【解析】
【原文】 W: Good evening, everyone. Today I’d like to talk about a project to protect our town’s history. You may not have realized it, but old buildings in our town are disappearing very quickly. We have a row of stone cottages along the river, each of them over 100 years old. Recently, however, developers have been pulling them down to build modern apartments, and the stories behind these old houses are being forgotten. That’s why I started a project called legacy homes. I made hundreds of metal plates, each showing the year when the cottage was built. I gave these plates to the homeowners and they put them on their front doors. Local schoolchildren then researched the history of each cottage and wrote short stories about the people who once lived there. They put these stories next to the metal plates. Luckily, our efforts have paid off. Several old homes have been repaired instead of being destroyed. We plan to do more in the future. We hope to protect more historic buildings and share more old stories with the whole community.

Sixty years after the classic family movie The Sound of Music, fans still flock to Salzburg to explore the origins of the singing Trapp family’s story.
A taste of The Sound of Music
Guests staying at the Hotel Hyperion can have a three-course meal inspired by The Sound of Music — thanks to Michael Daus, the executive chef of Gaumenfreund, the hotel’s on-site restaurant. Part art, part sculpture, and part deconstruction, each component of the meal is a nod to the movie, Alpine culture, or the original Trapp family.
Take a singing bicycle tour
Ideal for a family, Maria’s Bicycles offers a 3. 5-hour singing bicycle tour through all the major movie locations. Photo stops include the Mozart Bridge (where Maria and the children point at their favorite sights), Mirabell Gardens (from the famous “Do-Re-Mi” song), and the Felsenreitschule — the theater where the family sings “So Long” after winning the 1938 Salzburg Summer Festival.
Stay at Schloss Leopoldskron
Fans can check into Schloss Leopoldskron where scenes were filmed, including when viewers see Baron von Trapp and Baroness Schraeder drink pink lemonade, Maria and the children fall out of their boat, and Maria return from the abbey. However, the Venetian ballroom, staircase, and main foyer were reproduced in Hollywood.
Recreate a famous scene
Visitors to Salzburg can also take the Mönchsberg elevator or walk three miles to the Winkler Terrace, located by the Modern Museum of Salzburg. Fans can recreate the “Do-Re-Mi” scene. The view of the Salzach River and the old city center make a perfect backdrop for an Instagram-worthy snapshot.
21. What can guests at the Hotel Hyperion experience?
A. A guided tour of the film locations. B. A dining occasion themed on the movie.
C. A live performance of the movie’s songs. D. Traditional Austrian dishes mentioned in the film.
22. What can we learn about Schloss Leopoldskron?
A. Some of its scenes were recreated in Hollywood.
B. It is now a museum belonging to the Trapp family.
C. Some film sets are not accessible to the public for visit.
D. It was the only filming location for The Sound of Music.
23. Which website is this text most likely from?
A. Http: //www. Art. com/music. B. Http: //www. Economy. com/film.
C. Http: //www. Life. com/destination. D. Http: //www. Geography. com/Salzburg.

As a scientist, Sara Cox realizes the dangers her beloved birds face. As an artist, she wants to help everyone else understand too.
Sara stops walking and points excitedly over the drystone wall into the field beyond. There, walking among the wandering sheep, is a lapwing, the official bird of the North Pennines. “They are brilliant,” Sara says, a smile across her face as she watches the small bird peck grass. Early spring marks the return of lapwings to Teesdale, where Sara’s family has lived for two decades.
Sara is out for one of her regular walks for inspiration, making drafts and mental notes to help her with her work. She specializes in making life-size bird sculptures out of wire, and some of her sculptures are installed on a nature road around Durham Wildlife Trust’s reserve at Low Barns near Bishop Auckland.
“It’s about drawing attention to certain birds,” she says, adding: “A lot of the birds I’ve made have been endangered or are on the red list.”
“I’m very conscious the birds that come up here are dropping in number. The environmental impact of what we do on birds is pretty severe, so anything I can do that makes people feel emotion or interest when they look at a sculpture is good for the environment.”
Sara has science degrees from Aberystwyth, Sheffield and Durham, including one in zoology. But she also has a lifelong love of art and passion for creating things. Chirpy, one of the birds she made, recently spent a few weeks in London as part of the Royal Society of British Artists annual exhibition.
“It was an absolute treat to go down and they displayed him beautifully,” Sara says, “People said to me ‘can you bear to let him go’ and I was thinking ‘yeah, absolutely’, because that’ s the point of making these things.”
24. What can be learned about the lapwing?
A. It is an unusually large-sized bird. B. It has lived in Teesdale for 20 years.
C. It is the favorite pet of Sara’s family. D. It flies back to Teesdale in early spring.
25. Why does Sara go for walks in the countryside?
A. To enjoy nature and relax with her family.
B. To study the behavior of birds for her research.
C. To observe birds and gather ideas for her creation.
D. To count the number of lapwings returning in spring.
26. What does the exhibition of Chirpy in London indicate?
A. Sara’s efforts to get her message across widely.
B. Sara’s desire to commercialize endangered bird art.
C. Sara’s attempt to boost her personal influence in art.
D. Sara’s preference for displaying works in urban gallery.
27. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Why an artist concentrates on making wire birds?
B. Why bird populations are increasingly decreasing?
C. How wire sculptures inspire wildlife appreciation?
D. How a scientist hopes her art will help save birds?
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. D

细节理解题。根据文章第三段的句子“Sara is out for one of her regular walks for inspiration, making drafts and mental notes to help her with her work.(Sara外出进行她定期的散步以获取灵感,做草图和心理笔记以帮助她的工作。)”可知,Sara去乡村散步是为了观察鸟类并为她的创作收集想法。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It was an absolute treat to go down and they displayed him beautifully,” Sara says, “People said to me ‘can you bear to let him go’ and I was thinking ‘yeah, absolutely’, because that’s the point of making these things.(“去那里看展览真是一个绝对的享受,他们把Chirpy展示得非常漂亮,”Sara说,“有人问我‘你能忍心让他走吗?’我在想‘是的,绝对可以’,因为这就是制作这些东西的初衷。”)”可知,Chirpy在伦敦的展览表明Sara努力将她的信息传播得更广泛。故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,特别是第一段中的“As a scientist, Sara Cox realizes the dangers her beloved birds face. As an artist, she wants to help everyone else understand too.(作为一名科学家,萨拉·考克斯意识到她心爱的鸟类面临的危险。作为一名艺术家,她也想帮助其他人理解。)”、第四段中的““It’s about drawing attention to certain birds, ” she says, adding: “A lot of the birds I’ve made have been endangered or are on the red list. ”(“这是为了引起人们对某些鸟类的关注,”她说,“我制作的许多鸟类都是濒危的或被列入红色名录。”)”和第五段“I’m very conscious the birds that come up here are dropping in number. The environmental impact of what we do on birds is pretty severe, so anything I can do that makes people feel emotion or interest when they look at a sculpture is good for the environment.(我非常清楚来这里筑巢的鸟类数量在减少。我们对鸟类的环境影响相当严重,所以任何能让我制作的雕塑让人们产生情感或兴趣的事情,对环境都是有益的。)”可知,文章主要讲述了科学家兼艺术家Sara Cox如何通过创作大型金属丝鸟类雕塑来提高人们对濒危鸟类的关注,并通过艺术作品传达保护环境的信息。因此,最佳标题是“D. How a scientist hopes her art will help save birds?(一位科学家如何希望她的艺术能帮助拯救鸟类?)”。故选D项。
C
Olga Khazan, a writer at the Atlantic magazine, argues that what we think of as our personality is not something innate. In “Me, but Better”, Ms. Khazan records her attempts to change elements of her own personality by adjusting the so-called big-five qualities, such as openness and extroversion (外向).
Ms. Khazan’s goal is to transform herself, over the course of one year, from a disagreeable introvert into a sunnier, livelier, more friendly extrovert. An enjoyable life seems well worth a bit of effort. She forces herself to take risks in improvisational comedy. She sets about throwing parties. She practices mindfulness. She feeds the homeless.
While exploring “the science and promise of personality change”, the author is humorously open about her embarrassing efforts to break away from her familiar self. She admits joylessness and short-temper. Her openness has the effect of getting readers on her side. We’re supporting her and, to be honest, we’re supporting ourselves, too.
Yet let’s say we can: Let’s say we manage to adjust our big-five personality qualities so that we enhance our positive parts and reduce our deficiencies. How would we even know? One of the difficulties that any self-reformer faces is in measuring how much change his or her efforts have achieved. Ms. Khazan gets around this problem by regularly assessing her personality via a particular academic website. She uses the site’s free questionnaire, takes the test again and tracks the changes regularly.
There is a lot of common sense here. Fake it until you make it. Your emotions follow your actions. Also: Other people are paying less attention to you than you imagine. It should be admitted that Ms. Khazan’s stories, though rich in funny real-life examples, is pretty thin on science. But it’s an entertaining read — and encouraging too.
28. What does the underlined word “innate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Naturally present at birth. B. Easily changed over time.
C. Influenced by environment. D. Learned through experience.
29. What challenge do self-reformers commonly face?
A. They need professional instructions to succeed.
B. They always end up returning to their old habits.
C. They feel unsure about the progress of their efforts.
D. They find that personality is too hard to be changed.
30. Which of the following can best describe Ms. Khazan’s writing style?
A. Serious and logical. B. Formal and debatable.
C. Academic and technical. D. Engaging and humorous.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To clarify ways to be more outgoing. B. To review a book on personality change.
C. To explain measurement of personal qualities. D. To summarize methods of personality change.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍奥尔加・卡赞的《Me, but Better》,讲述其改变性格的尝试及书的特点。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“Olga Khazan, a writer at the Atlantic magazine, argues that what we think of as our personality is not something innate. In “Me, but Better”, Ms. Khazan records her attempts to change elements of her own personality by adjusting the so-called big-five qualities, such as openness and extroversion(外向)(奥尔加·卡赞(Olga Khazan)是《大西洋》(Atlantic)杂志的一名作家,她认为我们所认为的个性并非是innate的。在《更好的我》(Me, but Better)一书中,卡赞女士记录了她通过调整所谓的大五人格特质,如开放性和外向性,来改变自己个性要素的尝试)”可知,Khazan女士试图改变自己的性格特质,这表明她认为性格不是与生俱来的东西,可推理出“innate”的意思是“天生的”。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“One of the difficulties that any self - reformer faces is in measuring how much change his or her efforts have achieved(任何自我改革者面临的困难之一是衡量自己的努力取得了多少成果)”可知,自我改革者通常面临的挑战是不确定自己努力的进展情况。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While exploring “the science and promise of personality change”, the author is humorously open about her embarrassing efforts to break away from her familiar self(在探索“人格改变的科学与前景”时,作者幽默地坦然面对自己为摆脱熟悉的自我所做的尴尬努力)”以及最后一段“It should be admitted that Ms. Khazan’s stories, though rich in funny real - life examples, is pretty thin on science. But it’s an entertaining read—and encouraging too(应该承认,卡赞女士的故事虽然有很多有趣的现实生活例子,但在科学依据方面比较薄弱。但这是一篇有趣的读物,也很鼓舞人心)”可知,Khazan女士在讲述自己改变性格的经历时很幽默,并且她的故事富有有趣的生活实例,读起来很有趣,可推理出她的写作风格是引人入胜且幽默的。故选D项。
【31题详解】

D
Nitrogen fertiliser (氮肥) is essential for modern agriculture but carries a heavy environmental price, contributing to water pollution and soil degradation. However, simply reducing its use is not a solution. Crops typically respond to nitrogen shortage by investing more in root growth to search for nutrients, often at the expense of shoot (茎叶) development and grain production. While adaptive in the wild, this root-shoot trade-off limits agricultural productivity.
For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences not only identified the gene responsible, but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low. The breakthrough could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers.
In experiments, the team found that a gene in rice called WRINKLED1a has distinct roles in the shoot and root. In the shoot, it switches on NGR5, a key gene that promotes branching. In the roots, WRINKLED1a supports nitrogen uptake, but also prevents the formation of a protein complex that would otherwise limit root growth. Interestingly, WRINKLED1a does not prevent this protein complex in the shoot, showing that its roles are tissue-specific.
From over 3,000 rice varieties, the team identified a naturally stronger version of the gene and used traditional plant breeding (育种) to cross it into varieties carrying a weaker form. Over three field trials in Hainan and Anhui provinces, China, rice plants with this improved version maintained a more stable root-to-shoot balance across different nitrogen conditions, resulting in a 23.7% yield increase under low fertiliser use and a 19.9% increase under high fertiliser use.
Lead author Dr. Shan Li noted that WRINKLED1a helps rice avoid the usual “more roots, less shoot” situation under nitrogen limitation, supporting stable yields with lower nitrogen inputs. “The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops, such as wheat and corn, can be used to achieve the same outcomes,” she added.
32. Which aspect of the root-shoot trade-off does the new study focus on?
A. Its economic cost. B. Its nutritional demand.
C. Its genetic mechanism. D. Its environmental impact.
33. What can we learn about WRINKLED1a?
A. Its function varies in different tissues.
B. Its effect is restricted to the shoot.
C. It promotes protein complex formation.
D. It reduces nitrogen levels in the roots.
34. What might the study help to do according to the text?
A. Contribute to food diversity. B. Facilitate sustainable farming.
C. Justify nitrogen fertiliser use. D. Advance rice breeding methods.
35. What do Dr. Shan Li’s words suggest?
A. The limitation of the research. B. A challenge in applying the findings.
C. The need to test the outcomes. D. A possible direction for further study.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是中国首颗可重复使用返回式卫星——实践十九号的技术突破及其在空间科学研究中的应用。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:实践十九号卫星于9月27日发射升空,并安全返回地球,取得了多项技术突破。本句已有谓语动词has achieved,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;动词send与主语Shijian-19之间是被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词sent作状语,句首单词首字母需大写。故填Sent。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:实践十九号卫星于9月27日发射升空,并安全返回地球,取得了多项技术突破。a number of是固定短语,意为“许多,大量”。故填a。
【58题详解】
考查可数名词的复数。句意:飞行试验证实了该卫星作为高性能可重复使用空间平台的能力,并达到了所有预期的技术标准。Standard是可数名词,由all可知,空处名词需用复数。故填standards。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:实践十九号卫星重约3500公斤,可根据不同任务需求进行不同配置。本句已有谓语动词has,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;动词weigh与主语satellite之间是主动关系,所以空处需用现在分词weighing作后置定语。故填weighing。
【60题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:长期配置则能够在轨道上停留更长时间,以支持长期实验。be capable of为固定短语,意为“能够”。故填of。
【61题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:凭借高微重力水平和高效性能,实践十九号卫星通常作为空间科学研究的关键工具。由空后typically可知,空处谓语动词需用一般现在时,主语是专有名词Shijian-19,所以空处谓语动词需用单数。故填serves。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它支持微重力科学和空间生命科学等领域的研究,提供及时且可靠的结果。空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词results,rely的形容词为reliable“可靠的”。故填reliable。
【63题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:此外,研究人员利用该卫星进行太空育种实验、测试新技术并推进空间科学实验。use sth. to do sth.为固定短语,意为“使用某物做某事”,所以空处需用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to conduct。
【64题详解】
考查时态。句意:实践十九号卫星还搭载了多个国际合作有效载荷,提升了中国在全球太空探索中的作用。由前文谓语动词used可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时,表示过去发生的动作。故填carried。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:实践十九号卫星的任务是中国更广泛太空计划的一部分,该计划包括深空探测的宏伟计划、天宫空间站的一系列实验,以及可重复使用航天技术的进步。空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是space program,指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,所以空处需用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。

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’d always been the responsible one in our friendship. Jake was brilliant but sometimes seemed absent-minded. As his best friend since kindergarten, it somehow became my job to keep him on track. People even joked that I was his personal assistant — always the one carrying backup pens and reminding him of due dates. But in most cases, I was shy, and my heart beat fast and my palms sweated when I spoke in public.
Jake’s creativity, however, was amazing. One time, he came up with the idea of building a mini solar-powered car. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he sketched out the design on a piece of paper, his pencil moving so fast that I could barely keep up. I watched in amazement as he carefully assembled the parts, his fingers skillfully connecting wires and attaching tiny motors. When the car finally moved under the sunlight, his face lit up with pride. His success was a mix of pure joy and a bit of disbelief — he had never imagined his unique ideas could be so well-received.
His idea won him special innovation awards and honors at school, and he was featured in the local newspaper. Despite his forgetfulness in daily life, his mind was always buzzing with brilliant ideas that had the potential to change things.
When our school announced the science fair, I knew right away we had to join. Jake had the creative ideas, and I could make sure everything actually got done. We decided to build a smart alarm clock — Jake would design the app, and I would take care of the building.
Weeks passed, and Jake kept coming up with cool new features to add. Meanwhile, I spent every afternoon in the garage, putting pieces together, and double-checking our model. The night before the fair, just as I was testing the final version, Jake texted: “Forgot to tell you: I’ve got invited to an art camp tomorrow. You can present without me, right? ”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
My hands froze.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Taking the gold medal from the principal, I instantly realized Jake’s original intention.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 My hands froze. I stared at the screen, not sure whether to be angry or disappointed — maybe both. After everything we’d done together, how could he just leave? The next morning, I carried our project to school alone, stomach tight with nerves. I stood by our model, trying to sound confident while explaining the design to the judges. To my surprise, we won. In the end, the principal walked towards me with a first prize medal in hand and a smile on his face. (82words)
Taking the gold medal from the principal, I instantly realized Jake’s original intention. He hadn’t merely forgotten the science fair. He deliberately stepped back, allowing me to take center stage and shine brightly so that I could overcome my self-doubt speaking in public. Then I felt a mix of gratitude and admiration for him. Not only was our friendship about me keeping him on track, but also about us supporting each other in different ways. Jake’s brilliance and my reliability were a perfect team, and I realized that true friendship is about selflessness and mutual understanding. (83 words)
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者和其朋友Jake之间的友谊与合作。作者一直是他们友谊中负责的一方,而Jake虽然聪明但有时显得心不在焉。Jake具有惊人的创造力,曾提出建造迷你太阳能汽车的想法并成功实现,赢得了学校的创新奖项和荣誉。当学校宣布举办科学展览时,他们决定合作建造一个智能闹钟,Jake负责设计应用程序,作者负责实际建造。然而,在展览前一天,Jake因被邀请参加艺术营而无法出席,留下作者独自完成展览的准备。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“我的手僵住了。”可知,第一段可描写作者因Jake在科学展前缺席而愤怒失望,却不得不独自带项目参赛,过程中紧张不安,最终项目意外获奖,校长为作者颁发一等奖奖章。
②由第二段首句内容“从校长手中接过金牌时,我立刻明白了Jake的初衷。”可知,第二段可描写领悟到Jake缺席科学展是故意让作者突破自我、克服当众发言的自卑,由此对他心生感激与钦佩,进而感悟到真正的友谊是彼此以不同方式互相支持。
2.续写线索:感到愤怒和失望——独自参赛——感到紧张不安——意外获奖——领悟倒Jake的用意——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①盯着:stare at/fix one’s eyes on
②尝试做某事:try to do sth/attempt to do sth
③解释:explain/account for
④克服:overcome/get over
情绪类
①令某人惊讶的是:to one’s surprise/to one’s amazement
②生气的:angry/cross
【点睛】[高分句型1]He deliberately stepped back, allowing me to take center stage and shine brightly so that I could overcome my self-doubt speaking in public.(运用了现在分词作状语,so that引导目的状语从句)
[高分句型2]Jake’s brilliance and my reliability were a perfect team, and I realized that true friendship is about selflessness and mutual understanding.(运用了that引导宾语从句)

Sixty years after the classic family movie The Sound of Music, fans still flock to Salzburg to explore the origins of the singing Trapp family’s story.
A taste of The Sound of Music
Guests staying at the Hotel Hyperion can have a three-course meal inspired by The Sound of Music — thanks to Michael Daus, the executive chef of Gaumenfreund, the hotel’s on-site restaurant. Part art, part sculpture, and part deconstruction, each component of the meal is a nod to the movie, Alpine culture, or the original Trapp family.
Take a singing bicycle tour
Ideal for a family, Maria’s Bicycles offers a 3. 5-hour singing bicycle tour through all the major movie locations. Photo stops include the Mozart Bridge (where Maria and the children point at their favorite sights), Mirabell Gardens (from the famous “Do-Re-Mi” song), and the Felsenreitschule — the theater where the family sings “So Long” after winning the 1938 Salzburg Summer Festival.
Stay at Schloss Leopoldskron
Fans can check into Schloss Leopoldskron where scenes were filmed, including when viewers see Baron von Trapp and Baroness Schraeder drink pink lemonade, Maria and the children fall out of their boat, and Maria return from the abbey. However, the Venetian ballroom, staircase, and main foyer were reproduced in Hollywood.
Recreate a famous scene
Visitors to Salzburg can also take the Mönchsberg elevator or walk three miles to the Winkler Terrace, located by the Modern Museum of Salzburg. Fans can recreate the “Do-Re-Mi” scene. The view of the Salzach River and the old city center make a perfect backdrop for an Instagram-worthy snapshot.
21. What can guests at the Hotel Hyperion experience?
A. A guided tour of the film locations. B. A dining occasion themed on the movie.
C. A live performance of the movie’s songs. D. Traditional Austrian dishes mentioned in the film.
22. What can we learn about Schloss Leopoldskron?
A. Some of its scenes were recreated in Hollywood.
B. It is now a museum belonging to the Trapp family.
C. Some film sets are not accessible to the public for visit.
D. It was the only filming location for The Sound of Music.
23. Which website is this text most likely from?
A. Http: //www. Art. com/music. B. Http: //www. Economy. com/film.
C. Http: //www. Life. com/destination. D. Http: //www. Geography. com/Salzburg.

As a scientist, Sara Cox realizes the dangers her beloved birds face. As an artist, she wants to help everyone else understand too.
Sara stops walking and points excitedly over the drystone wall into the field beyond. There, walking among the wandering sheep, is a lapwing, the official bird of the North Pennines. “They are brilliant,” Sara says, a smile across her face as she watches the small bird peck grass. Early spring marks the return of lapwings to Teesdale, where Sara’s family has lived for two decades.
Sara is out for one of her regular walks for inspiration, making drafts and mental notes to help her with her work. She specializes in making life-size bird sculptures out of wire, and some of her sculptures are installed on a nature road around Durham Wildlife Trust’s reserve at Low Barns near Bishop Auckland.
“It’s about drawing attention to certain birds,” she says, adding: “A lot of the birds I’ve made have been endangered or are on the red list.”
“I’m very conscious the birds that come up here are dropping in number. The environmental impact of what we do on birds is pretty severe, so anything I can do that makes people feel emotion or interest when they look at a sculpture is good for the environment.”
Sara has science degrees from Aberystwyth, Sheffield and Durham, including one in zoology. But she also has a lifelong love of art and passion for creating things. Chirpy, one of the birds she made, recently spent a few weeks in London as part of the Royal Society of British Artists annual exhibition.
“It was an absolute treat to go down and they displayed him beautifully,” Sara says, “People said to me ‘can you bear to let him go’ and I was thinking ‘yeah, absolutely’, because that’ s the point of making these things.”
24. What can be learned about the lapwing?
A. It is an unusually large-sized bird. B. It has lived in Teesdale for 20 years.
C. It is the favorite pet of Sara’s family. D. It flies back to Teesdale in early spring.
25. Why does Sara go for walks in the countryside?
A. To enjoy nature and relax with her family.
B. To study the behavior of birds for her research.
C. To observe birds and gather ideas for her creation.
D. To count the number of lapwings returning in spring.
26. What does the exhibition of Chirpy in London indicate?
A. Sara’s efforts to get her message across widely.
B. Sara’s desire to commercialize endangered bird art.
C. Sara’s attempt to boost her personal influence in art.
D. Sara’s preference for displaying works in urban gallery.
27. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Why an artist concentrates on making wire birds?
B. Why bird populations are increasingly decreasing?
C. How wire sculptures inspire wildlife appreciation?
D. How a scientist hopes her art will help save birds?
C
Olga Khazan, a writer at the Atlantic magazine, argues that what we think of as our personality is not something innate. In “Me, but Better”, Ms. Khazan records her attempts to change elements of her own personality by adjusting the so-called big-five qualities, such as openness and extroversion (外向).
Ms. Khazan’s goal is to transform herself, over the course of one year, from a disagreeable introvert into a sunnier, livelier, more friendly extrovert. An enjoyable life seems well worth a bit of effort. She forces herself to take risks in improvisational comedy. She sets about throwing parties. She practices mindfulness. She feeds the homeless.
While exploring “the science and promise of personality change”, the author is humorously open about her embarrassing efforts to break away from her familiar self. She admits joylessness and short-temper. Her openness has the effect of getting readers on her side. We’re supporting her and, to be honest, we’re supporting ourselves, too.
Yet let’s say we can: Let’s say we manage to adjust our big-five personality qualities so that we enhance our positive parts and reduce our deficiencies. How would we even know? One of the difficulties that any self-reformer faces is in measuring how much change his or her efforts have achieved. Ms. Khazan gets around this problem by regularly assessing her personality via a particular academic website. She uses the site’s free questionnaire, takes the test again and tracks the changes regularly.
There is a lot of common sense here. Fake it until you make it. Your emotions follow your actions. Also: Other people are paying less attention to you than you imagine. It should be admitted that Ms. Khazan’s stories, though rich in funny real-life examples, is pretty thin on science. But it’s an entertaining read — and encouraging too.
28. What does the underlined word “innate” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Naturally present at birth. B. Easily changed over time.
C. Influenced by environment. D. Learned through experience.
29. What challenge do self-reformers commonly face?
A. They need professional instructions to succeed.
B. They always end up returning to their old habits.
C. They feel unsure about the progress of their efforts.
D. They find that personality is too hard to be changed.
30. Which of the following can best describe Ms. Khazan’s writing style?
A. Serious and logical. B. Formal and debatable.
C. Academic and technical. D. Engaging and humorous.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To clarify ways to be more outgoing. B. To review a book on personality change.
C. To explain measurement of personal qualities. D. To summarize methods of personality change.
D
Nitrogen fertiliser (氮肥) is essential for modern agriculture but carries a heavy environmental price, contributing to water pollution and soil degradation. However, simply reducing its use is not a solution. Crops typically respond to nitrogen shortage by investing more in root growth to search for nutrients, often at the expense of shoot (茎叶) development and grain production. While adaptive in the wild, this root-shoot trade-off limits agricultural productivity.
For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers from Nanjing Agricultural University, the University of Oxford, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences not only identified the gene responsible, but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low. The breakthrough could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers.
In experiments, the team found that a gene in rice called WRINKLED1a has distinct roles in the shoot and root. In the shoot, it switches on NGR5, a key gene that promotes branching. In the roots, WRINKLED1a supports nitrogen uptake, but also prevents the formation of a protein complex that would otherwise limit root growth. Interestingly, WRINKLED1a does not prevent this protein complex in the shoot, showing that its roles are tissue-specific.
From over 3,000 rice varieties, the team identified a naturally stronger version of the gene and used traditional plant breeding (育种) to cross it into varieties carrying a weaker form. Over three field trials in Hainan and Anhui provinces, China, rice plants with this improved version maintained a more stable root-to-shoot balance across different nitrogen conditions, resulting in a 23.7% yield increase under low fertiliser use and a 19.9% increase under high fertiliser use.
Lead author Dr. Shan Li noted that WRINKLED1a helps rice avoid the usual “more roots, less shoot” situation under nitrogen limitation, supporting stable yields with lower nitrogen inputs. “The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops, such as wheat and corn, can be used to achieve the same outcomes,” she added.
32. Which aspect of the root-shoot trade-off does the new study focus on?
A. Its economic cost. B. Its nutritional demand.
C. Its genetic mechanism. D. Its environmental impact.
33. What can we learn about WRINKLED1a?
A. Its function varies in different tissues.
B. Its effect is restricted to the shoot.
C. It promotes protein complex formation.
D. It reduces nitrogen levels in the roots.
34. What might the study help to do according to the text?
A. Contribute to food diversity. B. Facilitate sustainable farming.
C. Justify nitrogen fertiliser use. D. Advance rice breeding methods.
35. What do Dr. Shan Li’s words suggest?
A. The limitation of the research. B. A challenge in applying the findings.
C. The need to test the outcomes. D. A possible direction for further study.

I’d always been the responsible one in our friendship. Jake was brilliant but sometimes seemed absent-minded. As his best friend since kindergarten, it somehow became my job to keep him on track. People even joked that I was his personal assistant — always the one carrying backup pens and reminding him of due dates. But in most cases, I was shy, and my heart beat fast and my palms sweated when I spoke in public.
Jake’s creativity, however, was amazing. One time, he came up with the idea of building a mini solar-powered car. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he sketched out the design on a piece of paper, his pencil moving so fast that I could barely keep up. I watched in amazement as he carefully assembled the parts, his fingers skillfully connecting wires and attaching tiny motors. When the car finally moved under the sunlight, his face lit up with pride. His success was a mix of pure joy and a bit of disbelief — he had never imagined his unique ideas could be so well-received.
His idea won him special innovation awards and honors at school, and he was featured in the local newspaper. Despite his forgetfulness in daily life, his mind was always buzzing with brilliant ideas that had the potential to change things.
When our school announced the science fair, I knew right away we had to join. Jake had the creative ideas, and I could make sure everything actually got done. We decided to build a smart alarm clock — Jake would design the app, and I would take care of the building.
Weeks passed, and Jake kept coming up with cool new features to add. Meanwhile, I spent every afternoon in the garage, putting pieces together, and double-checking our model. The night before the fair, just as I was testing the final version, Jake texted: “Forgot to tell you: I’ve got invited to an art camp tomorrow. You can present without me, right? ”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

Taking the gold medal from the principal, I instantly realized Jake’s original intention.

Today i'd like to talk about a project to protect our towns history. You may not have realized IT, but old buildings in our town are disappearing very quickly. We have a row of stone cottages along the river, each of them over one hundred years old. Recently, however, developers have been pulling them down to build modern apartments, and the stories behind these old houses are being forgotten. That's why I started a project called legacy homes. I made hundreds of metal plates, each showing the year when the cottage was built. I gave these plates to the homeowners, and they put them on their front doors. Local school children then researched the history of each cottage and wrote short stories about the people who once lived there. They put these stories next to the meddle plates. Luckily, our efforts have paid off. Several old homes have been repaired. Instead of being destroyed, we plan to do more in the future. We hope to protect more historic buildings and share more old stories with the whole community. Good evening, everyone. Today, i'd like to talk about a project to protect our town's history.
