Additional bags and oversized/ overweight bags may be allowed on the plane if there is enough room. There will be a fee for such bags (see the table below). Please note that if your bag breaks more than one rule, then you must pay a fee for each rule broken. Bag Fees Rule Fee Overweight* Bags heavier than 10 kilos ¥100 per kilo over limit Oversized** Bags larger than 110cm×60cm×30cm ¥250 per bag Extra bags ¥400 per extra bag * No bag over 15 kilos will be allowed on the plane. ** No bag over 150cm long or 80cm high may be taken on the plane. Passengers must check in such bags before boarding the plane. Safety Rules For the safety of our passengers, the following items must not be taken onto the plane: -Bottles containing gas (e.g., cigarette lighters) -Bottles containing any cream, oil or other liquid that are over 100ml. Note: If you have any liquid medicines over 100ml that you must use during your flight, please contact our customer service manager at 34533566 to make arrangements at least 24 hours before your departure. You will need to have a doctor’s letter explaining why you need the medicine. 1. What is not allowed to be taken onto the plane by a passenger? A. A 130ml bottle of medicine. B. A 90ml bottle of oxygen. C. A bag measuring 120cm in length. D. A bag weighing 10 kilos. 2. How much will a passenger pay for a carry-on bag that measures 100cm×50cm×35cm and weighs 12 kilos? A. ¥100. B. ¥350. C. ¥450. D. ¥750. 3. Where is this text most likely from? A. An airport announcement. B. A travel brochure. C. An airline security manual. D. An airline website. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文，文章主要介绍了关于旅客乘坐飞机携带物品的一些安全须知以及收费标准。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Safety Rules部分“For the safety of our passengers, the following items must not be taken onto the plane: -Bottles containing gas (e.g., cigarette lighters)(为确保乘客安全，以下物品禁止携带登机：——装有气体的瓶子（例如打火机）)”可知，装有气体的瓶子是禁止携带登机的，因此一瓶90ml的氧气是禁止带上飞机的。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Bag Fees部分“Bags heavier than 10 kilos ¥100 per kilo over limit Bags larger than 110cm×60cm×30cm ¥250 per bag(行李重量超过10公斤，超限每公斤¥100；行李尺寸超过110cm×60cm×30cm，每件行李¥250)”可知，尺寸为100cm×50cm×35cm重12 kilos的行李，宽度为50cm，属于超大行李，应收取¥250；且超过2kilos，应收取2×¥100。故总共应收取¥250+2×¥100=¥450。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章的小标题“Carry-on Bag Rules(随身行李规定)”“Bag Fees(行李费用)”“Safety Rules(安全规定)”和“Note: (注意事项)”可知，文章包含行李规定、收费表、安全规定和注意事项的详细信息，且全文用的第二人称you，故可推知，本文来自航空公司官网，供乘客们查询相关信息。故选D。 B John Arrillaga Sr, the pioneering Silicon Valley developer, was one of Stanford’s greatest benefactors (捐助者), leaving a legacy literally built into every corner of campus. Over decades, Arrillaga’s generous donations and hands-on efforts reshaped Stanford’s campus. Though best known for athletic facilities, his true impact extended far beyond. As his longtime friend John Etchemendy noted, “Hundreds of projects bear his mark, yet rarely his name.” Nowhere was this quiet dedication clearer than in the reconstruction of Stanford Stadium. He personally funded and oversaw every detail — from selecting palm trees to designing seats to mapping walkways — yet refused to put his name on it. Born into a working-class family, young Arrillaga couldn’t afford a proper suit for his high school graduation, having to borrow an ill-fitting jacket with sleeves that barely reached his wrists. He unexpectedly attended Stanford on a basketball scholarship, working multiple campus jobs to make ends meet. After playing professionally in Spain, he returned to develop Silicon Valley offices during the tech boom, becoming a millionaire. True to his humble beginnings, he started repaying Stanford almost immediately after graduation — beginning with modest athletic department gifts that grew into historic donations exceeding $250 million. Through his scholarship programs, he’s helped over 300 students facing similar financial challenges. One day, a young donor moved by Arrillaga’s generosity shared how witnessing the selfless giving had profoundly shaped his devotion to charitable work. Realizing the ripple (涟漪) effect of his actions through others, Arrillaga months later made a rare exception: he permitted his name to appear on just one building — not for personal distinction, but as a nod to the power of leading by example. While his benefaction helped communities across Silicon Valley through donations to police stations, libraries, and other public spaces, his strongest ties always remained with Stanford University. 4. What was Arrillaga’s key role in the stadium reconstruction? A. A full-project supporter. B. A stadium co-investor. C. A landscape designer. D. A building material producer. 5. What motivated Arrillaga’s lifelong commitment to Stanford? A. The millionaire lifestyle experience. B. The desire for public recognition. C. The fate-changing scholarship. D. The business investment strategies. 6. Why did Arrillaga finally allow his name to appear on one building? A. To accept praise from the public. B. To show the ripple effect of athletics. C. To fulfill a request from his university. D. To inspire more charitable actions. 7. What does Arrillaga’s experience show? A. Wealth necessitates public display. B. Silent impact outweighs visible recognition. C. Humble beginnings can lead to fortunes. D. Athletic excellence drives social change. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了硅谷先驱开发者、斯坦福大学最大捐助者之一约翰·阿里拉加 (John Arrillaga Sr)的生平事迹、慷慨捐赠及其深远影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Nowhere was this quiet dedication clearer than in the reconstruction of Stanford Stadium. He personally funded and oversaw every detail — from selecting palm trees to designing seats to mapping walkways — yet refused to put his name on it. (在斯坦福体育场的重建中，这种默默奉献的精神体现得最为明显。他亲自资助并监督每一个细节——从挑选棕榈树到设计座位，再到规划走道——但他拒绝将自己的名字署在上面。)”可知，阿里拉加是体育场重建的全项目支持者。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He unexpectedly attended Stanford on a basketball scholarship, working multiple campus jobs to make ends meet. After playing professionally in Spain, he returned to develop Silicon Valley offices during the tech boom, becoming a millionaire. True to his humble beginnings, he started repaying Stanford almost immediately after graduation — beginning with modest athletic department gifts that grew into historic donations exceeding $250 million. (他意外地凭借篮球奖学金进入斯坦福大学，并在校内做多份工作以维持生计。在西班牙打职业比赛后，他在科技繁荣时期回到硅谷开发办公楼，成为百万富翁。他始终没有忘记自己卑微的出身，毕业后几乎立刻就开始回报斯坦福大学——从向体育部赠送微薄的礼物开始，后来捐赠额超过2.5亿美元，成为历史性的捐赠。)”可知，改变命运的奖学金激发了阿里拉加对斯坦福大学一生的承诺。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One day, a young donor moved by Arrillaga’s generosity shared how witnessing the selfless giving had profoundly shaped his devotion to charitable work. Realizing the ripple (涟漪) effect of his actions through others, Arrillaga months later made a rare exception: he permitted his name to appear on just one building — not for personal distinction, but as a nod to the power of leading by example. (一天，一位被阿里拉加的慷慨所感动的年轻捐赠者分享了目睹这种无私奉献如何深刻地影响了他对慈善事业的投入。意识到自己的行为通过他人产生的涟漪效应后，几个月后，阿里拉加破例允许自己的名字出现在一座建筑上——不是为了个人荣誉，而是为了肯定以身作则的力量。)”可推知，阿里拉加最终允许在一座建筑上出现自己的名字是为了激励更多的慈善行为。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第二段“Hundreds of projects bear his mark, yet rarely his name. (数百个项目都带有他的印记，但很少有他的名字。)”和最后一段“While his benefaction helped communities across Silicon Valley through donations to police stations, libraries, and other public spaces, his strongest ties always remained with Stanford University. (虽然他的捐赠帮助了硅谷各地的社区，包括警察局、图书馆和其他公共空间，但他与斯坦福大学的联系始终最为紧密。)”可知，文章主要介绍了硅谷先驱开发者、斯坦福大学最大捐助者之一约翰·阿里拉加 (John Arrillaga Sr)的生平事迹、慷慨捐赠及其深远影响，他默默奉献，不求名利，却对斯坦福大学和硅谷社区产生了巨大影响。由此推知，阿里拉加的经历表明默默奉献的影响胜过可见的认可。故选B项。 C When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as “carbon sinks” — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 8. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 9. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse 10. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 11. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现，澳大利亚一处热带雨林从“碳汇”转变为“碳源”，即释放的碳比吸收的多，分析了这一转变的原因、意义，并引用专家观点说明相关长期数据的价值。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as ‘carbon sinks’ — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite.(说到给地球降温，热带雨林扮演着“碳汇”的角色——它们的树木从空气中吸收二氧化碳。现在，一项新研究发现澳大利亚的一处雨林却在做相反的事情)”以及第二段中的“researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago.(研究人员发现，这片森林释放的碳比吸收的多，这种转变大约发生在25年前)”可知，该研究聚焦于澳大利亚雨林碳平衡的变化（从吸收碳变为释放碳）。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University.(因为树木在枯萎腐烂时，会将储存的碳重新释放到大气中西悉尼大学森林生态系统研究员、该研究的主要作者汉娜·卡尔说，这种转变表明，这片澳大利亚雨林的树木死亡速度比几十年前更快了)”可知，第三段中的转变（从碳汇变为碳源）表明树木死亡率上升。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,(澳大利亚的湿润热带地区比其他大陆的热带雨林所处的气候更温暖、更干燥，因此有可能成为世界其他地区热带雨林未来遭遇的情况的analog)”可知，澳大利亚雨林的气候环境与其他地区未来可能出现的情况有相似性，由此可猜测analog意为“相似的例子”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.”(拉斐尔・特鲁夫任职于澳大利亚墨尔本大学，主要研究森林动态，且并未参与该项研究。他向《卫报》表示，这类数据集有助于追踪气候与环境的变化。“它能让我们将理论与现实对照，更深入地了解这些生态系统的运行机制。”)”可知，拉斐尔·特鲁夫认为这些长期数据集能帮助人们洞察真相（了解系统运作、验证理论）。故选A项。 D Most of us were raised to think that smart people always know the right answers. From gold stars in school to performance reviews in the office, we’re rewarded for certainty. Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon”. His point is unsettling: The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices. The hardest problems we face in life, whether in careers, relationships, or society, rarely come with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The old playbook of being a “right-answer getter” not only fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We often treat complex problems like simple ones until we are faced with the reality.” Our personal and professional environments are more uncertain than ever. Technology evolves faster than regulation, workplaces are more diverse, and social standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward. Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system (seek rewards), the Protect system (avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system (engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition (直觉) not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.” 12. What is implied by mentioning the spoon-feeding? A. Certainty might ruin decision-making. B. Average people can learn few facts. C. Smart habits secure positive outcomes. D. Simple tools secretly boost creativity. 13. Which might be a “moment of unease”? A. Profiting from stable investments with spare funds. B. Trying to find a job overseas when a parent falls ill. C. Treating difficult problems with one’s first intuition. D. Continuing to develop in one’s familiar research field. 14. What can make leaders fail according to the author? A. Shifting standards. B. Lacking experience. C. Ignoring principles. D. Overlooking doubts. 15. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? A. Intuition types and brain functions. B. Initial doubts and competing goals. C. Brain systems and connection forms. D. Scientific theories and workable tips. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要阐述了人们常被教导追求确定答案，但这会阻碍明智决策。复杂问题无唯一解，过度追求确定性易适得其反。应善用大脑的审慎系统，拥抱怀疑，以学习心态应对不确定性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon”. His point is unsettling: The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices.(然而，正如弗吉尼亚大学达顿商学院的布迪安·帕尔马尔教授在其新书《激进的怀疑》中所指出的那样：“确定性会让我们变得盲目。一味地灌输所教会我们的，不过是勺子的形状而已”。他的观点令人不安：我们赖以自认为聪明的那些习惯——急于追求最终目标、简化复杂问题、美化最初的反应——恰恰是那些阻碍我们做出明智选择的习惯)”可知，提到“填鸭式教育”所隐含的意思是过分的确定性可能会破坏决策过程。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty.(这就是帕尔玛所说的“不安时刻”：这类决策涉及多重标准，包含相互冲突的目标、巨大的风险以及极大的不确定性)”可知，“不安时刻”涉及多重标准，包含相互冲突的目标、巨大的风险以及极大的不确定性。B选项“当父母生病时，却试图去国外找工作”符合“不安时刻”的描述。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward.(我亲眼目睹过一些经验丰富的领导者会忽视那些警示信号，因为他们过于执着于“感觉是对的”这种想法。他们本应停下来或深入探究，却选择了简化问题，从而错失了那些由怀疑所指向的机遇)”可知，导致领导者失败的原因是忽视疑虑。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system (seek rewards), the Protect system (avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system (engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition (直觉) not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.”(我们的大脑由相互关联的系统构成：追求系统（寻求奖励）、保护系统（避免威胁）以及暂停并整合系统（质疑并重新审视）。以往基于实证的研究表明，我们大多数人往往让前两个系统占据主导地位，要么勇往直前，要么因恐惧而退缩。从行为科学的角度来看，更明智的做法是花足够的时间去留意复杂性、质疑假设，并将我们的直觉（直觉）视为一种可供选择的决策方式，而非唯一的决定依据。实际上，这意味着要同时兼顾相互冲突的目标，并学会说“我正在学习”，而非“我知道”)”可知，最后一段主要谈论了科学理论与实用建议。故选D。 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。 When Marie Benton first moved to London in 2008, joining a choir (合唱团) helped her fit in the new environment. ____16____ With her tireless efforts, the Choir with No Name (TCWNN) was officially born.

Some kids ran back and forth shouting loudly, while others rode scooters (滑板车) fast down the sidewalk, nearly bumping into passersby — several even cut through neighbours’ front yards, destroying flowers in the neat gardens. He signed softly and turned back inside, his eyes falling on the cover of a dog-eared book — a gift from Grandma. A wave of warmth swept over him. He’d once been too restless to sit down. It was Grandma that had turned his dislike of reading into passion. Those boring afternoons were turned into adventures because Grandma always had a way to make reading feel like treasure hunts. With newfound passion, he stepped into a wonderland through those pages. Suddenly, he was drugged back to reality from his sweet memories by the yelling from a neighbour, “Ruined my garden again? Can’t you kids read some books?” An idea popped into Todd’s mind. Why not build a small book box right in his front yard? Wasn’t this a perfect way to change the messy community around him? Without hesitation, he crafted the box from old wooden pieces, carved a tiny shelf inside and put in his favourite children’s books, including the gift from Grandma. For the sign on the box, he painted “Reading Comer for Kids”. He placed the box right under the big oak tree where the kids dashed past every single day. Yet the box sat lonely for days. Kids still rushed past, never sparing a glance. The neighborhood didn’t shift one bit. Feeling defeated, Todd walked out to the box and picked up a book. As he opened it, a small, faded sticker slipped out from the pages, landing on the grass. It was the shiny star he had been hunting for — one of the “secret treasures” Grandma used to hide for him to find. 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。 Recalling Grandma’s tricks, Todd knew what he could do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With more kids drawn to the magic of stories, the community changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Recalling Grandma’s tricks, Todd knew what he could do. He hunted through his old books, hiding small stickers, colorful paper clips and tiny toy figures as “secret treasures” between the pages, just like Grandma used to do. He also added a note on the box: “Find the hidden treasures in books!” The next morning, he waited quietly by the window. A boy riding a scooter slowed down, curious about the note. He stopped, opened a book and let out a happy shout when he found a star sticker. With more kids drawn to the magic of stories, the community changed. The noisy shouts and scooter sounds faded, replaced by soft reading voices under the oak tree. Kids no longer ran wildly or destroyed gardens; instead, they sat together, sharing interesting plots from the books. Neighbours smiled when they saw the quiet reading corner, some even bringing their own old books to add to the box. Todd looked at the lively scene, holding Grandma’s book tightly. He knew Grandma would be proud — his small idea had turned the messy neighborhood into a warm, joyful place filled with the charm of stories. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Todd看到社区里孩子们吵闹乱跑、破坏花园，联想到奶奶曾用藏“宝藏”的方式让他爱上阅读，于是动手制作了一个读书角。起初读书角无人问津，他借鉴奶奶的方法在书中藏了小惊喜，吸引了孩子们。最终，读书角改变了吵闹的社区，让这里充满书香，变得温暖而欢乐。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“回想起奶奶的那些小把戏，Todd心里清楚自己能怎么做”可知，第一段可描写借鉴奶奶的方法在书中藏了小惊喜，吸引了孩子们。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着越来越多的孩子被故事的魅力所吸引，这个社区也发生了变化”可知，第二段可描写读书角改变了吵闹的社区，让这里充满书香，变得温暖而欢乐。 2.续写线索：Todd在书里藏惊喜——孩子们被吸引——社区发生改变——社区变得温暖快乐——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打开：open/unfold ②取代：replace/take the place of ③破坏：destroy/damage 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/pleased ②魅力：charm/glamour 【点睛】[高分句型1] He stopped, opened a book and let out a happy shout when he found a star sticker.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Todd looked at the lively scene, holding Grandma’s book tightly.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年2月高三级综合训练 英语 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Carry-on Bag Rules Due to limited cabin space, to ensure the safety of you and our crew, please follow our simple bag rules. • Each passenger is allowed to bring one bag onto the plane. • Weight limit: Each carry-on bag may weigh up to 10 kilos. • Size limit: Each carry-on bag can be up to 110cm long, 60cm tall and 30cm wide.

B John Arrillaga Sr, the pioneering Silicon Valley developer, was one of Stanford’s greatest benefactors (捐助者), leaving a legacy literally built into every corner of campus. Over decades, Arrillaga’s generous donations and hands-on efforts reshaped Stanford’s campus. Though best known for athletic facilities, his true impact extended far beyond. As his longtime friend John Etchemendy noted, “Hundreds of projects bear his mark, yet rarely his name.” Nowhere was this quiet dedication clearer than in the reconstruction of Stanford Stadium. He personally funded and oversaw every detail — from selecting palm trees to designing seats to mapping walkways — yet refused to put his name on it. Born into a working-class family, young Arrillaga couldn’t afford a proper suit for his high school graduation, having to borrow an ill-fitting jacket with sleeves that barely reached his wrists. He unexpectedly attended Stanford on a basketball scholarship, working multiple campus jobs to make ends meet. After playing professionally in Spain, he returned to develop Silicon Valley offices during the tech boom, becoming a millionaire. True to his humble beginnings, he started repaying Stanford almost immediately after graduation — beginning with modest athletic department gifts that grew into historic donations exceeding $250 million. Through his scholarship programs, he’s helped over 300 students facing similar financial challenges. One day, a young donor moved by Arrillaga’s generosity shared how witnessing the selfless giving had profoundly shaped his devotion to charitable work. Realizing the ripple (涟漪) effect of his actions through others, Arrillaga months later made a rare exception: he permitted his name to appear on just one building — not for personal distinction, but as a nod to the power of leading by example. While his benefaction helped communities across Silicon Valley through donations to police stations, libraries, and other public spaces, his strongest ties always remained with Stanford University. 4. What was Arrillaga’s key role in the stadium reconstruction? A. A full-project supporter. B. A stadium co-investor. C. A landscape designer. D. A building material producer. 5. What motivated Arrillaga’s lifelong commitment to Stanford? A. The millionaire lifestyle experience. B. The desire for public recognition. C. The fate-changing scholarship. D. The business investment strategies. 6. Why did Arrillaga finally allow his name to appear on one building? A. To accept praise from the public. B. To show the ripple effect of athletics. C. To fulfill a request from his university. D. To inspire more charitable actions. 7. What does Arrillaga’s experience show? A. Wealth necessitates public display. B. Silent impact outweighs visible recognition. C. Humble beginnings can lead to fortunes. D. Athletic excellence drives social change. C When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as “carbon sinks” — their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 8. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 9. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse 10. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 11. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. D Most of us were raised to think that smart people always know the right answers. From gold stars in school to performance reviews in the office, we’re rewarded for certainty. Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon”. His point is unsettling: The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices. The hardest problems we face in life, whether in careers, relationships, or society, rarely come with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The old playbook of being a “right-answer getter” not only fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We often treat complex problems like simple ones until we are faced with the reality.” Our personal and professional environments are more uncertain than ever. Technology evolves faster than regulation, workplaces are more diverse, and social standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward. Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system (seek rewards), the Protect system (avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system (engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition (直觉) not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.” 12. What is implied by mentioning the spoon-feeding? A. Certainty might ruin decision-making. B. Average people can learn few facts. C. Smart habits secure positive outcomes. D. Simple tools secretly boost creativity. 13. Which might be a “moment of unease”? A. Profiting from stable investments with spare funds. B. Trying to find a job overseas when a parent falls ill. C. Treating difficult problems with one’s first intuition. D. Continuing to develop in one’s familiar research field. 14. What can make leaders fail according to the author? A. Shifting standards. B. Lacking experience. C. Ignoring principles. D. Overlooking doubts. 15. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? A. Intuition types and brain functions. B. Initial doubts and competing goals. C. Brain systems and connection forms. D. Scientific theories and workable tips. 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。 When Marie Benton first moved to London in 2008, joining a choir (合唱团) helped her fit in the new environment. ____16____ With her tireless efforts, the Choir with No Name (TCWNN) was officially born.

Some kids ran back and forth shouting loudly, while others rode scooters (滑板车) fast down the sidewalk, nearly bumping into passersby — several even cut through neighbours’ front yards, destroying flowers in the neat gardens. He signed softly and turned back inside, his eyes falling on the cover of a dog-eared book — a gift from Grandma. A wave of warmth swept over him. He’d once been too restless to sit down. It was Grandma that had turned his dislike of reading into passion. Those boring afternoons were turned into adventures because Grandma always had a way to make reading feel like treasure hunts. With newfound passion, he stepped into a wonderland through those pages. Suddenly, he was drugged back to reality from his sweet memories by the yelling from a neighbour, “Ruined my garden again? Can’t you kids read some books?” An idea popped into Todd’s mind. Why not build a small book box right in his front yard? Wasn’t this a perfect way to change the messy community around him? Without hesitation, he crafted the box from old wooden pieces, carved a tiny shelf inside and put in his favourite children’s books, including the gift from Grandma. For the sign on the box, he painted “Reading Comer for Kids”. He placed the box right under the big oak tree where the kids dashed past every single day. Yet the box sat lonely for days. Kids still rushed past, never sparing a glance. The neighborhood didn’t shift one bit. Feeling defeated, Todd walked out to the box and picked up a book. As he opened it, a small, faded sticker slipped out from the pages, landing on the grass. It was the shiny star he had been hunting for — one of the “secret treasures” Grandma used to hide for him to find. 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。 Recalling Grandma’s tricks, Todd knew what he could do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With more kids drawn to the magic of stories, the community changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
