Many parents do not understand why their teens occasionally behave in a dangerous way. At times, it seems like teens don’t think things through or fully consider the results of their actions. Teens differ from adults in the way they behave, solve problems, and make decisions. There is a biological explanation for this difference. Studies show that brains continue to develop throughout childhood and teenage years and well into early adulthood.
Scientists have confirmed (确认) a specific area of the brain called the amygdala that is responsible for immediate reactions, including fear and aggressive behavior. This area develops early. However, the frontal cortex, the area of the brain that helps people think carefully, control behavior, and make wise decisions, develops later. Unlike the amygdala, the frontal cortex is not fully mature (成熟) until adulthood.
Other changes in the brain during teenage years include a rapid increase in the connections between the brain cells, making the brain pathways more effective. Nerve cells develop myelin, which helps cells communicate. All these changes are important for the development of coordinated (协调的) thought, action, and behavior.
Pictures of the brain in action show that teens’ brains work differently from adults’ when they make decisions or solve problems. Their actions are guided more by the emotional and reactive amygdala and less by the thoughtful, logical frontal cortex. Studies also indicate that drinking alcohol during the teenage years can change or delay these developments.
These brain differences don’t mean that young people can’t make good decisions or tell the difference between right and wrong. It also doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be held responsible for their actions. However, an awareness of these differences can help parents, teachers, and others understand and manage the behavior of teens during this important stage of growth.
4. Why do teens often act differently from adults according to the text?
A. Their brains are still developing.
B. Their amygdala is easier to control.
C. They badly need life experience.
D. They are more influenced by others.
5. What do we know about the frontal cortex?
A. It leads to quick emotional reactions.
B. It matures late and controls reasoning.
C. It is completely formed in childhood.
D. It works mainly with body movements.
6. Studies show that teens’ decision-making is more impacted by ________.
A. their actions B. learned knowledge
C. their feelings D. long-term planning
7. What does the author expect parents and teachers to do?
A. Force teens to behave well. B. Treat teens’ mistakes lightly.
C. Document important events. D. Understand and guide teens.
C
Fast-moving birds like goshawks can fly quickly through thick forests without hitting trees. They seem to avoid danger naturally while moving at high speed. However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered that there is a speed limit. If birds or drones (无人机) go faster than this limit, a crash is unavoidable. The finding may help scientists design better unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by learning from how birds fly.
Most UAVs are currently designed to fly at relatively slow speed, allowing them to stop before reaching the edge of their field of view. You might think that adding more sensors would allow drones to fly faster and safer, but MIT aerospace engineer Emilio Frazzoli says otherwise.
Frazzoli and his team created a mathematical model that shows a bird or drone flying through crowded spaces, such as forests or cities, will always crash once it reaches a certain speed, no matter how much it knows about its surroundings.
The team believes that birds avoid this problem by judging the density (密度) of their environment and changing their speed accordingly, knowing that they can always find a gap to fly through. This allows a bird to fly much faster than if it just depends on the limits of its vision. Frazzoli says that skiers use a similar method.
“When you go skiing off the path, you don’t ski in a way that you can always stop before the first tree you see,” he says. “You ski and you see an opening, and then you trust that once you go there, you’ll be able to see another opening and keep going.”
Frazzoli is now working with biologists at Harvard University to confirm whether his model matches the behaviour of real birds. His team is also designing a flying video game to test how well humans can move through a virtual forest at high speed, to see how close players can get to the theoretical limit predicted (预测) by the model.
8. Why are most UAVs designed to fly at low speed at present?
A. To stop safely within their view. B. To avoid losing signals in forests.
C. To reduce damage from crashes. D. To save power during long flights.
9. How are birds able to fly faster in dense forests?
A. They can see blocks earlier than most machines.
B. They depend on sharper eyesight than machines.
C. They adjust speed based on the space around them.
D. They follow the fixed paths between towering trees.
10. Why does Frazzoli mention skiing in paragraph 5?
A. To compare skiing skills with bird flight. B. To describe dangers while skiing off paths.
C. To present a popular sports event in winter. D. To give an example of safe fast movement.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Birds Teach Us How to Get a Sense of Direction B. Speed Limit for Birds Could Mean Better UAVs
C. Advanced UAVs Will Come on the Market Soon D. Flying Video Games Help Test Human Reactions
D
Mars once had a thick, warm air rich in carbon dioxide (CO2), but that carbon has been trapped in its rocks for thousands of years. That’s the story shown by a hidden secret of carbon-bearing minerals unearthed by NASA’s Curiosity rover (探测器) along its route up a Martian mountain. This finding gives us the first clear proof of a carbon cycle on Mars, and shows why the planet’s life-friendly climate disappeared.
Long ago, Mars had abundant water and a warm climate, supported by a thick CO2 atmosphere. But today, the planet is a cold, dry desert with almost no atmosphere. Scientists long wondered where all that CO2 went. Geochemist Benjamin Tutolo and his team thought it must be locked in carbonate (碳酸盐) minerals, but previous searches hadn’t found enough to explain the loss.
In 2022 and 2023, Curiosity drove across a region where the rocks change from soft, wet clay — marking the great drying of Mars. The rover drilled four samples (样品) from different rocks and used its onboard lab to study them. The research team identified siderite, a carbonate mineral that forms when water, rock and heat interact and then dry out. Each sample held between 5 and 10 percent siderite by weight-much more than expected. “We found it here, for the first time,” Tutolo said, “That’s the main point that makes this cool here. This discovery brings us much closer to solving the carbon mystery.”
This work provides a great explanation for how Mars could once support rivers and lakes, yet later lost its warm air. Looking ahead, scientists hope to match orbital data with ground findings and, finally, return samples to Earth for further research. In the meantime, Curiosity’s discovery shines a bright new light on Mars’ change from a habitable world to the dry desert we see today.
12. Where is the carbon that once kept Mars warm according to the text?
A. It has been locked in Mars’ rocks.
B. It has escaped into the atmosphere.
C. It is trapped in the lakes and rivers.
D. It is drawn by a sea of burning sands.
13. Which best explains the underlined word “abundant” in paragraph 2?
A. Salty. B. Dirty.
C. Plentiful. D. Drinkable.
14. How did Tutolo feel about the discovery?
A. Worried. B. Excited.
C. Doubtful. D. Regretful.
15. What can be learned about the discovery?
A. It mismatches these ground findings.
B. It accounts for climate change on our planet.
C. It brings us closer to solving energy problems.
D. It might explain why Mars lost its habitable climate.

Nine-year-old Kenneth sat at his small desk, staring at a picture of a barren (贫瘠的) forest. That day, his teacher, Mr. Davis, had shown the class a documentary (纪录片) about climate change. Kenneth’s heart ached. He raised his hand and said in a trembling yet clear voice, “Mr. Davis, what if we plant trees? A lot of trees?”
Mr. Davis smiled warmly, “That’s a wonderful idea, Kenneth. Why don’t you share it with everyone?”
Encouraged, Kenneth stood in front of the class the next day. He spoke about his dream — creating a greener and healthier planet. “Let’s start by planting one right around our school — we can call it One Tree Project!” he said, holding up a sapling (树苗) from his backyard. His classmates were doubtful. “It’s just one tree,” one boy said. “And will it change anything?”
But Kenneth didn’t give up. After school, he and his best friend, Mia, planted the sapling on the school grounds. They watered it carefully and promised to protect it.
Weeks passed. The sapling grew stronger. One morning, the school principal called Kenneth to her office. A local newspaper had heard about his One Tree Project and wanted to write a story. Kenneth was nervous but excited. When the reporter asked, “What’s your big goal, young man?” Kenneth replied, “I want to plant a million trees!” The story was published the next day.

Many parents do not understand why their teens occasionally behave in a dangerous way. At times, it seems like teens don’t think things through or fully consider the results of their actions. Teens differ from adults in the way they behave, solve problems, and make decisions. There is a biological explanation for this difference. Studies show that brains continue to develop throughout childhood and teenage years and well into early adulthood.
Scientists have confirmed (确认) a specific area of the brain called the amygdala that is responsible for immediate reactions, including fear and aggressive behavior. This area develops early. However, the frontal cortex, the area of the brain that helps people think carefully, control behavior, and make wise decisions, develops later. Unlike the amygdala, the frontal cortex is not fully mature (成熟) until adulthood.
Other changes in the brain during teenage years include a rapid increase in the connections between the brain cells, making the brain pathways more effective. Nerve cells develop myelin, which helps cells communicate. All these changes are important for the development of coordinated (协调的) thought, action, and behavior.
Pictures of the brain in action show that teens’ brains work differently from adults’ when they make decisions or solve problems. Their actions are guided more by the emotional and reactive amygdala and less by the thoughtful, logical frontal cortex. Studies also indicate that drinking alcohol during the teenage years can change or delay these developments.
These brain differences don’t mean that young people can’t make good decisions or tell the difference between right and wrong. It also doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be held responsible for their actions. However, an awareness of these differences can help parents, teachers, and others understand and manage the behavior of teens during this important stage of growth.
4. Why do teens often act differently from adults according to the text?
A. Their brains are still developing.
B. Their amygdala is easier to control.
C. They badly need life experience.
D. They are more influenced by others.
5. What do we know about the frontal cortex?
A. It leads to quick emotional reactions.
B. It matures late and controls reasoning.
C. It is completely formed in childhood.
D. It works mainly with body movements.
6. Studies show that teens’ decision-making is more impacted by ________.
A. their actions B. learned knowledge
C. their feelings D. long-term planning
7. What does the author expect parents and teachers to do?
A. Force teens to behave well. B. Treat teens’ mistakes lightly.
C. Document important events. D. Understand and guide teens.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D

Fast-moving birds like goshawks can fly quickly through thick forests without hitting trees. They seem to avoid danger naturally while moving at high speed. However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered that there is a speed limit. If birds or drones (无人机) go faster than this limit, a crash is unavoidable. The finding may help scientists design better unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by learning from how birds fly.
Most UAVs are currently designed to fly at relatively slow speed, allowing them to stop before reaching the edge of their field of view. You might think that adding more sensors would allow drones to fly faster and safer, but MIT aerospace engineer Emilio Frazzoli says otherwise.
Frazzoli and his team created a mathematical model that shows a bird or drone flying through crowded spaces, such as forests or cities, will always crash once it reaches a certain speed, no matter how much it knows about its surroundings.
The team believes that birds avoid this problem by judging the density (密度) of their environment and changing their speed accordingly, knowing that they can always find a gap to fly through. This allows a bird to fly much faster than if it just depends on the limits of its vision. Frazzoli says that skiers use a similar method.
“When you go skiing off the path, you don’t ski in a way that you can always stop before the first tree you see,” he says. “You ski and you see an opening, and then you trust that once you go there, you’ll be able to see another opening and keep going.”
Frazzoli is now working with biologists at Harvard University to confirm whether his model matches the behaviour of real birds. His team is also designing a flying video game to test how well humans can move through a virtual forest at high speed, to see how close players can get to the theoretical limit predicted (预测) by the model.
8. Why are most UAVs designed to fly at low speed at present?
A. To stop safely within their view. B. To avoid losing signals in forests.
C. To reduce damage from crashes. D. To save power during long flights.
9. How are birds able to fly faster in dense forests?
A. They can see blocks earlier than most machines.
B. They depend on sharper eyesight than machines.
C. They adjust speed based on the space around them.
D. They follow the fixed paths between towering trees.
10. Why does Frazzoli mention skiing in paragraph 5?
A. To compare skiing skills with bird flight. B. To describe dangers while skiing off paths.
C. To present a popular sports event in winter. D. To give an example of safe fast movement.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Birds Teach Us How to Get a Sense of Direction B. Speed Limit for Birds Could Mean Better UAVs
C. Advanced UAVs Will Come on the Market Soon D. Flying Video Games Help Test Human Reactions
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍麻省理工学院研究发现鸟类安全飞行存在一个速度极限,这一发现可以帮助科学家改进无人机设计。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Most UAVs are currently designed to fly at relatively slow speed, allowing them to stop before reaching the edge of their field of view.(目前大多数无人机的设计飞行速度相对较慢,这样它们能够在到达视野边缘之前停下来)”可知,目前无人机设计成低速是为了能在自身视野范围内安全停下,故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The team believes that birds avoid this problem by judging the density (密度) of their environment and changing their speed accordingly, knowing that they can always find a gap to fly through. This allows a bird to fly much faster than if it just depends on the limits of its vision.(该团队认为,鸟类通过判断其环境的密度并相应地改变飞行速度来避免这个问题,它们知道总能找到一个缝隙飞过去。这使得鸟类能够飞行得比仅仅依靠其视觉极限时更快)”可知,鸟类通过判断环境密度、根据周围空间调整速度来实现在密林中快速飞行,故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。第四段介绍了鸟类快速安全飞行的方法,最后一句“Frazzoli says that skiers use a similar method.(Frazzoli表示,滑雪者也使用了类似的方法)”提到滑雪者也采用类似的方法,第五段““When you go skiing off the path, you don’t ski in a way that you can always stop before the first tree you see,” he says. “You ski and you see an opening, and then you trust that once you go there, you’ll be able to see another opening and keep going.”(“当你从固定路线偏离出去滑雪时,你不会以一种总能在看到第一棵树之前停下来的方式滑雪,”他说,“你滑雪,看到一个空隙,然后就相信一旦你进入那个空隙,就能看到另一个空隙,并继续前行。”)”可知,提到滑雪是对上文“安全快速移动”方法的举例说明,故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“If birds or drones (无人机) go faster than this limit, a crash is unavoidable. The finding may help scientists design better unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by learning from how birds fly.(如果鸟类或无人机的速度超过这个限制,就会不可避免地发生碰撞。这一发现可能有助于科学家从鸟类的飞行方式中汲取经验,设计出更出色的无人驾驶飞行器)”可知,全文围绕“麻省理工学院研究发现鸟类安全飞行存在一个速度极限,这一发现可以帮助科学家改进无人机设计”展开,B选项“鸟类的飞行速度极限或可助力研发更好的无人机”准确概括主旨,故选B。
D
Mars once had a thick, warm air rich in carbon dioxide (CO2), but that carbon has been trapped in its rocks for thousands of years. That’s the story shown by a hidden secret of carbon-bearing minerals unearthed by NASA’s Curiosity rover (探测器) along its route up a Martian mountain. This finding gives us the first clear proof of a carbon cycle on Mars, and shows why the planet’s life-friendly climate disappeared.
Long ago, Mars had abundant water and a warm climate, supported by a thick CO2 atmosphere. But today, the planet is a cold, dry desert with almost no atmosphere. Scientists long wondered where all that CO2 went. Geochemist Benjamin Tutolo and his team thought it must be locked in carbonate (碳酸盐) minerals, but previous searches hadn’t found enough to explain the loss.
In 2022 and 2023, Curiosity drove across a region where the rocks change from soft, wet clay — marking the great drying of Mars. The rover drilled four samples (样品) from different rocks and used its onboard lab to study them. The research team identified siderite, a carbonate mineral that forms when water, rock and heat interact and then dry out. Each sample held between 5 and 10 percent siderite by weight-much more than expected. “We found it here, for the first time,” Tutolo said, “That’s the main point that makes this cool here. This discovery brings us much closer to solving the carbon mystery.”
This work provides a great explanation for how Mars could once support rivers and lakes, yet later lost its warm air. Looking ahead, scientists hope to match orbital data with ground findings and, finally, return samples to Earth for further research. In the meantime, Curiosity’s discovery shines a bright new light on Mars’ change from a habitable world to the dry desert we see today.
12. Where is the carbon that once kept Mars warm according to the text?
A. It has been locked in Mars’ rocks.
B. It has escaped into the atmosphere.
C. It is trapped in the lakes and rivers.
D. It is drawn by a sea of burning sands.
13. Which best explains the underlined word “abundant” in paragraph 2?
A. Salty. B. Dirty.
C. Plentiful. D. Drinkable.
14. How did Tutolo feel about the discovery?
A. Worried. B. Excited.
C. Doubtful. D. Regretful.
15. What can be learned about the discovery?
A. It mismatches these ground findings.
B. It accounts for climate change on our planet.
C. It brings us closer to solving energy problems.
D. It might explain why Mars lost its habitable climate.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了火星曾经拥有富含二氧化碳的温暖大气层,但碳元素被锁在岩石中导致气候变冷,以及好奇号探测器发现含碳矿物siderite,揭示了火星碳循环和气候变化的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Mars once had a thick, warm air rich in carbon dioxide (CO2), but that carbon has been trapped in its rocks for thousands of years.(火星曾经有富含二氧化碳(CO2)的厚而温暖的空气,但这些碳已经被困在岩石中数千年了。)”可知,曾经使火星保持温暖的碳被锁定在火星的岩石中。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文的转折“But today, the planet is a cold, dry desert with almost no atmosphere.(但今天,这颗行星是一个寒冷干燥的沙漠,几乎没有大气层。)”可知,原来火星上的气候肯定是温暖的且有大量的水,所以划线单词abundant的意义为“大量的;充足的”,与plentiful意义一致。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“That’s the main point that makes this cool here. This discovery brings us much closer to solving the carbon mystery.(这正是让这个发现很酷的地方。这个发现让我们更接近解决碳谜团。)”可推知,Tutolo的语气积极且充满热情,表明他感到兴奋。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This work provides a great explanation for how Mars could once support rivers and lakes, yet later lost its warm air.(这项研究很好地解释了为什么火星曾经有过河流和湖泊,但后来失去了温暖的空气。)”可知,这一发现有助于解释火星为何失去了其宜居的气候。故选D项。

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。
Nine-year-old Kenneth sat at his small desk, staring at a picture of a barren (贫瘠的) forest. That day, his teacher, Mr. Davis, had shown the class a documentary (纪录片) about climate change. Kenneth’s heart ached. He raised his hand and said in a trembling yet clear voice, “Mr. Davis, what if we plant trees? A lot of trees?”
Mr. Davis smiled warmly, “That’s a wonderful idea, Kenneth. Why don’t you share it with everyone?”
Encouraged, Kenneth stood in front of the class the next day. He spoke about his dream — creating a greener and healthier planet. “Let’s start by planting one right around our school — we can call it One Tree Project!” he said, holding up a sapling (树苗) from his backyard. His classmates were doubtful. “It’s just one tree,” one boy said. “And will it change anything?”
But Kenneth didn’t give up. After school, he and his best friend, Mia, planted the sapling on the school grounds. They watered it carefully and promised to protect it.
Weeks passed. The sapling grew stronger. One morning, the school principal called Kenneth to her office. A local newspaper had heard about his One Tree Project and wanted to write a story. Kenneth was nervous but excited. When the reporter asked, “What’s your big goal, young man?” Kenneth replied, “I want to plant a million trees!” The story was published the next day.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The paper showed Kenneth, a sapling in hand, saying: “Boy’s dream: One Tree Project!”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching everyone work together, Kenneth realized something important.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The paper showed Kenneth, a sapling in hand, saying: “Boy’s dream: One Tree Project!” Within days, letters started arriving at the school — from town libraries, local clubs, and even a nearby gardening society. They all said they wanted to help with the One Tree Project. A local nursery even donated 100 young trees. Kenneth’s One Tree Project became the town’s “Community Forest Drive”. On a sunny Saturday, dozens of volunteers — families, and even the once-doubtful classmates — gathered to plant trees in a nearby park.
Watching everyone work together, Kenneth realized something important. It wasn’t just about the number. His one small tree had been a seed in another way — a seed of an idea. It showed that you don’t need to solve everything at once. Every big change starts with one small action, and one person who decides to try. His single sapling hadn’t just taken root in the soil; it had taken root in the hearts of his community, growing into a forest of hope and collective action.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。九岁的Kenneth在看到气候变化的纪录片后心生悲痛,他提出植树的想法,虽遭同学质疑仍不放弃,与好友种下树苗。后此事被当地报纸报道,Kenneth表示要种一百万棵树。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“报纸刊登了Kenneth手持树苗的照片,并配文:“少年的梦想:一树计划!””可知,第一段描写报道刊发后,Kenneth的种树计划获得多方助力,各类机构主动提供帮助,项目升级为社区植树活动,曾经质疑他的同学也加入志愿队伍共同植树。
②由第二段句首内容“看着大家齐心协力劳作,Kenneth领悟到一个重要的道理。”可知,第二段描写Kenneth目睹众人协作后的感悟,点明小事的力量,阐释大改变始于微小行动,升华主旨,凸显小小行动带来的集体力量与希望。
2.续写线索:报道刊登获各界关注 —— 多方助力捐赠树苗 —— 项目升级为社区植树活动 —— 众人齐聚共同植树 —— Kenneth心生感悟 —— 领悟小行动造就大改变
3.词汇激活
行为类
①捐赠:donate/give away/contribute
②聚集:gather/come together/assemble
③解决:solve/settle
情绪类
①曾经怀疑的:once-doubtful/once-questioning/once-skeptical
【点睛】【高分句型1】It showed that you don’t need to solve everything at once. (运用了that引导的宾语从句)
【高分句型2】Every big change starts with one small action, and one person who decides to try. (运用who引导的定语从句)
【高分句型3】 His single sapling hadn’t just taken root in the soil; it had taken root in the hearts of his community, growing into a forest of hope and collective action. (运用了现在分词作状语)
