We look at five other pioneering female physicists — past and present — who actually deserve the prize. Jocelyn Bell Burnell Perhaps the most famous snub (冷落): the student Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967, when she was a PhD student at Cambridge.The Nobel Prize that recognised this landmark discovery in 1974, however, went to her male supervisor, Antony Hewish.Recently awarded a £2.3 million Breakthrough Prize, which she gave away to help under-represented students, she joked to The Guardian, “I feel I’ve done very well out of not getting a Nobel Prize.” Lene Hau Hau is best-known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light, before managing to stop it completely in 2001.Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists, could 2019 be Hau’s year. Vera Rubin Rubin discovered dark matter in the 1980s, opening up a new field of astronomy.She died in 2016, without recognition from the committee. Chien-Shiung Wu Wu’s “Wu experiment” helped disprove the “law of conservation of parity”.Her experimental work was helpful but never honoured, and instead, her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize for their theoretical work behind the study. Lise Meitner Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission.However, the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which was won by her male co-lead, Otto Hahn. 1. When was the discovery of radio pulsars recognised by the Nobel? A. In 1944． B. In 1967． C. In 1974． D. In 1980． 2. Which woman is most likely to win a Nobel Prize later according to the text? A. Donna Strickland. B. Jocelyn Bell Burnell. C. Lene Hau. D. Vera Rubin. 3. What do we know about the five females? A. The five female scientists did greatly in chemistry. B. Vera Rubin had opened up a new field in geometry. C. Lise Meitner’s teacher won a Nobel Prize for her work. D. The five female scientists haven’t been awarded Nobel Prize. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从55年来第一位获诺贝尔物理学奖的女性谈起，介绍了另外五位原本有资格获得这个奖项的女科学家。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Jocelyn Bell Burnell中的“Perhaps the most famous snub (冷落): the student Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967, when she was a PhD student at Cambridge. The Nobel Prize that recognised this landmark discovery in 1974, however, went to her male supervisor, Antony Hewish.(也许最著名的冷落是：1967年，当时还是学生的贝尔发现了第一颗射电脉冲星，当时她还是剑桥大学的一名博士生。然而，1974年的诺贝尔奖却将这一里程碑式的发现授予了她的男性导师安东尼·休伊什。)”可知，第一个射电脉冲星在1967年被发现，被授予诺贝尔奖是在1974年。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lene Hau中的“Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists, could 2019 be Hau’s year.(经常在诺贝尔奖预测名单上名列前茅，2019年可能是Hau的一年。)”可知，Lene Hau经常被列于诺贝尔奖预测名单上榜首，她最有可能获诺贝尔奖。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段总述中的“It’s the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this famous prize, but why has it taken so long? We look at five other pioneering female physicists — past and present — who actually deserve the prize.(这是55年来第一次有女性获得这个著名的奖项，但为什么花了这么长时间？我们来看看其他五位女性物理学先驱——过去的和现在的——她们确实应该获得这个奖项。)”可知，这五位女科学家还没有获得诺贝尔奖。故选D。 B Coral reefs, long hailed as centers of marine biodiversity, are now being revealed as powerful conductors of microscopic life in the waters around them. A pioneering study led by Dr. Herdis Steinsdóttir demonstrates that reefs actively shape daily rhythms in nearby microbial communities, changing their makeup and numbers over each 24-hour period. Published in Science Advances, the research monitored microbes in the northern Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea. By comparing waters close to reefs with open ocean areas during both winter and summer, and collecting samples every six hours, the team uncovered clear daily and seasonal patterns previously missed. They employed advanced methods like genetic sequencing and high-resolution imaging to track bacteria, microalgae, and microscopic predators with great detail. Key findings emerged. Reef waters consistently had lower counts of bacteria and microalgae compared to open waters, pointing to active removal by reef life. In contrast, populations of heterotrophic protists — tiny predators that consume bacteria — reached their highest levels at night, sometimes increasing by 80%. This nighttime spike emphasizes predation (捕食) as a major force driving changes in microbial communities. Another major discovery involved Symbiodiniaceae, the microscopic algae (微观藻类) that live in symbiosis with corals. Their genetic markers peaked around midday in reef waters, suggesting a daily cycle tied to light availability and coral biological activity. This highlights the reef’s active, not passive, role in organizing microbial life. As co-author Dr. Frada stated, “Reefs generate daily patterns that repeat with the seasons and affect how energy moves through the system.” Importantly, the study found that these daily microbial rhythms were as powerful as seasonal changes, stressing the critical need to consider time of day in ecological studies. By combining genetic, imaging, and environmental data, the research provided a comprehensive, time-based picture of microbial life around reefs. It not only deepens our understanding of reefs’ broader ecological influence but also paves the way for new conservation approaches that use an understanding of microbial rhythms to protect these vital ecosystems. 4. What is the main finding of the study led by Dr. Steinsdottir? A. Coral reefs are facing unprecedented threats from microbial activities. B. Microbial populations near reefs show changes only with the seasons. C. Reefs actively create daily rhythmic patterns in nearby microbial populations. D. Reefs passively host a diverse but stable community of microbes year-round. 5. What can be inferred about heterotrophic protists from paragraph 3? A. They are most active during the day B. They are a primary food source for corals. C. They are less abundant in reef waters than in the open ocean. D. Their population rise helps control bacterial numbers at night. 6. Why does the author quote Dr. Frada in paragraph 4? A. To emphasize the passive nature of coral reefs. B. To highlight the seasonal stability of reef ecosystems. C. To stress the active role of reefs in shaping microbial cycles. D. To explain the sampling methodology already used in the study. 7. What is the significance of the discovery that daily rhythms are as strong as seasonal ones? A. It proves that seasonal changes are irrelevant to reef studies. B. It suggests that time of day is a crucial factor in ecological research. C. It shows that all marine ecosystems operate on identical daily cycles. D. It indicates that microbial activity is unrelated to environmental changes. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍Steinsdóttir博士团队的研究，揭示珊瑚礁对周边微生物群落日常节律的积极塑造作用及研究意义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A pioneering study led by Dr. Herdis Steinsdóttir demonstrates that reefs actively shape daily rhythms in nearby microbial communities, changing their makeup and numbers over each 24-hour period.(赫迪斯·斯坦斯多蒂尔博士领导的一项开创性研究表明，珊瑚礁积极塑造周边微生物群落的日常节律，每24小时改变它们的组成和数量)”可知，该研究的主要发现是珊瑚礁积极创造周边微生物群落的日常节律模式。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In contrast, populations of heterotrophic protists — tiny predators that consume bacteria — reached their highest levels at night, sometimes increasing by 80%. This nighttime spike emphasizes predation (捕食) as a major force driving changes in microbial communities.(相比之下，异养原生生物——以细菌为食的小型捕食者——的数量在夜间达到最高水平，有时会增加80%。这种夜间激增凸显了捕食是推动微生物群落变化的主要力量)”可推断，异养原生生物的数量上升有助于在夜间控制细菌数量。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This highlights the reef’s active, not passive, role in organizing microbial life. As co-author Dr. Frada stated, “Reefs generate daily patterns that repeat with the seasons and affect how energy moves through the system.”(这凸显了珊瑚礁在组织微生物生命方面的积极作用，而非被动作用。正如合著者弗拉达博士所说：“珊瑚礁产生随季节重复的日常模式，并影响能量在系统中的流动方式。”)”可知，作者引用弗拉达博士的话是为了强调珊瑚礁在塑造微生物节律中的积极作用。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Importantly, the study found that these daily microbial rhythms were as powerful as seasonal changes, stressing the critical need to consider time of day in ecological studies.(重要的是，该研究发现这些微生物的日常节律与季节变化同样强烈，强调了在生态研究中考虑一天中时间因素的迫切需要)”可知，这一发现的意义在于表明一天中的时间是生态研究中的关键因素。故选B项。 C Children are arriving at primary school incapable of speaking properly but able to swipe screens on devices, while older pupils are self-diagnosing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) because of exposure to online content, research has found. Head teachers said that primary schools needed help handling wrong theories because pupils and their parents were getting nearly all their news from social media. The online world was influencing the behaviour, beliefs and concentration of pupils. Even children in England are taught how to identify wrong theories and extremist content in media literacy lessons in the recent classes. There is also growing pressure on the government to ban phones in schools, but even very young children are being exposed to extreme or age-inappropriate online content at home. Rather than being supportive, parents make the situation worse. Parents were seen as ill-equipped, often misleading their kids. Ian, a deputy head, said, “It’s very hard because we have parents who think COVID-19 wasn’t real.” Teachers added that access to unfiltered information online was having a significant impact on pupils’ behaviour. Other teachers said boys as young as five or six seeing content by Andrew Tate and other prejudiced influencers tend to abuse their classmates. Teachers said they felt underprepared when it came to addressing misinformation, fake news and illogical theories. Another teacher said, “The mental health, particularly with children in Years 5 and 6, is being massively affected because of what they’re seeing through these algorithms (算法), because they keep diving deeper and deeper into it.” Amy Braier, director, said, “Teachers are willing to take on this challenge but they need support from wider society, government and — more importantly — parents.” 8. How do teachers feel about kids’ easy access to the Internet? A. Proud. B. Worried. C. Indifferent. D. Sympathetic. 9. Who is possibly responsible for children’s exposure to wrong information online? A. Their teachers. B. The government. C. Their parents. D. The influencers. 10. How does the information affect students according to the text? A. They can’t concentrate on study. B. They acquire better language skills. C. They gradually become mentally healthier. D. They form a better relationship with others. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More online time makes kids smarter. B. Teachers hesitate to solve the problem. C. Society plays a key role in solving the problem. D. Parents should try to guide their kids well at home. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章通过教师和研究人员的观点，揭示了儿童因过度接触网络及社交媒体上的不实信息和极端内容，导致语言能力下降、注意力分散、心理健康受损及行为偏差，并呼吁家长、社会与政府共同承担引导责任。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段“The online world was influencing the behaviour, beliefs and concentration of pupils.(网络世界正在影响着学生的行为、观念和注意力集中程度。)”和第四段“Teachers added that access to unfiltered information online was having a significant impact on pupils’ behaviour. Other teachers said boys as young as five or six seeing content by Andrew Tate and other prejudiced influencers tend to abuse their classmates. Teachers said they felt underprepared when it came to addressing misinformation, fake news and illogical theories.(老师们补充道，学生能够无限制地获取网络信息，这对其行为产生了重大影响。还有其他老师表示，五岁或六岁大的男孩看到安德鲁·泰特等带有偏见的网红所发布的内容后，往往会欺负同学。老师们表示，在应对错误信息、假新闻和不合逻辑的理论方面，他们感到准备不足。)”可知，教师们对孩子们轻易接触网络所带来的负面影响感到担忧。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Rather than being supportive, parents make the situation worse. Parents were seen as ill-equipped, often misleading their kids.  Ian, a deputy head, said, “It’s very hard because we have parents who think COVID-19 wasn’t real.”(家长非但没有起到支持作用，反而让情况变得更糟。人们认为家长缺乏相关能力，常常误导孩子。一位副校长伊恩表示：‘这非常棘手，因为我们有那些认为新冠病毒并不存在的家长。’)”可知，家长不仅未能正确引导孩子，反而自身存在错误认知，对孩子接触网络错误信息负有责任。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段第一句“The online world was influencing the behaviour, beliefs and concentration of pupils.(网络世界正在影响着学生的行为、观念和注意力集中程度。)”以及第五段“Another teacher said, “The mental health, particularly with children in Years 5 and 6, is being massively affected because of what they’re seeing through these algorithms (算法), because they keep diving deeper and deeper into it.”(另一位老师说：‘孩子们的心理健康正受到巨大影响，尤其是五、六年级的学生，因为他们通过算法看到的内容，会让他们越陷越深。’ )”可知，网络信息导致学生无法集中精力学习，影响了学生的心理健康。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Amy Braier, director, said, “Teachers are willing to take on this challenge but they need support from wider society, government and — more importantly — parents.”(负责人艾米・布雷耶表示：‘教师们愿意迎接这一挑战，但他们需要更广泛的社会、政府，以及更重要的 —— 家长的支持。’)” 可知，在解决孩子受网络不良信息影响的问题上，家长的作用被强调为“更重要”；结合前文第三段中“Rather than being supportive, parents make the situation worse. Parents were seen as ill-equipped, often misleading their kids.  Ian, a deputy head, said, “It’s very hard because we have parents who think COVID-19 wasn’t real.”(家长非但没有起到支持作用，反而让情况变得更糟。人们认为家长缺乏相关能力，常常误导孩子。一位副校长伊恩表示：‘这非常棘手，因为我们有那些认为新冠病毒并不存在的家长。’)”指出家长自身存在问题，可以推断出家长应在家里更好地引导孩子。故选D。 D Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot. All over the world, as soon as light filters over the horizon, songbirds start singing. They sing to defend their territory and to impress potential mates. “Why birds sing is relatively well-answered,” says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much? “For some reason,” Adam says, birds have “a crazy drive to sing.” This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. Plus, singing can be dangerous. “As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself,” she says. “Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is —all of that immediately is out in the open for predators, for everybody.” In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They suggest that songbirds may not have much choice. They may have to sing a lot every day to give their vocal muscles the regular exercise they need to produce top-quality song. These findings could be related to human voices too. “If you apply the bird results to the humans,” says Adam, “anytime you stop speaking, for whatever reason, you might experience a loss in vocal performance.” To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise, Adam designed a series of experiments on zebra finches —little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks. Through these experiments. Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that’s bad.” This may help explain songbirds’ constant singing. It’s a kind of daily vocal practice to keep their instruments in tip-top shape. It’s a good rule to live by, whether you’re a bird or a human—practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one’s heart out. 12. What does Iris Adam try to figure out? A. Why all the birds don’t sing. B. Why songbirds sing so well. C. Why songbirds sing so much. D. Why birds have vocal muscles. 13. What do the underlined words “that risk” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Defending territory. B. Impressing partners. C. Singing all to death. D. Threatening lives. 14. Which of the following agrees with Adam’s experiment conclusion? A. Regular singing helps to exercise songbirds’ vocal muscles. B. Songbirds have to sing their heart out to win their partners. C. Zebra finches are born to have excellent vocal instruments. D. Good vocal muscles are more attractive to female songbirds. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. A New Study of Songbirds B. The Way That Songbirds Sing C. Practice Makes a Perfect Song D. The Reason Why Birds Sing Much 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了神经学家艾瑞斯·亚当对于为什么鸟唱得这么多歌的研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much?(对她来说，最大的问题是：为什么鸟唱得这么多歌？)”可知，爱瑞丝·亚当想弄明白为什么鸟唱得这么多歌。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. Plus, singing can be dangerous.(对一些物种来说，这意味着每天需要几个小时，这需要大量的能量。另外，唱歌可能很危险)”和第三段““As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself,” she says. “Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is —all of that immediately is out in the open for predators, for everybody.”(她说:“只要你一唱歌，你就暴露了自己。比如，你在哪里，你甚至存在，你的领土在哪里——所有这些都立即暴露在捕食者面前，对所有鸟类来说。”)”可知，鸣禽每天长时间的歌唱不仅会耗掉它们大量的能量，而且还可能因歌唱暴露自己而带来不确定的生命风险。故划线词意思是“威胁生命”。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Through these experiments. Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that’s bad.”(通过这些实验。亚当的结论是：“鸣禽需要锻炼发声肌肉，才能唱出最好的歌曲。如果他们不唱歌，他们就会失去表演能力，他们的声音对雌性的吸引力就会降低——这很糟糕。”)”可知，经常唱歌有助于锻炼鸣禽的发声肌肉。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much?(对她来说，最大的问题是：为什么鸟唱得这么多歌？)”结合本文通过实验来解释鸣为什么会不厌其烦地歌唱。故D选项“鸟儿唱歌的原因”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。 Last Day of School Activities On the last day of school, there’s no more time for long-term projects. ____16____ If you’re wondering how to organize the last day of the school year so that it’s as fun and unforgettable as possible, consider these ideas: Activity No. 1 — ____17____ They can offer tips for success in your classroom, or share favorite memories, inside jokes, anything that a new student in your room might be interested in.

The recycling center in Bushwick was like a second home to me, a place where my mother and I would bring our collected items in a shopping cart, going through the streets with a mixture of pride and embarrassment. My family collected bottles from sunup to sundown all year long. My mother left at dawn to collect cans, and when she returned 12 hours later, I helped her pull the shopping cart among the six long blocks to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. Although this center had been like my second home for the past years, I had kept it mostly a secret. I couldn’t bear the idea of my friends knowing that my family relied on collecting cans and bottles for survival. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. Even though I had a lot of friends and was a social butterfly, I was not ready to trust someone else. Then in the summer before my senior year I took a college essay course. We were asked to tell a time when we faced a challenge, setback, or failure and how it affected us, and what we learned from the experience. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood’s gentrification(社区改造) had on me, and how that led me to volunteer with officials in my community who were trying to fight it. At the end of my essay, only the last sentence mentioned can collecting. One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however it is not about personal growth. How about telling me more about the can collecting?” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him, so I rewrote the essay. This time, I poured my heart into it, detailing the struggles, the pride, and the lessons I had learned from my family’s daily routine. Two days later, unexpectedly my teacher asked some students including me to share our essays in class. 注意：1.续写词数应该为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day of sharing our essays in class came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I finished reading, I looked up to see my classmates’ faces. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The day of sharing our essays in class came. My heart pounded as I stood up, holding my essay tightly. Taking a deep breath, I began to read. I told them about my family’s daily routine of collecting bottles and cans, the early mornings my mother spent searching, and the long walks to the recycling center. I shared my feelings of embarrassment and pride, and how I had grown from this experience. My voice trembled a bit at first, but as I continued, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. As I finished reading, I looked up to see my classmates’ faces. To my surprise, there were no signs of mockery or disdain. Instead, I saw expressions of admiration and understanding. Some of my classmates even nodded in approval. One of my friends came up to me and said, “I had no idea, but I respect you so much for your family’s hard work and for sharing this with us.” Another classmate added, “Your story is so inspiring.” I felt a warmth spread through my chest. For the first time, I realized that my family’s can collecting was not something to be ashamed of, but a source of strength and pride. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家靠收集瓶罐为生，作者对此既骄傲又尴尬，一直向朋友隐瞒。高三前暑假的大学论文课上，作者起初写社区改造影响，仅文末提收集瓶罐，老师建议多写此经历。因信任老师，作者重写详述其中感悟。后在课堂分享时，作者鼓起勇气讲述，意外获同学钦佩理解，从而意识到家庭收集瓶罐经历是力量与骄傲的源泉，而非耻辱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在课堂上分享作文的日子到了。”可知，第一段可描写作者在课堂上分享作文的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“读完后，我抬头看到了同学们的脸。”可知，第二段可描写作者惊讶于同学们的反应，没有任何嘲笑或蔑视的迹象。相反，是钦佩和理解的表情。 2.续写线索：分享作文的日子到了——分享的过程——抬头看了同学们的脸——惊讶于同学们的反应——钦佩和理解——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走过来：came up/ walk up ②.意识到：realized/ be aware of ③.颤抖：trembled/ quivered 情绪类 ①.惊讶：surprise /astonishment ②.鼓舞人心的：inspiring/ encouraging 【点睛】[高分句型1].

We look at five other pioneering female physicists — past and present — who actually deserve the prize. Jocelyn Bell Burnell Perhaps the most famous snub (冷落): the student Bell discovered the first radio pulsars in 1967, when she was a PhD student at Cambridge.The Nobel Prize that recognised this landmark discovery in 1974, however, went to her male supervisor, Antony Hewish.Recently awarded a £2.3 million Breakthrough Prize, which she gave away to help under-represented students, she joked to The Guardian, “I feel I’ve done very well out of not getting a Nobel Prize.” Lene Hau Hau is best-known for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light, before managing to stop it completely in 2001.Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists, could 2019 be Hau’s year. Vera Rubin Rubin discovered dark matter in the 1980s, opening up a new field of astronomy.She died in 2016, without recognition from the committee. Chien-Shiung Wu Wu’s “Wu experiment” helped disprove the “law of conservation of parity”.Her experimental work was helpful but never honoured, and instead, her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize for their theoretical work behind the study. Lise Meitner Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission.However, the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which was won by her male co-lead, Otto Hahn. 1. When was the discovery of radio pulsars recognised by the Nobel? A. In 1944． B. In 1967． C. In 1974． D. In 1980． 2. Which woman is most likely to win a Nobel Prize later according to the text? A. Donna Strickland. B. Jocelyn Bell Burnell. C. Lene Hau. D. Vera Rubin. 3. What do we know about the five females? A. The five female scientists did greatly in chemistry. B. Vera Rubin had opened up a new field in geometry. C. Lise Meitner’s teacher won a Nobel Prize for her work. D. The five female scientists haven’t been awarded Nobel Prize. B Coral reefs, long hailed as centers of marine biodiversity, are now being revealed as powerful conductors of microscopic life in the waters around them. A pioneering study led by Dr. Herdis Steinsdóttir demonstrates that reefs actively shape daily rhythms in nearby microbial communities, changing their makeup and numbers over each 24-hour period. Published in Science Advances, the research monitored microbes in the northern Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea. By comparing waters close to reefs with open ocean areas during both winter and summer, and collecting samples every six hours, the team uncovered clear daily and seasonal patterns previously missed. They employed advanced methods like genetic sequencing and high-resolution imaging to track bacteria, microalgae, and microscopic predators with great detail. Key findings emerged. Reef waters consistently had lower counts of bacteria and microalgae compared to open waters, pointing to active removal by reef life. In contrast, populations of heterotrophic protists — tiny predators that consume bacteria — reached their highest levels at night, sometimes increasing by 80%. This nighttime spike emphasizes predation (捕食) as a major force driving changes in microbial communities. Another major discovery involved Symbiodiniaceae, the microscopic algae (微观藻类) that live in symbiosis with corals. Their genetic markers peaked around midday in reef waters, suggesting a daily cycle tied to light availability and coral biological activity. This highlights the reef’s active, not passive, role in organizing microbial life. As co-author Dr. Frada stated, “Reefs generate daily patterns that repeat with the seasons and affect how energy moves through the system.” Importantly, the study found that these daily microbial rhythms were as powerful as seasonal changes, stressing the critical need to consider time of day in ecological studies. By combining genetic, imaging, and environmental data, the research provided a comprehensive, time-based picture of microbial life around reefs. It not only deepens our understanding of reefs’ broader ecological influence but also paves the way for new conservation approaches that use an understanding of microbial rhythms to protect these vital ecosystems. 4. What is the main finding of the study led by Dr. Steinsdottir? A. Coral reefs are facing unprecedented threats from microbial activities. B. Microbial populations near reefs show changes only with the seasons. C. Reefs actively create daily rhythmic patterns in nearby microbial populations. D. Reefs passively host a diverse but stable community of microbes year-round. 5. What can be inferred about heterotrophic protists from paragraph 3? A. They are most active during the day B. They are a primary food source for corals. C. They are less abundant in reef waters than in the open ocean. D. Their population rise helps control bacterial numbers at night. 6. Why does the author quote Dr. Frada in paragraph 4? A. To emphasize the passive nature of coral reefs. B. To highlight the seasonal stability of reef ecosystems. C. To stress the active role of reefs in shaping microbial cycles. D. To explain the sampling methodology already used in the study. 7. What is the significance of the discovery that daily rhythms are as strong as seasonal ones? A. It proves that seasonal changes are irrelevant to reef studies. B. It suggests that time of day is a crucial factor in ecological research. C. It shows that all marine ecosystems operate on identical daily cycles. D. It indicates that microbial activity is unrelated to environmental changes. C Children are arriving at primary school incapable of speaking properly but able to swipe screens on devices, while older pupils are self-diagnosing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) because of exposure to online content, research has found. Head teachers said that primary schools needed help handling wrong theories because pupils and their parents were getting nearly all their news from social media. The online world was influencing the behaviour, beliefs and concentration of pupils. Even children in England are taught how to identify wrong theories and extremist content in media literacy lessons in the recent classes. There is also growing pressure on the government to ban phones in schools, but even very young children are being exposed to extreme or age-inappropriate online content at home. Rather than being supportive, parents make the situation worse. Parents were seen as ill-equipped, often misleading their kids. Ian, a deputy head, said, “It’s very hard because we have parents who think COVID-19 wasn’t real.” Teachers added that access to unfiltered information online was having a significant impact on pupils’ behaviour. Other teachers said boys as young as five or six seeing content by Andrew Tate and other prejudiced influencers tend to abuse their classmates. Teachers said they felt underprepared when it came to addressing misinformation, fake news and illogical theories. Another teacher said, “The mental health, particularly with children in Years 5 and 6, is being massively affected because of what they’re seeing through these algorithms (算法), because they keep diving deeper and deeper into it.” Amy Braier, director, said, “Teachers are willing to take on this challenge but they need support from wider society, government and — more importantly — parents.” 8. How do teachers feel about kids’ easy access to the Internet? A. Proud. B. Worried. C. Indifferent. D. Sympathetic. 9. Who is possibly responsible for children’s exposure to wrong information online? A. Their teachers. B. The government. C. Their parents. D. The influencers. 10. How does the information affect students according to the text? A. They can’t concentrate on study. B. They acquire better language skills. C. They gradually become mentally healthier. D. They form a better relationship with others. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More online time makes kids smarter. B. Teachers hesitate to solve the problem. C. Society plays a key role in solving the problem. D. Parents should try to guide their kids well at home. D Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot. All over the world, as soon as light filters over the horizon, songbirds start singing. They sing to defend their territory and to impress potential mates. “Why birds sing is relatively well-answered,” says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was this: Why do birds sing so much? “For some reason,” Adam says, birds have “a crazy drive to sing.” This means hours every day for some species, and that takes a lot of energy. Plus, singing can be dangerous. “As soon as you sing, you reveal yourself,” she says. “Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is —all of that immediately is out in the open for predators, for everybody.” In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for why birds take that risk. They suggest that songbirds may not have much choice. They may have to sing a lot every day to give their vocal muscles the regular exercise they need to produce top-quality song. These findings could be related to human voices too. “If you apply the bird results to the humans,” says Adam, “anytime you stop speaking, for whatever reason, you might experience a loss in vocal performance.” To figure out whether the muscles that produce birdsong require daily exercise, Adam designed a series of experiments on zebra finches —little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks. Through these experiments. Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance, their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that’s bad.” This may help explain songbirds’ constant singing. It’s a kind of daily vocal practice to keep their instruments in tip-top shape. It’s a good rule to live by, whether you’re a bird or a human—practice makes perfect, at least when it comes to singing one’s heart out. 12. What does Iris Adam try to figure out? A. Why all the birds don’t sing. B. Why songbirds sing so well. C. Why songbirds sing so much. D. Why birds have vocal muscles. 13. What do the underlined words “that risk” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Defending territory. B. Impressing partners. C. Singing all to death. D. Threatening lives. 14. Which of the following agrees with Adam’s experiment conclusion? A. Regular singing helps to exercise songbirds’ vocal muscles. B. Songbirds have to sing their heart out to win their partners. C. Zebra finches are born to have excellent vocal instruments. D. Good vocal muscles are more attractive to female songbirds. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. A New Study of Songbirds B. The Way That Songbirds Sing C. Practice Makes a Perfect Song D. The Reason Why Birds Sing Much 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。 Last Day of School Activities On the last day of school, there’s no more time for long-term projects. ____16____ If you’re wondering how to organize the last day of the school year so that it’s as fun and unforgettable as possible, consider these ideas: Activity No. 1 — ____17____ They can offer tips for success in your classroom, or share favorite memories, inside jokes, anything that a new student in your room might be interested in.

The recycling center in Bushwick was like a second home to me, a place where my mother and I would bring our collected items in a shopping cart, going through the streets with a mixture of pride and embarrassment. My family collected bottles from sunup to sundown all year long. My mother left at dawn to collect cans, and when she returned 12 hours later, I helped her pull the shopping cart among the six long blocks to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. Although this center had been like my second home for the past years, I had kept it mostly a secret. I couldn’t bear the idea of my friends knowing that my family relied on collecting cans and bottles for survival. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. Even though I had a lot of friends and was a social butterfly, I was not ready to trust someone else. Then in the summer before my senior year I took a college essay course. We were asked to tell a time when we faced a challenge, setback, or failure and how it affected us, and what we learned from the experience. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood’s gentrification(社区改造) had on me, and how that led me to volunteer with officials in my community who were trying to fight it. At the end of my essay, only the last sentence mentioned can collecting. One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however it is not about personal growth. How about telling me more about the can collecting?” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him, so I rewrote the essay. This time, I poured my heart into it, detailing the struggles, the pride, and the lessons I had learned from my family’s daily routine. Two days later, unexpectedly my teacher asked some students including me to share our essays in class. 注意：1.续写词数应该为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day of sharing our essays in class came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I finished reading, I looked up to see my classmates’ faces. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
