Titled “The Butterfly Effect”, the installation is a creative response to workshops the students attended with scientists from the University of Cambridge to learn about climate change and extinction events. Inspired by learning that butterflies act as an early warning sign to environmental changes, the group worked with artist Hilary Cox Condron to create an exhibition featuring hundreds of handmade butterflies displayed throughout the museum, alongside hand-painted warning signs. The colorful display of butterflies, made from recycled paper from the school, research labs and museum, is strategically placed to highlight the “Big Five” extinction events. The handmade cardboard protest signs, including one held by a 13-foot-tall Iguanodon dinosaur skeleton, reflect the voices of the young people. They are meant to alert and inspire museum visitors about the ongoing sixth mass extinction event. “The Butterfly Effect” is the result of a collaboration between the museum and school that began in November 2023. Students volunteered their time after school each week to learn about different aspects of climate change and channel their knowledge into a creative project. The workshops included: ✱Collecting climate data and citizen science, led by Alison Giles, Whipple Museum. ✱Fossil evidence and changing climates led by Dr Sally Collins, Sedgwick Museum. ✱Sessions with various university scientists and students. ✱Creative sessions with artist Hilary Cox Condron. The exhibition is free to visit and open until June 2025. The Sedgwick Museum is open Monday to Friday 10 am — 5 pm and on Saturdays 10 am — 4 pm. Plan your visit at: https://sedgwickmuseum.cam.ac.uk/ 1. What do we know about The Butterfly Effect installation? A. It focuses on local wildlife conservation. B.

At 10, I endured a two-week camp, tearfully writing letters home daily, marking each salty drop that stained my words as “my tears”. It’s not that I didn’t like nature in general — I could appreciate the beauty of a glowing sunset or crashing waves on a sandy beach — I just didn’t think my relationship with it could be improved by unnecessarily enduring hardship. Why be uncomfortable when I could be comfortable? It was not until I had kids that my relationship with nature changed. Young children are natural outdoor enthusiasts, often happily covered in dirt or sand, enjoying nothing more than digging for worms and picking up bugs. When my brothers suggested my family join theirs on one of the annual canoe trips, I decided to give the outdoors another shot. On the lake, our canoes moved through blue-black water, stirred by our strokes. Only paddle splashes and children’s laughter filled the air, mingling with pine scents and loon (潜鸟) calls. The kids helped each other lift heavy packs, the same kids who, in their regular city lives, refused to carry their own school knapsacks down the block. I marveled. Once we reached camp and set up our tents, the kids ran around the forest gathering dry wood. We sat around the campfire, talked and ate our prepared food. The kids sang songs and played hand-slapping games. There was no cell service, so we couldn’t even check the weather. My thoughts were about food and shelter, enjoying this place and these people. Maybe time away from modern comforts was not deprivation, but simplification, I realized. Family canoe trips to Algonquin Park have become a cherished annual tradition. Thankfully, these children have learned to love time in nature far earlier than I did. 4. Why did the author dislike camping as a child? A. She had no friends to go camping with. B. She was afraid of worms and bugs. C. Camping left her feeling uncomfortable. D. She hated being away from her family. 5. What made the author begin to reconsider her relationship with nature? A. An encounter with a nature enthusiast. B. A longing to make a change. C. Her brothers’ suggestion to go on a trip. D. Her children’s love for the outdoors. 6. What surprised the author about the kids’ behavior on the canoe trip? A. They became more independent. B. They refused to help with chores. C. They complained about their heavy packs. D. They were less interested in cellphones. 7. What did the author realize during the trip? A. Time spent away from technology is a loss. B. Embracing a simpler lifestyle can be enjoyable. C. Modern comforts are necessary for happiness. D. Camping is a good way to bond with family. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候讨厌露营，后来因孩子对户外的热爱重新尝试露营，在旅程中改变看法，最终将家庭独木舟露营变成年度珍贵传统的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I just didn’t think my relationship with it could be improved by unnecessarily enduring hardship. Why be uncomfortable when I could be comfortable?(我只是觉得，没有必要忍受苦难来改善我与自然的关系。既然可以舒服，为什么要不舒服呢？)”可知，作者小时候讨厌露营是因为露营让她感到不舒服。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It was not until I had kids that my relationship with nature changed. Young children are natural outdoor enthusiasts, often happily covered in dirt or sand, enjoying nothing more than digging for worms and picking up bugs.(直到我有了孩子，我与自然的关系才发生了改变。小孩子天生就是户外爱好者，常常开心地满身泥土或沙子，最喜欢挖虫子、捡小昆虫)”可知，是孩子们对户外的热爱让作者开始重新思考自己与自然的关系。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The kids helped each other lift heavy packs, the same kids who, in their regular city lives, refused to carry their own school knapsacks down the block. I marveled.(孩子们互相帮忙搬沉重的背包，就是这些孩子，在平时的城市生活中，连自己的书包都不愿意搬到街区尽头。我感到很惊讶)”可知，孩子们在独木舟旅行中变得更独立，主动互相帮忙，这让作者感到意外。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“There was no cell service, so we couldn’t even check the weather. My thoughts were about food and shelter, enjoying this place and these people. Maybe time away from modern comforts was not deprivation, but simplification, I realized.(那里没有手机信号，我们甚至无法查看天气。我的思绪只围绕着食物和住所，享受这个地方和身边的人。我意识到，远离现代舒适设施的时光，或许不是匮乏，而是一种简化)”可知，作者在旅行中意识到，拥抱更简单的生活方式也可以很愉快。故选B项。 C Tiny sticky drops used on crops to trap pests could be a green alternative to chemical pesticides, research has shown. The insect glue, produced from edible oils, was inspired by plants such as sundews (毛毡苔) that use the strategy to capture their prey. A key advantage of physical pesticides over chemical pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies. Meanwhile, bigger beneficial insects, like bees, are not trapped by the drops. Pests destroy large amounts of food, and chemical pesticide use has risen by 50 percent in the past three decades, as the growing global population demands more food. However, increasing evidence of significant harm to nature and wildlife, and sometimes humans, has led to a rising number of pesticides being banned. Some farmers already use alternatives to chemical pesticides, such as introducing other insects that kill the pests, but the new sticky drops are thought to be the first biodegradable pesticide to be demonstrated. The drops were tested on the western flower thrip (蓟马), which is known to attack more than 500 species of vegetables, fruits and ornamental crops. More than 60 percent of the thrips were captured within two days of the test, and the drops remained sticky for weeks. The team is testing to see if scents can be incorporated into the drops to make them even more attractive to the thrips or to attract natural predators of the pests. The sticky drops will biodegrade, but the team is investigating how long this takes. They are also assessing how quickly dust reduces the stickiness of the drops. Dr Thomas Kodger at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands who is part of the self-defense project, confirmed the team’s commitment to advancing the sticky pesticide. “We hope it will not have nearly as disastrous side effects on the local environment or on accidental poisonings of humans as chemical pesticides. And the other alternatives are much worse, which may lead to potential starvation due to crop loss or the overuse of chemical pesticides,” he said. 8. Why are physical pesticides considered advantageous over chemical pesticides? A. They are easier to apply. B. They reduce pest resistance. C. They trap more types of insects. D. They are more effective in killing pests. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The purpose of the research. B. The experimental design. C. The research background. D. The originality of the research. 10. What are researchers currently investigating about the sticky drops? A. Their impact on crops. B. The durability of their stickiness. C. Their appeal to beneficial insects. D. The effectiveness on different pests. 11. What does Dr Thomas Kodger think of the insect glue? A. It is an environmentally friendly option. B. It may cause a decrease in crop production. C. It ensures the stability of food security. D. It is preferable to other harmful choices. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种由食用油制成的粘性液滴作为物理杀虫剂，可替代化学杀虫剂，阐述其优势、研究背景、实验情况及研究团队的后续探索和态度。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A key advantage of physical pesticides over chemical pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies.(物理杀虫剂相对于化学杀虫剂的一个关键优势是，害虫几乎不可能进化出抗药性，因为这需要它们发育出更大更强壮的身体)”可知，物理杀虫剂的优势在于能减少害虫产生抗药性的可能。故选B项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Pests destroy large amounts of food, and chemical pesticide use has risen by 50 percent in the past three decades, as the growing global population demands more food. However, increasing evidence of significant harm to nature and wildlife, and sometimes humans, has led to a rising number of pesticides being banned. Some farmers already use alternatives to chemical pesticides, such as introducing other insects that kill the pests, but the new sticky drops are thought to be the first biodegradable pesticide to be demonstrated.(害虫会破坏大量粮食，过去三十年来，随着全球人口增长对粮食需求的增加，化学杀虫剂的使用量增长了50%。然而，越来越多的证据表明化学杀虫剂对自然、野生动物甚至人类造成重大危害，导致越来越多的杀虫剂被禁止使用。一些农民已经在使用化学杀虫剂的替代品，例如引入其他捕食害虫的昆虫，但这种新型粘性液滴被认为是第一种已被证实的可生物降解杀虫剂)”可知，该段主要介绍了研究的背景——化学杀虫剂的问题及现有替代方案，引出新型粘性液滴的研究意义。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The sticky drops will biodegrade, but the team is investigating how long this takes. They are also assessing how quickly dust reduces the stickiness of the drops.(这种粘性液滴会生物降解，但该团队正在研究这一过程需要多长时间。他们还在评估灰尘会以多快的速度降低液滴的粘性)”可知，研究人员目前正在调查粘性液滴粘性的持久性。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““We hope it will not have nearly as disastrous side effects on the local environment or on accidental poisonings of humans as chemical pesticides. And the other alternatives are much worse, which may lead to potential starvation due to crop loss or the overuse of chemical pesticides,” he said.(他表示：“我们希望，这种物质不会像化学杀虫剂那样，对当地环境造成近乎灾难性的副作用，也不会导致人类意外中毒。而其他替代方案的效果则要糟糕得多，这些方案要么会因作物减产引发潜在的饥荒，要么会造成化学杀虫剂的滥用。”)”可推断，托马斯·科杰博士认为黏性滴剂优于其他杀虫剂。故选D项。 D Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala (大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nature. “But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,” says Sonja Sudimac. To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature precipitates beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress. “The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Kihn, head of the group. The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk.This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects the brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain. In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress on mothers and their babies. 12. What does Sonja Sudimac mean when she talks about the hen-and-egg problem? A. Living in rural areas can influence brain activity. B. People living in cities are more likely to have mental health problems. C. The relationship between stress and health does not need to be examined. D. It is hard to determine the effect of living environment on mental well-being. 13 How did the researchers gather evidence for the study? A. By citing experts opinions. B. By studying an existing theory. C. By interviewing healthy participants. D. By comparing the amygdala activity of volunteers. 14. What does the underlined word “precipitates” in paragraph 2 mean? A. avoid B. provoke C. hinder D. suggest 15. What does Simone Kihn’s explanation challenge about urban environments? A. The idea that cities are naturally stressful. B. The belief that city living benefits brain health. C. The claim that rural living reduces brain activity. D. The idea that a one-hour walk greatly changes brain activity. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是城市与自然环境对人类大脑及心理健康的不同影响，特别是通过实验对比揭示了自然环境能有效降低大脑杏仁核的活动，减轻压力，为预防心理疾病提供了新思路。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,” says Sonja Sudimac. (Sonja Sudimac说：“但是到目前为止，母鸡和蛋的问题还没有解决，也就是说，究竟是大自然真的造成了大脑的影响，还是特定的个体选择住在农村还是城市地区。”)可知，当Sonja Sudimac谈到母鸡和蛋的问题时，意思是说很难确定生活环境对心理健康的影响。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin.(为了获得因果关系的证据，该小组的研究人员对63名健康志愿者在格鲁内瓦尔德森林或柏林交通繁忙的购物街散步一小时前后，检查了与压力处理有关的大脑区域的活动)”可推知，研究人员是通过比较志愿者的杏仁核活动来为这项研究收集证据的。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature precipitates beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.(结果显示，在自然中散步后，杏仁核的活动有所减少，这表明自然会precipitates对与压力相关的大脑区域产生有益影响)”可知，precipitates前后文存在因果逻辑，自然散步导致杏仁核活动减少，进而产生有益影响。由此猜测，precipitates意为“促使”，与provoke同义。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Kihn, head of the group.(有趣的是，在城市中行走后，这些区域的大脑活动保持稳定，没有增加，这反驳了人们普遍认为的城市暴露会导致额外压力的观点，”该团队的负责人Simone Kihn解释道)”可知，Simone Kihn的解释对城市自然就充满压力这个观点提出了挑战。故选A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。 Although driving your car is likely second nature, a successful road trip is more than just shifting your vehicle to “drive”.

He was not only the top student in his grade but also the capable student council president, his parents’ quiet pride, and the teacher’s favorite destined for a prestigious university. His life seemed like a straight, smooth path where he needed only to keep moving forward, accompanied by constant praise and achievements. However, a sudden and unexpected turn of events changed everything. A serious illness hospitalized him for two full months and, more devastatingly, cost him direct admission to his dream university by causing him to miss the crucial entrance exams.When Sam returned to school, he found himself an outsider. The new curriculum was difficult to follow, and his once-sharp mind now struggled with concepts that had previously come easily. Exams that used to be simple now felt overwhelming. What pained him more was the change in how people looked at him the admiration in their eyes had been replaced with careful sympathy. Even well-meaning comments like “It’s okay, health comes first” felt like rejections of everything he had once been. He grew increasingly withdrawn, avoiding conversations and social interactions. The fear of failure became so intense that he began skipping school, preferring to face his struggles alone. One weekend afternoon, seeking escape from his mother’s constant worried gaze, wandered aimlessly into the local community center. The place was bustling with activity as staff recruited (招募) volunteers for the upcoming culture festival.The available tasks were simple and ordinary arranging chairs, directing elderly attendees, managing performance props (道具). Watching the volunteers work without pressure or expectations, Sam realized something important: here, nobody knew him as “the top student”. Here, his past achievements and recent failures meant nothing. A sense of relief washed over him, offering temporary freedom from the heavy burden of excellence. Almost without conscious thought, he stepped forward and signed his name on the volunteer form. 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。 Sam was assigned to guide and assist the elderly visitors.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As one elderly man left, he grasped Sam’s hand firmly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: Sam was assigned to guide and assist the elderly visitors. At first, he felt a bit nervous, unsure of how to interact with them. However, as he helped an old lady find her seat and explained the schedule to a gentleman with a hearing aid, he noticed their grateful smiles. Their warmth and patience slowly eased his anxiety. For the first time in months, he wasn’t being judged by his grades or achievements. He was just Sam — a helpful young man. This simple role gave him a quiet sense of purpose he hadn’t felt since his illness. Paragraph 2: As one elderly man left, he grasped Sam’s hand firmly. “You’re a wonderful boy,” the man said earnestly, his voice warm. “Your kindness means more than you know.” Sam’s eyes stung a little. In that moment, he understood that his worth wasn’t tied to being a “top student”. The heavy weight of failure lifted off his shoulders, and he felt a new sense of purpose. When he went home that night, he smiled at his mother for the first time in weeks, ready to face his struggles head-on, knowing kindness and effort were far more important than perfection. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了山姆因重病错失梦想大学入场券，重返校园后陷入自我否定、逃避社交，偶然在社区中心报名志愿者，在服务老人的过程中摆脱“完美标签”束缚，重拾自我价值的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句“山姆被分配去引导和协助老年访客。”可知，接下来可描写山姆从最初的紧张局促，到在服务老人的过程中逐渐放松，感受不带评判的善意，初步找回归属感的心理变化。 ② 由第二段首句“一位老人离开时，紧紧握住了山姆的手。”可知，接下来可通过老人的暖心话语点醒山姆，让他明白自我价值并非绑定于成绩与成就，最终促使他放下执念，愿意直面生活困境。 2. 续写线索 紧张服务——感受老人善意与包容——内心焦虑缓解，重拾归属感——老人真诚赞许——顿悟自我价值的真谛——放下执念，直面困境 3.词类激活 行为类 ①面对：face/confront/be confronted with ②缓解：ease/relieve 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/tense/anxious ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】However, as he helped an old lady find her seat and explained the schedule to a gentleman with a hearing aid, he noticed their grateful smiles.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】This simple role gave him a quiet sense of purpose he hadn’t felt since his illness.（运用了省略关系代词that/which的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 六安一中2026届高三年级第五次月考英语试卷 时间：120分钟 总分：150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

Titled “The Butterfly Effect”, the installation is a creative response to workshops the students attended with scientists from the University of Cambridge to learn about climate change and extinction events. Inspired by learning that butterflies act as an early warning sign to environmental changes, the group worked with artist Hilary Cox Condron to create an exhibition featuring hundreds of handmade butterflies displayed throughout the museum, alongside hand-painted warning signs. The colorful display of butterflies, made from recycled paper from the school, research labs and museum, is strategically placed to highlight the “Big Five” extinction events. The handmade cardboard protest signs, including one held by a 13-foot-tall Iguanodon dinosaur skeleton, reflect the voices of the young people. They are meant to alert and inspire museum visitors about the ongoing sixth mass extinction event. “The Butterfly Effect” is the result of a collaboration between the museum and school that began in November 2023. Students volunteered their time after school each week to learn about different aspects of climate change and channel their knowledge into a creative project. The workshops included: ✱Collecting climate data and citizen science, led by Alison Giles, Whipple Museum. ✱Fossil evidence and changing climates, led by Dr Sally Collins, Sedgwick Museum. ✱Sessions with various university scientists and students. ✱Creative sessions with artist Hilary Cox Condron. The exhibition is free to visit and open until June 2025. The Sedgwick Museum is open Monday to Friday 10 am — 5 pm and on Saturdays 10 am — 4 pm.

At 10, I endured a two-week camp, tearfully writing letters home daily, marking each salty drop that stained my words as “my tears”. It’s not that I didn’t like nature in general — I could appreciate the beauty of a glowing sunset or crashing waves on a sandy beach — I just didn’t think my relationship with it could be improved by unnecessarily enduring hardship. Why be uncomfortable when I could be comfortable? It was not until I had kids that my relationship with nature changed. Young children are natural outdoor enthusiasts, often happily covered in dirt or sand, enjoying nothing more than digging for worms and picking up bugs. When my brothers suggested my family join theirs on one of the annual canoe trips, I decided to give the outdoors another shot. On the lake, our canoes moved through blue-black water, stirred by our strokes. Only paddle splashes and children’s laughter filled the air, mingling with pine scents and loon (潜鸟) calls. The kids helped each other lift heavy packs, the same kids who, in their regular city lives, refused to carry their own school knapsacks down the block. I marveled. Once we reached camp and set up our tents, the kids ran around the forest gathering dry wood. We sat around the campfire, talked and ate our prepared food. The kids sang songs and played hand-slapping games. There was no cell service, so we couldn’t even check the weather. My thoughts were about food and shelter, enjoying this place and these people. Maybe time away from modern comforts was not deprivation, but simplification, I realized. Family canoe trips to Algonquin Park have become a cherished annual tradition. Thankfully, these children have learned to love time in nature far earlier than I did. 4. Why did the author dislike camping as a child? A. She had no friends to go camping with. B. She was afraid of worms and bugs. C. Camping left her feeling uncomfortable. D. She hated being away from her family. 5. What made the author begin to reconsider her relationship with nature? A. An encounter with a nature enthusiast. B. A longing to make a change. C. Her brothers’ suggestion to go on a trip. D. Her children’s love for the outdoors. 6. What surprised the author about the kids’ behavior on the canoe trip? A. They became more independent. B. They refused to help with chores. C. They complained about their heavy packs. D. They were less interested in cellphones. 7. What did the author realize during the trip? A. Time spent away from technology is a loss. B. Embracing a simpler lifestyle can be enjoyable. C. Modern comforts are necessary for happiness. D. Camping is a good way to bond with family. C Tiny sticky drops used on crops to trap pests could be a green alternative to chemical pesticides, research has shown. The insect glue, produced from edible oils, was inspired by plants such as sundews (毛毡苔) that use the strategy to capture their prey. A key advantage of physical pesticides over chemical pesticides is that pests are highly unlikely to evolve resistance, as this would require them to develop much larger and stronger bodies. Meanwhile, bigger beneficial insects, like bees, are not trapped by the drops. Pests destroy large amounts of food, and chemical pesticide use has risen by 50 percent in the past three decades, as the growing global population demands more food. However, increasing evidence of significant harm to nature and wildlife, and sometimes humans, has led to a rising number of pesticides being banned. Some farmers already use alternatives to chemical pesticides, such as introducing other insects that kill the pests, but the new sticky drops are thought to be the first biodegradable pesticide to be demonstrated. The drops were tested on the western flower thrip (蓟马), which is known to attack more than 500 species of vegetables, fruits and ornamental crops. More than 60 percent of the thrips were captured within two days of the test, and the drops remained sticky for weeks. The team is testing to see if scents can be incorporated into the drops to make them even more attractive to the thrips or to attract natural predators of the pests. The sticky drops will biodegrade, but the team is investigating how long this takes. They are also assessing how quickly dust reduces the stickiness of the drops. Dr Thomas Kodger at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands who is part of the self-defense project, confirmed the team’s commitment to advancing the sticky pesticide. “We hope it will not have nearly as disastrous side effects on the local environment or on accidental poisonings of humans as chemical pesticides. And the other alternatives are much worse, which may lead to potential starvation due to crop loss or the overuse of chemical pesticides,” he said. 8. Why are physical pesticides considered advantageous over chemical pesticides? A. They are easier to apply. B. They reduce pest resistance. C. They trap more types of insects. D. They are more effective in killing pests. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The purpose of the research. B. The experimental design. C. The research background. D. The originality of the research. 10. What are researchers currently investigating about the sticky drops? A. Their impact on crops. B. The durability of their stickiness. C. Their appeal to beneficial insects. D. The effectiveness on different pests. 11. What does Dr Thomas Kodger think of the insect glue? A. It is an environmentally friendly option. B. It may cause a decrease in crop production. C. It ensures the stability of food security. D. It is preferable to other harmful choices. D Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder, while living close to nature is largely beneficial for mental health and the brain. A central brain region, the amygdala (大脑杏仁核) involved in stress processing, has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas, compared to those who live in cities, hinting at the potential benefits of nature. “But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved, namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,” says Sonja Sudimac. To achieve causal evidence, the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin. The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature, suggesting that nature precipitates beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress. “The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health, but this is the first study to prove the causal link. Interestingly, the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases, which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,” explains Simone Kihn, head of the group. The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk.This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects the brain and mental health. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain. In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups, the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress on mothers and their babies. 12. What does Sonja Sudimac mean when she talks about the hen-and-egg problem? A. Living in rural areas can influence brain activity. B. People living in cities are more likely to have mental health problems. C. The relationship between stress and health does not need to be examined. D.

He was not only the top student in his grade but also the capable student council president, his parents’ quiet pride, and the teacher’s favorite destined for a prestigious university. His life seemed like a straight, smooth path where he needed only to keep moving forward, accompanied by constant praise and achievements. However, a sudden and unexpected turn of events changed everything. A serious illness hospitalized him for two full months and, more devastatingly, cost him direct admission to his dream university by causing him to miss the crucial entrance exams.When Sam returned to school, he found himself an outsider. The new curriculum was difficult to follow, and his once-sharp mind now struggled with concepts that had previously come easily. Exams that used to be simple now felt overwhelming. What pained him more was the change in how people looked at him the admiration in their eyes had been replaced with careful sympathy. Even well-meaning comments like “It’s okay, health comes first” felt like rejections of everything he had once been. He grew increasingly withdrawn, avoiding conversations and social interactions. The fear of failure became so intense that he began skipping school, preferring to face his struggles alone. One weekend afternoon, seeking escape from his mother’s constant worried gaze, wandered aimlessly into the local community center. The place was bustling with activity as staff recruited (招募) volunteers for the upcoming culture festival.The available tasks were simple and ordinary arranging chairs, directing elderly attendees, managing performance props (道具). Watching the volunteers work without pressure or expectations, Sam realized something important: here, nobody knew him as “the top student”. Here, his past achievements and recent failures meant nothing. A sense of relief washed over him, offering temporary freedom from the heavy burden of excellence. Almost without conscious thought, he stepped forward and signed his name on the volunteer form. 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。 Sam was assigned to guide and assist the elderly visitors.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As one elderly man left, he grasped Sam’s hand firmly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
