Like most other parrots, parakeets (长尾鹦鹉) are known to have the ability to imitate the way humans speak. Now a new study has found that when parakeets make sounds, their brains work similarly to the way human brains function when we speak.
The study was led by Michael Long, a professor at New York University. Long’s team focused on common parakeets. They recorded their brain activity as they made sounds, focusing on a part of the brain called the anterior arcopallium (AAC), which is known to affect vocal (嗓子的) muscles.
They found that certain brain cells became active when the birds made specific sounds. Some cells seemed to be involved in producing consonants, and others created vowels. Some showed activity when the birds made high-pitched (声调高的) sounds, while other cells lit up for low-pitched sounds. This simple system allows parakeets to combine different sounds to make complex calls. “What the parrot has presented is this beautiful, elegant solution for making vocal sounds,” Long told New Scientist.
In human brains, specific brain cell activity is associated with certain movements of the lips or tongue. This is the first time scientists have identified a similar language “map” in the brain of a non-human animal.
Long’s team also studied zebra finches. In contrast to parakeets, the finches’ brains have complicated systems. But these can only allow them to make simple songs but not to mimic human speech.
Researching how language works in birds’ brains could help scientists better understand how it works in the human brain. This could lead to solutions for speech disability in humans.
4. How did the scientists study the parakeets’ brains?
A. By comparing them with humans’.
B. By teaching parakeets new sounds.
C. By recording parakeets’ brain activity.
D. By observing parakeets’ behaviors.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The procedure of the research.
B. The use of sound in human speech.
C. Differences between parakeets and humans.
D. Parakeets’ brain system for sound production.
6. What does the word “these” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Parakeets. B. Zebra finches.
C. Parakeets’ brain systems. D. Zebra finches’ brain systems.
7. What is the significance of the study by Long’s team?
A. It contributes to better protection of animals.
B. It may help us solve human speech problems.
C. It enables us to understand the natural world deeper.
D. It enriches our knowledge about languages in the world.

A French sinologist (汉学家), wearing a customized tie with Chinese characters, gave a speech about a course on the Dongba script (文字) in the form of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
The Dongba script, a pictographic (象形的) writing system of the Naxi ethnic minority group in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, is the world’s only pictographic script system still in use today. There are about 1,400 characters in total.
In 2003, the Dongba script was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. With a population of about 300,000 people, only over 400 individuals among the Naxi ethnic group are still able to recognize and use the Dongba script.
China has made significant efforts to preserve the Dongba script. Launched in 2023, the course aims to guide learners to understand the Dongba script and contributes to its protection. It has attracted more than 2,000 students from 80 countries and regions in the first-round enrollment.
More efforts have been made to change the situation. In 2024, an intelligent translation system for the Dongba script was jointly developed and launched by a group of universities and the local research institution. The system can help to recognize and translate the Dongba manuscripts in a simple way.
A professor at Nanjing Normal University said that the preservation of many ethnic minority languages and cultural heritage wasn’t systematic in the past. However, with the use of digital methods, the new guideline now helps protect the languages and pass them on.
8. Which number best shows the urgent situation of the Dongba script?
A. 80. B. 400.
C. 1,400. D. 300,000.
9. What is the purpose of the course on the Dongba script?
A. To provide insights into the local culture.
B. To support the preservation of the language.
C. To help teachers give lessons on the language.
D. To share the latest findings about the language.
10. What does the professor think of the use of digital methods in language protection?
A. It is only suitable for some languages.
B. It shouldn’t replace the traditional way.
C. It can reduce the cost of language protection.
D. It helps protect languages in a well-organized way.
11. What does this text mainly talk about?
A. The present situation of the Dongba script.
B. An international platform for the Dongba script.
C. The use of technology in studying the Dongba script.
D. Joint efforts made so far to protect the Dongba script.
D
For years, media headlines have described a serious situation regarding bee populations. They frequently warn that a global decline in bee species is just around the corner. But is it as straightforward as it appears? In fact, bee numbers tell a tale of two trends.
In the United States, bee populations have encountered significant obstacles in recent decades. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) , since the 1960s the number of honeybee colonies in the United States has dropped significantly from around 5.5 million to approximately 2.5 million. In contrast to the declines observed in the West, some Asian countries have experienced stable or even growing bee populations. Several factors contribute to this positive trend: diverse natural landscapes, mild climates, and the expansion of commercial beekeeping. For instance, China — the world’s largest honey producer — has significantly expanded its managed honeybee populations to meet growing global demand, which helps make up for declines in wild bee populations.
The idea of a global bee population collapse may not fully reflect the complexity of the situation. While some regions are experiencing alarming losses, others are seeing increases, demonstrating that active and effective measures can lead to positive outcomes. Regions facing declines can stabilize and even restore their bee populations by carrying out stronger conservation policies and sustainable farming practices. Key measures include the use of health-boosting treatments to strengthen bees’ immunity against pests and diseases, and the protection of diverse floral habitats to ensure a continuous and abundant food supply throughout the year. Meanwhile, countries experiencing population growth must remain alert to emerging threats to safeguard their long-term ecological progress and stability.
Bees play a vital role in global food security and biodiversity. Their future depends on our collective ability to adapt, innovate, and protect their habitats. Instead of focusing only on declines, we should also learn from and follow the success stories of growing bee populations around the world.
12. What is the author’s attitude toward media reports on bee population?
A. Fully supportive. B. Cautiously balanced.
C. Highly defensive. D. Openly dismissive.
13. What has led to the growth of bee populations in some Asian countries?
A. The diverse and growing number of wild bee populations.
B. The development of new technology in the beekeeping industry.
C. The favorable environment and the growing beekeeping industry.
D. The rising global demand for wild bee honey and its by-products.
14. What can be inferred about the efforts to address bee population decline?
A. Current measures have limited impact. B. Scientific creativity plays a leading role.
C. Economic growth worsens ecological problems. D. Targeted actions help turn around negative trends.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To give a detailed report on changes in bee populations.
B. To raise a warning about the collapse of bee populations.
C. To clarify trends in bee populations and suggest solutions.
D. To outline the problems in beekeeping and analyze the causes.

Writing flow refers to the smooth and logical progression of ideas within a piece of writing. ____16____ Poor writing flow can confuse readers and make your message unclear. One useful technique to improve your writing flow is maintaining consistency (一致性).
One key element of maintaining consistency is tense consistency. Decide whether you’re writing in the past, present, or future tense. ____17____ Unnecessary changes in tense can make your writing seem unclear. For example, avoid sentences that jump between “He walked to the store” and “He is buying milk”.
____18____ Choose your pronouns carefully. Are you writing in the first person (“I” or “we”), second person (“you”), or third person (“he”, “she”, “it” or “they”)? Once you’ve made your choice, stick with it. Changing pronouns can create confusion. If you are writing about a particular person, make sure to use the same pronouns to refer to them.
Be mindful of perspective (角度) changes, especially in creative writing. If you start a scene from one character’s perspective, avoid suddenly jumping into another character’s thoughts and feelings without a clear transition (过渡). Sudden changes can mislead the reader and weaken the impact of your story. ____19____
In summary, consistency is achieved through careful attention to tense and pronoun usage, and by avoiding sudden and confusing changes in perspective. ____20____ In this way, you can make the reading experience enjoyable and help the audience grasp the intended message more easily.
A. It helps guide the reader effortlessly.
B. Similarly, pay close attention to pronoun consistency.
C. Stick to it unless there’s a reasonable reason to change.
D. Effective writing isn’t just about getting your ideas down.
E. If a change is necessary, use specific techniques to signal the change.
F. Mastering these skills can help ensure your writing is clear and engaging.
G. Improving your writing flow is not a one-time achievement but a journey.

【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“They found that certain brain cells became active when the birds made specific sounds. Some cells seemed to be involved in producing consonants, and others created vowels. Some showed activity when the birds made high-pitched (声调高的) sounds, while other cells lit up for low-pitched sounds. This simple system allows parakeets to combine different sounds to make complex calls.( 他们发现,当鸟类发出特定的声音时,某些脑细胞会变得活跃。一些细胞似乎参与产生辅音,而其他细胞则产生元音。当鸟发出高音调的声音时,一些细胞显示出活动,而其他细胞则发出低音调的声音。这个简单的系统可以让长尾鹦鹉组合不同的声音来发出复杂的叫声。)”可知,主要讲述了长尾鹦鹉产生声音的大脑系统,比如不同脑细胞在产生不同声音(辅音、元音、高低声调声音)时的活动情况。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段“Long’s team also studied zebra finches. In contrast to parakeets, the finches’ brains have complicated systems. But these can only allow them to make simple songs but not to mimic human speech.( Long的团队还研究了斑胸草雀。与长尾小鹦鹉相比,雀类的大脑系统复杂。但这些只能让它们唱简单的歌,而不能模仿人类的语言。)”可知,这里的“these”指代前面提到的“the finches’ brains”,也就是斑马雀的大脑系统。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Researching how language works in birds’ brains could help scientists better understand how it works in the human brain. This could lead to solutions for speech disability in humans.( 研究语言在鸟类大脑中的工作方式可以帮助科学家更好地了解语言在人类大脑中的工作方式。这可能会导致人类语言障碍的解决方案。)”可推知,Long 团队研究的意义在于可能有助于解决人类的语言问题。故选B项。

A French sinologist (汉学家), wearing a customized tie with Chinese characters, gave a speech about a course on the Dongba script (文字) in the form of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
The Dongba script, a pictographic (象形的) writing system of the Naxi ethnic minority group in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, is the world’s only pictographic script system still in use today. There are about 1,400 characters in total.
In 2003, the Dongba script was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. With a population of about 300,000 people, only over 400 individuals among the Naxi ethnic group are still able to recognize and use the Dongba script.
China has made significant efforts to preserve the Dongba script. Launched in 2023, the course aims to guide learners to understand the Dongba script and contributes to its protection. It has attracted more than 2,000 students from 80 countries and regions in the first-round enrollment.
More efforts have been made to change the situation. In 2024, an intelligent translation system for the Dongba script was jointly developed and launched by a group of universities and the local research institution. The system can help to recognize and translate the Dongba manuscripts in a simple way.
A professor at Nanjing Normal University said that the preservation of many ethnic minority languages and cultural heritage wasn’t systematic in the past. However, with the use of digital methods, the new guideline now helps protect the languages and pass them on.
8. Which number best shows the urgent situation of the Dongba script?
A. 80. B. 400.
C. 1,400. D. 300,000.
9. What is the purpose of the course on the Dongba script?
A. To provide insights into the local culture.
B. To support the preservation of the language.
C. To help teachers give lessons on the language.
D. To share the latest findings about the language.
10. What does the professor think of the use of digital methods in language protection?
A. It is only suitable for some languages.
B. It shouldn’t replace the traditional way.
C. It can reduce the cost of language protection.
D. It helps protect languages in a well-organized way.
11. What does this text mainly talk about?
A. The present situation of the Dongba script.
B. An international platform for the Dongba script.
C. The use of technology in studying the Dongba script.
D. Joint efforts made so far to protect the Dongba script.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. D

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Launched in 2023, the course aims to guide learners to understand the Dongba script and contributes to its protection. (该课程于2023年推出,旨在帮助学习者理解东巴文,并为其保护贡献力量。)”可知,东巴文课程的目的是支持对这种语言的保护。故选B项。

(南京师范大学的一位教授表示,过去对许多少数民族语言和文化遗产的保护并不系统。然而,随着数字方法的使用,新指南现在有助于保护这些语言并将它们传播下去。)”可知,这位教授提到过去的方法并不系统,使用数字技术能发挥更好的保护作用。由此推知,他认为将数字技术应用于语言保护有助于以更有序的方式保护语言。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中“China has made significant efforts to preserve the Dongba script. (中国为保护东巴文字做出了巨大的努力。)”和第五段中“More efforts have been made to change the situation. (为了改变这种状况,已经做出了更多的努力。)”可知,文章第一段通过法国汉学家介绍东巴文课程引入话题,第二、三段介绍了东巴文及其面临的严峻局面,第四、五段讲到了中国在保护东巴文方面所做的各种努力,最后一段援引一位教授的话,说明数字方法在保护东巴文等方面的作用。由此可知,本文主要讨论的是迄今为止为保护东巴文所做的多方努力。故选D项。

For years, media headlines have described a serious situation regarding bee populations. They frequently warn that a global decline in bee species is just around the corner. But is it as straightforward as it appears? In fact, bee numbers tell a tale of two trends.
In the United States, bee populations have encountered significant obstacles in recent decades. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) , since the 1960s the number of honeybee colonies in the United States has dropped significantly from around 5.5 million to approximately 2.5 million. In contrast to the declines observed in the West, some Asian countries have experienced stable or even growing bee populations. Several factors contribute to this positive trend: diverse natural landscapes, mild climates, and the expansion of commercial beekeeping. For instance, China — the world’s largest honey producer — has significantly expanded its managed honeybee populations to meet growing global demand, which helps make up for declines in wild bee populations.
The idea of a global bee population collapse may not fully reflect the complexity of the situation. While some regions are experiencing alarming losses, others are seeing increases, demonstrating that active and effective measures can lead to positive outcomes. Regions facing declines can stabilize and even restore their bee populations by carrying out stronger conservation policies and sustainable farming practices. Key measures include the use of health-boosting treatments to strengthen bees’ immunity against pests and diseases, and the protection of diverse floral habitats to ensure a continuous and abundant food supply throughout the year. Meanwhile, countries experiencing population growth must remain alert to emerging threats to safeguard their long-term ecological progress and stability.
Bees play a vital role in global food security and biodiversity. Their future depends on our collective ability to adapt, innovate, and protect their habitats. Instead of focusing only on declines, we should also learn from and follow the success stories of growing bee populations around the world.
12. What is the author’s attitude toward media reports on bee population?
A. Fully supportive. B. Cautiously balanced.
C. Highly defensive. D. Openly dismissive.
13. What has led to the growth of bee populations in some Asian countries?
A. The diverse and growing number of wild bee populations.
B. The development of new technology in the beekeeping industry.
C. The favorable environment and the growing beekeeping industry.
D. The rising global demand for wild bee honey and its by-products.
14. What can be inferred about the efforts to address bee population decline?
A. Current measures have limited impact. B. Scientific creativity plays a leading role.
C. Economic growth worsens ecological problems. D. Targeted actions help turn around negative trends.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To give a detailed report on changes in bee populations.
B. To raise a warning about the collapse of bee populations.
C. To clarify trends in bee populations and suggest solutions.
D. To outline the problems in beekeeping and analyze the causes.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了全球蜜蜂数量呈现不同趋势及应对数量下降的措施并呼吁保护蜜蜂。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For years, media headlines have described a serious situation regarding bee populations. They frequently warn that a global decline in bee species is just around the corner. But is it as straightforward as it appears? In fact, bee numbers tell a tale of two trends. (多年来,媒体头条都在描述蜜蜂数量的严峻形势。他们经常警告说,全球蜜蜂物种的减少即将到来。但真的像看上去那么简单吗?事实上,蜜蜂的数量呈现出两种趋势。)”可知,作者没有完全认同媒体报道,而是客观分析了两种趋势,态度谨慎且平衡。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In contrast to the declines observed in the West, some Asian countries have experienced stable or even growing bee populations. Several factors contribute to this positive trend: diverse natural landscapes, mild climates, and the expansion of commercial beekeeping. (与西方观察到的下降趋势相反,一些亚洲国家的蜜蜂数量保持稳定甚至增长。有几个因素促成了这一积极趋势:多样化的自然景观、温和的气候以及商业养蜂业的扩张。)”可知,有利的环境和不断发展的养蜂业导致了一些亚洲国家蜜蜂数量的增长。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“While some regions are experiencing alarming losses, others are seeing increases, demonstrating that active and effective measures can lead to positive outcomes. Regions facing declines can stabilize and even restore their bee populations by carrying out stronger conservation policies and sustainable farming practices. (虽然一些地区正在经历惊人的损失,但其他地区却在增加,这表明积极有效的措施可以带来积极的结果。面临下降的地区可以通过实施更有力的保护政策和可持续的农业实践来稳定甚至恢复其蜜蜂种群。)”可知,有针对性的行动有助于扭转负面趋势。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容,文章先指出媒体对蜜蜂数量下降的报道,接着说明全球蜜蜂数量呈现不同趋势,然后提出应对蜜蜂数量下降的措施,最后强调蜜蜂的重要性并呼吁保护蜜蜂。所以作者写这篇文章的主要目的是澄清蜜蜂数量的趋势并提出解决方案。故选C项。

Writing flow refers to the smooth and logical progression of ideas within a piece of writing. ____16____ Poor writing flow can confuse readers and make your message unclear. One useful technique to improve your writing flow is maintaining consistency (一致性).
One key element of maintaining consistency is tense consistency. Decide whether you’re writing in the past, present, or future tense. ____17____ Unnecessary changes in tense can make your writing seem unclear. For example, avoid sentences that jump between “He walked to the store” and “He is buying milk”.
____18____ Choose your pronouns carefully. Are you writing in the first person (“I” or “we”), second person (“you”), or third person (“he”, “she”, “it” or “they”)? Once you’ve made your choice, stick with it. Changing pronouns can create confusion. If you are writing about a particular person, make sure to use the same pronouns to refer to them.
Be mindful of perspective (角度) changes, especially in creative writing. If you start a scene from one character’s perspective, avoid suddenly jumping into another character’s thoughts and feelings without a clear transition (过渡). Sudden changes can mislead the reader and weaken the impact of your story. ____19____

考查定语从句。句意:该公园还包括大型喀斯特地貌,例如世界上最深的天坑之一,其深度达335米,对研究具有重要意义。分析句子结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是sinkholes,指物,关系词替代在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:它还保护着许多文化和历史遗迹。文章整体时态为一般现在时,主语It是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填protects。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:例如张飞庙,里面保存着许多汉唐时期的古碑、书法作品和绘画。and连接并列成分,前面的steles和calligraphy works都是名词复数形式,所以此处也应用名词复数,paint的名词形式是painting,复数是paintings。故填 paintings。

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。
Emily stared through the window and watched a white cloud pass over the woods across from the school. A bird floated through the air, wings stretched. It must be wonderful to be a bird, she thought. Total freedom. No math class to sit in. Soon, she would be out of school for the summer and her days would be spent on horseback. She thought of her horse, Star. She’d have to brush him before riding him this afternoon. Somewhere, someone was saying her name, but it seemed so far away.
“Emily. Emily!” Emily jumped. She turned back toward the class to find everyone laughing. “Emily, you’re such a smart girl but you just don’t apply yourself. You’re always daydreaming.” Mrs. Smith turned to others, “Class, now clear your desks. Our guest is here. Welcome Doctor Landon. He is a painter and he came here today as part of our continued Career Explorations program.”
“I love horses,” Doctor Landon said. Horse. Was Doctor Landon talking about horses? She paid attention as he spoke. “School education matters a lot. The knowledge I got from math and science classes enables me to paint horses as they are in their natural setting. I visit different stables (养马场). It’s a lot of work, but I love it.”
When she heard the words, Emily’s mouth fell open. He spent his days with horses. Lots of horses! What a life that must be, she thought.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
At that moment, sitting in math class, Emily could see her future. She realized that if she wanted to be a vet and tend her horses, she needed to focus on her study. Math and science were no longer just boring subjects; they were the keys to her dream job. She sat up straight, her eyes fixed on Doctor Landon, absorbing every word he said. Dr. Landon was saying. “You have to be patient, observe carefully, and even do math — like calculating doses for medicine.” For the first time, she was fully present in class, determined to learn as much as she could.
On arriving home, she changed her plans for the afternoon. Instead of daydreaming in class, she went straight to her room and took out her math and science books. She began to apply herself to study, single-minded about her future career, which surprised everyone around. An ambitious girl was fighting her way to her big dream, who was inspired by the important lesson by Doctor Landon.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了艾米丽在课堂上走神以及她对未来生活的憧憬,当老师叫她时,她才回过神,引来了同学们的笑声,老师介绍了学校职业探索项目的嘉宾兰登医生。兰登医生提到自己热爱马,学校里数学课和科学课的知识让他能在自然环境中画出马的真实模样,他还会去不同的养马场工作。艾米丽听到他能和很多马相伴,十分向往。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在那一刻,坐在数学课上的艾米丽看到了她的未来。”可知,第一段可描写艾米丽意识到成为一名兽医照顾马,需要专注于学习并且非常认真的上了这节课。
②由第二段首句内容“一到家,她就改变了下午的计划。”可知,第二段可描写艾米丽回到家后不是去照顾马,而是努力学习的过程。
2.续写线索:意识到学习的重要——认真听讲——回家学习——让身边人震惊——感悟
