Here are three of the many titles gathered for this 2026 Earth Month bookshelf. My Life with Wolves: How I Became the Storyteller for the Yellowstone Packs by Rick McIntyre (Greystone Books, 2026, 296 pages, $30.00) Former park ranger (护林人) Rick McIntyre shares decades of wisdom from observing wolves in Yellowstone. He narrates how he narrowly missed a deer’s charge and watched alpha wolves battle for territory. More importantly, this memoir explains how the wolves’ calm assertiveness shaped his own values. The Company of Owls: A Memoir by Polly Atkin (Milkweed Editions, 2026, 216 pages, $25.00) Restricted by illness to her cottage in England’s Lake District, Polly Atkin finds companionship in a family of owls living nearby. As she watches them grow, she reflects on survival and solitude. The owls, she writes, taught her to listen carefully to the world around her. Outsider Animals: How the Creatures at the Margin of Our Lives Have the Most to Teach Us by Marlene Zuk (Princeton University Press, 2026, 312 pages, $29.95) Biologist Marlene Zuk shifts our focus to creatures we frequently overlook — such as snakes, cockroaches, butterflies and other little-known species. With wit and genuine curiosity, she reveals what cockroaches can teach us about evolution, how butterflies reshape our understanding of pollution, and why even unpopular animals offer profound lessons. 1. What does Rick McIntyre mainly convey in his book? A. Observing wolves helped him develop his personal beliefs. B. His career as a park ranger was filled with unexpected risks. C. The Yellowstone wolf packs have complex social structures. D. Humans should always keep a safe distance from wild animals. 2. What drove Polly Atkin to seek companionship with the owls? A. Her desire to write a nature memoir. B. Her limited mobility due to health issues. C. Her preference for animals over humans. D. Her childhood dream of living in the wild. 3. What do the three books have in common? A. They are set in North America. B. They focus on survival challenges of wild animals. C. They explore the connection between humans and nature. D. They stress the importance of protecting endangered species. B What do you eat when you need comfort? The answer varies depending on where you’re from, but it’s likely some form of broth (肉汤), served steaming in a bowl. Across continents, broths are woven into cultural and familial memory. They rarely command attention on their own — yet they form the backbone of countless cuisines. For Dara Klein, a chef in London, broth connects the threads between her early childhood memories in Italy and her life’s work. In Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, tortellini in brodo is a Christmas tradition. Families gather to shape the pasta by hand while the broth simmers (煨). “Italians are introduced to broth very early in life,” Klein says. “People connect to it deeply.” Zoey Xinyi Gong, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) food therapist, remembers her grandmother’s chicken soup with goji berries. “There’s always a soup for every meal,” Gong says. “A meal is not complete without soup.” In TCM, which dates back to the 2nd century BC, broth-based soups help maintain the body’s yin and yang — a balance essential for health. Chicken soup, in particular, has long been associated with recovery. Korea’s samgye-tang is eaten during the hottest summer days as a restorative meal. Greece’s avgolemono combines chicken broth with egg, lemon and rice. Mexico’s caldo de pollo is a sustaining everyday soup. Scientific research into broth’s benefits is ongoing. Some studies suggest it may help reduce inflammation and ease cold symptoms. However, many sweeping health claims surrounding bone broth remain contested, and its benefits are often overstated in popular wellness culture. Gong recalls being shocked when bone broth became a trendy health product in New York. “They were selling it at coffee shops for $10 for little cups,” she says. “But we’ve been drinking that for a very long time in China.” Whether simmered for survival, wellness or celebration, one thing seems universal: In kitchens everywhere, someone is still tending the pot. 4. What does Dara Klein say about broth in Italian culture? A. It is a recent cooking invention. B. It is only served during Christmas. C. It was first documented in royal courts. D. It has deep emotional and traditional roots. 5. What can be inferred about soup in Chinese culture from Gong’s words and TCM principles? A. It is considered essential but primarily for its flavor. B. It is only consumed when someone is feeling unwell. C. It is valued as a tool for maintaining physical harmony. D. It has been replaced by modern medicine in recent years. 6. What is the author’s attitude toward the health claims made in popular wellness culture? A. He refuses to accept them totally. B. He doubts them with good reason. C. He just watches and says nothing. D. He agrees with them wholeheartedly. 7. Which phrase or idiom most closely reflects the main idea of the passage? A. There is no place like home. B. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. C. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. D. A spoonful of comfort — across lands and tongues. C Table tennis is a sport that requires fast reaction times as the ball velocity (速度) can exceed 20 m/s in high-level games, and the time between shots is often less than 0.5s. The spin (高速旋转), that is, the angular velocity of the ball, can reach 1,000 rad/s, which greatly affects the ball’s trajectory (轨迹) and its response when bouncing on the table and racket. Spin is used to make shots harder to return or to gain a tactical advantage. Responding effectively requires expert players to master a range of skills for tracking, reacting to, and generating high-speed, high-spin shots. Since 1983, various table tennis robots have tackled this challenge in simplified settings, using ball launchers, reduced court coverage and excluding either robot or human serves. Crucially, the role of spin has often been ignored, although it is an important component of competitive human play. Ace, a table tennis robot developed by Sony, a Japanese company, is specifically designed to break through these limitations. Equipped with an advanced perception system using event-based vision sensors and a control system powered by deep reinforcement learning, Ace becomes the first real-world table tennis AI agent competitive with human athletes. In April 2025, Ace competed against five elite players (defined as competitive athletes with more than 10 years of intensive training) and two professional players (defined as athletes competing in officially recognized professional leagues, specifically the Japanese T. League), following International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) rules. Against the elite players, Ace secured three victories out of five matches, winning a total of seven games out of thirteen played. Against the professional players, Ace lost both matches, though it managed to win one game out of the seven played. Observing a shot played by Ace, Kinjiro Nakamura, a table tennis expert and participant in the 1992 Olympics, commented: “… no one else would have been able to do that. I didn’t think it was possible. But the fact that it was possible… means that there is a possibility that a human could do it too.” 8. What do we know about spin? A. It speeds up the ball. B. It makes the ball lighter. C. It shortens reaction time. D. It changes the ball’s path and bounce. 9. What key problems has Ace solved? A. Having high cost and lacking opponents. B. Using unrealistic conditions and ignoring spin. C. Moving slowly and lacking real-time adjustment. D. Having limited coverage and responding poorly to high-speed shots. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Ace’s competition results. B. Types of Ace’s opponents. C. Rules followed in the matches. D. Ace’s technical weaknesses. 11. Why is Nakamura’s comment mentioned? A. To say humans never did that. B. To prove Ace beats all professionals. C. To highlight Ace’s amazing performance. D. To show that robots could replace humans. D Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a secret world of light. While bioluminescence — the ability of living things to produce their own light — has long interested scientists, a lesser-known phenomenon called bio-fluorescence (生物荧光) is now stealing the spotlight. Bio-fluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green, red, or orange. Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow. This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions. In the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) of the Pacific, researchers observed corals sending out green under blue light. “It’s a dance of partnership guided by light,” explains marine biologist Dr. Kenji Nakamura. Without this interaction, coral bleaching (白化) — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up. Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid (短尾乌贼). When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape. Dr. Emily Carter who led the study notes, “This is evolution’s version of a smoke screen — but far more shining.” The discovery of GFP — green fluorescent protein (绿色荧光蛋白) — in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science. Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s. “GFP is a window into the brain’s hidden workings,” says brain scientist Dr. Maria Gonzalez. Scientists are now copying bio-fluorescence to develop sustainable technologies. For example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting, and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging. “Nature’s designs are blueprints for human innovation,” says materials scientist Dr. Raj Patel. Yet mysteries remain. Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered, their purposes still unclear. As submarines dive deeper, each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show, proving that the ocean’s depths still guard ancient secrets. 12. How is bio-fluorescence different from bioluminescence? A. It is drawing less attention. B. It produces brighter lights. C. It needs an outside light source. D. It makes better use of chemical reactions. 13. What can we learn about the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. They both describe light-based hunting methods. B. They both explain the formation of a close partnership. C. They both highlight potential threats to the environment. D. They both show survival functions of bio-fluorescence. 14. What is the main use of GFP in science? A. To protect corals from bleaching. B. To create more efficient LED lights. C. To treat the disease of Alzheimer’s. D. To visualize cells for better observation. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Hidden Light Show B. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Display of Beauty C. Bioluminescence: Ocean’s Ancient Magic Power D. Bioluminescence: Colourful Window into Ocean Secret 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。 Life is full of setbacks, and learning to navigate them is a central task of growing up. Yet many young people today find themselves unprepared when things go wrong. “Psychological resilience” refers to the ability to recover from difficulties and adapt well to adversity. ____16____ Instead of seeing it as a fixed trait that some people have and others lack, experts now view resilience as a set of skills that anyone can learn. Allow yourself to feel what you feel. When faced with a failure, the natural instinct is often to push away unpleasant emotions — to tell ourselves “I shouldn’t be this upset” or “I need to just get over it.” ____17____ Research shows that acknowledging and naming our emotions reduces their intensity. Instead of saying “I’m a failure,” say “I feel disappointed and frustrated right now.” This simple shift creates space between identity and emotion. Reframe the narrative. The stories we tell ourselves about our setbacks matter enormously. A student who fails an exam can label the experience as “proof that I’m not smart enough,” or reframe it as “a signal that I need to adjust my study methods.” ____18____ The first narrative leads to helplessness; the second opens the door to growth. Build a support network. Resilience is not a solo achievement. When young people feel they have to face their struggles alone, small setbacks can spiral into major crises. ____19____ Reaching out — whether to friends, family, or a trusted teacher — can transform a burden into a shared challenge. Connection reminds us that we are not broken; we are simply human. Practice self-compassion. ____20____ Treating oneself with the same kindness one would offer a close friend is not self-indulgence — it is wisdom. Research by Dr. Kristin Neff has shown that self-compassion, far from making people lazy, actually increases motivation and the willingness to try again. The path to resilience is not about becoming invulnerable, but about learning to bend without breaking. A. The key word here is “learn.” B. This, however, is often misleading. C. That is why high achievers never experience any self-doubt. D. The difference between these two interpretations is enormous. E. Curiously enough, the hardest person to forgive is often ourselves. F. Therefore, building resilience means avoiding negative emotions at all costs. G. Having someone who simply listens without judgment can be deeply healing. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 On August 26, a massive mud-rock slide hit northern Nepal after days of non-stop heavy rainfall.

Dark matter makes up about 85% of all the matter in the universe and is about five times as abundant ____38____ ordinary matter, which makes up stars, planets and everything else ____39____ scientists can see. Dark matter is invisible because it does not absorb or reflect light, but it does interact with regular matter, and its gravitational effects ____40____ (need) to explain the structure of the universe. For nearly half a century — since American astronomers Vera Rubin and W Kent Ford provided some of the strongest evidence ____41____ dark matter's existence — scientists ____42____ (try) to identify the unseen substance, more recently using sophisticated devices ____43____ (design) to detect potential candidates. One of these devices is the LUX-ZEPLIN, or LZ, experiment — a detector containing 7 active metric tons of liquid xenon that's in a former gold mine nearly a mile (about 1.5 kilometers) below Earth's surface at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. The detector registered ____44____ unusual particle interaction in June 2023 that generated a flash of light and cautious excitement. The LZ collaboration is an international group of 250 scientists and engineers from 39 institutions. After _____45_____ (month) of analysis, the team estimates only a 0.5% chance that a known source of interference caused the event — making this signal the most compelling hint of dark matter the instrument has ever recorded. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 我校英语组为提振同学们学习英语的热情，准备举办英语演讲比赛，主题为“科技发展”。请你以“My Life In The Year 3000”为题写一篇英语演讲稿参加比赛。内容包括： 1．你所想象的未来生活； 2．你的感悟。 注意： 1．词数80个左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 My Life in the Year 3000 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 47. 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。 A Teacher’s Dream When handball was introduced to Sri Lankan schools in 2010,I wanted to bring it to my school, St Anthony’s, in the remote village of Wasalakotte in central Sri Lanka. This became a challenging task as the sports teacher was unwilling to initiate anything other than traditional sports, such as cricket, rugby and basketball. I was not a sports teacher and I had never played handball before. In fact, I was an English language teacher before assuming my post as vice principal. However, I was determined to start this game at any cost. Handball is a fascinating game which combines speed, strength, flexibility, technical precision, skill and teamwork. As a new sport, I foresaw it as a golden opportunity for our school as we had never secured a place in traditional sports. The boys were immediately interested and 40 students aged between 13 and 19 signed up to play. I had the support of their parents. Ultimately, I managed to convince the sports teacher to agree. However, we still needed a coach. Heshan Pradeep, a St Anthony’s old boy who graduated some nine years earlier, volunteered to coach the team. He was a member of the Air Force handball team and was happy to take on the role in his free time. He assigned exercises and drills to do in his absence. Although handball is an indoor game, we trained outdoors as our school had limited facilities. Training started early in the morning before class and continued after school until it was dark. The boys loved the game and were enthusiastic about training. “This handball craze will ruin your studies!” complained some of the teachers in an attempt to discourage the game. Whenever the boys were late for class after morning practice, they were scolded or punished by their teachers, but I was able to keep them cheerful. After three months of intense training, we were able to send an under-19s boys’ team to compete with 50 other schools at the first all-island school handball tournament held in Colombo—the country’s richest city. 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。 However, the Handball Association rejected our application because we weren’t association members. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The victory sent the whole school into festive mode. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

As she watches them grow, she reflects on survival and solitude. The owls, she writes, taught her to listen carefully to the world around her.(因病只能待在英格兰湖区的一间小屋里，波莉·阿特金在附近一家猫头鹰家族中找到了陪伴。看着它们成长，她开始思考生存与孤独。她写道，这些猫头鹰教会了她仔细倾听周围的世界)”可知，Polly Atkin因疾病被困于村舍，行动受限，这才促使她在附近的猫头鹰一家中寻找陪伴。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One indirect outcome of Earth Day was the collective decision to protect the wildlife we live with and to cope with the resulting tensions. Here are three of the many titles gathered for this 2026 Earth Month bookshelf.(地球日的一个间接成果，是人们共同决定保护与我们共存的野生动物，并应对由此带来的种种紧张局面。以下是为2026年地球月书架精心挑选的三本作品)”以及第一本书讲人通过观察狼群形成自己的价值观，第二本书讲人因病受限而从猫头鹰身上学会聆听世界，第三本书讲被忽视的生物能教给人类深刻的道理可知，三本书的共同点是都探讨了人类与自然之间的联系与互动。 B What do you eat when you need comfort? The answer varies depending on where you’re from, but it’s likely some form of broth (肉汤), served steaming in a bowl. Across continents, broths are woven into cultural and familial memory. They rarely command attention on their own — yet they form the backbone of countless cuisines. For Dara Klein, a chef in London, broth connects the threads between her early childhood memories in Italy and her life’s work. In Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, tortellini in brodo is a Christmas tradition. Families gather to shape the pasta by hand while the broth simmers (煨). “Italians are introduced to broth very early in life,” Klein says. “People connect to it deeply.” Zoey Xinyi Gong, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) food therapist, remembers her grandmother’s chicken soup with goji berries. “There’s always a soup for every meal,” Gong says. “A meal is not complete without soup.” In TCM, which dates back to the 2nd century BC, broth-based soups help maintain the body’s yin and yang — a balance essential for health. Chicken soup, in particular, has long been associated with recovery. Korea’s samgye-tang is eaten during the hottest summer days as a restorative meal. Greece’s avgolemono combines chicken broth with egg, lemon and rice. Mexico’s caldo de pollo is a sustaining everyday soup. Scientific research into broth’s benefits is ongoing. Some studies suggest it may help reduce inflammation and ease cold symptoms. However, many sweeping health claims surrounding bone broth remain contested, and its benefits are often overstated in popular wellness culture. Gong recalls being shocked when bone broth became a trendy health product in New York. “They were selling it at coffee shops for $10 for little cups,” she says. “But we’ve been drinking that for a very long time in China.” Whether simmered for survival, wellness or celebration, one thing seems universal: In kitchens everywhere, someone is still tending the pot. 4. What does Dara Klein say about broth in Italian culture? A. It is a recent cooking invention. B. It is only served during Christmas. C. It was first documented in royal courts. D. It has deep emotional and traditional roots. 5. What can be inferred about soup in Chinese culture from Gong’s words and TCM principles? A. It is considered essential but primarily for its flavor. B. It is only consumed when someone is feeling unwell. C. It is valued as a tool for maintaining physical harmony. D. It has been replaced by modern medicine in recent years. 6. What is the author’s attitude toward the health claims made in popular wellness culture? A. He refuses to accept them totally. B. He doubts them with good reason. C. He just watches and says nothing. D. He agrees with them wholeheartedly. 7. Which phrase or idiom most closely reflects the main idea of the passage? A. There is no place like home. B. One man’s meat is another man’s poison. C. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. D. A spoonful of comfort — across lands and tongues. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了肉汤在世界各地不同文化里占据重要地位，它承载着家庭与文化记忆，兼具饮食、养生价值，同时作者也客观看待了市面上关于肉汤的各类健康说法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Italians are introduced to broth very early in life,” Klein says. “People connect to it deeply.” (Klein说：“意大利人从小就接触肉汤，人们对它有着深厚的情感。”) ”可知，肉汤在意大利文化中有着深厚的情感与传统根基。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“In TCM, which dates back to the 2nd century BC, broth-based soups help maintain the body’s yin and yang — a balance essential for health.(追溯至公元前 2 世纪的中医认为，各类汤品有助于维持人体阴阳平衡，而这种平衡是健康的关键)”可知，在中国文化中，汤被视作维持身体调和的一种方式。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第六段“However, many sweeping health claims surrounding bone broth remain contested, and its benefits are often overstated in popular wellness culture.(然而，许多关于骨汤的宽泛健康说法仍存有争议，在当下流行的养生文化中，它的功效也常常被夸大)”可知，作者对流行养生文化中的相关健康说法持谨慎质疑的态度。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“What do you eat when you need comfort? The answer varies depending on where you’re from, but it’s likely some form of broth (肉汤), served steaming in a bowl.(当你想要寻求慰藉时，会吃些什么？答案因人而异，但多半是一碗热气腾腾的肉汤。)”及全文内容可知，文章围绕肉汤展开，讲述它在不同国家、不同文化中都能给人带来慰藉，因此最贴合文章主旨的是 “一勺慰藉，跨越地域与语言”。 C Table tennis is a sport that requires fast reaction times as the ball velocity (速度) can exceed 20 m/s in high-level games, and the time between shots is often less than 0.5s. The spin (高速旋转), that is, the angular velocity of the ball, can reach 1,000 rad/s, which greatly affects the ball’s trajectory (轨迹) and its response when bouncing on the table and racket. Spin is used to make shots harder to return or to gain a tactical advantage. Responding effectively requires expert players to master a range of skills for tracking, reacting to, and generating high-speed, high-spin shots. Since 1983, various table tennis robots have tackled this challenge in simplified settings, using ball launchers, reduced court coverage and excluding either robot or human serves. Crucially, the role of spin has often been ignored, although it is an important component of competitive human play. Ace, a table tennis robot developed by Sony, a Japanese company, is specifically designed to break through these limitations. Equipped with an advanced perception system using event-based vision sensors and a control system powered by deep reinforcement learning, Ace becomes the first real-world table tennis AI agent competitive with human athletes. In April 2025, Ace competed against five elite players (defined as competitive athletes with more than 10 years of intensive training) and two professional players (defined as athletes competing in officially recognized professional leagues, specifically the Japanese T. League), following International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) rules. Against the elite players, Ace secured three victories out of five matches, winning a total of seven games out of thirteen played. Against the professional players, Ace lost both matches, though it managed to win one game out of the seven played. Observing a shot played by Ace, Kinjiro Nakamura, a table tennis expert and participant in the 1992 Olympics, commented: “… no one else would have been able to do that. I didn’t think it was possible. But the fact that it was possible… means that there is a possibility that a human could do it too.” 8. What do we know about spin? A. It speeds up the ball. B. It makes the ball lighter. C. It shortens reaction time. D. It changes the ball’s path and bounce. 9. What key problems has Ace solved? A. Having high cost and lacking opponents. B. Using unrealistic conditions and ignoring spin. C. Moving slowly and lacking real-time adjustment. D. Having limited coverage and responding poorly to high-speed shots. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Ace’s competition results. B. Types of Ace’s opponents. C. Rules followed in the matches. D. Ace’s technical weaknesses. 11. Why is Nakamura’s comment mentioned? A. To say humans never did that. B. To prove Ace beats all professionals. C. To highlight Ace’s amazing performance. D. To show that robots could replace humans. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了索尼公司研发的乒乓球机器人Ace，它突破了以往机器人忽略旋转等简化条件的限制，在与人类精英和职业选手的实战中取得了一定成绩，展示了人工智能在竞技体育中的应用潜力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The spin (高速旋转), that is, the angular velocity of the ball, can reach 1,000 rad/s, which greatly affects the ball’s trajectory (轨迹) and its response when bouncing on the table and racket.(球的旋转，即角速度，可达1000弧度/秒，这极大地影响了球的轨迹及其在球台和球拍上反弹时的反应。)”可知，旋转会改变球的运动轨迹和反弹方式。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Since 1983, various table tennis robots have tackled this challenge in simplified settings, using ball launchers, reduced court coverage and excluding either robot or human serves. Crucially, the role of spin has often been ignored, although it is an important component of competitive human play.(自1983年以来，各种乒乓球机器人都在简化的环境中应对这一挑战，使用发球机、缩小场地覆盖范围，并且排除机器人或人类发球。关键的是，尽管旋转是人类竞技比赛中的重要组成部分，但它的作用往往被忽视。)”以及第三段“Ace, a table tennis robot developed by Sony, a Japanese company, is specifically designed to break through these limitations.(日本索尼公司开发的乒乓球机器人Ace，正是为突破这些局限而专门设计的。)”可知，Ace解决了以往机器人使用不切实际的条件、忽略旋转的关键问题。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“In April 2025, Ace competed against five elite players (defined as competitive athletes with more than 10 years of intensive training) and two professional players (defined as athletes competing in officially recognized professional leagues, specifically the Japanese T. League), following International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) rules. Against the elite players, Ace secured three victories out of five matches, winning a total of seven games out of thirteen played. Against the professional players, Ace lost both matches, though it managed to win one game out of the seven played.(2025年4月，Ace按照国际乒乓球联合会（ITTF）的规则，与五名精英选手（定义为接受过10年以上强化训练的竞技运动员）和两名职业选手（定义为参加官方认可的职业联赛，特别是日本T联赛的运动员）进行了比赛。在对阵精英选手时，Ace在五场比赛中取得了三场胜利，在总共进行的十三局比赛中赢下了七局。在对阵职业选手时，Ace两场比赛均告负，不过在总共进行的七局比赛中赢下了一局。)”可知，本段主要介绍了Ace的比赛过程与结果。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Observing a shot played by Ace, Kinjiro Nakamura, a table tennis expert and participant in the 1992 Olympics, commented: ‘… no one else would have been able to do that. I didn’t think it was possible. But the fact that it was possible… means that there is a possibility that a human could do it too.’(乒乓球专家、1992年奥运会参赛选手中村金次郎在观看Ace打出的一球后评论道：‘……换做其他人根本打不出这样的球。我原以为这是不可能的。但现在它做到了……这意味着人类也有可能做到。’)”可知，该评论表达了对Ace技术表现的高度认可，目的是突出Ace的惊人表现。 D Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a secret world of light. While bioluminescence — the ability of living things to produce their own light — has long interested scientists, a lesser-known phenomenon called bio-fluorescence (生物荧光) is now stealing the spotlight. Bio-fluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green, red, or orange. Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow. This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions. In the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) of the Pacific, researchers observed corals sending out green under blue light. “It’s a dance of partnership guided by light,” explains marine biologist Dr. Kenji Nakamura. Without this interaction, coral bleaching (白化) — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up. Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid (短尾乌贼). When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape. Dr. Emily Carter who led the study notes, “This is evolution’s version of a smoke screen — but far more shining.” The discovery of GFP — green fluorescent protein (绿色荧光蛋白) — in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science. Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s. “GFP is a window into the brain’s hidden workings,” says brain scientist Dr. Maria Gonzalez. Scientists are now copying bio-fluorescence to develop sustainable technologies. For example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting, and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging. “Nature’s designs are blueprints for human innovation,” says materials scientist Dr. Raj Patel. Yet mysteries remain. Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered, their purposes still unclear. As submarines dive deeper, each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show, proving that the ocean’s depths still guard ancient secrets. 12. How is bio-fluorescence different from bioluminescence? A. It is drawing less attention. B. It produces brighter lights. C. It needs an outside light source. D. It makes better use of chemical reactions. 13. What can we learn about the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. They both describe light-based hunting methods. B. They both explain the formation of a close partnership. C. They both highlight potential threats to the environment. D. They both show survival functions of bio-fluorescence. 14. What is the main use of GFP in science? A. To protect corals from bleaching. B. To create more efficient LED lights. C. To treat the disease of Alzheimer’s. D. To visualize cells for better observation. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Hidden Light Show B. Bio-fluorescence: Nature’s Display of Beauty C. Bioluminescence: Ocean’s Ancient Magic Power D. Bioluminescence: Colourful Window into Ocean Secret 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了海洋中的生物荧光现象及绿色荧光蛋白在科学领域的应用以及基于生物荧光的可持续技术发展，最后指出海洋中仍有许多关于生物荧光的未解之谜。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, bio-fluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow.(与通过化学反应产生光的生物发光不同，生物荧光依赖于吸收外界的光来发光。)”可知，生物荧光需要外部光源才能发光，这是它与生物发光的核心区别。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Without this interaction, coral bleaching (白化) — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up.(如果没有这种相互作用，珊瑚白化 —— 珊瑚生态系统面临的一个重大威胁 —— 将会加速。)”可知，第三段以珊瑚礁为例，说明了珊瑚的生物荧光能减缓白化速度；根据第四段“When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape.(当受到猎人的威胁时，它会释放出一团生物荧光墨汁。突然迸发的亮光会迷惑攻击者，为乌贼争取宝贵的几秒钟时间来逃跑。)”可知，第四段以短尾乌贼为例，介绍了它的生物荧光墨水能迷惑捕食者。结合第二段“This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions.(这种自然的灯光秀不仅仅是为了美观；它还具有重要的生存功能。)”可知，这两个例子均是为了说明生物荧光的生存功能。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s.(研究人员意识到绿色荧光蛋白可以用来标记特定细胞，使看不见的过程变得可见。如今，它在大脑研究中照亮神经细胞，帮助绘制阿尔茨海默病等疾病中的神经连接。)”可知，GFP在科学中的主要用途是标记细胞使其可视化，便于观察研究。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a secret world of light. (海洋表面之下隐藏着一个秘密的光世界)”和最后一段“each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show”(每次探险都揭示了这场美丽的水下灯光秀中的新角色)”及文章内容可知，全文围绕“生物荧光”展开，介绍了其原理、生存功能、科学应用和未解之谜，故“生物荧光：大自然隐藏的灯光秀”最能概括全文内容。 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。 Life is full of setbacks, and learning to navigate them is a central task of growing up. Yet many young people today find themselves unprepared when things go wrong. “Psychological resilience” refers to the ability to recover from difficulties and adapt well to adversity. ____16____ Instead of seeing it as a fixed trait that some people have and others lack, experts now view resilience as a set of skills that anyone can learn. Allow yourself to feel what you feel. When faced with a failure, the natural instinct is often to push away unpleasant emotions — to tell ourselves “I shouldn’t be this upset” or “I need to just get over it.” ____17____ Research shows that acknowledging and naming our emotions reduces their intensity. Instead of saying “I’m a failure,” say “I feel disappointed and frustrated right now.” This simple shift creates space between identity and emotion. Reframe the narrative. The stories we tell ourselves about our setbacks matter enormously. A student who fails an exam can label the experience as “proof that I’m not smart enough,” or reframe it as “a signal that I need to adjust my study methods.” ____18____ The first narrative leads to helplessness; the second opens the door to growth. Build a support network. Resilience is not a solo achievement. When young people feel they have to face their struggles alone, small setbacks can spiral into major crises. ____19____ Reaching out — whether to friends, family, or a trusted teacher — can transform a burden into a shared challenge. Connection reminds us that we are not broken; we are simply human. Practice self-compassion. ____20____ Treating oneself with the same kindness one would offer a close friend is not self-indulgence — it is wisdom. Research by Dr. Kristin Neff has shown that self-compassion, far from making people lazy, actually increases motivation and the willingness to try again. The path to resilience is not about becoming invulnerable, but about learning to bend without breaking. A. The key word here is “learn.” B. This, however, is often misleading. C. That is why high achievers never experience any self-doubt. D. The difference between these two interpretations is enormous. E. Curiously enough, the hardest person to forgive is often ourselves. F. Therefore, building resilience means avoiding negative emotions at all costs. G. Having someone who simply listens without judgment can be deeply healing. 【答案】16. A 17. B 18. D 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了培养心理韧性的四个具体方法：接纳情绪、重构叙事、建立支持网络以及练习自我同情。 【16题详解】 根据前文““Psychological resilience” refers to the ability to recover from difficulties and adapt well to adversity.(“心理韧性”指的是从困难中恢复并良好适应逆境的能力。)”以及后文“Instead of seeing it as a fixed trait that some people have and others lack, experts now view resilience as a set of skills that anyone can learn.(专家现在不再将其视为某些人拥有而另一些人缺乏的固定特质，而是将其视为任何人都可以学习的一套技能。)”可知，前后文讨论了心理韧性的定义及其性质的变化，后文强调了“learn”（学习）这一概念，指出韧性是可习得的技能。选项A“The key word here is “learn.”(这里的关键词是“学习”。)”承上启下。 【17题详解】 根据前文“When faced with a failure, the natural instinct is often to push away unpleasant emotions — to tell ourselves “I shouldn’t be this upset” or “I need to just get over it.”(当面对失败时，本能反应往往是推开不愉快的情绪——告诉自己“我不应该这么难过”或者“我需要赶紧克服它”。)”以及后文“Research shows that acknowledging and naming our emotions reduces their intensity.(研究表明，承认并确定我们的情绪可以降低其强度。)”可知，前文描述的是人们通常会回避或压抑情绪的本能做法，而后文通过研究结果指出了承认情绪的积极作用，说明前文的本能做法是不可取的。选项B“This, however, is often misleading.(然而，这往往具有误导性。)”起到了转折作用，对前文提到的“推开不愉快情绪”的做法进行了否定，引出后文关于正确处理情绪的建议。 【18题详解】 根据前文“A student who fails an exam can label the experience as “proof that I’m not smart enough,” or reframe it as “a signal that I need to adjust my study methods.”(一个考试不及格的学生可以把这种经历标记为“证明我不够聪明”，或者重新构建为“我需要调整学习方法的信号”。)”以及后文“The first narrative leads to helplessness; the second opens the door to growth.(第一种叙事会导致无助；第二种则打开了成长的大门。)”可知，前文列举了面对挫折的两种不同解读方式，后文进一步分析了这两种方式带来的截然不同的后果。选项D“The difference between these two interpretations is enormous.(这两种解读之间的差异是巨大的。)”承上启下。 【19题详解】 根据前文“When young people feel they have to face their struggles alone, small setbacks can spiral into major crises.(当年轻人觉得必须独自面对挣扎时，小小的挫折可能会快速上升为重大危机。)”以及后文“Reaching out — whether to friends, family, or a trusted teacher — can transform a burden into a shared challenge.(寻求帮助——无论是向朋友、家人还是值得信赖的老师——都可以将负担转化为共同的挑战。)”可知，前文指出了孤军奋战的危害，后文建议寻求外界帮助。选项G“Having someone who simply listens without judgment can be deeply healing.(有一个仅仅倾听而不加评判的人可以具有深度的治愈作用。)”承接了前文关于独自面对困难的话题，引出后文的寻求帮助，符合本段建立支持网络的话题。 【20题详解】 根据段落标题“Practice self-compassion. (练习自我同情。)”以及后文“Treating oneself with the same kindness one would offer a close friend is not self-indulgence — it is wisdom. (用对待密友的同样善意对待自己，这不是自我放纵——而是智慧。)”可知，本段主要讨论要对自己宽容、善意。选项E“Curiously enough, the hardest person to forgive is often ourselves. (奇怪的是，最难原谅的人往往是我们自己。)”指出了人们往往对自己最为苛刻的普遍现象，这与段落主题“自我同情”紧密相关，同时也说明了要练习自我同情的原因，引出下文。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 On August 26, a massive mud-rock slide hit northern Nepal after days of non-stop heavy rainfall.

This became a challenging task as the sports teacher was unwilling to initiate anything other than traditional sports, such as cricket, rugby and basketball. I was not a sports teacher and I had never played handball before. In fact, I was an English language teacher before assuming my post as vice principal. However, I was determined to start this game at any cost. Handball is a fascinating game which combines speed, strength, flexibility, technical precision, skill and teamwork. As a new sport, I foresaw it as a golden opportunity for our school as we had never secured a place in traditional sports. The boys were immediately interested and 40 students aged between 13 and 19 signed up to play. I had the support of their parents. Ultimately, I managed to convince the sports teacher to agree. However, we still needed a coach. Heshan Pradeep, a St Anthony’s old boy who graduated some nine years earlier, volunteered to coach the team. He was a member of the Air Force handball team and was happy to take on the role in his free time. He assigned exercises and drills to do in his absence. Although handball is an indoor game, we trained outdoors as our school had limited facilities. Training started early in the morning before class and continued after school until it was dark. The boys loved the game and were enthusiastic about training. “This handball craze will ruin your studies!” complained some of the teachers in an attempt to discourage the game. Whenever the boys were late for class after morning practice, they were scolded or punished by their teachers, but I was able to keep them cheerful. After three months of intense training, we were able to send an under-19s boys’ team to compete with 50 other schools at the first all-island school handball tournament held in Colombo—the country’s richest city. 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。 However, the Handball Association rejected our application because we weren’t association members. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The victory sent the whole school into festive mode. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, the Handball Association rejected our application because we weren’t association members. Heshan and I decided to talk with the association, insisting any school on the island should be welcomed. Thankfully, some members also supported us and finally we were allowed to participate. The competition was fierce, as the Colombo students considered it a disgrace to lose a match against boys from a rural village school, saying they wouldn’t allow the cup to be taken out of Colombo. However,our boys played remarkably well and the team’s moves were technically perfect. Through tireless efforts, they fought all the way to the championship. The victory sent the whole school into festive mode. There was a ceremony to welcome us back. A large banner was hung at the school gate. With colorful balloons released into the sky, the students cheered and jumped with wild joy. The teachers, just as thrilled as the students, joined in the celebration with beaming smiles and contagious enthusiasm. Celebrating the victory was most deserved. We had overcome so many challenges and the players had dedicated so much towards this win, I always had a dream that handball could become a unifying force, bringing students and teachers together, and inspiring everyone to strive for greatness. Heshan and I felt immensely honored to have fulfilled that dream. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。我是斯里兰卡一所学校的副校长，极力主张在学校推广手球运动，但是遭到老师们的不赞同。但是男孩们感兴趣，“我”得到了他们父母的支持，最终“我”设法说服体育老师同意了，并找到一个教练。经过三个月的高强度训练，“我们”派出了一支19岁以下的男子球队，与其他50所学校参加了在科伦坡举行的首届全岛学校手球锦标赛。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“然而，手球协会拒绝了我们的申请，因为我们不是协会成员。”可知，第一段可以描写被拒绝后“我”的行动和学生们在比赛中的表现。 ②由第二段句首内容“胜利使全校沉浸在节日的气氛中。”可知，第二段可以描写胜利归来后的庆祝活动和“我”的感受。 2.续写线索：被拒绝—劝说—参赛—获奖—归来—庆祝—感触 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide/ determine ②与某人交谈：talk with sb./ have a conversation with sb. ③支持：support/ sustain 情绪类 ①欢呼：cheer/ hurray ②快乐：joy/ happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Thankfully, some members also supported us and finally we were allowed to participate.( 运用了一般过去时的被动语态) 【高分句型2】The competition was fierce, as the Colombo students considered it a disgrace to lose a match against boys from a rural village school, saying they wouldn’t allow the cup to be taken out of Colombo.
