第二部分:阅读理解 (共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中 (A、B、C和D) 中,选出最佳选项。
A
There are many options for what to drink, but water is the best choice for most people. It is calorie-free and easy to find.
How much water do you need?
One of the most familiar sayings is to aim for “8 glasses a day,” but this may not be appropriate for every person. The National Academy of Medicine suggests a proper intake of daily fluids of about 13 cups and 9 cups for healthy men and women, respectively, with 1 cup equaling 8 ounces. Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or exposed to very warm climates. Lower amounts may be needed for those with smaller body sizes. It’s important to note that these amounts are not a daily target, but a general guide.
General recommendations for daily water intake
Age
Daily Intake
1-3 years
4 cups, or 32 ounces
4-8 years
5 cups, or 40 ounces
9-13 years
7-8 cups, or 56-64 ounces
14-18 years
8-11 cups, or 64-88 ounces
men, 19 and older
13 cups, or 104 ounces
women, 19 and older
9 cups, or 72 ounces
Is it possible to drink too much water?
There is no Tolerable Upper Intake Level for water because the body can usually remove the extra by passing water or sweating. However, a condition called water intoxication (中毒) is possible in rare cases, in which sodium (钠) levels in the blood fall too low. This is usually caused by drinking large amounts of water while at the same time losing sodium through sweat.
1. What factors affect daily water intake?
A. Age and personality.
B. Climate and diet.
C. Weight and mental condition.
D. Gender and physical activity.
2. Which daily water intake can be recommended for a 15-year-old?
A. 7 cups. B. 10 cups.
C. 12 cups. D. 13 cups.
3. Who most likely gets intoxication if drinking much water?
A. A runner in a marathon.
B. A hiker eating salty snacks.
C. A swimmer in a warm pool.
D. A cyclist fueled by sports drinks.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了水是健康的日常饮品,介绍了不同人群的每日适宜饮水量,同时指出饮水量需要根据个人情况灵活调整。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The National Academy of Medicine suggests a proper intake of daily fluids of about 13 cups and 9 cups for healthy men and women, respectively, with 1 cup equaling 8 ounces. Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or exposed to very warm climates. Lower amounts may be needed for those with smaller body sizes.(美国国家医学院建议,健康的男性每天摄入约13杯液体,健康的女性约9杯(1杯等于8盎司)。对于那些体力活动较多或处于炎热气候环境中的人,可能需要更多的水。体型较小的人则可能需要较少的水。)”可知,美国国家医学院建议,每天男性应摄入13杯水,而女性则需要9杯,且体力活动较多或处于炎热气候环境中的人,需要的水量更多,因此每天摄入的水量与性别和体力活动有关。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格中“14-18 years(14-18岁)”对应的数据“ 8-11 cups, or 64-88 ounces(8-11杯或者64-88盎司)”可知,对于15岁的人来说,每天建议喝8-11杯,即10杯也在此范围内。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, a condition called water intoxication (中毒) is possible in rare cases, in which sodium (钠) levels in the blood fall too low. This is usually caused by drinking large amounts of water while at the same time losing sodium through sweat.(然而,在极少数情况下可能出现一种称为“水中毒”的状况,此时血液中的钠含量降得过低。这通常是由于大量饮水的同时,通过汗液流失了钠。)”可知,“水中毒”的情况发生于饮用大量水的同时排出大量的汗,故可推知马拉松跑者大量出汗,且可能过度饮水,因此容易发生“水中毒”的情况。
B
Jack, an engineer, never imagined racing alone across the Atlantic, much less in a boat built himself. Yet he bought the materials on the internet and managed to build one.
The idea seemed impractical. Jack was then 47 and married for only two years. He and his wife Deby were building their future, and they had family to consider. Yet she encouraged him, because that is what they did for each other: support the best version of themselves.
In October 2023, Jack packed his boat and flew to Lagos. Ahead of him lay the first leg of a race that would take him to Antigua, eastern Caribbean. The finish line for the first leg was Lanzarote,100km off the coast of Africa.
After less than a week, Jack arrived in Lanzarote before leaving for the Caribbean. The days were bright and nights were completely dark. With the boat moving closer to the equators, heavy rain erased the sky. With the sails down and waves knocking, he stayed on the tiller (舵柄), doing his best to survive through the storm with its 40-mph winds. Eventually, the sky began to lighten. He got through the storm and was pleased with how the boat had held up.
The next night, more rain fell. Suddenly, a wave hit the boat and soon the world was spinning (旋转) around him. Thanks to the safety line, Jack didn’t fall off the boat despite the dizziness and tiredness after 28 days at sea. A few days later, the storm stopped. He lay on the boat, exhausted. Crossing the finish line, he sailed 3,186 miles in 33 days, 21 hours, 2minutes.
For nearly four years, he had been focused on crossing the Atlantic, and he’s now considering pushing himself in a new direction, like into a dance class. The idea fascinates and terrifies him. He admits to being a poor dancer, but with Deby’s help he might have a chance.
4. Why does the author say Jack’s idea was impractical?
A. Jack had no idea how to build a boat. B. Deby felt uncertain about their future.
C. Jack still faced varieties of life matters. D. Deby persuaded Jack to focus on family.
5. What is the author’s purpose in detailing the weather?
A. To indicate the race’s uniqueness. B. To stress the boat’s steadiness.
C. To highlight Jack’s struggle. D. To inspire readers’ sympathy.
6. Which of the following best describes Jack?
A. Reliable and caring. B. Brave and persuasive.
C. Ambitious and curious. D. Tough and adventurous.
7. What does Jack learn from the race?
A. He is fascinated by modern dance. B. He has the potential to try new things.
C. He owes his success to Deby’s help. D. He is still terrified by the long race.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位名叫杰克的工程师,独自驾船横跨大西洋的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Jack was then 47 and married for only two years. He and his wife Deby were building their future, and they had family to consider.(杰克当时47岁,结婚才两年。他和他的妻子黛比正在建设他们的未来,他们要考虑家庭)”可知,杰克当时47岁,结婚才两年,他和妻子正在规划未来,还有家庭需要考虑。这说明杰克仍然面临着各种各样的生活事务,在这种情况下独自划船穿越大西洋的想法不太现实。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。文章第四段描述了Jack在航行过程中遇到的各种恶劣天气,如“With the boat moving closer to the equators, heavy rain erased the sky. With the sails down and waves knocking, he stayed on the tiller (舵柄), doing his best to survive through the storm with its 40-mph winds.(随着船靠近赤道,大雨抹去了天空。在降下船帆和海浪拍打的情况下,他留在舵柄上,尽最大努力在时速40英里的风暴中生存下来)”以及第五段中“Suddenly, a wave hit the boat and soon the world was spinning (旋转) around him.(突然,一个波浪击中了船,很快,世界就在他周围旋转)”可推知,作者详细描述天气是为了突出杰克在比赛过程中所面临的艰难和挣扎,展现他在恶劣环境下努力生存和坚持的过程。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,杰克独自驾驶自己建造的船穿越大西洋,在航行过程中遇到了暴风雨等恶劣天气和危险情况,但他都坚持了下来并最终完成了比赛,这体现了他的坚韧(tough)。同时,他敢于尝试独自划船穿越大西洋这样具有挑战性和冒险性的事情,说明他具有冒险精神(adventurous)。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“For nearly four years, he had been focused on crossing the Atlantic, and he’s now considering pushing himself in a new direction, like into a dance class. The idea fascinates and terrifies him. He admits to being a poor dancer, but with Deby’s help he might have a chance.(近四年来,他一直专注于横渡大西洋,现在他正在考虑把自己推向一个新的方向,比如参加舞蹈班。这个想法使他既着迷又害怕。他承认自己跳得不好,但在黛比的帮助下,他可能有机会)”可知,杰克在专注于穿越大西洋近四年后,现在考虑向新的方向挑战自己,比如参加舞蹈课,虽然他承认自己跳舞不好,但觉得有机会尝试。由此推知,他从这次比赛中认识到自己有尝试新事物的潜力。故选B项。
C
In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks. While children and adults alike are delighted by the surprisingly complex images, one might wonder: what makes the art a reality?
The secret lies in the rice shoots (秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life. These colorful blocks and lines in fields form vivid designs: towering mountains, lovely animals, and even famous characters from movies and cartoons, which are easily recognizable from high places.
The tradition of the paddy art can trace back to just three decades ago in Inakadate, a small Japanese village where rice has been grown for over 2,000 years. The locals got the idea from the sight of children’s multi-colored paintings of rice paddies, then transformed the concept and experimented with it in rice planting. Their efforts paid off. The paddy fields became tourist attractions, greatly boosting the local economy.
Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care — weeding, watering, and protecting the crops.
While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan. The practice is also becoming all the rage in other countries. In Thailand, one man even arranged for a custom piece of art that spelt out a message asking his girlfriend to marry him.
Beyond serving as a striking visual display, the paddy art symbolizes harmony between tradition and innovation. It invites families to experience the beauty of farming, supports rural communities through tourism, and proves that even the ancient practice can adapt to modern creativity — all while keeping nature at its core.
8. What is special about the rice shoots?
A. They are created by famous artists. B. They grow better at high places.
C. Their colours vary with growth. D. Their designs are meant for movies.
9. What can we infer about creating the paddy art from paragraph 4?
A. It is weather-dependent. B. It is cooperation-based.
C. It is cost-effective. D. It is time-saving.
10. What does the underlined phrase “becoming all the rage” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Boosting confidence. B. Making profits.
C. Celebrating traditions. D. Gaining popularity.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. When Rice Grows with Artistry. B. More Harmonious, More Artistic
C. How Tourism Affects Rice Growing D. Modern Tech, Modern Farming
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了日本稻田艺术依靠各色秧苗在农田绘出图案,诞生于三十年前,需众人协作培育,如今风靡多国,融合农耕传统与现代创意,带动乡村旅游。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life.(随着不同品种的植物生长,每种植物会逐渐呈现出从绿色到紫色或金色的不同色彩,为艺术作品增添生机)”可知,水稻秧苗的颜色会随着生长而变化。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan.(它始于周密的规划:艺术家们起草详细的蓝图,精确地绘制出每种水稻品种的位置。农民和志愿者随后并肩合作,按照计划仔细地种植水稻秧苗)”可知,稻田艺术的创造是基于合作的。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan.(尽管稻田艺术的发源地仍是田舍馆村,但如今它已广泛延伸至日本各地)”以及后文“In Thailand, one man even arranged for a custom piece of art that spelt out a message asking his girlfriend to marry him.(在泰国,甚至有一个人安排定制了一件艺术品,上面拼出一条信息,请求他的女友嫁给他)”可知,稻田艺术起源村之外遍布日本,泰国也有人创作,说明变得流行了。故划线词意思是“获得流行”。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks. While children and adults alike are delighted by the surprisingly complex images, one might wonder: what makes the art a reality?(在日本中部,无尽的绿色稻田把风景画得像一块活生生的毯子,一种非凡的艺术形式悄然兴起——稻田艺术。这种艺术将普通的农田转化为色彩斑斓的艺术作品。无论是孩子还是成年人,都会对这些看似复杂却令人惊叹的画面感到喜悦,但人们不禁会想:是什么让这些艺术成为现实?)”结合文章主要说明了日本稻田艺术依靠各色秧苗在农田绘出图案,诞生于三十年前,需众人协作培育,如今风靡多国,融合农耕传统与现代创意,带动乡村旅游,由此可知,A选项“当水稻伴着艺术性生长”最符合文章标题。
D
When strong winds strike, birds do not push back — they sense the change and adjust their wings, and fish do the same in shifting currents. Unlike the graceful, flexible bodies of birds and fish, the rigid (刚性) structures of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) leave them easily knocked off course by sudden currents. To address this challenge, researchers have taken inspiration from nature to create a robotic wing that reduces the disturbance caused by underwater currents and improves stability.
The team, led by the University of Southampton, looked to use the power of proprioception — the body’s internal sense of position, movement, and force. Using proprioception, birds sense changes in air flow through their feathers, while fish rely on sensors along their bodies to monitor water motion.
To copy this functionality, the engineers developed an innovative e-skin that can sense subtle changes caused by water currents. It consists of flexible liquid metal wires encased in soft silicone (硅胶). These act like nerves, sending signals as the wing bends. When hit by a sudden current, the wing first bends naturally, absorbing part of the impact without any energy input. The signals then activate two tubes housed inside the wing body, which are hydraulically pressurized (液压) to change its hardness and shape, correcting any remaining imbalance.
The results of its tests were impressive. The wing reduced force caused by abrupt underwater currents by 87% compared with rigid wings on conventional AUVs. It responded up to four times faster than soft wings without proprioception (本体感觉) and used five times less energy than systems using heat to change shape. Its ability to stabilize itself was about twice that of a flying barn owl (仓鸮), although the researchers noted that such biological comparisons should be interpreted with caution.
Right now, combining the wing with existing vehicle architectures may present a significant engineering challenge. “Connecting it to current systems would require rigid connectors to link soft and rigid structures. Further improvements are needed to make the attachment more secure and protect the electrical connections,” said Leo Micklem, lead author of the research.
12. What problem does the robotic wing primarily solve?
A. Robots’ lack of internal sensors. B. AUVs’ high production cost.
C. Robots’ slow speed in still water. D. AUVs’ instability in currents.
13. What is the function of the tubes according to paragraph 3?
A. To absorb current impact. B. To adjust the wing’s form.
C. To generate electrical signals. D. To detect changes in water flow.
14. What do the test results in paragraph 4 suggest about the new wing?
A. Its ability to replace rigid AUVs. B. Its limitation in energy efficiency.
C. Its superiority over existing designs. D. Its struggle with large disturbances.
15. What challenge does the new wing face according to Micklem?
A. Connection of opposing materials. B. Improvement of sensing accuracy.
C. Reduction of manufacturing costs. D. Protection of the ocean environment.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了研究人员受鸟类和鱼类感知环境变化的启发,研发出一种仿生机翼,通过模拟本体感觉功能,使自主水下航行器 (AUV)在突发水流中保持稳定,并介绍了其工作原理、测试结果及当前面临的工程挑战。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Unlike the graceful, flexible bodies of birds and fish, the rigid (刚性) structures of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) leave them easily knocked off course by sudden currents. To address this challenge, researchers have taken inspiration from nature to create a robotic wing that reduces the disturbance caused by underwater currents and improves stability. (与鸟类和鱼类优雅、灵活的身体不同,自主水下航行器 (AUV)的刚性结构使它们在突发水流中轻易偏离航向。为应对这一挑战,研究人员从大自然中汲取灵感,创造出一种能减少水下水流干扰、提高稳定性的仿生机翼)”可知,AUV的刚性结构使其在突发水流中容易偏离航向,而仿生机翼正是为了解决AUV在水流中不稳定的问题。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The signals then activate two tubes housed inside the wing body, which are hydraulically pressurized (液压) to change its hardness and shape, correcting any remaining imbalance. (随后信号激活机翼体内的两根管子,通过液压加压来改变其硬度和形状,从而纠正剩余的不平衡)”可知,管内信号被激活后,通过液压加压来改变机翼的硬度和形状,从而纠正剩余的不平衡,即调整机翼的形态。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The results of its tests were impressive. The wing reduced force caused by abrupt underwater currents by 87% compared with rigid wings on conventional AUVs. It responded up to four times faster than soft wings without proprioception (本体感觉) and used five times less energy than systems using heat to change shape. (其测试结果令人印象深刻。与传统自主水下航行器(AUV)上的刚性翼相比,该翼因突发水下水流产生的作用力降低了87%。响应速度是无本体感觉软翼的4倍,能耗仅为利用热能改变形状系统的1/5)”可知,与传统刚性机翼、无本体感觉的软机翼以及热变形系统相比,新机翼在减力、响应速度和能耗方面均表现优异,说明其优于现有设计。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Connecting it to current systems would require rigid connectors to link soft and rigid structures. Further improvements are needed to make the attachment more secure and protect the electrical connections (将其与现有系统连接需要使用刚性连接器来连接柔性和刚性结构。还需要进一步改进,使连接更加牢固并保护电气连接)”可知,Micklem指出将软性机翼与现有刚性系统连接需要刚性连接器,连接对立性质的材料是当前面临的主要工程挑战。
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。
Measure Backward, Not Forward
We often measure progress by looking forward. We set goals and plan milestones to predict the future in various fields. For example, can we increase our earnings by 20 percent? Can we lose 20 pounds in the next 3 months? These are all forward-looking measurements. ____16____
Nearly every improvement we wish to make in life requires changes to our daily behaviors. Yet habits become so routine that we barely notice them. The more automatic a behavior is, the harder it is for us to spot its influence. This explains why bad habits often hold us back without our awareness. ____17____ That’s because this approach encourages us to reflect on recent actions and evaluate our choices and progress.
____18____ When measuring backward, we get to enjoy the progress we have made, instead of endlessly longing for an ideal future. We don’t have to put happiness off until we reach a future milestone or goal. Happiness is not just a finish line waiting far ahead. Focusing on how you can immediately improve over your past is more satisfying than comparing your current state to where you hope you’ll be some day.
Nevertheless, one warning about this strategy should be kept in mind. ____19____ If I used data from two years ago as a reference to measure progress and make plans, the decisions would surely go wrong. Whether in business, fitness, or personal relationships, using recent results to guide our next actions allows for continuous improvement.
Measuring backward does not mean abandoning our goals. ____20____ By shifting focus from what we lack to what we’ve achieved, we transform the journey of progress from a source of anxiety into a celebration of growth.
A. The further back you look, the better.
B. There is an additional benefit as well.
C. Instead, it reshapes the way we pursue them.
D. One effective way is to track your daily habits.
E. However, measuring backward is equally effective.
F. Measuring backward helps uncover these invisible patterns.
G. Short-term feedback should be prioritized over long-term feedback.
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. B 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了与其向前设定目标,不如向后衡量已取得的进步,以此重塑追求目标的方式并享受成长过程。
【16题详解】
上文“We often measure progress by looking forward. We set goals and plan milestones to predict the future in various fields. (我们经常通过向前看来衡量进步。我们在各个领域设定目标并规划里程碑来预测未来)”说明人们习惯向前设定目标。下文“Nearly every improvement we wish to make in life requires changes to our daily behaviors. (我们希望在生活中做出的几乎每一项改进都需要改变我们的日常行为)”转而讨论日常行为改变。空处承上启下,E选项“However, measuring backward is equally effective. (然而,向后衡量同样有效)”中的“However”转折前文,引出“向后衡量”这一核心概念,与后文内容相呼应,符合语境。
【17题详解】
上文“The more automatic a behavior is, the harder it is for us to spot its influence. This explains why bad habits often hold us back without our awareness. (一种行为越是自动化,我们就越难发现它的影响。这就解释了为什么坏习惯往往在不知不觉中阻碍我们)”指出习惯因自动化而难以察觉其影响。空后“That’s because this approach encourages us to reflect on recent actions and evaluate our choices and progress. (这是因为这种方法鼓励我们反思最近的行为,并评估我们的选择和进步)”解释这种方法的作用。F选项“Measuring backward helps uncover these invisible patterns. (向后衡量有助于揭示这些无形的模式)”中的“these invisible patterns”指代前文的“habits”及其“influence”,说明向后衡量的作用,与后文内容相呼应,符合语境。
【18题详解】
空后“When measuring backward, we get to enjoy the progress we have made, instead of endlessly longing for an ideal future. (当向后衡量时,我们能够享受已取得的进步,而不是无休止地渴望理想的未来)”介绍向后衡量的另一个好处。B选项“There is an additional benefit as well. (还有一个额外的好处)”起到承上启下的作用,引出下文关于享受当下进步的论述,符合语境。
【19题详解】
上文“Nevertheless, one warning about this strategy should be kept in mind. (尽管如此,关于这一策略的一个警告应该牢记在心)”提出警告。空后“If I used data from two years ago as a reference to measure progress and make plans, the decisions would surely go wrong. (如果我用两年前的数据作为参考来衡量进步并制定计划,决策肯定会出错)”举例说明使用过旧数据的危害。G选项“Short-term feedback should be prioritized over long-term feedback. (短期反馈应优先于长期反馈)”是对警告的具体阐述,指出应关注近期数据,与后文“using recent results”相呼应,符合语境。
【20题详解】
上文“Measuring backward does not mean abandoning our goals. (向后衡量并不意味着放弃我们的目标)”说明向后衡量与目标的关系。空后“By shifting focus from what we lack to what we’ve achieved, we transform the journey of progress from a source of anxiety into a celebration of growth. (通过将注意力从我们所缺乏的转移到我们已经实现的,我们将进步的旅程从焦虑的来源转变为对成长的庆祝)”具体说明这种转变带来的积极影响。C选项“Instead, it reshapes the way we pursue them. (相反,它重塑了我们追求目标的方式)”中的“Instead”承接前文,“them”指代“our goals”,进一步阐述了向后衡量对追求目标方式的改变,与后文内容相呼应,符合语境。

【答案】
Ranking Balanced Senior High Subjects
As the issue of subject selection is widely discussed, various arrangements have been proposed. I believe that physical education should come first, followed by science subjects, and then arts subjects.
First and foremost, a healthy body is the basis of good grades. Physical education can boost our energy and lift our spirits. Without sufficient energy, our minds become sluggish and unfocused. Moreover, science subjects improve our ability to solve problems. Most careers are related to these subjects. Furthermore, arts subjects are necessary as well, which not only improve our sense of beauty but also bring inner peace. Through arts subjects, we can appreciate the charm of the world and enrich our lives.
To put everything in a nutshell, physical education comes first, followed by science and arts subjects. This arrangement can make our study more effective.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以李华的身份,为学校英文报投稿,针对高中理科学科、人文科目、体育三类学习内容进行重要性排序,并结合自身感悟详细阐述排序理由。
【详解】1.词汇积累
基础:basis → foundation
解决:solve → tackle
提高,改善:improve → enhance
高效的:effective → efficient
2.句式拓展
合并句子
原句:Moreover, science subjects improve our ability to solve problems. Most careers are related to these subjects.
拓展句:Moreover, science subjects, which most careers are related to, improve our ability to solve problems.
【点睛】【高分句型1】As the issue of subject selection is widely discussed, various arrangements have been proposed. (运用As引导时间状语从句)
【高分句型2】Furthermore, arts subjects are necessary as well, which not only improve our sense of beauty but also bring inner peace. (运用which引导的非限制性定语从句,同时嵌套not only...but also...并列结构)

The National Academy of Medicine suggests a proper intake of daily fluids of about 13 cups and 9 cups for healthy men and women, respectively, with 1 cup equaling 8 ounces. Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or exposed to very warm climates. Lower amounts may be needed for those with smaller body sizes. It’s important to note that these amounts are not a daily target, but a general guide.
General recommendations for daily water intake
Age
Daily Intake
1-3 years
4 cups, or 32 ounces
4-8 years
5 cups, or 40 ounces
9-13 years
7-8 cups, or 56-64 ounces
14-18 years
8-11 cups, or 64-88 ounces
men, 19 and older
13 cups, or 104 ounces
women, 19 and older
9 cups, or 72 ounces
Is it possible to drink too much water?
There is no Tolerable Upper Intake Level for water because the body can usually remove the extra by passing water or sweating. However, a condition called water intoxication (中毒) is possible in rare cases, in which sodium (钠) levels in the blood fall too low. This is usually caused by drinking large amounts of water while at the same time losing sodium through sweat.
1. What factors affect daily water intake?
A. Age and personality.
B. Climate and diet.
C. Weight and mental condition.
D. Gender and physical activity.
2. Which daily water intake can be recommended for a 15-year-old?
A. 7 cups. B. 10 cups.
C. 12 cups. D. 13 cups.
3. Who most likely gets intoxication if drinking much water?
A. A runner in a marathon.
B. A hiker eating salty snacks.
C. A swimmer in a warm pool.
D. A cyclist fueled by sports drinks.

Jack, an engineer, never imagined racing alone across the Atlantic, much less in a boat built himself. Yet he bought the materials on the internet and managed to build one.
The idea seemed impractical. Jack was then 47 and married for only two years. He and his wife Deby were building their future, and they had family to consider. Yet she encouraged him, because that is what they did for each other: support the best version of themselves.
In October 2023, Jack packed his boat and flew to Lagos. Ahead of him lay the first leg of a race that would take him to Antigua, eastern Caribbean. The finish line for the first leg was Lanzarote,100km off the coast of Africa.
After less than a week, Jack arrived in Lanzarote before leaving for the Caribbean. The days were bright and nights were completely dark. With the boat moving closer to the equators, heavy rain erased the sky. With the sails down and waves knocking, he stayed on the tiller (舵柄), doing his best to survive through the storm with its 40-mph winds. Eventually, the sky began to lighten. He got through the storm and was pleased with how the boat had held up.
The next night, more rain fell. Suddenly, a wave hit the boat and soon the world was spinning (旋转) around him. Thanks to the safety line, Jack didn’t fall off the boat despite the dizziness and tiredness after 28 days at sea. A few days later, the storm stopped. He lay on the boat, exhausted. Crossing the finish line, he sailed 3,186 miles in 33 days, 21 hours, 2minutes.
For nearly four years, he had been focused on crossing the Atlantic, and he’s now considering pushing himself in a new direction, like into a dance class. The idea fascinates and terrifies him. He admits to being a poor dancer, but with Deby’s help he might have a chance.
4. Why does the author say Jack’s idea was impractical?
A. Jack had no idea how to build a boat. B. Deby felt uncertain about their future.
C. Jack still faced varieties of life matters. D. Deby persuaded Jack to focus on family.
5. What is the author’s purpose in detailing the weather?
A. To indicate the race’s uniqueness. B. To stress the boat’s steadiness.
C. To highlight Jack’s struggle. D. To inspire readers’ sympathy.
6. Which of the following best describes Jack?
A. Reliable and caring. B. Brave and persuasive.
C. Ambitious and curious. D. Tough and adventurous.
7. What does Jack learn from the race?
A. He is fascinated by modern dance. B. He has the potential to try new things.
C. He owes his success to Deby’s help. D. He is still terrified by the long race.
C
In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks. While children and adults alike are delighted by the surprisingly complex images, one might wonder: what makes the art a reality?
The secret lies in the rice shoots (秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life. These colorful blocks and lines in fields form vivid designs: towering mountains, lovely animals, and even famous characters from movies and cartoons, which are easily recognizable from high places.
The tradition of the paddy art can trace back to just three decades ago in Inakadate, a small Japanese village where rice has been grown for over 2,000 years. The locals got the idea from the sight of children’s multi-colored paintings of rice paddies, then transformed the concept and experimented with it in rice planting. Their efforts paid off. The paddy fields became tourist attractions, greatly boosting the local economy.
Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care — weeding, watering, and protecting the crops.
While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan. The practice is also becoming all the rage in other countries. In Thailand, one man even arranged for a custom piece of art that spelt out a message asking his girlfriend to marry him.
Beyond serving as a striking visual display, the paddy art symbolizes harmony between tradition and innovation. It invites families to experience the beauty of farming, supports rural communities through tourism, and proves that even the ancient practice can adapt to modern creativity — all while keeping nature at its core.
8. What is special about the rice shoots?
A. They are created by famous artists. B. They grow better at high places.
C. Their colours vary with growth. D. Their designs are meant for movies.
9. What can we infer about creating the paddy art from paragraph 4?
A. It is weather-dependent. B. It is cooperation-based.
C. It is cost-effective. D. It is time-saving.
10. What does the underlined phrase “becoming all the rage” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Boosting confidence. B. Making profits.
C. Celebrating traditions. D. Gaining popularity.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. When Rice Grows with Artistry. B. More Harmonious, More Artistic
C. How Tourism Affects Rice Growing D. Modern Tech, Modern Farming
D
When strong winds strike, birds do not push back — they sense the change and adjust their wings, and fish do the same in shifting currents. Unlike the graceful, flexible bodies of birds and fish, the rigid (刚性) structures of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) leave them easily knocked off course by sudden currents. To address this challenge, researchers have taken inspiration from nature to create a robotic wing that reduces the disturbance caused by underwater currents and improves stability.
The team, led by the University of Southampton, looked to use the power of proprioception — the body’s internal sense of position, movement, and force. Using proprioception, birds sense changes in air flow through their feathers, while fish rely on sensors along their bodies to monitor water motion.
To copy this functionality, the engineers developed an innovative e-skin that can sense subtle changes caused by water currents. It consists of flexible liquid metal wires encased in soft silicone (硅胶). These act like nerves, sending signals as the wing bends. When hit by a sudden current, the wing first bends naturally, absorbing part of the impact without any energy input. The signals then activate two tubes housed inside the wing body, which are hydraulically pressurized (液压) to change its hardness and shape, correcting any remaining imbalance.
The results of its tests were impressive. The wing reduced force caused by abrupt underwater currents by 87% compared with rigid wings on conventional AUVs. It responded up to four times faster than soft wings without proprioception (本体感觉) and used five times less energy than systems using heat to change shape. Its ability to stabilize itself was about twice that of a flying barn owl (仓鸮), although the researchers noted that such biological comparisons should be interpreted with caution.
Right now, combining the wing with existing vehicle architectures may present a significant engineering challenge. “Connecting it to current systems would require rigid connectors to link soft and rigid structures. Further improvements are needed to make the attachment more secure and protect the electrical connections,” said Leo Micklem, lead author of the research.
12. What problem does the robotic wing primarily solve?
A. Robots’ lack of internal sensors. B. AUVs’ high production cost.
C. Robots’ slow speed in still water. D. AUVs’ instability in currents.
13. What is the function of the tubes according to paragraph 3?
A. To absorb current impact. B. To adjust the wing’s form.
C. To generate electrical signals. D. To detect changes in water flow.
14. What do the test results in paragraph 4 suggest about the new wing?
A. Its ability to replace rigid AUVs. B. Its limitation in energy efficiency.
C. Its superiority over existing designs. D. Its struggle with large disturbances.
15. What challenge does the new wing face according to Micklem?
A. Connection of opposing materials. B. Improvement of sensing accuracy.
C. Reduction of manufacturing costs. D. Protection of the ocean environment.

Measure Backward, Not Forward
We often measure progress by looking forward. We set goals and plan milestones to predict the future in various fields. For example, can we increase our earnings by 20 percent? Can we lose 20 pounds in the next 3 months? These are all forward-looking measurements. ____16____
Nearly every improvement we wish to make in life requires changes to our daily behaviors. Yet habits become so routine that we barely notice them. The more automatic a behavior is, the harder it is for us to spot its influence. This explains why bad habits often hold us back without our awareness. ____17____ That’s because this approach encourages us to reflect on recent actions and evaluate our choices and progress.
____18____ When measuring backward, we get to enjoy the progress we have made, instead of endlessly longing for an ideal future. We don’t have to put happiness off until we reach a future milestone or goal. Happiness is not just a finish line waiting far ahead. Focusing on how you can immediately improve over your past is more satisfying than comparing your current state to where you hope you’ll be some day.
Nevertheless, one warning about this strategy should be kept in mind. ____19____ If I used data from two years ago as a reference to measure progress and make plans, the decisions would surely go wrong. Whether in business, fitness, or personal relationships, using recent results to guide our next actions allows for continuous improvement.
Measuring backward does not mean abandoning our goals. ____20____ By shifting focus from what we lack to what we’ve achieved, we transform the journey of progress from a source of anxiety into a celebration of growth.
A. The further back you look, the better.
B. There is an additional benefit as well.
C. Instead, it reshapes the way we pursue them.
D. One effective way is to track your daily habits.
E. However, measuring backward is equally effective.
F. Measuring backward helps uncover these invisible patterns.
G. Short-term feedback should be prioritized over long-term feedback.

The student’s request was a wake-up call. Then I read a book on leadership, which advises leaders to ____29____ opportunities rather than problems. I had been doing the opposite. My student’s feedback also ____30____ me to think back to why I decided to pursue my career in academia. I recalled the excitement I had felt as a postdoc, when ____31____ was king for me. I had thrived in a lab where people freely discussed ideas, driven by a genuine desire to uncover new truths. I wanted that ____32____ in my own lab.
Then I changed how I ____33____. I reduced meetings, provided training sessions, and granted more freedom. I am still busy, but happier and more creatively engaged.
