Ladakh, in the trans-Himalayas, with its vast, uninhabited and stunning landscapes, has fascinated me since my first visit 20 years ago. In 2011, my fifth time in Ladakh, the region’s raw beauty held an entirely different pull — one that seemed to hum with an ancient energy, a force I hadn’t noticed before.
In the very bones of the land lay a collection of prehistoric carvings known as petroglyphs, the only remains of prehistoric human presence in the area. Seeing these carvings, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was witnessing something far deeper than I had imagined. There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation.
These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. Despite tough living conditions, these huntergatherers still found ways to convey their beliefs and observations through highly stylized forms, reflecting the deep artistic desire that has always been a part of the human — long before the rise of civilized society. As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it, “It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances.”
To bring these open-air art galleries to a wider audience, I wanted to create something that had not been attempted before by using specialized photography techniques with my focus being on distribution, styles and creative range. It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. When the book — Speaking Stones: Rock Art of Ladakh — was named a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2024, I was honored, but the recognition was secondary. My true reward was a deeper connection with time and nature through a vast unbroken string, binding us all together.
4. What drove the author to document the petroglyphs?
A. The threat of regional progress. B. The appeal of amazing scenery.
C. A search for thrilling experiences. D. A childhood bond with ancient art.
5. What can we learn from Morris’s quote in paragraph 3?
A. Art is the mirror of nature. B. Art inspires human wisdom.
C. Art is deeply rooted in humans. D. Art can’t exist without materials.
6. Which can best describe the process of creating the book?
A. Systematic. B. Brain-tearing. C. Painstaking. D. Eventful.
7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Tasting the Past: The Analysis of Petroglyph
B. Written in Stone: Ladakh’s Timeless Artistry
C. Guarding the Rocks: A Saver of Ladakh’s Heritage
D. Carved by Time: A Record of Himalayan Geography

A person visiting an eye doctor for an annual exam sits in front of a desk-top machine equipped with a bright red headset and eyepiece. The patient is told to hold still while one eye is briefly scanned by an infrared light-based method that can image the retina (视网膜) with a matchless level of detail, obtaining high-resolution images within seconds.
This painless scanning technique, known as optical coherence tomography (OCT), is used millions of times per year in the US to identify eye diseases. But research suggests it may be used to detect early brain changes caused by Alzheimer’s disease, even years before symptoms appear.
Such an application is possible because the retina is part of the central nervous system and shares many of the same cells and structures of the brain. Numerous studies have found that many of Alzheimer’s indicators are visible in the eyes of people who have died with the disease. The features of Alzheimer’s can be detected long before cognitive (认知) symptoms appear.
Alzheimer’s disease begins slowly, with changes in the brain that can occur years, if not decades, before symptoms appear. To stop it in its tracks, we need early detection — ideally before the brain’s architecture is damaged. This insight has brought new urgency to the search for reliable biomarkers.
In recent years, researchers have made progress in developing blood and spinal fluid (脊髓液) tests that indicate the presence of Alzheimer’s features. For example, amyloid PET imaging, the current gold standard, uses radioactive tracers to detect harmful proteins in the brain, but it is costly and technically demanding.
As promising as new blood tests are, detecting Alzheimer’s in millions of at-risk individuals requires tools that are not only accurate but also affordable and scalable. OCT may meet these needs. As a widely available and widely applicable method of early detection, OCT could be practical for population screening in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, Japan, China, and South Korea.
8. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By describing a common scene. B. By presenting research findings.
C. By explaining a medical term. D. By comparing different techniques.
9. What makes OCT a potential tool for detecting Alzheimer’s disease?
A. It can create images of the brain directly.
B. It helps discover eye problems at an early age.
C. It reveals brain-related changes in the retina.
D. It tracks the progression of cognitive decline.
10. What is the disadvantage of amyloid PET imaging?
A. It cannot find early signs of Alzheimer’s. B. It is expensive and difficult to operate.
C. It produces inaccurate results easily. D. It relies on too many blood samples.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward OCT’s future application?
A. Neutral. B. Unclear. C. Critical. D. Optimistic
D
Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. We are probably all guilty (有过失的) of feeling like we are right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon is called the “illusion of information adequacy (IOIA)”.
“Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety, and general stress, ” says Angus Fletcher, a researcher at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced. ”
In the study, the team surveyed 1, 261 Americans online. All the participants read an article about an imaginary school with water shortage. Group one read an article that only gave reasons for merging (合并) with another school that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group three was the control group that read both sets of the arguments.
They found the majority of the first two groups believed they had enough information to decide what to do. They said they would follow the recommendations in the article they read and thought others would make the same decision. About 55 percent of the control group recommended the schools merge.
The team calls this belief IOIA. Fletcher describes it as, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us leap to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we miss necessary information. ”
The team also found some were willing to change their minds — once they had all the facts. Timing also plays a role. The people in the study changed their opinions that were recently formed, not long-held beliefs.
According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to reduce IOIA when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I'm missing that would help me understand their position better? ” This can help reduce unnecessary interpersonal conflict.
12. What was the main goal of Fletcher’s research?
A. To find ways to improve debate skills. B. To identify types of information sources.
C. To explain why it is necessary to stick to facts. D. To explore how to minimize misunderstandings.
13. Why did participants in Group one and two tend to have IOIA?
A. They held deep-rooted beliefs. B. They received a lot of false information.
C. They were exposed to one-sided arguments. D. They were worried about the school’s situation.
14. What does Fletcher suggest to fight IOIA?
A. Establishing interpersonal bonds. B. Seeking to bridge the information gap.
C. Encouraging others to see the big picture. D. Stressing the weaknesses in others’ positions.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why Do People Insist They Are Correct? B. Does Interpersonal Conflict Lead to Stress?
C. Can Conversations Affect What We Believe? D. What Contributes to Sensible Decision-making?
(七选五)
In today’s fast-paced world, fragmented reading (碎片化阅读) has become a common practice among students and adults alike. This style of reading involves consuming short, disconnected pieces of information from phones, social media and other digital platforms, often in 5 — 10-minute bursts between classes or during breaks. ____16____ But it also brings challenges that affect how we process and remember what we read.
Many people turn to fragmented reading to make use of small free moments in their busy schedules. Instead of carrying heavy books, they can glance through news updates, short stories or study tips on their phones. This way, they feel productive even when they don’t have time for long reading sessions. For students preparing for exams, fragmented reading seems like a good way to review key points. ____17____
However, this reading style has its downsides. Studies show that jumping between different topics makes it hard to focus deeply on any single piece of information. ____18____ This can lead to weaker understanding and poor memory. Young people who often read in fragments may find it more difficult to finish long articles or books later, as their ability to focus gets used to constant changes.
____19____ Using short reading sessions to explore new topics can develop interest, while setting aside longer periods for focused study helps build strong knowledge foundations. Students can also train themselves to take notes and summarize key points from fragmented materials, turning disconnected facts into a connected network of knowledge.
We should be aware of both the benefits and limits of fragmented reading. ____20____ It can serve as a helpful tool rather than a replacement for deeper, more meaningful reading experiences.
A. Use this modern practice wisely.
B. It offers quick access to diverse content.
C. Our brains struggle to connect ideas from unrelated short texts.
D. Fragmented reading is becoming less popular among teenagers.
E. It allows them to do this without spending hours on a single subject.
F. Deep reading is more important than fragmented reading for students.
G. The key lies in balancing fragmented reading with traditional deep reading.

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。
It had rained for three days without stopping. The wind blew hard, and the river nearby rose higher and higher until it rushed into the streets. The water was strong and dark, carrying away trees and cars. People could only watch from far away as the flood destroyed their beautiful town. It was a frightening time that no one would ever forget.
Finally, the scary flood went away. But for people in the town, the silence it left behind was even louder than the roaring water. Many lost their beloved houses. Jeremy was one of them. His house was now nothing more than a pile of ruins. The front steps he used to jump off as a boy were gone. And more painfully, the kitchen wall, marked with pencil lines recording his height every year, was buried under broken bricks and mud. Everything that made it a “home” had disappeared, leaving only a cold, gray emptiness.
Before the storm, Jeremy's house was a wonderful place. It was a warm brick house with a pretty garden full of yellow sunflowers and red roses. Inside, the rooms were always bright and smelled like his mother’s homemade cookies. For fifteen years,this house had been their world. It was where his family celebrated birthdays and shared happy stories.
“We can rebuild the walls, son,” Jeremy’s father said softly to him. “But we can’t bring back the stories these walls told. A home is more than just a building; it’s the memories it held.”
Emma, Jeremy’s best friend, was gifted in painting and felt Jeremy’s sadness as if it were her own. She felt a strong desire to help him. Though she didn’t have bricks to build a house, she had a different kind of power — a brush that could capture the soul of what was lost.
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。
Emma decided to paint Jeremy's house.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jeremy carefully took the painting from Emma.

Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. We are probably all guilty (有过失的) of feeling like we are right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon is called the “illusion of information adequacy (IOIA)”.
“Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety, and general stress, ” says Angus Fletcher, a researcher at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced. ”
In the study, the team surveyed 1, 261 Americans online. All the participants read an article about an imaginary school with water shortage. Group one read an article that only gave reasons for merging (合并) with another school that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group three was the control group that read both sets of the arguments.
They found the majority of the first two groups believed they had enough information to decide what to do. They said they would follow the recommendations in the article they read and thought others would make the same decision. About 55 percent of the control group recommended the schools merge.
The team calls this belief IOIA. Fletcher describes it as, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us leap to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we miss necessary information. ”
The team also found some were willing to change their minds — once they had all the facts. Timing also plays a role. The people in the study changed their opinions that were recently formed, not long-held beliefs.
According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to reduce IOIA when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I'm missing that would help me understand their position better? ” This can help reduce unnecessary interpersonal conflict.
12. What was the main goal of Fletcher’s research?
A. To find ways to improve debate skills. B. To identify types of information sources.
C. To explain why it is necessary to stick to facts. D. To explore how to minimize misunderstandings.
13. Why did participants in Group one and two tend to have IOIA?
A. They held deep-rooted beliefs. B. They received a lot of false information.
C. They were exposed to one-sided arguments. D. They were worried about the school’s situation.
14. What does Fletcher suggest to fight IOIA?
A. Establishing interpersonal bonds. B. Seeking to bridge the information gap.
C. Encouraging others to see the big picture. D. Stressing the weaknesses in others’ positions.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Why Do People Insist They Are Correct? B. Does Interpersonal Conflict Lead to Stress?
C. Can Conversations Affect What We Believe? D. What Contributes to Sensible Decision-making?
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在与别人争吵时,我们总认为自己是对的,这种现象被称为“信息充足错觉”(IOIA)。文章主要介绍了我们有信息充足错觉的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Fletcher所说的话““We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced. ”(“我们想探讨这些误解,并看看如何减少它们。”)”可知,Fletcher的研究是主要是为了探索如何最大程度地减少误解。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the study, the team surveyed 1, 261 Americans online. All the participants read an article about an imaginary school with water shortage. Group one read an article that only gave reasons for merging with another school that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. (在这项研究中,研究团队在网上调查了1261名美国人。所有参与者都阅读了一篇关于一所缺水学校的虚构报道。第一组阅读的报道只给出了与另一所有更好水源的学校合并的理由。第二组阅读的报道只给出了学校保持独立并希望找到其他的方法的理由。)”可知,第一组和第二组所阅读的报道给出的理由都是单方面的,所以第一组和第二组的参与者倾向于有信息充足错觉(IOIA)。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to reduce IOIA when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I’m missing that would help me understand their position better? ” This can help reduce unnecessary interpersonal conflict. (根据弗莱彻的说法,当与他人意见不同时,减少IOIA的最好方法之一是停下来问自己:“我是不是漏掉了什么导致我无法更好地理解他们的立场?” 这可以帮助减少不必要的冲突。)”可知, Fletcher建议,要想应对信息充足错觉(IOIA),你应该问自己是不是漏掉了什么导致自己无法更好地理解他们的立场,这说明要努力弥补信息差,由此可推知,Fletcher建议要通过弥补信息差来应对IOIA,故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. We are probably all guilty of feeling like we are right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon is called the “illusion of information adequacy (IOIA)”. (在网上与陌生人或在晚餐桌上与家人争吵,感觉就像在和一堵砖墙辩论。我们可能都犯过这样的错误,自己是对的,即使我们没有掌握所有的事实。这种现象被称为“信息充足错觉”(IOIA)。)”和第二段中““We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced. ”(“我们想探讨这些误解,并看看如何减少它们。”)”可知,在与别人争吵时,我们总认为自己是对的,这种现象被称为“信息充足错觉”(IOIA)。文章主要介绍了我们有信息充足错觉的原因,A项“为什么人们坚持认为自己是对的?”适合作文章标题,故选A。
(七选五)
In today’s fast-paced world, fragmented reading (碎片化阅读) has become a common practice among students and adults alike. This style of reading involves consuming short, disconnected pieces of information from phones, social media and other digital platforms, often in 5 — 10-minute bursts between classes or during breaks. ____16____ But it also brings challenges that affect how we process and remember what we read.
Many people turn to fragmented reading to make use of small free moments in their busy schedules. Instead of carrying heavy books, they can glance through news updates, short stories or study tips on their phones. This way, they feel productive even when they don’t have time for long reading sessions. For students preparing for exams, fragmented reading seems like a good way to review key points. ____17____
However, this reading style has its downsides. Studies show that jumping between different topics makes it hard to focus deeply on any single piece of information. ____18____ This can lead to weaker understanding and poor memory. Young people who often read in fragments may find it more difficult to finish long articles or books later, as their ability to focus gets used to constant changes.
____19____ Using short reading sessions to explore new topics can develop interest, while setting aside longer periods for focused study helps build strong knowledge foundations. Students can also train themselves to take notes and summarize key points from fragmented materials, turning disconnected facts into a connected network of knowledge.
We should be aware of both the benefits and limits of fragmented reading. ____20____ It can serve as a helpful tool rather than a replacement for deeper, more meaningful reading experiences.
A. Use this modern practice wisely.
B. It offers quick access to diverse content.
C. Our brains struggle to connect ideas from unrelated short texts.
D. Fragmented reading is becoming less popular among teenagers.
E. It allows them to do this without spending hours on a single subject.
F. Deep reading is more important than fragmented reading for students.
G. The key lies in balancing fragmented reading with traditional deep reading.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. C 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了碎片化阅读便捷易得,能利用零碎时间汲取信息、助力备考,却易让人难以深度专注、弱化理解记忆。我们需平衡碎片化与深度阅读,理性合理运用。
【16题详解】
下文“But it also brings challenges that affect how we process and remember what we read.( 但它也带来了影响我们阅读理解和记忆的挑战。)”出现转折连词“But”,说明空格处应与后文“带来挑战”形成对比,介绍碎片化阅读的优点。B 选项“It offers quick access to diverse content.(它提供了快速获取多样化内容的途径。)”正是其核心优势,完美承上启下。
【17题详解】
上文“For students preparing for exams, fragmented reading seems like a good way to review key points.( 对于准备考试的学生来说,碎片化阅读似乎是一种很好的复习重点内容的方式。)”指出“碎片化阅读对备考学生复习重点很有帮助”,E选项“It allows them to do this without spending hours on a single subject.( 它让他们能够在不花数小时专注于单一主题的情况下做到这一点。)”中的“this”恰好指代前文的“review key points”,进一步解释了其优势 —— 无需在单一科目上花费数小时,逻辑连贯。
【18题详解】
上文“Studies show that jumping between different topics makes it hard to focus deeply on any single piece of information. (研究表明,频繁跳转到不同的主题会让人难以深入专注于任何单一的信息。)”提到“在不同主题间跳跃难以深入专注”,后文“This can lead to weaker understanding and poor memory.( 这会导致理解能力下降和记忆不佳。)”指出“这会导致理解薄弱和记忆力差”。C 选项“Our brains struggle to connect ideas from unrelated short texts.(我们的大脑很难将不相关短文本中的观点联系起来。)”准确解释了前后文的因果关系,说明碎片化阅读影响认知的内在机制。
【19题详解】
空格位于第四段段首,是该段的中心句。后文“Using short reading sessions to explore new topics can develop interest, while setting aside longer periods for focused study helps build strong knowledge foundations.( 采用短时间的阅读来探索新主题可以培养兴趣,而留出较长的时间进行集中学习则有助于建立坚实的知识基础。)”同时提到了“短时间阅读探索新话题” 和“长时间专注学习打基础”两种方式,G选项“The key lies in balancing fragmented reading with traditional deep reading.(关键在于平衡碎片化阅读与传统深度阅读。)”精准概括了本段主旨。
【20题详解】
上文“We should be aware of both the benefits and limits of fragmented reading.( 我们应该认识到碎片化阅读的优点和局限性。)”说“我们应意识到碎片化阅读的利弊”,后文“It can serve as a helpful tool rather than a replacement for deeper, more meaningful reading experiences.( 它可以作为一种有用的工具,而非深度、更有意义阅读体验的替代品。)”说 “它应是有用的工具而非深度阅读的替代品”。A 选项“Use this modern practice wisely.(明智地使用这种现代阅读方式。)”作为过渡,自然引出后文的正确态度,与全文结论一致。

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。
It had rained for three days without stopping. The wind blew hard, and the river nearby rose higher and higher until it rushed into the streets. The water was strong and dark, carrying away trees and cars. People could only watch from far away as the flood destroyed their beautiful town. It was a frightening time that no one would ever forget.
Finally, the scary flood went away. But for people in the town, the silence it left behind was even louder than the roaring water. Many lost their beloved houses. Jeremy was one of them. His house was now nothing more than a pile of ruins. The front steps he used to jump off as a boy were gone. And more painfully, the kitchen wall, marked with pencil lines recording his height every year, was buried under broken bricks and mud. Everything that made it a “home” had disappeared, leaving only a cold, gray emptiness.
Before the storm, Jeremy's house was a wonderful place. It was a warm brick house with a pretty garden full of yellow sunflowers and red roses. Inside, the rooms were always bright and smelled like his mother’s homemade cookies. For fifteen years,this house had been their world. It was where his family celebrated birthdays and shared happy stories.
“We can rebuild the walls, son,” Jeremy’s father said softly to him. “But we can’t bring back the stories these walls told. A home is more than just a building; it’s the memories it held.”
Emma, Jeremy’s best friend, was gifted in painting and felt Jeremy’s sadness as if it were her own. She felt a strong desire to help him. Though she didn’t have bricks to build a house, she had a different kind of power — a brush that could capture the soul of what was lost.
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。
Emma decided to paint Jeremy's house.

【答案】
Emma decided to paint Jeremy’s house. She sat at her desk and closed her eyes, trying to recall every detail she remembered about Jeremy’s house. She used her brushes to bring back the yellow sunflowers and the warm brick walls. She didn’t just paint a building. She captured the happy memories of Jeremy's childhood. This wasn’t merely a piece of art. It was a magical painting specially created to heal a broken heart. As soon as it was finished, Emma instantly handed the painting to Jeremy with eagerness.
Jeremy carefully took the painting from Emma. As his eyes swept over the familiar colors, tears welled up and blurred his vision. In the painting, his home was alive again,standing proudly among the fragrant flowers. While the flood did wipe out the bricks, it couldn’t wipe away fond memories of his family. The essence of his home remained in his heart. “Thank you, Emma.” Jeremy whispered. Emma was proud that her brushes were not simply for painting, but also had the power to bring comfort, warmth and hope to people.
