Picture yourself halfway up a winding trail, lungs burning, legs trembling, the summit still out of sight. You want to stop but you don’t. Something quiet and steady inside keeps you moving. That inner force, psychologists call grit (毅力) — the combination of persistence (坚持) and passion that keeps us going after goals.
A new study from researchers at the China University of Geosciences explored what really develops that quality in young adults — routine workouts in the gym or unpredictable adventures in the wild. Over 1,200 university students took part in a 16–18-week course in either traditional physical education or outdoor education. Their grit levels were measured before and after the courses from two aspects: persistence of effort and consistency of interest. The answer, it turns out, lies somewhere between sweat and scenery.
Both groups improved, but the difference was striking. Outdoor education produced bigger gains across every measure of grit, especially persistence. Students who spent a term facing real-world challenges became mentally stronger. That sense of mastery — “I can handle this” — builds the same kind of grit linked to lower anxiety, better dealing with stress, and greater life satisfaction. In contrast, traditional PE improved students’ persistence but actually reduced their interest consistency — their ability to stay engaged with long-term goals. Repetitive routines, limited autonomy, and predictable settings may weaken curiosity over time. Outdoor education, however, thrives on uncertainty.
Newness doesn’t just keep us entertained; it keeps us engaged. From the perspective of Self-Determination Theory, outdoor programs meet the three psychological needs that fuel motivation: autonomy (you choose how to face challenges), competence (you see progress), and relatedness (you rely on teammates). Together, they create a powerful recipe for inner motivation.
This study shows that the environment we learn in shapes not just our bodies but our minds’ ability to persist.In a world of digital distraction (分心) and instant satisfaction, outdoor education reminds us that grit grows through hardship. For anyone seeking for long-term change, the message is simple: step outside.
1.Which one is most beneficial to the development of grit?
A.Running on the same school track. B.Swimming in a sports center pool.
C.Climbing mountains in a natural park. D.Playing basketball in an indoor stadium.
2.What does the underlined word “thrives” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Focuses. B.Grows. C.Depends. D.Survives.
3.Why is Self-Determination Theory mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To explain outdoor programs’ motivational effect.
B.To analyze the physical benefits of newness in life.
C.To introduce the popularity of outdoor education.
D.To define the key driving factors of motivation.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Grit contributes to the long-term change. B.Outdoor challenges build a tougher mind.
C.Natural scenery improves mental health. D.Routine workouts weaken inner motivation.

If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over a decision when the answer is obvious, now there’s a scientific reason behind it. “The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.
Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (开抗生素) to patients when it's unwise to do so. “Probably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says.
But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and relieving about making someone else’s choice.”
“Getting input from others not only offers a fresh idea and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good,” says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue, they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (现状),” he says. “But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.” In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. “People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.”
“Just because you can make good choices for others doesn’t mean you’ll do the same for yourself,” Polman cautions. “Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves,” he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles.
1.Decision fatigue may cause people to make decisions that are_______________.
A.reasonable B.objective
C.unwise D.smart
2.Which of the following may be made by a person with decision fatigue?
A.A consumer buys a lot of food to prepare for a dinner.
B.A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day.
C.A student plans to finish his math homework in the morning.
D.A physician advises the patient to drink more water after examination.
3.What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in?
A.They stop trying anything new.
B.They adopt a totally new idea.
C.They tend to make risky decisions.
D.They turn to physicians for advice.
4.What does Polman say about taking some risks in decision making?
A.It will often end in regret.
B.It is likely to cause serious consequences.
C.It will enable people to be more creative.
D.It is necessary to achieve successful outcome.

Facial recognition software used to study the social behavior of individual Greylag Geese (灰雁) in Europe will soon be used to monitor another rare geese species, the Cape Baren Goose in South Australia. The technology was used to assess how each bird responds to images of themselves, other mates or partners. Researchers found that it could be used to monitor and record endangered wildlife.
The program tested each goose face with life size 2D images of members of the Greylag Goose flock. With 97% accuracy, each goose face could be correctly assigned within a photo library containing 6,000 possible matches. “Next, the team placed life-sized photos in a grassy field to see whether geese behave differently to each image, which they did,” says Professor Kleindorfer.
It was found that the geese approached the photo of their partners more quickly, gave friendly contact calls and fed for longer. In contrast, when they saw a picture of themselves — a goose they had never seen before — they made angry sounds and took longer to approach food, if they fed at all.
The latest findings into visual cues of individuality not only give insights into the birds’ social structure but illustrate how the software to monitor individual faces or body patterns can be monitored using photographs collected in the field — for animal numbers and movements — in conservation efforts.
“Animal welfare could also be enhanced through the use of photographs in captivity (圈养),” says Dr Colombelli-Negrel. “A photo might reduce the sense of isolation in a social species held in captivity or serve as a ‘soft introduction’ before a new animal is introduced into an enclosure. Perhaps captive individuals in group-living species express reduced anxiety when exposed to a photograph of an unknown and smaller conspecific.”
1.What makes it possible for facial recognition software to monitor animals?
A.Its research on animal behaviors. B.Its ability to identify different faces.
C.Its photo library of Greylag Geese. D.Its advanced tracking technology.
2.What is probably the geese’s reaction to a picture of themselves?
A.Excited. B.Indifferent. C.Aggressive. D.Friendly.
3.What do animal photos do to captive animals?
A.Avoid conflicts between them. B.Provide entertainment for them.
C.Release their negative emotions. D.Introduce species to them.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.How Endangered Animals Can Be Saved.
B.What Difficulties Animal Protection Will Face.
C.How Facial Recognition Benefits Animals.
D.What Photos Can Boost Animals’ Moods.

Academic achievement is a key indicator of adolescents’ development and future potential. While physical activity is known to benefit physical and mental health, its indirect effects on academic performance are less understood. A recent study set out to explore exactly this connection, thus helping schools design better interventions for students.
The study examined over 360 high school students with an average age of 17. Using multiple models, researchers analyzed how physical activity level, exercise duration and types of activity influenced academic performance. Contrary to their expectations, the amount of time students spent exercising showed no significant correlation with their grades. Instead, one specific component stood out as a significant predictor.
That component was explosive strength (爆发力), measured through the countermovement (反向运动) jump test. Students who performed better in this jump test tended to achieve higher academic scores. Statistical analysis revealed that jump performance and age significantly affected the academic performance model, with a p-value of 0.14. Together, these factors explained approximately 9.3% of the variation in academic grades.
What explains this connection? The researchers suggest that explosive strength may indicate overall neurological health and cognitive function. Developing such fitness requires discipline and goal-setting — skills that are transferred directly to academic pursuits. Moreover, biochemical changes associated with improved fitness, such as enhanced blood flow to the brain, may create better conditions for learning. For high school students facing pressure from exams, even 20 minutes of moderate exercise can serve as a reset button for an overwhelmed mind.
This study highlights that improving targeted physical fitness does not distract from academic success, but effectively facilitates it. For students buried in textbooks and papers, this finding offers a scientific basis to take regular short breaks from their desks — not as a way to avoid study responsibilities, but as a practical strategy to promote overall learning efficiency. The most essential implication for senior high school students is that nurturing physical fitness, particularly explosive strength, is not a luxury to be delayed until after exams, but an indispensable part of preparing the mind to meet the toughest academic challenges.
1.What was the unexpected discovery made by the researchers?
A.Multiple components predicted grades.
B.Physical activity level led to high grades.
C.Exercise duration was unrelated to grades.
D.Different sports varied in effects on grades.
2.What does the underlined phrase “reset button” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.A button to restart a machine. B.A method to refresh the mind.
C.A way to get your mind off study. D.A means to relieve physical stress.
3.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.Academic success requires trading exercise for study.
B.Taking breaks reflects weak dedication to schoolwork.
C.Targeted physical training supports academic efforts.
D.Explosive strength alone ensures academic performance.
4.Which of the following is probably the best intervention schools design for students?
A.Organizing Tai Chi workshops. B.Doubling daily jogging time.
C.Offering distance running training. D.Doing standing long jump practice.

In the era of the internet, AI, smart homes and autonomous cars, there’s one thing we just can’t stop producing data. We are expected to generate 394 trillion zettabytes of the stuff every year by 2028, according to the analyst company IDC. Every time we watch a YouTube video, send an email, or ask an AI chatbot a question — data is created. Although data seems invisible, it is processed and housed in physical places — data centers, for which demand is now proving unsatisfiable.
The problem of storing this rapidly growing data has inspired novel solutions. One such approach is “memory crystals,” developed by Peter Kazansky, a researcher from Kyoto University. By burning tiny perforations into the glass, data can be encoded in five dimensions, using differences in light orientation, strength, and spatial position (individual 3D pixels with x, y, z coordinates). This method allows for extremely high density, with up to 360 TB stored on a 5-inch glass disk.
Another promising solution is DNA storage, first proposed by Soviet physicist Mikhail Samoilovich Neiman. In this method, digital data is mapped onto DNA’s four bases (A, T, C, and G), represented as 01, 00, 11, and 10, creating a physical form of data. A favorite line among DNA data storage researchers is that “you could store all of the data in the world in a teaspoon.” But its practical application still faces hurdles, especially in terms of cost and data access efficiency.
Heinis, a professor in data management at Imperial College London, says: “Kazansky’s ‘memory crystals’ is a direct competitor to DNA storage. But DNA might have an edge for we will always be able to read DNA, due to its wide-ranging medical applications. With other technologies, like ‘memory crystals’, the question is how long the read device will be around.”
Of course, solving the long-term data storage problem is an important part of the solution to energy-guzzling data centers. But do we really need all the data that we produce?
1.What problem does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A.The rapid growth of global data production.
B.The rising demand for automated equipment.
C.The efficiency of data-processing technologies.
D.The challenge of storing the ever-growing data.
2.What gives memory crystals their high data density?
A.Heat-resistant glass. B.Computer-controlled drilling.
C.High-intensity light. D.Multi-dimensional encoding.
3.What can be inferred from Heinis’s words?
A.DNA storage has stronger reliability.
B.DNA storage keeps larger data storage capacity.
C.DNA storage owns a wider range of application.
D.DNA storage will soon replace memory crystals.
4.What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A.Reduce data center noise. B.Cut data centers’ energy use.
C.Stop over-storage of data. D.Upgrade storage technology.

In space, astronauts have to learn to live without gravity — whether they’re aboard the International Space Station (ISS) or on a journey to the moon. While space adventurers do experience microgravity conditions beyond Earth, that gravitational influence is so minimal that you can think of it as a virtually weightless environment. But while floating around might sound fun, even simple tasks like holding an object can pose unique challenges. So, scientists have wondered, how does the brain adapt to this kind of lifestyle?
In a new study, researchers from the Université catholique de Louvain and Ikerbasque, the Basque Foundation for Science, explored how astronauts’ brains adapt to weightlessness. The team studied changes in how astronauts grip objects when going from Earth to space and then back to Earth again.
The results were a little stranger than you might expect, and could have serious consequences for future astronaut safety. “What we observed was totally unexpected,” lead author Philippe Lefèvre, a Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Université catholique de Louvain, told Space.com.
The researchers found that months after returning to Earth from space, astronauts had trouble exerting the correct amount of force to properly grip an object. In fact, their brains were so used to gripping weightless objects in space that it took them months back on Earth to readjust. Similarly, the team also found that, while in space, astronauts actually applied more force than necessary to grip objects because their brains still expected the presence of gravity.
Essentially, both during a mission in space and after returning to Earth, astronauts “misinterpret sensory feedback,” Lefèvre said. Living on Earth with the force of gravity, we know that if we let go of an object, both inertia (惯性) and the weight of the object (a combination of mass and gravity) will cause it to fall. In space, only inertia causes objects to move. For instance, simply letting go of an object won’t make it fall, but tapping down on it would have the same visual effect because you’ve added a manual force, but while we might know this intellectually, it turns out that it takes some time for our brains to catch up to our gravity (or gravity-less surroundings).
1.What situation do space travelers experience in the universe?
A.They are faced with the completely gravity-free space.
B.The microgravity conditions beyond Earth are minimal.
C.They had difficulty using the proper amount of force.
D.They are floating in an unreal weightless environment.
2.Why did astronauts in space apply more force than necessary to grip objects?
A.Because objects in space become heavier due to microgravity.
B.Because their brains still expected gravity to be present.
C.Because they were not familiar with the effect of inertia.
D.Because sensory feedback was amplified in space.
3.What aspect is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?
A.Cause and effect B.Comparison and contrast
C.Example and citing D.Highlight and focus
4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Astronauts Learn to Hold Objects in a Weightless Environment
B.Astronauts Face Grip Strength Challenge in Space and on Earth
C.Why Astronauts Use Wrong Grip Force in Space and on Earth
D.The Physics of Inertia and Gravity in Space Confuses Astronauts

The “eureka moment” — that sudden breakthrough insight — is celebrated as the peak of innovation. Yet this story is incomplete: while the initial idea provides crucial energy, it guarantees neither success nor continued forward drive.
Most innovations unfold over time. Ancient Greek scientist Archimedes still had to develop the mathematics and practical tools after his bath-time insight — a process demanding persistence and toughness. Initial inspiration alone cannot sustain long-term progress. We need moments that renew our belief and drive along the way.
This is where the “videmus moment” proves vital. Coined by Swedish author Fredrik Haren from the Latin “we see,” it describes the instant someone else truly grasps your idea and says, “Oh, I see!” That recognition makes innovators feel they are no longer alone. Research shows that supportive peer (同伴) feedback strengthens creative self-belief and sustains idea generation over time, providing a second wave of confidence and drive.
Haren considers the videmus moment as significant as the eureka moment, creating “two peaks” of creative energy rather than just one. He illustrates the videmus moment with a gardening metaphor he calls “idealing” — a mix of “idea” and “seedling (幼苗)”. While an idea’s potential is initially visible only to its planter, like a seed hidden in soil, the moment it emerges and others see it, its possibility expands collectively. This shift from private to shared insight is key for innovation.
Such moments, however, aren’t guaranteed. To invite them, we may need to take intentional action. First, share ideas with the right people — those who understand the field and whose feedback you trust. Second, treat confusion as useful feedback; refine your idea for clarity. Third, communicate simply, allowing others to ask questions rather than flooding them with details. Cultivating (营造) an environment where constructive feedback is welcomed can significantly increase the likelihood of experiencing these validating exchanges.
When seeking feedback, watch out for artificial validation. True videmus moments arise not from close friends and family, but when someone unconnected truly recognizes your idea’s value. These moments of being truly seen often become life’s most meaningful highlights.
1.What does the example of Archimedes serve as?
A.Support for an argument.
B.Historical comparison.
C.Challenge to tradition.
D.Theoretical background.
2.What is the key result of a “videmus moment”?
A.The idea gets protected.
B.The innovator feels seen and motivated.
C.A right partner is found.
D.The work gains public attention.
3.What does the underlined word “validating” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Harmonious. B.Complex.
C.Shallow. D.Appreciative.
4.What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To compare two creative stages.
B.To discuss a need for recognition.
C.To present a way to keep creating.
D.To explain how to seek feedbacks.

Europe is racing to secure minerals for its clean energy future. Lithium (锂) and copper are essential for electric vehicle batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines. Under its Critical Raw Materials Act, the EU has named 23 mining projects as “strategic”, aiming to produce 10% of its annual critical raw material needs domestically by 2030.
But there is a hidden cost to this ambition. A new investigation reveals that over half of these strategic mining projects are located within one kilometer of protected Natura 2000 sites — Europe’s most important network of nature reserves.
In Spain, the Mina Doade lithium project sits less than a kilometer from protected Atlantic heathlands — home to endangered species like the Iberian wolf. Local residents have fiercely opposed it. “They say lithium is strategic — but for us, water is strategic,” said one forestry worker. In Finnish Lapland, the Sakatti mining project, which aims to extract (提取) copper and nickel, partially overlaps with the Viiankiaapa wetland reserve. Finland’s state land manager has warned that the project’s environmental assessment failed to resolve uncertainties about potential impacts on groundwater. Globally, a 2024 study found that 71% of transition-linked mines are located in ecologically sensitive areas.
This exposes a fundamental contradiction. The very technologies designed to combat climate change may end up destroying the biodiversity we also seek to protect. Environmentalists warn that Europe is lowering its guard. The Critical Raw Materials Act expedites permits for strategic projects, potentially going around the strict protections that Natura 2000 sites normally enjoy. “In the name of climate goals, we are cutting environmental standards that protect both nature and people,” said a legal advisor at Friends of the Earth.
The path forward is not to abandon the green transition, but to pursue it more thoughtfully. This means prioritizing recycling over new mining, ensuring strict environmental assessments, and recognizing that the cheapest option for clean energy may come at too high a cost for nature.
1.What does the author try to illustrate in the first two paragraphs?
A.The shortage of skilled workers for mining.
B.The high cost of extracting lithium and copper.
C.The EU’s reliance on imports of its raw materials.
D.The potential threat of mining to the environment.
2.Why does the author mention Spain and Finland in Paragraph 3?
A.To reveal assessment issues. B.To show the local opposition.
C.To illustrate mining-nature conflicts. D.To highlight environmental protection.
3.What does the underlined word “expedites” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Speeds up. B.Slows down. C.Takes away. D.Sets aside.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Whose duty? B.Who to blame?
C.What’s the dilemma? D.How to solve?

In his book Speed: How it Explains the World, Vaclav Smil explores the concept of speed, which humans have long regarded as impressive, magical and highly desirable. He interprets speed from two aspects: the physical rate at which objects move within a certain time and a broader measure of changes in individuals, groups and social systems. Adopting a data-based approach, the book covers a wide range of topics, from natural events including volcanoes and species evolution to human creations such as traditional sailing ships and modern supercomputers.
Technological innovations, especially the replacement of animal power with steam and electric power, have greatly raised the pace of life and production. Faster transportation, more efficient production and extraordinary economic growth have taken place worldwide. People’s average life expectancy has increased greatly, and advanced technology makes rapid medical progress possible.
Nevertheless, the uncontrolled desire for speed brings obvious disadvantages. High work pressure caused by extreme efficiency leads to more accidents in workplaces like factories and warehouses. Higher driving speed sharply increases the risk of serious injury or death in traffic accidents. For commercial airplanes, high speed results in extremely high fuel consumption, so speed has to be balanced with economic benefits. Moreover, heavy traffic in urban areas actually reduces people’s real travelling speed.
Smil regards himself as a speed sceptic (怀疑论者). He is not against speed itself but advocates a reasonable and balanced attitude. We should welcome higher speed where it brings real benefits, such as timely medical treatment, and slow down where it threatens safety, the environment or social equality. We should never seek speed blindly or run after it for its own sake.
Reviewer Richard Dunn agrees with Smil’s central opinion but argues that the book should focus more on contemporary society rather than the long history of the Earth. He also questions whether continuous growth, instead of speed, is the key concern in modern politics and economy. He believes deeper reflections on modern lifestyle would make the book more meaningful and practical.
1.How does Smil develop his ideas in the book?
A.By giving living guidance. B.By covering different fields.
C.By telling historical stories. D.By showing economic data.
2.What is a probable result of overseeking speed?
A.More green transport. B.Reduced traffic pressure.
C.Unexpected risks at work. D.Quicker medical development.
3.What can be learned about Smil’s book?
A.It ignores Earth’s history. B.It advocates continuous progress.
C.It offers modern lifestyle advice. D.It focuses less on modern society.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Take a Wise Look at Life’s Pace
B.Avoid Hidden Risks in Daily Life
C.Master Skills of Modern Technologies
D.Raise Work Efficiency in Good Ways

Satellites can now track ocean garbage from space, marking a potential “game changer” for tracking the annoying problem of marine litter, new research suggests. The study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that even satellites that haven’t been specially designed to detect floating garbage may be useful in the battle against a rising tide of ocean pollution.
Thirty million tons of plastic pollution have already piled up in the world’s oceans, research suggests, with the number projected to rise in coming years. But tracking litter as it floats on the sea surface has historically proved difficult for scientists because the garbage covers a relatively small part of Earth’s surface, making it almost impossible to accurately monitor from space.
In an attempt to find another way to track ocean garbage, an international group of researchers analyzed 300,000 satellite images of the Mediterranean Sea. They were on the hunt for litter windrows (长条带) that, researchers suspected, might be a good indicator of litter concentration in a given ocean area.
Between July 2015 and September 2021, the satellites took images of 14,374 litter windrows covering about 36 square miles of sea surface. The longest were up to 14.3 miles. The researchers used the imagery to calculate the concentration of the litter in windrow areas, identifying hot spots near Algeria, Libya, southwest Italy and the northern Adriatic Sea. Thickly populated areas had higher nearby litter concentration, they found.
The analysis suggests “much of the litter remains near its land-based source,” the researchers write, though ocean currents and winds affect the litter, and floods and rainstorms in particular pushed the litter farther out to sea. These “pulses” of litter caused concentration to peak in the spring and autumn and decline during winter.
Though the satellites weren’t designed to track garbage, they helped identify the location and magnitude (规模) of waste while “opening new prospects” for litter tracking and considering litter windrows’ potential roles as habitats for marine life, the researchers write. The researchers propose that future satellite missions include litter-specific tracking devices.
1.Why is it hard to track ocean litter from space?
A.It piles up underwater. B.It breaks down too fast.
C.It occupies a limited area. D.It moves with currents.
2.What did the researchers discover with satellites?
A.Causes of marine pollution. B.Distribution rules of ocean waste.
C.Ways to tackle litter concentration. D.Link between climate and ocean life.
3.What does the underlined word “pulses” probably mean in paragraph 5?
A.Periodic bursts. B.Slight changes.
C.Natural forming. D.Long-term spread.
4.What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A.Threats to marine life. B.Value of satellites’ litter detection.
C.Concerns on waste tracking. D.Prospects for marine observation.

Picture yourself halfway up a winding trail, lungs burning, legs trembling, the summit still out of sight. You want to stop but you don’t. Something quiet and steady inside keeps you moving. That inner force, psychologists call grit (毅力) — the combination of persistence (坚持) and passion that keeps us going after goals.
A new study from researchers at the China University of Geosciences explored what really develops that quality in young adults — routine workouts in the gym or unpredictable adventures in the wild. Over 1,200 university students took part in a 16–18-week course in either traditional physical education or outdoor education. Their grit levels were measured before and after the courses from two aspects: persistence of effort and consistency of interest. The answer, it turns out, lies somewhere between sweat and scenery.
Both groups improved, but the difference was striking. Outdoor education produced bigger gains across every measure of grit, especially persistence. Students who spent a term facing real-world challenges became mentally stronger. That sense of mastery — “I can handle this” — builds the same kind of grit linked to lower anxiety, better dealing with stress, and greater life satisfaction. In contrast, traditional PE improved students’ persistence but actually reduced their interest consistency — their ability to stay engaged with long-term goals. Repetitive routines, limited autonomy, and predictable settings may weaken curiosity over time. Outdoor education, however, thrives on uncertainty.
Newness doesn’t just keep us entertained; it keeps us engaged. From the perspective of Self-Determination Theory, outdoor programs meet the three psychological needs that fuel motivation: autonomy (you choose how to face challenges), competence (you see progress), and relatedness (you rely on teammates). Together, they create a powerful recipe for inner motivation.
This study shows that the environment we learn in shapes not just our bodies but our minds’ ability to persist.In a world of digital distraction (分心) and instant satisfaction, outdoor education reminds us that grit grows through hardship. For anyone seeking for long-term change, the message is simple: step outside.
1.Which one is most beneficial to the development of grit?
A.Running on the same school track. B.Swimming in a sports center pool.
C.Climbing mountains in a natural park. D.Playing basketball in an indoor stadium.
2.What does the underlined word “thrives” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Focuses. B.Grows. C.Depends. D.Survives.
3.Why is Self-Determination Theory mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To explain outdoor programs’ motivational effect.
B.To analyze the physical benefits of newness in life.
C.To introduce the popularity of outdoor education.
D.To define the key driving factors of motivation.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Grit contributes to the long-term change. B.Outdoor challenges build a tougher mind.
C.Natural scenery improves mental health. D.Routine workouts weaken inner motivation.

1.推理判断题。根据第三段“Outdoor education produced bigger gains across every measure of grit, especially persistence.(户外教育在毅力的各项衡量指标上都带来了更大的提升,尤其是在坚持性方面。)”可知,户外教育更利于培养毅力。C在自然公园登山属于户外探索挑战,符合户外教育范畴。
2.词句猜测题。根据第三段“Repetitive routines, limited autonomy, and predictable settings may weaken curiosity over time. Outdoor education, however, thrives on uncertainty.(日复一日的常规、有限的自主权和可预测的环境可能会随着时间的推移削弱好奇心。然而,户外教育却在不确定性中thrives。)”可知,前文提到常规体育项目会消磨好奇心,而户外教育依托不确定性发展,可推断thrives此处意为“成长、发展”。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段“From the perspective of Self-Determination Theory, outdoor programs meet the three psychological needs that fuel motivation: autonomy (you choose how to face challenges), competence (you see progress), and relatedness (you rely on teammates).(从自我决定理论的角度来看,户外项目满足了激发动力的三个心理需求:自主性——你可以选择如何面对挑战、胜任感——你能看到自己的进步、关联性——你可以依靠队友。)”可知,引入自我决定理论,是为了解释户外项目为何能激发内在动力。
4.主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第二段“A new study from researchers at the China University of Geosciences explored what really develops that quality in young adults — routine workouts in the gym or unpredictable adventures in the wild.(中国地质大学的研究人员开展的一项新研究探讨了究竟是什么促使年轻人养成了这种品质——是在健身房进行规律锻炼,还是在野外经历不可预测的冒险?)”和第三段“Outdoor education produced bigger gains across every measure of grit, especially persistence.(户外教育在毅力的各项衡量指标上都带来了更大的提升,尤其是在坚持性方面。)”可知,全文围绕户外挑战相比常规运动更能磨砺心智、培养毅力展开论述。

If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over a decision when the answer is obvious, now there’s a scientific reason behind it. “The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.
Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (开抗生素) to patients when it's unwise to do so. “Probably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says.
But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and relieving about making someone else’s choice.”
“Getting input from others not only offers a fresh idea and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good,” says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue, they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (现状),” he says. “But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.” In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. “People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.”
“Just because you can make good choices for others doesn’t mean you’ll do the same for yourself,” Polman cautions. “Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves,” he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles.
1.Decision fatigue may cause people to make decisions that are_______________.
A.reasonable B.objective
C.unwise D.smart
2.Which of the following may be made by a person with decision fatigue?
A.A consumer buys a lot of food to prepare for a dinner.
B.A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day.
C.A student plans to finish his math homework in the morning.
D.A physician advises the patient to drink more water after examination.
3.What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in?
A.They stop trying anything new.
B.They adopt a totally new idea.
C.They tend to make risky decisions.
D.They turn to physicians for advice.
4.What does Polman say about taking some risks in decision making?
A.It will often end in regret.
B.It is likely to cause serious consequences.
C.It will enable people to be more creative.
D.It is necessary to achieve successful outcome.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.D

Facial recognition software used to study the social behavior of individual Greylag Geese (灰雁) in Europe will soon be used to monitor another rare geese species, the Cape Baren Goose in South Australia. The technology was used to assess how each bird responds to images of themselves, other mates or partners. Researchers found that it could be used to monitor and record endangered wildlife.
The program tested each goose face with life size 2D images of members of the Greylag Goose flock. With 97% accuracy, each goose face could be correctly assigned within a photo library containing 6,000 possible matches. “Next, the team placed life-sized photos in a grassy field to see whether geese behave differently to each image, which they did,” says Professor Kleindorfer.
It was found that the geese approached the photo of their partners more quickly, gave friendly contact calls and fed for longer. In contrast, when they saw a picture of themselves — a goose they had never seen before — they made angry sounds and took longer to approach food, if they fed at all.
The latest findings into visual cues of individuality not only give insights into the birds’ social structure but illustrate how the software to monitor individual faces or body patterns can be monitored using photographs collected in the field — for animal numbers and movements — in conservation efforts.
“Animal welfare could also be enhanced through the use of photographs in captivity (圈养),” says Dr Colombelli-Negrel. “A photo might reduce the sense of isolation in a social species held in captivity or serve as a ‘soft introduction’ before a new animal is introduced into an enclosure. Perhaps captive individuals in group-living species express reduced anxiety when exposed to a photograph of an unknown and smaller conspecific.”
1.What makes it possible for facial recognition software to monitor animals?
A.Its research on animal behaviors. B.Its ability to identify different faces.
C.Its photo library of Greylag Geese. D.Its advanced tracking technology.
2.What is probably the geese’s reaction to a picture of themselves?
A.Excited. B.Indifferent. C.Aggressive. D.Friendly.
3.What do animal photos do to captive animals?
A.Avoid conflicts between them. B.Provide entertainment for them.
C.Release their negative emotions. D.Introduce species to them.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.How Endangered Animals Can Be Saved.
B.What Difficulties Animal Protection Will Face.
C.How Facial Recognition Benefits Animals.
D.What Photos Can Boost Animals’ Moods.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.C 4.C

Academic achievement is a key indicator of adolescents’ development and future potential. While physical activity is known to benefit physical and mental health, its indirect effects on academic performance are less understood. A recent study set out to explore exactly this connection, thus helping schools design better interventions for students.
The study examined over 360 high school students with an average age of 17. Using multiple models, researchers analyzed how physical activity level, exercise duration and types of activity influenced academic performance. Contrary to their expectations, the amount of time students spent exercising showed no significant correlation with their grades. Instead, one specific component stood out as a significant predictor.
That component was explosive strength (爆发力), measured through the countermovement (反向运动) jump test. Students who performed better in this jump test tended to achieve higher academic scores. Statistical analysis revealed that jump performance and age significantly affected the academic performance model, with a p-value of 0.14. Together, these factors explained approximately 9.3% of the variation in academic grades.
What explains this connection? The researchers suggest that explosive strength may indicate overall neurological health and cognitive function. Developing such fitness requires discipline and goal-setting — skills that are transferred directly to academic pursuits. Moreover, biochemical changes associated with improved fitness, such as enhanced blood flow to the brain, may create better conditions for learning. For high school students facing pressure from exams, even 20 minutes of moderate exercise can serve as a reset button for an overwhelmed mind.
This study highlights that improving targeted physical fitness does not distract from academic success, but effectively facilitates it. For students buried in textbooks and papers, this finding offers a scientific basis to take regular short breaks from their desks — not as a way to avoid study responsibilities, but as a practical strategy to promote overall learning efficiency. The most essential implication for senior high school students is that nurturing physical fitness, particularly explosive strength, is not a luxury to be delayed until after exams, but an indispensable part of preparing the mind to meet the toughest academic challenges.
1.What was the unexpected discovery made by the researchers?
A.Multiple components predicted grades.
B.Physical activity level led to high grades.
C.Exercise duration was unrelated to grades.
D.Different sports varied in effects on grades.
2.What does the underlined phrase “reset button” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.A button to restart a machine. B.A method to refresh the mind.
C.A way to get your mind off study. D.A means to relieve physical stress.
3.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.Academic success requires trading exercise for study.
B.Taking breaks reflects weak dedication to schoolwork.
C.Targeted physical training supports academic efforts.
D.Explosive strength alone ensures academic performance.
4.Which of the following is probably the best intervention schools design for students?
A.Organizing Tai Chi workshops. B.Doubling daily jogging time.
C.Offering distance running training. D.Doing standing long jump practice.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.C 4.D
【解析】文章主要讲述了研究发现爆发力与青少年学业成绩显著相关,提示学校应重视针对性体能训练。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Contrary to their expectations, the amount of time students spent exercising showed no significant correlation with their grades.(与他们的预期相反,学生花在锻炼上的时间与成绩没有显著相关性)”可知,运动时长与成绩无关是出乎意料的发现。
2.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“For high school students facing pressure from exams, even 20 minutes of moderate exercise can serve as a reset button for an overwhelmed mind.(对于面临考试压力的高中生来说,即使是20分钟的适度运动,也能为不堪重负的大脑充当一个reset button)”可知,面对考试压力时,20分钟的适度运动也能让大脑休息并恢复清醒,所以reset button指的是让大脑恢复清醒、焕新的方法。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This study highlights that improving targeted physical fitness does not distract from academic success, but effectively facilitates it.(这项研究强调,提高针对性的身体素质不会分散学业上的注意力,反而能有效促进学业成功)”可知,作者暗示针对性体能训练支持学业努力。
4.推理判断题。根据第三段中“That component was explosive strength (爆发力), measured through the countermovement (反向运动) jump test. Students who performed better in this jump test tended to achieve higher academic scores. Statistical analysis revealed that jump performance and age significantly affected the academic performance model, with a p-value of 0.14.(那个关键因素是爆发力,通过反向运动跳跃测试来衡量。在这项跳跃测试中表现更好的学生往往能取得更高的学业成绩。统计分析显示,跳跃表现和年龄显著影响了学业成绩模型,p值为0.14)”可知,研究表明爆发力训练最有效,而立定跳远(standing long jump)正是锻炼爆发力的项目。

In the era of the internet, AI, smart homes and autonomous cars, there’s one thing we just can’t stop producing data. We are expected to generate 394 trillion zettabytes of the stuff every year by 2028, according to the analyst company IDC. Every time we watch a YouTube video, send an email, or ask an AI chatbot a question — data is created. Although data seems invisible, it is processed and housed in physical places — data centers, for which demand is now proving unsatisfiable.
The problem of storing this rapidly growing data has inspired novel solutions. One such approach is “memory crystals,” developed by Peter Kazansky, a researcher from Kyoto University. By burning tiny perforations into the glass, data can be encoded in five dimensions, using differences in light orientation, strength, and spatial position (individual 3D pixels with x, y, z coordinates). This method allows for extremely high density, with up to 360 TB stored on a 5-inch glass disk.
Another promising solution is DNA storage, first proposed by Soviet physicist Mikhail Samoilovich Neiman. In this method, digital data is mapped onto DNA’s four bases (A, T, C, and G), represented as 01, 00, 11, and 10, creating a physical form of data. A favorite line among DNA data storage researchers is that “you could store all of the data in the world in a teaspoon.” But its practical application still faces hurdles, especially in terms of cost and data access efficiency.
Heinis, a professor in data management at Imperial College London, says: “Kazansky’s ‘memory crystals’ is a direct competitor to DNA storage. But DNA might have an edge for we will always be able to read DNA, due to its wide-ranging medical applications. With other technologies, like ‘memory crystals’, the question is how long the read device will be around.”
Of course, solving the long-term data storage problem is an important part of the solution to energy-guzzling data centers. But do we really need all the data that we produce?
1.What problem does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A.The rapid growth of global data production.
B.The rising demand for automated equipment.
C.The efficiency of data-processing technologies.
D.The challenge of storing the ever-growing data.
2.What gives memory crystals their high data density?
A.Heat-resistant glass. B.Computer-controlled drilling.
C.High-intensity light. D.Multi-dimensional encoding.
3.What can be inferred from Heinis’s words?
A.DNA storage has stronger reliability.
B.DNA storage keeps larger data storage capacity.
C.DNA storage owns a wider range of application.
D.DNA storage will soon replace memory crystals.
4.What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A.Reduce data center noise. B.Cut data centers’ energy use.
C.Stop over-storage of data. D.Upgrade storage technology.
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.A 4.C
【解析】文章主要介绍了互联网与人工智能时代全球数据产量激增,现有数据中心难以满足存储需求,进而介绍记忆晶体存储和DNA存储两种新型数据存储方案,并对比二者优劣,最后作者反思我们是否有必要存储所有产生的数据。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Although data seems invisible, it is processed and housed in physical places — data centers, for which demand is now proving unsatisfiable.(数据看似无形,却要在数据中心进行处理和存放,而如今对数据中心的需求已无法被满足。)” 可知,作者在第一段指出不断增长的数据带来了巨大的存储难题。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By burning tiny perforations into the glass, data can be encoded in five dimensions, using differences in light orientation, strength, and spatial position (individual 3D pixels with x, y, z coordinates). This method allows for extremely high density, with up to 360 TB stored on a 5-inch glass disk.(通过在玻璃上烧制微小微孔,可利用光的偏振方向、光强、空间位置(带有 x、y、z 三维坐标的独立 3D 像素)这五类维度对数据进行编码。该存储方式存储密度极高,一张 5 英寸玻璃圆盘的存储容量最高可达 360 太字节。)” 可知,多维编码让记忆晶体拥有超高数据存储密度。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段中的““But DNA might have an edge for we will always be able to read DNA, due to its wide-ranging medical applications. With other technologies, like ‘memory crystals’, the question is how long the read device will be around.”(“但 DNA存储或许更有优势:由于DNA在医学领域应用广泛,人类永远有办法读取它。而对于记忆晶体这类其他存储技术,一个问题是:对应的读取设备能存续多久、未来还能不能用。”)” 可知,DNA存储具备更强的可靠性。
4.推理判断题。根据原文最后一段中的“But do we really need all the data that we produce?(但我们真的需要把产生的所有数据都保存下来吗?)” 可知,作者暗示不要过度存储数据。

In space, astronauts have to learn to live without gravity — whether they’re aboard the International Space Station (ISS) or on a journey to the moon. While space adventurers do experience microgravity conditions beyond Earth, that gravitational influence is so minimal that you can think of it as a virtually weightless environment. But while floating around might sound fun, even simple tasks like holding an object can pose unique challenges. So, scientists have wondered, how does the brain adapt to this kind of lifestyle?
In a new study, researchers from the Université catholique de Louvain and Ikerbasque, the Basque Foundation for Science, explored how astronauts’ brains adapt to weightlessness. The team studied changes in how astronauts grip objects when going from Earth to space and then back to Earth again.
The results were a little stranger than you might expect, and could have serious consequences for future astronaut safety. “What we observed was totally unexpected,” lead author Philippe Lefèvre, a Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Université catholique de Louvain, told Space.com.
The researchers found that months after returning to Earth from space, astronauts had trouble exerting the correct amount of force to properly grip an object. In fact, their brains were so used to gripping weightless objects in space that it took them months back on Earth to readjust. Similarly, the team also found that, while in space, astronauts actually applied more force than necessary to grip objects because their brains still expected the presence of gravity.
Essentially, both during a mission in space and after returning to Earth, astronauts “misinterpret sensory feedback,” Lefèvre said. Living on Earth with the force of gravity, we know that if we let go of an object, both inertia (惯性) and the weight of the object (a combination of mass and gravity) will cause it to fall. In space, only inertia causes objects to move. For instance, simply letting go of an object won’t make it fall, but tapping down on it would have the same visual effect because you’ve added a manual force, but while we might know this intellectually, it turns out that it takes some time for our brains to catch up to our gravity (or gravity-less surroundings).
1.What situation do space travelers experience in the universe?
A.They are faced with the completely gravity-free space.
B.The microgravity conditions beyond Earth are minimal.
C.They had difficulty using the proper amount of force.
D.They are floating in an unreal weightless environment.
2.Why did astronauts in space apply more force than necessary to grip objects?
A.Because objects in space become heavier due to microgravity.
B.Because their brains still expected gravity to be present.
C.Because they were not familiar with the effect of inertia.
D.Because sensory feedback was amplified in space.
3.What aspect is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?
A.Cause and effect B.Comparison and contrast
C.Example and citing D.Highlight and focus
4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Astronauts Learn to Hold Objects in a Weightless Environment
B.Astronauts Face Grip Strength Challenge in Space and on Earth
C.Why Astronauts Use Wrong Grip Force in Space and on Earth
D.The Physics of Inertia and Gravity in Space Confuses Astronauts

【解析】文章主要介绍了研究发现宇航员在太空以及返回地球后,大脑都会误判用力大小、抓握物品发力不准,并从重力与惯性的原理角度解释了大脑感官反馈出现偏差的原因。
1.细节理解题。根据原文第一段“While space adventurers do experience microgravity conditions beyond Earth, that gravitational influence is so minimal that you can think of it as a virtually weightless environment.(太空旅行者在地球之外确实处于微重力环境,这种引力影响极小,可以看作近乎失重状态。)”可知,太空旅行者所处的地外微重力环境引力影响微乎其微。
2.细节理解题。根据原文第四段“Similarly, the team also found that, while in space, astronauts actually applied more force than necessary to grip objects because their brains still expected the presence of gravity.(研究团队还发现,宇航员在太空中抓握物品时会用多余的力气,因为他们的大脑仍默认重力依然存在。)”可知,宇航员在太空抓握物体用力过大,是因为大脑仍预设存在重力。
3.推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Living on Earth with the force of gravity, we know that if we let go of an object, both inertia and the weight of the object (a combination of mass and gravity) will cause it to fall. In space, only inertia causes objects to move.(在地球上受重力作用,我们都知道:如果松开一个物体,惯性以及物体自身的重量(质量与重力共同作用的结果)会让它下落。而在太空中,只有惯性会使物体发生运动。)” 可知,本段把地球有重力和太空无重力两种情况进行对比对照。
4.主旨大意题。根据第一段“But while floating around might sound fun, even simple tasks like holding an object can pose unique challenges.(虽然四处漂浮听起来很有趣,但哪怕是抓握物品这类简单的任务,也会带来独特的挑战。)”及第二段“The team studied changes in how astronauts grip objects when going from Earth to space and then back to Earth again.(研究团队研究了宇航员从地球进入太空、再重返地球的过程中,抓握物体方式所发生的变化。)”及全文内容可知,文章介绍了研究发现宇航员在太空以及返回地球后,大脑都会误判用力大小、抓握物品发力不准,并从重力与惯性的原理角度解释了大脑感官反馈出现偏差的原因。B项“宇航员在太空和地球上面临握力挑战”可概括文章主旨。

The “eureka moment” — that sudden breakthrough insight — is celebrated as the peak of innovation. Yet this story is incomplete: while the initial idea provides crucial energy, it guarantees neither success nor continued forward drive.
Most innovations unfold over time. Ancient Greek scientist Archimedes still had to develop the mathematics and practical tools after his bath-time insight — a process demanding persistence and toughness. Initial inspiration alone cannot sustain long-term progress. We need moments that renew our belief and drive along the way.
This is where the “videmus moment” proves vital. Coined by Swedish author Fredrik Haren from the Latin “we see,” it describes the instant someone else truly grasps your idea and says, “Oh, I see!” That recognition makes innovators feel they are no longer alone. Research shows that supportive peer (同伴) feedback strengthens creative self-belief and sustains idea generation over time, providing a second wave of confidence and drive.
Haren considers the videmus moment as significant as the eureka moment, creating “two peaks” of creative energy rather than just one. He illustrates the videmus moment with a gardening metaphor he calls “idealing” — a mix of “idea” and “seedling (幼苗)”. While an idea’s potential is initially visible only to its planter, like a seed hidden in soil, the moment it emerges and others see it, its possibility expands collectively. This shift from private to shared insight is key for innovation.
Such moments, however, aren’t guaranteed. To invite them, we may need to take intentional action. First, share ideas with the right people — those who understand the field and whose feedback you trust. Second, treat confusion as useful feedback; refine your idea for clarity. Third, communicate simply, allowing others to ask questions rather than flooding them with details. Cultivating (营造) an environment where constructive feedback is welcomed can significantly increase the likelihood of experiencing these validating exchanges.
When seeking feedback, watch out for artificial validation. True videmus moments arise not from close friends and family, but when someone unconnected truly recognizes your idea’s value. These moments of being truly seen often become life’s most meaningful highlights.
1.What does the example of Archimedes serve as?
A.Support for an argument.
B.Historical comparison.
C.Challenge to tradition.
D.Theoretical background.
2.What is the key result of a “videmus moment”?
A.The idea gets protected.
B.The innovator feels seen and motivated.
C.A right partner is found.
D.The work gains public attention.
3.What does the underlined word “validating” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Harmonious. B.Complex.
C.Shallow. D.Appreciative.
4.What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To compare two creative stages.
B.To discuss a need for recognition.
C.To present a way to keep creating.
D.To explain how to seek feedbacks.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.C
【解析】这篇文章主要探讨了创新过程中除了“顿悟时刻(eureka moment)”之外,同样至关重要的 “被认可时刻(videmus moment)”,阐述了其对持续创新的意义以及如何创造这样的时刻。
1.推理判断题。根据第二段“Most innovations unfold over time. Ancient Greek scientist Archimedes still had to develop the mathematics and practical tools after his bath-time insight — a process demanding persistence and toughness. Initial inspiration alone cannot sustain long-term progress. We need moments that renew our belief and drive along the way.( 大多数创新都是随着时间的推移逐步形成的。古希腊科学家阿基米德在沐浴时获得的灵感之后,仍需要进一步发展数学理论和实用工具——这个过程需要坚持不懈和坚韧不拔的精神。仅靠最初的灵感无法支撑长期的发展。我们需要那些能不断激发我们信念和动力的时刻。)”可知,第二段开头提出核心论点:“大多数创新是随着时间逐步展开的,仅凭最初的灵感无法支撑长期进展”。由此可推知,阿基米德这个例子是对前文论点的支撑。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“This is where the “videmus moment” proves vital. Coined by Swedish author Fredrik Haren from the Latin “we see,” it describes the instant someone else truly grasps your idea and says, “Oh, I see!” That recognition makes innovators feel they are no longer alone. Research shows that supportive peer (同伴) feedback strengthens creative self-belief and sustains idea generation over time, providing a second wave of confidence and drive.( 这就是“被认可时刻”之所以至关重要的原因。由瑞典作家弗雷德里克·哈伦从拉丁语“我们看到”一词中创造而来,它描述的是当别人真正理解你的想法并说“哦,我明白了!”的那一刻。这种认可让创新者感到自己不再孤单。研究表明,支持性的同伴反馈能增强创造性的自我信念,并在长期内维持想法的产生,带来第二波的信心和动力。)”可知,“被认可时刻”其核心结果是创新者获得被理解的感觉和持续前进的动力。
3.词句猜测题。根据划线短语句中“First, share ideas with the right people — those who understand the field and whose feedback you trust. Second, treat confusion as useful feedback; refine your idea for clarity. Third, communicate simply, allowing others to ask questions rather than flooding them with details. Cultivating (营造) an environment where constructive feedback is welcomed can significantly increase the likelihood of experiencing these validating exchanges.(第一,与合适的人分享想法 ——这些人懂该领域专业知识,且你信任他们给出的反馈。 第二,把他人的质疑困惑当作有益的反馈,完善自己的想法,使其逻辑清晰、通俗易懂。 第三,沟通力求简洁,留出空间让对方主动提问,而不是一股脑向对方堆砌繁杂细节。营造一个欢迎建设性反馈的环境,能显著提高进行这些validating的可能性。)”结合上下文内容可知,这里的“validating exchanges”指的是前文所述的“他人真正认可你想法价值”的交流,即“认可性的、赞赏性的”交流,与D选项appreciative“欣赏的”含义最接近。
4.推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章首先指出“顿悟时刻”的局限性 —— 无法保证成功和持续动力;接着引入“videmus moment”这一概念,说明它是创新过程中不可或缺的“第二波能量”;随后进一步阐述如何主动创造这样的时刻,以维持创新的持续性。因此全文的核心目的是介绍一种保持持续创新的方法。

Europe is racing to secure minerals for its clean energy future. Lithium (锂) and copper are essential for electric vehicle batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines. Under its Critical Raw Materials Act, the EU has named 23 mining projects as “strategic”, aiming to produce 10% of its annual critical raw material needs domestically by 2030.
But there is a hidden cost to this ambition. A new investigation reveals that over half of these strategic mining projects are located within one kilometer of protected Natura 2000 sites — Europe’s most important network of nature reserves.
In Spain, the Mina Doade lithium project sits less than a kilometer from protected Atlantic heathlands — home to endangered species like the Iberian wolf. Local residents have fiercely opposed it. “They say lithium is strategic — but for us, water is strategic,” said one forestry worker. In Finnish Lapland, the Sakatti mining project, which aims to extract (提取) copper and nickel, partially overlaps with the Viiankiaapa wetland reserve. Finland’s state land manager has warned that the project’s environmental assessment failed to resolve uncertainties about potential impacts on groundwater. Globally, a 2024 study found that 71% of transition-linked mines are located in ecologically sensitive areas.
This exposes a fundamental contradiction. The very technologies designed to combat climate change may end up destroying the biodiversity we also seek to protect. Environmentalists warn that Europe is lowering its guard. The Critical Raw Materials Act expedites permits for strategic projects, potentially going around the strict protections that Natura 2000 sites normally enjoy. “In the name of climate goals, we are cutting environmental standards that protect both nature and people,” said a legal advisor at Friends of the Earth.
The path forward is not to abandon the green transition, but to pursue it more thoughtfully. This means prioritizing recycling over new mining, ensuring strict environmental assessments, and recognizing that the cheapest option for clean energy may come at too high a cost for nature.
1.What does the author try to illustrate in the first two paragraphs?
A.The shortage of skilled workers for mining.
B.The high cost of extracting lithium and copper.
C.The EU’s reliance on imports of its raw materials.
D.The potential threat of mining to the environment.
2.Why does the author mention Spain and Finland in Paragraph 3?
A.To reveal assessment issues. B.To show the local opposition.
C.To illustrate mining-nature conflicts. D.To highlight environmental protection.
3.What does the underlined word “expedites” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Speeds up. B.Slows down. C.Takes away. D.Sets aside.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Whose duty? B.Who to blame?
C.What’s the dilemma? D.How to solve?
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.A 4.C
【解析】这篇文章主要介绍了欧盟为发展清洁能源大力推进矿产开采,多数战略矿区紧邻自然保护区,引发生态破坏隐患,凸显气候目标与生物保护的矛盾,文章呼吁理性推进绿色转型。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Under its Critical Raw Materials Act, the EU has named 23 mining projects as “strategic”, aiming to produce 10% of its annual critical raw material needs domestically by 2030.( 根据欧盟的《关键原材料法案》,欧盟已将 23 个采矿项目列为“战略项目”,旨在到 2030 年在国内生产其年度关键原材料需求的 10%。)”以及第二段 “But there is a hidden cost to this ambition. A new investigation reveals that over half of these strategic mining projects are located within one kilometer of protected Natura 2000 sites — Europe’s most important network of nature reserves. ( 但这一雄心壮志背后却隐藏着代价。一项新的调查揭示,这些战略采矿项目中有超过一半位于受保护的“Natura 2000”保护区(欧洲最重要的自然保护区网络)一公里范围内。)”可知,作者在前两段中试图阐明矿业活动对环境可能造成的威胁。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“In Spain, the Mina Doade lithium project sits less than a kilometer from protected Atlantic heathlands — home to endangered species like the Iberian wolf. Local residents have fiercely opposed it. “They say lithium is strategic — but for us, water is strategic,” said one forestry worker. In Finnish Lapland, the Sakatti mining project, which aims to extract (提取) copper and nickel, partially overlaps with the Viiankiaapa wetland reserve. Finland’s state land manager has warned that the project’s environmental assessment failed to resolve uncertainties about potential impacts on groundwater. Globally, a 2024 study found that 71% of transition-linked mines are located in ecologically sensitive areas.( 在西班牙,多阿德德锂矿项目距离受保护的大西洋荒原地带不到一公里——那里是伊比利亚狼等濒危物种的栖息地。当地居民强烈反对该项目。一位林业工人说:“他们说锂是战略物资——但对我们来说,水才是战略物资。”在芬兰拉普兰地区,萨卡蒂采矿项目旨在开采铜和镍,其部分区域与维亚因卡亚帕湿地保护区重叠。芬兰的国有土地管理者警告称,该项目的环境评估未能解决有关潜在对地下水影响的不确定性问题。全球范围内,2024 年的一项研究发现,71% 的与转型相关的矿场位于生态敏感区域。)”可推知,作者在第三段中提及西班牙和芬兰是为了说明采矿与自然环境的冲突。
3.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The very technologies designed to combat climate change may end up destroying the biodiversity we also seek to protect. Environmentalists warn that Europe is lowering its guard.( 原本旨在应对气候变化的技术最终却可能破坏我们同样需要保护的生物多样性。环保人士警告称,欧洲正在放松警惕。)”以及划线单词句中“The Critical Raw Materials Act expedites permits for strategic projects, potentially going around the strict protections that Natura 2000 sites normally enjoy.( 《关键原材料法案》……战略项目的审批流程,有可能绕过纳图拉 2000 保护区通常享有的严格保护措施。)”由此可知,法案为了推进战略采矿项目,会“绕过”保护区的严格保护,因此对项目许可的态度必然是“加快、简化”。A选项Speeds up“加速”符合语境。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,全文围绕欧洲绿色转型的核心矛盾展开:为应对气候变化而必须开采的清洁能源矿产,恰恰可能摧毁我们同样需要保护的生物多样性。文章最后提出解决方向,但核心始终是这一两难困境。C选项“什么是困境?”,准确概括了全文“绿色转型与生态保护”的核心矛盾,适合作为文章的标题。

In his book Speed: How it Explains the World, Vaclav Smil explores the concept of speed, which humans have long regarded as impressive, magical and highly desirable. He interprets speed from two aspects: the physical rate at which objects move within a certain time and a broader measure of changes in individuals, groups and social systems. Adopting a data-based approach, the book covers a wide range of topics, from natural events including volcanoes and species evolution to human creations such as traditional sailing ships and modern supercomputers.
Technological innovations, especially the replacement of animal power with steam and electric power, have greatly raised the pace of life and production. Faster transportation, more efficient production and extraordinary economic growth have taken place worldwide. People’s average life expectancy has increased greatly, and advanced technology makes rapid medical progress possible.
Nevertheless, the uncontrolled desire for speed brings obvious disadvantages. High work pressure caused by extreme efficiency leads to more accidents in workplaces like factories and warehouses. Higher driving speed sharply increases the risk of serious injury or death in traffic accidents. For commercial airplanes, high speed results in extremely high fuel consumption, so speed has to be balanced with economic benefits. Moreover, heavy traffic in urban areas actually reduces people’s real travelling speed.
Smil regards himself as a speed sceptic (怀疑论者). He is not against speed itself but advocates a reasonable and balanced attitude. We should welcome higher speed where it brings real benefits, such as timely medical treatment, and slow down where it threatens safety, the environment or social equality. We should never seek speed blindly or run after it for its own sake.
Reviewer Richard Dunn agrees with Smil’s central opinion but argues that the book should focus more on contemporary society rather than the long history of the Earth. He also questions whether continuous growth, instead of speed, is the key concern in modern politics and economy. He believes deeper reflections on modern lifestyle would make the book more meaningful and practical.
1.How does Smil develop his ideas in the book?
A.By giving living guidance. B.By covering different fields.
C.By telling historical stories. D.By showing economic data.
2.What is a probable result of overseeking speed?
A.More green transport. B.Reduced traffic pressure.
C.Unexpected risks at work. D.Quicker medical development.
3.What can be learned about Smil’s book?
A.It ignores Earth’s history. B.It advocates continuous progress.
C.It offers modern lifestyle advice. D.It focuses less on modern society.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Take a Wise Look at Life’s Pace
B.Avoid Hidden Risks in Daily Life
C.Master Skills of Modern Technologies
D.Raise Work Efficiency in Good Ways
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A
【解析】文章主要介绍了Vaclav Smil在《速度》一书中对“速度”概念的探讨,分析了速度带来的利弊,并倡导以平衡的态度看待生活中的速度。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Adopting a data-based approach, the book covers a wide range of topics, from natural events including volcanoes and species evolution to human creations such as traditional sailing ships and modern supercomputers. (该书采用基于数据的方法,涵盖了广泛的话题,从火山、物种进化等自然事件,到传统帆船、现代超级计算机等人造物)”可知,Smil通过涵盖不同领域来展开他的观点。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Nevertheless, the uncontrolled desire for speed brings obvious disadvantages. High work pressure caused by extreme efficiency leads to more accidents in workplaces like factories and warehouses. (然而,不受控制的速度欲望带来了明显的缺点。极端效率导致的高工作压力引发了工厂、仓库等工作场所的更多事故)”可知,过度追求速度可能会导致工作场所的意外风险。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Reviewer Richard Dunn agrees with Smil’s central opinion but argues that the book should focus more on contemporary society rather than the long history of the Earth. (评论员Richard Dunn同意Smil的核心观点,但他认为这本书应该更多地关注当代社会,而不是地球的漫长历史)”可知,Richard Dunn认为这本书应该更多地关注当代社会,说明Smil的书中对现代社会的关注较少。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第二段中“Technological innovations, especially the replacement of animal power with steam and electric power, have greatly raised the pace of life and production. (技术创新,特别是蒸汽和电力对畜力的替代,极大地提高了生活和生产节奏)”、第三段中“Nevertheless, the uncontrolled desire for speed brings obvious disadvantages. (然而,对速度不加控制的追求带来了明显的弊端)”和第四段中“He is not against speed itself but advocates a reasonable and balanced attitude. We should welcome higher speed where it brings real benefits, such as timely medical treatment, and slow down where it threatens safety, the environment or social equality. (他并不反对速度本身,而是倡导一种合理且平衡的态度。我们应当在速度带来真正益处时——如及时的医疗服务——欢迎更高的速度,而在速度威胁安全、环境或社会公平时放慢脚步)”可知,文章探讨了速度的两面性,并倡导以合理且平衡的态度看待速度。故A项“Take a Wise Look at Life’s Pace (明智地看待生活节奏)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。

Satellites can now track ocean garbage from space, marking a potential “game changer” for tracking the annoying problem of marine litter, new research suggests. The study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that even satellites that haven’t been specially designed to detect floating garbage may be useful in the battle against a rising tide of ocean pollution.
Thirty million tons of plastic pollution have already piled up in the world’s oceans, research suggests, with the number projected to rise in coming years. But tracking litter as it floats on the sea surface has historically proved difficult for scientists because the garbage covers a relatively small part of Earth’s surface, making it almost impossible to accurately monitor from space.
In an attempt to find another way to track ocean garbage, an international group of researchers analyzed 300,000 satellite images of the Mediterranean Sea. They were on the hunt for litter windrows (长条带) that, researchers suspected, might be a good indicator of litter concentration in a given ocean area.
Between July 2015 and September 2021, the satellites took images of 14,374 litter windrows covering about 36 square miles of sea surface. The longest were up to 14.3 miles. The researchers used the imagery to calculate the concentration of the litter in windrow areas, identifying hot spots near Algeria, Libya, southwest Italy and the northern Adriatic Sea. Thickly populated areas had higher nearby litter concentration, they found.
The analysis suggests “much of the litter remains near its land-based source,” the researchers write, though ocean currents and winds affect the litter, and floods and rainstorms in particular pushed the litter farther out to sea. These “pulses” of litter caused concentration to peak in the spring and autumn and decline during winter.
Though the satellites weren’t designed to track garbage, they helped identify the location and magnitude (规模) of waste while “opening new prospects” for litter tracking and considering litter windrows’ potential roles as habitats for marine life, the researchers write. The researchers propose that future satellite missions include litter-specific tracking devices.
1.Why is it hard to track ocean litter from space?
A.It piles up underwater. B.It breaks down too fast.
C.It occupies a limited area. D.It moves with currents.
2.What did the researchers discover with satellites?
A.Causes of marine pollution. B.Distribution rules of ocean waste.
C.Ways to tackle litter concentration. D.Link between climate and ocean life.
3.What does the underlined word “pulses” probably mean in paragraph 5?
A.Periodic bursts. B.Slight changes.
C.Natural forming. D.Long-term spread.
4.What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A.Threats to marine life. B.Value of satellites’ litter detection.
C.Concerns on waste tracking. D.Prospects for marine observation.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.B
【解析】主要说明了研究发现普通卫星可从太空追踪海洋垃圾,地中海观测探明垃圾分布与季节变化,多近陆地源头,研究者建议未来卫星加装垃圾专用追踪设备。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“But tracking litter as it floats on the sea surface has historically proved difficult for scientists because the garbage covers a relatively small part of Earth’s surface, making it almost impossible to accurately monitor from space.(但长期以来,科学家追踪漂浮在海面上的垃圾一直存在困难,因为这些垃圾所覆盖的地球表面区域相对较小,这使得从太空对其进行精确监测几乎不可能实现)”可知,从太空很难追踪海洋垃圾因为它所占空间有限。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers used the imagery to calculate the concentration of the litter in windrow areas, identifying hot spots near Algeria, Libya, southwest Italy and the northern Adriatic Sea. Thickly populated areas had higher nearby litter concentration, they found.(研究人员利用这些图像计算了垃圾长条带区内的垃圾浓度,并在阿尔及利亚、利比亚、意大利西南部以及亚得里亚海北部等地发现了垃圾浓度较高的区域。他们发现,人口密集的地区附近垃圾浓度更高)”可知,研究人员通过卫星发现了海洋废弃物的分布规则。
3.词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“litter caused concentration to peak in the spring and autumn and decline during winter(垃圾的聚集量在春季和秋季达到峰值,并在冬季下降)”可知,春秋浓度峰值、冬季下降,是周期性集中爆发。故划线词意思是“定期爆发”。
4.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Though the satellites weren’t designed to track garbage, they helped identify the location and magnitude (规模) of waste while “opening new prospects” for litter tracking and considering litter windrows’ potential roles as habitats for marine life, the researchers write. The researchers propose that future satellite missions include litter-specific tracking devices.(尽管这些卫星并非专门用于追踪垃圾,但它们帮助确定了垃圾的位置和规模,并为垃圾追踪工作开辟了新的可能性,同时还认为垃圾堆积区有可能成为海洋生物的栖息地。研究人员写道。他们提议未来的卫星任务应配备专门用于追踪垃圾的设备)”可知,作者想要强调卫星垃圾检测的价值。
