Our school owned a boat named Jolie Brise. It was one of the most famous tall ships in the
world and three times winner of the Fastnet Race. The boat was unusual: especially for a remote
grammar school in Wiltshire, about as far away from the sea as it can get in England. Obviously,
such a site didn't match its fame.
Mr Parish had originally intended to join the Royal Navy but ended up as a teacher at our
School. Some pupils guessed that he still felt the call of the ocean-perhaps because his lessons were
almost entirely devoted to navigation(航海). They argued that it was deeply unfair to learn about
navigation but never actually go to sea. Then Mr. Parish, seeing a bunch of young people prepared o
crew the boat, allowed them to sail her in return for working on the boat. And that was the beginning
of the school sailing club.
By the time I arrived, the sailing club had grown. At weekends, we would work on her all day,
cleaning and painting her, and collapse into sleeping bags on the floor at night. Then came the big
day when a school sailing trip was announced. Its destination was Saint-Malo. But it also meant that
we had to refit the ship by removing every piece of ballast (压舱物)and replacing the bilge water (底
舱污水) before we were allowed to sail.
And I did learn the ropes on that school trip. I learned how to operate a ship in the high waves. I
learned the meaning of teamwork and became a better team player. I also learned that the best fish is
the one that you have caught and coed yourself from a boat that you have rebuilt and sailed yourself.
4. What was unusual about the boat Jolie Brise?
A. It was in a perfect condition. B. Its lawful owner was Mr. Parish.
C. It won glory for the Royal Navy. D. Its location wasn't as famous as it was.
5. Why was the sailing club set up?
A. The crew were selected. B. The boat needed workers.
C. Mr. Parish tried to explore the sea. D. Students asked to practice navigation.
6. What finally made the school sailing trip possible?
A. The club's permission. B. Mr. Parish's sailing experience.
C. The students' preparing the ship for it. D. The school's offering financial support.
7. What does the underlined phrase "learn the ropes" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Learn to cook. B. Master useful skills.
C. Ensure sailing safety. D. Use ropes properly.
C
Real financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion. It's easy to define and
evaluate a man by his pursuit. Joseph Campbell once said, "Follow your dream and the universe will
open doors where there are only walls."
In life, we'll always be found doing any of these two things: either making a living or making a
difference. Pensions ( 养 老 金 ) and salaries stop many from pursuing excellence while passion
unlocks hidden potentials that equip us for challenges and opportunities. A job helps us make a
living while passion enables us to make a difference.
I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among workers that a job is a
means of livelihood. Rather, it should be a means to fuel our passion. The earlier you realize this
basic truth of life, the more clearly you'll be able to position yourself in living a life of impact and
value.
The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) shows how meaningful it is to pursue your
passion instead of your pension. Its founder, Colonel Harland Sanders, didn't realize this until he was
given his first social security check of 105 dollars. But he decided that there surely was something to
do for himself and other people instead of living on that small pension. He was determined to engage
himself in what brought him impact and value. Drawing inspiration from his mother's special recipe
for fried chicken, he invented "finger-licking" seasoning with eleven spices and herbs. Despite much
rejection, he managed to round up some investors and promote company's rapid expansion to more
than 6, 000 locations. Sanders' life pointed towards two facts about making a difference: one, there is
no age that is too old to make a difference; two, there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a
difference with, as long as it is your passion.
8. How does the author support his argument in paragraph 2?
A. By listing examples. B. By showing contrast.
C. By including a quote. D. By sharing his experience.
9. How did Sanders probably feel when offered his first social security check?
A. Deeply Moved. B. Pleasantly surprised.
C. Greatly relieved. D. Internally motivated.
10. What does the author suggest we do?
A. Pursue our passion. B. Get a well-paid job.
C. Secure our position. D. Get career guidance.
11. What is the best title for this text?
A. Passion or Pension? B. Following Your Dreams
C. Working for Pension D. To Work or not to Work?
D
In a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers at Ohio State University show
how artificial intelligence (AI) can follow clinical trials to identify drugs for repurposing, a solution
that can help advance innovative treatments.
Repurposing drugs is legal and not unusual. When doctors prescribe(开处方)drugs that have
been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for purposes different from what is
printed on the labels, the drugs are being used "off-label." Just because a drug is FDA-approved for a
specific type of disease does not prevent it from having possible benefits for other purposes.
For example, Metformin, a drug that is FDA-approved for treating type 2 diabetes, is also used
to treat PCOS (a disease of women), and other diseases. Trazodone, an anti-depressant with
FDA-approval to treat depression, is also prescribed by doctors to help treat patients with sleep
issues.
The Ohio State University research team created an AI deep learning model for predicting
treatment probability with patient data including the treatment, outcomes, and potential
confounders(干扰因素).
Confounders are related to the exposure and outcome. For example, a connection is identified
between music festivals and increases in skin rashes(红疹). Music festivals do not directly cause
skin rashes. In this case, one possible confounding factor between the two may be outdoor heat, as
music festivals tend to run outdoors when the temperature is high, and heat is a known cause for
rashes. When working with real-world data, confounders could number in the thousands. AI deep
learning is well-suited to find patterns in the complexity of potentially thousands of confounders.
The researcher team used confounders including population data and co-prescribed drugs. With
this proof-of-concept, now clinicians have a powerful AI tool to rapidly discover new treatments by
repurposing existing medications.
12. What do we know about a drug used off-label?
A. It is sold without a label. B. It is available at a low price.
C. Its uses extend beyond the original ones. D. Its clinical trials are rejected by doctors.
13. Metformin and Trazodone are similar as both of them .
A. are used off-label B. treat rare diseases
C. result in sleep issues D. are medical breakthroughs
14. What can be inferred about "confounders"?
A. They are possible treatments.
B. They are environmental factors.
C. They can be easily recognized in real-world data.
D. They should be taken into serious consideration.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. AI examines benefits of existing drugs. B. AI identifies off label uses for drugs.
C. AI finds new drugs for common diseases. D. AI proves the power of drug research.

When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada, I hadn't expected that
communication would be an issue. 16 I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on
English tests.
But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was. In research discussions,
surrounded by native English speakers, I had to be careful. I needed to consciously follow each
conversation and translate it to my native language. 17 Finally, I tried to find the right English
words to communicate that response. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard
time remaining focused in conversations.
But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, a simple
idea occurred to me. 18 Communicating with my colleagues by e-mail, I had more time to
think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English
significantly.
19 I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak
more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little awkward to draw attention to what
might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research team seemed slightly
surprised. But the dynamics quickly improved. They seemed to become more aware of how they
were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation. 20
A. Plus, I learned to be open with my colleagues.
B. Why not contribute to the discussion in writing?
C. I had thought I could express myself in English easily.
D. Gradually I grew uncomfortable with oral communication.
E. Then, I had to reflect carefully on it and think of a response.
F. With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language barriers.
G. How can one deny the significance of effective communication?

第二节 读后续写(满分 25 分)
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。
The football season was almost over. Sally had been playing football all summer. She really
enjoyed running around with the other players in her bright orange uniform, chasing the black and
white ball across the grassy field. As much as she tried, though, Sally still had not scored one single
goal.
Before each game, they had a practice session. The coach showed Sally and her team how to
pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Sally was pretty good at passing the ball, but
even during practices, she couldn't kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit
football and join a different club.
"Don't give up," said the coach. But it was half-time, and Sally was feeling frustrated(沮丧).
She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a
player from the other team would take control of it. She sipped at her cola and pouted(撅嘴).
The break was over and the referee blew his whistle to start the game again. The two teams
walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Sally bent, tied up her shoelace and heard her
mother whisper in her car. "Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the ball. Look for an opportunity to get
the ball. You can do it."
Sally stood up and took a deep breath. Even if she didn't get one goal all summer, she knew that
she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of. So she smiled at her mother and headed to
her position. The whistle blew, and the game continued.
The score was tied with one goal each. The green team was pretty good, but Sally's orange team
was fast. The girls' ponytails bounced as they ran, with many feet kicking frantically(拼命地)at the
ball when it came near them. It was a rather boring game and Sally's heart was no longer in it.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sally started daydreaming about joining other school clubs.
Recalling her mother's words, Sally was woken from her daydream.
