To fight smartphone distractions in class, Buxton School, a Massachusetts boarding school, tried a special solution. It completed its first academic year with a campus-wide smartphone ban, aiming to improve learning and real social interaction.
The school replaced smartphones with simple “Light Phones” for everyone on campus. These basic devices only allow calls and slow texting — no internet, no apps. The result was a dramatic cultural shift. Class interruptions dropped, and face-to-face contact increased greatly.
At first, students panicked at losing their phones. But most adapted. One senior said people became much more social. While some still secretly bring smartphones onto campus, most agree the environment has improved. The former head of school also noticed more meaningful, natural conversations.
This experiment points to a nationwide problem. Educators everywhere struggle with phones in class. A Rutgers University study revealed that allowing phones in class can lower grades by half a letter or more. Students reported feeling less anxious without constant notifications. Lunch tables, once silent with eyes fixed on screens, now buzzed with laughter and debate. Teachers noted that students participated more actively in discussions and seemed more focused during lessons. One teacher described the shift as “breathing life back into the classroom.”
However, the Buxton solution sparks debate. Some educators argue that an outright ban misses a teaching opportunity. They believe schools should teach responsible technology use instead. A Vermont school advisor said students “didn’t invent the phone,” so schools should include digital literacy in the curriculum. The successful experiment has inspired other schools to consider similar measures. But replicating this model in public schools may be difficult. Critics question whether limited funds should be spent buying devices for every student, rather than on art supplies or journals.
Ultimately, the Buxton experiment is about finding a healthier balance with technology. The results are real. A recent grand party happened without a single screen recording it — only cheers and shared experience. It was a powerful sign of a community re-engaged with the present.
4. What can we know about Buxton School’s solution to smartphone distractions?
A. It adopts an extreme but effective practice.
B. It especially stresses academic progress.
C. It relies on students’ self-discipline to work.
D. It gains wide recognition from educators.
5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Students prefer silence. B. Screens help boost laughter.
C. The practice refreshes classrooms. D. Notifications sharpen concentration.
6. What does the underlined word “replicating” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Rejecting. B. Copying. C. Improving. D. Understanding.
7. What would be a suitable title for the text?
A. Discussions on Digital Literacy B. A Controversial Campus Phone Ban
C. Effective Methods for Better Grades D. Smartphone Ban Revitalizing Campus Life
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了马萨诸塞州一所寄宿学校全面停用智能手机、改用简易功能手机的举措。该做法优化了课堂与校园环境,却也引发教育界争议,同时文中还探讨了这一模式的推广困境,以及人与科技如何在校园中实现良性平衡。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“To fight smartphone distractions in class, Buxton School, a Massachusetts boarding school, tried a special solution. It completed its first academic year with a campus-wide smartphone ban, aiming to improve learning and real social interaction. (为解决课堂上手机分心的问题,马萨诸塞州的巴克斯顿寄宿学校采取了一项特殊举措。该校完成了首个全面禁用智能手机的学年,旨在提升学习效率、增进真实的社交互动。)”及第二段“The school replaced smartphones with simple ‘Light Phones’ for everyone on campus. These basic devices only allow calls and slow texting — no internet, no apps. The result was a dramatic cultural shift. Class interruptions dropped, and face-to-face contact increased greatly. (学校为全体师生统一更换成简易的‘轻便手机’。这类基础设备仅支持通话和慢速短信功能,无法联网、也没有各类应用程序。此举让校园风气发生了巨大转变:课堂受干扰的情况大幅减少,面对面交流也显著增多。)”可知,该校全面禁止智能手机、替换为基础功能机,属于比较极端的做法,但文中明确提到该做法取得了课堂干扰减少、面对面交流增加等实际效果,确实有效。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Teachers noted that students participated more actively in discussions and seemed more focused during lessons. One teacher described the shift as ‘breathing life back into the classroom.’ (老师们指出,学生课堂发言更加积极,听课专注力也有所提升。有一位老师评价道,这一改变‘让课堂重焕生机’。)”可知,禁手机后学生更专注、课堂互动更活跃,说明这个做法让教室焕然一新。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“The successful experiment has inspired other schools to consider similar measures. But replicating this model in public schools may be difficult. Critics question whether limited funds should be spent buying devices for every student, rather than on art supplies or journals. (这项成功的试验促使其他学校开始考虑效仿类似措施,但公立学校想要replicating这一模式却困难重重。批评者提出,学校经费本就有限,是否该把资金花在为每名学生购置新设备上,而不是用于美术用品或杂志,这一点值得商榷。)”可知,划线词前文提到这个成功实验吸引其他学校考虑效仿类似措施,转折后说在公立学校照搬这个模式很难,由此可推测,replicating意思是“复制、照搬”。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“To fight smartphone distractions in class, Buxton School, a Massachusetts boarding school, tried a special solution. It completed its first academic year with a campus-wide smartphone ban, aiming to improve learning and real social interaction. (为解决课堂上手机分心的问题,马萨诸塞州的巴克斯顿寄宿学校采取了一项特殊举措。该校完成了首个全面禁用智能手机的学年,旨在提升学习效率、增进真实的社交互动。)”并结合全文可知, 全文核心介绍了巴克斯顿寄宿学校校园全面禁止智能手机的实验,重点讲了该实验给校园生活、课堂带来的积极改变——让校园重新恢复活力,D选项“Smartphone Ban Revitalizing Campus Life (禁用手机让校园焕发新生机)”能概括文章主旨,适合作为标题。
C
Neighboring groups of birds within the same species can create very different-looking nests, indicating that their nest-building behavior isn’t solely determined by instinct and environmental factors. Instead, these birds appear to learn rules for nest-making, which are then passed down from one generation to the next within a family group. This learning process suggests that bird behavior, particularly in terms of nest construction, is more complex than previously thought.
Researchers conducted a study on nearly 450 nests built by white-browed sparrow weavers in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. These small, brown-and-white birds live in communal groups, and even though these groups were living in close proximity to each other, they built nests with distinct architectural forms. This finding, reported in Science, challenges the concept that nests are purely the product of inborn behavior and suggests that social factors play a significant role.
Maria Cristina Tello-Ramos, who carried out this study at the University of St. Andrews, highlighted that animals, including birds, can develop their own cultures. These cultures are maintained not just through genetic inheritance (基因遗传), but also through social learning. For example, bird songs can exhibit regional “accents,” and birds learn essential survival skills, such as searching for food and migration, from their elders. Similarly, lab studies have shown that inexperienced male zebra sparrows watch more experienced males select nest-building materials and then modify their own choices accordingly. This indicates that nest-building, like other behaviors, can be influenced by observing and learning from others.
Tello-Ramos observed that nests built by bird families in different trees often looked quite different, despite considering environmental factors like temperature, wind speed, and family size. This observation suggests that the differences in nest design were likely due to social learning within family groups, where members imitate each other, thereby creating a tradition of nest-building that is passed down over time.
Additionally, when an outsider is accepted into a family group, it often adopts the nest-building culture of its new group rather than bringing its previous practices with it. This finding, as noted by evolutionary biologist Catherine Sheard from the University of Aberdeen, challenges the traditional belief that animal behavior is entirely genetically driven or merely a response to available materials.
8. What accounts for distinct nest designs among neighboring bird families?
A. In-group social learning and imitation.
B. Inherited biological behavioral features.
C. Differences in surrounding environments.
D. Limited types of available building materials.
9. What traditional belief is overturned by the new study?
A. Bird groups develop unique living habits.
B. Bird behaviors adapt to local environments.
C. Social bonds stabilize bird community groups.
D. Nest building relies merely on nature and supplies.
10. What do young zebra sparrows mainly learn from elders?
A. Safe and suitable nest locations. B. Unique local regional song accents.
C. Proper nest-building material selection. D. Accurate long-distance migration routes.
11. What is the main message the author intends to convey?
A. Nest varieties enrich bird community diversity.
B. Bird cultures go beyond inborn biological rules.
C. Genetic features determine birds’ survival skills.
D. Environmental changes shape bird nest features.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章通过对白眉麻雀织布鸟的研究证实,鸟类筑巢行为不只是受本能、环境和材料影响,族群内的社会学习、模仿与文化传承起到关键作用,这也推翻了动物行为完全由基因决定的传统观点,证明鸟类文化超越了先天生理本能。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Tello-Ramos observed that nests built by bird families in different trees often looked quite different, despite considering environmental factors like temperature, wind speed, and family size. This observation suggests that the differences in nest design were likely due to social learning within family groups, where members imitate each other, thereby creating a tradition of nest-building that is passed down over time. (特洛-拉莫斯观察到,尽管考虑了温度、风速和家族规模等环境因素,但不同鸟类家族在不同树木上筑的巢往往看起来大相径庭。这一观察结果表明,巢穴设计上的差异很可能是由于家族群体内部的社会学习造成的,即家族成员之间相互模仿,从而形成了一种随时间传承下来的筑巢传统。)”可知,不同鸟巢设计的差异来自鸟群内部的社会学习和成员间互相模仿。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Additionally, when an outsider is accepted into a family group, it often adopts the nest-building culture of its new group rather than bringing its previous practices with it. This finding, as noted by evolutionary biologist Catherine Sheard from the University of Aberdeen, challenges the traditional belief that animal behavior is entirely genetically driven or merely a response to available materials. (此外,当一个外来者被接纳到一个家族群体中时,它往往会接受新群体的筑巢文化,而不是将其之前的做法带过来。正如阿伯丁大学的进化生物学家凯瑟琳·希尔德所指出的,这一发现挑战了传统观念,即动物行为完全由基因驱动,或仅仅是对可用材料的被动反应。)”可知,新研究推翻的传统观点是:动物行为完全由基因驱动,或是仅仅对可用材料的被动反应,即“筑巢仅依赖先天本性和可用材料”。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Similarly, lab studies have shown that inexperienced male zebra sparrows watch more experienced males select nest-building materials and then modify their own choices accordingly. This indicates that nest-building, like other behaviors, can be influenced by observing and learning from others. (同样,实验室研究表明,缺乏经验的雄性斑马雀会观察更有经验的雄性选择筑巢材料,然后相应地调整自己的选择。这表明,筑巢行为和其他行为一样,会受到观察和模仿的影响。)”可知,缺乏经验的雄性斑马雀会观察更有经验的雄性选择筑巢材料,然后相应地调整自己的选择,因此年轻斑马雀主要向长辈学习的是合适的筑巢材料选择。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Neighboring groups of birds within the same species can create very different-looking nests, indicating that their nest-building behavior isn’t solely determined by instinct and environmental factors. Instead, these birds appear to learn rules for nest-making, which are then passed down from one generation to the next within a family group. This learning process suggests that bird behavior, particularly in terms of nest construction, is more complex than previously thought. (同一物种中的相邻鸟群可以筑出外观截然不同的巢,这表明它们的筑巢行为并非仅由本能和环境因素决定。相反,这些鸟类似乎学会了筑巢的规则,并在家族中代代相传。这一学习过程表明,鸟类的行为,尤其是筑巢行为,比之前认为的要复杂得多。)”并结合全文可知,本文核心观点是:鸟类的行为(包括筑巢)不只是由先天基因规则决定,还能通过社会学习传承形成自己的族群文化,即鸟类文化超越了先天生物规则。
D
Researchers put forward a seemingly science-fiction idea of creating a “solar screen” in space: mining millions of tons of dust from the moon and shooting the lunar dust to a spot about 1 million miles from Earth, where floating dust grains can block incoming sunlight effectively without disturbing normal astronomical observation.
The “moonshot” concept to address global heating has been proposed by researchers. They suggest firing moon dust from a mass driver into space to block sunlight away from Earth. “A really exciting part of our study was the realization that natural lunar dust grains are just the right size and composition to shield sunlight away from Earth,” said Ben Bromley, a theoretical astrophysicist at the University of Utah, who led the research published in Plos Climate. Since launching dust from the moon consumes far less energy than a launch from Earth, the moonshot proposal enjoys obvious advantages in cost and technical feasibility.
Interfering with Earth’s climate, including intentional sunlight reflection, remains a controversial and relatively minor approach to tackling the climate crisis.
“However, lunar dust has to be continuously transported into space to ease global warming,” Bromley added. Carrying out mining and projection equipment to the moon will be an enormous project. It may also require building a new space station to adjust lunar dust into ideal orbits and maintain shade effect as long as possible, he stressed.
Some opponents of solar geoengineering argue that such attempts distract public attention from the urgent task of shifting from fossil fuels to clean energy, and may bring potential risks to ecological balance. “Nothing should distract us from cutting greenhouse gas emissions on Earth,” Bromley noted. “Our strategy may sound like a crazy moonshot, but we ought to explore all backup options, in case we need more time to complete emission reduction and energy transformation on our planet.”
12. Why is lunar dust chosen for blocking sunlight?
A. It has proper size and makeup.
B. It can stay permanently in space.
C. It can be easily collected on Earth.
D. It costs little to process on the moon.
13. What can be inferred about the moonshot plan?
A. It is intended to replace clean energy.
B. It is suitable for immediate application.
C. It demands long-term continuous input.
D. It is widely acknowledged across the globe.
14. What is Bromley’s attitude toward the solar screen idea?
A. Cautiously supportive.
B. Unconditionally optimistic.
C. Rather unconcerned.
D. Somewhat critical.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Potential risk of solar geoengineering.
B. A creative proposal to cool the planet.
C. Challenges in global emission reduction.
D. Complex tasks of lunar dust orbiting layout.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了一项利用月尘在太空搭建遮阳屏以缓解全球变暖的创新构想,同时阐述了该方案的优势、实施难题、外界争议以及研究负责人对此持有的谨慎支持态度。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A really exciting part of our study was the realization that natural lunar dust grains are just the right size and composition to shield sunlight away from Earth (我们的研究中有一个十分振奋的发现,天然月尘颗粒的大小和物质构成,恰好适合为地球遮挡阳光)”可知,选择月尘来阻挡阳光是由于它的大小和构造都很合适。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“‘However, lunar dust has to be continuously transported into space to ease global warming,’ Bromley added. Carrying out mining and projection equipment to the moon will be an enormous project. It may also require building a new space station to adjust lunar dust into ideal orbits and maintain shade effect as long as possible, he stressed. (布罗姆利补充道:‘但想要缓解全球变暖,就必须持续向太空输送月尘。’他着重指出,将开采和发射设备运送到月球会是一项浩大的工程,或许还需要新建一座空间站,用以调整月尘至理想运行轨道,并尽可能长久地维持遮阳效果。)”可知,该计划需要长期持续输送月尘、维持效果,也就是需要长期持续投入。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Nothing should distract us from cutting greenhouse gas emissions on Earth,’ Bromley noted. ‘Our strategy may sound like a crazy moonshot, but we ought to explore all backup options, in case we need more time to complete emission reduction and energy transformation on our planet.’ (布罗姆利指出:‘我们绝不能因为其他方案,就放松削减地球温室气体排放的工作。我们的方案听起来像是异想天开的大胆尝试,但我们应当探索各类备选方案,以防地球的减排与能源转型工作需要更多时间。’)”可知,布罗姆利明确指出:该方案不能转移人们对本土温室气体减排的注意力,但同时也提出,应当把这个方案作为备份选项探索,以备不时之需,因此他的态度是谨慎支持的。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers put forward a seemingly science-fiction idea of creating a ‘solar screen’ in space: mining millions of tons of dust from the moon and shooting the lunar dust to a spot about 1 million miles from Earth, where floating dust grains can block incoming sunlight effectively without disturbing normal astronomical observation. (研究人员提出了一个看似科幻的设想:在太空中打造一道‘太阳能遮阳屏’。具体方案是从月球开采数百万吨尘埃,将其发射到距离地球约一百万英里的位置。漂浮在此处的月尘颗粒能够有效遮挡照射到地球的阳光,同时不会干扰常规的天文观测。)”并结合全文可知,本文核心内容是介绍一项利用月尘在太空中打造一道“太阳能遮阳屏”以缓解全球变暖的创新构想,B选项“A creative proposal to cool the planet. (一项为地球降温的创意提案。)”符合主旨。
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。
You’ve always desired to be a professional artist. At last, this dream may become a reality, and you’re creating a portfolio to submit to art programs. But as the application deadline approaches, you suddenly find yourself unmotivated and avoiding the artwork altogether. ____16____
Why does motivation seem so unpredictable? And what even is it in the first place? Psychologists define motivation as the urge to initiate and maintain a particular behavior. ____17____ And knowing the source of that motivation is particularly important when it comes to understanding how to maintain it. These motivational forces generally fall into two broad categories: internal and external.
Internal motivation is involved when you experience an activity as an end in itself. ____18____ External motivation means pursuing a task for a reward, like getting paid. But such rewards are surprisingly short-lived. For instance, a study found that those focused on New Year’s resolution outcomes — driven by external motivation — were less likely to stick to them.
However, what predicted persistence was the extent to which a person enjoyed pursuing their goals. Choose courses you truly enjoy, and you will be far more likely to stay committed. ____19____ Workout courses designed merely to build certain muscles cannot keep people engaged for long. Years of psychology research have shown that high levels of internal motivation — for school, a job, or an exercise class — are more likely to keep you engaged in the long run.
____20____ And sometimes, no matter how passionate you are about a goal or hobby, finding the motivation to actually do it can be difficult. But there are things you can do to increase your drive, even when it feels impossible. Focus on building internal motivation by making the task more fun in the moment.
A. Motivation is amazing.
B. Your motivation is fading!
C. Motivation is truly complicated.
D. Take playing video games for example.
E. Here is how your motivation functions in general.
F. In other words, it’s the energy that drives you to do something.
G. Similarly, sticking to an exercise routine also relies on personal interest.
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了动机的定义、分类,并通过实例论证内在动机更利于长期坚持,同时指出动机本身很复杂,也给出了提升动力的办法。
【16题详解】
根据前文“You’ve always desired to be a professional artist. At last, this dream may become a reality, and you’re creating a portfolio to submit to art programs. But as the application deadline approaches, you suddenly find yourself unmotivated and avoiding the artwork altogether. (你一直渴望成为一名职业艺术家。如今,这个梦想终于有望成真,你正在整理作品集,准备递交艺术类项目申请。可就在申请截止日期日益临近时,你突然变得毫无干劲,干脆不再进行创作。)”可知,前文讲述临近截止日期时突然失去动力、不愿创作,B选项“Your motivation is fading! (你的动力正在消退!)”承接上文,符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Why does motivation seem so unpredictable? And what even is it in the first place? Psychologists define motivation as the urge to initiate and maintain a particular behavior. (为何动力似乎如此难以捉摸?首先,动力究竟是什么?心理学家将动力定义为发起并坚持某种特定行为的内在渴望。)”及后文“And knowing the source of that motivation is particularly important when it comes to understanding how to maintain it. These motivational forces generally fall into two broad categories: internal and external. (在探讨如何保持这种动力时,了解其来源尤为重要。这些动力通常可分为两大类:内在动机和外在动机。)”可知,前文给出动机的心理学定义,F选项“In other words, it’s the energy that drives you to do something. (换句话说,它就是驱动你做事的能量。)”是对定义的同义解释,衔接后文对动机来源的说明,逻辑通顺。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Internal motivation is involved when you experience an activity as an end in itself. (当你将某项活动本身视为目的时,就涉及到了内在动机。)”及后文“External motivation means pursuing a task for a reward, like getting paid. But such rewards are surprisingly short-lived. For instance, a study found that those focused on New Year’s resolution outcomes — driven by external motivation — were less likely to stick to them. (外在动机意味着为了奖励而完成任务,比如获得报酬。但这种奖励的持续时间出奇地短。例如,一项研究发现,那些受外在动机驱使而专注于新年决心成果的人,坚持这些决心可能性较小。)”可知,本段介绍内在动机,前文说明内在动机是把活动本身当作目标,D选项“Take playing video games for example. (以玩电子游戏为例。)”举例佐证观点,衔接自然,引出后文对外部动机的介绍。
【19题详解】
根据前文“However, what predicted persistence was the extent to which a person enjoyed pursuing their goals. Choose courses you truly enjoy, and you will be far more likely to stay committed. (然而,一个人对追求目标的享受程度才是决定其坚持程度的关键。选择你真正喜欢的课程,你坚持下去的可能性就会大得多。)”及后文“Workout courses designed merely to build certain muscles cannot keep people engaged for long. Years of psychology research have shown that high levels of internal motivation — for school, a job, or an exercise class — are more likely to keep you engaged in the long run. (仅仅为了锻炼特定肌肉而设计的健身课程无法让人们长时间保持兴趣。多年的心理学研究表明,从长远来看,高度的内在动机——无论是对于学业、工作还是健身课程——更有可能让你保持投入。)”可知,前文提到选择喜欢的课程更易坚持,后文举例健身课程,G选项“Similarly, sticking to an exercise routine also relies on personal interest. (同样,坚持锻炼计划也依赖个人兴趣。)”承上启下,衔接课程与健身的两个例子,符合逻辑。
【20题详解】
根据后文“And sometimes, no matter how passionate you are about a goal or hobby, finding the motivation to actually do it can be difficult. But there are things you can do to increase your drive, even when it feels impossible. Focus on building internal motivation by making the task more fun in the moment. (有时候,无论你对某个目标或爱好多么充满热情,要找到实际去做的动力却很难。但即使感觉不可能,你仍可以做一些事情来增强动力。专注于通过让任务在当下变得更有趣来建立内在动机。)”可知,后文指出哪怕对目标充满激情,也很难找到行动的动力,C选项“Motivation is truly complicated. (动机真的很复杂。)”引出下文对动机获取难点的说明,衔接合理。

47. 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。
Walking my dog Max around the neighbourhood at dusk was always the most comforting moment of my day. Bathed in the warm golden sunlight, the whole community lay quiet and peaceful. “What a lovely afternoon,” I murmured softly, stroking his soft head. Max responded with a cheerful bark, pulling gently at his lead, his bright eyes scanning the surroundings eagerly, always ready to greet every kind stranger he came across. Despite his wolf-like appearance, he had the gentlest soul, sensitive to every slight change around him and endlessly affectionate to humans.
David and I adopted Max in March 2021. He soon adapted to our family and brought us endless happiness. Though playful and occasionally naughty, he was always adorable and lovely. At eighteen months old, he grew into my loyal and energetic companion. Familiar with the neighbourhood, he would walk with me daily. On that peaceful golden afternoon, we finished our routine walk and headed home slowly.
We were merely two hundred metres from our doorstep when a sudden, sharp crash broke the tranquil atmosphere. Before I could process what had happened, Max froze abruptly. His ears pricked up sharply, and his whole body tensed with alertness. Following his fixed gaze, I caught sight of a heart-stopping scene: an elderly woman riding an electric bike had lost balance completely. The bike slid violently across the pavement before tipping over, and she fell heavily onto the roadside. Thick groups of trees and bushes half-screened her weak figure, leaving her lying motionless on the ground, hidden from potential passers-by.
The residential street was strangely quiet at that hour, with not a single pedestrian in sight. Sensing the approaching danger enveloping the stranger, Max let out urgent, sharp barks, pulling fiercely on the lead as if begging me to hurry over. Rushing forward, I knelt down beside the woman and was struck with concern. A fresh bleeding wound stretched across her forehead, and dizziness from a mild head injury left her barely able to utter a word or lift herself up. Though no severe broken bones were visible, her pale face and weak breathing clearly exposed her critical condition.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“Hold on, please; help is on the way!” I whispered gently.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon, an ambulance sped to the spot, followed by several police officers.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“Hold on, please; help is on the way!” I whispered gently. I quickly dialed 120 for emergency help, then pressed my clean scarf to the woman’s wound to slow the bleeding. I spread my coat under her head to keep her away from the cold ground. Max stopped urgent barking, squatting quietly beside us. He softly nudged the woman’s hand with his head, as if comforting her, his eyes soft with concern. I stayed by her side, talking gently to keep her conscious until the rescue team arrived.
Soon, an ambulance sped to the spot, followed by several police officers. The medical workers quickly wrapped the woman’s wound and carried her onto the ambulance. I told police the whole process and passed on the woman’s family contact I found from her phone. A few days later, the woman’s family visited my home to express sincere gratitude to Max and me, saying she had recovered well and was out of danger. I felt deeply moved: this gentle dog’s kindness and sensitivity had truly saved a life that afternoon.

Supplies
Gloves, trash pickers, and rubbish bags.

To fight smartphone distractions in class, Buxton School, a Massachusetts boarding school, tried a special solution. It completed its first academic year with a campus-wide smartphone ban, aiming to improve learning and real social interaction.
The school replaced smartphones with simple “Light Phones” for everyone on campus. These basic devices only allow calls and slow texting — no internet, no apps. The result was a dramatic cultural shift. Class interruptions dropped, and face-to-face contact increased greatly.
At first, students panicked at losing their phones. But most adapted. One senior said people became much more social. While some still secretly bring smartphones onto campus, most agree the environment has improved. The former head of school also noticed more meaningful, natural conversations.
This experiment points to a nationwide problem. Educators everywhere struggle with phones in class. A Rutgers University study revealed that allowing phones in class can lower grades by half a letter or more. Students reported feeling less anxious without constant notifications. Lunch tables, once silent with eyes fixed on screens, now buzzed with laughter and debate. Teachers noted that students participated more actively in discussions and seemed more focused during lessons. One teacher described the shift as “breathing life back into the classroom.”
However, the Buxton solution sparks debate. Some educators argue that an outright ban misses a teaching opportunity. They believe schools should teach responsible technology use instead. A Vermont school advisor said students “didn’t invent the phone,” so schools should include digital literacy in the curriculum. The successful experiment has inspired other schools to consider similar measures. But replicating this model in public schools may be difficult. Critics question whether limited funds should be spent buying devices for every student, rather than on art supplies or journals.
Ultimately, the Buxton experiment is about finding a healthier balance with technology. The results are real. A recent grand party happened without a single screen recording it — only cheers and shared experience. It was a powerful sign of a community re-engaged with the present.
4. What can we know about Buxton School’s solution to smartphone distractions?

Neighboring groups of birds within the same species can create very different-looking nests, indicating that their nest-building behavior isn’t solely determined by instinct and environmental factors. Instead, these birds appear to learn rules for nest-making, which are then passed down from one generation to the next within a family group. This learning process suggests that bird behavior, particularly in terms of nest construction, is more complex than previously thought.
Researchers conducted a study on nearly 450 nests built by white-browed sparrow weavers in the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. These small, brown-and-white birds live in communal groups, and even though these groups were living in close proximity to each other, they built nests with distinct architectural forms. This finding, reported in Science, challenges the concept that nests are purely the product of inborn behavior and suggests that social factors play a significant role.
Maria Cristina Tello-Ramos, who carried out this study at the University of St. Andrews, highlighted that animals, including birds, can develop their own cultures. These cultures are maintained not just through genetic inheritance (基因遗传), but also through social learning. For example, bird songs can exhibit regional “accents,” and birds learn essential survival skills, such as searching for food and migration, from their elders. Similarly, lab studies have shown that inexperienced male zebra sparrows watch more experienced males select nest-building materials and then modify their own choices accordingly. This indicates that nest-building, like other behaviors, can be influenced by observing and learning from others.
Tello-Ramos observed that nests built by bird families in different trees often looked quite different, despite considering environmental factors like temperature, wind speed, and family size. This observation suggests that the differences in nest design were likely due to social learning within family groups, where members imitate each other, thereby creating a tradition of nest-building that is passed down over time.
Additionally, when an outsider is accepted into a family group, it often adopts the nest-building culture of its new group rather than bringing its previous practices with it. This finding, as noted by evolutionary biologist Catherine Sheard from the University of Aberdeen, challenges the traditional belief that animal behavior is entirely genetically driven or merely a response to available materials.
8. What accounts for distinct nest designs among neighboring bird families?
A. In-group social learning and imitation.
B. Inherited biological behavioral features.
C. Differences in surrounding environments.
D. Limited types of available building materials.
9. What traditional belief is overturned by the new study?
A. Bird groups develop unique living habits.
B. Bird behaviors adapt to local environments.
C. Social bonds stabilize bird community groups.
D. Nest building relies merely on nature and supplies.
10. What do young zebra sparrows mainly learn from elders?
A. Safe and suitable nest locations. B. Unique local regional song accents.
C. Proper nest-building material selection. D. Accurate long-distance migration routes.
11. What is the main message the author intends to convey?
A. Nest varieties enrich bird community diversity.
B. Bird cultures go beyond inborn biological rules.
C. Genetic features determine birds’ survival skills.
D. Environmental changes shape bird nest features.

Researchers put forward a seemingly science-fiction idea of creating a “solar screen” in space: mining millions of tons of dust from the moon and shooting the lunar dust to a spot about 1 million miles from Earth, where floating dust grains can block incoming sunlight effectively without disturbing normal astronomical observation.
The “moonshot” concept to address global heating has been proposed by researchers. They suggest firing moon dust from a mass driver into space to block sunlight away from Earth. “A really exciting part of our study was the realization that natural lunar dust grains are just the right size and composition to shield sunlight away from Earth,” said Ben Bromley, a theoretical astrophysicist at the University of Utah, who led the research published in Plos Climate. Since launching dust from the moon consumes far less energy than a launch from Earth, the moonshot proposal enjoys obvious advantages in cost and technical feasibility.
Interfering with Earth’s climate, including intentional sunlight reflection, remains a controversial and relatively minor approach to tackling the climate crisis.
“However, lunar dust has to be continuously transported into space to ease global warming,” Bromley added. Carrying out mining and projection equipment to the moon will be an enormous project. It may also require building a new space station to adjust lunar dust into ideal orbits and maintain shade effect as long as possible, he stressed.
Some opponents of solar geoengineering argue that such attempts distract public attention from the urgent task of shifting from fossil fuels to clean energy, and may bring potential risks to ecological balance. “Nothing should distract us from cutting greenhouse gas emissions on Earth,” Bromley noted. “Our strategy may sound like a crazy moonshot, but we ought to explore all backup options, in case we need more time to complete emission reduction and energy transformation on our planet.”
12. Why is lunar dust chosen for blocking sunlight?
A. It has proper size and makeup.
B. It can stay permanently in space.
C. It can be easily collected on Earth.
D. It costs little to process on the moon.
13. What can be inferred about the moonshot plan?
A. It is intended to replace clean energy.
B. It is suitable for immediate application.
C. It demands long-term continuous input.
D. It is widely acknowledged across the globe.
14. What is Bromley’s attitude toward the solar screen idea?
A. Cautiously supportive.
B. Unconditionally optimistic.
C. Rather unconcerned.
D. Somewhat critical.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Potential risk of solar geoengineering.
B. A creative proposal to cool the planet.
C. Challenges in global emission reduction.
D. Complex tasks of lunar dust orbiting layout.

You’ve always desired to be a professional artist. At last, this dream may become a reality, and you’re creating a portfolio to submit to art programs. But as the application deadline approaches, you suddenly find yourself unmotivated and avoiding the artwork altogether. ____16____
Why does motivation seem so unpredictable? And what even is it in the first place? Psychologists define motivation as the urge to initiate and maintain a particular behavior. ____17____ And knowing the source of that motivation is particularly important when it comes to understanding how to maintain it. These motivational forces generally fall into two broad categories: internal and external.
Internal motivation is involved when you experience an activity as an end in itself. ____18____ External motivation means pursuing a task for a reward, like getting paid. But such rewards are surprisingly short-lived. For instance, a study found that those focused on New Year’s resolution outcomes — driven by external motivation — were less likely to stick to them.
However, what predicted persistence was the extent to which a person enjoyed pursuing their goals. Choose courses you truly enjoy, and you will be far more likely to stay committed. ____19____ Workout courses designed merely to build certain muscles cannot keep people engaged for long. Years of psychology research have shown that high levels of internal motivation — for school, a job, or an exercise class — are more likely to keep you engaged in the long run.
____20____ And sometimes, no matter how passionate you are about a goal or hobby, finding the motivation to actually do it can be difficult. But there are things you can do to increase your drive, even when it feels impossible. Focus on building internal motivation by making the task more fun in the moment.
A. Motivation is amazing.
B. Your motivation is fading!
C. Motivation is truly complicated.
D. Take playing video games for example.
E. Here is how your motivation functions in general.
F. In other words, it’s the energy that drives you to do something.
G. Similarly, sticking to an exercise routine also relies on personal interest.

____27____ my unpolished papers, Mother preserved all flawlessly and eventually inquired of Mrs. White about her ____28____ to edit my writing. She ____29____ gently, “Young children are at the initial stage of cultivating ____30____ affection for language. I spare young zeal from harsh red marks. Fundamental spelling and grammar competencies can be polished ____31____ through long-term accumulation, whereas pure fascination with language and the inner ____32____ to create might vanish permanently once lost.”
Now, I profoundly recognize how ____33____ and insightful her decision truly was. Her deliberate ____34____ of rigid red corrections allowed my enthusiasm for self-expression to grow freely. It is Mrs. White who has ____35____ me with a timeless truth: Life isn’t pretty. It’s beautiful.

47. 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。
Walking my dog Max around the neighbourhood at dusk was always the most comforting moment of my day. Bathed in the warm golden sunlight, the whole community lay quiet and peaceful. “What a lovely afternoon,” I murmured softly, stroking his soft head. Max responded with a cheerful bark, pulling gently at his lead, his bright eyes scanning the surroundings eagerly, always ready to greet every kind stranger he came across. Despite his wolf-like appearance, he had the gentlest soul, sensitive to every slight change around him and endlessly affectionate to humans.
David and I adopted Max in March 2021. He soon adapted to our family and brought us endless happiness. Though playful and occasionally naughty, he was always adorable and lovely. At eighteen months old, he grew into my loyal and energetic companion. Familiar with the neighbourhood, he would walk with me daily. On that peaceful golden afternoon, we finished our routine walk and headed home slowly.
We were merely two hundred metres from our doorstep when a sudden, sharp crash broke the tranquil atmosphere. Before I could process what had happened, Max froze abruptly. His ears pricked up sharply, and his whole body tensed with alertness. Following his fixed gaze, I caught sight of a heart-stopping scene: an elderly woman riding an electric bike had lost balance completely. The bike slid violently across the pavement before tipping over, and she fell heavily onto the roadside. Thick groups of trees and bushes half-screened her weak figure, leaving her lying motionless on the ground, hidden from potential passers-by.
The residential street was strangely quiet at that hour, with not a single pedestrian in sight. Sensing the approaching danger enveloping the stranger, Max let out urgent, sharp barks, pulling fiercely on the lead as if begging me to hurry over. Rushing forward, I knelt down beside the woman and was struck with concern. A fresh bleeding wound stretched across her forehead, and dizziness from a mild head injury left her barely able to utter a word or lift herself up. Though no severe broken bones were visible, her pale face and weak breathing clearly exposed her critical condition.
