This project came from a special coursc led by Professor Rob Duarte.Students worked in groups,each focusing on a different specics:giraffes,Komodo dragons,or birds:They studied animal behaviours,researched safe materials,and made early models at the university's Innovation Hub.After receiving expert feedback from the zoo staff,they continued to improve their designs. Senior student Kate Casey designed a feeding toy for giraffes.She made a large container with many holes arranged in a giraffe pattem.The container has two levels,which forces the giraffes to stretch their tongues and exercise their mouth muscles for a longer time.This mimics their natural search for leaves on thomy (trees,turning feeding into a fun and healthy challenge.Another student,Audrey Lendvay,created enrichment toys for birds that made them more active and playful. When the students brought their toys to the zoo,they watched the animals interact under staff supervision ()The staff were deeply impressed by the students'work.Senior bird keeper Danielle Minkus said the creativity and quality went far beyond her expectations.Animal well-being officer Alexis Hart added that helping animals live their best life is everyone's goal. "Projects like this show how creative thinking and hands-on learning can connect people and institutions in ways that make a real difference,"Duarte said."It's about building bridges-between art and science,students and professionals,and the university and the broader community. The project also opened students'eyes to new career paths they had never considered before. Kate Casey said she never knew such jobs existed in animal enrichment and interdisciplinary ( design.In the end,these young artists took pride in helping zoo animals find a little more wild joy in their daily lives. 24.What was the goal of the students'project? A.Career exploration:B.Animal welfare. C.Material testing. D.Staff training. 25.How did Kate Casey's toy benefit the giraffes? A.It increased their food intake. B.It sped up their feeding. C.It protected them from thorns. D.It stretched their tongues. 26.What does the underlined word"mimics"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Replaces. B.Improves. C.Copies. D.Discovers. 27.What is the main message of the last two paragraphs? A.The importance of hands-on student projects. B.The need for more zoo-based art programmes. C.The difficulty of designing toys for animals. D.The value of connecting different fields. 高二英语试题第5页（共12页） Q Whether you prefer WeChat,Twitter,or Faccbook,your social media profile is sending a silent message about who you are.While these platforms are great for connecting,it is easy to accidentally come across as conceited(自负的)，angy,or shallow.Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world. Take selfies()for example.It is perfectly appropriate to have a picture of yourself as your profile photo.However,if almost every picture you post is just of you looking pretty,you are likely to leave the impression that you are full of yourself.Psychologist Sarah Schewitz points out that there is much more to a person than just a pretty face,and users should show other meaningful aspects of their lives. Furthermore,your online tone matters.Some people use social media to complain about their daily struggles or engage in angry debates.Constantly posting negative thoughts tells the world that you are not a happy person.Instead of adding negativity to the internet,it is highly recommended to focus on the positive sides of life.On the other hand,painting an unrealistically perfect picture of your life can also be problematic.Many people only post their amazing achievements,making their lives seem perfect.This often makes friends feel stressed.Psychologists remind us that everyone faces challenges,and sharing the reality of life,rather than just the highlights,makes you more relatable. If you want to make sure your posts reflect who you are,a good guideline,according to Schewitz. is to take a breath before clicking."Before posting something,ask yourself:Is this going to add positivity to the world or take away from it?If the answer is the latter,don't post it.There's enough negativity out there without you sharing about how terrible your day was.If you need support,call a friend,don't subject the whole world to your complaints,"Schewitz suggests. 28.What does the author point out in paragraph 1? A.Online acts reflect inner qualities. B.Social content is shallow. C.Users hide their true characters D.Chats bring misunderstanding. 29.What can be inferred about the perfect selfies on platforms? A.They build your confidence. B.They create a self-centered image. C.They make you better understood. D.They illustrate your meaningful.sides 30.What does the author suggest about posting on social media? A.Express your emotions freely. B.Keep your personal life private C.Show positivity along with real life. D.Avoid sharing achievements with friends. 31.What is the best title of the text? A.What You Post Says About You B.The Secret of Taking Perfect Selfies C.How to Hide Your True Self Online D.Mind Your Manners on Social Media 高二英语试题第6页（共12页） D Digital dementia(呆)has become a common cognitive hypothesis(认知假说)in the2lst century-it has weakened our ability to remember phone numbers because we store them all in contact lists,filled our waking hours with passive screen time like mindlessly watching TV,and shifted our attention with cndless information streams. But does technology truly harm the aging brain?A comprchensive new study by researchers from the United States provides an uncxpected answer.Published in Nature Human Behaviour,the study combined data from 57 previous studies,which included more than 411,000 adults aged over 50.Surprisingly,the research overall revealed that higher use of computers,smartphones,and the internet might actually be associated with lower rates of cognitive decline,with a 58 percent risk reduction. Interestingly,the effect of technology use on brain function found in this study was similar to or stronger than other known protective factors,such as physical activity,or maintaining a healthy blood pressure.This benefit remained significant even when factors like socioeconomic status and overall health were taken into account. Why does technology use benefit older adults?Researchers suggest it comes down to how we use it.Activities,like reading or learning a new language,are known to protect our brains as we age. Similarly,greater engagement with technology may serve as a form of mental exercise.Adapting to software.updates or learning to use a new smartphone keeps the brain active.Additionally, technology helps older people stay socially connected and independent for longer. "The impact of AI on the aging brain will only become evident in future decades.However,our ability to adapt to historical technological innovations,and the potential for this to support cognitive function,suggest the future may not be all bad.For example,advances in brain-computer connections offer new hope for people with neurological(神经系统的)disease or disability..We need to carefully study how these technologies affect cognitive health over time,"says Nikki-Anne Wilson. 32.How.does.the author introduce the topic? A.By quoting an expert. B.By defining a concept. C.By providing statistics. D.By giving examples. 33.What can be inferred about the protective effect of technology use? A.It may outperform healthy management. B.It can reduce the need for exercise. C.It maintains the blood pressure. D.It varies with socioeconomic status. 34.What determines the benefits of technology use on older adults? A.The number of online friends. B.The mental and social stimulation. C.The frequency of software updates D.The independent and active reading 35.What are Nikki-Anne Wilson's words about? A.Advances in technological innovations. B.Possible direction for further study. C.More care to the neurologically disabled. D.Potential application of the findings. 高二英语试题第7页（共12页） 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。 The Children Who Taught Me How to Grow When I began my research,I believed that people were born either smart or not.Failure,in my mind,was a clear sign of one's limits.To understand how students dealt with setbacks,I invited children to solve puzzles in a quiet room at their school.The early puzzles were simple.36I expected frustration ()perhaps even tears.Instead,something extraordinary happened. One ten-year-old boy,faced with an especially difficult problem,pulled his chair closer to the table,eyes widened,and announced brightly,"I love a challenge!"Another child,sweating from hard work,looked up calmly and said,"37" I was shocked.To me,failure was something to fear or avoid.Yet here were children who seemed to welcome it.Were they different from everyone else-or did they possess a secret I had never learned? Those children became my unexpected teachers.38 They believed that abilities could be grown through effort and that each struggle was not a mark of failure,but a step toward getting smarter.For them,there was no such thing as failure-only learning. 39 I thought talent was carved in stone,and that mistakes revealed your limits.But these young students showed me a different truth that our greatest growth often comes from our hardest challenges. That day changed everything.I began studying the "growth mindset"-the belief that abilities can be developed through effort and resilience.40 Those children showed me that true education builds .character,and that persistence through difficulty is the real.foundation of a meaningful life. A.This is difficult,but informative. B.I guess I was never meant to be good at this. C.In their eyes,I saw not defeat,but discovery. D.They solved each puzzle without any difficulty. E.I,on the other hand,had lived with a fixed mindset. F.But soon I gave them challenges far beyond their age. G.Failures do not define us;how we rise from them does. 高二英语试题第8页（共12页） 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，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Metko watched her father struggle with weakucss,pain and other issues for years.After he was finally diagnosed (with two scrious illnesses,she chose a medical 41."I wish to help patients like my father and find better diagnostic tools and 42 plans,"she says.She selected biology at UW-Eau Claire,which she felt was the 43 place to prepare for medical school.

He was a man of few words who never smiled at anyone.He constantly rejected my drafts, leaving messy red-ink notes all over the empty space of my papers."Where is the core fact?" "Where is the emotion??”he would write.Those notes were harsh(严苛的)，but strangely,.they were also incredibly detailed,always pointing out exactly where and how a story was weak.Still,facing his sharp eyes and endless criticism day after day,I felt so defeated that I seriously considered quitting.I was convinced that he just didn't like me. Then,a huge story broke.A historic building downtown,one that had stood for over a century as a symbol of our town,suddenly caught fire,and our newspaper needed an urgent headline report. Yet,right at that important moment,Mr.Henderson unexpectedly fell ill.Before going to the hospital,he walked slowly to my desk,his face pale.Without saying a word,he placed his old,thick notebook on my desk,which he always carried with him.He tapped on it,and left me in total charge of the big report. Racing against time,I rushed to the smoke-filled scene,interviewed shocked witnesses,and gathered facts.The big fire had destroyed the roof,leaving only the black brick walls standing. When I hurried back,only three hours remained before the final deadline. Sitting before the computer with my shaking hands,I typed anxiously.I rewrote the opening three times,deleting sentences back and forth.Each version felt lifeless.I just couldn't find the core fact or the emotion Mr.Henderson always demanded. The wall clock counted down to my failure.Depressed,I pulled at my hair.My heart sank as the letters seemed to laugh at my helplessness. 高二英语试题第11页（共12页） 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly,my eyes fell upon Mr.Henderson's notebook. Two days later,Mr.Henderson walked in with a wide smile,holding a fresh newspaper.
