A few months after my son was born,I read Rachel Carson's essay The Sense of Wonder,which
offered suggestions for building connections between children and nature,something I hoped to do with
my son.
Carson never had any children of her own,but in The Sense of Wonder,she shared memories of
time spent with her young nephew:a nighttime visit to the ocean,a rainy walk in the woods,and
listening to soft whispers of wind and insects.She designed the work to be a kind of instruction manual
(for parents,assuring them that even if they didn't have professional wildlife knowledge,they
could work to help their kid develop a sense of awe for nature.
According to Carson,a child's world is fresh,new and beautiful,full of wonder and excitement.
Sadly,for most people,the true instinct (for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring fades and may
even disappear before adulthood.Carson suggests,"Exploring nature with your child is largely a matter
3
of becoming receptive to what lies all around you.It is learning to use your eyes,ears,and fingertips,
opening up the disused channels of sensory impression."
I wanted my little baby to experience that fresh wonder.One quiet night,I carried my baby outdoors
far from city lights.The sight of the stars washed across our faces like soft light.We looked quietly into
the night sky.I waited until my son saw the stars,really saw them.Something seemed to possess him-
no words,no gestures,only the raw wonder of sceing.Finally,he lifted his small arm and pointed to the
sky,turning his amazed face to mine,as if to say,"Have you seen this,Mama?"
My son was young,barely a year old,but I hoped somehow,if and when I was finally lost to him,he
might still treasure the gift from his mama and be able to feel his connection with nature in the soft
brown of the garden's soil and in the stars in the open night sky I showed him when he was just a baby.
24.What is the main purpose of Carson's essay?
A.To provide practical guidance.
B.To share parenting hardships.
C.To restore children's lost instincts.
D.To raise environmental awareness.
25.What does the star-watching experience mainly illustrate?
A.Silent nights inspire lasting awe.
B.Nature fuels kids'inborn wonder.
C.Shared moments build family ties.
D.Watching stars generates curiosity.
26.What did the author envision for her son in the last paragraph?
A.Possessing gardening skills.
B.Remaining bonded to nature.
C.Returning to nature when lost.
D.Treasuring childhood memories.
27.What is the most suitable title for the text?
A.A Mother's Gift
B.A Book of Wonder
C.Adventures in the Wild
D.Carson's Advice for Parents

Feeling thirsty?Drawing clean water directly from the air is possible,as even extremely dry regions
contain some moisture(水汽).Over the past few years,researchers have created sponge-like(海绵状的)
materials that make "atmospheric water harvesting"(AWH)possible by absorbing moisture.However,
recovering the trapped water usually involves heat and a long wait.Most current systems rely on sunlight
to warm these materials.This slow step can take many hours or even stretch into days.
To break this bottleneck,MIT engineers Ikra Shuvo and Svetlana Boriskina identified a much faster
method.Instead of heating the water-absorbing materials to release water,they use high-frequency
ultrasonic (vibrations to shake the moisture loose.These sound waves are precisely tuned to
break the weak bonds holding water molecules (in place.This targeted disturbance creates enough
force to release the water,shaking it out in small drops.
The new approach elegantly bypasses the materials'unyielding nature."Any material that is very
good at absorbing water doesn't want to part with it,"explains Boriskina."So you normally need to put a
lot of energy into pulling water out."With ultrasound,this process is completely transformed.Lab tests
show this method is about 45 times more efficient than traditional heating,freeing the trapped water in
mere minutes.
This breakthrough overturns the assumption that AWH systems must absorb moisture overnight and
depend on passive sunlight during the day.Powered by a small solar cell,which supplies electricity and
also acts as a sensor to detect when the material is wet,the system activates automatically whenever
enough water has gathered,allowing the setup to cycle day and night.
The project's ultimate purpose goes far beyond laboratory efficiency.Boriskina notes it could
provide a reliable source of drinking water for remote communities lacking freshwater.As global water
4
crises worsen,this innovation offers a ray of hope,which might be a life-saving solution in the thinnest
of air.
28.What does "this bottleneck"mentioned in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The lack of water in dry regions.
B.The huge cost of current devices.
C.The slow process of releasing water.
D.The poor performance of the materials.
29.How do the ultrasound waves releasc water from the materials?
A.By heating the watery materials.
B.By overcoming the trapping force
C.By breaking water into small drops
D.By changing the materials'property.
30.What activates the new device automatically?
A.An electronic sensor.
B.A water cycling setup
C.Insufficient water absorption.
D.Continuous sunlight exposure.
31.What does Boriskina highlight regarding the project in the last paragraph?
A.Its further research.
B.Its practical potential.
C.Its current limitations.
D.Its technical improvements.

Partying the night before a big exam.Preparing at the last minute for a work presentation.Running a
5K in a heavy Halloween costume.All are examples of what psychologists call "self-handicapping"-
creating obstacles to success to protect one's reputation."Much previous research has explained it as a
matter of personality,said Yang Xiang,a psychology researcher.
Xiang and her co-authors have designed a mathematical model of how the phenomenon works
socially.Their theory suggests people often judge someone's competence from only one or two
performances.So,if a person expects to be judged,creating an obstacle can give failure another
explanation.In this way,self-handicapping is an attempt to game those judgments."You're doing this
because it works,"Xiang said.
To test the theory,the researchers created a quiz-show experiment in which participants could
choose how their performance would be judged.20 questions were provided,and 8 correct answers
meant a pass.Some chose to be judged on all 20 questions,while others on a random subset of 10.
Choosing the random subset created uncertainty and offered a possible excuse for failure,making it a
form of self-handicapping.
As the model confirmed,the behavior occurred most frequently among those least likely to fail-or
to succeed.When self-handicappers succeeded,judges rated them especially highly.The behavior also
softened judgments of those who failed.However,this protection weakened when the strategy was seen
through,suggesting it worked best when judges were less aware of it.
Previous studies show self-handicapping can weaken educational goals.It has been linked with lower
self-esteem ()lower motivation,and declining student performance.The new research suggests that
a shift in educators'focus may help.When students are driven by the pressure to look smart,they remain
highly likely to self-handicap.Instead,focusing on students'progress over the rankings can further
reduce their need to create excuses."By understanding the psychology behind this behavior,"Xiang
noted,"we hope this research reveals ways to prevent harmful academic self-handicapping."
32.What may be the intention behind the behaviors in Paragraph 1?
A.To draw attention from others.
B.To express unique personalities.
C.To relieve anxiety before an event.
D.To make excuses for possible failure.
33.What does the underlined word "game"in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Test.
B.Follow.
C.Influence.
D.Record.
34.What can be concluded from the experiment?
A.Success depends on appropriate strategies.
B.Self-handicapping mainly benefits failures
C.Self-handicapping can protect one's image.
D.Average players are likeliest to self-handicap.
35.What do the researchers suggest educators do?
A.Adopt higher standards.
B.Value individual growth.
C.Focus on measurable results.
D.Stress success in tough tasks.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We often stop noticing things we've grown used to,as a side effect of our brains protecting us from
sensory overload.Many of us have had the experience of going through daily information without truly
registering familiar content.Our minds move past these moments not because we lack care,but because
of an evolutionarily useful trait called habituation.36
This reduced sensitivity serves an important purpose.Without this mental shortcut,we would be
constantly disturbed by endless background signals and eventually drowned by too many things around us
For instance,while working in a cafe.we may fail to notice background music or steady lighting until we
pay attention to them on purpose.Our brains quietly tune out stable signals to free up resources.
37The brains of unborn babies can already habituate to repeated light and sound stimuli
)learning to ignore familiar signals and prioritize new changes.
Habituation brings many hidden benefits.It helps people adapt to continuous sadness or long-term
discomfort,making tough situations more bearable.38When the excitement of a new job
fades,this declining satisfaction pushes people to seek growth and explore new possibilities.
39 Habituation may make us ignore warning signs like ongoing pain,delaying medical
treatment.People may gradually get used to inappropriate or harmful behavior,accepting things that
should never be tolerated.
Fortunately,there are practical ways to reverse (habituation and regain sensitivity.
40 Changing daily routes,rearranging furniture or alternating sitting positions can bring fresh
stimulation.These tiny adjustments keep our brains out of fixed patterns and help us stay observant.
A.It also drives personal progress.
B.Small changes in daily life can refresh our senses.
C.It makes repeated experiences less noticeable over time.
D.So overcoming negative habituation is especially urgent.
E.Without habituation,we would lose our ability to focus.
F.Remarkably,this adaptive ability exists even before birth.
G.This automatic mechanism can also hold us back,however.

A Healthy Way to Relieve Stress
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ollie was a backup in the school soccer team,the Falcons,at Ridgeview High.After school.he
would sit by his grandma,a gifted needlewoman,as she turned the colorful threads into scarves and
blankets.In his family,knitting had been passed down for generations,because it was not merely a skill,
but an art of stitching(针法,缝纫)that carried family values of patience,care and unity..
Today was the championship match between the Falcons and their long-time rival,the Thunderbolts.
In the locker room,Jason pulled a bright ball of thread from Ollie's open bag,joking,"Hey,our knitting
star."The others burst out laughing,elbowing each other with amusement.Ollie pretended that it didn't
bother him,but his ears burned."Stop it,"said Diego,the team captain,shooting Jason a look."I'm not
wrong.Just girl stuff,"Jason insisted,casting the ball back into Ollie's bag with a playful shrug.
It was a tough match and the game was tied.Ollie sat on the bench,his hands holding the edge
tightly.Though he wasn't playing,his eyes followed every pass and kick,heart racing with each move.
He could feel the excitement and tension on the field,wishing he could help his team.Just before the
final whistle was blown,Jason passed Diego the ball.Diego took the chance and kicked hard.Goal!
Cheers erupted.The Falcons won!
Just as the coach gathered everyone for the team photo,disaster struck.Two dogs slipped through
the open gate and charged across the field,barking wildly.Before anyone could stop them,they leapt at
the team flag and ripped (it in half."We need that for the photo!"the coach exclaimed.Jason
sighed,"We're finished!"The others rushed toward the torn flag,some shaking their heads in frustration
while others kicked at the grass in helplessness.Seeing this mess,Ollie bit his lips,with his stomach
tightening and hands holding on to the knitting kit in his backpack tightly
注意:(1)续写词数应为150左右;(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
