Creative and aggressive.
C. Enthusiastic and independent. D. Responsible and humorous.

As ice sheets melted, they often left behind landscapes that typically take many years to become habitable for
vegetation and wildlife. However, recent research has discovered that in just three years, these poor areas can be
brought back to life by South American camelids (美洲鸵).
By the foot of Peru’s Uruashraju glacier, researchers partnered with local farmers to herd camelids on four
plots. For three days a month from 2019 to 2022, the camelids grazed (吃草)the plots. By the end of that time, the
otherwise dry and easily destroyed soil stabilized, grew richer in nutrients and supported 57 percent more plant
cover than before. Such an ancestral Andean practice of camelids herding could potentially cushion the crops,
animals and livelihoods of local communities from the impacts of climate change.
As is the case worldwide, glaciers are disappearing in Peru’s Cordillera Blanca mountains at an astonishing
rate. And as the ice melts, nearby ecosystems lose access to summertime supplies of freshwater and sometimes
encounter harmful acidic minerals in rocks once covered by the glaciers. Camelids may help counter some of these
effects. Their transformation of the land could reduce rock weathering, thus limiting the acidic runoff that can
poison farmers’ crops.
The idea that grass-eating animals grazing may positively impact a landscape is not new. Nor is rewilding, the
push to reintroduce key species to their native ecosystems, unique to the Cordillera Blanca mountains. In Finland,
for example, the Indigenous Sami are working to reintroduce reindeer in deforested land. And a group in Spain
hopes one day to lift the wild cattle known as the auroch out of extinction, putting it to use in grazing.
But the size and speed of the changes the camelids helped bring about surprised the researchers. “Putting
nutrients over the soil can produce similar effects on plant growth,” says ecologist Kelsey Reider of James Madison
University, but “the animals themselves are doing a lot.” For one, animal waste is special. For another, the camelids
weed out dominant plants, making space for new species.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Results of camelids herding. B. Impacts of climate change.
C. Ancestral Andean practices. D. Partnership with local farmers.
9. What might be a consequence of glaciers’ melting?A. Increased acidic runoff. B. Reduced rock weathering.
C. Decline in summer rainfall. D. Shortage of mineral resources.
10. Why are “the reindeer” and “the auroch” mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To clarify a potential problem. B. To explain a natural phenomenon.
C. To compare different rewilding project. D. To justify a conservation effort.
11. What is Kelsey Reider’s attitude towards camelids herding?
A. Disapproving. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.

Artificial intelligence (AI) may be the biggest winner of this year’s Nobel Prize. AI pioneers were recognized
with the Nobel Prize in physics, while the Nobel Prize in chemistry also had AI-related contributions.
US scientist John Hopfield and British-Canadian Geoffrey Hinton won the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics for
discoveries and inventions in machine learning that paved the way for the AI boom, according to Reuters.
In 1982, Hopfield created a network that helps computers store and recall patterns, similar to how our brains
remember things. A year later, Hinton developed the Boltzmann machine, which allows computers to learn
independently to recognize patterns in data, such as identifying specific objects in images.
As for the Nobel Prize in chemistry, US scientists David Baker and John Jumper, along with British computer
scientist Demis Hassabis, won the prize. Half the prize was awarded to Baker “for computational protein design”
while the other half was shared by Jumper and Hassabis for their development of the AI model AlphaFold2.
Scientists struggled for decades to predict how proteins fold into their 3D shapes that determine their function.
However AlphaFold2, developed by AI research laboratory DeepMind, can accurately predict the 3D structures of
nearly all known proteins, showing great potential in the field of drug development.
“AI can be a powerful tool for solving problems that involve deriving (获得) outputs from inputs, showing its
great potential in scientific research,” Professor Yang Maojun from Tsinghua University told Science and
Technology Daily.
In his view, AI applications are not limited to fields like biology, chemistry or physics. Their scope mainly
depends on how well problems from the real world can be abstracted into a form that AI can learn and process, and
whether there is sufficient real-world data to train and build deep learning networks.
AI’s importance in scientific research is increasingly evident (明显的). Yang believes that scientists should
actively embrace this trend while remaining aware of AI’s limitations. Hinton expressed a similar concern at the
Nobel press conference. “We also have to worry about a number of possible bad consequences, particularly the
threat of these things getting out of control,” he said “Humans carry the responsibility for using this newtechnology in a safe and ethical way, for the greatest benefit of humankind,” said Ellen Moons, chair of the Nobel
Committee for Physics.
12. What was John Hopfield recognized for in the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics?
A. Inventing the Boltzmann machine. B. Creating AI models for image analysis.
C. Developing a network for pattern storage. D. Designing a new type of computer processor.
13. What is the significance of AlphaFold2?
A. It can synthesize (合成) new proteins for drug use.
B. It can forecast protein folding patterns.
C. It can analyze the genetic sequences (顺序) of proteins.
D. It can identify proteins related to diseases
14. According to Yang Maojun, what is one factor that limits the scope of Al applications?
A. The availability of real-world data.
B. The accuracy of AI training data.
C. The level of human involvement in AI learning.
D. The effectiveness of deep learning algorithms (算法).
15. What concern did Hinton raise about AI during the Nobel press conference?
A. The risk of AI becoming unmanageable.
B. The potential for AI to replace human creativity
C. The slow adoption of AI in scientific research.
D. The lack of ethical guidelines for AI development.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A

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。
My love for dance began when I was very young and I would dream to be a star dancer from time to time.
With the drama festival approaching, the school’s drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜)
for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And of course I was the first one to sign up.
As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it. The power. The future. I knew that someday
when dancers’ magazines wrote about me, they would say this moment was when my rise to a star began.
My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the
princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too. My performance was more genuine because of my
pain. I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn’t on stage, so I approached Mr. Ellison, the drama club
advisor. He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow.“ Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost
British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s. I was so sure that Mr. Ellison would cast me as a princess.
The next morning, I went to read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned from
One to Twelve, but none by me. At the bottom of the casting list, my name finally appeared. My role was a really
small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed. Mr.
Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation!.
I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play
was important. Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears. Mr. Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged
me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练).
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 day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal.

Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal, still feeling disheartened. As we began, I watched the
princesses dance gracefully, a twinge of jealousy stirring within me. But then, as I started to act out my role,
something shifted. Mr. Ellison’s words echoed in my mind, “Every role is important.” Gradually, I immersed
myself in the character of the old woman. My lines flowed naturally, and I found a newfound respect for my role.
To my surprise, my performance drew applause from my peers. This small role, I realized, could be a powerful one.
