Working at the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Afghanistan, he has risen from a cleaning role to become an administrative assistant, representsing courage and resilience in a country marked by uncertainty. In 2014, Ahmed began as a contractor maintaining living spaces for international staff while pursuing a computer science degree. By 2017, he secured a full-time contract as an office cleaner. Though the job was humble, he took pride in his work, always striving to excel. His breakthrough came in 2021, when the Taliban’s return to power created chaos. Amid fear and instability, Ahmed s saw a chance to prove his abilities. One day, the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund team faced a critical ICT problem. Having gain basic IT skills through: self-study and colleagues’ guidance, Ahmed volunteered to help. To everyone’s s surprise, he resolved the issue efficiently. This success opened doors: the team entrusted him with more responsibilities, from data management to coordinating meetings. In 2023, he applied for an administrative assistant position and was selected after a strict interview process. Ahmed credits his colleagues, especially his mentor Ibrahim, for recognizing his potential. “They saw beyond my job title,” he says. His family’s encouragement — particularly his wife’s support t in balancing work and studies — was also vital. “Juggling a full-time job, family, and classes was tough, but staying organized and prioritizing tasks helped,” he explains. Today, Ahmed takes pride in contributing to OCHA’s mission of aiding Afghan communities. His journey reflects how small acts of courage — like volunteering for a challenging task or pursuing education despite obstacles — can lead to profound changes. As he often tells others, “Adversity is not a stop sign; it’s a detour.” 4. What can we learn about Ahmed from Paragraph 2? A. He became a full-time cleaner in 2014. B.

(2014年，艾哈迈德开始担任承包商，为国际员工维护居住空间，同时攻读计算机科学学位。)”可知，艾哈迈德在工作的同时攻读计算机科学学位。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Having gain basic IT skills through: self-study and colleagues’ guidance, Ahmed volunteered to help. (通过自学和同事的指导，艾哈迈德掌握了基本的IT技能，他自愿去帮忙。)”可知，他通过自学和同事的指导获得了基本的 IT 技能，所以能够成功解决 ICT 问题。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“His family’s encouragement — particularly his wife’s support t in balancing work and studies — was also vital. (他家人的鼓励——尤其是他妻子在平衡工作和学习方面的支持——也是至关重要的。)”以及划线单词句中“…a full-time job, family, and classes was tough, but staying organized and prioritizing tasks helped (……全职工作、家庭和课程是很困难的，但保持条理和优先处理任务很有帮助。)”由此可知，兼顾全职工作、家庭和课程是很困难的。所以划线词和B选项 Balancing“平衡”意思相近。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“His journey reflects how small acts of courage — like volunteering for a challenging task or pursuing education despite obstacles — can lead to profound changes. As he often tells others, “Adversity is not a stop sign; it’s a detour.” (他的经历反映了勇气的小举动——比如自愿接受一项具有挑战性的任务，或者不顾障碍继续接受教育——可以带来深刻的变化。正如他经常告诉别人的那样，“逆境不是停止的标志；这是一条弯路。”)”可知，艾哈迈德在塔利班掌权的混乱时期，抓住机会展示自己的能力，从清洁工晋升为行政助理，他的经历表明幸运眷顾勇敢的人（Fortune favors the brave）。故选A项。 C In our hyper-connected world of social media, there’s a refreshing cure — one that’s good for your mental health, reduces stress and anxiety and even helps your immune system: being in nature. While any time spent outdoors is advantageous, there’s a “prescription” that can help you get the most benefits. It’s spending 20 minutes in your local park three days per week, five hours in a nature preserve each month and three days immersed in the backcountry once a year. It’s called the 20-5-3 rule, and it’s a science-backed formula that could revolutionize how we think about outdoor time. Florence Williams, author of Nature Fix and Heartbreak, tells Yahoo Life: “Having a general guideline like this could be helpful to some people. It’s worth noting that it’s important for each of us to tune into what we need in a particular week or year.” Williams explain that when we’re experiencing extra stress, pain or heartbreak, we might need more time in everyday nature spaces or in deep wilderness. “The emerging science is an opportunity for us to notice how we feel when we’re outside, to recognize which elements of nature we most respond to and to prioritize doing the things that give us the restoration we need,” she says. While spending time in your local park is beneficial, it requires s more frequent exposure to achieve the same stress-reducing benefits as a deep wilderness experience. That’s because in urban green spaces, we’re often still tied to our devices and surrounded by city sounds. It can be more like “nature-lite” if we’re not intentional about the time we spend outdoors. The numbers back this up. Research shows that while a 20-minute walk in nature lowers stress hormones, these levels often bounce back within hours in urban settings. Compare this to multi-day wilderness experiences, where studies have documented health benefits lasting up to a month. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By giving a definition. B. By listing numbers. C. By offering an example. D. By describing a phenomenon. 9. What do we know about the 20-5-3 rule? A. People may practice the rule flexibly. B. The rule was created by Florence Williams. C. Everyone must follow the rule without any change. D. People should spend 5 hours in a local park every month. 10. Why does the author say urban green spaces are like “nature-lite”? A. There are no real natural things. B. The air quality there is much worse. C. Various distractions reduce the effect. D. People don’t like to stay there for long. 11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To advocate people to get close to nature. B. To suggest a new treatment to mental illness. C. To provide a prescription to improve physical health. D. To recommend an approach to reducing stress and anxiety. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍“20-5-3 规则”及其科学依据，强调自然接触对健康的积极影响，建议人们根据场景和需求合理分配户外时间，以获得更持久的减压效果和身心益处。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章中第一段的句子“It’s spending 20 minutes in your local park three days per week, five hours in a nature preserve each month and three days immersed in the backcountry once a year. It’s called the 20-5-3 rule, and it’s a science-backed formula that could revolutionize how we think about outdoor time.(就是每周三天在当地的公园里呆20分钟，每月在自然保护区呆5小时，每年一次在野外呆3天。这被称为“20-5-3法则”，这是一个有科学依据的公式，可以彻底改变我们对户外时间的看法。)”可知，作者通过定义“20-5-3法则”来引入主题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中第二段的句子“It’s worth noting that it’s important for each of us to tune into what we need in a particular week or year.(值得注意的是，对我们每个人来说，在特定的一周或一年里调整自己的需求是很重要的。)”可知，人们可以根据需求灵活地实践这一规则。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中第三段的句子“While spending time in your local park is beneficial, it requires s more frequent exposure to achieve the same stress-reducing benefits as a deep wilderness experience. That’s because in urban green spaces, we’re often still tied to our devices and surrounded by city sounds.(虽然花时间在当地的公园是有益的，但它需要更频繁地接触，才能达到与深入荒野体验同样的减压效果。这是因为在城市的绿地中，我们经常仍然被我们的设备所束缚，被城市的声音所包围。)”可知，城市绿地中人们仍受电子设备干扰，且环境噪音多，导致减压效果不如荒野体验深刻，因此称为“nature-lite(低配版自然)”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，特别是第一段“In our hyper-connected world of social media, there’s a refreshing cure—one that’s good for your mental health, reduces stress and anxiety and even helps your immune system: being in nature. While any time spent outdoors is advantageous, there’s a “prescription” that can help you get the most benefits. It’s spending 20 minutes in your local park three days per week, five hours in a nature preserve each month and three days immersed in the backcountry once a year. It’s called the 20-5-3 rule, and it’s a science-backed formula that could revolutionize how we think about outdoor time.(在我们这个高度互联的社交媒体世界里，有一种令人耳目一新的治疗方法——它有利于你的心理健康，减少压力和焦虑，甚至有助于你的免疫系统：亲近大自然。虽然户外活动的任何时间都是有益的，但有一个“处方”可以帮助你获得最大的好处。就是每周三天在当地的公园里呆20分钟，每月在自然保护区呆5小时，每年一次在野外呆3天。这被称为20-5-3法则，这是一个有科学依据的公式，可以彻底改变我们对户外时间的看法。)”可知，全文核心是推荐“20-5-3法则”作为科学支持的减压方法，并解释其灵活性和不同自然环境的差异。故选D项。 D Describing odors (气味) can be surprisingly complicated, even for a complex computer. It’s hard to overstate the power of the nose — research says humans can tell apart more than a trillion odors. This is especially impressive when you remember that each odor is a chemical with a unique structure. Experts have been trying to find patterns or logic in how chemical structure determines smell, which would make it much easier to artificially copy scents or discover new ones. But that’s extremely difficult — two very similarly structured chemicals could smell very different. When identifying smells is such a complicated task, scientists are asking: Can we get a computer to do it? Smell remains more mysterious to scientists than our senses of sight or hearing. While we can “map” what we see as a range of light wavelengths, and what we hear as a range of sound waves with frequencies and loudness, we have no such understanding for smell. In new research, published in September 2023 in the journal Science, scientists trained a computer system with 5, 000 substances from two perfume databases of odorants — molecules that have a smell and matching smell labels like “fruity” or “cheesy.” The AI was then able to create a “main odor map” that visually showed the connections between different smells. When the researchers showed the AI a new molecule, the program could describe what it would smell like. The research team then asked a group of 15 adults with different racial backgrounds living near Philadelphia to smell and describe that same odor. They found that “the computer system’s descriptions are better than the average person in the group, most of the time,” says Alex Wiltschko, one of the authors of the new paper. Wiltschko is the CEO and co-founder of Osmo, a company whose goal is “to give computers a sense of smell” and that worked with researchers from Google and various US universities. This study not only opens up new ways to understand the complex world of smells but also prepares for the use of AI in fields such as perfume making, food quality control, and even disease detection, where smell clues may play an important role. However, challenges remain, as the AI’s understanding of smell still depends on existing data, and the personal nature of human smell perception (感知) means there’s still a long way to go before way to go before computers can truly “smell” like humans do. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Humans can distinguish numerous odors. B. Experts have found ways to determine smells. C. Similar-structured chemicals can produce different odors. D. Identifying smells is challenging for humans and computers. 13. Why does smell remain a mystery to scientists? A It hasn’t been visually mapped. B. Different smells don’t connect. C. It isn’t the same as sight or hearing. D. The trained AI can’t tell smells apart. 14. What can we learn about the new research? A. The “main odor map” was created to store smell data. B. The study was conducted by Osmo without external cooperation. C. The AI’s description about new molecules’ smells were more accurate. D. The computer system was trained with 5,000 randomly chosen chemical 15 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What is Odor? B. How to Tell Odor? C. Will We See Odor? D. Can You Identify Odor? 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家探索用AI识别气味的研究及挑战。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Describing odors (气味) can be surprisingly complicated, even for a complex computer. (描述气味可能非常复杂，即使对于复杂的计算机也是如此)”并结合该段其他内容可知，第一段主要讲述了识别气味对人类和计算机来说都是一项挑战。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Smell remains more mysterious to scientists than our senses of sight or hearing. While we can “map” what we see as a range of light wavelengths, and what we hear as a range of sound waves with frequencies and loudness, we have no such understanding for smell.(与视觉或听觉相比，气味对科学家来说仍然更加神秘。虽然我们可以将我们看到的“映射”为一系列光波长，将我们听到的“映射”为一系列具有频率和响度的声波，但我们对气味却没有这样的认知体系)”可知，气味对科学家来说仍然是个谜是因为它还没有被可视化的“映射”。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When the researchers showed the AI a new molecule, the program could describe what it would smell like. The research team then asked a group of 15 adults with different racial backgrounds living near Philadelphia to smell and describe that same odor. They found that “the computer system’s descriptions are better than the average person in the group, most of the time,” says Alex Wiltschko, one of the authors of the new paper.(当研究人员向人工智能展示一个新分子时，该程序可以描述它的气味。然后，研究小组让15名住在费城附近的不同种族背景的成年人闻并描述同样的气味。他们发现，新论文的作者之一亚历克斯·威尔茨科说:“大多数时候，计算机系统的描述比小组中的普通人要好。”)”可知，我们可以从新的研究中了解到人工智能对新分子气味的描述更准确。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Experts have been trying to find patterns or logic in how chemical structure determines smell, which would make it much easier to artificially copy scents or discover new ones. But that’s extremely difficult — two very similarly structured chemicals could smell very different. When identifying smells is such a complicated task, scientists are asking: Can we get a computer to do it?(专家们一直在试图找出化学结构如何决定气味的模式或逻辑，这将使人工复制气味或发现新气味变得容易得多。但这极其困难——两种结构非常相似的化学物质可能有截然不同的气味。当识别气味是一项如此复杂的任务时，科学家们会问：我们能让计算机来做吗？)”以及最后一段“This study not only opens up new ways to understand the complex world of smells but also prepares for the use of AI in fields such as perfume making, food quality control, and even disease detection, where smell clues may play an important role. However, challenges remain, as the AI’s understanding of smell still depends on existing data, and the personal nature of human smell perception (感知) means there’s still a long way to go before way to go before computers can truly can truly “smell” like humans do.(这项研究不仅开辟了理解复杂气味世界的新途径，也为人工智能在香水制造、食品质量控制甚至疾病检测等领域的应用做好了准备，在这些领域，气味线索可能发挥着重要作用。然而，挑战依然存在，因为人工智能对气味的理解仍然依赖于现有数据，而人类嗅觉感知的个人性质意味着，在计算机能够真正像人类一样“嗅觉”之前，还有很长的路要走)”可知，文章对气味难以被人们感知到为话题，提出在人工智能的帮助下，我们将来感知到气味。因此，本文的标题可以是C项“我们会感知到气味吗？”。故选C。 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。 Science-Backed Tips to Improve Your Sleep Routine Getting enough quality sleep is essential for health, but many struggle with falling or staying asleep. Here are science-backed strategies to improve your sleep routine, from morning habits to bedtime rituals. ____16____ Establish a Consistent Morning Routine Your sleep cycle starts the moment you wake up. Aim to rise at the same time daily, even on weekends, to regulate your body’s internal clock. First thing in the morning, expose yourself to natural daylight — this helps reset your circadian rhythm. A balanced breakfast with protein and fiber (like eggs and oatmeal) fuels your day and stabilizes blood sugar. If possible, add a morning walk or light exercise to boost energy and tire your body gently. ____17____ ____18____ At night, swap white light bulbs for amber or red ones. These warm tones are less stimulating and trigger melatonin production, the hormone that makes you sleepy. Use “night mode” on devices to dim screens to a yellowish hue, and avoid phones, laptops, or tablets for at least an hour before bed. The blue light from these devices suppresses melatonin and keeps your brain alert. Take a Warm Bath or Shower About 75-90 minute before bedtime, soak in a warm bath or enjoy a steamy shower. The heat raises your body temperature, and as you cool down afterward, it signals your body that it’s time to sleep. Studies show that a slightly lower core temperature promotes deeper, more restful sleep. Practice Relaxation Through Imagery Wind down with a short nature meditation. Close your eyes and visualize a peaceful scene — a quiet forest, a sunny beach, or a misty mountain. Focus on your breathing and imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of your chosen environment. ____19____ As a result, it calms both mind and body, making it easier to drift into sleep. ____20____ You can also create a sleep routine that helps you unwind naturally and wake up feeling refreshed. Sweet dream! A. Adjust sleep-friendly evening lighting. B. Avoid caffeine to prevent sleep disruptions. C. A cool bedroom temperature aids in falling asleep faster. D. Consistency is key to regulating your body’s internal clock. E. Combining these habits can transform your sleep quality over time. F. This mindfulness practice lowers stress and prepares your mind for sleep. G. These steps help your body recognize when it’s time to wake up and wind down. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些有科学依据的改善睡眠习惯的策略，从早晨的习惯到睡前的仪式，旨在帮助那些难以入睡或保持睡眠的人改善睡眠状况。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Here are science-backed strategies to improve your sleep routine, from morning habits to bedtime rituals.

(这些步骤帮助你的身体识别什么时候该醒来，什么时候该放松)”中的“These steps”指代前文提到的策略，且说明了这些策略的作用，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据本段小标题“Establish a Consistent Morning Routine (建立一致的早晨习惯)”以及空前的“Aim to rise at the same time daily, even on weekends, to regulate your body’s internal clock. First thing in the morning, expose yourself to natural daylight — this helps reset your circadian rhythm. A balanced breakfast with protein and fiber (like eggs and oatmeal) fuels your day and stabilizes blood sugar. If possible, add a morning walk or light exercise to boost energy and tire your body gently. (目标是每天在同一时间起床，即使是周末也不例外，这样可以调节身体的生物钟。早上第一件事，让自己接触自然光——这有助于重置你的昼夜节律。一份富含蛋白质和纤维的均衡早餐（比如鸡蛋和燕麦粥）能为你一天提供能量，并稳定血糖。如果可能的话，加一段晨间散步或轻度运动，以提升精力并温和地让身体产生疲劳感)”可知，本段强调早晨习惯的一致性对调节生物钟的重要性。D选项“Consistency is key to regulating your body’s internal clock. (一致性是调节身体生物钟的关键)”是对本段内容的总结，放在句末，符合语境。故选D项。 【18题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的小标题，概括本段主要内容。根据空后的“At night, swap white light bulbs for amber or red ones.

Our class had worked tire y to prepare a brilliant textbook drama, hoping to amaze the audience with our performance. Every afternoon, we gathered in the classroom for rehearsals, our voices echoing through the halls. Our cooperation was becoming increasingly harmonious with each passing day. With scripts (剧本) in hand and enthusiasm in our hearts, we practiced diligently, our laughter mixing with the sound of hurried footsteps and dramatic recitations. Lucy, with her thorough attention to detail, adjusted the props (道具) repeatedly, ensuring every layout was perfect. Tom, his fingers flying across the laptop keyboard, fine-tuned the background music, while I carefully noted down stage directions, my pen scratching against the paper. But the biggest surprise was Jack — usually quiet and reserved, he was transformed into a charming actor on stage, his voice rich with emotion, his expressions so vivid that they drew thunderous applause from the rest of us. However, an accident t struck on a sunny weekend afternoon. While playing football with friends, Jack twisted his ankle badly, the sharp pain shooting up his leg as he collapsed onto the grass. By Monday, he arrived at school on crutches (拐杖), his right foot wrapped with a thick white cast, his face shadowed with frustration. The doctor’s words were final: three weeks of rest, meaning he would miss the performance entirely — the very performance he had poured his heart into. Sitting alone in the corner of the classroom, Jack stared blankly at his script, his head hanging low. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the performance day finally arrived, Jack also stood on stage on crutches. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Sitting alone in the corner of the classroom, Jack stared blankly at his script, his head hanging low. Seeing his depression, we gathered around him, comforting him. With our support surrounding him, the heavy atmosphere began to lift. Suddenly, inspiration struck me — we could adapt the script to include his injury! Faces brightening with excitement, the group instantly cheered in agreement, their lively chatter and laughter filling the classroom. With the storyline skillfully modified, we practiced tirelessly, Jack’s crutches becoming a meaningful symbol in the play, his confidence growing as we were ready for the upcoming performance. When the performance day finally arrived, Jack also stood on stage on crutches. Though his injured leg trembled slightly, he held his head high, his bright smile lighting up his face as he scanned the cheering crowd. We acted out the drama, and our voices rang out with excitement, each line filled with our shared effort. After the performance, the audience’s applause thundered through the hall, lasting and warm. “I couldn’t have done this without you,” Jack said emotionally, his eyes shining. At that moment, we felt the power of our united class. Our big, loving family had made a miracle happen, and happiness filled every heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了学校艺术节即将到来，班级精心准备课本剧，然而主演Jack意外受伤无法登台，大家集思广益修改剧本，最终演出成功的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jack独自坐在教室角落，低着头，目光呆滞地盯着剧本。”可知，第一段可描写同学们发现Jack情绪低落后，围绕在他身边鼓励支持，并灵机一动修改剧本以适应他的伤情，体现团结友爱的精神。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出当天，Jack也拄着拐杖站在了舞台上。”可知，第二段可描写演出时Jack克服困难完成表演、获得热烈反响，以及演出后的情感升华，突出集体力量与不放弃的精神。 2.续写线索：Jack情绪低落——同学围坐安慰——灵感修改剧本——加入拐杖元素——重新排练——演出成功——Jack感动落泪——班级团结升华 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①围聚：gather around/crowd around/huddle round ②练习：practice/drill/rehearse ③颤抖：tremble/shiver 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②快乐：happiness/joy 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing his depression, we gathered around him, comforting him.

B Ahmed Kazimi’s story is a testament to how determination can transform adversity into opportunity. Working at the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Afghanistan, he has risen from a cleaning role to become an administrative assistant, representsing courage and resilience in a country marked by uncertainty. In 2014, Ahmed began as a contractor maintaining living spaces for international staff while pursuing a computer science degree. By 2017, he secured a full-time contract as an office cleaner. Though the job was humble, he took pride in his work, always striving to excel. His breakthrough came in 2021, when the Taliban’s return to power created chaos. Amid fear and instability, Ahmed s saw a chance to prove his abilities. One day, the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund team faced a critical ICT problem. Having gain basic IT skills through: self-study and colleagues’ guidance, Ahmed volunteered to help. To everyone’s s surprise, he resolved the issue efficiently. This success opened doors: the team entrusted him with more responsibilities, from data management to coordinating meetings. In 2023, he applied for an administrative assistant position and was selected after a strict interview process. Ahmed credits his colleagues, especially his mentor Ibrahim, for recognizing his potential. “They saw beyond my job title,” he says. His family’s encouragement — particularly his wife’s support t in balancing work and studies — was also vital. “Juggling a full-time job, family, and classes was tough, but staying organized and prioritizing tasks helped,” he explains. Today, Ahmed takes pride in contributing to OCHA’s mission of aiding Afghan communities. His journey reflects how small acts of courage — like volunteering for a challenging task or pursuing education despite obstacles — can lead to profound changes. As he often tells others, “Adversity is not a stop sign; it’s a detour.” 4. What can we learn about Ahmed from Paragraph 2? A. He became a full-time cleaner in 2014. B. He studied computer science while working. C. He struggled to find a stable job in Afghanistan. D. He volunteered for IT tasks during the Taliban rule. 5. Why did Ahmed succeed in solving g the ICT problem? A. He had pro professional IT training. B. His mentor Ibrahim offered direct help. C. The Taliban government supported his efforts. D. He taught himself IT skills and his workmates also helped. 6. What does the underlined word “Juggling” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Managing. B. Balancing. C. Addressing. D. Simplifying. 7. What does Ahmed’s experience show? A. Fortune favors the brave. B. It’s never too old to learn. C. Opportunities do not wait. D. Rome was not built in a day. C In our hyper-connected world of social media, there’s a refreshing cure — one that’s good for your mental health, reduces stress and anxiety and even helps your immune system: being in nature. While any time spent outdoors is advantageous, there’s a “prescription” that can help you get the most benefits. It’s spending 20 minutes in your local park three days per week, five hours in a nature preserve each month and three days immersed in the backcountry once a year. It’s called the 20-5-3 rule, and it’s a science-backed formula that could revolutionize how we think about outdoor time. Florence Williams, author of Nature Fix and Heartbreak, tells Yahoo Life: “Having a general guideline like this could be helpful to some people. It’s worth noting that it’s important for each of us to tune into what we need in a particular week or year.” Williams explain that when we’re experiencing extra stress, pain or heartbreak, we might need more time in everyday nature spaces or in deep wilderness. “The emerging science is an opportunity for us to notice how we feel when we’re outside, to recognize which elements of nature we most respond to and to prioritize doing the things that give us the restoration we need,” she says. While spending time in your local park is beneficial, it requires s more frequent exposure to achieve the same stress-reducing benefits as a deep wilderness experience. That’s because in urban green spaces, we’re often still tied to our devices and surrounded by city sounds. It can be more like “nature-lite” if we’re not intentional about the time we spend outdoors. The numbers back this up. Research shows that while a 20-minute walk in nature lowers stress hormones, these levels often bounce back within hours in urban settings. Compare this to multi-day wilderness experiences, where studies have documented health benefits lasting up to a month. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By giving a definition. B.

It’s hard to overstate the power of the nose — research says humans can tell apart more than a trillion odors. This is especially impressive when you remember that each odor is a chemical with a unique structure. Experts have been trying to find patterns or logic in how chemical structure determines smell, which would make it much easier to artificially copy scents or discover new ones. But that’s extremely difficult — two very similarly structured chemicals could smell very different. When identifying smells is such a complicated task, scientists are asking: Can we get a computer to do it? Smell remains more mysterious to scientists than our senses of sight or hearing. While we can “map” what we see as a range of light wavelengths, and what we hear as a range of sound waves with frequencies and loudness, we have no such understanding for smell. In new research, published in September 2023 in the journal Science, scientists trained a computer system with 5, 000 substances from two perfume databases of odorants — molecules that have a smell and matching smell labels like “fruity” or “cheesy.” The AI was then able to create a “main odor map” that visually showed the connections between different smells. When the researchers showed the AI a new molecule, the program could describe what it would smell like. The research team then asked a group of 15 adults with different racial backgrounds living near Philadelphia to smell and describe that same odor. They found that “the computer system’s descriptions are better than the average person in the group, most of the time,” says Alex Wiltschko, one of the authors of the new paper. Wiltschko is the CEO and co-founder of Osmo, a company whose goal is “to give computers a sense of smell” and that worked with researchers from Google and various US universities. This study not only opens up new ways to understand the complex world of smells but also prepares for the use of AI in fields such as perfume making, food quality control, and even disease detection, where smell clues may play an important role. However, challenges remain, as the AI’s understanding of smell still depends on existing data, and the personal nature of human smell perception (感知) means there’s still a long way to go before way to go before computers can truly “smell” like humans do. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. Humans can distinguish numerous odors. B. Experts have found ways to determine smells. C. Similar-structured chemicals can produce different odors. D. Identifying smells is challenging for humans and computers. 13. Why does smell remain a mystery to scientists? A. It hasn’t been visually mapped. B. Different smells don’t connect. C. It isn’t the same as sight or hearing. D. The trained AI can’t tell smells apart. 14. What can we learn about the new research? A. The “main odor map” was created to store smell data. B. The study was conducted by Osmo without external cooperation. C. The AI’s description about new molecules’ smells were more accurate. D. The computer system was trained with 5,000 randomly chosen chemical 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What is Odor? B. How to Tell Odor? C. Will We See Odor? D. Can You Identify Odor? 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。 Science-Backed Tips to Improve Your Sleep Routine Getting enough quality sleep is essential for health, but many struggle with falling or staying asleep. Here are science-backed strategies to improve your sleep routine, from morning habits to bedtime rituals. ____16____ Establish a Consistent Morning Routine Your sleep cycle starts the moment you wake up. Aim to rise at the same time daily, even on weekends, to regulate your body’s internal clock. First thing in the morning, expose yourself to natural daylight — this helps reset your circadian rhythm. A balanced breakfast with protein and fiber (like eggs and oatmeal) fuels your day and stabilizes blood sugar. If possible, add a morning walk or light exercise to boost energy and tire your body gently. ____17____ ____18____ At night, swap white light bulbs for amber or red ones. These warm tones are less stimulating and trigger melatonin production, the hormone that makes you sleepy. Use “night mode” on devices to dim screens to a yellowish hue, and avoid phones, laptops, or tablets for at least an hour before bed. The blue light from these devices suppresses melatonin and keeps your brain alert. Take a Warm Bath or Shower About 75-90 minute before bedtime, soak in a warm bath or enjoy a steamy shower. The heat raises your body temperature, and as you cool down afterward, it signals your body that it’s time to sleep. Studies show that a slightly lower core temperature promotes deeper, more restful sleep. Practice Relaxation Through Imagery Wind down with a short nature meditation. Close your eyes and visualize a peaceful scene — a quiet forest a sunny beach, or a misty mountain. Focus on your breathing and imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of your chosen environment. ____19____ As a result, it calms both mind and body, making it easier to drift into sleep. ____20____ You can also create a sleep routine that helps you unwind naturally and wake up feeling refreshed. Sweet dream! A. Adjust sleep-friendly evening lighting. B. Avoid caffeine to prevent sleep disruptions. C. A cool bedroom temperature aids in falling asleep faster. D. Consistency is key to regulating your body’s internal clock. E. Combining these habits can transform your sleep quality over time. F. This mindfulness practice lowers stress and prepares your mind for sleep. G. These steps help your body recognize when it’s time to wake up and wind down. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Twelve years ago, I was admitted to a children’s hospital for heart surgery due to a birth defect.

Our class had worked tire y to prepare a brilliant textbook drama, hoping to amaze the audience with our performance. Every afternoon, we gathered in the classroom for rehearsals, our voices echoing through the halls. Our cooperation was becoming increasingly harmonious with each passing day. With scripts (剧本) in hand and enthusiasm in our hearts, we practiced diligently, our laughter mixing with the sound of hurried footsteps and dramatic recitations. Lucy, with her thorough attention to detail, adjusted the props (道具) repeatedly, ensuring every layout was perfect. Tom, his fingers flying across the laptop keyboard, fine-tuned the background music, while I carefully noted down stage directions, my pen scratching against the paper. But the biggest surprise was Jack — usually quiet and reserved, he was transformed into a charming actor on stage, his voice rich with emotion, his expressions so vivid that they drew thunderous applause from the rest of us. However, an accident t struck on a sunny weekend afternoon. While playing football with friends, Jack twisted his ankle badly, the sharp pain shooting up his leg as he collapsed onto the grass. By Monday, he arrived at school on crutches (拐杖), his right foot wrapped with a thick white cast, his face shadowed with frustration. The doctor’s words were final: three weeks of rest, meaning he would miss the performance entirely — the very performance he had poured his heart into. Sitting alone in the corner of the classroom, Jack stared blankly at his script, his head hanging low. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the performance day finally arrived, Jack also stood on stage on crutches. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
