Armed with heavy gardening tools, I approached the mess last Saturday, determined to restore order. My ten-year-old daughter, Chloe, followed, holding a small wooden bucket. To me, the task was straightforward: cut down every unwanted ivy until the fence was spotless. Seeing me attack the greenery, Chloe suddenly grabbed my arm. “Wait, Dad! Look at the lower corner,” she whispered, her voice tight with urgency. I paused, slightly annoyed by the interruption, but followed her finger. Hidden beneath the thick, green chaos was a tiny bird’s nest, cleverly sheltered by the very ivy I was trying to destroy. Chloe gently brushed aside a leafy branch, revealing three pale blue eggs resting safely inside a bed of dry grass. “If we clear it all, they won’t have a home,” she said softly. I stood there with my tools suspended in mid-air, a wave of discomfort washing over me. In my pursuit of neatness and control, I had treated the garden purely as a problem to be solved, completely blind to the life growing in its imperfect corners. Instead of shaving the fence clean, Chloe and I spent the afternoon carefully working around the delicate spot, trimming (修剪) only the overgrown edges and leaving a thick green pocket untouched. The result wasn’t the picture-perfect yard I had originally envisioned. Yet, as a pair of anxious sparrows (麻雀) returned to the untouched greenery later that evening, bringing food to their home, the slightly untidy fence suddenly looked far more harmonious than any neatly trimmed lawn. We often mistake absolute perfection for beauty. Perhaps true care isn’t about bending everything to our will, but about learning when to put down the tools and let nature take its own course. 4. What was the author’s initial goal in the garden? A. To plant new flowers. B. To clear away the ivy. C. To build a bird shelter. D. To teach gardening skills. 5. What made the author suspend his work? A. Chloe’s unexpected discovery of a nest. B. His realization of being injured by tools. C. The sudden appearance of two sparrows. D. Chloe’s refusal to hold the wooden bucket. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Brave and independent. B. Generous and energetic. C. Reflective and considerate. D. Humorous and adventurous. 7. What lesson does the author learn from this experience? A. Tools determine work efficiency. B. Children know best about nature. C. Absolute control creates disorder. D. Imperfection leaves room for life. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】作者本想清除花园常春藤，因女儿发现鸟巢改变做法，感悟到真正的美并非绝对完美，应顺应自然，给生命留出空间。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“To me, the task was straightforward: cut down every unwanted ivy until the fence was spotless.(对我来说，任务很简单：砍掉所有多余的常春藤，直到围栏一尘不染。)”可知，作者最初的目标是清除常春藤。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Hidden beneath the thick, green chaos was a tiny bird’s nest, cleverly sheltered by the very ivy I was trying to destroy.(在茂密杂乱的绿植下藏着一个小小的鸟巢，正是我打算除掉的这片常春藤巧妙地庇护着它。)”以及第三段“I stood there with my tools suspended in mid‑air, a wave of discomfort washing over me.(我站在那里，工具悬在半空中，一阵不安涌上心头。)”可知，Chloe意外发现鸟巢，让作者停下了手上的活。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In my pursuit of neatness and control, I had treated the garden purely as a problem to be solved, completely blind to the life growing in its imperfect corners.(在追求整洁与掌控的过程中，我只把花园当成一个待解决的难题，完全忽视了生长在那些不完美角落里的生命。)”以及第四段“Instead of shaving the fence clean, Chloe and I spent the afternoon carefully working around the delicate spot, trimming (修剪) only the overgrown edges and leaving a thick green pocket untouched.(Chloe和我没有把篱笆修剪得光秃秃的，而是花了一下午的时间小心翼翼地绕开那处脆弱的地方，只修剪疯长的边缘，保留了一小块茂密的绿地不予触碰。)”可知，作者能够反思自己的想法，并且体谅生灵，是善于反思且体贴的。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We often mistake absolute perfection for beauty. Perhaps true care isn’t about bending everything to our will, but about learning when to put down the tools and let nature take its own course.(我们常常把绝对的完美错当成美。也许真正的关怀不是让万物顺从我们的意愿，而是学会适时放下工具，让大自然顺其自然。)”可知，作者感悟到不完美才给生命留有生存空间。 C Not getting enough sleep can cause all manner of health issues. A new study published in Nature finds a U-shaped relationship between how long people sleep and markers of biological ageing. Those who got between 6.4 and 7.8 hours of shut-eye a night seemed to experience slower ageing in both brain and body than those who slept either more or less. Sleep trackers promise to help people hit this sweet spot. Apps typically record movement and sound, sometimes inferring breathing rates from the audio. Smartwatches record movement and measure blood flow by shining low-intensity light onto the skin and detecting how much reflects back. This is used to estimate heart and breathing rates. Most trackers are very good at distinguishing sleep from being awake. Several studies have compared them to polysomnography, which uses electrodes (电极) to record eye movements, brain activity, muscle tone and heart rate, and is the gold standard for measuring sleep. One paper published in Sensors in 2024 tested three popular wearable trackers and found that all aligned with polysomnography around 95% of the time in telling sleep from wakefulness across the night. When it comes to identifying different sleep stages, however, trackers are less accurate. A good night requires cycling between rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. Wearables align with polysomnography on sleep-stage classification only 50 — 80% of the time. Nevertheless, many devices still include these unreliable metrics in their calculation of sleep scores. Despite these shortcomings, Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist, says they give people a more objective sense of how long they sleep and help improve sleep habits. Over half of tracker users reported changing their behavior after learning from the data. Too much data can have downsides, though. Putting more thought and effort into sleeping can backfire. Up to 30% of users report feeling anxious about the data they collect. Concern about poor sleep itself can make it harder to sleep. But sleep data is not worth losing sleep over. Whether you wake up feeling rested remains the best indicator of how good your night was. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By presenting a study focused on sleep trackers. B. By citing research that suggests an ideal sleep range. C. By listing various illnesses caused by lack of sleep. D. By analyzing the medical causes of biological ageing. 9. What does the underlined word “aligned” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Integrated. B. Interacted. C. Collaborated. D. Corresponded. 10. What is Rebecca Robbins’ attitude towards sleep trackers? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Dismissive. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Sleep Trackers: Helpful Tools with Certain Limits B. Sleep Trackers: A New Solution to Sleep Problems C. Better Sleep: How Technology Changes Our Habits D. Sleep Data: The Key to Understanding Human Health 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍睡眠追踪器有利也有弊，虽能记录睡眠，但睡眠阶段识别不够精准。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A new study published in Nature finds a U‑shaped relationship between how long people sleep and markers of biological ageing. Those who got between 6.4 and 7.8 hours of shut‑eye a night seemed to experience slower ageing in both brain and body than those who slept either more or less. (《自然》发表的一项新研究发现，睡眠时间与生物衰老指标呈U型关系。每晚睡眠6.4‑7.8小时的人大脑和身体衰老速度比睡得过多或过少的人更慢)”可知，作者开篇引用研究，提出理想的睡眠时长范围，以此引出下文睡眠追踪器这一话题。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Most trackers are very good at distinguishing sleep from being awake. Several studies have compared them to polysomnography, which uses electrodes (电极) to record eye movements, brain activity, muscle tone and heart rate, and is the gold standard for measuring sleep. One paper published in Sensors in 2024 tested three popular wearable trackers and found that all aligned with polysomnography around 95% of the time in telling sleep from wakefulness across the night. (大多数追踪器很擅长区分睡眠与清醒。多项研究将它们与多导睡眠监测对比，该监测使用电极记录眼球运动、大脑活动、肌肉张力和心率，是测量睡眠的黄金标准。2024年《传感器》的一篇论文测试三款热门可穿戴设备，发现整夜区分睡眠和清醒状态时，它们与多导睡眠监测在约95%的时间里保持aligned)”可知，多导睡眠监测是黄金标准，此处表达设备检测结果和黄金标准结果相吻合，所以aligned表示“与……一致”，与Corresponded意义相近。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Despite these shortcomings, Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist, says they give people a more objective sense of how long they sleep and help improve sleep habits. Over half of tracker users reported changing their behavior after learning from the data. (尽管存在这些缺陷，睡眠科学家Rebecca Robbins表示，它们让人们更客观了解自己的睡眠时间，有助于改善睡眠习惯。超半数使用者表示看过数据后改变了自身行为)”可知，睡眠科学家Rebecca Robbins肯定其积极作用，态度是赞成的。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章先引出理想睡眠时长，介绍睡眠追踪器工作原理，点明它区分睡眠清醒准确度高，但识别睡眠阶段误差大，虽有不足但可以帮助人们改善睡眠习惯，同时也存在带来焦虑的弊端。所以文章主要讲睡眠追踪器：有帮助但也存在局限。Sleep Trackers: Helpful Tools with Certain Limits (睡眠追踪器：有利亦有局限的工具) 贴合主旨，适合作为文章标题。 D Record-breaking heat and humidity (湿度) are already upon us at the start of an extremely hot summer. Our cities, with blacktop surfaces, polluting vehicles, and heat-trapping buildings, feel these temperatures the most. These high temperatures radiate sharply in contrast to surrounding suburbs on a thermal satellite map, earning the phenomenon its name: the Heat Island Effect. The Heat Island Effect can be a helpful reference point, scientists say. It raises awareness about urban heat, but experts say the phenomenon can put too much emphasis on ground temperature, rather than the ways those temperatures affect people. High temperatures have been linked to severe health issues. Scientists and architects have begun to search for protections. What’s emerged is a combination of green spaces, architectural innovations, and technological advancement that might help cities find relief. These efforts require precision or they can backfire. No two cities are the same, and their reasons for absorbing heat are also not the same. Heat poses different problems for different cities: for some it’s a long-term condition, while in others it’s a severe disaster. Adopting the wrong strategies can be wasteful and even harmful. Sydney and Dubai overheat because they are close to the desert. In these contexts, reflective surfaces can block solar radiation, lowering temperatures. By contrast, Athens’s heat comes from its dense (密集的) planning and the blockage of airflow. In Athens the priority is ventilation (通风): cooling rooftops with greenery and reflective materials. That pulls heavier, denser air down into the streets, drawing sea winds through the city and sweeping the heat out. Another way to cool down a city is to introduce plants. Medellin, Colombia, invested millions of dollars in “green passages” to fight the heat island effect. As of 2023, Medellin has lowered its average urban temperature by 2°C. Considering the species of tree before planting is vital, testing if it can withstand the climate and where its shade would be most effective. For example, a tree planted in a parking lot is much less valuable than one planted in a playground. 12. What is a hidden weakness of the Heat Island Effect concept? A. It lacks clear satellite evidence. B. It ignores heat’s harm to humans. C. It fails to explain suburban cooling. D. It overlooks urban building structures. 13. Why do cooling solutions differ greatly among cities according to the text? A. They face different natural disasters. B. Their technical budgets are unequal. C. Their local heat sources vary widely. D. Their green coverage differs sharply. 14. What can be inferred about tree planting from the last paragraph? A. Larger trees provide better cooling. B. Parking lots require more native trees. C. Green spaces may replace other methods. D. Location and species determine its success. 15. What is the main message the author wants to convey? A. Urban heat island effect is worsening globally. B. Green spaces are the ultimate way to cool cities. C. Addressing city heat demands customized solutions. D. Ground temperatures reflect real risks to human health. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述城市热岛效应，指出缓解城市高温需因地制宜采取对策。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Heat Island Effect can be a helpful reference point, scientists say. It raises awareness about urban heat, but experts say the phenomenon can put too much emphasis on ground temperature, rather than the ways those temperatures affect people. (科学家们说，热岛效应可以作为一个有用的参考点。它提高了人们对城市高温的认识，但专家称，这一现象过于看重地表温度，却忽视了高温对人产生影响的种种方式)”可知，热岛效应概念的隐性缺陷是它忽视了高温对人类的危害。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“No two cities are the same, and their reasons for absorbing heat are also not the same. (没有两座城市是完全相同的，它们吸收热量的原因也各不相同)”可知，不同城市的降温方案差异巨大，是因为各地的本地热源不同。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Considering the species of tree before planting is vital, testing if it can withstand the climate and where its shade would be most effective. For example, a tree planted in a parking lot is much less valuable than one planted in a playground. (植树前考量树种至关重要，要检验该树种能否耐受当地气候，以及树荫在何处能发挥最大效用。例如，栽种在停车场的树木，其作用远不如种在运动场上的树木)”可知，树种选择和种植位置决定了植树降温的效果。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段中“Heat poses different problems for different cities: for some it’s a long-term condition, while in others it’s a severe disaster. Adopting the wrong strategies can be wasteful and even harmful. (高温给不同城市带来的问题各不相同：对部分城市而言高温是长期状况，而对另一些城市则属于严重灾害。采取错误的应对策略不仅会造成浪费，甚至还会带来危害)”以及下文不同城市的不同降温案例可知，作者想要传递的核心观点是：应对城市高温需要定制化的解决方案。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 I think a lot about productivity. I rarely feel productive. I don’t think I’m alone. Our culture is full of all kinds of ideas about how to get the most done. ____16____ Bosses think open offices are for increasing communication. Here are three common productivity myths, alongside studies that help us see what the research says. Multitasking gets things done faster than focusing on one thing at a time. Right? Research suggests not. Every time you switch from one task to another there is a slight time cost. Although switch costs may be relatively small, they can add up to large amounts when people switch repeatedly. Multitasking may seem efficient on the surface but may actually take more time in the end and involve more error. ____17____ There is always a cost to switching. Open office layouts are great for company culture. ____18____ The problem: research suggests the opposite is true. Researchers directly studied the transition to an open office plan and found face-to-face interaction actually declined by around 70 percent. It turns out that open office structures will cause a natural psychological reaction in humans, who tend to keep social distance from nearby coworkers and choose to communicate via emails instead. Your manager probably insists group brainstorming is a proven way to come up with ideas. Except … it isn’t. Studies have indicated that students could work out tough problems much better when they were left to think independently rather than when they took part in group discussions. The participation of multiple people greatly restricts individual creative thinking. ____19____ A study shows that brainstorming over video conferencing is less effective than in person. In short, brainstorming in a group — whether online or offline — is much less productive than individual thinking. ____20____ Blindly following trends reduces efficiency. Focus on single-tasking and individual thinking instead. A. Is modern technology of great help? B. Is online brainstorming better than group thinking? C. Employees believe multitasking will help get more done. D. Open offices save companies a lot of rental costs, though. E. Understanding these findings helps us rethink how we work. F. Humans can’t handle several tasks at the same time like computers. G. The idea is that tearing down walls will increase conversation between workers. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍三个常见的工作效率误区，包括多任务处理、开放式办公室、集体头脑风暴，并借助研究说明真相，引导人们重新思考工作方式。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Our culture is full of all kinds of ideas about how to get the most done. (我们的文化充斥着各种如何完成最多工作的观点)”，下文“Bosses think open offices are for increasing communication. (老板认为开放式办公室是用来增进交流的)”可知，总起段在列举人们对于高效工作的错误看法。C选项“员工认为多任务处理有助于完成更多工作” 承接上文，引出第一个效率误区，和后文并列观点呼应。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Multitasking may seem efficient on the surface but may actually take more time in the end and involve more error. (多任务处理表面上看似高效，但实际上最终可能花费更多时间，还会出现更多失误)”以及下文“There is always a cost to switching. (任务切换总会产生损耗)”可知，此处解释多任务处理效率低下的原因。F选项“人类无法像电脑一样同时处理多项任务”承接前文，对多任务的弊端进行解释说明。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Open office layouts are great for company culture. (开放式办公室布局对企业文化大有裨益)”以及下文“The problem: research suggests the opposite is true. (但问题在于：研究表明事实恰恰相反)”可知，空处阐述人们对开放式办公室的固有期待，与下文研究结果构成转折。G选项“这种想法就是拆掉隔墙会增加员工之间的交流”承接上文，点明人们支持开放式办公室的出发点。 【19题详解】 根据下文“A study shows that brainstorming over video conferencing is less effective than in person. In short, brainstorming in a group — whether online or offline — is much less productive than individual thinking. (一项研究表明视频会议头脑风暴不如线下效果好。总而言之，无论是线上还是线下的集体头脑风暴，效率远低于独立思考)”可知，下文提到借助视频会议这一现代技术开展头脑风暴效果并不理想。A选项“现代技术用处很大吗？”提出疑问，引出下文，说明即便是现代技术加持下的线上头脑风暴，依旧效果不佳。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Blindly following trends reduces efficiency. Focus on single‑tasking and individual thinking instead.(盲目跟风会降低效率。转而专注单项任务和独立思考)”可知，本段是全文结尾，总结研究发现并给出工作建议。E选项“了解这些研究结果有助于我们重新思考我们的工作方式”承接上文三个误区的研究内容，引出后文建议。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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。 Nehemiah Turner, an 11-year-old boy from Florida, has proved that a simple act of kindness can make a lasting difference. By ____21____ to homeless shelter animals for over two years, he achieved a historic milestone, becoming the first child volunteer in the shelter’s history to ____22____ 100 reading hours. For Nehemiah, these hours were not merely about reading aloud, but about offering comfort to dogs eagerly awaiting ____23____. The program is designed to serve a dual purpose: it helps children ____24____ their literacy skills while creating a peaceful environment for ____25____ animals. As Nehemiah sat beside the kennels (犬舍), the usual stressful barking often ____26____ quiet calmness. Nehemiah’s journey began when he first ____27____ the shelter with his grandmother. He ____28____ remembered the very first dog he read to, an experience so ____29____ that he burst into tears when it was time to leave. That emotional connection pushed him to return ____30____, eventually earning him an official certificate of appreciation from the shelter’s CEO. The benefits of this ____31____ proved to be mutual. Beyond ____32____ the animals, Nehemiah strengthened his own reading ability, entering sixth grade as a straight-A student. His story serves as a powerful reminder that meaningful change often starts ____33____. Inspired by his own ____34____, Nehemiah is far from finished. He has already set his ____35____ higher, aiming for 200 hours. For the shelter dogs, those extra hours mean continued hope as they wait for their forever homes. 21.

However, on a stormy Friday afternoon, his grandfather handed him a small, delicate wooden clock wrapped in thick paper. The clock was a special gift for Mr. Henderson, an old neighbor known in the community for his bad temper and serious look. “Deliver this safely, Mark,” his grandfather said with an encouraging smile. “It took me weeks to make it. Mr. Henderson has been waiting for a long time.” Unwillingly, Mark held the package tightly under his arm and stepped out into the wind and heavy rain. Raindrops kept hitting his face, making it hard for him to keep his eyes open. As he walked along the dark, slippery street, his worry grew stronger with every step. Children in the neighborhood were all afraid of Mr. Henderson and avoided his house. The thought of facing the old man made Mark’s stomach twist in fear. Finally, Mark arrived at the dark front door. Standing under the wet roof, he took a deep breath to calm himself down and knocked softly. A moment later, the heavy door opened, and Mr. Henderson appeared. The old man folded his arms, looking down at Mark with an icy expression. “What do you want, kid?” Mr. Henderson asked in a hard, cold voice. “I... I brought the clock from my grandfather,” Mark stammered (结巴着说) nervously, stepping forward to hand over the package. Suddenly, disaster happened. Mark’s wet shoes slipped on the smooth wooden floor. He lost his balance completely, his arms swinging wildly in the air. The package flew out of his hands and dropped onto the ground with a loud crash. The sharp sound of broken wood instantly filled the quiet entrance hall. Mark dropped to his knees, his heart sinking as he looked at the pieces around him. He slowly raised his head, facing the old man’s angry eyes. 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。 Mark froze for a moment, waiting nervously for Mr. Henderson’s reaction. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Guided by Mr. Henderson, Mark began to pick up the pieces carefully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mark froze for a moment, waiting nervously for Mr. Henderson’s reaction. “I’m so sorry, sir! It was an accident,” he stammered. He prepared himself for a furious roar, but to his surprise, the anger never came. Instead, Mr. Henderson slowly bent down beside him. “Don’t cry, young man,” the old man said gently, sighing softly. “It’s just wood and craft. Things can always be fixed.” Looking into his warm eyes, Mark realized the old neighbor was not scary at all, but simply lonely. “Let’s clean this up first,” Mr. Henderson added with a smile. Guided by Mr. Henderson, Mark began to pick up the pieces carefully. Together, they spent the next two hours sitting on the warm carpet, fixing the broken clock step by step. As Mark carefully glued the wooden parts back, the old man patiently guided him and shared lively stories about his youth. The once silent house was soon filled with laughter and warm conversation. When the rain finally stopped, the clock was ticking rhythmically again. Walking home under the clear sky, Mark felt a strong sense of pride, learning that courage often comes from understanding others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了害羞的马克冒雨为坏脾气的邻居送祖父做的钟，不慎摔碎后，却意外发现邻居温和友善，两人一起修好钟并成为朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写马克等待责骂，却发现亨德森先生温和友善，打破了此前对他的坏印象。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写二人一起修补钟表，聊天交心，马克收获勇气与新认知。 2.续写线索：冒雨送钟——意外摔碎——等待斥责——收获善意——合力修钟——领悟勇气真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①结巴说：stammer/speak haltingly ②弯下腰：bend down/stoop down/lean over 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②孤独的：lonely/solitary/lonesome 【点睛】【高分句型1】As Mark carefully glued the wooden parts back, the old man patiently guided him and shared lively stories about his youth.

Armed with heavy gardening tools, I approached the mess last Saturday, determined to restore order. My ten-year-old daughter, Chloe, followed, holding a small wooden bucket. To me, the task was straightforward: cut down every unwanted ivy until the fence was spotless. Seeing me attack the greenery, Chloe suddenly grabbed my arm. “Wait, Dad! Look at the lower corner,” she whispered, her voice tight with urgency. I paused, slightly annoyed by the interruption, but followed her finger. Hidden beneath the thick, green chaos was a tiny bird’s nest, cleverly sheltered by the very ivy I was trying to destroy. Chloe gently brushed aside a leafy branch, revealing three pale blue eggs resting safely inside a bed of dry grass. “If we clear it all, they won’t have a home,” she said softly. I stood there with my tools suspended in mid-air, a wave of discomfort washing over me. In my pursuit of neatness and control, I had treated the garden purely as a problem to be solved, completely blind to the life growing in its imperfect corners. Instead of shaving the fence clean, Chloe and I spent the afternoon carefully working around the delicate spot, trimming (修剪) only the overgrown edges and leaving a thick green pocket untouched. The result wasn’t the picture-perfect yard I had originally envisioned. Yet, as a pair of anxious sparrows (麻雀) returned to the untouched greenery later that evening, bringing food to their home, the slightly untidy fence suddenly looked far more harmonious than any neatly trimmed lawn. We often mistake absolute perfection for beauty. Perhaps true care isn’t about bending everything to our will, but about learning when to put down the tools and let nature take its own course. 4. What was the author’s initial goal in the garden? A. To plant new flowers. B. To clear away the ivy. C. To build a bird shelter. D. To teach gardening skills. 5. What made the author suspend his work? A. Chloe’s unexpected discovery of a nest. B. His realization of being injured by tools. C. The sudden appearance of two sparrows. D. Chloe’s refusal to hold the wooden bucket. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Brave and independent. B. Generous and energetic. C. Reflective and considerate. D. Humorous and adventurous. 7. What lesson does the author learn from this experience? A. Tools determine work efficiency. B. Children know best about nature. C. Absolute control creates disorder. D. Imperfection leaves room for life. C Not getting enough sleep can cause all manner of health issues. A new study published in Nature finds a U-shaped relationship between how long people sleep and markers of biological ageing. Those who got between 6.4 and 7.8 hours of shut-eye a night seemed to experience slower ageing in both brain and body than those who slept either more or less. Sleep trackers promise to help people hit this sweet spot. Apps typically record movement and sound, sometimes inferring breathing rates from the audio. Smartwatches record movement and measure blood flow by shining low-intensity light onto the skin and detecting how much reflects back. This is used to estimate heart and breathing rates. Most trackers are very good at distinguishing sleep from being awake. Several studies have compared them to polysomnography, which uses electrodes (电极) to record eye movements, brain activity, muscle tone and heart rate, and is the gold standard for measuring sleep. One paper published in Sensors in 2024 tested three popular wearable trackers and found that all aligned with polysomnography around 95% of the time in telling sleep from wakefulness across the night. When it comes to identifying different sleep stages, however, trackers are less accurate. A good night requires cycling between rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep and non-REM sleep. Wearables align with polysomnography on sleep-stage classification only 50 — 80% of the time. Nevertheless, many devices still include these unreliable metrics in their calculation of sleep scores. Despite these shortcomings, Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist, says they give people a more objective sense of how long they sleep and help improve sleep habits. Over half of tracker users reported changing their behavior after learning from the data. Too much data can have downsides, though. Putting more thought and effort into sleeping can backfire. Up to 30% of users report feeling anxious about the data they collect. Concern about poor sleep itself can make it harder to sleep. But sleep data is not worth losing sleep over. Whether you wake up feeling rested remains the best indicator of how good your night was. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By presenting a study focused on sleep trackers. B. By citing research that suggests an ideal sleep range. C. By listing various illnesses caused by lack of sleep. D. By analyzing the medical causes of biological ageing. 9. What does the underlined word “aligned” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Integrated. B. Interacted. C. Collaborated. D. Corresponded. 10. What is Rebecca Robbins’ attitude towards sleep trackers? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Dismissive. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Sleep Trackers: Helpful Tools with Certain Limits B. Sleep Trackers: A New Solution to Sleep Problems C. Better Sleep: How Technology Changes Our Habits D. Sleep Data: The Key to Understanding Human Health D Record-breaking heat and humidity (湿度) are already upon us at the start of an extremely hot summer. Our cities, with blacktop surfaces, polluting vehicles, and heat-trapping buildings, feel these temperatures the most. These high temperatures radiate sharply in contrast to surrounding suburbs on a thermal satellite map, earning the phenomenon its name: the Heat Island Effect. The Heat Island Effect can be a helpful reference point, scientists say. It raises awareness about urban heat, but experts say the phenomenon can put too much emphasis on ground temperature, rather than the ways those temperatures affect people. High temperatures have been linked to severe health issues. Scientists and architects have begun to search for protections. What’s emerged is a combination of green spaces, architectural innovations, and technological advancement that might help cities find relief. These efforts require precision or they can backfire. No two cities are the same, and their reasons for absorbing heat are also not the same. Heat poses different problems for different cities: for some it’s a long-term condition, while in others it’s a severe disaster. Adopting the wrong strategies can be wasteful and even harmful. Sydney and Dubai overheat because they are close to the desert. In these contexts, reflective surfaces can block solar radiation, lowering temperatures. By contrast, Athens’s heat comes from its dense (密集的) planning and the blockage of airflow. In Athens the priority is ventilation (通风): cooling rooftops with greenery and reflective materials. That pulls heavier, denser air down into the streets, drawing sea winds through the city and sweeping the heat out. Another way to cool down a city is to introduce plants. Medellin, Colombia, invested millions of dollars in “green passages” to fight the heat island effect. As of 2023, Medellin has lowered its average urban temperature by 2°C. Considering the species of tree before planting is vital, testing if it can withstand the climate and where its shade would be most effective. For example, a tree planted in a parking lot is much less valuable than one planted in a playground. 12. What is a hidden weakness of the Heat Island Effect concept? A. It lacks clear satellite evidence. B. It ignores heat’s harm to humans. C. It fails to explain suburban cooling. D. It overlooks urban building structures. 13. Why do cooling solutions differ greatly among cities according to the text? A. They face different natural disasters. B. Their technical budgets are unequal. C. Their local heat sources vary widely. D. Their green coverage differs sharply. 14. What can be inferred about tree planting from the last paragraph? A. Larger trees provide better cooling. B. Parking lots require more native trees. C.

I don’t think I’m alone. Our culture is full of all kinds of ideas about how to get the most done. ____16____ Bosses think open offices are for increasing communication. Here are three common productivity myths, alongside studies that help us see what the research says. Multitasking gets things done faster than focusing on one thing at a time. Right? Research suggests not. Every time you switch from one task to another there is a slight time cost. Although switch costs may be relatively small, they can add up to large amounts when people switch repeatedly. Multitasking may seem efficient on the surface but may actually take more time in the end and involve more error. ____17____ There is always a cost to switching. Open office layouts are great for company culture. ____18____ The problem: research suggests the opposite is true. Researchers directly studied the transition to an open office plan and found face-to-face interaction actually declined by around 70 percent. It turns out that open office structures will cause a natural psychological reaction in humans, who tend to keep social distance from nearby coworkers and choose to communicate via emails instead. Your manager probably insists group brainstorming is a proven way to come up with ideas. Except … it isn’t. Studies have indicated that students could work out tough problems much better when they were left to think independently rather than when they took part in group discussions. The participation of multiple people greatly restricts individual creative thinking. ____19____ A study shows that brainstorming over video conferencing is less effective than in person. In short, brainstorming in a group — whether online or offline — is much less productive than individual thinking. ____20____ Blindly following trends reduces efficiency. Focus on single-tasking and individual thinking instead. A. Is modern technology of great help? B. Is online brainstorming better than group thinking? C. Employees believe multitasking will help get more done. D. Open offices save companies a lot of rental costs, though. E. Understanding these findings helps us rethink how we work. F. Humans can’t handle several tasks at the same time like computers. G. The idea is that tearing down walls will increase conversation between workers. 第三部分 语言知识运用（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。 Nehemiah Turner, an 11-year-old boy from Florida, has proved that a simple act of kindness can make a lasting difference.

However, on a stormy Friday afternoon, his grandfather handed him a small, delicate wooden clock wrapped in thick paper. The clock was a special gift for Mr. Henderson, an old neighbor known in the community for his bad temper and serious look. “Deliver this safely, Mark,” his grandfather said with an encouraging smile. “It took me weeks to make it. Mr. Henderson has been waiting for a long time.” Unwillingly, Mark held the package tightly under his arm and stepped out into the wind and heavy rain. Raindrops kept hitting his face, making it hard for him to keep his eyes open. As he walked along the dark, slippery street, his worry grew stronger with every step. Children in the neighborhood were all afraid of Mr. Henderson and avoided his house. The thought of facing the old man made Mark’s stomach twist in fear. Finally, Mark arrived at the dark front door. Standing under the wet roof, he took a deep breath to calm himself down and knocked softly. A moment later, the heavy door opened, and Mr. Henderson appeared. The old man folded his arms, looking down at Mark with an icy expression. “What do you want, kid?” Mr. Henderson asked in a hard, cold voice. “I... I brought the clock from my grandfather,” Mark stammered (结巴着说) nervously, stepping forward to hand over the package. Suddenly, disaster happened. Mark’s wet shoes slipped on the smooth wooden floor. He lost his balance completely, his arms swinging wildly in the air. The package flew out of his hands and dropped onto the ground with a loud crash. The sharp sound of broken wood instantly filled the quiet entrance hall. Mark dropped to his knees, his heart sinking as he looked at the pieces around him. He slowly raised his head, facing the old man’s angry eyes. 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。 Mark froze for a moment, waiting nervously for Mr. Henderson’s reaction. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Guided by Mr. Henderson, Mark began to pick up the pieces carefully. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
