Citizen science is a new movement which involves members of the public, either singly or in groups, working towards a common goal. Very often, citizen scientists collect, report or analyse data. What makes a citizen scientist? Anyone who contributes their time, effort and whatever resources they have to a scientific research project is a citizen scientist. They come from all walks of life — housewives, retirees, students, sports people, children. There’s no need for a formal or strong scientific background, just passion. How to get involved? If you have a particular hobby, interest or expertise there’s almost certainly a project you can join. Search online for citizen science projects and pick out the ones you like. It could be observing insects, migratory birds, even plates movements; all you have to do is to record and hand in observations. You can use your laptop or even your smartphone to do this — easy! Here is an opportunity from NASA: Space Cloud Watch What you’ll do ◆Watch the sky at sunrise and sunset for noctilucent clouds (夜光云) and shoot them. ◆Upload your photos and observations to a website to contribute to research on Earth’s middle atmosphere. ◆Take notes when noctilucent clouds are absent, so you can report that too! Requirements ◆Time: 10-20 minutes ◆Equipment: Camera, smartphone or GPS receiver ◆Knowledge: No prior knowledge necessary 1. Who can be a citizen scientist? A. A well-educated person. B. A person with scientific passion. C. A person with a scientific background. D. A person with a professional career. 2. What does the Space Cloud Watch require participants to do? A. Observe insects at sunrise. B. Take pictures of clouds. C. Record cloud movements. D. Report data every week. 3. Who is the text most probably intended for? A. Professional scientists. B. Government officials. C. General public. D. Science students. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了公民科学的概念、参与方式以及一个具体的公民科学项目“太空云观测”。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Anyone who contributes their time, effort and whatever resources they have to a scientific research project is a citizen scientist.(任何为科学研究项目贡献时间、精力和资源的人都是公民科学家)”和“There’s no need for a formal or strong scientific background, just passion. (不需要正式或强大的科学背景，只需要热情)”可知，只要有科学热情的人都可以成为公民科学家。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Space Cloud Watch部分中“Watch the sky at sunrise and sunset for noctilucent clouds (夜光云) and shoot them. (在日出和日落时观察天空中的夜光云并拍摄它们)”以及“Upload your photos and observations to a website (将你的照片和观察结果上传到网站)”可知，该活动要求参与者拍摄云的照片。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“Citizen science is a new movement which involves members of the public, either singly or in groups, working towards a common goal. (公民科学是一项新运动，涉及公众成员，无论是个人还是团体，朝着共同目标努力)”以及第二段“Anyone who contributes their time, effort and whatever resources they have to a scientific research project is a citizen scientist. They come from all walks of life — housewives, retirees, students, sports people, children. (任何为科学研究项目贡献时间、精力以及任何资源的人都是公民科学家。他们来自各行各业——家庭主妇、退休人员、学生、运动爱好者、儿童)”可知，本文鼓励普通公众参与科学研究，因此最可能面向普通公众。 B Marion Sheppard felt sorry for herself when she began to lose her sight in her 40s. Since childhood, Sheppard had always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?” After several months of grief and fear, Sheppard resolved to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line dancing class. After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her to be on staff. Sheppard was excited. She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves. 4. Why was Sheppard unwilling to leave her apartment? A. She had a lot of housework to do. B. She had to attend her son at home. C. She was afraid of being looked down upon. D. She was worried about getting involved in accidents. 5. How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick? A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it. B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity. C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool. D. She valued it as something special. 6. Why did the community center refuse Sheppard’s request at first? A. They didn’t have enough space for dance classes. B. They were concerned about the students’ safety. C. They didn’t believe Sheppard could teach well. D. They thought dancing wasn’t suitable for blind people. 7. What did Sheppard’s students learn from her? A. Humor and patience. B. Intelligence and honesty. C. Imagination and creativity. D. Self-respect and self-reliance. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了视力逐渐丧失的Marion Sheppard如何克服恐惧，坚持外出并尝试舞蹈教学，并最终成功在社区中心开设舞蹈课，帮助学生获得尊严和独立的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?” (她担心自己看不见陌生人走近，会在街上被撞倒。事实上，大多数时候，她更担心自己在世人眼中的样子。她总是在想：“如果人们用不同的眼光看我，用不同的方式对待我，该怎么办呢？”)”可知，Sheppard不愿离开公寓，主要是因为担心别人用异样的眼光看待她、区别对待她，即害怕被轻视。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. (她买了一根拐杖，给它取名叫Tyreek，这是她一直打算如果自己有儿子的话，给儿子取的名字。)”可知，Sheppard给拐杖起了一个原本计划给儿子的名字，这体现出她将拐杖视为特殊的存在，而非普通工具。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. (之后，她询问了由Visions运营的曼哈顿社区中心是否可以在那里教课，但她被告知不行，因为对学生来说太危险了。)”可知，社区中心最初拒绝Sheppard的请求是因为他们担心学生的安全。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves. (但Sheppard教给她的学生们的远不止这些。通过不断的鼓励，她还让尊严和独立在学生们心中扎根。在她的课堂上，学生们可以真正做自己。)”可知，Sheppard的学生从她那里学到了自尊和自立。故选D项。 C Cities are often hotter than surrounding areas, a phenomenon known as the heat island effect. Recently, scientists have discovered a similar phenomenon related to rainfall which is called the “urban (城市) rainfall effect”. It means that cities tend to receive more rain than nearby rural (农村) areas. “This is everywhere,” said Dev Niyogi, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin. This difference in rainfall has also grown over the last twenty years as the climate continues to warm. This effect influences all cities, especially dense and rapidly growing ones, many of which already struggle with flooding. Cities can attract rain for several reasons. First, large buildings slow down incoming storms, allowing them to release rain. In addition, the heat from buildings and roads creates warm, moist air that rises, cools, and then falls as rain. “All these factors may contribute to the urban rainfall anomaly (异常现象),” said Xinxin Sui, a graduate student involved in the research. In the United States, cities such as Houston, Miami, and New Orleans are among the most affected and have experienced severe flooding in the past. For their study, the scientists used satellite data to examine rainfall in over 1,000 cities from 2001 to 2020. They found that nearly two-thirds of these cities receive more rain than nearby rural areas. This effect has almost doubled in the past two decades, partly due to urban expansion and rising temperatures. Warmer air can hold more moisture, making rainfall heavier. The researchers also found that the bigger a city’s population is, the larger the gap in rainfall amounts between urban and rural areas. Niyogi suggests that city planners should take these findings seriously and prepare for the increased rainfall to prevent flooding. At the same time, cities have an opportunity to better manage water resources by redirecting extra rainwater underground to refill groundwater supplies for future use. “We should think more about how we want to manage our water resources,” he said, as “there is an opportunity here.” 8. What do we know about the urban rainfall effect? A. It only happens in a few large cities. B. It has remained unchanged in recent years. C. It means cities receive more rain than nearby areas. D. It causes cities to become cooler than nearby areas. 9. Why did the author mention Houston, Miami, and New Orleans in paragraph 2? A. To compare their rainfall with other cities. B. To explain how these cities prevent flooding. C. To show that these cities are the largest in the US. D. To give examples of cities influenced by increased rainfall. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The causes of temperature rise in cities. B. The research findings on urban rainfall. C. The differences between small and large cities. D. The ways the scientists collected research data. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. City planners are ignoring the problem of flooding. B. Increasing rainfall can be turned into something useful. C. Groundwater supplies are already enough in most cities. D. Cities will no longer face groundwater shortages in the future. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“城市降雨效应”，即城市往往比附近的农村地区接收更多降雨这一现象，包括其产生原因、研究情况以及应对建议等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It means that cities tend to receive more rain than nearby rural (农村) areas.(这意味着城市往往比附近的农村地区接收更多降雨。)”可知，城市降雨效应意味着城市接收的降雨比附近地区多。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This effect influences all cities, especially dense and rapidly growing ones, many of which already struggle with flooding.(这种效应影响所有城市，尤其是人口密集和快速增长的城市，其中许多已经在与洪水作斗争。)”以及“In the United States, cities such as Houston, Miami, and New Orleans are among the most affected and have experienced severe flooding in the past.(在美国，休斯顿、迈阿密和新奥尔良等城市是受影响最严重的城市之一，过去曾经历过严重的洪水。)”可知，作者提到休斯顿、迈阿密和新奥尔良是为了举例说明受降雨增加影响的城市。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“For their study, the scientists used satellite data to examine rainfall in over 1,000 cities from 2001 to 2020. They found that nearly two-thirds of these cities receive more rain than nearby rural areas. This effect has almost doubled in the past two decades, partly due to urban expansion and rising temperatures. Warmer air can hold more moisture, making rainfall heavier. The researchers also found that the bigger a city’s population is, the larger the gap in rainfall amounts between urban and rural areas.(在他们的研究中，科学家们使用卫星数据检查了2001年至2020年1000多个城市的降雨量。他们发现，近三分之二的城市降雨量比附近的农村地区多。在过去二十年里，这种效应几乎翻了一番，部分原因是城市扩张和气温上升。温暖的空气可以容纳更多水分，使降雨量更大。研究人员还发现，城市人口越多，城乡降雨量差距越大。)”可知，本段主要介绍了关于城市降雨的研究发现。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“At the same time, cities have an opportunity to better manage water resources by redirecting extra rainwater underground to refill groundwater supplies for future use.(与此同时，城市有机会通过将多余的雨水引入地下，补充地下水供应，以备将来使用，从而更好地管理水资源。)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出降雨量的增加可以转化为有用的东西。 D “I just need you to validate (认可) my feelings.” It’s a phrase constantly heard — and it reveals something fascinating about our cultural moment. Validation has become the currency of care, the thing we believe we need most from others. But what if the deepest human need is to know we matter — regardless of whether others see things our way? Validation came into psychology as a corrective tool. In the mid-20th century, Carl Rogers advocated empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard, reacting against then mainstream practice, which often interpreted, corrected, or reframed clients’ experiences. To him, validation meant: your feelings exist, they make sense within your internal world, and they deserve to be heard. However, as psychological language migrated into (融入) popular culture, validation gradually detached from its clinical roots. It changed into a broader moral expectation: if I feel something, others should validate it. This shift has had profound consequences and validation becomes an exhausting test, a relational chore, a skill to perform. In fact, what most of us are really looking for when we fish for validation is being valued. Being valued does not depend on moment-to-moment agreement, nor does it require constant confirmation. Being valued means being seen as a whole person and accepted regardless of the experience one is having. When someone is valued, they can be corrected without being devalued; they can be disagreed with without feeling rejected. A parent who values their child can say, “I love you, and I’m not buying you that toy.” Validation may ease an emotional state, but being valued shapes the self. Validation can be spoken; value is felt. The exit from endless validation-seeking is clear: learn to distinguish between having emotions and being defined. A mature sense of worth comes from internalized experiences of being valued: by others first, and eventually by yourself. It grows when you can reflect on your emotions, differentiate past from present, and remain solid even when your perceptions are challenged. This is what allows both connection and growth. 12. Why did Carl Rogers stand for validation? A. To follow mainstream opinion. B. To correct patients’ conclusions. C. To make validation a destination. D. To value clients’ inner experience. 13. What does the underlined “this shift” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The unwillingness to reflect. B. The fear of moral expectation. C. The enthusiasm for popular culture. D. The strong desire for full agreement. 14. What does the author agree with about being valued? A. It helps construct self-concept. B. It provides constant agreement. C. It offers psychological security. D. It avoids various forms of correction. 15. What enables people’s connection and growth? A. The constant challenge of validation. B. The pursuit of a realistic sense of self. C. A rejection of internalized experiences. D. A changeable and questioning mindset. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要指出“情感认可”从心理学本义异化为强求他人认同。作者认为人真正渴望的是被珍视，它能塑造自我；人们应摒弃一味求认可，建立成熟稳固的自我价值感。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To him, validation meant: your feelings exist, they make sense within your internal world, and they deserve to be heard.( 对他而言，认可意味着：你的感受是存在的，它们在你的内心世界中是有意义的，而且它们值得被倾听。)”可知，他提出认可正是为了对抗当时主流心理学忽视来访者内心体验的做法。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“It changed into a broader moral expectation: if I feel something, others should validate it.( 它转变成了一个更广泛的道德期望：如果我有某种感受，他人就应该认可它。)”可知，这种转变本质上是从“尊重内心体验”变成了“要求他人完全认同自己的感受”。由此可知，第三段中划线的“这种转变”指的是对完全一致的强烈渴望。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“A parent who values their child can say, “I love you, and I’m not buying you that toy.” Validation may ease an emotional state, but being valued shapes the self. Validation can be spoken; value is felt.( 一位重视自己孩子的家长可以说：“我爱你们，但我不会给你们买那个玩具。”认可能够缓解情绪状态，但被重视却能塑造自我。认可可以以言语表达出来；重视则是内心的感受。)”可推知，作者对于“被重视”这一话题的观点是它有助于构建自我认知。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It grows when you can reflect on your emotions, differentiate past from present, and remain solid even when your perceptions are challenged. This is what allows both connection and growth.( 当你可以反思自己的情绪、区分过去和现在，并在自己的认知受到挑战时仍能保持坚定时，这种价值感就会增强。这既有助于建立联系，也有助于实现成长。)”可知，对现实自我认知的追求让人们建立起联系并实现成长。 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 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。 Poyang Lake: A Paradise for Migratory (迁徙的) Birds On a viewing platform at Poyang Lake, a group of students are excitedly watching thousands of birds flying and resting in the wetlands. This lively scene is the result of China’s great efforts in wetland protection. Poyang Lake, China’s largest freshwater lake, serves as a vital stop on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Every winter, about 700,000 birds of nearly 400 species stay here. This includes most of the world’s Siberian white cranes (白鹤). ____16____ For these migratory birds, the long journey starts in northeast China, passes through many wetlands, and finally ends at this warm lake. To protect the lake and its wildlife, many effective measures have been taken. The reserve now uses high-definition cameras, drones, and AI technology to monitor birds 24 hours a day. ____17____ And this technology helps rangers spot sick birds or illegal activities quickly. ____18____ A complete fishing ban and strict pollution rules have greatly improved the water quality. The government has also set aside specific areas for the birds to find food. With more fish and plants in the lake, the birds now have enough food to survive the winter. Local communities also play an important role. In the past, some villagers made a living by fishing or farming near the lake, which disturbed the birds. ____19____ Many former fishermen have become bird watchers or tour guides. They now realize that a healthy lake brings more visitors and a better life. International support is also key to this success. Projects supported by global organizations train workers and show that protection and development can go together. ____20____ The return of rare birds proves that years of hard work have finally paid off. A. Now, the situation has completely changed. B. This lake is not just a resting place, but an important destination for their survival. C. As a result, the number of tourists visiting the lake has dropped sharply. D. Many countries along the flyway have joined hands to protect the habitats. E. This advanced system collects data without disturbing birds. F. However, technology is not the only solution. G. Nevertheless, the water quality in the lake is still getting worse. 【答案】16. B 17.

For weeks, my team — Maya, Jake, and I — had dreamed of this moment: the annual Market Day, when the school gym would transform into a lively fair of student-run businesses. The past month had been intense. We spent countless hours brainstorming ideas, before we finally focused on “FashionHut” with creative handicrafts. Maya loved herbs. She made candles that smelled like flowers with used jars. Jake, skilled with knots, decided to learn weaving friendship bracelets (手链) from online courses. I later contributed painted wooden keychains. Together, we calculated costs, detailed market strategies, and planned pricing carefully, all of which came down to a ten-page business plan. And the most stressful moment was when we presented our plan to the review committee. Eventually, they approved our $300 startup loan. We jumped for joy in the hallway. We produced over eighty items with reasonable prices: candles at 6, bracelets at 4, keychains at $3. So we needed to sell that many items to repay the loan. “Everything’s perfect,” Maya declared. Watching students flood into the gym, I believed her. But an hour passed. Then another. Our table remained painfully quiet while noises erupted around us. A booth (摊位) named “Game On” had a line of students waiting to play balloon-shooting. Next to them, “Magic Bakery” had sold out of cookies. Students walked past our “FashionHut” with barely a glance. “Maybe our prices are too high,” Jake whispered. “But if we lower prices now, we won’t make enough.” I disagreed. The $300 loan hung over us like a storm cloud. We had signed an agreement to repay the full amount. By the two-hour bell, we had sold exactly two candles and one bracelet. We had two hundred and eighty-four dollars to go. Normally, I avoided talking to strangers. In class, I never raised my hand. But now thinking of the loan, weeks of work, and my friends’ disappointed faces, I wouldn’t want our business to go up in smoke. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath and stepped out from behind our table. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maya and Jake soon joined me, and our booth gradually became crowded. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I took a deep breath and stepped out from behind our table. My hands were shaking, but I forced a smile and walked towards a group of students chatting nearby. “Excuse me,” I said softly, my voice barely audible at first. “We have hand-made candles with flower scent, friendship bracelets and painted keychains — all made by us.” To my surprise, one girl stopped and picked up a candle, her eyes lighting up. “This smells amazing! My mom will love it,” she said, buying two at once. Encouraged, I kept talking to other students, introducing our products’ features and the stories behind them. (97词) Maya and Jake soon joined me, and our booth gradually became crowded. We laughed as we explained how Maya collected herbs for the candles, how Jake practiced weaving bracelets late at night, and how I painted each keychain with different patterns. By the end of Market Day, we had sold almost all our items. Holding the money in our hands, we hugged tightly. Not only did we repay the $300 loan, but we also made a small profit. I looked at my friends, proud of how far we’d come — and proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone.

Citizen science is a new movement which involves members of the public, either singly or in groups, working towards a common goal. Very often, citizen scientists collect, report or analyse data. What makes a citizen scientist? Anyone who contributes their time, effort and whatever resources they have to a scientific research project is a citizen scientist. They come from all walks of life — housewives, retirees, students, sports people, children. There’s no need for a formal or strong scientific background, just passion. How to get involved? If you have a particular hobby, interest or expertise there’s almost certainly a project you can join. Search online for citizen science projects and pick out the ones you like. It could be observing insects, migratory birds, even plates movements; all you have to do is to record and hand in observations. You can use your laptop or even your smartphone to do this — easy! Here is an opportunity from NASA: Space Cloud Watch What you’ll do ◆Watch the sky at sunrise and sunset for noctilucent clouds (夜光云) and shoot them. ◆Upload your photos and observations to a website to contribute to research on Earth’s middle atmosphere. ◆Take notes when noctilucent clouds are absent, so you can report that too! Requirements ◆Time: 10-20 minutes ◆Equipment: Camera, smartphone or GPS receiver ◆Knowledge: No prior knowledge necessary 1. Who can be a citizen scientist? A. A well-educated person. B.

Government officials. C. General public. D. Science students. B Marion Sheppard felt sorry for herself when she began to lose her sight in her 40s. Since childhood, Sheppard had always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?” After several months of grief and fear, Sheppard resolved to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line dancing class. After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her to be on staff. Sheppard was excited. She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves. 4. Why was Sheppard unwilling to leave her apartment? A. She had a lot of housework to do. B. She had to attend her son at home. C. She was afraid of being looked down upon. D. She was worried about getting involved in accidents. 5. How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick? A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it. B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity. C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool. D. She valued it as something special. 6. Why did the community center refuse Sheppard’s request at first? A. They didn’t have enough space for dance classes. B. They were concerned about the students’ safety. C. They didn’t believe Sheppard could teach well. D. They thought dancing wasn’t suitable for blind people. 7. What did Sheppard’s students learn from her? A. Humor and patience. B. Intelligence and honesty. C. Imagination and creativity. D. Self-respect and self-reliance. C Cities are often hotter than surrounding areas, a phenomenon known as the heat island effect. Recently, scientists have discovered a similar phenomenon related to rainfall which is called the “urban (城市) rainfall effect”. It means that cities tend to receive more rain than nearby rural (农村) areas. “This is everywhere,” said Dev Niyogi, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin. This difference in rainfall has also grown over the last twenty years as the climate continues to warm. This effect influences all cities, especially dense and rapidly growing ones, many of which already struggle with flooding. Cities can attract rain for several reasons. First, large buildings slow down incoming storms, allowing them to release rain. In addition, the heat from buildings and roads creates warm, moist air that rises, cools, and then falls as rain. “All these factors may contribute to the urban rainfall anomaly (异常现象),” said Xinxin Sui, a graduate student involved in the research. In the United States, cities such as Houston, Miami, and New Orleans are among the most affected and have experienced severe flooding in the past. For their study, the scientists used satellite data to examine rainfall in over 1,000 cities from 2001 to 2020. They found that nearly two-thirds of these cities receive more rain than nearby rural areas. This effect has almost doubled in the past two decades, partly due to urban expansion and rising temperatures. Warmer air can hold more moisture, making rainfall heavier. The researchers also found that the bigger a city’s population is, the larger the gap in rainfall amounts between urban and rural areas. Niyogi suggests that city planners should take these findings seriously and prepare for the increased rainfall to prevent flooding. At the same time, cities have an opportunity to better manage water resources by redirecting extra rainwater underground to refill groundwater supplies for future use. “We should think more about how we want to manage our water resources,” he said, as “there is an opportunity here.” 8. What do we know about the urban rainfall effect? A. It only happens in a few large cities. B. It has remained unchanged in recent years. C. It means cities receive more rain than nearby areas. D. It causes cities to become cooler than nearby areas. 9. Why did the author mention Houston, Miami, and New Orleans in paragraph 2? A. To compare their rainfall with other cities. B. To explain how these cities prevent flooding. C. To show that these cities are the largest in the US. D. To give examples of cities influenced by increased rainfall. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The causes of temperature rise in cities. B. The research findings on urban rainfall. C. The differences between small and large cities. D. The ways the scientists collected research data. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. City planners are ignoring the problem of flooding. B. Increasing rainfall can be turned into something useful. C. Groundwater supplies are already enough in most cities. D. Cities will no longer face groundwater shortages in the future. D “I just need you to validate (认可) my feelings.” It’s a phrase constantly heard — and it reveals something fascinating about our cultural moment. Validation has become the currency of care, the thing we believe we need most from others. But what if the deepest human need is to know we matter — regardless of whether others see things our way? Validation came into psychology as a corrective tool. In the mid-20th century, Carl Rogers advocated empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard, reacting against then mainstream practice, which often interpreted, corrected, or reframed clients’ experiences. To him, validation meant: your feelings exist, they make sense within your internal world, and they deserve to be heard. However, as psychological language migrated into (融入) popular culture, validation gradually detached from its clinical roots. It changed into a broader moral expectation: if I feel something, others should validate it. This shift has had profound consequences and validation becomes an exhausting test, a relational chore, a skill to perform. In fact, what most of us are really looking for when we fish for validation is being valued. Being valued does not depend on moment-to-moment agreement, nor does it require constant confirmation. Being valued means being seen as a whole person and accepted regardless of the experience one is having. When someone is valued, they can be corrected without being devalued; they can be disagreed with without feeling rejected. A parent who values their child can say, “I love you, and I’m not buying you that toy.” Validation may ease an emotional state, but being valued shapes the self. Validation can be spoken; value is felt. The exit from endless validation-seeking is clear: learn to distinguish between having emotions and being defined. A mature sense of worth comes from internalized experiences of being valued: by others first, and eventually by yourself. It grows when you can reflect on your emotions, differentiate past from present, and remain solid even when your perceptions are challenged. This is what allows both connection and growth. 12. Why did Carl Rogers stand for validation? A. To follow mainstream opinion. B. To correct patients’ conclusions. C. To make validation a destination. D. To value clients’ inner experience. 13. What does the underlined “this shift” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The unwillingness to reflect. B. The fear of moral expectation. C. The enthusiasm for popular culture. D. The strong desire for full agreement. 14. What does the author agree with about being valued? A. It helps construct self-concept. B. It provides constant agreement. C. It offers psychological security. D. It avoids various forms of correction. 15. What enables people’s connection and growth? A. The constant challenge of validation. B. The pursuit of a realistic sense of self. C. A rejection of internalized experiences. D. A changeable and questioning mindset. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 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。 Poyang Lake: A Paradise for Migratory (迁徙的) Birds On a viewing platform at Poyang Lake, a group of students are excitedly watching thousands of birds flying and resting in the wetlands.

For weeks, my team — Maya, Jake, and I — had dreamed of this moment: the annual Market Day, when the school gym would transform into a lively fair of student-run businesses. The past month had been intense. We spent countless hours brainstorming ideas, before we finally focused on “FashionHut” with creative handicrafts. Maya loved herbs. She made candles that smelled like flowers with used jars. Jake, skilled with knots, decided to learn weaving friendship bracelets (手链) from online courses. I later contributed painted wooden keychains. Together, we calculated costs, detailed market strategies, and planned pricing carefully, all of which came down to a ten-page business plan. And the most stressful moment was when we presented our plan to the review committee. Eventually, they approved our $300 startup loan. We jumped for joy in the hallway. We produced over eighty items with reasonable prices: candles at 6, bracelets at 4, keychains at $3. So we needed to sell that many items to repay the loan. “Everything’s perfect,” Maya declared. Watching students flood into the gym, I believed her. But an hour passed. Then another. Our table remained painfully quiet while noises erupted around us. A booth (摊位) named “Game On” had a line of students waiting to play balloon-shooting. Next to them, “Magic Bakery” had sold out of cookies. Students walked past our “FashionHut” with barely a glance. “Maybe our prices are too high,” Jake whispered. “But if we lower prices now, we won’t make enough.” I disagreed. The $300 loan hung over us like a storm cloud. We had signed an agreement to repay the full amount. By the two-hour bell, we had sold exactly two candles and one bracelet. We had two hundred and eighty-four dollars to go. Normally, I avoided talking to strangers. In class, I never raised my hand. But now thinking of the loan, weeks of work, and my friends’ disappointed faces, I wouldn’t want our business to go up in smoke. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath and stepped out from behind our table. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maya and Jake soon joined me, and our booth gradually became crowded. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
