B
I find sharing my barn — a room for keeping my animals — with swallows (燕) a stressful yet favored experience. Each time I enter the barn, swallows scream out, forcing me to turn sideways wildly in panic to avoid collisions (碰撞). These overreactions risk pulled muscles, injured ankles, or hit heads.
I often wonder: if swallows can fly to and from South Africa, finding last year’s nests, why can’t they adapt to my barn-entering routine? I insist I’ve never done anything to threaten them, and quiet coexistence would benefit us all.
I prefer swallows to fly out on my entry. Their flying about in my vision disturbs me. This year, a pair returned early, on March 30th, observing their house during lambing—much to the mother sheep’s annoyance, as they put up with frequent fly-pasts mid-birth.
Swallows seek unsafe nesting spots. One year, they nested sensibly on a disused wooden support. But for their second nest, they built on a flat, unsupported wall, which I thought “unengineered”. Last year, the situation worsened. Instead of the typical cup-shaped mud nest, they constructed a flatter, straw-cobbled structure on the ledge (壁架) above an inner doorway. This design failed to contain the chickens as a cup would, leaving them in constant danger of falling out and then suffering an eight-foot drop onto the concrete.
This year, I anxiously awaited the nest’s location. Hoping they’d pick the wooden support, I was worried when they chose the ledge. Now, entering the barn brings “double danger”: first, ducking and diving to avoid head-on swallow collisions; second, nervously walking under the nest, praying the chickens stay put and don’t fall to the floor.
Sharing the barn with swallows is clearly an experience to value. But honestly, I doubt they grasp how totally nervous it feels for me, a human, going through these daily interactions.
4. What is the author’s main problem when entering the barn?
A. Swallows’ wild attack. B. Swallows’ loud screams.
C. Cleaning up swallow droppings. D. Risking injury while avoiding swallows.
5. What can be inferred about the swallows’ nesting choices?
A. They never reuse old nests. B. They sometimes pick risky locations.
C. They prefer building nests near sheep. D. They can easily adapt to human routines.
6. Why was the author worried this year?
A. The chickens in the nest grew too fast. B. There were more swallows than before.
C. Swallows chose an unsafe nesting place again. D. The mother sheep couldn’t tolerate the swallows.
7. What is the author’s overall attitude towards swallows?
A. Complicated. B. Doubtful. C. Annoyed. D. Ignorant.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者与燕子共处时,虽因燕子筑巢不安全及躲避它们而倍感压力,却又觉得这是值得珍惜的复杂经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Each time I enter the barn, swallows scream out, forcing me to turn sideways wildly in panic to avoid collisions (碰撞). These overreactions risk pulled muscles, injured ankles, or hit heads.(每次我走进谷仓,燕子都会尖叫着飞出来,吓得我慌乱地拼命侧身躲避,生怕撞上它们。这种过度反应可能会让我拉伤肌肉、扭伤脚踝,或者撞到脑袋。)”可知,作者每次进入畜棚时为躲避燕子有受伤风险。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But for their second nest, they built on a flat, unsupported wall, which I thought “unengineered”.(然而,它们搭建第二个鸟巢时,却选在了一面平坦且没有支撑的墙上,我觉得这“毫无工程考量(根本不符合建筑原理)”。)”和“Instead of the typical cup-shaped mud nest, they constructed a flatter, straw-cobbled structure on the ledge (壁架) above an inner doorway.(它们没有搭建常见的杯状泥巢,而是在内门上方的壁架上,用稻草搭建了一个较为扁平的结构。)”可知,燕子有时会选择危险的筑巢地点。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Hoping they’d pick the wooden support, I was worried when they chose the ledge.(我原本希望它们会选择木制支架筑巢,所以当它们选了壁架时,我不禁担心起来。)”以及上文对壁架作为筑巢地点不安全的描述可知,作者担心是因为今年燕子又选择了不安全的地方筑巢。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I find sharing my barn — a room for keeping my animals — with swallows (燕) a stressful yet favored experience.(我发现,与燕子共享我的谷仓(一个用来饲养牲畜的房间),这虽让我倍感压力,却也是我乐在其中的一种体验。)”和最后一段“Sharing the barn with swallows is clearly an experience to value. But honestly, I doubt they grasp how totally nervous it feels for me, a human, going through these daily interactions.(显然,与燕子共处谷仓是一段值得珍视的经历。但说实话,我怀疑它们根本无法理解,作为人类的我,在每日与它们打交道时内心是多么紧张。)”可知,作者对燕子是既觉得困扰又珍惜的矛盾心态。“Complicated”能精准概括这种复杂情感。故选A。
C
The amount of spent lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries that need handling is expected to increase from an estimate of 900,000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report released by the United Nations Development Program last September.
With consumer markets and waste piles both growing rapidly, Yue Gao, a chemist at Fudan University in Shanghai, and his group anticipated a rising demand for longer-life lithium-ion batteries. An electric vehicle (EV) battery usually reaches the end of its lifetime, or when its capacity drops below 80 percent of its original level, after about eight to 10 years. The battery accounts for around 40 percent of the cost of the entire vehicle.
They used an artificial intelligence model trained on the rules of chemistry. They fed it a database of electrochemical reactions and had it look for molecules (分子) that would meet their requirements, such as mixing well in an electrolyte solution and being relatively cheap to produce. The model recommended three candidates, and the team identified one of them, a salt called LiSO2CF3, as ideal.
The researchers tested this lithium-ion salt by mixing it in an electrolyte solution, which allows ions to pass between a cell’s positive and negative terminals (端子). Gao likens this to giving a human patient an Ⅳ (输液). “If we can give a shot to a sick person to help them recover,” he says, “why can’t we have a magic medicine for dead batteries, too?”
Gao and his colleagues found that the chemical mixture could significantly prolong the lifespan of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell. An LFP battery that powers an EV can typically be charged and then discharged about 2,000 times before it is considered “dead” (when its capacity is below the 80 percent mark). By adding the electrolyte whenever the battery neared that point, the team was able to restore most of the cell’s capacity each time — and it carried on working almost as well as a new battery. By the end of the experiment, the cell regained 96 percent capacity after nearly 12,000 charge-discharge cycles.
8. What motivated the Gao group to develop the new battery technology?
A. The limited supply of lithium resources.
B. The high cost of recycling used batteries.
C. The small capacity of current EV batteries.
D. The increasing demand for longer-lasting batteries.
9. Why did the researchers use an artificial intelligence model?
A. To speed up the battery charging process.
B. To calculate the cost of producing new batteries.
C. To select suitable molecules for battery improvement.
D. To analyze the environmental impact of battery waste.
10. What does the underlined word “likens” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Compares. B. removes. C. Attaches. D. Improves.
11. What change will the technology probably bring about?
A. Updated EV batteries lasting forever. B. Cost decrease in producing LiSO2CF3.
C. Less frequency of EV battery replacement. D. Traditional LFP batteries off the market.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了复旦大学高越团队针对锂离子电池寿命问题,利用人工智能技术研发新型电解质混合物,以延长电池使用寿命的相关研究及成果。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With consumer markets and waste piles both growing rapidly, Yue Gao, a chemist at Fudan University in Shanghai, and his group anticipated a rising demand for longer-life lithium-ion batteries.(随着消费市场和废弃物堆积量都在快速增长,上海复旦大学的化学家高越及其团队预测,对使用寿命更长的锂离子电池的需求将会上升)”可知,对续航更久电池的需求日益增长,促使高越团队研发这项新电池技术。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They used an artificial intelligence model trained on the rules of chemistry. They fed it a database of electrochemical reactions and had it look for molecules (分子) that would meet their requirements.(他们使用了一个基于化学规则训练的人工智能模型,向其输入了一个电化学反应数据库,让它寻找符合要求的分子)”可知,研究人员使用人工智能模型是为了筛选出适合改进电池的分子。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Gao likens this to giving a human patient an Ⅳ (输液). “If we can give a shot to a sick person to help them recover,” he says, “why can’t we have a magic medicine for dead batteries, too?”(高将此likens给病人输液。他说:“如果我们能给病人打针帮助他们康复,为什么不能给报废的电池也来一剂‘灵丹妙药’呢?”)”可知,高越将“把电解质混合物加入电解液”的行为与“给病人输液”进行类比,由此猜测likens意为“比较、比作”,与compare同义。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“By adding the electrolyte whenever the battery neared that point, the team was able to restore most of the cell’s capacity each time — and it carried on working almost as well as a new battery.(每当电池接近那个临界点时添加这种电解质,团队每次都能恢复电池的大部分容量,而且电池继续工作的状态几乎和新电池一样)”可推断,这项技术可能会减少电动汽车电池的更换频率。故选C项。
D
In 2014, Harvard and the University of Virginia researchers had people sit alone with thoughts for 15 minutes, with a painful shock button as the only distraction (分心的事). Nearly half pressed it, even those who’d said they’d pay to avoid shocks. This showed people often prefer doing over thinking—minds may wander to unwanted places otherwise.
Today, smartphones are modern “shock buttons”. They break up boredom instantly, offering escape in quiet or anxious moments. While not always bad (too much thinking is unhealthy), they’ve made avoiding unwanted mind-wandering easy. Most use phones to fill stillness, relying on similar screen-based distractions.
Smartphones also push “productivity” pressure. Commuters (通勤者) once stared out windows or read; now, they catch up on emails to avoid guilt. But “doing nothing” isn’t a waste, because minds work hard then. What happens to half-formed thoughts when we instantly pull out phones?
Psychologists see boredom as useful. Like hunger, it signals a need for change. Erin Westgate says we get bored if tasks don’t engage or seem meaningless. Sudoku games can absorb without meaning; a repeated Peppa Pig story might feel meaningful. True boredom, say watching paint dry, is unstimulating and rare.
Boredom should promote engaging and meaningful acts. Ignore it, and lasting boredom follows—linked to depression and anxiety. Since smartphones rose, lasting boredom has grown. Studies show students in China and the US report more boredom post-2010. We use phones to relieve boredom, but it backfires: checking socials worsens it. Bored workers reach for phones more, and then feel emptier.
Digital devices grab attention but lack depth. We plan five-minute checks, but get lost in unimportant details for hours. Americans spend 4+ hours daily on phones, 7+ online—wasting 17 adult years. Even tech lovers know this isn’t living.
Phone’s surface stimulation misses hard questions: “Why feel this?” “What’s needed?” When bored, resist instant relief. Accepting boredom briefly can reduce it. Ask yourself: entertainment, or purpose-connecting adventure, trying new things? It might start a more stimulating, meaningful, and creative life.
12. What did Harvard and the University of Virginia experiment reveal?
A. People tend to choose action over thinking.
B. People prefer being alone with their thoughts.
C. Most participants preferred to avoid electric shocks.
D Half of the participants paid to skip the experiment.
13. What does the author illustrate by mentioning “Sudoku games” and “Peppa Pig story”?
A Meaningful tasks never cause boredom.
B. Different activities relieve boredom differently.
C. Some activities are both engaging and meaningful.
D. Boredom results from lack of engagement or meaning.
14. What is the possible result of using smartphones to relieve boredom?
A. Short-term peace. B. Focused attention.
C. Long-term boredom. D. Failing mental health.
15. Which of the following serves as the best title for the text?
A. Phones: A cure for Boredom, Not a Quick Fix B. Accept Boredom Instead of Phone Distractions
C. Boredom: A Signal, Not Something to Flee D. Escape Boredom Wisely, Not with Phones
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出智能手机成为人们逃避无聊的工具,虽能暂时缓解却加剧了长期的无聊感;强调无聊是寻求改变的信号,呼吁人们摆脱即时分心,接纳无聊以追求更有意义、更具创造性的生活。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Nearly half pressed it, even those who’d said they’d pay to avoid shocks. This showed people often prefer doing over thinking—minds may wander to unwanted places otherwise.(近半数人按下了按钮,甚至包括那些曾表示愿意花钱来避免遭受电击的人。这表明,人们往往更倾向于付诸行动而非单纯思考——否则,思绪可能会飘向不愿面对的境地。)”可知,人们倾向于用行动(按电击按钮)而非独处思考来度过时间。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Erin Westgate says we get bored if tasks don’t engage or seem meaningless. Sudoku games can absorb without meaning; a repeated Peppa Pig story might feel meaningful. True boredom, say watching paint dry, is unstimulating and rare.(Erin Westgate表示,若任务无法吸引我们投入其中,或是显得毫无意义,我们便会感到无聊。数独游戏虽无实际意义却能让人沉浸其中;而反复听《小猪佩奇》的故事或许会让人觉得富有意义。真正的无聊,比如看着油漆慢慢变干,既缺乏刺激性又极为罕见。)”可知,作者通过提及“数独游戏”和“佩奇故事”想要说明无聊是由于缺乏参与或意义所致。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Ignore it, and lasting boredom follows—linked to depression and anxiety.(若对其置之不理,便会陷入持久的无聊状态——而这种状态与抑郁和焦虑紧密相关。)”和“We use phones to relieve boredom, but it backfires: checking socials worsens it.(我们用手机来缓解无聊,结果却适得其反:刷社交媒体反而让无聊感加剧。)”可知,用手机缓解无聊反而会加剧长期的无聊感。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“When bored, resist instant relief. Accepting boredom briefly can reduce it. Ask yourself: entertainment, or purpose-connecting adventure, trying new things? It might start a more stimulating, meaningful, and creative life.(感到无聊时,切勿急于寻求即时解脱。短暂地接纳无聊,反而能减轻这种感受。问问自己:是想要单纯的娱乐消遣,还是渴望一场与目标相连的冒险、尝试新事物?这或许能开启一段更富刺激性、更有意义且更具创造力的生活。)”可知,文章核心是呼吁人们摆脱手机对无聊的即时逃避,接纳无聊以追求更有意义的生活。B选项“Accept Boredom Instead of Phone Distractions(接受无聊感,而非手机带来的干扰)”。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Summer often brings more outdoor time, school breaks, and a laid-back atmosphere for many of us. ____16____. Here are some scientifically supported tips on preventing and treating heatstroke.
As reported by our climate team before, from June to August, warmer-than-average conditions are likely in much of the country. Many states are expected to see record-breaking temperatures. ____17____, constant exposure to heat can bring a variety of long-term health issues. Continuous exposure to heat over days and years can weaken the heart and kidneys, disturb sleep patterns, and pose challenges to mental health.
To safeguard yourself, allow your body time to adapt to the heat. According to Rebecca Stearns, the chief operating officer of the Corey Stringer Institute at the University of Connecticut, the initial 10 to 15 days of engaging in any new activity in a warm environment are crucial. ____18____.
Also, avoid outdoor exercise or other activities. If it can’t be avoided, taking breaks from the heat during heatwaves, even for a few hours, can offer protection. Although air conditioning and electric fans are helpful, they may not be accessible during power failure. In such cases, wetting the skin with water or visiting community-designated cooling centers can be effective alternatives.
____19____. Learn to identify the signs of heatstroke in yourself and others. Stearns pointed out that feeling unwell, weak, or confused are all “red flags”. Other signs to watch for in yourself and others include walking unsteadily, collapsing, or having difficulty coordinating (协调) movements.
Experts recommend immediate cooling if heatstroke is suspected, even before a full diagnosis. ____20____. Cold water immersion (浸没), where your entire body is put in iced water, is also a primary treatment method for heatstroke.
A. Some people intend to have a cool summer
B. It’s vital to be aware of the warning signs in people
C. In this period, activities should be carried out gradually
D. Because keeping drinking and locking water is essential
E. However, it also brings extreme heat and seasonal depression
F. You can apply ice wrapped in towels to areas like the neck or forehead
G. While extreme heat’s immediate threat to human health draws much attention
【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了夏季高温可能带来的健康风险,并从身体适应、避免高温活动、识别中暑症状及紧急降温等方面,给出了科学的中暑预防和治疗建议。
【16题详解】
上文“Summer often brings more outdoor time, school breaks, and a laid-back atmosphere for many of us. (夏季对我们许多人而言,往往意味着更多的户外活动时间、学校假期以及轻松惬意的氛围。)”提到夏天带来户外活动、假期和轻松氛围,下文“Here are some scientifically supported tips on preventing and treating heatstroke. (以下是一些有科学依据的预防和治疗中暑的建议。)”转而讲预防和治疗中暑的科学建议,说明此处需转折引出高温问题。E项“However, it also brings extreme heat and seasonal depression( 然而,夏季也会带来极端高温和季节性抑郁。)”中“However”表转折,“extreme heat”直接衔接下文“heatstroke”,逻辑连贯。故选E。
【17题详解】
前句“Many states are expected to see record-breaking temperatures. (许多州预计将出现破纪录的高温。)”提到许多州将迎来破纪录高温,后句“constant exposure to heat can bring a variety of long-term health issues (长期暴露在高温下会引发多种长期健康问题)”强调持续暴露在高温中会带来长期的健康问题。G项“While extreme heat’s immediate threat to human health draws much attention (尽管极端高温对人类健康的直接威胁备受关注)”中“immediate threat”与下文“long-term health issues”形成对比,用“While”引出让步关系,符合上下文逻辑。故选G。
【18题详解】
本段核心建议是让身体有时间适应高温,前句“According to Rebecca Stearns, the chief operating officer of the Corey Stringer Institute at the University of Connecticut, the initial 10 to 15 days of engaging in any new activity in a warm environment are crucial. (康涅狄格大学科里·斯特林研究所的首席运营官丽贝卡·斯蒂恩斯表示,在温暖环境中进行任何新活动的最初10到15天至关重要。)”提到在温暖环境中开始新活动的前10至15天至关重要。C项“In this period, activities should be carried out gradually (在此期间,活动应循序渐进地开展。)”呼应上文“initial 10 to 15 days”,强调循序渐进,与适应高温的主题一致。故选C。
【19题详解】
下文“Learn to identify the signs of heatstroke in yourself and others. Stearns pointed out that feeling unwell, weak, or confused are all “red flags”. (学会识别自己和他人中暑的迹象也很重要。斯蒂恩斯指出,感到不适、虚弱或困惑都是“危险信号”。)”提到学会识别自己和他人中暑的症状,并列举“不适、虚弱、困惑”等“危险信号”。B项“It’s vital to be aware of the warning signs in people (留意人们身上的预警信号至关重要。)”中“warning signs”直接对应下文“signs”,引出症状识别的内容,因此符合语境,故选B。
【20题详解】
空前“Experts recommend immediate cooling if heatstroke is suspected, even before a full diagnosis. (专家建议,如果怀疑是中暑,即使尚未完全确诊,也应立即采取降温措施。)”讲怀疑中暑时立即降温,后句“Cold water immersion (浸没), where your entire body is put in iced water, is also a primary treatment method for heatstroke. (将全身浸入冰水中进行冷水浸泡,也是治疗中暑的主要方法之一。)”提到冷水浸泡是主要治疗方法。F项“You can apply ice wrapped in towels to areas like the neck or forehead (你可以用毛巾包裹冰块,敷在颈部或额头等部位)”提供了具体的降温措施,与上文“immediate cooling”呼应,且是冷水浸泡之外的补充方法。故选F。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
On a small, beautiful coastal island, Lily, a 12-year-old girl, shared her life with her loving family and Coco, a rescued monkey with a playful light in his eyes. Lily found Coco as an injured baby monkey two years ago and nursed him back to health. Since then, the two had been inseparable, exploring the island’s thick forests and sandy beaches together.
One seemingly ordinary morning, as the sun cast a warm glow over the island, Lily and Coco were playing near the shore. Suddenly, Coco’s playful manner disappeared. His fur (软毛) stood on end, and he let out sharp cries. The usually calm monkey started pulling at Lily’s shirt with an urgency she had never seen before, his eyes wide with fear as he pointed towards the sea.
Lily looked out and was shocked. The water was falling at an alarming rate, exposing the ocean floor and leaving fish flopping (扑腾) helplessly. Remembering the tsunami (海啸) warnings from school, she felt a cold feeling run down her body. Without wasting a second, she grabbed Coco and started running towards the village, her heart pounding in her chest. Coco swung from branch to branch above her, screaming loudly to catch the villagers’ attention. Their combined efforts finally woke the sleepy town, and people began rushing to higher ground.
As the massive waves crashed onto the island, Lily and her family crowded in a strong hilltop house. But after two days, their food and clean water supplies were almost gone. Everyone was weak and scared. Coco, who had been quietly observing, suddenly jumped out of the window and disappeared into the forest.
Hours passed, and Lily began to worry. She paced restlessly around the room, her mind filled with terrifying thoughts. What if Coco had gotten lost in the dense forest? Or what if he had encountered some wild animals? Each passing minute felt like a life, and her anxiety grew with every tick of the clock.
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。
Surprisingly, Coco returned, his fur dirty but his eyes determined.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, a rescue team arrived, surprised by their survival.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Surprisingly, Coco returned, his fur dirty but his eyes determined. He proudly dropped a pile of wild fruits at Lily’s feet and presented a small gourd (葫芦) filled with fresh water he had found in a hidden mountain stream. Over the next few days, the clever monkey made several more trips, risking his life to find food and water for the family. Lily noticed that Coco was growing weaker with each passing day. She carefully divided the small amount of food and water, making sure he ate his share. She would sit beside him, gently brushing his fur and whispering words of comfort.
Finally, a rescue team arrived, surprised by their survival. Lily clutched Coco tightly, tears streaming down her face. “He’s family,” she told the rescuers firmly, and they agreed to take Coco with them. Back on the mainland, as the islanders slowly rebuilt their homes, Lily and Coco’s story spread far and wide. Their extraordinary bond, strengthened in the face of disaster, became a powerful testament to the mutual support between humans and animals.

I find sharing my barn — a room for keeping my animals — with swallows (燕) a stressful yet favored experience. Each time I enter the barn, swallows scream out, forcing me to turn sideways wildly in panic to avoid collisions (碰撞). These overreactions risk pulled muscles, injured ankles, or hit heads.
I often wonder: if swallows can fly to and from South Africa, finding last year’s nests, why can’t they adapt to my barn-entering routine? I insist I’ve never done anything to threaten them, and quiet coexistence would benefit us all.
I prefer swallows to fly out on my entry. Their flying about in my vision disturbs me. This year, a pair returned early, on March 30th, observing their house during lambing—much to the mother sheep’s annoyance, as they put up with frequent fly-pasts mid-birth.
Swallows seek unsafe nesting spots. One year, they nested sensibly on a disused wooden support. But for their second nest, they built on a flat, unsupported wall, which I thought “unengineered”. Last year, the situation worsened. Instead of the typical cup-shaped mud nest, they constructed a flatter, straw-cobbled structure on the ledge (壁架) above an inner doorway. This design failed to contain the chickens as a cup would, leaving them in constant danger of falling out and then suffering an eight-foot drop onto the concrete.
This year, I anxiously awaited the nest’s location. Hoping they’d pick the wooden support, I was worried when they chose the ledge. Now, entering the barn brings “double danger”: first, ducking and diving to avoid head-on swallow collisions; second, nervously walking under the nest, praying the chickens stay put and don’t fall to the floor.
Sharing the barn with swallows is clearly an experience to value. But honestly, I doubt they grasp how totally nervous it feels for me, a human, going through these daily interactions.
4. What is the author’s main problem when entering the barn?
A. Swallows’ wild attack. B. Swallows’ loud screams.
C. Cleaning up swallow droppings. D. Risking injury while avoiding swallows.
5. What can be inferred about the swallows’ nesting choices?
A. They never reuse old nests. B. They sometimes pick risky locations.
C. They prefer building nests near sheep. D. They can easily adapt to human routines.
6. Why was the author worried this year?
A The chickens in the nest grew too fast. B. There were more swallows than before.
C. Swallows chose an unsafe nesting place again. D. The mother sheep couldn’t tolerate the swallows.
7. What is the author’s overall attitude towards swallows?
A. Complicated. B. Doubtful. C. Annoyed. D. Ignorant.
C
The amount of spent lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries that need handling is expected to increase from an estimate of 900000 metric tons this year to 20.5 million metric tons by 2040, according to a report released by the United Nations Development Program last September.
With consumer markets and waste piles both growing rapidly, Yue Gao, a chemist at Fudan University in Shanghai, and his group anticipated a rising demand for longer-life lithium-ion batteries. An electric vehicle (EV) battery usually reaches the end of its lifetime, or when its capacity drops below 80 percent of its original level, after about eight to 10 years. The battery accounts for around 40 percent of the cost of the entire vehicle.
They used an artificial intelligence model trained on the rules of chemistry. They fed it a database of electrochemical reactions and had it look for molecules (分子) that would meet their requirements, such as mixing well in an electrolyte solution and being relatively cheap to produce. The model recommended three candidates, and the team identified one of them, a salt called LiSO2CF3, as ideal.
The researchers tested this lithium-ion salt by mixing it in an electrolyte solution, which allows ions to pass between a cell’s positive and negative terminals (端子). Gao likens this to giving a human patient an Ⅳ (输液). “If we can give a shot to a sick person to help them recover,” he says, “why can’t we have a magic medicine for dead batteries, too?”
Gao and his colleagues found that the chemical mixture could significantly prolong the lifespan of a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cell. An LFP battery that powers an EV can typically be charged and then discharged about 2,000 times before it is considered “dead” (when its capacity is below the 80 percent mark). By adding the electrolyte whenever the battery neared that point, the team was able to restore most of the cell’s capacity each time — and it carried on working almost as well as a new battery. By the end of the experiment, the cell regained 96 percent capacity after nearly 12,000 charge-discharge cycles.
8. What motivated the Gao group to develop the new battery technology?
A. The limited supply of lithium resources.
B. The high cost of recycling used batteries.
C. The small capacity of current EV batteries.
D. The increasing demand for longer-lasting batteries.
9. Why did the researchers use an artificial intelligence model?
A. To speed up the battery charging process.
B. To calculate the cost of producing new batteries.
C. To select suitable molecules for battery improvement.
D. To analyze the environmental impact of battery waste.
10. What does the underlined word “likens” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Compares. B. removes. C. Attaches. D. Improves.
11. What change will the technology probably bring about?
A. Updated EV batteries lasting forever. B. Cost decrease in producing LiSO2CF3.
C. Less frequency of EV battery replacement. D. Traditional LFP batteries off the market.
D
In 2014, Harvard and the University of Virginia researchers had people sit alone with thoughts for 15 minutes, with a painful shock button as the only distraction (分心的事). Nearly half pressed it, even those who’d said they’d pay to avoid shocks. This showed people often prefer doing over thinking—minds may wander to unwanted places otherwise.
Today, smartphones are modern “shock buttons”. They break up boredom instantly, offering escape in quiet or anxious moments. While not always bad (too much thinking is unhealthy), they’ve made avoiding unwanted mind-wandering easy. Most use phones to fill stillness, relying on similar screen-based distractions.
Smartphones also push “productivity” pressure. Commuters (通勤者) once stared out windows or read; now, they catch up on emails to avoid guilt. But “doing nothing” isn’t a waste, because minds work hard then. What happens to half-formed thoughts when we instantly pull out phones?
Psychologists see boredom as useful. Like hunger, it signals a need for change. Erin Westgate says we get bored if tasks don’t engage or seem meaningless. Sudoku games can absorb without meaning; a repeated Peppa Pig story might feel meaningful. True boredom, say watching paint dry, is unstimulating and rare.
Boredom should promote engaging and meaningful acts. Ignore it, and lasting boredom follows—linked to depression and anxiety. Since smartphones rose, lasting boredom has grown. Studies show students in China and the US report more boredom post-2010. We use phones to relieve boredom, but it backfires: checking socials worsens it. Bored workers reach for phones more, and then feel emptier.
Digital devices grab attention but lack depth. We plan five-minute checks, but get lost in unimportant details for hours. Americans spend 4+ hours daily on phones, 7+ online—wasting 17 adult years. Even tech lovers know this isn’t living.
Phone’s surface stimulation misses hard questions: “Why feel this?” “What’s needed?” When bored, resist instant relief. Accepting boredom briefly can reduce it. Ask yourself: entertainment, or purpose-connecting adventure, trying new things? It might start a more stimulating, meaningful, and creative life.
12. What did Harvard and the University of Virginia experiment reveal?
A. People tend to choose action over thinking.
B. People prefer being alone with their thoughts.
C. Most participants preferred to avoid electric shocks.
D. Half of the participants paid to skip the experiment.
13. What does the author illustrate by mentioning “Sudoku games” and “Peppa Pig story”?
A. Meaningful tasks never cause boredom.
B. Different activities relieve boredom differently.
C. Some activities are both engaging and meaningful.
D. Boredom results from lack of engagement or meaning.
14. What is the possible result of using smartphones to relieve boredom?
A. Short-term peace. B. Focused attention.
C. Long-term boredom. D. Failing mental health.
15. Which of the following serves as the best title for the text?
A. Phones: A cure for Boredom, Not a Quick Fix B. Accept Boredom Instead of Phone Distractions
C. Boredom: A Signal, Not Something to Flee D. Escape Boredom Wisely, Not with Phones

Summer often brings more outdoor time, school breaks, and a laid-back atmosphere for many of us. ____16____. Here are some scientifically supported tips on preventing and treating heatstroke.
As reported by our climate team before, from June to August, warmer-than-average conditions are likely in much of the country. Many states are expected to see record-breaking temperatures. ____17____, constant exposure to heat can bring a variety of long-term health issues. Continuous exposure to heat over days and years can weaken the heart and kidneys, disturb sleep patterns, and pose challenges to mental health.
To safeguard yourself, allow your body time to adapt to the heat. According to Rebecca Stearns, the chief operating officer of the Corey Stringer Institute at the University of Connecticut, the initial 10 to 15 days of engaging in any new activity in a warm environment are crucial. ____18____.
Also, avoid outdoor exercise or other activities. If it can’t be avoided, taking breaks from the heat during heatwaves, even for a few hours, can offer protection. Although air conditioning and electric fans are helpful, they may not be accessible during power failure. In such cases, wetting the skin with water or visiting community-designated cooling centers can be effective alternatives.
____19____. Learn to identify the signs of heatstroke in yourself and others. Stearns pointed out that feeling unwell, weak, or confused are all “red flags”. Other signs to watch for in yourself and others include walking unsteadily, collapsing, or having difficulty coordinating (协调) movements.
Experts recommend immediate cooling if heatstroke is suspected, even before a full diagnosis. ____20____. Cold water immersion (浸没), where your entire body is put in iced water, is also a primary treatment method for heatstroke.
A. Some people intend to have a cool summer
B. It’s vital to be aware of the warning signs in people

47. 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。
On a small, beautiful coastal island, Lily, a 12-year-old girl, shared her life with her loving family and Coco, a rescued monkey with a playful light in his eyes. Lily found Coco as an injured baby monkey two years ago and nursed him back to health. Since then, the two had been inseparable, exploring the island’s thick forests and sandy beaches together.
One seemingly ordinary morning, as the sun cast a warm glow over the island, Lily and Coco were playing near the shore. Suddenly, Coco’s playful manner disappeared. His fur (软毛) stood on end, and he let out sharp cries. The usually calm monkey started pulling at Lily’s shirt with an urgency she had never seen before, his eyes wide with fear as he pointed towards the sea.
Lily looked out and was shocked. The water was falling at an alarming rate, exposing the ocean floor and leaving fish flopping (扑腾) helplessly. Remembering the tsunami (海啸) warnings from school, she felt a cold feeling run down her body. Without wasting a second, she grabbed Coco and started running towards the village, her heart pounding in her chest. Coco swung from branch to branch above her, screaming loudly to catch the villagers’ attention. Their combined efforts finally woke the sleepy town, and people began rushing to higher ground.
As the massive waves crashed onto the island, Lily and her family crowded in a strong hilltop house. But after two days, their food and clean water supplies were almost gone. Everyone was weak and scared. Coco, who had been quietly observing, suddenly jumped out of the window and disappeared into the forest.
Hours passed, and Lily began to worry. She paced restlessly around the room, her mind filled with terrifying thoughts. What if Coco had gotten lost in the dense forest? Or what if he had encountered some wild animals? Each passing minute felt like a life, and her anxiety grew with every tick of the clock.
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。
Surprisingly, Coco returned, his fur dirty but his eyes determined.
