Passage 2
Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.
Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear.
Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos.
Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses.
The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.
“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again.
34.Why did the researchers teach the birds the song?
A.To save an endangered species. B.To study the birds’ brain structure.
C.To develop new robotic devices. D.To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage.
35.What is a role of chingolos’ song?
A.It keeps hunters away from them. B.It helps them adapt to urban growth.
C.It functions as their social identity. D.It makes them remember their habitat.
36.What is the purpose of the random pauses?
A.To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B.To test the birds’ reaction speed.
C.To push the birds to catch the beat. D.To trick the birds into interaction.
37.What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results?
A.The song has spread to other bird species. B.Their singing shows special vocal features.
C.Their response to the song needs improving. D.The effectiveness depends on their population.

Passage 3
When Li Linxuan was a freshman at Zhounan Middle School in Changsha, he often helped his family with farm work. “Peanut shells were always burned after harvest, filling the air with smoke,” he recalled. But during a biology class, he learned how decomposers turn plant waste into nutrient-rich soil. “If nature recycles waste, why can’t we turn peanut shells into something valuable?” he wondered.
This thought connected with what he learned about “carbon neutrality” in environmental science. His teacher explained that super capacitors (电容器) — critical for new energy vehicles and smart grids — rely on electrode materials from oil or metals, which are costly and polluting. Li teamed up with his classmate Zeng Zijun to research alternatives. After reading dozens of journals, they found peanut shells are rich in carbon, ideal for making activated carbon used in energy storage.
Their experiment began with collecting 50 kilograms of peanut shells from local farms. First, they dried and crushed the shells, then tried heating them and treating them with chemicals like KOH to create porous structures — a key step for energy storage. “We failed over 100 times,” Zeng said. “Sometimes the carbon cracked; other times it couldn’t conduct electricity.” With guidance from Zhang Zhigang, an experienced coach of youth tech competitions, they adjusted heating time and chemical ratios, finally mastering material modification and process optimization (优化).
Tests showed their material stored nearly as much energy as commercial electrodes but cost 60% less. “We want farmers to sell peanut shells instead of burning them, and explore flexible electronics applications,” Li said. Zhang noted it “reflects teenagers’ deep thinking on environmental protection and energy crises”. Now, they’re competing for the 20th Song Qingling Children’s Invention Award — one of China’s top youth tech honors with 46,000 entries this year — and talking to factories about mass production. “This is ‘treating waste with waste,’ forming a ‘resource-product-recycled resource’ green loop,” environmental experts said.
38.What directly inspired Li to think about reusing peanut shells?
A.The pollution from burning peanut shells.
B.The idea of carbon neutrality from class.
C.The natural recycling of plant waste.
D.His interest in creating new technologies.
39.What did Li and Zeng find about peanut shells from journals?
A.They reduce environmental pollution.
B.They can be used as super capacitors.
C.They are more effective for energy storage.
D.They are a potential source for energy storage.
40.What can we learn from Li and Zeng’s experiment?
A.Their tendency to seek professional help.
B.Their persistence in overcoming failures.
C.Their desire to learn electrical conduction.
D.Their focus on finding financial support.
41.What is environmental experts’ attitude towards Li and Zeng’s project?
A.Critical. B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful. D.Disapproving.

Passage 4
The old English saying “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” has long been used to describe how hard it can be to make someone do what is best for them. However, a new study reveals that this common phrase may have underestimated (低估) horses’ intelligence for centuries.
Research from Nottingham Trent University shows that horses have the ability to think and plan ahead. The research team tested this by observing how horses behaved in a simple game that involved earning rewards.
The three-stage game involved 20 horses, who were firstly rewarded with a treat for touching a piece of card with their noses. Then, in the second stage, researchers started switching on a “stop light”. The horses were only given a snack if they touched the card while the stop light was off.
At first, they ignored the light and touched the card, regardless of whether or not the light was on. But when, in the third stage, researchers introduced a penalty for touching the card while the stop light was on — a 10-second waiting time during which the horses could not play the game at all. After that, the horses quickly began to make far fewer mistakes. In the end, they only touched the card when the light was off, so they could get their treat at the right time.
“This tells us that horses don’t just act without thinking. They can understand rules and change their behavior when it’s helpful,” explained lead researcher Louise Evans.
Evans believes this finding can help improve the way horses are trained and cared for. “When we understand that animals are capable of thoughtful behavior, we are likely to treat them with more kindness,” she said.
42.What did the new study from Nottingham Trent University discover about horses?
A.Horses are very difficult to train properly.
B.Horses can think ahead and make simple plans.
C.Horses only eat when they feel hungry.
D.Horses do not enjoy playing games.
43.How did the research team test horses’ ability?
A.By observing them in a game with rewards.
B.By teaching them to follow stop lights.
C.By punishing them for wrong actions.
D.By comparing them with other animals.
44.What does the word “penalty” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.A treat given as a reward. B.A waiting time for a wrong action.
C.A light that signals stop. D.A rule to touch the card.
45.What is one way the research might help horses in the future?
A.It shows old horse sayings are always true.
B.It could lead to stricter training methods.
C.It may result in kinder treatment for horses.
D.It proves horses do not need training.
【答案】42.B 43.A 44.B 45.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项新研究发现马拥有思考和提前计划的能力,改变了人们对马的传统认知,并有助于更好地对待马匹。
42.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Research from Nottingham Trent University shows that horses have the ability to think and plan ahead.(诺丁汉特伦特大学的研究表明,马具备思考和提前计划的能力)”可知,该研究发现马可以提前思考并制定简单计划。故选B项。
43.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The research team tested this by observing how horses behaved in a simple game that involved earning rewards.(研究团队通过观察马在一个涉及获取奖励的简单游戏中的行为来测试这一点)”可知,研究团队通过观察马在有奖励的游戏中的表现来测试它们的能力。故选A项。
44.词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“But when, in the third stage, researchers introduced a penalty for touching the card while the stop light was on — a 10-second waiting time during which the horses could not play the game at all.(但到了第三阶段,研究人员设置了penalty:如果马匹在红灯亮时触碰卡片,就要等待10秒,在此期间它们完全不能参与游戏)”可知,破折号后是对penalty的具体解释,是灯亮时触碰卡片会受到的惩罚,即一段等待时间。由此可知,penalty意为“惩罚”,此处指对错误行为的等待时长,与A waiting time for a wrong action含义一致。故选B项。
45.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“‘When we understand that animals are capable of thoughtful behavior, we are likely to treat them with more kindness,’ she said. (她说:‘当我们认识到动物也能做出有思考的行为时,我们就更有可能善待它们。’)”可知,这项研究未来可能有助于让人们更友善地对待马。故选C项。
Passage 5
A kitchen garden produces vegetables for delicious, healthy meals. It doesn’t have to be right outside the kitchen door, but the closer it is, the better. 46 , the more likely it is that you will get tasty things out of it. Just a few steps are needed for what you want.
47 . The most important recommendation is start with what you like to eat. This may go without saying, but I have seen first-year gardens that don’t reflect the eating habits of their growers. One of the easiest and most rewarding and popular kitchen gardens is a simple salad garden. It can produce multiple harvests in most parts of the country.
Planting a garden: where, when and how. Make a garden plan of what will be planted, where, when and how. 48 . It means you should know what they like in terms of space, water, soil fertility (肥力) and soil temperatures.
When and how much to water your garden. Vegetables are made mostly of water. 49 . You’ll want to water them lightly every day or two. If nature isn’t providing that amount of rain, you’ll need to water by yourself or with a drip irrigation system.
Garden maintenance: keep an eye on it. Sun and rain willing, fast growers such as radishes (萝卜) and salad greens will begin to produce crops as early as 20 to 30 days after planting. Check on them regularly so you get to harvest them before someone else does. 50 .
A.Getting ready for garden site
B.Choosing garden crops
C.To do this, you need to get familiar with all kinds of crops
D.The easier it is for you to get into the garden
E.You show an interest in how to produce multiple harvests
F.Besides, protective barriers and organic products can prevent pests and diseases
G.So you need to ensure your plants have enough water
【答案】46.D 47.B 48.C 49.G 50.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍家庭菜园种植要点:位置选择、作物挑选、种植规划、浇水及日常养护,帮助种出美味健康蔬菜。

47.由下文“The most important recommendation is start with what you like to eat. (最重要的建议是从你喜欢吃的东西开始种。)”可知,空格处需作为本段主题句,概括“选择种植作物”的内容。B项“Choosing garden crops.(选择菜园作物。)”符合语境,总领全段,精准概括本段主旨。故选B项。

She pushed forward on her belly, 63 ahead. The penguin wove a trail between the cracks. Elaine scraped along behind, 64 time as she focused on following the penguin’s path.
Finally, with one last 65 of her arms, Elaine crawled after her penguin onto solid, white ice. Safety!

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Elaine在南极试图近距离观察企鹅时,被强风卷入险境,跌落在冰裂缝上。企鹅的出现引导她冷静地利用姿势和技巧,沿着企鹅的路线缓慢爬行,最终脱险回到安全冰面的惊险故事。
51.考查名词词义辨析。句意:刺骨的风盘旋着,像是一种警告。A. pressure压力;B. warning警告;C. prediction预测;D. impression印象。根据后文“Suddenly, a strong gust knocked her off her feet. Elaine rolled over and over until she found herself lying on a thin skin of ice above a blue-crevasse. Crunch!”描述Elaine遇险可推知,“A frosty wind circled”预示着危险,是一种“警告”,这是文学作品中常用的“伏笔”修辞手法。故选B项。
52.考查介词短语辨析。句意:Elaine知道天气可能在转瞬间变化。A. in a heartbeat转瞬间,立刻;B. in a row连续地;C. in a hurry匆忙地;D. in a way在某种程度上。根据前文“A frosty wind circled, a(n) .”以及南极环境的极端和多变特性可知,天气变化可以非常迅速,在“转瞬间”发生。故选A项。
53.考查名词词义辨析。句意:尽管冰原看起来坚固,但其冰盖一直处于运动之中。A. evolution进化;B. consumption消耗;C. motion运动;D. progression进展。“Although”引导让步状语从句,与上文“the icy plain looked solid”坚固的冰原形成对比,冰盖并非静止不动,而是持续处于“运动”和变化状态。故选C项。
54.考查动词词义辨析。句意:一排排蓝红色的旗帜在这个危险区域标出了一条安全路径。A. strengthened加强;B. marked标记;C. decorated装饰;D. crossed穿过。根据前文描述的冰原上潜在的危险,以及“safe path”和“dangerous zone”的对比可知,这些旗帜的作用是“标记”出安全的路线。故选B项。
55.考查介词辨析。句意:接近企鹅是违反规定的。A. for为了;B. among在……之中;C. against反对,违反;D. of……的。根据后文“So she had to wait and see if the bird would come to her.”可知,规定不允许主动靠近企鹅,只能等待,因此主动接近是“违反”规定;against the rules意为“违反规定”。故选C项。
56.考查动词词义辨析。句意:她屏住呼吸,全神贯注于那只摇摇摆摆向她走来的企鹅,并希望它继续过来。A. considered考虑;B. permitted允许;C. willed希望,想要;D. forced强迫。根据前文“So she had to wait and see if the bird would come to her”可知,她不能主动靠近企鹅,所以当企鹅向她走来时,她只能在内心“希望”它走得更近一些。故选C项。
57.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:很快这只鸟就站在她面前,它的眼睛与她的眼睛齐平。A. level水平的,齐平的;B. parallel平行的;C. opposite相反的;D. equal相等的。根据前文“Soon the bird stood just in front of her”可知,企鹅站在她正前方,双方距离很近,目光相接,描述两者目光高度一致常用“level with(与……齐平)”。故选A项。
58.考查副词词义辨析。句意:无意中,她倚着吹来的风,跟着这只鸟在冰上走得更远,离开了站点。A. Fortunately幸运地;B. Reluctantly不情愿地;C. Intentionally故意地;D. Unconsciously无意识地,不知不觉地。根据后文“followed the bird farther out on the ice, away from the station”以及前文“So sweet!”她对企鹅的着迷可推知,她可能是在“无意识”中被吸引而走远,并非刻意违反安全规定。故选D项。
59.考查动词短语辨析。句意:如果她压破冰层,就会掉进冰裂缝,那里甚至没人能找到她。A. broke out爆发;B. broke down崩溃,出故障;C. broke in闯入;D. broke through突破,冲破。根据前文她躺在薄冰上以及“Crunch! She dropped a little lower.”冰层发出碎裂声可知,如果她继续施压导致冰层彻底“破裂”,就会坠入裂缝。故选D项。
60.考查动词词义辨析。句意:然后风停了。A. died消失,停止;B. followed跟随;C. returned返回;D. worsened恶化。根据后文“In a sudden quiet”可知,环境突然安静下来,之前呼啸的风“停止”了。故选A项。
61.考查动词词义辨析。句意:她周围的冰面像蜘蛛网一样裂开。A. declined下降;B. spiderwebbed呈蛛网状裂开;C. melted融化;D. accumulated积累。根据前文她处于薄冰之上,冰面脆弱,结合空前“Cracks”可知,裂纹可能呈放射状或网状蔓延,“spiderwebbed”生动地描绘了这种形态。故选B项。
62.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:她将双臂像翅膀一样摊开在冰上,保持身体平直,将体重分散在脆弱的冰面上。A. flexible灵活的;B. flat平的,平直的;C. twisted扭曲的;D. bent弯曲的。根据后文“spreading her weight across the fragile surface”可知,为了最大化分散压力,防止冰面破裂,身体需要尽可能保持“平直”贴于冰面。故选B项。
63.考查动词词义辨析。句意:她腹部着地向前推进,一点一点地挪动。A. rushing冲;B. sliding滑行;C. inching缓慢移动,一点一点挪动;D. diving潜水。根据前文冰面脆弱如蛛网和“fragile surface”的描述可知,她不可能快速移动,只能极其缓慢地、“一点一点地”前进。故选C项。
64.考查动词短语辨析。句意:Elaine跟在后面艰难地爬行,专注于跟随企鹅的路径,忘记了时间。A. losing track of失去对……的跟踪,忘记;B. losing control of失去对……的控制;C. taking note of注意到;D. running out of用完。根据后文“as she focused on following the penguin’s path”可知,她全神贯注于求生和跟随,完全投入其中,因而“忘记了”时间的流逝。故选A项。

Value Labour and Protect Our Campus
Recently, I’ve noticed a worrying phenomenon on our campus, which ruins the fruits of others’ labor seriously and the campus environment.
Some classmates find excuses to skip their turn of cleaning the classroom, leaving the floor dusty and blackboards uncleaned. Some even leave desks messy with leftovers after meals and litter on clean floors casually. A campus is our shared home and establishing a correct view of labor not only creates a neat, harmonious environment but also teaches us responsibility. We should fulfill class duty attentively, keep the campus clean and cherish food.
Let’s call on peers to respect laborers’ efforts and join in labor, fostering a good habit. Only in this way can we build a beautiful and orderly campus.

五、书面表达
83.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’m Lila, a volunteer in Maple Leaf Community. Our neighborhood, once a comfortable and tidy place, lies in the heart of the city. But lately, the garden and the empty corners near the entrance have turned into a dirty place, covered with all kinds of garbage.
At first, it was just a few candy wrappers and plastic bottles left behind. But soon, more and more people started dropping unwanted things there — old shoes, broken boxes, and even leftover food. The terrible smell of the garbage spread everywhere, making it impossible for neighbors to walk past comfortably. What’s worse, the dirty water from the garbage seeped (渗入) into the garden soil, killing the beautiful roses and making the small stone fountain smelly.
I tried my best to persuade the residents to help clean it up, but no one was willing to spare any time. Even when I took photos of the dead roses and the smelly fountain to show them how bad the situation was, they still turned a blind eye.
One Saturday morning, I ran into Leo, a young architect who grew up in this community and had just moved back after working abroad. When he saw the messy garden and the piles of garbage, his face fell with shock and disappointment. “We have to fix it.” His determination gave me new hope, so we decided to hold a community meeting together.
The meeting room was crowded but quiet. I stood up first, holding up the photos I’d taken. “Our community is dying,” I said, my voice tight. “The garbage isn’t just ugly — it’s making us sick and destroying the place we call home. We should take immediate action.” Mr. Hale, a retired worker who’s lived here for 30 years, shook his head and said, “Cleaning this up will take too much time and energy. It’s useless to even try.” His words made the others whisper in agreement. I felt my hope dying fast, and looked over at Leo helplessly.

Leo raised his hand, saying, “Count me in.”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Leo raised his hand, saying, “Count me in.” He grabbed a pair of gloves and a large trash bag from his backpack, his eyes full of resolve. “This community isn’t just yours or mine — it’s ours. If each of us does a little, we can bring it back to life.” His words struck a chord with everyone. I joined him immediately, and soon, several young residents stood up, offering to help. Mr. Hale looked guilty, stood up slowly, and said he’d help too. Before long, most people picked up tools, and we began cleaning the garden and corners together.
We held a group cleanup over the few days. Some collected the trash while others cleaned the smelly fountain and pulled out the dead plants. Leo used his architectural knowledge to teach us how to arrange the garden neatly after cleaning, to avoid future messes. Day by day, the community changed: the sidewalks were clean, the fountain ran clear again, and we planted new rose bushes in the garden. Residents chatted and laughed as they worked, and Mr. Hale even brought homemade cookies for everyone. In the end, we put up “No Littering” signs and made a rule — everyone takes turns keeping the community clean.

Passage 2
Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.
Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear.
Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos.
Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses.
The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.
“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again.
34.Why did the researchers teach the birds the song?
A.To save an endangered species. B.To study the birds’ brain structure.
C.To develop new robotic devices. D.To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage.
35.What is a role of chingolos’ song?
A.It keeps hunters away from them. B.It helps them adapt to urban growth.
C.It functions as their social identity. D.It makes them remember their habitat.
36.What is the purpose of the random pauses?
A.To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B.To test the birds’ reaction speed.
C.To push the birds to catch the beat. D.To trick the birds into interaction.
37.What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results?
A.The song has spread to other bird species. B.Their singing shows special vocal features.
C.Their response to the song needs improving. D.The effectiveness depends on their population.
Passage 3
When Li Linxuan was a freshman at Zhounan Middle School in Changsha, he often helped his family with farm work. “Peanut shells were always burned after harvest, filling the air with smoke,” he recalled. But during a biology class, he learned how decomposers turn plant waste into nutrient-rich soil. “If nature recycles waste, why can’t we turn peanut shells into something valuable?” he wondered.
This thought connected with what he learned about “carbon neutrality” in environmental science. His teacher explained that super capacitors (电容器) — critical for new energy vehicles and smart grids — rely on electrode materials from oil or metals, which are costly and polluting. Li teamed up with his classmate Zeng Zijun to research alternatives. After reading dozens of journals, they found peanut shells are rich in carbon, ideal for making activated carbon used in energy storage.
Their experiment began with collecting 50 kilograms of peanut shells from local farms. First, they dried and crushed the shells, then tried heating them and treating them with chemicals like KOH to create porous structures — a key step for energy storage. “We failed over 100 times,” Zeng said. “Sometimes the carbon cracked; other times it couldn’t conduct electricity.” With guidance from Zhang Zhigang, an experienced coach of youth tech competitions, they adjusted heating time and chemical ratios, finally mastering material modification and process optimization (优化).
Tests showed their material stored nearly as much energy as commercial electrodes but cost 60% less. “We want farmers to sell peanut shells instead of burning them, and explore flexible electronics applications,” Li said. Zhang noted it “reflects teenagers’ deep thinking on environmental protection and energy crises”. Now, they’re competing for the 20th Song Qingling Children’s Invention Award — one of China’s top youth tech honors with 46,000 entries this year — and talking to factories about mass production. “This is ‘treating waste with waste,’ forming a ‘resource-product-recycled resource’ green loop,” environmental experts said.
38.What directly inspired Li to think about reusing peanut shells?
A.The pollution from burning peanut shells.
B.The idea of carbon neutrality from class.
C.The natural recycling of plant waste.
D.His interest in creating new technologies.
39.What did Li and Zeng find about peanut shells from journals?
A.They reduce environmental pollution.
B.They can be used as super capacitors.
C.They are more effective for energy storage.
D.They are a potential source for energy storage.
40.What can we learn from Li and Zeng’s experiment?
A.Their tendency to seek professional help.
B.Their persistence in overcoming failures.
C.Their desire to learn electrical conduction.
D.Their focus on finding financial support.
41.What is environmental experts’ attitude towards Li and Zeng’s project?
A.Critical. B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful. D.Disapproving.
Passage 4
The old English saying “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” has long been used to describe how hard it can be to make someone do what is best for them. However, a new study reveals that this common phrase may have underestimated (低估) horses’ intelligence for centuries.
Research from Nottingham Trent University shows that horses have the ability to think and plan ahead. The research team tested this by observing how horses behaved in a simple game that involved earning rewards.
The three-stage game involved 20 horses, who were firstly rewarded with a treat for touching a piece of card with their noses. Then, in the second stage, researchers started switching on a “stop light”. The horses were only given a snack if they touched the card while the stop light was off.
At first, they ignored the light and touched the card, regardless of whether or not the light was on. But when, in the third stage, researchers introduced a penalty for touching the card while the stop light was on — a 10-second waiting time during which the horses could not play the game at all. After that, the horses quickly began to make far fewer mistakes. In the end, they only touched the card when the light was off, so they could get their treat at the right time.
“This tells us that horses don’t just act without thinking. They can understand rules and change their behavior when it’s helpful,” explained lead researcher Louise Evans.
Evans believes this finding can help improve the way horses are trained and cared for. “When we understand that animals are capable of thoughtful behavior, we are likely to treat them with more kindness,” she said.
42.What did the new study from Nottingham Trent University discover about horses?
A.Horses are very difficult to train properly.
B.Horses can think ahead and make simple plans.
C.Horses only eat when they feel hungry.
D.Horses do not enjoy playing games.
43.How did the research team test horses’ ability?
A.By observing them in a game with rewards.
B.By teaching them to follow stop lights.
C.By punishing them for wrong actions.
D.By comparing them with other animals.
44.What does the word “penalty” refer to in paragraph 4?
A.A treat given as a reward. B.A waiting time for a wrong action.
C.A light that signals stop. D.A rule to touch the card.
45.What is one way the research might help horses in the future?
A.It shows old horse sayings are always true.
B.It could lead to stricter training methods.
C.It may result in kinder treatment for horses.
D.It proves horses do not need training.
Passage 5
A kitchen garden produces vegetables for delicious, healthy meals. It doesn’t have to be right outside the kitchen door, but the closer it is, the better. 46 , the more likely it is that you will get tasty things out of it. Just a few steps are needed for what you want.
47 . The most important recommendation is start with what you like to eat. This may go without saying, but I have seen first-year gardens that don’t reflect the eating habits of their growers. One of the easiest and most rewarding and popular kitchen gardens is a simple salad garden. It can produce multiple harvests in most parts of the country.
Planting a garden: where, when and how. Make a garden plan of what will be planted, where, when and how. 48 . It means you should know what they like in terms of space, water, soil fertility (肥力) and soil temperatures.
When and how much to water your garden. Vegetables are made mostly of water. 49 . You’ll want to water them lightly every day or two. If nature isn’t providing that amount of rain, you’ll need to water by yourself or with a drip irrigation system.
Garden maintenance: keep an eye on it. Sun and rain willing, fast growers such as radishes (萝卜) and salad greens will begin to produce crops as early as 20 to 30 days after planting. Check on them regularly so you get to harvest them before someone else does. 50 .
A.Getting ready for garden site
B.Choosing garden crops
C.To do this, you need to get familiar with all kinds of crops
D.The easier it is for you to get into the garden
E.You show an interest in how to produce multiple harvests
F.Besides, protective barriers and organic products can prevent pests and diseases
G.So you need to ensure your plants have enough water

五、书面表达
83.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’m Lila, a volunteer in Maple Leaf Community. Our neighborhood, once a comfortable and tidy place, lies in the heart of the city. But lately, the garden and the empty corners near the entrance have turned into a dirty place, covered with all kinds of garbage.
At first, it was just a few candy wrappers and plastic bottles left behind. But soon, more and more people started dropping unwanted things there — old shoes, broken boxes, and even leftover food. The terrible smell of the garbage spread everywhere, making it impossible for neighbors to walk past comfortably. What’s worse, the dirty water from the garbage seeped (渗入) into the garden soil, killing the beautiful roses and making the small stone fountain smelly.
I tried my best to persuade the residents to help clean it up, but no one was willing to spare any time. Even when I took photos of the dead roses and the smelly fountain to show them how bad the situation was, they still turned a blind eye.
One Saturday morning, I ran into Leo, a young architect who grew up in this community and had just moved back after working abroad. When he saw the messy garden and the piles of garbage, his face fell with shock and disappointment. “We have to fix it.” His determination gave me new hope, so we decided to hold a community meeting together.
The meeting room was crowded but quiet. I stood up first, holding up the photos I’d taken. “Our community is dying,” I said, my voice tight. “The garbage isn’t just ugly — it’s making us sick and destroying the place we call home. We should take immediate action.” Mr. Hale, a retired worker who’s lived here for 30 years, shook his head and said, “Cleaning this up will take too much time and energy. It’s useless to even try.” His words made the others whisper in agreement. I felt my hope dying fast, and looked over at Leo helplessly.
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。
Leo raised his hand, saying, “Count me in.”
