The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) has issued specific recommendations regarding maximum class sizes to ensure safety in these environments: ●Elementary School: 22 students per class ●Middle School: 24 students per class ●High School: 24 students per class Data supports a clear link between class size and the frequency of accidents in science laboratories. The following chart illustrates the distribution (分布) of laboratory accidents based on class size: Research indicates that in standard science laboratories, the likelihood of accidents increases when the number of students is over 22 per class. Overcrowded science classrooms are also linked to lower student achievement. Hands-on science investigations are crucial for students to gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. However, these activities can only be effective in a safe, well-organized environment with sufficient space. Overcrowding may force teachers to reduce or even cancel practical, hands-on experiments, which limits students’ ability to engage in active learning. Additionally, supervising (管理) larger groups of students makes it harder for teachers to maintain discipline, further compromising safety and the learning environment. The NSTA recommends the following amount of space for specialized classroom/laboratory combinations and for a standard science laboratory. Class Type Elementary School Middle School High School Classroom/laboratory 45 square feet/student 50 square feet/student 60 square feet/student Science laboratory 40 square feet/student 45 square feet/student 50 square feet/student To ensure the safety of both students and instructors, it is critical to follow these guidelines and avoid overcrowding in science classrooms and laboratories. 21. Who is the text intended for? A. Students. B. Lab designers. C. Researchers. D. School authorities. 22. By what percentage do serious accidents increase when class size rises from 28 to 32? A. 2.1%. B. 15%. C. 15.7%. D. 17.1%. 23. What leads to lower student achievement in crowded science classrooms? A. Weakened interest in investigations. B. Rising difficulty in cooperation. C. Reduced opportunities for experiments. D. Increasing conflicts during interactions. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍科学教室和实验室过度拥挤带来的安全隐患与学生成绩下降问题，以及美国国家科学教师协会（NSTA）的班级规模和空间建议。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Overcrowding in science classrooms and laboratories... poses a serious safety concern for teachers and administrators. The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) has issued specific recommendations regarding maximum class sizes to ensure safety in these environments(科学教室和实验室的过度拥挤 —— 这里经常使用设备和化学品 —— 给教师和管理人员带来了严重的安全隐患。美国国家科学教师协会（NSTA）就最大班级规模发布了具体建议，以确保这些环境的安全)”以及最后一段“To ensure the safety of both students and instructors, it is critical to follow these guidelines and avoid overcrowding(为确保学生和教师的安全，遵循这些指导方针并避免科学教室和实验室过度拥挤至关重要)”可知，文章围绕科学教室 / 实验室安全和班级规模展开，面向的是负责制定校园相关规定、管理校园环境的学校管理层。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表显示可知，学生为28人时严重事故的发生率为2.1%，超过30人时严重事故的发生率为17.1%，几率增加了15%（17.1%-2.1%）。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Overcrowding may force teachers to reduce or even cancel practical, hands-on experiments, which limits students’ ability to engage in active learning.(过度拥挤可能会迫使教师减少甚至取消实际的动手实验，这限制了学生参与主动学习的能力)” 可知，科学教室过度拥挤导致学生成绩下降的原因是学生的实验机会减少。故选C项。 B A farming family in rural New South Wales have drawn attention to their unique 10-story house after a passerby’s video of the high-rise went viral. The Girvan Tower is believed to be the tallest private residence in the country and was built for the late Peter Grey over six years in the 1990s. Andrea and Andrew Evans made a purchase for $779,204 USD, which was reportedly significantly less than the construction cost. The family now run Vast Harvest Permaculture. Permaculture is short for permanent (长久的) agriculture. Vast Harvest Permaculture is a completely self-sustainable (自我维持的) food forest across 400 acres. The Vast Harvest Permaculture business is not new to tourism. The family offer paid tours to visitors, including guided walks and tastings through the “food forest” and a farm-to-table meal. They also run workshops that include building birdhouses, growing mushrooms, and learning the permaculture technique of building swales on contour. But they are ready to expand their offering by opening up a floor in their house to guests, building two additional tiny houses for accommodation, and starting horseback rides — with the goal of reaching more people to educate on self-sufficient living and healthy eating. James, the 21-year-old son of the family, says it’s not the 10-story house but their 24-mile food forest that deserves the attention. It has jack fruit, the largest tree fruit, and 15 different varieties of mangoes. “It’s basically the Garden of Eden or Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory because everything is edible (可食用的) that you see around you,” he said, “It is designed to be a living garden that looks after itself.” James plans to one day take over the farm and business, and never leave. “I don’t just want my kids here and my brother’s kids here. I want my grandkids and great grandkids, all the kids to be here and build a future generation of sustainability,” he said. 24. What do we know about the Girvan Tower? A. The Evans bought it at a bargain price. B. Peter Grey spent over six years designing it. C. It is the tallest building in New South Wales. D. A farming family turned it into a public space. 25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Long-term goals of sustainability. B. Self-sufficient practices on the farm. C. Expanding plans for accommodation. D. Permaculture-themed activities for tourists. 26. Why did James mention the Garden of Eden and Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory? A. To compare the scenes in the stories. B. To show the challenges in food security. C. To stress the role of sustainable farming. D. To illustrate the appeal of the food forest. 27. What is James’s plan for the farm business? A. Labeling the farm a sustainable example. B. Making the business their family heritage. C. Applying technology to the farm operation. D. Transforming the forest into a kids’ playground. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍澳大利亚新南威尔士州一个农场家庭的10层住宅及他们经营的自给自足的永续农业庄园，还有其旅游拓展计划和可持续发展愿景。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Andrea and Andrew Evans made a purchase for $779,204 USD, which was reportedly significantly less than the construction cost.(安德里亚和安德鲁・埃文斯以779204美元的价格买下了它，据报道这比建造成本低得多)”可知，埃文斯一家以低于建造成本的价格买下了吉尔万塔，即很划算的价格。故选A项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The Vast Harvest Permaculture business is not new to tourism. The family offer paid tours to visitors, including guided walks and tastings through the “food forest” and a farm-to-table meal..(广阔收获永续农业庄园在旅游业方面并不陌生。这家人为游客提供付费旅游服务，包括有导游带领的 “食物森林” 漫步、品尝活动以及农场直达餐桌的餐食)” 以及下文内容可知，第三段主要讲述了庄园为游客提供的以永续农业为主题的各类活动及旅游拓展计划。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“James, the 21-year-old son of the family, says it’s not the 10-story house but their 24-mile food forest that deserves the attention. It has jack fruit, the largest tree fruit, and 15 different varieties of mangoes. “It’s basically the Garden of Eden or Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory because everything is edible (可食用的) that you see around you,” he said, “It is designed to be a living garden that looks after itself.”(这个家庭 21 岁的儿子詹姆斯说，值得关注的不是这栋10层的房子，而是他们24英里长的食物森林。这里有世界上最大的木本水果菠萝蜜，还有15种不同品种的芒果。“这里基本上就是伊甸园或威利・旺卡的巧克力工厂，因为你周围看到的一切都是可食用的，” 他说，“它被设计成一个能自我照料的活花园。”)”可知，詹姆斯提到伊甸园和威利・旺卡的巧克力工厂，是为了比喻食物森林里物产丰富、充满吸引力，突出其魅力。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“James plans to one day take over the farm and business, and never leave. “I don’t just want my kids here and my brother’s kids here. I want my grandkids and great grandkids, all the kids to be here and build a future generation of sustainability,” he said.(詹姆斯计划有一天接管农场和生意，永远不离开。“我不只是想让我的孩子、我哥哥的孩子在这里。我想让我的孙辈、曾孙辈，所有的孩子都在这里，培养下一代可持续发展的人，” 他说)” 可知，詹姆斯希望自己及后代一直经营这个农场生意，将其传承下去，成为家族遗产。故选B项。 C Imagine it’s Thanksgiving dinner. The table is loud, your aunt is describing her cat’s new diet, your cousin is arguing about politics, and someone is clattering dishes in the kitchen. And yet, in the middle of all that chaos (混乱), you somehow manage to follow one conversation. Not only that, but if someone across the room says your name, even quietly, you immediately turn your head like your brain has just got a signal. How does that happen? That’s something called the Cocktail Party Effect in action. The term comes from psychologist Colin Cherry, who was trying to understand how we process sounds in noisy environments like, say, a cocktail party. Cherry’s experiments were simple but creative. He played two different recordings of people talking (one in each ear) and asked participants to repeat back the message from just one side. This task, called “shadowing”, revealed something remarkable: people could focus on one message almost perfectly, but they remembered almost nothing from the other. Note “almost nothing”, by the way. The exception here was personally meaningful information. If their own name was spoken in the “ignored” ear, they noticed it! The Cocktail Party Effect often gets misunderstood as proof that humans can multitask and that we can listen to multiple conversations at once. Spoiler (剧透): No, we can’t. When you think you’re listening to two people at once, you’re actually bouncing back and forth between them, missing bits of each. Your brain, as wonderfully brilliant as it is, was designed for focus, not for chaos. The Cocktail Party Effect might sound like a fun party trick, but it actually has real-world implications that reach far beyond the dinner table. In technology, it’s the foundation for how voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant can pick out your command from a noisy room. And in relationships? It’s a gentle reminder that “hearing” and “listening” are certainly not the same thing. Just because your ears are open doesn’t mean your attention is. So let’s come back to that Thanksgiving table The Cocktail Party Effect is what lets s you survive it by sifting through all the chaos so you can focus on one voice at a time. 28. Which of the following is likely the most noticeable to you in dinner chaos? A. The background sound. B. Your aunt’s cat talk. C. The mention of your name. D. A comment on politics. 29. What function do Cherry’s experiments reveal about the brain? A. Emotional control. B. Selective attention. C. High-speed reaction. D. Long-term memory. 30. What is a common misunderstanding of the Cocktail Party Effect? A. It illustrates humans’ listening skills. B. It reflects the brain’s focusing power. C. It proves humans’ multitasking ability. D. It confirms the brain’s processing limitations. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the Cocktail Party Effect? A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Worried. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍“鸡尾酒会效应”的定义、相关实验、常见误解及其在现实生活和科技中的应用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“And yet, in the middle of all that chaos (混乱), you somehow manage to follow one conversation. Not only that, but if someone across the room says your name, even quietly, you immediately turn your head like your brain has just got a signal.(然而，在这一切混乱之中，你却能设法跟上一段对话。不仅如此，如果房间对面有人叫你的名字，即使声音很小，你也会立刻转过头来，就像你的大脑刚刚收到了信号一样)”以及第二段中的“If their own name was spoken in the “ignored” ear, they noticed it!(如果他们自己的名字在“被忽略”的耳朵里被说出，他们会注意到的！)”可知，在晚宴的混乱中，最容易引起你注意的是有人提到你的名字。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He played two different recordings of people talking (one in each ear) and asked participants to repeat back the message from just one side. This task, called “shadowing”, revealed something remarkable: people could focus on one message almost perfectly, but they remembered almost nothing from the other.(他播放了两段不同的人声录音（一只耳朵一段），并要求参与者重复其中一边的信息。这项被称为“跟读”的任务揭示了一个显著的现象：人们几乎可以完美地专注于一个信息，但对另一个信息却几乎一无所知)”可知，彻里的实验表明，大脑可以专注于一个信息而忽略另一个，体现了大脑的选择性注意力功能。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The Cocktail Party Effect often gets misunderstood as proof that humans can multitask and that we can listen to multiple conversations at once.(鸡尾酒会效应经常被误解为人类能够同时处理多项任务、能够同时听多段对话的证据)”可知，人们对鸡尾酒会效应常见的误解是认为它证明了人类的多任务处理能力。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Cocktail Party Effect might sound like a fun party trick, but it actually has real-world implications that reach far beyond the dinner table. In technology, it’s the foundation for how voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant can pick out your command from a noisy room.(鸡尾酒会效应听起来可能像一个有趣的派对技巧，但它实际上具有远超餐桌的现实意义。在科技领域，它是 Siri、Alexa 和谷歌助手等语音助手能够在嘈杂的房间里识别出你的指令的基础)”可知，作者提到了鸡尾酒会效应在科技领域的重要应用，语气中体现出对其应用的肯定。故选A项。 D All good things must come to an end, and the astonishing life of the International Space Station (ISS) is no exception. First launched in 1998, the ISS is used for a wide array of experiments and has hosted nearly 300 astronauts from 26 different countries in an impressive display of international cooperation. However, after a quarter century in action, the ISS is wearing down. Life in orbit has subjected the station to a type of wear-and-tear beyond what any earthly object could handle. Not only that, but in a world where technological advancements are coming at a fast pace, the technology built into the ISS is becoming outdated. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and its partner agencies debated multiple approaches to decommissioning (终止使用) the ISS. One early idea was to move the ISS to even higher orbit, but that would be very risky because, without consistent maintenance, the station could break down and leave behind parts that could rain down on Earth, causing serious destruction. They also considered taking apart the station in space and bringing it home piece by piece, but this process would be too expensive and complex. The only realistic end to the ISS is to bring the whole thing crashing down to Earth at once. Fortunately, Earth’s atmosphere will help to reduce the danger by incinerating a large part of the ISS as it goes downwards. This will happen because the speedy fall from space will create enough friction(摩擦) between the station and the surrounding air to start a fire. However, many parts of the ISS will survive this breakup, and those are expected to land in a point in the South Pacific Ocean called Point Nemo, which is considered the most remote location on Earth, a technological graveyard. NASA has announced that it will not create the replacement for the ISS. Instead, a new order is set to be established, in which private companies operate space stations. China’s Tiangong Space Station was launched in 2021, and it seems clear now that the future of space exploration lies in multiple stations, not one central hub like the ISS. 32. What is the current situation of the ISS? A. It lacks research investment. B. It is nearing the end of its service life. C. It requires technological updates. D. It is undergoing a cycle of performance tests. 33. What concerns NASA and its partner agencies about decommissioning the ISS? A. Safety and expense. B. Techniques and policies. C. Pollution and criticism. D. Responsibilities and risks. 34. What does the underlined word “incinerating” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Sweeping away. B. Crashing into. C. Cutting off. D. Burning up. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Where Will the International Space Station Go? B. How Far Can the Tiangong Space Station Reach? C. Is the International Space Station the Final Frontier? D. What Awaits Beyond the International Space Station? 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍国际空间站服役超25年趋于老化，美航天局及合作机构确定其坠毁退役的方案，也提及未来太空空间站的发展新趋势。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“All good things must come to an end, and the astonishing life of the International Space Station (ISS) is no exception.(天下没有不散的筵席，国际空间站的传奇历程也不例外。)”以及第二段中的“However, after a quarter century in action, the ISS is wearing down.(然而，经过二十五年的运行，国际空间站正在老化。)”可知，国际空间站目前的状况是即将结束其服役生涯。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“One early idea was to move the ISS to even higher orbit, but that would be very risky because, without consistent maintenance, the station could break down and leave behind parts that could rain down on Earth, causing serious destruction. They also considered taking apart the station in space and bringing it home piece by piece, but this process would be too expensive and complex.(一个早期的想法是将国际空间站移至更高的轨道，但这会非常危险，因为如果没有持续的维护，空间站可能会损坏，其部件可能会坠落到地球上，造成严重破坏。他们还考虑过在太空中拆解空间站，将其逐块带回地球，但这个过程既昂贵又复杂。)”可知，美国国家航空航天局及其合作机构对国际空间站退役的考量，既担心更高轨道方案的安全风险，又顾虑太空拆解方案的高昂成本与复杂性，核心关注的是安全与费用问题。故选A项。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Fortunately, Earth’s atmosphere will help to reduce the danger by incinerating a large part of the ISS as it goes downwards. This will happen because the speedy fall from space will create enough friction between the station and the surrounding air to start a fire.(幸运的是，当国际空间站坠落时，地球大气层会通过焚烧空间站的大部分部件来降低危险。这是因为从太空快速坠落会使空间站与周围空气之间产生足够的摩擦从而引发火灾。)”可知，大气层会通过燃烧的方式烧毁国际空间站的大部分部件，由此可推知，incinerating的意思是“烧毁、烧掉”，与“burning up”意义相近。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中的“All good things must come to an end, and the astonishing life of the International Space Station (ISS) is no exception.(天下没有不散的筵席，国际空间站的传奇历程也不例外。)”可知，文章围绕国际空间站展开，先点明其即将走向终结的现状及原因，再介绍退役的不同方案并敲定最终坠毁方案，最后说明坠毁后残留部件的预计落点，全程围绕国际空间站的最终归宿展开，“国际空间站的归宿在何方？”能精准概括全文核心内容，适合作为标题。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.

It didn’t take me long to figure out that I wasn’t invited to the party. I got off the bus and saw my friends huddled under the tree where we all stood every morning before the first bell. They hastily stuffed small white envelopes into backpacks. I knew that Bridget’s party was this weekend, just two days away. Bridget was one of the popular ones. She was thin and wore clothes that looked like they came straight from the pages of magazines. My stomach churned (翻腾) , and I hoped that Bridget was still holding an envelope with my name on it to be delivered later. But my friends’ too-eager hellos told me that everyone already knew who was invited and who wasn’t. “Hi,” I responded, my head swimming with a sinking feeling that I wasn’t worthy. Thankfully, the bell rang and I hurried toward my English class. However, I couldn’t concentrate in class. Why hadn’t she invited me? Why did she invite every person in my group except me? I tried to think of any interactions I’d had with Bridget recently. A few days earlier, we’d been partners during a project. I was intent (专注的) on getting the project done and she was intent on looking at teen magazines. She barely spoke to me except to say, “You’re so serious. You should smile more.” By the end of the second period, I had overheard all the details about the party. During the third period, Meredith, asked me if I was going to Bridget’s party. Instead of saying no, I found myself repeating what I’d heard earlier, as if I were going, too. Meredith said, “I wish she’d invited me so I could tell her no. She’s such a show-off.” Where did Meredith get her confidence? I wondered. For a moment, I froze, suddenly aware that I didn’t need to go either — even if I was invited. Why should I care, anyway? After school, Becky found me in the bus lines, and whispered, “Bridget just told me she might invite you.” Why “might”? So what if I don’t go to the party. I’m still me whether I go or not. And it’s just for one night. So what’s the big deal? My thoughts were spinning. 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。 At that moment, I spotted Bridget heading toward my line. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, I was lost in thought, with the envelope in my hand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: At that moment, I spotted Bridget heading toward my line. Involuntarily, I tensed. Pretending not to notice her, I looked straight ahead at the bus pulling up. The next minute, I felt a hand on my arm. I hesitantly turned my head and forced a smile. On Bridget’s delicate, slender palm rested an envelope. “Will you come to my party?” she asked, her voice sweet but somewhat hollow, as if she were reciting a line. The crowd was moving me now, and someone behind me yelled, “Get on the bus!” In a hasty motion, she slipped it into my hand before I could respond. Back home, I was lost in thought, with the envelope in my hand. Being invited did make a girl like me feel special and seen. But she hadn’t wanted me in the beginning. I was an afterthought. Recalling Meredith’s words, I realized I didn’t need to prove my worth by attending a party that didn’t feel right for me. The next morning, I found Bridget before class and handed the envelope back. “I’m sorry, but I can’t make it.” I said calmly. Turning away, I felt lighter and freer. True confidence lies in honoring your own feelings. Sometimes, saying “no” to others means saying “yes” to yourself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者发现自己未被邀请参加热门女孩布里奇特的派对而失落困惑，听闻Meredith的话后开始反思，又意外收到布里奇特“可能的邀请”，内心陷入挣扎的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“就在那时，我看到布里奇特朝我这边的队伍走来。”可知，接下来可描写作者看到布里奇特走来时的紧张、局促，布里奇特递出邀请信封的动作和语气，以及“我”来不及回应便被人群推着上车、接过信封的仓促场景。 ② 由第二段首句“回到家，我手里拿着信封，陷入了沉思。”可知，接下来可描写作者拿着信封的心理活动——既因被邀请而有一丝窃喜，又清醒地意识到自己只是被“临时想起”，回忆起Meredith的话后坚定了自己的想法，最终决定拒绝邀请。 2. 续写线索： 看到布里奇特走来——内心紧张、假装不在意——布里奇特递出邀请信封——仓促接过信封上车——回家后陷入沉思、剖析内心——回忆Meredith的话、认清自身价值——决定拒绝邀请——领悟自信的真谛 3.词类激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/take notice of/spot ②大叫：yell/shout ③在于：lie in/consist in 情绪类 ①挤出微笑：force a smile/manage a smile ②感到放松：feel light/feel relieved/feel relaxed 【点睛】【高分句型1】Pretending not to notice her, I looked straight ahead at the bus pulling up. （运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】“Will you come to my party?” she asked, her voice sweet but somewhat hollow, as if she were reciting a line. （运用了as if引导的方式状语从句） 【高分句型3】Recalling Meredith’s words, I realized I didn’t need to prove my worth by attending a party that didn’t feel right for me.（运用了现在分词作状语以及that引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 台州市2025学年第一学期高二年级期末质量评估试题英语 2026.02 本试题卷分选择题和非选择题部分，全卷共10页，选择题部分1至8页，非选择题部分9至10页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟. 考生注意： 1.答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上， 2.答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效. 选择题部分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is most probably the man?

The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) has issued specific recommendations regarding maximum class sizes to ensure safety in these environments: ●Elementary School: 22 students per class ●Middle School: 24 students per class ●High School: 24 students per class Data supports a clear link between class size and the frequency of accidents in science laboratories. The following chart illustrates the distribution (分布) of laboratory accidents based on class size: Research indicates that in standard science laboratories, the likelihood of accidents increases when the number of students is over 22 per class. Overcrowded science classrooms are also linked to lower student achievement. Hands-on science investigations are crucial for students to gain a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. However, these activities can only be effective in a safe, well-organized environment with sufficient space. Overcrowding may force teachers to reduce or even cancel practical, hands-on experiments, which limits students’ ability to engage in active learning. Additionally, supervising (管理) larger groups of students makes it harder for teachers to maintain discipline, further compromising safety and the learning environment. The NSTA recommends the following amount of space for specialized classroom/laboratory combinations and for a standard science laboratory. Class Type Elementary School Middle School High School Classroom/laboratory 45 square feet/student 50 square feet/student 60 square feet/student Science laboratory 40 square feet/student 45 square feet/student 50 square feet/student To ensure the safety of both students and instructors, it is critical to follow these guidelines and avoid overcrowding in science classrooms and laboratories. 21. Who is the text intended for? A. Students. B. Lab designers. C. Researchers. D. School authorities. 22. By what percentage do serious accidents increase when class size rises from 28 to 32? A. 2.1%. B. 15%. C. 15.7%. D. 17.1%. 23. What leads to lower student achievement in crowded science classrooms? A. Weakened interest in investigations. B. Rising difficulty in cooperation. C. Reduced opportunities for experiments. D. Increasing conflicts during interactions. B A farming family in rural New South Wales have drawn attention to their unique 10-story house after a passerby’s video of the high-rise went viral. The Girvan Tower is believed to be the tallest private residence in the country and was built for the late Peter Grey over six years in the 1990s. Andrea and Andrew Evans made a purchase for $779,204 USD, which was reportedly significantly less than the construction cost. The family now run Vast Harvest Permaculture. Permaculture is short for permanent (长久的) agriculture. Vast Harvest Permaculture is a completely self-sustainable (自我维持的) food forest across 400 acres. The Vast Harvest Permaculture business is not new to tourism. The family offer paid tours to visitors, including guided walks and tastings through the “food forest” and a farm-to-table meal. They also run workshops that include building birdhouses, growing mushrooms, and learning the permaculture technique of building swales on contour. But they are ready to expand their offering by opening up a floor in their house to guests, building two additional tiny houses for accommodation, and starting horseback rides — with the goal of reaching more people to educate on self-sufficient living and healthy eating. James, the 21-year-old son of the family, says it’s not the 10-story house but their 24-mile food forest that deserves the attention. It has jack fruit, the largest tree fruit, and 15 different varieties of mangoes. “It’s basically the Garden of Eden or Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory because everything is edible (可食用的) that you see around you,” he said, “It is designed to be a living garden that looks after itself.” James plans to one day take over the farm and business, and never leave. “I don’t just want my kids here and my brother’s kids here. I want my grandkids and great grandkids, all the kids to be here and build a future generation of sustainability,” he said. 24. What do we know about the Girvan Tower? A The Evans bought it at a bargain price. B. Peter Grey spent over six years designing it. C. It is the tallest building in New South Wales. D. A farming family turned it into a public space. 25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Long-term goals of sustainability. B. Self-sufficient practices on the farm. C. Expanding plans for accommodation. D. Permaculture-themed activities for tourists. 26. Why did James mention the Garden of Eden and Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory? A. To compare the scenes in the stories. B. To show the challenges in food security. C. To stress the role of sustainable farming. D. To illustrate the appeal of the food forest. 27. What is James’s plan for the farm business? A. Labeling the farm a sustainable example. B. Making the business their family heritage. C. Applying technology to the farm operation. D. Transforming the forest into a kids’ playground. C Imagine it’s Thanksgiving dinner. The table is loud, your aunt is describing her cat’s new diet, your cousin is arguing about politics, and someone is clattering dishes in the kitchen. And yet, in the middle of all that chaos (混乱), you somehow manage to follow one conversation. Not only that, but if someone across the room says your name, even quietly, you immediately turn your head like your brain has just got a signal. How does that happen? That’s something called the Cocktail Party Effect in action. The term comes from psychologist Colin Cherry, who was trying to understand how we process sounds in noisy environments like, say, a cocktail party. Cherry’s experiments were simple but creative. He played two different recordings of people talking (one in each ear) and asked participants to repeat back the message from just one side. This task, called “shadowing”, revealed something remarkable: people could focus on one message almost perfectly, but they remembered almost nothing from the other. Note “almost nothing”, by the way. The exception here was personally meaningful information. If their own name was spoken in the “ignored” ear, they noticed it! The Cocktail Party Effect often gets misunderstood as proof that humans can multitask and that we can listen to multiple conversations at once. Spoiler (剧透): No, we can’t. When you think you’re listening to two people at once, you’re actually bouncing back and forth between them, missing bits of each. Your brain, as wonderfully brilliant as it is, was designed for focus, not for chaos. The Cocktail Party Effect might sound like a fun party trick, but it actually has real-world implications that reach far beyond the dinner table. In technology, it’s the foundation for how voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant can pick out your command from a noisy room. And in relationships? It’s a gentle reminder that “hearing” and “listening” are certainly not the same thing. Just because your ears are open doesn’t mean your attention is. So let’s come back to that Thanksgiving table. The Cocktail Party Effect is what lets s you survive it by sifting through all the chaos so you can focus on one voice at a time. 28. Which of the following is likely the most noticeable to you in dinner chaos? A. The background sound. B. Your aunt’s cat talk. C. The mention of your name. D. A comment on politics. 29. What function do Cherry’s experiments reveal about the brain? A. Emotional control. B. Selective attention. C. High-speed reaction. D. Long-term memory. 30 What is a common misunderstanding of the Cocktail Party Effect? A. It illustrates humans’ listening skills. B. It reflects the brain’s focusing power. C. It proves humans’ multitasking ability. D. It confirms the brain’s processing limitations. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the Cocktail Party Effect? A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Worried. D All good things must come to an end, and the astonishing life of the International Space Station (ISS) is no exception. First launched in 1998, the ISS is used for a wide array of experiments and has hosted nearly 300 astronauts from 26 different countries in an impressive display of international cooperation. However, after a quarter century in action, the ISS is wearing down. Life in orbit has subjected the station to a type of wear-and-tear beyond what any earthly object could handle. Not only that, but in a world where technological advancements are coming at a fast pace, the technology built into the ISS is becoming outdated. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and its partner agencies debated multiple approaches to decommissioning (终止使用) the ISS. One early idea was to move the ISS to even higher orbit, but that would be very risky because, without consistent maintenance, the station could break down and leave behind parts that could rain down on Earth, causing serious destruction. They also considered taking apart the station in space and bringing it home piece by piece, but this process would be too expensive and complex. The only realistic end to the ISS is to bring the whole thing crashing down to Earth at once. Fortunately, Earth’s atmosphere will help to reduce the danger by incinerating a large part of the ISS as it goes downwards. This will happen because the speedy fall from space will create enough friction(摩擦) between the station and the surrounding air to start a fire. However, many parts of the ISS will survive this breakup, and those are expected to land in a point in the South Pacific Ocean called Point Nemo, which is considered the most remote location on Earth, a technological graveyard. NASA has announced that it will not create the replacement for the ISS. Instead, a new order is set to be established, in which private companies operate space stations. China’s Tiangong Space Station was launched in 2021, and it seems clear now that the future of space exploration lies in multiple stations, not one central hub like the ISS. 32. What is the current situation of the ISS? A. It lacks research investment. B. It is nearing the end of its service life. C. It requires technological updates. D. It is undergoing a cycle of performance tests. 33. What concerns NASA and its partner agencies about decommissioning the ISS? A. Safety and expense. B. Techniques and policies. C. Pollution and criticism. D. Responsibilities and risks. 34. What does the underlined word “incinerating” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Sweeping away. B. Crashing into. C. Cutting off. D. Burning up. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Where Will the International Space Station Go? B. How Far Can the Tiangong Space Station Reach? C. Is the International Space Station the Final Frontier? D. What Awaits Beyond the International Space Station? 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.

It didn’t take me long to figure out that I wasn’t invited to the party. I got off the bus and saw my friends huddled under the tree where we all stood every morning before the first bell. They hastily stuffed small white envelopes into backpacks. I knew that Bridget’s party was this weekend, just two days away. Bridget was one of the popular ones. She was thin and wore clothes that looked like they came straight from the pages of magazines. My stomach churned (翻腾) , and I hoped that Bridget was still holding an envelope with my name on it to be delivered later. But my friends’ too-eager hellos told me that everyone already knew who was invited and who wasn’t. “Hi,” I responded, my head swimming with a sinking feeling that I wasn’t worthy. Thankfully, the bell rang and I hurried toward my English class. However, I couldn’t concentrate in class. Why hadn’t she invited me? Why did she invite every person in my group except me? I tried to think of any interactions I’d had with Bridget recently. A few days earlier, we’d been partners during a project. I was intent (专注的) on getting the project done and she was intent on looking at teen magazines. She barely spoke to me except to say, “You’re so serious. You should smile more.” By the end of the second period, I had overheard all the details about the party. During the third period, Meredith, asked me if I was going to Bridget’s party. Instead of saying no, I found myself repeating what I’d heard earlier, as if I were going, too. Meredith said, “I wish she’d invited me so I could tell her no. She’s such a show-off.” Where did Meredith get her confidence? I wondered. For a moment, I froze, suddenly aware that I didn’t need to go either — even if I was invited. Why should I care, anyway? After school, Becky found me in the bus lines, and whispered, “Bridget just told me she might invite you.” Why “might”? So what if I don’t go to the party. I’m still me whether I go or not. And it’s just for one night. So what’s the big deal? My thoughts were spinning. 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。 At that moment, I spotted Bridget heading toward my line. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, I was lost in thought, with the envelope in my hand. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
