(它设有两大旗舰赛事——知名的56公里超级马拉松和广受欢迎的21.1公里半程马拉松，两项赛事都能让跑者领略开普半岛难忘的海岸与山地风光。)”可知，这项马拉松包含两项主要赛事。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据About Stillwater Sports部分中的“In terms of the agreement, Stillwater Sports is responsible for delivering world-class event operations, enhancing the runner experience, driving commercial growth, all while expanding the event’s reach and runner value.(根据协议，斯蒂尔沃特体育公司负责提供世界级赛事运营服务、提升参赛者体验、推动商业增长，同时扩大赛事影响力和参赛者价值。)”可知，Stillwater Sports负责马拉松赛事的具体运营工作。 B The message came by email on a Friday. “Do you remember me?” wrote the sender. Our first meeting: Jan. 25, 1990. I was exercising when the terrible news came: Avianca flight 052, a Boeing 707 from Bogota, Colombia, to New York City had crashed on Long Island’s North Shore. Soon the phone rang. It was the hospital: They had declared an emergency and needed me right now. At the hospital, I joined 200 other health-care providers. It was in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) that I met Andrea, an 8-year-old girl with serious injuries. When we visited her, she seemed to be asleep, but as we began to move away, she opened her eyes. “May I ask a question, please?” she asked me in a low voice. “Yes,” I answered instantly. “Am I going to die?” “No.” “May I go to sleep?” “Yes.” Her mother and brother had died in the crash; her father had survived, but he felt unable to go on. I said nothing and just led him to Andrea’s unit. “She needs you.” The father sobbed and nodded. Soon he needed to travel to Colombia to bury his wife and son. During his weeks of absence, I visited Andrea three times daily: before work, after work and at midday. An index card with my name and phone numbers sat at her bedside. When she saw me coming, she would call out my name — “Fornari!” After six weeks, Andrea’s injuries eventually healed. She and her father returned home to Colombia. Nine years later, they visited New York City, and we had a reunion. The 17-year-old young lady shared her desire to become a child psychiatrist like me; she wanted to help and support children the way I had done. In the following years, I thought of her often. And each Jan. 25, I reflected on my experiences with the survivors and their families. In 2010, the 20th anniversary services took place. A generation later, survivors once more thanked their rescuers, and families once again gathered to mourn their lost loved ones. And now here was Andrea’s email, asking whether I remembered her. Absolutely! 4. What can be “our first meeting” regarded as? A. An origin of a special bond. B. An anticipated arrangement. C. A miracle of a narrow escape. D. A required meeting of psychiatrists. 5. How did Andrea feel when she talked to the author? A. Curious and eager to be alive. B. Terrified and uncertain about her survival. C. Lucky but sad about the death of her loved ones. D. Dependent but confused about the author’s words. 6. What was the deepest impact the author had on Andrea probably? A. Andrea sent emails to the author regularly. B. Andrea made contributions to each anniversary. C. Andrea wanted to follow in the author’s footsteps. D. Andrea relied on the author as she did on her father. 7. What can be the best title of the text? A. What could we remember? B. Why did I choose the career? C. What did the crash leave behind? D. How could I forget? 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一场空难后，作者在医院救助受伤女孩Andrea，二人结下深厚缘分。多年后女孩发来邮件，一段跨越长久岁月的记忆再次被唤醒。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At the hospital, I joined 200 other health-care providers. It was in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) that I met Andrea, an 8-year-old girl with serious injuries. (在医院里，我和另外200名医护人员一起投入救援。就在儿科重症监护室，我见到了身受重伤的8岁女孩Andrea。)”、倒数第五段“During his weeks of absence, I visited Andrea three times daily (在她父亲离开的那几周，我每天三次看望Andrea)”及倒数第四段“Nine years later, they visited New York City, and we had a reunion. (九年后，他们来到纽约，我们重逢了。)”可知，这次初次见面开启了二人长久的联系与情感联结，是一段特殊羁绊的开端。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章中间对话部分“Am I going to die? (我会死吗？)”及“May I go to sleep? (我可以睡吗？)”可知，Andrea和作者交谈时，内心充满恐惧，不确定自己能否活下来。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“The 17-year-old young lady shared her desire to become a child psychiatrist like me; she wanted to help and support children the way I had done. (这位17岁的姑娘说，她想成为像我一样的儿童精神病医生，想像我那样帮助、支持孩子们。)”可知，作者对Andrea最深的影响是她立志追随作者的脚步，从事同样的职业。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后两段“And now here was Andrea’s email, asking whether I remembered her. Absolutely! (Andrea发来邮件问我是否还记得她。当然记得！)”以及通读全文可知，本文围绕这段难忘的相遇展开，“我怎能忘记？”贴合文章情感主线。 C Cities and towns are usually 1–3℃ hotter than the surrounding countryside, because asphalt, concrete and brick absorb heat from the sun and radiate it slowly. Known as the urban heat island (UHI), this effect can be dangerous and even deadly. There’s one simple solution: urban trees. Authorities have planted more trees to reduce the heat. But how effective is this? To find out, we analysed data from nearly 9,000 cities around the world, home to about 3.6 billion people. Our new research shows that trees almost halve how much heat is trapped by the UHI effect. Trees act like natural air conditioners, shading the ground and stopping asphalt and buildings from heating up in the first place. They also cool the air by releasing water vapour (蒸气) from their leaves in a process called transpiration, lowering surrounding temperatures. The effect they have is noticeable. Globally, trees cut the UHI effect by almost 50%. Since the average UHI effect typically adds around 1-3℃, this translates into cooling of roughly 0.5-1.5℃ in many cities. For more than 200 million people, trees reduce local air temperatures by at least 0.5℃, enough to make a meaningful difference during extreme heat. This cooling is welcome, but there is a catch. Trees are not evenly distributed. They’re often concentrated in wealthier neighbourhoods and suburban areas. Cities in more humid climates tend to have more. Leafy suburbs are usually several degrees cooler than nearby neighbourhoods with little vegetation. Also, there’s a strong link with wealth. In the United States, lower-income areas average 15% fewer trees than wealthier areas — and are 1.5℃ hotter. This means the people who need free cooling from trees the most are often the least likely to receive it. Planting trees is often promoted as a simple solution to city heat. Our study shows their effect is more limited in the face of climate change. The world’s current urban trees would, we estimate, offset just 10% of the extra heat expected by mid-century under moderate climate change scenarios (设想). With ambitious planting, this could rise to just around 20%. 8. What is the purpose of the research mentioned in the text? A. To find out the causes of the UHI effect. B. To introduce the concept of the UHI effect. C. To compare regional temperature differences. D. To assess the effectiveness of trees in fighting heat. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The statistical evidence of a finding. B. The practical application of a theory. C. The natural mechanism of an approach. D. The basic explanation of a phenomenon. 10. What do the underlined words “a catch” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. A rare chance. B. An ethical dilemma. C. A useful method. D. A hidden difficulty. 11. What should be done according to our study? A. More attention should be paid to climate change. B. It is time to abandon planting trees to fight urban heat. C. A large majority of extra heat needs to be removed otherwise. D. The even distribution of trees will become an alternative initiative. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了城市热岛效应，研究表明树木可以有效降温，但树木分布不均，并且面对气候变化，树木的降温效果存在局限。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Authorities have planted more trees to reduce the heat. But how effective is this? (政府种了更多树来降温，但这到底效果如何？)”及第二段“To find out, we analysed data from nearly 9,000 cities around the world (为了找到答案，我们分析了全球近9000座城市的数据)”可知，这项研究的目的是评估树木对抗高温的实际效果。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Globally, trees cut the UHI effect by almost 50%. Since the average UHI effect typically adds around 1-3℃, this translates into cooling of roughly 0.5-1.5℃ in many cities. For more than 200 million people, trees reduce local air temperatures by at least 0.5℃ (在全球范围，树木削弱近50%的热岛效应。一般热岛效应会增温1到3摄氏度，这意味着很多城市降温大约0.5至1.5摄氏度。对超过2亿人来说，树木让当地气温至少下降了0.5℃)”可知，本段用一系列数据为树木的降温效果提供统计证据。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“This cooling is welcome, but there is a catch . Trees are not evenly distributed. (这种降温效果很不错，但是存在个……。树木分布并不均匀)”及下文介绍贫富区域树木数量差异可知，树木分布不均是一个隐藏的困难/隐患。此处catch跟“hidden difficulty (隐藏的难题)”意义相近。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Our study shows their effect is more limited in the face of climate change. The world’s current urban trees would, we estimate, offset just 10% of the extra heat...With ambitious planting, this could rise to just around 20%. (我们的研究显示，面对气候变化，树木作用有限。现有城市树木仅抵消10%额外增温……大规模种树也只能到大约20%。)”可推知，大部分额外热量还需要依靠别的方式消除。 D Athletic footwear has entered a new era of ambition. No longer content to promise just comfort or performance, Nike claims its shoes can activate the brain, heighten sensory awareness and even improve concentration by stimulating the bottom of the feet. “By studying perception, attention, and sensory feedback, we’re using the brain-body connection in new ways,” said Nike’s chief science officer. “It’s not just about running faster; it’s about feeling more focused and resilient.” It’s a convincing idea: The feet are rich in sensory receptors, so could stimulating them really sharpen the mind? Neuroscience suggests the reality is more complicated — and far less dramatic — than the marketing implies. The bottom of the feet contains thousands of mechanoreceptors that detect pressure, vibration and movement. Signals from these receptors travel through nerves up to an area of the brain called the somatosensory cortex, which maintains a map of the body. The feet occupy a meaningful part of this map, reflecting their importance in balance, posture, and movement. Because posture and movement are tightly linked to attention and stimulation, changes in sensory feedback from the feet can influence how stable, alert or sensible a person feels. In view of this, neurologists and physicians pay close attention to footwear in patients with balance disorders, neuropathy, or gait problems. Changing sensory input can alter (改变) how people move. But is influencing movement the same thing as enhancing cognition? Sensory input from the feet activates somatosensory regions of the brain, not meaning cognitive enhancement. Focus, attention, and executive function depend on distributed networks involving various other areas of the brain. They also rely on hormones that adjust the nervous system, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. Some studies suggest that mild sensory input may increase alertness in specific populations, such as older adults training to improve their balance or people in recovery from sensory loss, but these effects are modest and highly dependent on context. The most meaningful “mind-altering” effects a person can experience through physical fitness still come from sustained movement, training, sleep and attention, not from sense alone. Footwear may shape how the journey feels, but it is unlikely to change the destination. 12. What is the feature of Nike’s shoes in its claim? A. Offering treatment for patients. B. Stressing comfort and performance. C. Enhancing wearers’ cognition. D. Proving the brain-body connection. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. The feet occupy the largest part in the brain’s body map. B. Foot-sensory signals can bring certain sense of alertness. C. Mechanoreceptors are created inside people’s athletic footwear. D. Somatosensory cortex is mainly responsible for hormone release. 14. Which of the following might neurologists agree with? A. Shoes may not change real cognitive ability. B. Nike has opened a new era of sports science. C. Solid evidence can help Nike expand the market. D. All mind-altering effects come from footwear. 15. What can be implied from the last sentence of the text? A. Nike’s claim is partially overstated. B. Keeping fit is a final destination in life. C. The shape of footwear may be tailored. D. A long journey begins with suitable shoes. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了耐克宣称新款鞋可通过刺激足底提升认知，神经学方面的研究指出其效果微弱，真正改善认知需靠长期运动等，鞋子的作用被营销夸大。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“No longer content to promise just comfort or performance, Nike claims its shoes can activate the brain, heighten sensory awareness and even improve concentration by stimulating the bottom of the feet.(耐克不再满足于承诺舒适或性能，而是宣称其鞋款能够通过刺激足底来激活大脑、增强感官意识，甚至提升专注力)”可知，耐克宣称自家鞋子不局限于传统的舒适、运动表现属性，还能通过刺激足底激活大脑、提升感知甚至改善专注力，而这些都属于认知能力提升的范畴。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Because posture and movement are tightly linked to attention and stimulation, changes in sensory feedback from the feet can influence how stable, alert or sensible a person feels.(由于姿势和运动与注意力和刺激密切相关，足部感觉反馈的变化会影响一个人感到的稳定度、警觉性或感知能力)”可知，来自足部的感官反馈变化会影响人感到警觉的程度，和B选项表述吻合。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But is influencing movement the same thing as enhancing cognition?(但影响运动是否等同于提升认知功能呢)”及第七段“Some studies suggest that mild sensory input may increase alertness in specific populations, such as older adults training to improve their balance or people in recovery for sensory loss, but these effects are modest and highly dependent on context.(一些研究表明，轻微的感觉输入可能在特定人群中提高警觉性，例如正在训练以改善平衡的老年群体，或正从感官丧失中恢复的人群。但这些效果较为有限，且高度依赖于具体情境)”可知，神经相关研究指出足部感官输入只能激活大脑的躯体感觉区域，不等于认知增强，真正的认知提升效果非常有限，因此神经科医生会认同“鞋子无法真正改变认知能力”的观点。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Footwear may shape how the journey feels, but it is unlikely to change the destination.(鞋子或许会影响旅途的感受，但不太可能改变目的地)”可推测，这是比喻说法：这里的“旅途体感”指穿鞋时的表层感官感受，“目的地”指耐克宣称的大幅提升专注力、强化认知的效果，结合前文提到的耐克宣传的效果远夸张于实际神经科学结论，可推知耐克的说法存在夸大成分。 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。 At 5 am, social media fills with proof that the early risers have already won the day. This is the routine that separates high performers from everyone else, reinforced by high-profile early risers such as Apple CEO Tim Cook, entrepreneur Richard Branson and so on. The message is simple: wake earlier, perform better. ____16____ For many people, a 5 am routine fights with their biology and can weaken both health and productivity. Much depends on your individual biological rhythm, or “chronotype”. Chronotypes reflect when people naturally feel alert or sleepy, and genetics play a major role in shaping them. Research shows that sleep timing is partly rooted in our genes, and chronotype is heritable. ____17____ Adolescents tend toward later sleep patterns and older adults often get up earlier. Studies often find differences between chronotypes. Morning types tend to report better academic outcomes. They are also less likely to report drug abuse and more likely to exercise regularly. Evening types, on average, show higher rates of burnout and are more likely to report poorer mental and physical health. A common belief is that adopting an early routine will deliver the same benefits seen in natural morning types. ____18____ They are shaped by genetics and circadian (生理节奏的) biology. For many evening or intermediate types, waking earlier than their natural rhythm can lead to sleep debt, reduced concentration, and poorer mood over time. ____19____ It is when people’s daily schedules are in line with their biological rhythms that they tend to perform best. Morning-oriented people often thrive in systems structured around early starts, while evening types may struggle not because they are less capable, but because their peak alertness occurs later. Early-rising experiments can feel effective at first. It often reflects motivation and attention rather than lasting biological change, similar to what happens after life changes such as starting a new job. ____20____ A. It also shifts across the whole life. B. But it is a more complicated story. C. However, chronotypes are not easily changed. D. Morning types have an advantage in their careers. E. A key point is that early rising itself does not create success. F. The patterns reinforce how chronotype shapes daily behaviour. G. With routines stabilising, the initial boost can become harder to last. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】文章通过分析科学研究，探讨了早起是否真的能带来成功，指出生物节律 (chronotype)才是关键因素，早起本身并不能创造成功，人们应根据自身的生物钟安排生活。 【16题详解】 上文“The message is simple: wake earlier, perform better. (信息很简单：早起，表现更好。)”提出了一种简单的观点，下文“For many people, a 5 am routine fights with their biology and can weaken both health and productivity. (对许多人来说，凌晨5点的日常与他们的生物规律相悖，可能会削弱健康和生产力。)”则提出了反驳，说明情况并不简单。B项“But it is a more complicated story. (但情况更为复杂。)”起到承上启下的转折作用，与下文内容一致。 【17题详解】 上文“Research shows that sleep timing is partly rooted in our genes, and chronotype is heritable. (研究表明，睡眠时间部分源于我们的基因，生物节律是可遗传的。)”说明了基因的作用，下文“Adolescents tend toward later sleep patterns and older adults often get up earlier. (青少年倾向于较晚的睡眠模式，而老年人通常更早起床。)”说明不同年龄段有不同的生物节律。A项“It also shifts across the whole life. (它在人的一生中也会变化。)”承接上文的基因影响，引出下文不同年龄段的变化，其中“also”表示递进，across the whole life与下文adolescents和older adults相呼应。 【18题详解】 上文“A common belief is that adopting an early routine will deliver the same benefits seen in natural morning types. (一种普遍的看法是，采用早起习惯将带来与天生早起型相同的好处。)”提出了人们的常见观点，下文“They are shaped by genetics and circadian biology. For many evening or intermediate types, waking earlier than their natural rhythm can lead to sleep debt (它们由基因和生理节律决定。对许多晚睡型或中间型的人来说，早于自然节律起床会导致睡眠不足)”则说明生物节律不易改变。C项“However, chronotypes are not easily changed. (然而，生物节律不容易改变。)”与上文形成转折，与下文They are shaped by genetics相衔接，符合语境。 【19题详解】 下文“It is when people's daily schedules are in line with their biological rhythms that they tend to perform best. (当人们的日常安排与他们的生物节律一致时，他们往往表现最好。)”强调的是与生物节律匹配的重要性，而非单纯早起。E项“A key point is that early rising itself does not create success. (关键一点是早起本身并不能创造成功。)”概括了本段核心观点，引出下文关于生物节律与表现关系的论述，符合题意。 【20题详解】 上文“Early-rising experiments can feel effective at first. It often reflects motivation and attention rather than lasting biological change, similar to what happens after life changes such as starting a new job. (早起实验一开始可能感觉有效。它通常反映的是动力和注意力，而非持久的生物变化，类似于开始新工作等生活变化后的情况。)”说明早期效果源于动力而非生物改变。G项“With routines stabilising, the initial boost can become harder to last. (随着日常稳定下来，最初的提升可能难以持续。)”承接上文，说明当新鲜感和动力消退后，效果难以维持，与上文的“rather than lasting biological change”相呼应。 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。 It was the last thing I wanted to do: walk around my neighborhood on a hot and sticky July afternoon in search of a floor fan. But my air conditioning had just ____21____. It was far more than the burning sun that had me ____22____. The one-year anniversary of Mom’s death was coming. She had passed away suddenly. There’d been no time to ____23____ myself. I’d only begun to ____24____ the reality that I’d never feel her ____25____ again. Mom and I spent so much time together and almost never ____26____ each lit-up Christmas tree. She’d be in her favorite Christmas sweater, suggesting that I add an extra layer against the cold or demanding “at least a warm ____27____, Celeste!”. I walked by a row of brick walk-ups and noticed a sweater neatly ____28____ over the gate out front, a signal that the gently used item was there for the ____29____. Underneath the sweater, ____30____ against the gate, was a Touched by an Angel DVD, one of Mom’s favorite TV shows. Was a(n) ____31____ trying to tell me something? I reached the corner. A woman called out to me. “Where’s your hat?” she asked. She was in her 70s, with a straw hat. As she approached, I ____32____ her earring and necklace set. A perfect summer ____33____, one Mom would have chosen. “Where’s your hat?” she asked again, “That sun ____34____ it!” Martha introduced herself. She lived nearby. I didn’t mention my broken air conditioning, my ____35____ for a fan. Or that she was yet another answer to my prayer to feel Mom close.

I had booked a taxi through an app, as my train to Edinburgh was due at 5:30. When a yellow car stopped, I got in quickly and checked the phone number and the destination with the driver. Then he pulled into the traffic. We drove in near silence — I was running through my presentation notes, and he seemed focused on the slippery roads. The rain hammered on the roof and the wipers worked hard. About twelve minutes into the ride, I noticed his posture change. He seemed to shift uncomfortably, one hand leaving the wheel to press against his stomach. He slowed down the car and pulled over, turning to me, his face pale. He apologised, saying he had a terrible pain and couldn’t drive any further, so I would have to get out and hail another taxi; he would refund my fare, and he gestured weakly towards the door, adding that I still had time to catch my train. I looked at him — jaw clenched, hand pressed hard against his abdomen (腹部), eyes clouded with pain — and told him he was in no condition to drive and that I was taking him to the hospital. He started to object, mentioning my train, but I cut him off, saying the train could wait. I got out at once, dragged him from the car, helped him lie down on the back seat, then quickly took the driver’s seat, gripped the wheel, signalled, and made a sharp U-turn as the storm raged on. Ahead, the traffic lights turned red. I asked if he had a relative I could call. He gasped out his nephew’s number. With one hand, I dialled and quickly informed the nephew that his uncle was in severe pain — we suspected appendicitis (阑尾炎) — and that we were heading to St. Mary’s; I told him to meet us at A&E and carried on driving. Behind me, he let out a soft groan (呻吟) but managed a faint whisper of thanks. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 The hospital’s emergency sign finally came into sight. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Days later, an unfamiliar number lit up my phone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The hospital’s emergency sign finally came into sight. Ignoring the splash of rain, I braked in front of the A&E entrance, dashed inside, and returned with two nurses, who helped him onto a stretcher. Minutes later, his nephew arrived, breathless but relieved. I handed him the taxi keys, explained what had happened, and then checked the time: 5:26 p.m. My train had already left. Disappointed yet strangely calm, I booked a ticket for the next morning and sent my client an honest message. To my relief, they replied that my presentation could be rescheduled. Days later, an unfamiliar number lit up my phone. It was the driver’s nephew. His uncle’s appendix had been close to bursting, but the operation had gone well, and he was recovering. The nephew added that my taxi fare had been refunded, along with the fee for the train I had missed. Then a weak but warm voice came on, thanking me again and again. I smiled, hearing the rain outside, and realised that some journeys matter far more than arriving on time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暴雨中作者乘出租车赶火车，途中司机突发疾病，疑似阑尾炎，作者决定放弃行程，亲自驾车送他到医院的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写作者载着患病司机到达医院后，司机在医院得到了及时的治疗；司机的侄子也及时赶到。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写出租车司机致电作者真诚感谢。 2.续写线索：赶到医院——侄子赶到——及时救治——作者修改行程——电话致谢——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①停车：brake/pull up/slam on the brakes ②回复：reply/respond/text back 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/show his appreciation/show his gratitude ②失望的：disappointed /discouraged/downhearted 【点睛】 [高分句型1]Ignoring the splash of rain, I braked in front of the A&E entrance, dashed inside, and returned with two nurses, who helped him onto a stretcher.

Our first meeting: Jan. 25, 1990. I was exercising when the terrible news came: Avianca flight 052, a Boeing 707 from Bogota, Colombia, to New York City had crashed on Long Island’s North Shore. Soon the phone rang. It was the hospital: They had declared an emergency and needed me right now. At the hospital, I joined 200 other health-care providers. It was in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) that I met Andrea, an 8-year-old girl with serious injuries. When we visited her, she seemed to be asleep, but as we began to move away, she opened her eyes. “May I ask a question, please?” she asked me in a low voice. “Yes,” I answered instantly. “Am I going to die?” “No.” “May I go to sleep?” “Yes.” Her mother and brother had died in the crash; her father had survived, but he felt unable to go on. I said nothing and just led him to Andrea’s unit. “She needs you.” The father sobbed and nodded. Soon he needed to travel to Colombia to bury his wife and son. During his weeks of absence, I visited Andrea three times daily: before work, after work and at midday. An index card with my name and phone numbers sat at her bedside. When she saw me coming, she would call out my name — “Fornari!” After six weeks, Andrea’s injuries eventually healed. She and her father returned home to Colombia. Nine years later, they visited New York City, and we had a reunion. The 17-year-old young lady shared her desire to become a child psychiatrist like me; she wanted to help and support children the way I had done. In the following years, I thought of her often. And each Jan. 25, I reflected on my experiences with the survivors and their families. In 2010, the 20th anniversary services took place. A generation later, survivors once more thanked their rescuers, and families once again gathered to mourn their lost loved ones. And now here was Andrea’s email, asking whether I remembered her. Absolutely! 4. What can be “our first meeting” regarded as? A. An origin of a special bond. B. An anticipated arrangement. C. A miracle of a narrow escape. D. A required meeting of psychiatrists. 5. How did Andrea feel when she talked to the author? A. Curious and eager to be alive. B. Terrified and uncertain about her survival. C. Lucky but sad about the death of her loved ones. D. Dependent but confused about the author’s words. 6. What was the deepest impact the author had on Andrea probably? A. Andrea sent emails to the author regularly. B. Andrea made contributions to each anniversary. C. Andrea wanted to follow in the author’s footsteps. D. Andrea relied on the author as she did on her father. 7. What can be the best title of the text? A. What could we remember? B. Why did I choose the career? C. What did the crash leave behind? D. How could I forget? C Cities and towns are usually 1–3℃ hotter than the surrounding countryside, because asphalt, concrete and brick absorb heat from the sun and radiate it slowly. Known as the urban heat island (UHI), this effect can be dangerous and even deadly. There’s one simple solution: urban trees. Authorities have planted more trees to reduce the heat. But how effective is this? To find out, we analysed data from nearly 9,000 cities around the world, home to about 3.6 billion people. Our new research shows that trees almost halve how much heat is trapped by the UHI effect. Trees act like natural air conditioners, shading the ground and stopping asphalt and buildings from heating up in the first place. They also cool the air by releasing water vapour (蒸气) from their leaves in a process called transpiration, lowering surrounding temperatures. The effect they have is noticeable. Globally, trees cut the UHI effect by almost 50%. Since the average UHI effect typically adds around 1-3℃, this translates into cooling of roughly 0.5-1.5℃ in many cities. For more than 200 million people, trees reduce local air temperatures by at least 0.5℃, enough to make a meaningful difference during extreme heat. This cooling is welcome, but there is a catch. Trees are not evenly distributed. They’re often concentrated in wealthier neighbourhoods and suburban areas. Cities in more humid climates tend to have more. Leafy suburbs are usually several degrees cooler than nearby neighbourhoods with little vegetation. Also, there’s a strong link with wealth. In the United States, lower-income areas average 15% fewer trees than wealthier areas — and are 1.5℃ hotter. This means the people who need free cooling from trees the most are often the least likely to receive it. Planting trees is often promoted as a simple solution to city heat. Our study shows their effect is more limited in the face of climate change. The world’s current urban trees would, we estimate, offset just 10% of the extra heat expected by mid-century under moderate climate change scenarios (设想). With ambitious planting, this could rise to just around 20%. 8. What is the purpose of the research mentioned in the text? A. To find out the causes of the UHI effect. B. To introduce the concept of the UHI effect. C. To compare regional temperature differences. D. To assess the effectiveness of trees in fighting heat. 9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The statistical evidence of a finding. B. The practical application of a theory. C. The natural mechanism of an approach. D. The basic explanation of a phenomenon. 10. What do the underlined words “a catch” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. A rare chance. B. An ethical dilemma. C. A useful method. D. A hidden difficulty. 11. What should be done according to our study? A. More attention should be paid to climate change. B. It is time to abandon planting trees to fight urban heat. C. A large majority of extra heat needs to be removed otherwise. D. The even distribution of trees will become an alternative initiative. D Athletic footwear has entered a new era of ambition. No longer content to promise just comfort or performance, Nike claims its shoes can activate the brain, heighten sensory awareness and even improve concentration by stimulating the bottom of the feet. “By studying perception, attention, and sensory feedback, we’re using the brain-body connection in new ways,” said Nike’s chief science officer. “It’s not just about running faster; it’s about feeling more focused and resilient.” It’s a convincing idea: The feet are rich in sensory receptors, so could stimulating them really sharpen the mind? Neuroscience suggests the reality is more complicated — and far less dramatic — than the marketing implies. The bottom of the feet contains thousands of mechanoreceptors that detect pressure, vibration and movement. Signals from these receptors travel through nerves up to an area of the brain called the somatosensory cortex, which maintains a map of the body. The feet occupy a meaningful part of this map, reflecting their importance in balance, posture, and movement. Because posture and movement are tightly linked to attention and stimulation, changes in sensory feedback from the feet can influence how stable, alert or sensible a person feels. In view of this, neurologists and physicians pay close attention to footwear in patients with balance disorders, neuropathy, or gait problems. Changing sensory input can alter (改变) how people move. But is influencing movement the same thing as enhancing cognition? Sensory input from the feet activates somatosensory regions of the brain, not meaning cognitive enhancement. Focus, attention, and executive function depend on distributed networks involving various other areas of the brain. They also rely on hormones that adjust the nervous system, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. Some studies suggest that mild sensory input may increase alertness in specific populations, such as older adults training to improve their balance or people in recovery from sensory loss, but these effects are modest and highly dependent on context. The most meaningful “mind-altering” effects a person can experience through physical fitness still come from sustained movement, training, sleep and attention, not from sense alone. Footwear may shape how the journey feels, but it is unlikely to change the destination. 12. What is the feature of Nike’s shoes in its claim? A. Offering treatment for patients. B. Stressing comfort and performance. C. Enhancing wearers’ cognition. D. Proving the brain-body connection. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. The feet occupy the largest part in the brain’s body map. B. Foot-sensory signals can bring certain sense of alertness. C. Mechanoreceptors are created inside people’s athletic footwear. D.

A long journey begins with suitable shoes. 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。 At 5 am, social media fills with proof that the early risers have already won the day. This is the routine that separates high performers from everyone else, reinforced by high-profile early risers such as Apple CEO Tim Cook, entrepreneur Richard Branson and so on. The message is simple: wake earlier, perform better. ____16____ For many people, a 5 am routine fights with their biology and can weaken both health and productivity. Much depends on your individual biological rhythm, or “chronotype”. Chronotypes reflect when people naturally feel alert or sleepy, and genetics play a major role in shaping them. Research shows that sleep timing is partly rooted in our genes, and chronotype is heritable. ____17____ Adolescents tend toward later sleep patterns and older adults often get up earlier. Studies often find differences between chronotypes. Morning types tend to report better academic outcomes. They are also less likely to report drug abuse and more likely to exercise regularly. Evening types, on average, show higher rates of burnout and are more likely to report poorer mental and physical health. A common belief is that adopting an early routine will deliver the same benefits seen in natural morning types. ____18____ They are shaped by genetics and circadian (生理节奏的) biology. For many evening or intermediate types, waking earlier than their natural rhythm can lead to sleep debt, reduced concentration, and poorer mood over time. ____19____ It is when people’s daily schedules are in line with their biological rhythms that they tend to perform best. Morning-oriented people often thrive in systems structured around early starts, while evening types may struggle not because they are less capable, but because their peak alertness occurs later. Early-rising experiments can feel effective at first. It often reflects motivation and attention rather than lasting biological change, similar to what happens after life changes such as starting a new job. ____20____ A. It also shifts across the whole life. B. But it is a more complicated story. C. However, chronotypes are not easily changed. D. Morning types have an advantage in their careers. E. A key point is that early rising itself does not create success. F. The patterns reinforce how chronotype shapes daily behaviour. G. With routines stabilising, the initial boost can become harder to last. 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。 It was the last thing I wanted to do: walk around my neighborhood on a hot and sticky July afternoon in search of a floor fan.

The summer storm broke without warning. I had booked a taxi through an app, as my train to Edinburgh was due at 5:30. When a yellow car stopped, I got in quickly and checked the phone number and the destination with the driver. Then he pulled into the traffic. We drove in near silence — I was running through my presentation notes, and he seemed focused on the slippery roads. The rain hammered on the roof and the wipers worked hard. About twelve minutes into the ride, I noticed his posture change. He seemed to shift uncomfortably, one hand leaving the wheel to press against his stomach. He slowed down the car and pulled over, turning to me, his face pale. He apologised, saying he had a terrible pain and couldn’t drive any further, so I would have to get out and hail another taxi; he would refund my fare, and he gestured weakly towards the door, adding that I still had time to catch my train. I looked at him — jaw clenched, hand pressed hard against his abdomen (腹部), eyes clouded with pain — and told him he was in no condition to drive and that I was taking him to the hospital. He started to object, mentioning my train, but I cut him off, saying the train could wait. I got out at once, dragged him from the car, helped him lie down on the back seat, then quickly took the driver’s seat, gripped the wheel, signalled, and made a sharp U-turn as the storm raged on. Ahead, the traffic lights turned red. I asked if he had a relative I could call. He gasped out his nephew’s number. With one hand, I dialled and quickly informed the nephew that his uncle was in severe pain — we suspected appendicitis (阑尾炎) — and that we were heading to St. Mary’s; I told him to meet us at A&E and carried on driving. Behind me, he let out a soft groan (呻吟) but managed a faint whisper of thanks. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 The hospital’s emergency sign finally came into sight. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Days later, an unfamiliar number lit up my phone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
