B When Maggie was a very young girl,she loved looking up at the stars in the sky,and she loved a British television stop-animation (series,The Clangers,about mousy-looking beings from another planet.It's debatable as to which fueled her dream of becoming a space scientist more,but one thing is for sure:the passion Maggie had for space inspired a career and helped her overcome her dyslexia(读写困难)， The now celebrated space scientist,mechanical engineer,and science communicator grew up bouncing from one area of the country to another,the child oftwo Nigerian immigrants.Diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of eight, Maggie faced enormous challenges in traditional learning environments.Dyslexia often made reading and writing difficult,and she was sometimes looked down upon by classmates. Despite these obstacles,her passion for science and space exploration shone through.Rather than focusing on the limitations dyslexia imposed,Maggie discovered its advantages:her brain was good at visualization and problem- solving,enabling her to think creatively and approach challenges from unique perspectives.Her journey to success wasn't easy.After overcoming early academic struggles,she went on to earn degrees in physics and mechanical engineering.Today,she is well known for her work in space science,including the development of satellites and instruments used to explore the universe.Her contributions to science are widely recognized,and she has become an inspiring role model for young people,particularly those facing learning difficulties. Her story is a powerful reminder that dyslexia is not a limitation but a different way of processing the world, one that can lead to extraordinary achievements.Maggie's life and career prove that facing what makes you different can turn challenges into strengths,inspiring others to see the potential in their own unique abilities. 24.What fact about Maggie is stated in the first paragraph? A.She naturally possessed outstanding gifts in space science from birth. B.Her learning disorder became a barrier on her way to realize her dream. C.Her strong fascination with space greatly boosted her professional path. D.The animated TV show was the major inspiration behind her childhood dream. 25.Which adjective best describes Maggie's early school life? A.Fascinating. B.Amusing. C.Delighting. D.Challenging. 26.What factor contributed most to Maggie's outstanding accomplishments? A.Wide recognition from society. B.Assistance from her family members. C.Support from her school peers.

This common feeling is what we call"time poverty",which describes a situation where people are buried in various tasks and do not have enough time to finish all that they need to do.Researchers have found that this feeling, which troubles so many people,depends more on how we feel inside than on the total amount of time that we own Studies show that it is not the shortage of time itself but frequent distractions,long to-do lists and the loss of control over our daily plans that worsen this feeling. To understand this better,researchers have tried to find an"optimalamount of free time.A research project that surveyed more than 35,000 Americans found that those who spent two to five hours every day on enjoyable activities felt the happiest.However,this desirable time is subjective.If people use their free time for hobbies or quality time with friends and family,we will never feel unsatisfied even when we have too much free time. A study in China with 100,000 people also got an interesting result.More than half of the people who said they felt time-poor actually had over 1.8 hours of free time each day.On the other hand,over one-third of those whose spare time was quite limited did not have such worries at all.The result clearly shows that there is a big difference between the time one has and how one feels about it.More research revealed that high time pressure and fragmented (time made people feel more time-poor.In contrast,feeling deeply involved in activities made them feel richer in time Reducing time poverty requires both individual and societal changes,researchers say.On an individual level, experts suggest doing a"daily audit".This means tracking your activities,how long they take,and how you feel afterward.This can help you understand how you spend your time,for example,on social media,and then make changes to use your time more wisely. 28.What can we learn about"time poverty"in Paragraph 2? A.It makes people unable to manage their time properly. B.It is chiefly people's inner feeling rather than real time shortage. C.It only appears when people are loaded with numerous tasks. D.It is closely connected with insufficient free time. 29.What does the underlined word"optimal"'most probably mean in Paragraph 3? A.Regular B.Extra. C.Ideal. D.Average. 30.Why does the author mention a study in China? A.To draw a sound conclusion. B.To provide solid evidence. C.To make reasonable comparisons. D.To raise a confusing question. 31.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A.Joint efforts from individuals and the whole society B.Detailed steps to finish a careful daily audit C.Smart skills to cut down wasted time online D.Practical solutions to relieve time poverty. D The transition from filling up at a petrol station to recharging your electric vehicle in the most convenient location for you,requires a whole new way of thinking about refueling a car.However,the new electric vehicle(EV) drivers often remain in their old mindset and get stuck constantly checking the gauge (and planning for the next charge point.This can lead drivers to feel anxious.But what if they are thinking about it all wrong? Researchers have now identified three different types of behavior around refueling a car,as described in a recently published paper: -The monitoring fuel gauge model the driver refuels when the fuel is running out. -The planning a trip model -the driver plans when and where they will stop to refuel their vehicle along a journey. -The event-driven model-e.g.,the driver automatically plugs in upon arriving home or at work. "Experienced electric vehicle users have chosen an event or location to trigger (their plug-in;for example, they will automatically plug in when they come home or get to work,so it becomes part of their morning or evening routine,which makes it less of a chore to think about charging.So,it is just the long trips that you need to plan for," says Professor Frances Sprei of Chalmers University of Technology,leading author of the paper. The best places to charge for a long time are either at home or at work,since people spend long periods of time there already."Policies need to ensure that people have access to charge points close to their home or workplace," says Sprei. For potential EV drivers,there is also the question of battery size to reduce range anxiety."We do see a trend, that you need to have this really large battery.But according to other research,you will make do with a slightly smaller battery than the range you would have on a gasoline tank,since the only time you would need a larger range is for a six-hour or longer journey,in which case the driver could charge on the go,"says Sprei. 32.What can be learned about new EV drivers? A.They are anxious about traffic jams. B.They need a shift in refueling habits. C.They are lazy about charging their vehicles. D.They are confused by different refueling options 33.How do experienced EV users typically manage charging according to Sprei? A.By avoiding charging during rush hours. B.By making use of public charging stations. C.By integrating charging into daily activities D.By scheduling charging when the fuel is low. 34.What does Sprei say about a smaller battery? A.It means a lower maintenance cost. B.It is sufficient for most driving needs. C.It reduces electric energy consumption D.It is often combined with a petrol engine. 35.What can be the best title for the passage? A.Better Mindset,Less Range Anxiety B.More Planning,Fewer Charging Challenges C.How EV Drivers Arrange for Long Trips D.Why EV Drivers Have Refueling Problems 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When raindrops fall to the ground in summer,a familiar scent always follows.Many people call this the"smell of rain".However,rain is made up of odorless water.So,where does this smell come from? 36 But it actually comes from wet soil.This special odor even has its own name:petrichor () which comes from a pair of chemical reactions. The pleasant smell has long been an interest of scientists since Australian scientists first documented the formation of petrichor in 1964.According to scientists,some plants produce oils during dry periods.37 Yet,it's the second reaction that creates the most petrichor.It occurs when chemicals produced by bacteria in soil are released.38 These bacteria break down and change into simple chemical compounds,providing nutrition for plants.Meanwhile the process also produces geosmin ()a compound with a distinct earthy aroma (香味) Lots of animals are sensitive to geosmin but human beings are extremely sensitive to it.When it rains after a long period of dryness,drops of water hit the ground.Geosmin is then released from the surfaces.39 And it finally gives raindrops their familiar scent.If it rains heavily enough,geosmin will be spread downwind,warning others of coming rain 40 And the next time someone mentions how much they love the smell of rain,you can prove your intelligence by explaining where that smell comes from A.And when it rains,these oils are released into the air. B.The smell of petrichor is quite pleasant to the human nose. C.There are a group of microorganisms widely found in soils. D.Rain can refresh the soil specially when it rains heavily E.Scientists found the distinctive smell doesn't come from rain. F.The pleasant smell always comes into being with the flow of air. G.It is further spread around its surroundings with the aid of wind and rain. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Even as a child,I always loved the feeling of achieving things.Every January Ist,I would dutifully sit down and write out my 41 for the upcoming year.I always picked 42 goals like:I will lose 50 pounds!
