I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. Want to invite you to join my next challenge group.” Similar invitations kept popping up nearly every single day, filling my notification box nonstop.
It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
Before Facebook, I spent more time reading. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I closed my Facebook account.
I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. At first, I often reached for my phone out of old habit, only to remind myself I’d deactivated (停用) the account. I carried a novel around with me. I rediscovered the pleasure of reading. I started taking yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. I have close friends. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are lucky to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt attentive. I paid full attention to people and things right around me. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family and my current life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates.
4. Why did the author decide to close her Facebook account?
A. To escape stress brought by comments from her friends.
B. To spend more time on her family and everyday work.
C. To get rid of annoying messages filling her message box.
D. To live a simpler life and set a good example for her son.
5. What did the author do to change her life?
A. She developed some healthy habits.
B. She spent more time on her work.
C. She traveled around a lot for a year.
D. She ended all her online connections.
6. What does the underlined word “attentive” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Focused. B. Ordinary. C. Passive. D. Disappointed.
7. What can be known about the author now?
A. She hardly shares posts on her Facebook.
B. She seldom notices updates from her friends.
C. She uses Facebook in a reasonable way.
D. She still feels troubled by online messages.
C
Where is the best place to build a data centre? Not on Earth at all, but in orbit, claims Philip Johnston, chief executive of Starcloud. The cost of launching things into space is falling fast, and once it has fallen far enough. “It’s completely certain that all data centres will go into space,” he says.
An orbiting data centre, in a dawn-dusk sun-synchronous polar orbit that keeps it in continuous sunlight, could use plenty of solar energy. The freezing vacuum (真空) of space should make cooling easier, too, because cooling systems are more efficient when the surrounding temperature is lower. Satellite-internet constellations (星群) can provide fast connectivity with the ground. Computing units could be arranged in 3D rather than 2D as on Earth, to speed up data sending.
Starcloud successfully launched Starcloud 1, a test satellite equipped with AI chips manufactured by Nvidia, on November 2, 2025. These chips deliver 100 times greater processing power than any computing hardware previously sent into space. A second satellite, Starcloud 2, is planned for the end of 2026, with 100 times more solar capacity and 100 times the computing power. The first commercial Starcloud satellite would follow by the early 2030s. Several of these could then be connected and powered by a huge solar set.
There is no doubting Starcloud’s big schedule. But critics (批评者) say its numbers do not add up. One analysis argues that Starcloud has ignored the protection solar panels need in orbit, guessed too high about solar power output and ignored the problem of collision (撞击) avoidance.
Everything depends on launch costs. If they fall far enough, the cost of sending a data centre into space could be more than canceled out by enough accessible cheap solar energy. Starcloud expects reusable, heavy-lift rockets to cut launch costs by more than 99% within a few years.
8. Why is the environment of space suitable for data centres according to the passage?
A. 3D data sending is faster and more efficient.
B. Solar energy is rich and cooling is easier.
C. It offers quick connectivity with the ground.
D. It reduces the risk of equipment damage.
9. What can be concluded about Starcloud 1?
A. It is Starcloud’s first commercial satellite.
B. It includes AI chips made by Nvidia.
C. It works mainly for ground weather surveys.
D. It is set to launch at the end of 2026.
10. How do the critics like Starcloud’s plan?
A. They think the plan is technically impossible.
B. They find its figures are totally wrong.
C. They say it ignores many practical difficulties.
D. They support it but doubt its schedule.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. History of Space Data Centres
B. Earth Data Centres: Benefits or Problems?
C. Ways to Cut Space Launch Costs
D. Space Data Centres: A Dream or Reality?
D
For centuries, thinkers like Darwin have been puzzled by music’s strong effect on us. Why do we enjoy music so much? Why do certain sounds bring us such pleasure? Is our ability to appreciate it rooted in our biology? A recent genetic (基因的) twin study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that music enjoyment is partly heritable (可遗传的).
To study whether genetic factors contribute to “music reward sensitivity” — the ability to feel pleasure from music — the team used a twin study design. The team compared identical twins, who share nearly all their genes, with fraternal twins (异卵双胞胎), who share about half. If identical twins show more similar music enjoyment, it suggests a genetic link. Over 9,000 participants completed detailed questionnaires, where they rated their emotional responses to various melodies, reported general experiences of reward, as well as described their ability to hear musical elements like pitch and rhythm. The researchers then applied statistical models to analyze the data, ensuring that environmental factors like family upbringing were accounted for. This careful process allowed the team to focus on the specific influence of genetics on musical pleasure.
The findings confirmed that the ability to experience pleasure from music is partly heritable. Specifically, the researchers thought that 54% of the differences in music enjoyment among individuals were linked to DNA variations (变异). Importantly, they found that the genetic factors influencing music enjoyment were partly distinct from those influencing general pleasure from rewarding experiences or even basic musical abilities. Different genetic pathways were also found to affect various aspects of music enjoyment, such as using music for emotional control, dancing to a beat, or playing music with others.
“These findings paint a complex picture where different DNA variations contribute to various elements of music enjoyment,” concluded Giacomo Bignardi, the lead author. This research opens up new possibilities for understanding how our genes shape our musical experiences. Future studies exploring specific parts of the human genes could help unlock the mystery of music.
12. Why does the author mention Darwin in paragraph 1?
A. To stress the lasting mystery of music.
B. To prove singing is a biological ability.
C. To introduce Nature Communications.
D. To explain the change of musicality.
13. What can we infer about the twin study?
A. It totally ignored participants’ basic musical abilities.
B. It has truly solved the long-standing mystery of music.
C. It focused on fraternal twins instead of identical ones.
D. It provides convincing evidence for genetic influence.
14. Which best describes the study’s findings on music pleasure?
A. Its genetic system is quite independent.
B. Different genetic pathways work together.
C. Musical skills determine its heritability.
D. Emotional control decides pleasure levels.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the research findings?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.

1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In an old town, Grandpa Chen was the last master of shadow puppetry (皮影戏). His signature cry, “Behold, the golden light!” followed by a three-tap strike on the wooden stage, was the signal for heroes to arrive. The New Year’s Eve show was a promise he had never broken until now.
Li Ming, a high school student who’s good with technology, deeply respected the craft. He often watched Grandpa Chen repairing the puppets’ silver-jointed arms and legs. The most important part was the Monkey King’s main joint — a detailed piece that balanced the magic stick. “Technology is cold,” Grandpa Chen often said. “It cannot feel the heartbeat of the art.”
Disaster struck the night before the festival. A fierce wind shut the window, knocking the Monkey King to the floor. The key joint broke. Once broken, the delicate joint couldn’t be repaired. Carving a new one by hand would take days — far too late for the next day’s show. Grandpa Chen’s eyes were filled with despair. “Without this joint, the hero can’t move,” he whispered. “The stage must stay dark.” He went back into his room, leaving the pieces behind, as if it was meant to happen.
Li Ming couldn’t let the tradition disappear. He carefully gathered the pieces, determined to prove that technology could serve the heart rather than replace it. Using his 3D printer and a tough 3D-printing material, he spent the night making a replacement. It wasn’t a perfect copy, but he hoped it was flexible enough to keep the puppet moving naturally. However, as he looked at the slightly see-through joint, he wondered if the old master would ever let a lifeless plastic piece touch his beloved hero.
Paragraph 1: With the newly printed resin (合成树脂) joint in hand, Li Ming knocked on Grandpa Chen’s door hours before the performance.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The festival crowd gathered in silence, staring at the dark stage, until the familiar warm glow of the oil lamp shone.

I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: “Hey, girl. Want to invite you to join my next challenge group.” Similar invitations kept popping up nearly every single day, filling my notification box nonstop.
It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me. But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it had got. His question was a wake-up call. “Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
Before Facebook, I spent more time reading. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls. To recreate the simplicity of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I closed my Facebook account.
I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. At first, I often reached for my phone out of old habit, only to remind myself I’d deactivated (停用) the account. I carried a novel around with me. I rediscovered the pleasure of reading. I started taking yoga classes.
I started to remember a few things. I have close friends. I do my best to be a good mother, and our son is happy and healthy. We are lucky to afford two vacations a year. I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt attentive. I paid full attention to people and things right around me. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family and my current life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends and treasure how social media allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I look in on a daily basis, but no longer with the desire constantly to post updates.
4. Why did the author decide to close her Facebook account?
A. To escape stress brought by comments from her friends.
B. To spend more time on her family and everyday work.
C. To get rid of annoying messages filling her message box.
D. To live a simpler life and set a good example for her son.
5. What did the author do to change her life?

C. She traveled around a lot for a year.
D. She ended all her online connections.
6. What does the underlined word “attentive” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Focused. B. Ordinary. C. Passive. D. Disappointed.
7. What can be known about the author now?
A. She hardly shares posts on her Facebook.
B. She seldom notices updates from her friends.
C. She uses Facebook in a reasonable way.
D. She still feels troubled by online messages.

Where is the best place to build a data centre? Not on Earth at all, but in orbit, claims Philip Johnston, chief executive of Starcloud. The cost of launching things into space is falling fast, and once it has fallen far enough. “It’s completely certain that all data centres will go into space,” he says.
An orbiting data centre, in a dawn-dusk sun-synchronous polar orbit that keeps it in continuous sunlight, could use plenty of solar energy. The freezing vacuum (真空) of space should make cooling easier, too, because cooling systems are more efficient when the surrounding temperature is lower. Satellite-internet constellations (星群) can provide fast connectivity with the ground. Computing units could be arranged in 3D rather than 2D as on Earth, to speed up data sending.
Starcloud successfully launched Starcloud 1, a test satellite equipped with AI chips manufactured by Nvidia, on November 2, 2025. These chips deliver 100 times greater processing power than any computing hardware previously sent into space. A second satellite, Starcloud 2, is planned for the end of 2026, with 100 times more solar capacity and 100 times the computing power. The first commercial Starcloud satellite would follow by the early 2030s. Several of these could then be connected and powered by a huge solar set.
There is no doubting Starcloud’s big schedule. But critics (批评者) say its numbers do not add up. One analysis argues that Starcloud has ignored the protection solar panels need in orbit, guessed too high about solar power output and ignored the problem of collision (撞击) avoidance.
Everything depends on launch costs. If they fall far enough, the cost of sending a data centre into space could be more than canceled out by enough accessible cheap solar energy. Starcloud expects reusable, heavy-lift rockets to cut launch costs by more than 99% within a few years.
8. Why is the environment of space suitable for data centres according to the passage?
A. 3D data sending is faster and more efficient.
B. Solar energy is rich and cooling is easier.
C. It offers quick connectivity with the ground.
D. It reduces the risk of equipment damage.
9. What can be concluded about Starcloud 1?
A. It is Starcloud’s first commercial satellite.
B. It includes AI chips made by Nvidia.
C. It works mainly for ground weather surveys.
D. It is set to launch at the end of 2026.
10. How do the critics like Starcloud’s plan?
A. They think the plan is technically impossible.
B. They find its figures are totally wrong.
C. They say it ignores many practical difficulties.
D. They support it but doubt its schedule.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. History of Space Data Centres
B. Earth Data Centres: Benefits or Problems?
C. Ways to Cut Space Launch Costs
D. Space Data Centres: A Dream or Reality?
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍Starcloud公司提出在太空轨道建造数据中心的构想,阐述太空环境搭建数据中心的多重优势、该公司卫星发射规划,同时提及批评者对该方案现实问题的质疑,以及发射成本是该计划能否落地的关键。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第二段“An orbiting data centre, in a dawn-dusk sun-synchronous polar orbit that keeps it in continuous sunlight, could use plenty of solar energy. The freezing vacuum of space should make cooling easier, too, because cooling systems are more efficient when the surrounding temperature is lower.(处于晨昏太阳同步极地轨道的轨道数据中心能够持续接收日照,可充分利用太阳能。太空冰冷的真空环境也会让冷却工作变得更加容易,因为环境温度越低,冷却系统的效率越高。)”可知,太空拥有充足太阳能且冷却更简便,适合搭建数据中心。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Starcloud successfully launched Starcloud 1, a test satellite equipped with AI chips manufactured by Nvidia, on November 2, 2025.(Starcloud 公司于2025年11月2日成功发射了一号测试卫星,该卫星搭载了英伟达制造的人工智能芯片。)”可知,Starcloud 1 搭载英伟达生产的人工智能芯片。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“One analysis argues that Starcloud has ignored the protection solar panels need in orbit, guessed too high about solar power output and ignored the problem of collision (撞击) avoidance.(一份分析报告指出,Starcloud忽视了太阳能板在轨道中所需的防护措施、高估太阳能发电量,还忽略了防撞难题。)” 可知,批评者认为该计划忽略诸多现实难题。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“Where is the best place to build a data centre? Not on Earth at all, but in orbit, claims Philip Johnston, chief executive of Starcloud.(星云公司首席执行官菲利普・约翰斯顿称,建造数据中心的最佳地点根本不在地球上,而是在太空轨道上。)”及全文内容可知,全文先介绍太空数据中心的优势与Starcloud的发射计划,再引出外界对该方案的诸多质疑,核心围绕太空数据中心构想能否落地展开讨论,选项D“太空数据中心:梦想还是现实?” 可以完整概括全文内容。
D
For centuries, thinkers like Darwin have been puzzled by music’s strong effect on us. Why do we enjoy music so much? Why do certain sounds bring us such pleasure? Is our ability to appreciate it rooted in our biology? A recent genetic (基因的) twin study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that music enjoyment is partly heritable (可遗传的).
To study whether genetic factors contribute to “music reward sensitivity” — the ability to feel pleasure from music — the team used a twin study design. The team compared identical twins, who share nearly all their genes, with fraternal twins (异卵双胞胎), who share about half. If identical twins show more similar music enjoyment, it suggests a genetic link. Over 9,000 participants completed detailed questionnaires, where they rated their emotional responses to various melodies, reported general experiences of reward, as well as described their ability to hear musical elements like pitch and rhythm. The researchers then applied statistical models to analyze the data, ensuring that environmental factors like family upbringing were accounted for. This careful process allowed the team to focus on the specific influence of genetics on musical pleasure.
The findings confirmed that the ability to experience pleasure from music is partly heritable. Specifically, the researchers thought that 54% of the differences in music enjoyment among individuals were linked to DNA variations (变异). Importantly, they found that the genetic factors influencing music enjoyment were partly distinct from those influencing general pleasure from rewarding experiences or even basic musical abilities. Different genetic pathways were also found to affect various aspects of music enjoyment, such as using music for emotional control, dancing to a beat, or playing music with others.
“These findings paint a complex picture where different DNA variations contribute to various elements of music enjoyment,” concluded Giacomo Bignardi, the lead author. This research opens up new possibilities for understanding how our genes shape our musical experiences. Future studies exploring specific parts of the human genes could help unlock the mystery of music.
12. Why does the author mention Darwin in paragraph 1?
A. To stress the lasting mystery of music.
B. To prove singing is a biological ability.
C. To introduce Nature Communications.
D. To explain the change of musicality.
13. What can we infer about the twin study?
A. It totally ignored participants’ basic musical abilities.
B. It has truly solved the long-standing mystery of music.
C. It focused on fraternal twins instead of identical ones.
D. It provides convincing evidence for genetic influence.
14. Which best describes the study’s findings on music pleasure?
A. Its genetic system is quite independent.
B. Different genetic pathways work together.
C. Musical skills determine its heritability.
D. Emotional control decides pleasure levels.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the research findings?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】

The researchers then applied statistical models to analyze the data, ensuring that environmental factors like family upbringing were accounted for. This careful process allowed the team to focus on the specific influence of genetics on musical pleasure.(他们将基因几乎完全相同的同卵双胞胎与基因约一半相同的异卵双胞胎进行比较。如果同卵双胞胎的音乐喜好更为相似,这表明存在遗传关联。超过9000名参与者完成了详细的问卷调查,其中他们需评估自己对不同旋律的情绪反应、描述整体的奖赏体验,并说明自己对音高和节奏等音乐元素的感知能力。研究人员随后运用统计模型分析数据,确保了家庭环境等外部因素的影响已被充分考虑。这一严谨的研究过程使团队得以聚焦于基因对音乐愉悦感受的具体影响。)”以及第三段中“The findings confirmed that the ability to experience pleasure from music is partly heritable.(研究结果证实,人们从音乐中获得愉悦的能力部分具有遗传性。)”可知,关于双胞胎研究,我们可以推断出它为基因的影响提供了有说服力的证据。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Different genetic pathways were also found to affect various aspects of music enjoyment, such as using music for emotional control, dancing to a beat, or playing music with others.(此外,不同的基因通路还会影响音乐欣赏的各个方面,例如用音乐进行情绪调节、随着节奏跳舞,或与他人一起演奏音乐。)”以及最后一段中““These findings paint a complex picture where different DNA variations contribute to various elements of music enjoyment,” concluded Giacomo Bignardi, the lead author.(“这些发现描绘出一幅复杂的图景:不同的DNA变异共同作用于音乐欣赏的多个方面,”该研究的主要作者贾科莫·比尼亚尔迪总结道。)”可知,不同的基因通路共同发挥作用。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This research opens up new possibilities for understanding how our genes shape our musical experiences. Future studies exploring specific parts of the human genes could help unlock the mystery of music.(这项研究为理解基因如何塑造我们的音乐体验开辟了新可能。未来对人类基因特定部分的研究,或许有助于揭开音乐之谜。)”可知,作者对研究结果持认可、支持的态度。

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。
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In an old town, Grandpa Chen was the last master of shadow puppetry (皮影戏). His signature cry, “Behold, the golden light!” followed by a three-tap strike on the wooden stage, was the signal for heroes to arrive. The New Year’s Eve show was a promise he had never broken until now.
Li Ming, a high school student who’s good with technology, deeply respected the craft. He often watched Grandpa Chen repairing the puppets’ silver-jointed arms and legs. The most important part was the Monkey King’s main joint — a detailed piece that balanced the magic stick. “Technology is cold,” Grandpa Chen often said. “It cannot feel the heartbeat of the art.”
Disaster struck the night before the festival. A fierce wind shut the window, knocking the Monkey King to the floor. The key joint broke. Once broken, the delicate joint couldn’t be repaired. Carving a new one by hand would take days — far too late for the next day’s show. Grandpa Chen’s eyes were filled with despair. “Without this joint, the hero can’t move,” he whispered. “The stage must stay dark.” He went back into his room, leaving the pieces behind, as if it was meant to happen.
Li Ming couldn’t let the tradition disappear. He carefully gathered the pieces, determined to prove that technology could serve the heart rather than replace it. Using his 3D printer and a tough 3D-printing material, he spent the night making a replacement. It wasn’t a perfect copy, but he hoped it was flexible enough to keep the puppet moving naturally. However, as he looked at the slightly see-through joint, he wondered if the old master would ever let a lifeless plastic piece touch his beloved hero.
Paragraph 1: With the newly printed resin (合成树脂) joint in hand, Li Ming knocked on Grandpa Chen’s door hours before the performance.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The festival crowd gathered in silence, staring at the dark stage, until the familiar warm glow of the oil lamp shone.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1: With the newly printed resin joint in hand, Li Ming knocked on Grandpa Chen’s door hours before the performance. He hesitated for a moment, then told Grandpa Chen the whole story nervously and presented the printed joint. Grandpa Chen picked it up carefully and examined it closely, still doubting whether the man-made part could work well. He fitted the joint onto the Monkey King puppet tentatively. To his amazement, the puppet moved flexibly and naturally, with no difference from the original one. He looked at Li Ming with a mixture of surprise and relief.
Paragraph 2: The festival crowd gathered in silence, staring at the dark stage, until the familiar warm glow of the oil lamp shone. Grandpa Chen gave his usual three taps and shouted his signature line. The lively shadow puppetry show began immediately, and the Monkey King performed wonderfully, earning bursts of applause. After the show, Grandpa Chen smiled at Li Ming warmly. He came to understand that technology was not a rival to traditional art, but a powerful way to protect and pass on precious folk culture.
