(新加坡国立大学（NUS）应新加坡国立大学各系主任的邀请，为访问学者、顾问、公务外部考官提供住宿。)”可知，新加坡国立大学（NUS）为新加坡国立大学各系主任邀请的研究人员提供住宿，由此可知，受部门邀请的研究人员有资格入住新加坡国立大学的客房。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Payment”部分关键句“If payment is not received after 5 days, the room reservation will be released and you will need to rebook a room, if required. (如果5天后未收到付款，房间预订将被取消，如果需要，您需要重新预订房间。)”可知，如果未在规定时间内付款，房间预订将被取消，由此可知，逾期付款可能导致取消预订。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“If notice of cancellation is received thirty days before the check-in date, payment that has been received will be fully refunded to the payee. Otherwise, a cancellation fee equal to one full day’s accommodation charge for each room reserved would be levied (征收). (如果在入住日期前三十天收到取消通知，已收到的付款将全额退还给收款人。否则，将对每个预订的房间收取相当于一整天住宿费的取消费。)”可知，延迟取消预定将对每个预订的房间收取相当于一整天住宿费的取消费，由此可知，延迟取消将收取一天房费。故选B项 B It was raining heavily, and Karthik was alone at home. The sound of thunder (雷) was so loud that it felt like the gods were fighting in the sky. This scared him a little, so he took his favorite novel, Harry Potter, from the bookshelf. Again, there was a terrible sound of thunder. He tried to focus on the novel, but the sudden sound of the doorbell interrupted (打断) him. It couldn’t be his parents. He looked at the wall clock—it was only ten minutes past three. Usually, they got home after six in the afternoon. The doorbell sounded again. “Who’s there?” he shouted. There was no reply. The doorbell sounded again. He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door without checking who it is. “Should I answer the bell or not?” thought Karthik. He decided to first prepare himself for an unpleasant encounter (遭遇). He went into a room and came out with a baseball bat (棒球棒), which he hid behind the door in case he needed it. But still, he needed to make sure who was at the door before he opened it. He shouted once again, “Who’s at the door?” There was still no reply. No sound of footsteps, either. He held the baseball bat in one hand and was ready to open the door with the other. Suddenly, there was a loud cry. “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?” “There is no doubt about it; it’s Dad,” Karthik shouted and rushed forward to open the door. “Why are you holding a baseball bat?” asked Karthik’s father. For a moment, the boy seemed at a loss for words. Then his father gave him a big smile, perhaps understanding Karthik’s predicament (窘境). 4. Why did Karthik think it wouldn’t be his parents ringing the doorbell? A They couldn’t be back so early. B. They had keys to the house. C. They were both away on business. D. They would call him ahead of time. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. How Karthik kept himself busy. B. Why Karthik hid a baseball bat. C. When Karthik would open the door. D. What Karthik did to deal with the situation. 6. How did Karthik know it was his father? A. By his height. B. By his voice. C. By his clothes. D. By his footsteps. 7. Which of the following is TRUE about Karthik? A. He didn’t really like reading. B. He didn’t have many friends. C. He was a brave and careful boy. D. He was made fun of by his dad. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章通过叙述Karthik在雷雨天独自在家时，听到门铃声并采取一系列行动最终发现是父亲回家的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He tried to focus on the novel, but the sudden sound of the doorbell interrupted (打断) him. It couldn’t be his parents. He looked at the wall clock—it was only ten minutes past three. Usually, they got home after six in the afternoon.(他试图集中精力看小说，但突然响起的门铃打断了他。不可能是他的父母。他看了看挂钟——现在才三点十分。通常，他们在下午六点后到家)”可知，因为Karthik的父母不可能回来得这么早，所以Karthik认为不是他父母按的门铃。故选A项。 5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““Should I answer the bell or not?” thought Karthik. He decided to first prepare himself for an unpleasant encounter (遭遇). He went into a room and came out with a baseball bat (棒球棒), which he hid behind the door in case he needed it. But still, he needed to make sure who was at the door before he opened it. He shouted once again, “Who’s at the door?” There was still no reply. No sound of footsteps, either. He held the baseball bat in one hand and was ready to open the door with the other. Suddenly, there was a loud cry. “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?”(“我该不该开门？”Karthik想。他决定先为不愉快的遭遇做好准备。他走进一个房间，拿着一根棒球棒出来，把它藏在门后，以备不时之需。但是，他仍然需要在开门之前确定是谁在门口。他又喊了一声：“谁在敲门？”仍然没有回答。也没有脚步声。他一只手拿着棒球棒，准备用另一只手开门。突然，传来一声大叫。“Karthik!Karthik!你为什么不把门打开呢？”)”可知，本段主要讲述Karthik是怎么处理“陌生人”敲门这种情况的。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Suddenly, there was a loud cry. “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?”(突然，传来一声大叫。“Karthik !Karthik !你为什么不把门打开呢？”)”以及第四段““There is no doubt about it; it’s Dad,” Karthik shouted and rushed forward to open the door.(“这是毫无疑问的；是爸爸，”Karthik 喊道，冲上前开门)”可知，Karthik 是通过声音知道是他父亲。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Should I answer the bell or not?” thought Karthik. He decided to first prepare himself for an unpleasant encounter (遭遇). He went into a room and came out with a baseball bat (棒球棒), which he hid behind the door in case he needed it. But still, he needed to make sure who was at the door before he opened it. He shouted once again, “Who’s at the door?” There was still no reply. No sound of footsteps, either. He held the baseball bat in one hand and was ready to open the door with the other. Suddenly, there was a loud cry. “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?”(“我该不该开门？”Karthik想。他决定先为不愉快的遭遇做好准备。他走进一个房间，拿着一根棒球棒出来，把它藏在门后，以备不时之需。但是，他仍然需要在开门之前确定是谁在门口。他又喊了一声：“谁在敲门？”仍然没有回答。也没有脚步声。他一只手拿着棒球棒，准备用另一只手开门。突然，传来一声大叫。“Karthik!Karthik!你为什么不把门打开呢？”)”可知，Karthik经过内心挣扎准备去开门，说明他是勇敢的。并且拿起棒球棒防备未知的危险，也说明他是细心的。故选C项。 C Have you ever been bitten by mosquitoes on a summer evening and wondered why they seem to target humans so persistently? A recent study published in a top scientific journal has uncovered a fascinating discovery: two hormones in female mosquitoes control their urge to bite. Female mosquitoes need blood to help their eggs develop, a process linked to their body cycles. Before searching for a host, their bodies produce more NPF, a hormone that makes them extremely hungry for blood. Think of it like a switch turning on their biting instinct. Once they bite and drink blood. NPF levels drop quickly, and their interest in biting fades. Scientists wanted to test if NPF really controls biting behavior. They used special tools to change the genes of female mosquitoes so they couldn’t produce NPF. The results were surprising: these mosquitoes showed 78% less interest in humans compared to normal mosquitoes. Lead scientist Dr. Li Hua explained, “Without NPF, mosquitoes lose the motivation to bite. It’s like turning off their hunger completely.” Another hormone, RYamide, acts like a brake. After a mosquito bites, RYamide levels rise and make the mosquito feel full. In experiments, when scientists gave RYamide to mosquitoes without eggs, their desire to bite decreased by 65%. However, this effect was weaker in mosquitoes that were carrying eggs. This shows that a mosquito’s egg-laying state also affects how much it wants to bite. Mosquitoes spread serious diseases like dengue and Zika, which make millions of people sick every year. Current methods like pesticides have problems — mosquitoes are becoming resistant to them, and they can harm the environment. This new study offers hope. By targeting these hormones, scientists might develop better ways to stop mosquitoes from spreading diseases. “We could create traps that trick mosquitoes into thinking they’re full,” said Dr. Michael O’Connor, another researcher. As global warming expands mosquito habitats, this research offers timely solutions. Future applications may include gene-edited mosquitoes unable to produce NPF or sprays that mimic RYamide to block biting behavior. Understanding these hormones not only solves a mystery of nature but also brings us closer to protecting public health. Next time you swat a mosquito, remember: science is working to make those bites a thing of the past. 8. What is the primary function of NPF in female mosquitoes? A. It helps eggs develop after feeding. B. It signals the body to start searching for blood. C. It increases hunger after blood consumption. D. It blocks the effects of RYamide. 9. What can be inferred about NPF? A. NPF is essential for mosquito survival. B. NPF makes mosquitoes hungry for blood. C. NPF controls biting behavior. D. NPF levels increase sharply after biting. 10. How might scientists use hormones to stop mosquito-related diseases? A. Increase NPF to cut mosquito feeding. B. Use RYamide traps to kill mosquitoes. C. Edit genes for NPF or RYamide control. D. Block RYamide to make mosquitoes bite more. 11. What is the suitable title for the passage? A. A slow process of NPF experiments. B. A helpful hormone for egg development. C. A practical solution to global warming. D. A scientific finding in mosquito control. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于蚊子的科学研究发现，即雌性蚊子体内的两种激素 NPF 和 RYamide 控制着它们的叮咬行为，并且科学家可以通过针对这些激素来开发更好的方法阻止蚊子传播疾病。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Before searching for a host, their bodies produce more NPF, a hormone that makes them extremely hungry for blood. (在寻找宿主之前，它们的身体会产生更多的NPF，一种使它们极度渴望血液的激素)”可知，NPF在雌蚊中的主要功能是向身体发出开始寻找血液的信号。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists wanted to test if NPF really controls biting behavior. They used special tools to change the genes of female mosquitoes so they couldn’t produce NPF. The results were surprising: these mosquitoes showed 78% less interest in humans compared to normal mosquitoes. Lead scientist Dr. Li Hua explained, “Without NPF, mosquitoes lose the motivation to bite. It’s like turning off their hunger completely.” (科学家们想测试NPF是否真的能控制咬人行为。他们使用特殊工具改变了雌蚊的基因，使它们不能产生NPF。结果令人惊讶：与普通蚊子相比，这些蚊子对人类的兴趣降低了78%。首席科学家李华博士解释说：“没有NPF，蚊子就失去了叮咬的动力。这就像完全消除了他们的饥饿感。”)”可知，NPF控制咬人行为。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“By targeting these hormones, scientists might develop better ways to stop mosquitoes from spreading diseases. “We could create traps that trick mosquitoes into thinking they’re full,” said Dr. Michael O’Connor, another researcher. (通过瞄准这些激素，科学家们可能会开发出更好的方法来阻止蚊子传播疾病。“我们可以制造陷阱，让蚊子误以为自己吃饱了，”另一位研究人员迈克尔·奥康纳博士说)”以及最后一段“Future applications may include gene-edited mosquitoes unable to produce NPF or sprays that mimic RYamide to block biting behavior. (未来的应用可能包括无法产生NPF的基因编辑蚊子或模仿RYamide的喷雾剂来阻止叮咬行为)”可知，科学家可以通过编辑蚊子基因使其不能产生 NPF，或者使用模仿 RYamide 的喷雾剂来阻断蚊子的叮咬行为，即通过控制NPF或 RYamide来阻止蚊子传播疾病。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Have you ever been bitten by mosquitoes on a summer evening and wondered why they seem to target humans so persistently? A recent study published in a top scientific journal has uncovered a fascinating discovery: two hormones in female mosquitoes control their urge to bite. (你有没有在夏天的晚上被蚊子咬过，想知道为什么它们似乎总是以人类为目标？最近发表在顶级科学杂志上的一项研究揭示了一个有趣的发现：雌性蚊子体内有两种激素控制着它们的咬人冲动)”结合文章主要讲述了一项关于蚊子的科学研究发现，即雌性蚊子体内的两种激素NPF和RYamide控制着它们的叮咬行为，并且科学家可以通过针对这些激素来开发更好的方法阻止蚊子传播疾病。可知，D选项“控制蚊子的科学发现”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment—and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things. To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices—we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. So what’s the solution? The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 12. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research? A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product. C. To update consumers on new technology. D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 13. Which of the following uses the least energy? A. The box-set TV. B. The tablet. C. The LCD TV. D. The desktop computer. 14. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices? A Stop using them. B. Take them apart. C. Upgrade them. D. Recycle them. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出纽约罗彻斯特理工学院的Callie Babbitt和她的同事研究证实：旧电子设备要比新设备耗能高，所以作者主张使用新电子设备，既经济又环保。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. (为了弄清楚这些设备消耗了多少电力，纽约罗切斯特理工学院的凯丽·巴比特和她的同事们追踪了每件产品在其整个生命周期中的环境成本——从其矿物被开采到我们停止使用该设备。)”可知，Babbitt’s team研究的目的是弄清楚这些设备用了多少电。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.(他们发现，在平板电脑上观看更多的点播娱乐节目，而不是电视和台式电脑，可以减少44%的能源消耗。)”可知，平板电脑是耗能最少的电子设备，可以降低44%的耗能。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment—and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.( 但一项新的研究表明，即使旧设备过时了，我们也会继续使用它们。这对环境和我们的钱包来说是个坏消息，因为这些过时的设备比做同样事情的新设备消耗更多的能量。)”以及下文对于一项研究的介绍文可知，因为旧的电子设备耗能高，不环保，因此推断作者建议停止使用旧的电子设备。故选A。 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。 Ways to Boost Your Self-Control Contrary to popular belief, self-control does not come along by denying yourself something or being “strict” with yourself. It is about loving yourself and developing new habits. ____15____This is how you get there: Set clear goals so when it comes down to it, you can think first, act later. When you have knowledge that a greater reward is at stake (得失难料), you are going to have an easier time letting go of immediate satisfaction. Prioritize your list according to what you want to achieve in the future. ____16____ Motivate yourself to win and remember that life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you. Anxiety arises from the belief that you are not in control of your life circumstances but are a victim of them. ____17____ That will set the stage for you to regain your power and access your inner motivation to win and achieve. Know your triggers (诱因) and control the stress response. Certain situations, people or even foods will cause your stress response to be triggered. Your job is to pay attention. ____18____It could be sleep deprivation, or it could be a tendency to feel overly criticized by your boss. By knowing your triggers, you can either avoid them or develop ways to deal with them. ____19____ Either enlist friends or family members to join you or ask for their support to remind you of your long-term goals. The key here is that no one is allowed to criticize you or cause you to feel guilt or shame. Instead, they are to remind you to love yourself and help you get back on track when you slip up. A. Get some reliable partners. B. Who and what causes you to feel emotional? C. You should think twice to avoid possible mistakes. D. Change your mindset to being a victor of your life. E. It will help you follow your heart and improve your performance. F. In other words, it is a positive effort, not one of denial or negativity. G. When following this process, you will think twice before acting on a sudden urge. 【答案】15. F 16. G 17. D 18. B 19. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是自我控制并非通过自我压抑或严格自律来实现，并提供了几种具体的方法，包括设定清晰的目标、调整心态、识别压力诱因以及寻求可靠的支持伙伴，以帮助人们更好地管理冲动，实现长期目标。 【15题详解】 前文“Contrary to popular belief, self-control does not come along by denying yourself something or being “strict” with yourself. It is about loving yourself and developing new habits. (与普遍观点相反，自我控制并不是通过自我压抑或对自己“严格”来实现的。它关乎爱自己和培养新习惯。)”说明了哪种情况不是自我控制，自我控制与什么有关。这表明，接下来的一句，即空格处，应写明自我控制的本质，以引出全文的主题。F项“换句话说，这是一种积极的努力，而不是一种否定或消极的行为。”直接点明什么是自我控制，引出文章主题，下文都围绕如何进行自我控制展开，符合语境。故选F项。 【16题详解】 本段第一句“Set clear goals so when it comes down to it, you can think first, act later. (设定清晰的目标，这样当你面临选择时，就能先思考、再行动。)”表明，本段写根据目标先思考、后行动有助于进行自我控制，G项“遵循这一过程，你会在冲动之前三思而后行。”中所说的“这一过程”即为前文提到的“设定清晰的目标，先思考、再行动”。同时空处位于本段最后，G项正是对本段的总结，遵循这一过程，可以避免冲动。故选G项。 【17题详解】 前文“Anxiety arises from the belief that you are not in control of your life circumstances but are a victim of them. (焦虑源于你认为自己无法掌控生活中的境遇，而是成为它们的受害者。)”指出焦虑的根源，后文“That will set the stage for you to regain your power and access your inner motivation to win and achieve. (这种认知会为你重获力量并激发你内心追求胜利和成就的动力奠定基础。)”指出按本空处所说的内容做会带来什么好处，这表明本空处应是一句告诉人们如何摆脱受害者心态的具体做法。D项“改变你的思维模式，成为自己生活的胜利者。”能够衔接前后文，且其中的victor一词与前文中的victim一词形成呼应。故选D项。 【18题详解】 前文“Your job is to pay attention. (你要做的就是引起注意。)”及后文“It could be sleep deprivation, or it could be a tendency to feel overly criticized by your boss. (它可能是睡眠不足，或你觉得被老板过度批评。)”说明，空处需要一句话既能表明需要引起注意的具体内容是什么，也就是使人们不能很好地进行自我控制的因素是什么，又能概括“睡眠不足”、“觉得被老板过度批评”这两个例子的共同特点。B项“是谁、或是什么让你感觉情绪化？”满足这一要求，能承上启下。故选B项。 【19题详解】 后文“Either enlist friends or family members to join you or ask for their support to remind you of your long-term goals. (你可以邀请朋友或家人加入你，或者请求他们的支持，让他们提醒你长期目标。)”提到周围的人这个因素在自我控制中的重要作用。A项“找一些可靠的伙伴。”直接点明人这个因素，起到引领全段的作用。故选A项。 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 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Bethany Gaskin sits in front of the screen with a wide smile on her face.

Then, gazing down at the smiling face of Zoey the Zebra, Michelle scolded, “You’re a big help. How can you be so happy at a time like this?” Looking at the animals, she sighed, “I wish you could all come with me.” She gave them one last glance and went to join her parents in the car. On the way to school, Michelle kept quiet. “Is my favorite first-grader getting nervous?” her dad asked, smiling. Michelle didn’t answer. She was trying to picture what it would be like to play in front of all those audience. “You’ll do fine,” said Mom. “The first time is always the hardest.” When they arrived at the auditorium (观众席), Michelle headed backstage. She handed her violin to her teacher for tuning. Looking out, she saw all the seats were filled. Now nervously she took her violin from Mrs. Allen and sat with the other students onstage. She gulped (大口吸气) as her teacher picked up the microphone to begin the program. One by one the students played their pieces. Finally, Michelle heard Mrs. Allen announce, “Our last student tonight will be Michelle Merrick, who will play Bach’s Minuet in G Major.” 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: Michelle’s heart pounded as she walked toward the front of the stage. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: More relaxed now, she remembered her piece. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Michelle’s heart pounded as she walked toward the front of the stage. She put her violin under her chin and started playing. But she couldn’t remember even her first note. Her eyes were filled with tears. She wiped the tears away.

This scared him a little, so he took his favorite novel, Harry Potter, from the bookshelf. Again, there was a terrible sound of thunder. He tried to focus on the novel, but the sudden sound of the doorbell interrupted (打断) him. It couldn’t be his parents. He looked at the wall clock—it was only ten minutes past three. Usually, they got home after six in the afternoon. The doorbell sounded again. “Who’s there?” he shouted. There was no reply. The doorbell sounded again. He remembered his parents telling him not to open the door without checking who it is. “Should I answer the bell or not?” thought Karthik. He decided to first prepare himself for an unpleasant encounter (遭遇). He went into a room and came out with a baseball bat (棒球棒), which he hid behind the door in case he needed it. But still, he needed to make sure who was at the door before he opened it. He shouted once again, “Who’s at the door?” There was still no reply. No sound of footsteps, either. He held the baseball bat in one hand and was ready to open the door with the other. Suddenly, there was a loud cry. “Karthik! Karthik! Why don’t you open the door?” “There is no doubt about it; it’s Dad,” Karthik shouted and rushed forward to open the door. “Why are you holding a baseball bat?” asked Karthik’s father. For a moment, the boy seemed at a loss for words. Then his father gave him a big smile, perhaps understanding Karthik’s predicament (窘境). 4.

He was made fun of by his dad. C Have you ever been bitten by mosquitoes on a summer evening and wondered why they seem to target humans so persistently? A recent study published in a top scientific journal has uncovered a fascinating discovery: two hormones in female mosquitoes control their urge to bite. Female mosquitoes need blood to help their eggs develop, a process linked to their body cycles. Before searching for a host, their bodies produce more NPF, a hormone that makes them extremely hungry for blood. Think of it like a switch turning on their biting instinct. Once they bite and drink blood. NPF levels drop quickly, and their interest in biting fades. Scientists wanted to test if NPF really controls biting behavior. They used special tools to change the genes of female mosquitoes so they couldn’t produce NPF. The results were surprising: these mosquitoes showed 78% less interest in humans compared to normal mosquitoes. Lead scientist Dr. Li Hua explained, “Without NPF, mosquitoes lose the motivation to bite. It’s like turning off their hunger completely.” Another hormone, RYamide, acts like a brake. After a mosquito bites, RYamide levels rise and make the mosquito feel full. In experiments, when scientists gave RYamide to mosquitoes without eggs, their desire to bite decreased by 65%. However, this effect was weaker in mosquitoes that were carrying eggs. This shows that a mosquito’s egg-laying state also affects how much it wants to bite. Mosquitoes spread serious diseases like dengue and Zika, which make millions of people sick every year. Current methods like pesticides have problems — mosquitoes are becoming resistant to them, and they can harm the environment. This new study offers hope. By targeting these hormones, scientists might develop better ways to stop mosquitoes from spreading diseases. “We could create traps that trick mosquitoes into thinking they’re full,” said Dr. Michael O’Connor, another researcher. As global warming expands mosquito habitats, this research offers timely solutions. Future applications may include gene-edited mosquitoes unable to produce NPF or sprays that mimic RYamide to block biting behavior. Understanding these hormones not only solves a mystery of nature but also brings us closer to protecting public health. Next time you swat a mosquito, remember: science is working to make those bites a thing of the past. 8 What is the primary function of NPF in female mosquitoes? A. It helps eggs develop after feeding. B. It signals the body to start searching for blood. C. It increases hunger after blood consumption. D. It blocks the effects of RYamide. 9. What can be inferred about NPF? A. NPF is essential for mosquito survival. B. NPF makes mosquitoes hungry for blood. C. NPF controls biting behavior. D. NPF levels increase sharply after biting. 10. How might scientists use hormones to stop mosquito-related diseases? A. Increase NPF to cut mosquito feeding. B. Use RYamide traps to kill mosquitoes. C. Edit genes for NPF or RYamide control. D. Block RYamide to make mosquitoes bite more. 11. What is the suitable title for the passage? A. A slow process of NPF experiments. B. A helpful hormone for egg development. C. A practical solution to global warming. D. A scientific finding in mosquito control. D We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment—and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things. To figure out how much power these devices are using Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007. As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these old devices—we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window. So what’s the solution? The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 12. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research? A. To reduce the cost of minerals. B. To test the life cycle of a product. C. To update consumers on new technology. D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 13.

Then, gazing down at the smiling face of Zoey the Zebra, Michelle scolded, “You’re a big help. How can you be so happy at a time like this?” Looking at the animals, she sighed, “I wish you could all come with me.” She gave them one last glance and went to join her parents in the car. On the way to school, Michelle kept quiet. “Is my favorite first-grader getting nervous?” her dad asked, smiling. Michelle didn’t answer. She was trying to picture what it would be like to play in front of all those audience. “You’ll do fine,” said Mom. “The first time is always the hardest.” When they arrived at the auditorium (观众席), Michelle headed backstage. She handed her violin to her teacher for tuning. Looking out, she saw all the seats were filled. Now nervously she took her violin from Mrs. Allen and sat with the other students onstage.
