Inspired by the way certain beetles and cacti collect water from fog, the hydrogel can pull water vapor out of the atmosphere and turn it into liquid water. The material, made from a combination of a water-absorbing salt and a polymer, can produce about 5 liters of water per kilogram per day in desert-like environments with just 20% humidity. This is a huge improvement over previous technologies that required high humidity or significant energy input. The team tested the hydrogel in Arizona, where they collected water successfully during the night and released it as clean drinking water when heated by the sun during the day. The water met the safety standards of the World Health Organization. Lead researcher Dr. Emma Zhou said, “This technology could be a game-changer for water-scarce regions. We are now working to make the material more affordable and long-lasting.” 4. What inspired the development of the hydrogel? A. Desert plants and insects. B. High humidity areas. C. The World Health Organization. D. Previous water-collection devices. 5. How much water can one kilogram of hydrogel produce daily in a desert? A. About 5 liters. B. About 20 liters. C. About 1 liter.

Over the past 30 years, she has created hundreds of works, many of which feature rural life and traditional Chinese patterns. Last year, Zhang’s work “Harvest Season” won first prize in a national folk art competition. “I never thought my hobby would earn such recognition,” she said. “Every stitch carries my love for the land.” Now, Zhang is using live streaming to teach embroidery to thousands of followers online.

If so, you might be ready for “digital minimalism” — a philosophy that advocates intentional use of technology, focusing only on tools that truly add value to your life. Digital minimalism, popularized by computer scientist Cal Newport in his 2019 book, does not mean rejecting technology altogether. Instead, it encourages a “less is more” approach: declutter your digital life by removing unnecessary apps, limiting social media time, and scheduling offline periods. Studies have shown that heavy social media use is linked to increased anxiety and reduced productivity. In contrast, people who practice digital minimalism report higher levels of focus, better sleep, and more meaningful real-life connections. However, adopting digital minimalism can be challenging in a world where many jobs require constant connectivity. Experts suggest starting small: try a 24-hour digital detox (排毒) each week, or turn off all non-essential notifications. Over time, you may find that you don’t miss the noise. 12. What is digital minimalism according to the text? A. Completely avoiding all digital devices. B. Using technology only when necessary. C. Spending more time on social media. D. Replacing phones with offline tools. 13. Who is Cal Newport? A. A psychologist studying anxiety. B. The person who made digital minimalism known. C. A critic of modern technology. D. The inventor of a digital detox app. 14. What benefit do digital minimalists commonly experience? A. Higher income. B. More online followers. C. Better concentration. D. Longer working hours. 15. What does the author suggest for beginners of digital minimalism? A. Quit social media permanently. B. Take small steps like a one-day break. C. Buy a new phone without apps. D. Only check emails once a month. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. B 【阅读导语】本文介绍了“数字极简主义”的理念、益处及实践方法，属于现象说明文。 【解析】 12. 根据第一段“intentional use of technology, focusing only on tools that truly add value”可知，它主张有意识地使用技术，只在必要时使用。故选B。 13. 根据第二段“Digital minimalism, popularized by computer scientist Cal Newport”可知，Cal Newport是推广该理念的人。故选B。 14. 根据第三段“people who practice digital minimalism report higher levels of focus”可知，他们注意力更集中。故选C。 15. 根据最后一段“suggest starting small: try a 24-hour digital detox each week”可知，建议从小事做起，比如每周一天断网。故选B。 【点睛】社科类说明文要把握核心定义和论点，建议类题目常出现在末段。 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。 How to Wake Up Early and Not Feel Tired Waking up early can give you more productive hours, but if you’re not a natural morning person, it can be a struggle. Here are some science-backed tips. ____16____ Your body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, is highly sensitive to light. When you expose your eyes to natural sunlight in the morning, it signals your brain to stop producing melatonin (褪黑素), the sleep hormone, and to increase alertness. Avoid hitting the snooze button (贪睡按钮). When you snooze, you fall back into a light sleep, which can make you feel more tired when you finally wake up. ____17____ Drink a glass of water as soon as you get up. Overnight, your body becomes slightly dehydrated, which can lead to fatigue. ____18____ Have a consistent wake-up time, even on weekends. Sleeping in on Sundays can disrupt your circadian rhythm and cause “social jetlag”, making Monday mornings especially painful. ____19____ ____20____ Doing light stretches, a few yoga poses, or a short walk can boost blood flow and release endorphins (内啡肽) that energize you naturally. A. Instead, set your alarm for the latest possible time and get up immediately. B. Avoid bright screens an hour before bed. C. Morning exercise can help shake off sleepiness. D. Rehydrating first thing can help restore your energy. E. Get exposure to natural light right after waking up. F. A heavy breakfast is essential for early risers. G. Try to keep the difference within one hour. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. D 19. G 20. C 【阅读导语】本文给出了几个早起且不疲惫的实用建议，按“光线—不要贪睡—补水—规律作息—晨练”的逻辑展开。 【解析】 16. 空格后讲早晨自然光对调节生物钟的作用，因此本句应建议早晨接触自然光。E项符合。 17. 前文说不要按贪睡按钮，并解释其原因，接着应给出替代做法：直接起床。A项“Instead...”正确。 18. 前文说早晨喝水能缓解脱水导致的疲劳，此处应总结补水的作用。D项“Rehydrating first thing...”匹配。 19. 前文强调周末也要保持固定起床时间，否则会造成“社交时差”，后文应建议时间差异的限度。G项“keep the difference within one hour”恰当。 20. 本段讲早晨做轻度运动的好处，C项“Morning exercise...”是段落主题句。 【点睛】七选五要注意空前后的逻辑关系（因果、转折、举例、并列），代词和同义词复现往往是关键线索。 第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One afternoon, 12-year-old Leo was walking home from school when he noticed an old woman sitting on a bench, looking confused.

She had lost her parents during the war and now took care of her younger brother, Sami, who was only six. Every morning, she walked two miles to a makeshift school run by volunteers. One day, the teacher announced a drawing competition. The winner would receive a brand-new set of colored pencils — something Amina had dreamed of for Sami, who loved to draw but only had a broken crayon. Amina worked hard on her drawing, a picture of the sea under a starry sky — the view she remembered from her home in Damascus. When she finished, she looked at it proudly. However, on the day of the competition, as she reached for her drawing, she found it ruined. Water had leaked into her bag overnight, turning the paper into a wet, blurry mess. Tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to give up. But then she saw Sami sitting nearby, drawing circles with his worn crayon on a piece of cardboard. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1:Suddenly, an idea struck her. Paragraph 2: When her name was announced as the winner, Amina could hardly believe her ears. 【答案】 Suddenly, an idea struck her. She picked up her ruined drawing and looked at the blurred colors. Instead of throwing it away, she decided to turn the damage into something new. Using her fingers, she gently spread the wet colors across the paper, creating a dreamy, abstract painting. She added outlines of the sea and stars with a stick dipped in mud. When she finished, the picture looked even more beautiful — like a memory fading but still shining. She handed it in with a nervous heart. When her name was announced as the winner, Amina could hardly believe her ears. She walked to the front, her hands shaking. The volunteer teacher handed her the box of colored pencils, saying, “Your picture shows that even broken things can become art.” Amina hugged the box tightly and ran to Sami. She knelt beside him and placed the pencils in his small hands. “For you,” she whispered. Sami’s eyes grew wide, and he smiled for the first time in weeks. That evening, they drew together under a real starry sky — just like the one in her painting. 【写作导语】本文续写需承接原文情节：画被毁后Amina的应对方式，以及获奖后的反应。要体现逆境中的创造力、对弟弟的爱以及温暖结局。 【词汇升级】 - threw away → discard - beautiful → magnificent / dreamy - happy → overjoyed - gave → handed / presented - looked → gazed 【句子升级】 - “Using her fingers, she gently spread the wet colors across the paper, creating a dreamy, abstract painting.” (现在分词作状语，生动描述动作过程) - “That evening, they drew together under a real starry sky — just like the one in her painting.” (破折号引出对照，升华主题，首尾呼应) - “She knelt beside him and placed the pencils in his small hands. ‘For you,’ she whispered.” (动作描写加短句对话，情感真挚) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年5月ORS高一素养检测 英语 本试卷共8页，满分120分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A City Library – Summer Opening Hours The City Library will adjust its opening hours during the summer break (July 1 – August 31).

Here are some science-backed tips. ____16____ Your body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, is highly sensitive to light. When you expose your eyes to natural sunlight in the morning, it signals your brain to stop producing melatonin (褪黑素), the sleep hormone, and to increase alertness. Avoid hitting the snooze button (贪睡按钮). When you snooze, you fall back into a light sleep, which can make you feel more tired when you finally wake up. ____17____ Drink a glass of water as soon as you get up. Overnight, your body becomes slightly dehydrated, which can lead to fatigue. ____18____ Have a consistent wake-up time, even on weekends. Sleeping in on Sundays can disrupt your circadian rhythm and cause “social jetlag”, making Monday mornings especially painful. ____19____ ____20____ Doing light stretches, a few yoga poses, or a short walk can boost blood flow and release endorphins (内啡肽) that energize you naturally. A. Instead, set your alarm for the latest possible time and get up immediately. B. Avoid bright screens an hour before bed. C. Morning exercise can help shake off sleepiness. D. Rehydrating first thing can help restore your energy. E. Get exposure to natural light right after waking up. F. A heavy breakfast is essential for early risers. G.

She had lost her parents during the war and now took care of her younger brother, Sami, who was only six. Every morning, she walked two miles to a makeshift school run by volunteers. One day, the teacher announced a drawing competition. The winner would receive a brand-new set of colored pencils — something Amina had dreamed of for Sami, who loved to draw but only had a broken crayon. Amina worked hard on her drawing, a picture of the sea under a starry sky — the view she remembered from her home in Damascus. When she finished, she looked at it proudly. However, on the day of the competition, as she reached for her drawing, she found it ruined. Water had leaked into her bag overnight, turning the paper into a wet, blurry mess. Tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to give up.
