Chenoa Tremblay is a radio astronomer who uses radio telescopes and a specific analytical technique to study molecules (分子) in the gas layers (层) around stars. By analyzing these molecules’ unique frequency signals, she identifies signs related to life—such as water—that are potential signs of life beyond the Earth. Additionally, she uses computers and advanced mathematics to turn these signals into images, enabling the study of the universe in ways that human eyes can’t.
Tremblay grew up in a small town in New Hampshire. There wasn’t a lot of expectation of girls doing much outside of home. But she was a naturally very curious child. Throughout high school, learning was hard for her most of the time. But math was always fairly easy, and she enjoyed chemistry.
Tremblay decided to study business and accounting in college. It seemed logical, but she really wasn’t sure what she’d do with it. Her roommate was studying chemistry, and she found herself helping her with her homework. Her roommate and friends eventually convinced her to study chemistry instead.
Tremblay started volunteering for university projects to learn from teachers. That helped her figure out how to become a radio astronomer. In 2016, she got into a doctoral program for physics and astronomy in Australia. During her program, Tremblay and her team were using a brand-new radio telescope in Western Australia. In high school and her first years in college, she had great difficulty with physics. So it’s really funny that she ended up with a Ph. D. in the subject. At some point in the learning process, things just started to click.
“The career you decide on now doesn’t have to be what you do later. You can change your mind and switch paths.” Tremblay said in a speech for young students. “You can explore what you find interesting about the world.”
4. What does Chenoa Tremblay mainly study as a radio astronomer?
A. The structure of stars in the universe.
B. The design of advanced radio telescopes.
C. The molecules in the gas layers around stars.
D. Mathematical models for analyzing signals.
5. Why did Tremblay change her major in college?
A. She found business and accounting too difficult.
B. Her parents advised her to change her major.
C. She wished to pursue astronomy much earlier.
D. Her roommate and friends finally persuaded her.
6. What can be concluded about Tremblay’s learning of physics?
A. She was always quite good at physics. B. She struggled first but succeeded finally.
C. She never liked it and avoided learning it. D. She found it easier than her math studies.
7. Which can best describe Tremblay’s career path?
A. Full of changes and exploration. B. Straight and planned from the start.
C. Limited by her early environment. D. Driven mainly by academic success.
C
Could birds hold the key to making airplanes safer and more efficient? At Princeton University, scientists believe the answer is yes. Inspired by birds, aerospace engineer Aimy Wissa and her team developed special flaps (襟翼) that move freely along aircraft wings. Much like tiny feathers, these flaps help planes to reduce fuel consumption, and prevent dangerous stalls (失速)。
It was from watching gannets, a type of seabird, that this idea first emerged. When flying through strong winds, these birds’ small feathers pop up, adjusting airflow and maintaining stability. What if airplanes could do the same? Wissa and her team sought to answer this question by attaching flexible plastic flaps to a remote-controlled aircraft. The results? Remarkable. Not only did the flaps reduce drag by 31% and increase lift by 45%, but they also made stalls occur more gradually, improving flight safety.
Unlike traditional wing flaps, which require mechanical systems to function, these new flaps respond naturally to air currents. As airflow changes, they adjust automatically — just like a bird’s feathers. With extreme weather becoming more frequent due to climate change, such a design could make airplanes more adaptable.
Nature has long driven engineering innovation. From da Vinci’s bird-like flying machines to Lilienthal’s studies of bird flight, early pioneers in flight technology drew inspiration from nature. Yet, as technology advances, engineers are distancing themselves from nature-inspired designs, thinking they have moved beyond them. But have they? Wissa’s research proves nature still holds valuable lessons, with biological solutions reshaping modern air travel.
Will these flaps appear on commercial airplanes soon? Some experts say it remains uncertain. Just as it took decades for shark-skin-inspired aircraft surfaces to reach the market, this innovation will also face challenges before large-scale adoption. However, smaller aircraft — such as urban air taxis, and short-distance planes — may adopt this technology much sooner. For millions of years, birds have mastered the skies. If engineers continue to learn from nature, then the future of flight may be reshaped in ways once thought impossible.
8. What pushed Aimy Wissa to carry out the research?
A. Her interest in aircraft. B. Her observation of a bird.
C. The frequency of dangerous stalls. D. The concern over fuel consumption.
9. What is the significance of Wissa’s research?
A. It has revealed da Vinci’s idea. B. It has innovated operating systems.
C. It has proved the potential of nature. D. It has offered a solution to air currents.
10. What’s the author’s attitude to the prospect of the technology?
A. Uncaring. B. Worried. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Inspired by Lilienthal: A New Era of Flight B. Learning from Birds: A Flight Revolution
C. Could Nature Advance Technology? D. Could Flaps Enhance Flight Safety?
D
Compassion has not been a traditional characteristic of sport. With its UK roots in 19th-century British public schools and universities, modern sport developed as way of creating strong military leaders, training them to develop adaptability defined in those times by iron will and biting the bullet. Fear and harsh criticism were crucial to toughening up players and soldiers alike. The “tough guy” narrative was strengthened by 20th-century media stereotypes and Hollywood’s heroes and became rooted into sport and society.
I’ve heard countless stories like the popular culture I found when I joined the Olympic rowing team in the mid-1990s. We were expected to suffer after mistakes or losses to show that we truly cared, and everyone believed coaches needed to be severe and unforgiving to get results. These approaches still exist. But an alternative approach with compassion at its center addresses aims of performance and wellbeing for those with greater ambitions.
This isn’t some soft option which plays down hard work, as supporters of the earlier traditional sporting mindset might criticize. Research across branches of psychology — behavioral, sports, positive — shows how compassion creates the strongest foundation for adaptability and sustained performance under pressure whether in sport, the military, healthcare or business. Rather than activating our threat system which began to help us survive way back, compassion helps us to feel safe and protected, leaving us free to learn, connect with others and start exploring what we’re capable of.
The continuous need to improve performance has led top coaches to appreciate that high performance requires levels of support to match the level of challenge. When you provide that, players start thriving while striving to achieve more. Rooted in compassion, a different coach-athlete relationship thus develops.
The dictionary definition of compassion includes the recognition of another’s suffering and the desire and support to relieve it. Compassion has been shown to decrease fear of failure and increase the likelihood of trying again when failure does happen. But how many talented athletes experience that depth of support in moments of crisis and failure?
12. What does the underlined phrase “biting the bullet” in paragraph one mean?
A. Commitment. B. Ambition. C. Suffering. D. Toughness.
13. Why is the example of rowing team mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. To arouse people’s interest about rowing.
B. To recall a painful training experience.
C. To draw a distinction between training approaches.
D. To bring out a compassion-centered training approach.
14. What does the paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Criticism about the compassion. B. Necessity of employing compassion.
C. Characteristics about the compassion. D. Fields that compassion is involved in.
15. What would the author possibly agree?
A. The media is active in developing tough training style.
B. Extraordinary athletes rarely received enough support.
C. The compassion-centered training is widely used in sports.
D. Compassion means more openness to failure and less training.

Tremblay grew up in a small town in New Hampshire. There wasn’t a lot of expectation of girls doing much outside of home. But she was a naturally very curious child. Throughout high school, learning was hard for her most of the time. But math was always fairly easy, and she enjoyed chemistry.
Tremblay decided to study business and accounting in college. It seemed logical, but she really wasn’t sure what she’d do with it. Her roommate was studying chemistry, and she found herself helping her with her homework. Her roommate and friends eventually convinced her to study chemistry instead.
Tremblay started volunteering for university projects to learn from teachers. That helped her figure out how to become a radio astronomer. In 2016, she got into a doctoral program for physics and astronomy in Australia. During her program, Tremblay and her team were using a brand-new radio telescope in Western Australia. In high school and her first years in college, she had great difficulty with physics. So it’s really funny that she ended up with a Ph. D. in the subject. At some point in the learning process, things just started to click.
“The career you decide on now doesn’t have to be what you do later. You can change your mind and switch paths.” Tremblay said in a speech for young students. “You can explore what you find interesting about the world.”
4. What does Chenoa Tremblay mainly study as a radio astronomer?
A. The structure of stars in the universe.
B. The design of advanced radio telescopes.
C. The molecules in the gas layers around stars.
D. Mathematical models for analyzing signals.
5. Why did Tremblay change her major in college?
A. She found business and accounting too difficult.
B. Her parents advised her to change her major.
C. She wished to pursue astronomy much earlier.
D. Her roommate and friends finally persuaded her.
6. What can be concluded about Tremblay’s learning of physics?
A. She was always quite good at physics. B. She struggled first but succeeded finally.
C. She never liked it and avoided learning it. D. She found it easier than her math studies.
7. Which can best describe Tremblay’s career path?

Could birds hold the key to making airplanes safer and more efficient? At Princeton University, scientists believe the answer is yes. Inspired by birds, aerospace engineer Aimy Wissa and her team developed special flaps (襟翼) that move freely along aircraft wings. Much like tiny feathers, these flaps help planes to reduce fuel consumption, and prevent dangerous stalls (失速)。
It was from watching gannets, a type of seabird, that this idea first emerged. When flying through strong winds, these birds’ small feathers pop up, adjusting airflow and maintaining stability. What if airplanes could do the same? Wissa and her team sought to answer this question by attaching flexible plastic flaps to a remote-controlled aircraft. The results? Remarkable. Not only did the flaps reduce drag by 31% and increase lift by 45%, but they also made stalls occur more gradually, improving flight safety.
Unlike traditional wing flaps, which require mechanical systems to function, these new flaps respond naturally to air currents. As airflow changes, they adjust automatically — just like a bird’s feathers. With extreme weather becoming more frequent due to climate change, such a design could make airplanes more adaptable.
Nature has long driven engineering innovation. From da Vinci’s bird-like flying machines to Lilienthal’s studies of bird flight, early pioneers in flight technology drew inspiration from nature. Yet, as technology advances, engineers are distancing themselves from nature-inspired designs, thinking they have moved beyond them. But have they? Wissa’s research proves nature still holds valuable lessons, with biological solutions reshaping modern air travel.
Will these flaps appear on commercial airplanes soon? Some experts say it remains uncertain. Just as it took decades for shark-skin-inspired aircraft surfaces to reach the market, this innovation will also face challenges before large-scale adoption. However, smaller aircraft — such as urban air taxis, and short-distance planes — may adopt this technology much sooner. For millions of years, birds have mastered the skies. If engineers continue to learn from nature, then the future of flight may be reshaped in ways once thought impossible.
8. What pushed Aimy Wissa to carry out the research?
A. Her interest in aircraft. B. Her observation of a bird.
C. The frequency of dangerous stalls. D. The concern over fuel consumption.
9. What is the significance of Wissa’s research?
A. It has revealed da Vinci’s idea. B. It has innovated operating systems.
C. It has proved the potential of nature. D. It has offered a solution to air currents.
10. What’s the author’s attitude to the prospect of the technology?
A. Uncaring. B. Worried. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Inspired by Lilienthal: A New Era of Flight B. Learning from Birds: A Flight Revolution
C. Could Nature Advance Technology? D. Could Flaps Enhance Flight Safety?
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B

Compassion has not been a traditional characteristic of sport. With its UK roots in 19th-century British public schools and universities, modern sport developed as way of creating strong military leaders, training them to develop adaptability defined in those times by iron will and biting the bullet. Fear and harsh criticism were crucial to toughening up players and soldiers alike. The “tough guy” narrative was strengthened by 20th-century media stereotypes and Hollywood’s heroes and became rooted into sport and society.
I’ve heard countless stories like the popular culture I found when I joined the Olympic rowing team in the mid-1990s. We were expected to suffer after mistakes or losses to show that we truly cared, and everyone believed coaches needed to be severe and unforgiving to get results. These approaches still exist. But an alternative approach with compassion at its center addresses aims of performance and wellbeing for those with greater ambitions.
This isn’t some soft option which plays down hard work, as supporters of the earlier traditional sporting mindset might criticize. Research across branches of psychology — behavioral, sports, positive — shows how compassion creates the strongest foundation for adaptability and sustained performance under pressure whether in sport, the military, healthcare or business. Rather than activating our threat system which began to help us survive way back, compassion helps us to feel safe and protected, leaving us free to learn, connect with others and start exploring what we’re capable of.
The continuous need to improve performance has led top coaches to appreciate that high performance requires levels of support to match the level of challenge. When you provide that, players start thriving while striving to achieve more. Rooted in compassion, a different coach-athlete relationship thus develops.
The dictionary definition of compassion includes the recognition of another’s suffering and the desire and support to relieve it. Compassion has been shown to decrease fear of failure and increase the likelihood of trying again when failure does happen. But how many talented athletes experience that depth of support in moments of crisis and failure?
12. What does the underlined phrase “biting the bullet” in paragraph one mean?
A. Commitment. B. Ambition. C. Suffering. D. Toughness.
13. Why is the example of rowing team mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. To arouse people’s interest about rowing.
B. To recall a painful training experience.
C. To draw a distinction between training approaches.
D. To bring out a compassion-centered training approach.
14. What does the paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Criticism about the compassion. B. Necessity of employing compassion.
C. Characteristics about the compassion. D. Fields that compassion is involved in.
15. What would the author possibly agree?
A. The media is active in developing tough training style.
B. Extraordinary athletes rarely received enough support.
C. The compassion-centered training is widely used in sports.
D. Compassion means more openness to failure and less training.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要论述了以同情为中心的训练方法的起源及在体育界的应用和其优势。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Compassion has not been a traditional characteristic of sport. With its UK roots in 19th-century British public schools and universities, modern sport developed as way of creating strong military leaders, training them to develop adaptability defined in those times by iron will and...”(同情心并不是体育运动的传统特征。现代体育起源于19世纪的英国公立学校和大学,作为培养强大军事领袖的一种方式而发展起来,训练他们发展适应能力,在那个时代,这种适应能力是由钢铁般的意志和……所定义的。)及最后一句“The “tough guy” narrative was strengthened by 20th-century media stereotypes and Hollywood’s heroes and became rooted into sport and society.”(“硬汉”的叙事被20世纪媒体的刻板印象和好莱坞的英雄所强化,并扎根于体育和社会。)可知,钢铁般的意志和“biting the bullet”是早期军事领袖适应性强的一个特征,是一种硬汉形象的精神特征,故可以推测“biting the bullet”指坚韧不拔的精神,与前文“iron will”含义一致。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“We were expected to suffer after mistakes or losses to show that we truly cared, and everyone believed coaches needed to be severe and unforgiving to get results. These approaches still exist. But an alternative approach with compassion at its center addresses aims of performance and wellbeing for those with greater ambitions.”(我们被期望在犯错或输球后承受痛苦,以表明我们真的在乎,每个人都认为教练需要严厉和无情才能取得成绩。这些方法仍然存在。但另一种以同情为中心的方法,使那些有更大抱负的人实现了优秀的表现和幸福的目标。)可知,作者提到赛艇队的例子说明了当时以严厉和批评为主的训练方法,从而引出同情为中心的方法,说明这种方法更有优势,能实现更大的抱负。故选D项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Research across branches of psychology — behavioral, sports, positive — shows how compassion creates the strongest foundation for adaptability and sustained performance under pressure whether in sport, the military, healthcare or business. Rather than activating our threat system which began to help us survive way back, compassion helps us to feel safe and protected, leaving us free to learn, connect with others and start exploring what we’re capable of.”(跨心理学分支——行为、体育、积极心理学——研究表明,无论是在体育、军事、医疗还是商业领域,同情心都为适应压力和持续表现创造最坚实的基础。它不是激活帮助我们生存下去的威胁系统,相反,同情帮助我们感到安全和保护,让我们自由地学习,与他人联系,并开始探索我们的能力。)可知,本段主要论述了同情心对我们的重要作用,即应用同情心的重要性。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Compassion has been shown to decrease fear of failure and increase the likelihood of trying again when failure does happen. But how many talented athletes experience that depth of support in moments of crisis and failure?”(同情心已经被证明可以减少对失败的恐惧,并在失败发生时增加再次尝试的可能性。但有多少天才运动员能在危机和失败的时刻得到如此深度的支持呢?)可知,同情心对运动员有好处,根据“but”转折可知,作者认为并没有多少杰出的运动员在面对失败和危机时能获得这样的支持。故选B项。

People have been painting and writing on walls throughout history. In prehistoric times, people in Africa and Europe used to paint pictures of animals and people in caves. ____16____. In the Roman town of Pompeii, archaeologists have found numerous examples of graffiti written in Latin. These include religious, political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells.
In the late twentieth century, graffiti and street art became an international phenomenon. In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or “tags”, on walls around the city. One of the first taggers was Demetrius. At first, he wrote his tag on walls in his neighborhood. Then he started tagging in subway stations on the way to and from school. When the subway train stopped at a station, he would jump off, write his tag on the wall and then jump back on before the doors closed. Other teenagers noticed Demetrius’s tag and started to write their own. ____17____.
But is graffiti art or damage? American artist Elura Emerald organized a street art exhibition at a New York Gallery in 2008. “Street artists and artists who paint on the street are merely expressing themselves, not hurting anyone. ____18____.” she defended.
____19____. In many countries, writing or painting on public or private property is considered illegal. Many street artists have been stopped by the police and some have had to pay fines. Many city councils complain about the high cost of cleaning graffiti off buildings, buses and trains.
However, some countries take a more tolerant attitude. In some countries, councils have tried to encourage artists not to paint randomly on walls by allowing them to work in specific areas. ____20____.
A. Policies also vary from region to region
B. They should be appreciated and celebrated
C. There are exhibitions of street art in major cities such as Paris
D. The city’s walls, buses and subway trains were covered with tags soon

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了重庆网名叫做呆呆的女孩发帖邀请网友帮父亲杀猪过春节,意外引发大量网友前往参与,成为全网热议的热点事件,当地文旅部门评价该事件唤起了网友的乡愁与难忘的童年回忆。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:重庆一位网名叫做呆呆的女孩发起的“杀猪宴”引发了一场巨大的热潮,她邀请网友帮父亲杀猪过春节,引发了席卷全网的“情感海啸”。修饰名词enthusiasm,用形容词massive“巨大的,(规模)非常大的””。故填massive。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。动词nickname“给……起绰号”作非谓语动词,修饰名词a girl,a girl与动词nickname是逻辑上的被动关系,用过去分词作后置定语。故填nicknamed。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:有人愿意帮忙按住猪吗?lend a hand是固定短语,意为 “帮忙,搭把手”,符合语境。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:在呆呆在社交媒体发帖后,高峰期有超过3000人涌到她家帮忙,网友们被吸引而来,感受这浓浓的节日氛围。动词draw在并列分句中作谓语动词,结合上文“flocked”以及句意,此句描述过去的事情,用一般过去时态,主语netizens为复数,与动词draw构成被动关系,用一般过去时的被动语态,谓语用were drawn。故填were drawn。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:当地的文旅、治安以及其他部门迅速派出人员维持秩序,而网友们则自发送来物资,并帮忙做饭、上菜。修饰动词sent和helped,用副词voluntarily“自愿地,主动地,无偿地”作状语。故填voluntarily。
【41题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:1月13日,当地文化和旅游发展委员会发布消息称,此次活动共宰杀了五头猪,游客人数超过了5000人。此空引导同位语从句,解释说明名词information的具体内容,从句结构和语义完整,不缺少成分,用连接词that引导。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1月13日,当地文化和旅游发展委员会发布消息称,此次活动共宰杀了五头猪,游客人数超过了5000人。此处是with的复合结构“with +宾语+宾语补足语”,宾语the number of tourists与动词exceed是逻辑上的主动关系,用现在分词exceeding作宾语补足语。故填exceeding。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:在评论这一走红现象时,该委员会一位负责人表示,正是这一简单的邀请,在全网引发了全国性的思乡情怀。comment on sth是固定短语,意为“评论、谈论某事”。故填on。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:在评论这一走红现象时,该委员会一位负责人表示,正是这一简单的邀请,在全网引发了全国性的思乡情怀。作表语,前有冠词a,invite是动词,此空填其名词形式invitation“邀请”,冠词a提示用单数形式。故填invitation。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:大家吃的不只是杀猪饭,更是再也回不去的童年记忆。not just...but (also)... 是固定句型,意为“不仅……而且……,不只是……而且是……”,连接并列名词短语“the pig-slaughter meal”以及“the childhood memories”,作表语。故填but。
