NPR’s Life Kit says the hobby can happen almost anywhere: at a kitchen window, on a city street or in a small green space you visit regularly. For beginners, a nearby watching spot is particularly ideal. Returning to the same place repeatedly helps you learn which birds stay all year and which ones arrive during migration. Besides, different times of day offer different viewing experiences: mornings feature birdsong, while dawn and dusk are better for birds active at night. Birds living near water, by contrast, can be seen throughout the day. Birding requires no expensive equipment. Simply observing a bird’s outline, flight pattern or familiar call is enough to get started. A notebook can be a handy tool, as quick notes about location, time and bird behavior make later comparison much easier. Listening opens another route into the hobby. Instead of relying only on sight, you can identify birds by their calls, even when they are hidden behind thick leaves. You can observe the rhythm, pitch and pauses of bird songs and create short memory phrases to remember them. The apps below offer further help with identification and record-keeping. App Cost at publication Main use eBird Free Record and compare sightings Merlin Bird ID Free Identify birds from photos or recordings iBird Pro $14.99 Use a detailed identification guide Sibley Birds $19.99 Consult another full field guide When identifying a bird by sight, note its size first, then its shape and structure, habitat and behavior, and finally color. Sound matters too: a memory phrase can turn an unfamiliar call into something recognizable. Whatever method you use, respect posted rules and the people sharing the space. A common bird is still worth studying, and learning its habits can make an ordinary walk feel newly detailed. 1. Why is revisiting the same birding spot useful? A. It keeps water birds in sight all day. B. It shows seasonal patterns in local birds. C. It provides a quiet space for close observation. D. It makes morning birdsong easier to recognize. 2. Which app can help a birder identify birds by their calls at no cost? A. Merlin Bird ID. B. iBird Pro. C. Sibley Birds. D. eBird. 3. Which feature should be considered first when identifying a bird by sight? A. Where it lives. B. What it is doing. C. How large it is. D. What color it is. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了观鸟这项爱好，讲解新手观鸟的地点选择、入门方式，推荐多款相关应用软件，并说明肉眼识别鸟类的观察顺序。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Returning to the same place repeatedly helps you learn which birds stay all year and which ones arrive during migration. (反复回到同一地点有助于你了解哪些鸟类常年栖息于此，哪些鸟类会在迁徙季到访。)”可知，重访同一观鸟点可以了解本地鸟类的季节活动规律(常驻鸟与候鸟的变化)。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格Merlin Bird ID一行“Free；Identify birds from photos or recordings (免费；可通过照片或录音识别鸟类)”可知，录音包含鸟鸣叫声，Merlin Bird ID可以免费借助鸟叫声识别鸟类。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When identifying a bird by sight, note its size first, then its shape and structure, habitat and behavior, and finally color. (肉眼识别鸟类时，先留意它的体型大小，然后是外形结构、栖息地与行为，最后才是颜色。)”可知，肉眼识别鸟类时最先考虑体型大小。 B For Shu Yang, a materials scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, ideas are everywhere. Sometimes nature generates inspiration. Other times, a problem causes Yang to see a solution that already exists in the natural world. While trying to create a “building envelope” that could reflect sunlight and collect water to passively heat and cool buildings, she looked to the dry, deeply lined skin of the African elephant, which helped her envision a new kind of material that would keep temperatures down in regions experiencing life-threatening heat waves. Yang grew up in a small village, where she learnt to find inspiration from nature when she looked outside for entertainment. “Nature was my greatest playground and classroom to explore,” Yang says. Later, she noticed that drug companies rely on biology to develop medicine. “Why shouldn’t engineers do the same?” she wondered. “Could I build the way nature builds?” While many scientists hesitate to speak about developing theories or unpublished work, Yang isn’t protective of her ideas. “I have tons of ideas,” she says. This open attitude allows her to collaborate with people who have expertise in other fields: biologists, materials scientists, and textile engineers. “I don’t think I’m a supersmart person, but I bring the smart people together,” she explains. One fruitful result of such cross-disciplinary teamwork is 3D-printed concrete, which originated with the U.S. Department of Energy. The design draws on a naturally occurring structure with similar strength and tiny holes: honeycomb (蜂巢). Yang’s concrete is made in part from a sand-based frame that absorbs carbon dioxide throughout the life of the material. “It’s really a wonderful choice,” Yang says with a smile. The technique significantly reduces the environmental impact of producing concrete and cement (水泥), which is responsible for about eight percent of all human-made carbon emissions. For Yang, learning from nature is far more than solving isolated engineering puzzles. By turning the wisdom of the natural world into sustainable technologies, she and her team are helping build a greener future. 4. What drove Yang to study the African elephant? A. The need to protect elephants from heatwaves. B. The plan to design buildings that collect water. C. The desire to examine how elephant skin works. D. The attempt to develop a cooling building material. 5. Why did Yang mention drug companies? A. To show the value of medicine. B. To criticize engineers’ lack of creativity. C. To justify learning from nature in engineering. D. To promote cooperation across different industries. 6. What is special about Yang’s 3D-printed concrete? A. It requires much less sand to produce. B. It is stronger than natural honeycomb. C. It shapes buildings like honeycomb cells. D. It keeps absorbing carbon during its use. 7. Which of the following words best describes Yang? A. Generous and cautious. B. Modest and cooperative. C. Independent and proud. D. Ambitious and demanding. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了材料科学家舒杨从大自然中汲取灵感进行材料研发，乐于跨学科合作，研发出可吸收二氧化碳的3D打印混凝土，用自然智慧打造可持续技术，助力建设更绿色的未来。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While trying to create a ‘building envelope’ that could reflect sunlight and collect water to passively heat and cool buildings, she looked to the dry, deeply lined skin of the African elephant, which helped her envision a new kind of material that would keep temperatures down in regions experiencing life-threatening heat waves.(在尝试研发一种可以反射阳光、收集水，被动调节建筑物冷暖的建筑围护结构时，她研究了非洲象干燥、布满深纹路的皮肤，这帮助她设想出一种新型材料，能够在遭受致命热浪的地区降低温度。)”可知，舒杨研究非洲象是为了研发降温建筑材料。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Later, she noticed that drug companies rely on biology to develop medicine. ‘Why shouldn’t engineers do the same?’ she wondered. ‘Could I build the way nature builds?’(后来，她注意到制药公司依靠生物学研发药物。她心想：‘工程师为什么不能这样做呢？我能不能效仿大自然的方式来进行建造？’)”可知，她以制药公司为例，证明工程领域向自然学习是合理可行的。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Yang’s concrete is made in part from a sand-based frame that absorbs carbon dioxide throughout the life of the material.(舒杨研发的混凝土部分由砂质骨架构成，该材料在整个使用周期内都可以吸收二氧化碳。)”可知，这款3D打印混凝土的特别之处在于在使用期间持续吸收二氧化碳。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This open attitude allows her to collaborate with people who have expertise in other fields: biologists, materials scientists, and textile engineers. ‘I don’t think I’m a supersmart person, but I bring the smart people together,’ she explains.(这种开放的态度让她可以和其他领域的专家合作：生物学家、材料科学家以及纺织工程师。她解释说：‘我并不认为自己绝顶聪明，但我可以把优秀的人才汇聚在一起。’)”可知，舒杨为人谦逊，善于合作。 C Visit any antique store and you’ll encounter artifacts from the past: photographs, letters and even a brochure from the 1964-65 World’s Fair. These objects have managed to survive for decades or even centuries. Why? One of the reasons is that they’re physical. But what about the life cycle of non-physical formats, like digital information? For thousands of years, we’ve known about history from the artifacts that have survived. They serve as the media that deliver the information. At the time of creation, no attempts were made at intentional preservation, yet physical materials have a chance of surviving and acting as the historical record that writers of biographies, historians, and novelists rely on. Traditionally, libraries have shouldered the responsibility of organization, preservation, and access to information. They digitize the physical materials so that researchers can quickly search and access the resources conveniently. However, such selfless devotion may result in an embarrassment for librarians. Many people claim libraries are less vital now. They hold up a cell phone, saying, “It’s all in here.” But how was that universality of access made possible and, perhaps more importantly, how is it maintained? Who is managing what is preserved? When it comes to digital information, the terrifying answer can be: if not librarians, then no one. Unlike stable tangible (有形的) materials, digital information needs constant professional care. Without librarians’ careful preservation, plenty of the digital content will disappear completely. Even when a digital object is preserved, it may face a hidden problem: the information inside may be lost. As technology develops, old storage formats will become obsolete, making saved digital files useless. Without regular digital data migration, future historical records may come to an abrupt end when digital formats replace traditional ones. As a librarian whose day job involves managing special collections and digital assets, I share the same worry. I’d be lying if I said a comprehensive solution currently exists. Fortunately, numerous librarians are dedicated to discovering, sorting and preserving digital information. Their efforts ensure that future researchers may find the digital world a challenging place to do their work, but not an impossible one. 8. What gives tangible materials an advantage over digital ones? A. They are better protected by librarians. B. They make information more accessible. C. They provide more reliable historical records. D. They can survive without intentional protection. 9. What can we learn about librarians in the digital age? A. Their crucial efforts are often underestimated. B. Their traditional responsibilities are disappearing. C. They focus primarily on special physical collections. D. They have found a universal solution to digital crisis. 10. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Easy to use. B. Out of date. C. Hard to find. D. High in price. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Efforts are needed to save tangible cultural artifacts. B. Librarians play a key role in digitizing ancient materials. C. Digital information requires continuing care to remain usable. D. Digital resources have made libraries unnecessary for research. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍实体物品可自然留存，而数字信息需要持续专业维护，图书管理员正致力于数字信息的保存工作。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At the time of creation, no attempts were made at intentional preservation, yet physical materials have a chance of surviving and acting as the historical record that writers of biographies, historians, and novelists rely on.(在被创作出来的时候，人们并没有刻意去保存它们，但是实体材料仍有机会留存下来，成为传记作者、历史学家和小说家所依靠的历史资料。)”可知，实体材料的优势在于无需刻意保护也能够留存下来。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Many people claim libraries are less vital now. They hold up a cell phone, saying, “It’s all in here.” But how was that universality of access made possible and, perhaps more importantly, how is it maintained? Who is managing what is preserved? When it comes to digital information, the terrifying answer can be: if not librarians, then no one.(很多人声称图书馆如今没那么重要了。他们举着手机说：“所有信息都在这里。”但是这种随处可获取的状态如何实现，更重要的是，该如何维持？谁在管理保存的内容？对于数字信息，令人担忧的答案是：如果不是图书管理员，就没有人了。)”可知，在数字时代，图书管理员的重要付出常常被人们低估。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Even when a digital object is preserved, it may face a hidden problem: the information inside may be lost. As technology develops, old storage formats will become obsolete, making saved digital files useless.(即使一份数字资料被保存下来，它也会面临一个隐患：内部信息可能丢失。随着技术发展，旧的存储格式将会obsolete，使得保存的数字文件无法使用。)”可知，旧存储格式会变得过时，文件才会失效，因此obsolete意为“过时的”。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中的“Unlike stable tangible (有形的) materials, digital information needs constant professional care. Without librarians’ careful preservation, plenty of the digital content will disappear completely.(与稳定的有形材料不同，数字信息需要持续的专业维护。没有图书管理员的精心保存，大量数字内容将会彻底消失。)”以及第四段中的“Without regular digital data migration, future historical records may come to an abrupt end when digital formats replace traditional ones.(如果不进行定期的数据迁移，当数字格式取代传统载体时，未来的历史记录可能会戛然而止。)”可知，文章主要说明数字信息需要持续维护才能保持可用。 D Have you ever found your focus slipping halfway through a challenging exam? This kind of mental tiredness is common. In a recent study, researchers found evidence that the ability to sustain mental effort over time, known as “cognitive endurance (认知耐力),” may be trainable, somewhat like physical fitness. Just as athletes train to exercise for longer, students may strengthen their capacity for sustained thinking through practice. While analyzing standardized test results worldwide, scientists noticed a consistent pattern: students performed worse on questions that appeared later in exams, even after the difficulty of the questions was considered. Notably, the decline was greater among students who typically spend their school days in passive activities such as listening to lectures and copying from the board. Those who more often read silently or worked through problems on their own — activities that demand sustained, independent focus — showed less decline. Could the school experience itself be shaping students’ cognitive endurance? To find out, the researchers ran an experiment with 1,636 elementary school students in India. During study hall periods, the students were randomly divided into three groups. The control group continued its usual routine, which involved minimal mental effort. One treatment group spent 20 minutes solving math problems on tablets, using a plain application without game features. The other played cognitively demanding games, such as puzzles and tangrams (七巧板), which contained no academic content. Both programs adapted to each student’s level, keeping the tasks challenging. The results were striking. In listening, reasoning and math assessments, the performance of trained students showed 22 percent less decline than that of the control group. It made little difference whether they had practiced math or played puzzles: the benefits were nearly identical. What mattered, it seemed, was sustained concentration rather than the specific content of the activity. The gains also spread beyond tests: teachers reported that the trained students were less restless and followed multistep instructions better, and their grades across several subjects rose accordingly. The findings carry a hopeful message in an age when short-form media often encourages rapid shifts of attention. Cognitive endurance is not fixed. Like physical fitness, it may be built through activities such as reading, puzzles or playing a musical instrument, as long as they require sustained, focused mental effort. 12. What can be learned from the test results in Paragraph 2? A. Later test questions were more difficult. B. Physical strength determined students’ concentration. C. Daily learning activities affected cognitive endurance. D. Passive school activities lowered students’ test scores. 13. What is a feature of the experiment’s design? A. Participants were required to finish tasks in groups. B. Tasks of equal difficulty were assigned to all groups. C. Participants randomly chose their experimental tasks. D. Tasks for treatment groups were tailored to students’ level. 14. What was a key finding of the experiment? A. The act of focusing outweighs the content. B. The practice time determines the test results. C. Math problems build mental endurance better. D. Non-academic games lead to mental tiredness. 15. What do the findings suggest about improving cognitive endurance? A. Choosing academic tasks over games. B. Doing intensive physical workouts regularly. C. Avoiding daily exposure to short-form media. D. Doing activities requiring lasting concentration. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍认知耐力可以像体能一样训练，相关研究和实验表明持续专注的活动有助于提升学生的认知耐力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“While analyzing standardized test results worldwide, scientists noticed a consistent pattern: students performed worse on questions that appeared later in exams, even after the difficulty of the questions was considered. Notably, the decline was greater among students who typically spend their school days in passive activities such as listening to lectures and copying from the board. Those who more often read silently or worked through problems on their own — activities that demand sustained, independent focus — showed less decline.(在分析全球标准化考试成绩时，科学家发现了一个稳定规律：即便把题目难度考虑在内，学生在试卷后面的题目上表现依旧更差。值得注意的是，平日里多参与听课、抄写板书这类被动学习活动的学生，成绩下滑幅度更大。而那些经常默读或者独立解题的学生——这类活动需要持续、独立的专注力——成绩下滑没那么明显。)”可知，日常学习活动会影响学生的认知耐力。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Both programs adapted to each student’s level, keeping the tasks challenging.(两种训练项目都适配每个学生的水平，保证任务具有挑战性。)”可知，实验组的任务会根据学生水平量身调整。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It made little difference whether they had practiced math or played puzzles: the benefits were nearly identical. What mattered, it seemed, was sustained concentration rather than the specific content of the activity.(练习数学还是玩益智游戏差别不大，二者带来的提升几乎一样。看起来，起关键作用的是持续专注本身，而非活动的具体内容。)”可知，专注这一行为本身比活动内容更重要。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Cognitive endurance is not fixed. Like physical fitness, it may be built through activities such as reading, puzzles or playing a musical instrument, as long as they require sustained, focused mental effort.(认知耐力并非固定不变。如同体能，可以通过阅读、解谜、演奏乐器等活动培养，只要这些活动需要持续、专注的脑力投入。)”可知，提升认知耐力可以通过进行需要持久专注力的活动来实现。 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。 When someone you care about is suffering, your first instinct is often to help them get through hard times. However, many people fall into a common trap: offering advice too quickly. ____16____ Experts note that rushed solutions often make people feel unvalued and misunderstood instead of comforted. Here is how you can offer genuine support without rushing to give advice. ____17____ Many people tend to give advice mainly to ease their own anxiety rather than help others. Seeing loved ones struggle brings uncertainty and discomfort, which explains the strong urge to fix problems immediately. In fact, most difficulties are impossible for outsiders to solve. Instead of trying to fix everything for them, a more helpful approach is to support them as they work through their difficulties. Creating a sense of connection is another key to effective support. ____18____ Simple and sincere responses like “That sounds hard” often work better than immediate suggestions. These plain words let people know their feelings are recognized and that they are not alone in the struggle. It is more important to stay with them patiently than to fix their troubles in a hurry. Respect other people’s right to make their own decisions. Everyone knows their own situation and feelings best. ____19____ When communicating with people in pain, keep a curious and humble attitude. Use empathetic sentences to recognize their feelings and let them take the lead in the conversation. Never act like an expert who has all the answers to their life problems. Finally, practical help can sometimes matter more than words. When people are trapped in hardship, daily chores can become huge burdens. Small voluntary acts, including delivering meals or helping with everyday tasks, can greatly reduce their pressure. ____20____ The essence of support is not perfect words, but sincere and consistent care. A. Ask yourself what is driving your urge to help. B. Rushed positive comments should also be avoided. C. This typical behavior actually hurts more than it helps. D. Never take others’ problems as your own responsibility. E. What you do for them may matter more than what you promise. F. The first response they need is not a solution but an acknowledgment. G. If you decide everything for them, they may feel their voice is ignored. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. G 20.

The garden bed lay bare and forgotten, still buried under last autumn’s dead leaves. Dry weeds grew in patches across the yard, leaving the old garden looking grey and lifeless. “I wish we could bring it back to life,” Amy said. Tom nodded. He wanted to see green shoots and bright colors in the yard again. They found some old seed packets in the kitchen. There were sunflowers, peas, carrots, and tomatoes. Amy grabbed the sunflower seeds, while Tom took the tomato seeds. They rushed outside, eager to get started. A wooden fence ran along one side of the garden, and an old shovel and a watering can lay nearby. Amy scattered her seeds across the open bed in the middle, pressing them gently into the soil. Tom pushed his seeds into the ground near the big apple tree. Then they watered the earth and watched it darken. Smiling, they imagined bright flowers and juicy red tomatoes. But days passed, and nothing went as they had hoped. The sunflower seeds never came up. The tomato plants under the big apple tree grew weak and pale. Tom and Amy crouched by the garden, disappointed and confused. Just then, Dad came out. He knelt down beside them and asked what was wrong. After listening, he reminded them that not every seed wanted the same thing. Sunflowers wouldn’t grow if their feet were cold. They would have to be planted later, when the ground warmed up. Tomatoes did best in full sun, while peas needed something to climb on. Carrots, meanwhile, were happiest in cool, moist soil. “I get it!” Tom said. “You have to give the seeds what they want, and they don’t all want the same things. They’re picky! It’s like when I want bananas on my cereal and Amy wants blueberries.” “That’s right,” said Dad. “With the right sunshine, water, and soil, a plant is a happy camper.” 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。 With their new knowledge, they set to work. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, the garden began to change. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With their new knowledge, they set to work. Tom carefully dug up the weak tomato plants and moved them to the sunniest corner of the yard, where nothing blocked the light. Amy scattered the pea seeds along the wooden fence so their tiny shoots would have something to climb. They waited a few more days before planting the sunflower seeds in the warmest part of the garden bed, and tucked the carrot seeds into the cool, moist soil at the back. Every evening, they watered the garden gently and checked the soil with careful fingers, making sure each seed had exactly what it needed. Weeks later, the garden began to change. Green pea vines curled around the fence like tiny ropes, and the tomato plants grew tall and strong, covered with small yellow flowers. Bright sunflower shoots rose from the soil, turning their leaves toward the sun. Soft, feathery carrot tops appeared at the back of the bed. Amy and Tom ran through the garden, laughing as they spotted new leaves every day. Dad watched them proudly and said, “See? When you listen to what seeds want, they reward you.” The once-grey yard was finally alive with color and hope. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述春日午后Tom和妹妹Amy想要复苏荒芜的后院菜园，找出各类种子播撒入土，然而种子长势不佳，父亲告诉他们不同种子生长所需条件各不相同，种植要顺应每种植物自身的需求的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写兄妹二人学到经验后重新劳作，根据不同植物的习性移栽、播种，细心照料菜园。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写几周之后菜园生机焕发，各类植物蓬勃生长，兄妹体会到顺应事物需求的道理。 2. 续写线索：动手劳作——移栽播种——细心照料——菜园改观——植物生长——感悟收获 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①移栽：move/transplant/replant ②发现：spot/discover/detect 情绪类 ①自豪：proud/with pride/glory in ②充满生机的：alive/lively/vibrant 【点睛】【高分句型1】Tom carefully dug up the weak tomato plants and moved them to the sunniest corner of the yard, where nothing blocked the light.（运用where引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Amy and Tom ran through the garden, laughing as they spotted new leaves every day.（运用as引导的状语从句从和现在分词laughing作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年上学期高三年级10月适应性训练 英语 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分，共10页，满分120分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．开考前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的校名、姓名、班级、考号等相关信息填写在答题卡指定区域内。 2．选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案；不能答在试卷上。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4．考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。 第一部分 阅读（共两节；满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项选出最佳选项。 A Start Birding Where You Are Birding begins the moment you pause to notice a bird. NPR’s Life Kit says the hobby can happen almost anywhere: at a kitchen window, on a city street or in a small green space you visit regularly. For beginners, a nearby watching spot is particularly ideal. Returning to the same place repeatedly helps you learn which birds stay all year and which ones arrive during migration. Besides, different times of day offer different viewing experiences: mornings feature birdsong, while dawn and dusk are better for birds active at night. Birds living near water, by contrast, can be seen throughout the day. Birding requires no expensive equipment. Simply observing a bird’s outline, flight pattern or familiar call is enough to get started. A notebook can be a handy tool, as quick notes about location, time and bird behavior make later comparison much easier. Listening opens another route into the hobby. Instead of relying only on sight, you can identify birds by their calls, even when they are hidden behind thick leaves. You can observe the rhythm, pitch and pauses of bird songs and create short memory phrases to remember them. The apps below offer further help with identification and record-keeping. App Cost at publication Main use eBird Free Record and compare sightings Merlin Bird ID Free Identify birds from photos or recordings iBird Pro $14.99 Use a detailed identification guide Sibley Birds $19.99 Consult another full field guide When identifying a bird by sight, note its size first, then its shape and structure, habitat and behavior, and finally color. Sound matters too: a memory phrase can turn an unfamiliar call into something recognizable. Whatever method you use, respect posted rules and the people sharing the space. A common bird is still worth studying, and learning its habits can make an ordinary walk feel newly detailed. 1. Why is revisiting the same birding spot useful? A. It keeps water birds in sight all day. B. It shows seasonal patterns in local birds. C. It provides a quiet space for close observation. D. It makes morning birdsong easier to recognize. 2. Which app can help a birder identify birds by their calls at no cost? A. Merlin Bird ID. B. iBird Pro. C. Sibley Birds. D. eBird. 3. Which feature should be considered first when identifying a bird by sight? A. Where it lives. B. What it is doing. C. How large it is. D. What color it is. B For Shu Yang, a materials scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, ideas are everywhere. Sometimes nature generates inspiration. Other times, a problem causes Yang to see a solution that already exists in the natural world. While trying to create a “building envelope” that could reflect sunlight and collect water to passively heat and cool buildings, she looked to the dry, deeply lined skin of the African elephant, which helped her envision a new kind of material that would keep temperatures down in regions experiencing life-threatening heat waves. Yang grew up in a small village, where she learnt to find inspiration from nature when she looked outside for entertainment. “Nature was my greatest playground and classroom to explore,” Yang says. Later, she noticed that drug companies rely on biology to develop medicine. “Why shouldn’t engineers do the same?” she wondered. “Could I build the way nature builds?” While many scientists hesitate to speak about developing theories or unpublished work, Yang isn’t protective of her ideas. “I have tons of ideas,” she says. This open attitude allows her to collaborate with people who have expertise in other fields: biologists, materials scientists, and textile engineers. “I don’t think I’m a supersmart person, but I bring the smart people together,” she explains. One fruitful result of such cross-disciplinary teamwork is 3D-printed concrete, which originated with the U.S. Department of Energy. The design draws on a naturally occurring structure with similar strength and tiny holes: honeycomb (蜂巢). Yang’s concrete is made in part from a sand-based frame that absorbs carbon dioxide throughout the life of the material. “It’s really a wonderful choice,” Yang says with a smile. The technique significantly reduces the environmental impact of producing concrete and cement (水泥), which is responsible for about eight percent of all human-made carbon emissions. For Yang, learning from nature is far more than solving isolated engineering puzzles. By turning the wisdom of the natural world into sustainable technologies, she and her team are helping build a greener future. 4. What drove Yang to study the African elephant? A. The need to protect elephants from heatwaves. B. The plan to design buildings that collect water. C. The desire to examine how elephant skin works. D. The attempt to develop a cooling building material. 5. Why did Yang mention drug companies? A. To show the value of medicine. B. To criticize engineers’ lack of creativity. C. To justify learning from nature in engineering. D. To promote cooperation across different industries. 6. What is special about Yang’s 3D-printed concrete? A. It requires much less sand to produce. B. It is stronger than natural honeycomb. C. It shapes buildings like honeycomb cells. D. It keeps absorbing carbon during its use. 7. Which of the following words best describes Yang? A. Generous and cautious. B. Modest and cooperative. C. Independent and proud. D. Ambitious and demanding. C Visit any antique store and you’ll encounter artifacts from the past: photographs, letters and even a brochure from the 1964-65 World’s Fair. These objects have managed to survive for decades or even centuries. Why? One of the reasons is that they’re physical. But what about the life cycle of non-physical formats, like digital information? For thousands of years, we’ve known about history from the artifacts that have survived. They serve as the media that deliver the information. At the time of creation, no attempts were made at intentional preservation, yet physical materials have a chance of surviving and acting as the historical record that writers of biographies, historians, and novelists rely on. Traditionally, libraries have shouldered the responsibility of organization, preservation, and access to information. They digitize the physical materials so that researchers can quickly search and access the resources conveniently. However, such selfless devotion may result in an embarrassment for librarians. Many people claim libraries are less vital now. They hold up a cell phone, saying, “It’s all in here.” But how was that universality of access made possible and, perhaps more importantly, how is it maintained? Who is managing what is preserved? When it comes to digital information, the terrifying answer can be: if not librarians, then no one. Unlike stable tangible (有形的) materials, digital information needs constant professional care. Without librarians’ careful preservation, plenty of the digital content will disappear completely. Even when a digital object is preserved, it may face a hidden problem: the information inside may be lost. As technology develops, old storage formats will become obsolete, making saved digital files useless. Without regular digital data migration, future historical records may come to an abrupt end when digital formats replace traditional ones. As a librarian whose day job involves managing special collections and digital assets, I share the same worry. I’d be lying if I said a comprehensive solution currently exists. Fortunately, numerous librarians are dedicated to discovering, sorting and preserving digital information. Their efforts ensure that future researchers may find the digital world a challenging place to do their work, but not an impossible one. 8. What gives tangible materials an advantage over digital ones? A. They are better protected by librarians. B. They make information more accessible. C. They provide more reliable historical records. D. They can survive without intentional protection. 9. What can we learn about librarians in the digital age? A. Their crucial efforts are often underestimated. B. Their traditional responsibilities are disappearing. C. They focus primarily on special physical collections. D. They have found a universal solution to digital crisis. 10. What does the underlined word “obsolete” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Easy to use. B. Out of date. C. Hard to find. D. High in price. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Efforts are needed to save tangible cultural artifacts. B. Librarians play a key role in digitizing ancient materials. C. Digital information requires continuing care to remain usable. D. Digital resources have made libraries unnecessary for research. D Have you ever found your focus slipping halfway through a challenging exam? This kind of mental tiredness is common. In a recent study, researchers found evidence that the ability to sustain mental effort over time, known as “cognitive endurance (认知耐力),” may be trainable, somewhat like physical fitness. Just as athletes train to exercise for longer, students may strengthen their capacity for sustained thinking through practice. While analyzing standardized test results worldwide, scientists noticed a consistent pattern: students performed worse on questions that appeared later in exams, even after the difficulty of the questions was considered. Notably, the decline was greater among students who typically spend their school days in passive activities such as listening to lectures and copying from the board. Those who more often read silently or worked through problems on their own — activities that demand sustained, independent focus — showed less decline. Could the school experience itself be shaping students’ cognitive endurance? To find out, the researchers ran an experiment with 1,636 elementary school students in India. During study hall periods, the students were randomly divided into three groups. The control group continued its usual routine, which involved minimal mental effort. One treatment group spent 20 minutes solving math problems on tablets, using a plain application without game features. The other played cognitively demanding games, such as puzzles and tangrams (七巧板), which contained no academic content. Both programs adapted to each student’s level, keeping the tasks challenging. The results were striking. In listening, reasoning and math assessments, the performance of trained students showed 22 percent less decline than that of the control group. It made little difference whether they had practiced math or played puzzles: the benefits were nearly identical. What mattered, it seemed, was sustained concentration rather than the specific content of the activity. The gains also spread beyond tests: teachers reported that the trained students were less restless and followed multistep instructions better, and their grades across several subjects rose accordingly. The findings carry a hopeful message in an age when short-form media often encourages rapid shifts of attention. Cognitive endurance is not fixed. Like physical fitness, it may be built through activities such as reading, puzzles or playing a musical instrument, as long as they require sustained, focused mental effort. 12. What can be learned from the test results in Paragraph 2? A. Later test questions were more difficult. B. Physical strength determined students’ concentration. C. Daily learning activities affected cognitive endurance. D. Passive school activities lowered students’ test scores. 13. What is a feature of the experiment’s design? A. Participants were required to finish tasks in groups. B. Tasks of equal difficulty were assigned to all groups. C. Participants randomly chose their experimental tasks. D. Tasks for treatment groups were tailored to students’ level. 14. What was a key finding of the experiment? A. The act of focusing outweighs the content. B. The practice time determines the test results. C. Math problems build mental endurance better. D. Non-academic games lead to mental tiredness. 15. What do the findings suggest about improving cognitive endurance? A. Choosing academic tasks over games. B. Doing intensive physical workouts regularly. C. Avoiding daily exposure to short-form media. D. Doing activities requiring lasting concentration. 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。 When someone you care about is suffering, your first instinct is often to help them get through hard times. However, many people fall into a common trap: offering advice too quickly. ____16____ Experts note that rushed solutions often make people feel unvalued and misunderstood instead of comforted. Here is how you can offer genuine support without rushing to give advice. ____17____ Many people tend to give advice mainly to ease their own anxiety rather than help others. Seeing loved ones struggle brings uncertainty and discomfort, which explains the strong urge to fix problems immediately. In fact, most difficulties are impossible for outsiders to solve. Instead of trying to fix everything for them, a more helpful approach is to support them as they work through their difficulties. Creating a sense of connection is another key to effective support. ____18____ Simple and sincere responses like “That sounds hard” often work better than immediate suggestions. These plain words let people know their feelings are recognized and that they are not alone in the struggle. It is more important to stay with them patiently than to fix their troubles in a hurry. Respect other people’s right to make their own decisions. Everyone knows their own situation and feelings best. ____19____ When communicating with people in pain, keep a curious and humble attitude. Use empathetic sentences to recognize their feelings and let them take the lead in the conversation. Never act like an expert who has all the answers to their life problems. Finally, practical help can sometimes matter more than words. When people are trapped in hardship, daily chores can become huge burdens. Small voluntary acts, including delivering meals or helping with everyday tasks, can greatly reduce their pressure. ____20____ The essence of support is not perfect words, but sincere and consistent care. A. Ask yourself what is driving your urge to help. B. Rushed positive comments should also be avoided. C. This typical behavior actually hurts more than it helps. D. Never take others’ problems as your own responsibility. E. What you do for them may matter more than what you promise. F. The first response they need is not a solution but an acknowledgment. G. If you decide everything for them, they may feel their voice is ignored. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节；满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Twenty years ago, Virginia Squier was on a tour of England with her 8-year-old daughter Chambers.

The garden bed lay bare and forgotten, still buried under last autumn’s dead leaves. Dry weeds grew in patches across the yard, leaving the old garden looking grey and lifeless. “I wish we could bring it back to life,” Amy said. Tom nodded. He wanted to see green shoots and bright colors in the yard again. They found some old seed packets in the kitchen. There were sunflowers, peas, carrots, and tomatoes. Amy grabbed the sunflower seeds, while Tom took the tomato seeds. They rushed outside, eager to get started. A wooden fence ran along one side of the garden, and an old shovel and a watering can lay nearby. Amy scattered her seeds across the open bed in the middle, pressing them gently into the soil. Tom pushed his seeds into the ground near the big apple tree. Then they watered the earth and watched it darken. Smiling, they imagined bright flowers and juicy red tomatoes. But days passed, and nothing went as they had hoped. The sunflower seeds never came up. The tomato plants under the big apple tree grew weak and pale. Tom and Amy crouched by the garden, disappointed and confused. Just then, Dad came out. He knelt down beside them and asked what was wrong. After listening, he reminded them that not every seed wanted the same thing. Sunflowers wouldn’t grow if their feet were cold. They would have to be planted later, when the ground warmed up. Tomatoes did best in full sun, while peas needed something to climb on. Carrots, meanwhile, were happiest in cool, moist soil. “I get it!” Tom said. “You have to give the seeds what they want, and they don’t all want the same things. They’re picky! It’s like when I want bananas on my cereal and Amy wants blueberries.” “That’s right,” said Dad. “With the right sunshine, water, and soil, a plant is a happy camper.” 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。 With their new knowledge, they set to work. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, the garden began to change. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
