二、阅读理解(每小题5分,共35分)
A
Unlike what you may imagine, taking good care of a plant can be difficult, especially when it comes to how to water a plant. Many people are not sure how often or how much they need to water their plants. Even some farmers may have the same problem. Luckily, a new technology called GrowStream can help them "talk" to their plants.
GrowStream is a watering system. Its tubes(管子)have special tiny holes in them. When plants need water, they will release(释放)chemicals(化学物质)through their roots. When the holes detect(察觉)these chemicals, they will open. The plants then get water from these holes. As the plants "drink" enough water, they stop releasing these chemicals. And that "tells" the holes to close back up and stop watering.
This system can help save 45 to 50 percent more water than common watering systems. It was created by a company called RDI. The company has brought the GrowStream system to many farms in South Africa. It is also testing the system in the US. It will be used to make the city greener while saving more water.
"GrowStream is more than just a technology," said Jan Gould, CEO of RDI. "We want it to 'talk' to people, too. It says two things: The earth's natural resources(资源)are not so much, and we should take better care of the planet through new technology."
( ) 11. Why is it difficult to water a plant?
A. Plants need too much water.
B. It is hard to discover whether the plant needs water.
C. Watering a plant takes too much time.
D. Some farmers don't teach you how to water a plant.
( ) 12. 特色考法·代词指代题 What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Plants. B. Holes. C. Chemicals. D. Tubes.
( ) 13. What does Jan Gould mean by saying the words?
A. The earth is heavily polluted.
B. People can talk with GrowStream.
C. We have to find more natural resources.
D. New technology can help save natural resources.

Fish babies in space? In a space study on zebrafish, Chinese scientists have set a new record. They successfully got four zebrafish to live and grow in a closed water world.
The zebrafish went to China's space station on the Shenzhou XVIII spaceship on April 25, 2024. The spaceship carried not only the fish but also other scientific tools for space research. All the fish were very healthy when they arrived at the station. The tank(缸)was small but well-designed to meet the fish's basic needs. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish tank with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days.
In their special closed environment, the plants made air for the fish, and the fish's waste gave the plants food. The plants were small green ones that could grow well in the tank. The closed system needed no extra air from outside the space station. This made the system very easy to take care of in space. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle(针头).
Such a closed-loop ecosystem(封闭生态系统)is important for future studies in space. It can help us learn how to live in space for a long time. We may even build similar systems in future space homes. This will make space travel much easier and safer. It means that plants and animals can live in space more simply and easily.
The scientists also found that the zebrafish acted differently than on Earth. For example, they often swam on their back. The low gravity(重力)in space is a big reason. On Earth, gravity pulls everything to Earth's center, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger.
Humans and zebrafish share 70 percent of the same genes. So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health.

Shadow puppetry(皮影戏), an ancient form of storytelling, has been listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. It uses leather puppets to create shadows on a screen while telling stories, often with music.
In the past, shadow puppetry was very popular in rural China. During festivals or harvest seasons, villagers would gather to watch performances. The stories were often about historical events, folk tales, or legends. It was not just entertainment; it was a way to pass on culture and values.
However, with the rise of modern entertainment like television and the Internet, shadow puppetry has faced challenges. Fewer young people are interested in learning this skill, and many master puppeteers are aging.
To save this art, the government and artists are taking action. Wang Bianjiang, a 70-year-old master, has opened a training school in Shaanxi. "I want to pass on this skill to the younger generation," he says. He has trained over 100 students in the past five years. Moreover, modern technology is being used. Some artists create digital shadow puppets and share short videos online, attracting millions of views.
Shadow puppetry is more than just a show; it is a living history book. By protecting it, we are protecting our cultural roots.

Is it better to study late at night or get up early in the morning? Many students have argued about this. Recent studies show that the answer depends on your "chronotype(睡眠类型)"—whether you are a "lark(百灵鸟)" (early riser) or an "owl(猫头鹰)" (night person).
Larks feel most energetic in the morning. Their brains work best between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. For them, studying in the morning is highly efficient. They can focus better and remember information faster. However, as the day goes on, their energy drops. By 9 p.m., they may feel too tired to study effectively.
Owls, on the other hand, are slow starters. They may struggle to get up in the morning and feel sleepy until noon. But their energy peaks in the evening. From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., their concentration is at its best. Many famous writers and scientists, like Winston Churchill, were owls who did their best work at night.
However, experts warn that night studying should not cut into sleep time. Lack of sleep can harm memory and health. Dr. Li, a sleep expert, suggests, "Find your own rhythm. If you are a lark, don't force yourself to study at midnight. If you are an owl, don't get up at 5 a.m. to study. Quality sleep is the foundation of good learning."
Schools are starting to consider this. Some schools in Denmark have introduced flexible schedules, allowing students to choose their start times based on their chronotypes. This has led to better grades and happier students.
( ) 23. What determines whether one studies better in the morning or at night?
A. Personal habit.
B. School schedule.
C. Chronotype.
D. Health condition.
( ) 24. 特色考法·细节理解 According to the text, when do "owls" perform best in studying?
A. 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
B. 12 p.m. - 3 p.m.
C. 7 p.m. - 11 p.m.
D. 11 p.m. - 2 a.m.
( ) 25. 特色考法·推理判断 What can we infer about Winston Churchill?
A. He was a famous teacher.
B. He preferred studying at night.
C. He slept early and got up late.
D. He disliked flexible schedules.
( ) 26. 特色考法·观点态度 What is Dr. Li's attitude towards night studying?
A. Supportive if it suits one's rhythm.
B. Against it because it causes tiredness.
C. Doubtful about its effectiveness.
D. Unclear about its influence.
( ) 27. 特色考法·主旨大意 What is the main idea of the text?
A. How to become an early riser.
B. The importance of quality sleep.
C. Studying efficiency depends on your body clock.
D. Why schools should change their schedules.

Is there another planet like Earth in the universe? How did the universe and life begin? To answer these big questions, China will send satellites(卫星)into space. 28______
The first job is called the Hongmeng Program. It uses about 10 satellites together. They will fly to the side of the moon we never see from Earth. That area is very quiet. 29______ Think of the universe as a little kid growing up. These satellites will help us find out what the universe was like when it was just a baby.
Next is Kuafu-2. It is very famous. It will be the first satellite in the world to fly around the top and bottom of the sun. 30______ This will help scientists learn more about what happens on the sun and how it influences our Earth.
The third job is a satellite that looks for other planets. It works like a detective(侦探), trying to find a second place for humans to live in space.
31______ It will fly above the layer(层)of air around Earth. It will look at parts of space no one has studied before—like areas near black holes, where time and space are bent(扭曲的). There, it will do science tests that can't be done on Earth.
China's space program is working hard to learn about things we don't know yet. These space tasks will not only help answer important science questions, but also build a base for humans' future activities in space.

四、阅读表达
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made a great invention—the telephone. For the first time in history, people could talk to someone far away just like they were in the same room. But today, phones can do much more than just make calls!
The story of mobile phones began with two-way radios. These early devices(设备)had a big problem—they only worked when people were close to each other. In the 1940s, smart scientists found a way. They built tall radio towers across the country to pass signals(信号)easily.
Everything changed in 1973 when Dr. Martin Cooper made the first real mobile phone call. During the 1980s, mobile phones became smaller but were still very expensive. Only rich business people could afford them, and the phones looked like big plastic bricks.
The 1990s brought another big change. Phones became cheaper and smaller, fitting easily in pockets. Soon, almost everyone had one. Text messaging became popular. People started writing short messages instead of making phone calls. Meeting time became more flexible(灵活的)because you could just text "I'll be 15 minutes late."
Now we have smartphones—like powerful mini-computers in our pockets. We use them to take photos, watch videos, play games, and even help with housework! Messaging apps let us send videos and long messages easily. While phones help us stay connected, some people worry that we spend too much time on them.
Looking back, it's amazing how phones have changed. From Bell's simple telephone to today's smartphones, this has truly changed our lives. What will phones be able to do next? Only time will tell!
33. When did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone?

Should Students Look Up Answers Online?
Nowadays, looking up answers online is quite popular. In my opinion, it is a helpful learning tool if we use it wisely.
First, it helps us understand difficult problems. When I meet a math problem that I can't solve after thinking hard, looking up the explanation online can open up a new way of thinking. Second, it saves time and makes learning more efficient. Instead of waiting for the teacher to answer my question, I can get the answer immediately and continue my study.
Moreover, it allows us to learn at our own pace. We can review the knowledge points we are weak in as many times as we need. However, we must be careful not to rely on it too much. We should always try to solve problems by ourselves first. Only by balancing online help and independent thinking can we truly improve our learning ability.
