A
We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful natural attractions on the European continent, which are perfect for those who love to travel around the world. We’re sure they will take your breath away.
Capri’s Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto in Capri is one of Italy’s main draws for the incredible blue light visible within the cave. The peculiar effect is caused by sunlight passing through a deep underwater cavity and shining back up through the water. The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats.
The Tuscan Countryside
Few views are as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony.
Cliffs (悬崖) of Moher
The attractive Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are a sight to behold — the rugged cliffs rise up 214m high from the water and are 7km long. With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a standout attraction and well worth a day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time.
21. Why might visitors struggle to visit the Blue Grotto?
A. Because of the low entrance. B. Because of a lack of lighting.
C. Because of the deep water. D. Because of a lot of invisible rapids.
22. What makes the Tuscan countryside appealing?
A. Bare trees. B. Colorful lights.
C. Rich night life. D. Peaceful rural scenery.
23. What do the last two attractions both show?
A. The mystery of stone caves. B. The power of natural forces.
C. The history of local cultures. D. The steepness of attractive cliffs.
B
A Texas school principal inspires thousands after personally writing handwritten letters to graduates — one for every senior at Mansfield Summit High School in Arlington. Each of the 443 personalized notes came with a $1 bill, turning the gesture into more than words on paper — it symbolized kindness, hope, and encouragement.
The letters, written by Principal Jason Mutterer, weren’t just a graduation gift — they were a lasting reminder to students that they are seen, valued, and loved. His message was simple: One small act of kindness can change a life.
The idea to write handwritten letters to graduates came from a personal memory that left a lasting impression on Principal Mutterer. He recalled receiving a note from his high school government teacher — a note he still keeps. Back then, everyone expected him to follow in his family’s footsteps as a fifth-generation farmer. But that one letter from his teacher changed everything. It gave him a new vision for his life and pushed him to pursue college.
This experience planted the seed for what would become his heartfelt tradition. For this longtime school principal, each note was a way to pass on that same encouragement to his students. For many students, it was a total surprise. One of the graduates, Andrea Lozada, said the principal thanked her for her work in the girls’ track program in the letter. She said,“ Most principals don’t usually show up for student events, but Mr Mutterer is different. He is there at games, performances, and award ceremonies, cheering students on.”
The handwritten letters were more than a thoughtful graduation gift — they carried a mission. Principal Mutterer included a $1 bill in each envelope, symbolizing a simple act of generosity. The idea was to encourage every graduate to pay it forward.
“If 443 kids do random acts of kindness every day, it will have a huge impact on our society,” he concluded. These personalized notes weren’t just keepsakes — they were a challenge. A challenge to use kindness to uplift others, just as that teacher once lifted him.
24. What can we infer about Principal Mutterer’s original life plan?
A. He planned to start a business. B. He dreamed of running a school.
C. He expected to become a teacher. D. He was expected to take up agriculture.
25. Which word can best describe Principal Mutterer’s letters according to Andrea?
A. Personalized. B. Confusing. C. Alarming. D. Flowered.
26. Why does Principal Mutterer include $1 bill in the letter?
A. To fund students’ life. B. To show his generosity.
C. To support students’ education. D. To inspire kindness in students.
27. Which can best replace the underlined word “keepsakes” in the last paragraph?
A. signals B. properties C. reminders D. journals
C
The return of knitting (编织) and other “grandma’s hobbies” among young people is not just about remembering the past or taking a break from screens. Studies show that these slow, hands-on activities are good for our brains. They help improve memory, focus, movement control, and even help us manage stress. Hobbies like knitting, wood carving, or building models are an easy way for anyone, at any age, to keep their brain healthy.
Knitting is special because it trains your brain in multiple ways at once. It involves precise finger control, creative planning, and steady rhythm using both hands. This two-handed motion is calming, like some therapy (疗法) techniques. It reduces stress, boosts “feel-good” brain chemicals, and improves emotional control. A Harvard brain expert says knitting activates the brain’s reward system, enhancing focus and potentially slowing memory decline with age. Unlike the instant rewards from digital media, knitting provides a stable sense of achievement that is healthier for your brain. Moreover, the planning required strengthens brain connections, keeping your mind flexible over time.
The biggest benefit for your brain comes from learning something new not just doing the activity itself. The key is newness. When your brain faces an unfamiliar challenge, it builds new pathways, which makes it stronger. Once you master a skill, it becomes relaxing, but to keep your brain growing, you need to keep giving it new challenges. The challenge doesn’t have to be big — it just has to be new to you.
Keeping brain-stimulating hobbies throughout life is crucial, as brain health can begin declining long before symptoms appear. For older adults, such activities serve as gentle mental exercise — strengthening neural connections and compensating for natural cell loss. Participating in groups adds social benefits that combat loneliness and stress, particularly during major transitions like retirement. Research confirms practitioners feel happier and more satisfied. These benefits even extend to those with brain conditions, proving it’s never too late to start a hobby that supports overall well-being.
28. What benefit can one get from hands-on hobbies?
A. Enhancing social skills. B. Providing total digital escape.
C. Boosting long-term brain health. D. Strengthening memories for others.
29. What matters most for brain improvement?
A. How often you practice. B. How long each session lasts.
C. Whether you do it with others. D. Whether the task is new to you.
30. What is the main conclusion about brain-stimulating hobbies?
A. They are only effective before old age. B. They can be beneficial at any stage of life.
C. They mainly help those with brain diseases. D. They must be practiced alone to be effective.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Knitting Your Way to a Healthier Brain B. How to Choose the Right Brain Exercise
C. Why Young People Need Traditional Hobbies D. Grandma’s Hobbies: Fun Pastimes for Seniors
D
Birds change their behaviour and become more aggressive (富于攻击性的) when exposed to traffic noise, research suggests.
Experts at Anglia Ruskin University(ARU)examined the impact of vehicle noise pollution on yellow warblers (莺) in the Galapagos Islands. They found songbirds living in roadside areas showed increased aggression compared with those in quieter areas as too much sound affected their communication. ARU senior lecturer Dr Caglar Akcay said the results highlighted the significant impact humans had on wildlife and hoped it would help improve conservation efforts.
Researchers simulated an intruder (侵入者) by playing birdsong from a speaker at 38 locations populated by the birds. 20 sites were within 50 m of the nearest road and 18 were more than100 m away. They then measured birdsong — typically used to ward off intruders — and physical, aggressive behaviours such as approaching the speaker closely and making repeated flights across it.
Researchers found if outside noise such as traffic interfered with the birdsong, it blocked their way of communication, increasing their aggression. It was found that even minimal levels of traffic could cause such aggressive responses.
The birds also increased the minimum frequencies of their songs during the noise experiments, no matter how close their area was to the road, to make sure they could be heard over the low-frequency traffic noise.
“Our study shows the importance of considering how animals change their behaviour in conservation efforts and developing strategies to soften the effects of noise pollution on wildlife,” Dr Akcay said. “The results highlighted the significant impact human activities on wildlife behaviour, even in relatively remote locations such as the Galapagos Islands and would help improve conservation efforts.”
32. What is the main finding of the ARU research?
A. Birds prefer to live near roads. B. Traffic noise makes birds more aggressive.
C. Birds have learned to adapt to vehicle sounds. D. Human activities help improve bird communication.
33. How did the researchers measure bird aggression?
A. By analyzing different birds’ songs. B. By measuring traffic noise levels.
C. By observing birds’ reaction to recorded songs. D. By making more noise from vehicles near roads.
34. Why did birds increase the minimum frequencies of their songs?
A. To improve mating success. B. To scare away other species.
C. To signal danger to their group. D. To avoid mixing with traffic noise.
35. What is Dr Akcay’s attitude to the findings of the research?
A Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Cautious.

A Guide to Self-improvement
We often hear about self-improvement, but real growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better! ____36____ Here are five practical ways to turn this idea into action.
Practice mindfulness daily. ____37____ Instead of wasting time on your phone, spend a few minutes each day on mindfulness. You can try deep breathing, reflecting on your day, going outside, or writing down your thoughts.
____38____ This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.
Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation. ____39____ A shared journey makes goals more motivating.
Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day. ____40____
Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being brave, mindful, and willing to try. Challenge yourself a bit each day, and in 365 days, you’ll see a stronger and more capable version of yourself.
A. You can get a friend’s support.
B. Try extreme sport once in a while.
C. Say “yes” to something that scares you.
D. Mental health is as important as physical health.
E. Your progress each day is not significant enough.
F. The goal is to explore and grow, not to master it.
G. The real challenge lies in these small consistent actions.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Weiqi, a game ____56____ (value) for both its strategic depth and cultural meaning, is an ancient Chinese board game where players often face not only technical challenges but also ethical ones. Some believe weiqi should be played in a spirit of honesty, always expecting the opponent ____57____ (respond) wisely. Others admit that psychological elements, such as testing an opponent’s reading ability, play a natural role ____58____ high-level competition.
A typical dilemma occurs when one deliberately plays a move that doesn’t work — hoping the opponent will fail to punish it.

____60____ (interesting), weiqi theory has long reflected ____61____ modern game theory teaches. It may be ____62____ (reason) to take calculated risks when one is behind.

It was Chuck’s personal decision to leave the foster (寄养的) care system once he was able. Although he loved his foster parents dearly, he chose not to get adopted legally to save his foster parents the money it would cost. After all, knowing they loved him was more than enough for him.
Chuck really did his best in school, keeping his promise. He studied law and was motivated to become a good lawyer after he graduated.
After becoming a licensed lawyer, he started working for a top law firm. He worked his way up from a junior attorney (律师) to a partner in the firm. However, he eventually lost touch with his foster parents. Although they exchanged letters at first, his work gradually made it difficult to stay in touch, and eventually, their communication stopped completely.
It had been ten years since he last saw his foster parents. Chuck had a client in the city where he grew up, so he decided to drop in on his old home. He realized it was about time he visited his foster parents, so he took a day off to spend time with them. But what greeted him there was totally unexpected.
Apart from a messy lawn, he could hardly see the white paint on the walls which had been entirely covered in vines (藤蔓). As he walked towards the front door, he even wondered if anyone still lived there.
Chuck knocked at the door. After a couple of seconds, his foster dad opened the door. “Chuck?” he called out. “Is that you?”
“Dad,” he said, embracing him tightly. “What happened here? Are you alright? Where’s Mom and brother Ivan?” he asked. He had so many questions running through his head, and he wanted answers.
“Come in, son. I can’t believe you made it home. How long has it been? 10 years?” he said, bringing his foster son inside the house. “Honey, it’s Chuck! Chuck is home!” he called out to his wife.
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。
As soon as his foster mom came out of the kitchen, Chuck’s heart sank.

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
We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful natural attractions on the European continent, which are perfect for those who love to travel around the world. We’re sure they will take your breath away.
Capri’s Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto in Capri is one of Italy’s main draws for the incredible blue light visible within the cave. The peculiar effect is caused by sunlight passing through a deep underwater cavity and shining back up through the water. The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats.
The Tuscan Countryside
Few views are as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony.
Cliffs (悬崖) of Moher
The attractive Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are a sight to behold — the rugged cliffs rise up 214m high from the water and are 7km long. With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a standout attraction and well worth a day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time.
21. Why might visitors struggle to visit the Blue Grotto?
A. Because of the low entrance. B. Because of a lack of lighting.
C. Because of the deep water. D. Because of a lot of invisible rapids.
22. What makes the Tuscan countryside appealing?
A. Bare trees. B. Colorful lights.
C. Rich night life. D. Peaceful rural scenery.
23. What do the last two attractions both show?
A. The mystery of stone caves. B. The power of natural forces.
C. The history of local cultures. D. The steepness of attractive cliffs.
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了欧洲四处绝美自然景点。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Capri’s Blue Grotto中的“The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats.(这个海洞的洞口仅有一米高,所以游客要想进入里面会很困难,除非他们乘坐小船)”可知,入口高度是参观的主要障碍。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Few views are as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony.(意大利乡村托斯卡纳的丘陵景色无疑是极具吸引力的。在金色的阳光下,连绵起伏的山峦一望无际。周围环绕着柏树,这片乡村既宁静又祥和,其鲜艳的绿色和黄色色彩令人赏心悦目,构成了一幅如置身于大自然与人类和谐杰作般的迷人画面)”可知,宁静的乡村风光让托斯卡纳的乡村如此迷人。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form.(大西洋不断地冲击着悬崖峭壁,狂风在边缘处迎面袭来,这壮观的景象展现了大自然最原始的力量)”以及最后一段“This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time.(这座联合国教科文组织认定的世界遗产地以其瀑布、洞穴和湖泊而闻名。这些景观是由于数百年来水流穿过石灰岩而形成的,展现了大自然随着时间推移所具有的持久力量和变革能力)”可知,最后两个景点都展示了自然力量的威力。故选B。
B
A Texas school principal inspires thousands after personally writing handwritten letters to graduates — one for every senior at Mansfield Summit High School in Arlington. Each of the 443 personalized notes came with a $1 bill, turning the gesture into more than words on paper — it symbolized kindness, hope, and encouragement.
The letters, written by Principal Jason Mutterer, weren’t just a graduation gift — they were a lasting reminder to students that they are seen, valued, and loved. His message was simple: One small act of kindness can change a life.
The idea to write handwritten letters to graduates came from a personal memory that left a lasting impression on Principal Mutterer. He recalled receiving a note from his high school government teacher — a note he still keeps. Back then, everyone expected him to follow in his family’s footsteps as a fifth-generation farmer. But that one letter from his teacher changed everything. It gave him a new vision for his life and pushed him to pursue college.
This experience planted the seed for what would become his heartfelt tradition. For this longtime school principal, each note was a way to pass on that same encouragement to his students. For many students, it was a total surprise. One of the graduates, Andrea Lozada, said the principal thanked her for her work in the girls’ track program in the letter. She said,“ Most principals don’t usually show up for student events, but Mr Mutterer is different. He is there at games, performances, and award ceremonies, cheering students on.”
The handwritten letters were more than a thoughtful graduation gift — they carried a mission. Principal Mutterer included a $1 bill in each envelope, symbolizing a simple act of generosity. The idea was to encourage every graduate to pay it forward.
“If 443 kids do random acts of kindness every day, it will have a huge impact on our society,” he concluded. These personalized notes weren’t just keepsakes — they were a challenge. A challenge to use kindness to uplift others, just as that teacher once lifted him.
24. What can we infer about Principal Mutterer’s original life plan?
A. He planned to start a business. B. He dreamed of running a school.
C. He expected to become a teacher. D. He was expected to take up agriculture.
25. Which word can best describe Principal Mutterer’s letters according to Andrea?
A. Personalized. B. Confusing. C. Alarming. D. Flowered.
26. Why does Principal Mutterer include $1 bill in the letter?
A. To fund students’ life. B. To show his generosity.
C. To support students’ education. D. To inspire kindness in students.
27. Which can best replace the underlined word “keepsakes” in the last paragraph?
A. signals B. properties C. reminders D. journals
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了德克萨斯州一所学校的校长Jason Mutterer通过给每位毕业生手写信件并附上1美元的方式,传递善意、希望和鼓励,激励学生们用善行影响他人。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Back then, everyone expected him to follow in his family’s footsteps as a fifth-generation farmer. (那时,每个人都期望他能追随家族的脚步,成为第五代农民。)”可推知,校长原本的人生规划是从事农业,成为第五代农民。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“One of the graduates, Andrea Lozada, said the principal thanked her for her work in the girls’ track program in the letter. (其中一位毕业生Andrea Lozada说,校长在信中感谢她在女子田径项目中所做的工作。)”以及后文她对校长与其他校长不同的评价可推知,Andrea认为校长的信是针对个人而写的,即“个性化的”。A项“Personalized个性化的”符合题意。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Principal Mutterer included a $1 bill in each envelope, symbolizing a simple act of generosity. The idea was to encourage every graduate to pay it forward. (Mutterer校长在每个信封里都放了一张1美元的钞票,象征着一种简单的慷慨行为。这个想法是为了鼓励每一位毕业生将这份善意传递下去。)”以及第六段中的“If 443 kids do random acts of kindness every day, it will have a huge impact on our society (如果443个孩子每天都做善事,那将对我们的社会产生巨大的影响)”可知,校长在信中放1美元是为了鼓励毕业生们将善意传递下去,即激励学生们行善。故选D项。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“These personalized notes weren’t just keepsakes — they were a challenge. A challenge to use kindness to uplift others, just as that teacher once lifted him. (这些个性化的便条不仅仅是_____——它们是一种挑战。一种用善意来鼓舞他人的挑战,就像那位老师曾经鼓舞他一样。)”以及前文对校长信件意义的描述可知,这些个性化的便条不仅仅是对学生们的纪念,更是一种挑战,一种用善意去鼓舞他人的挑战。由此可猜测,划线单词keepsakes应为“纪念品,使人想起某事的东西”的意思,与C项“reminders提醒物,纪念品”意思相近。A项“signals信号”,B项“properties财产,性质”,D项“journals日记,日志”均不符合题意。故选C项。
C
The return of knitting (编织) and other “grandma’s hobbies” among young people is not just about remembering the past or taking a break from screens. Studies show that these slow, hands-on activities are good for our brains. They help improve memory, focus, movement control, and even help us manage stress. Hobbies like knitting, wood carving, or building models are an easy way for anyone, at any age, to keep their brain healthy.
Knitting is special because it trains your brain in multiple ways at once. It involves precise finger control, creative planning, and steady rhythm using both hands. This two-handed motion is calming, like some therapy (疗法) techniques. It reduces stress, boosts “feel-good” brain chemicals, and improves emotional control. A Harvard brain expert says knitting activates the brain’s reward system, enhancing focus and potentially slowing memory decline with age. Unlike the instant rewards from digital media, knitting provides a stable sense of achievement that is healthier for your brain. Moreover, the planning required strengthens brain connections, keeping your mind flexible over time.
The biggest benefit for your brain comes from learning something new, not just doing the activity itself. The key is newness. When your brain faces an unfamiliar challenge, it builds new pathways, which makes it stronger. Once you master a skill, it becomes relaxing, but to keep your brain growing, you need to keep giving it new challenges. The challenge doesn’t have to be big — it just has to be new to you.
Keeping brain-stimulating hobbies throughout life is crucial, as brain health can begin declining long before symptoms appear. For older adults, such activities serve as gentle mental exercise — strengthening neural connections and compensating for natural cell loss. Participating in groups adds social benefits that combat loneliness and stress, particularly during major transitions like retirement. Research confirms practitioners feel happier and more satisfied. These benefits even extend to those with brain conditions, proving it’s never too late to start a hobby that supports overall well-being.
28. What benefit can one get from hands-on hobbies?
A. Enhancing social skills. B. Providing total digital escape.
C. Boosting long-term brain health. D. Strengthening memories for others.
29. What matters most for brain improvement?
A. How often you practice. B. How long each session lasts.
C. Whether you do it with others. D. Whether the task is new to you.
30. What is the main conclusion about brain-stimulating hobbies?
A. They are only effective before old age. B. They can be beneficial at any stage of life.
C. They mainly help those with brain diseases. D. They must be practiced alone to be effective.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Knitting Your Way to a Healthier Brain B. How to Choose the Right Brain Exercise
C. Why Young People Need Traditional Hobbies D. Grandma’s Hobbies: Fun Pastimes for Seniors
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Studies show that these slow, hands-on activities are good for our brains. They help improve memory, focus, movement control, and even help us manage stress.

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The biggest benefit for your brain comes from learning something new, not just doing the activity itself. The key is newness.(对你大脑而言,最大的益处来自于学习新事物,而不仅仅是从事该活动本身。关键在于新奇性)”可知,对于大脑的改善而言,最重要的是这项任务对你来说是否是全新的。故选D。

【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The return of knitting (编织) and other “grandma’s hobbies” among young people is not just about remembering the past or taking a break from screens.

Hobbies like knitting, wood carving, or building models are an easy way for anyone, at any age, to keep their brain healthy.(年轻人重新热衷于编织以及其他“祖母辈的爱好”这一现象,并不仅仅是为了缅怀过去或者暂时远离电子设备。研究表明,这些缓慢且需要动手操作的活动对我们的大脑有益。它们有助于提高记忆力、专注力、动作控制能力,甚至能帮助我们缓解压力。像编织、木雕或制作模型这样的爱好,对于任何年龄段的人来说,都是保持大脑健康的一种简单方式)”结合文章主要说明了编织等传统动手爱好受年轻人追捧,不仅能让人远离屏幕、缓解压力,更能多方面锻炼大脑,且学习新技能对大脑益处最大,这类爱好在人生各阶段都能助力大脑健康与整体幸福感。可知,A选项“通过编织活动促进大脑健康”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Birds change their behaviour and become more aggressive (富于攻击性的) when exposed to traffic noise, research suggests.
Experts at Anglia Ruskin University(ARU)examined the impact of vehicle noise pollution on yellow warblers (莺) in the Galapagos Islands. They found songbirds living in roadside areas showed increased aggression compared with those in quieter areas as too much sound affected their communication. ARU senior lecturer Dr Caglar Akcay said the results highlighted the significant impact humans had on wildlife and hoped it would help improve conservation efforts.
Researchers simulated an intruder (侵入者) by playing birdsong from a speaker at 38 locations populated by the birds. 20 sites were within 50 m of the nearest road and 18 were more than100 m away. They then measured birdsong — typically used to ward off intruders — and physical, aggressive behaviours such as approaching the speaker closely and making repeated flights across it.
Researchers found if outside noise such as traffic interfered with the birdsong, it blocked their way of communication, increasing their aggression. It was found that even minimal levels of traffic could cause such aggressive responses.
The birds also increased the minimum frequencies of their songs during the noise experiments, no matter how close their area was to the road, to make sure they could be heard over the low-frequency traffic noise.
“Our study shows the importance of considering how animals change their behaviour in conservation efforts and developing strategies to soften the effects of noise pollution on wildlife,” Dr Akcay said. “The results highlighted the significant impact human activities on wildlife behaviour, even in relatively remote locations such as the Galapagos Islands and would help improve conservation efforts.”
32. What is the main finding of the ARU research?
A. Birds prefer to live near roads. B. Traffic noise makes birds more aggressive.
C. Birds have learned to adapt to vehicle sounds. D. Human activities help improve bird communication.
33. How did the researchers measure bird aggression?
A. By analyzing different birds’ songs. B. By measuring traffic noise levels.
C. By observing birds’ reaction to recorded songs. D. By making more noise from vehicles near roads.
34. Why did birds increase the minimum frequencies of their songs?
A. To improve mating success. B. To scare away other species.
C. To signal danger to their group. D. To avoid mixing with traffic noise.
35. What is Dr Akcay’s attitude to the findings of the research?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Cautious.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了ARU研究发现,交通噪音会干扰莺类交流,使其更具攻击性,即使少量交通噪音也会引发该反应。鸟类会提高鸣叫频率以克服噪音,研究结果为野生动物保护提供参考。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Birds change their behaviour and become more aggressive (富于攻击性的) when exposed to traffic noise, research suggests.(研究表明,鸟类在暴露于交通噪音环境中时,其行为会发生变化,变得更加具有攻击性)”可知,ARU的研究的主要发现是交通噪音会使鸟类变得更具攻击性。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers simulated an intruder (侵入者) by playing birdsong from a speaker at 38 locations populated by the birds. 20 sites were within 50 m of the nearest road and 18 were more than100 m away. They then measured birdsong — typically used to ward off intruders — and physical, aggressive behaviours such as approaching the speaker closely and making repeated flights across it.(研究人员在鸟群栖息的38个地点通过扬声器播放鸟鸣声来模拟入侵者的行为。其中20个地点距离最近的公路在50米以内,另外18个地点则在100米以外。随后,他们测量了鸟鸣声(通常用于驱赶入侵者)以及鸟类的物理攻击行为,比如靠近扬声器并反复飞过它)”可知,研究人员通过观察鸟类对录制鸟鸣声的反应来衡量鸟类的攻击性。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The birds also increased the minimum frequencies of their songs during the noise experiments, no matter how close their area was to the road, to make sure they could be heard over the low-frequency traffic noise.(在噪音实验中,这些鸟类还会提高其鸣叫的最低频率,无论它们所在的区域距离公路有多近,都是为了确保自己的叫声能盖过低频的交通噪音而这样做)”可知,鸟类提高它们歌声的最低频率是为了避免与交通噪音混杂在一起。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our study shows the importance of considering how animals change their behaviour in conservation efforts and developing strategies to soften the effects of noise pollution on wildlife,” Dr Akcay said. “The results highlighted the significant impact human activities on wildlife behaviour, even in relatively remote locations such as the Galapagos Islands and would help improve conservation efforts.”(阿克恰博士表示:“我们的研究表明,在保护工作中考虑动物行为的变化以及制定减轻噪音污染对野生动物影响的策略具有重要意义。研究结果突显了人类活动对野生动物行为产生的重大影响,即便是在像加拉帕戈斯群岛这样相对偏远的地区也是如此,这将有助于改进保护工作。”)”可知,阿克恰博士认为这项研究对保护野生动物有意义,即,对这项研究的结果持积极态度。故选A。

A Guide to Self-improvement
We often hear about self-improvement, but real growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better! ____36____ Here are five practical ways to turn this idea into action.
Practice mindfulness daily. ____37____ Instead of wasting time on your phone, spend a few minutes each day on mindfulness. You can try deep breathing, reflecting on your day, going outside, or writing down your thoughts.
____38____ This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.
Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation. ____39____ A shared journey makes goals more motivating.
Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day. ____40____
Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being brave, mindful, and willing to try. Challenge yourself a bit each day, and in 365 days, you’ll see a stronger and more capable version of yourself.
A. You can get a friend’s support.
B. Try extreme sport once in a while.
C. Say “yes” to something that scares you.
D. Mental health is as important as physical health.
E. Your progress each day is not significant enough.
F. The goal is to explore and grow, not to master it.
G. The real challenge lies in these small consistent actions.
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. C 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过每天微小的自我提升行动,如正念练习、勇敢尝试、设定目标、持续学习新事物,实现个人成长的方法。
【36题详解】
上文“Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better!(想象一下,每天进步1%——到年底,你不会进步365%,而是进步近38倍!)”说明每天进步1%带来的巨大变化,空处和前文为顺接关系,说明真正的挑战在于这些微小的行动。所以G项“真正的挑战在于这些持续的小行动”符合语境。故选G。
【37题详解】
上文“Practice mindfulness daily.(每天练习正念)”说明每天练习正念。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明心理健康的重要性。所以D项“心理健康和身体健康一样重要”符合语境,点明正念对心理健康的价值,为后文具体做法铺垫。故选D。
【38题详解】
下文“This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.(这并不意味着跳伞、从桥上蹦极等等。相反,你可以上一门有难度但有趣的课,申请你梦想中的大学,或者即使紧张也要在课堂上发言。这些小小的勇敢行为能建立自信,帮助你发现自己的真正能力)”说明要勇敢地尝试一些事情,空处为本段的主旨句,应该和勇敢地尝试相关。所以C项“对让你害怕的事情说“是””符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
上文“Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation.(设定一个明确而有意义的目标。选择一个明确可行的目标——比如每月读一本书,跑5公里,或者取得好成绩。避免设定可能降低你动力的过大的目标)”说明设定一个明确而有意义的目标,避免设定过大的目标,下文“A shared journey makes goals more motivating.(共同的旅程会让目标更有动力)”指出有人共同目标的人陪伴会更有动力,空处和前文为顺接关系,说明设定目标时可以寻求朋友的支持。所以A项“你可以得到朋友的支持”符合语境,且“shared journey”与“a friend’s support”相呼应。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day.(持续学习新事物。选择一些你感兴趣的东西——烹饪、弹吉他或编程——然后每天练习一点)”说明持续学习新事物,空处和前文为顺接关系,说明学习新事物的目的。所以F项“目标是探索和成长,而不是掌握它”符合语境,呼应“practice a little each day”的渐进式学习理念。故选F。

Some believe weiqi should be played in a spirit of honesty, always expecting the opponent ____57____ (respond) wisely. Others admit that psychological elements, such as testing an opponent’s reading ability, play a natural role ____58____ high-level competition.
A typical dilemma occurs when one deliberately plays a move that doesn’t work — hoping the opponent will fail to punish it.

Yet, in some handicap games (让子对局), these “overplays” are sometimes necessary steps to balance the ____59____ (different) in skill.
____60____ (interesting), weiqi theory has long reflected ____61____ modern game theory teaches. It may be ____62____ (reason) to take calculated risks when one is behind. Still, many experienced players avoid such tactics (招法), ____63____ (argue) that inviting an error is not the same as punishing one.
Weiqi remains a game where skill and character ____64____ (test) together. Perhaps the true challenge lies in recognizing when to play firmly and when to be kind. After all, the board itself becomes ____65____ mirror in which we reflect our decisions — not only as players, but as people.

【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有些人认为围棋应该以诚信的精神来下,始终期待对手能明智应对。固定搭配expect sb. to do sth.表示“期待某人做某事”,此处需用动词不定式作宾语补足语,故填to respond。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:另一些人承认,心理因素,比如测试对手的读棋能力,在高水平比赛中发挥着自然的作用。固定搭配play a role in表示“在……中起作用”,故填in。
【59题详解】

【61题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:有趣的是,围棋理论长期以来一直体现着现代博弈论所教授的内容。此处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,指代“现代博弈论所教授的内容”,用连接代词what引导,故填what。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:当处于劣势时,进行深思熟虑的冒险可能是合理的。此处作表语,需用形容词形式,reason的形容词为reasonable,意为“合理的”,符合句意,故填reasonable。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管如此,许多有经验的棋手会避免使用此类招法,他们认为,诱使对手犯错与惩罚对手犯错是不同的。argue与逻辑主语many experienced players之间是主动关系,需用现在分词作伴随状语,故填arguing。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:围棋仍然是一项同时考验技艺和品格的游戏。此处为谓语动词,主语skill and character与test之间是被动关系,且陈述客观事实,用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数,be动词用are,故填are tested。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:毕竟,棋盘本身就成了一面镜子,我们在其中反思自己的决定 —— 不仅是作为棋手,更是作为人。mirror为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一面镜子”,为泛指,且mirror是以辅音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词a,故填a。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
It was Chuck’s personal decision to leave the foster (寄养的) care system once he was able. Although he loved his foster parents dearly, he chose not to get adopted legally to save his foster parents the money it would cost. After all, knowing they loved him was more than enough for him.
Chuck really did his best in school, keeping his promise. He studied law and was motivated to become a good lawyer after he graduated.
After becoming a licensed lawyer, he started working for a top law firm. He worked his way up from a junior attorney (律师) to a partner in the firm. However, he eventually lost touch with his foster parents. Although they exchanged letters at first, his work gradually made it difficult to stay in touch, and eventually, their communication stopped completely.
It had been ten years since he last saw his foster parents. Chuck had a client in the city where he grew up, so he decided to drop in on his old home. He realized it was about time he visited his foster parents, so he took a day off to spend time with them. But what greeted him there was totally unexpected.
Apart from a messy lawn, he could hardly see the white paint on the walls which had been entirely covered in vines (藤蔓). As he walked towards the front door, he even wondered if anyone still lived there.
Chuck knocked at the door. After a couple of seconds, his foster dad opened the door. “Chuck?” he called out. “Is that you?”
“Dad,” he said, embracing him tightly. “What happened here? Are you alright? Where’s Mom and brother Ivan?” he asked. He had so many questions running through his head, and he wanted answers.
“Come in, son. I can’t believe you made it home. How long has it been? 10 years?” he said, bringing his foster son inside the house. “Honey, it’s Chuck! Chuck is home!” he called out to his wife.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
As soon as his foster mom came out of the kitchen, Chuck’s heart sank. She was no longer the healthy woman he once knew. Her frail appearance suggested she hadn’t eaten well for a long time. Chuck felt a deep ache in his heart. “Ivan started a business five years ago,” his dad explained. “Though we were initially happy that Ivan had found a direction, the business eventually failed, leaving them nearly bankrupt.” Shocked and heartbroken by what his foster parents had endured, Chuck took them out to dinner and promised to return the next day.
The next day, Chuck returned with good news. He informed his foster parents that he had paid off the loan and hired someone to repair the house. Handing them an envelope stuffed with cash, he smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about anything anymore.” His mom was overcome with emotion. “Chuck, you’ve done so much for us. We never expected this.” Chuck gently shook his head and said, “You gave me a home and family. Money means nothing to me. Family is everything.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Chuck离开寄养家庭后成为律师,十年后因工作回到成长的城市,决定探望养父母,却发现养父母家境衰败,养母身体欠佳,养父母的儿子生意失败,家庭陷入困境。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
