阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
About 6 months ago, I joined a gym. Every morning, there is one personal trainer there that works out at the same time that my little group does its workout. He does his “routine” with such a quiet determination that he makes it all look very easy. When I am tempted to quit, I watch him push himself to his limit, and I find myself motivated to work as hard and without complaint (抱怨).
A couple of weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups (引体向上). I went over and asked if I could have a try. He said yes, and as I struggled to pull myself up he stood there motivating me the whole time. I only managed two but I felt strong and smiled from ear to ear.
The next day when I was done my workout, I asked him to spot me again. Again, I did two. Again on day three and so on. I came to the gym at the end of the week, he was standing there just shaking his head. When I asked him what was up, he said he was impressed. He told me that when they are training firefighters, the men are required to do five chin-ups, and women are required to do one or two. He explained that most people can’t do them at all.
The moral of this story is that by taking a leap of faith and giving it a try, I was able to achieve it! I didn’t see it as a great accomplishment (成就), because I didn’t realize that it was difficult and it became my goal to get stronger. No one told me I couldn’t do it; in fact, I was encouraged to try. Had he told me initially how difficult it was, I more than likely would not have tried at all. Or I might have tried, but given it only half an effort. I applaud him for letting me believe that for me, it was not only a possibility, but that success was a realistic expectation.

A. Her determination to test her limits.
B. Her gym group’s encouragement.
C. The personal trainer’s consistent workout routine.
D. The feeling of strength after her workout.
2 What did the personal trainer do while the author was doing chin-ups?
A. He provided motivation and encouragement.
B. He stood by and watched her silently.

A. To compare the standard for their fitness levels.

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Every morning, there is one personal trainer there that works out at the same time that my little group does its workout. He does his “routine” with such a quiet determination that he makes it all look very easy. When I am tempted to quit, I watch him push himself to his limit, and I find myself motivated to work as hard and without complaint (抱怨).(每天清晨,总有一位私人教练与我们小组同步训练。他完成那些“常规动作”时带着一种沉默的坚毅,举重若轻的姿态。每当我萌生退意,看着他不断突破自我极限的身影,我便不由自主地重拾斗志,继续挥汗如雨却毫无怨言)”和第二段中“A couple of weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups (引体向上). I went over and asked if I could have a try.(几周前的一个清晨,我见他正在练习引体向上,便上前询问能否一试)”可知,是私人教练一贯的锻炼习惯激励了作者去尝试引体向上。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I went over and asked if I could have a try. He said yes, and as I struggled to pull myself up he stood there motivating me the whole time.(我走过去问能不能试一试。他答应了,当我努力把自己拉起来时,他一直站在那里激励我)”可知,当作者做引体向上时,私人教练一直在给予作者激励和鼓励。故选A项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The next day when I was done my workout, I asked him to spot me again. Again, I did two. Again on day three and so on. I came to the gym at the end of the week, he was standing there just shaking his head. When I asked him what was up, he said he was impressed. He told me that when they are training firefighters, the men are required to do five chin-ups, and women are required to do one or two. He explained that most people can’t do them at all.(次日训练结束后,我再次请他指导。依然只能完成两个。第三天依旧如此。周末来到健身房时,只见他站在那里摇头。询问缘由,他说被我震撼了。他告诉我,在训练消防员的时候,男性被要求做5个引体向上,女性被要求做1到2个。他解释说,大多数人根本做不到)”可知,私人教练提到消防员的练习要求是为了激励作者继续练习。故选D项。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合最后一段中“The moral of this story is that by taking a leap of faith and giving it a try, I was able to achieve it! (这个故事的寓意是,通过满怀信心地尝试,我成功了!)”和“I applaud him for letting me believe that for me, it was not only a possibility, but that success was a realistic expectation.(我由衷钦佩他让我相信,这不仅是我可以企及的目标,更是触手可及的成就)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者在健身房受到私人教练的激励,尝试做引体向上并最终取得进步的故事,作者通过自己的经历想要传达的是自我信念是通往成功的道路。故选C项。
B
Forgetting things is a blessing, believe it or not. For proof, imagine a world where every detail you ever came across was carved indelibly in your mind. Every conversation you regret, every rejection you’ve ever felt, every time you stepped out with your zipper undone stands as clearly in your mind as what you had for breakfast last week as well as the moments that bring you the greatest joy. That is a world of utter chaos and suffering.
We don’t need to stick to just our armchair-philosophizing, however. Thanks to the wonderful combinatory magic genetics pulls off at each birth, we’ve had a few individuals on Earth who are unable to forget anything. Solomon Shereshevsky, for instance, could memorize lists of arbitrary (任意的) numbers, words, and nonsense syllables with perfect recall, even decades later. At first glance, this sounds like a superpower. But Shereshevsky described it as exhausting, distracting, and emotionally unbearable.
What most miss about forgetting is that it is not a design flaw (缺陷). It’s a feature. In fact, the ability to forget is fundamental to learning. It’s what gives us focus, highlights the signal through the noise, and lets the brain determine what matters most given the context we are in.
Research suggests that forgetting is an active process involving brain regions like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which help us manage the inflow and outflow of information. Forgetting is not our memory failing on us as much as it is our memory being better used.
And here is where we meet the concept of the forgetting curve (曲线). First described by Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century, the forgetting curve tracks how quickly we lose information over time without reinforcement (巩固). Within hours of learning something new, we begin to forget it. Rapidly at first, then more slowly over time. The key insight of those who have followed Ebbinghaus is that this curve is not fixed. On the contrary, it’s something we can reshape, a feature we can tune ourselves.
5. What does the underlined word “indelibly” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Permanently. B. Violently. C. Chaotically. D. Effortlessly.
6. What did Shereshevsky think of his ability?
A. A design flaw. B. A real blessing. C. A mental burden. D. A rare talent.
7. How does forgetting contribute to learning?
A It prevents the flow of information.
B. It pushes people to review regularly.
C. It activates brain regions responsible for learning.
D. It allows the brain to prioritize important information.
8. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph?
A. Keep learning new things. B. Intervene in the forgetting process.
C. Accept forgetting as a natural part of life. D. Explore a fixed pattern of the forgetting curve.
【答案】5. A 6. C 7. D 8. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,作者通过科学事实、案例分析和逻辑推理,论证了“遗忘是大脑的重要功能”这一观点,并鼓励读者正确看待遗忘现象并对其加以利用。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Forgetting things is a blessing, believe it or not.(别不信,遗忘事物其实是一种福气)”提到能够遗忘是一件幸事,划线词所在句子以及下文是提供支撑性证据,论证“遗忘是一件幸事”这一观点;结合下文“Every conversation you regret, every rejection you’ve ever felt, every time you stepped out with your zipper undone stands as clearly in your mind as what you had for breakfast last week as well as the moments that bring you the greatest joy. That is a world of utter chaos and suffering.(每一次让你懊悔的交谈,每一次你所经历的被拒绝的时刻,每一次你未系好拉链就出门的举动,都清晰地印刻在你的脑海中,就如同你上周早餐吃了什么一样,也包括那些给你带来最大快乐的时刻。那是一个充满混乱与痛苦的世界)”可知,此处是作者让读者想象一个所有遇到的细节都无法遗忘的世界、一切都永远被刻在脑海里的世界,那将是充满混乱和痛苦的世界。故划线词indelibly意思是“永久地”。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“At first glance, this sounds like a superpower. But Shereshevsky described it as exhausting, distracting, and emotionally unbearable.(乍一看,这听起来像是某种超能力。但舍雷舍夫斯基却称其令人精疲力竭、分心不已,而且情绪上难以承受)”可知,谢雷舍夫斯基认为他的能力是一种精神负担。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s what gives us focus, highlights the signal through the noise, and lets the brain determine what matters most given the context we are in.(正是它让我们能够集中注意力,帮助我们从杂乱的信息中提取出关键信息,并让大脑根据我们所处的环境来确定哪些才是最重要的)”可知,遗忘能让大脑优先处理重要的信息。故选D项。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“On the contrary, it’s something we can reshape, a feature we can tune ourselves.(相反,这并非是无法改变的固定状态,而是我们能够加以调整、能够自行塑造的特性)”可知,作者建议读者参与遗忘过程。故选B项。
C
During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior.”
In one study Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.”
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said.
9. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?
A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool.
10. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The classification of the popular.
B. The characteristics of adolescents.
C. The importance of interpersonal skills.
D. The causes of dishonorable behavior.
11. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find about the most liked kids?
A. They appeared to be aggressive.
B. They tended to be more adaptable.
C. They enjoyed the highest status.
D. They performed well academically.
12. What is the best title for the text?
A. Be Nice—You Won’t Finish Last
B. The Higher the Status, the Better
C. Be the Best—You Can Make It
D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness
【答案】9. C 10. A 11. B 12. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了受欢迎度对青少年的影响。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段During the rosy years of elementary school, I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status.可知,在美好的小学时光里,作者喜欢分享她的娃娃和笑话,由此推断出,作者在早年的小学时期是一个慷慨的女孩。A. Unkind不友善的;B. Lonely寂寞的;C. Generous慷慨的;D. Cool冷静的。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers.(临床心理学教授Mitch Prinstein将受欢迎的人分为两类:讨人喜欢的人和追求地位的人。)是段落主题句,本段内容分别对the likable 和the status seekers做了解释,所以本段主要介绍了两种受欢迎的分类,故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment (它清楚地表明,讨人喜欢可以促使健全的调整)推断出,心理学教授Mitch Prinstein的研究表明,讨人喜欢的孩子适应性更强,故选B。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。通过阅读全文内容,尤其是最后一段,可知这篇文章主要讲了受欢迎度对青少年的影响,讨人喜欢对青少年成长都有深远的有益影响。与选项A“友善一点——你将不会排在最后(你不会完蛋/你会笑到最后)”一致,故选A。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Temperatures are rising, and so are mental health risks
Climate change is increasing heat waves, posing growing threats to health. Extreme heat is becoming a severe challenge across the U.S. and globally, with forecasts suggesting one of the next five years could be the hottest on record. ___13___ Even survivors may face long-term consequences.
How does extreme heat affect the brain? ___14___ Dehydration (脱水) in high temperatures thickens blood, making it hard for the heart to supply enough oxygen to the brain. The brain, which uses 20% of the body’s energy, requires efficient heat release. In hot, damp conditions, sweating fails to cool the body, potentially causing heat exhaustion or a sudden serious illness, which can lead to nerve-related problems.
Extreme heat also worsens mental health: conditions like depression and anxiety become worse. ___15___ Furthermore, the medicines used to treat the mental illness and sleeplessness also appear to increase mental health weakness to heat.
___16___ Those with existing mental health disorders are weakest. Older adults face accelerated serious mental illness that affects memory. Homeless individuals and outdoor workers such as farmers are particularly at risk, as they often lack access to cooling resources.
Action is urgent. Most heat health plans ignore mental health. ___17___ These can include public awareness campaigns, such as warning people about the mental health risk of consuming alcohol or other drugs during heat waves. Other interventions include establishing community cooling shelters for heat emergencies and increasing monitoring of mental health patients during heat waves. Only through comprehensive strategies can we reduce the mental health impacts of extreme heat.
A. Who is most at risk?
B. The human body works best when at 37℃.
C. How to identify those in danger during heat waves?
D. It disturbs sleep, which further harms one’s ability to think.
E. So mental health steps must be added to these heat response plans.
F. Heat waves cause 1,300 U. S. deaths yearly from heat-related issues.
G. Research is needed to better understand health outcomes of a warmer world.
【答案】13. F 14. B 15. D 16. A 17. E

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了香港科学家利用新技术制作赤陶土砖助力珊瑚礁重新生长的情况。
【33题详解】
考查副词。句意:由于西贡双岛地区的污染和水上交通的增加,珊瑚数量急剧减少。根据空前动词declined可知,空处需用副词作状语修饰动词;heavy的副词为heavily“严重地,急剧地”。故填heavily。
【34题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在香港大学(HKU)的科学家和建筑师为农业、渔业及保育署(AFCD)指定的一个修复项目中,他们开发了大型赤陶土砖,为新的珊瑚生长和许多以珊瑚为家的物种提供有吸引力的栖息地。本句已有谓语动词have developed,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;名词project与动词appoint“任命,指定”之间是被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词作后置定语修饰名词project。故填appointed。
【35题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。空处需用关系词引导定语从句,先行词是species,指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以空处需用关系代词which/that引导定语从句。故填which/that。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些直径约两英尺的128块六边形瓷砖形成了一个相互连接的网格,覆盖了三个不同地点的430平方英尺的海底。本句已有谓语动词form,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词grid,名词grid与动词cover之间是主动关系,所以空处需用现在分词作后置定语修饰名词grid。故填covering。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:每块砖都有一个褶皱结构,看起来像人脑,为珊瑚扎根提供了许多凹陷处。空处为that引导的定语从句的谓语动词;根据主句谓语动词has可知,空处定语从句的谓语动词需用一般现在时态,先行词是structure,单数,所以空处谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式looks“看起来”。故填looks。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。provide sth. for sb./sth. to do sth.为固定结构,意为“为……提供某物供其做某事”,此处用动词不定式,take root表示“扎根”。故填to take。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些瓷砖是用赤陶粘土3D打印而成,赤陶粘土是一种古老的多孔烧制粘土陶器,然后在极高的温度下烧制。空处需用冠词表示泛指“一种古老的形式”,ancient是以元音音素开头的单词,所以空处需用不定冠词an。故填an。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:这种古老材料和现代技术的结合,使得瓷砖具有独特的“弯曲”设计和多孔的纹理表面。根据空格前的The和空格后的of可知,空处需用名词作主语,combine的名词为combination“结合”,此处特指“这种结合”,所以空处名词需用单数。故填combination。
【41题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:科学家们认为,这两个因素将使瓷砖成为珊瑚重新生长的理想场所,赤陶瓷砖是一种很有前途的环保方法,有助于恢复和重新安置对海洋生态至关重要的珊瑚礁。根据空后谓语动词believe可知,空处需用名词复数作主语;scientist“科学家”,其复数为scientists,句首首字母需大写。故填Scientists。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:科学家们认为,这两个因素将使瓷砖成为珊瑚重新生长的理想场所,赤陶瓷砖是一种很有前途的环保方法,有助于恢复和重新安置对海洋生态至关重要的珊瑚礁。be crucial to/for...“对……是至关重要的”,固定搭配。故填to/for。

45. 一阵喜悦涌上他的心头。(无灵主语句;well up)(汉译英)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】A flood of joy/pleasure welled up in him.

2026届上学期规范化考试英语试卷(一)(A卷)
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分42.5分)
第一节(共12小题:每小题2.5分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
About 6 months ago, I joined a gym. Every morning, there is one personal trainer there that works out at the same time that my little group does its workout. He does his “routine” with such a quiet determination that he makes it all look very easy. When I am tempted to quit, I watch him push himself to his limit, and I find myself motivated to work as hard and without complaint (抱怨).
A couple of weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups (引体向上). I went over and asked if I could have a try. He said yes, and as I struggled to pull myself up he stood there motivating me the whole time. I only managed two but I felt strong and smiled from ear to ear.
The next day when I was done my workout, I asked him to spot me again. Again, I did two. Again on day three and so on. I came to the gym at the end of the week, he was standing there just shaking his head. When I asked him what was up, he said he was impressed. He told me that when they are training firefighters, the men are required to do five chin-ups, and women are required to do one or two. He explained that most people can’t do them at all.
The moral of this story is that by taking a leap of faith and giving it a try, I was able to achieve it! I didn’t see it as a great accomplishment (成就), because I didn’t realize that it was difficult and it became my goal to get stronger. No one told me I couldn’t do it; in fact, I was encouraged to try. Had he told me initially how difficult it was, I more than likely would not have tried at all. Or I might have tried, but given it only half an effort. I applaud him for letting me believe that for me, it was not only a possibility, but that success was a realistic expectation.
1. What inspired the author to attempt chin-ups?
A. Her determination to test her limits.
B. Her gym group’s encouragement.
C. The personal trainer’s consistent workout routine.
D. The feeling of strength after her workout.
2. What did the personal trainer do while the author was doing chin-ups?
A. He provided motivation and encouragement.
B. He stood by and watched her silently.
C. He demonstrated useful techniques.
D. He offered constructive tips for improvement.
3. Why did the personal trainer mention firefighters?
A. To compare the standard for their fitness levels.
B. To highlight their dedication to training.
C. To emphasize the importance of training.
D. To motivate the author to continue practicing.
4. What does the author want to convey?
A. Setting realistic goals is beneficial.
B. It’s rewarding to try new things.
C. Self-belief is a path to success.
D. Regular exercise helps build self-confidence.
B
Forgetting things is a blessing, believe it or not. For proof, imagine a world where every detail you ever came across was carved indelibly in your mind. Every conversation you regret, every rejection you’ve ever felt, every time you stepped out with your zipper undone stands as clearly in your mind as what you had for breakfast last week as well as the moments that bring you the greatest joy. That is a world of utter chaos and suffering.
We don’t need to stick to just our armchair-philosophizing, however. Thanks to the wonderful combinatory magic genetics pulls off at each birth, we’ve had a few individuals on Earth who are unable to forget anything. Solomon Shereshevsky, for instance, could memorize lists of arbitrary (任意) numbers, words, and nonsense syllables with perfect recall, even decades later. At first glance, this sounds like a superpower. But Shereshevsky described it as exhausting, distracting, and emotionally unbearable.
What most miss about forgetting is that it is not a design flaw (缺陷). It’s a feature. In fact, the ability to forget is fundamental to learning. It’s what gives us focus, highlights the signal through the noise, and lets the brain determine what matters most given the context we are in.
Research suggests that forgetting is an active process involving brain regions like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which help us manage the inflow and outflow of information. Forgetting is not our memory failing on us as much as it is our memory being better used.
And here is where we meet the concept of the forgetting curve (曲线). First described by Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century, the forgetting curve tracks how quickly we lose information over time without reinforcement (巩固). Within hours of learning something new, we begin to forget it. Rapidly at first, then more slowly over time. The key insight of those who have followed Ebbinghaus is that this curve is not fixed. On the contrary, it’s something we can reshape, a feature we can tune ourselves.
5. What does the underlined word “indelibly” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Permanently. B. Violently. C. Chaotically. D. Effortlessly.
6. What did Shereshevsky think of his ability?
A. A design flaw. B. A real blessing. C. A mental burden. D. A rare talent.
7 How does forgetting contribute to learning?
A. It prevents the flow of information.
B. It pushes people to review regularly.
C. It activates brain regions responsible for learning.
D. It allows the brain to prioritize important information.
8. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph?
A. Keep learning new things. B. Intervene in the forgetting process.
C. Accept forgetting as a natural part of life. D. Explore a fixed pattern of the forgetting curve.
C
During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior.”
In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.”
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said.
9. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?
A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool.
10. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The classification of the popular.
B. The characteristics of adolescents.
C The importance of interpersonal skills.
D The causes of dishonorable behavior.
11. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find about the most liked kids?
A. They appeared to be aggressive.
B. They tended to be more adaptable.
C. They enjoyed the highest status.
D. They performed well academically.
12. What is the best title for the text?
A. Be Nice—You Won’t Finish Last
B. The Higher the Status, the Better
C. Be the Best—You Can Make It
D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Temperatures are rising, and so are mental health risks
Climate change is increasing heat waves, posing growing threats to health. Extreme heat is becoming a severe challenge across the U.S. and globally, with forecasts suggesting one of the next five years could be the hottest on record. ___13___ Even survivors may face long-term consequences.
How does extreme heat affect the brain? ___14___ Dehydration (脱水) in high temperatures thickens blood, making it hard for the heart to supply enough oxygen to the brain. The brain, which uses 20% of the body’s energy, requires efficient heat release. In hot, damp conditions, sweating fails to cool the body, potentially causing heat exhaustion or a sudden serious illness, which can lead to nerve-related problems.
Extreme heat also worsens mental health: conditions like depression and anxiety become worse. ___15___ Furthermore, the medicines used to treat the mental illness and sleeplessness also appear to increase mental health weakness to heat.
___16___ Those with existing mental health disorders are weakest. Older adults face accelerated serious mental illness that affects memory. Homeless individuals and outdoor workers such as farmers are particularly at risk, as they often lack access to cooling resources.
Action is urgent. Most heat health plans ignore mental health. ___17___ These can include public awareness campaigns, such as warning people about the mental health risk of consuming alcohol or other drugs during heat waves. Other interventions include establishing community cooling shelters for heat emergencies and increasing monitoring of mental health patients during heat waves. Only through comprehensive strategies can we reduce the mental health impacts of extreme heat.
A. Who is most at risk?
B. The human body works best when at 37℃.
C. How to identify those in danger during heat waves?
D. It disturbs sleep, which further harms one’s ability to think.
E. So mental health steps must be added to these heat response plans.
F. Heat waves cause 1,300 U. S. deaths yearly from heat-related issues.
G. Research is needed to better understand health outcomes of a warmer world.
