B.A wildlife report C.A biology textbook. D.An adventure blog B I admit that I didn't give the topic of rest much thought until my body forced me to slow down.For the first time in my life,rest was not a choice but something I had to accept.I stayed in bed with medicine and my phone nearby,assuming that lying still meant I was resting.When I began to feel slightly better,I got up to do a few basic chores, only to be very quickly wiped out.That was the moment I figured out that resting to recover would require a great deal more time spent laying around than I had expected. So back to bed I went,where I scrolled ()texted,and checked my phone like normally would,without thinking twice about it.Yet,I still felt unwell.In looking for information on how to feel better,I came across an articie that included a curious piece of advice:everyday "thinking"activities,such as checking emails,planning shopping and making decisions,also use energy.It was a genuine light-bulb moment.I had never considered that resting for my health was not the same as simply relaxing in my downtime. While rest can feel like one of those"I know it when I see it"concepts,I would argue that many of us don't.Rest isn't limited to being physically in bed or taking a short break. If your body is still but your mind is racing-running through long to-do lists or things you feel you"should"be doing-you are not meaningfully resting.Mental effort,after all,is some of our most energetically demanding work. Over time,it became clear to me that resting isn't as easy as it sounds.If you grew up CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP in an environment where rcst was scen as something for lazy people,or if it was seen as something that was not productive.then the thought of rest can set off anxiety.Yet rest is not a luxury.It is a neccssary responsc to anything that wears the body down,from evcryday stress to long-term cxhaustion. Now.I sec rest as an activo process--onc that requires listening to the body and responding with care.True rest is not jazincss.It is an experiencc of balance,of harmony betwcen what we feel,what we do,and what we nced. 24.What did the author assumic rest to be? A.Emotional easc. B.Physical stillness. C.Chore avoidance. D.Personal entertainment. 25.What docs the underlined phrase"a genuine light-bulb moment"in paragraph 2 refer to? A.A sense of relicf. B.A flash of curiosity. C.A rise in frustration D.A shift in understanding 26.Which of the following disagrees with the author's idea of"meaningful rest"? A.Lying down with soft music. B.Sleeping after doing housework C.Sitting still and planning your to-do list. D.Taking a walk without thinking about tasks. 27.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To emphasize the need of rest. B.To warn against risks of overwork C.To challenge her misconception of rest. D.To share her journey of improving health. C A group of giraffes moves elegantly across a wide-open Kenyan plain.Their long necks stretch high,swinging gently with each graceful step.The sun bathes the landscape in a golden colour,casting long shadows over the grass.In the distance.the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro rises grandly against the sky. What has led to giraffes'extraordinary shape?According to Charles Darwin,the neck of 1.8 m benefits them by allowing them to out-reach shorter-necked competitors to feed on green leaves in tall trees;it has become a classic example of evolutionary theory.But C③扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP the research from East Africa showed that tall giraffes frcquently feed from low-growing bushes and eat faster and morc rcgularly at low hcights.This is a surprise for Darwin's feeding competition idca. Giraftes invest a lot in neck growth.Malcs continuc to grow their necks into old age (about 28).well past the time femalcs stop (around the age of 8).At last,malcs have long and strong necks,which they usc to show ofT beforc femalcs as well as fight against enemics.It secms that their necks are more notably uscd as wcapons than for feeding. Is the neck a result of evolution?The answer should date back to their ancestors.In 2022.a group of experts led by a Chinesc biologist uncovered one of the smallest known giraffe fossils.This ancient animal,standing about 1.2m tall,showed a short but strengthened neck and a horned head.That was the carliest known shape of giraffes ever found.They lived some 16.9 million years ago! Today's giraffes are much larger,with necks longer and horns dramatically reduced. With the necks they can not only eat higher and lower.spot danger earlier,but fight with more power.These ali contribute to their survival.Darwin is right.Watching the giraffes gracefully wander across the plain,I am once again in awe of the natural beauty shaped by the power of natural selection. 28.What is the purpose of mentioning the research from East Africa? A.To doubt an established theory. B.To offer an additional example. C.To advocate for common sense. D.To support a questioned belief. 29.What does the author aim to stress about giraffes'neck growing in paragraph 3? A.The advantage of the males. B.The importance for survival. C.The relation with their ages. D.The difference between genders. 30.What is now the author's attitude towards Darwin's theory? A.He is well convinced. B.He is disapproving. C.He is more tolerant. D.He is still cautious. 31.Which can be the best title for the text? A.An Exception to Darwin's Theory. B.Giraffes and Their Neck Competition. C.The Problem of Giraffe Evolution. D.Nature's Perfect Design for Giraffes. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫猫App D Imagine a delicate Chinese festival lantern not made from paper,but from a smart polymer (that can change shape on command without motors or wires.This real-world creation from North Carolina State University researchers is a breakthrough redefining possibilities in materials science. At first glance,the polymer lantern seems simple.Yet within this delicate structure lies a world of complex physics.It is bistable-able to rest naturally in two stable shapes. One is its relaxed,lantern-like form:the other is a pressed,spinning-top-like shape.When pushed down,it slowly bends,storing energy until it suddenly turns into its second form. When released,the stored energy bursts free,turning it back instantly to its original lantern shape.This feature makes it programmable,as slight twists to its structure can predictably create a variety of shapes,unlocking its potential beyond a simple toy. But the real magic comes from how these transformations can be controlled from a distance.A magnetic film(磁性薄膜)attached to the structure's base allows it to move without physical contact.With this capability,the lantern becomes a dynamic device that can perform work,move and interact with its environment.Its potential is demonstrated by striking examples:a gentle holder to catch fish and a smart water flow controller- both powered only by the physics of the material itself. To fully understand and control this lantern's behavior,the team developed an advanced mathematical model to precisely program its shape,stability,and power."All of those factors are critical for creating shapes that can perform desired applications,"said one researcher. This research opens a new chapter for soft robotics,which seeks to replace hard components with flexible and intelligent materials.By combining multiple units,the researchers are looking ahead to new shape-changing surfaces or structures. At its heart,the research captures something poetic:the ability of matter to remember, adapt and move.The polymer Chinese lantern doesn't just shine-it breathes,it moves, and it teaches us that the boundary between living and engineered systems is growing thinner every day. 32.What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A.To show how the lantern is created B.To explain why the lantern is made. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫猫ApP C.To describe the shape of the lantern. D.To illustrate the lantern's working principle. 33.Why is a magnetic film attached to the lantern? A.To increase its stability. B.To control its shape-changing remotely. C.To give it a modern look. D.To allow it to store more energy. 34.Which of the following would be a possible application of the lantern structure? A.A motor-driven fishing boat B.A robot to transport heavy machines. C.A self-adjusting space solar panel. D.A board to keep broken bones in place. 35.What is the text mainly about? A.A soft robot that acts like life. B.An advanced mathematical model. C.A breakthrough in materials science. D.The potential applications of polymers. 第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 两项为多余选项。（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Our world faces a twofold challenge:feeding a population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 while minimizing environmental degradation.Precision agriculture (PA) emerges as a transformative solution.36 To put it precisely,it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices-from planting to harvesting.This data-driven approach promises not only higher yields but also greater sustainability,making it a cornerstone of modern food systems. One example is the use of drones equipped with multispectral sensors to monitor crop health.The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths.Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones.37 They can apply fertilizer,water,or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields. 38 High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers,particularly in low-income regions.Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems.39 Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion.Besides, collaborations between tech companies,universities,and farmers'cooperatives can help speed up innovation. CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫措猫ApP As climate change intensifies,PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns.Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can fecd future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth.40 In a world where every decision matters,there's no better time to embrace this revolution. A.PA is not without its challenges. B.It functions as a one-size-fits-all approach C.To overcome these challenges,joint efforts are needed D.Using the information,farmers can make focused decisions. E.It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming F.By making data-dependent decisions,farmers can improye productivity. G.In essence,PA isn't just about growing more:it's about growing smarter. 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第节完形填空（共15小题：每题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中，选出可以填 入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I thought I was ready to let go of possessions at the garage sale in my childhood home.My bedroom set was 41,but a woman only wanted the tiny rocking chair with a "Rock-a-bye Baby"music box.I'd spent countless 42 hours there, singing sweet songs to my beloved dolls.Mom sold it for $2,yet once the woman 43,a pang of regret hit-I knew I had to 44it.
