According to Cornell University, she is regarded as the founder of the field of home economics, which applied scientific principles to domestic life, and she is considered one of the first environmental engineers thanks to her groundbreaking research on water quality and sanitation (卫生). Hermann Minkowski (1864-1909) German mathematician Hermann Minkowski is most famous for developing a geometric interpretation of Einstein’s theory of special relativity. Among his other innovations, he proposed the idea of space-time, which combines the three physical dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time into a unified mathematical framework. He also made important contributions to number theory and the geometry of numbers. Abdus Salam (1926-1996) Abdus Salam was a Pakistani theoretical physicist who contributed to the scientific understanding of fundamental forces. One of his key achievements was the theory of the electroweak force, which combined the electromagnetic (电磁的) force and the weak nuclear force — a step towards a unified theory of everything. With his colleagues, Salam was awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in physics for this work. Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937) Indian scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose is known for his contributions to the fields of physics, botany and biology. He invented an instrument called the crescograph, which can detect minute changes in plant tissues in response to changes in light, temperature and other factors. His experiments in this field challenged the common view of plants as passive things and showed they were sensitive to their environments. 1. Who is a pioneer in public health? A. Jagadish Chandra Bose. B. Ellen Swallow Richards. C. Hermann Minkowski. D. Abdus Salam. 2. What is special about Abdus Salam? A. He won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1979. B. He proposed the theory of four-dimensional space-time. C. He developed a geometric interpretation of Einstein’s theory. D. He made important contributions to number theory and geometry. 3. When was the scientist inventing the crescograph born? A. In 1842. B. In 1864. C. In 1858. D. In 1926. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍四位世界重要科学家的研究领域、成就及贡献。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ellen Swallow Richards (1842-1911)部分中的“she is considered one of the first environmental engineers thanks to her groundbreaking research on water quality and sanitation (卫生). (由于她在水质和卫生方面的开创性研究，她被认为是首批环境工程师之一。)”可知，Ellen Swallow Richards在公共卫生领域有开拓性贡献，是公共卫生领域的先驱。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Abdus Salam (1926-1996)部分中的“With his colleagues, Salam was awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in physics for this work. (萨拉姆和他的同事因这项工作于1979年被授予诺贝尔物理学奖。)”可知，Abdus Salam的特别之处在于他获得了1979年诺贝尔物理学奖。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937)部分中“He invented an instrument called the crescograph, which can detect minute changes in plant tissues in response to changes in light, temperature and other factors. (他发明了一种叫做生长记录器的仪器，它可以检测植物组织因光照、温度和其他因素变化而产生的细微变化。)”可知，发明植物生长记录仪的科学家出生于1858年。故选C项。 B Helms Ategeka wants to be a pop star. But when he told his dad he planned to go after a music degree after his graduation next month from high school, his father wasn’t exactly excited. So last fall, the Oakland, California, teenager took a different approach. He started applying to colleges. More than 150 of them. Before long, he got an acceptance letter. Then another. And another. The trickle (细流) became a flood until there were 122 of them — along with some $5. 3 million in scholarship offers. His father says he’s proud of Helms’ 3.94 GPA and had hoped his son would pick a career with financial stability, like medicine or computer technology. But as he watched the mountain of acceptance letters in his son’s room get bigger with every mail delivery, Chris Ategeka’s hope disappeared. “He’s so confident that music is what he wants to do. It would be wrong for me to try to guide him otherwise ... That’s why he applied to many colleges to prove a point,” Chris says. “I told him, ‘You want to be a musician? It takes a lot of hard work.’ And his reaction was, ‘I’ll use my determination to do this to show you how hard I can work.’” But how does an 18-year-old begin narrowing down such a massive list of options? “I live for music. I spend most of my time either listening to music, making music or out there performing,” Helms says. “I feel the most alive and fulfilled when I’m doing something related to music.” So when he started his college application journey, he had one key requirement: the school needed to have a strong music program. Helms spent the past few months studying the websites and social media accounts of schools that accepted him. He’s watched videos of their music programs on YouTube and TikTok to get a sense of where he fits in. After months of research, Helms made his choice: he will stay nearby and study music at UC Berkeley. A spokesperson for Berkeley confirmed that he’s been accepted. 4. What degree does Helms Ategeka plan to pursue after graduating from high school? A. Medicine. B. Computer Science. C. Music. D. Literature. 5. What did Chris focus on when choosing a career for his son? A. Secure jobs. B. Social need. C. Personal interest. D. Family traditions. 6. What kind of person is Helms? A. Shy and quiet. B. Generous and kind. C. Ambitious and strict. D. Confident and determined. 7. What is Helms expected to do at last? A. Choose a college far from home. B. Obtain the highest scholarship. C. Enter his ideal university. D. Follow his father’s advice. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述Helms Ategeka为追求音乐学位申请150多所大学，用122封录取信说服父亲的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But when he told his dad he planned to go after a music degree after his graduation next month from high school, his father wasn’t exactly excited. (但当他告诉父亲，他计划下个月高中毕业后攻读音乐学位时，父亲并不太兴奋。)”可知，Helms打算攻读音乐学位。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“His father says he’s proud of Helms’ 3.94 GPA and had hoped his son would pick a career with financial stability, like medicine or computer technology. (他的父亲说，他为Helms 3.94的平均绩点感到骄傲，并希望儿子能选择一份经济稳定的职业，比如医学或计算机技术。)”可知，Chris为儿子选职业时关注“稳定的工作”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“He’s so confident that music is what he wants to do .(他非常自信音乐是他想做的事。)”和“I’ll use my determination to do this to show you how hard I can work. (我会用我的决心来做这件事，向你展示我能有多努力。)”以及尾段中的“After months of research, Helms made his choice: he will stay nearby and study music at UC Berkeley. A spokesperson for Berkeley confirmed that he’s been accepted. (经过数月的研究，Helms做出了选择：他将留在附近，在加州大学伯克利分校学习音乐。伯克利的一位发言人证实他已被录取。)”可知，Helms自信且坚定。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“After months of research, Helms made his choice: he will stay nearby and study music at UC Berkeley. A spokesperson for Berkeley confirmed that he’s been accepted. (经过数月的研究，Helms做出了选择：他将留在附近，在加州大学伯克利分校学习音乐。伯克利的一位发言人证实他已被录取。)”可知，Helms最终进入了理想的大学。故选C项。 C Fruit seems riper when it is wrapped in a net that matches its best color, such as a really orangey orange. In the supermarket you inspect oranges in a net bag. They look ripe and appetizing. Then, when you get home, you are shocked: they’re still green! This is caused by a phenomenon known as the confetti illusion (五彩纸屑错觉): objects appear to take on the color of a pattern placed over them. The product sells better when it’s in a net that’s the color of examples of perfect ripeness. What is already well-known in the fruit-and-vegetable trade now has a scientific basis. Karl Gegenfurtner, a perception (感知) psychologist at Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany, has shown how this illusion works in fruit in a short paper in the journal i-Perception. A perceptual illusion is generally understood to be an incorrect interpretation of sensory stimuli (刺激). The phenomenon is based on the fact that stimuli always represent incomplete information, which is only combined with your experiences to put together a sensory impression. This can lead to errors. Gegenfurtner himself had previously found that oranges he had bought were not actually as ripe as they appeared to be through the net. After the initial disappointment, the color researcher’s interest was excited. To rule out the possibility that the observed effect was caused only by reflections between the net and the fruit, he graphically recreated the net as a striped pattern and placed a photograph of a greenish and unripe orange behind it. Gegenfurtner found the piece of fruit suddenly appeared noticeably darker. “These findings highlight the significant implications of color assimilation in everyday consumer environments, offering a fresh perspective on how visual perception can be controlled,” Gegenfurtner wrote in his study. “Looking around in typical supermarkets, it is easy to see that fruits and vegetables(e. g., lemons, onions, zucchini, or even potatoes)are typically packaged in nets that are of the color of perfect examples.” Light reflections between the net and the fruit may even increase the color richness. 8. What caused people to be shocked when they got home after buying oranges? A. They were actually red inside. B. They were not as big as expected. C. They were wrapped in a bright net. D. They appeared ripe but were actually green. 9. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A. A perceptual illusion’s definition. B. How sensory stimuli are processed. C. Gegenfurtner’s research background. D. How the confetti illusion works in fruit. 10. What does the underlined word “assimilation” in the last paragraph mean? A. Identity. B. Absorption. C. Adaptation. D. Transformation. 11. Where can you probably read the text? A. A scientific journal. B. A supermarket advertisement. C. A fiction novel. D. A personal blog. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了水果被包裹在与其最佳颜色相匹配的网中时看起来更成熟的现象，这被称为“五彩纸屑错觉”。科学家对此进行了研究，并指出这种错觉在日常消费环境中的重要影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Then, when you get home, you are shocked: they’re still green!(然后，当你回到家时，你会大吃一惊：它们还是青绿色的！)”可知，人们在买完橙子回家后感到震惊是因为它们看起来熟透了，但实际上却是青色的。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Karl Gegenfurtner, a perception (感知) psychologist at Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany, has shown how this illusion works in fruit in a short paper in the journal i-Perception. A perceptual illusion is generally understood to be an incorrect interpretation of sensory stimuli (刺激). The phenomenon is based on the fact that stimuli always represent incomplete information, which is only combined with your experiences to put together a sensory impression. This can lead to errors.(德国吉森朱斯图斯·利比希大学的感知心理学家卡尔·盖根富特纳在《i-感知》杂志上发表的一篇短文中展示了这种错觉在水果中的运作原理。感知错觉通常被理解为对感官刺激的错误解读。这种现象基于这样一个事实：刺激总是包含不完整的信息，而这些信息只有与你的经验相结合才能形成一种感官印象。这可能会导致错误)”可知，第二段主要讲：“五彩纸屑错觉”是如何在水果身上起作用的。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“This is caused by a phenomenon known as the confetti illusion (五彩纸屑错觉): objects appear to take on the color of a pattern placed over them.(这是由一种被称为“彩纸屑错觉”的现象所导致的：物体会呈现出覆盖在其上的图案所呈现的颜色)”可知，东西的颜色被有颜色的纸屑所影响，颜色变得相似了。进而推知，assimilation指的是颜色的吸收或融合，它们的颜色同化了。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Karl Gegenfurtner, a perception (感知) psychologist at Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany, has shown how this illusion works in fruit in a short paper in the journal i-Perception.(德国吉森朱斯图斯·利比希大学的感知心理学家卡尔·盖根富特纳在《i-感知》杂志上发表的一篇简短论文中，展示了这种错觉在水果中的运作原理)”可知，文章提到了Karl Gegenfurtner在i-Perception期刊上发表的一篇短论文，文章内容是关于一项科学研究，因此本文很可能来源于科学期刊。故选A。 D A cyclist rides down the street. Signs, trees and police stations pass by quickly. The cyclist’s brain takes in information from what the cyclist has perceived but can no longer see. The brain sorts through that information — the color, shape and text on signs, for example — and selects what is most important. Based on that, the cyclist takes the correct turn and continues on. Freek van Ede uses a lot of bicycling metaphors (隐喻). As a cognitive neuroscientist (认知神经科学家) at Vrije University Amsterdam, van Ede studies attention. His focus is not on external attention — what someone is looking at or attending to in the moment. Instead, van Ede is trying to understand internal attention — how the brain focuses on and grabs exactly what it needs from incoming information to guide future behavior. When van Ede was in college, most cognitive neuroscientists were looking at attention in terms of space —putting blocks in different places on a screen, for example, and asking people to select among the blocks. But van Ede became interested in how time might play a role. Getting a more real-world picture means measuring brain activity in real time, which is why van Ede uses electroencephalography (脑电图), paired with eye tracking. In one study, participants watched objects briefly appear on a screen. Van Ede found that when a participant was asked to recall something about an object that had been on-screen, their stare shifted towards where the object had been, even though it was no longer there. “This discovery opened new opportunities for tracking the mind’s eye,” van Ede says, “and so determining what information the brain is using to plan future actions.” Van Ede’s lab has used the technique to show that when preparing for the future, the brain doesn’t wait until all the information is in to make a plan. Instead, the brain plans possible actions as each piece of information comes in — even though the brain can select only one plan in the end. “Van Ede seems to be very good at coming up with new twists on older designs for a task,” says Tobias Egner, a cognitive neuroscientist at Duke University. 12. Why does the author mention a cyclist in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To show van Ede’s love for cycling. C. To describe how a cyclist rides a bike. D. To emphasize the importance of cycling. 13. What does Freek van Ede’s research focus on? A. External attention. B. Internal attention. C. Bicycling metaphors. D. Cognitive neuroscience. 14. What’s the finding of the study mentioned in paragraph 4? A. The brain plans actions after receiving all the information. B. The brain plans possible actions as information comes in. C. The brain cannot recall objects that are no longer visible. D. The brain’s attention is not influenced by eye movements. 15. What is Tobias Egner’s attitude towards Freek van Ede’s work? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了阿姆斯特丹自由大学的认知神经科学家Freek van Ede的研究，他专注于内部注意力，即大脑如何从传入的信息中聚焦并获取指导未来行为所需的内容。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A cyclist rides down the street. Signs, trees and police stations pass by quickly. The cyclist’s brain takes in information from what the cyclist has perceived but can no longer see. The brain sorts through that information — the color, shape and text on signs, for example — and selects what is most important. Based on that, the cyclist takes the correct turn and continues on.(一位骑车人沿着街道骑行。沿途的指示牌、树木和警察局迅速从视线中掠过。骑车人的大脑接收到了他所感知到但已无法看到的信息。大脑对这些信息进行筛选——比如指示牌上的颜色、形状和文字——并挑选出最重要的内容。基于这些信息，骑车人做出了正确的转弯并继续前行)”可知，作者在第一段提到骑车人是为了引出文章要探讨的话题：内部注意力。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, van Ede is trying to understand internal attention — how the brain focuses on and grabs exactly what it needs from incoming information to guide future behavior.(相反，van Ede正试图探究内在注意力的机制——即大脑如何集中注意力，并从接收到的信息中准确获取所需内容，以指导未来的行动)”可知，他的研究重点是内部注意力。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Van Ede’s lab has used the technique to show that when preparing for the future, the brain doesn’t wait until all the information is in to make a plan. Instead, the brain plans possible actions as each piece of information comes in — even though the brain can select only one plan in the end.(Van Ede的实验室运用了这一技术，证明了在为未来做准备时，大脑并非等到所有信息都收集齐全才制定计划。相反，大脑在每收到一条信息时就会规划可能的行动方案——尽管最终大脑只能选择一个方案)”可知，第4段中所提及的研究得出的结论是大脑在信息输入时会规划可能的行动。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Van Ede seems to be very good at coming up with new twists on older designs for a task(Van Ede似乎非常擅长根据特定任务对旧的设计进行创新性的改进。)”可推知，Tobias Egner对于van Ede的研究是持支持态度的。故选D。 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。 You may wonder what exactly the professional athletes eat for breakfast to be able to perform impressive physical achievements. ____16____ Brittany Dunn, a chef for the Philadelphia Eagles, has found that what professional athletes eat varies widely among athletes and the sports they play. “I have worked with an athlete who prefers two boiled eggs with peanut butter toast and a coffee, an athlete who prefers an acai bowl and sauteed veggies (炒蔬菜), and an athlete who orders two breakfast sandwiches,” she said. “____17____ Besides, the amount of time between eating and the following training session, body composition and sport also matter.” ____18____ She said, “Game day is not the day to try new foods. Additionally, having a consistent breakfast routine can help professional athletes feel more mentally prepared for the day ahead.” As for general caloric needs, professional athletes need to consume more than the average person given the amount of energy they’re using in their respective sports, and to help with recovery. Dunn said she has worked with an athlete who required a 1,000-calorie recovery fruit juice post-training, plus three to four additional meals throughout the day. “We really need to put a lot of fuel into athletes, so we might give them things like juice or even candy to make them feel more hungry,” said Dr. Mar c Bubbs, a nutritionist of Canada Basketball Team. ____19____ The more intense your exercise, the greater your reliance on carbohydrates (碳水化合物). ____20____ The male athletes Bubbs has worked with need about 4,000 calories a day while the general recommendation for the average person is around 2,000 calories per day. A. The short answer: it depends. B. Women would probably require fewer calories. C. He was also a consultant for a group of Olympic athletes. D. Therefore, professional athletes simply need more carbohydrates. E. A balanced breakfast typically includes protein, fiber and nutrients. F. In her experience, most athletes eat the same breakfast before every competition. G. The characteristics of athletes’ breakfasts are affected by personal preferences and diets. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. F 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了职业运动员的早餐因个人喜好、运动项目及身体状况而异，且强调比赛日早餐应保持一致，同时指出高强度运动依赖碳水化合物，不同性别运动员的热量需求也有差异。 【16题详解】 由上文“You may wonder what exactly the professional athletes eat for breakfast to be able to perform impressive physical achievements. (你可能想知道职业运动员到底吃什么早餐才能取得令人印象深刻的运动成绩。)”可知，关于职业运动员到底吃什么早餐的问题，本空应给出一个初步的、概括性的回答。A选项“The short answer: it depends. (简短的回答是：这要看情况。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选A。 【17题详解】 由上文““I have worked with an athlete who prefers two boiled eggs with peanut butter toast and a coffee, an athlete who prefers an acai bowl and sauteed veggies (炒蔬菜), and an athlete who orders two breakfast sandwiches,” she said. (“我和一位运动员合作过，他喜欢吃两个水煮蛋配花生酱吐司和咖啡，另一位运动员喜欢吃巴西莓碗和炒蔬菜，还有一位运动员会点两份早餐三明治，”她说。)”可知，本空应强调运动员早餐选择的多样性的原因。G选项“The characteristics of athletes’ breakfasts are affected by personal preferences and diets.

My 91-year-old grandfather called me to test his new hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It excited us both. I soon found out there was another reason why my grandfather was so happy — his new audiologist (听觉矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the previous providers he had been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandfather’s apartment to show him how to use it. She patiently explained the features, the maintenance (维护), and the troubleshooting steps, making sure he felt powerful and independent. Her attention to detail and her genuine concern for his comfort were evident in every interaction. The moment when my grandfather’s voice came through the phone line, clear and filled with joy, was a proof to the transformative power of technology and human’s sympathy. His excitement was obvious as he described how the world had suddenly become a symphony of sounds he had nearly forgotten. The sound of leaves moving, the noise of cars far away, and most importantly, the voices of his loved ones — each now a precious gift restored to him. Anna’s approach to her work was a breath of fresh air in a field where people often just do business without getting personal. She treated my grandfather not just as a patient with a condition to be managed, but as an individual deserving of dignity and understanding. Her willingness to visit his home was a gesture that spoke volumes about her character. This personal touch made all the difference. It’s one thing to provide a device that can restore hearing; it’s another to ensure that the user knows how to operate it effectively and feels confident in doing so. Anna’s visit to his apartment was not just about a tutorial (辅导); it was about building a bridge of trust and showing that she cared about his experience. 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。 Anna’s efforts had inspired my grandfather’s love for life’s little joys. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by Anna’s selflessness, I decided to visit her at her clinic. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Anna’s efforts had inspired my grandfather’s love for life’s little joys. As Anna continued to visit regularly, my grandfather’s enthusiasm for living increased. He started taking daily walks around the block, enjoying the sounds of nature and the conversations with neighbors he hadn’t fully engaged with in years. He even picked up an old hobby of gardening, enjoying listening to birds singing and bees flying around in the garden. His joy was obvious, and I found myself smiling more often, grateful for Anna’s care. Moved by Anna’s selflessness, I decided to visit her at her clinic. There, I shared with her the joy my grandfather had been experiencing since her intervention. She listened with a smile, her eyes sparkling with genuine happiness. Anna told me that it was moments like these that made her job so fulfilling. She emphasized that every person deserved to experience the world in its fullest, and she was committed to making that happen for as many individuals as possible. Inspired by her words and actions, I promised to spread the story of Anna’s kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了91岁祖父因新助听器重获听力，其听觉矫治专家安娜不仅上门指导使用，还耐心讲解维护等，让祖父重拾生活乐趣。作者为此拜访安娜，被其奉献精神感动，决定分享她的善举。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“安娜的努力激发了祖父对生活小乐趣的热爱”可知，第一段可描写安娜给祖父的生活带来的改变以及作者感谢安娜。 ②由第二段首句内容“安娜的无私感动了我，我决定去她的诊所看她”可知，第二段可描写作者看望安娜以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：安娜定期拜访——祖父高兴——作者感谢——拜访安娜——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①继续：continue/go on ②喜欢：enjoy/be fond of ③闪光：sparkle/shine 情绪类 ①感谢：grateful/thankful ②热情：enthusiasm/passion 【点睛】[高分句型1] As Anna continued to visit regularly, my grandfather’s enthusiasm for living increased.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Inspired by her words and actions, I promised to spread the story of Anna’s kindness.（运用了过去分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟试题 英语 本试题卷共8页。全卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、考号等填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。 1.

According to Cornell University, she is regarded as the founder of the field of home economics, which applied scientific principles to domestic life, and she is considered one of the first environmental engineers thanks to her groundbreaking research on water quality and sanitation (卫生). Hermann Minkowski (1864-1909) German mathematician Hermann Minkowski is most famous for developing a geometric interpretation of Einstein’s theory of special relativity. Among his other innovations, he proposed the idea of space-time, which combines the three physical dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time into a unified mathematical framework. He also made important contributions to number theory and the geometry of numbers. Abdus Salam (1926-1996) Abdus Salam was a Pakistani theoretical physicist who contributed to the scientific understanding of fundamental forces. One of his key achievements was the theory of the electroweak force, which combined the electromagnetic (电磁的) force and the weak nuclear force — a step towards a unified theory of everything. With his colleagues, Salam was awarded the 1979 Nobel Prize in physics for this work. Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937) Indian scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose is known for his contributions to the fields of physics, botany and biology. He invented an instrument called the crescograph, which can detect minute changes in plant tissues in response to changes in light, temperature and other factors. His experiments in this field challenged the common view of plants as passive things and showed they were sensitive to their environments. 1. Who is a pioneer in public health? A. Jagadish Chandra Bose. B. Ellen Swallow Richards. C. Hermann Minkowski. D. Abdus Salam. 2. What is special about Abdus Salam? A. He won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1979. B. He proposed the theory of four-dimensional space-time. C. He developed a geometric interpretation of Einstein’s theory. D. He made important contributions to number theory and geometry. 3. When was the scientist inventing the crescograph born? A. In 1842. B. In 1864. C. In 1858. D. In 1926. B Helms Ategeka wants to be a pop star. But when he told his dad he planned to go after a music degree after his graduation next month from high school, his father wasn’t exactly excited. So last fall, the Oakland, California, teenager took a different approach. He started applying to colleges. More than 150 of them. Before long, he got an acceptance letter. Then another. And another. The trickle (细流) became a flood until there were 122 of them — along with some $5. 3 million in scholarship offers. His father says he’s proud of Helms’ 3.94 GPA and had hoped his son would pick a career with financial stability, like medicine or computer technology. But as he watched the mountain of acceptance letters in his son’s room get bigger with every mail delivery, Chris Ategeka’s hope disappeared. “He’s so confident that music is what he wants to do. It would be wrong for me to try to guide him otherwise ... That’s why he applied to many colleges to prove a point,” Chris says. “I told him, ‘You want to be a musician? It takes a lot of hard work.’ And his reaction was, ‘I’ll use my determination to do this to show you how hard I can work.’” But how does an 18-year-old begin narrowing down such a massive list of options? “I live for music. I spend most of my time either listening to music, making music or out there performing,” Helms says. “I feel the most alive and fulfilled when I’m doing something related to music.” So when he started his college application journey, he had one key requirement: the school needed to have a strong music program. Helms spent the past few months studying the websites and social media accounts of schools that accepted him. He’s watched videos of their music programs on YouTube and TikTok to get a sense of where he fits in. After months of research, Helms made his choice: he will stay nearby and study music at UC Berkeley. A spokesperson for Berkeley confirmed that he’s been accepted. 4. What degree does Helms Ategeka plan to pursue after graduating from high school? A. Medicine. B. Computer Science. C. Music. D. Literature. 5. What did Chris focus on when choosing a career for his son? A. Secure jobs. B. Social need. C. Personal interest. D. Family traditions. 6. What kind of person is Helms? A. Shy and quiet. B. Generous and kind. C. Ambitious and strict. D. Confident and determined. 7. What is Helms expected to do at last? A. Choose a college far from home. B. Obtain the highest scholarship. C. Enter his ideal university. D. Follow his father’s advice. C Fruit seems riper when it is wrapped in a net that matches its best color, such as a really orangey orange. In the supermarket you inspect oranges in a net bag. They look ripe and appetizing. Then, when you get home, you are shocked: they’re still green! This is caused by a phenomenon known as the confetti illusion (五彩纸屑错觉): objects appear to take on the color of a pattern placed over them. The product sells better when it’s in a net that’s the color of examples of perfect ripeness. What is already well-known in the fruit-and-vegetable trade now has a scientific basis. Karl Gegenfurtner, a perception (感知) psychologist at Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany, has shown how this illusion works in fruit in a short paper in the journal i-Perception. A perceptual illusion is generally understood to be an incorrect interpretation of sensory stimuli (刺激). The phenomenon is based on the fact that stimuli always represent incomplete information, which is only combined with your experiences to put together a sensory impression. This can lead to errors. Gegenfurtner himself had previously found that oranges he had bought were not actually as ripe as they appeared to be through the net. After the initial disappointment, the color researcher’s interest was excited. To rule out the possibility that the observed effect was caused only by reflections between the net and the fruit, he graphically recreated the net as a striped pattern and placed a photograph of a greenish and unripe orange behind it. Gegenfurtner found the piece of fruit suddenly appeared noticeably darker. “These findings highlight the significant implications of color assimilation in everyday consumer environments, offering a fresh perspective on how visual perception can be controlled,” Gegenfurtner wrote in his study. “Looking around in typical supermarkets, it is easy to see that fruits and vegetables(e. g., lemons, onions, zucchini, or even potatoes)are typically packaged in nets that are of the color of perfect examples.” Light reflections between the net and the fruit may even increase the color richness. 8. What caused people to be shocked when they got home after buying oranges? A. They were actually red inside. B. They were not as big as expected. C. They were wrapped in a bright net. D. They appeared ripe but were actually green. 9. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A A perceptual illusion’s definition. B. How sensory stimuli are processed. C. Gegenfurtner’s research background. D. How the confetti illusion works in fruit. 10. What does the underlined word “assimilation” in the last paragraph mean? A. Identity. B. Absorption. C. Adaptation. D. Transformation. 11. Where can you probably read the text? A. A scientific journal. B. A supermarket advertisement. C. A fiction novel. D. A personal blog. D A cyclist rides down the street. Signs, trees and police stations pass by quickly. The cyclist’s brain takes in information from what the cyclist has perceived but can no longer see. The brain sorts through that information — the color, shape and text on signs, for example — and selects what is most important. Based on that, the cyclist takes the correct turn and continues on. Freek van Ede uses a lot of bicycling metaphors (隐喻). As a cognitive neuroscientist (认知神经科学家) at Vrije University Amsterdam, van Ede studies attention. His focus is not on external attention — what someone is looking at or attending to in the moment. Instead, van Ede is trying to understand internal attention — how the brain focuses on and grabs exactly what it needs from incoming information to guide future behavior. When van Ede was in college most cognitive neuroscientists were looking at attention in terms of space —putting blocks in different places on a screen, for example, and asking people to select among the blocks. But van Ede became interested in how time might play a role. Getting a more real-world picture means measuring brain activity in real time, which is why van Ede uses electroencephalography (脑电图), paired with eye tracking. In one study, participants watched objects briefly appear on a screen. Van Ede found that when a participant was asked to recall something about an object that had been on-screen, their stare shifted towards where the object had been, even though it was no longer there. “This discovery opened new opportunities for tracking the mind’s eye,” van Ede says, “and so determining what information the brain is using to plan future actions.” Van Ede’s lab has used the technique to show that when preparing for the future, the brain doesn’t wait until all the information is in to make a plan. Instead, the brain plans possible actions as each piece of information comes in — even though the brain can select only one plan in the end. “Van Ede seems to be very good at coming up with new twists on older designs for a task,” says Tobias Egner, a cognitive neuroscientist at Duke University. 12.

My 91-year-old grandfather called me to test his new hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It excited us both. I soon found out there was another reason why my grandfather was so happy — his new audiologist (听觉矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the previous providers he had been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandfather’s apartment to show him how to use it. She patiently explained the features, the maintenance (维护), and the troubleshooting steps, making sure he felt powerful and independent. Her attention to detail and her genuine concern for his comfort were evident in every interaction. The moment when my grandfather’s voice came through the phone line, clear and filled with joy, was a proof to the transformative power of technology and human’s sympathy. His excitement was obvious as he described how the world had suddenly become a symphony of sounds he had nearly forgotten. The sound of leaves moving, the noise of cars far away, and most importantly, the voices of his loved ones — each now a precious gift restored to him. Anna’s approach to her work was a breath of fresh air in a field where people often just do business without getting personal. She treated my grandfather not just as a patient with a condition to be managed, but as an individual deserving of dignity and understanding. Her willingness to visit his home was a gesture that spoke volumes about her character. This personal touch made all the difference. It’s one thing to provide a device that can restore hearing; it’s another to ensure that the user knows how to operate it effectively and feels confident in doing so. Anna’s visit to his apartment was not just about a tutorial (辅导); it was about building a bridge of trust and showing that she cared about his experience. 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。 Anna’s efforts had inspired my grandfather’s love for life’s little joys. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by Anna’s selflessness, I decided to visit her at her clinic. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
