It looked as if tiny elm trees, surrounded by shrubs and hedges, had been skillfully drawn inside the egg-shaped cup.“I was completely awestruck,” said Hamers. “What really surprised me was, you look at it and you see a trunk is growing down from the bottom, and there are branches, and they are pretty well resolved.”Hamers had set out to grow “a very large” crystal of lithium cobalt dioxide (二氧化钴锂) , the material used in the batteries powering mobile phones, laptops, video cameras, and other electronic devices. He planned to use it to develop a fingerprint of the chemical in nature, through a technique known as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Once developed, the fingerprint could be used to scan landfill sites and other environments for the leaked chemical from discarded (丢弃的) batteries, tracing the chemical to its end of life.There was a long lead up time to cracking open the sealed cup. First, a few bits of lithium cobalt oxide were put inside, an ink-black powder to the eye. Extremely high temperatures are required, reaching beyond 1,292 degrees Fahrenheit. Then the cooling begins: Larger crystals only form if the cooling period is extremely slow — in this case the scientists gave it two weeks. Ultimately, the experiment failed: The crystals that grew inside the cup weren’t big enough for the tests Hamers wanted to do.But his photo of the result won one of the awards of the university’s Science Image Contest. Even failure can carry a touch of magic.4. What was the outcome of Hamers experimentA．The crystals were big enough.B．The crystals were dangerous to users.C．The crystals formed a forest-like pattern.D．The experiment was a complete success.5. How did Hamers feel when he cracked open the cupA．Disappointed. B．Amazed. C．Doubtful. D．Relieved.6. What was the main purpose of the chemical fingerprint Hamers wanted to developA．To identify the crystal structure.B．To enhance battery performance.C．To improve crystal growth techniques.D．To track the chemical in the environment.7. What is the text meant to show usA．Every cloud has a silver lining.B．Actions speak louder than words.C．You can’t judge a book by its cover.D．Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.CManufacturing (制造业) jobs have some of the highest injury rates of any industry, often due to workers’ high levels of physical and mental fatigue (疲劳). In an attempt to tackle it, researchers designed a system of wearable sensors that rely on machine-learning to monitor workers for signs of physical fatigue.The design is detailed in a study published by a team at Northwestern University. To measure fatigue and physical health, researchers developed an interconnected series of six wearable sensors placed across a wearer’s body. These were coupled with two cameras to measure joint movements and a web camera to analyze movement intensity, repetition, and declined strength over time. Once enabled, these devices continuously monitored heart rate, skin temperature, and moving patterns. But given that there are no widely accepted universal grades for fatigue, researchers relied on the wearer’s self-reported perceived fatigue levels on a 0-10 scale that they then entered into a machine learning model. Once trained, this model was then used to predict a user’s fatigue levels in real-time to provide a more accurate understanding of the subject’s physical state than past studies.Given that everybody is different, the best mix of physical indicators for fatigue can vary depending on their age, gender, and weight — but there were still some universal trends observed during the two tasks. One of the most telling signs can be found in fatigue levels measured in a user’s non-dominant arm. Another indicator could be found by measuring the intensity of movements for a worker using their chest sensor. The sensor recordings common signs of fatigue like increased heart rate and body temperatures. Sweat also helped inform the modeling.“Although our primary goal through this research is to ensure worker safety, reduce risks, and empower operators through active feedback, we recognize the moral and legal considerations associated with using such systems in real-world workplace environments,” the researchers wrote. “We are hopeful that ongoing technical advancements, including our efforts in predicting physical fatigue in work settings, will inspire constructive discussions.”8. What did the researchers use to train the machine learning modelA．The universally accepted fatigue grades. B．The participants’ heart rate variability.C．The participants’ self-reported scores. D．The historical data from fatigue studies.9. Which is the most significant physical indicator in monitoring fatigueA．Heart rate. B．Non-dominant arm.C．Chest movement. D．Body temperatures.10. What is the last paragraph mainly aboutA．Expectations of the system. B．Updates of the system.C．Potential of the system. D．Applications of the system.11. Which is probably the best title for the textA．Wearable Sensors Monitor Job FatigueB．Wearable Sensors Help Improve ProductivityC．Wearable Sensors Improve Working ConditionsD．Wearable Sensors Offer Reasonable Work SchedulesDDriven by concerns over environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and personal health, many people are exploring alternatives to traditional farm-raised meat. Alternative meat (alt-meat) products, including lab-grown meat and plant-based substitutes, are made using innovative food technologies. While both offer environmental and ethical benefits, each faces distinct challenges related to health, cost, and scalability that must be addressed.Farm-raised meat comes from livestock such as cows, pigs, and chickens. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization reports that livestock farming accounts for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. It also requires enormous amounts of land and water, contributing to deforestation, habitat loss, and water shortages. As global meat demand continues to rise, these environmental problems are expected to worsen significantly.Lab-grown meat is produced directly from animal cells, eliminating the need to raise and slaughter livestock. Studies show it could reduce emissions by up to 96%, land use by 99%, and water use by 96% compared to conventional meat. It can also be modified to have lower fat content or enriched with nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids. However, its long-term health effects remain unknown, requiring strict regulatory oversight from agencies like the FDA and EFSA. Additionally, while simple products like ground meat are already commercially viable (e.g., Israel’s first clean-meat restaurant opened in 2020), producing complex cuts like steak remains expensive and difficult to scale.Plant-based products like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods closely mimic real meat. Production of a Beyond Burger generates 90% fewer emissions and uses 46% less energy than beef, and it contains no cholesterol, 40% less saturated fat, and similar protein levels. However, these products are highly processed. For example, an Impossible Burger contains 370mg of sodium versus 82mg in a beef burger, which may offset health benefits. They also lack key nutrients such as calcium, zinc, and vitamin B12. Moreover, extensive processing and additives can increase resource demand by up to 26%, reducing their environmental advantages.Both types of alt-meat are more expensive than traditional meat — plant-based products cost roughly twice as much as beef per pound, largely due to high R&D costs. Despite this, their popularity is rising. A 2021 study in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems found that alt-meat offers new opportunities for farmers (e.g., supplying ingredients or genetic material) but also threatens the income of ranchers and feed-crop growers. Most producers believe alt-meat will complement, not replace, conventional meat, ultimately providing more market choices and supporting agricultural diversification rather than causing wholesale disruption.12. According to the passage, what is one major challenge facing lab-grown meatA．It cannot be modified to improve nutritional content.B．Its long-term health effects have not been fully established.C．It produces more greenhouse gas emissions than farm-raised meat.D．It has not yet been approved for commercial sale anywhere.13. What does the author suggest about plant-based meat substitutesA．They are generally healthier than whole plant foods.B．Their high sodium content may cancel out some health benefits.C．They contain more saturated fat than beef burgers.D．They are less processed than lab-grown meat.14. What do most food producers believe about the future of alt-meat, according to the 2021 studyA．It will completely replace traditional farm-raised meat.B．It will only benefit large factory farms.C．It will serve as a supplement rather than a replacement.D．It will reduce the total demand for protein.15. Which of the following is a common disadvantage shared by both lab-grown meat and plant-based substitutesA．Both require the slaughter of animals.B．Both are described as costly to produce or scale up.C．Both contain high levels of saturated fat.D．Both have been proven to cause long-term health problems.七选五How to study intensely without getting burned outI’ve done a number of intensive learning projects, sometimes studying for up to twelve hours a day. The risk of working too hard and crashing is always present during projects of this intensity. ____16____. Here are some tips for staying focused without burning out.●Clearly Separate Studying from Life. The worst situation is to be in a state of constant semi-studying (半学习). This happens when people don’t have fixed studying schedules and instead feel like they should “always” be studying. Since always studying is impossible, people secretly add non-studying activities — like playing on their phone or watching television-into their learning time. ____17____, they feel like they have to study more hours. The end result is burnout. One strategy is to have a clear separation between the hours you’re studying and the hours you’re not.●Adjust to the Sweet Spot of 85% Success. We learn best when our success rate is around 85%. If we fail consistently, not only do we get frustrated, we learn less. There are plenty of ways you can adjust your success rate. One is to make the task easier. ____18____, switch to doing them open-book. If you are struggling to memorize something, make a mnemonic (助记符号). It’s much easier to maintain motivation throughout your studies if you can get to a smooth rate of successful trials.●Never Cut Sleep. Late-night cramming (临时死记硬背) is a student favorite. But it’s worst possible strategy you can employ when learning. Sleep plays a crucial role in memory. Cutting sleep while studying is like throwing away your running shoes right before a race. ____19____.●Work out regularly. ____20____. While cutting exercise in a short-term manner is sometimes unavoidable, maintaining good exercise habits is among the few things that reliably improve cognitive functioning. Surprisingly, physical training, not “brain training” games you play on your phone, may be the only kind of brain training that actually works.A．Then, when they are unproductiveB．If you’re failing to do problem setsC．Exercise is another learning boosterD．Thus, I’ve discovered some strategies for preventing burnoutE．It’s being able to find beauty and hope in everything.F．The most optimistic people have experienced great suffering.G．You might think the extra studying time will help, but it only hurts you.二、完形填空Pooja Rani entered the boxing area at age 18 all thanks to her coach Sanjay Kumar.

The first monthly English test of his freshman year came back with a glaring red “58” scrawled across the top. The whispers around him felt like sharp laughter. His English teacher gently suggested he “adjust his learning strategies”, while his deskmate casually slid over an answer sheet filled with corrected multiple-choice answers and whispered, “Just copy mine next time. No one will notice.”That weekend, Li Hua locked himself in his room and spread out every English notebook he had kept since junior high. To his horror, he realized he still confused the present simple tense with the present continuous, let alone understood the complex long sentences in his reading passages. Fury and shame boiled over — he hurled the notebooks onto the floor. But half an hour later, he picked them up, opened the first page, and wrote in red ink: “Starting today, two extra hours every day. No excuses.”What followed was a silent war. At 6 a.m., his voice echoed in the dormitory hallway as he recited vocabulary. During lunch breaks, he sat in the corner of the empty classroom, replaying listening clips over and over, his earphones pressing hard against his ears. Under the dim desk lamp late at night, his test papers grew covered in tiny handwritten annotations. The results came slowly: 65 in the second monthly test, 72 in the midterm, 78 in the final. Each improvement drew surprised glances from classmates, but Li Hua knew all too well how far he still was from a real breakthrough.In his second year, the school announced a mock IELTS test. Without hesitation, Li Hua signed up. When the results were posted, the whole class buzzed with disbelief — he had scored 7.5. His English teacher walked into the classroom, holding the score report, and stopped at his desk. She gently placed a form in front of him: “Li Hua, this is the application for the international exchange program — only three spots are available. But before you fill it out, I’d like to hear your story.”Li Hua took the form, his fingers trembling slightly. He turned his gaze out the window. The plane trees outside the teaching building, once bare in winter, were now thick with summer leaves — just like his own growth over the past year and a half.Paragraph 1: Taking a deep breath, Li Hua began to tell his teacher what he had been through over the past eighteen months.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2: When the teacher finally looked up from the application form, there was a thoughtful smile on her face._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案一、阅读理解1-151.B 2.D 3.D 4.C 5.B 6.D 7.A 8.C 9.B 10.A 11.A 12.B 13.B 14.C 15.B七选五16-2016.D 17.A 18.B 19.G 20.C二、完形填空21-3521.C 22.B 23.D 24.A 25.D 26.B 27.C 28.A 29.D 30.C 31.C 32.C 33.B 34.A 35.B三、语法填空36-4536.discomfort 37.is performed 38.painful 39.than 40.what41.affected 42.a 43.Usually 44.ranging 45.to enhance写作范文46 回信范文Dear Allen,We fully understand your love for our campus and your trouble with high rent in Nottingham. However, we have a fixed rule for exchange students: you must return to your home university right after finishing your exchange studies here.If you still want to study at Duke Kunshan later, you can apply as a full-time undergraduate separately after going back. Wish you all the best!Yours sincerely,Registry Team47 观点驳斥范文I totally disagree with the opinion that studying abroad with large costs is a waste.First of all, overseas study brings precious life experience. Students can experience different cultures, broaden their horizons and learn to live independently. Besides, foreign universities offer unique advanced courses and research resources, which help students gain professional advantages they cannot get at home.Moreover, the international friends and social connections built abroad are valuable wealth for future career development. The money spent is an investment in personal growth rather than a waste.48 读后续写范文Paragraph 1: Taking a deep breath, Li Hua began to tell his teacher what he had been through over the past eighteen months.He talked about the terrible 58-point test, the temptation to cheat and his final choice to rely on his own efforts. He described those early mornings reciting words, lunch breaks practicing listening and late nights sorting out grammar notes. He admitted he once felt hopeless when his scores rose so slowly, but he never gave up. All the small progress encouraged him to keep moving forward, and the 7.5 IELTS score was just the reward for all his persistence.Paragraph 2: When the teacher finally looked up from the application form, there was a thoughtful smile on her face.She told Li Hua that she was deeply moved by his perseverance and strong self-discipline. Such spirits were far more important than high exam scores for an exchange student. She believed Li Hua was fully qualified for the program and encouraged him to fill in the form without hesitation. Li Hua held the form tightly, his eyes shining with hope, knowing all his hard work had led him to this precious chance.
