The sales pitches tempt: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right? After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost $15 all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work?
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科专家) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is blue light at night: It contains the release of melatonin. “Melatonin helps regulate our circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz.
So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Australian researchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases.
“These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz, But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz suggests taking breaks and using lubricating eye drops.
22. What is Dr. Esparaz’s attitude toward business publicity?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
23. What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs?
A. It can be beneficial. B. It may facilitate sleep.
C. It actually causes health issues. D. It merely comes from digital devices.
24. Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses .
A. helps prevent eye disease B. are not harmful to eyesight
C. contributes to no less eye strain D. benefits those with sleep disorders
25. What might be the best title of this passage?
A. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Your Best Choice
B. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Good or Bad
C. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: A Good Business
D. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Smart and Cool

Heman Bekele, a 14-year-old student from Annandale, Virginia, has created a bar soap (肥皂) to treat melanoma, the most common kind of skin cancer, which earned him the title of America’s Top Young Scientist and a $25,000 cash prize after his innovation won first place in the 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
“I made this soap by mixing regular medicinal soap with different cancer fighting chemicals.” Bekele said in an interview. Rather than a cure, Bekele’s soap aims to help the patient’s immune cells stay active while fighting melanoma.
While similar methods are available for skin cancer treatments, his solution is a more affordable alternative, especially for those in developing countries. Though the product is very promising on paper, studies would have to be carried out to test its efficiency in the real world.
For now, the young scientist said he has a five-year plan: At the end of it, he hopes to have created a nonprofit organization where he can provide fair and accessible skin cancer treatment to as many people as possible. But to accomplish his goal, he would have to get his treatment through clinical trials, obtain a temporary patent and have it licensed by the Food and Drug Administration, he said.
“I applied for the 3M Young Scientist Challenge because I believe that young minds can make a positive impact on the world,” Bekele said. “I have always been interested in biology and technology, and this challenge gave me the perfect platform to showcase my ideas. The opportunity to work with 3M mentors and show my project to judges was an exciting prospect. I am passionate about finding sustainable solutions to global problems, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.”
26. Why does Bekele invent the bar soap?
A. To deal with a kind of skin cancer.
B. To reduce the cost of making soap.
C. To change people’s immune system.
D. To complete the task for 3M challenge.
27. What aspect of the soap does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Its making process. B. Its working method.
C. Its advantage. D. Its development.
28. What is Bekele’s next plan for his invention?
A. To create a company.
B. To get approval by the authority.
C. To promote the soap in the market.
D. To work with a nonprofit organization.
29. Which of the following can best describe Bekele?
A. Innovative and ambitious. B. Inspiring and tolerant.
C. Honest and accessible. D. Energetic and thoughtful.
D
The multitalented, Renaissance genius Leonardo da vinci over 500 years ago wrote down his “rule of trees”, which described the way he thought that trees branch. Though it was a brilliant insight that helped him to draw realistic landscapes, Leonardo’s rule breaks down for many types of trees. Now, a new branching rule — nicknamed “Leonardo-like” — works for virtually any leafy tree.
“The older Leonardo rule describes the thickness of the branches, while the length of the branch was not taken into account,” says physicist Sergey Grigoriev. “Therefore, the description using the older rule is not complete.” Leonardo’s rule says that the thickness of a limb before it branches into smaller ones is the same as the combined thickness of the limbs sprouting from it.
However, according to Grigoriev and his colleagues, it’s the surface area that stays the same. Using surface area as a guide, the new rule incorporates limb widths and lengths, and predicts that long branches end up being thinner than short ones. Unlike Leonardo’s guess, the updated rule works well when the team checks slim birches (桦树) as well as strong oaks.
To test their rule, the research team took photographs of trees from a variety of species and analyzed the branches to confirm that the real-world patterns matched the predictions. The photos offer “a direct measurement of the characteristics of a tree without touching it, which can be important when dealing with a living object,” Grigoriev says. Though the team hasn’t studied evergreens yet, the rule holds for all of the deciduous trees that the researchers have looked at.
While it’s possible to confirm the rule by measuring branches by hand, it would require climbing into trees and checking all the limbs — a risky exercise for trees and scientists alike. “Note,” the researchers write, “that not a single tree was harmed during these experiments.”
30. What does the Leonardo’s rule of trees focus on?
A. How tree branches may grow. B. What environment trees need.
C. How trees can be drawn better. D. What landscapes trees can form.
31. Why are birches and oaks mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To state the correctness of the new rule. B. To present Leonardo’s influential works.
C. To compare the features of different trees. D. To show the popularity of Leonardo’s rule.
32. How did the researchers prove the new rule?
A. By applying it to various trees. B. By conducting on-site inspection.
C. By analyzing pictures of branches. D. By measuring real branches directly.
33. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Further experiments are required. B. The protection of trees is stressed.
C. Risky accidents happened in the study. D. Trees were damaged in the experiments.

65. 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。
Sarah had always dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream.

So how did you get into acting? I'd never considered IT. I studied literature at university, but I was never involved in any drama clubs. After graduation, I was employed by a comedy producer, and I just went from there. You grew up in canada. How was that . great for my brother's sports with their priority at weekends? I was the only one of them who is interested in the cinema, but I wasn't the sort of fan with posters all over the wall. What would you have done if you hadn't become an actor? My dad is a police officer. My mother is a doctor. Even so, neither these jobs appeals to me. My elder brother has an import export company, and I guess I would be a partner. Thank you, Martin. 听力部分到此结束。

The sales pitches tempt: Blue-light-blocking glasses are supposed to protect eyes from the effects of short-wavelength light emitting from our smartphones, computer screens and LED lights. Given how much time we spend on our devices, this sounds like a smart investment, right? After all, eye strain is a real issue and can lead to poor sleep and even eye diseases. The glasses can cost $15 all the way up to several hundred dollars. But do they work?
Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科专家) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. For starters, blue light is not just about tech devices, and it’s not always bad. “The sun emits a much higher intensity of blue light than human-made devices, of course, and it’s actually beneficial,” says Dr. Esparaz. It helps our mood, alertness and sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is blue light at night: It contains the release of melatonin. “Melatonin helps regulate our circadian rhythms (生理节奏) and makes us sleepy,” says Dr. Esparaz.
So, in theory, wearing blue-light-blocking glasses should help people who watch movies in bed or read from a tablet at night avoid sleeplessness. A 2021 review study from the University of Oklahoma that looked at 24 previous studies found that people affected by sleep disorders, jet lag and shift work fell asleep faster after using these glasses.
As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. And a 2018 review study, also by Australian researchers, found insufficient evidence that they prevent certain eye diseases.
“These glasses aren’t going to be harmful,” says Dr. Esparaz, But, she adds, a lack of standardization in the industry means there’s no way to know if one pair is better than another. A more reliable solution: Turn on the blue-light-filtering function on your devices and limit screen time before bed. To help with eye strain, Dr. Esparaz suggests taking breaks and using lubricating eye drops.
22. What is Dr. Esparaz’s attitude toward business publicity?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
23. What can we learn about blue light from the first two paragraphs?
A. It can be beneficial. B. It may facilitate sleep.
C. It actually causes health issues. D. It merely comes from digital devices.
24. Australian studies found that wearing blue-light-blocking glasses .
A. helps prevent eye disease B. are not harmful to eyesight
C. contributes to no less eye strain D. benefits those with sleep disorders
25. What might be the best title of this passage?
A. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Your Best Choice
B. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Good or Bad
C. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: A Good Business
D. Blue-light-blocking Glasses: Smart and Cool
【答案】22. D 23. A 24. C 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了虽然制造商声称防蓝光眼镜可以保护眼睛,但实际上其中的科学知识可能令人困惑。文章指出,蓝光并不总是坏的,问题在于夜间的蓝光会干扰褪黑激素的释放,可能导致失眠。在缓解眼睛疲劳和预防眼病方面,目前还没有足够的证据表明这些眼镜的有效性。文章提醒读者,行业缺乏标准化,因此无法确定一副眼镜是否比另一副更好,建议用更可靠的方式来解决问题。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Elizabeth Esparaz, an ophthalmologist (眼科专家) based in Cleveland, Ohio, says the science that manufacturers share as they promote these glasses can be confusing. (俄亥俄州克利夫兰市的眼科医生Elizabeth Esparaz表示,制造商在推广这些眼镜时分享的科学可能令人困惑)”可知,Esparaz医生认为制造商推广中的科学令人困惑。由此推知,她对商业宣传持怀疑态度。故选D项。

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“As for eye strain, a 2021 Australian study showed that those wearing the glasses did not experience less eye strain than those using clear glasses. (至于眼睛疲劳,2021年澳大利亚的一项研究表明,戴这些眼镜的人不会比戴透明眼镜的人感到更少的眼睛疲劳)”可知,澳大利亚的研究发现,戴防蓝光眼镜并不会减少眼疲劳。故选C项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“But do they work? (但它们有效吗)”可知,文章围绕防蓝光眼镜是否有效的问题展开,指出制造商宣传使用的科学知识可能令人困惑,蓝光并不总是坏的,问题在于夜间的蓝光会干扰褪黑激素的释放,可能导致失眠。在缓解眼睛疲劳和预防眼病方面,目前还没有足够的证据表明这些眼镜的有效性。文章提醒读者,行业缺乏标准化,因此无法确定一副眼镜是否比另一副更好,建议用更可靠的方式来解决问题。由此可知,B项“防蓝光眼镜:好还是坏”契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

Heman Bekele, a 14-year-old student from Annandale, Virginia, has created a bar soap (肥皂) to treat melanoma, the most common kind of skin cancer, which earned him the title of America’s Top Young Scientist and a $25,000 cash prize after his innovation won first place in the 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
“I made this soap by mixing regular medicinal soap with different cancer fighting chemicals.” Bekele said in an interview. Rather than a cure, Bekele’s soap aims to help the patient’s immune cells stay active while fighting melanoma.
While similar methods are available for skin cancer treatments, his solution is a more affordable alternative, especially for those in developing countries. Though the product is very promising on paper, studies would have to be carried out to test its efficiency in the real world.
For now, the young scientist said he has a five-year plan: At the end of it, he hopes to have created a nonprofit organization where he can provide fair and accessible skin cancer treatment to as many people as possible. But to accomplish his goal, he would have to get his treatment through clinical trials, obtain a temporary patent and have it licensed by the Food and Drug Administration, he said.
“I applied for the 3M Young Scientist Challenge because I believe that young minds can make a positive impact on the world,” Bekele said. “I have always been interested in biology and technology, and this challenge gave me the perfect platform to showcase my ideas. The opportunity to work with 3M mentors and show my project to judges was an exciting prospect. I am passionate about finding sustainable solutions to global problems, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.”
26. Why does Bekele invent the bar soap?
A. To deal with a kind of skin cancer.
B. To reduce the cost of making soap.
C. To change people’s immune system.
D. To complete the task for 3M challenge.
27. What aspect of the soap does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Its making process. B. Its working method.
C. Its advantage. D. Its development.
28. What is Bekele’s next plan for his invention?
A. To create a company.
B. To get approval by the authority.
C. To promote the soap in the market.
D. To work with a nonprofit organization.
29. Which of the following can best describe Bekele?
A. Innovative and ambitious. B. Inspiring and tolerant.
C. Honest and accessible. D. Energetic and thoughtful.
【答案】26. A 27. C 28. B 29. A
【解析】

Though the product is very promising on paper, studies would have to be carried out to test its efficiency in the real world. (虽然类似的方法也可用于皮肤癌治疗,但他的解决方案是一种更实惠的替代方案,特别是对发展中国家的人来说。虽然该产品在纸面上很有前景,但还需要进行研究以测试其在现实世界中的效率。)”可知,第3段主要谈论肥皂的优势。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“But to accomplish his goal, he would have to get his treatment through clinical trials, obtain a temporary patent and have it licensed by the Food and Drug Administration, he said. (但他说,为了实现他的目标,他必须让他的治疗方法通过临床试验,获得临时专利,并获得美国食品和药物管理局的许可。)”可知,贝克勒的下一个计划是得到当局的批准。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“I have always been interested in biology and technology, and this challenge gave me the perfect platform to showcase my ideas. The opportunity to work with 3M mentors and show my project to judges was an exciting prospect. I am passionate about finding sustainable solutions to global problems, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.

The multitalented, Renaissance genius Leonardo da vinci over 500 years ago wrote down his “rule of trees”, which described the way he thought that trees branch. Though it was a brilliant insight that helped him to draw realistic landscapes, Leonardo’s rule breaks down for many types of trees. Now, a new branching rule — nicknamed “Leonardo-like” — works for virtually any leafy tree.
“The older Leonardo rule describes the thickness of the branches, while the length of the branch was not taken into account,” says physicist Sergey Grigoriev. “Therefore, the description using the older rule is not complete.” Leonardo’s rule says that the thickness of a limb before it branches into smaller ones is the same as the combined thickness of the limbs sprouting from it.
However, according to Grigoriev and his colleagues, it’s the surface area that stays the same. Using surface area as a guide, the new rule incorporates limb widths and lengths, and predicts that long branches end up being thinner than short ones. Unlike Leonardo’s guess, the updated rule works well when the team checks slim birches (桦树) as well as strong oaks.
To test their rule, the research team took photographs of trees from a variety of species and analyzed the branches to confirm that the real-world patterns matched the predictions. The photos offer “a direct measurement of the characteristics of a tree without touching it, which can be important when dealing with a living object,” Grigoriev says. Though the team hasn’t studied evergreens yet, the rule holds for all of the deciduous trees that the researchers have looked at.
While it’s possible to confirm the rule by measuring branches by hand, it would require climbing into trees and checking all the limbs — a risky exercise for trees and scientists alike. “Note,” the researchers write, “that not a single tree was harmed during these experiments.”
30. What does the Leonardo’s rule of trees focus on?
A. How tree branches may grow. B. What environment trees need.
C. How trees can be drawn better. D. What landscapes trees can form.
31. Why are birches and oaks mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To state the correctness of the new rule. B. To present Leonardo’s influential works.
C. To compare the features of different trees. D. To show the popularity of Leonardo’s rule.
32. How did the researchers prove the new rule?
A. By applying it to various trees. B. By conducting on-site inspection.
C. By analyzing pictures of branches. D. By measuring real branches directly.
33. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Further experiments are required. B. The protection of trees is stressed.
C. Risky accidents happened in the study. D. Trees were damaged in the experiments.
【答案】30. C 31. A 32. C 33. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种“达・芬奇式”的树木分支枝规则,指出旧规则的缺点以及新规则的正确性。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The multitalented, Renaissance genius Leonardo da vinci over 500 years ago wrote down his “rule of trees”, which described the way he thought that trees branch. Though it was a brilliant insight that helped him to draw realistic landscapes, Leonardo’s rule breaks down for many types of trees. (500多年前,多才多艺的文艺复兴天才列奥纳多·达·芬奇写下了他的“树木法则”,描述了他认为树木的分支方式。虽然这是一个聪明的洞察力,帮助他画出了逼真的风景,但列奥纳多的规则在许多类型的树木中都不适用)”可知,列奥纳多的树木法则关注的是如何更好地画树。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, according to Grigoriev and his colleagues, it’s the surface area that stays the same. Using surface area as a guide, the new rule incorporates limb widths and lengths, and predicts that long branches end up being thinner than short ones. Unlike Leonardo’s guess, the updated rule works well when the team checks slim birches (桦树) as well as strong oaks.(然而,根据格里戈里耶夫和他的同事的说法,是表面积保持不变。以表面面积为指导,新规则结合了树枝的宽度和长度,并预测长树枝最终会比短树枝更细。与莱昂纳多的猜测不同,更新后的规则在研究小组检查细桦树和强壮的橡树时都很有效)”可知,第三段提到了桦树和橡树是为了说明新规则的正确性。故选A。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“To test their rule, the research team took photographs of trees from a variety of species and analyzed the branches to confirm that the real-world patterns matched the predictions.(为了测试他们的规律,研究小组拍摄了各种树木的照片,并分析了树枝,以确认现实世界的模式与预测相符)”可知,研究人员通过分析树枝的图片证明这一新规则。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Note,” the researchers write, “that not a single tree was harmed during these experiments.”(“请注意,”研究人员写道,“在这些实验中没有一棵树受到伤害。”)”可推知,强调对树木的保护。故选B。

【答案】Dear Lucy,
I’m happy to tell you I got first prize in our school’s old object transformation competition last week!
My work was a lamp made of an old glass bottle and some used cloth. I painted the bottle blue with white star patterns, and sewed the cloth into a cover. It looks really nice when lit, casting soft star-shaped shadows.
The competition taught me to be creative and see value in old things. Old things aren’t useless — with a little creativity, we can reuse them, cut down on waste, and do our part for the planet. What a great experience it was!
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 (满分 25 分)
65. 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。
Sarah had always dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. After quickly assessing the situation, they approached the fox cautiously, bent down and talked softly to calm the frightened animal. Then the fox’s paw was carefully released from the trap. No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief. Sarah, watching the rescue unfold before her eyes, realized this was far more precious than any photograph she could have taken. Right then, Sarah decided to join the rescue team as a volunteer.
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. Profoundly moved by the fox incident, she committed herself to combining her passion for photography with her newfound mission. Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need. Her photos evolved to tell deeper stories — carrying both beauty and conservation. Little did she know that her decision to help that fox would transform her photography and her entire perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.
【解析】
