Everyone has heard that it’s vital to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Get anything less, and you are more likely to suffer from poor health in the short and long term. But in recent years, scientists have discovered a rare group of people who consistently get little shut-eye and are no worse for wear.
Natural short sleepers, as they are called, are genetically wired to need only four to six hours of sleep a night. These exceptions suggest that quality, not quantity, is what matters. If scientists could figure out what these people do differently, it might, they hope, provide insight into sleep’s very nature.
Ying-Hui Fu, a human geneticist and neuroscientist at UC San Francisco, recalls there is one family whose members woke up early but didn’t go to bed early, and felt refreshed after only about six hours of sleep. They were the first people identified with familial natural short sleep, a condition that runs in families like other genetic features. Fu and her colleague Ptaček thought the short sleep originated from a mutation (变异) in a gene called DEC2. The researchers went on to genetically engineer the DEC2 mutation into mice, showing that the animals need less sleep than their littermates.
Over time, the researchers have identified seven genes associated with natural short sleep. Like mice, people who are naturally short sleepers seem to be immune (免疫的) to the ill effects of short sleep. If anything, they do extraordinarily well. Research suggests that such people are ambitious, energetic and optimistic, with remarkable recoverability against stress and higher thresholds (阈值) for pain.
But though sleep has a strong genetic component, it can also be shaped by the environment. Knowing that better sleep is possible, and understanding the basis, could point the way to interventions to improve sleep, enabling more people to live longer, healthier lives.
24. What does the underlined part “no worse for wear” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Unharmed. B. Uncomfortable.
C. Abnormal. D. Exhausted.
25. What can we know about the mentioned family in paragraph 3?
A. They are early to bed and early to rise.
B. Their sleep quality depends on the quantity.
C. They are genetically built to require less sleep.
D. DEC2 is a decisive factor in their health condition.
26. What is the ultimate goal of this research?
A. To develop tools for editing sleep genes.
B. To improve sleep quality for better health.
C. To identify specific sleep-related genes.
D. To create universal sleep reduction programs.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Less Shut-Eye, Better Health
B. Sleep Quality and Gene Mutation
C. The ones Who Need Less Sleep
D. The Hidden Costs of Short Sleep
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。研究发现少数人因基因突变只需4-6小时睡眠且健康,科学家希望通过解码其机制改善大众睡眠质量。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词组上文“Everyone has heard that it’s vital to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Get anything less, and you are more likely to suffer from poor health in the short and long term. But in recent years, scientists have discovered a rare group of people who consistently get little shut-eye(每个人都听说过,每晚保证7到9小时的睡眠至关重要。睡眠时间少于这个范围的人,无论是短期内还是长期内,都更有可能出现健康问题。但近年来,科学家们发现了一群罕见的人,他们总是睡眠不足)”可知,一些罕见的人总是睡眠不足,结合下文“Natural short sleepers, as they are called, are genetically wired to need only four to six hours of sleep a night.(人们通常称这类人是“自然型短睡眠者”,他们天生就具备这样的生理特征:每晚只需睡4到6个小时即可)”可知,这类人是天生的少睡眠者,所以即使少睡也不会产生危害,划线词组与unharmed“未受损害的”意思相近。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Fu and her colleague Ptaček thought the short sleep originated from a mutation (变异) in a gene called DEC2. The researchers went on to genetically engineer the DEC2 mutation into mice, showing that the animals need less sleep than their littermates.(傅和她的同事帕塔切克认为这种短暂的睡眠现象是由一种名为DEC2的基因发生突变所导致的。随后,研究人员通过基因工程技术将DEC2基因的突变引入到小鼠体内,结果发现这些小鼠所需的睡眠时间比其同窝幼崽要短)”可知,第三段开头提到的家庭天生就具有较少需要睡眠,这是基因所致。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Knowing that better sleep is possible, and understanding the basis, could point the way to interventions to improve sleep, enabling more people to live longer, healthier lives.(既然我们知道改善睡眠是有可能的,并且也了解其背后的原理,那么这或许能为改善睡眠的干预措施提供方向,从而让更多人能够过上更长寿、更健康的生活)”可推知,这个研究最终是为了提高睡眠质量,从而促进身体健康。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“But in recent years, scientists have discovered a rare group of people who consistently get little shut-eye and are no worse for wear.(但近年来,科学家们发现了一群罕见的人群,他们几乎从不睡足觉,但却依然未受影响)”可知,本文介绍了研究发现,少数人因基因突变只需4-6小时睡眠且健康,科学家希望通过解码其机制改善大众睡眠质量。由此可知,C选项“那些需要较少睡眠的人”能够引出文章话题,并涵盖阐述研究意义,综合概括全文,为最佳标题。故选C。
C
I have always been a person that needed to have the time to explore or experience something before I could make personal meaning. I often found that without first-hand experiences, I would soon forget. And nature always helped me remember and make connections to other concepts and ideas.
Confucius’ saying “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” became clear to me through Dr. Bill Belzer. At the camp, he led us city kids — raised amid concrete, blacktop and little green space — on adventures. Every morning he would offer a stream hike, mud hike, or nature study of some sort. At first, I held back from joining him. However, when I saw the other campers returning from their outings happy and excited, I went to nature study because it seemed fun, and it was!
Every time I went to Belzer’s nature study, everyone was observing, touching, listening, so was our leader. With each discovery we made on the walk, new things would come to light, inspiring unexpected connections. Occasionally Bill would come over and say, “What do you see?” It was not planned, it was spontaneous (自发的) and we were attracted to this kind of play and exploration.
With this in the mind, I took the leap into this kind of learning by organising a stream stroll at the university where I taught.
Each undergraduate was assigned a group of about four or five first-grade children. And with a splash, we were all explorers. The undergraduates initially tried to guide the children to see specific things, but later found that the children had their own exploration directions, so they turned to follow the children’s rhythm and were shocked by this unplanned exploration.
Learning about nature and our earth, to make a personal connection, must be through involvement in something over time. That’s the proof: a lasting connection to nature and learning is formed not in classrooms, but in doing.
28. How did the author initially feel about joining Dr. Belzer’s nature study?
A. Cautious. B. Hesitant.
C. Prepared. D. Curious.
29. Why does the author mention Dr. Bill Belzer’s camp?
A. To recall a memorable childhood adventure.
B. To prove city kids lack exposure to nature.
C. To demonstrate learning through direct experience.
D. To present the figure of Dr. Bill Belzer.
30 What happened when the undergraduates freed the children?
A. The kids’ self-directed discoveries amazed them.
B. The undergraduates took over the role of guiding.
C. The children lost interest without clear direction.
D. The activity became chaotic and unproductive.
31. What is the author’s main argument in the text?
A. Teachers should receive training in outdoor education.
B. Lasting learning comes from personal involvement in doing.
C. Unplanned exploration is the best way for children to learn.
D. Nature study is more effective than classroom instruction.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者通过自身经历和实践活动,强调了通过直接体验和实践学习的重要性,认为持久的学习来自于个人参与实践。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“At first, I held back from joining him. (起初,我犹豫是否要加入他)”可知,作者最初对加入贝尔泽博士的自然研究是犹豫的。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Confucius’ saying “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” became clear to me through Dr. Bill Belzer. At the camp, he led us city kids — raised amid concrete, blacktop and little green space — on adventures. (子曰,“听之则忘,见之则记,行之则懂。”通过比尔·贝尔泽博士,我明白了这句话。在营地,他带领我们这些在城市长大的孩子去冒险)”可知,作者提到贝尔泽博士的营地是为了展示通过直接体验学习。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The undergraduates initially tried to guide the children to see specific things, but later found that the children had their own exploration directions, so they turned to follow the children’s rhythm and were shocked by this unplanned exploration.(本科生们最初试图引导孩子们去看特定的东西,但后来发现孩子们有自己的探索方向,于是他们转而跟随孩子们的节奏,对这种无计划的探索感到震惊)”可知,当本科生放开孩子们后,孩子们自我导向的发现让他们感到惊讶。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Learning about nature and our earth, to make a personal connection, must be through involvement in something over time. That’s the proof: a lasting connection to nature and learning is formed not in classrooms, but in doing.

D
On a laboratory bench in Cambridge, Massachusetts, polished round blocks of black concrete sit bathed in liquid and wrapped in wires. Damian Stefaniuk presses a switch — the blocks, wired to an LED, make the bulb come to life. This success promises a new future for energy storage.
Renewable energy like solar and wind is not always available, requiring batteries for storage. However, lithium (锂) batteries face shortages and can produce poisonous chemicals, driving the search for alternatives. This is where Stefaniuk’s concrete comes in: he and colleagues create supercapacitors from water, cement (水泥), and carbon black. The supercapacitor’s core lies in carbon black’s high ability to conduct electricity. Mixed with cement and water, it forms concrete with conductive networks.
Supercapacitors are highly efficient at storing energy but differ from batteries in some ways. They can charge much more quickly and their energy storage density is enough to power a 10-watt LED bulb for 30 hours. However, supercapacitors also release stored power rapidly, making them less useful in devices such as mobile phones, laptops, or electric cars that require a steady supply of energy.
One application of supercapacitors is to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road. The rapid release of energy from the supercapacitor would allow vehicles to get a rapid boost to their batteries. Another would be as energy-storing foundations of houses — 30 to 40 cubic meters meets a household’s daily needs; Stefaniuk notes: “Walls, foundations or columns can support structures and store energy.”
While reducing lithium reliance, carbon-cement supercapacitors have environmental impacts: cement production is responsible for 5-8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, and the carbon-cement needed would need to be freshly made rather than added to and used in existing structures. But there may be a way of overcoming the problem, adds Michael Short, who leads the Centre for Sustainable Engineering at Teesside University. His colleagues are already working on low-emissions cement that is made from the by-products of the steel and chemical industries.
32. What is a primary purpose of Stefaniuk and his colleagues’ research?
A. To develop new applications of concrete.
B. To introduce a material for lithium batteries.
C. To study the properties of cement mixture.
D. To create a new approach for energy storage.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The growing adoption of renewable energy.
B. The process of making a new storage device.
C. The problems with current lithium battery technology.
D. The reasons for developing carbon-cement supercapacitors.
34. What is an application for supercapacitors?
A. Powering home appliances continuously.
B. Wirelessly charging electric vehicles on roads.
C. Serving as the main battery for mobile phones.
D. Replacing all traditional building foundations.
35. What does Short’s current research focus on?
A. Reducing reliance on carbon-cement.
B. Upgrading existing structures.
C. Tackling high carbon footprint.
D. Simplifying low-cost ingredients.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】

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。
Glance through your WeChat Moments or TikTok feed, and you’ll see all kinds of posts: a friend strongly recommending a “magic study method” that guarantees top grades or a video claiming “eating chocolate every day prevents colds”. ____36____ The answer lies in critical thinking.
Critical thinking doesn’t mean being negative or arguing with everyone. It simply means taking a step back, asking questions, and refusing to accept information at face value. ____37____ We tend to believe things that fit our existing ideas or that lots of people are talking about. But this autopilot mode can mislead us.
Imagine your teammate suggests a plan that everyone else nods along with immediately in a group discussion. A critical thinker won’t just agree to avoid conflict. They’ll ask: Do we have the resources to pull this off? ____38____ Is there a better way to divide the work? These questions don’t make you a troublemaker — they make the project stronger.
____39____ You’ve probably heard “you’re either a math person or a language person”. A critical thinker would look for evidence. Research on learning styles proves while people have preferences, anyone can improve at math or languages with the right method. Critical thinking turns you from a passive learner into an active one who takes charge of their own education.
Next time you’re about to hit“share”on a post or accept a“fact”as true, stop for 10 seconds. ____40____ You’ll be surprised by how much better your decisions become and how much more confident you feel in your own voice. After all, the smartest students aren’t the ones who know all the answers — they’re the ones who know how to ask the right questions.
A. Our brains love shortcuts.
B. Turn off your brain’s autopilot.
C. Does this plan fit our deadline?
D Why might they share this information?
E. How do you decide which of these to believe?
F. Social media is where critical thinking is most needed.
G. Critical thinking also shines in facing study misconceptions.

【36题详解】
上文“Glance through your WeChat Moments or TikTok feed, and you’ll see all kinds of posts: a friend strongly recommending a “magic study method” that guarantees top grades or a video claiming “eating chocolate every day prevents colds”. (浏览一下你的微信朋友圈或抖音,你会看到各种各样的帖子:一个朋友强烈推荐一种“神奇的学习方法”,保证能取得高分,或者一个视频声称“每天吃巧克力可以预防感冒”)”描述了社交媒体上充斥着各种信息,E选项“你怎么决定相信哪一个呢?”承接上文,提出如何判断各种信息的可信度这一问题,下文“The answer lies in critical thinking.(答案在于批判性思维。)”回答了选项E提出的问题,引出批判性思维。故选E。
【37题详解】
上文“Critical thinking doesn’t mean being negative or arguing with everyone. It simply means taking a step back, asking questions, and refusing to accept information at face value. (批判性思维并不意味着消极或与每个人争论。它只是意味着退后一步,提出问题,并拒绝接受表面上的信息)”解释了批判性思维的含义,A选项“我们的大脑喜欢走捷径”指出我们大脑的这一特性,与下文“We tend to believe things that fit our existing ideas or that lots of people are talking about. (我们倾向于相信符合我们现有观念或者很多人都在谈论的事情)”相呼应,说明我们为何容易接受表面信息,符合语境。故选A。
【38题详解】
上文“Imagine your teammate suggests a plan that everyone else nods along with immediately in a group discussion. A critical thinker won’t just agree to avoid conflict. (想象一下,在小组讨论中,你的队友提出了一个计划,其他人都立刻点头表示同意。一个有批判性思维的人不会仅仅为了避免冲突就同意)”描述了一个场景,并指出批判性思考者不会轻易同意,C选项“这个计划符合我们的期限吗?”是批判性思考者可能会提出的问题之一,与下文“Is there a better way to divide the work? (有没有更好的分配工作的方法?)”一起,进一步说明批判性思考者会提出的问题,符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
下文“You’ve probably heard “you’re either a math person or a language person”. A critical thinker would look for evidence. (你可能听过“你要么是学数学的,要么是学语言的”。一个有批判性思维的人会寻找证据)”指出批判性思维者在面对学习误解时的做法,G选项“批判性思维在面对学习误解时也很有用”引出下文内容,符合语境。故选G。
【40题详解】
上文“Next time you’re about to hit “share” on a post or accept a “fact” as true, stop for 10 seconds. (下次当你准备在帖子下点击“分享”或接受一个“事实”为真时,停10秒钟)”提出一个建议,B选项“关闭你的大脑自动驾驶模式”承接上文,进一步说明在这10秒钟内应该做什么,即关闭大脑的自动驾驶模式,进行批判性思考,符合语境。故选B。

【答案】
Campus Beautification Day
Our school’s Campus Beautification Day was a rewarding experience. We cleaned up litter, planted flowers, and worked together closely, which strengthened our sense of teamwork and responsibility for our campus.
However, there were shortcomings. Some students lacked enthusiasm, and we didn’t have enough tools, slowing down our progress. Also, no follow-up plan was made to maintain the beauty.
I suggest organising pre-activity lectures to encourage participation, preparing more tools, and setting up a volunteer team to check the campus regularly. This way, our campus will stay beautiful long-term.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
As a very shy writer who had been sending out manuscripts (手稿) for years, I couldn’t decide what scared me more: never getting published, or finally getting published and having to talk about my book in front of people. It was a tough choice. I wasn’t just a little nervous — I was truly afraid of speaking to strangers. Once, at a small writers’ group, I almost cried when it was my turn to introduce myself.
“You live like an island,” my editor Lucy told me after I declined a promotional opportunity. “Publishing means delivering your heart to the world. Step out, or your words remain trapped on paper.” Her words hurt but they were true.
At the suggestion of my friends, I attended a Toastmasters meeting. Taking the leap was the hardest step I had ever taken. But the warmth of the members there disarmed me, particularly Max,a retired professor and a seasoned instructor in the club. His calm presence was quietly encouraging. I signed up, with the hope of gradual change.
Then, unexpectedly, I was offered a contract of publishing my book. I was over the moon! Right then,I ran into my friend Barb, a teacher. “You must speak to my class!” she insisted. “Oh, no,” I shook my head,my face flushing. “I’m not ready.”
Days later, Lucy called. “We need to schedule your college campus talks — it’s in the contract. Society needs to see its creators.” Hanging up, I felt my stomach tightened.
At the next Toastmasters meeting, my anxiety was quite visible. During a break, Max approached. “You seem burdened tonight,” he observed gently.
“The editor is forcing me into public talks. I’m terrified,” I whispered.
He smiled, his eyes knowing. “We all begin here, facing that same mirror,” he said. “If you turn your back on the world, you only see your own shadow. But if you face it, you’ll see it reflected back not as a judge, but as a space waiting for your voice. Your fear isn’t the barrier — your silence is.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
These words just struck me and I decided to step out.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Driving to the high school on the big day, I tried to overcome my anxiety.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
These words just struck me and I decided to step out. What Max said about the mirror stayed with me. The next day, I called my friend Barb. “I’ll come to your class,” I said, my voice shaking but sure. With this promise, I began to work. At Toastmasters, Max helped me to look at the listeners, not at my own fear. I practised my speech again and again. At home, I stood in front of a real mirror and talked to myself, trying to see friendly faces instead of my own nervous eyes. Slowly, I began to feel a little more ready. But the night before the talk, old worries came back. I knew the real test was still ahead.
Driving to the high school on the big day, I tried to overcome my anxiety. Holding the steering wheel tightly, I kept thinking of Max’s advice. When I walked into the classroom and saw the students’ curious faces, I took a deep breath and began sharing my writing journey. When I finished, the class erupted into cheers. In that moment, my fear melted away. I felt heard and understood. Right after the class, filled with a new confidence, I called Lucy and accepted the campus talks. I finally understood: by stepping out, I wasn’t just sending my words onto paper — I was sending them to where they truly belonged, into the hearts of others.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了性格腼腆的作家多年投稿,既害怕无法出版,又恐惧出版后要公开演讲,拒绝推广机会后被编辑点醒,加入演讲俱乐部寻求改变,意外获得出版合同,却因必须公开演讲陷入焦虑,在俱乐部导师马克斯的鼓励下决心尝试的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“这些话深深打动了我,我决定迈出这一步。”可知,第一段可描写作者联系朋友 Barb 答应去她班级演讲,在马克斯的帮助下反复练习,虽演讲前仍有担忧,但已做好初步准备。
②由第二段首句内容“演讲当天,我开车去高中,努力克服内心的焦虑。”可知,第二段可描写作者抵达教室后深呼吸开始演讲,演讲结束后获得学生欢呼,恐惧消散,进而主动接受校园演讲,领悟到迈出第一步的意义。
2. 续写线索:受鼓励决定迈出第一步——答应去 Barb 班级演讲——在马克斯帮助下练习——演讲前仍有担忧——演讲当天克服焦虑——完成演讲获得认可——恐惧消散——接受校园演讲——领悟真谛

Everyone has heard that it’s vital to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Get anything less, and you are more likely to suffer from poor health in the short and long term. But in recent years, scientists have discovered a rare group of people who consistently get little shut-eye and are no worse for wear.
Natural short sleepers, as they are called, are genetically wired to need only four to six hours of sleep a night. These exceptions suggest that quality, not quantity, is what matters. If scientists could figure out what these people do differently, it might, they hope, provide insight into sleep’s very nature.
Ying-Hui Fu, a human geneticist and neuroscientist at UC San Francisco, recalls there is one family whose members woke up early but didn’t go to bed early, and felt refreshed after only about six hours of sleep. They were the first people identified with familial natural short sleep, a condition that runs in families like other genetic features. Fu and her colleague Ptaček thought the short sleep originated from a mutation (变异) in a gene called DEC2. The researchers went on to genetically engineer the DEC2 mutation into mice, showing that the animals need less sleep than their littermates.
Over time, the researchers have identified seven genes associated with natural short sleep. Like mice, people who are naturally short sleepers seem to be immune (免疫的) to the ill effects of short sleep. If anything, they do extraordinarily well. Research suggests that such people are ambitious, energetic and optimistic, with remarkable recoverability against stress and higher thresholds (阈值) for pain.
But though sleep has a strong genetic component, it can also be shaped by the environment. Knowing that better sleep is possible, and understanding the basis, could point the way to interventions to improve sleep, enabling more people to live longer, healthier lives.
24. What does the underlined part “no worse for wear” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Unharmed. B. Uncomfortable.
C. Abnormal. D. Exhausted.
25. What can we know about the mentioned family in paragraph 3?
A. They are early to bed and early to rise.
B. Their sleep quality depends on the quantity.
C. They are genetically built to require less sleep.
D. DEC2 is a decisive factor in their health condition.
26. What is the ultimate goal of this research?
A. To develop tools for editing sleep genes.
B. To improve sleep quality for better health.
C. To identify specific sleep-related genes.
D. To create universal sleep reduction programs.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Less Shut-Eye, Better Health
B. Sleep Quality and Gene Mutation
C. The ones Who Need Less Sleep
D. The Hidden Costs of Short Sleep
C
I have always been a person that needed to have the time to explore or experience something before I could make personal meaning. I often found that without first-hand experiences, I would soon forget. And nature always helped me remember and make connections to other concepts and ideas.
Confucius’ saying “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” became clear to me through Dr. Bill Belzer. At the camp, he led us city kids — raised amid concrete, blacktop and little green space — on adventures. Every morning he would offer a stream hike, mud hike, or nature study of some sort. At first, I held back from joining him. However, when I saw the other campers returning from their outings happy and excited, I went to nature study because it seemed fun, and it was!
Every time I went to Belzer’s nature study, everyone was observing, touching, listening, so was our leader. With each discovery we made on the walk, new things would come to light, inspiring unexpected connections. Occasionally Bill would come over and say, “What do you see?” It was not planned, it was spontaneous (自发的) and we were attracted to this kind of play and exploration.
With this in the mind, I took the leap into this kind of learning by organising a stream stroll at the university where I taught.
Each undergraduate was assigned a group of about four or five first-grade children. And with a splash, we were all explorers. The undergraduates initially tried to guide the children to see specific things, but later found that the children had their own exploration directions, so they turned to follow the children’s rhythm and were shocked by this unplanned exploration.
Learning about nature and our earth, to make a personal connection, must be through involvement in something over time. That’s the proof: a lasting connection to nature and learning is formed not in classrooms, but in doing.
28. How did the author initially feel about joining Dr. Belzer’s nature study?
A. Cautious. B. Hesitant.
C. Prepared. D. Curious.
29. Why does the author mention Dr. Bill Belzer’s camp?
A. To recall a memorable childhood adventure.
B. To prove city kids lack exposure to nature.
C. To demonstrate learning through direct experience.
D. To present the figure of Dr. Bill Belzer.
30. What happened when the undergraduates freed the children?
A. The kids’ self-directed discoveries amazed them.
B. The undergraduates took over the role of guiding.
C. The children lost interest without clear direction.
D. The activity became chaotic and unproductive.
31. What is the author’s main argument in the text?
A. Teachers should receive training in outdoor education.
B. Lasting learning comes from personal involvement in doing.
C. Unplanned exploration is the best way for children to learn.
D. Nature study is more effective than classroom instruction.
D
On a laboratory bench in Cambridge, Massachusetts, polished round blocks of black concrete sit bathed in liquid and wrapped in wires. Damian Stefaniuk presses a switch — the blocks, wired to an LED, make the bulb come to life. This success promises a new future for energy storage.
Renewable energy like solar and wind is not always available requiring batteries for storage. However, lithium (锂) batteries face shortages and can produce poisonous chemicals, driving the search for alternatives. This is where Stefaniuk’s concrete comes in: he and colleagues create supercapacitors from water, cement (水泥), and carbon black. The supercapacitor’s core lies in carbon black’s high ability to conduct electricity. Mixed with cement and water, it forms concrete with conductive networks.
Supercapacitors are highly efficient at storing energy but differ from batteries in some ways. They can charge much more quickly and their energy storage density is enough to power a 10-watt LED bulb for 30 hours. However, supercapacitors also release stored power rapidly, making them less useful in devices such as mobile phones, laptops, or electric cars that require a steady supply of energy.
One application of supercapacitors is to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road. The rapid release of energy from the supercapacitor would allow vehicles to get a rapid boost to their batteries. Another would be as energy-storing foundations of houses — 30 to 40 cubic meters meets a household’s daily needs; Stefaniuk notes: “Walls, foundations or columns can support structures and store energy.”
While reducing lithium reliance, carbon-cement supercapacitors have environmental impacts: cement production is responsible for 5-8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, and the carbon-cement needed would need to be freshly made rather than added to and used in existing structures. But there may be a way of overcoming the problem, adds Michael Short, who leads the Centre for Sustainable Engineering at Teesside University. His colleagues are already working on low-emissions cement that is made from the by-products of the steel and chemical industries.
32. What is a primary purpose of Stefaniuk and his colleagues’ research?
A. To develop new applications of concrete.
B. To introduce a material for lithium batteries.
C. To study the properties of cement mixture.
D. To create a new approach for energy storage.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The growing adoption of renewable energy.
B. The process of making a new storage device.
C. The problems with current lithium battery technology.
D. The reasons for developing carbon-cement supercapacitors.
34. What is an application for supercapacitors?
A. Powering home appliances continuously.
B. Wirelessly charging electric vehicles on roads.
C. Serving as the main battery for mobile phones.
D. Replacing all traditional building foundations.
35 What does Short’s current research focus on?
A. Reducing reliance on carbon-cement.
B. Upgrading existing structures.
C. Tackling high carbon footprint.
D. Simplifying low-cost ingredients.

Glance through your WeChat Moments or TikTok feed, and you’ll see all kinds of posts: a friend strongly recommending a “magic study method” that guarantees top grades or a video claiming “eating chocolate every day prevents colds”. ____36____ The answer lies in critical thinking.
Critical thinking doesn’t mean being negative or arguing with everyone. It simply means taking a step back, asking questions, and refusing to accept information at face value. ____37____ We tend to believe things that fit our existing ideas or that lots of people are talking about. But this autopilot mode can mislead us.
Imagine your teammate suggests a plan that everyone else nods along with immediately in a group discussion. A critical thinker won’t just agree to avoid conflict. They’ll ask: Do we have the resources to pull this off? ____38____ Is there a better way to divide the work? These questions don’t make you a troublemaker — they make the project stronger.
____39____ You’ve probably heard “you’re either a math person or a language person”. A critical thinker would look for evidence. Research on learning styles proves while people have preferences, anyone can improve at math or languages with the right method. Critical thinking turns you from a passive learner into an active one who takes charge of their own education.
Next time you’re about to hit“share”on a post or accept a“fact”as true, stop for 10 seconds. ____40____ You’ll be surprised by how much better your decisions become and how much more confident you feel in your own voice. After all, the smartest students aren’t the ones who know all the answers — they’re the ones who know how to ask the right questions.
A. Our brains love shortcuts.
B. Turn off your brain’s autopilot.
C. Does this plan fit our deadline?
D. Why might they share this information?
E. How do you decide which of these to believe?
F. Social media is where critical thinking is most needed.
G. Critical thinking also shines in facing study misconceptions.

I am still angry when Grandpa ____45____. After putting in his false teeth with difficulty, he invites me for a walk. Unwillingly, I follow him to ____46____ into the garden.
I know he’s about to ____47____ me: respect your elders, etc. Instead, he ____48____ asks me to help him sit down on a bench soon after. For a second, I remember it’s my birthday and I can do whatever I want. But when I see his legs ____49____ while bending his knees, I rush over to help him.

As a very shy writer who had been sending out manuscripts (手稿) for years, I couldn’t decide what scared me more: never getting published, or finally getting published and having to talk about my book in front of people. It was a tough choice. I wasn’t just a little nervous — I was truly afraid of speaking to strangers. Once, at a small writers’ group, I almost cried when it was my turn to introduce myself.
“You live like an island,” my editor Lucy told me after I declined a promotional opportunity. “Publishing means delivering your heart to the world. Step out, or your words remain trapped on paper.” Her words hurt but they were true.
At the suggestion of my friends, I attended a Toastmasters meeting. Taking the leap was the hardest step I had ever taken. But the warmth of the members there disarmed me, particularly Max,a retired professor and a seasoned instructor in the club. His calm presence was quietly encouraging. I signed up, with the hope of gradual change.
Then unexpectedly, I was offered a contract of publishing my book. I was over the moon! Right then,I ran into my friend Barb, a teacher. “You must speak to my class!” she insisted. “Oh, no,” I shook my head,my face flushing. “I’m not ready.”
Days later, Lucy called. “We need to schedule your college campus talks — it’s in the contract. Society needs to see its creators.” Hanging up, I felt my stomach tightened.
At the next Toastmasters meeting, my anxiety was quite visible. During a break, Max approached. “You seem burdened tonight,” he observed gently.
“The editor is forcing me into public talks. I’m terrified,” I whispered.
He smiled, his eyes knowing. “We all begin here, facing that same mirror,” he said. “If you turn your back on the world, you only see your own shadow. But if you face it, you’ll see it reflected back not as a judge, but as a space waiting for your voice. Your fear isn’t the barrier — your silence is.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
These words just struck me and I decided to step out.
