Climate change could have large impacts on food production across the world. Rising temperatures might boost
crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit
from more CO in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline

change.
A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing
both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat.
These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of
course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially
those that are most food-insecure cannot adapt to climate change this is still a major problem. So there is more we
can do in the future.
21. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour?
A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. HOW. D. WHEN.22. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties?
A. Rice. B. Corn. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat.
23. What should be done in the future?
A. To adopt the three methods. B. To help the farmers in need.
C. To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions.

My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers.
It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like
Champak and Archie. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this
changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read.
Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I regarded diving into all-text novels as a formidable
undertaking. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a
graphic（绘画的） novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex
narratives through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. Growing older, I found myself graduating to graphic
novels from childish comic books. They deal with serious topics in a more engaging manner and literally show me
what was going on.
Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. While I was impressed by
the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his novel, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize
and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit first. Thanks to Charles Dixon,
I had a picture of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand J.R.R. Tolkien’s
version.
From black and white strips to illustrated graphic novels, this transformation has come a long way. While my
romance with books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for illustrated novels is more substantial and here to
stay.
24. What can we learn about the author as a little kid?
A. He mined newspapers for knowledge. B. Comics struck him as shallow.
C. He cared little for book categories. D. Comics were his main reading joy.
25. What does the underlined word “formidable” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Discouraging. B. Rewarding.
C. Entertaining. D. Troublesome.
26. What can be inferred about Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit?
A. It contains rich visual material. B. It presents a complicated plot.C. It focuses on the latest news. D. It shapes Tolkien’s writing style.
27. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Welcome to the World of Literature B. Can’t Get Enough of Graphic Novels
C. Let Comic Books Shape Who I Am D. Find Myself through Reading Novels

Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (2型糖尿病) for
a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a
diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist
appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.
His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called
“RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina (视网膜). Within
minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy.
This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the
community.
The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images
previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease
with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients
and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They
don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that
human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing
preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully
screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it
has accurately flagged hundreds of at-risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful
impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand
globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
28. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the AI program was introduced?
A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease.
B. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment.D. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated.
29. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text?
A. It replaces the need for human doctors.
B. It provides immediate treatment for patients.
C. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods.
.
D It offers quick and accurate screening in communities.
30. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”?
A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They treat complex diseases.
C. They free experts for complexities. D. They work without specialists.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
.
A How is AI Transforming Eye Care? B. Is AI the Doctors’ Newest Assistant?
C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors?
D
For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can
plants, without eyes, grow toward light? While animals use eyes to detect the direction of light, plants seem to have
no such organ. So how do they do it?
Early Greek thinkers believed plants could sense and react to their environment — almost like animals. But
Aristotle later argued that plants were passive, unable to perceive or respond to the world around them. His view
influenced Western thought for centuries.
However, a team of European researchers has now uncovered the secret. They focused on Arabidopsis, a small
weed commonly used in plant genetics. Using advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, the
scientists measured how light passes through the plant’s stem. Their results, published in a recent study, showed that
the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the tissue.
Once researcher noted, “It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle differences in
light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light’s direction accurately.
In other words, the plant doesn’t need eyes. Instead, it uses its entire body to sense light. This clever mechanism
lets seedlings “see” where the light is coming from and adjust their growth toward it.
The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive. It turns
out that plants have evolved a sophisticated way to perceive their environment — without the need for complex
organs like eyes. They are far more active and adaptive than we once thought.
This research opens new questions for plant biologists. How are these air channels formed? How exactly do
plants process the light information? Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plantsinteract with the world — and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics.
32. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a puzzle.
C. By stating a phenomenon. D. By quoting a philosopher.
33. What is the key finding of the European researchers’ study?
A. Plant cells contain special proteins that respond to light.
B. Arabidopsis has a unique genetic structure for light sensing.
C. Light intensity varies significantly in different plant tissues.
D. Plants use air channels as tiny lenses to detect light direction.
34. What is the significance of the research findings?
A. They explain the formation of air channels. B. They reveal plants’ passive growth pattern.
C. They challenge traditional views of plants. D. They confirm Aristotle’s theory about plants.
35. What might be the future impact of this research?
A. Faster plant growth. B. Better light sensors.
C. Stronger leaf formation. D. More robot production.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image —
how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose.
____36____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly
normal.
____37____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about
your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the
way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type.
For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal.
Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising,
or even risky plastic surgeries. ___38___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate
other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality.
To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are
always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to
makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____39_____
Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself withpositive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism.
____40____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with
your body.
.
A Many factors shape your body image.
B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction.
C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart.
D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword.
E. Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else.
F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality.
G. This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths.

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。
In a new school filled with unfamiliar faces, Charlie felt like a fish out of water. The lively chatter of students
around him only fueled his loneliness. Every day, he walked through the hallways feeling invisible and trapped in
uncertainty. To escape this loneliness, Charlie turned to video games, where he became a hero battling monsters and
saving kingdoms. In this digital world, he felt powerful and important, unlike his quiet life at school.
Ms. Rita, his literature teacher, noticed the quiet boy at the back of the classroom, often lost in his thoughts. She
had a gift for connecting with her students, always offering kind words or warm smiles. Although she encouraged
Charlie to share his feelings, he hid his struggles, preferring the company of imaginary friends in his games, where
he found the appreciation that was missing in his real life.
Recently, Charlie became hooked on a new game. One Sunday evening, he immersed himself in its colorful
world, ignoring his mother’s reminders to sleep. Excited by his adventures, he remained awake, thinking about
strategies, which left him anxious and tired for school.
The next day, unable to resist the temptation, Charlie secretly packed his gaming machine in his backpack. In
Ms. Rita’s class, his heart raced, not from the lesson on poetry, but from the thought of playing during breaks. While
other students engaged in discussions about finding something valuable in life, Charlie’s mind was focused on the
game hidden in his bag.
When the discussion opened up, he took the chance to peek at his gaming machine. As he powered it on, the
screen flashed with new quests, and he lost track of his surroundings. Unfortunately, just as he was concentrating, the
gaming machine slipped from his hands and crashed to the floor with a loud sound. Silence enveloped the classroom,
and all eyes turned towards him, the weight of anxiety and tension heavy in the air.
