I’d made some unusual plans for my trip to Switzerland — paddleboarding, kayaking — so I was prepared for some novel experiences. But I also found some unexpected life lessons on the way.
Over a week I tried new things with varying levels of success. As an adult beginner, I concentrated on the effort, knowing full well that the outcome was beyond my control. This became clear as I held a paddleboard on the blue waters of Lake Constance. Sitting astride my paddle, I rowed away from the water’s edge and then practiced what I learnt minutes ago from my paddleboarding instructor. I managed to stand for a few seconds before crashing down into the lake. After what felt like my 10th collapse, I felt tired and ready to give up. The voice of self-doubt kept getting louder but I chose to silence it, focusing on the sun, waves and water instead as the instructor had suggested. By not giving up, I gained more than had I not tried at all.
Sometimes it takes more than one try and one situation to drive home a point. When I thought I was done being tested, I found myself again on the water’s surface a few days later. This time in a kayak. Having kayaked many times before, I was confident. One by one we followed our guide Gaitanos on the lake. I tried my best to handle the oar (桨), but soon I floated away from the group. In a panic (恐慌) I began to row even faster. But this pushed me further away. Exhausted, I waited for rescue. When Gaitanos caught up with me, he patiently guided me on how to oar. As I tried harder and harder, my arms burning, he told me to simply do what I knew. The minute I let go and relaxed, I managed to get control over my kayak and steered it in the direction I wanted.
In that moment, Gaitanos gave me an important life lesson: when things go wrong, sometimes all we need to do is approach the situation with a calm mind. As we rowed towards the group, everyone cheered me on. I felt proud of myself, for having tried, failed and learnt.
4. What did the author expect before trying new things on the trip?
A. To shake off years of self-doubt.
B. To build good trust with the instructor.
C. To master paddleboarding and kayaking.
D. To focus on the effort rather than the result.
5. What does the underlined phrase “drive home a point” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Take a long drive home. B. Learn from failures carefully.
C. Stress the point too much. D. Understand the lesson completely.
6. What’s the author’s first reaction when floating away?
A. He shouted for assistance. B. He rowed faster in a panic.
C. He waited for the guide to help. D. He calmly improved his method.
7. What life lesson did the author learn from Gaitanos?

【解析】
【导语】本文作者通过在旅行中学习桨板运动和划皮划艇的经历告诉我们:有时候,你需要不止一次的尝试和不止一种情境才能完全明白一个道理。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As an adult beginner, I concentrated on the effort, knowing full well that the outcome was beyond my control.(作为一名成年初学者,我专注于努力本身,深知结果并非我能掌控。)”可知,作为一名已成年的初学者,作者专注于努力,非常清楚结果并不在自己的控制之内。因此,作者对于这次旅行中尝试的新事物,只关注努力而不是结果。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“By not giving up, I gained more than had I not tried at all.(因为不放弃,我得到的远比当初不去尝试要多。)”可知,作者在学习桨板运动时遇到困难不放弃,收获良多,在根据第三段划线句后文的内容“When I thought I was done being tested, I found myself again on the water’s surface a few days later. This time in a kayak. Having kayaked many times before, I was confident. One by one we followed our guide Gaitanos on the lake. I tried my best to handle the oar (桨), but soon I floated away from the group. In a panic (恐慌) I began to row even faster. But this pushed me further away. Exhausted, I waited for rescue. When Gaitanos caught up with me, he patiently guided me on how to oar. As I tried harder and harder, my arms burning, he told me to simply do what I knew. The minute I let go and relaxed, I managed to get control over my kayak and steered it in the direction I wanted.(当我以为自己已经经受够了考验时,几天后我再次发现自己浮在水面上。这次是坐在皮划艇里。因为之前划过很多次皮划艇,我很自信。我们一个接一个地跟着向导盖塔诺斯在湖上前行。我尽全力划桨,但很快我就漂离了队伍。惊慌之中,我开始划得更快。但这反而让我离队伍更远。筋疲力尽之下,我等待救援。当盖塔诺斯赶上我时,他耐心地指导我如何划桨。我越划越用力,手臂火辣辣的,他却告诉我只需按照自己已知的方法去做。就在我放松下来的那一刻,我成功控制了皮划艇,把它驶向了我想要的方向。)”可知,划线句后文提到作者在划皮划艇时,遇到了困难然后在恐慌中等待救援,最终在向导的指导下成功地控制住了自己的皮划艇。由此可知,画线短语所在句意为:有时候,你需要不止一次的尝试和不止一种情境才能“完全明白一个道理”。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I tried my best to handle the oar (桨), but soon I floated away from the group. In a panic (恐慌) I began to row even faster.(我尽全力划桨,但很快我就漂离了队伍。惊慌之中,我开始划得更快。)”可知,作者在漂离时的初始反应是惊慌失措地划得更快。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In that moment, Gaitanos gave me an important life lesson: when things go wrong, sometimes all we need to do is approach the situation with a calm mind.(在那一刻,Gaitanos给了我一个重要的人生道理:当事情出错时,有时我们需要的只是以平静的心态去应对。)”可知,作者从Gaitanos那里学到的人生经验是:在面对困难时,要保持冷静。
C
Bluestreak cleaner wrasse (蓝纹裂唇鱼) are small, territorial fish that forcefully beat back invaders. But when they have access to a mirror, the fish size themselves up before deciding whether or not to fight.
About the size of a human finger, bluestreak cleaner wrasse are tiny, blue, black and white fish. Scientists already knew they were smart creatures. In 2018, they became the first fish to pass what’s known as the mirror test, an experiment used to measure self-awareness by judging whether or not an animal recognizes its own reflection. Last year, researchers also showed that bluestreak cleaner wrasse could recognize themselves in photos after looking at their reflection in a mirror. Scientists wanted to explore their self-awareness on an even deeper level, so they set up a series of new laboratory experiments. They shared their findings in a new paper.
In the first stage, researchers placed a bluestreak cleaner wrasse inside a clear fish tank. Then, they held photos against the glass showing bluestreak cleaner wrasses of varying sizes — some that were 10 percent larger than the fish in the tank, and some that were 10 percent smaller. No matter which photo the scientists showed, the bluestreak cleaner wrasse inside the tank tried to attack it.
Next, the team repeated the same experiment but added a mirror to the tank. The fish checked out their own reflection before deciding whether to fight — and they would only battle photos of smaller invaders, not larger ones. To scientists, this suggests that bluestreak cleaner wrasse are capable of understanding their own body size, as well as figuring out if they are bigger or smaller than a competitor.
There are no mirrors in the wild, so the findings also suggest that bluestreak cleaner wrasse adapted and learned to use the mirror as a self-preservation tool. This discovery can help make clear the similarities between human and non-human animal self-awareness and provide important clues to explain how self-awareness has evolved.
8. What’s the purpose of the new laboratory experiments on bluestreak cleaner wrasse?
A. To observe their territorial behavior.
B. To determine their recognition ability.
C. To further explore their self-awareness.
D. To see if they actually pass the mirror test.
9. How did bluestreak cleaner wrasse react when they saw photos of their same kind in the first stage?
A. They greeted the photos. B. They attacked the photos.
C. They ignored the photos. D. They sized the photos up.
10. What does bluestreak cleaner wrasse’s behavior in the presence of a mirror suggest?
A. They have no idea of their own reflection.
B. They have no concept of self-preservation.
C. They can adapt to new environments quickly.
D. They can compare their own body size with that of others.
11. What is the significance of the bluestreak cleaner wrasse’s ability to use a mirror?
A. It proves they are smarter than other fish in the world.
B. It confirms they can identify potential competitors ahead.
C. It offers understanding of the evolution of self-awareness.
D. It shows they can be a tool for human self-awareness studies.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍科学家通过新实验研究蓝纹裂唇鱼的自我认知能力,并阐述该研究发现对探究自我意识进化的意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Scientists wanted to explore their self-awareness on an even deeper level, so they set up a series of new laboratory experiments.(科学家们想要在更深层次上探究它们的自我意识,因此他们开展了一系列新的实验室实验)”可知,针对蓝纹裂唇鱼的新实验室实验目的是进一步探究它们的自我意识。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“No matter which photo the scientists showed, the bluestreak cleaner wrasse inside the tank tried to attack it.(无论科学家展示哪一张照片,鱼缸里的蓝纹裂唇鱼都会试图攻击它)”可知,在第一阶段,蓝纹裂唇鱼看到同类照片时会攻击这些照片。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To scientists, this suggests that bluestreak cleaner wrasse are capable of understanding their own body size, as well as figuring out if they are bigger or smaller than a competitor.(对科学家来说,这表明蓝纹裂唇鱼能够知晓自身的体型大小,也能判断自己相较于对手是更大还是更小)”可知,蓝纹裂唇鱼在有镜子时的行为说明它们能够对比自身与其他同类的体型。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This discovery can help make clear the similarities between human and non-human animal self-awareness and provide important clues to explain how self-awareness has evolved.(这一发现有助于厘清人类与非人类动物自我意识之间的相似之处,并为解释自我意识如何进化提供重要线索)”可知,蓝纹裂唇鱼会利用镜子这一能力的意义是为理解自我意识的进化提供依据。

Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry (洗衣服) habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more often, and were unaware that this could damage the environment. The brand, in partnership with Falmouth University, is publishing a report this week into the impact of laundry on the environment. The researchers found that 18% of the 2,000 Britons interviewed for the report believed — wrongly — that washing less frequently would not affect the planet. One in 10 felt pressure to do the laundry more often.
The report also found that 75% of people in recent studies mentioned fear of judgment from others for wearing the same clothes multiple days in a row. Model and environmental activist Lily Cole, who will chair a panel discussion on the findings in London this week, said she had experienced this. “The attitude has changed in recent years, but I was in the sidebar of shame a few times for wearing the same look on the red carpet,” she said.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed the number of wash loads in the UK increased by 9.6% from 6.2 bn to 6.8 bn between 2005 and 2014. It is still increasing year by year. The global detergent (洗涤剂) market size was valued at USD 119.34 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2030. Pollution from detergent causes serious risks to natural ecosystems. Changes to the materials used to make modern clothes have worsened the problem — washing clothes made from man-made fabrics accounts for about 8% of the microplastics released into our water.
Dr. Cui Su, from the school of communication, Falmouth University, who worked on the report said, “For decades, our relationship with laundry has been shaped by powerful cultural forces and advertising that have conditioned us to believe that ‘perfectly clean’ is the only acceptable standard. From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”
12. What is the main concern of Ecover’s research on laundry habits?
A. The rise in the number of wash loads in the UK.
B. The increase in the global detergent market size.
C. The change in materials used to make modern clothes.
D. The impact of washing clothes more often on the environment.
13. How many Britons interviewed thought washing less would cause little harm to the environment?
A. 130. B. 200. C. 360. D. 1,500.
14. What does Dr. Cui Su mean in the last paragraph?
A. We are misled about perfect cleanliness.
B. Views on cleanliness haven’t changed.
C. People naturally prefer clean clothes.
D. Cleanliness is a personal choice.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Clean clothes: a reflection of success
B. The role of advertising in laundry habits
C. Laundry trends and the rise of microplastics
D. Clean clothes, dirty environment: rethinking laundry
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文探讨了洗衣服次数的增加、洗涤剂市场规模的增长以及现代衣物材料的改变对环境问题的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry (洗衣服) habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more often, and were unaware that this could damage the environment. The brand, in partnership with Falmouth University, is publishing a report this week into the impact of laundry on the environment.(Ecover呼吁人们改变洗衣服的习惯,因为研究发现,人们感受到来自社会的压力,觉得自己需要更频繁地清洗衣物,而并未意识到这可能对环境造成损害。该品牌与法尔茅斯大学合作,将于本周发布一份关于洗衣对环境影响的报告。)”可知,Ecover的研究主要关注洗衣习惯对环境的影响,特别是人们在社会压力下频繁洗衣服而没有意识到这种行为可能对环境造成的损害。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The researchers found that 18% of the 2,000 Britons interviewed for the report believed—wrongly—that washing less frequently would not affect the planet.(研究人员发现,在参与该报告的2000名英国受访者中,有18%的人错误地认为,减少洗衣频率不会对地球产生影响。)”可知,18%的受访者认为减少洗衣服的频率不会影响环境。因此,有2000×18%=360名受访的英国人认为少洗衣服不会对环境造成危害。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Dr. Cui Su, from the school of communication, Falmouth University, who worked on the report said, “For decades, our relationship with laundry has been shaped by powerful cultural forces and advertising that have conditioned us to believe that ‘perfectly clean’ is the only acceptable standard. From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”(参与该报告的法尔茅斯大学传播学院学者Dr. Cui Su表示:“几十年来,我们与洗衣的关系一直受到强大的文化力量和广告的影响,这些因素使我们习惯于相信‘完美洁净’是唯一可接受的标准。从刚洗过的衣服的气味到面料的清新感,洁净不仅被呈现为一种必需品,更被视为成功的体现。”)”可知,Dr. Cui Su认为,几十年来,强大的文化力量和广告塑造了我们与洗衣服的关系,使我们习惯于相信“完全干净”是唯一可接受的标准,清洁不仅是一种必需品,而且是成功的体现。由此可知,Dr. Cui Su暗示了我们被绝对的清洁误导了。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry (洗衣服) habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more often, and were unaware that this could damage the environment.(Ecover呼吁人们改变洗衣服的习惯,因为研究发现,人们感受到来自社会的压力,觉得自己需要更频繁地清洗衣物,而并未意识到这可能对环境造成损害。)”并通读全文可知,本文探讨了洗衣服次数的增加、洗涤剂市场规模的增长以及现代衣物材料的改变对环境问题的影响,故D项“Clean clothes, dirty environment: rethinking laundry(干净的衣服,被污染的环境:重新思考洗衣服)”能概括全文内容,可以作本文标题。
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。
Do you want to learn the material you’re studying — like, really learn it? ____16____ One learning theory suggests that if you overlearn, you’ll gain the ability to do something without having to think about it — and eventually get more knowledge. Here’s what overlearning is and how to do it.
What is overlearning?
Simply put, overlearning means studying something even once you’re sure you know it. Don’t stop reviewing or studying just because you succeeded in memorizing something. ____17____
The purpose of overlearning is to make the task easy to ensure it is completed to a high standard with no stress. For example, a student wants to pass his/her spelling test which has 10 words. Knowing about overlearning, he/she doesn’t just memorize each word, but also learns about the origins of each word. ____18____ Similarly, a teacher wanting to learn about teaching strategies might not simply read one book — they may read ten books, watch videos, attend lectures (and maybe even write their own book).
____19____
Review the material you’ve already known front to back. For example, when using the Leitner method, always review all the flashcards you’re assigned on a particular day, even if you feel like passing over them because you got them right last time. Repeatedly going over the material you know well is the key to overlearning and eventual automatic recall.
____20____ This can be as easy as rereading your notes, or as difficult as taking practice tests. Continually reintroducing familiar ideas to yourself will dig them deeper into your long term memory.
A. How do you overlearn?
B. How do you schedule your time?
C. Overlearning has several benefits.
D. Then what you need to do is overlearn it.
E. This takes time, but it makes the spelling test a walk in the park.
F. Instead, keep going, digging it deeper and deeper into your brain.
G. Set aside time each week to review materials you’ve already mastered.
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. E 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了超量学习的定义、作用,并具体讲解了开展超量学习的具体方法,帮助人们高效掌握知识。
【16题详解】
上文“Do you want to learn the material you’re studying — like, really learn it?(你想学好正在学习的知识吗——真正地掌握它?)”提出如何真正掌握知识的问题,下文“One learning theory suggests that if you overlearn, you’ll gain the ability to do something without having to think about it—and eventually get more knowledge.(一种学习理论表明,如果你进行超量学习,你将能够不假思索地完成事情,最终收获更多知识)”引出超量学习的概念。D选项“Then what you need to do is overlearn it.(那么你需要做的就是超量学习)”承接上文问题,引出下文核心话题超量学习。
【17题详解】
上文“Simply put, overlearning means studying something even once you’re sure you know it. Don’t stop reviewing or studying just because you succeeded in memorizing something.(简单来说,超量学习就是即便你确定自己掌握了知识,依然继续学习。不要因为成功记住内容就停止复习和学习)”指出即使确定掌握知识也不要停止学习。F选项“Instead, keep going, digging it deeper and deeper into your brain.(相反,坚持学习,将知识在脑海中钻研得越来越深)”承接上文,说明正确的做法,与上文Don’t stop形成呼应。
【18题详解】
上文“For example, a student wants to pass his/her spelling test which has 10 words. Knowing about overlearning, he/she doesn’t just memorize each word, but also learns about the origins of each word.(例如,一名学生想要通过十个单词的拼写测试,了解超量学习后,他不仅记忆单词,还学习每个单词的起源)”列举学生超量学习的例子。E选项“This takes time, but it makes the spelling test a walk in the park.(这需要花费时间,但能让拼写考试变得轻而易举)”承接上文事例,说明超量学习带来的效果,同时引出下文同类举例。
【19题详解】
设空处为本段小标题,需概括本段核心内容。下文“Review the material you’ve already known front to back... Repeatedly going over the material you know well is the key to overlearning and eventual automatic recall.(彻底复习已经掌握的知识……反复温习熟知的内容是超量学习、实现自主回忆的关键)”详细介绍了开展超量学习的具体方法。A选项“How do you overlearn?(如何进行超量学习?)”概括段落主旨,贴合小标题设问格式,与下文内容对应。
【20题详解】
下文“This can be as easy as rereading your notes, or as difficult as taking practice tests. Continually reintroducing familiar ideas to yourself will dig them deeper into your long term memory.(这可以是简单的重读笔记,也可以是难度较高的模拟测试,不断温习熟悉的知识,能将其深化为长期记忆)”介绍了具体的复习方式和作用。G选项“Set aside time each week to review materials you’ve already mastered.(每周留出时间复习已经掌握的知识)”引出下文各类复习方式,起到总起段落的作用。

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
In the town of Greenfield, a group of three adventurous spirits — Jack, Simon, and Lucas — had discovered an ancient map in Jack’s grandfather’s house. The map, yellowed with age, described a mysterious island that had the legendary Silver Falcon, a statue that was said to award its finder enormous wisdom and fortune.
As typical eighth graders with the excitement of discovery and dreams of greatness, they decided they would be the ones to discover this hidden treasure. They agreed to start this search during the up-and-coming spring break, keeping their plans a secret from the adults who would undoubtedly discourage such a dangerous adventure.
The days that followed were filled with preparation. They read books on survival, learned about the stars for navigation, and tested their courage in smaller woods. The boys were united by their unshakable determination and the promise of an adventure that could change their lives forever.
As spring break began, they set out just as the sun painted the sky with colors of orange and gold. They felt a mixture of excitement and slight nervousness. They carried backpacks filled with supplies and the ancient map that they hoped would lead them to glory.
The beginning of their journey was full of laughter and songs around the campfire, but as days passed, the trip’s reality set in. The path grew more dangerous, and the map guided them through thick woods and muddy wetlands. They learned to work together as their friendship was tested by constant challenges. Slowly, the island drew nearer.
A conflict arose when they reached the foot of Mount Veritas, the final barrier before reaching the island. Lucas twisted (扭伤) his ankle, and the slightest movement sent sharp pains shooting through his leg. With time running out, Jack and Simon had to make a choice:should they push on and risk Lucas’ well-being or turn back after coming so far?
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
At crossroads, Jack and Simon looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When reaching the Silver Falcon, the three boys found no fortune there at all.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
At crossroads, Jack and Simon looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking. They realized they couldn’t leave Lucas behind and that the statue could wait, but their friendship could not. With great determination and strengthened bonds, they constructed a makeshift stretcher and carried Lucas through the last leg of their journey. As they reached the top of the last hill, the island revealed itself in all its glory. It was more impressive than they could have ever imagined. The Silver Falcon stood in the center, its wings shining in the sunlight.
When reaching the Silver Falcon, the three boys found no fortune there at all. At that time, they realized the true treasure of their journey. It wasn’t about the wisdom or fortune the Silver Falcon could bring — it was about the memories they had created together and the lessons they had learned along the way. In an unexpected turn, the Silver Falcon seemed to acknowledge their growth. As they stood before it, its eyes shone brightly, and the forest around them came alive with the songs of birds and rustling leaves. A soft voice filled the clearing, congratulating them on their bravery and unity.

I’d made some unusual plans for my trip to Switzerland — paddleboarding, kayaking — so I was prepared for some novel experiences. But I also found some unexpected life lessons on the way.
Over a week I tried new things with varying levels of success. As an adult beginner, I concentrated on the effort, knowing full well that the outcome was beyond my control. This became clear as I held a paddleboard on the blue waters of Lake Constance. Sitting astride my paddle, I rowed away from the water’s edge and then practiced what I learnt minutes ago from my paddleboarding instructor. I managed to stand for a few seconds before crashing down into the lake. After what felt like my 10th collapse, I felt tired and ready to give up. The voice of self-doubt kept getting louder but I chose to silence it, focusing on the sun, waves and water instead as the instructor had suggested. By not giving up, I gained more than had I not tried at all.
Sometimes it takes more than one try and one situation to drive home a point. When I thought I was done being tested, I found myself again on the water’s surface a few days later. This time in a kayak. Having kayaked many times before, I was confident. One by one we followed our guide Gaitanos on the lake. I tried my best to handle the oar (桨), but soon I floated away from the group. In a panic (恐慌) I began to row even faster. But this pushed me further away. Exhausted, I waited for rescue. When Gaitanos caught up with me, he patiently guided me on how to oar. As I tried harder and harder, my arms burning, he told me to simply do what I knew. The minute I let go and relaxed, I managed to get control over my kayak and steered it in the direction I wanted.
In that moment, Gaitanos gave me an important life lesson: when things go wrong, sometimes all we need to do is approach the situation with a calm mind. As we rowed towards the group, everyone cheered me on. I felt proud of myself, for having tried, failed and learnt.
4. What did the author expect before trying new things on the trip?
A. To shake off years of self-doubt.
B. To build good trust with the instructor.
C. To master paddleboarding and kayaking.
D. To focus on the effort rather than the result.
5. What does the underlined phrase “drive home a point” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Take a long drive home. B. Learn from failures carefully.
C. Stress the point too much. D. Understand the lesson completely.
6. What’s the author’s first reaction when floating away?
A. He shouted for assistance. B. He rowed faster in a panic.
C. He waited for the guide to help. D. He calmly improved his method.
7. What life lesson did the author learn from Gaitanos?
A. Value physical strength. B. Follow instructions strictly.
C. Stay calm in difficult situations. D. Pursue teamwork and cooperation.
C
Bluestreak cleaner wrasse (蓝纹裂唇鱼) are small, territorial fish that forcefully beat back invaders. But when they have access to a mirror, the fish size themselves up before deciding whether or not to fight.
About the size of a human finger, bluestreak cleaner wrasse are tiny, blue, black and white fish. Scientists already knew they were smart creatures. In 2018, they became the first fish to pass what’s known as the mirror test, an experiment used to measure self-awareness by judging whether or not an animal recognizes its own reflection. Last year, researchers also showed that bluestreak cleaner wrasse could recognize themselves in photos after looking at their reflection in a mirror. Scientists wanted to explore their self-awareness on an even deeper level, so they set up a series of new laboratory experiments. They shared their findings in a new paper.
In the first stage, researchers placed a bluestreak cleaner wrasse inside a clear fish tank. Then, they held photos against the glass showing bluestreak cleaner wrasses of varying sizes — some that were 10 percent larger than the fish in the tank, and some that were 10 percent smaller. No matter which photo the scientists showed, the bluestreak cleaner wrasse inside the tank tried to attack it.
Next, the team repeated the same experiment but added a mirror to the tank. The fish checked out their own reflection before deciding whether to fight — and they would only battle photos of smaller invaders, not larger ones. To scientists, this suggests that bluestreak cleaner wrasse are capable of understanding their own body size, as well as figuring out if they are bigger or smaller than a competitor.
There are no mirrors in the wild, so the findings also suggest that bluestreak cleaner wrasse adapted and learned to use the mirror as a self-preservation tool. This discovery can help make clear the similarities between human and non-human animal self-awareness and provide important clues to explain how self-awareness has evolved.
8. What’s the purpose of the new laboratory experiments on bluestreak cleaner wrasse?
A. To observe their territorial behavior.
B. To determine their recognition ability.
C. To further explore their self-awareness.
D. To see if they actually pass the mirror test.
9. How did bluestreak cleaner wrasse react when they saw photos of their same kind in the first stage?
A. They greeted the photos. B. They attacked the photos.
C. They ignored the photos. D. They sized the photos up.
10. What does bluestreak cleaner wrasse’s behavior in the presence of a mirror suggest?
A. They have no idea of their own reflection.
B. They have no concept of self-preservation.
C. They can adapt to new environments quickly.
D. They can compare their own body size with that of others.
11. What is the significance of the bluestreak cleaner wrasse’s ability to use a mirror?
A. It proves they are smarter than other fish in the world.
B. It confirms they can identify potential competitors ahead.
C. It offers understanding of the evolution of self-awareness.
D. It shows they can be a tool for human self-awareness studies.

Ecover is calling for a change in our laundry (洗衣服) habits after research found people felt under societal pressure to wash their clothes more often, and were unaware that this could damage the environment. The brand, in partnership with Falmouth University, is publishing a report this week into the impact of laundry on the environment. The researchers found that 18% of the 2,000 Britons interviewed for the report believed — wrongly — that washing less frequently would not affect the planet. One in 10 felt pressure to do the laundry more often.
The report also found that 75% of people in recent studies mentioned fear of judgment from others for wearing the same clothes multiple days in a row. Model and environmental activist Lily Cole, who will chair a panel discussion on the findings in London this week, said she had experienced this. “The attitude has changed in recent years, but I was in the sidebar of shame a few times for wearing the same look on the red carpet,” she said.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed the number of wash loads in the UK increased by 9.6% from 6.2 bn to 6.8 bn between 2005 and 2014. It is still increasing year by year. The global detergent (洗涤剂) market size was valued at USD 119.34 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2030. Pollution from detergent causes serious risks to natural ecosystems. Changes to the materials used to make modern clothes have worsened the problem — washing clothes made from man-made fabrics accounts for about 8% of the microplastics released into our water.
Dr. Cui Su, from the school of communication, Falmouth University, who worked on the report said, “For decades, our relationship with laundry has been shaped by powerful cultural forces and advertising that have conditioned us to believe that ‘perfectly clean’ is the only acceptable standard. From the smell of freshly washed clothes to the freshness of fabrics, cleanliness has been presented not just as a necessity, but as a reflection of success.”
12. What is the main concern of Ecover’s research on laundry habits?
A. The rise in the number of wash loads in the UK.
B. The increase in the global detergent market size.
C. The change in materials used to make modern clothes.
D. The impact of washing clothes more often on the environment.
13. How many Britons interviewed thought washing less would cause little harm to the environment?
A. 130. B. 200. C. 360. D. 1,500.
14. What does Dr. Cui Su mean in the last paragraph?
A. We are misled about perfect cleanliness.
B. Views on cleanliness haven’t changed.
C. People naturally prefer clean clothes.
D. Cleanliness is a personal choice.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Clean clothes: a reflection of success
B. The role of advertising in laundry habits
C. Laundry trends and the rise of microplastics
D. Clean clothes, dirty environment: rethinking laundry

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。
Do you want to learn the material you’re studying — like, really learn it? ____16____ One learning theory suggests that if you overlearn, you’ll gain the ability to do something without having to think about it — and eventually get more knowledge. Here’s what overlearning is and how to do it.
What is overlearning?
Simply put, overlearning means studying something even once you’re sure you know it. Don’t stop reviewing or studying just because you succeeded in memorizing something. ____17____
The purpose of overlearning is to make the task easy to ensure it is completed to a high standard with no stress. For example, a student wants to pass his/her spelling test which has 10 words. Knowing about overlearning, he/she doesn’t just memorize each word, but also learns about the origins of each word. ____18____ Similarly, a teacher wanting to learn about teaching strategies might not simply read one book — they may read ten books, watch videos, attend lectures (and maybe even write their own book).
____19____
Review the material you’ve already known front to back. For example, when using the Leitner method, always review all the flashcards you’re assigned on a particular day, even if you feel like passing over them because you got them right last time. Repeatedly going over the material you know well is the key to overlearning and eventual automatic recall.
____20____ This can be as easy as rereading your notes, or as difficult as taking practice tests. Continually reintroducing familiar ideas to yourself will dig them deeper into your long term memory.
A. How do you overlearn?
B. How do you schedule your time?
C. Overlearning has several benefits.
D. Then what you need to do is overlearn it.
E. This takes time, but it makes the spelling test a walk in the park.
F. Instead, keep going, digging it deeper and deeper into your brain.
G. Set aside time each week to review materials you’ve already mastered.

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。
In the town of Greenfield, a group of three adventurous spirits — Jack, Simon, and Lucas — had discovered an ancient map in Jack’s grandfather’s house. The map, yellowed with age, described a mysterious island that had the legendary Silver Falcon, a statue that was said to award its finder enormous wisdom and fortune.
As typical eighth graders with the excitement of discovery and dreams of greatness, they decided they would be the ones to discover this hidden treasure. They agreed to start this search during the up-and-coming spring break, keeping their plans a secret from the adults who would undoubtedly discourage such a dangerous adventure.
The days that followed were filled with preparation. They read books on survival, learned about the stars for navigation, and tested their courage in smaller woods. The boys were united by their unshakable determination and the promise of an adventure that could change their lives forever.
As spring break began, they set out just as the sun painted the sky with colors of orange and gold. They felt a mixture of excitement and slight nervousness. They carried backpacks filled with supplies and the ancient map that they hoped would lead them to glory.
The beginning of their journey was full of laughter and songs around the campfire, but as days passed, the trip’s reality set in. The path grew more dangerous, and the map guided them through thick woods and muddy wetlands. They learned to work together as their friendship was tested by constant challenges. Slowly, the island drew nearer.
A conflict arose when they reached the foot of Mount Veritas, the final barrier before reaching the island. Lucas twisted (扭伤) his ankle, and the slightest movement sent sharp pains shooting through his leg. With time running out, Jack and Simon had to make a choice:should they push on and risk Lucas’ well-being or turn back after coming so far?
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
At crossroads, Jack and Simon looked at each other and understood what the other was thinking.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When reaching the Silver Falcon, the three boys found no fortune there at all.
