Nealy used to be afraid of chickens as a young child. Now she spends hours after school collecting their eggs and cleaning the coop (鸡舍) for the school’s five hens. And though she says she is never an outdoorsy type, she feeds them their worm meals as well. For her, the chickens provide structure after school and make her very interested in agriculture. Now she can’t imagine adulthood without chickens involved. She says when she grows up, she plans to be “a lawyer that owns chickens”. The chicken program at Whitman started about a year ago, when after-school program specialist Lee Maguire planned a month-long embryo (胚胎) development program for kids to learn about biology. Throughout the school year, they’ve observed students gaining not only companionship from the animals but some life skills. The students replenish the feed supply — which costs about $25 for 50 pounds — with money from selling some of the eggs the chickens produce at $5 to $10 a dozen, making the project self-sustaining. “Egg prices soared, making it a great deal,” said Maguire, “and it teaches sustainability.” The chickens’ calming presence on campus is an advantage of the program that the school’s social workers and counselors (辅导员) quickly picked up on as well. They sometimes accompany struggling students outside to the coop to help them calm down or sort through their feelings. “It’s a moment that they don’t have to think about housing insecurity, food insecurity, whether their parents are going to get deployed, or how they’re going to have to improve their grades because they’re struggling,” he said. “The chickens don’t judge. They just love them. It’s a peaceful escape.” As school ends, students head home to prepare for high school, while the chickens stay with Maguire for the summer. But first, he has a surprise he’s going to let the kids in on soon. “I bought more baby chicks,” he said. “I got them eight more and I’m looking forward to boosting my students’ learning interest further.” 4. What can be learned from the story of Maicy Nealy? A. Her career choices through animal care. B. Her professional farming skill development. C. Her transformation from fear to lifelong passion. D. Her strong companionship with outdoor animals. 5. Why did Maguire introduce the chicken program at first? A. To improve students’ teamwork skills in class. B. To help students deal with employment problems. C. To create a sustainable food source for the school. D. To provide hands-on science learning experiences. 6. What impressed the school counselors about the program? A. Its potential to generate school income. B. Its healing value for troubled students. C. Its improvement in academic performance. D. Its popularity among small animal lovers. 7. What does the arrival of the new chicks symbolize? A. The program’s financial success. B. The necessity of animal care. C. The advanced feeding techniques. D. The new round of learning experience. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了沃尔特·惠特曼初中通过养鸡项目让学生获得生活技能、学习科学知识并帮助问题学生平静情绪的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Nealy used to be afraid of chickens as a young child. Now she spends hours after school collecting their eggs and cleaning the coop (鸡舍) for the school’s five hens. And though she says she is never an outdoorsy type, she feeds them their worm meals as well. For her, the chickens provide structure after school and make her very interested in agriculture. Now she can’t imagine adulthood without chickens involved. She says when she grows up, she plans to be “a lawyer that owns chickens”.(Nealy小时候很怕鸡。现在，她放学后花几个小时收集鸡蛋，并为学校的五只母鸡打扫鸡舍。尽管她说自己从来都不是一个喜欢户外活动的人，但她也会给它们喂虫子。对她来说，鸡为她的课后生活提供了框架，使她对农业非常感兴趣。现在她无法想象没有鸡的成年生活。她说，当她长大后，她计划成为一名“养鸡的律师”。)”可知，从Maicy Nealy的故事中可以了解到她从害怕鸡到对鸡充满热情的转变。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The chicken program at Whitman started about a year ago, when after-school program specialist Lee Maguire planned a month-long embryo (胚胎) development program for kids to learn about biology.(惠特曼的养鸡项目大约始于一年前，当时课后项目专家Lee Maguire计划了一个为期一个月的胚胎发育项目，让孩子们学习生物学。)”可知，Maguire最初引入养鸡项目是为了提供实践性的科学学习体验。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The chickens’ calming presence on campus is an advantage of the program that the school’s social workers and counselors (辅导员) quickly picked up on as well. They sometimes accompany struggling students outside to the coop to help them calm down or sort through their feelings.(鸡在校园里的平静存在是该项目的一个优势，学校的社会工作者和辅导员也很快注意到了这一点。他们有时会陪那些陷入困境的学生到鸡舍外面，帮助他们冷静下来或理清自己的情绪。)”可知，让学校辅导员印象深刻的是该项目对问题学生的治愈价值。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I bought more baby chicks,” he said. “I got them eight more and I’m looking forward to boosting my students’ learning interest further.”(“我买了更多的小鸡，”他说。“我又买了八只，我期待着进一步提高学生的学习兴趣。”)”可知，新小鸡的到来象征着新一轮的学习体验。故选D。 C When we think about exercise, we often think about building muscle or losing weight. However, a revolutionary shift is happening in sports science, where researchers are increasingly focusing on what exercise does for the brain. The emerging evidence suggests that physical activity is one of the most powerful tools we have to develop the function of our most vital organ. The most immediate benefit of exercise is a dramatic increase in focus and cognitive speed. Studies from the University of British Columbia show that just fifteen minutes of moderate exercise, such as a quick walk, can significantly improve the functions like decision-making and attention span. This happens because exercise stimulates the release of key neurotransmitters (神经递质) — including dopamine and norepinephrine — which are chemicals that prepare the brain for learning and help us filter distractions. For students hitting the books, a quick workout might be more effective than a cup of coffee. Beyond immediate focus, exercise acts as a powerful long-term investment in brain health. It is understood to be a powerful driver of neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form and reorganize connections, especially in response to learning. Aerobic activities like running or swimming have been shown to increase the production of a protein called BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). Often described as “fuel for the brain,” BDNF supplies food to existing neurons (神经细胞) and encourages the growth of new ones, creating a more resilient and adaptable brain. This process is crucial for long-term memory and may even help delay age-related cognitive decline. Most importantly, exercise is a powerful enemy of stress. Physical activity normalizes the body's stress response systems. It lowers resting heart rate and cortisol(皮质醇) levels while releasing endorphins and endocannabinoids — the body's natural mood promoters. This combination not only provides the well-known “runner's high” but also builds a biological absorbing mat against stress. In an era where mental health challenges are on the rise, exercise is not just a physical activity but also a crucial component of mental well-being. It helps build a brain that is not only smarter and faster, but also calmer. 8. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To prove that exercise improves our brains. B. To explain the physical benefits of regular sports. C. To compare physical and mental benefits of sports. D. To explain the biological principle of our brains. 9. How does exercise improve focus directly? A. Exercise builds a biological defence against stress. B. Exercise strengthens the muscles of the brain cells. C. Exercise encourages the body to produce what blocks distractions. D. Exercise helps us to delay the process of age-related cognitive decline. 10. Why is BDNF referred to as "fuel for the brain"? A. Because it feeds the cells and helps regenerate cells. B. Because it is produced in large quantities. C. Because it lowers our temperature and heart rate. D. Because it is generated after aerobic exercise. 11. What does the underlined part mean in the last paragraph? A. Elements in speeding muscle building. B. Chemicals that may improve our emotion. C. Negative thoughts from stress and pressure. D. Medical treatment for severe anxiety disorders. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍体育科学领域的新转变，即研究聚焦于运动对大脑的作用，阐述运动能从提高专注力、促进大脑健康及对抗压力等方面改善大脑功能。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, a revolutionary shift is happening in sports science, where researchers are increasingly focusing on what exercise does for the brain. The emerging evidence suggests that physical activity is one of the most powerful tools we have to develop the function of our most vital organ.”(然而，体育科学领域正在发生一场革命性的转变，研究人员越来越关注运动对大脑的作用。新出现的证据表明，体育活动是我们发展这个最重要器官功能的最有力工具之一)以及后文对运动给大脑带来各种益处的阐述可知，文章目的是证明运动能改善我们的大脑。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This happens because exercise stimulates the release of key neurotransmitters(神经递质) — including dopamine and norepinephrine — which are chemicals that prepare the brain for learning and help us filter distractions.(这是因为运动刺激了关键神经递质的释放，包括多巴胺和去甲肾上腺素，这些化学物质使大脑为学习做好准备，并帮助我们过滤干扰)”可知，运动通过促使身体产生能阻挡干扰的物质，从而直接提高专注力。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Often described as “fuel for the brain,” BDNF supplies food to existing neurons (神经细胞) and encourages the growth of new ones, creating a more resilient and adaptable brain.(BDNF通常被称为“大脑的燃料”，它为现有的神经元提供营养，并促进新神经元的生长，从而打造一个更具弹性和适应性的大脑)”可知，BDNF被称为“大脑的燃料”是因为它为细胞提供营养并帮助细胞再生。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Physical activity normalizes the body's stress response systems. It lowers resting heart rate and cortisol(皮质醇) levels while releasing endorphins and endocannabinoids — the body's natural mood promoters.(体育活动使身体的应激反应系统正常化。它降低静息心率和皮质醇水平，同时释放endorphins and endocannabinoids——身体天然的情绪促进剂。）可知，画线部分指的是能改善我们情绪的化学物质。 D Much remains a mystery about how we look at the world. People constantly move their eyes to fix their gazes on items of interest, making about two to four eye movements every second for some 150,000 motions daily, but it remains uncertain how we choose what to focus on. To investigate how much gaze might vary between people, the researchers had more than 100 adult volunteers seated at computers look at 700 pictures depicting everyday scenes with a variety of items. At the same time, cameras, pointed at the eyes of those participants, helped track their gazes to deduce what they were looking at in each picture. The scientists found that certain types of details, such as faces, text, food, moving objects or touched items, attracted the gazes of some observers more than others. For example, the fraction of a person’s eye movements directed toward faces varied from 17% to 43% among the volunteers. In other words, “the individual tendency to look at faces or text can vary more than twofold from one person to the next,” said study lead author Benjamin de Haas, a neuroscientist at Justus-Liebig University Giessen in Germany. Such trends also proved to be highly consistent — even when volunteers were called back for follow-up sessions two weeks afterward. “This implies the way we look at images is personal. What you see can be different from what I’m seeing, even if we look at exactly the same images,” de Haas said. “Often times, the human is treated as a passive device whose attention can be captured by the image,” said vision scientist Mary Hayhoe at the University of Texas at Austin. This work emphasizes that “in reality, humans are active seekers of information.” The researchers suggested these differences in gaze might have some genetic foundations. For example, they noted that two recent studies from the United States and Sweden found that identical twins had far more similar patterns of eye movements than fraternal (异卵的) twins did. The scientists now plan to explore what impact these differences may or may not have in the real world. “Let’s say your eyes have a particular tendency to be attracted by text,” de Haas said. “Does that mean you’re more easily distracted when driving past a billboard?” These findings suggest that eye-tracking might help reveal new ways to diagnose disorders such as autism, in which people tend to gaze at faces and social cues differently, the researchers said. “The earlier one can pick up on the fact that children are autistic, the earlier one can start them on therapy and training programs, which can prove really important,” Hayhoe said. 12. What can we learn about the eye-tracking experiment? A. Humans are passive receivers of images. B. The way humans look at images varies greatly. C. The pictures used were mainly about abstract items. D. Gaze patterns differed when retested after two weeks. 13. Why does the author mention Mary Hayhoe in Paragraph 5? A. To explain the experiment process. B. To introduce the research purpose. C. To illustrate a practical approach. D. To correct a common belief. 14. Recent studies from the United States and Sweden suggest that ______. A. genes may affect how people direct their eyes B. people’s eyes have a tendency to be attracted by text C. shared living environments make identical twins’ gaze patterns more similar D. fraternal twins have more similar gaze patterns than those of the general population 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Universal Language of Sight B. The Mystery of Rapid Eye Movements C. The Unique Gaze: We See Things Differently D. The Powerful Eye-tracking: We Detect Autism Early 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家通过眼动实验发现人们注视事物的方式存在显著个体差异，该差异或与基因相关，并有望用于疾病诊断。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In other words, “the individual tendency to look at faces or text can vary more than twofold from one person to the next,” said study lead author Benjamin de Haas, a neuroscientist at Justus-Liebig University Giessen in Germany. (换言之，德国吉森尤斯图斯-李比希大学的神经科学家、该研究的主要作者本杰明·德·哈斯表示：“人与人之间关注人脸或文字的个人倾向，差异可能超过两倍。”)”可知，人类观看图像的方式差异极大。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的““Often times, the human is treated as a passive device whose attention can be captured by the image,” said vision scientist Mary Hayhoe at the University of Texas at Austin. This work emphasizes that “in reality, humans are active seekers of information.”(得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的视觉科学家玛丽·海霍表示：“很多时候，人类被当作一种被动的装置，其注意力会被图像轻易吸引。”而这项研究强调，“事实上，人类是主动的信息探寻者。”)”可知，作者提及Mary Hayhoe是为了纠正人们普遍认为人类被动接收图像信息的错误观点。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“The researchers suggested these differences in gaze might have some genetic foundations. For example, they noted that two recent studies from the United States and Sweden found that identical twins had far more similar patterns of eye movements than fraternal twins did.(研究人员认为注视差异可能有一定基因基础。例如，美国和瑞典近期的两项研究发现，同卵双胞胎的眼球运动模式比异卵双胞胎相似得多。)”可知，基因可能影响人们注视的方向。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中的““This implies the way we look at images is personal. What you see can be different from what I’m seeing, even if we look at exactly the same images,” de Haas said. (德哈斯表示：“这意味着我们观看图像的方式是因人而异的。即使我们看着完全相同的画面，你所看到的内容也可能与我所看到的不同。”)”可知，文章围绕人们注视方式存在个体差异展开，核心说明每个人的注视都是独特的、看待事物的方式各不相同，因此“独特的注视：我们看待事物各不相同”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Did you know that your stylish jacket or favorite jeans might once have been plastic bottles? This is the world of rPET, also known as recycled polyester (再生聚酯纤维). ____16____ As a result, a used water bottle can take on a new life as activewear or even high-fashion pieces. ____17____ First, plastic bottles are collected, sorted, and cleaned. After cleaning, they are cut, melted into liquid, and stretched into thin fibers. These fibers are then spun into yarn (纱线), which can be woven into different kinds of fabric. Finally, the fabric goes through finishing processes such as printing or coating to achieve the desired color, pattern, and performance. Some people assume that clothing made from “waste” must be cheap or low-quality. It is true that plastic-based fabrics can be less breathable and may feel rough for people with sensitive skin. ____18____ According to a Textile (纺织品) Exchange report, the use of rPET grew by 20% between 2020 and 2021, and made up about 14% of all global polyester production in 2022. This growth comes from rising awareness of both its practical advantages and its environmental value. In terms of performance, rPET is strong, durable, and quick-drying — qualities that make it ideal for sportswear. ____19____ Beyond performance, rPET supports the environment. Producing it uses 99% less water than producing traditional polyester, an important benefit for water-stressed regions involved in textile manufacturing. It also helps reduce waste. About 25 rPET bottles can be turned into the fibers for one jacket. ____20____ rPET is not a perfect solution to plastic pollution, but it is a meaningful step toward more sustainable fashion and a cleaner planet. A. It is also lightweight and wrinkle-resistant. B. However, market trends tell a different story. C. The transformation happens through several steps. D.

Hopefully 45. the 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以古籍修复师宋静的工作经历为切入点，结合具体修复案例与行业现状，展现古籍修复师的日常工作与职业情怀。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：2015年从北京大学毕业后，宋静进入了古籍修复部门。graduate from...是固定搭配，意为“从……毕业”。故填from。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：现在，宋静和她的同事们正在修复一套《永乐大典》，这是一部明代编纂的百科全书。空格处应该用非谓语动词作定语，修饰空格前的名词encyclopedia，名词encyclopedia与动词create之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词created作后置定语，修饰encyclopedia。故填created。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：接受挑战后，宋静和她的同事们花了六个月的时间研究并决定如何修复这些古籍。“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”是固定句型，意为“某人花费多长时间做某事”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式。故填to research。 【39题详解】 考查疑问词+不定式结构。句意：接受挑战后，宋静和她的同事们花了六个月的时间研究并决定如何修复这些古籍。根据空格后的不定式to restore the books.可知，空格处应该用一个疑问词，构成“疑问词+不定式”结构在句中作宾语，且表示“如何修复”。故填how。 【40题详解】 考查形容词。句意：为了将古籍恢复到原来的形态，他们需要从各种来源（如图片和文献）收集信息，以便弄清其原始的装订方式，并据此进行修复。空格处修饰名词sources，需要用形容词形式；variety是名词，其形容词形式various表示“各种各样的”，符合语境。故填various。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：随着技术的发展，他们能够通过显微镜使用新方法完成这项任务。空格处是时间状语从句的谓语动词，句子描述的是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语technology是不可数名词，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式develops。故填develops。 【42题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：然而，古籍修复仍然需要基本的手工技能，包括裁纸、刷纸和装订。skill是可数名词，根据后面的including cutting and brushing paper and binding可知，这里指多种技能，所以用复数形式skills。故填skills。 【43题详解】 考查连词。句意：如果刷纸时压力控制不当，纸张就会撕裂；如果力度太轻，纸张就不会粘牢。空格处引导条件状语从句，表示“如果”，与前文的If the pressure is not properly controlled形成并列结构，所以用if。故填if。 【44题详解】 考查副词。句意：宋说：“我希望自己能在激励更多年轻人找到他们在文化遗产保护领域的终身热情方面有所帮助。”空格处位于句首，修饰整个句子，需要用副词形式；hopeful是形容词，其副词形式Hopefully表示“希望；但愿”，注意句首单词首字母大写。故填Hopefully。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：宋说：“我希望自己能在激励更多年轻人找到他们在文化遗产保护领域的终身热情方面有所帮助。”根据名词field后的定语of cultural heritage preservation可知，此处特指“文化遗产保护领域”，所以用定冠词the。故填the。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 你校将举办英语演讲比赛，请你以“停止刷短视频，开始阅读”为题写一篇演讲稿参赛，内容包括： 1．刷短视频的危害； 2．你的呼吁。 注意：1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 参考词汇：刷短视频 scroll through short videos Stop Scrolling, Start Reading _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for listening 【答案】 Stop Scrolling, Start Reading Dear fellow students, Nowadays, many of us are addicted to scrolling through short videos.

I’ve spent most of my life feeling empty, lost, misunderstood and exhausted in ways I never knew how to explain. I’ve always felt like I was just surviving instead of actually living, like I was carrying this constant weight on my chest. When my mom passed away in late 2023, whatever stability I had left completely fell apart. Months later on April 28th, 2024, I was walking out of school and it was raining really hard. A friend offered to drive me home, but I politely declined because I didn’t want to feel like a burden, so I lied and said I “liked walking in the rain”. While I was walking on my way home, I heard tiny meows. I followed the sound and saw a tiny kitten, completely soaked, shaking and meowing in the middle of the rain. I remember how fragile (虚弱的) she was and it hurt to look at her. I stood there for a moment not knowing what to do, then tried to look for her mother, but she was nowhere to be found. I ended up taking the kitten with me, telling myself it was just for the night and that I’d bring her back later to find her mom. The next day, I went back to the same spot and searched for over an hour. I couldn’t find anything. I didn’t want to leave her outside, so I took her to the nearest shelter, hoping they could keep her. They checked her and said she was fine, but when I asked if they could take her in, they refused. I couldn’t leave her. She was barely two months old, and there was no way she would’ve survived on her own. 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 was at a loss what to do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taking care of the kitten gives me something solid to hold onto. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was at a loss what to do. I stared at the tiny kitten in my arms, her tiny body still trembling slightly from the cold rain. She nuzzled my palm gently, and my heart softened completely. I thought of my own loneliness and pain after losing Mom, and I knew I couldn’t abandon this fragile little life. I decided to keep her, and named her Francis. I bought her warm kitten milk, a soft cat bed and some funny little toys on my way home. Taking care of the kitten gives me something solid to hold onto. I fed her on time, cleaned her litter box patiently, and played with her happily after school. She would wait for me at the door every evening, and curl up in my arms when I felt down. Slowly, the heavy weight on my chest faded away. She didn’t just get a home that day — she saved me, pulled me out of endless darkness, and gave me a real reason to live again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小猫为线索展开，讲述作者在母亲离世后内心痛苦迷茫，雨天捡到一只小猫，寻找猫妈妈无果、被收容所拒收后陷入两难。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我不知所措。”可知，第一段可描写作者看着小猫的反应内心软化，决定留下小猫，为它购置生活物品的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“照顾这只小猫给了我一个实实在在的精神寄托。”可知，第二段可描写作者照顾小猫的日常，以及小猫如何陪伴作者，帮作者走出痛苦阴霾。 2. 续写线索：决心留下小猫→购置物品→日常照顾小猫→小猫陪伴慰藉→走出精神阴霾 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/quiver ②抛弃：abandon/desert ③蜷缩：curl up/cower 情绪类 ①愉快地：happily/merrily ②沮丧的：down/depressed 【点睛】[高分句型1] I thought of my own loneliness and pain after losing Mom, and I knew I couldn’t abandon this fragile little life.

B On a sunny morning in a small courtyard at Walt Whitman Middle School, a 14-year-old with a purple buzz cut held a plump chicken gently in her arms. “Her name is Betsy,” Maicy Nealy, an eighth-grader, said. Nealy used to be afraid of chickens as a young child. Now she spends hours after school collecting their eggs and cleaning the coop (鸡舍) for the school’s five hens. And though she says she is never an outdoorsy type, she feeds them their worm meals as well. For her, the chickens provide structure after school and make her very interested in agriculture. Now she can’t imagine adulthood without chickens involved. She says when she grows up, she plans to be “a lawyer that owns chickens”. The chicken program at Whitman started about a year ago, when after-school program specialist Lee Maguire planned a month-long embryo (胚胎) development program for kids to learn about biology. Throughout the school year, they’ve observed students gaining not only companionship from the animals but some life skills. The students replenish the feed supply — which costs about $25 for 50 pounds — with money from selling some of the eggs the chickens produce at $5 to $10 a dozen, making the project self-sustaining. “Egg prices soared, making it a great deal,” said Maguire, “and it teaches sustainability.” The chickens’ calming presence on campus is an advantage of the program that the school’s social workers and counselors (辅导员) quickly picked up on as well. They sometimes accompany struggling students outside to the coop to help them calm down or sort through their feelings. “It’s a moment that they don’t have to think about housing insecurity, food insecurity, whether their parents are going to get deployed, or how they’re going to have to improve their grades because they’re struggling,” he said. “The chickens don’t judge. They just love them. It’s a peaceful escape.” As school ends, students head home to prepare for high school, while the chickens stay with Maguire for the summer. But first, he has a surprise he’s going to let the kids in on soon. “I bought more baby chicks,” he said. “I got them eight more and I’m looking forward to boosting my students’ learning interest further.” 4. What can be learned from the story of Maicy Nealy? A. Her career choices through animal care. B. Her professional farming skill development. C. Her transformation from fear to lifelong passion. D. Her strong companionship with outdoor animals. 5. Why did Maguire introduce the chicken program at first? A. To improve students’ teamwork skills in class. B. To help students deal with employment problems. C. To create a sustainable food source for the school. D. To provide hands-on science learning experiences. 6. What impressed the school counselors about the program? A. Its potential to generate school income. B. Its healing value for troubled students. C. Its improvement in academic performance. D. Its popularity among small animal lovers. 7. What does the arrival of the new chicks symbolize? A. The program’s financial success. B. The necessity of animal care. C. The advanced feeding techniques. D. The new round of learning experience. C When we think about exercise, we often think about building muscle or losing weight. However, a revolutionary shift is happening in sports science, where researchers are increasingly focusing on what exercise does for the brain. The emerging evidence suggests that physical activity is one of the most powerful tools we have to develop the function of our most vital organ. The most immediate benefit of exercise is a dramatic increase in focus and cognitive speed. Studies from the University of British Columbia show that just fifteen minutes of moderate exercise, such as a quick walk, can significantly improve the functions like decision-making and attention span. This happens because exercise stimulates the release of key neurotransmitters (神经递质) — including dopamine and norepinephrine — which are chemicals that prepare the brain for learning and help us filter distractions. For students hitting the books, a quick workout might be more effective than a cup of coffee. Beyond immediate focus, exercise acts as a powerful long-term investment in brain health. It is understood to be a powerful driver of neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form and reorganize connections, especially in response to learning. Aerobic activities like running or swimming have been shown to increase the production of a protein called BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). Often described as “fuel for the brain,” BDNF supplies food to existing neurons (神经细胞) and encourages the growth of new ones, creating a more resilient and adaptable brain. This process is crucial for long-term memory and may even help delay age-related cognitive decline. Most importantly, exercise is a powerful enemy of stress. Physical activity normalizes the body's stress response systems. It lowers resting heart rate and cortisol(皮质醇) levels while releasing endorphins and endocannabinoids — the body's natural mood promoters. This combination not only provides the well-known “runner's high” but also builds a biological absorbing mat against stress. In an era where mental health challenges are on the rise, exercise is not just a physical activity but also a crucial component of mental well-being. It helps build a brain that is not only smarter and faster, but also calmer. 8. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To prove that exercise improves our brains. B. To explain the physical benefits of regular sports. C. To compare physical and mental benefits of sports. D. To explain the biological principle of our brains. 9. How does exercise improve focus directly? A. Exercise builds a biological defence against stress. B. Exercise strengthens the muscles of the brain cells. C.

People constantly move their eyes to fix their gazes on items of interest, making about two to four eye movements every second for some 150,000 motions daily, but it remains uncertain how we choose what to focus on. To investigate how much gaze might vary between people, the researchers had more than 100 adult volunteers seated at computers look at 700 pictures depicting everyday scenes with a variety of items. At the same time, cameras, pointed at the eyes of those participants, helped track their gazes to deduce what they were looking at in each picture. The scientists found that certain types of details, such as faces, text, food, moving objects or touched items, attracted the gazes of some observers more than others. For example, the fraction of a person’s eye movements directed toward faces varied from 17% to 43% among the volunteers. In other words, “the individual tendency to look at faces or text can vary more than twofold from one person to the next,” said study lead author Benjamin de Haas, a neuroscientist at Justus-Liebig University Giessen in Germany. Such trends also proved to be highly consistent — even when volunteers were called back for follow-up sessions two weeks afterward. “This implies the way we look at images is personal. What you see can be different from what I’m seeing, even if we look at exactly the same images,” de Haas said. “Often times, the human is treated as a passive device whose attention can be captured by the image,” said vision scientist Mary Hayhoe at the University of Texas at Austin. This work emphasizes that “in reality, humans are active seekers of information.” The researchers suggested these differences in gaze might have some genetic foundations. For example, they noted that two recent studies from the United States and Sweden found that identical twins had far more similar patterns of eye movements than fraternal (异卵的) twins did. The scientists now plan to explore what impact these differences may or may not have in the real world. “Let’s say your eyes have a particular tendency to be attracted by text,” de Haas said. “Does that mean you’re more easily distracted when driving past a billboard?” These findings suggest that eye-tracking might help reveal new ways to diagnose disorders such as autism, in which people tend to gaze at faces and social cues differently, the researchers said. “The earlier one can pick up on the fact that children are autistic, the earlier one can start them on therapy and training programs, which can prove really important,” Hayhoe said. 12. What can we learn about the eye-tracking experiment? A. Humans are passive receivers of images. B. The way humans look at images varies greatly. C. The pictures used were mainly about abstract items. D. Gaze patterns differed when retested after two weeks. 13. Why does the author mention Mary Hayhoe in Paragraph 5? A. To explain the experiment process. B. To introduce the research purpose. C. To illustrate a practical approach. D. To correct a common belief. 14. Recent studies from the United States and Sweden suggest that ______. A. genes may affect how people direct their eyes B. people’s eyes have a tendency to be attracted by text C. shared living environments make identical twins’ gaze patterns more similar D. fraternal twins have more similar gaze patterns than those of the general population 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Universal Language of Sight B. The Mystery of Rapid Eye Movements C. The Unique Gaze: We See Things Differently D. The Powerful Eye-tracking: We Detect Autism Early 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Did you know that your stylish jacket or favorite jeans might once have been plastic bottles? This is the world of rPET, also known as recycled polyester (再生聚酯纤维). ____16____ As a result, a used water bottle can take on a new life as activewear or even high-fashion pieces. ____17____ First, plastic bottles are collected, sorted, and cleaned. After cleaning, they are cut, melted into liquid, and stretched into thin fibers. These fibers are then spun into yarn (纱线), which can be woven into different kinds of fabric. Finally, the fabric goes through finishing processes such as printing or coating to achieve the desired color, pattern, and performance. Some people assume that clothing made from “waste” must be cheap or low-quality. It is true that plastic-based fabrics can be less breathable and may feel rough for people with sensitive skin. ____18____ According to a Textile (纺织品) Exchange report, the use of rPET grew by 20% between 2020 and 2021, and made up about 14% of all global polyester production in 2022. This growth comes from rising awareness of both its practical advantages and its environmental value. In terms of performance, rPET is strong, durable, and quick-drying — qualities that make it ideal for sportswear. ____19____ Beyond performance, rPET supports the environment. Producing it uses 99% less water than producing traditional polyester, an important benefit for water-stressed regions involved in textile manufacturing. It also helps reduce waste. About 25 rPET bottles can be turned into the fibers for one jacket. ____20____ rPET is not a perfect solution to plastic pollution, but it is a meaningful step toward more sustainable fashion and a cleaner planet. A. It is also lightweight and wrinkle-resistant. B. However, market trends tell a different story. C. The transformation happens through several steps. D. This keeps millions of plastic bottles out of landfills each year. E. Recycling rPET fabric back into new fabric can be challenging. F. While it is safe to wear, it releases microplastics when it is washed. G. Unlike traditional polyester made from petrol, rPET uses existing plastic. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节：（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 James Gates, former president of the American Physical Society, appears in a number of documentaries, and is the ____21____ of countless awards.

I’ve spent most of my life feeling empty, lost, misunderstood and exhausted in ways I never knew how to explain. I’ve always felt like I was just surviving instead of actually living, like I was carrying this constant weight on my chest. When my mom passed away in late 2023, whatever stability I had left completely fell apart. Months later on April 28th, 2024, I was walking out of school and it was raining really hard. A friend offered to drive me home, but I politely declined because I didn’t want to feel like a burden, so I lied and said I “liked walking in the rain”. While I was walking on my way home, I heard tiny meows. I followed the sound and saw a tiny kitten, completely soaked, shaking and meowing in the middle of the rain. I remember how fragile (虚弱的) she was and it hurt to look at her. I stood there for a moment not knowing what to do, then tried to look for her mother, but she was nowhere to be found. I ended up taking the kitten with me, telling myself it was just for the night and that I’d bring her back later to find her mom. The next day, I went back to the same spot and searched for over an hour. I couldn’t find anything. I didn’t want to leave her outside, so I took her to the nearest shelter, hoping they could keep her. They checked her and said she was fine, but when I asked if they could take her in, they refused. I couldn’t leave her. She was barely two months old, and there was no way she would’ve survived on her own. 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 was at a loss what to do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taking care of the kitten gives me something solid to hold onto. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
