高二(20)班英语
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Climate change could have large impacts on food production across the world. Rising temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures.
Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways:
Farmers can change WHAT they plant.
This could be an entirely different type of crop: corn instead of wheat. Or a different variety of a specific crop.
FOUR
KEY
WAYS
Farmers can change WHERE crops are planted. If temperatures rise in fall, crop production can shift north or southwards towards more suitable temperatures.
Farmers can change HOW crops are managed. Giving crops the right amount of water, nutrition, and protection from insects and disease can help reduce some impacts of climate change.
Farmers can change WHEN they plant. Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year, depending on when spring arrives. Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work.
A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat.
These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level! If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future
1. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour?
A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. WHEN. D. HOW.
2. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties?
A. Corn. B. Rice. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat.
3. What should be done in the future?
A. To help the farmers in need. B. To adopt the three methods.
C. To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化对全球粮食生产的影响,提出农民应对气候变暖的四种关键调整方式,并通过研究说明部分适应方法的效果,最后指出未来需关注粮食不安全地区农民的适应问题。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Farmers can change WHEN they plant”部分“Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work.(调整种植日期不需要额外的成本或工作量)”可知,若农民缺乏资金和劳动力,应选择改变种植时间(WHEN)。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures.(小麦和水稻——得益于大气中二氧化碳含量的增加——产量可能会有所提升,而玉米和高粱则会因气温升高导致产量下降)”和灰色柱状图中的最高数值是Rice的15%可知,在仅改变作物品种的情况下,稻米(Rice)的产量增幅是最大的。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future (如果特定地区的农民——尤其是那些粮食最不安全的地区——无法适应气候变化,这仍然是一个重大问题。因此,未来我们还有更多可以做的事情)”可推知,未来需要帮助有需要的农民(尤其是粮食不安全地区的农民)适应气候变化。故选A。
B
Each morning, the soft sound of slicing fills the air at a processing workshop in Zhangshu, Jiangxi province. Yuan Xiaoping, 69, stands by his workbench, skillfully slicing white peony root into pieces. The technique may seem effortless, but it is the result of more than 50 years of disciplined practice.
Yuan is a nationally recognized inheritor (继承人) of the Zhangshu traditional Chinese medicine processing technique, a form of craftsmanship named as national intangible cultural heritage in 2018. For over 1,800 years, Zhangshu, China’s medicine capital, has perfected the art of traditional herb processing, transforming raw plants into precise medicine. This craft relies on four signature tools: sharp knives for paper-thin slicing, copper pots for controlled heating, mineral-rich local water, and secret methods passed from master to apprentice.
Born into a family with a tradition in Chinese medicine, Yuan began working as an apprentice at the old Tiangitang pharmacy at the age of 16. He later studied under master craftsman Yu Shouxiang, who was renowned for his expertise in medicinal (药用的) cutting. Yuan devoted decades to mastering core skills of the craft, including some specialized methods. For him, the heart of the craft lies in two skills: cutting and processing.
“Every step demands precision, but it’s the knife work that truly stands out: each slice cut to perfect thickness, almost like art. “Yuan said. “Processing is not just about preparing herbs. It demands reverence for the natural properties of medicinal herbs and the application of precise methods to unlock their medical value.”
Despite modern production technologies, Yuan believes many essential steps remain dependent on experience. “Machines can cut, but they can’t read the color, smell or texture of herbs,” Yuan said. “Some techniques are simple in appearance, but they require years of repetition to do well.”
4. What can be learned about the technique?
A. It features simplicity B. It is dismissed as impractical.
C. It remains unchanged. D. It requires effort and accuracy.
5. What does the underlined word “reverence” (Para. 4) mean?
A. Awe. B. Love. C. Talent. D. Blame.
6. Which of the following can best describe Yuan?
A. Disciplined and energetic. B. Committed and highly-skilled.
C. Hardworking and friendly. D. Forward-thinking and devoted.
7. What does Yuan’s story mainly show?
A. Look before you leap. B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Strike while the iron is hot.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了国家级非物质文化遗产樟树中药炮制技艺传承人袁小平的工作日常、学艺经历及对技艺的理解,并介绍了樟树中药炮制技艺的特点与价值。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The technique may seem effortless, but it is the result of more than 50 years of disciplined practice.(这套动作看似轻松自如,却是他50多年刻苦练习的成果。)”和第四段““Every step demands precision, but it’s the knife work that truly stands out: each slice cut to perfect thickness, almost like art. “Yuan said. (“每一步都讲究精准,但切片手艺最见真章——每一片都要切到厚度完美,几乎像艺术品一样。”袁小平说)”可知,樟树中药炮制技艺需要从业者付出长期刻苦的努力,且每一步都要求精准。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Processing is not just about preparing herbs. It demands reverence for the natural properties of medicinal herbs and the application of precise methods to unlock their medical value.(炮制不只是简单处理药材。它需要……药材的天然特性,还要用精准的方法激发其药用价值。)”可知,炮制药材不仅是处理药材,还需要对药材的天然特性持有某种态度,才能通过精准方法激发其药用价值。结合语境,这种态度应是尊重、敬畏之情。选项A“Awe”意为“敬畏”,与此相符。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The technique may seem effortless, but it is the result of more than 50 years of disciplined practice.(这套动作看似轻松自如,却是他50多年刻苦练习的成果。)”以及第三段“Yuan devoted decades to mastering core skills of the craft, including some specialized methods. For him, the heart of the craft lies in two skills: cutting and processing.(数十年来,袁小平潜心钻研这项技艺的核心技法,其中还包括一些特殊炮制方法。在他看来,这项技艺的核心在于两大工序:切片与炮制。)”可知,袁小平50多年刻苦练习技艺、数十年钻研核心技法,体现他对中药炮制技艺的专注投入;而他能娴熟切片、掌握独门技法,则体现了他技艺精湛。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The technique may seem effortless, but it is the result of more than 50 years of disciplined practice.(这套动作看似轻松自如,却是他50多年刻苦练习的成果。)”和第五段袁小平所说的话““Some techniques are simple in appearance, but they require years of repetition to do well. (有些技法看起来简单,却需要多年反复练习才能做好。)”可知,袁小平的技艺并非天生,而是靠50多年刻苦练习、多年反复打磨才达成,体现长期练习造就精湛技艺。故选C。
C
Children are born with the curiosity to explore. Yet over time they are becoming less curious about science. Why? This loss of interest may be partly the result of language cues (提示) children hear. And these cues don’t come just from parents; they can also come from school teachers who treat science as an identity rather than actions.
When talking to children, many adults might say things like “Let’s be scientists today!” or “You’re such a good scientist!”. But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.”
One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.” This stereotypical (刻板印象的) belief that science is reserved for only certain-kinds of people emerges surprisingly early. By the first grade, when asked to draw a scientist, children tend to draw a white man.
The good news is that language cues can also be directed to promote engagement with science. Describing science as actions that we take, for example, seems to protect young children’s interest in science over time. But it’s also true that teenagers are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So in contrast to its demoralizing effects on young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. In another study, cueing a future identity based on science (such as “scientist” or “doctor”) motivated middle schoolers to do more homework and was associated with higher grades.
Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science.
8. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Inappropriate. B. Impolite. C. Unconvincing. D. Discouraging.
9. Why was action-focused language especially effective to young girls?
A. Because it avoids identity conflict in girls’ mind.
B. Because stereotypical belief is reserved for girls.
C. Because it enhances girls’ engagement in science.
D. Because it shows the activity is designed for girls.
10. What may be the author’s suggestion for parents and teachers?
A. To treat language as cues. B. To use identity-focused language.
C. To adopt flexible strategies. D. To help teenagers form identities.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Is Action Better than Identity? B. How Do Parents Raise Young Scientists?
C. How Does Age Affect Science Learning? D. What Affects Children’s Interest in Science?
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍儿童对科学的好奇心下降的原因,以及不同语言提示对不同年龄段儿童科学兴趣的影响,并给出相应建议。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.”(但这种以身份为核心的语言,将科学视为一种身份,而非人们所做的活动和行动,可能会对幼儿造成demoralizing影响。一项研究表明,4岁的孩子,尤其是女孩,当参与科学活动的提示是“让我们做科学”而不是“让我们成为科学家”时,能保持更长时间的兴趣。)”可知,以身份为核心的语言会让幼儿难以保持兴趣,因此“demoralizing”意为“令人气馁的”。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.”(一种可能性是,当想到科学家时,孩子们可能会想到一个白人男性。如果他们没有这种身份认同,就会对为“科学家”设计的活动失去兴趣。)”以及第二段中行动导向语言让幼儿(尤其女孩)保持兴趣的研究结果可知,行动导向语言对女孩特别有效,是因为它避免了女孩心中的身份冲突。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science.(因此,成年人最好对不同年龄段的孩子使用不同的语言提示,以保持他们对科学的好奇心。)”可知,作者建议家长和老师采用灵活的策略,针对不同年龄段儿童使用不同语言提示。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段提出儿童对科学好奇心下降的问题及部分原因(语言提示),第二段对比不同语言提示对幼儿的影响,第三段解释身份导向语言产生负面影响的原因,第四段说明语言提示对青少年的积极影响,最后给出针对不同年龄段儿童使用不同语言提示的建议,由此可知,全文围绕“什么影响儿童对科学的兴趣”展开,因此D项“什么影响儿童对科学的兴趣?”适合作为标题。故选D项。
D
Give a group of scientists the same data and the same research question, and they should come up with similar answers in theory. But they don’t, according to a paper published in BMC Biology, which finds that 246 ecologists analyzing the same data sets reached widely varying conclusions, with some finding effects in totally opposite directions.
The paper is the latest in a line of “many-analyst” projects that examine how results can vary because of scientists’ decisions during data analysis — and the first to study the effects in ecology. To find out how much those decisions affect the results, Elliot Gould, a Ph.D. student at the University of Melbourne, and their colleagues recruited 246 ecologists, working in 174 teams, to answer two different research questions, each based on a single data set.
The findings match up with the results of previous many-analyst studies, and show “the powerful role of subjective researcher choices in scientific projects,” says Eric Uhlmann, an organizational psychologist. Gould says: Researchers have to decide which variables to control for, for example, and how to deal with missing data. “And those different choices that we make can kind of multiply.”
It’s impossible to know whether the problem affects an entire field from just one or two examples says Eötvös Loránd University metascientist Balazs Aczel. To find out, he is running a project to have multiple analysts each tackle a question from 100 randomly chosen social science papers. But similar findings have popped up in a range of fields — including neuroscience and economics — and suggest “we are facing a very serious issue,” he says.
Anne Scheel, a metascientist at Utrecht University, says the many-analyst findings don’t mean fields like ecology and psychology can’t ensure reliable results. Such fields tend to ask broad questions that leave a lot of choices up to researchers. “The harder sciences seem to have more success coming to agreement on difficult questions,” she says. “I think that has something to do with how precisely things are defined.”
12. What did the BMC Biology paper focus on?
A. The collection of data in ecology. B. The cause of contradictory results.
C. The effect of choices on conclusions. D. The comparison of different methods.
13. What contributes to the varying conclusions according to paragraph 3?
A. Research preference. B. Uniform data. C. Team division. D. Training gaps.
14. What has led Balazs Aczel to say “we are facing a very serious issue”?
A. The uncertainty of ecological studies. B. The challenge in choosing questions.
C. The restriction in research approaches. D. The evidence from multiple disciplines.
15. What is Anne Scheel’s suggestion on ensuring reliable results?
A. Broadening scale. B. Deepening research. C. Increasing difficulty. D. Improving precision
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍《BMC生物学》论文发现科学家分析相同数据却得出不同结论及学者对此的观点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The paper is the latest in a line of “many-analyst” projects that examine how results can vary because of scientists’ decisions during data analysis — and the first to study the effects in ecology..(这篇论文是一系列“多分析师”项目中的最新一篇,这些项目研究科学家在数据分析过程中的决策如何导致结果不同——也是首个在生态学领域研究这种影响的项目)”可知,该论文聚焦“科学家的选择对结论产生的影响”。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The findings match up with the results of previous many-analyst studies, and show “the powerful role of subjective researcher choices in scientific projects,” says Eric Uhlmann, an organizational psychologist. Gould says: Researchers have to decide which variables to control for, for example, and how to deal with missing data. “And those different choices that we make can kind of multiply.”(组织心理学家埃里克·乌尔曼表示,这些发现与之前的多分析师研究结果一致,表明“研究者的主观选择在科学项目中具有重要作用”。古尔德说:例如,研究者必须决定控制哪些变量,以及如何处理缺失的数据。“而我们做出的这些不同选择,其影响可能会不断放大。”)”可知,研究者的主观选择偏好导致结论不同。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But similar findings have popped up in a range of fields — including neuroscience and economics — and suggest “we are facing a very serious issue,” he says.(但他表示,类似的发现在一系列领域——包括神经科学和经济学——都出现了,这表明“我们正面临一个非常严重的问题”)”可知,多学科出现类似现象的证据,让巴拉兹·阿采尔认为问题严重。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的““The harder sciences seem to have more success coming to agreement on difficult questions,” she says. “I think that has something to do with how precisely things are defined.”(“硬科学在难题上达成共识的成功率似乎更高,”她说。“我认为这与事物定义的精确程度有关。”)”可知,安妮·谢尔认为“精确性”有助于达成共识,因此建议通过提高精确性确保结果可靠。故选D项。
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 as good at things as you think you are? How good are you at managing money? Are you better than average at grammar? Psychological research suggests that we’re not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately. ____16____. This phenomenon is called the Dunning-Kruger effect.
____17____. On average, people tend to rate themselves better than most in health, leadership skills, and beyond. What’s particularly interesting is that those with the least ability often overrate their skills to the greatest extent.
When psychologists Dunning and Kruger first described the effect in 1999, they argued that people lacking knowledge and skill in particular areas suffer a double curse (祸根). They make mistakes and reach poor decisions.____18____ In other words, poor performers lack the knowledge needed to recognize how badly they’re doing.
The effect shows people usually do admit their weaknesses once they can spot them. This may be why people with average knowledge or skill often have less confidence in their abilities.____19____
Meanwhile, experts tend to be aware of just how knowledgeable they are. But they often make a different mistake: they assume that everyone else is knowledgeable, too.____20____ When they’re unskilled, they can’t see their own faults. When they’re extremely competent, they don’t perceive how unusual their abilities are.
So what can we do? First, ask for feedback from others. Second, keep learning. The more knowledgeable we become, the less likely we are to have invisible holes in our competence.
A. Actually, we often overestimate our own abilities.
B. They all have incompetence they don’t recognize.
C. In short, people are often caught in inaccurate self-perception.
D. They know enough to know that there’s a lot they don’t know.
E. This effect explains why people display imaginary superiority.
F. Knowing how competent we are is more than a self-confidence boost.
G. But those knowledge gaps also prevent them from catching their errors.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. C

A Lunchbox Stitched with Love
Michael had watched it all unfold. For twelve long months, the silence between his father Jack and uncle Sam hung heavier than the winter fog clinging to their small town. It started with their late (已故的) father’s old workbench (工作台) — hand-carved by their grandfather, a piece they’d both cherished. When their dad passed away, Uncle Sam took it to restore, but his father Jack thought he’d taken it for himself forever. “You always got first pick,” Jack snapped; Sam shot back, “At least I’m not letting it rot.” Doors slammed, and they’d not spoken since.
Jack, once a man who laughed so loud that the neighbors knocked to complain, now moved like a ghost: mornings without the clatter (哐啷声) of his favorite coffee mug, evenings staring at the unlit fireplace in dead silence.
One afternoon, Michael found his dad on the porch (门廊), staring at a photo — Jack and Sam, arms slung over each other’s shoulders at the workbench, both grinning wide. “Why don’t you call him?” Michael asked. Jack’s jaw tightened. “Some things can’t be fixed, kiddo.” But Michael shook his head. He’d watched his mom mend his favorite sweater with a needle and thread, turning a hole into something stitched with care. Michael also noticed that Aunt Clara, Uncle Sam’s wife, still called Mom, asking gently how his dad was doing. Maybe broken things just needed the right hands to fix them.
That night, Michael slid a list of Uncle Sam’s favorite foods into his pocket — the ones Dad had always bought at the market on weekends, the two of them laughing over plates together. By morning, Michael had come up with a plan: something sweet might fix. With his allowance, he set out to fill his dad’s old lunchbox with what was on the list. Michael hit the market: Mrs. Hernandez’s warm meat pies; Mr. Patel’s spicy mango sauce and buttery cookies. Although his shirt was stained with jam, and his shoes were coated in dirt, Michael smiled, seeing the lunchbox was full.

【答案】A Possible Version:
When Michael finally stood on Uncle Sam’s porch, his heart pounded like a drum. A surge of shyness and nervousness engulfing him, his ears burned as he paced for a moment before ringing the doorbell. The door creaked open. Uncle Sam froze at the sight of him, frowning in confusion. He asked softly, “Kiddo? What brings you here?” Ducking Uncle’s gaze, Michael hung his head, stammering. “Uncle, I brought your favorites. Dad’s really sad. He misses the old time with you.” The man’s eyes fell on the lunchbox. Memories crashed over him like a wave: shared meals, laughter echoing through the backyard. His expression softened, eyes glistening. Uncle Sam squatted down, took the lunchbox, and pulled the boy into a warm hug. In the kitchen doorway, Aunt Clara had been watching, a smile playing on her lips. She tiptoed to make a call, her eyes now sparkling with hope.
A few minutes after Aunt Clara’s phone call, the front doorbell rang again. There stood the boy’s parents, lingering awkwardly on the porch, his dad’s hands in pockets. Michael darted over, grabbing his dad’s sleeve. “Come on, Dad,” he urged, eyes bright with anticipation. When the two brothers met gaze to gaze, a deafening silence settled, the air heavy with unspoken words. Jack first broke the silence, cleared his throat and apologized sincerely, “I was wrong about the workbench.” Uncle Sam’s eyes reddened as he stepped forward. “I’m sorry, too. Let’s forget about it.” The two brothers hugged tightly, and the long-standing tension finally dissolved. At the sight of this, Michael jumped to his feet, pure delight radiating from his cheeks. Like Mom’s threads stitched back into his sweater, love wove through the cracks. At that moment, he came to realize that some bonds aren’t just repaired by time—they can be stitched whole again by the quiet love packed into a lunchbox.

第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Climate change could have large impacts on food production across the world. Rising temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures.
Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways:
Farmers can change WHAT they plant.
This could be an entirely different type of crop: corn instead of wheat. Or a different variety of a specific crop.
FOUR
KEY
WAYS
Farmers can change WHERE crops are planted. If temperatures rise in fall, crop production can shift north or southwards towards more suitable temperatures.
Farmers can change HOW crops are managed. Giving crops the right amount of water, nutrition, and protection from insects and disease can help reduce some impacts of climate change.
Farmers can change WHEN they plant. Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year, depending on when spring arrives. Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work.
A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat.
These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level! If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future
1. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour?
A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. WHEN. D. HOW.
2. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties?
A. Corn. B. Rice. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat.
3. What should be done in the future?
A. To help the farmers in need. B. To adopt the three methods.
C. To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions.
B
Each morning, the soft sound of slicing fills the air at a processing workshop in Zhangshu, Jiangxi province. Yuan Xiaoping, 69, stands by his workbench, skillfully slicing white peony root into pieces. The technique may seem effortless, but it is the result of more than 50 years of disciplined practice.
Yuan is a nationally recognized inheritor (继承人) of the Zhangshu traditional Chinese medicine processing technique, a form of craftsmanship named as national intangible cultural heritage in 2018. For over 1,800 years, Zhangshu, China’s medicine capital, has perfected the art of traditional herb processing, transforming raw plants into precise medicine. This craft relies on four signature tools: sharp knives for paper-thin slicing, copper pots for controlled heating, mineral-rich local water, and secret methods passed from master to apprentice.
Born into a family with a tradition in Chinese medicine, Yuan began working as an apprentice at the old Tiangitang pharmacy at the age of 16. He later studied under master craftsman Yu Shouxiang, who was renowned for his expertise in medicinal (药用的) cutting. Yuan devoted decades to mastering core skills of the craft, including some specialized methods. For him, the heart of the craft lies in two skills: cutting and processing.
“Every step demands precision, but it’s the knife work that truly stands out: each slice cut to perfect thickness, almost like art. “Yuan said. “Processing is not just about preparing herbs. It demands reverence for the natural properties of medicinal herbs and the application of precise methods to unlock their medical value.”
Despite modern production technologies, Yuan believes many essential steps remain dependent on experience. “Machines can cut, but they can’t read the color, smell or texture of herbs,” Yuan said. “Some techniques are simple in appearance, but they require years of repetition to do well.”
4. What can be learned about the technique?
A. It features simplicity B. It is dismissed as impractical.
C. It remains unchanged. D. It requires effort and accuracy.
5. What does the underlined word “reverence” (Para. 4) mean?
A. Awe. B. Love. C. Talent. D. Blame.
6. Which of the following can best describe Yuan?
A. Disciplined and energetic. B. Committed and highly-skilled.
C. Hardworking and friendly. D. Forward-thinking and devoted.
7. What does Yuan’s story mainly show?
A. Look before you leap. B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Strike while the iron is hot.
C
Children are born with the curiosity to explore. Yet over time they are becoming less curious about science. Why? This loss of interest may be partly the result of language cues (提示) children hear. And these cues don’t come just from parents; they can also come from school teachers who treat science as an identity rather than actions.
When talking to children, many adults might say things like “Let’s be scientists today!” or “You’re such a good scientist!”. But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.”
One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.” This stereotypical (刻板印象的) belief that science is reserved for only certain-kinds of people emerges surprisingly early. By the first grade, when asked to draw a scientist, children tend to draw a white man.
The good news is that language cues can also be directed to promote engagement with science. Describing science as actions that we take, for example, seems to protect young children’s interest in science over time. But it’s also true that teenagers are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So in contrast to its demoralizing effects on young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. In another study, cueing a future identity based on science (such as “scientist” or “doctor”) motivated middle schoolers to do more homework and was associated with higher grades.
Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science.
8 What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean?
A Inappropriate. B. Impolite. C. Unconvincing. D. Discouraging.
9. Why was action-focused language especially effective to young girls?
A. Because it avoids identity conflict in girls’ mind.
B. Because stereotypical belief is reserved for girls.
C. Because it enhances girls’ engagement in science.
D. Because it shows the activity is designed for girls.
10. What may be the author’s suggestion for parents and teachers?
A. To treat language as cues. B. To use identity-focused language.
C. To adopt flexible strategies. D. To help teenagers form identities.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Is Action Better than Identity? B. How Do Parents Raise Young Scientists?
C. How Does Age Affect Science Learning? D. What Affects Children’s Interest in Science?
D
Give a group of scientists the same data and the same research question, and they should come up with similar answers in theory. But they don’t, according to a paper published in BMC Biology, which finds that 246 ecologists analyzing the same data sets reached widely varying conclusions, with some finding effects in totally opposite directions.
The paper is the latest in a line of “many-analyst” projects that examine how results can vary because of scientists’ decisions during data analysis — and the first to study the effects in ecology. To find out how much those decisions affect the results, Elliot Gould, a Ph.D. student at the University of Melbourne, and their colleagues recruited 246 ecologists, working in 174 teams, to answer two different research questions, each based on a single data set.
The findings match up with the results of previous many-analyst studies, and show “the powerful role of subjective researcher choices in scientific projects,” says Eric Uhlmann, an organizational psychologist. Gould says: Researchers have to decide which variables to control for, for example, and how to deal with missing data. “And those different choices that we make can kind of multiply.”
It’s impossible to know whether the problem affects an entire field from just one or two examples, says Eötvös Loránd University metascientist Balazs Aczel. To find out, he is running a project to have multiple analysts each tackle a question from 100 randomly chosen social science papers. But similar findings have popped up in a range of fields — including neuroscience and economics — and suggest “we are facing a very serious issue,” he says.
Anne Scheel, a metascientist at Utrecht University, says the many-analyst findings don’t mean fields like ecology and psychology can’t ensure reliable results. Such fields tend to ask broad questions that leave a lot of choices up to researchers. “The harder sciences seem to have more success coming to agreement on difficult questions,” she says. “I think that has something to do with how precisely things are defined.”
12. What did the BMC Biology paper focus on?
A. The collection of data in ecology. B. The cause of contradictory results.
C. The effect of choices on conclusions. D. The comparison of different methods.
13. What contributes to the varying conclusions according to paragraph 3?
A. Research preference. B. Uniform data. C. Team division. D. Training gaps.
14. What has led Balazs Aczel to say “we are facing a very serious issue”?
A. The uncertainty of ecological studies. B. The challenge in choosing questions.
C. The restriction in research approaches. D. The evidence from multiple disciplines.
15. What is Anne Scheel’s suggestion on ensuring reliable results?
A. Broadening scale. B. Deepening research. C. Increasing difficulty. D. Improving precision

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 as good at things as you think you are? How good are you at managing money? Are you better than average at grammar? Psychological research suggests that we’re not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately. ____16____. This phenomenon is called the Dunning-Kruger effect.
____17____. On average, people tend to rate themselves better than most in health, leadership skills, and beyond. What’s particularly interesting is that those with the least ability often overrate their skills to the greatest extent.
When psychologists Dunning and Kruger first described the effect in 1999, they argued that people lacking knowledge and skill in particular areas suffer a double curse (祸根). They make mistakes and reach poor decisions.____18____ In other words, poor performers lack the knowledge needed to recognize how badly they’re doing.
The effect shows people usually do admit their weaknesses once they can spot them. This may be why people with average knowledge or skill often have less confidence in their abilities.____19____
Meanwhile, experts tend to be aware of just how knowledgeable they are. But they often make a different mistake: they assume that everyone else is knowledgeable, too.____20____ When they’re unskilled, they can’t see their own faults. When they’re extremely competent, they don’t perceive how unusual their abilities are.
So what can we do? First, ask for feedback from others. Second, keep learning. The more knowledgeable we become, the less likely we are to have invisible holes in our competence.
A. Actually, we often overestimate our own abilities.
B. They all have incompetence they don’t recognize.
C. In short, people are often caught in inaccurate self-perception.
D. They know enough to know that there’s a lot they don’t know.
E. This effect explains why people display imaginary superiority.
F. Knowing how competent we are is more than a self-confidence boost.
G. But those knowledge gaps also prevent them from catching their errors.

A Lunchbox Stitched with Love
Michael had watched it all unfold. For twelve long months, the silence between his father Jack and uncle Sam hung heavier than the winter fog clinging to their small town. It started with their late (已故的) father’s old workbench (工作台) — hand-carved by their grandfather, a piece they’d both cherished. When their dad passed away, Uncle Sam took it to restore, but his father Jack thought he’d taken it for himself forever. “You always got first pick,” Jack snapped; Sam shot back, “At least I’m not letting it rot.” Doors slammed, and they’d not spoken since.
Jack, once a man who laughed so loud that the neighbors knocked to complain, now moved like a ghost: mornings without the clatter (哐啷声) of his favorite coffee mug, evenings staring at the unlit fireplace in dead silence.
One afternoon, Michael found his dad on the porch (门廊), staring at a photo — Jack and Sam, arms slung over each other’s shoulders at the workbench, both grinning wide. “Why don’t you call him?” Michael asked. Jack’s jaw tightened. “Some things can’t be fixed, kiddo.” But Michael shook his head. He’d watched his mom mend his favorite sweater with a needle and thread, turning a hole into something stitched with care. Michael also noticed that Aunt Clara, Uncle Sam’s wife, still called Mom, asking gently how his dad was doing. Maybe broken things just needed the right hands to fix them.
That night, Michael slid a list of Uncle Sam’s favorite foods into his pocket — the ones Dad had always bought at the market on weekends, the two of them laughing over plates together. By morning, Michael had come up with a plan: something sweet might fix. With his allowance, he set out to fill his dad’s old lunchbox with what was on the list. Michael hit the market: Mrs. Hernandez’s warm meat pies; Mr. Patel’s spicy mango sauce and buttery cookies. Although his shirt was stained with jam, and his shoes were coated in dirt, Michael smiled, seeing the lunchbox was full.
