Senior student Kate Casey designed a feeding toy for giraffes.She made a large container with many holes arranged in a giraffe pattern.The container has two levels,which forces the giraffes to stretch their tongues and exercise their mouth muscles for a longer time.This mimics their natural search for leaves on thorny trees,turning feeding into a fun and healthy challenge.Another student,Audrey Lendvay,created enrichment toys for birds that made them more active and playful. When the students brought their toys to the zoo,they watched the animals interact under staff supervision ()The staff were deeply impressed by the students'work.Senior bird keeper Danielle Minkus said the creativity and quality went far beyond her expectations.Animal well-being officer Alexis Hart added that helping animals live their best life is everyone's goal. "Projects like this show how creative thinking and hands-on learning can connect people and institutions in ways that make a real difference,"Duarte said."It's about building bridges-between art and science, students and professionals,and the university and the broader community."The project also opened students' eyes to new career paths they had never considered before.Kate Casey said she never knew such jobs existed in animal enrichment and interdisciplinary(G跨学科的)design. 24.What was the goal of the students'project? A.Staff training. B.Material testing. C.Animal welfare. D.Career exploration. 25.How did Kate Casey's toy benefit the giraffes? A.It increased their food intake. B.It sped up their feeding. C.It protected them from thorns. D.It stretched their tongues. 26.What does the underlined word"mimics"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Replaces. B.Copies C.Improves D.Discovers. 27.What is the main message of the last paragraph? A.The value of connecting different fields. B.The difficulty of designing toys for animals. C.The importance of hands-on student projects. D.The need for more zoo-based art programmes. Whether you prefer WeChat,Twitter,or Facebook,your social media profile is sending a silent message about who you are.While these platforms are great for connecting,it is easy to accidentally come across as conceited ()angry,or shallow.Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world. Take selfies (for example.It is perfectly appropriate to have a picture of yourself as your profile photo.However,if almost every picture you post is just of you looking pretty,you are likely to leave the impression that you are full of yourself.Psychologist Sarah Schewitz points out that there is much more to a person than just a pretty face,and users should show other meaningful aspects of their lives. Furthermore,your online tone matters.Some people use social media to complain about their daily struggles or engage in angry debates.Constantly posting negative thoughts tells the world that you are not a happy person.Instead of adding negativity to the internet,it is highly recommended to focus on the positive 襄阳四中2027届高三年级8月质量检测英语试题第4页（共8页)07 sides of life.On the other hand,painting an unrealistically perfect picture of your life can also be problematic Many people only post their amazing achievements,making their lives seem perfect.This often makes friends feel stressed.Psy chologists remind us that every one faces challenges,and sharing the reality of life,rather than just the highlights,makes you more relatable. If you want to make sure your posts reflect who you are,a good guideline,according to Schewitz,is to take a breath before clicking."Before posting something,ask yourself:Is this going to add positivity to the world or take away from it?If the answer is the latter,don't post it.There's enough negativity out there without you sharing about how terrible your day was.If you need support,call a friend,don't subject the whole world to your complaints,"Schewitz suggests. 28.What does the author point out in paragraph 1? A.Social content is shallow. B.Users hide their true characters. C.Chats bring misunderstanding. D.Online acts reflect inner qualities. 29.What can be inferred about the perfect selfies on platforms? A.They build your confidence. B.They create a self-centered image. C.They make you better understood. D.They illustrate your meaningful sides. 30.What does the author suggest about posting on social media? A.Express your emotions freely. B.Show positivity along with real life. C.Keep your personal life private. D.Avoid sharing achievements with friends. 31.What is the best title of the text? A.What You Post Says About You B.The Secret of Taking Perfect Selfies C.How to Hide Your True Self Online D.Mind Your Manners on Social Media D Rain sounds melt our stress and put us to sleep,but for rice plants,the pitter-patter of raindrops is more like a morning alarm.As water falls onto soil or water,the vibrations are far stronger underground than on the surface.New research suggests plants take advantage of this wake-up call. Published in Scientific Reports,the latest research proves rain sounds can make rice seeds germinate faster than usual.This provides the first direct confirmation that plants can sense surrounding sound signals and make active responses. Previous studies have suggested plants may possess the ability to think,see and hear.However,there's no fact-based evidence for the direct cause-and-effect link between environmental changes and plants'real-time responses.This new study successfully fills the gap."The seeds can sense sound in ways that can help them survive,"said Nicholas Makris,author of the study. In their experiment,the researchers wanted to make sure the seeds were responding to the sound of rain and not to its water.Given that rice is usually grown in water,they chose to focus on rice seeds.They put 8,000 rice seeds in shallow water.One group was kept in total quietness,while the other was exposed to light, moderate and heavy raindrops to copy natural rainfall.The results showed that the latter group germinated 30 to 40 percent faster than those in silence. In plants,cellular structures called statoliths are responsible for external sensing.They shift and settle at the bottom of plant cells,helping the organisms detect changes in their position and stability and tell germinating seeds in which direction to grow their roots.Makris and his team theorized rain sounds underwater might produce large enough vibrations to move the statoliths and possibly stimulate germination in rice seeds. The team hopes to further investigate whether other environmental cues,such as wind,could be sensed by plants in similar ways. 襄阳四中2027届高三年级8月质量检测英语试题第5页（共8页)07 32.How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?

One ten-year-old boy,faced with an especially difficult problem,pulled his chair closer to the table,eyes widened,and announced brightly,"I love a challenge!"Another child,sweating from hard work,looked up calmly and said,“37_” I was shocked.To me,failure was something to fear or avoid.Yet here were children who seemed to welcome it.Were they different from everyone else-or did they possess a secret I had never learned? Those children became my unexpected teachers.38 They believed that abilities could be grown through effort and that each struggle was not a mark of failure,but a step toward getting smarter.For them, there was no such thing as failure-only learning. 39 I thought talent was carved in stone,and that mistakes revealed your limits.But these young students showed me a different truth that our greatest growth often comes from our hardest challenges. That day changed everything.I began studying the "growth mindset'-the belief that abilities can be developed through effort and resilience.40 Those children showed me that true education builds character,and that persistence through difficulty is the real foundation of a meaningful life. A.This is difficult,but informative. B.I guess I was never meant to be good at this. C.In their eyes,I saw not defeat,but discovery D.They solved each puzzle without any difficulty. E.I,on the other hand,had lived with a fixed mindset. F.But soon I gave them challenges far beyond their age. G.Failures do not define us:how we rise from them does. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 襄阳四中2027届高三年级8月质量检测英语试题第6页（共8页）07 We had long dreamed of going to the Caribbean,but couldn't afford it.41,a friend mentioned "pet sitting".This could provide us the chance to 42 the destination while looking after pets whose owners are away from home.We quickly created an account,sent a request and 43 a three-month sit in the Virgin Islands.Having thoroughly toured the whole area,we secured another sit in Grenada.

I thought that we would just be passing out dinners to those in need,but I found out we would be doing everything from preparing to serving the dinner.We began preparing the food,from mixing salad dressing to separating frozen meat.Much still needed to be done before dinner was served,but already outside the building many homeless people were gathering.It wasn't until a couple of hours later that we opened the doors and began serving dinner. As the line of people came toward me,I got a little scared.I'd come face to face with the homeless:How should I act?How would they treat me?Would they hate me for having more than they did?While some of the people looked very friendly,some of them looked so dangerous.I didn't have too much time to worry about it. I was assigned to serve the salad with the lady next to me.She smiled at me and said if I needed help,she'd be right there,which I found quite comforting. I had never seen so many people wanting food.They were of all ages and nationalities.Most of them wore clothes that were torn and dirty.Some looked like they had totally given up on life,while others seemed to be making the best of the situation,smiling and joking.Some were better off than others,but they all needed a good meal and a warm place to eat.It saddened me to think of how many people there were who didn't have a place to call home and the only food they got came from a soup kitchen. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As they came in ny direction,I put on ny brightest and happiest smile.
