If this sounds appealing, consider volunteering in one of America’s national parks. Below are three great positions with accommodation. Portsmouth Village Docent (3/1/2026 — 11/1/2026) Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina Once a busy trade center, the island is only reachable by boat. Volunteers will greet visitors, offer tours of the village and maintain the houses, bathrooms, and landscaping. Village buildings are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Monday. Accommodation is in the historic station with private bathroom and a small kitchen. The park cautions that volunteers must be willing to deal with remoteness, bugs and severe weather conditions. Kennel Assistant (4/1/2026 — 5/20/2026) Denali National Park, Alaska If you are interested in assisting in the feeding and training 30 sled dogs, Denali has a position for you. Beyond caring for the dogs, you’ll also be responsible for yard cleaning. Volunteers will spend considerable time outdoors when the park experience some cold temperatures. A 32-hour workweek is required to get a two-bedroom cabin requiring occupants to use a community bathroom. Interpretive Volunteer (10/1/2025 — 4/30/2026) Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah This top park is seeking volunteers who will assist in the visitor center and collect visitor statistics during the winter months. Volunteers are expected to work 32 hours and 4 days per week. Preference will be given to applicants who commit to 12 weeks or longer. The park is at an altitude of 9,000 feet, resulting in relative cold winters and breathtaking landscape when it snows. Regardless of the park or position, serving as a volunteer will prove to be one of the most memorable experiences. 1. What is needed for Kennel Assistants to get accommodation? A. Working at weekends. B. Cleaning yards regularly. C. Training sled dogs daily. D. Working 32 hours weekly. 2. Who will be interested in the Interpretive Volunteer position? A. Data analysts. B. Snowscape lovers. C. Outdoor hikers. D. Animal enthusiasts. 3. What do all three volunteer positions have in common? A. They provide private bathrooms. B. They recruit volunteers in winter. C. They face challenging conditions. D. They accept short-term volunteers. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了美国三个国家公园的志愿者职位及其相关要求。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kennel Assistant (4/1/2026 — 5/20/2026)部分“A 32-hour workweek is required to get a two-bedroom cabin requiring occupants to use a community bathroom.(每周工作32小时，才能获得一间有两间卧室的小屋，住户需使用公共浴室。)”可知，Kennel Assistants需要每周工作32小时才能获得住宿。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Interpretive Volunteer (10/1/2025 — 4/30/2026)部分“The park is at an altitude of 9,000 feet, resulting in relative cold winters and breathtaking landscape when it snows.(公园海拔9000英尺，冬季相对寒冷，下雪时景色壮丽。)”可知，喜欢雪景的人会对Interpretive Volunteer这个职位感兴趣。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Portsmouth Village Docent (3/1/2026 — 11/1/2026)部分“The park cautions that volunteers must be willing to deal with remoteness, bugs and severe weather conditions.(公园提醒志愿者必须愿意应对偏远、虫子和恶劣天气条件。)”；Kennel Assistant (4/1/2026 — 5/20/2026)部分“Volunteers will spend considerable time outdoors when the park experience some cold temperatures.(当公园经历一些寒冷天气时，志愿者将在户外度过相当长的时间。)”以及Interpretive Volunteer (10/1/2025 — 4/30/2026)部分“The park is at an altitude of 9,000 feet, resulting in relative cold winters and breathtaking landscape when it snows.(公园海拔9000英尺，冬季相对寒冷，下雪时景色壮丽。)”可知，这三个志愿者职位的共同之处是它们都面临具有挑战性的条件。故选C。 B Space engineer Barbara Braun is working to turn the dream of living on Mars into reality, starting in a remote part of Utah, a place whose environment has much in common with that of Mars. As a mission officer, she leads missions that copy life on Mars to test how humans can survive in space. Braun studied space engineering at MIT and also became a qualified emergency medical worker — someone trained to give emergency medical care. This skill later proved to be extremely valuable. Her most important test was a two-week mission at Utah’s Mars Desert Research Station. As the health and safety officer, she led explorations in simulated (模拟的) spacesuits, where her team tested technologies like 3D mapping drones and radiation-detecting tools. The mission was full of challenges. The team had to deal with many unexpected problems from broken spacesuits to a broken toilet. Solving such practical issues was a core part of the experience. “There’s no pipe repairer on Mars,” she says, “so you need to be handy.” Braun’s wide range of skills sets her apart. Her training as an emergency medical worker, combined with volunteer work as a firefighter, helped her develop skills needed for space exploration: thinking quickly and staying calm in stressful situations. She believes these practical experiences are as important as her school education. “These experiences prepared me for the unexpected — on Earth and Mars,” she notes, highlighting the connection between her daily life and her space-related work. Looking ahead, Braun acknowledges challenges like radiation but remains optimistic. She believes building a community on Mars will require all kinds of people, not just scientists. “We need pipe repairers, metal workers, and everyday people in space,” she says. To young space lovers, her advice is to read widely and try out different things with passion — you never know which skill will prepare you for space. Through her work, Braun is helping to make humanity’s next space home a reality. 4. Why does Barbara Braun conduct her work in a remote part of Utah? A. It is available to humans. B. It has advanced technology. C. It has emergency medical care. D. It has a similar environment to Mars. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The function of Utah’s Mars Desert Research Station. B. The advanced technologies tested in the Mars mission. C. The Mars simulation mission and its tough difficulties. D. The responsibilities of a health and safety officer in space. 6. What can we learn from Braun’s advice? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Many skills make light work. C. Books are the ladder to success. D. Where there’s passion, there’s success. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Barbara Braun? A. Knowledgeable and mild. B. Ambitious and generous. C. Passionate and all-round. D. Specialized and conventional. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了航天工程师Barbara Braun在犹他州开展火星生存模拟实验的工作，讲述了其模拟任务的挑战、多元技能的重要性，并分享了她对航天探索的看法和给航天爱好者的建议。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第1段中“starting in a remote part of Utah, a place whose environment has much in common with that of Mars.(从犹他州的一个偏远地区开始，这个地方的环境与火星有很多共同之处。)”可知，Barbara Braun在犹他州偏远地区开展工作是因为这里的环境和火星相似。故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第2段中“Her most important test was a two-week mission at Utah’s Mars Desert Research Station.(她最重要的测试是在犹他州火星沙漠研究站进行的为期两周的任务。)”和“The mission was full of challenges. The team had to deal with many unexpected problems from broken spacesuits to a broken toilet.(这次任务充满了挑战。团队不得不处理许多意想不到的问题，从宇航服破损到马桶故障。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了火星模拟任务以及任务中遇到的艰难困难。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第4段中“To young space lovers, her advice is to read widely and try out different things with passion — you never know which skill will prepare you for space.(对于年轻的航天爱好者，她的建议是广泛阅读，满怀热情地尝试不同的事物——你永远不知道哪种技能会为你的航天之路做好准备。)”可知，Braun的建议体现了掌握多种技能能助力完成航天相关工作，契合“Many skills make light work.(技多不压身)”的内涵。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第3段中“Braun’s wide range of skills sets her apart.(Braun的多种技能让她脱颖而出。)”和第4段中“To young space lovers, her advice is to read widely and try out different things with passion(对于年轻的航天爱好者，她的建议是广泛阅读，满怀热情地尝试不同的事物)”以及她为实现火星居住梦想所做的一系列工作可知，Braun既满怀热情，又具备多方面的能力，是个全面的人。故选C。 C Stress, challenges and failure are a part of life, but how we emotionally respond to them can shape our future. As Shakespeare put it, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”. This reflects the power of an emotion-regulation strategy psychologists call cognitive reappraisal (认知重评), or reframing. It showcases a powerful capacity that humans have to change their own emotional experiences by changing not the situation, but what the situation means to them. Psychologists describe two main ways to do this. One is reinterpreting a situation, or “looking on the bright side.” For example, a minor car accident is stressful, but you could reframe it by focusing on the fact that no one got hurt. Or perhaps you can find a silver lining — a hidden benefit — in the situation. The other method is psychological distancing. With this, you don’t change the event’s meaning, but you change how important it is to you by imagining yourself far in the future. You could ask yourself: how likely is it that I will even remember this event 10 years from now? Research shows that cognitive reappraisal can reduce negative emotions like sadness and increase positive ones like hope. Over time, this contributes to greater well-being and less depression. The strategy works by affecting our brain’s emotional response. Neuroimaging studies show that cognitive reappraisal engages the brain’s thinking center. This area then helps to calm our brain’s internal threat detector, leading to less negative emotion. However, cognitive reappraisal has its limits and must match reality. It is not a one-size-fits-all strategy. Psychologists warn against “toxic positivity”, where you might lie to yourself just to feel better. The key is to see reframing not as a magical cure, but as one useful instrument in our “emotional toolbox”, which we can select and use wisely depending on the situation. 8. Why does the author quote Shakespeare’s words in paragraph 1? A. To prove Shakespeare’s influence. B. To introduce the power of reframing. C To suggest life is full of uncertainty. D. To define cognitive reappraisal directly. 9. Which of the following is an example of psychological distancing? A. Reflecting on whether a small quarrel will matter in a decade. B. Focusing on the fact that a broken phone didn’t cause data loss. C. Viewing a delayed flight as a chance to finish an unfinished book. D. Considering a lost competition as a lesson for future improvement. 10. What does the underlined phrase “toxic positivity” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Stress from too much positivity. B. Fake positivity in social interactions. C. Harmful optimism ignoring reality. D. Positive thinking for emotional relief. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards cognitive reappraisal? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种重要的情绪调节策略——认知重评(又称重新构建)，阐述了其两种主要方式、科学依据，同时也指出了该策略的局限性，强调应结合实际合理运用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第1段中“As Shakespeare put it, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”. This reflects the power of an emotion-regulation strategy psychologists call cognitive reappraisal (认知重评), or reframing.(正如莎士比亚所说：“世事本无好坏，全凭心境使然”这体现了一种被心理学家称为认知重评(又称重新构建)的情绪调节策略的力量。)”可知，作者引用莎士比亚的话是为了引出认知重评(重新构建)的力量。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第2段中“The other method is psychological distancing. With this, you don’t change the event’s meaning, but you change how important it is to you by imagining yourself far in the future. You could ask yourself: how likely is it that I will even remember this event 10 years from now?(另一种方法是心理疏离。通过这种方法，你不会改变事件的意义，但会通过想象自己处于遥远的未来来改变它对你的重要性。你可以问自己：10年后我还会记得这件事吗？)”可知，思考一次小争吵在十年后是否重要，是通过未来视角降低事件重要性，属于心理疏离的例子。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第4段中“However, cognitive reappraisal has its limits and must match reality. It is not a one-size-fits-all strategy. Psychologists warn against “toxic positivity”, where you might lie to yourself just to feel better.(然而，认知重评有其局限性，必须与现实相符。它并非万能策略。心理学家警告要警惕……，即你可能为了感觉良好而欺骗自己。)” 可知，“toxic positivity”指的是一种为了维持积极感受而忽视或歪曲事实的做法，这种做法是有害的。选项C“Harmful optimism ignoring reality.(忽视现实的有害乐观主义。)”准确地概括了这层含义。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第3段中“Research shows that cognitive reappraisal can reduce negative emotions like sadness and increase positive ones like hope. Over time, this contributes to greater well-being and less depression.(研究表明，认知重评可以减少悲伤等负面情绪，增加希望等正面情绪。久而久之，这有助于提升幸福感，减少抑郁。)”可知，作者肯定了认知重评的积极作用；又根据第4段中“However, cognitive reappraisal has its limits and must match reality.(然而，认知重评有其局限性，必须与现实相符。)”可知，作者也客观指出了其不足。由此可判断，作者对认知重评的态度是客观的。故选D。 D Scientists have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that can capture and understand a person’s inner speech. Unlike previous systems requiring users to physically try to speak, this BCI only needs them to think about what they want to say. Lead researcher Edward Chang stated, “This is the first time we’ve understood the brain activity when you just think about speaking.” For those with severe speech problems, this new BCI offers an easier and more natural way to communicate. Many current BCIs that help communication still require physical attempts to speak. This process can be tiring for individuals with limited muscle control. Researchers wondered if they could instead decode (解码) inner speech, which means understanding thoughts without any physical movement. In their study, researchers worked with four people suffering from severe paralysis (瘫痪). These participants had electrodes implanted (植入) in their brains as part of another medical trial. The team used AI to interpret the electrical signals from these electrodes, decoding both inner speech and attempted speech. The AI models decoded participants’ internal sentences with up to 74% accuracy. Interestingly, inner speech and attempted speech produced similar patterns of brain activity in the brain’s motor cortex, but inner speech produced weaker signals overall. One ethical dilemma with BCIs is that they could potentially decode people’s private thoughts rather than what they intended to say aloud. To avoid the current system unintentionally decoding a person’s private inner speech, the team developed a password-protected BCI. Participants could use attempted speech to communicate at any time, but the BCI started decoding inner speech only after they spoke the password. Though the BCI wasn’t able to decode complete sentences when a person wasn’t clearly thinking in words, study co-author Frank Willett said, “This gives real hope that speech BCIs can one day restore communication that is as fluent, natural and comfortable as conversational speech.” 12. Why did the researchers develop the new BCI? A. To obtain private thoughts. B. To reduce user exhaustion. C. To control external devices. D. To understand brain activity. 13. How did the researchers decode internal sentences in the study? A. By recording physical movements. B. By asking participants to speak aloud. C. By using AI to read weaker signals. D. By interpreting brain electrical signals. 14. How did the researchers address the ethical dilemma of the new BCI? A. They developed a password system. B. They strengthened inner speech signals. C. They limited attempted speech translation. D. They trained AI to decode whole sentences 15 Which can be the best title for the text? A. New BCI: A Breakthrough in Decoding Inner Speech B. Overcoming Paralysis: A New Hope for Communication C. Password-Protected BCI: A Great Solution to Privacy Leaks D. BCI Technology: A Way to Decode Thoughts via Passwords 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家开发出一种新型脑机接口（BCI），能够解码人类内心言语，为严重语言障碍者提供更自然的交流方式。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Many current BCIs that help communication still require physical attempts to speak. This process can be tiring for individuals with limited muscle control. Researchers wondered if they could instead decode (解码) inner speech, which means understanding thoughts without any physical movement.(许多目前帮助交流的脑机接口仍然需要身体尝试说话。对于肌肉控制能力有限的人来说，这个过程可能会很累。研究人员想知道，他们是否可以解码内心言语，这意味着无需任何身体动作就能理解思想)”可知，研究人员开发新型BCI是为了减少用户因身体尝试说话而产生的疲劳。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The team used AI to interpret the electrical signals from these electrodes, decoding both inner speech and attempted speech.(研究小组使用人工智能来解释这些电极发出的电信号，解码内心言语和尝试言语)”可知，研究人员通过解释大脑电信号来解码内心言语。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To avoid the current system unintentionally decoding a person’s private inner speech, the team developed a password-protected BCI.(为了避免当前系统无意中解码一个人的私人内心言语，研究小组开发了一种密码保护的脑机接口)”可知，研究人员通过开发密码系统来解决新型BCI的伦理困境。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Scientists have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that can capture and understand a person’s inner speech. Unlike previous systems requiring users to physically try to speak, this BCI only needs them to think about what they want to say.(科学家们开发出一种能够捕捉和理解人类内心言语的脑机接口（BCI）。与以往需要用户实际尝试说话的系统不同，这种BCI只需要他们思考自己想说什么)”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家开发出一种新型脑机接口（BCI），能够解码人类内心言语，为严重语言障碍者提供更自然的交流方式。由此可知，A项“新型脑机接口：解码内心言语的突破”适合作为本文标题。故选A。 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。 The Art of Asking Great Questions Asking questions is a key skill for effective communication, yet many fail to master it, missing out on meaningful connections and useful insights. Fortunately, it’s a skill that can be developed with intention. ____16____ To start with, clarify your purpose and ask the right person. Reflect on what you aim to gain — tips for exams or homework feedback — before raising a question. This makes your question more focused, leading to better responses. ____17____ For example, seeking medical advice from a friend instead of a doctor will only lead to vague or incorrect information. ____18____ If a question pops up, ask it promptly while fresh; if the timing isn’t right — such as during a meeting — write it down to follow up later. Use simple, clear language, avoid difficult terms, and stay neutral to keep from influencing responses. Instead of saying “This plan is perfect, isn’t it?”, try “What’s your take on this plan?” to encourage honest feedback. Additionally, attentive listening and thoughtful follow-ups are essential. ____19____ Nodding or saying brief phrases like “I see” can signal your engagement. Follow-up questions are crucial for deepening the conversation. You can add “What steps do you think we can take to overcome it?” after asking “What’s the main difficulty here?” This shift from identifying issues to exploring solutions keeps the dialogue productive. ____20____ Avoid rude questions that push others away. Approach answers with curiosity rather than closed-mindedness — every question is an opportunity to expand your understanding. With these steps, you’ll turn common exchanges into meaningful connections. A. Crafting questions is another key aspect. B. Too many follow-up questions may annoy others. C. Listen patiently and focus on what the person is saying. D. Simple words make your questions easier to understand. E. Ultimately, maintain a respectful and open-minded attitude. F. Here are some practical strategies for effective questioning. G. Choosing those with relevant knowledge ensures answer reliability. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. A 19. C 20.

Then one afternoon at a pizza shop, she watched a cartoonist turn a few quick lines into a funny portrait of her: the head twice her body and ears as big as the head. Eyes bright with excitement, Joy showed it to her friend Emily and suggested she have the cartoonist draw one for her too. Emily took a slow bite of pizza and said, “I don’t think so. But you are a good artist. You should draw a cartoon for the art fair.” Inspired, Joy, who was good at realistic drawings, determined to have a try. In the following two weeks, Joy practiced hard, copying superheroes from comic books and learning some tips: exaggerate (夸张) main features and skip unimportant details. Soon she could use a few lines and shapes to capture a likeness, sort of the way the cartoonist did. Thinking Emily was her best friend who always cheered her on, Joy suddenly had a great idea. She immediately set to work and poured her effort into the cartoon. After finishing it, Joy thought she had a chance at winning first place. The art fair transformed the school into a museum. Joy was excited to find her drawing had won the first place, but noticed Emily standing off to the side, eyes swollen and red. “Joy! How could you?” Emily cried, “My hair looks like spaghetti and my teeth are full of dots. Are you making fun of my braces (牙箍)? That’s the ugliest drawing I’ve ever seen!” Not knowing what to say, Joy felt her stomach drop. That night, Joy tossed and turned, dreaming that the cartoonist drew her as a pizza, with onions for hair and mushrooms for ears. She hated how she looked. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 Suddenly, Joy awoke, realizing how Emily had felt when seeing her drawing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 The next day, Joy waited outside Emily’s classroom, holding the new drawing tightly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, Joy awoke, realizing how Emily had felt when seeing her drawing. Her own dream had shown her the sting of being exaggerated in a way that felt mocking, not funny. Joy remembered her cartoon was meant to highlight Emily’s lively spirit — her wild, curly hair (which she now saw how “spaghetti” might hurt) and her wide, bright smile (which the dots for braces accidentally emphasized negatively). She hadn’t intended cruelty, only fun and artistic effect. But art wasn’t just about lines; it was about feelings. Joy understood now: her focus on “winning” had blinded her to her friend’s feelings. That prize suddenly felt heavy with regret. The next day, Joy waited outside Emily’s classroom, holding the new drawing tightly. When Emily appeared, Joy quickly said, “I’m so sorry, Emily! I never meant to upset you. I thought the cartoon was fun, like the one of me at the pizza place. I got it all wrong.” She handed Emily the new drawing: it still captured Emily’s energy and big smile, but the hair was stylized curls, not spaghetti strands, and the braces were just subtle lines, not dots. Emily’s eyes softened. She looked at the drawing, then at Joy’s earnest face, and a small smile finally appeared. “Okay,” she mumbled, then added, “Can I keep this one too?” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了乔伊为艺术展创作了一副描绘好友艾米莉的漫画，虽然画作获得了第一名，艾米莉却因画作夸张突出了她的缺点而伤心难过。Joy通过梦境意识到问题，决定道歉并重新绘制作品，最终得到了Emily的认可，二人和好如初。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，乔伊醒了过来，意识到艾米莉看到她的画时是什么感觉。”可知，第一段可描述乔伊理解了好友的感受，并意识到了自己的问题所在。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，乔伊紧紧握着新画的画，等在艾米莉的教室外面。”可知，第二段可描写乔伊拿着新画去道歉，最终获得原谅，二人重归于好。 2. 续写线索：醒来 —— 感受 —— 反思，认识到问题 —— 拿新画道歉 —— 原谅 —— 和好 3 词汇激活： 行为类： ①强调、突出：highlight/emphasize/stress ②出现：appear/turn up ③打算做：mean to do/intend to do ④捕获、抓住：capture/grab 情绪类： ①有趣的、好笑的：funny/amusing ②真诚的：earnest/sincere 【点睛】【高分句型1】Joy remembered her cartoon was meant to highlight Emily’s lively spirit — her wild, curly hair (which she now saw how “spaghetti” might hurt) and her wide, bright smile (which the dots for braces accidentally emphasized negatively). (运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句和两个以关系代词which引导的定语从句。) 【高分句型2】I thought the cartoon was fun, like the one of me at the pizza place.

If this sounds appealing, consider volunteering in one of America’s national parks. Below are three great positions with accommodation. Portsmouth Village Docent (3/1/2026 — 11/1/2026) Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina Once a busy trade center, the island is only reachable by boat. Volunteers will greet visitors, offer tours of the village and maintain the houses, bathrooms, and landscaping. Village buildings are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Monday. Accommodation is in the historic station with private bathroom and a small kitchen. The park cautions that volunteers must be willing to deal with remoteness, bugs and severe weather conditions. Kennel Assistant (4/1/2026 — 5/20/2026) Denali National Park, Alaska If you are interested in assisting in the feeding and training 30 sled dogs, Denali has a position for you. Beyond caring for the dogs, you’ll also be responsible for yard cleaning. Volunteers will spend considerable time outdoors when the park experience some cold temperatures. A 32-hour workweek is required to get a two-bedroom cabin requiring occupants to use a community bathroom. Interpretive Volunteer (10/1/2025 — 4/30/2026) Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah This top park is seeking volunteers who will assist in the visitor center and collect visitor statistics during the winter months. Volunteers are expected to work 32 hours and 4 days per week. Preference will be given to applicants who commit to 12 weeks or longer. The park is at an altitude of 9,000 feet, resulting in relative cold winters and breathtaking landscape when it snows. Regardless of the park or position, serving as a volunteer will prove to be one of the most memorable experiences. 1. What is needed for Kennel Assistants to get accommodation? A. Working at weekends. B. Cleaning yards regularly. C. Training sled dogs daily. D. Working 32 hours weekly. 2. Who will be interested in the Interpretive Volunteer position? A. Data analysts. B. Snowscape lovers. C. Outdoor hikers. D. Animal enthusiasts. 3. What do all three volunteer positions have in common? A. They provide private bathrooms. B. They recruit volunteers in winter. C. They face challenging conditions. D. They accept short-term volunteers. B Space engineer Barbara Braun is working to turn the dream of living on Mars into reality, starting in a remote part of Utah, a place whose environment has much in common with that of Mars. As a mission officer, she leads missions that copy life on Mars to test how humans can survive in space. Braun studied space engineering at MIT and also became a qualified emergency medical worker — someone trained to give emergency medical care. This skill later proved to be extremely valuable. Her most important test was a two-week mission at Utah’s Mars Desert Research Station. As the health and safety officer, she led explorations in simulated (模拟的) spacesuits, where her team tested technologies like 3D mapping drones and radiation-detecting tools. The mission was full of challenges. The team had to deal with many unexpected problems from broken spacesuits to a broken toilet. Solving such practical issues was a core part of the experience. “There’s no pipe repairer on Mars,” she says, “so you need to be handy.” Braun’s wide range of skills sets her apart. Her training as an emergency medical worker, combined with volunteer work as a firefighter, helped her develop skills needed for space exploration: thinking quickly and staying calm in stressful situations. She believes these practical experiences are as important as her school education. “These experiences prepared me for the unexpected — on Earth and Mars,” she notes, highlighting the connection between her daily life and her space-related work. Looking ahead, Braun acknowledges challenges like radiation but remains optimistic. She believes building a community on Mars will require all kinds of people, not just scientists. “We need pipe repairers, metal workers, and everyday people in space,” she says. To young space lovers, her advice is to read widely and try out different things with passion — you never know which skill will prepare you for space. Through her work, Braun is helping to make humanity’s next space home a reality. 4. Why does Barbara Braun conduct her work in a remote part of Utah? A. It is available to humans. B. It has advanced technology. C. It has emergency medical care. D. It has a similar environment to Mars. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The function of Utah’s Mars Desert Research Station. B. The advanced technologies tested in the Mars mission. C. The Mars simulation mission and its tough difficulties. D. The responsibilities of a health and safety officer in space. 6. What can we learn from Braun’s advice? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Many skills make light work. C. Books are the ladder to success. D. Where there’s passion, there’s success. 7 Which of the following words can best describe Barbara Braun? A. Knowledgeable and mild. B. Ambitious and generous. C. Passionate and all-round. D. Specialized and conventional. C Stress, challenges and failure are a part of life, but how we emotionally respond to them can shape our future. As Shakespeare put it, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”. This reflects the power of an emotion-regulation strategy psychologists call cognitive reappraisal (认知重评), or reframing. It showcases a powerful capacity that humans have to change their own emotional experiences by changing not the situation, but what the situation means to them. Psychologists describe two main ways to do this. One is reinterpreting a situation, or “looking on the bright side.” For example, a minor car accident is stressful, but you could reframe it by focusing on the fact that no one got hurt. Or perhaps you can find a silver lining — a hidden benefit — in the situation. The other method is psychological distancing. With this, you don’t change the event’s meaning, but you change how important it is to you by imagining yourself far in the future. You could ask yourself: how likely is it that I will even remember this event 10 years from now? Research shows that cognitive reappraisal can reduce negative emotions like sadness and increase positive ones like hope. Over time, this contributes to greater well-being and less depression. The strategy works by affecting our brain’s emotional response. Neuroimaging studies show that cognitive reappraisal engages the brain’s thinking center. This area then helps to calm our brain’s internal threat detector, leading to less negative emotion. However cognitive reappraisal has its limits and must match reality. It is not a one-size-fits-all strategy. Psychologists warn against “toxic positivity”, where you might lie to yourself just to feel better. The key is to see reframing not as a magical cure, but as one useful instrument in our “emotional toolbox”, which we can select and use wisely depending on the situation. 8. Why does the author quote Shakespeare’s words in paragraph 1? A. To prove Shakespeare’s influence. B. To introduce the power of reframing. C. To suggest life is full of uncertainty. D. To define cognitive reappraisal directly. 9. Which of the following is an example of psychological distancing? A. Reflecting on whether a small quarrel will matter in a decade. B. Focusing on the fact that a broken phone didn’t cause data loss. C. Viewing a delayed flight as a chance to finish an unfinished book. D. Considering a lost competition as a lesson for future improvement. 10. What does the underlined phrase “toxic positivity” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Stress from too much positivity. B. Fake positivity in social interactions. C. Harmful optimism ignoring reality. D. Positive thinking for emotional relief. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards cognitive reappraisal? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. D Scientists have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that can capture and understand a person’s inner speech. Unlike previous systems requiring users to physically try to speak, this BCI only needs them to think about what they want to say. Lead researcher Edward Chang stated, “This is the first time we’ve understood the brain activity when you just think about speaking.” For those with severe speech problems, this new BCI offers an easier and more natural way to communicate. Many current BCIs that help communication still require physical attempts to speak. This process can be tiring for individuals with limited muscle control. Researchers wondered if they could instead decode (解码) inner speech, which means understanding thoughts without any physical movement. In their study, researchers worked with four people suffering from severe paralysis (瘫痪). These participants had electrodes implanted (植入) in their brains as part of another medical trial. The team used AI to interpret the electrical signals from these electrodes, decoding both inner speech and attempted speech. The AI models decoded participants’ internal sentences with up to 74% accuracy. Interestingly, inner speech and attempted speech produced similar patterns of brain activity in the brain’s motor cortex, but inner speech produced weaker signals overall. One ethical dilemma with BCIs is that they could potentially decode people’s private thoughts rather than what they intended to say aloud. To avoid the current system unintentionally decoding a person’s private inner speech, the team developed a password-protected BCI. Participants could use attempted speech to communicate at any time, but the BCI started decoding inner speech only after they spoke the password. Though the BCI wasn’t able to decode complete sentences when a person wasn’t clearly thinking in words, study co-author Frank Willett said, “This gives real hope that speech BCIs can one day restore communication that is as fluent, natural and comfortable as conversational speech.” 12.

Fortunately, it’s a skill that can be developed with intention. ____16____ To start with, clarify your purpose and ask the right person. Reflect on what you aim to gain — tips for exams or homework feedback — before raising a question. This makes your question more focused, leading to better responses. ____17____ For example, seeking medical advice from a friend instead of a doctor will only lead to vague or incorrect information. ____18____ If a question pops up, ask it promptly while fresh; if the timing isn’t right — such as during a meeting — write it down to follow up later. Use simple, clear language, avoid difficult terms, and stay neutral to keep from influencing responses. Instead of saying “This plan is perfect, isn’t it?”, try “What’s your take on this plan?” to encourage honest feedback. Additionally, attentive listening and thoughtful follow-ups are essential. ____19____ Nodding or saying brief phrases like “I see” can signal your engagement. Follow-up questions are crucial for deepening the conversation. You can add “What steps do you think we can take to overcome it?” after asking “What’s the main difficulty here?” This shift from identifying issues to exploring solutions keeps the dialogue productive. ____20____ Avoid rude questions that push others away. Approach answers with curiosity rather than closed-mindedness — every question is an opportunity to expand your understanding. With these steps, you’ll turn common exchanges into meaningful connections. A. Crafting questions is another key aspect. B. Too many follow-up questions may annoy others. C. Listen patiently and focus on what the person is saying. D Simple words make your questions easier to understand. E. Ultimately, maintain a respectful and open-minded attitude. F. Here are some practical strategies for effective questioning. G. Choosing those with relevant knowledge ensures answer reliability. 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After a day’s photo-taking in Ethiopia, I said goodbye to the local.

Then one afternoon at a pizza shop, she watched a cartoonist turn a few quick lines into a funny portrait of her: the head twice her body and ears as big as the head. Eyes bright with excitement, Joy showed it to her friend Emily and suggested she have the cartoonist draw one for her too. Emily took a slow bite of pizza and said, “I don’t think so. But you are a good artist. You should draw a cartoon for the art fair.” Inspired, Joy, who was good at realistic drawings, determined to have a try. In the following two weeks, Joy practiced hard, copying superheroes from comic books and learning some tips: exaggerate (夸张) main features and skip unimportant details. Soon she could use a few lines and shapes to capture a likeness, sort of the way the cartoonist did. Thinking Emily was her best friend who always cheered her on, Joy suddenly had a great idea. She immediately set to work and poured her effort into the cartoon. After finishing it, Joy thought she had a chance at winning first place. The art fair transformed the school into a museum. Joy was excited to find her drawing had won the first place, but noticed Emily standing off to the side, eyes swollen and red. “Joy! How could you?” Emily cried, “My hair looks like spaghetti and my teeth are full of dots. Are you making fun of my braces (牙箍)? That’s the ugliest drawing I’ve ever seen!” Not knowing what to say, Joy felt her stomach drop. That night, Joy tossed and turned, dreaming that the cartoonist drew her as a pizza, with onions for hair and mushrooms for ears. She hated how she looked. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 Suddenly, Joy awoke, realizing how Emily had felt when seeing her drawing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 The next day, Joy waited outside Emily’s classroom, holding the new drawing tightly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
