Today, she channels that early love into her work as a planner for Santa Fe County, where she helps protect and restore open spaces along the river. But Adeline doesn’t just rely on maps and models; she listens to the community, to the locals. In Santa Fe County, Adeline has led wetland restoration efforts that improve water flow and soil health and make space for life to return. Input from the surrounding community plays a role. Besides, when there are tools like a flow device — a pipe fixed through a beaver (河狸) dam that controls water levels to prevent flooding while allowing beavers to stay — and protective cages for trees which stop greedy beavers, strife between humans and nature’s ecosystem can be avoided. For Adeline, freshwater restoration is not judged merely by engineering figures such as the flow volume or the degree to which water quality has improved. Her highest priority is the way that reappearing animals and people share the restored landscape: cranes (鹤) feeding in the shallows, beavers rebuilding homes, and at the same time, local families walking, fishing or simply enjoying the riverbank alongside them. Beavers and humans sharing space requires ongoing work and continuous adaptation. When beavers live in human inhabited areas, there might be issues with human infrastructure (基础设施) that requires adaptation and management. It’s not always simple, but there have been payoffs. “We had an amazing experience in 2022 where we spotted fireflies here for the first time in decades,” Adeline recalls. 4. Why did Adeline study biology? A. Because of the lost open spaces. B. Because of the ruined Rio Grande. C. Because of her passion for nature. D. Because of her role in the community. 5. What does the underlined word “strife” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Difference. B. Harmony. C. Competition. D. Conflict. 6. What does Adeline value most to assess freshwater restoration? A. The appearance of rare species. B. The water-quality improvement. C. The volume of the freshwater flow. D. The human-wildlife coexistence. 7. What does the return of fireflies symbolize? A. The recovery of human habitats. B. The importance of wild animals. C. The positive impact of restoration. D. The completion of Adeline’s work. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Adeline Murthy受童年自然经历的影响学习生物学，并在圣达菲县担任规划师期间，通过结合社区意见与生态技术推动河流湿地修复，最终实现人与自然和谐共生的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘I studied biology because of the experiences in the natural world around the Rio Grande,’ she says.(她说：‘我学习生物学是因为在格兰德河周边自然世界中的经历。’)”可知，Adeline学习生物学源于她对自然的热爱。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Besides, when there are tools like a flow device — a pipe fixed through a beaver dam that controls water levels to prevent flooding while allowing beavers to stay — and protective cages for trees which stop greedy beavers, strife between humans and nature’s ecosystem can be avoided.(此外，当有诸如流量装置——一种穿过河狸大坝的管道，可控制水位防止洪水同时让河狸留存——以及防止贪婪河狸破坏树木的保护笼这类工具时，人类与自然生态系统之间的strife就可以避免。)”可知，这些工具的作用是避免人类与自然生态系统之间的冲突，因此“strife”意为“冲突”，选项D“conflict(冲突)”符合题意。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Her highest priority is the way that reappearing animals and people share the restored landscape: cranes feeding in the shallows, beavers rebuilding homes, and at the same time, local families walking, fishing or simply enjoying the riverbank alongside them.(她最看重的是重现的动物与人类共享修复后景观的方式：鹤在浅滩觅食，河狸重建家园，与此同时，当地家庭在岸边散步、钓鱼或只是享受河畔风光。)”可知，Adeline评估淡水修复时最重视的是人与野生动物的共存。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“‘We had an amazing experience in 2022 where we spotted fireflies here for the first time in decades,’ Adeline recalls.(Adeline回忆道：‘2022年我们有了一次奇妙的经历，几十年来首次在这里发现了萤火虫。’)”结合前文提到的生态修复努力，可知萤火虫的回归象征着修复工作带来的积极影响。故选C。 C For many, fitness trackers have become essential tools for monitoring how many calories they’ve burned in a day. But for those being overweight, who are known to exhibit differences in the walking pattern, speed, energy burned and more, these devices often underestimate or overestimate actual activity. People with obesity (肥胖) could gain major health insights from activity trackers, but most current devices miss the mark. Current activity-monitoring algorithms(算法) that fitness trackers use are built for people without overweight. Waist-worn trackers often misread energy burn because of walking pattern changes and device tipping in people with higher body weight. Now, a new algorithm has been developed, which enables smartwatches to more accurately monitor the calories burned by people being overweight. The technology bridges a critical gap in fitness technology, said Nabil Alshurafa, whose HABits Lab created and tested the algorithm specifically tuned for people being overweight. They put the algorithm on the web so that any scientist can download it and run the same tests. In this way, others can check the results, point out any weak parts, and add new ideas. Their next step is to launch an activity-monitoring app later this year that will be available for smart phone use. “Without an effective algorithm for wrist devices, we would still be in the dark about exactly how much activity and energy people with obesity really get each day — slowing our ability to tailor measures and improve health outcomes,” Alshurafa said. By using data from fitness trackers, the new algorithm compares to gold-standard methods of measuring energy burn and can estimate how much energy someone with obesity is using every minute, achieving over 95% accuracy in real-world situations. This advancement makes it easier for more people with obesity to track their daily activities and energy use. We regard “standard” workouts as the ultimate test, but those standards leave out so many people. We must rethink how gyms,trackers and exercise programs measure success — so no one’s hard work goes unseen. 8. What problem do current fitness trackers have? A. They’re bad at recording walking styles. B. They’re inaccurate for overweight users. C. They all underestimate people’s movement. D. They use algorithms for limited exercises. 9. Why did the lab release the new algorithm as an open one? A. To encourage further improvement. B. To promote much wider application. C. To contribute to scientists’ new ideas. D. To compete with existent algorithms. 10. What does the author suggest about “standard” workouts? A. Doing ultimate tests. B. Measuring hard work. C. Employing diverse data. D. Including more people. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Obesity Defeats Most Fitness Trackers B. A Better Algorithm for Heavier Bodies C. A New App for Counting Energy Burn D. Overweight People Face New Challenges 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现有健身追踪器在监测肥胖人群卡路里消耗时存在的算法缺陷，以及一款专为肥胖人群设计的新型算法的研发、优势和应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But for those being overweight, who are known to exhibit differences in the walking pattern, speed, energy burned and more, these devices often underestimate or overestimate actual activity.(但对于那些已知在行走模式、速度、消耗的能量等方面存在差异的超重人群来说，这些设备往往会低估或高估实际活动量。)”以及第二段“Current activity-monitoring algorithms that fitness trackers use are built for people without overweight.(健身追踪器使用的当前活动监测算法是为非超重人群设计的。)”可知，现有健身追踪器对超重用户的监测不准确。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They put the algorithm on the web so that any scientist can download it and run the same tests. In this way, others can check the results, point out any weak parts, and add new ideas.(他们将该算法放在网上，以便任何科学家都可以下载并进行相同的测试。通过这种方式，其他人可以检查结果，指出任何薄弱环节，并添加新的想法。)”可知，实验室将新算法公开是为了鼓励进一步改进。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“We regard ‘standard’ workouts as the ultimate test, but those standards leave out so many people. We must rethink how gyms, trackers and exercise programs measure success — so no one’s hard work goes unseen.(我们将‘标准’锻炼视为最终测试，但这些标准遗漏了很多人。我们必须重新思考健身房、追踪器和锻炼计划如何衡量成功——这样才能让每个人的努力都被看见。)”可知，作者建议“标准”锻炼应该涵盖更多人群。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Now, a new algorithm has been developed, which enables smartwatches to more accurately monitor the calories burned by people being overweight.(现在，一种新的算法已经被开发出来，它能让智能手表更准确地监测超重人群燃烧的卡路里。)”以及全文围绕该新型算法展开，介绍其解决了现有健身追踪器对超重人群监测不准的问题，B选项“A Better Algorithm for Heavier Bodies(针对体重较大人群的更优算法)”最能概括全文主旨。故选B。 D A cyclist, biking through traffic on a downtown street, suddenly turned to the right. Then a passer-by was knocked down. Later, when the police interviewed witnesses, their accounts differed. “She just stepped right into the bike route while texting,” one man said. “No way,” a woman spoke sharply. “That guy was flying — he didn’t even slow down.” Two viewpoints. One event. This isn’t just about attention or memory; it reflects how human minds are wired. From an evolutionary aspect, variation in thought is a strength. Natural selection does not only favor physical characteristics but also shapes cognitive (认知的) diversity. Our ancestors faced various challenges. Those who could interpret situations differently from others sometimes survived when the majority made mistakes. That variation in thought often meant the difference between survival and death. If everyone in a population reacts to threats identically, a shared blind spot could destroy the group completely. Cognitive diversity prevents danger sometimes and boosts the likelihood that someone will respond effectively to adapt and survive various challenges. Our visual system does not record reality like a camera; instead, it interprets sensory input,influenced by expectations, past experiences, and emotional states. Two people can watch the same scene but “see” differently because their brains emphasize different details. The brain constructs reality using “predictions” based on previous encounters. These mental models prepare us to respond quickly but also introduce bias into our perceptions. Humans require a shared baseline of reality to function as societies. However, even this is subject to negotiation. Disagreements over facts may seem functional, but they enable us to argue, reflect, and innovate. Our disagreements are not mere noise —they are how new ideas emerge and old assumptions are tested. We live in an era characterized by division and widespread misinformation. It is easy to perceive those disagreeing with us as unfriendly. However, in many cases, they just view the world in a different way. Instead of demanding sameness, we should appreciate constructive disagreement. It’s not a threat — it’s the engine that encourages us to think, adapt, and move forward. 12. Why is the bicycle accident presented at the beginning? A. To collect information from witnesses. B. To stress the importance of road safety. C. To prove seeing isn’t exactly believing. D. To show people don’t all think the same. 13. How does cognitive diversity enhance group survival? A. By reducing the risks. B. By selecting the fittest. C. By preventing mistakes. D. By drawing rapid responses. 14. Which of the following contributes to the biased perception? A. Poor memory. B. Subjective judgement. C. Complex details. D. Groundless predictions. 15. What does the author view disagreement as? A. A danger to society. B. A boost to the sameness. C. A driver of progress. D. A result of misinformation. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨人们对同一事件看法存在差异的原因，以及认知多样性对群体生存和社会发展的重要意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Later, when the police interviewed witnesses, their accounts differed. “She just stepped right into the bike route while texting,” one man said. “No way,” a woman spoke sharply. “That guy was flying — he didn’t even slow down.” Two viewpoints. One event. This isn’t just about attention or memory; it reflects how human minds are wired.(后来，警方询问目击者时，他们的说法各不相同。“她当时正低头玩手机，直接就闯进了自行车道。” 一名男子说道。“不可能，” 一位女士语气尖锐地反驳，“那个骑车的人速度快得像飞一样 —— 他根本就没减速。” 同一件事，两种截然不同的说法。这不仅仅和注意力或者记忆力有关，更反映出人类的思维模式本就如此。)”可知，作者在开头讲述自行车事故，是为了用目击者的不同证词，引出“人们对同一事件的想法存在差异”这一核心观点。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If everyone in a population reacts to threats identically, a shared blind spot could destroy the group completely. Cognitive diversity prevents danger sometimes and boosts the likelihood that someone will respond effectively to adapt and survive various challenges. (如果一个群体中的所有人对威胁都做出相同的反应，那么一个共同的认知盲点就可能彻底摧毁整个群体。认知多样性有时能规避危险，还能提高有人做出有效反应、以适应并度过各种挑战的可能性。)”可知，认知多样性能够减少群体面临的风险，从而提升群体的生存几率。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Our visual system does not record reality like a camera; instead, it interprets sensory input,influenced by expectations, past experiences, and emotional states. Two people can watch the same scene but “see” differently because their brains emphasize different details. The brain constructs reality using “predictions” based on previous encounters. These mental models prepare us to respond quickly but also introduce bias into our perceptions. (我们的视觉系统并非像照相机那样记录现实；相反，它会在预期、过往经历和情绪状态的影响下，对感官输入的信息进行解读。两个人即便观看同一个场景，也可能“看到”不同的内容，因为他们的大脑会侧重关注不同的细节。大脑会依据过往的经历，通过“预判”来构建对现实的认知。这些心理模式能让我们快速做出反应，但同时也会给我们的感知带来偏见。)”可知，预期、经历、情绪等主观因素会影响人们对事物的解读，进而产生认知偏见。由此可推知，主观判断是造成偏见性感知的原因之一。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Instead of demanding sameness, we should appreciate constructive disagreement. It’s not a threat—— it’s the engine that encourages us to think, adapt, and move forward.(我们不应强求观点一致，而应重视富有建设性的分歧。它并非威胁，而是促使我们思考、适应并不断前进的引擎。)”可知，作者将分歧视为推动进步的动力。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone has curiosity. The genius, Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” ____16____ a born drive to learn, explore, and make sense of the world. Curiosity motivates us to question assumptions, encounter new perspectives, and tolerate uncertainty. ____17____. When we approach challenges with genuine interest we develop the habit of looking for multiple methods, using both knowledge and improvisation (即兴创作), and refusing to give up. Curious people ask more and better questions: What else might explain this? What other methods could work? Doing so helps open up alternative strategies and leads to creative, successful solutions. Curiosity also strengthens relationships and emotional intelligence. I’ve always been curious about how my communication affects the people I interact with. I ask questions and genuinely listen to them. ____18____. For example, in chats with friends or co-workers, I often ask about their feelings and views. This shows care and gives me useful insights into their experiences. Since curiosity benefits us in different ways, it’s necessary to learn how to develop it. One simple yet powerful way is asking questions. When we are faced with a problem or new information, repeatedly ask “why” to dig deeper into the subject. Use open-ended questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”, like “What do you think about this?” or “How does this work?” ____19____ Tonight, give yourself three minutes; look at your phone battery and ask, “Why does it drop faster when I’m outside in winter?” Don’t search online. Just think about it. You don’t need to become a chemist. ____20____. Tomorrow it might push you to open a science blog, ask your teacher, or even sign up for a science club and build a better power pack. A. Just keep that question alive B. Curiosity makes us better problem solvers C. Such a remark seizes the essence of curiosity D. Curiosity grows when we step out of comfort zones E. Doing so enables me to connect with them more deeply F. Curiosity deeply impacts personal and professional relationships G. Such questions lead to more detailed responses and further exploration 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. E 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了好奇心本质、积极作用以及培养好奇心的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“The genius, Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.”(天才阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦曾说过：“我没有什么特殊的才能，不过是有着极其强烈的好奇心罢了。”)”引用了爱因斯坦关于好奇心的名言；选项C“Such a remark seizes the essence of curiosity(这番话道出了好奇心的本质。)”承上启下，衔接名言和后文对好奇心内涵的阐述。故选C。 【17题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。下文“When we approach challenges with genuine interest, we develop the habit of looking for multiple methods, using both knowledge and improvisation (即兴创作), and refusing to give up. Curious people ask more and better questions: What else might explain this?(当我们带着真正的兴趣面对挑战时，会养成主动寻找多种解决方法的习惯，既善用已有知识，又懂得灵活变通，并且不轻言放弃。拥有好奇心的人会提出更多、更有深度的问题：还有哪些原因能解释这一现象？)”指出要带着好奇心应对挑战，会主动寻找多种解决方法、提出深度问题，最终找到有创意的解决方案。也就是说，本段主要讲述了好奇心有助于解决问题。选项B“Curiosity makes us better problem solvers (好奇心能让我们成为更出色的问题解决者。)”概括了本段主旨。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文“I’ve always been curious about how my communication affects the people I interact with. I ask questions and genuinely listen to them. (我总是好奇自己的沟通方式会对交往对象产生怎样的影响。我会主动发问，并真心实意地倾听他们的回答。)”提到，作者对自己的沟通如何影响他人充满好奇，会主动提问并认真倾听。选项E“Doing so enables me to connect with them more deeply (这样做能让我与他们建立更深层次的联结。)”中的“doing so”代指前文的“提问 + 倾听”，且自然引出下文。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“Use open-ended questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”, like “What do you think about this?” or “How does this work?”(多提出一些无法用简单的“是”或“否”来回答的开放式问题，比如“你怎么看待这件事？”或者“这背后的原理是什么？”)”建议用开放性问题来培养好奇心。选项G“Such questions lead to more detailed responses and further exploration(这类问题能引出更详尽的回答，推动进一步的探索。)”承接上文内容，说明了这类问题的作用。其中的“such questions”指代前文的开放式问题，且符合通过提问深化好奇心的逻辑。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“Tonight, give yourself three minutes; look at your phone battery and ask, “Why does it drop faster when I’m outside in winter?” Don’t search online. Just think about it. You don’t need to become a chemist. (今晚，不妨给自己三分钟时间：看看你的手机电量，然后问自己：“为什么冬天在户外时，手机电量掉得更快？”先别急着上网搜索答案，只是认真思考一下。你不必因此成为一名化学家。)”建议花三分钟思考手机电池冬天掉电快的原因，不要上网搜，只是思考。选项A“Just keep that question alive (只需让这个疑问一直留在心里。)”承接前文的思考任务，且与后文“Tomorrow it might push you to open a science blog, ask your teacher, or even sign up for a science club and build a better power pack.(或许明天，这个问题就会促使你点开一个科普博客，向老师请教，甚至报名参加科技社团，动手制作一个性能更优的充电宝。)”指出的这个问题可能会促使你开科技博客、请教老师的结果衔接自然。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The invention of the printing press made books widely available, which expanded education and knowledge.

The treatment was full of pains and sufferings, but he never thought of giving up and fought like a lion. Still, the cancer wouldn’t leave him. A doctor told him his only remaining option was a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植). Stem cells can be used to take on various dangerous diseases, including blood cancer. Rocky asked about his chance of survival. He was told it was fifty-fifty, assuming doctors could find someone who was a match. His family members got tested. None matched. Two stem cell registry events were then held near his hometown, which attracted a total of about 3,000 people. Still, no luck. At least these events were not only for him; 20 people who were tested were later found to be suitable donors for other people. Then his doctor told him somebody had turned up in the United States, who might be a match for him. Tingle was working as a dental nurse and, at the time, was preparing for a marathon. She was 54 years old, well beyond what is often considered the best age for stem cell donation. A year earlier, she got tested to help a local boy battling a rare form of blood cancer. She wasn’t a match. Recently, her test results were noticed in the database by Rocky’s treatment team who found that, after repeated disappointments and a search of the whole world, she appeared to be a perfect match for Rocky. As the news reached Rocky’s family, a wave of hope washed over them. They had been through so much together, and the thought that a stranger halfway across the world could be Rocky’s savior was nothing short of a miracle. But would she donate? 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答。 The family decided to have a try and contact Tingle _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, Rocky made a full recovery and wrote Tingle a letter. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 The family decided to have a try and contact Tingle. With trembling hands, Rocky’s mother dialed the number, her heart pounding with anticipation. When Tingle answered, her voice was warm and kind. After explaining Rocky’s situation, there was a brief silence on the line. Then, Tingle said without hesitation, “I’ll do it. I want to help.” Tears of joy streamed down Rocky’s mother’s face as she conveyed the good news to the rest of the family. Tingle soon underwent further tests and the family waited anxiously for the big day. Months later, Rocky made a full recovery and wrote Tingle a letter. “Dear Tingle,” he began, “your selfless act has given me a second chance at life. I’ll forever be grateful for your kindness and bravery. You’ve shown me the incredible power of human compassion. I hope one day I can pay it forward and help someone in need just like you did for me.” With the letter sent, Rocky looked forward to the day when he could meet his hero in person. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了身患血癌的19岁少年Rocky在历经艰难治疗无果后，将希望寄托于干细胞移植，然而家人配型失败，家乡举办的干细胞登记活动也未找到合适供体。就在绝望之际，远在美国的54岁牙科护士Tingle，尽管已超出通常认为的干细胞捐赠最佳年龄，且此前为帮助当地患罕见血癌男孩的配型也未成功，但她的检测结果却与Rocky完美匹配。这一消息给Rocky一家带来了希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这家人决定试一试，于是联系了Tingle。”可知，第一段可描写Rocky的家人决定联系Tingle后，双方通话的过程以及Tingle毫不犹豫答应捐赠，随后进行进一步检测，家人焦急等待移植日的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个月后，Rocky完全康复了，并给Tingle写了一封信。”可知，第二段可描写Rocky数月后完全康复，给救命恩人Tingle写信表达感激之情，并期待未来能与她当面致谢的情景。 2.续写线索：拨电话——Tingle答应帮忙——传达消息——接受检测——感谢信的内容——盼望 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拨电话：dial the number/make a phone call ②传达：convey/deliver ③经历：undergo/go through 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight ②焦急地：anxiously/eagerly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tears of joy streamed down Rocky’s mother’s face as she conveyed the good news to the rest of the family.

B As a child growing up in Albuquerque, Adeline Murthy spent countless afternoons walking through the bush, the cottonwood forest that lines the Rio Grande. “I studied biology because of the experiences in the natural world around the Rio Grande,” she says. Today, she channels that early love into her work as a planner for Santa Fe County, where she helps protect and restore open spaces along the river. But Adeline doesn’t just rely on maps and models; she listens to the community, to the locals. In Santa Fe County, Adeline has led wetland restoration efforts that improve water flow and soil health and make space for life to return. Input from the surrounding community plays a role. Besides, when there are tools like a flow device — a pipe fixed through a beaver (河狸) dam that controls water levels to prevent flooding while allowing beavers to stay — and protective cages for trees which stop greedy beavers, strife between humans and nature’s ecosystem can be avoided. For Adeline, freshwater restoration is not judged merely by engineering figures such as the flow volume or the degree to which water quality has improved. Her highest priority is the way that reappearing animals and people share the restored landscape: cranes (鹤) feeding in the shallows, beavers rebuilding homes, and at the same time, local families walking, fishing or simply enjoying the riverbank alongside them. Beavers and humans sharing space requires ongoing work and continuous adaptation. When beavers live in human inhabited areas, there might be issues with human infrastructure (基础设施) that requires adaptation and management. It’s not always simple, but there have been payoffs. “We had an amazing experience in 2022 where we spotted fireflies here for the first time in decades,” Adeline recalls. 4. Why did Adeline study biology? A. Because of the lost open spaces. B. Because of the ruined Rio Grande. C. Because of her passion for nature. D. Because of her role in the community. 5. What does the underlined word “strife” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Difference. B. Harmony. C. Competition. D. Conflict. 6. What does Adeline value most to assess freshwater restoration? A. The appearance of rare species. B. The water-quality improvement. C. The volume of the freshwater flow. D. The human-wildlife coexistence. 7. What does the return of fireflies symbolize? A. The recovery of human habitats. B. The importance of wild animals. C. The positive impact of restoration. D. The completion of Adeline’s work. C For many, fitness trackers have become essential tools for monitoring how many calories they’ve burned in a day. But for those being overweight, who are known to exhibit differences in the walking pattern, speed, energy burned and more, these devices often underestimate or overestimate actual activity. People with obesity (肥胖) could gain major health insights from activity trackers, but most current devices miss the mark. Current activity-monitoring algorithms(算法) that fitness trackers use are built for people without overweight. Waist-worn trackers often misread energy burn because of walking pattern changes and device tipping in people with higher body weight. Now, a new algorithm has been developed, which enables smartwatches to more accurately monitor the calories burned by people being overweight. The technology bridges a critical gap in fitness technology, said Nabil Alshurafa, whose HABits Lab created and tested the algorithm specifically tuned for people being overweight. They put the algorithm on the web so that any scientist can download it and run the same tests. In this way, others can check the results, point out any weak parts, and add new ideas. Their next step is to launch an activity-monitoring app later this year that will be available for smart phone use. “Without an effective algorithm for wrist devices, we would still be in the dark about exactly how much activity and energy people with obesity really get each day — slowing our ability to tailor measures and improve health outcomes,” Alshurafa said. By using data from fitness trackers, the new algorithm compares to gold-standard methods of measuring energy burn and can estimate how much energy someone with obesity is using every minute, achieving over 95% accuracy in real-world situations. This advancement makes it easier for more people with obesity to track their daily activities and energy use. We regard “standard” workouts as the ultimate test, but those standards leave out so many people. We must rethink how gyms,trackers and exercise programs measure success — so no one’s hard work goes unseen. 8. What problem do current fitness trackers have? A. They’re bad at recording walking styles. B. They’re inaccurate for overweight users. C. They all underestimate people’s movement. D. They use algorithms for limited exercises. 9. Why did the lab release the new algorithm as an open one? A. To encourage further improvement. B. To promote much wider application. C. To contribute to scientists’ new ideas. D. To compete with existent algorithms. 10. What does the author suggest about “standard” workouts? A. Doing ultimate tests. B. Measuring hard work. C. Employing diverse data. D. Including more people. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Obesity Defeats Most Fitness Trackers B. A Better Algorithm for Heavier Bodies C. A New App for Counting Energy Burn D. Overweight People Face New Challenges D A cyclist, biking through traffic on a downtown street, suddenly turned to the right. Then a passer-by was knocked down. Later, when the police interviewed witnesses, their accounts differed. “She just stepped right into the bike route while texting,” one man said. “No way,” a woman spoke sharply. “That guy was flying — he didn’t even slow down.” Two viewpoints. One event. This isn’t just about attention or memory; it reflects how human minds are wired. From an evolutionary aspect, variation in thought is a strength. Natural selection does not only favor physical characteristics but also shapes cognitive (认知的) diversity. Our ancestors faced various challenges. Those who could interpret situations differently from others sometimes survived when the majority made mistakes. That variation in thought often meant the difference between survival and death. If everyone in a population reacts to threats identically, a shared blind spot could destroy the group completely. Cognitive diversity prevents danger sometimes and boosts the likelihood that someone will respond effectively to adapt and survive various challenges. Our visual system does not record reality like a camera; instead, it interprets sensory input,influenced by expectations, past experiences, and emotional states. Two people can watch the same scene but “see” differently because their brains emphasize different details. The brain constructs reality using “predictions” based on previous encounters. These mental models prepare us to respond quickly but also introduce bias into our perceptions. Humans require a shared baseline of reality to function as societies. However, even this is subject to negotiation. Disagreements over facts may seem functional, but they enable us to argue, reflect, and innovate. Our disagreements are not mere noise —they are how new ideas emerge and old assumptions are tested. We live in an era characterized by division and widespread misinformation. It is easy to perceive those disagreeing with us as unfriendly. However, in many cases, they just view the world in a different way. Instead of demanding sameness, we should appreciate constructive disagreement. It’s not a threat — it’s the engine that encourages us to think, adapt, and move forward. 12. Why is the bicycle accident presented at the beginning? A. To collect information from witnesses. B. To stress the importance of road safety. C. To prove seeing isn’t exactly believing. D. To show people don’t all think the same. 13. How does cognitive diversity enhance group survival? A. By reducing the risks. B. By selecting the fittest. C. By preventing mistakes. D. By drawing rapid responses. 14. Which of the following contributes to the biased perception? A. Poor memory. B. Subjective judgement. C Complex details. D. Groundless predictions. 15. What does the author view disagreement as? A. A danger to society. B. A boost to the sameness. C. A driver of progress. D. A result of misinformation. 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。 Everyone has curiosity. The genius, Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” ____16____ a born drive to learn, explore, and make sense of the world. Curiosity motivates us to question assumptions, encounter new perspectives, and tolerate uncertainty. ____17____. When we approach challenges with genuine interest, we develop the habit of looking for multiple methods, using both knowledge and improvisation (即兴创作), and refusing to give up. Curious people ask more and better questions: What else might explain this? What other methods could work? Doing so helps open up alternative strategies and leads to creative, successful solutions. Curiosity also strengthens relationships and emotional intelligence. I’ve always been curious about how my communication affects the people I interact with. I ask questions and genuinely listen to them. ____18____. For example, in chats with friends or co-workers, I often ask about their feelings and views. This shows care and gives me useful insights into their experiences. Since curiosity benefits us in different ways, it’s necessary to learn how to develop it. One simple yet powerful way is asking questions. When we are faced with a problem or new information, repeatedly ask “why” to dig deeper into the subject. Use open-ended questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”, like “What do you think about this?” or “How does this work?” ____19____ Tonight, give yourself three minutes; look at your phone battery and ask, “Why does it drop faster when I’m outside in winter?” Don’t search online. Just think about it. You don’t need to become a chemist. ____20____. Tomorrow it might push you to open a science blog, ask your teacher, or even sign up for a science club and build a better power pack. A. Just keep that question alive B. Curiosity makes us better problem solvers C. Such a remark seizes the essence of curiosity D. Curiosity grows when we step out of comfort zones E.

The treatment was full of pains and sufferings, but he never thought of giving up and fought like a lion. Still, the cancer wouldn’t leave him. A doctor told him his only remaining option was a stem cell transplant (干细胞移植). Stem cells can be used to take on various dangerous diseases, including blood cancer. Rocky asked about his chance of survival. He was told it was fifty-fifty, assuming doctors could find someone who was a match. His family members got tested. None matched. Two stem cell registry events were then held near his hometown, which attracted a total of about 3,000 people. Still, no luck. At least these events were not only for him; 20 people who were tested were later found to be suitable donors for other people. Then his doctor told him somebody had turned up in the United States, who might be a match for him. Tingle was working as a dental nurse and, at the time, was preparing for a marathon. She was 54 years old, well beyond what is often considered the best age for stem cell donation. A year earlier, she got tested to help a local boy battling a rare form of blood cancer. She wasn’t a match. Recently, her test results were noticed in the database by Rocky’s treatment team who found that, after repeated disappointments and a search of the whole world, she appeared to be a perfect match for Rocky. As the news reached Rocky’s family, a wave of hope washed over them. They had been through so much together, and the thought that a stranger halfway across the world could be Rocky’s savior was nothing short of a miracle. But would she donate? 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答。 The family decided to have a try and contact Tingle. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, Rocky made a full recovery and wrote Tingle a letter. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
