Lyu Yuxia, 54, known online as Yimeng Second Sister, got the name for being the second child in her family. With rough hands and a sunburnt face, she has won unexpected fame online for her poems. “I’m just an ordinary farmer, but words have always been with me,” she said. In spring 2023, Lyu climbed a mountain to pick Chinese toon sprouts (香椿芽). Seeing peach blossoms covering hillsides, she was deeply touched. She took out her phone, held a bunch of sprouts, and recited one of her notebook-written poems. The Douyin video brought her 100,000 followers within a week. Several of her field-created poems soon gained widespread popularity. In one piece, she compared falling snow to icing sugar and salt dropped from the sky. “I was a wrinkled farm woman in my fifties and felt insecure at first,” Lyu recalled. “Now poetry gives me courage to be myself.” Some commenters argued her poetic description of rural life was too idyllic, ignoring farming hardships. Pointing to her weathered face, she replied that hardship marks every farmer’s face. “Sun, wind and hard work are unavoidable. But I choose to record hope and expectation. Each spring we plow and sow, uncertain about the weather. Still, sowing seeds carries our wish for good harvests. It is faith in tomorrow, which I write to celebrate.” Her love for literature began in childhood, when her father told her stories. At 15, she worked in a textile factory. Against noisy machinery, she recited memorized poems by Li Bai and Su Dongpo. She kept notebooks full of magazine excerpts and her own lines. She has started livestreaming from her fruit farm, not only selling her peaches but also helping fellow villagers market their produce. On the busiest days, she livestreams for nine hours straight, sometimes skipping meals. “When I see the orders pile up and help people sell their goods, there’s nothing happier than that,” she said. 4. How did Lyu attract huge online attention within a week? A. By telling old folk stories. B. By sharing her own poems. C. By recording peach blossoms. D. By livestreaming local produce. 5. What does the underlined word “idyllic” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Peaceful. B. Practical. C. Painstaking. D. Complicated. 6. Why does Lyu keep livestreaming from her fruit farm? A. To present the beauty of rural life. B. To promote local agricultural products. C. To attract more followers with her poems. D. To share her farming experience with viewers. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. Poems about rural life gain popularity. B. Farming life provides poetic inspiration. C. A farmer-poet finds her voice through poetry. D. A former factory worker becomes a farmer-poet. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了山东蒙阴农民吕玉霞（沂蒙二妹）因田间朗诵原创诗歌走红网络。面对质疑，她坚持书写生活希望。她热爱文学，还果园直播带货，帮助乡亲销售农产品，用诗歌找到了属于自己的声音。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In spring 2023, Lyu climbed a mountain to pick Chinese toon sprouts (香椿芽). Seeing peach blossoms covering hillsides, she was deeply touched. She took out her phone, held a bunch of sprouts, and recited one of her notebook-written poems. The Douyin video brought her 100, 000 followers within a week.(2023年春天，吕玉霞上山采摘香椿芽。看到漫山遍野的桃花，她深受触动。她拿出手机，手持一把香椿芽，朗诵了一首写在笔记本上的诗。这条抖音视频一周内为她收获十万粉丝)”可知，吕玉霞是通过分享自己创作的诗歌在一周之内获得大量网络关注。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Some commenters argued her poetic description of rural life was too idyllic, ignoring farming hardships. Pointing to her weathered face, she replied that hardship marks every farmer’s face.(一些评论者认为，她诗歌里描绘的乡村生活太过_______，忽略农耕的艰辛。她指着饱经风霜的脸庞回应，艰辛刻在每个农民的脸上)”可知，评论者认为吕玉霞诗歌中描述的生活太过宁静美好，idyllic意为：安宁美好的、田园般的。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“She has started livestreaming from her fruit farm, not only selling her peaches but also helping fellow villagers market their produce.(她还在果园开启直播，不仅售卖自家桃子，还帮乡亲们推销农产品)”可知，吕玉霞直播是为推广当地农产品。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Lyu Yuxia, 54, known online as Yimeng Second Sister, got the name for being the second child in her family. With rough hands and a sunburnt face, she has won unexpected fame online for her poems. “I’m just an ordinary farmer, but words have always been with me,” she said.(54岁的吕玉霞，网名 “沂蒙二妹”，这个名字源于她在家中排行老二。她双手粗糙，脸庞黝黑，凭借诗作意外在网络走红。她说：“我只是一名普通农民，但文字一直陪伴着我。”)”以及全文讲述农民诗人吕玉霞，在田间写诗走红网络，用诗歌表达对生活的希望，同时直播带货帮扶村民。核心是农民诗人借诗歌表达自我。 C Neptune grass is generally regarded as the most ecologically important seagrass and shallow-water habitat in the Mediterranean Sea (地中海). It provides living space for nearly one quarter of local sea creatures and plays a key part in building the natural environment. Unluckily, it suffered a severe decline during the 20th century, and there have been efforts to actively restore it. Yet Neptune grass grows very slowly and has proven vulnerable to pollution and other threats. Around Marseille, a coastal city with about two million people, Neptune grass was badly destroyed over many years. The 1980s was its worst period. Dirty water and industrial waste kept flowing into the bay. During the 1970s subway building, dug-out earth was used to make man-made beaches and sea walls. Lots of seagrass was directly covered by earth. Floating dirt darkened seawater, robbing the plant of sunlight needed for underwater growth. From the mid-to-late 1980s, Marseille used a new wastewater treatment factory to clear most harmful substances. The French government made strict environmental rules, limited coastal building and protected Neptune grass by law. Scientists rechecked two 36-square-meter observation areas set up in 1985. By 2025, one’s plant cover rose from 47% to 94%; the other’s increased from 6% to 81%. Forty-year-long records showed great natural regrowth of local seagrass. Active man-made projects tend to receive more funding and more attention than passive restoration, but aren’t necessarily cost-effective. Active restoration has been tested and implemented for more than half a century, but has most often resulted in limited success in terms of plant survival. Removing human-caused drivers of degradation is the key. While this study was about seagrasses, the same principle could be applied to coral reefs and other ecosystems. “We cannot just play God and plant what we destroy. We just need to calm down on the way we are using nature, and we need to respect nature,” said lead researcher Patrick Astruch. 8. What made Neptune grass hit its lowest record around Marseille? A. Global sea-level rise. B. Construction of the subway. C. Human-caused pollution. D. Lack of natural sunlight. 9. What did the forty-year-long records reveal about Neptune grass? A. Its fast speed of loss. B. Its successful recovery. C. Its dependence on new planting. D. Its increasingly serious decline. 10. Why does the author question active restoration? A. It is strictly monitored. B. It is insufficiently funded. C. It receives little public attention. D. It costs much but may achieve little. 11. What is implied in Astruch’s words? A. Raise more money. B. Be humble to nature. C. Lend a hand to nature. D. Balance other ecosystems. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了马赛附近海王草曾遭严重破坏，后通过治理污染实现自然恢复，强调减少人为破坏才是关键。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The 1980s was its worst period. Dirty water and industrial waste kept flowing into the bay. During the 1970s subway building, dug-out earth was used to make man-made beaches and sea walls. Lots of seagrass was directly covered by earth. Floating dirt darkened seawater, robbing the plant of sunlight needed for underwater growth.(20世纪80年代是其最糟糕的时期。脏水和工业废料不断流入海湾。20世纪70年代修建地铁期间，挖出的泥土被用来建造人工海滩和海堤。大量海草被泥土直接覆盖。漂浮的污垢使海水变暗，剥夺了这种植物在水下生长所需的阳光。)”可知，海王草在马赛附近降至历史最低纪录，原因是人为污染。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Forty-year-long records showed great natural regrowth of local seagrass.(长达40年的记录表明当地海草的自然恢复效果十分显著。)”可知，这40年的记录表明海王草得到了成功的恢复。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Active man-made projects tend to receive more funding and more attention than passive restoration, but aren’t necessarily cost-effective. Active restoration has been tested and implemented for more than half a century, but has most often resulted in limited success in terms of plant survival.(主动的人为项目往往比被动恢复获得更多资金和关注，但不一定具有成本效益。主动恢复已经测试和实施了半个多世纪，但在植物存活方面往往收效有限。)”可知，作者质疑主动恢复是因为它花费多但可能成效甚微。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‌“We cannot just play God and plant what we destroy. We just need to calm down on the way we are using nature, and we need to respect nature,” said lead researcher Patrick Astruch.(“我们不能扮演上帝，去种植我们破坏的东西。我们只需要冷静下来，在利用自然的方式上应当有所克制，并且我们需要尊重自然，”首席研究员帕特里克·阿斯特鲁赫说。)”可知，阿斯特鲁赫的话暗示人类应当对自然保持谦卑。 D Language expresses countless meanings through small word changes, but grammar varies across languages. Neuroscientists(神经科学家) have long wondered whether bilingual speakers use different brain systems for different languages. A study in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that the brain uses the same underlying neural machinery across languages. To understand the basis of grammar in bilingual brains, Blanco-Elorrieta, a NYU neuroscientist, recruited 23 highly proficient speakers of both English and Spanish. They mapped the participants’ brain activity using a non-invasive technique called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which measures the tiny magnetic fields produced when nerve cells send electrical signals to one another. MEG imaging tracked the bilingual speakers’ brains millisecond by millisecond as participants were asked to produce singular and plural noun forms in both languages. They also tested cognates — words in different languages that share a common meaning, spelling and pronunciation because of a similar origin — as well as made-up words, like “paple”. These made-up words allowed the researchers to investigate whether the brain can apply grammatical rules without depending on a word’s meaning or belonging to a particular language. Similar brain activity patterns emerged when both languages were used. Cognates didn’t enhance the connection, and made-up words didn’t weaken it. This suggests the brain may represent grammatical operations themselves rather than shared vocabulary. The findings provide strong evidence that one brain mechanism drives both languages. Still, researchers aren’t sure how the findings about the single grammatical engine might generalize to language pairs that differ more substantially than English and Spanish, Bozic, a cognitive (认知的) neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge, tells The Times. Follow-up research should pursue this path, the study authors note in the paper. The findings could have practical implications for ambitious polyglots (通晓数种语言的人), since they suggest that the brain doesn’t need to build each new language system from scratch. “From the perspective of language learning, if it is true that there is one universal mechanism for language, then it follows that it may be easier for you to learn new languages” if you already know one, Blanco-Elorrieta says in a separate statement. 12. What was the function of MEG in the research? A. Recording brain activity. B. Generating magnetic signals. C. Comparing grammar systems. D. Sending electric signals. 13. Why did the researchers use made-up words like “paple” in the study? A. To spot language talents. B. To track language differences. C. To identify a cognitive mechanism. D. To enrich a language. 14. What is the focus of Bozic’s comment? A. The reliability of the research method. B. A possible direction for future study. C. Differences between the two languages. D. The practical value of the current findings. 15. What does the study suggest about language learning? A. Knowing one language may help with another. B. Each new language requires a separate system. C. Grammar learning requires a large vocabulary. D. Language similarity determines how grammar works. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，双语者处理不同语言语法时共用同一套大脑神经机制，但该结论未必适用于差异更大的语言对。这一发现有助于解释多语言学习。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They mapped the participants’ brain activity using a non-invasive technique called magnetoecephalography (MEG), which measures the tiny magnetic fields produced when nerve cells send electrical signals to one another.(他们使用一种叫做脑磁图（MEG）的非侵入性技术绘制了参与者的大脑活动图，这种技术可以测量神经细胞相互发送电信号时产生的微小磁场。)”可知，MEG在研究中的作用是记录大脑活动。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These made-up words allowed the researchers to investigate whether the brain can apply grammatical rules without depending on a word’s meaning or belonging to a particular language.( 这些造出来的词使研究人员能够调查大脑是否可以在不依赖词义或属于特定语言的情况下应用语法规则。)”可知，研究人员使用造词是为了探究大脑处理语法的内在认知机制。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Still, researchers aren’t sure how the findings about the single grammatical engine might generalize to language pairs that differ more substantially than English and Spanish, Bozic, a cognitive(认知的) neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge, tells The Times. Follow-up research should pursue this path, the study authors note in the paper.( 然而，剑桥大学认知神经科学家Bozic向《泰晤士报》表示，研究人员尚不确定关于单一语法引擎的研究发现能否推广到英语和西班牙语之外差异更大的语言对。论文作者指出，后续研究应沿着这一方向展开。)”可推知，Bozic评论的焦点是提出了一个未来研究的可能方向。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““From the perspective of language learning, if it is true that there is one universal mechanism for language, then it follows that it may be easier for you to learn new languages” if you already know one, Blanco-Elorrieta says in a separate statement.( Blanco-Elorrieta在另一次声明中表示：“从语言学习的角度来看，如果确实存在一种通用的语言机制，那么如果你已经掌握了一种语言，学习新语言可能会更容易。”)”可知，这项研究表明掌握一种语言可能有助于学习另一种语言。 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。 What image comes to mind when you think of a person in their 30s? You might envision someone with a successful career, a big house and cute children. However, the development of adulthood has changed over the past several decades.____16____ Ages 30 to 45 are now“the rush hour of life”. Today people around the world wait later than ever to marry and have kids.____17____ They manage to move ahead in their careers while handling intense responsibilities of caring for young children. Researchers propose the term“established adulthood” to distinguish these years as the most intense and demanding years of adult life. In midlife — ages 45 to 60 — adults usually reach their peak career earnings and status.____18____ New responsibilities may arise with grandchildren and with aging parents who need more assistance. Overall, mental health tends to decline in this period, with reports of depression and anxiety increasing. In the U. S., midlife well-being has declined notably since2000, especially among working-class adults affected by the information-technology economy. ____19____ Although life after 60 was traditionally viewed as a time of certain decline, improvements in nutrition and health care have enabled people to stay healthier for longer. Physical issues do arise with age, but more people maintain good health through their 60s by keeping a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Moreover, regular exercise promotes both physical and mental sharpness. Life satisfaction also rises as people gain freedom to choose work they enjoy or stop working altogether to spend time with loved ones. How people think about stages of human development matters because thinking shapes expectations and the way experiences are interpreted. Lots of exciting new findings about adult development point to the importance of rethinking previous theories, assumptions and stereotypes (刻板印象) about the course of adult life.____20____ A. However, life can become complicated again. B. But then couples typically face the double challenge. C. This is because they focus on carving out their careers. D. These shifts call for a fresh look at adult development. E. Such updates are essential in understanding the journey of life. F. In contrast, adults in later life are doing better like never before. G. Adults from 60 to 75 are free from burdens but live a relatively lonely life. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了成年不同阶段的新特点：30–45岁是人生忙碌期，45–60岁中年压力大，60岁后身心状态变好。我们要打破刻板印象，重新认识成年发展历程。 【16题详解】 前文“However, the development of adulthood has changed over the past several decades.( 然而，过去几十年间，成年期的发展已经发生了变化。)”提到过去几十年里成年期的发展已经发生了变化，D项“These shifts call for a fresh look at adult development.(这些转变要求我们重新审视成年发展阶段。)”中“These shifts”恰好对应前文的“changed”，同时自然引出下文对不同成年阶段的全新解读，逻辑连贯。 【17题详解】 前文“Today people around the world wait later than ever to marry and have kids.( 今天，世界各地的人们比以往任何时候都更晚结婚和生孩子。)”指出如今人们晚婚晚育，后文“They manage to move ahead in their careers while handling intense responsibilities of caring for young children.( 他们一边努力在事业上取得进步，一边承担起照顾年幼孩子的繁重责任。)”提到他们既要推进事业又要承担照顾孩子的重任。B项“But then couples typically face the double challenge.(但随后夫妻通常会面临双重挑战。)”中“double challenge”精准对应后文“事业发展 + 育儿责任”的双重压力，衔接紧密。 【18题详解】 前文“In midlife— ages 45 to 60— adults usually reach their peak career earnings and status.( 中年阶段——即45至60岁之间——是成年人职业收入和地位达到顶峰的时期。)”提到中年人通常达到事业收入与地位的顶峰，后文“New responsibilities may arise with grandchildren and with aging parents who need more assistance.( 随着孙辈的出现以及需要更多照料的年迈父母，新的责任也可能随之产生。)”则指出他们会面临照顾孙辈、赡养父母的新责任，前后形成转折。A项“However, life can become complicated again.(然而，生活可能会再次变得复杂。)”承上启下，符合语境。 【19题详解】 上一段讲中年阶段心理健康下滑、压力增大，下文“Although life after 60 was traditionally viewed as a time of certain decline, improvements in nutrition and health care have enabled people to stay healthier for longer.( 尽管传统观念认为60岁以后的人生必然走向衰退，但营养和医疗保健的改善使人们能够更长久地保持健康。)”则阐述 60 岁后人群的健康与生活满意度反而提升，二者形成对比。F项“In contrast, adults in later life are doing better like never before.(相比之下，晚年的成年人过得比以往任何时候都好。)”总领全段，契合段落核心内容。 【20题详解】 前文“Lots of exciting new findings about adult development point to the importance of rethinking previous theories, assumptions and stereotypes(刻板印象) about the course of adult life.( 许多关于成人发展的令人兴奋的新发现指出了重新思考以前关于成人生活的理论、假设和刻板印象的重要性。)”提到关于成年发展的新发现表明，我们需要重新思考以往的理论、假设和刻板印象。E项“Such updates are essential in understanding the journey of life.(这些认知更新对于理解人生旅程至关重要。)”中“Such updates”对应前文的 “rethinking”，收束全文，升华主旨。 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。 It was 1 a. m. on Christmas morning, yet for Marisa Shumaker, the Christmas Eve task was far from finished.

We had been living in Melbourne, where we had a familiar circle of friends and family. In Healesville, however, we didn’t know a soul. It was just my husband, our two little children, our two dogs and me. I tried to get used to the new place, but often felt like an outsider. On my way to work, I passed the same quiet streets every day, yet hardly anyone greeted me. People seemed to have their own circles, and my life became a routine of home and work. I missed the familiar faces and easy conversations we had left behind in Melbourne. Although I lived in the town, I did not feel that I belonged. We hadn’t been there long when we all came down with the flu. We had aching bodies, high fevers and hardly enough strength to get out of bed. There was some food in the house, but not much. The kitchen was nearly empty, with only a few cans and an old pot (锅) by the stove. One day, I tried to drive to the shops, only to turn back halfway because I was too sick to drive safely. Things became worse when I realized that the dogs’ food was running out, too. “We have to feed the dogs,” I said helplessly. We were stuck, with no relatives nearby and no one we knew well enough to call. Then, unexpectedly, the phone rang. My husband answered it. It was Kathy, a woman from his new workplace whom I had never met. He had mentioned that she was always ready to lend a hand when someone was in need. She had somehow heard about our situation. After asking a few questions, she told my husband she would see what she could do. A little later, my husband told me Kathy was coming over. I was touched but puzzled. What could a woman I had never met possibly do for a family she hardly knew? Still, the thought that someone cared enough to help gave me a little hope. 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。 A few minutes later, we heard a knock at the door. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Several days later, when I had recovered enough to leave the house, I decided to return the empty pot. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few minutes later, we heard a knock at the door. My husband opened it, and there stood Kathy, holding a large pot and several bags. She smiled warmly. ‌“I heard you were all sick. I’ve brought some hot soup and a few things you might need.” She placed the pot on the stove and pulled out bread, milk, eggs, and a bag of dog food. My eyes filled with tears — she had thought of everything, even the dogs. Before leaving, she said, ‌“Just rest and get better.” That night, for the first time in weeks, we enjoyed a warm, home-cooked meal. A stranger’s kindness melted my loneliness away. Several days later, when I had recovered enough to leave the house, I decided to return the empty pot. I washed it carefully and filled it with homemade cookies as a small token of thanks. When Kathy opened the door, she looked surprised, then smiled. ‌“You didn’t have to do this,” she said. ‌“I was glad to help.” I told her how much her kindness had meant to us, and she invited me in for tea. That afternoon, we talked like old friends. I realized belonging doesn’t come from knowing many people — it comes from one warm heart reaching out. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“我”一家搬至Healesville后生病无助为线索展开，讲述了“我”随丈夫搬到陌生小镇，难以融入当地生活，随后全家患流感，食物和狗粮即将耗尽，又无人可求助。此时丈夫同事Kathy听说情况后主动来电，表示要上门帮忙。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写Kathy带着热汤和食物上门，连狗粮都考虑到了，全家吃上热饭，“我”感受到陌生人善意能融化孤独。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写“我”康复后去还锅并附上自制饼干致谢，Kathy邀请“我”喝茶，两人如老友般交谈，“我”领悟归属感来自一颗温暖的心主动伸出援手。 2. 续写线索：Kathy敲门送汤——带来食物狗粮——全家吃上热饭——还锅送饼干——Kathy邀喝茶——如老友交谈——感悟归属 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①归还：return/give back ②决定：decide/make up one’s mind 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished ②高兴的：glad/happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] My husband opened it, and there stood Kathy, holding a large pot and several bags.

B In Mengyin county, Shandong province, a special form of rural creativity is taking root in a farmer’s notebook. Lyu Yuxia, 54, known online as Yimeng Second Sister, got the name for being the second child in her family. With rough hands and a sunburnt face, she has won unexpected fame online for her poems. “I’m just an ordinary farmer, but words have always been with me,” she said. In spring 2023, Lyu climbed a mountain to pick Chinese toon sprouts (香椿芽). Seeing peach blossoms covering hillsides, she was deeply touched. She took out her phone, held a bunch of sprouts, and recited one of her notebook-written poems. The Douyin video brought her 100,000 followers within a week. Several of her field-created poems soon gained widespread popularity. In one piece, she compared falling snow to icing sugar and salt dropped from the sky. “I was a wrinkled farm woman in my fifties and felt insecure at first,” Lyu recalled. “Now poetry gives me courage to be myself.” Some commenters argued her poetic description of rural life was too idyllic, ignoring farming hardships. Pointing to her weathered face, she replied that hardship marks every farmer’s face. “Sun, wind and hard work are unavoidable. But I choose to record hope and expectation. Each spring we plow and sow, uncertain about the weather. Still, sowing seeds carries our wish for good harvests. It is faith in tomorrow, which I write to celebrate.” Her love for literature began in childhood, when her father told her stories. At 15, she worked in a textile factory. Against noisy machinery, she recited memorized poems by Li Bai and Su Dongpo. She kept notebooks full of magazine excerpts and her own lines. She has started livestreaming from her fruit farm, not only selling her peaches but also helping fellow villagers market their produce. On the busiest days, she livestreams for nine hours straight, sometimes skipping meals. “When I see the orders pile up and help people sell their goods, there’s nothing happier than that,” she said. 4. How did Lyu attract huge online attention within a week? A. By telling old folk stories. B. By sharing her own poems. C. By recording peach blossoms. D. By livestreaming local produce. 5. What does the underlined word “idyllic” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Peaceful. B. Practical. C. Painstaking. D. Complicated. 6. Why does Lyu keep livestreaming from her fruit farm? A. To present the beauty of rural life. B. To promote local agricultural products. C. To attract more followers with her poems. D. To share her farming experience with viewers. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. Poems about rural life gain popularity. B. Farming life provides poetic inspiration. C. A farmer-poet finds her voice through poetry. D. A former factory worker becomes a farmer-poet. C Neptune grass is generally regarded as the most ecologically important seagrass and shallow-water habitat in the Mediterranean Sea (地中海). It provides living space for nearly one quarter of local sea creatures and plays a key part in building the natural environment. Unluckily, it suffered a severe decline during the 20th century, and there have been efforts to actively restore it. Yet Neptune grass grows very slowly and has proven vulnerable to pollution and other threats. Around Marseille, a coastal city with about two million people, Neptune grass was badly destroyed over many years. The 1980s was its worst period. Dirty water and industrial waste kept flowing into the bay. During the 1970s subway building, dug-out earth was used to make man-made beaches and sea walls. Lots of seagrass was directly covered by earth. Floating dirt darkened seawater, robbing the plant of sunlight needed for underwater growth. From the mid-to-late 1980s, Marseille used a new wastewater treatment factory to clear most harmful substances. The French government made strict environmental rules, limited coastal building and protected Neptune grass by law. Scientists rechecked two 36-square-meter observation areas set up in 1985. By 2025, one’s plant cover rose from 47% to 94%; the other’s increased from 6% to 81%. Forty-year-long records showed great natural regrowth of local seagrass. Active man-made projects tend to receive more funding and more attention than passive restoration, but aren’t necessarily cost-effective. Active restoration has been tested and implemented for more than half a century, but has most often resulted in limited success in terms of plant survival. Removing human-caused drivers of degradation is the key. While this study was about seagrasses, the same principle could be applied to coral reefs and other ecosystems. “We cannot just play God and plant what we destroy. We just need to calm down on the way we are using nature, and we need to respect nature,” said lead researcher Patrick Astruch. 8. What made Neptune grass hit its lowest record around Marseille? A. Global sea-level rise. B. Construction of the subway. C. Human-caused pollution. D. Lack of natural sunlight. 9. What did the forty-year-long records reveal about Neptune grass? A. Its fast speed of loss. B. Its successful recovery. C. Its dependence on new planting. D. Its increasingly serious decline. 10. Why does the author question active restoration? A. It is strictly monitored. B. It is insufficiently funded. C. It receives little public attention. D. It costs much but may achieve little. 11. What is implied in Astruch’s words? A. Raise more money. B. Be humble to nature. C. Lend a hand to nature. D. Balance other ecosystems. D Language expresses countless meanings through small word changes, but grammar varies across languages. Neuroscientists(神经科学家) have long wondered whether bilingual speakers use different brain systems for different languages. A study in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that the brain uses the same underlying neural machinery across languages. To understand the basis of grammar in bilingual brains, Blanco-Elorrieta, a NYU neuroscientist, recruited 23 highly proficient speakers of both English and Spanish. They mapped the participants’ brain activity using a non-invasive technique called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which measures the tiny magnetic fields produced when nerve cells send electrical signals to one another. MEG imaging tracked the bilingual speakers’ brains millisecond by millisecond as participants were asked to produce singular and plural noun forms in both languages. They also tested cognates — words in different languages that share a common meaning, spelling and pronunciation because of a similar origin — as well as made-up words, like “paple”. These made-up words allowed the researchers to investigate whether the brain can apply grammatical rules without depending on a word’s meaning or belonging to a particular language. Similar brain activity patterns emerged when both languages were used. Cognates didn’t enhance the connection, and made-up words didn’t weaken it. This suggests the brain may represent grammatical operations themselves rather than shared vocabulary. The findings provide strong evidence that one brain mechanism drives both languages. Still, researchers aren’t sure how the findings about the single grammatical engine might generalize to language pairs that differ more substantially than English and Spanish, Bozic, a cognitive (认知的) neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge, tells The Times. Follow-up research should pursue this path, the study authors note in the paper. The findings could have practical implications for ambitious polyglots (通晓数种语言的人), since they suggest that the brain doesn’t need to build each new language system from scratch. “From the perspective of language learning, if it is true that there is one universal mechanism for language, then it follows that it may be easier for you to learn new languages” if you already know one, Blanco-Elorrieta says in a separate statement. 12. What was the function of MEG in the research? A. Recording brain activity. B. Generating magnetic signals. C. Comparing grammar systems. D. Sending electric signals. 13. Why did the researchers use made-up words like “paple” in the study? A. To spot language talents. B. To track language differences. C. To identify a cognitive mechanism. D. To enrich a language. 14. What is the focus of Bozic’s comment? A. The reliability of the research method. B. A possible direction for future study. C. Differences between the two languages. D. The practical value of the current findings. 15. What does the study suggest about language learning? A. Knowing one language may help with another. B. Each new language requires a separate system. C. Grammar learning requires a large vocabulary. D. Language similarity determines how grammar works. 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。 What image comes to mind when you think of a person in their 30s? You might envision someone with a successful career, a big house and cute children. However, the development of adulthood has changed over the past several decades.____16____ Ages 30 to 45 are now“the rush hour of life”. Today people around the world wait later than ever to marry and have kids.____17____ They manage to move ahead in their careers while handling intense responsibilities of caring for young children. Researchers propose the term“established adulthood” to distinguish these years as the most intense and demanding years of adult life. In midlife — ages 45 to 60 — adults usually reach their peak career earnings and status.____18____ New responsibilities may arise with grandchildren and with aging parents who need more assistance. Overall, mental health tends to decline in this period, with reports of depression and anxiety increasing. In the U. S., midlife well-being has declined notably since2000, especially among working-class adults affected by the information-technology economy. ____19____ Although life after 60 was traditionally viewed as a time of certain decline, improvements in nutrition and health care have enabled people to stay healthier for longer. Physical issues do arise with age, but more people maintain good health through their 60s by keeping a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Moreover, regular exercise promotes both physical and mental sharpness. Life satisfaction also rises as people gain freedom to choose work they enjoy or stop working altogether to spend time with loved ones. How people think about stages of human development matters because thinking shapes expectations and the way experiences are interpreted. Lots of exciting new findings about adult development point to the importance of rethinking previous theories, assumptions and stereotypes (刻板印象) about the course of adult life.____20____ A. However, life can become complicated again. B. But then couples typically face the double challenge. C. This is because they focus on carving out their careers. D. These shifts call for a fresh look at adult development. E. Such updates are essential in understanding the journey of life. F. In contrast, adults in later life are doing better like never before.

We had been living in Melbourne, where we had a familiar circle of friends and family. In Healesville, however, we didn’t know a soul. It was just my husband, our two little children, our two dogs and me. I tried to get used to the new place, but often felt like an outsider. On my way to work, I passed the same quiet streets every day, yet hardly anyone greeted me. People seemed to have their own circles, and my life became a routine of home and work. I missed the familiar faces and easy conversations we had left behind in Melbourne. Although I lived in the town, I did not feel that I belonged. We hadn’t been there long when we all came down with the flu. We had aching bodies, high fevers and hardly enough strength to get out of bed. There was some food in the house, but not much. The kitchen was nearly empty, with only a few cans and an old pot (锅) by the stove. One day, I tried to drive to the shops, only to turn back halfway because I was too sick to drive safely. Things became worse when I realized that the dogs’ food was running out, too. “We have to feed the dogs,” I said helplessly. We were stuck, with no relatives nearby and no one we knew well enough to call. Then, unexpectedly, the phone rang. My husband answered it. It was Kathy, a woman from his new workplace whom I had never met. He had mentioned that she was always ready to lend a hand when someone was in need. She had somehow heard about our situation. After asking a few questions, she told my husband she would see what she could do. A little later, my husband told me Kathy was coming over. I was touched but puzzled. What could a woman I had never met possibly do for a family she hardly knew? Still, the thought that someone cared enough to help gave me a little hope. 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。 A few minutes later, we heard a knock at the door. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Several days later, when I had recovered enough to leave the house, I decided to return the empty pot. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
