It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you. A Puzzle The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations: ბრაზილია Brazil პერუ Peru ურუგვაი Uruguay Q: What is the English name of this country “არგენტინა”? The Solution ·The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match. ·The repeated-U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right. ·“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: რ → R, ა → A, გ → G, ე → E. ·With these letters, the pattern არგენტინა can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ _ A,” which is “Argentina”. Contest Rules ·Each individual contestant or team must choose a working language for their problems and solutions, a choice that cannot be changed less than two weeks before the Olympiad begins. ·The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less. ·Unless instructed, giving multiple (多样的) answers will receive zero marks. Besides, a detailed explanation is required for each answer; failure to provide one will result in a lower score. Awards The team contest will award up to one gold, two silver, and three bronze medals. In the individual contest, the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded shall be in the ratio 1:2:3, with the total number of medals being between one quarter and one third of the contestants. Click here to find out other awards. 1. Which is important to solve the sample puzzle? A. Linguistic fluency. B. Reasoning ability. C. Geographic knowledge. D. Mathematical calculation. 2. What is different about the rules for the individual and team contests? A. The length of the competition. B. The deadline for language choice. C. The result of giving multiple answers. D. The requirement for answer explanations. 3. If there are 240 individual contestants, how many medals could be awarded in total? A. 40. B. 54. C. 72. D. 84. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍国际语言学奥林匹克竞赛的参赛要求、样题、比赛规则以及奖项设置等相关基本信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking.(参加国际语言学奥林匹克竞赛，不需要专业知识，只需要基础的语言概念、逻辑、耐心以及创造性思维)”可知，解开该竞赛样题需要逻辑推理能力。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Contest Rules部分中的“The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less.(个人赛需要在六小时内解答五道题目，而团队赛仅有一道题目，时长比个人赛少两小时)”可知，个人赛和团队赛的比赛时长不同。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Awards部分中的“In the individual contest, the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded shall be in the ratio 1:2:3, with the total number of medals being between one quarter and one third of the contestants.(个人赛金、银、铜牌数量比例为1:2:3，奖牌总数为参赛人数的四分之一到三分之一之间)”可知，参赛人数为240人，奖牌总数范围为60至80枚，C选项72枚符合该区间。 B The four familiar words physicians always fear come when the office visit is ending, the doctor’s hand reaching for the door. “Oh, by the way,” the patient says. “Should I be worried about this chest pain I’ve been having?” The doctor has to go back into the room and start over again. Doctors call it “the doorknob phenomenon”. Doctors’ rushed schedules and patients’ natural hesitation to reveal frightening or embarrassing symptoms (症状) make those questions at the doorknob almost unavoidable, but medical schools increasingly are teaching students how to avoid such situations. Dr. Rita Charon at Columbia University’s medical school encourages doctors-in-training to signal some desire to hear about patients and their greatest concerns. She teaches a method she has adopted with her own new patients, whom she tells: “I’m going to be your doctor and I need to know a lot about your health and your body and your life.” Then she stops talking, and doesn’t write anything down or check the computer — she just listens. “When I did this the first time, the patient started crying, saying ‘No one ever let me do this before,’” Charon said. Another patient Nancy Conley says embarrassment led to her own doorknob questions about smelly feet. She sometimes talked herself out of mentioning it at all, trying to downplay it in her mind during the visit. Charon’s advice to doctors for avoiding such resistance is to slow down. A rushed atmosphere can make patients feel uncomfortable about mentioning bothersome issues. Instead, doctors should take a moment to imagine what it’s like to be the patient. “This could help break the ice,” Charon said. Margaret Fitzpatrick, a nurse at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, says patients can help, too, by writing down questions to ask the doctor before each visit. “People need to be better prepared for the experience of going to the doctor,” Fitzpatrick said. “So if they have a strange spot on their neck, they need to take the responsibility of bringing it up rather than hoping that the doctor will see it and bring it up.” 4. What is “the doorknob phenomenon”? A. Doctors ignore patients’ problems. B. Doctors rush to end appointments. C. Patients forget their mild symptoms. D. Patients keep key issues till the last. 5. What is the core of Charon’s method mentioned in paragraph 3? A. Respecting patients’ personal privacy. B. Allowing patients to release emotions. C. Showing professionalism to patients. D. Encouraging patients to open up. 6. How can doctors prevent “the doorknob phenomenon” according to Charon? A. By skipping patients’ bothersome issues. B. By putting themselves in patients’ shoes. C. By advising patients to make frequent visits. D. By telling patients to write down their questions. 7. What does Fitzpatrick expect patients to do? A. Raise their concerns actively. B. Ask few off-topic questions. C. Trust the doctor’s judgment. D. Record the doctor’s evaluation. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍门把手现象的成因，并给出医生与患者双方的解决办法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The four familiar words physicians always fear come when the office visit is ending, the doctor’s hand reaching for the door. “Oh, by the way,” the patient says. “Should I be worried about this chest pain I’ve been having?” The doctor has to go back into the room and start over again. Doctors call it “the doorknob phenomenon”.(医生问诊即将结束、手已经搭上门把手时，总会听到一句熟悉的、让医生十分害怕的话。病人会说：“对了，顺便问一下，我最近一直胸痛，要不要紧？”这时医生只能折回诊室，重新问诊。医学界把这种情况称作“门把手现象”。)”可知，患者到最后一刻才说出关键健康问题，这就是门把手现象。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三中“She teaches a method she has adopted with her own new patients, whom she tells: “I’m going to be your doctor and I need to know a lot about your health and your body and your life.” Then she stops talking, and doesn’t write anything down or check the computer — she just listens.(她传授了一种自己用来接诊初诊病人的方法。她会对病人说：“我将会是你的主治医生，我需要充分了解你的健康状况、身体情况和日常生活。”说完她便不再讲话，不做记录、不查看电脑，只是静静倾听。)”可知，这套方法核心是鼓励患者敞开心扉倾诉。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Charon’s advice to doctors for avoiding such resistance is to slow down. A rushed atmosphere can make patients feel uncomfortable about mentioning bothersome issues. Instead, doctors should take a moment to imagine what it’s like to be the patient. “This could help break the ice,” Charon said.(Charon建议医生想要消除患者这种抗拒，问诊节奏要放缓。仓促紧张的氛围会让患者不好意思说出烦心问题。反之，医生应该花点时间想象一下作为病人的感觉。Charon表示：“这样能有效打破医患之间的隔阂。”)”可知，医生要设身处地为患者着想，预防“门把手现象”。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中“Margaret Fitzpatrick, a nurse at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, says patients can help, too, by writing down questions to ask the doctor before each visit. “People need to be better prepared for the experience of going to the doctor,” Fitzpatrick said. (奥克朗市艾德沃克特基督医疗中心的护士Margaret Fitzpatrick表示，患者也可以提供帮助，每次就诊前把要问医生的问题写下来。Fitzpatrick说：“人们看医生前需要做好更充分的准备。”)”可知，Fitzpatrick希望患者主动说出自身担忧。 C Beneath the shiny surface of coastal waters lies an often-overlooked ecosystem: seagrass meadows (草甸). Moving with the flow of the water, their delicate leaves safeguard shorelines, purify water and support sea life. “Seagrass is often referred to as a Swiss-army knife, as it has so many wonderful services that are so valuable not just to us, but to nature as a whole,” shares Sophie Pipe, seagrass conservationist at Cornwall Wildlife Trust. Sophie explains how globally these meadows are crucial for sea life at all stages. “They’re used as places to lay eggs for fish and sharks, a food source for manatees (海牛) and a training ground for young dolphins.” In the UK, these habitats are important commercially, as they sustain our fisheries. Besides, seagrass covers only 0.1% of the ocean floor, but accounts for 18% of the ocean’s carbon storage. However, seagrasses are threatened. “In the UK, we’ve lost as much as 90% of our seagrass. A major driver is water pollution from agricultural run-off and wastewater overflow, which causes fast algal (海藻的) growth that then blocks sunlight. This prevents light-dependent growth and takes oxygen from seagrass meadows,” Sophie explains. “Seagrass has also been seen to die off rapidly during ocean heat waves, which is a bad sign for our warming ocean. Climate change is also increasing the intensity and frequency of storms, which can disturb and uproot seagrass meadows, ” Sophie explains. Now Sophie is working on a seagrass restoration project in Cornwall. “We only have two remaining seagrass beds in Cornwall. The project aims to see if we can restore these sites in a cost-effective way so that our techniques can be used in other places to replant meadows,” explains Sophie. One and a half years into the pilot study, her team is already seeing results. Seedlings are taking root, starting to grow and even spreading. “You don’t need to live by the coast to care about seagrass,” encourages Sophie. “Ultimately, what we do on land drives what happens in the sea.” 8. Why is seagrass compared to a Swiss-army knife? A. It is a weapon against climate change. B. It has multiple survival skills. C. It offers many benefits. D. It has sharp leaves. 9. What is the main reason for the decline of seagrass? A. Pollution of the ocean. B. Development of fisheries. C. Arrival of competing plants. D. An increase in manatee population. 10. What can be inferred about Sophie’s project? A. It still takes ages to see the results. B. It needs to be more cost-effective. C. It has been expanded greatly. D. It is gaining success. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Saving Seagrass, Restoring the Ocean B. A Seagrass Conservationist’s Journey C. How Climate Change Destroys Seagrass D. Can Seagrass Sow Hope for Carbon Storage? 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍海草草甸多重生态价值，指出水体污染与气候变化致使海草大量消亡，索菲开展修复试点并取得成效，呼吁人们共同保护海草、守护海洋。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Seagrass is often referred to as a Swiss-army knife, as it has so many wonderful services that are so valuable not just to us, but to nature as a whole,(海草常被比作瑞士军刀，因为它能提供诸多益处，无论是对人类还是整个大自然都极具价值，)”可知，把海草比作瑞士军刀是因为它能带来多重好处。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the UK, we’ve lost as much as 90% of our seagrass. A major driver is water pollution from agricultural run-off and wastewater overflow, which causes fast algal (海藻的) growth that then blocks sunlight.(在英国，我们已经失去了多达90%的海草。主要诱因是农业径流和污水溢流造成的水体污染，这类污染会促使海藻疯长，遮蔽阳光。)”可知，海草大面积消亡的主要原因是海洋污染。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“One and a half years into the pilot study, her team is already seeing results. Seedlings are taking root, starting to grow and even spreading.(这项试点研究开展一年半后，她的团队已经初见成效。幼苗扎下了根，开始生长，甚至向外蔓延。)”可推断，索菲的修复项目已经取得成功。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beneath the shiny surface of coastal waters lies an often-overlooked ecosystem: seagrass meadows (草甸). Moving with the flow of the water, their delicate leaves safeguard shorelines, purify water and support sea life.(在波光粼粼的海岸水面之下，藏着一个常被忽视的生态系统：海草草甸。纤细的叶片随水流摆动，守护海岸线、净化水质、供养海洋生物。)”、第四段“In the UK, we’ve lost as much as 90% of our seagrass. A major driver is water pollution from agricultural run-off and wastewater overflow, which causes fast algal (海藻的) growth that then blocks sunlight.(在英国，我们已经失去了多达90%的海草。主要诱因是农业径流和污水溢流造成的水体污染，这类污染会促使海藻疯长，遮蔽阳光。)”以及第六段“One and a half years into the pilot study, her team is already seeing results. Seedlings are taking root, starting to grow and even spreading.(这项试点研究开展一年半后，她的团队已经初见成效。幼苗扎下了根，开始生长，甚至向外蔓延。)”可知，文章先介绍海草的巨大生态价值，再阐述污染与气候问题导致海草大量消亡，接着介绍索菲团队开展海草修复工程并取得进展，全文核心围绕保护、修复海草以拯救海洋生态展开。所以A项“Saving Seagrass, Restoring the Ocean(拯救海草，恢复海洋)”符合文意。 D It is widely acknowledged that crows are highly intelligent with cognitive abilities similar to those of 5-to 7-year-old children. Past research shows that they can count to four and distinguish human voices and faces, and some species can even create tools for future use. Lately, a special study has expanded this list further, revealing that crows can recognize basic geometric features, such as side lengths, parallel lines, and right angles, and tell apart shapes like stars, crescents, squares, and irregular four-sided figures. With the purpose of testing the crows’ geometric skills, scientists showed two crows six shapes on a digital screen and trained them to peck (啄) at the outlier—the shape that looked different from the rest. When the birds chose correctly, they were rewarded with a tasty snack. At first, the researchers made the outlier obvious, such as one flower among five crescents. As the birds got used to the task, the shapes became more similar including squares and irregular four- sided figures. Despite the increasing difficulty, the crows continued to identify the outlier correctly. The shape recognition ability of crows remains a topic of interest for researchers. They suspect this ability may help them with navigation as they fly around. The birds may have also developed this ability to help them search for food or identify other individual crows — including potential mates — based on their facial features. “All these abilities, at the end of the day, from a biological point of view, have evolved because they provide a survival advantage or a reproductive advantage,” says study senior author Andreas Nieder, a neurophysiologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany. In the future, researchers hope to explore which areas of the birds’ brains are responsible for their exceptional ability in geometry. Birds don’t have a cerebral cortex (大脑皮层)—at least, not in the same way that humans do. But for us, that part of the brain is responsible for thinking and other complex functions. Crows still have these abilities, so the researchers assume there must be something else going on inside their heads. “Obviously, evolution found two different ways of giving rise to behaviorally flexible animals,” Nieder says. 12. What does the recent study reveal about crows? A. They can draw simple figures with tools. B. They can distinguish between basic shapes in geometry. C. They can do easy math calculations. D. They can recognize human voices and faces. 13. How did the researchers increase the difficulty of the shape- recognition task? A. By shortening the time for the crows to respond. B. By presenting more familiar shapes on the screen. C. By showing the figures with different colors. D. By enhancing the similarity among the shapes. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The role of crows’ geometric potential in navigation. B. Reasons for crows to evolve shape identification abilities. C. Survival benefits of crows’ cognitive talents. D. The advantages of crows’ food-searching skills over other birds. 15. What is the follow-up step for future study? A. Investigating crows’ brain areas related to geometric skills. B. Comparing the cerebral cortex of humans and crows. C. Exploring other complex functions of crows’ brains. D. Studying the causes of crows’ flexible behaviors. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了乌鸦在几何图形识别方面的天赋并分析乌鸦进化出形状识别能力的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Lately, a special study has expanded this list further, revealing that crows can recognize basic geometric features, such as side lengths, parallel lines, and right angles, and tell apart shapes like stars, crescents, squares, and irregular four-sided figures.(最近，一项特别的研究进一步扩充了这一能力清单，揭示乌鸦能够识别基本的几何特征，比如边长、平行线和直角，还能区分星形、新月形、正方形以及不规则四边形等形状。)”可知，最近的研究揭示了乌鸦能区分几何中的基本形状。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At first, the researchers made the outlier obvious, such as one flower among five crescents. As the birds got used to the task, the shapes became more similar including squares and irregular four- sided figures. Despite the increasing difficulty, the crows continued to identify the outlier correctly.(起初，研究人员让异类形状十分明显，比如五个新月形中混入一个花朵形状。随着鸟儿逐渐适应这项任务，展示的形状变得更为相似，包括正方形和不规则四边形。尽管难度不断增加，乌鸦仍能持续正确地识别出异类。)”可知，研究人员是通过增加图形之间的相似性来提高任务的难度。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The birds may have also developed this ability to help them search for food or identify other individual crows — including potential mates—based on their facial features. “All these abilities, at the end of the day, from a biological point of view, have evolved because they provide a survival advantage or a reproductive advantage,” says study senior author Andreas Nieder, a neurophysiologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany.(鸟类可能也发展出了这种能力，以帮助它们根据面部特征寻找食物或识别其他乌鸦——包括潜在的配偶。该研究的资深作者、德国图宾根大学的神经生理学家安德烈亚斯·尼德说：“从生物学角度来看，所有这些能力最终都进化而来，是因为它们提供了生存优势或繁殖优势。”)”等内容可知，第三段主要分析了乌鸦进化出形状识别能力的原因。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the future, researchers hope to explore which areas of the birds’ brains are responsible for their exceptional ability in geometry.(未来，研究人员希望探究鸟类大脑中哪些区域负责它们卓越的几何能力。)”可知，未来研究的后续步骤是调查与几何技能相关的乌鸦大脑区域。故选A。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Test Anxiety Test anxiety is that nervous feeling you may get when you’re about to take a test. It’s normal to feel some pressure before an exam. ____16____ But for some people, the worries are so strong that they can’t concentrate and don’t do as well as they’d like. What Happens with Test Anxiety? When you’re under stress (like right before a test), your body releases a hormone (激素) called adrenaline, which brings the ‌“fight or flight” response. It can cause physical reactions like sweating, a pounding heart, fast breathing, or even a stomach ache and headache. ____17____ At the same time, if you keep thinking about failing or forgetting what you studied, your anxiety will grow stronger. These negative thoughts make stress worse and can actually hurt your test performance. Who’s Likely to Have Test Anxiety? ____18____ It can be hard for them to accept mistakes or get anything less than a perfect score. Students who aren’t prepared for tests but care about doing well are also likely to have test anxiety. How Can I Overcome Test Anxiety? There are lots of ways to stress less over tests: • Start studying the day the teacher first says there will be an exam. ____19____ • Try breathing exercises to relax. • Remind yourself that you don’t have to get a perfect score on every test. Everyone slips up, so don’t overthink mistakes. ____20____ Test anxiety won’t go away overnight. But dealing with it can help you handle stress better — even when you’re not taking exams. A. Luckily, test anxiety can be lessened. B. A little stress can help you focus and do better. C. Think of them as chances to learn for the next time. D. In more serious cases, you might throw up or pass out. E. That way you won’t be rushing to study at the last minute. F. Students with higher test anxiety tend to perform worse on exams. G. People who are perfectionists are more likely to have test anxiety. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了考试焦虑的定义、生理反应、易感人群以及应对方法。 【16题详解】 上文“It’s normal to feel some pressure before an exam. (考试前感到一些压力是正常的)”指出考前压力现象，B选项“A little stress can help you focus and do better.(一点压力可以帮助你集中注意力，表现得更好)”与上文话题一致，指出适度的压力有积极作用；下文“But for some people, the worries are so strong that they can’t concentrate and don’t do as well as they’d like.(但对于一些人来说，担忧过于强烈，以至于无法集中注意力，表现也不如预期)”与B选项构成转折，从适度的压力转向过度的考试焦虑，引出本文主题，上下文逻辑连贯。 【17题详解】 上文“It can cause physical reactions like sweating, a pounding heart, fast breathing, or even a stomach ache and headache.(它可能引起身体反应，如出汗、心跳加速、呼吸急促，甚至胃痛和头痛)”列举了考试焦虑引起的身体反应，D选项“In more serious cases, you might throw up or pass out.(在更严重的情况下，你可能会呕吐或昏厥)”进一步说明了更严重情况下的身体反应，与上文构成递进关系，照应本段主题句“What Happens with Test Anxiety?(考试焦虑会发生什么？)”。 【18题详解】 下文“It can be hard for them to accept mistakes or get anything less than a perfect score.(他们很难接受错误或得到低于完美分数的成绩)”描述了某类人的心理特点——追求完美、难以接受不完美。G选项“People who are perfectionists are more likely to have test anxiety.(完美主义者更可能患有考试焦虑)”引出下文，点明了这类人是完美主义者，下文具体解释了完美主义者的行为特点，与G选项中的“perfectionists”直接呼应，上下文逻辑连贯。 【19题详解】 上文“Start studying the day the teacher first says there will be an exam.(从老师第一次说将要考试的那天就开始学习)”给出了尽早开始学习的建议，E选项“That way you won’t be rushing to study at the last minute.(那样你就不会在最后一刻匆忙学习了)”承接上文，解释了尽早开始学习的好处——避免临时抱佛脚；本段主题是应对考试焦虑的方法，E选项与上文共同说明了提前准备的重要性，照应主题。 【20题详解】 上文“Everyone slips up, so don’t overthink mistakes.(每个人都会犯错，所以不要过度纠结于错误)”建议不要对错误过度思考，C选项“Think of them as chances to learn for the next time.(把它们看作是下次学习的机会)”承接上文，进一步给出了对待错误的积极态度——将其视为学习机会，上下文逻辑连贯。 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 I remember going to my grandparents’ farm for Thanksgiving every year.

The family took great care at their new location to keep Cocci inside the house, because they were worried she’d get lost in the different surroundings. Cocci held a special place in Lisa’s heart. She had been Lisa’s friend since childhood. Lisa loved brushing Cocci’s soft hair after school, and the cat would often curl up (蜷缩) beside her while she did her homework or read a book. On quiet evenings, Cocci would follow Lisa around the house, sometimes curling up on her lap during family movie nights. Cocci had a calm, affectionate personality and would often react to Lisa’s whisper. Their bond was unmistakable. But Cocci went missing in August. The disappearance left the entire family heartbroken, especially Lisa. For three months, the worried family tried everything they could think of, but Cocci was nowhere to be found. To stop Lisa from worrying, her mother Sue told her that she thought Cocci had probably gone back to their old home — though she did not believe for a second it could be true. Remarkably, in early October, a stranger found a stray (走失的) cat more than 450 kilometers away — just five miles from the family’s former residence — and took it to a local vet (兽医). Around the same time, Lisa saw a post shared on Facebook about a cat found near her previous home. Though the cat looked noticeably different due to weight loss and weather exposure, Lisa immediately had a strong feeling it was Cocci. The vet confirmed that the stray was a 10-year-old female, just like Cocci. Photos were exchanged and Lisa asked her father to go and identify her. Initially, he hesitated, because he couldn’t believe it was possible that a cat could travel so far alone, but eventually he agreed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 When Lisa’s father saw the cat, he tested her response by calling several names. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three weeks later, Lisa welcomed Cocci, now recovered, home. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 When Lisa’s father saw the cat, he tested her response by calling several names. She reacted only when he said ‌“Cocci”, lifting her head and letting out a soft, familiar meow. Lisa, watching on a video call, recognized her beloved pet and burst into tears. Cocci had lost significant weight — she weighed less than a kilogram — and was suffering from some health issues. She stayed under veterinary care for three weeks before the family was finally allowed to take her home. Three weeks later, Lisa welcomed Cocci, now recovered, home. Cocci was back to her affectionate self, often sitting close to Lisa and following her from room to room. She quickly reclaimed her favorite spot by the living room window, where she would sleep in the afternoon sunlight. Cocci made happier, louder sounds than ever, as if making up for lost time. The family remained amazed at her incredible journey and often talked about it as one of the most heartwarming memories they shared. For Lisa, having Cocci back felt like getting a piece of her heart returned. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Lisa的宠物猫Cocci走失后奇迹般被找到为线索展开，讲述了Cocci在八月失踪，家人搜寻三个月无果。十月，有人在距老家仅五英里处发现一只流浪猫，Lisa通过Facebook帖子认出可能是Cocci。兽医确认后，Lisa让父亲前去辨认。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写父亲唤名测试，猫只对“Cocci”有反应，Lisa通过视频确认后激动落泪。猫因长途跋涉身体虚弱，需兽医治疗三周才能回家。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写Cocci康复回家后恢复亲昵习性，重新占据家中熟悉位置，发出更响亮愉悦的叫声。全家惊叹于它的旅程，Lisa感到失而复得的幸福。 2. 续写线索：唤名确认——视频认出——健康状况——兽医治疗——康复回家——恢复习性——全家感慨——Lisa感受 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①抬起：lift/raise ②认出：recognize/identify 情绪类 ①突然哭起来：burst into tears/burst out crying ②惊叹：amazed/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] She reacted only when he said ‌“Cocci”, lifting her head and letting out a soft, familiar meow.

It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you. A Puzzle The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations: ბრაზილია Brazil პერუ Peru ურუგვაი Uruguay Q: What is the English name of this country “არგენტინა”? The Solution ·The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match. ·The repeated-U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right. ·“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: რ → R, ა → A, გ → G, ე → E. ·With these letters, the pattern არგენტინა can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ _ A,” which is “Argentina”. Contest Rules ·Each individual contestant or team must choose a working language for their problems and solutions, a choice that cannot be changed less than two weeks before the Olympiad begins. ·The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less. ·Unless instructed, giving multiple (多样的) answers will receive zero marks.

B The four familiar words physicians always fear come when the office visit is ending, the doctor’s hand reaching for the door. “Oh, by the way,” the patient says. “Should I be worried about this chest pain I’ve been having?” The doctor has to go back into the room and start over again. Doctors call it “the doorknob phenomenon”. Doctors’ rushed schedules and patients’ natural hesitation to reveal frightening or embarrassing symptoms (症状) make those questions at the doorknob almost unavoidable, but medical schools increasingly are teaching students how to avoid such situations. Dr. Rita Charon at Columbia University’s medical school encourages doctors-in-training to signal some desire to hear about patients and their greatest concerns. She teaches a method she has adopted with her own new patients, whom she tells: “I’m going to be your doctor and I need to know a lot about your health and your body and your life.” Then she stops talking, and doesn’t write anything down or check the computer — she just listens. “When I did this the first time, the patient started crying, saying ‘No one ever let me do this before,’” Charon said. Another patient Nancy Conley says embarrassment led to her own doorknob questions about smelly feet. She sometimes talked herself out of mentioning it at all, trying to downplay it in her mind during the visit. Charon’s advice to doctors for avoiding such resistance is to slow down. A rushed atmosphere can make patients feel uncomfortable about mentioning bothersome issues. Instead, doctors should take a moment to imagine what it’s like to be the patient. “This could help break the ice,” Charon said. Margaret Fitzpatrick, a nurse at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, says patients can help, too, by writing down questions to ask the doctor before each visit. “People need to be better prepared for the experience of going to the doctor,” Fitzpatrick said. “So if they have a strange spot on their neck, they need to take the responsibility of bringing it up rather than hoping that the doctor will see it and bring it up.” 4. What is “the doorknob phenomenon”? A. Doctors ignore patients’ problems. B. Doctors rush to end appointments. C. Patients forget their mild symptoms. D. Patients keep key issues till the last. 5. What is the core of Charon’s method mentioned in paragraph 3? A. Respecting patients’ personal privacy. B. Allowing patients to release emotions. C. Showing professionalism to patients. D. Encouraging patients to open up. 6. How can doctors prevent “the doorknob phenomenon” according to Charon? A. By skipping patients’ bothersome issues. B. By putting themselves in patients’ shoes. C. By advising patients to make frequent visits. D. By telling patients to write down their questions. 7. What does Fitzpatrick expect patients to do? A. Raise their concerns actively. B. Ask few off-topic questions. C. Trust the doctor’s judgment. D. Record the doctor’s evaluation. C Beneath the shiny surface of coastal waters lies an often-overlooked ecosystem: seagrass meadows (草甸). Moving with the flow of the water, their delicate leaves safeguard shorelines, purify water and support sea life. “Seagrass is often referred to as a Swiss-army knife, as it has so many wonderful services that are so valuable not just to us, but to nature as a whole,” shares Sophie Pipe, seagrass conservationist at Cornwall Wildlife Trust. Sophie explains how globally these meadows are crucial for sea life at all stages. “They’re used as places to lay eggs for fish and sharks, a food source for manatees (海牛) and a training ground for young dolphins.” In the UK, these habitats are important commercially, as they sustain our fisheries. Besides, seagrass covers only 0.1% of the ocean floor, but accounts for 18% of the ocean’s carbon storage. However, seagrasses are threatened. “In the UK, we’ve lost as much as 90% of our seagrass. A major driver is water pollution from agricultural run-off and wastewater overflow, which causes fast algal (海藻的) growth that then blocks sunlight. This prevents light-dependent growth and takes oxygen from seagrass meadows,” Sophie explains. “Seagrass has also been seen to die off rapidly during ocean heat waves, which is a bad sign for our warming ocean. Climate change is also increasing the intensity and frequency of storms, which can disturb and uproot seagrass meadows, ” Sophie explains. Now Sophie is working on a seagrass restoration project in Cornwall. “We only have two remaining seagrass beds in Cornwall. The project aims to see if we can restore these sites in a cost-effective way so that our techniques can be used in other places to replant meadows,” explains Sophie. One and a half years into the pilot study, her team is already seeing results. Seedlings are taking root, starting to grow and even spreading. “You don’t need to live by the coast to care about seagrass,” encourages Sophie. “Ultimately, what we do on land drives what happens in the sea.” 8. Why is seagrass compared to a Swiss-army knife? A. It is a weapon against climate change. B. It has multiple survival skills. C. It offers many benefits. D. It has sharp leaves. 9. What is the main reason for the decline of seagrass? A. Pollution of the ocean. B. Development of fisheries. C. Arrival of competing plants. D. An increase in manatee population. 10. What can be inferred about Sophie’s project? A. It still takes ages to see the results. B. It needs to be more cost-effective. C. It has been expanded greatly. D. It is gaining success. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Saving Seagrass, Restoring the Ocean B. A Seagrass Conservationist’s Journey C. How Climate Change Destroys Seagrass D. Can Seagrass Sow Hope for Carbon Storage? D It is widely acknowledged that crows are highly intelligent with cognitive abilities similar to those of 5-to 7-year-old children. Past research shows that they can count to four and distinguish human voices and faces, and some species can even create tools for future use. Lately, a special study has expanded this list further, revealing that crows can recognize basic geometric features, such as side lengths, parallel lines, and right angles, and tell apart shapes like stars, crescents, squares, and irregular four-sided figures. With the purpose of testing the crows’ geometric skills, scientists showed two crows six shapes on a digital screen and trained them to peck (啄) at the outlier—the shape that looked different from the rest. When the birds chose correctly, they were rewarded with a tasty snack. At first, the researchers made the outlier obvious, such as one flower among five crescents. As the birds got used to the task, the shapes became more similar including squares and irregular four- sided figures. Despite the increasing difficulty, the crows continued to identify the outlier correctly. The shape recognition ability of crows remains a topic of interest for researchers. They suspect this ability may help them with navigation as they fly around. The birds may have also developed this ability to help them search for food or identify other individual crows — including potential mates — based on their facial features. “All these abilities, at the end of the day, from a biological point of view, have evolved because they provide a survival advantage or a reproductive advantage,” says study senior author Andreas Nieder, a neurophysiologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany. In the future, researchers hope to explore which areas of the birds’ brains are responsible for their exceptional ability in geometry. Birds don’t have a cerebral cortex (大脑皮层)—at least, not in the same way that humans do. But for us, that part of the brain is responsible for thinking and other complex functions. Crows still have these abilities, so the researchers assume there must be something else going on inside their heads. “Obviously, evolution found two different ways of giving rise to behaviorally flexible animals,” Nieder says. 12. What does the recent study reveal about crows? A. They can draw simple figures with tools. B. They can distinguish between basic shapes in geometry. C. They can do easy math calculations. D. They can recognize human voices and faces. 13. How did the researchers increase the difficulty of the shape- recognition task? A. By shortening the time for the crows to respond. B. By presenting more familiar shapes on the screen. C. By showing the figures with different colors. D. By enhancing the similarity among the shapes. 14. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The role of crows’ geometric potential in navigation. B. Reasons for crows to evolve shape identification abilities. C. Survival benefits of crows’ cognitive talents. D. The advantages of crows’ food-searching skills over other birds. 15. What is the follow-up step for future study? A. Investigating crows’ brain areas related to geometric skills. B. Comparing the cerebral cortex of humans and crows. C. Exploring other complex functions of crows’ brains. D.

What Happens with Test Anxiety? When you’re under stress (like right before a test), your body releases a hormone (激素) called adrenaline, which brings the ‌“fight or flight” response. It can cause physical reactions like sweating, a pounding heart, fast breathing, or even a stomach ache and headache. ____17____ At the same time, if you keep thinking about failing or forgetting what you studied, your anxiety will grow stronger. These negative thoughts make stress worse and can actually hurt your test performance. Who’s Likely to Have Test Anxiety? ____18____ It can be hard for them to accept mistakes or get anything less than a perfect score. Students who aren’t prepared for tests but care about doing well are also likely to have test anxiety. How Can I Overcome Test Anxiety? There are lots of ways to stress less over tests: • Start studying the day the teacher first says there will be an exam. ____19____ • Try breathing exercises to relax. • Remind yourself that you don’t have to get a perfect score on every test. Everyone slips up, so don’t overthink mistakes. ____20____ Test anxiety won’t go away overnight. But dealing with it can help you handle stress better — even when you’re not taking exams. A. Luckily, test anxiety can be lessened. B. A little stress can help you focus and do better. C. Think of them as chances to learn for the next time. D.

The family took great care at their new location to keep Cocci inside the house, because they were worried she’d get lost in the different surroundings. Cocci held a special place in Lisa’s heart. She had been Lisa’s friend since childhood. Lisa loved brushing Cocci’s soft hair after school, and the cat would often curl up (蜷缩) beside her while she did her homework or read a book. On quiet evenings, Cocci would follow Lisa around the house, sometimes curling up on her lap during family movie nights. Cocci had a calm, affectionate personality and would often react to Lisa’s whisper. Their bond was unmistakable. But Cocci went missing in August. The disappearance left the entire family heartbroken, especially Lisa. For three months, the worried family tried everything they could think of, but Cocci was nowhere to be found. To stop Lisa from worrying, her mother Sue told her that she thought Cocci had probably gone back to their old home — though she did not believe for a second it could be true. Remarkably, in early October, a stranger found a stray (走失的) cat more than 450 kilometers away — just five miles from the family’s former residence — and took it to a local vet (兽医). Around the same time, Lisa saw a post shared on Facebook about a cat found near her previous home. Though the cat looked noticeably different due to weight loss and weather exposure, Lisa immediately had a strong feeling it was Cocci. The vet confirmed that the stray was a 10-year-old female, just like Cocci. Photos were exchanged and Lisa asked her father to go and identify her. Initially, he hesitated, because he couldn’t believe it was possible that a cat could travel so far alone, but eventually he agreed. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 When Lisa’s father saw the cat, he tested her response by calling several names. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three weeks later, Lisa welcomed Cocci, now recovered, home. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
