In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a team of scientists has made a remarkable discovery. Using advanced satellite imagery and drone technology, they have identified a previously unknown species of tree frog. This tiny amphibian, measuring just 2 centimeters in length, has vibrant orange skin with distinctive blue spots.
Dr. Elena Silva, the lead researcher, explained the significance of the find. “In an era of widespread habitat loss, discovering a new species reminds us of the incredible biodiversity that remains to be documented and protected. This frog likely plays a specific role in its ecosystem, perhaps controlling insect populations.”
The discovery was not easy. The team spent weeks navigating dense jungle, setting up recording equipment to capture the frog’s unique call, which sounds like a high-pitched whistle. Genetic analysis confirmed it was indeed a species new to science.
However, the joy of discovery is mixed with concern. The area where the frog was found is near a region marked for possible logging. “Finding a new species here strengthens the argument for expanding protected areas,” said Dr. Silva. “We hope this little frog can become a symbol for conservation efforts.”
The team has proposed naming the species Hyloscirtus amazonius, and plans are underway to study its behavior and biology further.
4 What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The threats facing the Amazon rainforest.
B. The development of new scientific technology.
C. The discovery of a new tree frog species.
D. The career of a famous biologist.
5. Why does Dr. Silva consider the discovery significant?
A. It proves the effectiveness of new technology.
B. It highlights the need for habitat protection.
C. It reveals the frog’s unusual eating habits.
D. It attracts more tourists to the Amazon.
6. How did the scientists confirm the frog was a new species?
A. By comparing its size to other frogs.
B. By analyzing its genetic material.
C. By studying its living environment.
D. By recording its special whistle.
7. What is the team’s hope for the future of the frog’s habitat?
A. That it will be opened for eco-tourism.
B. That it will receive more legal protection.
C. That it will be used for scientific research.
D. That it will be connected to other forests.
C
Have you ever walked into a room and immediately forgotten why you went there? This common experience, known as the “doorway effect,” reveals fascinating aspects of how our memory works.
Psychologists believe that our brains compartmentalize (划分) information based on location. When you form an intention in one room — like deciding to get a book from the study — that thought is linked to that environment. Crossing a doorway into another room creates a mental “event boundary.” Your brain, in a sense, files away the memories and thoughts from the previous room to prepare for the new context. The intention to get the book, being weakly formed and tied to the old context, is often the casualty of this shift.
This phenomenon isn’t a sign of a bad memory. In fact, it might be a feature of an efficient brain. By clearing out old, possibly irrelevant information when entering a new setting, the mind is able to focus better on the present environment and tasks. It’s a form of cognitive (认知的) housekeeping.
Studies have shown that the effect occurs with virtual doorways in video games as well as real ones, suggesting it’s more about the concept of a new event or context than the physical door itself. Interestingly, the effect is less pronounced for older adults in some studies, possibly because they rely more on established habits and are less influenced by environmental cues.
So, the next time you suffer a sudden mental blank after passing through a doorway, don’t blame yourself. It’s likely just your brain doing its job, efficiently managing the endless stream of information it receives, even if it means sometimes losing a thought or two along the way.
8. What is the “doorway effect”?
A. A tendency to forget things upon entering a new room.
B. A habit of leaving doors open when leaving a room.
C. A feeling of confusion when seeing too many doors.
D. A skill for remembering different rooms in a house.
9. According to psychologists, why does this happen?
A. The brain gets overloaded with visual information.
B. The brain resets itself for a new environmental context.
C. Physical activity distracts us from our original thoughts.
D. Different rooms have different levels of lighting and noise.
10. What does the author say about this effect?
A. It indicates a decline in cognitive ability. B. It is more common in young people.
C. It shows the brain’s efficiency. D. It can be easily overcome with training.
11. Which of the following would be an example of the “doorway effect”?
A. Forgetting where you parked your car at a large mall.
B. Going to the kitchen but not remembering what you wanted.
C. Losing your train of thought during a long conversation.
D. Being unable to recall a name you just heard.
D
The concept of a “smart city” has evolved from a futuristic idea to a global development goal. At its core, a smart city uses digital technology and data analysis to improve urban services, reduce costs and resource consumption, and engage more effectively with its citizens.
Take transportation, for example. In many smart cities, integrated systems use real-time data from sensors and GPS to manage traffic flow. This can reduce congestion, shorten commute times, and lower vehicle emissions. Smart parking apps guide drivers to available spots, saving time and fuel. Public transport becomes more reliable with accurate arrival predictions and integrated payment systems.
Energy management is another key area. Smart grids (电网) can balance electricity supply and demand more efficiently, integrating renewable sources like solar and wind. Smart streetlights dim when no one is around, saving energy. In homes and buildings, smart meters provide residents with detailed feedback on their consumption, encouraging conservation.
However, the path to becoming a smart city is not without challenges. High implementation costs can be a barrier, especially for smaller cities. There are also significant concerns about data privacy and security, as these systems collect vast amounts of information about citizens’ movements and habits. Furthermore, an over-reliance on technology could exclude those who are not digitally literate, potentially widening social inequalities.
Therefore, experts argue that technology alone does not make a city smart. True smartness lies in using technology as a tool to solve real human problems, always with citizen well-being and inclusive participation as the ultimate goals. It requires thoughtful planning, strong governance, and continuous dialogue between city authorities, technology providers, and the public.
12. What is the primary goal of a smart city?
A. To attract more technology companies. B. To improve urban life through technology.
C. To reduce the number of city employees. D. To become a tourist attraction.
13. How do smart cities improve transportation according to the text?
A. By building more roads and highways. B. By encouraging people to buy electric cars.
C. By using data to manage traffic and parking. D. By offering free public transportation.
14. What is mentioned as a major concern regarding smart cities?
A They may increase energy consumption. B. They could make cities less attractive.
C. They might threaten personal privacy. D. They will lead to higher taxes.
15. What is the experts’ view on the key to a successful smart city?
A. Investing in the latest technology is crucial. B. The focus should always be on human needs.
C. Private companies should lead the development. D. It is mainly a problem of technical engineering.

For years, Mr. Johnson, a retired postman, had a simple daily routine. Every morning, he would walk to the local park, sit on his favorite bench, and watch the world go by. He was a quiet man, known for his gentle smile but few words.
One sunny Tuesday, a young boy named Leo, who was new to the neighborhood, approached the bench. He was clutching a soccer ball and looked upset. “I can’t find anyone to play with,” Leo said, more to himself than to anyone. Mr. Johnson just nodded and offered a small smile.
The next day Leo appeared again. This time, he sat on the other end of the bench. After a few minutes of silence, he started talking about his old school and friends. Mr. Johnson listened____21____, occasionally nodding. On the third day, Mr. Johnson did something ____22____. He had brought two apples from his garden. He handed one to Leo without a word.

Clearing his throat, he opened his guidebook. “Well,” he began, “see that bird with the red chest? That’s a robin (知更鸟)…” He found himself speaking more ____29____ than he had in years. The boys listened, fascinated. From that day on, Mr. Johnson was no longer just the quiet man on the bench.

45. 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。
Maya had always been fascinated by the old bookstore on Elm Street. Its dusty windows were filled with piles of books that seemed to hold centuries of stories. However, she had never dared to go inside. Maya, at fifteen, was painfully shy. The thought of talking to the store owner, an elderly man with a stern face often seen through the window, filled her with anxiety.
Her curiosity finally outweighed her fear one rainy Saturday afternoon. With her heart pounding, she pushed the heavy wooden door open. A bell chimed softly. The inside was even more wonderful than she had imagined — floor-to-ceiling shelves, the rich smell of old paper, and a sense of deep quiet. The old man, Mr. Davies, glanced up from his desk but said nothing, returning to his book.
Maya wandered through the aisles, her fingers lightly brushing the spines of the books. She lost track of time until she found herself in a corner dedicated to mythology. There, on a high shelf, was a leather-bound book titled The Lost Tales of the Star Weaver. She had read about it online — a rare collection of folktales believed to be almost impossible to find. Her eyes widened. She stood on her tiptoes, stretching her arm, but the book was just out of reach.
“Need a hand?” a voice said behind her. Maya jumped. It was Mr. Davies. He was holding a small stepping stool. His eyes, she noticed for the first time, were not stern but kind and curious behind his glasses.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Maya nodded shyly, and Mr. Davies placed the stool for her.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That rainy afternoon visit became the first of many.

In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a team of scientists has made a remarkable discovery. Using advanced satellite imagery and drone technology, they have identified a previously unknown species of tree frog. This tiny amphibian, measuring just 2 centimeters in length, has vibrant orange skin with distinctive blue spots.
Dr. Elena Silva, the lead researcher, explained the significance of the find. “In an era of widespread habitat loss, discovering a new species reminds us of the incredible biodiversity that remains to be documented and protected. This frog likely plays a specific role in its ecosystem, perhaps controlling insect populations.”
The discovery was not easy. The team spent weeks navigating dense jungle, setting up recording equipment to capture the frog’s unique call, which sounds like a high-pitched whistle. Genetic analysis confirmed it was indeed a species new to science.
However, the joy of discovery is mixed with concern. The area where the frog was found is near a region marked for possible logging. “Finding a new species here strengthens the argument for expanding protected areas,” said Dr. Silva. “We hope this little frog can become a symbol for conservation efforts.”
The team has proposed naming the species Hyloscirtus amazonius, and plans are underway to study its behavior and biology further.

Have you ever walked into a room and immediately forgotten why you went there? This common experience, known as the “doorway effect,” reveals fascinating aspects of how our memory works.
Psychologists believe that our brains compartmentalize (划分) information based on location. When you form an intention in one room — like deciding to get a book from the study — that thought is linked to that environment. Crossing a doorway into another room creates a mental “event boundary.” Your brain, in a sense, files away the memories and thoughts from the previous room to prepare for the new context. The intention to get the book, being weakly formed and tied to the old context, is often the casualty of this shift.
This phenomenon isn’t a sign of a bad memory. In fact, it might be a feature of an efficient brain. By clearing out old, possibly irrelevant information when entering a new setting, the mind is able to focus better on the present environment and tasks. It’s a form of cognitive (认知) housekeeping.
Studies have shown that the effect occurs with virtual doorways in video games as well as real ones, suggesting it’s more about the concept of a new event or context than the physical door itself. Interestingly, the effect is less pronounced for older adults in some studies, possibly because they rely more on established habits and are less influenced by environmental cues.
So, the next time you suffer a sudden mental blank after passing through a doorway, don’t blame yourself. It’s likely just your brain doing its job, efficiently managing the endless stream of information it receives, even if it means sometimes losing a thought or two along the way.
8. What is the “doorway effect”?
A. A tendency to forget things upon entering a new room.
B. A habit of leaving doors open when leaving a room.
C. A feeling of confusion when seeing too many doors.
D. A skill for remembering different rooms in a house.
9. According to psychologists, why does this happen?
A. The brain gets overloaded with visual information.
B. The brain resets itself for a new environmental context.
C. Physical activity distracts us from our original thoughts.
D. Different rooms have different levels of lighting and noise.
10. What does the author say about this effect?
A. It indicates a decline in cognitive ability. B. It is more common in young people.
C. It shows the brain’s efficiency. D. It can be easily overcome with training.
11. Which of the following would be an example of the “doorway effect”?
A. Forgetting where you parked your car at a large mall.
B. Going to the kitchen but not remembering what you wanted.
C. Losing your train of thought during a long conversation.
D. Being unable to recall a name you just heard.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B

The concept of a “smart city” has evolved from a futuristic idea to a global development goal. At its core, a smart city uses digital technology and data analysis to improve urban services, reduce costs and resource consumption, and engage more effectively with its citizens.
Take transportation, for example. In many smart cities, integrated systems use real-time data from sensors and GPS to manage traffic flow. This can reduce congestion, shorten commute times, and lower vehicle emissions. Smart parking apps guide drivers to available spots, saving time and fuel. Public transport becomes more reliable with accurate arrival predictions and integrated payment systems.
Energy management is another key area. Smart grids (电网) can balance electricity supply and demand more efficiently, integrating renewable sources like solar and wind. Smart streetlights dim when no one is around, saving energy. In homes and buildings, smart meters provide residents with detailed feedback on their consumption, encouraging conservation.
However, the path to becoming a smart city is not without challenges. High implementation costs can be a barrier, especially for smaller cities. There are also significant concerns about data privacy and security, as these systems collect vast amounts of information about citizens’ movements and habits. Furthermore, an over-reliance on technology could exclude those who are not digitally literate, potentially widening social inequalities.
Therefore, experts argue that technology alone does not make a city smart. True smartness lies in using technology as a tool to solve real human problems, always with citizen well-being and inclusive participation as the ultimate goals. It requires thoughtful planning, strong governance, and continuous dialogue between city authorities, technology providers, and the public.
12. What is the primary goal of a smart city?
A. To attract more technology companies. B. To improve urban life through technology.
C. To reduce the number of city employees. D. To become a tourist attraction.
13. How do smart cities improve transportation according to the text?
A. By building more roads and highways. B. By encouraging people to buy electric cars.
C. By using data to manage traffic and parking. D. By offering free public transportation.
14. What is mentioned as a major concern regarding smart cities?
A. They may increase energy consumption. B. They could make cities less attractive.
C. They might threaten personal privacy. D. They will lead to higher taxes.
15. What is the experts’ view on the key to a successful smart city?
A. Investing in the latest technology is crucial. B. The focus should always be on human needs.
C. Private companies should lead the development. D. It is mainly a problem of technical engineering.

45. 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。
Maya had always been fascinated by the old bookstore on Elm Street. Its dusty windows were filled with piles of books that seemed to hold centuries of stories. However, she had never dared to go inside. Maya, at fifteen, was painfully shy. The thought of talking to the store owner, an elderly man with a stern face often seen through the window, filled her with anxiety.
Her curiosity finally outweighed her fear one rainy Saturday afternoon. With her heart pounding, she pushed the heavy wooden door open. A bell chimed softly. The inside was even more wonderful than she had imagined — floor-to-ceiling shelves, the rich smell of old paper, and a sense of deep quiet. The old man, Mr. Davies, glanced up from his desk but said nothing, returning to his book.
Maya wandered through the aisles, her fingers lightly brushing the spines of the books. She lost track of time until she found herself in a corner dedicated to mythology. There, on a high shelf, was a leather-bound book titled The Lost Tales of the Star Weaver. She had read about it online — a rare collection of folktales believed to be almost impossible to find. Her eyes widened. She stood on her tiptoes, stretching her arm, but the book was just out of reach.
“Need a hand?” a voice said behind her. Maya jumped. It was Mr. Davies. He was holding a small stepping stool. His eyes, she noticed for the first time, were not stern but kind and curious behind his glasses.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Maya nodded shyly, and Mr. Davies placed the stool for her. She carefully climbed up and retrieved the precious book. As she handed it to him to examine, he smiled. “A fine choice,” he said in a soft voice. “This edition is quite special. Not many appreciate these old tales anymore.” Encouraged by his kindness, Maya found herself whispering, “I’ve read about it. I love myths.” To her surprise, Mr. Davies invited her to a cluttered but cozy reading nook by a window. He made them both a cup of tea, and as the rain tapped against the windowpane, he began to tell her about the book’s history and even pointed out a faint, handwritten note on the first page from a previous owner.
That rainy afternoon visit became the first of many. Every Saturday, Maya would return to the bookstore. Mr. Davies, far from being stern, was a treasure trove of knowledge. He recommended books tailored to her interests, from epic fantasies to historical novels. He taught her how to identify first editions and care for old books. Gradually, Maya’s shyness melted away in the warm, book-filled atmosphere. She even started helping Mr. Davies organize sections of the store. The dusty old bookstore on Elm Street transformed from a place of intimidation into her personal sanctuary, all thanks to a shared love for stories that began with a single book just out of reach.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了玛雅一直对埃尔姆街上的那家旧书店充满好奇,却性格内向不敢进去,一天鼓起勇气进入书店看书,偶然发现了一套罕见的民间故事集,但是这套书籍置于较高的书架,就在这时,收到了戴维斯先生的帮助。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“玛雅羞涩地点了点头,戴维斯先生便为她搬来了凳子。”可知,第一段可描写戴维斯先生为玛雅取下了故事集,两个人进行交谈。
②由第二段首句内容“那个下雨天的拜访成了众多拜访中的第一次。”可知,第二段可描写此后玛雅经常拜访戴维斯先生的书店,并帮忙整理书籍。
