The Solar-Powered Smart Umbrella Stand
Sixteen-year-old Lila Chen from Shanghai turned her daily frustration into a prize-winning invention — the Solar-Powered Smart Umbrella Stand. This energy-efficient device, designed to dry, store umbrellas and charge phones, earned her recognition at the National Youth Innovation Competition.
On rainy days, wet umbrellas brought a host of troubles: dripping water made hallways and classroom floors dangerously slippery, bringing a risk of slips and falls for students and teachers alike. What’s more, umbrellas left casually in corners or outside classrooms were often mixed up, and lost. Lila also noticed that many of her classmates frequently found themselves stuck with dead phone batteries. Inspired by a thought-provoking solar energy lesson she attended at school and her own tedious experience of waiting for a soggy umbrella to dry at home, Lila made up her mind to address these annoying problems in a sustainable and efficient way.
The stand has three key functions. A top solar panel powers low-wattage fans and heaters to dry umbrellas in 15 — 20 minutes. Each of its 12 slots (存放槽) houses an RFID reader: students check in with their school ID, and the stand fires off phone notifications if an umbrella is forgotten. Excess solar energy stores in a battery, powering two USB ports and supporting 24-hour use without sunlight.
Developing the prototype took six months Lila overcame loud fans and long drying times by switching to brushless fans and adjusting heaters. The biggest challenge was balancing functionality and cost — her final 180-yuan prototype succeeded.
Now installed in three local schools, the smart umbrella stand has gained widespread popularity among both students and faculty for its practicality and user-friendly design. With a view to enhancing both the intelligence and market competitiveness of her solar-powered smart umbrella stand, Lila intends to embed a high-sensitivity rain sensor that triggers the drying process upon rainfall detection, and partner with manufacturers to cut down on costs. “Innovation is nothing but thinking outside the box,” she remarked, which lit a fire under other young inventors.
24. What was the main inspiration behind Lila Chen’s invention?
A. Some inconveniences common in school life.
B. Her teacher’s suggestion to enter a competition.
C. A school project on renewable energy technologies.
D. A news report about high-tech umbrella storage systems.
25. How does the RFID system in the umbrella stand help students?
A. It charges a student’s phone using data from his school ID.
B. It automatically opens the correct slot when a student approaches.
C. It sends a reminder to the student who leaves without his umbrella.
D. It tracks how often each student uses the stand for attendance records.
26. What will Lila probably do to improve her invention next?
A. Increase the size to hold more umbrellas.
B. Remove the USB charging function to lower costs.
C. Change the solar panel to a traditional power source.
D. Make the stand automatically start drying when it rains.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards Lila and her invention?
A. Critical. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.

The debate has lasted for more than a century: does birth order shape personality, or are ideas about responsible firstborns and creative youngest children weak stereotypes? Although several previous studies suggested there was little evidence for meaningful differences, a study published on Monday argues that there is an effect after all.
In one of the largest studies ever conducted on birth order, family size and personality, Canadian researchers gathered data from more than 700,000 volunteers and found that on average, middle children scored higher than their siblings on traits seen as important for cooperation. Scores for the same traits were also higher in families with more children, suggesting that people may be more likely to develop a cooperative personality when they are raised as part of a bigger group.
Although the effects were not large, the researchers believe the findings challenge earlier conclusions. “The weight of that evidence now indicates that personality trait levels do differ as a function of birth order and sibship size,” wrote Michael Ashton and Kiboom Lee in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Interest in birth order goes back a long way, In 1874, Francis Galton examined English scientists and argued that firstborns benefited from greater parental attention. Later, psychologist Alfred Adler suggested that firstborns tended to be conscientious, youngest children creative, and middle children peacemakers, though some viewed them as “forgotten children.”
Earlier research found firstborns to be slightly smarter than later-born children, a pattern also observed in the Canadian study. Beyond intelligence, the researchers identified differences in cooperative traits. People with more siblings scored higher on agreeableness and honesty-humility, with middle children showing a small additional advantage.
The findings suggest that if an only child and a person from a family of six were chosen at random, there was a 60% chance that the more agreeable would be from the family of six. “You can’t tell much about the personality of a given individual from their birth order or family size, even though there are clear differences when averaging across many people. Anyway, having more siblings fosters a more cooperative personality, while being a middle child calls for good bonds with younger and older siblings,” Lee said.
28. What can we learn from the study results?
A. Only middle children develop cooperative traits.
B. Birth order shapes personality more than family size.
C. Family size may contribute to cooperative personality.
D. Middle children have better academic performances.
29. Why does the author mention Galton and Adler in Para 4?
A. To explain how to be more cooperative.
B. To trace the historical interest in birth order.
C. To describe Canadian psychologists’ methods.
D. To emphasize the neglect of middle children today.
30. What do Lee’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Statistical differences are practically meaningless.
B. Birth order and family size have no effect on personality.
C. Children from big families are bound to be more agreeable.
D. Birth order alone cannot determine an individual’s personality.
31. What is the text most probably taken from?
A. A science article. B. A psychology textbook.
C. A personal biography. D. A research proposal.
D
Scientists are enlisting some unusual recruits in their efforts to forecast earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other natural phenomena. Thousands of dogs, goats and other farm animals, as well as a wide range of wildlife, are being enrolled in studies that monitor their movements from space.
The project uses tiny digital transmitters fitted to mammals, birds and even insects. These devices allow researchers to track animals’ movements through a dedicated satellite, scheduled for launch next year. While the study aims to observe how animals respond to approaching natural events such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, its purpose goes far beyond disaster prediction. According to scientists, it also helps provide new insights into migration, the spread of diseases among animals and the effects of climate crisis on wildlife.
The value of studying tagged animals has already been demonstrated in early experiments on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. Sensors attached to goats showed that the animals became nervous before volcanic eruptions and refused to move to higher grazing areas they would normally be happy to visit. This abrupt disruption of normal behavior points to an aversion — a deeply ingrained instinct shaped by environmental threat signals rather than deliberate judgment. Similar studies in the Abruzzo mountains outside Rome found that dogs sheep and other farm animals reacted in ways that predicted seven out of eight major earthquakes in the region over a 12-year period.
Accounts of animals behaving unusually before natural disasters are not new. For instance, the Greek historian Thucydides recorded that animals fled the city of Helice shortly before an earthquake in 373 BC. Likewise, before the 1975 Haicheng earthquake in China, snakes and rats were witnessed leaving their burrows.
Why animals behave this way is still unclear. During the build-up to an earthquake, geological plates release ions into the air, which animals may be able to sense, said Martin Wikelski, founder of the International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space (Icarus). Advances in tagging technology have made such studies possible, with modern transmitters weighing only a few grams.
Beyond geological research, scientists can also use the technology to monitor wildlife health. For example, electronic ear tags attached to wild pigs have shown that African swine fever, a highly contagious virus, spreads easily between wild and domestic pigs. “This information could help limit the disease’s impact on farms. The same technology is expected to shed light on animal mations and how species respond to habitat changes triggered by global warming,” said Wikelski.
32. What can be inferred from the study described in the text?
A. It enables large-scale remote observation of animal responses.
B. It aims to gain insights into the spread of diseases among people.
C. It shows goats on Mount Etna avoid higher grazing areas by nature.
D. It proves farm animals like dogs can accurately predict earthquakes.
33. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 3 most probably refer to?
A. A conscious decision requiring reasoning ability.
B. A learned behavior based on previous experience.
C. A temporary emotional reaction to unfamiliar surroundings.
D. A built- in tendency to withdraw when exposed to danger cues.
34. How does the author develop paragraph 4?
A. By quoting expert opinions. B. By analyzing scientific data.
C. By listing historical examples. D. By making a sharp comparison.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Wild Animals’ Hidden Abilities.
B. The History of Earthquake Prediction.
C. Living Sensors of Environmental Signals.
D. How Satellites Monitor Animal Migration and Diseases.

Researchers have revealed the ideal number of potted plants for our wellbeing, with their analysis discovering that “too much” decorative nature can actually hinder mental health, rather than help. ____36____
To help test responses to different doses of indoor nature, the team developed a software called the Nature View Potential tool. ____37____ Using this, alongside 3D modelling software, they designed 11 digital conference rooms with varying levels of wood, greenery and nature views visible out of windows.
The researchers recruited 412 participants, each of whom was assigned one of the virtual rooms and told to imagine that it was their new workplace, within which they were going to undertake professional development tasks. ____38____ The team then set about stressing out the participants, to determine if the natural features in the rooms helped to ease this stress or not. The researchers’ analysis revealed that a greenery dose of about 20 percent had the strongest result in terms of restoring calm and a sense of belonging for participants.
____39____ The virtual rooms with the most nature—at 60 percent full of plants, living walls and wooden ceilings—the participants experienced increasing stress, the researchers suggest. Beyond providing guidance for the occupant, they hope their findings can inform design recommendations for housing, schools, workplaces and hospitals. ____40____ “Such applications can help turn research findings into practical solutions that improve people’s lives. In an increasingly urbanized world, further research, particularly field work, on indoor dose of nature and wellbeing will become essential.” Bianchi told Newsweek.
A. The tool is closely related to the research objectives.
B. They are expected to be adopted in various real-life environments.
C. This was a completely unexpected outcome for the research team.
D. It was designed to calculate how much nature you see inside a given space.
E The participants were asked to rate their emotional states in the virtual space.
F. Meanwhile, wooden elements were also taken into consideration in the design.
G. While a moderate dose boosted wellbeing, an excessive amount produced the opposite effect.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was 14 when I met Mrs. Korthaus, the beloved English teacher at our rural Pennsylvania high school. Even as teenagers, we sensed the fearlessness her experience had given her — something she quietly passed on to us. She offered me an unjudged ground to stumble through mistakes and by trial and error to learn who I could become.
She taught literature and writing, but more, she modeled how to move through the world with courage and purpose. To her, the humanities (人文学科) were not just subjects, but a way of affirming the dignity in each student. She never demanded our attention; she inspired it. She believed behavior revealed whether a child felt loved and tried to truly see each student.
Growing up in a small lakeside town made my world feel small. I struggled to imagine a future beyond it—and within myself. Though I performed well in school, I feared success and responsibility. Writing became, through her, a window to a wider world.
More than 25 years later, with her in mind as my role model, I answered an unexpected call and became a teacher myself. I believed I was carrying forward what Mrs. Korthaus had once given me — the faith that stories could be a bridge. We wrote and read them so that every student might feel less alone in their hurt, conflict, and unsure place in the world.
Then there was him. Tom, a student who often came late, sat in the back wearing the same unwashed hoodie over his face. He challenged rules, disrespected authority, and kept his distance from classmates. Once, grinning, he joked about having stolen cars when he was younger. His assignments, if at all, were rushed and defensive. I tried encouragement, patience, even firmness — nothing seemed to reach him.
Weeks passed, and my confidence cracked. I feared seeing his name on my class list. I wondered whether all my talk of compassion had been idealistic. Perhaps some students were simply unreachable. The thought left me exhausted and ashamed.
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。
With mixed feelings, I drove to his house for a final effort.

The Solar-Powered Smart Umbrella Stand
Sixteen-year-old Lila Chen from Shanghai turned her daily frustration into a prize-winning invention — the Solar-Powered Smart Umbrella Stand. This energy-efficient device, designed to dry, store umbrellas and charge phones, earned her recognition at the National Youth Innovation Competition.
On rainy days, wet umbrellas brought a host of troubles: dripping water made hallways and classroom floors dangerously slippery, bringing a risk of slips and falls for students and teachers alike. What’s more, umbrellas left casually in corners or outside classrooms were often mixed up, and lost. Lila also noticed that many of her classmates frequently found themselves stuck with dead phone batteries. Inspired by a thought-provoking solar energy lesson she attended at school and her own tedious experience of waiting for a soggy umbrella to dry at home, Lila made up her mind to address these annoying problems in a sustainable and efficient way.
The stand has three key functions. A top solar panel powers low-wattage fans and heaters to dry umbrellas in 15 — 20 minutes. Each of its 12 slots (存放槽) houses an RFID reader: students check in with their school ID, and the stand fires off phone notifications if an umbrella is forgotten. Excess solar energy stores in a battery, powering two USB ports and supporting 24-hour use without sunlight.
Developing the prototype took six months Lila overcame loud fans and long drying times by switching to brushless fans and adjusting heaters. The biggest challenge was balancing functionality and cost — her final 180-yuan prototype succeeded.
Now installed in three local schools, the smart umbrella stand has gained widespread popularity among both students and faculty for its practicality and user-friendly design. With a view to enhancing both the intelligence and market competitiveness of her solar-powered smart umbrella stand, Lila intends to embed a high-sensitivity rain sensor that triggers the drying process upon rainfall detection, and partner with manufacturers to cut down on costs. “Innovation is nothing but thinking outside the box,” she remarked, which lit a fire under other young inventors.
24. What was the main inspiration behind Lila Chen’s invention?
A. Some inconveniences common in school life.
B. Her teacher’s suggestion to enter a competition.
C. A school project on renewable energy technologies.
D. A news report about high-tech umbrella storage systems.
25. How does the RFID system in the umbrella stand help students?
A. It charges a student’s phone using data from his school ID.
B. It automatically opens the correct slot when a student approaches.
C. It sends a reminder to the student who leaves without his umbrella.
D. It tracks how often each student uses the stand for attendance records.
26. What will Lila probably do to improve her invention next?
A. Increase the size to hold more umbrellas.
B. Remove the USB charging function to lower costs.
C. Change the solar panel to a traditional power source.
D. Make the stand automatically start drying when it rains.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards Lila and her invention?
A. Critical. B. Supportive.
C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是上海16岁女孩Lila Chen发明太阳能智能伞架的故事。

推理判断题。根据第二段“On rainy days, wet umbrellas brought a host of troubles: dripping water made hallways and classroom floors dangerously slippery, bringing a risk of slips and falls for students and teachers alike. What’s more, umbrellas left casually in corners or outside classrooms were often mixed up, and lost. Lila also noticed that many of her classmates frequently found themselves stuck with dead phone batteries. Inspired by a thought-provoking solar energy lesson she attended at school and her own tedious experience of waiting for a soggy umbrella to dry at home, Lila made up her mind to address these annoying problems in a sustainable and efficient way.(雨天时,湿漉漉的雨伞带来了一系列麻烦:滴落的水珠让走廊和教室地板变得异常湿滑,给学生和老师都带来了滑倒摔伤的风险。此外,随意放置在角落或教室外的雨伞常常被混在一起,导致丢失。莉拉还注意到,许多同学经常遇到手机电池没电的情况。受学校里一节引人深思的太阳能课程启发,以及自己在家等待湿漉漉的雨伞晾干的乏味经历,莉拉下定决心,要以一种可持续且高效的方式解决这些恼人的问题。)”可知,Lila Chen的发明背后的主要灵感是学校生活中常见的一些不便。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Each of its 12 slots (存放槽) houses an RFID reader: students check in with their school ID, and the stand fires off phone notifications if an umbrella is forgotten.(其12个存放槽内均装有射频识别(RFID)读卡器:学生用校园卡签到,若伞被遗忘,伞架会发送手机通知提醒。)”可知,雨伞架上的RFID系统会提醒没有带伞离开的学生。故选C。

细节理解题。根据最后一段“With a view to enhancing both the intelligence and market competitiveness of her solar-powered smart umbrella stand, Lila intends to embed a high-sensitivity rain sensor that triggers the drying process upon rainfall detection, and partner with manufacturers to cut down on costs.(为了进一步提升太阳能智能伞架的智能化和市场竞争力,莉拉打算嵌入一个高灵敏度雨水传感器,一旦检测到下雨便自动启动烘干程序,并计划与制造商合作降低成本。)”可知,接下来莱拉可能会使支架在下雨时自动开始干燥来改进她的发明,故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now installed in three local schools, the smart umbrella stand has gained widespread popularity among both students and faculty for its practicality and user-friendly design.(如今,这款智能伞架已安装在当地三所学校,因其实用性和用户友好的设计,在学生和教职工中广受欢迎。)”和““Innovation is nothing but thinking outside the box,” she remarked, which lit a fire under other young inventors.(“创新不过是跳出常规思维,”她说道,这句话激发了其他年轻发明家的热情。)”可知,作者对Lila和她的发明持支持的态度,故选B。
C
The debate has lasted for more than a century: does birth order shape personality, or are ideas about responsible firstborns and creative youngest children weak stereotypes? Although several previous studies suggested there was little evidence for meaningful differences, a study published on Monday argues that there is an effect after all.
In one of the largest studies ever conducted on birth order, family size and personality, Canadian researchers gathered data from more than 700,000 volunteers and found that on average, middle children scored higher than their siblings on traits seen as important for cooperation. Scores for the same traits were also higher in families with more children, suggesting that people may be more likely to develop a cooperative personality when they are raised as part of a bigger group.
Although the effects were not large the researchers believe the findings challenge earlier conclusions. “The weight of that evidence now indicates that personality trait levels do differ as a function of birth order and sibship size,” wrote Michael Ashton and Kiboom Lee in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Interest in birth order goes back a long way, In 1874, Francis Galton examined English scientists and argued that firstborns benefited from greater parental attention. Later, psychologist Alfred Adler suggested that firstborns tended to be conscientious, youngest children creative, and middle children peacemakers, though some viewed them as “forgotten children.”
Earlier research found firstborns to be slightly smarter than later-born children, a pattern also observed in the Canadian study. Beyond intelligence, the researchers identified differences in cooperative traits. People with more siblings scored higher on agreeableness and honesty-humility, with middle children showing a small additional advantage.
The findings suggest that if an only child and a person from a family of six were chosen at random, there was a 60% chance that the more agreeable would be from the family of six. “You can’t tell much about the personality of a given individual from their birth order or family size, even though there are clear differences when averaging across many people. Anyway, having more siblings fosters a more cooperative personality, while being a middle child calls for good bonds with younger and older siblings,” Lee said.
28. What can we learn from the study results?
A. Only middle children develop cooperative traits.
B. Birth order shapes personality more than family size.
C. Family size may contribute to cooperative personality.
D. Middle children have better academic performances.
29. Why does the author mention Galton and Adler in Para 4?
A. To explain how to be more cooperative.
B. To trace the historical interest in birth order.
C. To describe Canadian psychologists’ methods.
D. To emphasize the neglect of middle children today.
30. What do Lee’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Statistical differences are practically meaningless.
B. Birth order and family size have no effect on personality.
C. Children from big families are bound to be more agreeable.
D. Birth order alone cannot determine an individual’s personality.
31. What is the text most probably taken from?
A. A science article. B. A psychology textbook.
C. A personal biography. D. A research proposal.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于出生顺序、家庭规模和人格特质之间关系的研究,研究发现家庭规模可能有助于培养合作型人格,而出生顺序并非决定个人性格的唯一因素。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Scores for the same traits were also higher in families with more children, suggesting that people may be more likely to develop a cooperative personality when they are raised as part of a bigger group. (在孩子较多的家庭中,这些特质的得分也更高,这表明,当人们作为一个更大群体的一部分被抚养长大时,他们可能更容易形成合作型人格)”可知,家庭规模可能有助于培养合作型人格。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Interest in birth order goes back a long way, In 1874, Francis Galton examined English scientists and argued that firstborns benefited from greater parental attention. Later, psychologist Alfred Adler suggested that firstborns tended to be conscientious, youngest children creative, and middle children peacemakers, though some viewed them as “forgotten children.” (人们对出生顺序的兴趣由来已久,1874年,Francis Galton对英国科学家进行了研究,认为长子得益于父母更多的关注。后来,心理学家Alfred Adler提出,长子往往认真负责,最小的孩子有创造力,中间的孩子是和平缔造者,尽管有些人认为他们是“被遗忘的孩子”)”可知,作者提到Galton和Adler是为了追溯历史上对出生顺序的兴趣。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“You can’t tell much about the personality of a given individual from their birth order or family size, even though there are clear differences when averaging across many people. Anyway, having more siblings fosters a more cooperative personality, while being a middle child calls for good bonds with younger and older siblings. (即使从许多人身上平均来看存在明显差异,你也无法从一个人的出生顺序或家庭规模中判断出他们的性格。无论如何,有更多的兄弟姐妹会培养更合作的人格,而作为中间的孩子则需要与年长和年幼的兄弟姐妹建立良好的关系)”可知,Lee认为出生顺序和家庭规模虽然对人格有影响,但不能单独决定一个人的性格。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Although several previous studies suggested there was little evidence for meaningful differences, a study published on Monday argues that there is an effect after all. (尽管此前的一些研究表明,几乎没有证据表明存在有意义的差异,但周一发表的一项研究认为,毕竟还是存在影响的)”可知,文章介绍了一项关于出生顺序、家庭规模与性格关联的大规模科学研究,引用了研究数据、研究者观点,并提及相关学术期刊,具有明显的科学性和客观性,符合科学类文章的特征。故选A项。
D
Scientists are enlisting some unusual recruits in their efforts to forecast earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other natural phenomena. Thousands of dogs, goats and other farm animals, as well as a wide range of wildlife, are being enrolled in studies that monitor their movements from space.
The project uses tiny digital transmitters fitted to mammals, birds and even insects. These devices allow researchers to track animals’ movements through a dedicated satellite, scheduled for launch next year. While the study aims to observe how animals respond to approaching natural events such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, its purpose goes far beyond disaster prediction. According to scientists, it also helps provide new insights into migration, the spread of diseases among animals and the effects of climate crisis on wildlife.
The value of studying tagged animals has already been demonstrated in early experiments on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. Sensors attached to goats showed that the animals became nervous before volcanic eruptions and refused to move to higher grazing areas they would normally be happy to visit. This abrupt disruption of normal behavior points to an aversion — a deeply ingrained instinct shaped by environmental threat signals rather than deliberate judgment. Similar studies in the Abruzzo mountains outside Rome found that dogs, sheep and other farm animals reacted in ways that predicted seven out of eight major earthquakes in the region over a 12-year period.
Accounts of animals behaving unusually before natural disasters are not new. For instance, the Greek historian Thucydides recorded that animals fled the city of Helice shortly before an earthquake in 373 BC. Likewise, before the 1975 Haicheng earthquake in China, snakes and rats were witnessed leaving their burrows.
Why animals behave this way is still unclear. During the build-up to an earthquake, geological plates release ions into the air, which animals may be able to sense, said Martin Wikelski, founder of the International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space (Icarus). Advances in tagging technology have made such studies possible, with modern transmitters weighing only a few grams.
Beyond geological research, scientists can also use the technology to monitor wildlife health. For example, electronic ear tags attached to wild pigs have shown that African swine fever, a highly contagious virus, spreads easily between wild and domestic pigs. “This information could help limit the disease’s impact on farms. The same technology is expected to shed light on animal mations and how species respond to habitat changes triggered by global warming,” said Wikelski.
32. What can be inferred from the study described in the text?
A. It enables large-scale remote observation of animal responses.
B. It aims to gain insights into the spread of diseases among people.
C. It shows goats on Mount Etna avoid higher grazing areas by nature.
D. It proves farm animals like dogs can accurately predict earthquakes.
33. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 3 most probably refer to?
A. A conscious decision requiring reasoning ability.
B. A learned behavior based on previous experience.
C. A temporary emotional reaction to unfamiliar surroundings.
D. A built- in tendency to withdraw when exposed to danger cues.
34. How does the author develop paragraph 4?
A. By quoting expert opinions. B. By analyzing scientific data.
C. By listing historical examples. D. By making a sharp comparison.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Wild Animals’ Hidden Abilities.
B. The History of Earthquake Prediction.
C. Living Sensors of Environmental Signals.
D. How Satellites Monitor Animal Migration and Diseases.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家们利用卫星追踪动物,研究它们对自然灾害的反应,以及这种研究在疾病传播、动物迁徙和气候变化等方面的应用。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The project uses tiny digital transmitters fitted to mammals, birds and even insects. These devices allow researchers to track animals’ movements through a dedicated satellite, scheduled for launch next year. (该项目使用安装在哺乳动物、鸟类甚至昆虫身上的微型数字发射器。这些设备将允许研究人员通过一颗定于明年发射的专用卫星追踪动物的行动)”可知,通过卫星追踪动物,可以大规模远程观察动物的反应。故选A项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Sensors attached to goats showed that the animals became nervous before volcanic eruptions and refused to move to higher grazing areas they would normally be happy to visit. This abrupt disruption of normal behavior points to an aversion — a deeply ingrained instinct shaped by environmental threat signals rather than deliberate judgment. (安装在山羊身上的传感器显示,火山爆发前,这些动物会变得紧张,并拒绝前往它们通常会乐意去的高海拔牧区。这种正常行为的突然中断表明了一种aversion ——一种由环境威胁信号塑造的根深蒂固的本能,而不是经过深思熟虑的判断)”可知,动物在面临火山爆发等自然灾害时,会表现出一种本能上的厌恶,拒绝前往通常喜欢的地方,这种厌恶是由环境威胁信号塑造的,而不是经过深思熟虑的判断。因此,划线词aversion指的是“一种面对危险信号时退缩的本能倾向”。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Accounts of animals behaving unusually before natural disasters are not new. For instance, the Greek historian Thucydides recorded that animals fled the city of Helice shortly before an earthquake in 373 BC. Likewise, before the 1975 Haicheng earthquake in China, snakes and rats were witnessed leaving their burrows. (关于动物在自然灾害前行为异常的报道并不新鲜。例如,希腊历史学家Thucydides记载,公元前373年地震前不久,动物逃离了赫利克城。同样,在中国1975年海城地震前,有人目睹蛇和老鼠离开洞穴)”可知,作者是通过列举历史事例的方式展开第四段内容的。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Scientists are enlisting some unusual recruits in their efforts to forecast earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other natural phenomena. Thousands of dogs, goats and other farm animals, as well as a wide range of wildlife, are being enrolled in studies that monitor their movements from space. (科学家们正在招募一些不寻常的“新兵”,以预测地震、火山爆发和其他自然现象。数千只狗、山羊和其他家畜,以及各种野生动物,正在被纳入从太空监测它们行动的研究中)”可知,文章核心是介绍动物能够感知自然灾害来临前的环境信号,表现出异常行为,科学家利用卫星追踪技术监测这些行为,将动物视为“活的传感器”来预测灾害、研究生态问题。因此,“Living Sensors of Environmental Signals (环境信号的活传感器)”精准概括了文章的中心主旨,适宜作为标题使用。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Researchers have revealed the ideal number of potted plants for our wellbeing, with their analysis discovering that “too much” decorative nature can actually hinder mental health, rather than help. ____36____
To help test responses to different doses of indoor nature, the team developed a software called the Nature View Potential tool. ____37____ Using this, alongside 3D modelling software, they designed 11 digital conference rooms with varying levels of wood, greenery and nature views visible out of windows.
The researchers recruited 412 participants, each of whom was assigned one of the virtual rooms and told to imagine that it was their new workplace, within which they were going to undertake professional development tasks. ____38____ The team then set about stressing out the participants, to determine if the natural features in the rooms helped to ease this stress or not. The researchers’ analysis revealed that a greenery dose of about 20 percent had the strongest result in terms of restoring calm and a sense of belonging for participants.
____39____ The virtual rooms with the most nature—at 60 percent full of plants, living walls and wooden ceilings—the participants experienced increasing stress, the researchers suggest. Beyond providing guidance for the occupant, they hope their findings can inform design recommendations for housing, schools, workplaces and hospitals. ____40____ “Such applications can help turn research findings into practical solutions that improve people’s lives. In an increasingly urbanized world, further research, particularly field work, on indoor dose of nature and wellbeing will become essential.” Bianchi told Newsweek.
A. The tool is closely related to the research objectives.
B. They are expected to be adopted in various real-life environments.
C. This was a completely unexpected outcome for the research team.
D. It was designed to calculate how much nature you see inside a given space.
E. The participants were asked to rate their emotional states in the virtual space.
F. Meanwhile, wooden elements were also taken into consideration in the design.
G. While a moderate dose boosted wellbeing, an excessive amount produced the opposite effect.
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. E 39. G 40. B

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了来自成都的厨师陈宇在米兰开设餐厅,将中式红烧菜与意大利葡萄酒搭配,重塑当地餐饮习惯,通过地道中餐搭建起东西方文化交流桥梁的故事。
【56题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:来自成都的陈宇,已经成为重塑当地餐饮习惯的厨师之一。“one of + the + 可数名词复数”是固定结构,意为“……之一”,所以此处应用chef的复数形式。故填chefs。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他的餐厅位于米兰一个热闹街区的中心,面积不大但氛围浓厚,墙上挂满了中国各地美食的故事和照片。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“is”,所以此处应用locate的非谓语动词形式,因其与逻辑主语“his restaurant”之间为被动关系,所以应用其过去分词形式作状语,且位于句首首字母需大写。故填Located。
【58题详解】
考查连词。句意:同上。根据语意可知,空格前“small in size (面积小)”与空格后“rich in atmosphere (氛围浓)”并列作表语,为转折关系,可用连词but或yet来连接。故填but/yet。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:食客们常常会惊讶于这些浓郁、层次丰富的味道与意大利葡萄酒搭配得如此和谐,营造出一种独特的东西方交融之美。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“are ofen surprised by”,所以此处应用create的非谓语动词形式;上文的“these rich, layered flavors pair well with Italian wines”与“create”之间为逻辑上的主动关系,所以应用其现在分词形式作结果状语,表自然而然的结果。故填creating。
【60题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:一位常客说:“到目前为止,许多正宗的中国菜肴已经进入意大利和欧洲,为人们带来了更丰富的风味体验和文化感受,深受大家喜爱。”根据时间状语“So far (到目前为止)”和语境可知,此处表示到目前为止已经完成或发生的动作,应用现在完成时;主语“numerous authentic Chinese dishes”为复数,助动词用have。故填have made。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:同上。修饰动词“appreciate”,应用genuine的副词形式genuinely作状语,意为“真诚地;真正地”。故填genuinely。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词和语态。句意:陈宇解释说,像红烧肉这类菜肴,需要用小火慢炖,才能释放出其浓郁醇厚的风味,菜肴最后往往会带一丝甜味,来中和辣味。“allow sb./sth. to do sth.”为固定搭配,意为“允许……做某事,使……能够……”;此处为被动语态be allowed to do,填不定式作主语补足语;根据语意可知,主语“Some dishes”与“cook”之间为逻辑上的被动关系,即被烹饪,所以应用动词cook的不定式的被动形式。故填to be cooked。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一些美食博主不远万里穿越意大利,专程来品鉴他的菜单,他们表示中餐让他们领略到了全新的饮食方式。分析句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是“Food bloggers”,指人;关系词位于介词“of”之后作宾语,应用关系代词whom来引导。故填whom。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:陈宇决心坚守传统风味的纯正性,他认为对自身文化的自信,自然会激发外国人的兴趣。“stay true to”为固定短语,意为“忠于;坚守”,符合语境。故填to。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:另一位顾客说:“是时候向世界展示更多鲜活的中国传统了,让世界看到中国文化真正的深厚底蕴。”根据空格前的定冠词“the”和形容词“true”及空格后的“of Chinese culture”可知,此处应用rich的名词形式richness,意为“丰富;深厚底蕴”,为不可数名词。故填richness。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was 14 when I met Mrs. Korthaus, the beloved English teacher at our rural Pennsylvania high school. Even as teenagers, we sensed the fearlessness her experience had given her — something she quietly passed on to us. She offered me an unjudged ground to stumble through mistakes and by trial and error to learn who I could become.
She taught literature and writing, but more, she modeled how to move through the world with courage and purpose. To her, the humanities (人文学科) were not just subjects, but a way of affirming the dignity in each student. She never demanded our attention; she inspired it. She believed behavior revealed whether a child felt loved and tried to truly see each student.
Growing up in a small lakeside town made my world feel small. I struggled to imagine a future beyond it—and within myself. Though I performed well in school, I feared success and responsibility. Writing became, through her, a window to a wider world.
More than 25 years later, with her in mind as my role model, I answered an unexpected call and became a teacher myself. I believed I was carrying forward what Mrs. Korthaus had once given me — the faith that stories could be a bridge. We wrote and read them so that every student might feel less alone in their hurt, conflict, and unsure place in the world.
Then there was him. Tom, a student who often came late, sat in the back wearing the same unwashed hoodie over his face. He challenged rules, disrespected authority, and kept his distance from classmates. Once, grinning, he joked about having stolen cars when he was younger. His assignments, if at all, were rushed and defensive. I tried encouragement, patience, even firmness — nothing seemed to reach him.
Weeks passed, and my confidence cracked. I feared seeing his name on my class list. I wondered whether all my talk of compassion had been idealistic. Perhaps some students were simply unreachable. The thought left me exhausted and ashamed.

【答案】
With mixed feelings, I drove to his house for a final effort. As I walked up the worn steps, my heart pounded with doubt. His mother opened the door briefly, her weary voice sketching hardships no file had captured. When Tom finally appeared, he lingered in the doorway, surprise and a hint of unease crossing his face at the sight of a teacher seeking him out. I simply said he deserved better than the shadows he hid behind. When I left, his quiet “Thank you” followed me like a thin thread of trust, fragile yet unmistakably alive.
On Thanksgiving morning, a handwritten card appeared quietly on my desk. Inside was a single line: “Thanks for seeing me when I couldn’t see myself.” I stood there, the card trembling slightly in my hand, realizing how a small act of witness can steady a life already bent under hidden weight. In that moment, I finally understood what my own teacher had shown me years ago: that education is less the transfer of knowledge than the passing on of courage — the patient belief that every student is worth waiting for, searching for, and lifting.
