Despite modern science largely agreeing that fluid intelligence is a key aspect of what makes us human，it's quite difficult for scientists to study these matters：In order to establish which parts of the brain are necessary for a certain ability，researchers must study patients in whom that part is either missing or damaged.So，earlier studies have mainly made use of functional imaging techniques，which are not entirely accurate and sometimes can be misleading. This latest project，led by Professor Cipolotti，included a total of 227 patients who had experienced brain injuries，like a brain tumor or stroke.The team completed this using the Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices(APM)：the bestestablished test of fluid intelligence. The APM features various multiplechoice visual pattern problems of increasing difficulty.Each of the problems shows an incomplete pattern of geometric figures and asks participants to select the missing piece from a set of multiple possible choices.Next，researchers introduced a novel“lesiondeficit mapping(损伤缺陷映射)”approach that helped to make out the complex patterns of common brain injuries，such as stroke. Results show fluid intelligencedamaged performance was mostly limited to patients with right frontal damage，as opposed to a wide set of regions distributed across the brain. “Our approach of combining novel ‘lesiondeficit mapping’ with detailed investigation of APM performance in a large sample of patients provides crucial information about the neural basis of fluid intelligence，” Professor Cipolotti concludes.

Having said that，I am very concerned about light pollution，particularly after reading a recent study in Science suggesting that，from 2011 to 2023，light pollution has got worse quickly.It reported the results of a citizen science project that collected information from people all over the world，totalling more than 51，000 observations of the night sky，finding that it is brightening by close to 10 per cent each year. Light pollution isn't just a problem for stargazers.It is a driver of biodiversity loss，particularly affecting birds.It harms human health too，with an influence on mental health and links found to some cancers.It is also a huge carbon emitter—the energy used sending light into the sky is simply a waste of electricity. The International Dark Sky Association has a simple set of guidelines that people can follow to limit their contribution to light pollution.This includes making sure that any outdoor light you install is necessary，only points exactly where you need it and is only used when required.You should also limit the amount of blue light in your outdoor lighting. The biggest causes for light pollution in cities are things like streetlights and bright lights from big commercial businesses，such as supermarkets.You can write to your local government if you are concerned about unnecessary light pollution in your area. It isn't all that bad，though.Countryside charity CPRE has run a UK annual star count each February since 2019 to build up a picture of how light pollution is changing.By its estimates，in the UK at least，light pollution got better and，by 2023，still hasn't got worse.

The materials engineer's seeking to find a practical solution to control plastic pollution began in 2017.She quit her job and set up a small lab in her mother's backyard.It took her nine months to produce the first brick and even longer to convince a partner to help build the machinery to make them.But the determined ecoentrepreneur was confident in her idea and did not give up. She says，“I wanted to use my education to handle plastic waste pollution.But I was very clear that the solution had to be practical，sustainable，and affordable.The best way to do this was by channeling the waste into the construction space and finding the most efficient and affordable material to build homes.”Her company produces over 1，500 bricks a day.The pavers are made using a mix of plastic products that cannot be reprocessed or recycled. The collected plastic is mixed with sand，heated at very high temperatures，and compressed(压缩) into bricks that vary in color and thickness.The resulting product is stronger，lighter，and about 30 percent cheaper than concrete bricks.More importantly，it helps repurpose the lowest quality of plastic.“There is that waste they cannot process anymore; they cannot recycle.That is what we get.”Matee says. Matee is not nearly done.Her dream is to reduce the mountain of trash to just a hill by increasing production and expanding her offerings.She says，“The more we recycle the plastic，the more we produce affordable housing，the more we created more employment for the youth.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了材料工程师Nzambi Matee通过自己的努力，创造性地解决塑料垃圾污染的问题。 1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 imply?

Mothers warmed their babies in blankets in the freezing night air.“I thought we were going to die，”said Ms.Bayram，33 years old，a teacher who lived in Aleppo through a decade of civil war.“Aleppo has suffered so much，”she said.“It's like we are back in a deep crisis.” Two powerful earthquakes and their aftershocks devastated a section of battle－scarred northern Syria that was already suffering from war，a mass exodus of its people and a grinding(无休止的) economic crisis.Northern Syria housed millions of people displaced by the country's long civil war，including nearly two million people living in makeshift camps，more than half of whom are children. The quakes killed about 1，400 people in the Aleppo region and several other areas of Syria，said the Syrian Civil Defense organization，known as the White Helmets，and the Health Ministry affiliated with the government.Casualty figures were expected to rise，as many people were still missing and communications lines had been damaged in the earthquakes and many areas were out of reach for aid organizations and authorities. The days leading up to the earthquake saw heavy rain and snow in northern Syria，which made residents there even more vulnerable to a natural disaster，said Madevi SunSuon，spokeswoman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Turkey.“This spells disaster for an area that's already suffered，”she said. Warehouses had been damaged and hospitals were overwhelmed，residents in Aleppo said.Citizens were gathering outside in parks，school playgrounds and in yards outside mosques(清真寺)and churches，which opened their doors to displaced families. Even before the earthquakes，Syrians were struggling under the perhaps worst economic crisis since the civil war broke out more than a decade ago，marked by a collapsing currency，soaring prices and fuel shortages.Hospitals were running low on supplies.The U．N.said last month that 15 million of Syria's 22 million people were in need of humanitarian aid.

Clem and his team analyzed weather station data at the South Pole，as well as climate models to examine the warming in the Antarctic interior(内陆).They found that between 1989 and 2018，the South Pole had warmed by about 1.8℃ over the past 30 years at a rate of ＋0.6℃ per decade—three times the global average. The study also found that the strong warming over the Antarctic interior in the last 30 years was mainly driven by the tropics，especially warm ocean temperatures in the western tropical Pacific Ocean that changed the winds in the South Atlantic near Antarctica and increased the delivery of warm air to the South Pole.They suggest these atmospheric changes along Antarctica's coast are an important mechanism driving climate anomalies(异常事物) in its interior. Clem and Fogt argue that these warming trends were unlikely the result of natural climate change alone，stressing the effects of added warming related to human activities on top of the large tropical climate signal on Antarctic climate have worked together to make this one of the strongest warming trends worldwide. “From the very beginning，Kyle and I worked very well together and were able to accomplish more as a team than we were individually，”Fogt said.“We have published every year together since 2013，with one of our continuing collaborations being the annual State of the Climate reports.Our work on this project together each year ultimately led to this publication documenting the warming at the South Pole.However，most importantly for my family and me，apart from being a fantastic scientist and collaborator，Kyle is also considered as one of our closest friends.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南极地区气温异常增高及其原因。 1．What is the major cause of the South Pole's warming according to the research?

Unfortunately，all too many of us are having such “squirrel” days，according to Dr.Gloria Mark，a professor of informatics at the University of California，Irvine，who studies how digital media impacts our lives.Mark explained how decades of research has tracked the decline of the ability to focus. “In 2004，we measured the average attention on a screen to be 2 minutes，”Mark said.“Some years later，we found attention spans to be about 75 seconds.Now we find people can only pay attention to one screen for an average of 47 seconds.” Not only do people concentrate for less than a minute on any one screen，Mark said，but when attention is diverted from an active work project，it also takes about 25 minutes to refocus on that task. How can that be？“If we look at work in terms of switching projects，as opposed to the micro view of switching screens，we find people spend about 10 minutes in any work project before being interrupted and then switch to another work project，”Mark said. Yes，but then we return to the original work，right？Wrong，Mark said.Instead，when we are interrupted on project two，we switch yet again to a different task—call it project three.Unbelievably，her research has shown we are also interrupted on project three，and move on to project four. “And then you go back and pick up the original interrupted project，”Mark explained.“But it's not like you're interrupted and you do nothing.For over 25 minutes，you're actually working on other things.” “However，there's also a switch cost，”Mark added.“A switch cost is the time it takes you to go back to your work：‘Where was I？What was I thinking of？’ That additional effort can also lead to errors and stress.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍生活中注意力被打断的现象。这种现象的发展以及带来的影响。 1．What will happen if you are having“squirrel”days?

The research，conducted by the University of Maine，University of Vermont and Université Laval in Quebec，Canada，attempted to understand how society can accomplish major，transformative social change，particularly the kind of social change necessary to solve the growing problem of climate change. The researchers studied a behavior that benefits groups，but does not spread without policy support，such as a costly measure to relieve the effects of climate change.They created a mathematical model，which simulates(模拟) a society where agents live in groups and adopt the beneficial behavior of peers.That behavior，given the right conditions，can spread like a virus，but not if the institutional costs are too high. “Largescale social change is not just policy or behavior，but the emergence of a new selfreinforcing(自我强化)system that combines both.This allows us to ask new questions，such as ‘how would a new pattern of behavior and policy spread？’”says Laurent HébertDufresne，lead author on the study. The results showed that both behavioral change and policy change are required to achieve largescale social change and that they need to happen together.Though neither can get the job done on its own，policy change is especially critical.They found that sometimes the beneficial behavior can spread too far.In some cases，the spread of behavior beyond groups with supporting policy can reduce its perceived success and slow the spread of the policy，thereby limiting beneficial social change overall. In future research，the team aims to apply these types of models to all sorts of beneficial social change，particularly the challenge of tackling climate change.

No wonder they don't prefer homework. At my school，we have kept the older name for homework：prep(or to use the full name and highlight its true purpose：preparation).Prep is designed to help children prepare for the next lesson.A number of short tasks can be part of prep these days：a YouTube clip，a short film made by a teacher，a map or picture to look at.Something visual often suits the child who，by the end of a busy school day，is mentally tired. Prep can still consist of consolidation exercises but based on past experience，a practical method should be that these are not as many as to be demanding and should be adjusted to suit the child's needs.Some written work may be requested but I would hope that it would be a short piece or even a sample paragraph.“Write an essay...”comes with strings attached and usually takes rather longer than the prep time needed. Ensure that a child's workspace at home is tidy，quiet and uninterrupted by devices that are not being used for study.On tablets or PCs in use for homework，turn off the notifications or remove any apps you feel are a distraction.Keep an eye on，but not a physical presence in，the workspace until you know your child is truly selfsufficient in terms of focus and pace of work. Finally，I advise parents to coach children in the Nike approach：“Just do it.”In truth this is generally more favoured by boys than girls，who love wasting time arranging the many coloured pens and crisp stationery.Help your daughter release her inner boy，grab a pen，get the work done，cross out errors with one straight line so that the teacher can see the thought process，finish，pack the bag for tomorrow，and go out to play!

This attractive promise has been made possible by an enormous investment in fundamental research over the years.Basic knowledge of genetics and the functions and structures of proteins has proved to be a motor for discovery across medicine and agriculture.The private sector，to be sure plays an essential role in the cycle of innovation.But these advances are a reminder that investment by governments and charities is crucial in areas that offer little commercial benefit in the short term，but which in the long term promise to greatly advance wellbeing. Unfortunately，there is no guarantee that these gains will be realized.Gene therapies are a remarkable technical accomplishment.But their current enormous cost makes them hard for healthcare systems to afford. In the past，novel medicines that started out extremely costly have become much cheaper.If gene therapy is to live up to its promise，it will need to do even better than this.More efficient photosynthesis，too，will need further investment if it is to be commercialized. The longterm manufacturing costs of a new green revolution will，thankfully，be low; plants make more plants in a way that treatments never can.Gene therapies，however，need innovation to reduce the cost of making them.Here governments，charities and the private sector could usefully work together. Last，regulators also need to be quicker and more understanding of the gains to society from helping these technologies reach their potential.Innovations can languish without appropriate or timely rulemaking.Science has made a genetic revolution possible.Now that revolution must flourish. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了通过调整有机体的光合作用来帮助人类发展农业以及制药业，同时也延伸出监管者们该做和不该做的事情。 1．How do people benefit from these two advances? A．Fatal diseases will be cured. B．People can suffer from deadly diseases. C.The mechanism of photosynthesis can be changed. D．More food will be produced to feed a hungry planet. 【解析】　D　推理判断题。根据第一段的“The genetic modification of plants is allowing the mechanism of photosynthesis to be tinkered with (调整).This could lead to dramatic improvements in the productivity of plants.(植物的基因改造使光合作用的机制得以修补。这将大大提高植物的生产力。)”可知，人们从这两项进步中获益，将生产更多的粮食来养活饥饿的地球。故选D。 2．Which of the following doesn't contribute to the revolution? A．Investment by governments. B．Knowledge of genetics and proteins. C．Investment by the private sector. D．Knowledge of medicine and agriculture. 【解析】　D　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Basic knowledge of genetics and the functions and structures of proteins has proved to be a motor for discovery across medicine and agriculture.The private sector，to be sure plays an essential role in the cycle of innovation.But these advances are a reminder that investment by governments and charities is crucial in areas that offer little commercial benefit in the short term，but which in the long term promise to greatly advance wellbeing.(遗传学的基础知识和蛋白质的功能和结构已被证明是医学和农业领域发现的动力。毫无疑问，私营部门在创新周期中扮演着至关重要的角色。但这些进展提醒我们，政府和慈善机构的投资在短期内几乎没有商业效益，但从长期来看有望大大提高福祉的领域至关重要。)”可知，政府投资、遗传学和蛋白质知识以及私营部门投资都有助于这场革命，D选项没有提到，故选D。 3．What should be done to generalize the achievements according to the author?

C．Commercializing photosynthesis to meet the needs　 D．Working together to develop new drugs. 【解析】　B　推理判断题。根据第四段的“In the past，novel medicines that started out extremely costly have become much cheaper.If gene therapy is to live up to its promise，it will need to do even better than this.(在过去，一开始非常昂贵的新药物已经变得非常便宜。如果基因疗法要实现它的承诺，它需要做得比这更好。)”可知，为了推广这些成果，我们应该降低创新基因疗法的成本，故选B。 4．What does the underlined word “languish” in the last paragraph mean? A．Manage to thrive. B．Reach their potential. C．Fail to advance. D．Make proper rules. 【解析】　C　词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“Last，regulators also need to be quicker and more understanding of the gains to society from helping these technologies reach their potential.(最后，监管机构还需要更快、更了解帮助这些技术发挥潜力给社会带来的好处。)”可知，画线词所在的句子表示“如果没有适当或及时的规则制定，创新就会停滞不前”，画线词languish的意思是“不能前进”，和fail to advance意思相近，故选C。 19 (2025·绵阳模拟) For centuries，two of the most interesting questions about Leonardo da Vinci's“Mona Lisa”were“Who？”and“When？”A discovery made at Heidelberg University in 2005 answered both.A note confirmed the account of da Vinci's first biographer，Giorgio Vasari: that the sitter was a merchant's wife，Lisa Gherardini.The note also helped date the masterpicce to between 1503 and 1506. A third conundrum—“Where？”— is still in dispute.But on June 3rd a French engineer，Pascal Cotte，declared that he and a collaborator had identified the landscape in the background of the painting.During a presentation，Mr Cotte contended that the artist was more plausibly depicting a part of his native Tuscany.Da Vinci represented the area not as it was，but as，in an unrealized scheme，he intended it to be. Mr.Cotte，who was asked by the Louvre to create a digital image of the painting，is the inventor of the multispectral camera: a device that can detect not only the drawing below the surface of an oil painting but also intermediate layers of work.It was among these，under what appears to be a pointed rock，that he found a preparatory sketch(草图)showing that da Vinci intended it to represent a castellated tower. The landscape of the “Mona Lisa” also includes a huge overhanging precipice(悬崖).That is similar to one that da Vinci included in a sketch of a fortress contested(争夺) by Pisa and Florence in a war.The fortress with the nearby precipice—and a tower—all overlook the river Arno as it snakes from Florence to Pisa.All three also feature in drawings made by da Vinci to illustrate a plan about which，says Mr.Cotte，he became“obsessive”． This involved diverting(改道) the Arno to cut off Pisa's water supply and give Florence an outlet to the Mediterranean.In the early 1500s，with the two citystates at war，the idea was under active consideration.Mr.Cotte argues that a channel at the right of the“Mona Lisa”is too wide to be a road，and is instead the driedup bed of the Amo as da Vinci imagined it once his plan had been adopted. It never was.But if Mr.Cotte's theory is right，it might just explain why Gherardini，a Florentine，wears such a contented，if inscrutable，smile. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了达芬奇的名画《蒙娜丽莎》背后的秘密。 1．What was painted in the “Mona Lisa” according to Mr.Cotte? A．A part of da Vinci's hometown as it was. B．An overhanging precipice and a fortress. C．A pointed rock and a castellated tower. D．The driedup bed of a river. 【解析】　D　细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Mr.Cotte argues that a channel at the right of the “Mona Lisa” is too wide to be a road，and is instead the driedup bed of the Amo as da Vinci imagined it once his plan had been adopted.(柯特先生认为，《蒙娜丽莎》右边的通道太宽了，不可能是路，而是达芬奇在他的计划被采纳后想象的阿莫干枯的河床。)”可知柯特先生说，干涸的河床在《蒙娜丽莎》的画中。故选D。 2．Who does “he” refer to in Paragraph 4? A．Pascal Cotte B．Leonardo da Vinci C．Giorgio Vasari D．Lisa Gherardini 【解析】　B　词义猜测题。根据上句“All three also feature in drawings made by da Vinci to illustrate a plan (这三样东西也出现在达·芬奇用来说明计划的图纸中)”可知“he”指代的是上句中的da Vinci(达·芬奇)。故选B。 3．Why did Mona Lisa smile based on Cotte's theory? A．Because da Vinci's idea was taken seriously. B．Because da Vinci's plan was adopted. C．Because Pisa's water supply was cut off. D．Because Florence had a good chance to win the war. 【解析】　D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“This involved diverting(改道) the Arno to cut off Pisa's water supply and give Florence an outlet to the Mediterranean.In the early 1500s，with the two citystates at war，the idea was under active consideration.(这包括将亚诺河改道，切断比萨的供水，给佛罗伦萨一个通往地中海的出口。在16世纪早期，由于两个城邦处于战争状态，这个想法受到了积极的考虑。)”可知，文章的Cote先生推测的是Florence会赢得这场战争，从而实现计划。故选D。 4．What's the best title of the text? A．Where did Mona Lisa smile? B．When was the “Mona Lisa” painted? C．Who was the sitter of the “Mona Lisa”？ D．Why did Mona Lisa put on a smile? 【解析】　A　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“For centuries，two of the most interesting questions about Leonardo da Vinci's ‘Mona Lisa’ were ‘Who？’ and ‘When？’ A discovery made at Heidelberg University in 2005 answered both.(几个世纪以来，关于列奥纳多·达·芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》最有趣的两个问题是：‘谁？’和‘什么时候？’2005年海德堡大学的一项发现回答了这两个问题。)”以及第二段“A third conundrum— ‘Where？’—is still in dispute.(第三个难题——‘在哪里？’——仍在争论中。)”可知，who和when的问题都被解决，而唯独where的问题没有被解决。故选A。 20 (2025·湖北武汉模拟) Quantum theory(量子理论) is perhaps the most successful scientific idea ever.Yet，a century after its birth，something remains deeply puzzling about quantum theory.It does not tell us how physical systems behave.Instead，it treats any physical system as a black box：if you do this to it now，it will react like that later.What happens in between？The theory simply doesn't tell us. An idea has recently begun to catch on.Perhaps there is no need to make anything up about what lies behind quantum theory.Perhaps it really does reveal to us the deep structure of reality，where a property is no more than something that affects something else.Perhaps this is precisely what“properties”are：the effects of interactions. Think of a simple object such as a blue teacup.Its being blue is not a property of the cup alone：colors happen in our brain as a result of the certain biological structure of our eyes and as a consequence of the interactions between daylight and the cup's surface.Its being“a teacup”refers to its potential function as a drinking container：for an alien who doesn't know about drinking tea，the very concept of a teacup is meaningless.As quantum theory shows：they are defined by their physical interactions with the rest of the world. Then，it comes with a lesson.We understand reality better if we think of it in terms of interactions，not individuals.This is why，in classic game theory，the winners in the long run are those who cooperate.Too foolishly we measure success in terms of an individual's fortunes.It misunderstands the true nature of reality，and is ultimately selfdefeating，which leads to unimaginable consequence and prevents us from addressing challenges that all humankind faces as a whole. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了量子理论向我们揭示了现实的深层结构以及相互作用的影响。 1．What possibly does quantum theory tell according to the text? A．How physical systems behave. B．How to treat physical systems. C．What effects one has on itself. D．What the structure of reality is. 【解析】　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Perhaps it really does reveal to us the deep structure of reality，where a property is no more than something that affects something else.”可知，量子理论可能告诉我们现实的结构是什么。故选D。 2．How does the author explain“the effects of interactions”？ A．By giving an example. B．By making a comparison. C．By quoting a scientist. D．By conducting a survey. 【解析】　A　推理判断题。根据第三段“Think of a simple object such as a blue teacup...”可推知，作者通过举例子解释“相互作用的影响”。故选A。 3．What does “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The consequence we bear. B．The theory in classic games. C．The fortune individuals have. D．The way to measure success. 【解析】　D　代词指代题。根据画线词上文“Too foolishly we measure success in terms of an individual's fortunes.”以及后文“misunderstands the true nature of reality，and is ultimately selfdefeating，which leads to unimaginable consequence”可知，我们用个人的财富来衡量成功，这太愚蠢了，这种衡量成功的方法误解了现实的本质，最终会弄巧成拙，导致难以想象的后果。故It指的是“衡量成功的方法”。故选D。 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To clarify a physics theory. B．To draw attention to interaction. C．To challenge a popular idea. D．To present reflections on games. 【解析】　B　写作意图题。根据最后一段中“We understand reality better if we think of it in terms of interactions，not individuals.”可推知，文章的主要目的是吸引人们注意相互作用。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
