五、阅读理解(每题4分,共20分)
Each spring, rain fills shallow hollows in a woodland near Hangzhou, creating temporary pools that vanish by midsummer. For years, hikers treated them as muddy puddles. In 2024, students from a nearby school noticed strings of frog eggs in one pool and asked why frogs chose water that would soon disappear.
Under the guidance of a biologist, the group mapped twelve pools, recorded water temperature and depth each week, and installed small cameras. They did not handle the animals. Instead, they photographed the same one-metre areas and used one counting method on every visit. At first, they assumed the deepest pools would support the most young frogs. Early data seemed to agree: those pools held water longer and contained more tadpoles. Then the camera recordings changed the story. Fish had entered two of the deepest pools after a stream overflowed. Wherever fish appeared, tadpole numbers dropped sharply.
The finding revealed a trade-off. Temporary pools do not offer permanent security; their value lies in a brief window. If the water disappears too early, tadpoles cannot complete their change into frogs. If it lasts too long and connects with a stream, predators may arrive. The most successful pools were not the deepest but those that held water long enough while remaining separate. This did not mean the shallowest pools were always best: three dried during an unusually hot week and lost nearly all their tadpoles. The students repeated the observations the following spring before drawing a conclusion, and the pattern returned.
Instead of 'fixing' the pools by digging them deeper, the school worked with park managers to protect a variety of depths and the natural routes followed by rainwater. Fallen leaves were left at the edges because they shaded the water and supported tiny organisms that tadpoles ate. New signs now ask visitors to avoid trampling the pools during the breeding season. The project changed how the students saw ordinary places: a short-lived puddle was not an unfinished pond but a habitat shaped by timing. Nature's clues had been present all along; careful measurement revealed what a quick look had missed.
22. What first led the students to investigate the temporary pools?
A. Fish were seen leaving a stream.
B. Frog eggs were found in a pool that would soon vanish.
C. Park managers planned to deepen the pools.
D. Hikers reported that the woodland was flooding.
23. Which evidence made the students revise their first assumption?
A. Deep pools changed temperature more slowly.
B. Fish entered deep pools and tadpole numbers there fell.
C. Shallow pools received less rain than expected.
D. Cameras showed hikers walking near the pools.
24. What does the phrase 'a brief window' in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A place where students could watch the animals.
B. A season when every pool stayed completely safe.
C. A limited period when water lasted long enough but predators stayed away.
D. A short break between two weekly research visits.
25. Why did the students repeat the observations the following spring?
A. To check whether the pattern was reliable beyond one season.
B. To find a safer way to handle the tadpoles.
C. To compare their results with hikers' photographs.
D. To prove that the deepest pool was the most useful.
26. Which title best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. How to Build a Permanent Woodland Pond
B. Why Fish Are Disappearing from City Streams
C. A School Camera Project That Failed
D. When a Temporary Puddle Becomes a Nursery

4. 范文示例
15 March
I placed four soaked mung bean seeds on damp cotton in a clear cup and left it beside the window. The seeds were pale green and their coats were still hard.
18 March
Three seeds had split open. A short white root had pushed downwards from each seed, while a tiny green shoot was beginning to point upwards. I added only a few drops of water.
25 March
The shoots had reached about eight centimetres. Two fresh leaves had unfolded on each plant, and the roots formed a fine network against the cup. The plant nearest the light was the tallest.
5 April
All three plants had grown stronger, but one leaned towards the window. The change showed me how closely growth is linked to light and water. I will turn the cup regularly in the next stage.

五、阅读理解(每题4分,共20分)
Each spring, rain fills shallow hollows in a woodland near Hangzhou, creating temporary pools that vanish by midsummer. For years, hikers treated them as muddy puddles. In 2024, students from a nearby school noticed strings of frog eggs in one pool and asked why frogs chose water that would soon disappear.
Under the guidance of a biologist, the group mapped twelve pools, recorded water temperature and depth each week, and installed small cameras. They did not handle the animals. Instead, they photographed the same one-metre areas and used one counting method on every visit. At first, they assumed the deepest pools would support the most young frogs. Early data seemed to agree: those pools held water longer and contained more tadpoles. Then the camera recordings changed the story. Fish had entered two of the deepest pools after a stream overflowed. Wherever fish appeared, tadpole numbers dropped sharply.
The finding revealed a trade-off. Temporary pools do not offer permanent security; their value lies in a brief window. If the water disappears too early, tadpoles cannot complete their change into frogs. If it lasts too long and connects with a stream, predators may arrive. The most successful pools were not the deepest but those that held water long enough while remaining separate. This did not mean the shallowest pools were always best: three dried during an unusually hot week and lost nearly all their tadpoles. The students repeated the observations the following spring before drawing a conclusion, and the pattern returned.
Instead of 'fixing' the pools by digging them deeper, the school worked with park managers to protect a variety of depths and the natural routes followed by rainwater. Fallen leaves were left at the edges because they shaded the water and supported tiny organisms that tadpoles ate. New signs now ask visitors to avoid trampling the pools during the breeding season. The project changed how the students saw ordinary places: a short-lived puddle was not an unfinished pond but a habitat shaped by timing. Nature's clues had been present all along; careful measurement revealed what a quick look had missed.
