In 2024, he won the Congressional App Challenge in New Jersey’s 3rd District. The competition changed how Krithik sees his work. “I stopped treating my project as a hobby and started treating it as a real product,” he says. “It shifted my mindset from building for myself to building for a community.” He learned to ask who his app was for and why it mattered. That, however, was not the only gain. What he found even more valuable was the community. Connecting with other student developers who used technology to help others gave him a network of like-minded people. Listening to keynote speeches and talking with judges taught him how to tell a powerful story about his work. “That experience has shaped everything I do,” he adds. His winning project was a brain-controlled wheelchair for people with nerve and muscle disorders. The idea came from his grandfather’s stroke (中风). “I wanted to create a low-cost, accessible solution,” Krithik says. His system uses an EEG headset to read simple commands: forward, left, right, and stop. He also added a quick calibration (校准) process, real-time feedback on brain signals, and an emergency stop. Turning a paper draft into a safe, working wheelchair was a huge challenge, but he succeeded. Krithik is most proud of his research in surgical robotics. “Knowing I am part of building a future where operations are safer and easier is a huge source of pride,” he says. He is equally proud of Stembotics, which has already brought low-cost STEM learning to over 1,000 students. “Seeing the impact on those kids is a completely different kind of fulfillment,” he says. “It is deeply rewarding to help the next generation of innovators,” he adds. Looking ahead, Krithik plans to become a doctor and use his engineering skills to improve patient care. He also wants to be a change-maker in STEM, making sure every student has a chance to pursue their dreams. For him, the future of healthcare is not just about new drugs, but about reinventing how care is delivered. 4. What was the biggest change in Krithik after the competition? A. He realized the importance of teamwork. B. He became clear about his research interest. C. He learned to reflect on his work efficiency. D. He started to think about the meaning of his work. 5. Why did Krithik develop the brain-controlled wheelchair? A. To help his grandfather recover from the stroke. B. To test the advanced technology for the disabled. C. To offer an inexpensive and easy device for patients. D. To win a national competition for young inventors. 6. What does Krithik value most about his work? A. The influence his work has on people’s lives. B. The path to becoming a famous STEM professor. C. The chance to combine engineering and medicine. D. The recognition from the Congressional App Challenge. 7. What does Krithik’s experience mainly show? A. Technology cures various illnesses. B. Competitions shape excellent teenagers. C. Family inspiration drives invention. D. A change of mind brings great fulfillment. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述少年研究者Krithik参赛后转变思维，研发脑控轮椅、创办公益机构，兼顾医疗机器人研究与科普事业。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的““I stopped treating my project as a hobby and started treating it as a real product,” he says. “It shifted my mindset from building for myself to building for a community.”(“我不再把我的项目当作爱好，而是开始把它当成真正的产品，”他说。“这让我的心态从为自己打造，转变成为社群打造。”)”可知，竞赛后他开始思考自身工作对群体的价值，明白工作的意义。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The idea came from his grandfather’s stroke (中风). “I wanted to create a low-cost, accessible solution,” Krithik says.(这个想法源自他祖父的中风。克里西克说：“我想要打造一款低成本、易于使用的解决方案。”)”可知，他研发脑控轮椅是为患者提供平价易用的设备。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Krithik is most proud of his research in surgical robotics. “Knowing I am part of building a future where operations are safer and easier is a huge source of pride,” he says. He is equally proud of Stembotics, which has already brought low-cost STEM learning to over 1,000 students. “Seeing the impact on those kids is a completely different kind of fulfillment,” he says. “It is deeply rewarding to help the next generation of innovators,” he adds.”(克里西克最为自豪的是他在手术机器人方面的研究。“知晓我是构建这样一个未来的一份子，在这个未来里手术更安全、更简单，这是强烈的自豪感来源，” 他说。他对 Stembotics 同样感到自豪，该机构已经为超过一千名学生带来低成本 STEM 学习资源。“看到对那些孩子产生的影响，是一种完全不一样的满足感，”他说。“帮助下一代创新者，是极具回报意义的，”他补充道。)”可知，克里西克最看重自己的工作给人们生活带来的实际影响。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“The competition changed how Krithik sees his work. “I stopped treating my project as a hobby and started treating it as a real product,” he says. “It shifted my mindset from building for myself to building for a community.”(这场比赛改变了克里西克看待自己工作的方式。“我不再把我的项目当作爱好，而是开始把它当成真正的产品，”他说。“这让我的心态从为自己打造，转变成为社群打造。”)”可知，文章围绕 Krithik 参赛后心态发生转变，之后在医疗机器人研发和 STEM 公益教育两件事上收获满满的成就感展开，由此能推出心态的改变能够带来极大的自我满足。 C We teach communication skills at Stanford University. We’re also parents, coaches, and advisors. We’ve been worried about teenagers’ weakening writing and speaking skills for years. Communication skills are important for creating healthy relationships and building a successful career. While teenagers today are the most connected generation in history, they are also the least prepared to communicate with depth, confidence, and understanding of others’ feelings. The environments where students develop communication skills are disappearing. Social media squeezes out face-to-face interactions. Memes (表情包) replace conversations. In recent years, U.S. teens spend on average 5 hours per day on social media, nearly half of whom are online all the time. Nearly nine out of 10 students aged 14-22 use AI for schoolwork. Research suggests that using chatbots reduces mental effort and cuts brain engagement. This translates into unoriginal work, reduced self-awareness, and increased dependency on bots. Many students expect immediate resolutions without first-person research or reflection. We worry that teenagers won’t have the enthusiasm to bond with others, and will struggle professionally. The bright side is that simple measures may help stop and turn around the decline. Take pride in your own thoughts: don’t use AI to replace your original ideas; let bots polish your second draft. Join a community: connect with others in screenless activities like debate and clubs. Get a job: manage a coffee shop’s rush, calm down customer conflicts. Customer service jobs enhance understanding and patience. For teachers, instead of limiting AI use, they should focus on the intellectual process. Conduct in-class writing and oral exercises that demand logical and well-organized thinking. “Cold calling” students — picking them at random to answer without raising hands — motivates them to form cogent opinions. Parents should model ‌“intentional presence”: silence phones during meals and express in words their thoughts. Without communication, we risk raising a generation unequipped for working together and critical thinking. 8. What is a major cause of teenagers’ weakening communication skills? A. Too much dependence on social media. B. Little guide from well-educated parents. C. Fewer chances to practise the skills online. D. The lack of a friendly environment at school. 9. What can students do to improve communication skills? A. Take a course on customer service. B. Join a school club to work in groups. C. Connect with others through chatbots. D. Use AI to replace first-person research. 10. Why does the author recommend cold calling over hand-raising? A. It saves valuable class time for teachers. B. It promotes students’ reasoning ability. C. It helps students feel less nervous in class. D. It enables teachers to manage the class better. 11. What is the purpose of writing the text? A. To explain effective communication skills. B. To call for the ban of teenagers’ using AI. C. To challenge an existing belief in AI tools. D. To advise people on proper use of social media. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了青少年沟通能力下降的原因，并提出了改善沟通能力的建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The environments where students develop communication skills are disappearing. Social media squeezes out face-to-face interactions. (学生发展沟通技能的环境正在消失。社交媒体排挤了面对面的互动)”以及“U.S. teens spend on average 5 hours per day on social media, nearly half of whom are online all the time. (美国青少年平均每天花5小时在社交媒体上，近一半人一直在线)”可推知，青少年沟通能力下降的一个主要原因是过度依赖社交媒体。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The bright side is that simple measures may help stop and turn around the decline. Take pride in your own thoughts: don’t use AI to replace your original ideas; let bots polish your second draft. Join a community: connect with others in screenless activities like debate and clubs. Get a job: manage a coffee shop’s rush, calm down customer conflicts. Customer service jobs enhance understanding and patience.(积极的一面是，简单的措施可能有助于阻止并扭转这种下滑趋势。以自己的思想为傲：不要用人工智能替代你的原创想法，让机器人为你的第二稿润色即可。加入一个社群：在辩论和俱乐部等无屏幕活动中与他人交流。找份工作：应对咖啡店的忙碌高峰，平息客户冲突。客服工作能增进理解和耐心)”可知，加入学校俱乐部、参与团队活动来提高沟通能力是学生提高沟通技巧的方法。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““Cold calling” students — picking them at random to answer without raising hands — motivates them to form cogent opinions. (“冷点名”学生——随机点名回答，不需要举手——激励他们形成有说服力的观点)”可知，作者推荐冷点名而非举手是因为它能激励学生形成有说服力的观点，促进他们的推理能力。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“We’ve been worried about teenagers’ weakening writing and speaking skills for years. Communication skills are important for creating healthy relationships and building a successful career. (多年来，我们一直担心青少年写作和口语能力的下降。沟通技巧对于建立健康的人际关系和成功的职业生涯很重要)”、第四段“The bright side is that simple measures may help stop and turn around the decline. (好的一面是，简单的措施可能有助于阻止和扭转这种下降趋势)”和最后一段“Parents should model “intentional presence”: silence phones during meals and express in words their thoughts. (父母应该以身作则，树立“有意陪伴”的榜样：吃饭时将手机调至静音，用语言表达他们的想法)”可知，文章分析了青少年沟通能力下降的原因，并提出了具体的改善建议，旨在建议人们正确使用社交媒体。 D It’s hard enough to study the minds of humans. Who can actually tell you what they’re thinking? So how does one look into a bee’s brain? Clint Perry, a scientist at Queen Mary University of London, has spent a lot of time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “A major difficulty is designing an experiment that will actually test what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But bees don’t know that we want to know what they are thinking. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.” This fact can be very helpful when designing experiments to study bees. In one experiment, Perry gave bees a choice between landing on a spot above a black bar or a spot below it. If they landed above the bar, they would find a delicious sugary drink. If they chose the spot below the black bar, they found a bitter liquid. They also had the option of avoiding the task if they weren’t sure they would succeed. Perry found that bees avoided the test when it was difficult and gave it a try when it was easy. “With their behavior,” says Perry, “the bees were telling us if they ‘did know’ or if they ‘didn’t know’.” Perry’s research suggests that bees have something called “metacognition” — in other words, knowing what you know and what you don’t know. Only a few other animals, including humans, dolphins, rats, and some monkeys, are thought to have at least some level of metacognition. Scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. It could be that skills such as simple math take far less actual brainpower than we previously thought. Learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains process information. We may also have to rethink how we view the rest of the insect world. Who knows what those tiny minds might be capable of? 12. What is the major challenge in studying bees’ brains? A. Bees are too small to be observed. B. What bees do is hard to be explained. C. Bees can’t tell what they think directly. D. Scientists lack advanced tools to test bees. 13. What does the third paragraph mainly focus on? A. Research process. B. Research findings. C. Research question. D. Research significance. 14. What does the underlined word “metacognition” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The sense of finding sugary food. B. The skill of doing the bee dance. C. The ability to answer questions. D. The awareness of making choices. 15. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Bees are far more intelligent than most animals. B. Studying bee brains benefits human brain research. C. People are more curious about minds of other insects. D. Bees process information in the same way as humans. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍科学家研究蜜蜂思维的实验，证明蜜蜂拥有元认知能力，并说明该研究对人脑研究的价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A major difficulty is designing an experiment that will actually test what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But bees don’t know that we want to know what they are thinking.(“一个主要的难题是设计一项实验，这项实验能够真正检验我们想要探明的事物，”他说道。“对于人类，我们可以向他们提问，然后得到答案。但是蜜蜂并不清楚，我们想要知晓它们正在思考什么。”)”可知，研究蜜蜂大脑的主要难点是蜜蜂无法直接说出自身想法。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“In one experiment, Perry gave bees a choice between landing on a spot above a black bar or a spot below it. If they landed above the bar, they would find a delicious sugary drink. If they chose the spot below the black bar, they found a bitter liquid.(在一次实验里，佩里给蜜蜂一个选择，选择落在黑色横条上方的一处位置，或是它下方的一处位置。如果它们落在横条上方，它们会找到美味的含糖饮品。如果它们选了黑色横条下方的点位，它们会发现一种苦涩液体。)”可知，本段完整介绍实验操作流程，核心围绕研究过程展开。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Perry’s research suggests that bees have something called “metacognition” — in other words, knowing what you know and what you don’t know.(佩里的研究表明蜜蜂拥有一种名为metacognition的能力——换句话说，清楚自己知道什么、不知道什么。)”可知，实验里蜜蜂会主动避开难题、尝试简单任务，能判断自身能否完成任务，具备对选择的自我认知，因此metacognition指“做出选择的自我意识”。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains process information.(更多了解蜜蜂大脑的运作方式，可以帮助我们更多了解人类大脑处理信息的方式。)”可知，研究蜜蜂大脑能够为人类大脑相关研究带来益处。 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。 Nature Improves Your Health You may have felt calmer after a walk in the park. ____16____ Being outdoors can bring positive changes in your body. When you see green trees, smell the pine and hear gentle rustling leaves or the sound of birdsong, your nervous system responds instantly. ____17____ It is a sign of physical calming. A UK study found that those who spent at least a total of 120 minutes every week in greenery were significantly more likely to report good health and higher psychological well-being. Your body’s hormonal (激素的) system also joins in the relaxation act. Spending time outdoors lowers your stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. A three-day holiday in nature has a huge impact on your virus fighting system. ____18____Smelling nature is just as powerful as seeing it. The scent of trees and soil is full of organic compounds released by plants. When you breathe them in, some natural chemicals pass into the bloodstream to make you calm. ____19____ The smell of a pine forest can produce a relaxing effect within just 90 seconds and that effect lasts for about 10 minutes. Of course, not everyone can head into the woods at any time. But the good news is, you don’t have to. ____20____ White or yellow roses create the greatest calming effect on brain activity. For smell, use pine essential oil to help you feel calm. And if all else fails, even a photo of a forest can help. A. Pine is a good example of this. B. It’s not your imagination — it’s biology. C. It is beneficial to child’s mental growth. D. Outdoor activities help keeping you smarter. E. Your heart rate slows, and blood pressure drops. F. Even a month later it can be 24% above normal level. G. Small touches of nature at home can make a difference. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. F 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】阐述亲近自然对身心健康的多重益处，从神经系统、激素、嗅觉等角度说明原理，并介绍居家简易替代方案。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“You may have felt calmer after a walk in the park.(在公园散步后，你或许会感到内心更加平静。)”以及空后的“Being outdoors can bring positive changes in your body.(身处户外会给你的身体带来积极改变。)”可知，前文提出人们身处自然会平静的直观感受，后文从生理层面给出科学解释，空格衔接说明这种感受并非错觉，而是生理机制作用。B选项“It’s not your imagination — it’s biology (这并非你的主观想象，而是生理机制在起作用)”中It指代前文散步后内心平静的体验，承接个人感受，引出下文身体发生的各类生理变化，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“When you see green trees, smell the pine and hear gentle rustling leaves or the sound of birdsong, your nervous system responds instantly.(当你看见绿树、闻到松木香、听见树叶轻响或鸟鸣，你的神经系统会立刻做出反应。)”以及空后的“It is a sign of physical calming.(这是身体趋于平静的信号。)”可知，空格需要填写神经系统放松带来的具体生理表现。E选项“Your heart rate slows, and blood pressure drops (你的心率放缓，血压下降)”列举身体放松的直观生理变化，后文It就指代心率、血压的变化，前后逻辑紧密，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“A three-day holiday in nature has a huge impact on your virus fighting system.(在自然中度过三天假期，会对你的抗病毒免疫系统产生巨大积极影响。)”可知，前文说明短期自然环境对免疫的作用，空格补充该效果的持续时长。F选项“Even a month later it can be 24% above normal level (即便一个月之后，你的免疫水平仍能比正常值高出24%)”句中it指代人体抗病毒免疫系统，延续本段激素与免疫相关话题，衔接上文，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“When you breathe them in, some natural chemicals pass into the bloodstream to make you calm.(当你吸入这些物质，部分天然化学物质会进入血液，使人平静。)”以及空后的“The smell of a pine forest can produce a relaxing effect within just 90 seconds and that effect lasts for about 10 minutes.(松林的气味仅需90秒就能产生放松效果，且该效果可持续约十分钟。)”可知，后文以松树气味作为实例论证天然气味的舒缓作用，空格需要引出松树这一例证。A选项“Pine is a good example of this (松树就是很好的例证)”中this指代前文植物释放的有机化合物能使人平静这一规律，自然引出后文松林气味的实验效果，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“Of course, not everyone can head into the woods at any time. But the good news is, you don’t have to.(当然，不是所有人随时都能走进树林，但好消息是你不必非要去户外。)”以及空后介绍室内摆放鲜花、使用松精油、森林图片等居家替代方法可知，空格总起本段，说明居家少量自然元素也能起到舒缓作用。G选项“Small touches of nature at home can make a difference (在家中添置少许自然元素就能起到效果)”承接前文无法随时外出的限制，引出后文各类居家简易自然方案，符合语境。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Lu Shengmei, 80, recently received the national honorary title of People’s Health Worker for her lifelong service in less-developed regions.

B Krithik, 17, is a researcher in surgical robotics and the founder of Stembotics, a nonprofit that brings low-cost STEM education to students. In 2024, he won the Congressional App Challenge in New Jersey’s 3rd District. The competition changed how Krithik sees his work. “I stopped treating my project as a hobby and started treating it as a real product,” he says. “It shifted my mindset from building for myself to building for a community.” He learned to ask who his app was for and why it mattered. That, however, was not the only gain. What he found even more valuable was the community. Connecting with other student developers who used technology to help others gave him a network of like-minded people. Listening to keynote speeches and talking with judges taught him how to tell a powerful story about his work. “That experience has shaped everything I do,” he adds. His winning project was a brain-controlled wheelchair for people with nerve and muscle disorders. The idea came from his grandfather’s stroke (中风). “I wanted to create a low-cost, accessible solution,” Krithik says. His system uses an EEG headset to read simple commands: forward, left, right, and stop. He also added a quick calibration (校准) process, real-time feedback on brain signals, and an emergency stop. Turning a paper draft into a safe, working wheelchair was a huge challenge, but he succeeded. Krithik is most proud of his research in surgical robotics. “Knowing I am part of building a future where operations are safer and easier is a huge source of pride,” he says. He is equally proud of Stembotics, which has already brought low-cost STEM learning to over 1,000 students. “Seeing the impact on those kids is a completely different kind of fulfillment,” he says. “It is deeply rewarding to help the next generation of innovators,” he adds. Looking ahead, Krithik plans to become a doctor and use his engineering skills to improve patient care. He also wants to be a change-maker in STEM, making sure every student has a chance to pursue their dreams. For him, the future of healthcare is not just about new drugs, but about reinventing how care is delivered. 4. What was the biggest change in Krithik after the competition? A. He realized the importance of teamwork. B. He became clear about his research interest. C. He learned to reflect on his work efficiency. D. He started to think about the meaning of his work. 5. Why did Krithik develop the brain-controlled wheelchair? A. To help his grandfather recover from the stroke. B. To test the advanced technology for the disabled. C. To offer an inexpensive and easy device for patients. D. To win a national competition for young inventors. 6. What does Krithik value most about his work? A. The influence his work has on people’s lives. B. The path to becoming a famous STEM professor. C. The chance to combine engineering and medicine. D. The recognition from the Congressional App Challenge. 7. What does Krithik’s experience mainly show? A. Technology cures various illnesses. B. Competitions shape excellent teenagers. C. Family inspiration drives invention. D. A change of mind brings great fulfillment. C We teach communication skills at Stanford University. We’re also parents, coaches, and advisors. We’ve been worried about teenagers’ weakening writing and speaking skills for years. Communication skills are important for creating healthy relationships and building a successful career. While teenagers today are the most connected generation in history, they are also the least prepared to communicate with depth, confidence, and understanding of others’ feelings. The environments where students develop communication skills are disappearing. Social media squeezes out face-to-face interactions. Memes (表情包) replace conversations. In recent years, U.S. teens spend on average 5 hours per day on social media, nearly half of whom are online all the time. Nearly nine out of 10 students aged 14-22 use AI for schoolwork. Research suggests that using chatbots reduces mental effort and cuts brain engagement. This translates into unoriginal work, reduced self-awareness, and increased dependency on bots. Many students expect immediate resolutions without first-person research or reflection. We worry that teenagers won’t have the enthusiasm to bond with others, and will struggle professionally. The bright side is that simple measures may help stop and turn around the decline. Take pride in your own thoughts: don’t use AI to replace your original ideas; let bots polish your second draft. Join a community: connect with others in screenless activities like debate and clubs. Get a job: manage a coffee shop’s rush, calm down customer conflicts. Customer service jobs enhance understanding and patience. For teachers, instead of limiting AI use, they should focus on the intellectual process. Conduct in-class writing and oral exercises that demand logical and well-organized thinking. “Cold calling” students — picking them at random to answer without raising hands — motivates them to form cogent opinions. Parents should model ‌“intentional presence”: silence phones during meals and express in words their thoughts. Without communication, we risk raising a generation unequipped for working together and critical thinking. 8. What is a major cause of teenagers’ weakening communication skills? A. Too much dependence on social media. B. Little guide from well-educated parents. C. Fewer chances to practise the skills online. D. The lack of a friendly environment at school. 9. What can students do to improve communication skills? A. Take a course on customer service. B. Join a school club to work in groups. C. Connect with others through chatbots. D. Use AI to replace first-person research. 10. Why does the author recommend cold calling over hand-raising? A. It saves valuable class time for teachers. B. It promotes students’ reasoning ability. C. It helps students feel less nervous in class. D. It enables teachers to manage the class better. 11. What is the purpose of writing the text? A. To explain effective communication skills. B. To call for the ban of teenagers’ using AI. C. To challenge an existing belief in AI tools. D. To advise people on proper use of social media. D It’s hard enough to study the minds of humans. Who can actually tell you what they’re thinking? So how does one look into a bee’s brain? Clint Perry, a scientist at Queen Mary University of London, has spent a lot of time studying how bees think. He says studying bees is not very different from studying other animals. “A major difficulty is designing an experiment that will actually test what we want,” he says. “With humans, we can ask them a question and get an answer. But bees don’t know that we want to know what they are thinking. They are just trying to get sugar. Bees like sugar.” This fact can be very helpful when designing experiments to study bees. In one experiment, Perry gave bees a choice between landing on a spot above a black bar or a spot below it. If they landed above the bar, they would find a delicious sugary drink. If they chose the spot below the black bar, they found a bitter liquid. They also had the option of avoiding the task if they weren’t sure they would succeed. Perry found that bees avoided the test when it was difficult and gave it a try when it was easy. “With their behavior,” says Perry, “the bees were telling us if they ‘did know’ or if they ‘didn’t know’.” Perry’s research suggests that bees have something called “metacognition” — in other words, knowing what you know and what you don’t know. Only a few other animals, including humans, dolphins, rats, and some monkeys, are thought to have at least some level of metacognition. Scientists still do not know how bees manage to do so much with their tiny brains. It could be that skills such as simple math take far less actual brainpower than we previously thought. Learning more about how bees’ brains work could help us learn more about how our own brains process information. We may also have to rethink how we view the rest of the insect world. Who knows what those tiny minds might be capable of? 12. What is the major challenge in studying bees’ brains? A. Bees are too small to be observed. B. What bees do is hard to be explained. C. Bees can’t tell what they think directly. D. Scientists lack advanced tools to test bees. 13. What does the third paragraph mainly focus on? A. Research process. B. Research findings. C. Research question. D. Research significance. 14. What does the underlined word “metacognition” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The sense of finding sugary food. B. The skill of doing the bee dance. C. The ability to answer questions. D. The awareness of making choices. 15. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Bees are far more intelligent than most animals. B. Studying bee brains benefits human brain research. C. People are more curious about minds of other insects. D. Bees process information in the same way as humans. 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。 Nature Improves Your Health You may have felt calmer after a walk in the park. ____16____ Being outdoors can bring positive changes in your body.
