In 1998, at the age of 22, biologist Ximena Velez-Liendo came face-to-face with South America’s Andean bears on her first day of field research in Bolivia. Her life changed forever when she turned around to see “this beautiful, amazing bear coming out of the forest.”
Andean bears are easily recognized by the ring of pale fur (毛皮) that often encircles one or both eyes. Bolivia is home to about 3,000 adult bears, or about one-third of the world’s total Andean bears. The species suffers mainly from habitat loss and conflicts with humans, who sometimes kill the bears when bears destroy crops or hunt livestock (牲畜). Local villagers showed her bear skins hanging in their living rooms, describing how bears were a threat to them.
When another community in Tarija showed her some brand-new bee boxes that people didn’t know how to use, she had an idea: Could selling honey help save bears?
Training farmers as beekeepers was increasing in other parts of Bolivia as an eco-friendly way to provide income for rural (乡村的) landowners who might otherwise turn to clearing more forest. Velez-Liendo asked Patricia Sanchez, an economist who had experience teaching beekeeping in Bolivia’s highlands, to join the Andean Carnivore Conservation Program in 2017. The program trains locals how to care for hives (蜂箱), get honey and sell it. It also supports other types of nature-friendly agricultural practices, like fencing (围住) livestock and cutting off branches of fruit trees so they don’t attract bears. In exchange, community members agree to protect the forest and not harm Andean bears.
“If people don’t see the value of protecting an animal, protecting an ecosystem, then they’re not going to do it,” Velez-Liendo says. Today, more than 60 Andean bears move around through Tarija’s forests, a remarkable increase over the five bears documented in 2017. Her goal is to copy Tarija’s model in the Chuquisaca and Cochabamba regions to the north. Attracting more rural communities to join in can provide “stepping stones” of habitat to connect isolated bear populations, she says.
24. What do we know about Andean bears?
A. They have grey fur around the eyes. B. Most of them live mainly in Bolivia.
C. They are listed as an endangered species. D. They don’t get along well with humans.
25. Why might rural landowners clear more forests?
A To earn much income. B. To get more space.
C To plant more crops. D. To keep enough bees.
26. Which of the following shows the influence of the program?
A. Worrying. B. Fruitless. C. Unclear. D. Effective.
27. What does Velez-Liendo plan to do next?
A. Increase locals’ income. B. Set up protection areas.
C. Attract more people to join in. D. Develop economy.
C
Are athletes nearing the limits of what’s possible? Are they struggling to break records? The hammer throw (链球), for example, hasn’t seen a new world record since 1986. Yet, athletes frequently outdo themselves in other sports, such as the 400-metre sprint.
Although professional athletes often boast impressive muscles, simply increasing muscle mass does not guarantee improved athletic performance. This is partly because muscles lose efficiency as they grow. More muscle mass produces extra force, but the benefits decrease as muscle mass continues to grow and muscles will eventually approach a hard limit on what they can achieve.
An athlete’s dominant muscle fibre type also significantly impacts performance. Sprinters (短跑运动员) have a high concentration of fast-twitch fibres (快肌纤维) in contrast to marathon runners, who have a high concentration of slow-twitch fibres. Fast-twitch fibres are richer in energy stores, produce more powerful movements and tire us out more quickly than the slow-twitch variety. This difference sets a speed limit on high-endurance sports like long-distance running.
Muscles set a ceiling on how hard athletes can work, but performance also depends on what athletes do with their muscles. In the 1968 Olympics, Dick Fosbury used an innovative strategy for the high jump that raised the bar. Instead of soaring forward over the pole, he turned his body mid-flight. The backward jump enabled him to leap over the pole with less effort. Five years later, Dwight Stones perfected the “Fosbury Flop” and broke the high-jump world record using this method.
Technological advancements in sportswear also significantly boost performance. Shoes equipped with carbon-plated insoles (碳板鞋垫) can give runners an advantage. This type of footwear limits energy loss, meaning the runner has to put in less work to run faster. World Athletics allows athletes to compete with these shoes as long as the soft base is no higher than about 4 centimeters, so it’s possible this sportswear could lead to new running records.
Ultimately, while muscle limitations exist, innovative techniques and advancements in sportswear continue to redefine athletic potential, suggesting that records, even seemingly unbeatable ones, may yet be defeated.
28. How does the writer introduce the topic?
A. By raising questions on athletes’ concerns. B. By listing different sports events directly.
C. By emphasizing the efficiency of muscle mass. D. By analyzing the limits of athletic performance.
29. What can be learned about the muscle fibre types according to paragraph 3?
A. Fast-twitch fibres are ideal for Marathon runners.
B. Sprinters possess more fast-twitch fibres than marathon runners.
C. Slow-twitch fibres are more powerful and tire us more quickly.
D. The muscle fibre type only has a small impact on performance.
30. Why does the author mention the “Fosbury Flop”?
A. To praise Stones’ breaking the world record.
B. To reveal limitations in high-jump techniques.
C. To illustrate the significance of physical peak in athletes.
D. To prove the role of creative techniques in athletic performance.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Only specific sports can see new records.
B. Muscle mass guarantees athletic performance.
C. Muscle limitations make new records impossible.
D. Records may be broken with innovation and technology.
D
Scientists have shown how plants can protect themselves against genetic (基因的) damage caused by environmental stresses. The growing tips of plant roots and shoots have an in-built mechanism (机制) that spells cell death if DNA damage is detected, avoiding passing on faulty DNA.
Plants have small populations of stem cells (干细胞) at the tips of their roots and shoots, which enable them to continuously grow and produce new tissues throughout their lifetime. These stem cells serve as ancestors for plant tissues and organs. However, any genetic faults present in the stem cells will continue to exist and be passed on permanently throughout the plant’s life, which could last thousands of years.
Given the critical role of stem cells and their exposure to potentially dangerous environments at the growing tips of roots and shoots, safeguards are necessary to prevent stem cell faults from becoming fixed. Researchers Nick Fulcher and Robert Sablowski, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, aimed to uncover these protective mechanisms. Through experiments involving X-rays and chemicals, they discovered that stem cells were more sensitive to DNA damage compared to other cells.
When DNA damage occurs, the cells have the capacity to detect it and cause programmed cells to die, preventing the propagation of the damaged genetic code to the rest of the plant tissues. This process has similarities to the safeguard mechanism found in animal cells, which has been broadly studied due to its relevance in preventing cancer.
The identification of a similar protective system in plants is of great interest in the field of plant development. It also helps scientists develop plants that can better handle environmental stress. So knowledge of how plants deal with these stresses is of fundamental significance to agricultural science’s response to climate change.
32. What is the function of the in-built mechanism in plants?
A. To produce more roots and shoots. B. To increase the overall lifetime of the plant.
C. To enhance plant growth and nutrient intake. D. To stop genetic faults in stem cells passing on.
33. What can we know about stem cells in plants according to the text?
A. They are relatively abundant in quantity. B. They are resistant to environmental stresses.
C. They make quick response to DNA damage. D. They have the ability to repair damaged DNA.
34. What does the underlined word “propagation” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Spread. B. Change. C. Existence. D. Self-repair.
35. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. The way of dealing with climate change on the earth.
B. The significance of identifying the protective system in plants.
C. The method of ensuring plant survival under environmental stress.
D. The urgency of developing plants that can handle environmental stress.

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。
When others outperform us, should we feel threatened or inspired? Should we fear or respect those who are more capable, more skilled or more successful than us? ___36___
A study conducted by educational psychologists at Brown University explored how kindergartners in the U. S. and China tell stories about peers who perform better than others. ___37___ Chinese children often expressed respect for high achievers and a desire to imitate their success. In contrast, U. S. children’s stories typically focused on negative reactions, including envy and being left out.
The findings reflect the cultural narratives (叙述) surrounding achievement in each society. In American culture, the “self” is defined by qualities, and abilities, which are largely fixed. Thus, while the achievement of others reflects their high ability, it becomes a mirror to reveal one’s own lack of ability. ___38___ As a result, Chinese children tend to view others’ achievements not as signs of natural superiority, but as opportunities for learning and self-improvement.
___39___ In China, students’ overall performance may be publicly recognized to encourage success and motivate further improvement. Teachers even invite outstanding graduates to share their experiences and lessons with current students to promote learning. In the U. S., such phenomena are less common as they can be seen as threats to self-esteem.
Ultimately, our perceptions and reactions to others’ success are profoundly shaped by cultural narratives surrounding achievement. ___40___ These narratives, in other words, determine whether we feel threatened or inspired, fearful or respectful, annoyed or eager to copy others.
A. It can be a source of motivation.
B. These cultural differences extend to educational practices.
C. Education facilitates personal growth and social progress.
D. They influence our motivations, relationships and actions.
E. Both groups told detailed stories but showed clear differences in content.
F. Different responses can lead to constructive or destructive reactions and actions.
G. However, Chinese culture stresses abilities and qualities can improve through efforts.

In a small town, an elderly woman named Agnes lives alone. Though in her late 60s, Agnes still tries hard to take care of herself and run a small farm. However, she is finding herself struggling to maintain all this.
One winter morning, as frost painted the windows with delicate designs, Agnes woke up to unsettling silence — The power was out, and so was the heating. “Another signal of struggling,” Agnes thought to herself. Feeling cold, she wrapped herself in a thick coat and decided to go to the local cafe for a cup of coffee and some warmth.
As she stepped out into the biting cold, Agnes felt the pain inside her bones. The streets were unusually quiet, with only a few brave souls braving the elements. She made her way to the cafe, her breath visible in the frosty air. Upon entering, she was greeted by the good smell of fresh coffee. She ordered her usual and found a seat by the window.
As she drank her coffee, Agnes noticed a young man shaking outside. He seemed to be debating whether to come in or not. The moment she saw his face, she recognized it was Charlie, who used to enjoy coffee in the cafe and pay for her coffee before they started a pleasant conversation. “There must be something wrong with him,” Agnes thought. She decided to buy Charlie a cup of coffee.
Holding a steaming cup of coffee, Agnes approached Charlie and offered him the cup. “Here, this might help warm you up,” Agnes said gently.
Charlie looked at Agnes with surprise and gratitude. “Thank you,” he stammered, his hands wrapping around the cup as if it were a lifeline. “I…I lost my job and home. I was trying to... find a job...” Agnes patted him on the arm and said softly, “We all have struggles, but there’s always hope.”
注意:1. 续写词数应150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With an idea in mind, Agnes invited Charlie into the cafe.

【原文】W: English movies will have you practicing your pronunciation with their songs to falling in love with characters’ love stories. That’s why I want to share my favorite films to learn English with movies, and give you some tips to help you learn new words and phrases while you watch.
Choose an interesting movie. If you’re bored, paying attention for more than one and a half hours will be difficult. I remember when I was a child, I had to watch hours and hours of really old movies like “Singing in the Rain” and “Mary Poppins” to learn English. I didn’t hate them, but I didn’t feel excited when watching these films.
Listen and repeat. If there’s a part you don’t understand, rewind, listen to it again and try to repeat what is being said. This will help you grasp the situation and practice your pronunciation.
Keep a movie journal. While watching your movies, pause the video when you hear something that seems useful and write it down in a journal. This way, you’re collecting “authentic” real-life phrases that you can practice and use on your English speaking friends in the future.
Check out FluentU. If keeping a movie journal and looking up words in your dictionary sounds like a lot of work, and you are open to watching other fun videos, you can also try FluentU. FluentU has thousands of authentic videos for learning English, including movie trailers, music videos, and TV shows. Each video comes with subtitles, definitions and example sentences.

In 1998, at the age of 22, biologist Ximena Velez-Liendo came face-to-face with South America’s Andean bears on her first day of field research in Bolivia. Her life changed forever when she turned around to see “this beautiful, amazing bear coming out of the forest.”
Andean bears are easily recognized by the ring of pale fur (毛皮) that often encircles one or both eyes. Bolivia is home to about 3,000 adult bears, or about one-third of the world’s total Andean bears. The species suffers mainly from habitat loss and conflicts with humans, who sometimes kill the bears when bears destroy crops or hunt livestock (牲畜). Local villagers showed her bear skins hanging in their living rooms, describing how bears were a threat to them.
When another community in Tarija showed her some brand-new bee boxes that people didn’t know how to use, she had an idea: Could selling honey help save bears?
Training farmers as beekeepers was increasing in other parts of Bolivia as an eco-friendly way to provide income for rural (乡村的) landowners who might otherwise turn to clearing more forest. Velez-Liendo asked Patricia Sanchez, an economist who had experience teaching beekeeping in Bolivia’s highlands, to join the Andean Carnivore Conservation Program in 2017. The program trains locals how to care for hives (蜂箱), get honey and sell it. It also supports other types of nature-friendly agricultural practices, like fencing (围住) livestock and cutting off branches of fruit trees so they don’t attract bears. In exchange, community members agree to protect the forest and not harm Andean bears.
“If people don’t see the value of protecting an animal, protecting an ecosystem, then they’re not going to do it,” Velez-Liendo says. Today, more than 60 Andean bears move around through Tarija’s forests, a remarkable increase over the five bears documented in 2017. Her goal is to copy Tarija’s model in the Chuquisaca and Cochabamba regions to the north. Attracting more rural communities to join in can provide “stepping stones” of habitat to connect isolated bear populations, she says.
24. What do we know about Andean bears?
A. They have grey fur around the eyes. B. Most of them live mainly in Bolivia.
C. They are listed as an endangered species. D. They don’t get along well with humans.
25. Why might rural landowners clear more forests?
A. To earn much income. B. To get more space.
C. To plant more crops. D. To keep enough bees.
26. Which of the following shows the influence of the program?
A. Worrying. B. Fruitless. C. Unclear. D. Effective.
27. What does Velez-Liendo plan to do next?
A. Increase locals’ income. B. Set up protection areas.
C. Attract more people to join in. D. Develop economy.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了生物学家Velez-Liendo在玻利维亚实地调查时发现安第斯熊数量减少,她通过让当地人卖蜂蜜来赚钱收入,从而减少人类对安第斯熊的杀戮,效果显著。
24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The species suffers mainly from habitat loss and conflicts with humans, who sometimes kill the bears when bears destroy crops or hunt livestock (牲畜). Local villagers showed her bear skins hanging in their living rooms, describing how bears were a threat to them.(该物种主要遭受栖息地丧失和与人类的冲突,当熊破坏庄稼或捕猎牲畜时,人类有时会杀死熊。当地村民向她展示了挂在客厅里的熊皮,描述了熊是如何对他们构成威胁的。)” 可知,安第斯熊与人类存在冲突,人类有时会在熊破坏庄稼或捕食牲畜时杀死它们,村民还向她展示挂在客厅的熊皮,说明它们与人类相处得不好。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Training farmers as beekeepers was increasing in other parts of Bolivia as an eco-friendly way to provide income for rural (乡村的) landowners who might otherwise turn to clearing more forest.(在玻利维亚的其他地区,越来越多的农民接受养蜂人培训,这是一种环保的方式,可以为农村土地所有者提供收入,否则他们可能会转而砍伐更多的森林。)”可知,训练农民成为养蜂人是一种为农村土地所有者提供收入的环保方式,否则他们可能会砍伐更多的森林来获取收入。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Today, more than 60 Andean bears move around through Tarija’s forests, a remarkable increase over the five bears documented in 2017.(今天,有60多只安第斯熊在塔里贾的森林里活动,比2017年记录的5只熊有了显著的增加。)”可知,现在有超过60只安第斯熊相比2017年记录的5只熊有了显著增加,由此可知,这个项目是有效的。故选D项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Her goal is to copy Tarija’s model in the Chuquisaca and Cochabamba regions to the north. Attracting more rural communities to join in can provide “stepping stones” of habitat to connect isolated bear populations, she says.(她的目标是在北部的丘基萨卡和科恰班巴地区复制塔里哈的模式。她说,吸引更多的农村社区加入,可以为与世隔绝的熊群提供栖息地的‘垫脚石’。)”可知,她的目标是在北部的丘基萨卡和科恰班巴地区复制塔里哈的模式,吸引更多的人们加入。故选C项。
C
Are athletes nearing the limits of what’s possible? Are they struggling to break records? The hammer throw (链球), for example, hasn’t seen a new world record since 1986. Yet, athletes frequently outdo themselves in other sports, such as the 400-metre sprint.
Although professional athletes often boast impressive muscles, simply increasing muscle mass does not guarantee improved athletic performance. This is partly because muscles lose efficiency as they grow. More muscle mass produces extra force, but the benefits decrease as muscle mass continues to grow and muscles will eventually approach a hard limit on what they can achieve.
An athlete’s dominant muscle fibre type also significantly impacts performance. Sprinters (短跑运动员) have a high concentration of fast-twitch fibres (快肌纤维) in contrast to marathon runners, who have a high concentration of slow-twitch fibres. Fast-twitch fibres are richer in energy stores, produce more powerful movements and tire us out more quickly than the slow-twitch variety. This difference sets a speed limit on high-endurance sports like long-distance running.
Muscles set a ceiling on how hard athletes can work, but performance also depends on what athletes do with their muscles. In the 1968 Olympics, Dick Fosbury used an innovative strategy for the high jump that raised the bar. Instead of soaring forward over the pole, he turned his body mid-flight. The backward jump enabled him to leap over the pole with less effort. Five years later, Dwight Stones perfected the “Fosbury Flop” and broke the high-jump world record using this method.
Technological advancements in sportswear also significantly boost performance. Shoes equipped with carbon-plated insoles (碳板鞋垫) can give runners an advantage. This type of footwear limits energy loss, meaning the runner has to put in less work to run faster. World Athletics allows athletes to compete with these shoes as long as the soft base is no higher than about 4 centimeters, so it’s possible this sportswear could lead to new running records.
Ultimately, while muscle limitations exist, innovative techniques and advancements in sportswear continue to redefine athletic potential, suggesting that records, even seemingly unbeatable ones, may yet be defeated.
28. How does the writer introduce the topic?
A. By raising questions on athletes’ concerns. B. By listing different sports events directly.
C. By emphasizing the efficiency of muscle mass. D. By analyzing the limits of athletic performance.
29. What can be learned about the muscle fibre types according to paragraph 3?
A. Fast-twitch fibres are ideal for Marathon runners.
B. Sprinters possess more fast-twitch fibres than marathon runners.
C. Slow-twitch fibres are more powerful and tire us more quickly.
D. The muscle fibre type only has a small impact on performance.
30. Why does the author mention the “Fosbury Flop”?
A. To praise Stones’ breaking the world record.
B. To reveal limitations in high-jump techniques.
C. To illustrate the significance of physical peak in athletes.
D. To prove the role of creative techniques in athletic performance.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Only specific sports can see new records.
B. Muscle mass guarantees athletic performance.
C. Muscle limitations make new records impossible.
D. Records may be broken with innovation and technology.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了运动员在接近体能极限时,如何通过创新技术和运动装备的进步来继续打破世界纪录的可能性。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Are athletes nearing the limits of what’s possible? Are they struggling to break records? The hammer throw (链球), for example, hasn’t seen a new world record since 1986. Yet, athletes frequently outdo themselves in other sports, such as the 400-metre sprint.(运动员是否正在接近可能的极限?他们是否在努力打破纪录?例如,链球项目自1986年以来就没有出现过新的世界纪录。然而,在其他体育项目中,如400米短跑,运动员们却经常能够超越自我)”可知,作者通过提出通过提出运动员所关心的两个问题来引入话题。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sprinters (短跑运动员) have a high concentration of fast-twitch fibres (快肌纤维) in contrast to marathon runners, who have a high concentration of slow-twitch fibres.(短跑运动员拥有高浓度的快肌纤维,而马拉松运动员则拥有高浓度的慢肌纤维)”可知,短跑运动员比马拉松运动员拥有更多的快肌纤维。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In the 1968 Olympics, Dick Fosbury used an innovative strategy for the high jump that raised the bar. Instead of soaring forward over the pole, he turned his body mid-flight. The backward jump enabled him to leap over the pole with less effort. Five years later, Dwight Stones perfected the “Fosbury Flop” and broke the high-jump world record using this method.(在1968年的奥运会上,Dick Fosbury采用了一种创新的跳高策略,这一策略提高了跳高的标杆。他不是像传统那样面向前方飞跃过杆,而是在空中转身。这种向后跳跃的方式使他能够以较小的努力跃过横杆。五年后,Dwight Stones完善了“Fosbury Flop”,并使用这种方法打破了跳高世界纪录)”可知,Dick Fosbury创新了跳高运动的姿势。五年后Dwight Stones利用“Fosbury Flop”打破了世界纪录。由此可推知,作者提到“Fosbury Flop”是为了证明创新性的技巧在帮助运动员的表现上起作用。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意。根据全文内容及最后一段“Ultimately, while muscle limitations exist, innovative techniques and advancements in sportswear continue to redefine athletic potential, suggesting that records, even seemingly unbeatable ones, may yet be defeated.(最终,尽管肌肉存在局限性,但创新的技术和运动装备的进步不断重新定义运动员的潜力,这表明即使是看似无法打破的记录也有可能被刷新)”可知,文章的整体观点是,尽管存在肌肉的生理限制,但通过技巧创新和运动装备的科技进步,仍旧有可能打破现有的运动纪录。由此可推知,创新和科技的应用将有助于打破纪录。故选D项。
D
Scientists have shown how plants can protect themselves against genetic (基因的) damage caused by environmental stresses. The growing tips of plant roots and shoots have an in-built mechanism (机制) that spells cell death if DNA damage is detected, avoiding passing on faulty DNA.
Plants have small populations of stem cells (干细胞) at the tips of their roots and shoots, which enable them to continuously grow and produce new tissues throughout their lifetime. These stem cells serve as ancestors for plant tissues and organs. However, any genetic faults present in the stem cells will continue to exist and be passed on permanently throughout the plant’s life, which could last thousands of years.
Given the critical role of stem cells and their exposure to potentially dangerous environments at the growing tips of roots and shoots, safeguards are necessary to prevent stem cell faults from becoming fixed. Researchers Nick Fulcher and Robert Sablowski, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, aimed to uncover these protective mechanisms. Through experiments involving X-rays and chemicals, they discovered that stem cells were more sensitive to DNA damage compared to other cells.
When DNA damage occurs, the cells have the capacity to detect it and cause programmed cells to die, preventing the propagation of the damaged genetic code to the rest of the plant tissues. This process has similarities to the safeguard mechanism found in animal cells, which has been broadly studied due to its relevance in preventing cancer.
The identification of a similar protective system in plants is of great interest in the field of plant development. It also helps scientists develop plants that can better handle environmental stress. So knowledge of how plants deal with these stresses is of fundamental significance to agricultural science’s response to climate change.
32. What is the function of the in-built mechanism in plants?
A. To produce more roots and shoots. B. To increase the overall lifetime of the plant.
C. To enhance plant growth and nutrient intake. D. To stop genetic faults in stem cells passing on.
33. What can we know about stem cells in plants according to the text?
A. They are relatively abundant in quantity. B. They are resistant to environmental stresses.
C. They make quick response to DNA damage. D. They have the ability to repair damaged DNA.
34. What does the underlined word “propagation” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Spread. B. Change. C. Existence. D. Self-repair.
35. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. The way of dealing with climate change on the earth.
B. The significance of identifying the protective system in plants.
C. The method of ensuring plant survival under environmental stress.
D. The urgency of developing plants that can handle environmental stress.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B

【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“When DNA damage occurs, the cells have the capacity to detect it and cause programmed cells to die, preventing the”以及后文“of the damaged genetic code to the rest of the plant tissues”可知,当DNA受损时,细胞有能力检测到它,并导致程序化细胞死亡,防止受损的遗传密码传播到植物组织的其他部分。故划线词意思是“传播”。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The identification of a similar protective system in plants is of great interest in the field of plant development. It also helps scientists develop plants that can better handle environmental stress. So knowledge of how plants deal with these stresses is of fundamental significance to agricultural science’s response to climate change.(在植物中发现类似的保护系统在植物发育领域具有重要意义。它还帮助科学家培育出能够更好地应对环境压力的植物。因此,了解植物如何应对这些压力对农业科学应对气候变化具有重要意义)”可知,最后一段的重点是识别植物保护系统的意义。故选B。
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。
When others outperform us, should we feel threatened or inspired? Should we fear or respect those who are more capable, more skilled or more successful than us? ___36___
A study conducted by educational psychologists at Brown University explored how kindergartners in the U. S. and China tell stories about peers who perform better than others. ___37___ Chinese children often expressed respect for high achievers and a desire to imitate their success. In contrast, U. S. children’s stories typically focused on negative reactions, including envy and being left out.
The findings reflect the cultural narratives (叙述) surrounding achievement in each society. In American culture, the “self” is defined by qualities, and abilities, which are largely fixed. Thus, while the achievement of others reflects their high ability, it becomes a mirror to reveal one’s own lack of ability. ___38___ As a result, Chinese children tend to view others’ achievements not as signs of natural superiority, but as opportunities for learning and self-improvement.
___39___ In China, students’ overall performance may be publicly recognized to encourage success and motivate further improvement. Teachers even invite outstanding graduates to share their experiences and lessons with current students to promote learning. In the U. S., such phenomena are less common as they can be seen as threats to self-esteem.
Ultimately, our perceptions and reactions to others’ success are profoundly shaped by cultural narratives surrounding achievement. ___40___ These narratives, in other words, determine whether we feel threatened or inspired, fearful or respectful, annoyed or eager to copy others.
A. It can be a source of motivation.
B. These cultural differences extend to educational practices.
C. Education facilitates personal growth and social progress.
D. They influence our motivations, relationships and actions.
E. Both groups told detailed stories but showed clear differences in content.
F. Different responses can lead to constructive or destructive reactions and actions.
G. However, Chinese culture stresses abilities and qualities can improve through efforts.

【36题详解】
根据上文的“When others outperform us, should we feel threatened or inspired? Should we fear or respect those who are more capable, more skilled or more successful than us?(当别人比我们表现得更好时,我们应该感到受到威胁还是得到激励?我们应该害怕还是尊敬那些比我们更有能力、更熟练或更成功的人?)”可知,此处就别人比我们表现更好时,我们会做出怎样的回应的问题,结合下文讲述的中美两国对该问题的不同回应可知,此空需要一个能够引出下文的内容,F选项“Different responses can lead to constructive or destructive reactions and actions.(不同的反应可以导致建设性或破坏性的回应和行为。)”回应了上文的问题,同时引出下文讲述的内容,符合语境。故选F项。

S. and China tell stories about peers who perform better than others.(一项由布朗大学的教育心理学家进行的研究探讨了美国和中国的幼儿园儿童如何讲述关于比其他同龄人表现更好的同伴的故事。)”可知,此处提到了布朗大学的一项研究,结合下文的“Chinese children often expressed respect for high achievers and a desire to imitate their success. In contrast, U. S. children’s stories typically focused on negative reactions, including envy and being left out. (中国儿童经常表达对高成就者的尊敬以及模仿他们成功的愿望。相比之下,美国儿童的故事通常集中在负面反应上,包括嫉妒和被排挤的感觉。)”可知,研究的结果显示中美两国的儿童对此产生了明显的不同,由此可知,此处需要一个具体的描述来引出研究的结果,E选项“Both groups told detailed stories but showed clear differences in content.(两组儿童都讲述了详细的故事,但在内容上显示出了明显的差异。)”承接上文提到的研究,且阐述了两国儿童存在的差异性,进而引出下文详细解释两国之间存在的明显差异,符合语境。故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据上文的“In American culture, the “self” is defined by qualities, and abilities, which are largely fixed. Thus, while the achievement of others reflects their high ability, it becomes a mirror to reveal one’s own lack of ability.(在美国文化中,“自我”是由那些大多固定不变的品质和能力所定义的。因此,虽然他人的成就反映了他们高水平的能力,但这也成为了一面镜子,映照出自己能力的不足。)”可知,此处阐述了美国文化对“自我”的定义以及因此带来的影响,结合下文的“As a result, Chinese children tend to view others’ achievements not as signs of natural superiority, but as opportunities for learning and self-improvement.(因此,中国儿童倾向于将他人的成就视为学习和自我提升的机会,而不是自然优越性的标志。)”可知,此处阐述了中国文化对儿童产生的影响,由此可知,此空讲述的与中国文化标准相关,G选项“However, Chinese culture stresses abilities and qualities can improve through efforts.(然而,中国文化强调能力与品质是可以通过努力得到提升的。)”讲述的内容与上文的内容为转折关系,且与空后的内容为因果关系,符合逻辑。故选G项。

S., such phenomena are less common as they can be seen as threats to self-esteem.(在中国,学生的整体表现可能会被公开认可,以鼓励成功并激励进一步的改进。教师甚至会邀请杰出的毕业生与当前的学生分享他们的经验和教训,以促进学习。而在美国,这样的现象较为少见,因为它们可能被视为对自尊心的威胁。)”可知,在中国表现好的孩子会被公开认可,教师会让其分享他们的经验和教训,而在美国,这被视为对自尊心的威胁,由此可知,此处讲述的是这种文化差异在教育领域的不同,B选项“These cultural differences extend to educational practices.(这些文化差异延伸到了教育实践。)”讲述的内容与教育相关,概括了本段的主题,为接下来的具体例子提供了合理的过渡。故选B项。
【40题详解】
根据下文的“These narratives, in other words, determine whether we feel threatened or inspired, fearful or respectful, annoyed or eager to copy others.(换句话说,这些叙述决定了我们是感到受到威胁还是得到激励,是感到恐惧还是尊敬,是感到恼怒还是渴望模仿他人。)”可知,此处是对该空内容换一种说法的表述,由此可推断,此空应是对这些叙述对我们产生的影响的另外一种表述方式,D选项“They influence our motivations, relationships and actions.(它们影响着我们的动机、人际关系和行为。)”中的they指代的是上文的cultural narratives surrounding achievement,且讲述的内容与下文的内容吻合,符合语境。故选D项。

In a small town, an elderly woman named Agnes lives alone. Though in her late 60s, Agnes still tries hard to take care of herself and run a small farm. However, she is finding herself struggling to maintain all this.
One winter morning, as frost painted the windows with delicate designs, Agnes woke up to unsettling silence — The power was out, and so was the heating. “Another signal of struggling,” Agnes thought to herself. Feeling cold, she wrapped herself in a thick coat and decided to go to the local cafe for a cup of coffee and some warmth.
As she stepped out into the biting cold, Agnes felt the pain inside her bones. The streets were unusually quiet, with only a few brave souls braving the elements. She made her way to the cafe, her breath visible in the frosty air. Upon entering, she was greeted by the good smell of fresh coffee. She ordered her usual and found a seat by the window.
As she drank her coffee, Agnes noticed a young man shaking outside. He seemed to be debating whether to come in or not. The moment she saw his face, she recognized it was Charlie, who used to enjoy coffee in the cafe and pay for her coffee before they started a pleasant conversation. “There must be something wrong with him,” Agnes thought. She decided to buy Charlie a cup of coffee.
Holding a steaming cup of coffee, Agnes approached Charlie and offered him the cup. “Here, this might help warm you up,” Agnes said gently.
Charlie looked at Agnes with surprise and gratitude. “Thank you,” he stammered, his hands wrapping around the cup as if it were a lifeline. “I…I lost my job and home. I was trying to... find a job...” Agnes patted him on the arm and said softly, “We all have struggles, but there’s always hope.”

During his stay with Agnes, Charlie tried to pay back.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With an idea in mind, Agnes invited Charlie into the cafe. They found a quiet corner and sat down. Agnes listened intently as Charlie shared his story. He had been laid off a month ago and had been struggling to make ends meet ever since. Agnes, seeing herself in his struggle, offered him a place to stay for a few days. “I have an extra room that no one uses,” she said with a warm smile. “You can stay there while you get back on your feet.” Charlie hesitated but finally accepted her offer, his eyes filled with relief and gratitude.
During his stay with Agnes, Charlie tried to pay back. He began by helping out around the farm. Each day, he would wake up early and assist Agnes with her chores, feeding the animals, repairing fences, and even chopping wood for the fireplace. Slowly but surely, the farm began to look better and Agnes felt less burdened. Charlie also lined up job interviews and finally landed a job at a local grocery store. The day he moved into his own place, he and Agnes shared a heartfelt goodbye. “You have no idea how much you’ve helped me,” Charlie said, tears in his eyes. Agnes, hugging him tightly, replied, “We both helped each other. Remember, there’s always hope.”
