But, according to new research, this actually isn’t the best way to cope with anger. These activities can have the opposite effect. A study published in Clinical Psychology Review shows that mindfulness activities, such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing, are much more effective in reducing anger. Sophie Kjærvik, an expert at Virginia Commonwealth University, led the study at Ohio State University. She was inspired by the rise in popularity of rage rooms, which promote smashing things as a way to cope with anger. “I wanted to disprove the theory of expressing anger as a way of coping with it,” she said. Kjærvik and her team analyzed over 150 studies involving 10,189 participants of different backgrounds. The analysis was guided by the Schachter-Singer two-factor theory, which states that emotions are guided by physiological arousal (激活) and cognitive assessment. Kjærvik wanted to see how arousal levels affect people’s abilities to cope with anger. The team analyzed activities that increased arousal, such as hitting a bag, jogging, cycling, and swimming, versus arousal-decreasing activities. They discovered that mindfulness activities like deep breathing, relaxation, meditation, slow-flow yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, and taking a timeout all decreased anger levels. “I think it’s really important to break the myth that if you’re angry you should blow off steam - get it off your chest,” says Brad Bushman, a professor at Ohio State University. “Venting anger might sound like a good idea, but there’s not a shred of scientific evidence to support catharsis (宣泄) theory. To reduce anger, it is better to engage in activities that decrease arousal levels.” While these findings might contradict popular instincts, the best approach is to use the same strategies we adopt to combat stress. “Progressive muscle relaxation and general relaxation might be as effective as mindfulness and meditation,” Kjærvik says. “The same strategies that work for stress also work for anger.” 4. What was the main purpose of Sophie Kjærvik’s study? A. To promote the Schachter-Singer two-factor theory. B. To compare different physical activities in reducing anger. C. To challenge the idea that expressing anger can manage anger. D. To confirm the function of rage rooms in coping with anger. 5. Which is correct according to the discovery of the study? A. Rage rooms work in releasing anger. B. Reducing arousal helps to alleviate anger. C. Arousal plays the role as an anger extinguisher. D. Deep breathing and meditation can boost arousal. 6. What is Brad Bushman’s attitude towards catharsis theory? A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Skeptical. 7. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Venting Anger: the Broken Myth for Anger Management B. Mindfulness Activities: an Alternative to Reducing Anger C. Arousal Increase: Mindfulness Activities Outperforming Venting D. Managing Emotions: Physical Activities as an Effective Approach 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一项研究结果：正念活动，如瑜伽、冥想和深呼吸，在减少愤怒方面更有效，而不是传统观念中的宣泄愤怒。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A study published in Clinical Psychology Review shows that mindfulness activities, such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing, are much more effective in reducing anger. Sophie Kjærvik, an expert at Virginia Commonwealth University, led the study at Ohio State University. She was inspired by the rise in popularity of rage rooms, which promote smashing things as a way to cope with anger. “I wanted to disprove the theory of expressing anger as a way of coping with it,” she said. (发表在《临床心理学评论》上的一项研究表明，正念活动，如瑜伽、冥想和深呼吸，在减少愤怒方面更有效。弗吉尼亚联邦大学的专家sophie e Kjærvik在俄亥俄州立大学领导了这项研究。她的灵感来自于风靡一时的《愤怒房间》，这款游戏提倡用砸东西的方式来应对愤怒。“我想推翻把表达愤怒作为一种应对方式的理论，”她说。)”可以推论出，Sophie Kjærvik的研究目的是挑战“表达愤怒可以控制愤怒”的观点。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句“To reduce anger, it is better to engage in activities that decrease arousal levels. (为了减少愤怒，最好是参加一些降低兴奋水平的活动。)”可知，减少兴奋有助于缓解愤怒。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““I think it’s really important to break the myth that if you’re angry you should blow off steam — get it off your chest,” says Brad Bushman, a professor at Ohio State University. “Venting anger might sound like a good idea, but there’s not a shred of scientific evidence to support catharsis (宣泄) theory. To reduce anger, it is better to engage in activities that decrease arousal levels.” (俄亥俄州立大学的布拉德·布什曼教授说：“我认为，打破愤怒时应该发泄的神话非常重要。”“发泄愤怒听起来可能是一个好主意，但没有一丝科学证据支持宣泄理论。为了减少愤怒，最好是参加一些降低唤醒水平的活动。”)”可知，布拉德•布什曼教授认为宣泄理论没有科学依据，所以，他对宣泄理论持怀疑的态度。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一项研究结果：正念活动，如瑜伽、冥想和深呼吸，在减少愤怒方面更有效，而不是传统观念中的宣泄愤怒。所以用B项“Mindfulness Activities: an Alternative to Reducing Anger (正念活动：减少愤怒的替代方法)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选B项。 C Experts have long known that reading skills develop before kindergarten, but new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education suggests they may begin as early as infancy (幼儿期). The study, led by Nadine Gaab, found that developmental trajectories (轨迹) between children with and without reading disabilities start to differ around 18 months of age. It stresses the need for early identification, early intervention, and improved early literacy courses in preschools. Gaab explained some children enter kindergarten with a less-developed brain for learning to read, and that these differences appear in toddlerhood. “We’re currently waiting until second or third grade to find kids who are struggling readers,” she said. “We should intervene way earlier because we know the younger a brain is, the more plastic it is for language input.” Gaab and her co-authors worked with 130 participants, starting as early as 3 months old. For over a decade, they used MRI scans to track brain development from infancy to childhood and its relation to literacy skills. Their sample included children from Boston and Canada, combined with data from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset. While other studies track brain development, this is the only longitudinal (纵向的) study that follows brain development from infancy with comprehensive literacy outcomes. “Those other studies had bigger sample sizes, but they were more focused on typical maturation,” said co-author Ted Turesky. “We didn’t see other studies that started in infancy, tracked brain maturation in the same set of kids for as long, and included academic outcome measures.” The findings suggest that children who struggle with reading may begin school already showing brain differences that affect literacy learning. Gaab emphasized that understanding when and how these differences arise could help improve early screening and support. She believes such basic research can inform education policy and help more children succeed in reading from the start. 8. What does the new study find about reading disabilities? A. They emerge after kindergarten. B. They change a person’s character. C. They are tough to identify early. D. They appear much earlier than assumed. 9. What does the underlined word “plastic” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Difficult to damage. B. Easily influenced or changed. C. Capable of remembering things quickly. D. Especially suitable for acquiring new skills. 10. What about the study does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its scientific bases. B. Its technology limitations. C. Its significance. D. Its process. 11. What can be inferred from Turesky’s words? A. Large sample sizes guarantee reliable findings. B. The findings may help shape courses in preschools. C. The longitudinal research method adopted is pioneering. D. Typical maturation should be involved in following studies. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项关于儿童阅读障碍的长期研究发现，阅读发展差异可能在孩子18个月大时就已出现，强调了早期识别和干预的重要性，并指出该研究对教育政策具有重要启示。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Experts have long known that reading skills develop before kindergarten, but new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education suggests they may begin as early as infancy (幼儿期). The study, led by Nadine Gaab, found that developmental trajectories (轨迹) between children with and without reading disabilities start to differ around 18 months of age.(专家们早就知道阅读技能在幼儿园之前就开始发展，但哈佛大学教育研究生院的新研究表明，阅读技能可能早在幼儿期就开始发展。由纳丁・加布领导的这项研究发现，有阅读障碍和没有阅读障碍的儿童的发展轨迹在18个月大左右开始出现差异。)”可知，阅读障碍出现的时间比之前认为的要早得多。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“We should intervene way earlier because we know the younger a brain is, the more plastic it is for language input.(我们应该更早地进行干预，因为我们知道大脑越年轻，对语言输入就越plastic。)”以及上文内容可知，年龄越小，大脑对语言输入的可塑性越强，即更容易受语言输入的影响和改变。所以猜测plastic在此处表示“易受影响或改变的”。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Gaab and her co-authors worked with 130 participants, starting as early as 3 months old. For over a decade, they used MRI scans to track brain development from infancy to childhood and its relation to literacy skills. Their sample included children from Boston and Canada, combined with data from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset.(加布和她的合著者从3个月大的130名参与者开始研究。在十多年的时间里，他们使用核磁共振扫描来追踪从婴儿期到儿童期的大脑发育及其与读写能力的关系。他们的样本包括来自波士顿和加拿大的儿童，并结合了卡尔加里学前核磁共振数据集的数据。)”可知，本段主要讲述了研究的过程，包括研究对象、研究时间、研究方法以及数据来源等。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Those other studies had bigger sample sizes, but they were more focused on typical maturation,” said co-author Ted Turesky. “We didn’t see other studies that started in infancy, tracked brain maturation in the same set of kids for as long, and included academic outcome measures.”(合著者泰德・图雷斯基说：“其他那些研究样本量更大，但它们更关注典型的成熟过程。我们没有看到其他从婴儿期开始，长期追踪同一组孩子大脑成熟过程，并纳入学业成果测量的研究。”)”可知，图雷斯基的话表明该研究采用的纵向研究方法具有开创性。故选C。 D The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below. The primary advantage of the technology is that no trees need to be cleared for solar farms. As an added bonus, the water cools the panels, increasing their efficiency. Research shows that floatovoltaics on just a small share of global lakes and reservoirs could meet nearly a third of the US’s annual electricity demand. As floatovoltaic systems expand, with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better sitting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.” Most floatovoltaics are placed on reservoirs. When paired with the existing water power plants, the panels can generate additional daytime power. This combination can make up for seasonal drops in water or sunlight, ensuring a more stable yearly output. Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits? “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company. Ecological considerations get trickier where there are unforeseen knock- on effects. Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso. Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens. 12. How does the author introduce floatovoltaics? A. By giving a technical definition. B. By explaining how they work. C. By relating them to a married couple. D. By describing a popular movie scene. 13. What is scientists’ major concern about floatovoltaics? A. Their influence on ecosystems and biodiversity. B. Their seasonal changes in power output. C. Their high cost of construction and maintenance. D. Their competition against traditional solar farms. 14. Why does the author quote Chris Bachman in paragraph 5? A. To provide evidence of customer satisfaction. B. To show a potential benefit of floatovoltaics. C. To note the complexity of ecological interactions. D. To draw attention to protecting migrating birds. 15. What are scientists focusing on? A. Conducting the application of wider panels. B. Developing smarter designs and practices. C. Proving the existence of ecological balance. D. Avoiding constructions on waterbird habitats. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种将太阳能面板和水库结合的新兴技术——浮动光伏。但科学家也提醒应关注其对生态系统的潜在影响，以确保可再生能源的发展不会以破坏生物多样性为代价。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below.(当下最炙手可热的“明星夫妻档”并非生活在好莱坞。实际上，它们是太阳能电池板与水库的结合体：这种被称为“浮式光伏”的装置安装在简单的浮体上，既能发电又能为下方的水域遮阳)”可知，作者通过将浮式光伏系统与一对已婚夫妇的情况进行关联介绍浮式光伏系统。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As floatovoltaic systems expand, with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better sitting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.””(随着浮式光伏系统的不断推广，预计从2025年到2030年，该市场的年增长率将达到23%。科学家们正在研究其对生态系统的潜在影响。加州大学戴维斯分校的研究员伊莉莎·斯蒂芬斯警告说：“我们不应以牺牲生物多样性为代价来扩大清洁能源的规模。”“这是一个绝佳的机会，让我们加大研究力度，开发智能设计和更合理的布局方式，以实现健康、多样化的生态系统与可再生能源扩张之间的和谐共生。”)”可知，生态平衡和生物多样性是主要关注点。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits? “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company.(尽管人工建造，但水库中仍生活着大量水生生物，而浮式光伏系统能够与这些生物产生互动。这会带来风险还是带来好处呢？“我们的客户曾看到迁徙的鸟类在浮体上觅食和休息，”一家知名浮式光伏公司的克里斯·巴赫曼说道)”可知，作者在第五段中引用克里斯·巴赫曼的话是为了展示浮式光伏技术的潜在优势。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso.(实验表明，遮阳板提供的遮荫能减缓鱼类所食用的藻类的生长速度，还能减少有害藻类的滋生，从而影响食物链。浮标可以保护鱼类免受捕食鸟类的攻击，但同时也可能成为这些鸟类的安全栖息地。淡水生态学家辛普森·卡多索表示：“我们需要进行长期监测，以了解整体情况。”)”以及最后一段“Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens.(科学家和相关企业正在探讨将太阳能板之间的间距加大，并避免在水鸟的敏感时期（如迁徙和筑巢期）进行施工。斯蒂芬斯表示：“肯定能够实现这种生态平衡。”)”可知，科学家们正在关注开发更智能的设计与方法。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you feeling overwhelmed with too many tasks and not enough time? ____16____ After extensive research and trial of various techniques, I’ve pulled together a series of strategies that will help you take control of your days.

The rocket competition would begin shortly. Every detail mattered, and he was determined not to overlook a single one. The pressure was huge, but Tom was accustomed to being on top. He had never tasted defeat, and he wasn’t about to start now. The other children rarely approached him and when they did, it felt forced. Tom preferred to keep to himself, confident in his ability to win yet again. He assembled(组装)his launch platform with great care, sorting through engines, igniters(点火器), and other tools in his toolbox. Suddenly, his igniter wire slipped from his grasp and disappeared into the grass. In a panic, he found another and carefully fitted it into place. Tom checked his rocket again. It was perfect, but when he glanced at the others’ rockets, he found lots of problems immediately. One rocket, however, had the look of a winner. And Tom’s heart sank. A thin boy carried it carefully. “Hi,” a voice interrupted his focus. It was the thin boy, Ed, offering a nervous smile, “Nice rocket.” Tom whispered thanks, eyes on his tools. He asked Ed where he tested his rockets because he had never seen him at the competitions before. Ed said he just practiced alone behind his house. Although Tom felt a bit nervous, he pretended not to care much about the contest. “Good luck,” said Tom, and he continued to concentrate on his own rocket. As Ed lifted his rocket, Tom felt an increasing anxiety. Just then, he noticed a fin(尾翼)on Ed’s rocket had loosened. But Ed hadn’t noticed it. Tom felt a bit sorry but decided not to say anything. As Ed’s turn approached, Tom’s heart jumped. He had to speak up, despite the risk of losing. “Ed, hold up!” he shouted, drawing the attention of the crowd. 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。 Ed stopped, turned around and looked at Tom confusedly. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tom felt the pain of defeat but also a sense of pride. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】作答示例 Ed stopped, turned around and looked at Tom confusedly. Tom pointed to the loose fin. Ed fixed it just in time, and his rocket shot into the sky perfectly. The crowd cheered, and Tom felt a mix of regret and relief. He had solved a problem, but at the cost of his own victory. As his name was called, he had to walk into the field, win or lose. The numbers were announced, and Tom’s rocket had reached an impressive height, but it wasn’t enough to beat Ed. Then he noticed Ed coming over to him. Tom felt the pain of defeat but also a sense of pride. He had helped Ed, and that counted for something. As he packed up his tools, a hand fell on his shoulder. It was Ed, thanking him. Tom couldn’t help but feel a connection, a shared bond over their common love of rockets. The other children approached, their attitudes softened by the day’s events. They invited Tom to join them at Ed’s house, and he nodded, feeling a shift within him. For the first time, he saw the value in sharing his passion and skills with others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小男孩汤姆在专注而紧张地准备着火箭发射比赛，他没有失败过，这次也不想失败。赛场上其他选手对他都敬而远之。汤姆瞥了一眼别人的作品，都不怎么样，然而，他又发现有一个瘦瘦的男孩手里拿的火箭很好，有获胜的可能。汤姆很紧张，就在这时男孩拿着自己的火箭走过来和汤姆打招呼，介绍自己叫艾德，就在这时，他发现艾德的火箭尾翼松动，艾德没发现，汤姆打算不告诉他。然而就在轮到艾德上场时，汤姆叫住他。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾德停了下来，转过身，困惑地看着汤姆”可知，第一段可描写汤姆指出他的火箭尾翼的问题，之后艾德固定好尾翼，火箭升空，结果超越汤姆获胜及此时汤姆的内心感受 ②由第二段首句内容“汤姆感到失败的痛苦，但也感到自豪。”可知，第二段可描写汤姆接受了失败的事实，但是，并不后悔以及其他人改变了对他的看法，他也体验到了帮助别人的自豪感，大家都成了朋友。 2.续写线索：指出问题——比赛——汤姆输了——艾德感谢——成为朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解决问题：solve a problem / settle a problem /address a problem ②走过来：come over to him /come up to him /approach him ③走进：walk into/step into/enter 情绪类 ①.感谢：thanking/showing his appreciation/showing his gratitude/being grateful ②热爱：love/passion/affection/fondness 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

On the day of the visit B When we’re angry, we often look for ways to blow off steam - a vent (发泄) session with a friend, a long run, or even a few rounds of boxing are common options. But, according to new research, this actually isn’t the best way to cope with anger. These activities can have the opposite effect. A study published in Clinical Psychology Review shows that mindfulness activities, such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing, are much more effective in reducing anger. Sophie Kjærvik, an expert at Virginia Commonwealth University, led the study at Ohio State University. She was inspired by the rise in popularity of rage rooms, which promote smashing things as a way to cope with anger. “I wanted to disprove the theory of expressing anger as a way of coping with it,” she said. Kjærvik and her team analyzed over 150 studies involving 10,189 participants of different backgrounds. The analysis was guided by the Schachter-Singer two-factor theory, which states that emotions are guided by physiological arousal (激活) and cognitive assessment. Kjærvik wanted to see how arousal levels affect people’s abilities to cope with anger. The team analyzed activities that increased arousal, such as hitting a bag, jogging, cycling, and swimming, versus arousal-decreasing activities. They discovered that mindfulness activities like deep breathing, relaxation, meditation, slow-flow yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, and taking a timeout all decreased anger levels. “I think it’s really important to break the myth that if you’re angry you should blow off steam - get it off your chest,” says Brad Bushman, a professor at Ohio State University. “Venting anger might sound like a good idea, but there’s not a shred of scientific evidence to support catharsis (宣泄) theory. To reduce anger, it is better to engage in activities that decrease arousal levels.” While these findings might contradict popular instincts, the best approach is to use the same strategies we adopt to combat stress. “Progressive muscle relaxation and general relaxation might be as effective as mindfulness and meditation,” Kjærvik says. “The same strategies that work for stress also work for anger.” 4. What was the main purpose of Sophie Kjærvik’s study? A. To promote the Schachter-Singer two-factor theory. B. To compare different physical activities in reducing anger. C. To challenge the idea that expressing anger can manage anger. D. To confirm the function of rage rooms in coping with anger. 5. Which is correct according to the discovery of the study? A. Rage rooms work in releasing anger. B. Reducing arousal helps to alleviate anger. C. Arousal plays the role as an anger extinguisher. D. Deep breathing and meditation can boost arousal. 6. What is Brad Bushman’s attitude towards catharsis theory? A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Indifferent. D. Skeptical. 7. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Venting Anger: the Broken Myth for Anger Management B. Mindfulness Activities: an Alternative to Reducing Anger C. Arousal Increase: Mindfulness Activities Outperforming Venting D. Managing Emotions: Physical Activities as an Effective Approach C Experts have long known that reading skills develop before kindergarten but new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education suggests they may begin as early as infancy (幼儿期). The study, led by Nadine Gaab, found that developmental trajectories (轨迹) between children with and without reading disabilities start to differ around 18 months of age. It stresses the need for early identification, early intervention, and improved early literacy courses in preschools. Gaab explained some children enter kindergarten with a less-developed brain for learning to read, and that these differences appear in toddlerhood. “We’re currently waiting until second or third grade to find kids who are struggling readers,” she said. “We should intervene way earlier because we know the younger a brain is, the more plastic it is for language input.” Gaab and her co-authors worked with 130 participants, starting as early as 3 months old. For over a decade, they used MRI scans to track brain development from infancy to childhood and its relation to literacy skills. Their sample included children from Boston and Canada, combined with data from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset. While other studies track brain development, this is the only longitudinal (纵向的) study that follows brain development from infancy with comprehensive literacy outcomes. “Those other studies had bigger sample sizes, but they were more focused on typical maturation,” said co-author Ted Turesky. “We didn’t see other studies that started in infancy, tracked brain maturation in the same set of kids for as long, and included academic outcome measures.” The findings suggest that children who struggle with reading may begin school already showing brain differences that affect literacy learning. Gaab emphasized that understanding when and how these differences arise could help improve early screening and support. She believes such basic research can inform education policy and help more children succeed in reading from the start. 8. What does the new study find about reading disabilities? A. They emerge after kindergarten. B. They change a person’s character. C. They are tough to identify early. D. They appear much earlier than assumed. 9. What does the underlined word “plastic” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Difficult to damage. B. Easily influenced or changed. C. Capable of remembering things quickly. D. Especially suitable for acquiring new skills. 10. What about the study does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its scientific bases. B. Its technology limitations. C. Its significance. D. Its process. 11.

It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below. The primary advantage of the technology is that no trees need to be cleared for solar farms. As an added bonus the water cools the panels, increasing their efficiency. Research shows that floatovoltaics on just a small share of global lakes and reservoirs could meet nearly a third of the US’s annual electricity demand. As floatovoltaic systems expand, with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better sitting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.” Most floatovoltaics are placed on reservoirs. When paired with the existing water power plants, the panels can generate additional daytime power. This combination can make up for seasonal drops in water or sunlight, ensuring a more stable yearly output. Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits? “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company. Ecological considerations get trickier where there are unforeseen knock- on effects. Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso. Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens. 12. How does the author introduce floatovoltaics? A. By giving a technical definition. B. By explaining how they work. C. By relating them to a married couple. D. By describing a popular movie scene. 13. What is scientists’ major concern about floatovoltaics? A. Their influence on ecosystems and biodiversity. B. Their seasonal changes in power output. C. Their high cost of construction and maintenance. D. Their competition against traditional solar farms. 14. Why does the author quote Chris Bachman in paragraph 5? A. To provide evidence of customer satisfaction. B. To show a potential benefit of floatovoltaics. C. To note the complexity of ecological interactions. D. To draw attention to protecting migrating birds. 15. What are scientists focusing on? A Conducting the application of wider panels. B. Developing smarter designs and practices. C. Proving the existence of ecological balance. D. Avoiding constructions on waterbird habitats. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you feeling overwhelmed with too many tasks and not enough time? ____16____ After extensive research and trial of various techniques, I’ve pulled together a series of strategies that will help you take control of your days.

Every detail mattered, and he was determined not to overlook a single one. The pressure was huge, but Tom was accustomed to being on top. He had never tasted defeat, and he wasn’t about to start now. The other children rarely approached him, and when they did, it felt forced. Tom preferred to keep to himself, confident in his ability to win yet again. He assembled(组装)his launch platform with great care, sorting through engines, igniters(点火器), and other tools in his toolbox. Suddenly, his igniter wire slipped from his grasp and disappeared into the grass. In a panic, he found another and carefully fitted it into place. Tom checked his rocket again. It was perfect, but when he glanced at the others’ rockets, he found lots of problems immediately. One rocket, however, had the look of a winner. And Tom’s heart sank. A thin boy carried it carefully. “Hi,” a voice interrupted his focus. It was the thin boy, Ed, offering a nervous smile, “Nice rocket.” Tom whispered thanks, eyes on his tools. He asked Ed where he tested his rockets because he had never seen him at the competitions before. Ed said he just practiced alone behind his house. Although Tom felt a bit nervous, he pretended not to care much about the contest. “Good luck,” said Tom, and he continued to concentrate on his own rocket. As Ed lifted his rocket, Tom felt an increasing anxiety. Just then, he noticed a fin(尾翼)on Ed’s rocket had loosened. But Ed hadn’t noticed it. Tom felt a bit sorry but decided not to say anything. As Ed’s turn approached, Tom’s heart jumped. He had to speak up, despite the risk of losing. “Ed, hold up!” he shouted, drawing the attention of the crowd. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Ed stopped, turned around and looked at Tom confusedly. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tom felt the pain of defeat but also a sense of pride. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
