High-intensity yoga for less than 30 minutes, twice a week, may be the best workout routine for catching high-quality shut-eye, a new study shows.
While exercise in general is known to improve sleep, a meta-analysis (元分析) published on July 11 in Sleep and Biological Rhythms presents a broad comparison of exercise routines and their influence on sleep quality. By indirectly comparing 30 trials from about a dozen countries, researchers at Harbin Sport University in China ranked how well different exercise methods influence sleep. Yoga won out, followed by walking, resistance training and aerobic exercise. The team argues that yoga improves sleep because the controlled breathing exercises associated with it activate the parasympathetic nervous system (副交感神经系统), lowering heart rate and promoting relaxation.
The most surprising finding is that shorter sessions, less than 30 minutes, are better, even though previous studies found that longer sessions — up to 60 minutes — help with hitting the pillow. The researchers guess that longer sessions might increase levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol (皮质醇), keeping people wide awake.
Assessing how widely applicable high-intensity yoga is to everyone is difficult because the meta-analysis compared trials involving different age-groups. “Some kinds of interventions may work well for someone who is in their 30s but be more difficult for someone who is in their 80s,” says Arsenio Páez, a sleep researcher at Concordia University in Montreal. To confidently determine which exercise plan is best for sleep, scientists will need to build on this meta-analysis by directly contrasting exercise plans. This could involve a controlled trial where participants are carefully chosen based on factors such as sex and fitness history.
For now, experts recommend that people exercise according to their preference and practicality, as exercise seems to benefit sleep and health in general. Even if yoga isn’t an option, walking or other light exercise is far better than doing nothing for both sleep and overall health.
24. How does yoga help improve sleep?
A. By raising cortisol levels.
B. By changing the training style.
C. By increasing workout frequency.
D. By making a certain nervous system active.
25. What will scientists do to further the study?
A. Turn to another meta-analysis. B. Select participants randomly.
C. Confirm the effect of sex on fitness. D. Compare exercise plans directly.
26. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To offer advice on exercise. B. To summarize sport types.
C. To stress the benefits of being healthy. D. To share workout experience.
27. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Yoga Relieves Back Pain B. Yoga Boosts Sleep Quality
C. Yoga Enhances Well-being D. Yoga Regulates Daily Routines

Ahmed Muhammad, an 18-year-old high school student from California, realized how difficult it can be for some kids to engage in science. He discovered this when taking care of his younger cousins. One day, he asked them whether they wanted to do a science experiment, but their response was disappointing.
“Every time I take care of them, we usually play chess, play video games, or watch TV. But when I tried to get them to do science experiments, they said, ‘No, I hate science. I’m not good at it,’” Muhammad recalled. This moment inspired him to create a non-profit organization called “Kits Cubed”, which was intended to expose kids to science in a fun, affordable and accessible way.
“I went back to my room, pulled out some science books, and started researching online. I came up with a few science experiments that could be done at home using everyday, inexpensive materials, and the kids loved them,” Muhammad said.
Seeing how happy his cousins were, he realized that other kids could benefit from the same experience. “I noticed that schools often lacked science experiments, and I thought kids needed access to science kits,” Muhammad explained.
He then took $200 he had saved up to create a website and started producing science kits for sale, with the profit donated to children in need. “I had enough money to build the website and make about 10–15 kits. Initially, my objective was just to see my cousins happy. I wanted to share that joy with more kids,” Muhammad said.
Today, Muhammad has been accepted into Stanford University, and he is proud to have changed his cousins’ view on science while inspiring other kids.
28. What inspired Muhammad to create “Kits Cubed”?
A. His cousins’ lack of interest in science.
B. His passion for doing science experiments.
C. His inability to get along well with his cousins.
D. His desire to help schools with science resources.
29. Why did Muhammad produce science kits at the beginning?
A. To donate them to schools. B. To make his cousins happy.
C. To run his website smoothly. D. To promote scientific research.
30. Which of the following words can best describe Muhammad?
A. Optimistic. B. Creative. C. Accessible. D. Modest.
31. Which can be the best title for this passage?
A. “Kits Cubed” Helps Kids in Need B. Science Experiments Matter to Kids
C. Science Kits Bring Happiness to Kids D. Teen Inspires Kids’ Curiosity in Science
D
Education experts at the University of South Australia remind teachers that high engagement leads to high returns when it comes to improving student performance.
Filming and assessing the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning — simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complex learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving.
Dr. Stephenson, a researcher at UniSA, emphasizes that teachers need more support in designing interactive and meaningful lessons that promote deep learning. “The greater the engagement, the deeper the learning. Deep learning helps organize knowledge into conceptual frameworks, enhancing memory and learning outcomes. It also develops innovative thinking. Even small adjustments to lesson plans and teaching techniques can significantly boost student engagement and overall performance,” he explains.
At a base level, teachers should consider how they can adjust their existing classroom activities so that more tasks are on the deeper end of learning. For instance, watching a video can be done in various ways: students can watch it passively, take notes using the speaker’s words (active engagement), write questions based on the video’s content (constructive engagement), or watch and discuss the video in a group to generate new ideas (interactive engagement). “Interactive learning motivates students to engage more deeply by making judgments, discussing ideas, and cooperating on solutions,” Dr. Stephenson says.
Interestingly, many teachers seem not to know or fully appreciate the importance of how their lesson tasks can stimulate (激发) different modes of student engagement. “Even changing class activities from ‘active’ to ‘constructive’ can go a long way towards improving student leaning,” Dr. Stephenson says. “Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.”
32. What does the underlined word “superficial” probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. Interactive. B. Devoted. C. Shallow. D. Accurate.
33. What do education experts advise teachers to do?
A. Frequently assess student outcomes.
B. Involve students in active learning.
C. Increase the use of videos in class.
D. Promote students’ planning skills.
34. What can be learned about current class activities?
A. They prevent students from distraction.
B. They help develop students’ team spirit.
C. They make for students’ deep thinking.
D. They are in urgent need of transformation.
35. Which activity can improve student performance best?
A. Viewing videos. B. Class debates.
C. Reading competitions. D. Retelling exercises.

Mix friendship with your daily hustle

She often helped her parents with housework, made her mom a cup of tea when she was tired, and kept an eye on her brother, Jack.
Jack had a group of close friends. They would seldom include Lily in their games — not because they disliked her but because they thought she was too young and too different to join their adventures. This made Lily feel left out and sad, as she desired to be a part of her brother’s world.
One strange thing about Jack was that whenever he was upset, the next day he would find a single coin in his pocket. It puzzled him. He couldn’t explain where they came from. Whenever he asked his parents about it, they just smiled.
One day, Jack’s best friend moved away to another city. Jack was sad. He had spent countless hours with him, and the thought of not having him around was heartbreaking. That evening, when he came home, he was in no mood to be around anyone, not even Lily. She tried to comfort him, but in his sadness, Jack shouted at her, and his sharp words sent Lily running to her room in tears. Feeling sorry but still upset, Jack went to his room, leaving Lily to cry alone.

High-intensity yoga for less than 30 minutes, twice a week, may be the best workout routine for catching high-quality shut-eye, a new study shows.
While exercise in general is known to improve sleep, a meta-analysis (元分析) published on July 11 in Sleep and Biological Rhythms presents a broad comparison of exercise routines and their influence on sleep quality. By indirectly comparing 30 trials from about a dozen countries, researchers at Harbin Sport University in China ranked how well different exercise methods influence sleep. Yoga won out, followed by walking, resistance training and aerobic exercise. The team argues that yoga improves sleep because the controlled breathing exercises associated with it activate the parasympathetic nervous system (副交感神经系统), lowering heart rate and promoting relaxation.
The most surprising finding is that shorter sessions, less than 30 minutes, are better, even though previous studies found that longer sessions — up to 60 minutes — help with hitting the pillow. The researchers guess that longer sessions might increase levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol (皮质醇), keeping people wide awake.
Assessing how widely applicable high-intensity yoga is to everyone is difficult because the meta-analysis compared trials involving different age-groups. “Some kinds of interventions may work well for someone who is in their 30s but be more difficult for someone who is in their 80s,” says Arsenio Páez, a sleep researcher at Concordia University in Montreal. To confidently determine which exercise plan is best for sleep, scientists will need to build on this meta-analysis by directly contrasting exercise plans. This could involve a controlled trial where participants are carefully chosen based on factors such as sex and fitness history.
For now, experts recommend that people exercise according to their preference and practicality, as exercise seems to benefit sleep and health in general. Even if yoga isn’t an option, walking or other light exercise is far better than doing nothing for both sleep and overall health.
24. How does yoga help improve sleep?
A. By raising cortisol levels.
B. By changing the training style.
C. By increasing workout frequency.
D By making a certain nervous system active.
25. What will scientists do to further the study?
A. Turn to another meta-analysis. B. Select participants randomly.
C. Confirm the effect of sex on fitness. D. Compare exercise plans directly.
26. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To offer advice on exercise. B. To summarize sport types.
C. To stress the benefits of being healthy. D. To share workout experience.
27. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. Yoga Relieves Back Pain B. Yoga Boosts Sleep Quality
C. Yoga Enhances Well-being D. Yoga Regulates Daily Routines
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现高强度瑜伽可能是改善睡眠质量的最佳锻炼方式,并探讨了瑜伽改善睡眠的原因、锻炼时长对睡眠的影响以及未来研究的方向。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The team argues that yoga improves sleep because the controlled breathing exercises associated with it activate the parasympathetic nervous system (副交感神经系统), lowering heart rate and promoting relaxation. (研究小组认为,瑜伽改善睡眠是因为与之相关的控制呼吸练习激活了副交感神经系统,降低了心率,促进了放松。)”可知,瑜伽通过激活副交感神经系统来改善睡眠。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To confidently determine which exercise plan is best for sleep, scientists will need to build on this meta-analysis by directly contrasting exercise plans. (为了有信心地确定哪种锻炼计划对睡眠最好,科学家们需要在这个元分析的基础上,直接对比锻炼计划。)”可知,科学家们将直接对比锻炼计划来进一步研究。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“For now, experts recommend that people exercise according to their preference and practicality, as exercise seems to benefit sleep and health in general. Even if yoga isn’t an option, walking or other light exercise is far better than doing nothing for both sleep and overall health. (目前,专家建议人们根据自己的喜好和实际情况进行锻炼,因为锻炼似乎对睡眠和健康都有好处。即使不能选择瑜伽,散步或其他轻度运动也比什么都不做对睡眠和整体健康要好得多。)”可知,最后一段的主要目的是提供锻炼建议。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“High-intensity yoga for less than 30 minutes, twice a week, may be the best workout routine for catching high-quality shut-eye, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明,每周两次、每次不到30分钟的高强度瑜伽可能是获得高质量睡眠的最佳锻炼方式。)”可知,文章主要围绕瑜伽对睡眠质量的影响展开,因此选项B“瑜伽提高睡眠质量”最适合作为文章标题。故选B。

Ahmed Muhammad, an 18-year-old high school student from California, realized how difficult it can be for some kids to engage in science. He discovered this when taking care of his younger cousins. One day, he asked them whether they wanted to do a science experiment, but their response was disappointing.
“Every time I take care of them, we usually play chess, play video games, or watch TV. But when I tried to get them to do science experiments, they said, ‘No, I hate science. I’m not good at it,’” Muhammad recalled. This moment inspired him to create a non-profit organization called “Kits Cubed”, which was intended to expose kids to science in a fun, affordable and accessible way.
“I went back to my room, pulled out some science books, and started researching online. I came up with a few science experiments that could be done at home using everyday, inexpensive materials, and the kids loved them,” Muhammad said.
Seeing how happy his cousins were, he realized that other kids could benefit from the same experience. “I noticed that schools often lacked science experiments, and I thought kids needed access to science kits,” Muhammad explained.
He then took $200 he had saved up to create a website and started producing science kits for sale, with the profit donated to children in need. “I had enough money to build the website and make about 10–15 kits. Initially, my objective was just to see my cousins happy. I wanted to share that joy with more kids,” Muhammad said.
Today, Muhammad has been accepted into Stanford University, and he is proud to have changed his cousins’ view on science while inspiring other kids.
28. What inspired Muhammad to create “Kits Cubed”?
A. His cousins’ lack of interest in science.
B. His passion for doing science experiments.
C. His inability to get along well with his cousins.
D. His desire to help schools with science resources.
29. Why did Muhammad produce science kits at the beginning?
A. To donate them to schools. B. To make his cousins happy.
C. To run his website smoothly. D. To promote scientific research.
30. Which of the following words can best describe Muhammad?
A. Optimistic. B. Creative. C. Accessible. D. Modest.
31. Which can be the best title for this passage?
A. “Kits Cubed” Helps Kids in Need B. Science Experiments Matter to Kids
C. Science Kits Bring Happiness to Kids D. Teen Inspires Kids’ Curiosity in Science
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ahmed Muhammad如何通过自己的努力和创意,激发孩子们对科学的兴趣,并创建了一个非营利组织Kits Cubed,旨在向孩子们介绍科学。

Education experts at the University of South Australia remind teachers that high engagement leads to high returns when it comes to improving student performance.
Filming and assessing the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning — simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complex learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving.
Dr. Stephenson, a researcher at UniSA, emphasizes that teachers need more support in designing interactive and meaningful lessons that promote deep learning. “The greater the engagement, the deeper the learning. Deep learning helps organize knowledge into conceptual frameworks, enhancing memory and learning outcomes. It also develops innovative thinking. Even small adjustments to lesson plans and teaching techniques can significantly boost student engagement and overall performance,” he explains.
At a base level, teachers should consider how they can adjust their existing classroom activities so that more tasks are on the deeper end of learning. For instance, watching a video can be done in various ways: students can watch it passively, take notes using the speaker’s words (active engagement), write questions based on the video’s content (constructive engagement), or watch and discuss the video in a group to generate new ideas (interactive engagement). “Interactive learning motivates students to engage more deeply by making judgments, discussing ideas, and cooperating on solutions,” Dr. Stephenson says.
Interestingly many teachers seem not to know or fully appreciate the importance of how their lesson tasks can stimulate (激发) different modes of student engagement. “Even changing class activities from ‘active’ to ‘constructive’ can go a long way towards improving student leaning,” Dr. Stephenson says. “Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.”
32. What does the underlined word “superficial” probably mean in paragraph 2?
A. Interactive. B. Devoted. C. Shallow. D. Accurate.
33. What do education experts advise teachers to do?
A. Frequently assess student outcomes.
B. Involve students in active learning.
C. Increase the use of videos in class.
D. Promote students’ planning skills.
34. What can be learned about current class activities?
A. They prevent students from distraction.
B. They help develop students’ team spirit.
C. They make for students’ deep thinking.
D. They are in urgent need of transformation.
35. Which activity can improve student performance best?
A. Viewing videos. B. Class debates.
C. Reading competitions. D. Retelling exercises.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明现在学校的课堂活动学生参与度很低,被动学习,需要改变。专家建议教师设计互动参与形式的课堂活动,从而使学生可以深度思考和学习。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的解释“simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers(简单的问答、记笔记或听老师讲课)”及下文“rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level.(而不是让学生参与更深层次的活动)”可知,该词应该是“简单的,浅显的,表面的”之意,与后面的deeper level意思相反。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Education experts at the University of South Australia remind teachers that high engagement leads to high returns when it comes to improving student performance.(南澳大利亚大学的教育专家提醒教师,在提高学生表现方面,高参与度会带来高回报)”及第三段“Dr. Stephenson, a researcher at UniSA, emphasizes that teachers need more support in designing interactive and meaningful lessons that promote deep learning.(南澳大学的研究员斯蒂芬森博士强调,教师在设计促进深度学习的互动和有意义的课程时需要更多的支持)”可推测,专家们建议教师们在课堂上多设计互动的活动,让学生积极参与课堂主动学习,而不是被动听课。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Filming and assessing the content of classrooms across South Australia and Victoria, researchers found in a new study that nearly 70% of student tasks involved superficial learning – simple questions and answers, taking notes, or listening to teachers — rather than activities that engage students on a deeper level. Less than a third of teachers are engaging students in complex learning, limiting student opportunities for critical thinking and problem solving.(研究人员对南澳大利亚州和维多利亚州的课堂内容进行了拍摄和评估,他们在一项新研究中发现,近70%的学生任务都是肤浅的学习——简单的问答、记笔记或听老师讲课——而不是让学生参与更深层次的活动。只有不到三分之一的教师让学生参与复杂的学习,这限制了学生批判性思维和解决问题的机会)”及最后一段“Teachers should undertake professional development to transform their thinking towards practices that support deeper-learning and better outcomes for students.(教师应该进行专业发展,将他们的思维转变为实践,支持更深入的学习,为学生带来更好的结果)”可推测,作者认为现在的课堂活动太简单不能使学生积极参与课堂学习,限制了学生批判性思维和解决问题的机会;由此可知,当前的课堂活动迫切需要改变。故选D项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段末“or watch and discuss the video in a group to generate new ideas (interactive engagement)(或者在小组中观看和讨论视频以产生新的想法(互动参与))”及“Interactive learning motivates students to engage more deeply by making judgments, discussing ideas, and cooperating on solutions(互动式学习通过做出判断、讨论想法和合作解决方案,激励学生更深入地参与其中)”可知,课堂讨论是互动参与的活动,可以使学生学习效果更好。故选B项。

With some effort and creativity, you can nurture those relationships even in the busiest of seasons.

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段洛开头语续写内段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jack and his younger sister, Lily, were as different as night and day. Jack was the adventurous type, always running around with his friends, playing football or exploring the woods. Lily, on the other hand, was quieter, preferring to spend her time with her books and her dolls. However, she was quite thoughtful and always looked out for the whole family. She often helped her parents with housework, made her mom a cup of tea when she was tired, and kept an eye on her brother, Jack.
Jack had a group of close friends. They would seldom include Lily in their games — not because they disliked her, but because they thought she was too young and too different to join their adventures. This made Lily feel left out and sad, as she desired to be a part of her brother’s world.
One strange thing about Jack was that whenever he was upset, the next day he would find a single coin in his pocket. It puzzled him. He couldn’t explain where they came from. Whenever he asked his parents about it, they just smiled.
One day, Jack’s best friend moved away to another city. Jack was sad. He had spent countless hours with him, and the thought of not having him around was heartbreaking. That evening, when he came home, he was in no mood to be around anyone, not even Lily. She tried to comfort him, but in his sadness, Jack shouted at her, and his sharp words sent Lily running to her room in tears. Feeling sorry but still upset, Jack went to his room, leaving Lily to cry alone.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 开头已给出。
The next morning, as Jack got dressed, he felt something in his pocket.

Knowing the truth from his parents, Jack believed he should do something.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next morning, as Jack got dressed, he felt something in his pocket. He reached in and pulled out a coin, just like before. But this time, he was determined to solve the mystery. He remembered his outburst at Lily the previous day and felt a pang of guilt. As he held the coin, an idea struck him. Maybe Lily knew something about these coins. He decided to ask her.
Knowing the truth from his parents, Jack believed he should do something. He went straight to Lily’s room, looking a bit ashamed. “Lily,” he said softly, “I’m so sorry for shouting at you. And I know now that you’ve been leaving these coins for me when I’m sad.” Lily looked up, surprised. Jack continued, “You’re so kind, and I was wrong to leave you out. From now on, you’re part of my gang. We’ll play together, and I’ll always look out for you, just like you do for me.” A big smile spread across Lily’s face. From that day on, Jack made sure Lily was included in all his activities, and the two siblings became closer than ever.
