Over the past 15 years, Chinese scientist Peng Fang has gone on scientific expeditions (考察) at the North and South poles 3 times. In polar blinding whiteness, her gloved hands carefully collect ice samples for invisible microorganisms to the naked eye. Her mission is to decode how microscopic bacteria endure extreme cold, radiation, and endless polar days—knowledge that may revolutionize human medicine and agriculture. “These tiny bacteria have so many strategies, which I find very interesting. Interest is crucial for learning and research, and polar expeditions help me maintain a long-term interest in my field,” the scientist said.
Her frequent journeys with her team have enabled Peng to really get to know her fellow researchers. “In the polar regions, especially on polar research vessels (科研船) where there is no internet, everyone lives together for several months or even half a year, leading to a lot of conversations.” Peng said. She jokingly added, “By the time we get off, we all know each other’s ancestors up to the eighth generation.”
In Peng’s experience, polar expeditions succeed through mutual respect and complementary (互补的) strengths. Men shoulder heavy equipment, women often bring careful preparations—planning routes, packing supplies, remembering essentials like sunscreen the men might overlook.
“True equality,” Peng says firmly, “means everyone bears their own responsibilities, regardless of gender roles. It’s about capability and cooperation, not special treatment.” With her leadership, her team has achieved a remarkable achievement: discovering over half of the world’s new species of polar microorganisms. For her, the poles demand not just scientific brilliance, but the enduring strength found in unity and shared purpose.
4. What is Peng Fang’s main mission in polar expeditions?
A. To experience the unique beauty at the Poles.
B. To escape modern life for a while.
C. To demonstrate female leadership in polar research.
D. To study microorganisms living in extreme environments.
5. What does Peng’s joke about “knowing ancestors” suggest?
A. Team members share family histories in detail.
B. Living in isolation leads to deep personal connections.
C. Polar expeditions require strict team discipline.
D. Researchers must pass a family tree test before expeditions.
6 What can we infer about Peng Fang’s research team?
A. Divided and traditional.
B. Isolated and hardworking.
C. Cooperative and successful.
D. Outstanding and independent.
7. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Tiny Bacteria, Big Harvest: Peng Fang and her team on ice
B. Surviving the Extreme: Life at the Poles
C. Peng Fang: A Leading Polar Microbiologist
D. Beyond Gender: Equality in Scientific Expedition

Have you ever struggled to concentrate after a sleepless night? New research shows that sleep plays a critical role in cognitive (认知的) functions such as memory, decision-making, and creativity. Scientists now understand that lack of sleep can damage the brain’s ability to process information effectively.
A study published in Nature Neuroscience found that insufficient sleep reduces the brain’s ability to form new memories. Researchers monitored participants’ brain activity while they learned new tasks. Those who slept less than six hours showed weaker activity in the hippocampus (海马体), a brain region responsible for memory formation. “Sleep is like a filing system for our brains,” explained Dr. Sarah Walker, lead researcher. “It helps us organize and store information for later use.”
Sleep also affects emotional regulation. A lack of sleep can make people more irritable and less able to control their impulses. This is because the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质), which manages decision-making and self-control, becomes less active when sleep-starved. On the contrast, a good night’s sleep improves our ability to handle stress and make rational choices.
Creativity is another area influenced by sleep. A 2023 study from the University of California, Berkeley, discovered that people who slept well after learning a task performed better on creative problem-solving tests. The researchers believe that during deep sleep, the brain connects unrelated ideas, leading to innovative thinking.
For teenagers, sleep is especially important. Adolescents need 8-10 hours of sleep nightly to support brain development. Unfortunately, many teens suffer from lack of sleep due to academic pressure and excessive screen time. This can lead to declining grades, increased risk of mental health issues, and even physical health problems like obesity.
“Parents and educators should prioritize ‘sleepy’ students,” advised Dr. Walker. “A well-rested brain is a better learner.”
8. What happens to people who sleep less than six hours?
A. They become more creative.
B They handle stress better.
C. Their brain activity in the hippocampus weakens.
D. Their prefrontal cortex becomes more active.
9. What does the underlined word “irritable” mean in paragraph 3?
A. angry B. calm
C. energetic D. forgetful
10. Why is sleep important for teenagers?
A. It helps them form new friendships.
B. It supports brain development and academic performance.
C. It reduces the risk of physical injuries.
D. It improves their ability to use technology.
11. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To advise teenagers to reduce screen time.
B. To compare sleep’s effects on creativity and emotions.
C. To describe how lack of sleep damages memory formation.
D. To explain the importance of sleep for cognitive functions.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了睡眠对认知功能如记忆、决策、创造力和情绪调节等方面的重要性,尤其强调了对青少年的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Those who slept less than six hours showed weaker activity in the hippocampus (海马体), a brain region responsible for memory formation.(那些睡眠不足6小时的人海马体(负责记忆形成的大脑区域)的活动较弱。)”可知,睡眠不足6小时的人海马体的活动减弱。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“A lack of sleep can make people more irritable and less able to control their impulses.(睡眠不足会让人更irritable,更无法控制自己的冲动。)”以及“This is because the prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮质), which manages decision-making and self-control, becomes less active when sleep-starved.(这是因为负责决策和自我控制的前额叶皮质在睡眠不足时会变得不那么活跃)”可知,睡眠不足会导致前额叶皮质不那么活跃,从而让人更无法控制自己的冲动,由此可推测出睡眠不足会让人更“易怒”。irritable意思是“愤怒的”。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“For teenagers, sleep is especially important. Adolescents need 8-10 hours of sleep nightly to support brain development. Unfortunately, many teens suffer from lack of sleep due to academic pressure and excessive screen time. This can lead to declining grades, increased risk of mental health issues, and even physical health problems like obesity.(对于青少年来说,睡眠尤其重要。青少年每晚需要8-10小时的睡眠来支持大脑发育。不幸的是,由于学业压力和过度使用屏幕时间,许多青少年睡眠不足。这可能导致成绩下降,增加心理健康问题的风险,甚至导致肥胖等身体健康问题。)”可知,睡眠对青少年很重要是因为它支持大脑发育和学业成绩。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“New research shows that sleep plays a critical role in cognitive (认知的) functions such as memory, decision-making, and creativity.(新的研究表明,睡眠在记忆、决策和创造力等认知功能中起着关键作用。)”可知,全文对睡眠在认知功能中的重要性进行阐述,这篇文章的目的是解释睡眠对认知功能的重要性。故选D。

Shortly after Snapchat released its My AI chatbot to all users last May, Diana Lee, a mother from East Prairie, Missouri, told her 13-year-old daughter to stay away from the feature.
“It’s a temporary solution until I know more about it and can set some healthy boundaries and guidelines,” said Lee, who works at a software company. She worries about how My AI presents itself to young users like her daughter on Snapchat.
My AI is powered by the viral AI chatbot tool ChatGPT and like ChatGPT, it can offer recommendations, answer questions and talk with users. But Snapchat’s version has some key differences: users can customize the chatbot’s name, design a custom avatar (定制头像) for it, and bring it into conversations with friends.
The net effect is that talking with Snapchat’s chatbot may feel less impersonal than visiting ChatGPT’s website. It also may be less clear you’re talking to a computer
“I don’t think I’m prepared to know how to teach my kid how to emotionally separate humans and machines when they essentially look the same from her point of view,” Lee said. “I just think there is a really clear line Snapchat is crossing.”
The new tool is facing oppositions not only from parents but also from some Snapchat users who are flooding the app with bad reviews in the app store and criticisms on social media over privacy concerns, “weird” exchanges and an inability to remove the feature from their chat feed unless they pay for unlocking it.
While some may find value in the tool, the mixed reactions hint at the risks companies face in launching new generative AI technology to their products, and particularly in products like Snapchat, whose users skew (偏向) younger.
Snapchat was an early launch partner when OpenAI opened up access to ChatGPT to third-party businesses, with many more expected to follow. Almost overnight, Snapchat has forced some families and lawmakers to deal with questions that may have seemed theoretical only months ago.
12. How does Snapchat’s My AI differ from ChatGPT according to the text?
A. It cannot answer users’ questions.
B It requires payment for all users.
C. It clearly identifies itself as a computer program.
D. Users can personalize it and add it to friend chats.
13. What concerns Diana Lee about My AI?
A. Its high subscription cost.
B. Its technical failures in conversations.
C. Its unclear human-machine boundaries for teens.
D. Its competition with other chatbots like ChatGPT.
14. What is paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. Public resistance and various complaints targeting My AI.
B. The technical advantages of My AI over traditional chatbots.
C. Government regulations on social media features.
D. Age characteristics of Snapchat’s primary users.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. OpenAI limits ChatGPT access to only a few businesses.
B. AI concerns have suddenly become urgent real-life issues.
C. Families and lawmakers had fully discussed AI problems earlier.
D. Snapchat’s action will discourage other companies from using AI.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Snapchat推出的My AI聊天机器人,它与ChatGPT有不同之处,该工具面临家长和部分用户的反对,也暗示了公司推出新生成式AI技术的风险。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“My AI is powered by the viral AI chatbot tool ChatGPT and like ChatGPT, it can offer recommendations, answer questions and talk with users. But Snapchat’s version has some key differences: users can customize the chatbot’s name, design a custom avatar (定制头像) for it, and bring it into conversations with friends. (我的人工智能是由人工智能聊天机器人工具ChatGPT驱动的,像ChatGPT一样,它可以提供建议,回答问题并与用户交谈。但Snapchat的版本有一些关键区别:用户可以自定义聊天机器人的名字,为它设计一个定制头像,并将它带入与朋友的对话中)”可知,Snapchat的My AI与ChatGPT的不同之处在于用户可以对其进行个性化设置并将它添加到与朋友的聊天中。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“‘I don’t think I’m prepared to know how to teach my kid how to emotionally separate humans and machines when they essentially look the same from her point of view,’ Lee said. (李说:“我认为我还没准备好知道如何教我的孩子在从她的角度看人类和机器本质上看起来一样的情况下,如何在情感上区分人类和机器。”)”可知,Diana Lee担心的是My AI对于青少年来说,人机界限不清晰。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第六段“The new tool is facing oppositions not only from parents but also from some Snapchat users who are flooding the app with bad reviews in the app store and criticisms on social media over privacy concerns, ‘weird’ exchanges and an inability to remove the feature from their chat feed unless they pay for unlocking it. (这个新工具不仅面临着家长的反对,还面临着一些Snapchat用户的反对,他们在应用商店里给这款应用大量差评,并在社交媒体上批评它,原因包括隐私担忧、‘奇怪’的交流以及除非付费解锁,否则无法从聊天界面中移除该功能)”可知,第六段主要讲的是公众对My AI的抵制和各种抱怨。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Almost overnight, Snapchat has forced some families and lawmakers to deal with questions that may have seemed theoretical only months ago. (几乎一夜之间,Snapchat迫使一些家庭和立法者去处理几个月前可能还只是理论上的问题)”可知,Snapchat迫使一些家庭和立法者去处理几个月前可能还只是理论上的问题,说明人工智能相关的担忧突然变成了紧迫的现实问题。故选B项。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)
根据短文内容,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。
Green Roofs: Breathing Life into Concrete Jungles
Imagine concrete jungles turning into living landscapes. Across global cities, rooftops are being transformed into gardens, creating what we call green roofs. ____16____ Originally popularized in Germany in the 1960s, this innovative approach is now a worldwide nature-based solution to urban environmental crises, demonstrating how cities can harmonize with ecosystems.
Natural Cooling Systems
The most immediate benefit lies in cooling overheated cities. ____17____ The soil and plants act as natural blockers, reducing surface temperatures by up to 40°C in summer. This significantly decreases the “urban heat island” effect where cities become markedly warmer than surrounding rural areas. Consequently, buildings require less air conditioning. Such temperature regulation also improves air quality by reducing ozone formation.
Stormwater Managers
Another critical function involves managing stormwater. During heavy rainfalls, traditional roofs cause rapid runoff, often resulting in drainage systems overflowing. Green roofs work like sponges, absorbing about 70% of rainfall. And through their layered structure of soil, drainage mats, and plants, green roofs also filter heavy metals and pollutants from rainwater. ____18____
Biodiversity Sanctuaries (保护区)
These raised gardens also create vital habitats for birds, insects, and pollinators (传粉者) in areas where natural spaces are rare. Even simple green roofs with native plants support dozens of insect species. ____19____. Urban ecologists confirm that such mini-ecosystems strengthen city recovery ability by maintaining pollination networks and natural pest control. In cities like London and Chicago, rare bird species have been observed nesting on high-rise green roofs.
____20____ From lowering energy bills to creating wildlife corridors and reducing flood risks, green roofs demonstrate how mixing architecture with ecology can build healthier, more sustainable cities for our future. As climate change worsens, these sky-high gardens symbolize humanity’s potential to coexist creatively with nature.
A. These habitats play a key role in urban ecology
B. Thus, they prevent water pollution effectively
C. Green roofs offer multiple environmental benefits
D. Research claims that they remove heat islands entirely
E. This is achieved by adding plants and soil on rooftops
F. Such designs also lower construction costs significantly
G. This concept represents a shift from fighting nature to working with it
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】

It was the final round of the city piano competition. Emma sat backstage, her fingers trembling slightly as they hovered over the keys of her sheet music. She had practiced this piece for months, yet now every note seemed to blur into a tangled mess. The memory of last year’s failure ____21____ her mind — the missed chords, the awkward pause, the cold silence of the audience.
“Contestant number 12, Emma Wilson,” the announcer called. Emma took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. The spotlight’s glare made her ____22____, but as her hands touched the keys, a strange calm settled over her. The opening melody flowed smoothly, each note filled with the ____23____ she had poured into her practice.
Halfway through the piece, however, her mind ____24____. A complex passage she had mastered countless times suddenly felt foreign. Her left hand froze. Panic surged through her, and for a moment, she considered ____25____. Just then, the calm voice of her teacher, Mrs. Reed, seemed to echo in her ears: “Mistakes are just ____26____ to learn and grow.”
Taking a deep breath, Emma closed her eyes. Letting go of the sheet music, she allowed her emotions to guide her hands. Fantastically, the music ____27____ into a blend of the original composition and her own improvisation (即兴演奏). To her amazement, the audience began to sway gently, ____28____ by this unexpected authenticity.
When the final note faded, the hall erupted into applause. Emma’s eyes welled up, not because she had ____29____ perfection, but because she had finally ____30____ the fear that once overwhelmed her. Backstage, Mrs. Reed embraced her warmly. “That wasn’t just a performance,” she whispered, her voice thick with ____31____. “It was a conversation between you and the music.”
Emma nodded, finally understanding that art wasn’t about ____32____ every technical detail, but about expressing something deeper. Later, when the results were announced, she didn’t win first place — but to her ____33____, she received the “Most Courageous Performer” award. The judge remarked, “True artistry lies not in avoiding making mistakes, but in how you ____34____ them into success.”
Walking home that night, Emma glanced at the starry sky. She realized that life, like music, required both discipline and the ____35____ to embrace imperfection. This was just the beginning.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道2025年1月14 日,马斯达尔主办的世界未来能源峰会在阿布扎比召开,聚焦可再生能源等,助力全球气候行动与可持续发展。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2025年1月14日,作为阿布扎比可持续发展周的一部分,由马斯达尔主办的2025年世界未来能源峰会在ADNEC中心开幕。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰“the World Future Energy Summit 2025”,“host”与“the World Future Energy Summit 2025”之间是被动关系,即峰会被马斯达尔主办,所以用过去分词 “hosted”作后置定语。故填hosted。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:2025年1月14日,作为阿布扎比可持续发展周的一部分,由马斯达尔主办的2025年世界未来能源峰会在ADNEC中心开幕。根据时间状语“On 14th January 2025”可知,该动作发生在过去,所以用一般过去时,“start”的过去式是“started”。故填started。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这个为期三天的会议将成为全球气候行动的一个信号,旨在推动3000多名与会者之间的合作,其中包括国家元首、部长和技术创新者。“signal”是可数名词单数,这里表示“一个信号”,是泛指,且“signal”是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词 “a”。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:这个为期三天的会议将成为全球气候行动的一个信号,旨在推动3000多名与会者之间的合作,其中包括国家元首、部长和技术创新者。“aim to do sth.”是固定用法,表示“旨在做某事”,所以这里用动词不定式“to drive”。故填to drive。
【40题详解】
考查动名词。句意:峰会以可再生能源解决方案为重点,举办了34场会议,专家们讨论了人工智能和太阳能如何加速可持续发展。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,“focus” 与“the summit”之间是主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填Focusing。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:峰会以可再生能源解决方案为重点,举办了34场会议,专家们讨论了人工智能和太阳能如何加速可持续发展。“development”是名词,前面需要用形容词修饰,“sustain”的形容词是“sustainable”,表示“可持续的”。故填sustainable。
【42题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:400多家参展商展示了太阳能、电动汽车、清洁能源、水和废物管理等领域的突破性技术,与会者探讨了实现净零排放的方法。“approach to sth.”是固定搭配,表示“……的方法”,所以这里用“to”。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:这次会议的成功不仅在于它的规模,还在于它对循环经济原则的强调。“not only...but (also)...” 是固定句型,表示“不但…… 而且……”,所以这里用 “but”。故填but。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:所有的讨论最终都集中在环境友好和经济上实际可行的解决办法上。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词是“solutions”,指物,且在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词“that”或“which”引导。故填that/which。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:所有的讨论最终都集中在环境友好和经济上实际可行的解决办法上。“practical”是形容词,前面需要用副词修饰,“economic”副词为“economically”。故填economically。

47. 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。
It was a little before 11 on a sunny morning. When Michael Armus entered the Bank of the West in Woodland to make a deposit, he felt the tension. “Something is not right.” Normally, whenever Armus visited, he’d be greeted with loud cheers from the tellers (出纳员). But today, none of the tellers acknowledged him. Armus noticed a man at one window with his T-shirt pulled up to partially hide his face.
The man passed a note to the teller, demanding cash and saying he had a gun. The man’s shirt had dropped a bit, exposing more of his face. Armus recognized the would-be robber as someone who was living on a street corner. Suddenly, instead of being afraid, Armus felt sympathy for him.
He approached the man and calmly asked what had happened to him. The man exclaimed, “There is nothing for me. I just want to go to prison, let the police arrest me.” Surprisingly, Armus wrapped the man in his arms. The man began to sob in his embrace. The two might have stood like that for hours if the Woodland police had not arrived! After the police arrived, they realized Armus was not involved in the bank robbery and let him go.
The man, who was eventually charged with attempted robbery, never had a gun. But Armus didn’t know that. “Love overcomes all things, and the world needs more kindness,” he says.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The police took the man away, but Armus couldn’t stop thinking about him.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few weeks later, Armus decided to visit the man in prison.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
The police took the man away, but Armus couldn’t stop thinking about him. He wondered what had driven the man to such desperation. Was it poverty, loneliness, or simply a cry for help? That evening, Armus searched online for news about the incident and learned the man’s name-Daniel. He had lost his job and home months ago. The more Armus read, the more his heart ached. He recalled Daniel’s broken voice and the way he had melted into his embrace. Determined to help, Armus contacted a local shelter, asking if they could support Daniel after his release.
A few weeks later, Armus decided to visit the man in prison. When they met, Daniel’s eyes widened in recognition, then filled with shame. “Why are you here?” he muttered. Armus smiled gently. “Because everyone deserves a second chance.” He shared his plan: a job opportunity at the shelter and a temporary place to stay. Tears welled up in Daniel’s eyes as he whispered, “Thank you.” On his way out, Armus realized that kindness wasn’t just about grand gestures — it was about seeing the humanity in others and offering hope when they needed it most.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Michael Armus在银行偶遇企图抢劫的男子Daniel,他没有选择退缩或报警,而是用拥抱和关爱化解了紧张局势。得知Daniel的困境后,Armus决定伸出援手,联系庇护所为他提供帮助,并在Daniel入狱后探望他,给予他重新开始的机会。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“警察把那个人带走了,但Armus无法停止对他的思念。”可知,第一段可描写Armus对Daniel的遭遇感到同情,并决定帮助他,于是他联系了当地的收容所,询问是否可以在Daniel出狱后为他提供支持。
②由第二段首句内容“几周后,Armus决定去监狱探望那个人。”可知,第二段可描写Armus在监狱见到Daniel,并告诉他自己为他安排了一个在收容所的工作机会和临时住所,Daniel深受感动,Armus也意识到善良的意义。
2.续写线索:无法停止对Daniel的思念——了解Daniel的遭遇——决定帮助Daniel——联系收容所——去监狱探望Daniel——告诉Daniel自己的计划——Daniel深受感动——意识到善良的意义
3.词汇激活
行为类
①搜索:search for/look for/hunt for
②联系:contact/get in touch with/reach out to
③帮助:help/assist/give a hand

Over the past 15 years, Chinese scientist Peng Fang has gone on scientific expeditions (考察) at the North and South poles 3 times. In polar blinding whiteness, her gloved hands carefully collect ice samples for invisible microorganisms to the naked eye. Her mission is to decode how microscopic bacteria endure extreme cold, radiation, and endless polar days—knowledge that may revolutionize human medicine and agriculture. “These tiny bacteria have so many strategies, which I find very interesting. Interest is crucial for learning and research, and polar expeditions help me maintain a long-term interest in my field,” the scientist said.
Her frequent journeys with her team have enabled Peng to really get to know her fellow researchers. “In the polar regions, especially on polar research vessels (科研船) where there is no internet, everyone lives together for several months or even half a year, leading to a lot of conversations.” Peng said. She jokingly added, “By the time we get off, we all know each other’s ancestors up to the eighth generation.”
In Peng’s experience, polar expeditions succeed through mutual respect and complementary (互补的) strengths. Men shoulder heavy equipment, women often bring careful preparations—planning routes, packing supplies, remembering essentials like sunscreen the men might overlook.
“True equality,” Peng says firmly, “means everyone bears their own responsibilities, regardless of gender roles. It’s about capability and cooperation, not special treatment.” With her leadership, her team has achieved a remarkable achievement: discovering over half of the world’s new species of polar microorganisms. For her, the poles demand not just scientific brilliance, but the enduring strength found in unity and shared purpose.

Have you ever struggled to concentrate after a sleepless night? New research shows that sleep plays a critical role in cognitive (认知的) functions such as memory, decision-making, and creativity. Scientists now understand that lack of sleep can damage the brain’s ability to process information effectively.
A study published in Nature Neuroscience found that insufficient sleep reduces the brain’s ability to form new memories. Researchers monitored participants’ brain activity while they learned new tasks. Those who slept less than six hours showed weaker activity in the hippocampus (海马体), a brain region responsible for memory formation. “Sleep is like a filing system for our brains,” explained Dr. Sarah Walker, lead researcher. “It helps us organize and store information for later use.”
Sleep also affects emotional regulation. A lack of sleep can make people more irritable and less able to control their impulses. This is because the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质), which manages decision-making and self-control, becomes less active when sleep-starved. On the contrast, a good night’s sleep improves our ability to handle stress and make rational choices.
Creativity is another area influenced by sleep. A 2023 study from the University of California, Berkeley, discovered that people who slept well after learning a task performed better on creative problem-solving tests. The researchers believe that during deep sleep, the brain connects unrelated ideas, leading to innovative thinking.
For teenagers, sleep is especially important. Adolescents need 8-10 hours of sleep nightly to support brain development. Unfortunately, many teens suffer from lack of sleep due to academic pressure and excessive screen time. This can lead to declining grades, increased risk of mental health issues, and even physical health problems like obesity.
“Parents and educators should prioritize ‘sleepy’ students,” advised Dr. Walker. “A well-rested brain is a better learner.”
8. What happens to people who sleep less than six hours?
A. They become more creative.
B. They handle stress better.
C. Their brain activity in the hippocampus weakens.
D. Their prefrontal cortex becomes more active.
9. What does the underlined word “irritable” mean in paragraph 3?
A. angry B. calm
C. energetic D. forgetful
10. Why is sleep important for teenagers?
A. It helps them form new friendships.
B. It supports brain development and academic performance.
C. It reduces the risk of physical injuries.
D. It improves their ability to use technology.
11. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To advise teenagers to reduce screen time.
B. To compare sleep’s effects on creativity and emotions.
C. To describe how lack of sleep damages memory formation.
D. To explain the importance of sleep for cognitive functions.

Shortly after Snapchat released its My AI chatbot to all users last May, Diana Lee, a mother from East Prairie, Missouri, told her 13-year-old daughter to stay away from the feature.
“It’s a temporary solution until I know more about it and can set some healthy boundaries and guidelines,” said Lee, who works at a software company. She worries about how My AI presents itself to young users like her daughter on Snapchat.
My AI is powered by the viral AI chatbot tool ChatGPT and like ChatGPT, it can offer recommendations, answer questions and talk with users. But Snapchat’s version has some key differences: users can customize the chatbot’s name, design a custom avatar (定制头像) for it, and bring it into conversations with friends.
The net effect is that talking with Snapchat’s chatbot may feel less impersonal than visiting ChatGPT’s website. It also may be less clear you’re talking to a computer
“I don’t think I’m prepared to know how to teach my kid how to emotionally separate humans and machines when they essentially look the same from her point of view,” Lee said. “I just think there is a really clear line Snapchat is crossing.”
The new tool is facing oppositions not only from parents but also from some Snapchat users who are flooding the app with bad reviews in the app store and criticisms on social media over privacy concerns, “weird” exchanges and an inability to remove the feature from their chat feed unless they pay for unlocking it.
While some may find value in the tool, the mixed reactions hint at the risks companies face in launching new generative AI technology to their products, and particularly in products like Snapchat, whose users skew (偏向) younger.
Snapchat was an early launch partner when OpenAI opened up access to ChatGPT to third-party businesses, with many more expected to follow. Almost overnight, Snapchat has forced some families and lawmakers to deal with questions that may have seemed theoretical only months ago.
12. How does Snapchat’s My AI differ from ChatGPT according to the text?
A. It cannot answer users’ questions.
B. It requires payment for all users.
C. It clearly identifies itself as a computer program.
D. Users can personalize it and add it to friend chats.
13. What concerns Diana Lee about My AI?
A. Its high subscription cost.
B. Its technical failures in conversations.
C. Its unclear human-machine boundaries for teens.
D. Its competition with other chatbots like ChatGPT.
14. What is paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. Public resistance and various complaints targeting My AI.
B. The technical advantages of My AI over traditional chatbots.
C. Government regulations on social media features.
D. Age characteristics of Snapchat’s primary users.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. OpenAI limits ChatGPT access to only a few businesses.
B. AI concerns have suddenly become urgent real-life issues.
C. Families and lawmakers had fully discussed AI problems earlier.
D. Snapchat’s action will discourage other companies from using AI.

Green Roofs: Breathing Life into Concrete Jungles
Imagine concrete jungles turning into living landscapes. Across global cities, rooftops are being transformed into gardens, creating what we call green roofs. ____16____ Originally popularized in Germany in the 1960s, this innovative approach is now a worldwide nature-based solution to urban environmental crises, demonstrating how cities can harmonize with ecosystems.
Natural Cooling Systems
The most immediate benefit lies in cooling overheated cities. ____17____ The soil and plants act as natural blockers, reducing surface temperatures by up to 40°C in summer. This significantly decreases the “urban heat island” effect where cities become markedly warmer than surrounding rural areas. Consequently, buildings require less air conditioning. Such temperature regulation also improves air quality by reducing ozone formation.
Stormwater Managers
Another critical function involves managing stormwater. During heavy rainfalls, traditional roofs cause rapid runoff, often resulting in drainage systems overflowing. Green roofs work like sponges, absorbing about 70% of rainfall. And through their layered structure of soil, drainage mats, and plants, green roofs also filter heavy metals and pollutants from rainwater. ____18____
Biodiversity Sanctuaries (保护区)
These raised gardens also create vital habitats for birds, insects, and pollinators (传粉者) in areas where natural spaces are rare. Even simple green roofs with native plants support dozens of insect species. ____19____. Urban ecologists confirm that such mini-ecosystems strengthen city recovery ability by maintaining pollination networks and natural pest control. In cities like London and Chicago, rare bird species have been observed nesting on high-rise green roofs.
____20____ From lowering energy bills to creating wildlife corridors and reducing flood risks, green roofs demonstrate how mixing architecture with ecology can build healthier, more sustainable cities for our future. As climate change worsens, these sky-high gardens symbolize humanity’s potential to coexist creatively with nature.
A. These habitats play a key role in urban ecology
B. Thus, they prevent water pollution effectively
C. Green roofs offer multiple environmental benefits
D. Research claims that they remove heat islands entirely
E. This is achieved by adding plants and soil on rooftops
F. Such designs also lower construction costs significantly
G. This concept represents a shift from fighting nature to working with it

Taking a deep breath, Emma closed her eyes. Letting go of the sheet music, she allowed her emotions to guide her hands. Fantastically, the music ____27____ into a blend of the original composition and her own improvisation (即兴演奏). To her amazement, the audience began to sway gently, ____28____ by this unexpected authenticity.
When the final note faded, the hall erupted into applause. Emma’s eyes welled up, not because she had ____29____ perfection, but because she had finally ____30____ the fear that once overwhelmed her. Backstage, Mrs. Reed embraced her warmly. “That wasn’t just a performance,” she whispered, her voice thick with ____31____. “It was a conversation between you and the music.”
Emma nodded, finally understanding that art wasn’t about ____32____ every technical detail, but about expressing something deeper. Later, when the results were announced, she didn’t win first place — but to her ____33____, she received the “Most Courageous Performer” award. The judge remarked, “True artistry lies not in avoiding making mistakes, but in how you ____34____ them into success.”
Walking home that night, Emma glanced at the starry sky. She realized that life, like music, required both discipline and the ____35____ to embrace imperfection. This was just the beginning.

It was a little before 11 on a sunny morning. When Michael Armus entered the Bank of the West in Woodland to make a deposit, he felt the tension. “Something is not right.” Normally, whenever Armus visited, he’d be greeted with loud cheers from the tellers (出纳员). But today, none of the tellers acknowledged him. Armus noticed a man at one window with his T-shirt pulled up to partially hide his face.
The man passed a note to the teller, demanding cash and saying he had a gun. The man’s shirt had dropped a bit, exposing more of his face. Armus recognized the would-be robber as someone who was living on a street corner. Suddenly, instead of being afraid, Armus felt sympathy for him.
He approached the man and calmly asked what had happened to him. The man exclaimed, “There is nothing for me. I just want to go to prison, let the police arrest me.” Surprisingly, Armus wrapped the man in his arms. The man began to sob in his embrace. The two might have stood like that for hours if the Woodland police had not arrived! After the police arrived, they realized Armus was not involved in the bank robbery and let him go.
The man, who was eventually charged with attempted robbery, never had a gun. But Armus didn’t know that. “Love overcomes all things, and the world needs more kindness,” he says.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The police took the man away, but Armus couldn’t stop thinking about him.
