B Shanya Gill, a middle schooler from San Jose, California, won the top award in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge (TFSJIC) for designing a fire detection system that is superior to existing ones, as stated in the press release. Shanya’s inspiration came after a fire destroyed a restaurant in her neighborhood during the summer of 2022, reported The Washington Post. “I had never really experienced something like that before,” she told The Washington Post about the early morning fire at Holder’s Country Inn, which started in the kitchen. “They had smoke detectors, and yet it still burned down,” she added. After she studied fire statistics, Shanya spent over a year developing a fire detection system that she believes could have prevented the fire. Unlike traditional smoke detectors that sense active fires from the smoke in the air, Shanya’s thermal imaging device is designed to stop fires from occurring. With a thermal camera and a Raspberry Pi, a tiny computer, the device detects when a heat source has been left unattended for ten minutes and sends a text message warning. Creating the prototype was difficult and the hardest part was the programming. “I had two designs, and my first design completely failed,” she said. The final device outperforms smoke detectors in speed and accuracy. Shanya wants to bring the costs down to make it even more common than hardwired smoke detectors. “Shanya saw a problem, went after it and tried to solve it, and that’s what we need to encourage in all young people,” said Maya Ajmera, president and CEO of Society for Science. She also highlighted the significance of supporting individuals, especially girls and kids of color, in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) fields, as research indicates that many young people drop out of these areas. 24. What motivated Shanya to develop her fire detection system? A. Her experience of a destructive fire. B. Her interest in computer programming. C. Her desire to win the science award. D. Her goal to improve STEM education for girls. 25. What is an advantage of Shanya’s invention? A. It consists of two parts that are easier to operate. B. It can send out a warning against a potential fire. C. It can detect active fires from the smoke in the air. D. It functions when a fire breaks out within 10 minutes. 26. What can we know about Shanya from the text? A. She is persistent and creative. B. Her device is cheaper than previous ones. C. Her invention is widely used now. D. She invented the device just for the award. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. A fire detection system is upgraded. B. A middle schooler shines in TFSJIC. C. The TFSJIC ends with glory and promise. D. Shanya Gill inspires the disadvantaged youth. C For years, employees have valued corner offices with expansive views, but is there real cognitive value in sitting by a window? A recent study analysing data from over 3,700 students taking China’s gaokao — a test that determines university admissions — offers convincing evidence. Students were randomly assigned to seats in standardized rooms. Those seated next to a window with an outside view scored 8.9% higher than peers in the middle of the room on average. Crucially, those next to a window with a blocked view showed no such benefit, ruling out simple explanations like lighting. The study’s authors attribute the effect to ART (Attention Restoration Theory). ART suggests that gazing at nature or open views can gently engage the brain’s “soft fascination”, allowing focused attention to recover from fatigue. During a demanding exam, a brief mental break to look outside may help students recharge. Supporting this, the effect was strongest among students who teachers had noted as having difficulty sustaining attention in class, and among male students who tend to struggle more with prolonged focus. The findings also dismiss several alternative explanations. Improved lighting and air flow are unlikely, as the window with a blocked view — offering similar light and air — produced no score gain. External noise, strictly controlled during exams, cannot account for the difference either. The effect is noteworthy: it rivals the impact of substantial financial motivation on student performance and outweighs some negative effects like temperature increases or air pollution documented in similar settings. This research carries practical implications for fairness in testing. Since seat assignments are often random, some students gain an unintentional advantage. Simple solutions, such as removing the window-seat column or changing seats across subjects, could level the playing field. The study also highlights the broader value of restorative environments, from classrooms to workplaces, where window views remain the most desired amenity (舒适配套) among North American employees. While the authors caution that distractions from window views may matter in low-risk settings, the message is clear: our built environment shapes our minds in subtle but significant ways. 28. The study finds that students ______. A. valued corner seats with outside views. B. could benefit from improved lighting. C. performed differently due to the position. D. were easily distracted by outside views. 29. According to ART, a window view helps students to ______. A. create a calming effect. B. restore their mental focus. C. finish the exam without fatigue. D. block out distracting noises. 30. What does the underlined word “rivals” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Increases. B. Reduces. C. Equals. D. Highlights. 31. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To discuss the limitations of the study. B. To propose ways to ensure fair test conditions. C. To suggest improvements in classroom design. D. To highlight the broader significance of the findings. D In a world first, China has approved a brain implant for commercial use in people with spinal cord (脊髓) injuries. The device is a brain-computer interface (脑机接口) made by Shanghai’s Neuracle Medical Technology, a competitor of Elon Musk’s BCI firm Neuralink. Brain implants have been used in clinical tests for decades, but this is the first time such a device has been approved for wide use on patients. BCIs, sometimes known as brain-machine interfaces, record brain activity. Invasive BCIs like Neuracle’s are surgically implanted in or on the brain to record electrical signals from nerve cells. Software decodes these signals to control a computer mouse or an artificial arm. One of the first BCIs was created in the early 2000s by a research group BrainGate. Neuracle’s BCI, a coin-sized wireless implant on the brain’s outer membrane (膜), is designed for people with spinal cord injuries who still have some upper arm function. While most BCIs are generally developed to assist people with paralysis (瘫痪) or other physical disabilities, Musk’s Neuralink envisions a future where such devices can also benefit healthy individuals, an ambitious goal that still lies far in the future. In the US, Neuralink has come the closest to commercializing this technology, but questions about the device’s safety remain. In 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially rejected a bid for Neuralink to test its technology in a clinical trial. A trial was eventually approved the following year, and Noland Arbaugh, who was paralyzed below the neck, became the first user to have a Neuralink implant. As of January 2026, the company said it had 21 participants enrolled in its trial. Many other American start-up companies, such as Synchron, are developing their own BCIs and are also running ongoing trials. While there is convincing evidence from these clinical tests, the devices are still considered experimental. Installing brain implants requires brain surgery, after all, which is highly invasive and carries a risk of infection. And the implants can sometimes move or cause scar tissue buildup over time that degrades their signals. No BCI devices have been approved for commercial use in the U. S. so far. 32. What’s special about Neuracle’s BCI? A. It controls an artificial arm. B. It first applies to healthy people. C. It receives approval for commercial use. D. It’s the world’s earliest BCI product. 33. How does the implanted BCI work? A. By recording the brain signals. B. By controlling a robotic glove. C. By stimulating the nerve cells. D. By recovering upper arm ability. 34. Why does the author mention Synchron in paragraph 4? A. To explain the US companies take the lead. B. To show BCIs are seeing rapid development. C. To advertise for the newly-founded enterprise. D. To prove Neuralink has a powerful competitor. 35. Which of the following statements best describes BCIs according to the text? A. Useful but not acceptable. B. Invasive but highly reliable. C. Dangerous but worth trying. D. Technically progressive but risky. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Illeism: The Ancient Trick to Help You Think More Wisely As a writer specialising in psychology, I’ve come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful to me as the ancient mental skill of illeism. Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person rather than the first person. 36 In the statesman Julius Caesar’s account of the Gallic War, for example, he wrote “Caesar defended the public” rather than “I defended the public”. To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or self-important. 37 If we are trying to make a difficult decision, viewing ourselves in the third person can help to reduce the emotions that could lead our thinking off track, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem. 38 When making personal choices, we become too caught up in our strong feelings, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective. If we have received negative feedback from a colleague, for example, our feeling of embarrassment might lead us to become overly self-defensive. By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves. 39 Besides helping us view troubles more objectively, illeism can also encourage us to keep a calm mind when facing daily stresses. Next time you face a challenging situation, try referring to yourself as “he” or “she” instead of “I”. 40 A. Politicians often use this method. B. This creates helpful distance from emotions. C. So why do emotions affect our decisions so much? D. Yet research shows illeism brings real thinking benefits. E. However, lack of objectivity can be problematic when choosing. F. But how can we get rid of these bad feelings in decision-making? G. You might be surprised at how much clearer your thinking becomes. 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。 Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living.

At the meeting, the Changshan Islands Migratory Bird Habitat in Dalian, Liaoning Province 56 (approve) to be included as an extension to the World Natural Heritage site of the Yellow and Bohai Gulf Migratory Bird Habitats. Located in the northern Yellow Sea, the Changshan Islands serve as a vital energy station on 57 millions of migratory birds rely during their annual long-distance journey. However, coastal development 58 (cause) severe loss of suitable habitats on these islands in the past few years. Living difficulties 59 (arise) from habitat loss make birds search desperately 60 food and shelter. Accordingly, many scientists expressed 61 (anticipate) that the islands would fill a long-standing gap of temperate rocky island heritage sites within China’s conservation network. With four isolated core island reef zones 62 (include), the newly-added heritage area boasts rich coastal and island habitats, providing birds shelter from freezing winds and highlighting the value of coastal protection. Local authorities promise strict and practical 63 (measure) to protect the fragile ecosystem and maintain long-term ecological balance. Volunteers are 64 (urgent) called on to raise public awareness of wildlife protection. With all the efforts, it is believed that the islands will remain a safe home for migratory birds and offer people 65 unique chance to appreciate coastal biodiversity. 第四部分 写作（满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，上周你参加了学校举办的急救科普主题活动，请你给英国朋友Michael写一封邮件，分享此次经历。 内容包括：1．活动主要内容；2．你的感受。 参考词汇：first-aid outreach activity (急救科普活动) CPR (心肺复苏) 注意：（1）写作词数应为80个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Michael, I hope this e-mail finds you well! _____________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ … Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Ezri and Oliver were so keen to climb the mountain that they begged to join their dad Brandon for another hike. Just after 8 a.m. on a beautiful Sunday morning, they set off. Brandon’s backpack held Clif bars (能量棒), packets of apple sauce, apples, water bottles and fishing gear. Brandon had planned a varied route up the mountain. The winding upward slope was fun and uneventful. Near the top, thick snow blanketed the path. Excitedly, the kids raced across the hard surface. They shared the second-last Clif bar and rested for an hour. Brandon looked around. His phone showed 1:30 p.m. and no signals. When the kids started down, Brandon said, “You guys really want to find those fishing lakes, don’t you?”. “Oh, yes!” Ezri said. So they took an unfamiliar route down the other side of the mountain. By the time Brandon realized the path had become an animal trail alongside a stream, it made sense to keep following it. The stream sang to them, and they kept following it down. Mid-afternoon, when the sun disappeared behind heavy gray clouds, they suddenly felt lost, cold and hungry. For half an hour they cautiously moved downward until they reached a steep cliff (悬崖) edge. The stream became a noisy, six-metre waterfall. Mist enveloped them as the water raced over a huge rock. Brandon cursed (咒骂) himself for taking an unknown route. They held hands and inched down until Oliver slid on a loose rock and all three went flying. Brandon wiped blood from his forehead and gathered his senses. Was anyone hurt? Oliver, crying and shivering, seemed okay. Ezri was weeping, but she too appeared uninjured. Brandon himself didn’t feel anything worse than the wound on his forehead. The backpack was stuck in the rocks six meters away. He saw no use trying to find it back. The air was cold and getting colder. They were wet and tired. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To save the kids, Brandon realized he had to look for a way out alone. After nearly an hour of desperate attempts, Brandon finally picked up a faint cell-phone signal. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
