When a powerful snowstorm buried parts of the Wildwood Zoo under more than two feet of snow, a dedicated staff member refused to leave his post. Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather.
“This is the most snow I think I’ve ever seen in my whole life,” said Kirk, describing the intensity of the storm. At one point, conditions were so severe that he was completely trapped inside the staff building. “There was a solid hour that I really couldn’t help anybody because I was completely trapped by snow.”
But as soon as he was able to get outside, Kirk got to work. He began digging out smaller animals that had been buried under the snow, including quail, prairie dogs, and skunks (臭鼬). “I was able to dig them out. Our skunks were completely snowed in,” he said. Despite the serious situation, there was even a moment of humor. “It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.’”
Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow.
For Kirk, staying through the storm wasn’t a question-it was part of the job. “A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.”
24. Why did Kirk spend three nights continuously in the zoo?
A. To wait for the rescue team. B. To ensure the safety of the animals.
C. To repair the damaged staff building. D. To study the behavior of the animals.
25. What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Amusing. B. Confusing. C. Frightening. D. Embarrassing.
26. What kind of picture does paragraph 4 describe?
A. Animals’ fear and Kirk’s worry.
B. Kirk’s efforts and animals’ reaction.
C. Kirk’s loneliness and animals’ anger.
D. The storm’s damage and animals’ suffering.
27. What do Kirk’s words in the last paragraph highlight?
A. Harmony. B. Confidence. C. Reputation. D. Responsibility.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述暴风雪席卷野生动物园时,动物园管理员Kyle Kirk坚守岗位,连续三夜驻守园区,清理积雪、开辟通道、照料各类动物,同时展现部分动物面对风雪的不同状态,凸显主人公强烈的职业责任感。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather.(威斯康星州马什菲尔德动物园管理员Kyle Kirk在园区连续留宿三晚,确保极端天气下所有二十七种动物都安全、得到照料)”可知,他留在动物园是为了保障动物的安全。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.(这真是hilarious,因为我觉得我们的臭鼬以为是我把雪给弄到这儿来了。它们愤怒地跺着脚,仿佛在说:“哦,现在你可以把雪拿走了。”)”可知,这是一种有趣的画面,进而推测hilarious意为“好笑的、有趣的”。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow.(Kirk在围栏之间开辟了通道,以便像豪猪和臭鼬这样的动物能够重新活动起来,他还确保那些已经脱去冬季皮毛的狐狸有足够的温暖来应对突如其来的严寒。与此同时,动物园里的一些体型较大的动物则从容地应对了这场风暴。科迪亚克熊舒适地在周围徘徊,而猞猁在厚厚的积雪中也显得十分自在。)”可知,本段描述Kirk为动物开辟围场通道、照料换毛的狐狸,同时描写科迪亚克熊、猞猁等大型动物安然适应大雪的状态,整段内容一方面体现Kirk的救助努力,另一方面展现动物的不同反应。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.”(他说:“很多人都可以请病假或被雪困住,但简单地说,我不能。”。“如果我们不以最好的方式照顾它们,就没有理由养这些动物。”)”能看出这番话凸显了他的责任感。
C
Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.
Researchers from China studied 25 volunteers classed as obese over a period of 62 days, during which they took part in an intermittent energy restriction (IER) program, a method that involves careful control of calorie intake and eating little or no food on some days. Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌).
It’s not clear what causes these changes, or whether the gut is influencing the brain or the brain is influencing the gut. However, we do know that the gut and the brain are closely linked, so treating certain regions of the brain could be a way to control food intake.
The changes in brain activity were in regions known to be important in the regulation of appetite and addiction — including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. What’s more, the gut microbiome (微生物组) changes were linked to particular brain regions.
More than a billion people worldwide are estimated to have obesity, which leads to an increased risk for a host of different health issues, from cancer to heart disease. Knowing more about how our brains and guts are dependent on each other could make a huge difference in effectively preventing and reducing obesity.
“The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?”
28. What does the study find about intermittent calorie restriction?
A. It influences brain microbiome. B. It works mainly by reducing appetite.
C. It affects both the gut and the brain. D. It effectively reduces the gut bacteria.
29. What did the 62-day study reveal regarding the participants?
A. They ate little food on most days. B. Their brain and gut activities changed.
C. Their calorie intake increased greatly. D. They lost over 8% of their body weight.
30. What is Wang’s statement about?
A. The choice of new research methods. B. The need to involve more researchers.
C. The possible direction for further study. D. The potential application of the findings.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The New Discovery Will Help End Obesity B. The Gut-Brain Link May Aid Weight Control
C. The Gut-Brain Link May Reveal a Secret of Fat D. The Gut Microbiome Will Have a Hidden Effect
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. B
【解析】

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌).(参与研究的人员不仅成功减重——平均减重7.6公斤,即体重的7.8%——而且还有证据表明,与肥胖相关的大脑区域的活动发生了变化,肠道细菌的构成也发生了改变)”可知,这项为期62天的研究对参与者大脑和肠道活动发生了变化。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?”(“接下来需要解答的问题是,在肥胖人群中(包括那些正在减肥的人),肠道微生物群与大脑之间进行信息交流的确切机制是怎样的。”中国科学院的生物医学科学家王博士说道。“哪些特定的肠道微生物群和大脑区域对于成功减肥以及保持健康体重至关重要呢?”)”可知,王的陈述关于进一步研究的可能方向。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.(科学家们为应对当前的肥胖问题而努力探索,他们取得了一项重要发现:间歇性限制热量摄入会对肠道和大脑产生显著影响,这或许为保持健康体重提供了新的可能性)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现间歇热量限制可改变肥胖人群肠道与大脑状态,肠脑联系紧密。探明二者互动机制,有望为预防、改善肥胖问题提供全新解决思路与办法。可知,B选项“肠脑联系或许有助于控制体重”最符合文章标题。

Scientists say bears in southern Greenland differ genetically from those in the north, suggesting they could adjust. Changes in polar bear DNA that could help the animals adapt to warmer climates have been detected by researchers in a study.
Climate breakdown is threatening the survival of polar bears. Two-thirds of them are expected to have disappeared by 2050 as their icy habitat melts and the weather becomes hotter. Now scientists at the University of East Anglia have found that some genes related to heat stress, ageing, and metabolism (新陈代谢) are behaving differently in polar bears living in southeast Greenland, suggesting they may be adjusting to warmer conditions.
The researchers analyzed blood samples taken from polar bears in two regions of Greenland and compared “jumping genes”: small, mobile pieces of the genome that can influence how other genes work. By comparing these bears’ active genes with local climate data, they found that rising temperatures appear to be driving a dramatic increase in the activity of “jumping genes” within the southeast Greenland bears’ DNA. These changes could help us figure out how polar bears may survive in a warming world, inform the understanding of which populations are most at risk, and guide future conservation efforts.
This finding shows, for the first time, that a unique group of polar bears in the warmest part of Greenland are using “jumping genes” to rapidly rewrite their own DNA, which is likely a desperate temporary survival mechanism (机制) against melting sea ice. Some interesting DNA changes occurred in areas linked to fat processing, which could help polar bears survive when food was scarce. Bears in warmer regions had more rough, plant-based diets compared with the fatty, seal-based diets of northern bears, and the DNA of southeast bears seemed to be adapting to this.
The next step will be to look at other polar bear populations to see if similar changes are happening to their DNA. This research could help protect the bears from extinction. But the scientists said it was crucial to stop temperature rises accelerating by reducing the burning of fossil fuels.
32. What did scientists discover about polar bears in southern Greenland?
A. They are moving north to escape heat.
B. They outnumber the bears in northern regions.
C. Their genes reflect adaptation to warmer climates.
D. Their survival genes are dramatically disappearing.
33. Why did researchers study “jumping genes” in polar bears?
A. To compare their diets across different climates.
B. To measure their blood health in cold environments.
C. To track how they migrate between the two regions.
D. To understand how climate affects their gene activity.
34. What can be inferred about the DNA changes in southeast Greenland bears?
A. They occur in two-thirds of the bears.
B. They ensure the permanent survival of the bears.
C. They prove the full climate adaptation of the bears.
D. They may be short-term stress responses of the bears.
35. What can be most likely to be discussed in the following text?
A. Global efforts to cut fossil fuels.
B. Dietary details of Greenland bears.
C. Conservation plans based on the genetic findings.
D. Historical DNA changes in the unique polar bears.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了科研人员对格陵兰岛北极熊的研究发现:气候变暖正威胁北极熊的生存,而格陵兰岛东南部的北极熊,其与热应激、衰老和新陈代谢相关的基因及“跳跃基因”活性发生改变,这些基因变化可能是它们应对气候变暖的生存机制。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists say bears in southern Greenland differ genetically from those in the north, suggesting they could adjust. Changes in polar bear DNA that could help the animals adapt to warmer climates have been detected by researchers in a study. (科学家表示,格陵兰岛南部的北极熊与北部的北极熊在基因上存在差异,这表明它们可能会适应环境。研究人员在一项研究中发现了北极熊DNA中可能帮助它们适应更温暖气候的变化。)”可知,格陵兰岛南部北极熊的基因体现出对更温暖气候的适应能力。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers analyzed blood samples taken from polar bears in two regions of Greenland and compared ‘jumping genes’: small, mobile pieces of the genome that can influence how other genes work. By comparing these bears’ active genes with local climate data, they found that rising temperatures appear to be driving a dramatic increase in the activity of ‘jumping genes’ within the southeast Greenland bears’ DNA. (研究人员分析了从格陵兰岛两个地区采集的北极熊血液样本,并对比了“跳跃基因”——一种小型可移动的基因组片段,能够影响其他基因的运作方式。通过将这些北极熊的活跃基因与当地气候数据进行对比,他们发现气温上升似乎正导致格陵兰岛东南部北极熊DNA中“跳跃基因”的活性急剧增加。)”可知,研究人员研究“跳跃基因”,是为了了解气候如何影响北极熊的基因活性。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“This finding shows, for the first time, that a unique group of polar bears in the warmest part of Greenland are using ‘jumping genes’ to rapidly rewrite their own DNA, which is likely a desperate temporary survival mechanism against melting sea ice. (这一发现首次表明,格陵兰岛最温暖地区的一组独特北极熊正利用“跳跃基因”快速改写自身DNA,这可能是它们应对海冰融化的一种孤注一掷的临时生存机制。)”可推断,格陵兰岛东南部北极熊的DNA变化可能是它们面对环境压力做出的短期应激反应。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“These changes could help us figure out how polar bears may survive in a warming world, inform the understanding of which populations are most at risk, and guide future conservation efforts. (这些变化可以帮助我们弄清楚北极熊如何在变暖的世界中生存,帮助我们了解哪些种群最濒危,并为未来的保护工作提供指导。)”以及最后一段“This research could help protect the bears from extinction. (这项研究有助于保护北极熊免于灭绝。)”可知,全文核心围绕“北极熊基因研究”展开,且明确指出研究的目的是“指导保护工作”。因此,下文最有可能围绕“基于当前基因发现,制定具体的北极熊保护计划”展开。

Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts. ___37___ Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors. For example, schools in South Africa that teach children about their historical roots have led to more community-led initiatives.
___38___ Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.
Laws and partnerships. Strong rules matter. Greece has strict laws with heavy fines to protect sites and stop illegal digging. Also, partnerships between local governments and non-governmental organizations help improve conservation efforts by sharing resources and knowledge. The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site. ___39___
Adaptive reuse. This creative approach gives old buildings a new purpose while keeping their historical value. The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life. ___40___ They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand. Many other cities are now following this example, turning old factories into museums or ancient warehouses into community centers.
A. Science and practice.
B. Technology and tourism.
C. Losing any of them means losing part of the story.
D. This will offer people more chances to know themselves.
E. In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects.
F. Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development.
G. Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers.
【答案】36. C 37. E 38. B 39. G 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了保护文化遗产的多种有效途径与具体做法。
【36题详解】
由上文“Think of it like a quilt: Each patch represents a piece of our past.(把它想象成一床被子:每一块补丁都代表着我们过去的一部分。)”可知,此处用被子来比喻文化遗产,每一块补丁都不可或缺。下文“Around the world, effective strategies help keep our shared heritage safe for future generations.(在世界各地,有效的策略帮助我们为后代保护共享的遗产。)”则引出了保护遗产的具体方法。因此,本空需要填入一个能承接被子比喻、强调每块补丁重要性的句子,同时能自然过渡到下文的保护策略。C选项“Losing any of them means losing part of the story.(失去任何一块都意味着失去部分故事。)”完美承接了上文的被子比喻,强调了每一块“补丁”的重要性,同时为下文介绍保护策略做了铺垫,正因为失去任何一块都不行,所以才需要有效的保护策略。
【37题详解】
由上文“Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts.(社区与教育。当人们与文化地标产生情感连接时,他们更有可能用自己的双手和心灵去保护它们。)”和下文“Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors.(同时,教育赋予年轻一代成为未来保护者的能力。)”可知,本段围绕“社区与教育”展开,上文讲社区参与,下文用“Meanwhile”转向教育。因此,本空需要填入一个关于社区参与保护遗产的具体例子。E选项“In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects.(在意大利,庞贝居民定期自愿参与修复项目。)”是社区主动保护遗产的典型实例,与上文“protect them with their own hands and hearts”高度吻合,且与下文教育部分的举例形成对照。
【38题详解】
由下文“Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.(现代工具正在改变我们保护遗产的方式。3D激光扫描使考古学家能够详细记录遗址,如约旦的古城佩特拉。这有助于创建脆弱结构的数字副本。同时,可持续旅游确保游客不会损害他们前来参观的遗产。最近的一项研究发现,60%的游客愿意支付更多费用来支持可持续实践。)”可知,本段主要介绍了两个方面:一是现代科技手段,二是可持续旅游。因此,本空作为段首小标题,需要概括这两个核心内容。B选项“Technology and tourism.(科技与旅游。)”精准概括了本段的两大主题,与下文内容完全对应。
【39题详解】
由上文“The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site.(印度尼西亚与全球遗产基金合作修复婆罗浮屠古庙,成功保护了这一遗址。)”可知,此处在介绍一个成功的国际合作案例。本空需要填入对该合作成果的补充说明。G选项“Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers.(此外,它还通过旅游业促进了当地经济发展,为附近村民创造了就业机会。)”中“Besides”表示递进补充,说明该合作除了保护遗址外还带来了经济效益,与上文构成完整的合作成果描述。
【40题详解】
由上文“The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life.(纽约市的高线公园,一条废弃铁路变成了充满活力的公共公园,在保留历史价值的同时服务于当今城市生活。)”和下文“They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand.(它们表明保护与发展可以齐头并进。)”可知,本段主题是“适应性再利用”,上文举例说明,下文总结意义。因此,本空需要填入一个对适应性再利用方法进行总结评价的句子。F选项“Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development.(这种方法既支持文化欣赏,也支持城市发展。)”中“Such a method”指代上文的适应性再利用,“both cultural appreciation and urban development”与下文“preservation and progress can go hand in hand”完美呼应。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨了如何通过睡前阅读六分钟来改善睡眠质量。作者引用了一项研究,指出阅读能有效降低压力水平,并分享了自己将这一简单方法作为睡前习惯的经验和好处。
【41题详解】
考查动词。句意:有很多理论,所以你很容易让自己陷入建议和技巧的迷宫中。A. show展示;B. hide隐藏;C. find找到;D. help帮助。根据后文“in a maze (迷宫) of advice and techniques”可知,这里需要一个动词描述“身处迷宫”的状态。find oneself in... 是常用表达,表示“(不知不觉)发现自己处于某种境地”,符合“理论众多令人迷惑”的语境。
【42题详解】
考查动词。句意:但我发现一个技巧满足了我所有的需求:睡前只读六分钟书。A. amused逗乐;B. met满足,符合;C. pressed按压;D. tricked欺骗。根据后文“all my needs”可知,这个技巧“满足”了作者的所有需求。且后文“This ____ trick has both improved my sleep and put an end to my reading slump”详细说明了这个技巧如何满足了改善睡眠和恢复阅读两大需求。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这个简单的技巧既改善了我的睡眠,也终结了我的阅读低谷期。A. simple简单的;B. popular流行的;C. original原创的;D. creative有创造力的。根据上文“Read for just six minutes”以及第三段开头“Six minutes sounds easy”可知,这个方法的核心是“只读六分钟”,操作上非常“简单”。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:苏塞克斯大学曾经进行过一项研究,发现读书能将压力水平降低68%,效果优于散步等其他活动。A. sensitivity敏感;B. contribution贡献;C. response回应;D. research研究。根据后文“which found reading a book reduced stress levels by 68%”可知,这是一个研究发现的结果,因此前面提到的应是大学进行的“研究”。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:大卫·路易斯博士解释说,这是因为持续阅读不仅仅是一种消遣,还提供了参与作者想象、进入一种改变意识状态的机会,这种状态能让大脑放松。A. requirement要求;B. occupation职业,消遣;C. direction方向;D. tension紧张。根据后文“and offers the chance to be engaged in the authors’ imagination”可知,阅读不仅仅是“消遣”(指打发时间的活动),因为它还有更深层的好处。且本段开头将其与“going for a walk”等其他活动对比,也表明它是一种“活动/消遣”。
【46题详解】
考查动词。句意同上。A. purifies净化;B. rebuilds重建;C. guards守卫;D. relaxes放松。根据前文“reduced stress levels by 68%”可知,本段在解释阅读为何能“减压”。进入一种改变了的意识状态,其效果应该是让大脑“放松”,这与“减压”的目的直接相关。
【47题详解】
考查动词。句意:六分钟听起来很容易,所以我已将它用作我的睡前惯例。A. exchanged交换;B. argued争论;C. employed采用,使用;D. discovered发现。根据后文“as my pre-sleep routine”可知,作者将这个六分钟阅读法“采用/用作”自己的睡前习惯。
【48题详解】
考查副词。句意:我阅读的时间要长得多,逐渐减少了床头柜上堆积如山的书。A. gradually逐渐地;B. secretly秘密地;C. safely安全地;D. previously先前地。根据前文“I read for much longer”可知,阅读时间变长了,那么书堆的减少应该是一个“逐渐”的过程。
【49题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:自从我养成了这个习惯,如果前一晚没有读几页书,我早上就会感觉不舒服。A. broken up分手,解散;B. hung up挂断电话;C. taken up开始从事,养成(习惯);D. made up组成,编造。根据后文“this habit”和“I feel bad in the morning if I don’t read”可知,作者已经“养成了”睡前阅读的习惯。take up a habit是固定搭配,表示“养成习惯”。
【50题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。A. choices选择;B. pages页;C. roles角色;D. joys乐趣。根据前文“read”和后文“the night before”可知,这里指的是睡前阅读的具体内容。阅读书籍的自然计量单位是“页”。
【51题详解】
考查动词。句意:我们很多人习惯在睡前刷屏幕,这个策略最好的地方在于,任何人都能做六分钟。A. walking行走;B. falling掉落;C. scrolling滚动(屏幕);D. cutting切割。根据后文“through a screen before bed”可知,这是描述现代人睡前刷手机、平板等电子屏幕的习惯。scroll through a screen是常用表达,表示“滑动屏幕刷手机”。
【52题详解】
考查名词。句意:我们很多人习惯在睡前刷屏幕,这个策略最好的地方在于,任何人都能做六分钟。A. limitation限制;B. description描述;C. theory理论;D. strategy策略,方法。根据前文,作者提出了“Read for just six minutes before you go to sleep”这个方法并亲身实践。这里“this”指代的就是这个具体“方法”或“策略”。
【53题详解】
考查名词。句意:在抵抗了疲倦之后,回报是重新发现阅读带给我们的逃避现实和灵感。A. reward回报,奖赏;B. belief信念;C. action行动;D. ability能力。根据后文“rediscovering the escapism and inspiration reading gives us”可知,这是坚持睡前阅读后所获得的积极“回报”。
【54题详解】
考查名词。句意:当我们遇到阅读障碍时,也许我们并不总是需要一本激动人心的书来重新开始阅读。A. lecture讲座;B. roadblock障碍;C. location地点;D. cure疗法。根据前文“my reading slump”(我的阅读低谷期)可知,这里指阅读过程中遇到的停滞或困难。hit a roadblock 是固定搭配,意为“遇到障碍”,与“reading slump”语义呼应。
【55题详解】
考查名词。句意:也许我们所需要的只是一个惯例。A. routine惯例,常规;B. poster海报;C. combination组合;D. freedom自由。根据前文的“my pre-sleep routine”,全文核心是建议建立一个简单的睡前阅读“惯例”(即“睡前阅读六分钟”的“pre-sleep routine”)。因此,这里总结说,也许我们需要的只是一个“惯例”。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国书院的起源、发展,以及在古代和当代作为文明对话平台,促进中外文化交流、助力中国文化传播的作用。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:到了宋代,它们已成为中国主要的知识中心,学者们经常在那里进行批判性反思、严谨的交流和辩论。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为intellectual centers,指物,作介词in的宾语,应用关系代词which。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意:明代时,一位意大利人访问了南昌的豫章书院,并与当时著名的白鹿洞书院院长张煌交往甚密,中国书院的智慧开始与西方产生共鸣。空格前后为when引导的时间状语从句的两个并列的谓语动词visited和enjoyed,表示顺承关系,所以用连词and。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他在张煌的指导下学习儒家经典,而张煌则将西方地理知识融入自己的作品中,体现了相互尊重和互动。空格后为名词knowledge“知识”,所以此处需用形容词作定语,geography的形容词形式为geographic(al)“地理的”。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这种对话精神一直延续到今天。根据时间状语to this day可知,本句用一般现在时,主语This spirit of dialogue为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用lives。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2025年10月,来自51个国家和地区的近200名学者齐聚福建省考亭书院,参加朱熹哲学与全球文明对话研讨会,探讨中国已故哲学家朱熹的思想如何为解决文明冲突提供启示。空格前为介词for,介词后需接动名词作宾语,所以resolve“解决”需变为动名词形式resolving。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:在当代,书院再次成为文明对话的平台。serve as“充当,担任”是固定搭配。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:山东省的尼山世界文明论坛利用书院文化连接全球学者,而白鹿洞书院的讲座则通过直播面向全球观众。此处考查固定搭配use sth. to do sth.“用某物做某事”,用动词connect“连接”不定式形式作目的状语。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意:这些以书院为中心的交流实践,使中国文化能够通过与世界多元文明的对话,不断吸收养分、发展创新。空格后为复数名词exchange practices“交流实践”,所以此处需用this的复数形式these“这些”,句首首字母大写。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些以书院为中心的交流实践,使中国文化能够通过与世界多元文明的对话,不断吸收养分、发展创新。空格后为动词absorb,所以此处需用副词作状语,continuous的副词形式为continuously“不断地”。
【65题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:同时,它们让世界通过古代教育机构这一窗口,更深入、更全面地了解中国。institution“机构”为可数名词,结合句意及常识,古代教育机构不止一个,所以用复数形式institutions。

With the rapid development of AI, our daily lives are expected to change greatly in the near future.
First, AI will bring convenience to many areas of our lives. In transportation, self-driving cars can make travel safer and easier by reducing human errors. In healthcare, AI helps doctors diagnose diseases more quickly and accurately. In education, it can create personal learning plans for students based on their individual needs.

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 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。
I want every high school student to know: You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to join in many extracurricular activities or get perfect test scores. What matters is that you work hard, believe in yourself, and let your true self shine. I was once a girl who doubted whether I could ever get into Harvard University, but with hard work and a little faith, I made it. And so can you.
In high school, such a belief felt out of reach to me. Those days were full of self-doubt. I would spend hours watching videos of students online talking about their perfect extracurricular activities — ten clubs, volunteer work abroad, internships at big companies — and compare myself to them. I only had a few after-school activities: attending the book club, tutoring younger students in math, and playing on the girls’ soccer team. My test scores were good, but not perfect. Every time I saw those “perfect” numbers online, I felt like I was falling behind, and I even thought about giving up my dream of going to a top university.
Everything changed the day my teacher, Cathy, pulled me aside. She noticed I was feeling down and asked me what was troubling me. I told her about my doubts, the numbers and activities that made me feel inadequate (缺乏信心的). She smiled and handed me a brochure about Harvard’s admissions process. “Ana,” she said gently, “colleges like Harvard don’t just look at numbers. They look at the whole person — your struggles, your efforts, your growth, and the opportunities you’ve had. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be yourself.” Those words hit me like a ray of light. For the first time, I realized that my background, my hard work, and my unique story were not weaknesses — they were part of who I was, and they mattered.

From that day on, I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on doing my best.

When applying to colleges, I hesitated before adding Harvard.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
From that day on, I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on doing my best. I threw myself into the activities I loved: leading book club discussions, spending more time tutoring students who needed help, and even organizing a small fundraiser for a local children’s shelter with my soccer team. It wasn’t always easy — there were nights when I stayed up late studying for exams, weekends I spent volunteering instead of hanging out with friends, and moments when I still felt like giving up. But whenever I felt discouraged, I thought of Cathy’s words.
When applying to colleges, I hesitated before adding Harvard. My hands trembled as I clicked “submit” on my application. I told myself that even if I didn’t get in, I was proud of how hard I had worked. Weeks later, when I received the acceptance letter in the mail, I couldn’t believe my eyes. What made it even more amazing was that Harvard offered me a full scholarship through their need-based financial aid programs — all because of the hard work I had put in during high school.

When a powerful snowstorm buried parts of the Wildwood Zoo under more than two feet of snow, a dedicated staff member refused to leave his post. Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather.
“This is the most snow I think I’ve ever seen in my whole life,” said Kirk, describing the intensity of the storm. At one point, conditions were so severe that he was completely trapped inside the staff building. “There was a solid hour that I really couldn’t help anybody because I was completely trapped by snow.”
But as soon as he was able to get outside, Kirk got to work. He began digging out smaller animals that had been buried under the snow, including quail, prairie dogs, and skunks (臭鼬). “I was able to dig them out. Our skunks were completely snowed in,” he said. Despite the serious situation, there was even a moment of humor. “It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.’”
Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow.
For Kirk, staying through the storm wasn’t a question-it was part of the job. “A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.”
24. Why did Kirk spend three nights continuously in the zoo?
A. To wait for the rescue team. B. To ensure the safety of the animals.
C. To repair the damaged staff building. D. To study the behavior of the animals.
25. What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Amusing. B. Confusing. C. Frightening. D. Embarrassing.
26. What kind of picture does paragraph 4 describe?
A. Animals’ fear and Kirk’s worry.
B. Kirk’s efforts and animals’ reaction.
C. Kirk’s loneliness and animals’ anger.
D. The storm’s damage and animals’ suffering.
27. What do Kirk’s words in the last paragraph highlight?
A. Harmony. B. Confidence. C. Reputation. D. Responsibility.

Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.
Researchers from China studied 25 volunteers classed as obese over a period of 62 days, during which they took part in an intermittent energy restriction (IER) program, a method that involves careful control of calorie intake and eating little or no food on some days. Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌).
It’s not clear what causes these changes, or whether the gut is influencing the brain or the brain is influencing the gut. However, we do know that the gut and the brain are closely linked, so treating certain regions of the brain could be a way to control food intake.
The changes in brain activity were in regions known to be important in the regulation of appetite and addiction — including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. What’s more, the gut microbiome (微生物组) changes were linked to particular brain regions.
More than a billion people worldwide are estimated to have obesity, which leads to an increased risk for a host of different health issues, from cancer to heart disease. Knowing more about how our brains and guts are dependent on each other could make a huge difference in effectively preventing and reducing obesity.
“The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?”
28. What does the study find about intermittent calorie restriction?
A. It influences brain microbiome. B. It works mainly by reducing appetite.
C. It affects both the gut and the brain. D. It effectively reduces the gut bacteria.
29. What did the 62-day study reveal regarding the participants?
A. They ate little food on most days. B. Their brain and gut activities changed.
C. Their calorie intake increased greatly. D. They lost over 8% of their body weight.
30. What is Wang’s statement about?
A. The choice of new research methods. B. The need to involve more researchers.
C. The possible direction for further study. D. The potential application of the findings.
31. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The New Discovery Will Help End Obesity B. The Gut-Brain Link May Aid Weight Control
C. The Gut-Brain Link May Reveal a Secret of Fat D. The Gut Microbiome Will Have a Hidden Effect
D
Scientists say bears in southern Greenland differ genetically from those in the north, suggesting they could adjust. Changes in polar bear DNA that could help the animals adapt to warmer climates have been detected by researchers in a study.
Climate breakdown is threatening the survival of polar bears. Two-thirds of them are expected to have disappeared by 2050 as their icy habitat melts and the weather becomes hotter. Now scientists at the University of East Anglia have found that some genes related to heat stress, ageing, and metabolism (新陈代谢) are behaving differently in polar bears living in southeast Greenland, suggesting they may be adjusting to warmer conditions.
The researchers analyzed blood samples taken from polar bears in two regions of Greenland and compared “jumping genes”: small, mobile pieces of the genome that can influence how other genes work. By comparing these bears’ active genes with local climate data, they found that rising temperatures appear to be driving a dramatic increase in the activity of “jumping genes” within the southeast Greenland bears’ DNA. These changes could help us figure out how polar bears may survive in a warming world, inform the understanding of which populations are most at risk, and guide future conservation efforts.
This finding shows, for the first time, that a unique group of polar bears in the warmest part of Greenland are using “jumping genes” to rapidly rewrite their own DNA, which is likely a desperate temporary survival mechanism (机制) against melting sea ice. Some interesting DNA changes occurred in areas linked to fat processing, which could help polar bears survive when food was scarce. Bears in warmer regions had more rough, plant-based diets compared with the fatty, seal-based diets of northern bears, and the DNA of southeast bears seemed to be adapting to this.
The next step will be to look at other polar bear populations to see if similar changes are happening to their DNA. This research could help protect the bears from extinction. But the scientists said it was crucial to stop temperature rises accelerating by reducing the burning of fossil fuels.
32. What did scientists discover about polar bears in southern Greenland?
A. They are moving north to escape heat.
B. They outnumber the bears in northern regions.
C. Their genes reflect adaptation to warmer climates.
D. Their survival genes are dramatically disappearing.
33. Why did researchers study “jumping genes” in polar bears?
A. To compare their diets across different climates.
B. To measure their blood health in cold environments.
C. To track how they migrate between the two regions.
D. To understand how climate affects their gene activity.
34. What can be inferred about the DNA changes in southeast Greenland bears?
A. They occur in two-thirds of the bears.
B. They ensure the permanent survival of the bears.
C. They prove the full climate adaptation of the bears.
D. They may be short-term stress responses of the bears.
35. What can be most likely to be discussed in the following text?
A. Global efforts to cut fossil fuels.
B. Dietary details of Greenland bears.
C. Conservation plans based on the genetic findings.
D. Historical DNA changes in the unique polar bears.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When we think about cultural heritage preservation, it’s not just about keeping old buildings standing. It is a joint effort to protect the story of our history and identity. Think of it like a quilt: Each patch represents a piece of our past. ___36___ Around the world, effective strategies help keep our shared heritage safe for future generations.
Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts. ___37___ Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors. For example, schools in South Africa that teach children about their historical roots have led to more community-led initiatives.
___38___ Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.
Laws and partnerships. Strong rules matter. Greece has strict laws with heavy fines to protect sites and stop illegal digging. Also, partnerships between local governments and non-governmental organizations help improve conservation efforts by sharing resources and knowledge. The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site. ___39___
Adaptive reuse. This creative approach gives old buildings a new purpose while keeping their historical value. The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life. ___40___ They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand. Many other cities are now following this example, turning old factories into museums or ancient warehouses into community centers.
A. Science and practice.
B. Technology and tourism.
C. Losing any of them means losing part of the story.
D. This will offer people more chances to know themselves.
E. In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects.
F. Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development.
G. Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers.

We’re all on a never-ending pursuit of good sleep. There are many theories, so it is easy to ___41___ yourself in a maze (迷宫) of advice and techniques. But one trick I found ___42___ all my needs: Read for just six minutes before you go to sleep. This ___43___ trick has both improved my sleep and put an end to my reading slump (下降期).
The University of Sussex once conducted ___44___ which found reading a book reduced stress levels by 68%, doing better than other activities like going for a walk. Dr David Lewis explained that this is because sustained reading is more than a(n) ___45___ and offers the chance to be engaged in the authors’ imagination and enter a changed state of consciousness (意识) that ___46___ the brain.
Six minutes sounds easy, so I’ve ___47___ it as my pre-sleep routine. The theory has proved itself for me. I read for much longer, ___48___ reducing the large pile of books on my bedside table. Since I’ve ___49___ this habit, I feel bad in the morning if I don’t read a few ___50___ the night before.
With so many of us ___51___ through a screen before bed out of habit, the best thing about this ___52___ is that anyone can do six minutes. After fighting off tiredness, the ___53___ is rediscovering the escapism and inspiration reading gives us. When we hit a reading ___54___, maybe we don’t always need an exciting book to get back into books. Maybe all we need is a ___55___.

67. 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。
I want every high school student to know: You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to join in many extracurricular activities or get perfect test scores. What matters is that you work hard, believe in yourself, and let your true self shine. I was once a girl who doubted whether I could ever get into Harvard University, but with hard work and a little faith, I made it. And so can you.
In high school, such a belief felt out of reach to me. Those days were full of self-doubt. I would spend hours watching videos of students online talking about their perfect extracurricular activities — ten clubs, volunteer work abroad, internships at big companies — and compare myself to them. I only had a few after-school activities: attending the book club, tutoring younger students in math, and playing on the girls’ soccer team. My test scores were good, but not perfect. Every time I saw those “perfect” numbers online, I felt like I was falling behind, and I even thought about giving up my dream of going to a top university.
Everything changed the day my teacher, Cathy, pulled me aside. She noticed I was feeling down and asked me what was troubling me. I told her about my doubts, the numbers and activities that made me feel inadequate (缺乏信心的). She smiled and handed me a brochure about Harvard’s admissions process. “Ana,” she said gently, “colleges like Harvard don’t just look at numbers. They look at the whole person — your struggles, your efforts, your growth, and the opportunities you’ve had. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be yourself.” Those words hit me like a ray of light. For the first time, I realized that my background, my hard work, and my unique story were not weaknesses — they were part of who I was, and they mattered.
