While city students join science workshops and university programs, rural students face growing challenges. Reports show city schools offer 4.7 times more weekend activities than rural schools. In Shanghai, students like Lin Hao build drones in university labs. However, in Hebei, Wang Yiming studies through online classes with poor internet. Although the policy aims to encourage creativity, 72% of top universities still focus on exam scores, leading to secret tutoring. For example, some parents in Chengdu hold “fake birthday parties” to hide tutoring sessions. Top schools use weekends for college applications, such as internships at tech companies. But rural schools use old science tools, and 68% of their teachers feel unsure about new programs. Online courses for rural students cannot replace real labs. A teacher in Yunnan said, “My students watch 3D printing videos but have no printers.” Companies like ByteDance hire teens who create apps on weekends. Yet most opportunities are in big cities—only 3% of awards go to non-coastal areas. Fudan University now accepts robot competition awards, but its 2024 computer science entry score jumped 11 points, requiring both high grades and extracurricular skills. Emotionally, weekends bring mixed outcomes: Shenzhen’s Zhao Min finds solace (慰藉) in hiking, yet Wuhan reports a 40% rise in “weekend guilt syndrome”. Teachers also face challenges, transitioning from exam drills to experimental workshops without guidance. Compared to Finland (which trained teachers) and South Korea (which improved creativity through activities), China’s reform lacks support. However, signs of change exist, like exam questions about AI. Still, 57% of parents worry the policy weakens academic focus. On weekends, Shanghai teens design future cities or study with translation pens. The weekend has become China’s new education frontier — a laboratory of possibility and risk, where every Saturday morning holds the weight of a generation’s dreams. 4. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To criticize China’s weekend policy for adding school stress. B. To analyze the mixed impacts of the two-day weekend policy. C. To promote tech innovation in many rural schools. D. To compare China’s education system with Finland’s. 5. What can be inferred about the underground tutoring industry? A. It has been completely eliminated by the policy. B. It is only popular in coastal provinces. C. It focuses on improving students’ mental health. D. Parents think of ways to disguise tutoring. 6. The bold phrase “weekend guilt syndrome” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________. A. stress from unproductive free time B. joy from joining weekend clubs C. excitement about new hobbies D. pride in academic achievements 7. What is the author’s attitude toward the policy’s future? A. Entirely optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Strongly opposed. D. Hopeful yet concerned. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国2021年推行的给高中生双休政策在全国范围内引发的讨论，分析了该政策带来的积极和消极影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“China’s 2021 policy giving high school students two-day weekends has caused nationwide discussion. While city students join science workshops and university programs, rural students face growing challenges.(中国2021年给高中生两天周末休息的政策引发了全国范围内的讨论。城市学生参加科学研讨会和大学课程，而农村学生则面临越来越大的挑战。)”和接下来文章从城市学生和农村学生的不同情况、重点学校和农村学校的不同情况、科技公司和大城市提供的机会、情感方面的影响以及与芬兰和韩国的比较等多个角度分析了该政策带来的积极和消极影响可知，这篇文章的主要目的是分析周末双休政策的混合影响。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Although the policy aims to encourage creativity, 72% of top universities still focus on exam scores, leading to secret tutoring. For example, some parents in Chengdu hold “fake birthday parties” to hide tutoring sessions.(尽管该政策旨在鼓励创造力，但72%的顶尖大学仍然注重考试成绩，这导致了秘密辅导的出现。例如，成都的一些家长举办“假生日派对”来掩盖辅导课程。)”可知，家长们想方设法掩盖辅导行为。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Emotionally, weekends bring mixed outcomes: Shenzhen’s Zhao Min finds solace in hiking, yet Wuhan reports a 40% rise in “weekend guilt syndrome”. Teachers also face challenges, transitioning from exam drills to experimental workshops without guidance.(从情感上讲，周末带来的结果好坏参半：深圳的赵敏在徒步旅行中找到了慰藉，但武汉的“weekend guilt syndrome”报告率上升了40%。教师也面临着挑战，在没有指导的情况下从考试训练转向实验工作坊。）”可知，这种情绪可能是来自于周末的空闲时间没有得到充分利用，从而产生了压力或内疚感，由此可知，weekend guilt syndrome指的是学生因未能有效利用空闲时间而产生的压力或内疚感。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On weekends, Shanghai teens design future cities or study with translation pens. The weekend has become China’s new education frontier — a laboratory of possibility and risk, where every Saturday morning holds the weight of a generation’s dreams.(在周末，上海的青少年设计未来的城市或用翻译笔学习。周末已成为中国教育的新前沿——一个充满可能性和风险的实验室，每个周六的早晨都承载着一代人的梦想。)”可知，作者对该政策未来的希望。同时，文中也提到了该政策带来的一些挑战和问题，如农村学生面临的挑战、地下辅导行业的出现等，这体现了作者对该政策未来的担忧。由此可知，作者对该政策的未来既充满希望又感到担忧。故选D。 C On Europe’s largest artificial lake near Alqueva, Portugal, a remarkable solar energy project is proving that clean technology and nature can work hand in hand. Developed by energy company EDP, this floating solar plant — once questioned for its high costs — now demonstrates how renewable energy can adapt to modern challenges while protecting the environment. The project’s first phase uses 12,000 solar panels fixed on floating platforms made partly from recycled plastic and local wood. These platforms connect to a smart energy system linked to a nearby hydroelectric (水力发电的) dam. This connection allows the solar plant to skip the lengthy process of joining traditional solar farms to power grids, speeding up clean energy delivery to communities. Building solar farms on water, however, comes with unique difficulties. Engineers must design structures strong enough to survive storms, waves, and constant water exposure, which increases costs. Nature itself adds another challenge: fish in the lake attract birds, whose droppings cover the panels and block sunlight. To solve this, the team uses remote-controlled cleaning robots and is testing models that operate independently. Despite these challenges, floating solar offers clear benefits. By using space on dam reservoirs, it avoids taking up valuable land needed for farming or housing. Water naturally cools the panels, making them 5%–15% more efficient than land-based systems — a key advantage for energy production. Additionally, the shade from the panels reduces water evaporation by up to 70%, helping conserve resources in dry regions. EDP has big plans for the technology. While the current project produces 5 megawatts (MW) of power — enough for about 1,500 homes — a second phase will expand this to 70 MW by 2025. Experts predict floating solar could reach 60,000 MW globally by 2031. Though minor compared to the world’s total solar capacity (1.6 million MW), its role is vital. As one report notes, “Every solution matters in the fight against climate change.” By combining solar power with hydropower, this project offers a practical blueprint for a sustainable future — one where technology and nature coexist to light up our world. 8. What is the key feature of the Alqueva project’s design? A. Complete use of recycled materials for platforms. B. Full automation of energy storage processes. C. Connection to a nearby hydroelectric system. D. Largest solar panels ever used in Europe. 9. What problem is caused by birds near the floating solar panels? A. Reduced sunlight reaching the panels. B. Damage to the platforms during storms. C. Harm to the lake’s fish populations. D. Interference with robot operations. 10. The underlined phrase “minor compared to” suggests that floating solar’s capacity is ______. A. underestimated by energy experts B. visually smaller than land systems C. growing faster than expected D. much less than current solar totals 11 What is the author’s attitude toward floating solar technology? A. Supportive of its role in climate efforts. B. Overly optimistic about its global impact. C. Critical due to high maintenance costs. D. Neutral about its environmental benefits. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一个水力发电站的基本情况和带来的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These platforms connect to a smart energy system linked to a nearby hydroelectric (水力发电的) dam. (这些平台连接到与附近水电站相连的智能能源系统。)”可知，项目设计的核心特点是与水电站的直接连接。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Nature itself adds another challenge: fish in the lake attract birds, whose droppings cover the panels and block sunlight. (大自然本身也带来了另一个挑战：湖中的鱼吸引了鸟类，它们的粪便覆盖了面板，阻挡了阳光。)”可知，鸟粪遮挡阳光导致发电效率下降。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Experts predict floating solar could reach 60,000 MW globally by 2031. (专家预测，到2031年，全球浮动太阳能将达到6万兆瓦。)”以及后文“the world’s total solar capacity (1.6 million MW) (全球太阳能总容量（160万兆瓦）)”可知，对比浮动太阳能2031年预期产能(60.000MW)与全球总装机量(1.6millionMW)。故划线词“minor compared to”意为远小于，强调规模差距。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“By combining solar power with hydropower, this project offers a practical blueprint for a sustainable future — one where technology and nature coexist to light up our world. (通过将太阳能与水力发电相结合，该项目为可持续发展的未来提供了一个实用的蓝图——一个技术与自然共存，照亮我们世界的未来。)”可知，作者支持其环保价值。故选A。 D The human brain tends to play favorites. Its prejudices, well demonstrated by psychological studies, include the “halo effect”: if we like a certain quality in a person, we’re more likely to perceive their unrelated traits positively as well. There’s also “affinity bias,” which refers to how we tend to favor people with backgrounds or characteristics similar to our own. Now a study shows how cognitive biases (认知偏见) could profoundly affect our most basic learning and memory processes. “What we show is not that people are biased; that we already kind of know,” says Inês Bramão, a psychologist at Sweden’s Lund University and co-author of the new study, published in Communications Psychology. “We give an explanation of why people are biased. The fundamental mechanism may be that we are more likely to expand our knowledge based on information provided by people we like.” Such bias could help explain how people develop strongly polarized views. Study participants first chose “teammates” and “opponents” from among images of random faces based on their like or dislike of the faces. Then they created imaginary personas for each chosen face, giving characteristics and identities they liked to teammates and ones they disliked to opponents. Next, participants viewed images of faces in various backgrounds alongside household objects, simulating someone “showing” the item. Later, they matched objects that shared backgrounds (without faces) to test “memory integration” — linking past memories to form new inferences. They performed better when linking objects initially “presented” by liked personas, revealing a bias in associating prior knowledge with “partially related” new events. Researchers suggest this explains opinion polarization: relying heavily on information from likeminded individuals (due to similarities) allows unchallenged beliefs to narrow perspectives. Psychologist Charles Stone of the City University of New York says that this study is just the beginning and that further research could move beyond images to test learning with real-world events. “This could have important implications for how people make inferences and connect dots about their beliefs that then match their worldviews,” he says. 12. What is the “halo effect” as described in the passage? A. A bias where we associate a person’s traits based on their appearance. B. A tendency to dislike people with backgrounds similar to our own. C. A situation where we perceive others’ traits positively if we like them. D A psychological phenomenon where we remember faces better if we like them. 13. What does the study by Inês Bramão and colleagues aim to explain? A. The existence of cognitive biases in people. B. The fundamental mechanism behind cognitive biases. C. How people’s opinions become polarized. D. The relationship between cognitive biases and memory. 14. In the study, what did participants do when they were asked to create imaginary personas? A. They related characteristics to randomly chosen faces. B. They matched faces with common household objects. C. They linked objects with backgrounds without faces. D. They assigned traits to faces based on their impressions. 15. What does Charles Stone suggest for future research in this area? A. It should focus on cognitive biases in real-world application. B. It should only consider the effects of the halo effect. C. It should disregard the findings of the current study. D. It should explore the impact of memory integration on learning. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于认知偏见如何深刻影响人类基本学习和记忆过程的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Its prejudices, well demonstrated by psychological studies, include the “halo effect”: if we like a certain quality in a person, we’re more likely to perceive their unrelated traits positively as well.(心理学研究充分证明了这些偏见，包括“光环效应”：如果我们喜欢一个人的某种特质，我们就更有可能也积极地看待他们的其他无关特质。)”可知，“光环效应”是指如果我们喜欢某人，就会积极看待他们的其他特征。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We give an explanation of why people are biased. The fundamental mechanism may be that we are more likely to expand our knowledge based on information provided by people we like.(我们解释了人们为什么会有偏见。其基本机制可能是，我们更倾向于根据我们喜欢的人提供的信息来扩展我们的知识。)”可知，Inês Bramão及其同事的研究旨在解释认知偏见背后的基本机制。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then they created imaginary personas for each chosen face, giving characteristics and identities they liked to teammates and ones they disliked to opponents.(然后，他们为每张选中的面孔创建了虚构的人物，把他们喜欢的特征和身份赋予队友，把他们不喜欢的特征和身份赋予对手。)”可知，参与者是根据自己的印象给面孔赋予特征。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Psychologist Charles Stone of the City University of New York says that this study is just the beginning and that further research could move beyond images to test learning with real-world events.(纽约城市大学的心理学家Charles Stone表示，这项研究只是一个开始，未来的研究可以超越图像，通过现实世界的事件来测试学习。)”可知，Charles Stone建议未来的研究应该关注认知偏见在现实世界中的应用。故选A。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Make Me-time a Must-do When did you last take a moment to breathe deeply or truly enjoy your morning tea between tasks?

After years of being overlooked in school plays, I longed for the spotlight. Above all, I hoped the arrogant Ethan, who always got the leading roles and apparently had a direct line to Ms. Thorne’s favor, wouldn’t choose my favorite monologue, Hamlet’s “To be or not to be.” As fate would have it, Ms. Thorne, seemingly unaware of my disappointment, announced Ethan was indeed performing “To be or not to be.” I went up to Ms. Thorne to voice my frustration, but she just patted my shoulder casually. I felt she treated me as though I would hold the entire class back if I got too much attention. She wasn’t mean or abusive, but she just gave me the impression the entire school was built for Ethan to succeed, and the rest of us were extras. Needless to say, I didn’t look forward to weeks of rehearsal watching Ethan effortlessly practising his monologue, but I decided to prove Ms. Thorne wrong. The competition required us to not only memorize the monologue but also develop an understanding of the character’s motivation, explain the text, and deliver a performance that was both emotionally moving and intellectually insightful. The judges grade would be shared with Ms. Thorne. When I realized that my new monologue of Romeo’s (罗密欧的) “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!” would directly compete with Ethan’s “To be or not to be”, I was uneasy. Here was this talented student who had a reputation for acting, the exact opposite of me. I was outmatched. I actually wanted to give up to avoid an embarrassing failure. However, after days of thinking, I made up my mind to write a new monologue to not only include Shakespeare’s spirit but also authentic me! I had no idea if I could succeed or not, but at least I had a new purpose to strive for.  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。 The next few days saw me immersed in the school library. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Ms. Thorne’ advice, my monologue was finished, but it was just the beginning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next few days saw me immersed in the school library. Surrounded by dusty books and the soft sounds of turning pages, I struggled with words, trying to build something new from the pieces of Shakespeare I had studied. However, finding my own voice felt impossibly difficult. To my surprise, Ms. Thorne, aware of my difficulty, took the initiative to offer advice. She said with concern, “You need to connect it to your own experiences.” Her words echoed in my mind, guiding me to dig deep, to unearth the feelings of frustration and longing that had always hidden beneath the surface. I crafted a new story about Romeo, pouring into it all my feelings of this competition. I wrote, rewrote, and refined countless lines, fueled by determination and a fear of failure. Thanks to Ms. Thorne’ advice, my monologue was finished, but it was just the beginning. Then came the rehearsals, to which I poured my heart and soul. I struggled to convey my inner emotion and constantly worried that I was falling short. Ethan, meanwhile, seemed effortlessly confident, gliding through his Hamlet speech with ease. The day of the competition finally arrived. As I stood backstage in anxiety, listening to Ethan’s flawless performance, a wave of doubt washed over me. But then, as I stepped onto the stage, a sense of calmness settled in. It didn’t matter if I won or lost; what mattered was that I had found my own voice, dared to create something uniquely mine, and proved my own value. The result showed that I did not have to compete with Ethan; this was never about him, but about me. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在得知学校举办年度莎士比亚戏剧独白比赛后，渴望在一直被忽视的情况下赢得比赛获得关注，尤其不希望总是得主角且受老师宠爱的傲慢的伊桑选择自己心仪的《哈姆雷特》中“生存还是毁灭”的独白，但事与愿违，伊桑还是选了这段独白。作者向索恩老师表达不满，却未得到重视，感觉自己被忽视。尽管不期待看伊桑轻松排练的几周，但作者决定证明索恩老师的看法是错误的。当意识到自己选的罗密欧的独白将与伊桑的竞争时，作者因觉得自己不如伊桑而感到不安甚至想放弃。经过思考，作者最终下定决心创作一个既包含莎士比亚精神又展现真实自我的新独白，尽管不知能否成功，但有了新的奋斗目标 。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“接下来的几天，我沉浸在学校的图书馆里。”可知，第一段可描写作者自己摸索的过程中遇到了困境，索恩老师给出建议，作者找到了方向，反复雕琢自己的台词。 ②由第二段首句内容“多亏了索恩老师的建议，我的独白完成了，但这仅仅是个开始。”可知，第二段可描写作者比赛前的心理活动以及经过这件事的感悟。 2.续写线索：苦苦摸索——老师给出建议——反复雕琢台词——复杂的心理活动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试做某事：try to do sth/attempt to do sth ②引导：guide/instruct ③重要：matter/count ④展示：show/display 情绪类 ①担心：worry/concern ②令某人惊讶的是：to one’s surprise/to one’s astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] I struggled to convey my inner emotion and constantly worried that I was falling short.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] As I stood backstage in anxiety, listening to Ethan’s flawless performance, a wave of doubt washed over me.（运用了as引导时间状语从句，现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 珠海市第二中学2025届高三年级考前冲刺卷 英语学科 2025年4月 本试卷共10页，满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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。 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A American YouTuber IShowSpeed, with 37 million subscribers, ignited global interest by launching his China tour on March 24, streaming unfiltered experiences across Shanghai and Beijing. His Shanghai livestream, lasting six hours, featured a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra test drive (1,526 horsepower), a table tennis match with Jackson Wang, and awe at Sichuan’s “Bian Lian” face-changing art. Culinary highlights included KFC and traditional dumplings. In Beijing, he explored the Great Wall and Forbidden City in traditional attire, tasted sweet-sour “Tanghulu,” and praised China’s high-speed rail WiFi. The Shanghai stream drew 5.4 million YouTube views, while the Beijing broadcast hit 3.21 million views within two hours, showcasing youth engagement. Professor Li Haidong emphasized the tour’s role in countering Western stereotypes by revealing China’s modernity and cultural richness. This aligns with China’s tourism push amid geopolitical tensions. Li noted digital influencers’ power to foster grassroots understanding, contrasting China’s stability with U.S. polarization. Fans hailed the streams as antidotes to biased narratives, with one stating, “He’s dispelling Western propaganda in 6 hours.” 1. How quickly did IShowSpeed’s Beijing livestream reach 3.21 million views? A. By March 24. B. After six hours. C. Within two hours. D. During the broadcast. 2. What is the primary significance of IShowSpeed’s tour according to experts? A. Promoting Chinese electric vehicles globally. B. Reducing cultural misunderstandings. C. Highlighting China’s political policies. D. Competing with traditional media. 3. Which title best captures the article’s central idea? A. “IShowSpeed’s Culinary Adventures in China” B. “China’s Tourism Strategy Gains Momentum” C. “Digital Influencers Reshaping Global Perceptions of China” D. “Jackson Wang’s Role in Cultural Diplomacy” B China’s 2021 policy giving high school students two-day weekends has caused nationwide discussion. While city students join science workshops and university programs, rural students face growing challenges. Reports show city schools offer 4.7 times more weekend activities than rural schools. In Shanghai, students like Lin Hao build drones in university labs. However, in Hebei, Wang Yiming studies through online classes with poor internet. Although the policy aims to encourage creativity, 72% of top universities still focus on exam scores, leading to secret tutoring. For example, some parents in Chengdu hold “fake birthday parties” to hide tutoring sessions. Top schools use weekends for college applications, such as internships at tech companies. But rural schools use old science tools, and 68% of their teachers feel unsure about new programs. Online courses for rural students cannot replace real labs. A teacher in Yunnan said, “My students watch 3D printing videos but have no printers.” Companies like ByteDance hire teens who create apps on weekends. Yet most opportunities are in big cities—only 3% of awards go to non-coastal areas. Fudan University now accepts robot competition awards, but its 2024 computer science entry score jumped 11 points, requiring both high grades and extracurricular skills. Emotionally, weekends bring mixed outcomes: Shenzhen’s Zhao Min finds solace (慰藉) in hiking, yet Wuhan reports a 40% rise in “weekend guilt syndrome”. Teachers also face challenges, transitioning from exam drills to experimental workshops without guidance. Compared to Finland (which trained teachers) and South Korea (which improved creativity through activities), China’s reform lacks support. However, signs of change exist, like exam questions about AI. Still, 57% of parents worry the policy weakens academic focus. On weekends, Shanghai teens design future cities or study with translation pens. The weekend has become China’s new education frontier — a laboratory of possibility and risk, where every Saturday morning holds the weight of a generation’s dreams. 4. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To criticize China’s weekend policy for adding school stress. B. To analyze the mixed impacts of the two-day weekend policy. C. To promote tech innovation in many rural schools. D. To compare China’s education system with Finland’s. 5. What can be inferred about the underground tutoring industry? A. It has been completely eliminated by the policy. B. It is only popular in coastal provinces. C. It focuses on improving students’ mental health. D. Parents think of ways to disguise tutoring. 6. The bold phrase “weekend guilt syndrome” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________. A. stress from unproductive free time B. joy from joining weekend clubs C. excitement about new hobbies D. pride in academic achievements 7 What is the author’s attitude toward the policy’s future? A. Entirely optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Strongly opposed. D. Hopeful yet concerned. C On Europe’s largest artificial lake near Alqueva, Portugal, a remarkable solar energy project is proving that clean technology and nature can work hand in hand. Developed by energy company EDP, this floating solar plant — once questioned for its high costs — now demonstrates how renewable energy can adapt to modern challenges while protecting the environment. The project’s first phase uses 12,000 solar panels fixed on floating platforms made partly from recycled plastic and local wood. These platforms connect to a smart energy system linked to a nearby hydroelectric (水力发电的) dam. This connection allows the solar plant to skip the lengthy process of joining traditional solar farms to power grids, speeding up clean energy delivery to communities. Building solar farms on water, however, comes with unique difficulties. Engineers must design structures strong enough to survive storms, waves, and constant water exposure, which increases costs. Nature itself adds another challenge: fish in the lake attract birds, whose droppings cover the panels and block sunlight. To solve this, the team uses remote-controlled cleaning robots and is testing models that operate independently. Despite these challenges, floating solar offers clear benefits. By using space on dam reservoirs, it avoids taking up valuable land needed for farming or housing. Water naturally cools the panels, making them 5%–15% more efficient than land-based systems — a key advantage for energy production. Additionally, the shade from the panels reduces water evaporation by up to 70%, helping conserve resources in dry regions. EDP has big plans for the technology. While the current project produces 5 megawatts (MW) of power — enough for about 1,500 homes — a second phase will expand this to 70 MW by 2025. Experts predict floating solar could reach 60,000 MW globally by 2031. Though minor compared to the world’s total solar capacity (1.6 million MW), its role is vital. As one report notes, “Every solution matters in the fight against climate change.” By combining solar power with hydropower, this project offers a practical blueprint for a sustainable future — one where technology and nature coexist to light up our world. 8. What is the key feature of the Alqueva project’s design? A. Complete use of recycled materials for platforms. B. Full automation of energy storage processes. C. Connection to a nearby hydroelectric system. D. Largest solar panels ever used in Europe. 9. What problem is caused by birds near the floating solar panels? A. Reduced sunlight reaching the panels. B. Damage to the platforms during storms. C. Harm to the lake’s fish populations. D. Interference with robot operations. 10. The underlined phrase “minor compared to” suggests that floating solar’s capacity is ______. A. underestimated by energy experts B. visually smaller than land systems C. growing faster than expected D. much less than current solar totals 11. What is the author’s attitude toward floating solar technology? A. Supportive of its role in climate efforts. B. Overly optimistic about its global impact. C. Critical due to high maintenance costs. D. Neutral about its environmental benefits. D The human brain tends to play favorites. Its prejudices, well demonstrated by psychological studies, include the “halo effect”: if we like a certain quality in a person, we’re more likely to perceive their unrelated traits positively as well. There’s also “affinity bias,” which refers to how we tend to favor people with backgrounds or characteristics similar to our own. Now a study shows how cognitive biases (认知偏见) could profoundly affect our most basic learning and memory processes. “What we show is not that people are biased; that we already kind of know,” says Inês Bramão, a psychologist at Sweden’s Lund University and co-author of the new study, published in Communications Psychology. “We give an explanation of why people are biased. The fundamental mechanism may be that we are more likely to expand our knowledge based on information provided by people we like.” Such bias could help explain how people develop strongly polarized views. Study participants first chose “teammates” and “opponents” from among images of random faces based on their like or dislike of the faces. Then they created imaginary personas for each chosen face, giving characteristics and identities they liked to teammates and ones they disliked to opponents. Next, participants viewed images of faces in various backgrounds alongside household objects, simulating someone “showing” the item. Later, they matched objects that shared backgrounds (without faces) to test “memory integration” — linking past memories to form new inferences. They performed better when linking objects initially “presented” by liked personas, revealing a bias in associating prior knowledge with “partially related” new events. Researchers suggest this explains opinion polarization: relying heavily on information from likeminded individuals (due to similarities) allows unchallenged beliefs to narrow perspectives. Psychologist Charles Stone of the City University of New York says that this study is just the beginning and that further research could move beyond images to test learning with real-world events. “This could have important implications for how people make inferences and connect dots about their beliefs that then match their worldviews,” he says. 12. What is the “halo effect” as described in the passage? A. A bias where we associate a person’s traits based on their appearance. B. A tendency to dislike people with backgrounds similar to our own. C A situation where we perceive others’ traits positively if we like them. D. A psychological phenomenon where we remember faces better if we like them. 13. What does the study by Inês Bramão and colleagues aim to explain? A. The existence of cognitive biases in people. B. The fundamental mechanism behind cognitive biases. C. How people’s opinions become polarized. D. The relationship between cognitive biases and memory. 14. In the study what did participants do when they were asked to create imaginary personas? A. They related characteristics to randomly chosen faces. B. They matched faces with common household objects. C. They linked objects with backgrounds without faces. D. They assigned traits to faces based on their impressions. 15. What does Charles Stone suggest for future research in this area? A. It should focus on cognitive biases in real-world application. B. It should only consider the effects of the halo effect. C. It should disregard the findings of the current study. D. It should explore the impact of memory integration on learning. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Make Me-time a Must-do When did you last take a moment to breathe deeply or truly enjoy your morning tea between tasks?

After years of being overlooked in school plays, I longed for the spotlight. Above all, I hoped the arrogant Ethan, who always got the leading roles and apparently had a direct line to Ms. Thorne’s favor, wouldn’t choose my favorite monologue, Hamlet’s “To be or not to be.” As fate would have it, Ms. Thorne, seemingly unaware of my disappointment, announced Ethan was indeed performing “To be or not to be.” I went up to Ms. Thorne to voice my frustration, but she just patted my shoulder casually. I felt she treated me as though I would hold the entire class back if I got too much attention. She wasn’t mean or abusive, but she just gave me the impression the entire school was built for Ethan to succeed, and the rest of us were extras. Needless to say, I didn’t look forward to weeks of rehearsal watching Ethan effortlessly practising his monologue, but I decided to prove Ms. Thorne wrong. The competition required us to not only memorize the monologue but also develop an understanding of the character’s motivation, explain the text, and deliver a performance that was both emotionally moving and intellectually insightful. The judges grade would be shared with Ms. Thorne. When I realized that my new monologue of Romeo’s (罗密欧的) “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!” would directly compete with Ethan’s “To be or not to be”, I was uneasy. Here was this talented student who had a reputation for acting, the exact opposite of me. I was outmatched. I actually wanted to give up to avoid an embarrassing failure. However, after days of thinking, I made up my mind to write a new monologue to not only include Shakespeare’s spirit but also authentic me! I had no idea if I could succeed or not, but at least I had a new purpose to strive for.  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。 The next few days saw me immersed in the school library. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Ms. Thorne’ advice, my monologue was finished, but it was just the beginning. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
