B In 1990, during a performance of my stage play, I became preoccupied with one particular member of the audience. While everybody else laughed, there she sat, staring at the floor, with her fingers in her ears. I’ll never forget her look of complete discomfort. That woman was my mother. Despite the fact I’d established myself as a humorist, my mother never found me or my work particularly funny. She was my hardest critic. “Is Drew really that funny?” she’d ask family members. To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual (相互的): though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it. My mother was supposedly very funny in her first language, Anishinaabemowin—an Indigenous (原住民的) language, but alas, I didn’t speak it. At family gatherings, when somebody would say something “funny” in Anishinaabemowin, she’d explain it to me. Sometimes the humour translated. Sometimes it didn’t. For a while I was convinced I would never make her laugh. Then, in 2005, I succeeded. I had published a book called Me Funny. In it were dozens of essays deconstructing Indigenous humour, along with 50 so-called “Indian jokes” to break up the various chapters. (For instance, “Why do Native people hate snow? Because it’s white and all over our land.”) She laughed hard and declared, “Wow, that was funny!” In 2009, my mother passed away at the age of 77. During the funeral, in the tears, family member after family member got up and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. Suddenly I remembered a moment from the early ‘90s, when my mother asked me, completely serious, what “owie” meant in French. I struggled to come up with an answer until I spelled it out in my mind: oui (“yes” in English). More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her. I couldn’t see my mother’s forest for my own trees. I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but I’m glad I finally made the connection. 4. What prevented the author and his mother from understanding each other’s humour? A. Language barriers. B. The author’s unique job. C. Mom’s critical personality. D. Views of Indigenous people. 5. Why did the author laugh at mother’s funeral? A. He tried to fit in his Indigenous family. B. He recalled amusing moments about mom. C. He wanted to hide his sadness over mother’s death. D. He intended his laugh to make mother rest in peace. 6. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. The author learned from mother a very important life lesson. B. The author failed to relate to his mother from her perspective. C. The author finally understood mother’s sense of humour better. D. The author didn’t write enough humorous books to make mother laugh. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Am I funny? B. Why isn’t Mom laughing? C. What’s so funny? D. Does laughter have an accent? C A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm. The finding raises new concerns about the effect of noise pollution on wildlife — and humans as well. Researchers already knew too much noise is likely to disturb birds, making it more difficult for the parents to communicate with and care for their baby birds. But it wasn’t clear whether the noise itself could directly harm young birds. Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝）— about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments — road noise or bird songs — for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests. Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters. Hans Slabbekoorn, an ecologist and animal behavior expert at Leiden University, notes that these concerns apply to humans as well. “The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.” Eventually, the research might help reveal how much and in what ways noise pollution should be reduced. 8. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study? A. Its process. B. Its result. C. Its difficulty. D. Its purpose. 9. How are the findings explained in paragraph 4? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By making predictions. 10. What do the findings indicate? A. Move the birds from cities to protected areas. B. Make laws to close highways and other noisy places. C. Educate people on the bad effects of noise pollution. D. Pay special attention to the hospital environment for babies. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Traffic noise helps birds communicate B. Scientists have found ways to reduce noise C. Hospital environments are greatly affected D. Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds D A new study of e-sports gamers has found that sparkling water could be a better alternative to still water for those aiming to maintain concentration and alertness during extended periods of desk work. Gamers often rely on caffeine-rich drinks such as coffee or energy drinks to stay in the zone during long sessions. However, consuming these caffeinated drinks in large quantities poses significant potential health risks, including sleep disruption and increased heart burden. Researchers from the University of Tsukuba in Japan thus sought to investigate whether sparkling water could provide a safer and equally effective alternative. On two separate occasions, 14 casual gamers were asked to play virtual soccer for three hours. In one trial, they drank plain water; and in the other, they consumed sparkling water. Based on comprehensive measurements, including reaction speeds, pupil (瞳孔) size changes (a key indicator of tiredness), physical stress hormones, and self-reported exhaustion levels, the results clearly indicated that sparkling water was superior in sustaining attention levels and minimizing tiredness. Scientists propose a plausible theory behind this improvement. The carbon dioxide mixed in sparkling water interacts with specific sensory receptors in the mouth known as “transient receptor potential” (TRP) channels. This interaction triggers an increase in mental alertness, thereby enhancing cognitive performance during extended tasks. Beyond subjective feelings of alertness, players also reported enjoying the sessions more when drinking sparkling water. Furthermore, statistical analysis revealed that players committed fewer in-game errors while under its influence, although their overall offensive and defensive skills remained unchanged. “These findings demonstrate that sparkling water effectively reduces both subjective and objective signs of cognitive tiredness during extended e-sports performance,” the researchers concluded. Nevertheless, these results should be considered alongside the study’s funding sources. The research received partial financial support from a soft drink company that manufactures the sparkling water employed in the experiments, and two of the study’s authors work for this company. These financial links introduce potential conflicts of interest that may have biased the results. 12. What does the study focus on? A. A better option for sustained concentration. B. The effects of caffeine-rich drinks on games. C. Measures to reduce gaming-related tiredness. D. The role of TRP channels in mental alertness. 13. How did sparkling water affect gamers’ performance? A. By increasing physical stress levels. B. By reducing misplay during matches. C. By improving reaction speed significantly. D. By enhancing offensive and defensive skills. 14. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The core logic of the improvement. B. The overall process of the research. C. The key factors for the improvement. D. The procedures for collecting experimental data. 15. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The Hidden Dangers of Caffeine Drinks B. E-sports Gamer’s New Favorite: Sparkling Water C. A New Study on TRP Channels and Mental Alertness D. Sparkling Water — A Safer Choice for E-sports Gamers 第二节（共五小题，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。 How to stay focused while studying Focus is like a muscle: it tires if you use it too long. The brain’s front part, responsible for willpower, needs regular breaks to refill its fuel. Study for 50 minutes and then walk away. A five-minute walk, preferably outside, boosts blood flow and clears mental rubbish. ____16____ Your phone is a slot machine（自动售货机）in your pocket. Every buzz or flashing pictures causes a happy feeling that breaks the weak chain of concentration. ____17____ If that feels impossible, start with “flight mode+1-hour timer”; after four cycles, reward yourself with a 10-minute scroll. The key is to make distraction harder than studying itself. Multitasking is a lie. What feels like doing two things at once is actually the brain switching rapidly between tasks, eating extra sugar each time. ____18____ Close every tab that is not the one you are working on; turn the desk so it faces a blank wall. One task, one window, one goal — that is how deep focus is born. ____19____ Write tomorrow’s top three tasks on a sticky note the night before. Then divide the day into “focus blocks” of 90 minutes at most, with 15-minute recovery gaps. During a block, nothing else exists; during recovery, do something fun and totally unrelated. By 5 p.m. you will have spent four high-quality hours, not ten distracted ones. Finally, train your brain to recognize when it has wandered. The moment you notice yourself rereading the same line, silently say “back” and return to the text. ____20____ After a week, you will catch yourself earlier; after a month, the number of “backs” drops sharply. Soon you will find yourself reading faster and remembering more. A. Therefore, create a single-task battlefield. B. This simple action acts like a mental seat-belt. C. The earlier you start, the longer you can concentrate. D. When you return, your“focus container” is full again. E. Put it in another room, or at least inside a closed drawer. F. Even the brightest students admit that they check phones too often. G. Willpower disappears gradually as the day goes on, so treat focus like money: plan it. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My kids were surprised when they discover a stuffed cat.

Back when he’d been fighting a war, his ____27____ Gee was living alone. Neighbors had taken the time to deal with her garbage cans, and he never ____28____. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us. A few years after we’d moved in, Tom died. We photocopied that letter and ____29____ it to Gee. We told her how special Tom had been to us and how ____30____ we were to have known him. She ____31____ back and told us she still talked to Tom every day. When Gee invited us over to ____32____ a Christmas present, I realized how ____33____ it must be to part with that box, a piece of Tom. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments.

(只有一小部分申请者——大约前5%——能获邀进入第二阶段。这一阶段要求在两周内完成一套详细的书面问题作答)”；第三段中“From there, a final group of standout applicants is chosen for interviews conducted through phone and email.(从这些申请者中，最终会筛选出一组最杰出的候选人，通过电话和邮件进行面试)”可知，选拔过程包括申请提交、书面问题回答和面试三个阶段。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Beyond financial support, selected applicants will also benefit from the recognition and visibility that comes with being chosen by a respected global funding initiative.(除了资金支持外，被选中的申请者还将受益于被一个受人尊敬的全球资助项目选中所带来的认可和知名度)”可知，除了资金支持外，获奖者还能获得更高的公众关注度。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Entry fee部分中的“$50—Extended Registration (by 24 March 2026)(50美元——延期注册(2026年3月24日前))”、“$60—Late Registration (by 21 April 2026)(60美元——逾期注册(2026年4月21日前))”和“Students get a 50% discount(学生可享受五折优惠)”可知，如果在2026年3月26日注册，则已超过延期注册截止日期，属于“逾期注册”，该阶段费用为60美元。但学生享有50%的折扣，因此学生应支付60美元× 50% = 30美元。故选B项。 B In 1990, during a performance of my stage play, I became preoccupied with one particular member of the audience. While everybody else laughed, there she sat, staring at the floor, with her fingers in her ears. I’ll never forget her look of complete discomfort. That woman was my mother. Despite the fact I’d established myself as a humorist, my mother never found me or my work particularly funny. She was my hardest critic. “Is Drew really that funny?” she’d ask family members. To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual (相互的): though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it. My mother was supposedly very funny in her first language, Anishinaabemowin—an Indigenous (原住民的) language, but alas, I didn’t speak it. At family gatherings, when somebody would say something “funny” in Anishinaabemowin, she’d explain it to me. Sometimes the humour translated. Sometimes it didn’t. For a while I was convinced I would never make her laugh. Then, in 2005, I succeeded. I had published a book called Me Funny. In it were dozens of essays deconstructing Indigenous humour, along with 50 so-called “Indian jokes” to break up the various chapters. (For instance, “Why do Native people hate snow? Because it’s white and all over our land.”) She laughed hard and declared, “Wow, that was funny!” In 2009, my mother passed away at the age of 77. During the funeral, in the tears, family member after family member got up and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. Suddenly I remembered a moment from the early ‘90s, when my mother asked me, completely serious, what “owie” meant in French. I struggled to come up with an answer until I spelled it out in my mind: oui (“yes” in English). More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her. I couldn’t see my mother’s forest for my own trees. I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but I’m glad I finally made the connection. 4. What prevented the author and his mother from understanding each other’s humour? A. Language barriers. B. The author’s unique job. C. Mom’s critical personality. D. Views of Indigenous people. 5. Why did the author laugh at mother’s funeral? A. He tried to fit in his Indigenous family. B. He recalled amusing moments about mom. C. He wanted to hide his sadness over mother’s death. D. He intended his laugh to make mother rest in peace. 6. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. The author learned from mother a very important life lesson. B. The author failed to relate to his mother from her perspective. C. The author finally understood mother’s sense of humour better. D. The author didn’t write enough humorous books to make mother laugh. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Am I funny? B. Why isn’t Mom laughing? C. What’s so funny? D. Does laughter have an accent? 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和母亲一直对于对方的幽默不能理解，直到母亲逝世后，才发现是由于自己没有从母亲的角度去理解她。最后，作者希望能在母亲活着的时候和她分享那些笑声，但是作者最终理解了母亲的那些笑话，终于和母亲建立了联系。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual : though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it. My mother was supposedly very funny in her first language, Anishinaabemowin—an Indigenous language, but alas, I didn’t speak it. At family gatherings, when somebody would say something “funny” in Anishinaabemowin, she’d explain it to me. Sometimes the humour translated. Sometimes it didn’t.”(更糟糕的是，这种感觉是相互的：虽然我们的社交圈都说她很幽默，但我从来没有看到过。我的母亲在她的第一语言anishinaabemowin(一种土著语言)中被认为非常有趣，但是，唉，我不会说这种语言。在家庭聚会上，当有人用Anishinaabemowin说一些“有趣”的事情时，她会向我解释。有时幽默被翻译出来了。有时候没有。)可知，是语言障碍阻碍了作者和他的母亲相互理解对方的幽默。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五、六段中“During the funeral, in the tears, family member after family member got up and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. Suddenly I remembered a moment from the early ‘90s, when my mother asked me, completely serious, what “owie” meant in French. I struggled to come up with an answer until I spelled it out in my mind: oui (“yes” in English)...More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her.”(在葬礼上，一个又一个的家人哭着站起来，讲述她多年来做过的事情和说过的话。令我惊讶的是，我发现自己笑了。突然，我想起了90年代初的一个时刻，我母亲非常严肃地问我，“owie”在法语中是什么意思。我挣扎着想出一个答案，直到我在脑海中拼出来：oui(英语中的“是的”)......越来越多关于她的故事浮出水面。想起她，我们都笑了。)可知，作者在母亲的葬礼上笑是因为他回忆起关于妈妈的有趣时刻。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual : though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it.”(更糟糕的是，这种感觉是相互的：虽然我们的社交圈都说她很幽默，但我从来没有看到过。)以及文章最后一句“I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but I’m glad I finally made the connection.”(我希望我能在她活着的时候和她分享那些笑声，但我很高兴我终于建立了联系。)可知，作者在母亲活着的时候从没理解母亲的笑话，由此可推知，划线句子的意思是“作者没有从他母亲的角度去理解她。”故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“Despite the fact I’d established myself as a humorist, my mother never found me or my work particularly funny. She was my hardest critic. “Is Drew really that funny?” she’d ask family members.”(尽管我已经把自己塑造成一个幽默作家，但我母亲从未觉得我或我的作品特别有趣。她是我最严厉的批评家。“德鲁真的那么有趣吗?”她会问家人。)和第四段“For a while I was convinced I would never make her laugh. Then, in 2005, I succeeded. I had published a book called Me Funny. In it were dozens of essays deconstructing Indigenous humour, along with 50 so-called “Indian jokes” to break up the various chapters. (For instance, “Why do Native people hate snow? Because it’s white and all over our land.”) She laughed hard and declared, “Wow, that was funny!””(有一段时间，我确信我永远也逗不了她笑。2005年，我成功了。我出版了一本叫《我很有趣》的书。书中有几十篇文章解构了印第安人的幽默，还有50个所谓的“印第安笑话”，作为各个章节的分句。（例如，“为什么原住民讨厌雪?”因为它是白色的，遍布我们的土地。”）她大笑着说:“哇，真有趣!”)可知，文章一直在说作者和母亲关于幽默的事情，故可推知文章最好的标题为“什么事这么好笑？”。故选C项。 C A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm. The finding raises new concerns about the effect of noise pollution on wildlife — and humans as well. Researchers already knew too much noise is likely to disturb birds, making it more difficult for the parents to communicate with and care for their baby birds. But it wasn’t clear whether the noise itself could directly harm young birds. Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝）— about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments — road noise or bird songs — for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests. Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters. Hans Slabbekoorn, an ecologist and animal behavior expert at Leiden University, notes that these concerns apply to humans as well. “The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.” Eventually, the research might help reveal how much and in what ways noise pollution should be reduced. 8. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study? A. Its process. B. Its result. C. Its difficulty. D. Its purpose. 9. How are the findings explained in paragraph 4? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By making predictions. 10. What do the findings indicate? A. Move the birds from cities to protected areas. B. Make laws to close highways and other noisy places. C. Educate people on the bad effects of noise pollution. D. Pay special attention to the hospital environment for babies. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Traffic noise helps birds communicate B. Scientists have found ways to reduce noise C. Hospital environments are greatly affected D. Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇科普说明文，主要讲述了一项新的研究发现，交通噪音会影响小鸟的成长并导致终身伤害，这也引发了对噪音污染对野生动物和人类影响的新的担忧。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia.

After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments—road noise or bird songs—for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests.”（迪肯大学的行为生态学家Mylene Mariette和她的团队开始用澳大利亚墨尔本校园里饲养的鸟类来回答这个问题。连续5个晚上，他们连续几个小时播放道路噪音或鸟鸣。这些声音的音量被控制在65分贝——大约与酒吧里的谈话或城市交通中的声音相同。其他的蛋被静静地留在那里。蛋孵化后，雏鸟在接下来的9个晚上接受两种处理方式中的一种——道路噪音或鸟鸣。幼鸟在一个单独的房间里听到了这些声音，然后被送回了它们的巢。）可知，第三段主要关于研究的过程。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters.”（与那些暴露在歌声中的蛋相比，暴露在交通声音中的蛋孵化的可能性要低19%。Mariette说，这显示了交通噪音的明显影响。随着幼鸟的发育，它们也表现出令人担忧的发育迹象。那些暴露在噪音中的鸟生长得更慢。此外，当这些鸟长大后，它们的后代数量大约是幼年时听过歌声的鸟的一半。）可知，第4段通过对比解释调查结果。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.”（研究结果表明，城市和高速公路沿线鸟类的声环境应该得到更好的管理，”他写道，“医院环境中孕妇和婴儿的声舒适需要特别注意。”）可知，要特别注意婴儿的医院环境。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm.”（一项关于幼鸟的新研究表明，交通噪音会影响它们的生长，并导致终身伤害。）可知，主要讲述了一项新的研究发现，交通噪音会影响小鸟的成长并导致终身伤害，这也引发了对噪音污染对野生动物和人类影响的新的担忧。所以短文的标题为“交通噪音对幼鸟造成终身伤害”。故选D。 D A new study of e-sports gamers has found that sparkling water could be a better alternative to still water for those aiming to maintain concentration and alertness during extended periods of desk work. Gamers often rely on caffeine-rich drinks such as coffee or energy drinks to stay in the zone during long sessions. However, consuming these caffeinated drinks in large quantities poses significant potential health risks, including sleep disruption and increased heart burden. Researchers from the University of Tsukuba in Japan thus sought to investigate whether sparkling water could provide a safer and equally effective alternative. On two separate occasions, 14 casual gamers were asked to play virtual soccer for three hours. In one trial, they drank plain water; and in the other, they consumed sparkling water. Based on comprehensive measurements, including reaction speeds, pupil (瞳孔) size changes (a key indicator of tiredness), physical stress hormones, and self-reported exhaustion levels, the results clearly indicated that sparkling water was superior in sustaining attention levels and minimizing tiredness. Scientists propose a plausible theory behind this improvement. The carbon dioxide mixed in sparkling water interacts with specific sensory receptors in the mouth known as “transient receptor potential” (TRP) channels. This interaction triggers an increase in mental alertness, thereby enhancing cognitive performance during extended tasks. Beyond subjective feelings of alertness, players also reported enjoying the sessions more when drinking sparkling water. Furthermore, statistical analysis revealed that players committed fewer in-game errors while under its influence, although their overall offensive and defensive skills remained unchanged. “These findings demonstrate that sparkling water effectively reduces both subjective and objective signs of cognitive tiredness during extended e-sports performance,” the researchers concluded. Nevertheless, these results should be considered alongside the study’s funding sources. The research received partial financial support from a soft drink company that manufactures the sparkling water employed in the experiments, and two of the study’s authors work for this company. These financial links introduce potential conflicts of interest that may have biased the results. 12. What does the study focus on? A. A better option for sustained concentration. B. The effects of caffeine-rich drinks on games. C. Measures to reduce gaming-related tiredness. D. The role of TRP channels in mental alertness. 13. How did sparkling water affect gamers’ performance? A. By increasing physical stress levels. B. By reducing misplay during matches. C. By improving reaction speed significantly. D. By enhancing offensive and defensive skills. 14. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. The core logic of the improvement. B. The overall process of the research. C. The key factors for the improvement. D. The procedures for collecting experimental data. 15. What’s the best title for the passage? A. The Hidden Dangers of Caffeine Drinks B. E-sports Gamer’s New Favorite: Sparkling Water C. A New Study on TRP Channels and Mental Alertness D. Sparkling Water — A Safer Choice for E-sports Gamers 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍研究发现气泡水有助电竞玩家提神减失误，同时指出研究存在利益相关隐患。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study of e-sports gamers has found that sparkling water could be a better alternative to still water for those aiming to maintain concentration and alertness during extended periods of desk work.

The brain’s front part, responsible for willpower, needs regular breaks to refill its fuel. Study for 50 minutes and then walk away. A five-minute walk, preferably outside, boosts blood flow and clears mental rubbish. ____16____ Your phone is a slot machine（自动售货机）in your pocket. Every buzz or flashing pictures causes a happy feeling that breaks the weak chain of concentration. ____17____ If that feels impossible, start with “flight mode+1-hour timer”; after four cycles, reward yourself with a 10-minute scroll. The key is to make distraction harder than studying itself. Multitasking is a lie. What feels like doing two things at once is actually the brain switching rapidly between tasks, eating extra sugar each time. ____18____ Close every tab that is not the one you are working on; turn the desk so it faces a blank wall. One task, one window, one goal — that is how deep focus is born. ____19____ Write tomorrow’s top three tasks on a sticky note the night before. Then divide the day into “focus blocks” of 90 minutes at most, with 15-minute recovery gaps. During a block, nothing else exists; during recovery, do something fun and totally unrelated. By 5 p.m. you will have spent four high-quality hours, not ten distracted ones. Finally, train your brain to recognize when it has wandered. The moment you notice yourself rereading the same line, silently say “back” and return to the text. ____20____ After a week, you will catch yourself earlier; after a month, the number of “backs” drops sharply. Soon you will find yourself reading faster and remembering more. A. Therefore, create a single-task battlefield. B. This simple action acts like a mental seat-belt. C. The earlier you start, the longer you can concentrate. D. When you return, your“focus container” is full again. E. Put it in another room, or at least inside a closed drawer. F. Even the brightest students admit that they check phones too often. G. Willpower disappears gradually as the day goes on, so treat focus like money: plan it. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. A 19. G 20.
