As a freelance (自由职业的) writer, the structure of my workday can often vary wildly. Sometimes, it feels as if I have too much to do — other days, too little. Yet no matter the shape of my 9 to 5, one thing remains constant: emails.
About a year ago, I found my email-checking habit had become more distracting than usual. When working on my computer, I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block. Even worse, during lunch or walks, that habit of checking would come with me, making my breaks an extension of the workday.
The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image: the faster I responded, the more I was seen as reliable by my paymasters. By responding to everyone immediately, I convinced myself I could secure more work — after all, I needed to pay my electricity bills.
However, speed didn’t always mean quality. I took on too much work, not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my output. The content machine kept running, and I was busy producing “word salad” onto the internet.
After a particularly crazy week of non-stop emailing, I deleted the email app. The difference was immediately noticeable. I began to rest better. Now, my workdays remain unpredictable, but I’ve realized that a lack of structure wouldn’t stop me from setting boundaries for myself. Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I return to work. Taking a few hours to respond to messages — instead of just minutes — often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to digest requests properly.
I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry, but now I can spend my time endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead.

For more than a decade, a team of researchers have studied the dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet as it responds to a warming climate. But while much of their focus has been on water’s impacts on ice sheet change, their most recent research findings have overturned the order of their thinking. Meierbachtol, Harper and their team discovered that changes in the ice sheet have a real impact on the massive groundwater system underlying Greenland.
This latest discovery occurred thanks to a marriage of drilling techniques. International cooperators made an angled hole 650 meters through bedrock underneath a Greenland glacier (冰川) to measure groundwater conditions under the ice. Meanwhile, researchers drilled 32 holes from atop the glacier, through nearly a kilometer of ice, to measure water conditions at the area between ice and bedrock, which forms an important boundary controlling groundwater flow below. After drilling, the team fixed sensors in the ice column and at the ice sheet bed to measure ice dynamics and water conditions as water flows under the ice.
“By studying areas covered by ice 10,000 years ago, we have known that the huge mass and vast amounts of water from melting ice can impact the underlying groundwater,” Meierbachtol said. “It’s generally accepted that the groundwater is sleeping over decades to centuries and its response to ice sheet change is long: thousands of years. But what we’ve shown here is that it is immediate.”
This new understanding could have important subsequent effects on how Greenland’s thinning impacts the Arctic. The thinning ice could reduce the rate of groundwater flow to the ocean, changing the water temperature and salinity (盐度) balance that is important for ocean circulation (循环) patterns. “In thinking about the complex feedbacks from Greenland’s ongoing change, we have really ignored the groundwater component,” Harper said.
8. How do the researchers feel about the result of the recent study?
A. Surprised. B. Doubtful. C. Satisfied. D. Disappointed.
9. What contributes most to the new research about the Greenland Ice Sheet?
A. Joint efforts from global experts.
B. Advanced sensors tracking ice dynamics.
C. Ideal bedrock stability for measurements.
D. A combination of two drilling approaches.
10. What is a misunderstanding of the groundwater under glaciers?
A. Its component is complex.
B. It is inactive for a long time.
C. It has a very large volume.
D. Its temperature is changeable.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Long-lasting effects of global warming on the Arctic.
B. Water impacts on the Greenland’s permanent ice sheet.
C. Newly discovered groundwater resources in Greenland.
D. Greenland’s groundwater changes with thinning ice sheet.

A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for developing high-output corn in the U.S., appear to have lost part of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change increasing droughts, the findings hold potential for developing more drought-resistant varieties of corn.
The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. In particular, the researchers discovered that ethylene, a plant hormone (激素) known to help bananas ripen, also influences how roots grow to seek water.
For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots. They found corn varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapted to moderate regions of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil.
“Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,” said lead author Johannes Scharwies. “One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.”
Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery. In experiments with thale cress — a model plant often used in research — the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air.
Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said.
12. What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study?
A. Drought-resistant corn varieties.
B. Ethylene’s effect on fruit ripening.
C. Genetic regulation of root branching.
D. Impact of climate change on plant roots.
13. What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies’ remarks?
A. Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth.
B. Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems.
C. Root branching conserves energy for higher production.
D. Stronger hydropatterning was linked to greater root depth.
14 What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. Model plants in research.
B. Hormones’ role in root growth.
C. Genetic analysis methods.
D. Findings of previous research.
15. What does the last paragraph suggest future research do?
A. Prioritize development of new corn varieties.
B. Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions.
C. Concentrate merely on localized root responses.
D. Expand practical applications of hydropatterning.

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。
Ethan had always lived by checklists — precise and detailed. At school, he double-checked his answers, rewrote notes in perfect handwriting, and organized his pens by size and color. But the world often refused to follow his plan. A missed question, a group project gone off track, or even a messy desk could send him into hours of self-blame.
During a school event, he was struck by what was advertised on the poster of a pottery class, “Join us. Create, relax, and just be yourself.” He eagerly signed up, hoping it might ease the anxiety that had wrapped him around for long.
On the first day of their pottery workshop, Ethan arrived earlier, and spent almost an hour arranging and rearranging all the tools, the wheel, carving knives, brushes, and measuring cups... He carefully lined them up like surgical instruments. He had even watched twelve instructional videos the night before, determined to get everything right. Yet somehow, his third attempt at a simple bowl that day still exploded in the kiln (窑).
Maybe the shape was not right, Ethan thought. Ms. Alvarez, their instructor, approached Ethan and said with a warm smile, “Beginner’s tip. Don’t worry about making it perfect.” Ethan froze. The word “Perfect” hung in the air, sharp and cold. He wanted to explain, to say that “perfect” was the only way he knew how to feel safe. But the words stayed inside.
Around him, the others were making uneven (歪歪扭扭的) bowls and plates with funny-looking curves. Some were even laughing at their own “disasters”. No one seemed to mind getting it wrong. Ethan looked down at his hands, still lightly dusted with clay (黏土). For a moment, he just stared, and then realized maybe “not being perfect” wasn’t as scary as he had always thought. He let out a small, hesitant smile, turned back to the soft clay on his table, and began shaping it — ready for a fourth attempt.
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。
“Forget about making it perfect.” Ms. Alvarez’s words gently landed beside him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.”

【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍格陵兰冰盖变化影响其地下水的研究。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But while much of their focus has been on water’s impacts on ice sheet change, their most recent research findings have overturned the order of their thinking. (然而,尽管他们的大部分关注点一直集中在水对冰盖变化的影响上,他们最近的研究发现却颠覆了原有的认知)”可知,研究结果打破了研究者之前的认知,他们对结果应是感到惊讶的。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This latest discovery occurred thanks to a marriage of drilling techniques. International cooperators made an angled hole 650 meters through bedrock underneath a Greenland glacier (冰川) to measure groundwater conditions under the ice. Meanwhile, researchers drilled 32 holes from atop the glacier, through nearly a kilometer of ice, to measure water conditions at the area between ice and bedrock, which forms an important boundary controlling groundwater flow below. After drilling, the team fixed sensors in the ice column and at the ice sheet bed to measure ice dynamics and water conditions as water flows under the ice. (这一最新发现得益于钻探技术的结合。国际合作者在一个格陵兰冰川下方,以倾斜角度钻穿了650米的基岩,以测量冰层下方的地下水状况。与此同时,研究人员从冰川顶部向下钻了32个孔,穿透近一公里厚的冰层,以测量冰与基岩交界区域的水文条件,该区域是控制下方地下水流动的重要边界。钻探完成后,研究团队在冰柱内部以及冰盖底部安装了传感器,用以监测冰层动态和水流经过冰下时的水文状况)”可知,两种钻探方法的结合是新研究得以开展的关键。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It’s generally accepted that the groundwater is sleeping over decades to centuries and its response to ice sheet change is long: thousands of years. But what we’ve shown here is that it is immediate. (人们普遍认为,地下水处于“休眠”状态,其对冰盖变化的响应非常缓慢,需要数百年甚至数千年。但我们在此项研究中证明,这种响应是即时的)”可知,“地下水长期不活跃”是之前的误解。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段中“Meierbachtol, Harper and their team discovered that changes in the ice sheet have a real impact on the massive groundwater system underlying Greenland. (Meierbachtol,Harper及其团队发现,冰盖的变化确实会对格陵兰下方巨大的地下水系统产生显著影响)”可知,文章主要介绍了格陵兰冰盖变化对其下庞大的地下水系统有切实影响。故选D。
D
A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for developing high-output corn in the U.S., appear to have lost part of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change increasing droughts, the findings hold potential for developing more drought-resistant varieties of corn.
The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. In particular, the researchers discovered that ethylene, a plant hormone (激素) known to help bananas ripen, also influences how roots grow to seek water.
For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots. They found corn varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapted to moderate regions of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil.
“Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,” said lead author Johannes Scharwies. “One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.”
Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery. In experiments with thale cress — a model plant often used in research — the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air.
Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said.
12. What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study?
A. Drought-resistant corn varieties.
B. Ethylene’s effect on fruit ripening.
C. Genetic regulation of root branching.
D. Impact of climate change on plant roots.
13. What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies’ remarks?
A Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth.
B. Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems.
C. Root branching conserves energy for higher production.
D. Stronger hydropatterning was linked to greater root depth.
14. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. Model plants in research.
B. Hormones’ role in root growth.
C. Genetic analysis methods.
D. Findings of previous research.
15. What does the last paragraph suggest future research do?
A. Prioritize development of new corn varieties.
B. Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions.
C. Concentrate merely on localized root responses.
D. Expand practical applications of hydropatterning.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是斯坦福大学领导的一项研究揭示了玉米根系如何感知土壤水分并生长分支的遗传机制。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic mechanisms behind “hydropatterning”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil.(这项发表在《科学》杂志上的研究揭示了“水模式”背后的遗传机制,即植物的根是如何向水分支并避开土壤中的干燥空间的。)”可知,斯坦福大学领导的这项研究的主要焦点是根分枝的遗传调控。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,” said lead author Johannes Scharwies.(“有趣的是,更善于感知水源的植物根系也更深,”首席作者Johannes Scharwies说。)”可知,从Johannes Scharwies的话中可以推断出更强的水模式与更大的根深有关。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery.(遗传分析揭示了两种植物激素,生长素和乙烯,在玉米根系对水的反应中起作用。虽然已知生长素有助于控制这一过程,但乙烯的参与是一个新发现。)”可知,第五段主要讲的是激素在根生长中的作用。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said.(研究人员说,在培育出具有更抗旱根系的玉米品种之前,需要进一步的研究来更好地了解这些遗传途径的相互作用,但是这些发现强调了研究根尖上这些局部反应的重要性。)”可知,最后一段建议未来的研究找出基因相互作用的机制。故选B。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Ethan had always lived by checklists — precise and detailed. At school, he double-checked his answers, rewrote notes in perfect handwriting, and organized his pens by size and color. But the world often refused to follow his plan. A missed question, a group project gone off track, or even a messy desk could send him into hours of self-blame.
During a school event, he was struck by what was advertised on the poster of a pottery class, “Join us. Create, relax, and just be yourself.” He eagerly signed up, hoping it might ease the anxiety that had wrapped him around for long.
On the first day of their pottery workshop, Ethan arrived earlier, and spent almost an hour arranging and rearranging all the tools, the wheel, carving knives, brushes, and measuring cups... He carefully lined them up like surgical instruments. He had even watched twelve instructional videos the night before, determined to get everything right. Yet somehow, his third attempt at a simple bowl that day still exploded in the kiln (窑).
Maybe the shape was not right, Ethan thought. Ms. Alvarez, their instructor, approached Ethan and said with a warm smile, “Beginner’s tip. Don’t worry about making it perfect.” Ethan froze. The word “Perfect” hung in the air, sharp and cold. He wanted to explain, to say that “perfect” was the only way he knew how to feel safe. But the words stayed inside.
Around him, the others were making uneven (歪歪扭扭的) bowls and plates with funny-looking curves. Some were even laughing at their own “disasters”. No one seemed to mind getting it wrong. Ethan looked down at his hands, still lightly dusted with clay (黏土). For a moment, he just stared, and then realized maybe “not being perfect” wasn’t as scary as he had always thought. He let out a small, hesitant smile, turned back to the soft clay on his table, and began shaping it — ready for a fourth attempt.
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。
“Forget about making it perfect.” Ms. Alvarez’s words gently landed beside him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Forget about making it perfect.” Ms. Alvarez’s words gently landed beside him. Hearing this, Ethan hesitated, then closed his notebook and let his fingers press into the clay with no checklist. His hands worked clumsily at first, but soon the rhythm of shaping took over, each motion less about worry and more about exploration. Halfway through, Ethan pressed too hard while shaping — the curve got a little uneven. He glanced at Ms. Alvarez, remembering her gentle voice. Just this once, he decided not to start over. Ms. Alvarez watched him, offering gentle encouragement. With her guidance, Ethan carefully placed his newly formed clay piece into the kiln.
“Now,” Ms. Alvarez said to Ethan with a smile, “let’s wait.” He stepped back from the warm glow of the kiln, a sense of quiet anticipation settling within him. It wasn’t the anxiety about perfection, but a quiet curiosity about what might emerge. When the kiln finally cooled and the pieces were revealed, Ms. Alvarez came over, pride shining in her eyes. “Beautiful work, Ethan.” “Thank you for reminding me it didn’t have to be perfect,” Ethan murmured, his lips curling into a small, relieved smile. The bowl was far from perfect. But it held its shape and was unique. For once, he didn’t feel the urge to fix it, to start over, to make it match some invisible standard. Ethan felt a strange lightness, as if the weight of all his checklists had finally lifted.
