A Suggestion for School Development
Good afternoon, everyone! Today, I would like to talk about the phenomenon where some school gardening tasks are carried out by parents instead of students. In some classes, parents are responsible for planting vegetables, which, although this keeps our gardens tidy, it means students miss out on valuable hands-on experience, teamwork, and a sense of pride in their work.
To resolve this, schools could schedule garden tasks as part of activity classes, where students can plant, weed, and harvest under teacher guidance. Also, we could organize practical activities related to gardening to enhance students` sense of responsibility and participation. Besides, parents could act as advisors instead of laborers, sharing their knowledge or guiding small groups, rather than doing the work themselves, which fosters our growth and keeps the initiative meaningful.
By making these changes, we`ll not only grow vegetables but also grow as a community. Let`s reclaim our gardens and learn by doing!
Thank you!
第二节:读后续写(满分 25 分)
After hearing Gran`s story, Suzi felt lost in thought. She began to understand that her mom`s concern wasn`t just about fun, but about her safety and responsibility. Gran had helped her realize that sometimes the best solutions come from seeing things from both sides. Suzi didn`t want her mom to feel like she needed to constantly monitor her, but she also wanted to show that she could be responsible. Gran, noticing her deep reflection, suggested, “Why don`t you
talk to your mom? Maybe she’ll listen.”
With Gran`s encouragement, Suzi quietly went to her mom`s room and knocked softly. Her mom looked up, surprised, but smiled when she saw Suzi. “Mom, I really want to go to the party, but I understand you`re worried,” Suzi said. Her mom sighed, her expression softening. “I just want you to be safe,” she replied. They talked about their concerns and reached an agreement: Suzi could go, but she`d check in regularly. As Suzi left her mom`s room, a warm feeling filled her. She knew their bond was stronger than before.
湖北省高中名校联盟 2025 届高三第四次联合测评听力部分录音稿
Text 1
M: What do you want to see next? The monkeys are in that direction and the elephants are over there.
W: Don`t you think we should find a café before we look at any more animals? I haven`t eaten anything since we left home this morning.
Text 2
M: When I was in the supermarket, I ran into some people we met at the wedding last week.
W: Which ones?
M: Carole and Tony. Do you remember the older couple? They asked if we`d like to go out to a restaurant with them next week.
Text 3
W: So, Mr. Jones, tell me more about the secret of your big vegetables.
M: There`s no secret. I raise them from seed, feed them well and this is the result.
W: But this carrot, for instance, is big enough to feed two people.
Text 4
M: I`m having second thoughts about singing by myself at the end-of-term performance. I can`t be as relaxed as Jonny.
W: Tell the singing coach how you feel. Maybe he will give you some tips on feeling more confident.
Text 5
W: OK, thank you. We`ll get the computer delivered to you this week.
M: I need it before Thursday. It`s a birthday present for my son.
W: Well, our delivery department is closed on Monday, but we can deliver it the following day.
Text 6
M: I really like the warm feeling in your home. How did you do it?
W: Thanks, Dave. That`s what I pay most of my attention to. The key is lights. I always think of hospitals when seeing the bright white lights. I don`t like them. I like soft lights, so throughout my apartment, I changed all the lights to these softer yellow ones. What`s more, they match the furniture and walls well.
M: Ah, yes. What else did you do to make it warm?
W: I like having fresh flowers around to give the room a nice fresh smell but not too strong.
M: That`s lovely. It reminds me of the local library. There are always some fresh roses in our classroom too.
Text 7
M: Hello Mary.
W: Hello Bruce. I don`t usually see you in the supermarket.
M: No, but I have to do the shopping this week. Carol is ill in bed.
W: Oh, I`m sorry to hear that. What`s wrong with her?
M: She`s had a fever for the past few days.
W: So, you`re buying the food, are you?
M: Yes, but I`m shocked to see how much things cost these days.
W: Terrible, isn`t it? Things seem to cost more every time I shop.
M: Look at this. One pack of butter costs me £3.50. I thought butter only cost about £1.
W: Ah, I can help you there. The type of butter I bought cost the same, but there`s an offer-three for the price of two. So I bought three and saved all that money.
Text 8
M: So, what do you think of the movie?
W: To be honest, I don`t really enjoy it. I thought the plot was predictable and the action scenes seemed fake and unrealistic.
M: Really? I thought it was great! The action was intense and the special effects were amazing.
W: I can understand why you liked it, but it just didn`t appeal to me. I prefer movies with well-developed characters and a well-written storyline.
M: I get that. I appreciate those things too, but sometimes it`s nice to simply sit back and enjoy a mindless action film. Plus, the lead actor was very handsome!
W: I`ll give you that, he was definitely easy on the eye. But for me, a good movie should have a meaningful message rather than just be visually appealing.
M: I see your point. Well, maybe next time we can pick a movie that we`ll both enjoy.
W: That sounds like a good plan.
Text 9
W: Ah, you`re back. How was the holiday, Geoff?
M: It was wonderful. It`s easily the best holiday I`ve ever had.
W: Really? That good?
M: Yes, we went to see all the temples around Siem Reap. Cambodia is such an amazing place.
W: I love that part of the world. You should go to Thailand next time. The temples there shine in the sun.
M: Sounds great, but what I really want to see next time is Machu Picchu in Peru.
W: Did you fly over Siem Reap in a hot-air balloon? That is what a lot of tourists do.
M: No, I`d be very nervous about being in a basket under a balloon. I`m scared of heights. W: Sometimes you have to take risks to get the most out of life.
M: I don`t mind small risks like water-skiing, but things like airplanes and balloons just aren`t for me. W: Ah well, at least you are seeing some of the world.
M: Yes, life is too short to miss out on what the world has to offer.
Text 10
This week on Hilarious Homes. we`ll take a look at two houses. Our first story involves a couple. Their love of animals led them to buy a home alongside a forest in Clearwater, Florida. Don and Samantha Smith have lived in this house for 20 years. Most homeowners are used to seeing local animals, such as rabbits, der, or perhaps g neighbor`s dog. But in Florida, it`s normal to see 10-fo-long snakes. In fact, the snakes have become more like pets. Although they are friendly to these ancient creatures, the Smiths are very aware of how dangerous these animals can be. Recently, their pet cat disappeared.
Our next story proves that one man`s garbage is another man`s treasure. Take a look at George and Helen Wilson`s house in Halifax, Canada. Notice anything different? That`s right. Their house is completely made of garbage and recycled materials. It took only one month to build this house and it cost only $500. Amazingly, they got the idea from their daughter Rose, whose 4th-grade science project was to build something out of stuff from around the house. Helen said about six months ago they were living at her mother-in-law`s, but now they have their own beautiful home. She also said she would never look at garbage the same again.

阅读(第一节 四选一)
A 本文围绕”如何将运动融入学习过程”展开,指出适量的运动能够提高注意力、促进记忆和学习效率。整体强调运 动与学习结合的重要性,倡导科学合理地安排学习与锻炼,以获得最佳的学习成果。
21. 细节理解题。根据第二部分中 “Intense exercise while studying may hurt recall because your brain is focused on the workout instead of the information(剧烈运动会损害记忆,因为你的大脑专注于锻炼而不是学习的信息)”可知,剧烈运 动时,大脑的注意力被锻炼本身占据了,从而无法集中在学习上,导致学习效果下降。因此,是注意力转移导致了学习 效果下降,而不是氧气供应减少、受伤风险增加或缺乏有氧运动成分。故选 B。
22. 细节理解题。根据第三部分中 “Working out after studying can also enhance mental function and improve learning. Go for a walk or even lift weights after you study to help your brain stay active(学习后锻炼也可以增强脑功能,改善学习效果。 学习后可以散步,甚至举重,以帮助大脑保持活跃)”可知,学习之后推荐的运动包括散步或举重,即 Weight training (举重训练)。故选 C。
23. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要围绕如何将运动融入学习展开,分别介绍了学习前、学习时、学习后以及桌 前运动的方法,强调了运动对学习效果的积极影响。因此,本文的目的是提供将运动与学习结合的方法,而不仅仅是介 绍锻炼步骤(排除A)、单纯提出学习策略,没有紧扣主旨,范围太大(排除B),也没有主要讲锻炼安全问题(排除 C)。故选 D。
B 本文探讨了互联网从新奇到普及的过程,它虽带来便利,但也导致依赖和成瘾,改变了人们的生活与思维。作者建 议通过教育帮助人们正确认识技术在生活中的位置。
24. 推理判断题。根据第一段中 “The Internet's arrival was gradual, like a child growing before our eyes, with qualities that were both predictable and unknown.(互联网的到来是逐渐的,就像一个孩子在我们眼前长大,既有可预见的特质,也有未 知的特质。)” 孩子成长过程中既有可预见的部分(比如身体发育的规律),也有不可预测的部分(比如个性发展、未 来的成就等)。这与互联网的发展类似,既有可预测的部分(比如技术的逐步升级),也有不可预测的部分(比如它对 社会和人类生活的深远影响)。因此, Its complexity更能体现作者的意图。故选 A。
25. 细节理解题。根据第三段中 “The rapid pace and accessibility of information, along with social networking, have lessened our need to move in the real world.(信息的快速传播和社交网络的便利减少了我们在现实世界中活动的需要。)”可知,作 者认为互联网使人与现实世界的实体互动减少了,即现实中的身体活动减少了。故选B。
26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For those born after the Internet's rise, it is all they know, while for those of us who lived in a pre-Internet age, the difference is striking.(对于互联网兴起后出生的人来说,这就是他们所知道的一切,而对于我们 这些在互联网前时代生活过的人来说,这种差异是显而易见的。)”以及 “teaching history and the evolution of technology in schools could help children understand that their technology...is just one part of the universe.(在学校教授历史和技术演变可 以帮助孩子们理解,他们的科技只是宇宙的一部分。)”可推断,作者认为世界远不止于技术本身,世界存在于更广阔的 范围之中。故选C。
27. 主旨大意题。根据文章整体内容,尤其是作者回顾了自己从打字机到互联网的经历,强调了互联网如何改变了我们 的沟通、学习、记忆和生活方式,可以看出,文章主要探讨了互联网对现实生活的巨大影响,因此选项C “Shifting Realities: The Internet's Impact(变化的现实:互联网的影响)”最能概括全文主旨。故选C。
C 本文核心围绕数字记录在技术迭代下长期可访问性危机展开,指出需积极采取技术干预与主动保存策略,以规避 信息断层导致的 “数字黑暗时代” 降临。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段中 “In the context of found digital media, the problem is not the longevity of the records themselves but the lack of suitable devices to read them.(在发现数字媒体的背景下,问题不是记录本身的持久性,而是缺 乏合适的设备来读取它们。)”可知,老旧数字记录的主要问题在于缺少能够读取它们的匹配设备。故选B。
29. 推理判断题。根据第三段中 “Vint Cerf... warns that if no action is taken, future generations might view our era as the 'digital dark ages.' He uses the term 'bit rot' to describe how digital records may slowly become inaccessible.(文特·瑟夫警告说, 如果不采取行动,后代可能会将我们这个时代视为‘数字黑暗时代’。他用‘比特腐烂’一词来描述数字记录如何慢慢变得 无法访问。)”可推断,”bit rot”指的是数据虽然存在但随着时间推移逐渐变得无法访问,因此指的是”失去数据访问”。故 选D。
30. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中”Satyanarayanan believes important records... will likely be moved to new forms of storage technology.(萨蒂亚纳拉扬认为,重要的记录很可能会被转移到新的存储技术中。)”可知,重要记录将有可能被重新安置 到新的存储形式中,以确保未来可以访问。故选D。
31. 推理判断题。根据全文内容,尤其是第三段和第四段中提到的 “future generations might view our era as the 'digital dark ages' ”以及作者多次表达出对数字记录消失的担忧,可以推断,作者对数字记录的保存持担忧态度。故选A。 D 本文通过研究表明动物个性非一成不变,群体情境会约束个体性格表达。三刺鱼实验首证 “风险决策下趋同需求” 对个体勇怯特质的动态限制作用。
32. 细节理解题。根据第二段中 “They're found both as individuals and in social groups in the wild, making them perfect for personality assessments across different settings.(它们在野外既以个体形式也以群体形式出现,使其成为跨不同环境评估 个性变化的理想对象。)”可知,选择三刺鱼是因为它们具有在个体和群体之间灵活变化的特性,即具有社会灵活性。故 选D。
33. 推理判断题。根据第四段中 “However, when 10 fish were placed together under a cover, individual personalities disappeared... However, when separated from the group, the fish returned to their original behaviors.(然而,当 10 条鱼被一起 放在遮盖物下时,个体性格消失了……然而,当与群体分开时,鱼又恢复了原来的行为。)”可推断,群体动力对个体性格的影响是暂时的,个体脱离群体后会恢复原本的性格。故选B。
34. 词义猜测题。根据第五段中 “the need to conform when faced with a risky decision(在面临危险决策时需要‘conform’)” 结合前文描述可以推断,鱼在面临危险时倾向于跟随群体行为以确保安全,因此 “conform”意为”跟随,顺从”。故选C。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “This study brings those two research streams together, showing that animal personalities are flexible yet consistent.(这项研究将动物个性和群体行为两大研究领域结合在一起,表明动物个性既灵活又具有一致性。)”可知,这项研究弥补了之前只关注个体或群体而忽视两者联系的空白。故选A。
阅读(第二节 七选五)
本文阐述助人行为的疗愈力量,指出志愿服务既能改善情绪健康、缓解孤独,又能提升身体健康、降低患病风险, 还提醒要平衡投入,找到合适角色以获最佳效果。
36. 解题时易在 D 和 F项纠结。F选项说”志愿服务有助于情感疗愈和有意义的贡献”,的确在逻辑上与接下来的研究成果相呼应,但它没有很强的承上启下作用,因为它侧重了”贡献”这一方面,更偏向志愿服务的社会价值(例如对社区 的贡献),与第一段的 “emotional and physical happiness”以及后续研究的重点(抑郁减少、满足感提升)不够直接相关, 不是特别强调自我疗愈的部分。而D选项 “Helping’s joy has been recognized since the 1980s.(帮助他人的喜悦自20世纪八十年代就被认可)”则更加突出帮助他人的价值,并与自我疗愈这一主题直接相连。它能够承接上文关于”帮助他人”的论述,并自然引出后面的研究成果,更加符合文章的结构和逻辑。故选D。
37. 这里需要一个承上启下,进一步强调志愿活动与身体健康的关系的句子,需要考生一定的上下文连贯理解能力。这 段话后面提到,志愿服务降低了心脏病和早逝的风险,这表明志愿服务不仅有情感上的益处(比如减轻抑郁感、增加满 足感),还有身体上的健康效应。之后提到“this connection highlights the close link between emotional and physical happiness” (这种联系突显了情感健康和身体健康之间的紧密联系)。这句话就进一步解释了,情感健康(比如有意义的志愿服 务)直接影响到身体健康(减少心脏病和早逝的风险)。选项 E 说到“使命感有益于健康”,正好与这段话中的“情 感与身体健康的联系”相契合。做志愿活动往往伴随着强烈的使命感,这种使命感可以帮助人们建立意义感,进而带来 情感上的好处(如满足感、幸福感),最终促进身体健康。故选E。
38. 空格前说 “Riley认为关注他人可以让人从强烈情绪中暂时解脱出来”,空格后没有继续讲故事,而是过渡到下一部 分。这里需要一个总结性句子,强调 “这种情绪转移对疗愈有帮助”。A选项 “This shift creates space for healing.(这种转 变为疗愈创造了空间。)”完美呼应。故选A。
39. 空格前并没有内容,后面直接讲 “动物爱好者、环保支持者等可以找到有意义的贡献方式”。显然,这里需要一个 引导性句子,说明 “找到适合自己的志愿角色很重要”。G选项 “Finding the right volunteer role depends on personal interests and skills.(找到合适的志愿角色取决于个人兴趣和技能。)”恰当引出后文。故选G。
40. 空格前讲到 “一周只需两小时志愿活动就能获得心理健康益处”,空格后提到 “如果经常哭泣、焦虑等,说明需要 休息。”这里需要强调要注意平衡,不要过度投入。B选项 “However, it’s crucial to maintain balance.(然而,保持平衡至 关重要。)”自然过渡。故选B。
完形填空
本文讲述1970年少年安迪因目睹污染致树木枯萎而发起植树行动,后借势推动法律、汇聚各方力量,将梦想变为 百万植树运动,证明以环保愿景可逐步重塑城市与地球。
41. 题目中提到“dying trees”(垂死的树木),这个表述与污染导致树木的健康变差有关。污染通常使树木变弱,因此 “weakened”最符合语境。
42. Andy 在树林中看到污染导致树木枯死的情况,他意识到需要做些什么,因此他的行动是 “inspired”(受到启发)。 这说明Andy的行动是由内心的启发推动的,而不是失望、恼怒或激动。
43. 题目提到的停车场被恢复, “lifeless”(没有生气的)最符合描述,因为停车场原本是没有生命力的地方,需要通过 植树来恢复生机,相比较其它三个选项一符合语境。
44. 通过对Andy在露营期间的观察,最终激发了他想要传播 “植树行动”的想法,因此 “brought about”是最佳选择,表 示这一经历带来了(激发了)一个新的想法。
45. Andy 的目标是植树救树,他的行动可以看作是一项 “mission”(使命)。这项 “mission”超出了露营时的简单行动, 变成了一个需要传播和持续进行的任务。
46. Andy 联系了媒体和政策制定者寻求帮助,显然是他 “contacted”(联系了)他们,而不是 “blamed”(指责)、 “encouraged”(鼓励)或 “pressured”(施压)他们。
47. Andy 想要 “adopt” (领养)这些幼苗,因为加利福尼亚森林部准备销毁它们,他通过联系政府让这些幼苗得到了 保护,这里 “adopt”表示他希望领养下这些幼苗,并加以利用。
48. 题目提到 Andy 发起了一个 “replanting”(重新种植)活动,这显然是一个 “project”(项目)。这个词能够准确描 述一项长期且有组织的任务,其他选项如 “policy”(政策)或 “process”(过程)并不适用。
49. “TreePeople”团队由一群对植树事业充满热情的志愿者组成,因此 “passionate”(充满热情的)最符合描述团队成员 的特质。
50. 洛杉矶市长Tom Bradley给了TreePeople一个艰巨的任务,即在1984年奥运会前种植100万棵树,因此 “challenged” (挑战)是最佳选择。
51. 该项目获得了 “strong”(强烈的)支持,包括志愿者和美国空军的参与,这表明支持不仅仅是存在的,而是强烈且 广泛的。
52. deliver 是指运送树木,与后面的plant形成动作上的衔接。
53. 通过 “TreePeople”的努力,洛杉矶已经变成了一个 “green urban forest”(绿色城市森林),说明这个项目极大 地”transformed”(转变)了城市的面貌。
54. 该项目不仅仅是在奥运会期间进行,还继续扩展,因此 “continued”(继续)是最适合的描述。
55. Andy 的目标和信念是推动这项植树行动,从期初的camp dream到后来的movement, 逐渐扩大,使得其相信,只要 有 “vision”(愿景),就能帮助他克服困难并推动了项目的实现。
语法填空
本文讲述科罗拉多火灾后,有人借用中国古代土坯重建的方式,突显了中国土建历史悠久,防火、隔热,是可 持续建筑的典范。
56. 考查时态。destroyed。根据句子的时态,这个空格需要一个过去式动词来表示过去发生的事件,即大火摧毁了 Melanie Glover 的家园。
57. 考查现在分词。using句子中的 “rebuild” 是动词,现在分词来表明 “使用”这一方式。正确的形式是 using。
58. 考查过去分词。句子中是一个被动语态结构,表示 “通过中国古代地下洞穴和泥砖房屋的例子来证明”,所以需要 用过去分词形式来构成被动语态。因此,正确答案是 evidenced,即 “被证明”。
59. 考查比较级。less popular。根据上下文,句子在谈论由于现代建筑方法的出现,泥土房屋变得 “较不受欢迎”。这 里需要用比较级来表达 “少”或 “较不”受欢迎,因此答案是 less popular。
60. 考查定语从句。这个空格需要一个时间连词来引导定语从句,表示 “在2020年Bobcat火灾发生时”。用来描述发 生事件的时间,when 是正确的选择。
61. 考查形容词。此处需要一个形容词来修饰 “land”(土地),表示 “周围的土地”。因此,正确答案surrounding, 作为形容词修饰名词 “land”。
62. 考查动名词。注意空格前despite是介词,句子使用了被动语态,表示 “被视为”。由于 “view” 是动词,因此我 们用其动词形式 being viewed 来构成被动语态。
63. 考查不定冠词。空格后面跟的是单数可数名词 “challenge”,需要在名词前使用不定冠词 a。在这里表示 “一个挑 战”。
64. 考查名词复数。句子在谈论 “可持续的选择”时,表示有多种可能的替代方案,因此应使用 alternatives 的复数形 式。
65. 考查并列连词。连接两个并列成分,draws… and integrates…,因为之间插入了干扰,所以判断答案较为困难。

How to Connect Exercise with Studying Studies show adding physical activity to your study routine can boost focus and help you recall information better. Here are ways to include exercise in studying.
1. Exercise just before you study.
Jog before a test or reviewing notes. Hit the gym on the way home to swim some laps to get ready for evening study. Doing aerobic(有氧)activity gets blood, oxygen, and nutrients to your brain, which helps your brain function better.
2. Try light exercise while you study.
Performing light exercise while studying can help recall of information.
·Intense exercise while studying may hurt recall because your brain is focused on the workout instead of the information.
·To try this, take your textbook or notes to the gym. Use the stationary bike while you study for at least half an hour, making sure to keep the intensity light and gentle.
3. Go to the gym right after studying.
Working out after studying can also enhance mental function and improve learning.
·Go for a walk or even lift weights after you study to help your brain stay active so your studying can pay off.
4. Exercise at your desk.
Get your blood flowing at your desk by doing physical activity.
·Perform chair squats(蹲)at your desk: rise, lower without sitting, hold for 10 seconds, and repeat 20 times.
·Try wall sitting: lower into a squat with wall support, hold for 10 seconds or 20 sets, and even lift one leg for added challenge.
21. Why does intense exercise during studying reduce effectiveness?
A. It reduces brain oxygen supply. B. It shifts mental attention.
C. It increases muscle injury risks. D. It lacks aerobic components.
22. Which exercise is recommended after studying?
A. Stationary biking. B. Chair squats. C. Weight training. D. Swimming laps.
23. What is the primary purpose of the text?
A. To introduce steps for physical health. B. To propose strategies for effective studying.
C. To explain the safety measures for exercise. D. To offer exercise-study integration methods.
B
I still recall typing essays on a beloved typewriter during my first year of university, gradually shifting to the first computer and email. The Internet's arrival was gradual, like a child growing before our eyes, with qualities that were both predictable and unknown. As it became a global reality, predictions about its impact grew—covering research, communication, education, and the transformation of writing, learning, and memory.
The Internet, once a novelty but now an ordinary part of life, has ceased to surprise us and has developed into a deep dependence, with some falling into addiction. It integrates communication, knowledge, entertainment, and business into a single, accessible medium, making it as common as the telephone while distancing us from the world we once knew. This realization often strikes me as I find myself absorbed in front of a screen, even though surrounded by books, struggling to assess its true impact on my life.
I often find myself torn between appreciating the convenience of the Internet and being horrified by the dependence it promotes. The rapid pace and accessibility of information, along with social networking, have lessened our need to move in the real world. The Internet has reduced our existence to a screen, leaving little space for slowness, privacy, and peace, while the world I knew as a child, in books, contrasts sharply with the fast-paced, artificial realities of the digital world.
While technologies shape the real world, few have so deeply affected our minds. For those born after the Internet's rise, it is all they know, while for those of us who lived in a pre-Internet age, the difference is striking. Perhaps teaching history and the evolution of technology in schools could help children understand that their technology, as deeply integrated into their lives as it seems, is just one part of the universe.
24. What does the author imply by comparing the Internet's growth to a child's?
A. Its complexity. B. Its anticipation. C. Its slowness. D. Its inescapability.
25. What impact does the author think the Internet has had?
A. More unfamiliarity with others. B. Less physical interaction. C. An apparent lack of books. D. A very noisy world.
26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Technology defines all. B. The old era is better.
C. The world exists beyond technology. D. Generations shape internet trends.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of the Internet B. The Internet's Role in Modern Life
C. Shifting Realities: The Internet's Impact D. Typewriters to Screens: Digital Shift
C
In the future, discovering old digital records, such as floppy disks or VHS tapes, could lead to both excitement and disappointment. While these physical items may still exist, it would be difficult to find devices to access their information. This contrasts with older items, like letters and photographs, which are immediately accessible to anyone with eyes.
Digital technology has greatly expanded our ability to store information, but the challenge is how long this information will remain accessible. In the context of found digital media, the problem is not the longevity of the records themselves but the lack of suitable devices to read them. Most software and apps used to create documents and websites in the past are already outdated, and in the future, they may no longer be available. The issue is even more complicated with interactive apps and websites, which may be inaccessible in the distant future.
Vint Cerf, a Google vice president, warns that if no action is taken, future generations might view our era as the "digital dark ages." He uses the term “bit rot” to describe how digital records may slowly become inaccessible. Many experts, including computer scientist Mahadev Satyanarayanan, are working to find solutions. Satyanarayanan has developed a method to store digital records along with the original operating systems and applications in the cloud, preserving them for future access.
Both Cerf and Satyanarayanan emphasize the need for careful preservation of digital records. Unlike physical items like photographs, where the decision to save or remove is less critical, digital records require active decisions about what to keep. Satyanarayanan believes important records, such as government documents or major news stories, will likely be moved to new forms of storage technology. However, the records of everyday life—the ones we do not yet recognize as valuable—may be at risk of disappearing into the digital dark ages.
28. What is the main problem with old digital records?
A. Their physical durability. B. Lack of matching devices. C. Unreadability of records. D. Limited storage capacity.
29. What does the author want to explain by mentioning the term “bit rot” in paragraph 3?
A. The leak of digital data. B. The poor shift in cloud data. C. Stored data damage. D. Loss of data access.
30. Which might be the outcome for important records according to Satyanarayanan?
A. Gradually losing them. B. Randomly preserving them. C. Physically storing them. D. Potentially relocating them.
31. What is the author's attitude toward the preservation of digital records?
A. Concerned. B. Tolerant. C. Supportive. D. Optimistic.
D
Scientists have discovered that many animals, including hermit crabs, rats, and fish, have distinct personalities. These animals show consistent behavioral differences over time and in various situations, just like dogs and cats, as pet owners know.
But how do social situations affect individual personalities? University of Bristol biologist Christos C. Loannou and his colleagues sought to find out by turning to a small fish called the three-spined stickleback, which inhabits mildly salty coastal water throughout the Northern Hemisphere. “They' re found both as individuals and in social groups in the wild,” making them perfect for personality assessments across different settings, Loannou says.
The researchers took 80 fish and placed each under a protective cover at one end of a tank, with food at the opposite end. Crossing the tank to feed would seem risky to the sticklebacks because open water typically exposes them to the threat of danger.
The researchers studied them over several days, observing that braver fish quickly left their shelter to get food, while shyer ones took longer to emerge and swam across the tank more cautiously. However, when 10 fish were placed together under a cover, individual personalities disappeared, with the braver fish acting as group leaders, waiting for others to catch up. “The first individuals come out quickly but wait when they realize they're not being followed,” Loannou explains. However, when separated from the group, the fish returned to their original behaviors.
These results, showing how group dynamics influence individual characteristics, were published in Science Advances in September.
The new findings suggest that group dynamics restrict individual personalities, and the researchers say it is the first time that such restriction has been clearly linked to an underlying cause: the need to conform when faced with a risky decision.
Animal personality researchers have historically focused on individuals while ignoring group behavior, and collective behavior researchers have focused on groups while downplaying individual differences, according to University of St Andrews animal behavior researcher Mike Webster, who was not involved. "This study brings those two research streams together," showing that animal personalities are flexible yet consistent, he says.
32. What made sticklebacks chosen for the study?
A. Coastal habitat. B. Safety awareness. C. Strong individuality. D. Social flexibility.
33. Which best describes the impact of group dynamics on individual personalities?
A. Predictable. B. Temporary. C. Immediate. D. Slight.
34. What does the underlined word "conform" mean in paragraph 5?
A. Control. B. Choose. C. Follow. D. Escape.
35. What can we infer about the research from the last paragraph?
A. It fills a gap in animal behavior research. B. It reveals the role of animal group behavior.
C. It challenges adaptable animal personalities. D. It proves animal personalities disappear in groups.

The healing power of thinking of others
Volunteering can greatly improve both emotional and physical happiness. While self-care is important, helping others can also be a powerful path to healing(疗愈). 36 Research highlights its benefits. A 2013 analysis of 40 studies found that volunteering reduces depression and boosts life satisfaction. Additionally, volunteers at food banks often report feeling less lonely, while a US study found they are more likely to experience calmness, purpose, and peace.
Beyond emotional benefits, volunteering also improves physical health. A Carnegie Mellon University study revealed that dedicating 200 hours a year to volunteering lowers the risk of high blood pressure by 40%. 37 It is linked to a lower risk of heart attacks and early death. This connection highlights the close link between emotional and physical happiness.
For some, volunteering can even provide a helpful escape during emotional struggles. Therapist Mel Riley shares her own experience, noting that supporting others helped her manage her depression. Riley believes that focusing on others can provide a break from intense feelings. 38
39 Animal lovers, environmental supporters, or those who enjoy socializing can all find meaningful ways to contribute. Volunteering can be formal, like helping charities, or informal, such as assisting a neighbor or joining online support groups. Even sharing your knowledge in areas like healthy eating or gardening can be meaningful.
Riley emphasizes that volunteering should feel rewarding rather than burdensome. Studies suggest dedicating just two hours a week is enough to gain mental health benefits. 40 Riley warns that frequent tears, anxiety, or feelings of hopelessness may signal burnout. In such cases, stepping back is important, and it's perfectly okay to say no if you're struggling.
A. This shift creates space for healing.
B. However, it's crucial to maintain balance.
C. It's vital for both sides' growth and happiness.
D. Helping's joy has been recognized since the 1980s.
E. Studies show volunteering with a strong purpose benefits health.
F. Volunteering aids emotional healing and boosts the increase of wealth.
G. Finding the right volunteer role depends on personal interests and skills.

Earthen construction, with a rich history in regions like northern China, has long provided fire-resistant, temperature-regulating homes, 58 (evidence)by China's ancient underground cave homes and mud-brick houses with natural materials. Due to modern construction methods, earthen homes have become 59 (popular)in the US. However, early research suggests that earth blocks consistently survive fire and can harden under heat. For instance, in 2020, 60 the Bobcat Fire struck California, Stevie Love's earth home remained untouched while the 61 (surround)land burned.

第二节(满分 25 分)
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Suzi wanted to go to a beach party. It was going to be the best party of the year, perhaps the best party of her life. But her mom had said no. Suzi was desperate and protested, "But everyone is going."
"I don't care who's going," replied her mother. "Even if the Queen of England were going, you are still not going."
Suzi was disappointed and even heartbroken. Sunday dinner came around and Suzi's grandmother joined the family for the meal, as she nearly always did on Sunday. Gran noticed how unhappy Suzi had been looking during the meal but didn't say a thing. It was Suzi's turn to wash up and Gran said, "Let me help you," while the rest of the family shifted into the living room to watch a video.
In the kitchen, Gran knew what had happened and said, "If you were her, what would your objections be?" Suzi hadn't stopped to think about her mom's side.
After learning that some adults were going to be there, Gran said to Suzi, "Your mother is concerned and doesn't want anything to happen to you?" "Nothing will happen," objected Suzi.
"Maybe you're right," said Gran, "but maybe Mom's worried in case it could. You know, when your mother was your age, we used to negotiate about something. If she was going out somewhere, I would ask what time she wanted me to pick her up. She would always add an hour or two to it, saying maybe eleven or twelve o'clock, thinking I wouldn't know what she was doing. I'd tell her that was far too late and that I wanted her home by nine. She'd object and we'd both come to a compromise(折中)at ten or ten-thirty, which was around what both of us had been thinking all along."
"That way, neither of us was the winner or loser; that way, she got to have time out as she wanted and I got to see
her home at a reasonable time. By finding a compromise, we both got something, though maybe not completely, of
what we wanted.”

After hearing Gran's story, Suzi felt lost in thought.
