第二部分 阅读(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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Climate change is rapidly altering our planet. Some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations may soon be just memories. Here are four places facing an uncertain future. Will you visit them before they transform forever?
Destination: The Alps, Europe
●Main Attraction: Majestic peaks & premier ski slopes
●Primary Threat: Rising temperatures lead to melting glaciers and reduced snowfall.
●Ideal Season: December-March
Destination: Great Barrier Reef, Australia
● Main Attraction: The planet’s largest coral ecosystem
● Primary Threat: Ocean warming causes coral bleaching, often fatal to coral.
● Ideal Season: June-October
Destination: Maldives
●Main Attraction: Paradise-like white-sand islands & lagoons
●Primary Threat: Sea-level rise threatens to submerge this low-lying nation.
●Ideal Season: November-April
Destination: Amazon Rainforest, South America
●Main Attraction: Unparalleled biodiversity & vital oxygen source
●Primary Threat: Increased droughts and wildfires consume vast areas.
●Ideal Season: June-September
Observing these transformations firsthand is powerful, yet how we travel is critical. Experts advocate for eco-conscious tourism that actively supports local conservation initiatives. Opt for trains over short flights when accessing the Alps. Protect marine life by applying only reef-safe sunscreen when visiting the Great Barrier. In the Maldives, prioritize accommodations using solar energy. When exploring the Amazon, choose tour operators that employ indigenous guides and fund reforestation projects.
“We urge not an end to travel, but a transformation of it,” asserts Dr. Elena Costa, an environmental scientist. “Witnessing a retreating glacier or a bleached reef leaves a profound impression. Such experiences frequently transform tourists into passionate advocates for preservation, inspiring sustainable lifestyle changes that endure long after their journey concludes.”
The clock is ticking. To witness these treasures in their current state, plan your trip thoughtfully and minimize your footprint. The future of these treasures depends on the choices we make today.
21. What do the Alps and the Great Barrier Reef have in common?
A. The location. B. The surroundings.
C. The reason for threat. D. The best time to visit.
22. Which of the following is an eco-friendly practice?
A. Employing guides in Amazon.
B. Using sunscreen in Great Barrier Reef.
C. Taking a short-distance flight in the Alps.
D. Staying in hotels powered by the sun in Maldives.
23. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To warn. B. To compare. C. To encourage. D. To advertise.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个正面临气候威胁的旅游胜地,指出气候变化正迅速改变地球,呼吁人们采取环保旅游方式,在见证美景的同时保护环境,减少对自然的破坏。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Destination: The Alps, Europe部分中“Rising temperatures lead to melting glaciers and reduced snowfall (气温上升导致冰川融化,降雪减少)”以及Destination: Great Barrier Reef, Australia 部分中“Ocean warming causes coral bleaching, often fatal to coral (海洋变暖导致珊瑚白化,通常对珊瑚是致命的) ”可知,二者面临的威胁原因都与温度上升有关,所以它们共同之处在于威胁的原因。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“In the Maldives, prioritize accommodations using solar energy. When exploring the Amazon, choose tour operators that employ indigenous guides and fund reforestation projects.( 在马尔代夫,优先选择使用太阳能的住宿。在探索亚马逊地区时,选择雇佣当地向导并资助重新造林项目的旅游运营商。)”可知,在马尔代夫的太阳能供电酒店里住宿属于环保的做法。故选D。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Climate change is rapidly altering our planet. Some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations may soon be just memories. Here are four places facing an uncertain future. Will you visit them before they transform forever?( 气候变化正在迅速改变着我们的地球。世界上一些最令人惊叹的旅游胜地可能很快就会成为回忆。以下是四个面临不确定未来的地点。在它们发生永久性变化之前,您是否会前往游览呢?)”以及通读全文可知,文章开头指出气候变化正在迅速改变地球,一些令人惊叹的旅游胜地可能很快成为回忆,接着介绍了四个面临不确定未来的旅游地。因此,文章主要目的是鼓励人们进行环保旅游,在见证美景的同时保护环境。故选C。
B
23-year-old Rachna Kumari is a soft-spoken young woman selling unique wheat stalk paintings (麦秆画) handmade by herself. Every morning, even before her mother awakens, she finishes cooking and cleaning before cycling 5km to run her shop alone. Over the past year, she has sold about 200 of her paintings, 50 of which were bought since she opened her shop in April this year.
However, back in 2019, Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores.
Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar, providing vocational training, entrepreneurship (创业), and life skills courses to young women. Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King’s Trust International, enabled girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realise their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans.
After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. One such session on wheat stalk painting made her fall in love with this traditional art form of Bahraich and her creativity was brought out.
Now she is economically independent by selling wheat stalk paintings. However, Rachna is not resting on her achievements. Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their feet get a second chance to change their lives like she did.
While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. From being a trainee under this project to now becoming its paid trainer, Rachna’s life has come full circle.
24. What once upset Rachna?
A. Dropping out of school. B. Losing her favorite job.
C. Riding to her shop alone. D. Doing household chores.
25. How did Rachna benefit from Project Lehar?
A. She was funded to open her own shop. B. She got the chance to continue her studies.
C. She changed her attitude toward marriage. D. She learned life skills from women like her.
26. What brings Rachna more sense of achievement?
A. Becoming an extraordinary woman artist. B. Working as a wheat stalk painting trainer.
C. Giving financial help to disadvantaged girls. D. Launching the famous Project Lehar independently.
27. Which of the following words best describe Rachna?
A. Gifted and adventurous. B. Easygoing and confident.
C. Hard-working and creative. D. Wealthy and independent.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Rachna通过自身努力和AKF项目实现人生转变的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“However, back in 2019, Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores. (然而,早在2019年,由于家庭经济问题,Rachna不得不离开学校,几乎放弃了生活。她变得沮丧起来,想着她将不得不把剩下的时间花在做家务上)”可知,让Rachna心烦的是辍学这件事。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. (在她通过Lehar项目进入大学后,她也得到了一些关于创业和职业前景的建议)”可知,Rachna通过Project Lehar项目被大学录取,并得到了关于创业和职业前景的建议。因此,她从Project Lehar项目中受益的是有机会继续她的学业。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. (虽然教这些热情的年轻女孩是一种愉快的经历,但让Rachna更自豪的是,她被基金会选为麦秆绘画培训师)”可知,作为麦秆画培训师的工作给Rachna带来了更多的成就感。故选B。

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a rice-sized underwater tracking tag (装置), addressing a longstanding gap in studying small aquatic (水生的) species. The gap has blocked conservation efforts for decades, as tiny creatures often form the base of aquatic food webs but remain understudied due to technological limitations.
Biologists have long depended on radio and satellite tags, which revolutionized animal behavior research. Yet underwater tracking of minute species like the endangered delta smelt, a silvery fish about 2.5 inches long, is seriously restricted. Existing tags are too burdensome for their size and need large batteries to make up for the loss of signals in water-a medium that weakens both radio and high-frequency sound waves.
Directed by a critical scientific principle that tags should not exceed 2% of an animal’s body mass, PNNL targeted a weight of merely 0.002 ounces for smelt-ten times lighter than a pencil eraser and a quarter the weight of the lightest commercial alternative.
PNNL’s new technology combines two key things: micro-batteries that hold vast quantities of electric power and better-designed signal senders. With this, the tag can work for about 40 days-sufficient to track full river migration cycles-and its signal can be picked up from hundreds of meters away.
Scientists are already using this tag to study the young American shad, an endangered species threatened by dam construction, with plans to test it on delta smelt by next year. This tag will unlock insights into the small species that sustain entire ecosystems-and finally answer urgent questions about where they lay their eggs and migration routes-key to restoring their population amid pollution and habitat loss.
Nevertheless, certain issues remain unresolved. Small tags send signals at a higher frequency, but most of the current tools that receive these signals are made for bigger tags that use lower frequencies. However, progress in standards for underwater sound sensors gives a way to create corresponding monitoring systems.
28. What does the underlined words “The gap” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Few aquatic species. B. Little study on food webs.
C. Lack of conservation rules. D. No proper underwater trackers.
29. What’s the distinct characteristic of the micro-batteries in PNNL’s new technology?
A. Long-lasting. B. Solar-powered. C. Water-proof. D. Cost-effective.
30. What does the author highlight in paragraph 5?
A. How the tag can contribute. B. What species the tag targets.
C. How tiny species go extinct. D. Why aquatic species are conserved.
31. What will scientists likely do for future tracking according to the last paragraph?
A. Abandon the new tag. B. Reduce the tag’s frequency.
C. Upgrade the receiving systems. D. Standardize the systems globally.

In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favorite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why — live music engages the brain’s emotion centers more than its recorded counterpart.
Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together through crescendos, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact. Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness, dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network. The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo and pitch, far more closely when it was played live.
While the study didn’t fully recreate the live concert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing.
32. Why do people choose live shows over streaming music?
A. To enjoy the unique live atmosphere.
B. To meet favorite musicians in person.
C. To escape the boredom of recorded music.
D. To acquire a stronger emotional connection.
33. What was the pianist asked to do during the “live” experiment?
A. Demonstrate mood perception ability.
B. Play pre-recorded music to participants.
C. Compare live and pre-recorded performances.
D. Give an adaptive performance based on brain activity.
34. What did the PNAS study find about live music?
A. It affected only the amygdala of the brain.
B. It generated intense brain responses to sound elements.
C. It had a weaker emotional effect than pre-recorded music.
D. It strengthened emotions more in sad tunes than happy ones.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Music Consumption Evolved in the Digital Age
B. Why Your Brain Prefers Live Concerts to Streaming Songs
C. Live Music vs. Recorded Music: A Neuroscientific Perspective
D. ABBA Voyage: Redefining the Future of Virtual Concert Experiences

Being sensitive means that you are observant, careful, and thoughtful. It can also mean you sometimes overinterpret or overreact to perceived criticism or judgment. If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. ____36____
The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power”. ____37____ For example, those working on complex research projects with “sluggish power” persist with focus and determination in the face of challenges such as tight deadlines and limited resources. Their resilience facilitates effective problem-solving, ensuring the successful completion of tasks despite obstacles.
____38____ That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability — a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go.
Practicing insensitivity involves several key strategies. Firstly, be self-assured. Express your needs and opinions positively and with confidence. Secondly, adopt a forward-looking mindset. Focus on long-term goals rather than the ups and downs of life at the moment. Additionally, withdraw from external influences. ____39____ Lastly, manage relationships. Recognize your personal responsibilities while respecting others’ boundaries. Don’t poke your nose into other people’s subjects and don’t let others get involved in yours either.
I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive. ____40____ Once you become a bit “sluggish” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable.
A. Insensitivity springs from self-awareness.
B. Insensitivity fuels deep focus on personal goals.
C. That is where the need to be insensitive comes from.
D. This shows the importance of keeping sensitive under control.
E. It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward.
F. It is this gentle “sluggishness” that frees us from the noise and brings us back to peace.
G. Avoid too much concern over others’ opinions and assumptions about others’ thoughts.

How Senior High School Students Spend Their Weekends
Recently, a survey has been conducted among students in our school to find out how senior high school students spend their weekends. The results are as follows.
As the survey suggests, senior high school students’ weekends are largely dominated by screen time, accounting for 45.0%, while homework takes up 20.0%. In contrast, only 12.5% of their time is spent on exercise, and in-person socializing makes up a mere 11.3%.
In my view, such an imbalance is concerning. Excessive screen use not only harms physical health but also reduces real-life communication. I suggest students set a daily screen time limit and make time for physical activities and face-to-face interactions. A well-balanced weekend can refresh both mind and body, leading to greater efficiency in study and life.

67. 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。
Lila and Mia had been inseparable best friends since kindergarten. They shared every secret, laughed at the same silly jokes, and spent almost every afternoon together in the school art room, their favorite place in the world. Both of them were crazy about painting, and their biggest dream was to win the annual school art festival competition, whose first prize was a two-week summer art camp in the city.
Weeks before the competition, Lila got a perfect creative idea. She planned to paint the sunset view of the old wooden bridge at the town’s west end, the spot where she and Mia had spent countless afternoons talking about their dreams. She kept the idea top secret, only scribbling a rough draft of the bridge and sunset in her sketchbook, which she always locked in her art room locker.
But three days before the submission deadline, disaster struck. Lila found her locker half open, her sketchbook nowhere to be found. Panic washed over her as she searched every corner of the art room, but there was no trace of it. The next morning, when she passed the display area for contestants’ draft works, her blood ran cold. There was Mia’s painting, the exact sunset bridge view, every line of the bridge and the color of the sunset matching her draft perfectly.
Lila’s heart broke into pieces. She avoided Mia at all costs, ignoring her texts and turning away abruptly when Mia tried to catch up with her. For a whole week, the two girls who used to be glued together didn’t exchange a single word. Lila was drowned in anger and disappointment, convinced that her once trusted best friend had stolen her idea and her long-cherished dream.
On Friday afternoon, the school bell rang for dismissal. Dark clouds rolled in all of a sudden, and a heavy downpour poured down in the blink of an eye. Lila stood at the school gate, staring at the pouring rain helplessly — she had forgotten to bring her umbrella, and her parents were still at work. She hugged her schoolbag to her chest, eyes stinging with unshed tears, when a familiar figure walked towards her through the curtain of rain.
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。
Mia stopped in front of her, holding a big blue umbrella in her hand, the same one they had bought together on their 16th birthday.

【答案】参考范文
Mia stopped in front of her, holding a big blue umbrella in her hand, the same one they had bought together on their 16th birthday. Without a word, she held the umbrella over Lila’s head, and pulled the lost sketchbook out of her bag. She explained she’d found it on the art room floor, and the painting was to show the bridge was their shared memory, not a stolen idea. She’d added two little figures of them on the bridge, a detail Lila had never drawn. Lila’s eyes filled with tears of regret as she realized her stupid mistake.
That night, Lila sent a long apology message to Mia, her fingers trembling slightly as she pressed the send button. She said how sorry she was for doubting her, and how much their friendship meant to her. Minutes later, Mia replied, saying she’d never been angry, and that the art camp would be no fun without Lila. The next morning, the two girls walked into the art room hand in hand again, their laughter filling the room just like before.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章讲述了Lila和Mia是亲密无间的好友,都梦想赢得艺术比赛。Lila的创意被盗,她误以为好友所为,两人关系破裂。最终误会解除,Lila向Mia道歉,两人重归于好,再次携手走进艺术教室,欢声笑语如初。
【详解】1.段落续写:

Climate change is rapidly altering our planet. Some of the world’s most breathtaking destinations may soon be just memories. Here are four places facing an uncertain future. Will you visit them before they transform forever?
Destination: The Alps, Europe
●Main Attraction: Majestic peaks & premier ski slopes
●Primary Threat: Rising temperatures lead to melting glaciers and reduced snowfall.
●Ideal Season: December-March
Destination: Great Barrier Reef, Australia
● Main Attraction: The planet’s largest coral ecosystem
● Primary Threat: Ocean warming causes coral bleaching, often fatal to coral.
● Ideal Season: June-October
Destination: Maldives
●Main Attraction: Paradise-like white-sand islands & lagoons
●Primary Threat: Sea-level rise threatens to submerge this low-lying nation.
●Ideal Season: November-April
Destination: Amazon Rainforest, South America
●Main Attraction: Unparalleled biodiversity & vital oxygen source
●Primary Threat: Increased droughts and wildfires consume vast areas.
●Ideal Season: June-September
Observing these transformations firsthand is powerful, yet how we travel is critical. Experts advocate for eco-conscious tourism that actively supports local conservation initiatives. Opt for trains over short flights when accessing the Alps. Protect marine life by applying only reef-safe sunscreen when visiting the Great Barrier. In the Maldives, prioritize accommodations using solar energy. When exploring the Amazon, choose tour operators that employ indigenous guides and fund reforestation projects.
“We urge not an end to travel, but a transformation of it,” asserts Dr. Elena Costa, an environmental scientist. “Witnessing a retreating glacier or a bleached reef leaves a profound impression. Such experiences frequently transform tourists into passionate advocates for preservation, inspiring sustainable lifestyle changes that endure long after their journey concludes.”
The clock is ticking. To witness these treasures in their current state, plan your trip thoughtfully and minimize your footprint. The future of these treasures depends on the choices we make today.
21. What do the Alps and the Great Barrier Reef have in common?
A. The location. B. The surroundings.
C. The reason for threat. D. The best time to visit.
22. Which of the following is an eco-friendly practice?
A. Employing guides in Amazon.
B. Using sunscreen in Great Barrier Reef.
C. Taking a short-distance flight in the Alps.
D. Staying in hotels powered by the sun in Maldives.
23. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To warn. B. To compare. C. To encourage. D. To advertise.

23-year-old Rachna Kumari is a soft-spoken young woman selling unique wheat stalk paintings (麦秆画) handmade by herself. Every morning, even before her mother awakens, she finishes cooking and cleaning before cycling 5km to run her shop alone. Over the past year, she has sold about 200 of her paintings, 50 of which were bought since she opened her shop in April this year.
However, back in 2019, Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores.
Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar, providing vocational training, entrepreneurship (创业), and life skills courses to young women. Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King’s Trust International, enabled girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realise their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans.
After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. One such session on wheat stalk painting made her fall in love with this traditional art form of Bahraich and her creativity was brought out.
Now she is economically independent by selling wheat stalk paintings. However, Rachna is not resting on her achievements. Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their feet get a second chance to change their lives like she did.
While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. From being a trainee under this project to now becoming its paid trainer, Rachna’s life has come full circle.
24. What once upset Rachna?
A. Dropping out of school. B. Losing her favorite job.
C. Riding to her shop alone. D. Doing household chores.
25. How did Rachna benefit from Project Lehar?
A. She was funded to open her own shop. B. She got the chance to continue her studies.
C. She changed her attitude toward marriage. D. She learned life skills from women like her.
26. What brings Rachna more sense of achievement?
A. Becoming an extraordinary woman artist. B. Working as a wheat stalk painting trainer.
C. Giving financial help to disadvantaged girls. D. Launching the famous Project Lehar independently.
27. Which of the following words best describe Rachna?
A. Gifted and adventurous. B. Easygoing and confident.
C. Hard-working and creative. D. Wealthy and independent.
C
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a rice-sized underwater tracking tag (装置), addressing a longstanding gap in studying small aquatic (水生的) species. The gap has blocked conservation efforts for decades, as tiny creatures often form the base of aquatic food webs but remain understudied due to technological limitations.
Biologists have long depended on radio and satellite tags, which revolutionized animal behavior research. Yet underwater tracking of minute species like the endangered delta smelt, a silvery fish about 2.5 inches long, is seriously restricted. Existing tags are too burdensome for their size and need large batteries to make up for the loss of signals in water-a medium that weakens both radio and high-frequency sound waves.
Directed by a critical scientific principle that tags should not exceed 2% of an animal’s body mass, PNNL targeted a weight of merely 0.002 ounces for smelt-ten times lighter than a pencil eraser and a quarter the weight of the lightest commercial alternative.
PNNL’s new technology combines two key things: micro-batteries that hold vast quantities of electric power and better-designed signal senders. With this, the tag can work for about 40 days-sufficient to track full river migration cycles-and its signal can be picked up from hundreds of meters away.
Scientists are already using this tag to study the young American shad, an endangered species threatened by dam construction, with plans to test it on delta smelt by next year. This tag will unlock insights into the small species that sustain entire ecosystems-and finally answer urgent questions about where they lay their eggs and migration routes-key to restoring their population amid pollution and habitat loss.
Nevertheless, certain issues remain unresolved. Small tags send signals at a higher frequency, but most of the current tools that receive these signals are made for bigger tags that use lower frequencies. However, progress in standards for underwater sound sensors gives a way to create corresponding monitoring systems.
28. What does the underlined words “The gap” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Few aquatic species. B. Little study on food webs.
C. Lack of conservation rules. D. No proper underwater trackers.
29. What’s the distinct characteristic of the micro-batteries in PNNL’s new technology?
A. Long-lasting. B. Solar-powered. C. Water-proof. D. Cost-effective.
30. What does the author highlight in paragraph 5?
A. How the tag can contribute. B. What species the tag targets.
C. How tiny species go extinct. D. Why aquatic species are conserved.
31. What will scientists likely do for future tracking according to the last paragraph?
A. Abandon the new tag. B. Reduce the tag’s frequency.
C. Upgrade the receiving systems. D. Standardize the systems globally.
D
In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favorite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why — live music engages the brain’s emotion centers more than its recorded counterpart.
Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together through crescendos, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact. Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness, dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network. The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo and pitch, far more closely when it was played live.
While the study didn’t fully recreate the live concert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing.
32. Why do people choose live shows over streaming music?
A. To enjoy the unique live atmosphere.
B. To meet favorite musicians in person.
C. To escape the boredom of recorded music.
D. To acquire a stronger emotional connection.
33. What was the pianist asked to do during the “live” experiment?
A. Demonstrate mood perception ability.
B. Play pre-recorded music to participants.
C. Compare live and pre-recorded performances.
D. Give an adaptive performance based on brain activity.
34. What did the PNAS study find about live music?
A. It affected only the amygdala of the brain.
B. It generated intense brain responses to sound elements.
C. It had a weaker emotional effect than pre-recorded music.
D. It strengthened emotions more in sad tunes than happy ones.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Music Consumption Evolved in the Digital Age
B. Why Your Brain Prefers Live Concerts to Streaming Songs
C. Live Music vs. Recorded Music: A Neuroscientific Perspective
D. ABBA Voyage: Redefining the Future of Virtual Concert Experiences

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。
Being sensitive means that you are observant, careful, and thoughtful. It can also mean you sometimes overinterpret or overreact to perceived criticism or judgment. If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. ____36____
The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power”. ____37____ For example, those working on complex research projects with “sluggish power” persist with focus and determination in the face of challenges such as tight deadlines and limited resources. Their resilience facilitates effective problem-solving, ensuring the successful completion of tasks despite obstacles.
____38____ That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability — a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go.
Practicing insensitivity involves several key strategies. Firstly, be self-assured. Express your needs and opinions positively and with confidence. Secondly, adopt a forward-looking mindset. Focus on long-term goals rather than the ups and downs of life at the moment. Additionally, withdraw from external influences. ____39____ Lastly, manage relationships. Recognize your personal responsibilities while respecting others’ boundaries. Don’t poke your nose into other people’s subjects and don’t let others get involved in yours either.
I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive. ____40____ Once you become a bit “sluggish” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable.
A. Insensitivity springs from self-awareness.
B. Insensitivity fuels deep focus on personal goals.
C. That is where the need to be insensitive comes from.
D. This shows the importance of keeping sensitive under control.
E. It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward.
F. It is this gentle “sluggishness” that frees us from the noise and brings us back to peace.
G. Avoid too much concern over others’ opinions and assumptions about others’ thoughts.

There were years when I ignored the call of Algonquin, ____44____ in the busyness of life — finishing school and raising kids. It all felt ____45____. With time passing, as my children grew older, the appeal of Algonquin became ____46____. I responded to the call and planned a trip there, ____47____ by family.
My family’s outdoor expertise is ____48____. My sister carefully plans our trips while my outdoorsman dad ____49____ handles tasks like setting up camp and my husband is really good at moving things around.
Nevertheless, as the trip drew near, my husband got his leg injured, for which I was left to ____50____ the first part by myself. I had driven alone before, yet the fright of carrying the heavy canoe ____51____ me considering my physical strength.

Lila and Mia had been inseparable best friends since kindergarten. They shared every secret, laughed at the same silly jokes, and spent almost every afternoon together in the school art room, their favorite place in the world. Both of them were crazy about painting, and their biggest dream was to win the annual school art festival competition, whose first prize was a two-week summer art camp in the city.
Weeks before the competition, Lila got a perfect creative idea. She planned to paint the sunset view of the old wooden bridge at the town’s west end, the spot where she and Mia had spent countless afternoons talking about their dreams. She kept the idea top secret, only scribbling a rough draft of the bridge and sunset in her sketchbook, which she always locked in her art room locker.
But three days before the submission deadline, disaster struck. Lila found her locker half open, her sketchbook nowhere to be found. Panic washed over her as she searched every corner of the art room, but there was no trace of it. The next morning, when she passed the display area for contestants’ draft works, her blood ran cold. There was Mia’s painting, the exact sunset bridge view, every line of the bridge and the color of the sunset matching her draft perfectly.
Lila’s heart broke into pieces. She avoided Mia at all costs, ignoring her texts and turning away abruptly when Mia tried to catch up with her. For a whole week, the two girls who used to be glued together didn’t exchange a single word. Lila was drowned in anger and disappointment, convinced that her once trusted best friend had stolen her idea and her long-cherished dream.
On Friday afternoon, the school bell rang for dismissal. Dark clouds rolled in all of a sudden, and a heavy downpour poured down in the blink of an eye. Lila stood at the school gate, staring at the pouring rain helplessly — she had forgotten to bring her umbrella, and her parents were still at work. She hugged her schoolbag to her chest, eyes stinging with unshed tears, when a familiar figure walked towards her through the curtain of rain.

Mia stopped in front of her, holding a big blue umbrella in her hand, the same one they had bought together on their 16th birthday.

That night, Lila sent a long apology message to Mia, her fingers trembling slightly as she pressed the send button.
