In 1973, the artist Marc Chagall made an emotional return to Russian soil. He was 85 years old and hadn’t seen the country of his birth for more than half a century.
“I feel. more muscular now,” he said shortly after the trip was over. “It did me good. It refreshed me for my work.” The remarkable thing, however, is that despite his advanced age, Chagall never needed much refreshing. He continued working till his dying day, aged 97.
It was in his later years that his use of intense colour notably advanced. There were two obvious catalysts (催化剂) for this. One was Chagall’s move in 1949 from Paris to the Cote d’Azur, where the colorful landscape, with its green seas and purple fields, left their mark. The other one was Chagall’s work designing stained-glass windows (彩色玻璃). Chagall’s efforts in stained glass undoubtedly contributed to his oil-painting practice. The pure passages of yellow, green, orange, purple and white that divide the canvas (画布) of L’ervol du peintre into three are a fine example.
Dallmayr suggests in his book Marc Chagall: The Artist as Peacemaker (2020) that after living through two world wars, as well as the horror of the Holocaust, Chagall developed an “artistic vision of peace”. His work was characterised by a sense of harmony and happiness.
As one of the world’s greatest artists, he was never short of speaking invitations, and in a lecture in 1959 he said that “love should be the basis of true politics—it could bring about real peace”.
It’s important to stress that Chagall was an artist, not a politician—but the speeches from his latter years do shed a certain light on his work from that time.
He never stopped innovating, whether in painting or in his embrace and command of new media entirely. All the while, his art was marked by its warmth, wit and—perhaps especially in later life—the aim of giving peace a chance.
4. How did Marc Chagall feel about the trip to Russia?
A. Excited. B. Relieved. C. Exhausted. D. Bored.
5. Why is Marc Chagall’s painting L’envol du peintre mentioned?
A. To show his extraordinary understanding of intense colors
B. To display his application of different colors in the oil painting
C. To demonstrate the impact of designing stained glass on his oil painting
D. To illustrate the exceptional division of the canvas in oil painting practice
6. According to the passage, what words can best describe Marc Chagall?
A. Creative and peace-loving. B. Passionate and emotional.
C. Considerate and hardworking. D. Friendly and imaginative.
7. According to the passage, which of the following influences the style of his works?
A. His advanced age. B. His political view.
C. His marriage life. D. His school education.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了著名的艺术家马克·夏加尔。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““I feel more muscular now,” he said shortly after the trip was over. “It did me good. It refreshed me for my work.” (“我现在感觉肌肉发达了”，他在旅行结束后不久说。“这对我有好处。它让我的工作焕然一新。”)”可知，马克·夏加尔认为这次俄罗斯之行是令人激动的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Chagall’s efforts in stained glass undoubtedly contributed to his oil-painting practice. The pure passages of yellow, green, orange, purple and white that divide the canvas (画布) of L’ervol du peintre into three are a fine example. (夏加尔在彩色玻璃方面的努力无疑有助于他的油画实践。黄色、绿色、橙色、紫色和白色的纯粹段落将L'envol du peintre的画布分为三部分，就是一个很好的例子。)”可知提到马克·夏加尔的画作《L’ervol du peintre》是为了展示彩色玻璃设计对他的油画的影响。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Dallmayr suggests in his book Marc Chagall: The Artist as Peacemaker (2020) that after living through two world wars, as well as the horror of the Holocaust, Chagall developed an “artistic vision of peace”. His work was characterised by a sense of harmony and happiness. (达尔迈尔在其著作《马克•夏加尔：和平缔造者的艺术家》(Marc Chagall: The Artist as Peacemaker, 2020）中表示，在经历了两次世界大战以及大屠杀的恐怖之后，夏加尔形成了“和平的艺术愿景”。他的作品以和谐和幸福感为特征。)” 以及最后一段“He never stopped innovating, whether in painting or in his embrace and command of new media entirely. All the while, his art was marked by its warmth, wit and-perhaps especially in later life the aim of giving peace a chance. (无论是在绘画方面，还是在对新媒体的拥抱和掌控方面，他从未停止过创新。一直以来，他的艺术都以其温暖、智慧为标志，也许尤其是在后来的生活中，他的目的是给和平一个机会。）”可知马克•夏加尔是一个富有创造力，热爱和平的人。故选A项。

C
Genetic information is important because it stores, processes and transmits biological data from generation to generation. Some scientists even assume that knowing genetic information itself matters.
For example, in quantum mechanics (量子力学), there is a popular theory known as the “observer effect”, which states that the act of observing a phenomenon (usually by making some kind of measurement) necessarily changes that phenomenon. In other words, just by being there and having an interest in the outcome, we affect that outcome.
While the explanations behind the observer’s influence in quantum mechanics come down to the measuring instrument and not the observer’s conscious mind, we also see strong evidence for the “placebo effect” in medicine: a patient’s condition can improve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment. And those beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is not actually receiving that treatment or if the treatment doesn’t actually work.
If our minds truly do have power over our surroundings and our bodies, what does having the genetic information do to us? Does simply knowing more about our own physiology (生理机能) change it? A recent study on exercise and obesity suggests that the answer is yes.
Those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity produced 2.5 times more of the fullness hormone and claimed to feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had one week prior. Those who were told they had lower endurance because of their genes did worse on their physical test than they had before receiving that information: they showed lower lung capacity and quit sooner.
Thus, having information about our genetic risk can lead to improvements in our physiology (as was true for the eaters of the study), but it can also put us at a disadvantage (as with the poor exercise performers). So we certainly need to be cautious of incorrect genetic information. But as the Stanford study shows, even if the genetic information we receive is correct, how we receive it is also important.
8. How does the “placebo effect” in medicine work?
A. The patient recovers with the timely treatment.
B. The patient’s condition worsens due to a lack of treatment.
C. The patient’s condition remains unchanged despite their belief.
D. The patient’s condition improves with the belief in the treatment.
9. According to paragraph 5, what happened to those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity?
A. They showed lower lung capacity.
B. They quit their physical test sooner.
C. They needed more food to satisfy their appetite.
D. They felt fuller with more fullness hormone released.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards having genetic information?
A. Positive. B. Objective.
C. Ambiguous. D. Negative.
11. What is the main idea of this article?
A. The great power of the observer’s mind.
B. The influence of knowing genetic information.
C. The amazing application of genetic information.
D. The connection between Quantum Mechanics and Medicine.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了解遗传信息对我们很重要。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While the explanations behind the observer’s influence in quantum mechanics come down to the measuring instrument and not the observer’s conscious mind, we also see strong evidence for the “placebo effect” in medicine: a patient’s condition can improve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment. And those beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is not actually receiving that treatment or if the treatment doesn’t actually work. ( 虽然量子力学对观察者影响背后的解释归结为测量仪器，而不是观察者的意识，但我们也看到了医学上“安慰剂效应”的有力证据：如果病人相信他们正在接受有效的治疗，他们的病情就会好转。即使病人没有接受治疗或者治疗无效，这些有益的效果也会发生。)”可知，医学上的“安慰剂效应”指的是病人如果相信他们正在接受有效的治疗，他们的病情就会好转，故病人的病情随着治疗的信念而改善，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity produced 2.5 times more of the fullness hormone and claimed to feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had one week prior. (那些被告知肥胖遗传风险较低的人产生的饱腹激素是一周前的2.5倍，尽管他们吃了同样的饭，但他们感觉更饱。)”可知，那些被告知肥胖遗传风险较低的人，尽管他们吃了同样的饭，但是他们感到更饱，释放更多的饱腹激素,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“If our minds truly do have power over our surroundings and our bodies, what does having the genetic information do to us? Does simply knowing more about our own physiology (生理机能) change it? A recent study on exercise and obesity suggests that the answer is yes. (如果我们的思想真的能控制我们的环境和我们的身体，那么遗传信息对我们有什么影响呢？仅仅了解我们自己的生理机能就能改变它吗？最近一项关于运动和肥胖的研究表明，答案是肯定的。)”以及最后一段“Thus, having information about our genetic risk can lead to improvements in our physiology (as was true for the eaters of the study), but it can also put us at a disadvantage (as with the poor exercise performers). (因此，了解我们的遗传风险可以改善我们的生理机能(就像研究中的饮食者一样)，但它也会让我们处于不利地位(就像那些锻炼不佳的人一样)。)”可推知，作者对了解遗传信息持积极肯定客观的态度，故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Genetic information is important because it stores, processes and transmits biological data from generation to generation. Some scientists even assume that knowing genetic information itself matters. (遗传信息很重要，因为它储存、处理和传递生物数据，代代相传。一些科学家甚至认为了解遗传信息本身很重要。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要通过举例和相关研究讲述了了解遗传信息对我们的重要性，故选B。
D
On Friday, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed and was taken over by federal regulators, marking one of the largest bank failures since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. California’s banking regulators shut down SVB and effectively gives control of the bank to the FDIC, which created a new entity(实体) to oversee it. With a 40-year history, SVB served many companies, and it played an important role in the technology industry, successfully competing with bigger-name banks.
SVB’s business boomed as tech companies did well during the Covid-19. However, the technology industry recently faced difficulties, and many clients withdrew money. To fulfill these withdrawals, SVB sold part of its bond holdings(持有债券) at a $1.8 billion loss. The Federal Reserve’s(美联储) sharp rise in interest rate also affected bonds and stocks. Then SVB decided it wanted to reduce its bond portfolio(债券投资组合) to avoid further losses.
But that announcement spooked the bank’s clients, who got worried and then proceeded to withdraw even more money from the bank—a textbook definition of a bank run. The bank’s stock price(股价) fell by 60% on Thursday, and as its share price continued to sink overnight. Trading was halted, and the FDIC took over SVB.
While concerns emerged about the banking sector, shares of major banks like J. P. Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America dropped by around 5%. Investors worried that other banks, particularly smaller ones, might experience similar withdrawals. However, by Friday, fears regarding the broader banking sector had eased. Experts argued that SVB’s situation was unusual and should not impact other regional banks.
The FDIC-created entity, Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara, will oversee SVB. Insured deposits(存款), typically up to $250,000, will be accessible by Monday. Uninsured deposits face uncertainty, with the FDIC offering an “advance dividend(提前股息)” and “certificates” accounting for the uninsured funds. The regulator has not clarified what this means for uninsured depositors. Investors will continue monitoring any potential impact on other banks.
12. What do we learn about Silicon Valley Bank?
A. It is the world’s first bank that has failed.
B. It has already been taken over by the FDIC.
C. It failed because of the severe situation during the pandemic.
D. It collapsed as a result of competition with the famous banks.
13. What does the underlined word “spooked” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Calmed. B. Inspired.
C. Panicked. D. Persuaded.
14. What is the direct cause of SVB’s failure?
A. Loss of the bond portfolio.
B The decline of the tech industry.
C. The reduction of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate.
D. Withdrawals from a large number of customers.
15. What can be learned in the passage?
A. All small banks will be impacted sooner or later.
B. The banking industry is facing the biggest challenge.
C. Those who have uninsured deposits will lose everything.
D. SVB’s deposit users are likely to be affected by its collapse.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了硅谷银行（SVB）破产的原因以及所造成影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“California’s banking regulators shut down SVB and effectively gives control of the bank to the FDIC, which created a new entity(实体) to oversee it.(加州银行监管机构关闭了SVB，并将该行的控制权实际上交给了FDIC，FDIC创建了一个新的实体来监管该行。)”可知，硅谷银行已经由FDIC接管了，故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中划线词spooked的后文“who got worried and then proceeded to withdraw even more money from the bank—a textbook definition of a bank run.(他们开始担心，然后开始从银行提取更多的钱——这是教科书上对银行挤兑的定义。)”可知，客户担心，于是从银行提取更多的钱，因为此处划线词spooked与C项“使……恐慌”意思相近，这一声明让客户恐慌起来，因此开始担心，然后从银行提取了更多的钱，故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“SVB’s business boomed as tech companies did well during the Covid-19. However, the technology industry recently faced difficulties, and many clients withdrew money.(随着科技公司在新冠疫情期间表现良好，SVB的业务蓬勃发展。然而，科技行业最近遇到了困难，许多客户撤回了资金。)”可知，硅谷银行失败的直接原因是科技产业的衰落，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On Friday, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed and was taken over by federal regulators, marking one of the largest bank failures since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.(周五，硅谷银行倒闭，被联邦监管机构接管，这是自2008年全球金融危机依赖最大的银行倒闭之一。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了硅谷银行（SVB）破产的原因以及所造成影响，所以B选项“银行业正面临着最大的挑战”符合文意，故选B。

It’s the middle of winter, when daylight is limited and the weather is often miserable. ____16____ So what can be done to lift our spirits?
The shorter days and longer nights can make us feel down, and that can cause us to eat more and exercise less. Some fear loneliness and isolation during the long dark months. Those people who suffer this seasonal mood swing more seriously are described as having seasonal affective disorder — or SAD for short. ____17____
Jenny Scott-Thompson is one person who was diagnosed with SAD. ____18____ As well as going outside during daylight hours, this is believed to help anyone who is affected by the winter gloom.
Although having more light is an obvious cure, antidepressants (抗抑郁药) can help those with more severe depression by artificially increasing the amount of serotonin (血清素) in the brain. But this isn’t suitable for everyone. ____19____ Clinical psychologist Laura Keyes says, “it can be helpful to think about how to adapt your eating and exercise patterns to the change of season.”
____20____ Writing for the BBC Social website, Esther De La Ford asks “What if we explored what winter has to offer us, instead of grieving those things that it is taking away?” She suggests we use this time for rest, reflection, slowing down, stillness and renewal. Maybe this might stop us longing for summer.
A. Many of us can try to just change our mindset.
B. For some of us, this is when the winter blues set in.
C. As advised, she took an active part in social activities.
D. Accepting winter and thinking positively may energize us.
E. As for the treatment, psychologists recommend more social interaction.
F. It’s a type of depression with a seasonal pattern caused by a lack of light.
G. She was advised to take light therapy, which involved sitting in front of a light box.

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。
This new little stepsister is getting on my nerves. She won’t stop talking. What was Dad trying to prove with this family vacation? We can’t instantly become the ideal family. I just became a teenager, and Christina is only 8 years old.
Dad and I finished putting up the large tent. Then I walked back to the car for my backpack, only to knock a pink one to the ground. Before I could pick it up, Christina appeared. “Why’d you throw my stuff on the ground?” she roared.
After lunch, Dad suggested I take Christina to see the sequoia pines (红杉松树), circling on the map where giant sequoias were.
I jammed the map into my pocket and then set off. When I glanced back at Christina, all I saw was a pink cap. I shook my head. Dad and my new stepmom were crazy if they thought we’d instantly bond. I was not ready to be a big brother.
As we walked the trail, the forest canopy (树冠) became thicker, blocking out direct sunlight, making the temperature drop slightly.
“You warm enough?” I asked. She nodded but didn’t look at me. I noticed her hands had got completely covered with the sap (汁液) of a plant. I took a hand wipe from my pack and wiped her hands.
Reaching a small hill, we climbed up it. Sunshine filled the meadow (草地) below. I could see the tops of sequoia pines popping out above the forest on the other side. I pointed them out excitedly to Christina and finally saw a smile light her face.
“Come on, Sean!” She grabbed my hand and pulled me down into the meadow. Then I saw it, sitting on a rock in the middle of the field: a brown-colored bear cub (幼熊). Cute as it seemed, I knew it was dangerous.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I instructed Christina to stay close to me and hold my hand firmly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Keeping a tight hold on her hand, we walked on along the trail marked on our map.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I instructed Christina to stay close to me and hold my hand firmly. “Don’t move suddenly or make any loud noises,” I whispered to her. “We need to stay calm and slowly back away.” Christina nodded, her eyes wide with fear. The bear cub seemed to have no interest in us and continued playing on the rock. We slowly made our way back to the trial, making sure to keep an eye on the cub. Once we were a safe distance away, I let out a sign of relief. “Wow, did you see that?” Christina exclaimed, a smile returning to her face. “That bear cub was so cute!” “Yeah, but we need to remember that they’re still wild animals and can be dangerous,” I reminded her. “We should always keep a safe distance.”
Keeping a tight hold on her hand, we walked on along the trail marked on our map. Christina chattered away, telling me all about her favorite animals and what she wanted to be when she grew up. As we walked, I found myself starting to enjoy her company. Maybe this family vacation wasn’t such a bad idea after all. As we continued on the trial, I made a mental note to be more patient with Christina and try to bond with her more during our time together.

B
In 1973, the artist Marc Chagall made an emotional return to Russian soil. He was 85 years old and hadn’t seen the country of his birth for more than half a century.
“I feel. more muscular now,” he said shortly after the trip was over. “It did me good. It refreshed me for my work.” The remarkable thing, however, is that despite his advanced age, Chagall never needed much refreshing. He continued working till his dying day, aged 97.
It was in his later years that his use of intense colour notably advanced. There were two obvious catalysts (催化剂) for this. One was Chagall’s move in 1949 from Paris to the Cote d’Azur, where the colorful landscape, with its green seas and purple fields, left their mark. The other one was Chagall’s work designing stained-glass windows (彩色玻璃). Chagall’s efforts in stained glass undoubtedly contributed to his oil-painting practice. The pure passages of yellow, green, orange, purple and white that divide the canvas (画布) of L’ervol du peintre into three are a fine example.
Dallmayr suggests in his book Marc Chagall: The Artist as Peacemaker (2020) that after living through two world wars, as well as the horror of the Holocaust, Chagall developed an “artistic vision of peace”. His work was characterised by a sense of harmony and happiness.
As one of the world’s greatest artists, he was never short of speaking invitations, and in a lecture in 1959 he said that “love should be the basis of true politics—it could bring about real peace”.
It’s important to stress that Chagall was an artist, not a politician—but the speeches from his latter years do shed a certain light on his work from that time.
He never stopped innovating, whether in painting or in his embrace and command of new media entirely. All the while, his art was marked by its warmth, wit and—perhaps especially in later life—the aim of giving peace a chance.
4. How did Marc Chagall feel about the trip to Russia?
A. Excited. B. Relieved. C. Exhausted. D. Bored.
5. Why is Marc Chagall’s painting L’envol du peintre mentioned?
A. To show his extraordinary understanding of intense colors
B. To display his application of different colors in the oil painting
C. To demonstrate the impact of designing stained glass on his oil painting
D. To illustrate the exceptional division of the canvas in oil painting practice
6. According to the passage, what words can best describe Marc Chagall?
A. Creative and peace-loving. B. Passionate and emotional.
C. Considerate and hardworking. D. Friendly and imaginative.
7. According to the passage, which of the following influences the style of his works?
A. His advanced age. B. His political view.
C. His marriage life. D. His school education.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了著名的艺术家马克·夏加尔。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““I feel more muscular now,” he said shortly after the trip was over. “It did me good. It refreshed me for my work.” (“我现在感觉肌肉发达了”，他在旅行结束后不久说。“这对我有好处。它让我的工作焕然一新。”)”可知，马克·夏加尔认为这次俄罗斯之行是令人激动的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Chagall’s efforts in stained glass undoubtedly contributed to his oil-painting practice. The pure passages of yellow, green, orange, purple and white that divide the canvas (画布) of L’ervol du peintre into three are a fine example. (夏加尔在彩色玻璃方面的努力无疑有助于他的油画实践。黄色、绿色、橙色、紫色和白色的纯粹段落将L'envol du peintre的画布分为三部分，就是一个很好的例子。)”可知提到马克·夏加尔的画作《L’ervol du peintre》是为了展示彩色玻璃设计对他的油画的影响。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Dallmayr suggests in his book Marc Chagall: The Artist as Peacemaker (2020) that after living through two world wars, as well as the horror of the Holocaust, Chagall developed an “artistic vision of peace”. His work was characterised by a sense of harmony and happiness. (达尔迈尔在其著作《马克•夏加尔：和平缔造者的艺术家》(Marc Chagall: The Artist as Peacemaker, 2020）中表示，在经历了两次世界大战以及大屠杀的恐怖之后，夏加尔形成了“和平的艺术愿景”。他的作品以和谐和幸福感为特征。)” 以及最后一段“He never stopped innovating, whether in painting or in his embrace and command of new media entirely.

Genetic information is important because it stores, processes and transmits biological data from generation to generation. Some scientists even assume that knowing genetic information itself matters.
For example, in quantum mechanics (量子力学), there is a popular theory known as the “observer effect”, which states that the act of observing a phenomenon (usually by making some kind of measurement) necessarily changes that phenomenon. In other words, just by being there and having an interest in the outcome, we affect that outcome.
While the explanations behind the observer’s influence in quantum mechanics come down to the measuring instrument and not the observer’s conscious mind, we also see strong evidence for the “placebo effect” in medicine: a patient’s condition can improve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment. And those beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is not actually receiving that treatment or if the treatment doesn’t actually work.
If our minds truly do have power over our surroundings and our bodies, what does having the genetic information do to us? Does simply knowing more about our own physiology (生理机能) change it? A recent study on exercise and obesity suggests that the answer is yes.
Those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity produced 2.5 times more of the fullness hormone and claimed to feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had one week prior. Those who were told they had lower endurance because of their genes did worse on their physical test than they had before receiving that information: they showed lower lung capacity and quit sooner.
Thus, having information about our genetic risk can lead to improvements in our physiology (as was true for the eaters of the study), but it can also put us at a disadvantage (as with the poor exercise performers). So we certainly need to be cautious of incorrect genetic information. But as the Stanford study shows, even if the genetic information we receive is correct, how we receive it is also important.
8. How does the “placebo effect” in medicine work?
A. The patient recovers with the timely treatment.
B. The patient’s condition worsens due to a lack of treatment.
C. The patient’s condition remains unchanged despite their belief.
D. The patient’s condition improves with the belief in the treatment.
9. According to paragraph 5, what happened to those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity?
A. They showed lower lung capacity.
B. They quit their physical test sooner.
C. They needed more food to satisfy their appetite.
D. They felt fuller with more fullness hormone released.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards having genetic information?
A. Positive. B. Objective.
C. Ambiguous. D. Negative.
11. What is the main idea of this article?
A. The great power of the observer’s mind.
B. The influence of knowing genetic information.
C. The amazing application of genetic information.
D. The connection between Quantum Mechanics and Medicine.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While the explanations behind the observer’s influence in quantum mechanics come down to the measuring instrument and not the observer’s conscious mind, we also see strong evidence for the “placebo effect” in medicine: a patient’s condition can improve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment. And those beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is not actually receiving that treatment or if the treatment doesn’t actually work. ( 虽然量子力学对观察者影响背后的解释归结为测量仪器，而不是观察者的意识，但我们也看到了医学上“安慰剂效应”的有力证据：如果病人相信他们正在接受有效的治疗，他们的病情就会好转。即使病人没有接受治疗或者治疗无效，这些有益的效果也会发生。)”可知，医学上的“安慰剂效应”指的是病人如果相信他们正在接受有效的治疗，他们的病情就会好转，故病人的病情随着治疗的信念而改善，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity produced 2.5 times more of the fullness hormone and claimed to feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had one week prior. (那些被告知肥胖遗传风险较低的人产生的饱腹激素是一周前的2.5倍，尽管他们吃了同样的饭，但他们感觉更饱。)”可知，那些被告知肥胖遗传风险较低的人，尽管他们吃了同样的饭，但是他们感到更饱，释放更多的饱腹激素,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“If our minds truly do have power over our surroundings and our bodies, what does having the genetic information do to us? Does simply knowing more about our own physiology (生理机能) change it? A recent study on exercise and obesity suggests that the answer is yes. (如果我们的思想真的能控制我们的环境和我们的身体，那么遗传信息对我们有什么影响呢？仅仅了解我们自己的生理机能就能改变它吗？最近一项关于运动和肥胖的研究表明，答案是肯定的。)”以及最后一段“Thus, having information about our genetic risk can lead to improvements in our physiology (as was true for the eaters of the study), but it can also put us at a disadvantage (as with the poor exercise performers). (因此，了解我们的遗传风险可以改善我们的生理机能(就像研究中的饮食者一样)，但它也会让我们处于不利地位(就像那些锻炼不佳的人一样)。)”可推知，作者对了解遗传信息持积极肯定客观的态度，故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Genetic information is important because it stores, processes and transmits biological data from generation to generation. Some scientists even assume that knowing genetic information itself matters. (遗传信息很重要，因为它储存、处理和传递生物数据，代代相传。一些科学家甚至认为了解遗传信息本身很重要。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要通过举例和相关研究讲述了了解遗传信息对我们的重要性，故选B。
D
On Friday, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed and was taken over by federal regulators, marking one of the largest bank failures since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. California’s banking regulators shut down SVB and effectively gives control of the bank to the FDIC, which created a new entity(实体) to oversee it. With a 40-year history, SVB served many companies, and it played an important role in the technology industry, successfully competing with bigger-name banks.
SVB’s business boomed as tech companies did well during the Covid-19. However, the technology industry recently faced difficulties, and many clients withdrew money. To fulfill these withdrawals, SVB sold part of its bond holdings(持有债券) at a $1.8 billion loss. The Federal Reserve’s(美联储) sharp rise in interest rate also affected bonds and stocks. Then SVB decided it wanted to reduce its bond portfolio(债券投资组合) to avoid further losses.
But that announcement spooked the bank’s clients, who got worried and then proceeded to withdraw even more money from the bank—a textbook definition of a bank run. The bank’s stock price(股价) fell by 60% on Thursday, and as its share price continued to sink overnight. Trading was halted, and the FDIC took over SVB.
While concerns emerged about the banking sector, shares of major banks like J. P. Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America dropped by around 5%. Investors worried that other banks, particularly smaller ones, might experience similar withdrawals. However, by Friday, fears regarding the broader banking sector had eased. Experts argued that SVB’s situation was unusual and should not impact other regional banks.
The FDIC-created entity, Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara, will oversee SVB. Insured deposits(存款), typically up to $250,000, will be accessible by Monday. Uninsured deposits face uncertainty, with the FDIC offering an “advance dividend(提前股息)” and “certificates” accounting for the uninsured funds. The regulator has not clarified what this means for uninsured depositors. Investors will continue monitoring any potential impact on other banks.
12. What do we learn about Silicon Valley Bank?
A. It is the world’s first bank that has failed.
B. It has already been taken over by the FDIC.
C. It failed because of the severe situation during the pandemic.
D. It collapsed as a result of competition with the famous banks.
13. What does the underlined word “spooked” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Calmed. B. Inspired.
C. Panicked. D. Persuaded.
14. What is the direct cause of SVB’s failure?
A. Loss of the bond portfolio.
B The decline of the tech industry.
C. The reduction of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate.
D. Withdrawals from a large number of customers.
15. What can be learned in the passage?
A. All small banks will be impacted sooner or later.
B. The banking industry is facing the biggest challenge.
C. Those who have uninsured deposits will lose everything.
D. SVB’s deposit users are likely to be affected by its collapse.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了硅谷银行（SVB）破产的原因以及所造成影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“California’s banking regulators shut down SVB and effectively gives control of the bank to the FDIC, which created a new entity(实体) to oversee it.(加州银行监管机构关闭了SVB，并将该行的控制权实际上交给了FDIC，FDIC创建了一个新的实体来监管该行。)”可知，硅谷银行已经由FDIC接管了，故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中划线词spooked的后文“who got worried and then proceeded to withdraw even more money from the bank—a textbook definition of a bank run.(他们开始担心，然后开始从银行提取更多的钱——这是教科书上对银行挤兑的定义。)”可知，客户担心，于是从银行提取更多的钱，因为此处划线词spooked与C项“使……恐慌”意思相近，这一声明让客户恐慌起来，因此开始担心，然后从银行提取了更多的钱，故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“SVB’s business boomed as tech companies did well during the Covid-19. However, the technology industry recently faced difficulties, and many clients withdrew money.(随着科技公司在新冠疫情期间表现良好，SVB的业务蓬勃发展。然而，科技行业最近遇到了困难，许多客户撤回了资金。)”可知，硅谷银行失败的直接原因是科技产业的衰落，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On Friday, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed and was taken over by federal regulators, marking one of the largest bank failures since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.(周五，硅谷银行倒闭，被联邦监管机构接管，这是自2008年全球金融危机依赖最大的银行倒闭之一。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了硅谷银行（SVB）破产的原因以及所造成影响，所以B选项“银行业正面临着最大的挑战”符合文意，故选B。

【答案】Dear Peter,
I hope this email finds you well. I'm currently working on a project examining the differences between Chinese and Western education. As someone who has firsthand experience with the British education system, I was wondering if you could assist me by recording a short video discussing your perspectives on English education.
I am particularly interested in your views on the teaching methods, the structure of classes, and the teacher-student relationships within the UK educational setting. Your insights, which are based on your many years of experience and extensive knowledge, would make a significant contribution to our project.
If you are willing to help, I would greatly appreciate your assistance in producing such a video. Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Li Hua

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。
This new little stepsister is getting on my nerves. She won’t stop talking. What was Dad trying to prove with this family vacation? We can’t instantly become the ideal family. I just became a teenager, and Christina is only 8 years old.
Dad and I finished putting up the large tent. Then I walked back to the car for my backpack, only to knock a pink one to the ground. Before I could pick it up, Christina appeared. “Why’d you throw my stuff on the ground?” she roared.
After lunch, Dad suggested I take Christina to see the sequoia pines (红杉松树), circling on the map where giant sequoias were.
I jammed the map into my pocket and then set off. When I glanced back at Christina, all I saw was a pink cap. I shook my head. Dad and my new stepmom were crazy if they thought we’d instantly bond. I was not ready to be a big brother.
As we walked the trail, the forest canopy (树冠) became thicker, blocking out direct sunlight, making the temperature drop slightly.
“You warm enough?” I asked. She nodded but didn’t look at me. I noticed her hands had got completely covered with the sap (汁液) of a plant. I took a hand wipe from my pack and wiped her hands.
Reaching a small hill, we climbed up it. Sunshine filled the meadow (草地) below. I could see the tops of sequoia pines popping out above the forest on the other side. I pointed them out excitedly to Christina and finally saw a smile light her face.
“Come on, Sean!” She grabbed my hand and pulled me down into the meadow. Then I saw it, sitting on a rock in the middle of the field: a brown-colored bear cub (幼熊). Cute as it seemed, I knew it was dangerous.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

I instructed Christina to stay close to me and hold my hand firmly.

Keeping a tight hold on her hand, we walked on along the trail marked on our map.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I instructed Christina to stay close to me and hold my hand firmly. “Don’t move suddenly or make any loud noises,” I whispered to her. “We need to stay calm and slowly back away.” Christina nodded, her eyes wide with fear. The bear cub seemed to have no interest in us and continued playing on the rock. We slowly made our way back to the trial, making sure to keep an eye on the cub. Once we were a safe distance away, I let out a sign of relief. “Wow, did you see that?” Christina exclaimed, a smile returning to her face. “That bear cub was so cute!” “Yeah, but we need to remember that they’re still wild animals and can be dangerous,” I reminded her. “We should always keep a safe distance.”
Keeping a tight hold on her hand, we walked on along the trail marked on our map. Christina chattered away, telling me all about her favorite animals and what she wanted to be when she grew up. As we walked, I found myself starting to enjoy her company. Maybe this family vacation wasn’t such a bad idea after all. As we continued on the trial, I made a mental note to be more patient with Christina and try to bond with her more during our time together.
