Fuel savings and reductions in CO2 emissions are just two of the reasons for doing so. Fuel consumption decreases the slower you drive, because the moving car has to overcome fewer physical forces such as air resistance and rolling friction between tyres and road. Air resistance increases with the square of the speed. This means that a car experiences 28% more air resistance at a speed of 130km/h than at 110km/h. Slower speed is not the only way to reduce the CO2 emissions from your car. There are three automotive tips to help the climate else. STREAMLINE THE CAR 1. Unevenness increases the air resistance of your car, and so its CO2 emissions. Four open windows increase fuel consumption by up to 27%. GET UP THE GEARS QUICKLY 2. Petrol and diesel cars should always be driven in the highest possible gear: the engine then has as few revolutions as possible. Fuel consumption between two gears can vary by up to 20%. MAINTAIN TYRE PRESSURE 3. Car tyres at the recommended pressure ensure ideal driving. If the tyre pressure drops to 75% pressure, fuel consumption increases by 2%. If it drops by half, the increase is as much as 10%. Here’s the breakdown of fuel consumption impact of driving habits and vehicle adjustments from the Federation of Danish Motorists (FDM). speed 130-110km/h 4 open windows Low Gear vs High Gear Tyre Pressure 100%-75% Tyre Pressure 100%-50% (Fuel/Co, saving) (Fuel Increase) (Fuel difference) (Fuel increase) (Fuel Increase) 21.Why does driving at a lower speed help cut fuel use? A. It weakens the physical forces the car must fight against. B. It changes the way air resistance affects the car. C. It lightens the weight of the moving vehicle. D. It makes the engine work at a higher speed. 22.What will happen if a car’s windows are wide open while driving? A. It’ll lower the car’s air resistance. B. It’ll reduce the car’s CO₂ emissions. C. It’ll lead to a sharp rise in fuel use. D. It’ll make the car run more smoothly. 23.What’s the fuel-saving effect of reducing speed from 130km/h to 110km/h according to FDM data? A. 10%. B. 16%. C. Up to 20%. D. Nearly 28%. B On Mondays, two of my children get ready for school in an unusual way. Each packs plenty of food and water, a pair of wellingtons and sometimes a cup of hot chocolate. Then, I drop them off at a nearby park where they spend the entire day outside at a certificated forest school. When I first entered them for the forest school programme, I loved the idea, but as a mum, I was concerned about a few things: Would they be comfortable outside for that long? Would they stay engaged for that many hours? Then I asked them if time ever seemed to move slowly. They stared at me in confusion. They didn't understand my question, so I quickly dropped the question. In this programme, kids direct their own play, climbing tall trees or testing ice on the frozen lake. They are never told their play is too high or too sharp, but are rather trusted to adjust themselves. Something else my sons appreciate about forest school is not being told to move on to the next activity, but being left to stay in a particular spot for as long as their curiosity allows. “What about all the things they’re missing in real school?” concerned parents have asked me. Neither of their classroom teachers thinks it’s a problem, but most significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classroom cannot teach. They are learning to sit silently and observe nature up close—a skill that’s virtually impossible to develop in a noisy and overcrowded classroom setting. They are making social connections across a broader range of age groups. They cooperate together, using their different sizes and strengths to fulfill various roles within their games. I am grateful that forest school is shaping my boys’ relationship with the outdoors. They’re learning how to spend extended periods of time in nature, what to do to pass the time, and developing knowledge that will get them much closer to nature in the coming decades. 24. What is special about the forest school programme? A. Teachers engage in kids’ play. B. Kids play and learn outdoors. C. It focuses on nature protection. D. It offers various food and drinks. 25. What made her son appreciate about forest school? A. Being encouraged to learn new skills quickly. B. Being provided with various outdoor equipment. C. Being grouped with children who share similar interests. D. Being allowed to stay in one place as long as they wish. 26. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The concerns caused by the programme. B. The benefits gained from role-play. C. The skills acquired by children. D. The games loved by teachers. 27. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Nature: the wonderland for the young B. The forest school programme proves a hit C. Parks are replacing traditional schools D. Forest school is a fine place for my kids C From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants. Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes. Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually decreases. Studies show that when the density reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane, a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams. Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic—a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits. 28. What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A. A total of 15 cars per mile. B. Ant behaviors affecting driving. C. Reduced stability of traffic flow. D. A sudden brake at a certain density. 29. What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A. To compare ants with human drivers. B. To criticize current traffic regulations. C. To explain the math behind traffic jams. D. To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. 30. What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Keeping a proper distance. B. Following strict traffic rules. C. Driving too close to the front. D. Seeking efficient lane position. 31. What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A. Collect personal travel data. B. Adopt a collaborative approach. C. Redesign traffic rules constantly. D. Rely on active human intervention. D Experts have gained deeper insight into why people cannot help dancing to music. New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat, what some scientists call the “groove experience”, depends on the music’s degree of syncopation, a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is. Syncopations are rhythmic patterns in which accented or unaccented beats in a melody appear in surprising places relative to the standard beat. The more syncopation a piece of music contains, the less accurately you can guess the rhythm of the next few bars as you listen. In a series of experiments with more than 60 participants, cognitive neuroscientist Benjamin Morillon of France’s Aix-Marseille university and his team examined how syncopation relates to the groove experience. In one test, they played 12 different melodies. The main beat was always two hertz (Hz), or roughly two events per second. But the melody’s rhythmic shifts varied so that each tune was played with three different degrees of syncopation. Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track. As Morillon and his colleagues reported in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation caused a strong desire to move to music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result. In other words, people didn’t particularly want to dance to an entirely predictable rhythm or a highly surprising one. “The work reveals why we cannot resist moving in line with the beat when we listen to music with an optimal level of syncopation,” says Benoit Bardy, a movement-science researcher at the university of Montpellier in France. Bardy, who was not involved in the new study, describes it as “a very innovative piece of science”. In addition, the “groove experience” seems to be all about finding the music’s underlying beats, the study shows. When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm, which represents a primary area of interest for forthcoming research. 32. What determines people’s desire to dance to music? A. Standard beats. B. Imagined dance steps. C. Accurate melodies. D. Surprising rhythmic patterns. 33. What did participants do in the experiment? A. Predict next rhythm in songs. B. Analyze music’s beat patterns. C. Measure their desire to move. D. Create new rhythmic melodies. 34. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Advanced. B. Average. C. Extreme. D. Unusual. 35. What will the follow-up study focus on? A. How composers create syncopated music. B. How the brain reacts to basic music beats. C. How to comprehend the music’s underlying meaning. D. How to improve the “groove experience” in the future. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many teenagers promise themselves they’ll go to sleep early, yet still stay up scrolling their phones in the dark. As minutes turn into an hour, messages, short videos and games keep their brains awake. 36 Blue light from the screen slows the release of sleep hormones, and worries from social media can follow you into your dreams. The habit can be changed with a few simple steps. Build a phone-free wind-down time. Avoid lying in bed with your phone beside you. 37 After that, you might read a paper book, write in a diary, or simply listen to soft music. Keeping your hands busy with offline activities makes it easier to forget about checking your phone again. Understand why you reach for your phone. 38 Maybe you are afraid of missing out on news from friends, or maybe you are putting off thinking about homework. Once you name the true reason, you can look for healthier ways to deal with it, such as talking to someone you trust. Make nights something to look forward to. Plan a small treat, like enjoying a cup of warm milk or doing a short relaxation exercise. You could also keep a grateful list and add three good things that happened that day. 39 When your brain connects bedtime with comfort instead of stress, the pull of the phone grows weaker. 40 Instead, by practising the ideas above, you can protect your sleep, care for your mental health, and wake up with more energy for the next day. A. You don’t have to let late-night scrolling control your life. B. Without strict requirements, you may stay up all night long. C. Of course, you shouldn’t completely give up smartphones to sleep well. D. Set a clear “screen-off” time, such as 30 minutes before you plan to sleep. E. Over time, this late-night scrolling quietly steals both your rest and your energy. F. Ask yourself what you are really looking for when you keep refreshing the screen. G. Focusing on these pleasant moments gently moves your attention away from the screen. 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，选出最佳选项。 Andrew Duhe wanted to give his wife Jennifer a special 40th birthday gift.

Overcome with anger, I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would lose my temper with my husband, Joe. As rain came down in sheets, Joe offered to take me to work. I struggled into my jacket, seized my bag and teaching plans and ignored him. He insisted and reached for his boots. I looked at the piles of newspapers and the dirty dishes still on the table. “Don’t you have enough to do? I can take care of myself.” I stormed out, not even kissing him good-bye. Joe shouted after me not to take the shortcut. Joe and I had been eagerly looking forward to our retirement when a heart attack that past spring forced him to leave his job earlier than we had planned. As the medical bills mounted we realized I would have to continue working full-time while Joe stayed home and took over the housework. The new arrangement was a disaster. Exhausted after a day of full work, all I wanted was a hot homemade meal and a good night’s sleep. However, what greeted me at the table was a microwave package. Sometimes he would serve oatmeal for several nights in a row. One night when I dragged myself to bed, I was terrified to discover Joe had turned our white sheets blue. He told me he had found out how to save on water, soap and electricity. He patted his blue trousers and announced proudly washing everything together was just the secret. Ten minutes later, ignoring Joe’s warning I turned off the main route. I thought it hadn’t rained enough to flood the road, but as I rounded the corner, water rushed across my path. After a few feet, the car got stuck. I opened the door and water poured in. I hurriedly closed the door. I couldn’t risk walking in this. Almost 20 minutes passed. The car began to shake. I got frightened to death when I heard three long honks. 1) Why did the author have to continue working full-time while her husband Joe stayed at home?(3分) _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 2) What made the author unhappy with Joe at home?(3分) _____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 3) Who made the honking sound?

It was Joe! I couldn’t help bursting into tears. Joe shouted to me not to be frightened. Then he threw a thick rope so that I could hang on to it and walk straight toward him. I opened the door, grabbed it and inched out. However, a sudden fall left me in the rushing water. I struggled to my feet, only to find a branch blocking the way right in front of me. I screamed that I couldn’t make it. __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 2 页（共 11页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
