Field Day Field Day is a great place to have fun after lining your stomach with the latest vegan food in the super-chill village green area. But Field Day has serious muso credit too; it’s carefully picked out to include edgy guitar music, shoegaze, alternative R &. B, smart rap, revered DJs and everything else that’s popular. It also boasts one of the best stages on the UK festival circuit. When: May 24 Wilderness Festival As the ever-magical Oxfordshire August getaway, Wilderness Festival has got better and better over the years. But the festival isn’t just about great sounds. From outdoor theatres to talks and debates, horse riding to yurt building, a lakeside spa to long-table banquets with leading chefs, this is much more than a music festival. Book now if you want in — it’s always a sell-out affair. When: July 31-August 3 Latitude Festival This Suffolk’s festival is a very family-friendly affair and the music programming is artfully mixed up with comedy, poetry, spoken word, dance and theatre. DJs are hidden in the woods for late night revelry (狂欢) and the famous colourful sheep wander the surrounding fields. Only downside: It’s kind of remote transport-wise, almost impossible to get to by any means other than Suffolk’s cows. When: July 24-27 Houghton Festival This intimate woodland party is one of the UK’s most praiseworthy new festivals, and it’s easy to see why. Everything you hear at Houghton is broadcast through the finest sound-systems, selected by Craig Richards, who organizes the event. Richards handpicks a killer cast of DJs, including some of the biggest and best names from house, techno, disco and more. There’s also visual art and sculpture to engage the eyes as well as ears. When: August 7-10 1. What makes Wilderness Festival more than just a music festival? A. Its remote location. B. Its variety of activities. C. The famous colourful sheep. D. Its focus on edgy guitar music. 2. How can visitors reach Latitude Festival? A. On foot. B. By air. C. By riding a cow. D. By water. 3. When can music lovers enjoy music selected by Craig Richards? A. May 24. B. July 24. C. August 3. D. August 8. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了 2025 年英国的一些最佳音乐节。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Wilderness Festival部分的“From outdoor theatres to talks and debates, horse riding to yurt building, a lakeside spa to long-table banquets with leading chefs, this is much more than a music festival.(从户外剧院到讲座和辩论，从骑马到搭建蒙古包，从湖边水疗到与顶级厨师一起的长桌宴会，这远不止是一个音乐节。)”可知，Wilderness Festival 有各种各样的活动，这使得它不仅仅是一个音乐节。故选 B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Latitude Festival部分的“Only downside: It’s kind of remote transport-wise, almost impossible to get to by any means other than Suffolk’s cows.(唯一的缺点是：从交通方面来说，它有点偏远，除了骑萨福克的奶牛之外，几乎不可能通过其他方式到达。)”可知，游客可以通过骑奶牛到达 Latitude Festival。故选 C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Houghton Festival部分的“Everything you hear at Houghton is broadcast through the finest sound-systems, selected by Craig Richards, who organizes the event. When: August 7 - 10(在霍顿音乐节上，你听到的一切都是通过最好的音响系统播放的，这些音响系统是由组织活动的克雷格・理查兹挑选的。举办时间：8 月 7 日至 10 日)”可知，音乐爱好者在 8 月 7 日至 10 日可以欣赏到克雷格・理查兹挑选的音乐，8 月 8 日在此期间。故选 D。 B The Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal competition asks the UK students one question: “If you were an engineer, what would you do?” And 12-year-old Rebecca Young had her answer right away. The young Scottish student wanted to help members of her community facing homelessness. Young entered the Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal competition as one of 70,000 engineering designs and won the Commendation Medal, an award determined by public vote. She also won a silver medal in the main competition. Young invented a solar-powered heated blanket with the goal of helping unhoused people keep warm. Young started by researching sleeping bags and backpacks, curious as to how they could be designed to offer even more warmth. Of course, heated blankets do exist, though they must be plugged (插入) into power supply to function to their full potential — a luxury homeless individuals often do not have. With assistance from an engineering firm, Young presented a prototype (模型) for the heated blanket. The design is integrated into a backpack and powered by the sun, allowing for easy on-the-go use. While simplistic in application, Young’s design is thorough. Using the average human sleep time of eight hours as a required run time, she conducted in-depth research on the most suitable batteries and solar panels to use in the prototype. The invention also includes a control circuit that automatically alternates the blanket between on-and-off states based on temperature readings to conserve battery life. The blanket itself is also designed similarly to a sleeping bag to allow for heat retention and to keep users warm amid any shifts or movements. The outer frame of the blanket’s backpack also offers more storage space to the user. While created with the intention to support people sleeping on the streets, Young also said the design could be applicable for camping, hiking, or traveling. “It felt amazing to see my drawing turn into something real. I never thought that could happen. Homelessness is a big problem that needs fixing, and if you see a homeless person, help in any way you can,” Young said. 4. What motivated Young to enter the competition? A. To win a medal. B. To keep homeless people warm. C. To improve her engineering skills. D. To design a new type of sleeping bags. 5. Why did Young’s blanket need to be solar-powered? A. To be more portable. B. To be cheaper to use. C. To be used without access to power supply. D. To be environmentally friendly. 6. What enables the heated blanket to automatically keep battery life? A. Its solar panel. B. Its storage space. C. Its unique shape. D. Its control circuit. 7. What can we say about Young’s heated blanket? A. Portable and practical. B. Cheap but complicated. C. Simple and Ineffective. D. Eco-friendly but expensive. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了12岁苏格兰学生Rebecca Young发明太阳能加热毯帮助无家可归者的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The young Scottish student wanted to help members of her community facing homelessness. (这位年轻的苏格兰学生想要帮助她所在社区中面临无家可归问题的人们)”可知，Young参加比赛的动机是为了让无家可归的人保持温暖。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Of course, heated blankets do exist, though they must be plugged (插入) into power supply to function to their full potential — a luxury homeless individuals often do not have. (当然，加热毯子确实存在，尽管它们必须插入电源才能充分发挥其潜力——这是无家可归者通常没有的奢侈品)”可知，因为无家可归的人通常无法使用电源，所以Young设计太阳能加热毯是为了方便无家可归者在无电力供应的条件下使用它。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The invention also includes a control circuit that automatically alternates the blanket between on-and-off states based on temperature readings to conserve battery life. (该发明还包括一个控制电路，该电路根据温度读数自动在开关状态之间切换毯子，以节省电池寿命)”可知，该发明还包括一个控制电路，该电路可以根据温度读数自动切换太阳能加热毯的开关状态，以延长电池寿命。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Of course, heated blankets do exist, though they must be plugged (插入) into power supply to function to their full potential — a luxury homeless individuals often do not have. (当然，加热毯子确实存在，尽管它们必须插入电源才能充分发挥其潜力——这是无家可归者通常没有的奢侈品)”以及第四段“The design is integrated into a backpack and powered by the sun, allowing for easy on-the-go use. While simplistic in application, Young’s design is thorough. (该设计集成到背包中，并由太阳供电，便于随时使用。虽然应用简单，但Young的设计很彻底)”以及文章内容可知，Young的太阳能加热毯可以让无家可归者就地取暖。由此可知，该太阳能加热毯具有实用性和便携性。故选A项。 C Encouraging bilingualism (双语能力) at home can have many cognitive benefits, which may be particularly helpful to kids with autism spectrum disorder (孤独症谱系障碍) or ASD, new research from the University of Miami’s College of Arts and Sciences indicates. A team of researchers led by Celia Romero, a graduate student in clinical psychology, explored the role of bilingualism in 112 children, including typically developing children and children with autism, between the ages of 7 to 12 years old. Overall, they found that children who spoke two or more languages often had stronger executive (执行的) functioning skills. This means they are able to control impulses (冲动) and to switch between different tasks more easily than children who only spoke one language. The results are significant because executive functioning skills are a key challenge for children on the spectrum but are important for all kids to thrive in school and later in the workplace. Yet, the team found the benefits of speaking more than one language were not limited to children with autism. The study also looked at the impact of multilingualism on core symptoms of autism, including perspective taking, restricted and repetitive behaviors and social communication. “We also found that multilingual children have enhanced perspective taking skills, or the ability to understand someone else’s thoughts or point of view,” Romero said. An idea called joint activation from the field of neuroscience can help explain the results. Prior research suggests that the bilingual brain has two languages constantly active and competing. As a result, the daily experience of shifting between these languages is associated with enhanced executive control. This concept is also known as the “bilingual advantage”, according to the researchers. “If you have to juggle two languages, you have to suppress one in order to use the other. That’s the idea that inhibition — or the ability to stop yourself from doing something — might be enhanced by knowing two languages,” said another researcher. 8. What benefit does bilingualism bring to children with ASD? A. Social skill enhancement. B. Academic performance boost. C. Cognitive ability improvement. D. Language learning acceleration. 9. What can we say about executive functioning skills? A. They contribute to better leadership skills. B. They affect children’s future work life. C. They determine children’s language level. D. They enhance children’s physical abilities. 10. What may happen when speaking two languages? A. Learning delay. B. Language confusion. C. Delayed multitasking. D. Brain language competition. 11. What does the underlined word “juggle” in the last paragraph mean? A. Employ. B. Switch. C. Adapt. D. Explore. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，一项研究表明，在家鼓励孩子使用双语对他们的认知有很多好处，特别是对患有孤独症谱系障碍（ASD）的孩子有帮助。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Encouraging bilingualism (双语能力) at home can have many cognitive benefits, which may be particularly helpful to kids with autism spectrum disorder (孤独症谱系障碍) or ASD, new research from the University of Miami’s College of Arts and Sciences indicates.(迈阿密大学艺术与科学学院的一项新研究表明，在家里鼓励双语可以带来许多认知方面的好处，这可能对患有自闭症谱系障碍或ASD的孩子特别有帮助)”可知，在家鼓励孩子使用双语对他们的认知有很多好处，故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The results are significant because executive functioning skills are a key challenge for children on the spectrum but are important for all kids to thrive in school and later in the workplace.(这一结果意义重大，因为执行功能技能对自闭症儿童来说是一项关键挑战，但对所有孩子在学校和以后的工作场所都很重要)”可知， 执行功能技能会影响孩子未来的工作生活。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Prior research suggests that the bilingual brain has two languages constantly active and competing.(先前的研究表明，双语者的大脑中有两种语言不断活跃和竞争)”可知，双语者的大脑中有两种语言一直处于活跃和竞争的状态，故选D。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“you have to suppress one in order to use the other(你就必须抑制其中一种语言，以便使用另一种语言)”可知，此处指如果你必须同时使用两种语言，就必须抑制其中一种语言，以便使用另一种语言，juggle意为“使用”，故选A。 D McGill University researchers have discovered that changes in clouds are slightly relieving global warming. While greenhouse gases continue to cause temperatures to rise, a reduction in low-cloud cover over land has brought about a modest reduction of the amount of heat being trapped close to ground level. “We started this research to observationally confirm the increase of greenhouse effect of the Earth atmosphere,” said Yi Huang, associate professor in McGill University’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. “We indeed confirm that, although to our surprise we also found an offsetting (抵消的) effect due to changes in clouds.” “Without these cloud changes, the surface would warm even faster,” said Lei Liu, graduate student in McGill University’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and the first author of this study. “This work offers observational truth about how clouds affect warming, which can be used to improve climate models and guide environmental policies,” Liu added. To discover this surprising effect, the team used the measurements of a key radiative instrument, the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI), along with satellite data, climate models and a technique called “optimal spectral fingerprinting” co-designed by Yi Huang and Lei Liu to isolate the effects of clouds from other atmospheric processes. The researchers focused on longwave radiation, the heat energy the Earth emits back into the atmosphere. Usually, clouds trap some of this heat and send it back to the ground. But as the climate warms, there are fewer low clouds in some areas, which means less heat is returned to the surface. The Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences of the university looks to continue using their critical data for understanding regional climate dynamics and enhancing climate modelling. “Our research emphasizes the value of precise, long-term climate observations,” said John Gyakum, a professor. “This is essential for understanding the Earth’s response to global warming and making informed decisions for future generations.” The researchers cautioned that their discovery does not throw doubt on global warming. “It’s like having a heater that adjusts itself a little,” the researchers explained. “But even with this adjustment, the room is still heating up.” 12. What does the reduction in low-cloud cover over land lead to? A. An increase in global warming. B. A significant rise in temperature. C. A slight decrease of ground-level heat. D. A complete stop in the greenhouse effect. 13. According to Lei Liu, what can their findings apply to? A. Improving cloud coverage globally. B. Lowering greenhouse gas emissions. C. Forecasting short-term weather patterns. D. Improving climate prediction models. 14. Why did the researchers mention the heater? A. To caution the public. B. To prove their discovery useful but little. C. To praise their findings. D. To emphasize its importance. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Role of Clouds in Relieving Global Warming B. The Importance of Long-term Climate Observations C. The Impact of Greenhouse Gases on Global Warming D. The Accuracy of Climate Models in Predicting Warming 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了麦吉尔大学的研究人员发现云层变化在一定程度上缓解了全球变暖的现象。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While greenhouse gases continue to cause temperatures to rise, a reduction in low-cloud cover over land has brought about a modest reduction of the amount of heat being trapped close to ground level.(虽然温室气体继续导致气温上升，但陆地低云覆盖的减少使被困在地面附近的热量略有减少)”可知，陆地低云覆盖的减少会导致地面热量的轻微减少。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Without these cloud changes, the surface would warm even faster,” said Lei Liu, graduate student in McGill University’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and the first author of this study. “This work offers observational truth about how clouds affect warming, which can be used to improve climate models and guide environmental policies,” Liu added.(麦吉尔大学大气与海洋科学系的研究生、这项研究的第一作者Lei Liu说：“如果没有这些云层的变化，地表变暖的速度会更快。”“这项工作提供了关于云如何影响变暖的观测真相，可以用来改进气候模型和指导环境政策，”Liu补充说)”可知，Lei Liu认为他们的发现适用于改进气候预测模式。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers cautioned that their discovery does not throw doubt on global warming. “It’s like having a heater that adjusts itself a little,” the researchers explained. “But even with this adjustment, the room is still heating up.”(研究人员警告说，他们的发现并不会对全球变暖产生怀疑。研究人员解释说：“这就像有一个可以自我调节的加热器。”“但即使做出了这样的调整，房间里的温度仍在上升。”)”可知，研究人员提到加热器是为了证明他们的发现有用但收效甚微。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“McGill University researchers have discovered that changes in clouds are slightly relieving global warming. While greenhouse gases continue to cause temperatures to rise, a reduction in low-cloud cover over land has brought about a modest reduction of the amount of heat being trapped close to ground level.(麦吉尔大学的研究人员发现，云层的变化略微缓解了全球变暖。虽然温室气体继续导致气温上升，但陆地低云覆盖的减少使被困在地面附近的热量略有减少)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了麦吉尔大学的研究人员发现云层变化在一定程度上缓解了全球变暖的现象，所以A项“云在缓解全球变暖中的作用”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。 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。 As the nights draw in, our energy levels will dip, but the demands placed upon us probably won’t. Here’s how to avoid burnout. Tick off (给……画上钩) the basics ____16____Other activities, such as journaling, reading and yoga have been shown to lower cortisol (皮质醇) levels. Even a walk in the woods can help. Studies show that people who regularly go for walks in a forest or in green spaces have lower levels of cortisol. ____17____ The tiger is not outside the cave any more, but we think it is. Modern stresses such as deadlines lead to the same “fight or flight” response as the tiger. Learning to introduce small stresses and practise such as exposure to cold water helps us contextualise the threat and build tolerance. Mindful breathing also helps. It regulates the nervous system. Set boundaries and stick to them Good fences make good neighbors.____18____When we define what we need to feel secure and healthy and protect those parts of ourselves, we can do wonders for our well-being. Boundaries may include the hours you work, how much screen time you have, or when you go to bed. Avoid workplaces where burnout is normalised The latest State of the Global Workforce report suggests that 40% of the UK employees are stressed.____19____Watch out for red flags in the recruitment process. Poor communication, ghosting, endless rounds of interviews, repetitive questions and untrained interviewers are bad signs. Shape your definition of success Success is a slippery concept. For some, it’s about having meaningful relationships and fulfilling experiences; for others, it’s tied to career wins and financial gains. Defining what success means to you is a first step towards establishing priorities in life, enabling a focus of energy on the things that matter to you.____20____ A. Challenge your definition, too. B. Introduce healthy stress to your life. C. Try to avoid any stress that harms you. D. It’s also important to set boundaries with yourself. E. But how do we avoid going from one tiring job to another? F. So what can we do to leave a workplace that makes us tired? G. Getting enough sleep, eating well and exercising properly are the foundations of good health. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. E 20.

Her grandmother’s house was a simple cottage with a small yard, where an old cow named Daisy lived. Daisy was gentle and always seemed to understand when Lily talked to her. Lily loved visiting her grandmother, but she had never taken care of the animals alone before. One morning, Lily found her grandmother lying in bed, looking pale. “Grandma, what’s wrong?” Lily asked, her voice filled with worry. “I’m not feeling well, dear,” her grandmother replied softly. “I think I need to rest today. Can you take care of Daisy for me?” Lily nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll look after her.” Lily went outside to the yard. The morning was bright and sunny, but the air was cool. She found Daisy standing by the fence and looking at her with soft, trusting eyes. “Hey, Daisy,” Lily said, patting the cow’s head gently. “I’ll take care of you today.” Lily brought Daisy some fresh hay and watched as the cow ate it slowly. She felt a sense of pride as Daisy seemed to enjoy the food. But as the morning turned into afternoon, the sky suddenly darkened. A storm was coming. The wind picked up, and the first drops of rain began to fall. Lily could see Daisy starting to look anxious. She knew cows could get scared during storms. “It’s okay, Daisy,” Lily said, trying to sound calm. “Let me get you inside.” She led Daisy into the barn (畜棚), but the cow kept mooing (哞哞叫) nervously. Lily’s heart raced. She had no idea how to calm Daisy down. She tried patting her, but Daisy just kept mooing louder. Lily felt helpless. She had never been in this situation before. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, Lily remembered something her grandmother had told her once. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daisy’s mooing gradually softened, and she began to relax under Lily’s gentle touch. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Just then, Lily remembered something her grandmother had told her once. Sometimes, animals just need a gentle touch and a calm presence. Lily took a deep breath to calm herself down and walked up to Daisy. She gently placed her hand on Daisy’s soft, warm fur and began to touch her gently. “It’s okay, Daisy,” she whispered softly. “I’m here with you. You’re safe.” At that moment, Lily felt a stronger bond with Daisy. Daisy’s mooing gradually softened, and she began to relax under Lily’s gentle touch. She even took a few steps closer to Lily, as if seeking more comfort. Lily continued to touch her, consumed with indescribable pride and fulfillment as the storm raged outside. Eventually the storm ceased and the sun started to peek through the clouds, soaking the world in a serene and peaceful glow. It was at that time that Lily realized that conquering difficulties and being brave through attempts brought a great sense of achievement. Lily looked at Daisy, who was now calm and content, and said with a radiant smile, “We made it through the storm.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Lily在乡下照顾生病的祖母时，独自承担起照顾老牛Daisy的责任，并在暴风雨中努力安抚焦虑的Daisy的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那时，Lily想起了她祖母曾经告诉她的一件事。”可知，第一段可描写Lily回忆起祖母的话，并尝试用温柔的方式安抚Daisy，最终使Daisy逐渐平静下来。 ②由第二段首句内容“Daisy的叫声渐渐缓和了下来，在Lily的温柔抚摸下，她开始放松下来。”可知，第二段可描写Daisy在Lily的安抚下完全放松下来，暴风雨过后，Lily感受到征服困难带来的成就感，并与Daisy共同庆祝度过了难关。 2.续写线索： Lily回忆祖母的话——尝试安抚Daisy——Daisy逐渐平静——暴风雨继续——Daisy完全放松——暴风雨停止，Lily感到成就感 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①轻声说：whisper softly/murmur gently ②继续触摸：continue to touch/keep touching ③征服困难：conquer difficulties/overcome challenges 情绪类 ①温柔的：gentle/tender ②无助的：helpless/powerless 【点睛】【高分句型1】She even took a few steps closer to Lily, as if seeking more comfort.(运用了as if引导的状语从句的省略) 【高分句型2】Lily looked at Daisy, who was now calm and content, and said with a radiant smile, “We made it through the storm.”(运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 汉中市普通高中2025届高三年级质量检测考试 英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Field Day Field Day is a great place to have fun after lining your stomach with the latest vegan food in the super-chill village green area. But Field Day has serious muso credit too; it’s carefully picked out to include edgy guitar music shoegaze, alternative R &. B, smart rap, revered DJs and everything else that’s popular. It also boasts one of the best stages on the UK festival circuit. When: May 24 Wilderness Festival As the ever-magical Oxfordshire August getaway, Wilderness Festival has got better and better over the years. But the festival isn’t just about great sounds. From outdoor theatres to talks and debates, horse riding to yurt building, a lakeside spa to long-table banquets with leading chefs, this is much more than a music festival. Book now if you want in — it’s always a sell-out affair. When: July 31-August 3 Latitude Festival This Suffolk’s festival is a very family-friendly affair and the music programming is artfully mixed up with comedy, poetry, spoken word, dance and theatre. DJs are hidden in the woods for late night revelry (狂欢) and the famous colourful sheep wander the surrounding fields. Only downside: It’s kind of remote transport-wise, almost impossible to get to by any means other than Suffolk’s cows. When: July 24-27 Houghton Festival This intimate woodland party is one of the UK’s most praiseworthy new festivals, and it’s easy to see why. Everything you hear at Houghton is broadcast through the finest sound-systems, selected by Craig Richards, who organizes the event. Richards handpicks a killer cast of DJs, including some of the biggest and best names from house, techno, disco and more. There’s also visual art and sculpture to engage the eyes as well as ears. When: August 7-10 1. What makes Wilderness Festival more than just a music festival? A. Its remote location. B. Its variety of activities. C The famous colourful sheep. D. Its focus on edgy guitar music. 2. How can visitors reach Latitude Festival? A. On foot. B. By air. C. By riding a cow. D. By water. 3. When can music lovers enjoy music selected by Craig Richards? A. May 24. B. July 24. C. August 3. D. August 8. B The Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal competition asks the UK students one question: “If you were an engineer, what would you do?” And 12-year-old Rebecca Young had her answer right away. The young Scottish student wanted to help members of her community facing homelessness. Young entered the Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal competition as one of 70,000 engineering designs and won the Commendation Medal, an award determined by public vote. She also won a silver medal in the main competition. Young invented a solar-powered heated blanket with the goal of helping unhoused people keep warm. Young started by researching sleeping bags and backpacks, curious as to how they could be designed to offer even more warmth. Of course, heated blankets do exist, though they must be plugged (插入) into power supply to function to their full potential — a luxury homeless individuals often do not have. With assistance from an engineering firm, Young presented a prototype (模型) for the heated blanket. The design is integrated into a backpack and powered by the sun, allowing for easy on-the-go use. While simplistic in application, Young’s design is thorough. Using the average human sleep time of eight hours as a required run time, she conducted in-depth research on the most suitable batteries and solar panels to use in the prototype. The invention also includes a control circuit that automatically alternates the blanket between on-and-off states based on temperature readings to conserve battery life. The blanket itself is also designed similarly to a sleeping bag to allow for heat retention and to keep users warm amid any shifts or movements. The outer frame of the blanket’s backpack also offers more storage space to the user. While created with the intention to support people sleeping on the streets, Young also said the design could be applicable for camping, hiking, or traveling. “It felt amazing to see my drawing turn into something real. I never thought that could happen. Homelessness is a big problem that needs fixing, and if you see a homeless person, help in any way you can,” Young said. 4. What motivated Young to enter the competition? A. To win a medal. B. To keep homeless people warm. C. To improve her engineering skills. D. To design a new type of sleeping bags. 5. Why did Young’s blanket need to be solar-powered? A. To be more portable. B. To be cheaper to use. C. To be used without access to power supply. D. To be environmentally friendly. 6. What enables the heated blanket to automatically keep battery life? A. Its solar panel. B. Its storage space. C. Its unique shape. D. Its control circuit. 7. What can we say about Young’s heated blanket? A. Portable and practical. B. Cheap but complicated. C. Simple and Ineffective. D. Eco-friendly but expensive. C Encouraging bilingualism (双语能力) at home can have many cognitive benefits, which may be particularly helpful to kids with autism spectrum disorder (孤独症谱系障碍) or ASD, new research from the University of Miami’s College of Arts and Sciences indicates. A team of researchers led by Celia Romero, a graduate student in clinical psychology, explored the role of bilingualism in 112 children, including typically developing children and children with autism, between the ages of 7 to 12 years old. Overall, they found that children who spoke two or more languages often had stronger executive (执行的) functioning skills. This means they are able to control impulses (冲动) and to switch between different tasks more easily than children who only spoke one language. The results are significant because executive functioning skills are a key challenge for children on the spectrum but are important for all kids to thrive in school and later in the workplace. Yet, the team found the benefits of speaking more than one language were not limited to children with autism. The study also looked at the impact of multilingualism on core symptoms of autism, including perspective taking, restricted and repetitive behaviors and social communication. “We also found that multilingual children have enhanced perspective taking skills, or the ability to understand someone else’s thoughts or point of view,” Romero said. An idea called joint activation from the field of neuroscience can help explain the results. Prior research suggests that the bilingual brain has two languages constantly active and competing. As a result the daily experience of shifting between these languages is associated with enhanced executive control. This concept is also known as the “bilingual advantage”, according to the researchers. “If you have to juggle two languages, you have to suppress one in order to use the other. That’s the idea that inhibition — or the ability to stop yourself from doing something — might be enhanced by knowing two languages,” said another researcher. 8. What benefit does bilingualism bring to children with ASD? A. Social skill enhancement. B. Academic performance boost. C. Cognitive ability improvement. D. Language learning acceleration. 9. What can we say about executive functioning skills? A. They contribute to better leadership skills. B. They affect children’s future work life. C. They determine children’s language level. D. They enhance children’s physical abilities. 10. What may happen when speaking two languages? A. Learning delay. B. Language confusion. C. Delayed multitasking. D. Brain language competition. 11. What does the underlined word “juggle” in the last paragraph mean? A. Employ. B. Switch. C. Adapt. D. Explore. D McGill University researchers have discovered that changes in clouds are slightly relieving global warming. While greenhouse gases continue to cause temperatures to rise, a reduction in low-cloud cover over land has brought about a modest reduction of the amount of heat being trapped close to ground level. “We started this research to observationally confirm the increase of greenhouse effect of the Earth atmosphere,” said Yi Huang, associate professor in McGill University’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. “We indeed confirm that, although to our surprise we also found an offsetting (抵消的) effect due to changes in clouds.” “Without these cloud changes, the surface would warm even faster,” said Lei Liu, graduate student in McGill University’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and the first author of this study. “This work offers observational truth about how clouds affect warming, which can be used to improve climate models and guide environmental policies,” Liu added. To discover this surprising effect, the team used the measurements of a key radiative instrument, the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI), along with satellite data, climate models and a technique called “optimal spectral fingerprinting” co-designed by Yi Huang and Lei Liu to isolate the effects of clouds from other atmospheric processes. The researchers focused on longwave radiation, the heat energy the Earth emits back into the atmosphere. Usually, clouds trap some of this heat and send it back to the ground. But as the climate warms, there are fewer low clouds in some areas, which means less heat is returned to the surface. The Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences of the university looks to continue using their critical data for understanding regional climate dynamics and enhancing climate modelling. “Our research emphasizes the value of precise, long-term climate observations,” said John Gyakum, a professor. “This is essential for understanding the Earth’s response to global warming and making informed decisions for future generations.” The researchers cautioned that their discovery does not throw doubt on global warming. “It’s like having a heater that adjusts itself a little,” the researchers explained. “But even with this adjustment, the room is still heating up.” 12. What does the reduction in low-cloud cover over land lead to? A. An increase in global warming. B. A significant rise in temperature. C A slight decrease of ground-level heat. D. A complete stop in the greenhouse effect. 13. According to Lei Liu, what can their findings apply to? A. Improving cloud coverage globally. B. Lowering greenhouse gas emissions. C. Forecasting short-term weather patterns. D. Improving climate prediction models. 14. Why did the researchers mention the heater? A. To caution the public. B. To prove their discovery useful but little. C. To praise their findings. D. To emphasize its importance. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Role of Clouds in Relieving Global Warming B. The Importance of Long-term Climate Observations C. The Impact of Greenhouse Gases on Global Warming D. The Accuracy of Climate Models in Predicting Warming 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。 As the nights draw in, our energy levels will dip, but the demands placed upon us probably won’t. Here’s how to avoid burnout. Tick off (给……画上钩) the basics ____16____Other activities, such as journaling, reading and yoga have been shown to lower cortisol (皮质醇) levels. Even a walk in the woods can help. Studies show that people who regularly go for walks in a forest or in green spaces have lower levels of cortisol. ____17____ The tiger is not outside the cave any more, but we think it is. Modern stresses such as deadlines lead to the same “fight or flight” response as the tiger. Learning to introduce small stresses and practise such as exposure to cold water helps us contextualise the threat and build tolerance. Mindful breathing also helps. It regulates the nervous system. Set boundaries and stick to them Good fences make good neighbors.____18____When we define what we need to feel secure and healthy and protect those parts of ourselves we can do wonders for our well-being. Boundaries may include the hours you work, how much screen time you have, or when you go to bed. Avoid workplaces where burnout is normalised The latest State of the Global Workforce report suggests that 40% of the UK employees are stressed.____19____Watch out for red flags in the recruitment process. Poor communication, ghosting, endless rounds of interviews, repetitive questions and untrained interviewers are bad signs. Shape your definition of success Success is a slippery concept. For some, it’s about having meaningful relationships and fulfilling experiences; for others, it’s tied to career wins and financial gains. Defining what success means to you is a first step towards establishing priorities in life, enabling a focus of energy on the things that matter to you.____20____ A. Challenge your definition, too. B. Introduce healthy stress to your life. C. Try to avoid any stress that harms you. D. It’s also important to set boundaries with yourself. E. But how do we avoid going from one tiring job to another? F. So what can we do to leave a workplace that makes us tired? G. Getting enough sleep, eating well and exercising properly are the foundations of good health. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Tanner Ater heard a loud bang outside his apartment and rushed to investigate.

Her grandmother’s house was a simple cottage with a small yard, where an old cow named Daisy lived. Daisy was gentle and always seemed to understand when Lily talked to her. Lily loved visiting her grandmother, but she had never taken care of the animals alone before. One morning, Lily found her grandmother lying in bed, looking pale. “Grandma, what’s wrong?” Lily asked, her voice filled with worry. “I’m not feeling well, dear,” her grandmother replied softly. “I think I need to rest today. Can you take care of Daisy for me?” Lily nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll look after her.” Lily went outside to the yard. The morning was bright and sunny, but the air was cool. She found Daisy standing by the fence and looking at her with soft, trusting eyes. “Hey, Daisy,” Lily said, patting the cow’s head gently. “I’ll take care of you today.” Lily brought Daisy some fresh hay and watched as the cow ate it slowly. She felt a sense of pride as Daisy seemed to enjoy the food. But as the morning turned into afternoon, the sky suddenly darkened. A storm was coming. The wind picked up, and the first drops of rain began to fall. Lily could see Daisy starting to look anxious. She knew cows could get scared during storms. “It’s okay, Daisy,” Lily said, trying to sound calm. “Let me get you inside.” She led Daisy into the barn (畜棚), but the cow kept mooing (哞哞叫) nervously. Lily’s heart raced. She had no idea how to calm Daisy down. She tried patting her, but Daisy just kept mooing louder. Lily felt helpless. She had never been in this situation before. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, Lily remembered something her grandmother had told her once. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daisy’s mooing gradually softened, and she began to relax under Lily’s gentle touch. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
