Her groundbreaking experiments in 1856demonstrated that carbon dioxide(CO₂) traps heat in the atmosphere, laying the foundation for our understanding of climate change. However, she remains largely unknown while John Tyndall, an Irish physicist who conducted similar experiments three years later, is celebrated as the father of climate science. He still does to this day despite the truth now being known. What a pity for Foote! Foote's work would still be lost to us if not for an accidental finding by a retired geologist named Raymond Sorenson in 2011. While looking through The Annual of Scientific Discovery, Sorenson chanced upon an 1857 report covering a presentation of Foote's groundwork. It was purely blind luck, Sorenson says. The report provided a detailed account of Foote's simple but effective experiments. She filled one container with “common air” and another identical one with carbon dioxide. She then put thermometers(温度计) into each container and placed the containers in sunlight. Soon, the temperatures in the greenhouse gas container rose above those of the container filled with common air. What happened to Foote is a true reflection of the Matilda effect, or the trend of men getting credit for women's breakthroughs, which is common across scientific history. One of the most famous examples is the case of the British female scientist Rosalind Franklin, whose work was essential to the discovery of the shape of DNA, though only James Watson and Francis Crick gained awards. Since Tyndall had access to the latest scientific equipment, he could push his research further forward than Foote. Foote, however, failed to distinguish between the sun's rays and other radiation sources that heated the gases in her experiments. Tyndall, by contrast, possessed the means to draw such a distinction. Nonetheless, Foote's research represented a scientific milestone—— an achievement that is particularly impressive given her lack of equipment, formal training, and male privilege. 24. What can we learn about Foote from the first paragraph? A. She cooperated with Tyndall on climate research. B. She was celebrated as a climate science pioneer. C. She pioneered CO₂ heat-trapping experiments. D. She got the deserved recognition in history. 25. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Foote's experiment procedures. B. The complexity of Foote's experiment. C. Foote's talent for scientific research. D. The challenges Foote encountered. 26. What is the author's purpose in mentioning Rosalind Franklin's case? A. To stress the importance of gender cooperation. B. To prove women outperformed men in science. C. To argue Watson and Crick were praised wrongly. D. To show women scientists' work was overlooked. 27. What can Foote be referred to as? A. A prize-winning physicist. B. A lost pearl in climate science. C. A committed environmentalist. D. A pioneer against discrimination. C The Three Gorges Dam, located on the Yangtze River in China, is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. It is an impressive hydropower project, with over 20 times the energy-generating capacity of the Hoover Dam. Now, China wants to build another revolutionary energy source: a solar array(阵列) in space. “ It is as significant as moving the Three Gorges Dam to a geostationary orbit(地球静止轨道) 36,000km above the Earth,” Long Lehao, a rocket scientist and member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering(CAE), said in a lecture reported by the South China Morning Post.“ This is an incredible project to look forward to.” The space-based solar power(SBSP) stations work by using a system of mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto panels, which then generate electricity. The electricity is then transformed to microwave radiation and beamed to a fixed antenna(天线) on Earth. SBSP panels are more reliable than the solar panels on your roof because they aren't affected by seasonal weather or nights. They can generate much more electricity than ground panels, as sunlight is much more intense in space than on Earth's surface. A recent NASA study even predicted that one model of space-based solar power could generate power for 99%of the year. As Long said in his lecture:“ The energy collected in one year will be equal to the total amount of oil that can be extracted from the Earth.” However, there are a few drawbacks holding space companies back—— namely, the sheer size of the project. The solar array is predicted to be a kilometer wide once fully established. To get their array into space, Long and his team are working on developing the Long March-9( or CZ-9)——a reusable heavy-lift rocket with a lifting capacity of at least 150 tons. That's like lifting a full-grown blue whale into space. The solar array isn't the only plan China has for space research—— it also plans to reach the Moon and build an International Lunar Research Station in partnership with Russia by 2035. 28. How do the SBSP stations send electricity to Earth? A. By sending microwaves to a ground receiver. B. By storing it in batteries and sending them back. C. By transporting solar panels back to Earth. D. By sending sound waves through the air. 29. What are the advantages of SBSP over ground-based solar energy? A. Lower cost and easier maintenance. B. Higher reliability and productivity. C. Better stability and greener energy. D. Greater efficiency and accuracy. 30. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph? A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By listing some examples. D. By explaining problem and solution. 31. What's the main idea of the text? A. The advantages and disadvantages of solar energy. B. China's plan to build a solar power station in space. C. The Three Gorges Dam as a model for space projects. D. The potential of SBSP stations to replace earth-based plants. D Understanding a proof in a math textbook is one thing; being able to reconstruct it without help is another thing. My classmates and I learned this the hard way at university. Most of our exams were oral exams, and nothing exposes a lack of deep knowledge faster than trying to explain a concept to someone. Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time. When presented with a problem, students not only need to recall relevant definitions and theories, but they also need to apply them—— sometimes in ways they never anticipated. Students often fall into a familiar trap. They read the textbooks, highlight key passages, and review lecture notes. These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn't translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we' re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly. Consuming information is not the same as developing skills. The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes," Memory is the result of thought." In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about. Reading about calculations doesn't automatically create the neural pathways needed to solve calculating problems. Those pathways only form through deliberate practice; by solving problems, making mistakes, and experiencing the struggle. As a general rule, the harder your brain works during practice, the better it performs when it matters. To truly master something, you should embrace challenges and accept the slow, often frustrating, pace of true learning. The oral math exam was valuable because it broke the illusion of passive learning. Standing in front of the professor, faced with a problem, there's nowhere to hide. The pressure to produce mathematics revealed the true state of our understanding. To truly know what we don't know, we should simulate our own oral exams by picturing an imaginary professor asking questions and forcing ourselves to figure out answers on our own. 32. What does the underlined phrase" parrot back" mean in paragraph 2? A. Repeat mechanically. B. Appreciate deeply. C. Apply creatively. D. Forget quickly. 33. Why do students fall into the learning trap? A. Because of over- reliance on textbooks. B. Because of brilliant exam performance. C. Because of a false sense of competence. D. Because of overemphasis on memory skills. 34. Which of the following statements might Daniel T. Willingham agree with? A. Repeated exposure strengthens memories. B. Active engagement builds solid memory. C. Memory improves with extensive reading. D. Learning occurs when teachers ask questions. 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. Passive Learning: The Silent Killer of Exams B. Conscious Practice: The Best Way to Learn Math C. Oral Math Exams: The Frustrating University Tests D. Active Learning: The Key to Mastering Knowledge 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。 As educators, we tend to think back and reflect on the teachers who made a difference in our lives. Some of them pushed us to do our best. 36 Among all these influential teachers, one stands out in my memory. My favorite teacher was my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Judith. She was an engaging teacher who not only offered choices in her lessons but also provided us with constant support and genuine care. One day, Mrs. Judith asked us to decorate the name tags for our desks. She provided the requirements for the assignment but left the specifics up to us. Unlike most of my classmates, I made a pattern where each letter of my name was colored differently from the next. 37 Instead, Mrs. Judith encouraged my creativity. Besides, Mrs. Judith encouraged me to participate in a gifted program. Although my scores weren't high enough to qualify me for the program, she still insisted that I should participate with another student from my class. Whenever I hesitated, she would look me in the eye and say,“You can do this.” 38 I started contributing unique ideas in group tasks, and even led a small research project with my partner. 39 Although I had no plans at that point in my life to be an educator, Mrs. Judith's approach to teaching has had an impact on my belief about quality instruction. I believe strongly that engaging students through creative, real- world activities and choice in assignments is essential for maximizing learning. 40 This enables me to build strong bonds with my students. Thanks to Mrs. Judith's influence, I am now loved by my students. A. So it's crucial for teachers to assign creative projects. B. I wasn't discouraged from using this unusual approach. C. Others even had a far- reaching impact on our career outlook. D. She selflessly helped us prepare for the program's activities. E. I also learn what it means to be a caring and inspiring educator. F. Her influence extended beyond mere academic encouragement. G. Her encouragement transformed my self- doubt into confidence. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My journey as a journalist began when I was 12 years old.

When the day finally came, our mother prepared many dishes, including a whole chicken, uncut and tempting. We were especially drawn to the juicy chicken legs which made our mouths water. We couldn't resist the urge to sink our teeth into one. However, we were somehow afraid that Mom wouldn't let us eat the chicken before dinner. Just as Mom was making her final dish, she realized she had forgotten an ingredient and headed out to the town for a quick grocery run. Our 12-year-old sister Rene was absorbed in a book in her bedroom, and the chicken was sitting invitingly on the kitchen table. Our perfect chance had come. We went to “steal” the chicken legs! Nancy giggled(咯咯地笑). “Shhh!” I whispered. “Our sister will hear us, and stop our plan.” Quiet as mice, we tiptoed into the kitchen. I swiftly grabbed a small knife Nancy had found and eagerly began cutting the chicken legs. Nancy smiled and reminded me to hurry up. “I'm trying,” I replied, “but this knife isn't working.” Desperate, we both grabbed a leg and pulled as hard as we could. Both legs came off at the same time. We both hit the floor, a leg in hand— success! With delight, we began feasting on our delicious chicken legs. Then we heard a car door shut. “Mom!” we both whispered. “Run!” I said quietly. Nancy hit the stairs. I was right on her heels. We quickly escaped to our bedroom and jumped into bed, carefully hiding our treasures under the blankets so that no one would see them. Now, all we had to do was close our eyes and pretend to be sound asleep. “Brilliant idea!” we thought smugly(沾沾自喜地). Mom stepped into the house, and the first thing she noticed was the chicken on the table— two legs gone, with messy scratches on the meat. Then we heard Mom's footsteps approaching. 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。 Pausing beside our bed, she asked, “Did the chicken legs run away by themselves?” At dinner, Nancy and I sliced the remaining chicken into equal pieces. 参考答案 第一部分 听力:略 第二部分 阅读 第一节 21.

I think we can cooperate on a cross-cultural music performance—playing Chinese guzheng and British guitar together. It can show the integration of two cultures, which fits the festival theme perfectly. Shall we meet at the school music room this Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. to discuss details like song selection? Please let me know if the time doesn't suit you. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 Pausing beside our bed, she asked, “Did the chicken legs run away by themselves?” Nancy and I squeezed our eyes tighter, our hearts pounding. Mom’s voice sounded calm, but we could feel her smile. “I guess they must have jumped into your blankets,” she said softly. We froze, then slowly pulled out the leftover chicken bones from under the covers. Mom didn’t scold us; instead, she laughed and said, “Next time, just ask—I’ll save them for you.” We nodded, relieved and a little embarrassed. At dinner, Nancy and I sliced the remaining chicken into equal pieces. We first gave a big piece to Mom and Rene, then divided the rest between us. As we ate, we told Mom about how we’d struggled to get the chicken legs. Mom listened warmly, and Rene teased us about our “little adventure”. That night, the chicken tasted extra delicious. We learned that honesty is better than hiding, and that Mom’s love is always the sweetest part of every meal. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
