Their goal was to help the zoo animals stay happy and healthy, just like they would be in the wild. This project came from a special course led by Professor Rob Duarte. Students worked in groups, each focusing on a different species: 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 pattern. 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 thorny (多刺的) 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 (监督). 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 (跨学科的) design. In the end, these young artists took pride in helping zoo animals find a little more wild joy in their daily lives. 4. What was the goal of the students’ project? A. Career exploration. B. Animal welfare. C. Material testing. D. Staff training. 5. 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. 6. What does the underlined word “mimics” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Replaces. B. Improves. C. Copies. D. Discovers. 7. 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. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要报道了佛罗里达州立大学艺术生为动物园设计互动玩具，以改善动物福利并促进跨学科合作的创新实践。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Their goal was to help the zoo animals stay happy and healthy, just like they would be in the wild.(他们的目标是帮助动物园里的动物保持快乐和健康，就像它们在野外一样)”可知，该项目的核心目标是保障动物福利。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The container has two levels, which forces the giraffes to stretch their tongues and exercise their mouth muscles for a longer time.(这个容器分为两层，迫使长颈鹿伸长舌头并较长时间地锻炼口腔肌肉)”可知，Kate Casey设计的玩具能让长颈鹿伸展舌头。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“This mimics their natural search for leaves on thorny (多刺的) trees, turning feeding into a fun and healthy challenge. (这mimics它们在多刺树上寻找叶子的自然行为，将喂食变成了一项有趣而健康的挑战。)”可知，该玩具复刻了长颈鹿在多刺树上觅食树叶的自然行为，让进食变成趣味锻炼。mimics在此处表示“模仿、复刻”，与copy同义。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段的““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.” (Duarte说：“像这样的项目表明，创造性思维与动手实践能够以一种真正有效的方式，将人们与各机构联系起来。这是关于在艺术和科学、学生和专业人士、大学和更广泛的社区之间架起桥梁。”)”及最后一段的“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 (跨学科的) design. (该项目还让学生们看到了他们以前从未考虑过的新职业道路。Kate Casey说，她从来不知道在动物丰容和跨学科设计领域存在这样的工作)”可知，最后两段的主旨在于强调连接不同领域的价值。 C Whether you prefer WeChat, Twitter, or Facebook, 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), angry, or shallow. Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world. Take selfies (自拍) 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了社交媒体上的发帖内容、自拍习惯和网络语气如何反映并塑造个人形象与性格特征。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world.(心理学家指出，我们的网络行为向数字世界揭示了我们真实的价值观和个性)”可知，作者在第一段指出，人们的在线行为反映了其内在品质。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“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.(然而，如果你发布的几乎每张照片都只是你漂亮的模样，你很可能会给人留下自负的印象)”以及第三段中“Many people only post their amazing achievements, making their lives seem perfect. This often makes friends feel stressed.(许多人只发布他们惊人的成就，让他们的生活看起来完美无缺。这常常让朋友们感到压力)”可知，过度发布完美的自拍或成就，会塑造出一种以自我为中心的形象。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Psychologists remind us that everyone faces challenges, and sharing the reality of life, rather than just the highlights, makes you more relatable.(心理学家提醒我们，人人皆有困顿之时，分享生活的现实原貌，而非仅仅展示高光时刻，会让你更显真实、更接地气)”以及最后一段的““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.(舍维茨建议道：“发帖之前，不妨先问问自己：这会给世界增添一份正能量，还是徒增消沉？若答案是后者，便勿要发布。世间已然充斥着足够多的负面声音，无须再添一笔你今日的糟心事。若需慰藉，拨通好友电话即可，切莫让全天下都沦为你的抱怨听众。”)”可知，作者建议发帖时应兼顾现实生活与积极态度。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world.(心理学家指出，我们的网络言行会向这个数字世界袒露真实的价值观与个性)”可知，全文围绕社交媒体发布的内容会向他人传递你的个人形象、反映真实的你展开，核心主题是你发布的内容会说明你是怎样的人。A项“你的发帖内容揭示了你的为人”最能概括全文主旨，适合作本文的标题。 D Digital dementia (痴呆) has become a common cognitive hypothesis (认知假说) in the 21st 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 endless information streams. But does technology truly harm the aging brain? A comprehensive new study by researchers from the United States provides an unexpected 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了研究发现合理使用数字技术可能降低老年人认知衰退风险，并探讨其背后机制与未来研究方向。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Digital dementia (痴呆) has become a common cognitive hypothesis (认知假说) in the 21st 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 endless information streams.(数字痴呆已成为21世纪常见的认知假说——它削弱了我们记忆电话号码的能力，因为我们将其存储在通讯录中；它用无意识地看电视等被动屏幕时间填充了我们的清醒时光；它用无尽的信息流转移了我们的注意力)”可知，作者通过定义新概念引出话题。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“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.(有趣的是，这项研究发现的技术使用对大脑功能的影响，类似于或强于其他已知的保护因素，例如体育锻炼或维持健康血压)”可推知，技术使用的保护作用在效果上可能优于健康管理（如保持血压健康）。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“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.(同样，更多地使用科技产品可以作为一种精神锻炼。适应软件更新或学习使用新智能手机可以让大脑保持活跃。此外，技术帮助老年人保持更长时间的社交联系和独立性)”可知，技术使用对老年人的益处取决于其带来的脑力刺激和社会联系，即精神和社会层面的刺激。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的““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.(Nikki-Anne Wilson表示：“人工智能对老龄化大脑的影响，未来几十年才会显现。然而，我们适应历次技术创新的能力，以及技术助力认知功能的潜力，都预示着未来未必全然黯淡。譬如，脑机连接技术的进步，便为罹患神经系统疾病或身体残疾的人群带来了新的希望。我们需要审慎研究这些技术如何随时间推移影响认知健康。”)”可知，Nikki-Anne Wilson主要指出了当前研究的局限性，并提出了未来需要关注的研究方向。 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. ____16____ I expected frustration (挫败), 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, “____17____” 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. ____18____ 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. ____19____ 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. ____20____ 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. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者通过观察孩子们面对难题的态度，从固定型思维转向成长型思维的心路历程。 【16题详解】 上文“The early puzzles were simple.(最初的谜题很简单)”说明实验初期题目容易。下文“I expected frustration (挫败), perhaps even tears. Instead, something extraordinary happened.(我本以为孩子们会沮丧，甚至流泪。相反，一些非同寻常的事情发生了)”讲述孩子面对难题积极的表现。空处和前文形成转折，说明作者随后设置超龄难题。F项“但很快我给他们出了远超年龄的挑战。”符合语境，通过转折词But引出后文孩子们面对困难时的反应，与后文“faced with an especially difficult problem”形成逻辑顺承。 【17题详解】 上文“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(一个十岁的男孩，面对一个特别困难的问题，把椅子拉得离桌子更近，眼睛睁得大大的，兴高采烈地说道：“我喜欢挑战！”另一个孩子，因为努力解题而出汗，平静地抬起头来说)”说明该孩子在面对困难时态度积极，空处为孩子乐观积极的话语。A项“这很难，但很有收获。”符合语境，体现了孩子将困难视为学习机会的成长型思维。 【18题详解】 上文“Those children became my unexpected teachers.(那些孩子成了我意想不到的老师)”提到那些孩子教会了作者一些道理。下文“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.(他们认为，能力可以通过努力来培养，每一次挣扎都不是失败的标志，而是朝着变得更聪明迈出的一步)”介绍孩子认为努力可以提升能力，空处承接上下文，呼应孩子的成长思维，C项“在他们的眼中，我看到的不是失败，而是发现。”符合语境，具体描述了孩子们眼中的光芒，是对“老师”形象的具体阐释。 【19题详解】 下文“I thought talent was carved in stone, and that mistakes revealed your limits.(我以为天赋是刻在石头上的，错误会暴露你的极限)”描述了作者过去的“固定型思维”。E项“另一方面，我一直秉持着固定型思维。”符合语境，该项通过on the other hand引出与孩子们截然不同的旧有观念，与下文内容紧密衔接。 【20题详解】 上文“I began studying the “growth mindset” — the belief that abilities can be developed through effort and resilience.(我开始研究“成长心态”——即相信能力可以通过努力和韧性来发展)”介绍了作者观念的转变。空处顺接前文，总结全文感悟，G项“失败不能定义我们；我们如何从失败中奋起才能。”符合语境，是对成长型思维的总结和升华，呼应了全文主旨。 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 weakness, pain and other issues for years.

However, to my disappointment, I was assigned to Mr. Henderson, a most cold and strict editor in the office. 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. 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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, my eyes fell upon Mr. Henderson’s notebook.​ Flipping it open with trembling fingers, I discovered it wasn’t filled with grand theories but meticulous observations: the smell of smoke mixed with old rain, the chipped paint on the doorknob, the exact shade of ash on the windowsills. Most strikingly, he had recorded a quote from the building’s caretaker years ago: “These walls remember every footstep.” Inspired, I wove these sensory details and the poignant quote into my lead. As the final seconds ticked away, I hit “Send” with a racing heart, praying the soul of the story had finally emerged from the ashes. Two days later, Mr. Henderson walked in with a wide smile, holding a fresh newspaper.​ He placed it on my desk, folded to reveal my byline on the front page. “You found the heartbeat,” he said, his voice softer than I’d ever heard. I stared at the headline, tears blurring my vision. He tapped the margin where he once wrote harsh critiques, now replaced by a single note in his neat script: “This is where the truth lives.” In that moment, I realized his coldness had been a crucible, forging not just my skills, but my understanding of empathy in storytelling. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了一位怀揣梦想却屡遭打击的新记者，在严厉导师因病缺席的危急时刻，通过导师留下的笔记本领悟到新闻写作的真谛，最终独立完成头版报道，实现了师徒间跨越冷漠的情感和解与精神传承的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者翻看笔记本获得写作灵感，紧急完善稿件并按时提交。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写编辑肯定作者的报道，作者解开误会、明白严苛教导的深意。 2.续写线索：发现笔记本——获取细节灵感——完善提交稿件——编辑归来表扬——解开误会——收获成长顿悟 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①发现：discover/find/spot ②凝视：stare at/gaze at/fix one’s eyes on 情绪类 ①备受鼓舞的：inspired/motivated/encouraged ②温柔平和的：soft/gentle/mild 【点睛】【高分句型1】As the final seconds ticked away, I hit “Send” with a racing heart, praying the soul of the story had finally emerged from the ashes.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，现在分词作状语，that引导的宾语从句，that被省略） 【高分句型2】I stared at the headline, tears blurring my vision.（运用了“名词+现在分词”构成的独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 保密★启用前 2025-2026学年度下学期期末高二参考试题 2026. 07 英语 （试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题。从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B Florida State University art students recently designed interactive toys for animals at Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens. Their goal was to help the zoo animals stay happy and healthy, just like they would be in the wild. This project came from a special course led by Professor Rob Duarte. Students worked in groups, each focusing on a different species: 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 pattern. 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 thorny (多刺的) 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 (监督). 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 (跨学科的) design. In the end, these young artists took pride in helping zoo animals find a little more wild joy in their daily lives. 4. What was the goal of the students’ project? A. Career exploration. B. Animal welfare. C. Material testing. D. Staff training. 5. 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. 6. What does the underlined word “mimics” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Replaces. B. Improves. C. Copies. D. Discovers. 7. 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. C Whether you prefer WeChat, Twitter, or Facebook, 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), angry, or shallow. Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world. Take selfies (自拍) 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. 8. 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. 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. 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 D Digital dementia (痴呆) has become a common cognitive hypothesis (认知假说) in the 21st 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 endless information streams. But does technology truly harm the aging brain? A comprehensive new study by researchers from the United States provides an unexpected 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. 12. 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. 13. 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. 14. 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. 15. 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. 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. ____16____ I expected frustration (挫败), 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, “____17____” 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. ____18____ 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.

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.

However, to my disappointment, I was assigned to Mr. Henderson, a most cold and strict editor in the office. 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. 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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
