At an altitude over 4,500 meters in Burang County, Ngari Prefecture, Southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, lies Mapam Yumco Lake. For over a decade, 42-year-old Dradul has dedicated himself to protecting the wetland around this precious lake as an ecosystem guardian.
Before becoming a guardian, he struggled with temporary jobs and hoped for a steady salary. Now, he earns a stable monthly income of 2,000 yuan and comes to feel a deep sense of purpose. “Protecting this lake makes me proud. It’s not just work — it’s about preserving it for future generations,” he said.
Dradul’s workday begins early. He patrols (巡查) a fixed 10-kilometer route by motorcycle, with duties including observing the reserve, recording data, and addressing ecological threats. Last February, he and his team rescued a wing-broken eagle, sending it to a rescue center until it recovered. This July, they spent 20 minutes pulling a trapped wild out of a mudflat with ropes. Educating visitors is another core task. Dradul reminds tourists not to litter, drive on delicate grasslands, or leave waste. “In the past, the wetland was full of garbage and had fewer wild animals,” Dradul recalled. Today, the wetland is home to 411 plant species and 157 wildlife species—a remarkable level of biodiversity for such a high-altitude area.
Yet, the work is far from easy. Climate change is a major threat: melting ice and shifting rainfall patterns cause shoreline changes and grassland degradation. Human activities also continue — some visitors still litter, bathe, or wash cars in the lake. With nearly 99,000 hectares (公顷) of wetland and only 90 guardians, remote areas can’t be patrolled daily.
Despite these difficulties, Dradul remains hopeful. He dreams of Mapam Yumco Lake staying pure forever. “This responsibility, though built on small daily efforts, must be passed down. With sincerity and commitment, even the simplest actions can safeguard the lake’s beauty for generations,” he emphasized.
4. What’s the original purpose of Dradul to work as a guardian?
A. To earn a stable income. B. To help animals in need.
C. To protect a precious wetland. D. To seek a sense of purpose.
5 Which of the following can best describe Dradul’s job?
A. Well-paid but dangerous. B. Relaxing and effective.
C. Challenging but worthwhile. D. Flexible and professional.
6. What does the underlined word “degradation” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Improvement. B. Expansion. C. Decline. D. Stability.
7. What can we learn from Dradul?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. Small efforts make a big difference.
C
As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect (方言), filled with abbreviations like “hru?”(how are you?). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru?” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you?”
“While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology.
The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8% of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be indifferent to abbreviations.
David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios (情景). They examined over 200,000 conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages. They discovered a clear pattern: conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster.
“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and his colleagues concluded.
Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether.
“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.”
8. What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations?
A. They make senders seem insincere.
B. They have evolved over a long time.
C. They reshape digital communication.
D. They are a shortcut to learning dialects.
9. What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations?
A. They could become trendy.
B. They would not bother others.
C. They could ruin communication.
D. They would damage social connections.
10. Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as ______.
A. the evolution of language
B. a lower effort from the sender
C. an improved conversational quality
D. the preference for a shorter conversation
11. What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations?
A. It enhances social ties. B. It should be abandoned.
C. It depends on the context. D. It can simplify the content.
D
It’s a surprising fact that over the past 20,000 years, the human brain has decreased in size by about 10% — a change that seems controversial as human civilization keeps advancing. This puzzling phenomenon has motivated widespread curiosity among scientists and the public, with several mainstream and reasonable explanations.
Early humans relied entirely on their brains to track animals during hunting, distinguish safe plants from poisonous ones in the wild, and remember complex survival skills passed down from generation to generation. But now, with tools like calculators and smartphones, mature writing systems, and the convenient Internet, we can easily store and process information externally. For example, we no longer need to memorize a large number of mathematical formulas or complicated addresses by heart, as electronic devices can help us record and recover them quickly. Thus, the brain no longer needs to maintain a large size to carry more memories and skills.
As humans turned to farming from hunting and gathering, their diet shifted from wild animals and fruits to grains and cooked food, which are more advanced and easier to digest. Compared with the unstable diet in the hunting-gathering era, this kind of regular diet provides energy more efficiently. Since the brain consumes nearly 20% of the body’s total energy, it can contract appropriately without affecting normal functions, helping the body save energy for other important activities.
Group cooperation may be another key factor. Humans live in groups, sharing knowledge and dividing labor. Some people specialize in technology research, some in medical care, and others in education and management. Individual brains do not need to be omnipotent. The clear division of labor and close cooperation among group members ensure the group’s high efficiency, leading individual brain size to tend to be smaller.
In fact, brain size is not directly linked to intelligence. The contracting brain may be a sign of human evolution adapting to the living environment, helping us save energy and better integrate into social life.
12. Why is the brain change a puzzling phenomenon?
A. Its scale is considerable. B. Its explanations are lacking.
C It contradicts human progress. D. It has been ongoing for ages.
13. Which of the following is a cause of a smaller human brain?
A. Universal human laziness. B. Lessened memory load.
C. Demands for high efficiency. D. Irregular eating habits.
14. What does the underlined word “omnipotent” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. All-powerful. B. Discontinuous. C. Passive. D. Consistent.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The explanation of human’s smaller brain. B. The process of human brain contracting.
C. Brain size makes no difference to intelligence. D. Human civilization promotes brain growth.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Emotional intelligence (EI) is a critical skill to build stronger and empathetic (共情的) relationships, and it helps connect with our deepest feelings, allowing us to make decisions more consistent with our values and personal goals. Some individuals might naturally be more emotionally intelligent than others. ___16___
Identify and make note of your emotional reactions.
The ability to recognize and name your own emotions is an important indicator of a high EI. ___17___ This will help you practice the skill of identifying your feelings and connecting them to the events that triggered (触发) them, so you can better manage your emotions in the future.
___18___
Self-control is one of the major components of emotional intelligence, and willpower is key to self-control. Willpower involves resisting short-term temptation (诱惑) and satisfaction in order to focus on long-term goals. Researchers suggest that willpower is like a muscle, which means that it can get stronger over time with consistent, healthy exercise.
Pay attention to your body.
Instead of ignoring the physical signals of your emotions, start listening to them. Our minds and bodies are not separate, and they affect each other deeply. You can raise your EI by learning how to read physical clues that tell you into what emotions you’re feeling. ___19___
Work on your listening skills.
Truly listening to others while they speak helps you pick up on their emotions and respond to them, which is a key aspect of emotional intelligence. ___20___ Active listening skills include using engaged body language, summarizing and repeating what the other person said, asking thoughtful questions, and making sure you take equal turns talking.
A. Work on your willpower.
B. Keep things under your control.
C. Practice your active listening skills in order to be a good listener.
D. However, high EI can be developed with time through regular practice.
E. This essentially raises your self-awareness, which is a key component of EI.
F. Try starting a journal to keep track of your emotions and reflect on their causes.
G. This growing self-awareness is fundamental, as it directly influences your social skills.

47. 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。
In a small town, Sarah and her husband, David, ran a modest noodle shop. Over the years, it had become a familiar gathering place for hardworking folks in the neighborhood, especially those who often worked into the late hours.
Early in 2022, an elderly wandering man named Robert entered their shop. “Ma’am, I’d like a bowl of noodles. Here’s the money,” the elderly man said, handing over a well-worn and old one-dollar banknote. Sarah exchanged a quick glance with David, for a bowl of noodles cost five dollars. However, David accepted it without hesitation, instructing Sarah to serve Robert.
Sarah couldn’t help whispering to her husband, “David, why did you accept this old money and sell the noodles for one dollar?” David gazed at her and responded, “My dear, everyone faces challenges. What’s a bowl of noodles worth anyway? What if he goes hungry?” David’s friendly smile made Robert feel at home. He wasted no time in wolfing down the hot noodles, as if he hadn’t eaten in days. The couple watched with compassionate eyes as Robert enjoyed every single bite. After finishing his meal, Robert left with satisfaction.
Robert returned the next day, and for several days thereafter. They soon learned that Robert had a slight intellectual disability from a very young age. After the passing of his parents, he lived alone, with his elder brother visiting him occasionally. But Robert didn’t want to burden his brother’s family.
David and Sarah silently formed an unspoken agreement with Robert. They genuinely helped him but never mentioned the price. Sarah even added extra vegetables to his bowl sometimes. As months passed by, they developed a bond of kindness. Robert only visited the shop when it was less crowded. Yet, his payments went from regular dollars to small change, until he had no money left.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, Robert arrived with something unusual — a hand-drawn banknote.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When David shared Robert’s story online, it quickly gained attention.

At an altitude over 4,500 meters in Burang County, Ngari Prefecture, Southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, lies Mapam Yumco Lake. For over a decade, 42-year-old Dradul has dedicated himself to protecting the wetland around this precious lake as an ecosystem guardian.
Before becoming a guardian, he struggled with temporary jobs and hoped for a steady salary. Now, he earns a stable monthly income of 2,000 yuan and comes to feel a deep sense of purpose. “Protecting this lake makes me proud. It’s not just work — it’s about preserving it for future generations,” he said.
Dradul’s workday begins early. He patrols (巡查) a fixed 10-kilometer route by motorcycle, with duties including observing the reserve, recording data, and addressing ecological threats. Last February, he and his team rescued a wing-broken eagle, sending it to a rescue center until it recovered. This July, they spent 20 minutes pulling a trapped wild out of a mudflat with ropes. Educating visitors is another core task. Dradul reminds tourists not to litter, drive on delicate grasslands, or leave waste. “In the past, the wetland was full of garbage and had fewer wild animals,” Dradul recalled. Today, the wetland is home to 411 plant species and 157 wildlife species—a remarkable level of biodiversity for such a high-altitude area.
Yet, the work is far from easy. Climate change is a major threat: melting ice and shifting rainfall patterns cause shoreline changes and grassland degradation. Human activities also continue — some visitors still litter, bathe, or wash cars in the lake. With nearly 99,000 hectares (公顷) of wetland and only 90 guardians, remote areas can’t be patrolled daily.
Despite these difficulties, Dradul remains hopeful. He dreams of Mapam Yumco Lake staying pure forever. “This responsibility, though built on small daily efforts, must be passed down. With sincerity and commitment, even the simplest actions can safeguard the lake’s beauty for generations,” he emphasized.
4. What’s the original purpose of Dradul to work as a guardian?
A. To earn a stable income. B. To help animals in need.
C. To protect a precious wetland. D. To seek a sense of purpose.
5. Which of the following can best describe Dradul’s job?
A. Well-paid but dangerous. B. Relaxing and effective.
C. Challenging but worthwhile. D. Flexible and professional.
6. What does the underlined word “degradation” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Improvement. B. Expansion. C. Decline. D. Stability.
7. What can we learn from Dradul?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. Small efforts make a big difference.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了西藏自治区普兰县玛旁雍错湖畔的生态守护者Dradul,十余年来坚守在海拔4500米以上的湿地保护区,克服艰难环境,通过日常巡查、救助动物、教育游客等行动守护生态平衡的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Before becoming a guardian, he struggled with temporary jobs and hoped for a steady salary.(在成为守护者之前,他靠打零工度日,期盼能拥有一份稳定的收入)”可知,Dradul最初选择担任生态守护者,是为了获得稳定收入。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段“Last February, he and his team rescued a wing-broken eagle, sending it to a rescue center until it recovered. This July, they spent 20 minutes pulling a trapped wild out of a mudflat with ropes. Educating visitors is another core task. Dradul reminds tourists not to litter, drive on delicate grasslands, or leave waste. “In the past, the wetland was full of garbage and had fewer wild animals,” Dradul recalled. Today, the wetland is home to 411 plant species and 157 wildlife species — a remarkable level of biodiversity for such a high-altitude area(去年二月,他和团队救助了一只翅膀受伤的鹰,并将其送往救助中心,直至它康复。今年七月,他们又花了20分钟,用绳索将一只被困的野生动物从泥滩中拉了出来。向游客开展宣传教育是另一项核心任务。Dradul提醒游客不要乱扔垃圾、不要在脆弱的草原上驾车行驶,也不要遗留废弃物。“过去,这片湿地垃圾遍地,野生动物也寥寥无几,”Dradul回忆道。如今,这片湿地孕育着411种植物和157种野生动物——对于如此高海拔的地区而言,这堪称卓越的生物多样性水平)”可知,Dradul在工作中救助野生动物,并提醒游客的不文明行为,由于他的工作,如今湿地孕育着411种植物和157种野生动物,可推理出这份工作极具价值与意义。再根据第四段“Yet, the work is far from easy. Climate change is a major threat...With nearly 99,000 hectares of wetland and only 90 guardians, remote areas can’t be patrolled daily.(然而这份工作并不轻松,气候变化、不当人类活动、人员短缺等问题都带来重重困难)”可知,这份工作困难重重,充满挑战。综上可知这份工作充满挑战但十分值得,故选C项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第四段“Climate change is a major threat: melting ice and shifting rainfall patterns cause shoreline changes and grassland ….(气候变化是主要威胁:冰川融化与降雨模式改变,造成湖岸线变化以及草地……)”可知,划线词上文提到了冰川融化、降雨模式改变以及湖岸线变化,说的是气候变化的威胁,由此可推理出划线词的含义为“衰退、恶化”,故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This responsibility, though built on small daily efforts, must be passed down. With sincerity and commitment, even the simplest actions can safeguard the lake’s beauty for generations.(这份责任,虽源于日常点滴的努力,却必须代代传承。只要怀揣真诚与担当,哪怕是最细微的行动,也能守护这湖泊之美,让它永续流传)”可知,文中提到点滴行动也能长久守护湖泊之美,让它永续流传,由此可推理出文章表达了微小努力也能造就巨大改变的道理。故选D项。
C
As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect (方言), filled with abbreviations like “hru?”(how are you?). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru?” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you?”
“While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology.
The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8% of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be indifferent to abbreviations.
David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios (情景). They examined over 200,000 conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages. They discovered a clear pattern: conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster.
“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and his colleagues concluded.
Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether.
“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.”
8. What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations?
A. They make senders seem insincere.
B. They have evolved over a long time.
C. They reshape digital communication.
D. They are a shortcut to learning dialects.
9. What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations?
A. They could become trendy.
B. They would not bother others.
C. They could ruin communication.
D. They would damage social connections.
10. Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as ______.
A. the evolution of language
B. a lower effort from the sender
C. an improved conversational quality
D. the preference for a shorter conversation
11. What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations?
A. It enhances social ties. B. It should be abandoned.
C. It depends on the context. D. It can simplify the content.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了斯坦福大学方大卫及其团队关于短信缩写在人际交流中影响的研究发现,揭示了其可能导致沟通效率降低、给他人留下负面印象,并强调缩写的使用需依具体情境而定。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru?” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you?” (尽管几乎所有发短信的人都使用这些快捷方式,但研究结果表明,匆忙发出一个快速的“hru?”可能不如花时间完整拼写出“How are you?”显得真诚)”可知,研究结果表明,使用短信缩写会让发送者显得不够真诚。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. (虽然99%的人使用缩写,84%的人认为别人不介意,但研究表明,缩写信息总是会给人留下负面印象)”可知,短信发送者通常认为使用缩写不会给他人带来困扰。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中Fang的话“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness.(我们的研究表明,短信缩写通过减少感知努力对人际交往产生负面影响,从而导致感知诚意和响应性降低)”可知,Fang的研究揭示,使用缩写会被认为是发送者付出较低的努力。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether. (但他并不认为人们应该完全停止使用缩写)”和倒数第一段Fang的话“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver (我们通常会根据关系的重要性来调整我们在对话中付出的努力。在某些情况下,付出较少的努力是合理的,比如与送货司机快速发短信)”可推知,方大卫认为是否使用缩写取决于具体情境和关系。故选C项。
D
It’s a surprising fact that over the past 20,000 years, the human brain has decreased in size by about 10% — a change that seems controversial as human civilization keeps advancing. This puzzling phenomenon has motivated widespread curiosity among scientists and the public, with several mainstream and reasonable explanations.
Early humans relied entirely on their brains to track animals during hunting, distinguish safe plants from poisonous ones in the wild, and remember complex survival skills passed down from generation to generation. But now, with tools like calculators and smartphones, mature writing systems, and the convenient Internet, we can easily store and process information externally. For example, we no longer need to memorize a large number of mathematical formulas or complicated addresses by heart, as electronic devices can help us record and recover them quickly. Thus, the brain no longer needs to maintain a large size to carry more memories and skills.
As humans turned to farming from hunting and gathering, their diet shifted from wild animals and fruits to grains and cooked food, which are more advanced and easier to digest. Compared with the unstable diet in the hunting-gathering era, this kind of regular diet provides energy more efficiently. Since the brain consumes nearly 20% of the body’s total energy, it can contract appropriately without affecting normal functions, helping the body save energy for other important activities.
Group cooperation may be another key factor. Humans live in groups, sharing knowledge and dividing labor. Some people specialize in technology research, some in medical care, and others in education and management. Individual brains do not need to be omnipotent. The clear division of labor and close cooperation among group members ensure the group’s high efficiency, leading individual brain size to tend to be smaller.
In fact, brain size is not directly linked to intelligence. The contracting brain may be a sign of human evolution adapting to the living environment, helping us save energy and better integrate into social life.
12. Why is the brain change a puzzling phenomenon?
A. Its scale is considerable. B. Its explanations are lacking.
C It contradicts human progress. D. It has been ongoing for ages.
13. Which of the following is a cause of a smaller human brain?
A. Universal human laziness. B. Lessened memory load.
C. Demands for high efficiency. D. Irregular eating habits.
14. What does the underlined word “omnipotent” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. All-powerful. B. Discontinuous. C. Passive. D. Consistent.
15. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The explanation of human’s smaller brain. B. The process of human brain contracting.
C. Brain size makes no difference to intelligence. D. Human civilization promotes brain growth.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人类大脑在过去两万年缩小10%现象,并分析背后的三大主流原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It’s a surprising fact that over the past 20,000 years, the human brain has decreased in size by about 10% — a change that seems controversial as human civilization keeps advancing. This puzzling phenomenon has motivated widespread curiosity(一个令人惊讶的事实是,在过去的 2 万年里,人类大脑的体积缩小了约 10%—— 这一变化看起来颇具争议,因为人类文明一直在不断进步。这一令人费解的现象引发了人们的广泛好奇。)”可知,人类大脑缩小之所以是费解的现象,是因为它和人类文明的进步相矛盾。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“we can easily store and process information externally. For example, we no longer need to memorize a large number of mathematical formulas or complicated addresses by heart, as electronic devices can help us record and recover them quickly. Thus, the brain no longer needs to maintain a large size to carry more memories and skills.(我们可以借助外界工具轻松地存储和处理信息。例如,我们不再需要牢记大量的数学公式或复杂的地址,因为电子设备能够帮助我们快速地记录和调取这些信息。因此,大脑也就无需再维持较大的体积,去承载更多的记忆和技能)”可知,人类记忆负担的减轻,是大脑体积变小的原因之一。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Humans live in groups, sharing knowledge and dividing labor. Some people specialize in technology research, some in medical care, and others in education and management(人类过着群居生活,共享知识且分工明确。有人专攻技术研究,有人从事医疗行业,还有人投身教育与管理领域)”可知,在分工合作的社会中,个体无需掌握所有技能。因此omnipotent的含义是“全能的、无所不能的”,与All-powerful意思一致。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段提出人类大脑缩小的费解现象,第二、三、四段分别从“外部工具分担记忆负担”“饮食结构变化节约能量”“群体分工降低个体能力需求”三个角度分析原因,最后一段总结大脑体积与智力无直接关联,缩小是适应环境的进化。因此全文核心是解释人类大脑缩小的原因。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕提高情商这一主题,向读者介绍了提高情商的多种方法。
【16题详解】
前文提到“Some individuals might naturally be more emotionally intelligent than others (有些人可能天生情商就比别人高)”,而文章整体是在讲提高情商的方法,说明即使天生情商不高也能提升。选项D“However, high EI can be developed with time through regular practice (然而,通过定期练习,高情商是可以随着时间培养出来的)”,“However” 表示转折,引出了后文关于提高情商方法的内容。故选D。
【17题详解】
前文“The ability to recognize and name your own emotions is an important indicator of a high EI.(识别和说出自己情绪的能力是高情商的重要指标。)”强调识别和说出自己情绪的能力是高情商的重要指标,后文提到“This will help you practice the skill of identifying your feelings and connecting them to the events that triggered (触发) them (这将帮助你练习识别自己的情绪,并将它们与触发这些情绪的事件联系起来)”,说明这里要填一个能帮助实现情绪识别和关联事件的方法。选项F“Try starting a journal to keep track of your emotions and reflect on their causes (试着开始写日记,记录你的情绪并反思其原因)”,写日记可以记录情绪及触发事件,符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
此空位于段落开头,是段落主题句。后文提到“Self - control is one of the major components of emotional intelligence, and willpower is key to self - control (自我控制是情商的主要组成部分之一,而意志力是自我控制的关键)”,强调了意志力对情商中自我控制的重要性。选项A“Work on your willpower (锻炼你的意志力)”,准确概括了段落内容。故选A。
【19题详解】
前文“Instead of ignoring the physical signals of your emotions, start listening to them. Our minds and bodies are not separate, and they affect each other deeply. You can raise your EI by learning how to read physical clues that tell you into what emotions you’re feeling.(与其忽视你情绪的身体信号,不如开始倾听它们。我们的思想和身体并不是分开的,它们深深地影响着彼此。你可以通过学习如何解读身体线索来提高情商,这些线索能告诉你自己的情绪。)”说可以通过学习解读身体信号来提高情商,选项E“This essentially raises your self - awareness, which is a key component of EI (这实际上提高了你的自我意识,而自我意识是情商的关键组成部分)”,“This” 指代前文通过身体信号了解情绪的做法,说明这种做法能提高自我意识,进而提高情商,与前文逻辑连贯。故选E。
【20题详解】
前文“Truly listening to others while they speak helps you pick up on their emotions and respond to them, which is a key aspect of emotional intelligence.(当别人说话的时候,真正地倾听可以帮助你理解他们的情绪,并对他们做出反应,这是情商的一个关键方面。)”提到真正倾听他人说话有助于察觉他们的情绪并做出回应,是情商的关键方面,后文“Active listening skills include using engaged body language, summarizing and repeating what the other person said, asking thoughtful questions, and making sure you take equal turns talking.(积极倾听的技巧包括使用积极的肢体语言,总结和重复对方所说的话,提出深思熟虑的问题,并确保你们轮流说话。)”列举了积极倾听的技巧。选项C“Practice your active listening skills in order to be a good listener (练习你的积极倾听技巧,以便成为一个好的倾听者)”,既承接前文强调倾听的重要性,又引出后文积极倾听技巧的内容,所以选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国神舟21号飞船成功发射,携带老鼠进行太空实验的相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国神舟21号飞船在太空中心经过数月的精心准备后成功发射,携带了一群特殊的“乘客”——老鼠。句子已有谓语“was successfully launched”,此处为非谓语,主句的主语“China’s Shenzhou-21 spacecraft”与动词“carry”之间存在主动关系,应使用现在分词,作伴随状语,故填carrying。
【37题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:只有那些符合最高科学标准的动物才会被选中参加这项重要的实验。此处为句子谓语,主语“those”与“choose”之间是被动关系,且实验筛选发生在过去,应使用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用were,故填were chosen。
【38题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:当飞船发射时,研究人员通过一个特殊的通信链路密切监测老鼠的状况。此处表示“老鼠的状况”,应用名词所有格,故填mice’s。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:现在在地球轨道上,老鼠正在天宫空间站内一个专门设计的环境中进行研究。“in orbit”表示“在轨道上”,是固定短语,故填in。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:现在在地球轨道上,老鼠正在天宫空间站内一个专门设计的环境中进行研究,那里先进的设备正在自动收集有关它们日常活动的有价值数据。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“a specially designed environment”,先行词指地点,关系词在从句中作状语,所以使用关系副词where引导该定语从句,故填where。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:现在在地球轨道上,老鼠正在天宫空间站内一个专门设计的环境中进行研究,那里先进的设备正在自动收集有关它们日常活动的有价值数据。此处修饰动词“collecting”,应使用副词automatically作状语,表示“自动地”,故填automatically。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:实验的主要目的是准确研究太空环境如何在细胞层面影响生物可能会揭示全新的发现。此处作表语,说明主语The primary aim的具体内容,应用动词不定式,表示目的。故填to study。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:项目负责人李博士指出,这些结果将帮助科学家为宇航员开发更好的保护措施,并在未来提高整体任务的安全性。根据in the future可知表示将来的动作,且主句谓语动词noted为过去式,从句需用过去将来时,其结构为would+动词原形。故填would help。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:项目负责人李博士指出,这些结果将帮助科学家为宇航员开发更好的保护措施,并在未来提高整体任务的安全性。此处作“improve”的宾语,应使用名词safety,表示“安全性”,不可数名词。故填safety。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这项实验不仅代表了国家太空计划向前迈出的一大步,也为人类对地球以外生命的共同认知做出了重大贡献。此处修饰名词“knowledge”,应使用形容词shared作定语,表示“共同的”,故填shared。

Senior High School Students’ Weekend Activities
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Senior High School Students’ Weekend Activities
Recently, a survey about senior high school students’ weekend activities has been conducted. As the chart shows, 55% of students spend most of their weekends studying, while only 20% take exercise, 15% go online for entertainment, and 10% do other things.
It is clear that study takes up most of students’ weekend time, which leaves them little room for relaxation and physical exercise. This unbalanced arrangement may do harm to their physical and mental health in the long run.
In my view, students should balance study and leisure. They can set aside enough time for sports and hobbies, which will help them study more efficiently on weekdays.

47. 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。
In a small town, Sarah and her husband, David, ran a modest noodle shop. Over the years, it had become a familiar gathering place for hardworking folks in the neighborhood, especially those who often worked into the late hours.
Early in 2022, an elderly wandering man named Robert entered their shop. “Ma’am, I’d like a bowl of noodles. Here’s the money,” the elderly man said, handing over a well-worn and old one-dollar banknote. Sarah exchanged a quick glance with David, for a bowl of noodles cost five dollars. However, David accepted it without hesitation, instructing Sarah to serve Robert.
Sarah couldn’t help whispering to her husband, “David, why did you accept this old money and sell the noodles for one dollar?” David gazed at her and responded, “My dear, everyone faces challenges. What’s a bowl of noodles worth anyway? What if he goes hungry?” David’s friendly smile made Robert feel at home. He wasted no time in wolfing down the hot noodles, as if he hadn’t eaten in days. The couple watched with compassionate eyes as Robert enjoyed every single bite. After finishing his meal, Robert left with satisfaction.
Robert returned the next day, and for several days thereafter. They soon learned that Robert had a slight intellectual disability from a very young age. After the passing of his parents, he lived alone, with his elder brother visiting him occasionally. But Robert didn’t want to burden his brother’s family.
David and Sarah silently formed an unspoken agreement with Robert. They genuinely helped him but never mentioned the price. Sarah even added extra vegetables to his bowl sometimes. As months passed by, they developed a bond of kindness. Robert only visited the shop when it was less crowded. Yet, his payments went from regular dollars to small change, until he had no money left.
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。
One day, Robert arrived with something unusual — a hand-drawn banknote.

When David shared Robert’s story online it quickly gained attention.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
One day, Robert arrived with something unusual — a hand-drawn banknote. It was drawn with meticulous detail. Sarah and David were touched by Robert’s artistic endeavor and the effort he had put into creating a personalized payment. They knew that it wasn’t about the monetary value, but the genuine connection that they had established with Robert. The couple decided to display Robert’s hand-drawn banknote in a special frame on the wall of their noodle shop. Customers were intrigued by the story behind the artwork, and some thought it would be very inspirational if David shared it with more people.
When David shared Robert’s story online, it quickly gained attention. People started coming to Sarah and David’s noodle shop not just for the delicious food, but also to support their act of kindness. The couple received messages and phone calls from individuals who wanted to help Robert in any way they could. Some offered financial assistance, while others volunteered to provide companionship and support for Robert. With the ongoing support, Robert’s life took a positive turn. Indeed, a small act of kindness can have a ripple effect, creating a more beautiful world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了David和Sarah夫妻两人经营着一家不起眼的面馆,一天老人Robert走进面馆点了一碗面,给了一张破旧的一元钞票,虽然一碗面要五元,但是David毫不迟疑地收下了,给他端上面条,Robert狼吞虎咽地吃下面,夫妻两人很同情他。接下来,Robert成了面馆的常客,夫妻两人得知他有轻微的智力障碍,日子很艰难,但在尽力独立生活,于是总是默默地帮助他。几个月里,Robert只在人少的时候来,付的钱越来越少,直到他没有钱了。
