In the African savanna, meerkats (狐獴) live in groups called “mobs”. These small animals have amazing survival skills.
Every morning, one meerkat acts as a “sentinel” (哨兵). It stands on its hind legs and looks out for predators like eagles or jackals. If danger is spotted, the sentinel makes a sharp call, and the entire mob rushes to safety—either hiding in their underground burrows or scattering into the grass.
Meerkats also share food. When a meerkat finds a tasty insect, it might call others to share. This behavior helps the group stay strong, as no individual is left hungry.
Scientists have studied meerkats for years and found that their group cooperation is key to their survival. Even young meerkats learn to take turns being sentinels once they are old enough, ensuring the group is always protected.

Have you ever wondered how your phone’s touch screen works? The technology behind it is called “capacitive sensing”, and it was developed based on a simple scientific principle.
In the 1970s, scientists discovered that human skin conducts electricity slightly. A capacitive touch screen has a layer of material that stores electrical charge. When your finger touches the screen, it changes the charge’s distribution. The screen’s sensors detect this change and send a signal to the phone’s processor, which then figures out where you touched.
This technology isn’t just for phones. It’s also used in ATMs, car dashboards, and even some kitchen appliances like smart ovens. “Capacitive sensing makes interactions more intuitive—you don’t need a stylus (触控笔), just your finger,” explains Dr. Chen, a tech engineer.
However, capacitive screens have a drawback: they don’t work well with gloves or when the screen is wet. That’s why some devices now use “infrared sensing” as a backup, which detects finger movements with light beams.
26. What is capacitive sensing based on?
A. The fact that human skin conducts electricity.
B. The use of styluses.
C. Infrared light beams.
D. Wet screen conditions.
27. How does a capacitive touch screen know where you touched?
A. It uses a stylus to mark the spot.
B. It detects changes in electrical charge.
C. It sends light beams to your finger.
D. It waits for the phone’s processor to guess.
28. Which of the following uses capacitive sensing?
A. A traditional keyboard.
B. A glove for cold weather.
C. An ATM machine.
D. A light bulb.
29. What is a drawback of capacitive screens?
A. They work only with styluses.
B. They can’t detect finger movements.
C. They don’t work well with gloves or wet screens.
D. They are too expensive for everyday use.
30. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the history of phone development
B. how capacitive touch screen technology works and its applications
C. why infrared sensing is better than capacitive sensing
D. Dr. Chen’s research on touch screens
【答案】26. A 27. B 28. C 29. C 30. B
【解析】

阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各小题。
A recent study shows that students’ mental health (心理健康) is becoming a growing concern. Over 60% of students say they feel stressed about their studies and relationships. To help students, many schools have started offering “emotional support (情感支持) classes”. In these classes, students learn how to deal with negative emotions (负面情绪) and build a positive mindset (心态). Ms. Zhang, a psychology teacher at Sunshine School, gives students advice on handling stress and sadness.
If you feel stressed about exams
Take deep breaths and tell yourself, “I’ve prepared well. I can do my best.” Break your study plan into small parts and finish them one by one. Reward (奖励) yourself after each part, like eating a favorite snack or taking a short break.
If you argue with a friend
Don’t stay angry for long. Wait until you calm down, then talk to your friend. Explain how you feel and listen to their side too. Remember, friendships need understanding.
If you feel sad for no reason
Do something you love like drawing, singing, or playing a sport. Spend time with your family or pets. Nature can also help—take a walk in the park and enjoy the sunshine.
If you are afraid of making a speech
Practice in front of a mirror or your family. Imagine the audience (听众) as friendly faces. Start with small groups like speaking in front of your classmates, then gradually (逐渐地) try larger crowds.
Always remember: it’s okay to feel down sometimes, but you don’t have to face it alone.

Explain how you feel and listen to their side too.
【53题详解】
to help students意为“为了帮助学生们”, 不定式作目的状语;many schools意为“许多学校”,作主语;have started意为“已经开始”,作谓语;offering emotional support classes意为“开设情感支持课程”,作宾语。故填:为了帮助学生,许多学校已经开始开设“情感支持课程”。

Schools around the world are holding “Green Week” activities to raise students’ environmental awareness. Last month, students at Sunny Middle School joined in such an event.
Lily, a seventh-grader, helped organize a “Reduce Plastic” campaign. “We made posters to tell classmates to use reusable bags instead of plastic ones,” she said. “During lunchtime, we checked how many students still used plastic forks—only 12 out of 200, which was a big improvement!”
Tom, from Grade 8, led a “Plant a Tree” activity. “We worked with the local park staff to plant 50 saplings near the school. It was tiring but meaningful. Now, when we walk by those trees, we feel proud of what we did,” Tom explained.
The headmaster, Mr. Smith, praised the students, “Green Week isn’t just about one week of activities. It’s about teaching everyone to care for the earth every day.”

In the African savanna, meerkats (狐獴) live in groups called “mobs”. These small animals have amazing survival skills.
Every morning, one meerkat acts as a “sentinel” (哨兵). It stands on its hind legs and looks out for predators like eagles or jackals. If danger is spotted, the sentinel makes a sharp call, and the entire mob rushes to safety—either hiding in their underground burrows or scattering into the grass.
Meerkats also share food. When a meerkat finds a tasty insect, it might call others to share. This behavior helps the group stay strong, as no individual is left hungry.
Scientists have studied meerkats for years and found that their group cooperation is key to their survival. Even young meerkats learn to take turns being sentinels once they are old enough, ensuring the group is always protected.
16. What is a “mob” in the passage?
A. A type of predator.
B. A group of meerkats.

C. Watches for danger.
D. Teaches young meerkats.
18. Why do meerkats share food?
A. To keep the group strong.
B. To please the sentinel.
C. To avoid being hunted.
D. To save insects for later.
19. When do young meerkats start being sentinels?
A. When they are born.
B When they can find food.
C. When they are old enough.
D. When predators appear.
20. The passage mainly tells us about ________.
A. how meerkats hunt insects
B. meerkats’ group cooperation and survival skills

Old Town was once a quiet neighborhood in Central City. For decades, it was home to small shops, family-owned cafes, and old brick houses. Mrs. Henderson, who has lived there for 60 years, remembers: “We knew everyone on the street. On weekends, families would gather in the park for picnics.”
But in the past five years, Old Town has changed. Tall apartment buildings replaced some old houses, and big chain stores moved in. While the neighborhood is now more “modern”, many residents feel something is lost.
“Our old bakery was replaced by a fast-food joint,” says Mr. Lee, a long-time resident. “Now kids don’t know the joy of getting fresh bread from Mrs. Miller, who used to give us extra cookies.”
However, some efforts are being made to preserve Old Town’s spirit. A group of residents started a “Memory Project”, collecting photos and stories from old-timers. They also opened a small museum in the park, showing items like old shop signs and neighborhood yearbooks.

Have you ever wondered how your phone’s touch screen works? The technology behind it is called “capacitive sensing”, and it was developed based on a simple scientific principle.
In the 1970s, scientists discovered that human skin conducts electricity slightly. A capacitive touch screen has a layer of material that stores electrical charge. When your finger touches the screen, it changes the charge’s distribution. The screen’s sensors detect this change and send a signal to the phone’s processor, which then figures out where you touched.
This technology isn’t just for phones. It’s also used in ATMs, car dashboards, and even some kitchen appliances like smart ovens. “Capacitive sensing makes interactions more intuitive—you don’t need a stylus (触控笔), just your finger,” explains Dr. Chen, a tech engineer.
However, capacitive screens have a drawback: they don’t work well with gloves or when the screen is wet. That’s why some devices now use “infrared sensing” as a backup, which detects finger movements with light beams.
26. What is capacitive sensing based on?
A. The fact that human skin conducts electricity.
B. The use of styluses.
C. Infrared light beams.
D. Wet screen conditions.
27. How does a capacitive touch screen know where you touched?
A. It uses a stylus to mark the spot.
B. It detects changes in electrical charge.
C. It sends light beams to your finger.
D. It waits for the phone’s processor to guess.
28. Which of the following uses capacitive sensing?
A. A traditional keyboard.
B. A glove for cold weather.
C. An ATM machine.
D. A light bulb.
29. What is a drawback of capacitive screens?
A. They work only with styluses.
B. They can’t detect finger movements.
C. They don’t work well with gloves or wet screens.
D. They are too expensive for everyday use.
30. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the history of phone development
B how capacitive touch screen technology works and its applications
C. why infrared sensing is better than capacitive sensing
D. Dr. Chen’s research on touch screens
