The common response from shop owners was that she could simply knock on the door for assistance. However, Rita knew that for someone like her, who values independence, this was not a practical solution. Taking initiative, Rita decided to create her own wheelchair ramps (坡道), but with a creative twist. Instead of traditional materials, she began constructing ramps using colorful toy bricks. However, as she started her project, she quickly realized that acquiring enough bricks was a challenge in itself. Many people hold onto their brick collections with fondness. Furthermore, she found that most available sets were not suited for her ram p designs. In a moment of helplessness, she reached out on social media for assistance. To her delight, the response was overwhelming. “My first donor asked how many pieces of bricks I would need to finish my very first ramp,” she shared. After estimating that she might need around 1,000 pieces, she was thrilled when he arrived with two large boxes of toy bricks. Since embarking on this heartwarming effort in 2019, Rita has built numerous ramps, earning her the lovely title of “Brick Oma”, or “Brick Grandma”. Her colorful creations have transformed shops across Hanau, including sweet shops and grocery stores, making them more accessible, one brick at a time. The colorful ramps also serve as a helpful visual cue for those with low vision, signaling an incline (倾斜) ahead. Building a ram p typically takes Rita just three to four hours, and as donations continue to pour in, she is grateful for the support. Her landlord even provided her with extra space to store the growing brick collection. Rita Ebel’s journey is a beautiful reminder of the power of community, creativity, and the firm spirit to uplift others. Through her colorful brick ramps, she is not only paving the way for greater accessibility but also spreading happiness and hope throughout her beloved Hanau. 4. What does Rita lay emphasis on? A. Comfort. B. Assistance. C. Independence. D. Adaptation. 5. What initially prevented Rita building her ramps? A. Lack of building materials. B. Trouble in technical knowledge. C. Time-consuming design process. D. High costs of traditional materials. 6. What does the underlined part “embarking on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Getting around. B. Starting up. C. Sharing in. D. Going over. 7. Which of the following can best describe Rita’s ramps? A. Wasteful and expensive. B. Solid and durable. C. Creative and technological. D. Functional and eye-catching. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述德国老人Rita Ebel用彩色积木搭建坡道，助力残障人士出行，传递温暖与希望的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, Rita knew that for someone like her, who values independence, this was not a practical solution.(然而，Rita知道，对于像她这样重视独立的人来说，这并不是一个切实可行的解决方案) ”可知，Rita注重独立。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, as she started her project, she quickly realized that acquiring enough bricks was a challenge in itself.(然而，当她开始这个项目时，她很快意识到获取足够的积木本身就是一个挑战)”可知，最初阻碍Rita搭建坡道的是缺乏积木。故选A项。 6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Since embarking on this heartwarming effort in 2019, Rita has built numerous ramps, earning her the lovely title of “Brick Oma”, or “Brick Grandma”. (自2019年embarking on这项暖心的事业以来，Rita已经搭建了无数坡道，为她赢得了“积木奶奶”这一可爱的称号)”可知，embarking on意为“开始、着手”，即她2019年开始这样暖心的事业。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Her colorful creations have transformed shops across Hanau, including sweet shops and grocery stores, making them more accessible, one brick at a time.(她那些色彩斑斓的作品改变了哈瑙市的多家店铺，包括糖果店和杂货店，用一块块积木让这些地方变得更易进入)”和第五段中的“The colorful ramps also serve as a helpful visual cue for those with low vision”(这些色彩鲜艳的坡道对视力不佳的人来说也是一个有用的视觉提示)”可知，Rita的坡道既实用又引人注目。故选D项。 C The way people express emotions while helping others can influence whether their assistance is welcomed, hated, or rewarded, according to new research from Washington State University’s Carson College of Business. “Recipients (受助者) are not passive; they pick up on emotional signals and use them to infer why someone is helping,” said Stephen Lee, assistant professor of management at Washington State University. “If they sense the helper is motivated by self-interest or responsibility, it changes the way they perceive the help and whether they are willing to return the favor.” The findings were based on three studies and a pilot study involving working adults and student participants. Participants were asked to either recall real-world helping experiences, take part in an interactive task in a behavioral lab, or respond to a situation interacting with a coworker. Across all the studies, socially engaging emotions consistently led to perceptions of prosocial (亲社会的) motives, stronger relationships, and greater willingness to reward. For leaders and managers, the study highlights the role of emotional expressions in shaping a culture of cooperation. Rather than encouraging helping behavior for its own sake, Lee recommends fostering a workplace environment where employees feel genuine gratitude for their colleagues and develop a natural sense of sympathy for others’ challenges. “Helping that stems from gratitude or concern for others is more likely to create positive, lasting relationships,” Lee said. “If leaders can model those kinds of emotions in how they help their teams, it sets the tone for a more supportive and engaged workplace.” At the individual level, employees can also benefit from reflecting on their own experiences of receiving help or by practicing perspective-taking — approaches that naturally foster more authentic emotions and social connections. “When we express genuine gratitude or sympathy, we’re not just benefiting ourselves,” Lee said. “We’re strengthening our workplace relationships and building a more resilient culture of cooperation.” 8. What can we know about recipients of help? A. They don’t care how help is offered. B. They feel it necessary to return the favor. C. They dislike receiving help from strangers. D. They can detect motives behind the help. 9. What does the study suggest about expressing positive emotions while helping? A. It makes the task easier for the helper. B. It improves the recipient’s self-respect. C. It encourages the recipient to help others. D. It reduces the need for direct communication. 10. Why does the author mention perspective-taking? A. To explain why helping is difficult. B. To show how to improve honest emotions. C. To prove that employees need more training. D. To discuss how coworkers can avoid conflicts. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Emotional Expressions Shape How Help Is Received B. Strengthening Relationship Through Help with Heart C. Expressing Emotions at Work Determines Productivity D. Building Bridges Through Genuine Emotional Expression 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍助人时的情绪表达对受助者的影响及相关研究发现与建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Recipients are not passive; they pick up on emotional signals and use them to infer why someone is helping.(受助者并非被动接受帮助，他们会捕捉情绪信号，并据此推断他人提供帮助的原因) ”可知，受助者能够察觉帮助背后的动机。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Across all the studies, socially engaging emotions consistently led to perceptions of prosocial (亲社会的)  motives, stronger relationships, and greater willingness to reward.(在所有研究中，具有社交参与性的情绪始终会让受助者感受到亲社会动机，建立更牢固的关系，并更愿意回报帮助)”可知，帮助别人时表达积极情绪会鼓励受助者回馈他人。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“At the individual level, employees can also benefit from reflecting on their own experiences of receiving help or by practicing perspective-taking — approaches that naturally foster more authentic emotions and social connections.(在个人层面，员工也可以通过反思自己接受帮助的经历或练习换位思考而受益——这些方法能自然培养更真实的情绪和社交联系) ”可知，作者提及换位思考是为了说明如何提升真诚的情绪。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段中的“The way people express emotions while helping others can influence whether their assistance is welcomed, hated, or rewarded, according to new research from Washington State University’s Carson College of Business.(华盛顿州立大学卡森商学院的新研究表明，人们在帮助他人时表达情绪的方式，会影响其帮助是否被接受、反感或得到回报) ”可知，文章主要介绍助人时的情绪表达对受助者的影响及相关研究发现与建议。因此A项“情绪表达会影响帮助的接受方式”贴合主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 D From mushrooms that cast a soft green glow to plankton (浮游生物) that gives off sparkling blue, glowing plants are nothing new for nature. Now, scientists are bringing that light to houseplants. Reporting in the Cell Press journal Matter on August 27, researchers crafted glow-in-the-dark succulents (肉质植物) that recharge in sunlight. Injected with light-emitting compounds, the plants can shine in various colors and match a small night light at their brightest. The simple, low-cost method may help lay the foundation for sustainable, plant-based lighting systems. “Picture the world of science fiction movie Avatar, where glowing plants light up an entire ecosystem,” says first author Shuting Liu of South China Agricultural University. “We wanted to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab. Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights.” Glowing greenery isn’t a new idea. Past studies have designed similar plants using genetic engineering. But the glow is often weak and is typically only available in green. The methods were also complex and costly. Instead of changing cells to glow through genetic modification, researchers from South China Agricultural University used afterglow phosphor (磷光粉) particles — materials similar to those found in glow-in-the-dark toys. These compounds absorb light and release it slowly over time. For the particles to travel through leaf tissues, the researchers had to get the size just right: around 7 micrometers, roughly the width of a red blood cell. “Smaller particles moved easily within the plant but they had low brightness,” says leading researcher Shuting Liu. “Larger particles glowed brighter but couldn’t travel far inside the plant.” The glowing succulents’ light fades over time, and the team are still studying the long-term safety of the materials for the plants. Still, the concept could offer a sustainable alternative for low-intensity lighting in pathways, gardens, or indoor decoration. The team is also exploring how the method can light up plants beyond succulents. 12. What can be inferred about glowing plants in nature? A. They are rarely found in the wild. B. They seldom give out other light but green. C. They are completely artificial creations. D. They have been studied for a long time. 13. How did Shuting Liu introduce her study on glowing plants? A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept. C. By imagining a scene. D. By providing statistics. 14. What is the main advantage of the new method compared to previous approaches? A. It is simpler and less expensive. B. It produces more colorful light. C. It is more environmentally friendly. D. It suits a wider range of plant species. 15. What should be paid special attention to when choosing phosphor particles? A. Weight. B. Measure. C. Quantity. D. Color. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍华南农业大学团队研发出发光肉质植物，通过注入磷光粉颗粒实现发光，相比传统基因工程方法更简单，低成本，虽存在光线衰减等问题，但为可持续照明提供了新可能。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“From mushrooms that cast a soft green glow to plankton that gives off sparkling blue, glowing plants are nothing new for nature. Now, scientists are bringing that light to houseplants.(从散发着柔和绿色光芒的蘑菇，到能发出闪烁蓝光的浮游生物，自然界中发光的植物并非罕见之物。如今，科学家们正将这种光芒引入室内植物之中)”可知，自然界中的发光植物已经被研究了很长时间。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Picture the world of science fiction movie Avatar, where glowing plants light up an entire ecosystem,” says first author Shuting Liu of South China Agricultural University. “We wanted to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab. Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights.”(“想象一下科幻电影《阿凡达》中的世界吧，在那里，发光的植物照亮了整个生态系统。”华南农业大学的第一作者刘舒婷说道。“我们希望通过实验室里现有的材料来实现这一愿景。想象一下，发光的树木取代路灯的情景。”)”可知，刘舒婷通过构想一个场景介绍她关于发光植物的研究。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But the glow is often weak and is typically only available in green. The methods were also complex and costly.(但这种光的亮度通常较弱，而且通常只能发出绿色光。这些方法还非常复杂且成本高昂)”可知，与以往的方法相比，这种新方法的主要优势是它更简单，成本也更低。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“For the particles to travel through leaf tissues, the researchers had to get the size just right: around 7 micrometers, roughly the width of a red blood cell.(为了让这些粒子能够穿过叶片组织，研究人员必须将粒子的尺寸精确控制在一定范围内：大约7微米，这相当于一个红细胞的宽度)”可知，在选择荧光粉颗粒时，应当特别注意尺寸、规格。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。 I’ve been studying attention for several years now, and this statement that the quality of your attention determines the quality of your life has become my north star. Here’s why I believe it’s true. Your attention is a filter (过滤器). Every moment, you’re flooded by information, thoughts, feelings, and impulses (冲动). What you focus on, whether by choice or by force, becomes your reality. The things you attend to register as targets in your brain and shape your behaviour. ____16____ That’s why two people can sit in the same room, experience the same events, yet have completely different days. One notices the annoyances and frustrations and the things going wrong. ____17____ It’s the same external reality, but very different internal experiences. Concentration really is the foundation of everything meaningful. You can’t read deeply, listen fully, learn effectively, or connect authentically without the ability to direct and maintain your attention. Most knowledge workers who struggle to be productive think they have time management problems. ____18____ You could have all the time in the world, but if your attention is broken, constantly controlled by notifications and impulses, that time becomes worthless. ____19____ And like any skill, it can be trained. Every time you bring your wandering mind back to the present task, you’re doing a mental exercise. Every time you resist the pull of a distraction, you’re building strength. In a world where big tech is spending billions upon billions of dollars in tracking and breaking your attention, developing this skill gives you an incredible advantage over others. ____20____ While others are controlled by their impulses, you can choose your focus. When AI is replacing your colleagues, you’re doing important creative work that your boss values and can’t replace. A. Attention is a skill. B. Everything else fades into background noise. C. Your attention is the most valuable resource you have. D. I think they actually have attention management problems. E. The other sees opportunities, moments of beauty and reasons to be grateful. F. While everyone else is drowning in shallow engagement, you can go deep. G. People who can maintain focus report higher life satisfaction and achievement. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了注意力的重要性及培养注意力的好处。 【16题详解】 根据空前一句 “The things you attend to register as targets in your brain and shape your behaviour.(你关注的事物会在大脑中成为目标，并塑造你的行为。)”及该空后一句 “That’s why two people can sit in the same room, experience the same events, yet have completely different days.(这就是为什么两个人坐在同一个房间里，经历同样的事情，却有完全不同的一天。)”可知，空前讨论了关注的事物影响行为；空后讨论了同境不同体验的现象，空处需衔接“关注影响”与“体验差异”的逻辑，起到承上启下作用。选项B “其他所有事物都会淡化为背景噪音” 符合原文内容，其中“Everything else”对应上文“The things you attend to register as targets”。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据空前一句 “One notices the annoyances and frustrations and the things going wrong.(一个人会注意到烦恼、挫折和出错事情。)”及该空后一句 “It’s the same external reality, but very different internal experiences.(外部现实是相同的，但内心体验却截然不同。)”。可知，空前讨论了一人关注负面事物；空后强调体验差异，空处需体现另一人的相反关注方向，形成对比。选项E“另一个人则看到机遇、美好的瞬间和感恩的理由” 符合原文内容。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据空前一句 “Most knowledge workers who struggle to be productive think they have time management problems.(大多数难以高效工作的知识工作者认为自己存在时间管理问题。)”及该空后一句 “You could have all the time in the world, but if your attention is broken, constantly controlled by notifications and impulses, that time becomes worthless.(你可以拥有世界上所有的时间，但如果你的注意力被打断，不断地被通知和冲动所控制，那么时间就变得毫无价值。)”。可知，空前讨论了工作者对问题的误判；空后强调注意力的重要性，空处需指出真实问题所在。选项D “我认为他们实际上存在注意力管理问题” 符合原文内容。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据空后一句 “And like any skill, it can be trained.(而且和任何技能一样，它是可以训练的。)”。可知，空后讨论了某事物可被训练的属性，“it” 为指代关系，空处需明确其指代对象并点明“技能”属性。选项A “注意力是一种技能” 符合原文内容。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据空前一句 “In a world where big tech is spending billions upon billions of dollars in tracking and breaking your attention, developing this skill gives you an incredible advantage over others.(在一个大型科技公司花费数十亿美元来跟踪和分散你的注意力的世界里，培养这种技能会让你比别人拥有难以置信的优势。)”及该空后一句 “While others are controlled by their impulses, you can choose your focus.(当别人被冲动控制时，你可以选择自己的关注点。)”可知，空前讨论了注意力技能带来的优势；空后通过对比体现优势，空处需延续“对比优势”的逻辑。选项F“当其他人深陷浅层参与时，你可以深入探索” 符合原文内容。“While everyone else”与空后“While others”为句式复现，故选F。 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。 William was a quiet teenage boy who lacked motivation.

Like many other students, I was eager to get involved in various activities and make the most of my college life. So, when I was accepted into our school’s famous chorus (合唱团) program, I was over the moon. The prospect of going on an international tour to China and other Asian countries was just amazing, and I was determined to do everything I could to be a good member of the chorus. One of our first performances was scheduled at the city hall about an hour away from campus. I had been looking forward to it for weeks. But that very morning, disaster struck. I woke up late and realized with horror that I had missed the bus that was supposed to take us there. My heart sank. I felt panic rising in me. I thought to myself, “This is the end of everything.” The thought of missing the international tour because of my mistake made me feel really terrible. I didn’t have a car, and I didn’t know anyone nearby who could drive me there. I was at a loss as to what to do. So, I just wandered out into the hallway, feeling really upset and kind of crying silently. That’s when Pam, my neighbor across the dormitory, came out to see what was wrong. Pam and I had known each other for two months, but our relationship had been rocky. A lot of that was my fault. I had just arrived at college and made some freshman friends. We were having so much fun, running up and down the halls, playing practical jokes on each other and laughing loudly. We didn’t really think about how all that noise might affect others on the same floor. Pam would ask us to be quiet because she was trying to sleep or needed to study. We would stop for a while, but soon we would go back to our usual fun. 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。 So, that morning, I was a bit embarrassed to see Pam who came to check on me first. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She drove me to the city hall, right before the chorus began to perform. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: So, that morning, I was a bit embarrassed to see Pam who came to check on me first. I quickly wiped my tears and tried to explain what had happened, expecting her to shrug it off or maybe even remind me of how inconsiderate I’d been before. But instead, she listened quietly, then surprised me by saying, “Wait here — I’ll get my car keys.” I stared at her in disbelief. “You’d really drive me?” I asked. She nodded with a small smile. “Everyone deserves a second chance,” she said simply. In that moment, I felt a wave of gratitude — and shame — for how I’d treated her before. She drove me to the city hall, right before the chorus began to perform. As we pulled up, I could already hear the warm-up notes echoing through the building. My heart pounded with relief and excitement. Before rushing inside, I turned to Pam and sincerely thanked her — not just for the ride, but for her kindness despite everything. From that day on, our relationship changed completely. We became real friends, and I learned a valuable lesson: respect and empathy go a long way in building meaningful connections. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的大学新生生活为线索，讲述了作者加入学校著名合唱团，期待国际巡演，却在首次市政厅演出当天睡过头错过班车，陷入无助时，曾因自己吵闹而关系紧张的邻居帕姆前来询问情况的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“所以，那天早上，看到帕姆先过来关心我，我有点尴尬。”可知，第一段可描写作者擦干眼泪解释情况，本以为帕姆会忽视或指责自己之前的不体贴，没想到帕姆愿意开车送他，作者既感激又愧疚的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“合唱团即将登台表演之际，她开车送我到了市政厅。”可知，第二段可描写作者赶到后满心欣慰与兴奋，向帕姆真诚致谢，两人自此成为真正的朋友，作者领悟到尊重与同理心对建立良好关系的重要性的情景。 2. 续写线索：尴尬解释情况——帕姆愿开车相送——作者感激愧疚——及时赶到演出场地——真诚致谢——成为好友——领悟人生道理 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/account for ②冲入：rush/dash ③致谢：thank/express gratitude 情绪类 ①愧疚：shame/remorse ②欣慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】[高分句型1] I quickly wiped my tears and tried to explain what had happened, expecting her to shrug it off or maybe even remind me of how inconsiderate I’d been before.（运用了what引导宾语从句以及现在分词短语作状语和how引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] As we pulled up, I could already hear the warm-up notes echoing through the building.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句以及现在分词短语作宾补） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋季学期高中二年级调研检测 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读 一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B Living in Hanau, Germany, 67-year-old Rita Ebel, who uses a wheelchair for most of her mobility, discovered that many local businesses were not accessible after her accident. The common response from shop owners was that she could simply knock on the door for assistance. However, Rita knew that for someone like her, who values independence, this was not a practical solution. Taking initiative, Rita decided to create her own wheelchair ramps (坡道), but with a creative twist. Instead of traditional materials, she began constructing ramps using colorful toy bricks. However, as she started her project, she quickly realized that acquiring enough bricks was a challenge in itself. Many people hold onto their brick collections with fondness. Furthermore, she found that most available sets were not suited for her ram p designs. In a moment of helplessness, she reached out on social media for assistance. To her delight, the response was overwhelming. “My first donor asked how many pieces of bricks I would need to finish my very first ramp,” she shared. After estimating that she might need around 1,000 pieces, she was thrilled when he arrived with two large boxes of toy bricks. Since embarking on this heartwarming effort in 2019, Rita has built numerous ramps, earning her the lovely title of “Brick Oma”, or “Brick Grandma”. Her colorful creations have transformed shops across Hanau, including sweet shops and grocery stores, making them more accessible, one brick at a time. The colorful ramps also serve as a helpful visual cue for those with low vision, signaling an incline (倾斜) ahead. Building a ram p typically takes Rita just three to four hours, and as donations continue to pour in, she is grateful for the support. Her landlord even provided her with extra space to store the growing brick collection. Rita Ebel’s journey is a beautiful reminder of the power of community, creativity, and the firm spirit to uplift others. Through her colorful brick ramps, she is not only paving the way for greater accessibility but also spreading happiness and hope throughout her beloved Hanau. 4. What does Rita lay emphasis on? A. Comfort. B. Assistance. C. Independence. D. Adaptation. 5. What initially prevented Rita building her ramps? A. Lack of building materials. B. Trouble in technical knowledge. C. Time-consuming design process. D. High costs of traditional materials. 6. What does the underlined part “embarking on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Getting around. B. Starting up. C. Sharing in. D. Going over. 7. Which of the following can best describe Rita’s ramps? A. Wasteful and expensive. B. Solid and durable. C. Creative and technological. D. Functional and eye-catching. C The way people express emotions while helping others can influence whether their assistance is welcomed, hated, or rewarded, according to new research from Washington State University’s Carson College of Business. “Recipients (受助者) are not passive; they pick up on emotional signals and use them to infer why someone is helping,” said Stephen Lee, assistant professor of management at Washington State University. “If they sense the helper is motivated by self-interest or responsibility, it changes the way they perceive the help and whether they are willing to return the favor.” The findings were based on three studies and a pilot study involving working adults and student participants. Participants were asked to either recall real-world helping experiences, take part in an interactive task in a behavioral lab, or respond to a situation interacting with a coworker. Across all the studies, socially engaging emotions consistently led to perceptions of prosocial (亲社会的) motives, stronger relationships, and greater willingness to reward. For leaders and managers, the study highlights the role of emotional expressions in shaping a culture of cooperation. Rather than encouraging helping behavior for its own sake, Lee recommends fostering a workplace environment where employees feel genuine gratitude for their colleagues and develop a natural sense of sympathy for others’ challenges. “Helping that stems from gratitude or concern for others is more likely to create positive, lasting relationships,” Lee said. “If leaders can model those kinds of emotions in how they help their teams, it sets the tone for a more supportive and engaged workplace.” At the individual level, employees can also benefit from reflecting on their own experiences of receiving help or by practicing perspective-taking — approaches that naturally foster more authentic emotions and social connections. “When we express genuine gratitude or sympathy, we’re not just benefiting ourselves,” Lee said. “We’re strengthening our workplace relationships and building a more resilient culture of cooperation.” 8. What can we know about recipients of help? A. They don’t care how help is offered. B. They feel it necessary to return the favor. C. They dislike receiving help from strangers. D. They can detect motives behind the help. 9. What does the study suggest about expressing positive emotions while helping? A. It makes the task easier for the helper. B. It improves the recipient’s self-respect. C. It encourages the recipient to help others. D. It reduces the need for direct communication. 10. Why does the author mention perspective-taking? A To explain why helping is difficult. B. To show how to improve honest emotions. C. To prove that employees need more training. D. To discuss how coworkers can avoid conflicts. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Emotional Expressions Shape How Help Is Received B. Strengthening Relationship Through Help with Heart C. Expressing Emotions at Work Determines Productivity D. Building Bridges Through Genuine Emotional Expression D From mushrooms that cast a soft green glow to plankton (浮游生物) that gives off sparkling blue, glowing plants are nothing new for nature. Now, scientists are bringing that light to houseplants. Reporting in the Cell Press journal Matter on August 27, researchers crafted glow-in-the-dark succulents (肉质植物) that recharge in sunlight. Injected with light-emitting compounds, the plants can shine in various colors and match a small night light at their brightest. The simple, low-cost method may help lay the foundation for sustainable, plant-based lighting systems. “Picture the world of science fiction movie Avatar, where glowing plants light up an entire ecosystem,” says first author Shuting Liu of South China Agricultural University. “We wanted to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab. Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights.” Glowing greenery isn’t a new idea. Past studies have designed similar plants using genetic engineering. But the glow is often weak and is typically only available in green. The methods were also complex and costly. Instead of changing cells to glow through genetic modification, researchers from South China Agricultural University used afterglow phosphor (磷光粉) particles — materials similar to those found in glow-in-the-dark toys. These compounds absorb light and release it slowly over time. For the particles to travel through leaf tissues, the researchers had to get the size just right: around 7 micrometers, roughly the width of a red blood cell. “Smaller particles moved easily within the plant but they had low brightness,” says leading researcher Shuting Liu. “Larger particles glowed brighter but couldn’t travel far inside the plant.” The glowing succulents’ light fades over time, and the team are still studying the long-term safety of the materials for the plants. Still, the concept could offer a sustainable alternative for low-intensity lighting in pathways, gardens, or indoor decoration. The team is also exploring how the method can light up plants beyond succulents. 12. What can be inferred about glowing plants in nature? A. They are rarely found in the wild. B. They seldom give out other light but green. C. They are completely artificial creations. D. They have been studied for a long time. 13. How did Shuting Liu introduce her study on glowing plants? A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept. C. By imagining a scene. D. By providing statistics. 14. What is the main advantage of the new method compared to previous approaches? A. It is simpler and less expensive. B. It produces more colorful light. C. It is more environmentally friendly. D. It suits a wider range of plant species. 15. What should be paid special attention to when choosing phosphor particles? A. Weight. B. Measure. C. Quantity. D. Color. 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。 I’ve been studying attention for several years now, and this statement that the quality of your attention determines the quality of your life has become my north star. Here’s why I believe it’s true. Your attention is a filter (过滤器). Every moment, you’re flooded by information, thoughts, feelings, and impulses (冲动). What you focus on, whether by choice or by force, becomes your reality. The things you attend to register as targets in your brain and shape your behaviour. ____16____ That’s why two people can sit in the same room, experience the same events, yet have completely different days. One notices the annoyances and frustrations and the things going wrong. ____17____ It’s the same external reality, but very different internal experiences. Concentration really is the foundation of everything meaningful. You can’t read deeply, listen fully, learn effectively, or connect authentically without the ability to direct and maintain your attention. Most knowledge workers who struggle to be productive think they have time management problems. ____18____ You could have all the time in the world, but if your attention is broken, constantly controlled by notifications and impulses, that time becomes worthless. ____19____ And like any skill, it can be trained. Every time you bring your wandering mind back to the present task, you’re doing a mental exercise. Every time you resist the pull of a distraction, you’re building strength. In a world where big tech is spending billions upon billions of dollars in tracking and breaking your attention, developing this skill gives you an incredible advantage over others. ____20____ While others are controlled by their impulses, you can choose your focus. When AI is replacing your colleagues, you’re doing important creative work that your boss values and can’t replace. A. Attention is a skill. B. Everything else fades into background noise. C. Your attention is the most valuable resource you have. D. I think they actually have attention management problems. E. The other sees opportunities, moments of beauty and reasons to be grateful. F. While everyone else is drowning in shallow engagement, you can go deep. G People who can maintain focus report higher life satisfaction and achievement. 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。 William was a quiet teenage boy who lacked motivation.

Like many other students, I was eager to get involved in various activities and make the most of my college life. So, when I was accepted into our school’s famous chorus (合唱团) program, I was over the moon. The prospect of going on an international tour to China and other Asian countries was just amazing, and I was determined to do everything I could to be a good member of the chorus. One of our first performances was scheduled at the city hall about an hour away from campus. I had been looking forward to it for weeks. But that very morning, disaster struck. I woke up late and realized with horror that I had missed the bus that was supposed to take us there. My heart sank. I felt panic rising in me. I thought to myself, “This is the end of everything.” The thought of missing the international tour because of my mistake made me feel really terrible. I didn’t have a car, and I didn’t know anyone nearby who could drive me there. I was at a loss as to what to do. So, I just wandered out into the hallway, feeling really upset and kind of crying silently. That’s when Pam, my neighbor across the dormitory, came out to see what was wrong. Pam and I had known each other for two months, but our relationship had been rocky. A lot of that was my fault. I had just arrived at college and made some freshman friends. We were having so much fun, running up and down the halls, playing practical jokes on each other and laughing loudly. We didn’t really think about how all that noise might affect others on the same floor. Pam would ask us to be quiet because she was trying to sleep or needed to study. We would stop for a while, but soon we would go back to our usual fun. 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。 So, that morning, I was a bit embarrassed to see Pam who came to check on me first. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She drove me to the city hall, right before the chorus began to perform. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
