A 【解析】 【导语】本主主要介绍了Studio21国际短剧本竞赛的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Studio21 International has opened its 2026 script competition with a mission to uncover a hit micro-drama that can appeal to a contemporary audience worldwide.(21 国际影视工作室现已开启 2026 年度剧本征集大赛，本次赛事旨在挖掘一部爆款微短剧，使其能够打动全球当代观众。)”可知，这场比赛的主要目的是寻找爆款短剧。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据What to submit部分“However, priority will be given to scripts that fit into the following themes:· Realistic tales set in modern society· Coming-of-age stories· Stories focused on interpersonal relationships· Psychological dramas(但赛事将优先遴选符合以下题材的剧本：现代社会背景下的现实题材故事，青春成长类故事，聚焦人际关系的故事，心理题材剧集)”可知，青少年拍视频记录校园生活更容易入围初选名单。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据How we evaluate部分表格信息：“Shortlist Announcement: 21 scripts selected(入围名单公布：21 部剧本成功入选)”和“Finalists Announcement: 7 finalists selected(决赛入围名单公布：共选出 7 部入围决赛作品)”可知，入围初选的剧本里，7 ÷ 21 =1/3比例能晋级决赛。 B Krithi Karanth, a conservation biologist heading India’s Centre for Wildlife Studies, has earned the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year owing to her remarkable devotion to championing the role that community engagement plays in protecting wildlife. Growing up in India, Karanth witnessed a severe reality. Crowded with 1.4 billion people, India is also a stronghold for wildlife. The human-wildlife bonds are delicate to maintain. When elephants damage crops or leopards attack domestic animals, the fallout often ruins families, who will get back at them in return. In view of such a paradox, Karanth realized that simply protecting habitats was insufficient and that winning residents’ hearts and minds mattered equally. Having spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside dangerous animals, she launched Wild Seve, a platform allowing victims to request financial claims from the government when wildlife destroys their crops or property. Trained field staff document losses, file claims and track cases, as they’re processed by government officials. Wild Seve has helped around 17,000 families, which, Karanth argues, reduces locals’ likelihood of hunting out of anger. Nevertheless, merely easing unfavorable consequences didn’t wipe out anger. Some families kept hunting to release their bitterness. That’s why Karanth turned to early-stage education. Partnering with local schools, she created Wild Shaale, a program designed to inspire curiosity about and respect for wild creatures by means of games, story-sharing and artistic activities. The project helps students get familiar with surrounding wildlife, analyze the roots of human-wildlife tension and master proper coping methods. Launched as a pilot program in dozens of classrooms back in 2018, Wild Shaale has been available in roughly 1,600 Indian schools. “Karanth has fueled a movement of hope across India,” says National Geographic’s CEO. “She is redefining how humans coexist with nature. Having residents who tolerate the presence of wild animals is a massive victory.” Next, Karanth intends to spread her concepts beyond India and nurture young global environmental guardians. 4. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A reasoning error. B. A shallow solution. C. A common belief. D. A conflicting situation. 5. What does Wild Seve help victims of wildlife obtain? A. Temporary shelter. B. Sufficient grain supply. C. Damage payments. D. Free property maintenance. 6. On what basis did Karanth found Wild Shaale? A. Seeing is believing. B. Prevention beats fixes. C. Better late than never. D. Actions speak louder than words. 7. Which of the following best describes Krithi Karanth? A. Committed and ambitious. B. Disciplined and patient. C. Sympathetic and generous. D. Independent and humble. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述印度生物保护学家Krithi Karanth提出双轨方案化解人兽冲突，创立两大公益项目，荣获年度探险家奖并计划向全球推广理念。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Growing up in India, Karanth witnessed a severe reality. Crowded with 1.4 billion people, India is also a stronghold for wildlife. The human-wildlife bonds are delicate to maintain. When elephants damage crops or leopards attack domestic animals, the fallout often ruins families, who will get back at them in return.( Karanth在印度长大，目睹了残酷的现实。印度拥有14亿人口，人口稠密，同时也是野生动物的重要栖息地。人类与野生动物之间的联系很难维系。当大象毁坏庄稼，或是豹子袭击家畜时，带来的后果往往会毁掉一个个家庭，而这些家庭又会反过来报复野生动物。)”和第三段中的“In view of such a paradox, Karanth realized that simply protecting habitats was insufficient and that winning residents’ hearts and minds mattered equally.(鉴于这样一种矛盾情况，Karanth意识到仅仅保护栖息地是不够的，争取当地居民的认同与支持同样重要。)”可知，当地野生动物保护与民众财产利益相互冲突，形成两难对立的局面，因此，画线单词“paradox”指代相互冲突的处境。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Having spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside dangerous animals, she launched Wild Seve, a platform allowing victims to request financial claims from the government when wildlife destroys their crops or property. Trained field staff document losses, file claims and track cases, as they’re processed by government officials.(多年来她研究创新方案，助力人类与危险动物共存，在此基础上她创立了Wild Seve，该平台可供受灾民众在野生动物损毁庄稼或财物时向政府申请经济赔偿。)”可知，Wild Seve帮助遭受野生动物损害的民众获取损失补偿金。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Nevertheless, merely easing unfavorable consequences didn’t wipe out anger. Some families kept hunting to release their bitterness. That’s why Karanth turned to early-stage education. Partnering with local schools, she created Wild Shaale, a program designed to inspire curiosity about and respect for wild creatures by means of games, story-sharing and artistic activities.(尽管如此，仅仅缓解不利后果并不能消除人们的怒火。一些家庭依旧捕猎动物来宣泄心中的苦楚。这便是 Karanth 着手开展早期教育的原因。她与当地学校合作，创办了Wild Shaale，一个旨在通过游戏、故事分享和艺术活动，唤起人们对野生动物的好奇与敬畏的项目。)”可知，该项目立足于事前预防冲突，而非等损失发生后补救，契合“预防胜于补救”的理念。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的 “Krithi Karanth, a conservation biologist heading India’s Centre for Wildlife Studies, has earned the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year owing to her remarkable devotion to championing the role that community engagement plays in protecting wildlife.( Krithi Karanth 是执掌印度野生动物研究中心的保护生物学家，她因全力倡导社区参与在野生动物保护中发挥作用，付出卓著，斩获 2026劳力士国家地理年度探险家奖。)”和第五段中的 “Next, Karanth intends to spread her concepts beyond India and nurture young global environmental guardians.(下一步，Karanth计划将这套共生理念推广至印度境外，培养全球青年环保守护者。)”可知，第一段内容体现她投身野生动物保护、尽职尽责；第五段内容体现她拥有走向全球推广环保理念的远大抱负，因此她是专注投入且胸怀远大的人。 C You ask your wife to pick a local restaurant and pick up some take-out one evening. Then, while logging in to a Zoom meeting, you also ask your mom to buy some wine on her way home. While they follow through on your requests, you are left astonished and annoyed: How is it that they could pick a restaurant that was involved in a health scandal (丑闻) last month? And why would they choose a type of wine you hate? The husband above has been caught by a psychological effect known as the curse (诅咒) of knowledge. It’s a simple but destructive effect: once we know something, it’s very difficult to imagine not knowing it, or to take the perspective of someone who doesn’t. The effect was first put forward by Elizabeth Newton, a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford, in 1990. Newton arranged an experiment in which one person, a tapper (敲击者), was asked to tap out the melody (旋律) of a popular song, while another person, the listener, was asked to identify it. The tappers assumed that their listeners would correctly identify about 50% of their melodies; they were amazed to learn that the listeners only got about one out of 40 songs correct. To the tappers, their melodies sounded perfectly clear and obvious, but the listeners heard no music and no instrumentation in their heads, who only heard noise of a finger tapping on a table. As I noted in a post about the Dunning-Kruger effect last year, people who aren’t well-informed are quite likely to feel confident in their opinions, because they don’t know enough to question their own unearned confidence. Similarly, we often make an unrecognized assumption: someone can read our minds or form opinions based on information we haven’t shared. This assumption often leads us to feel we’ve clearly expressed our wants and needs even when we haven’t. 8. Why is the husband shocked and angry? A. His requests were refused. B. He preferred sweet wines. C. His wife purchased unnecessary items. D. He disagreed with his family’s options. 9. What is a feature of the curse of knowledge? A. It overstates people’s innovation. B. It causes people to ignore advice. C. It blinds people to others’ ignorance. D. It stops people from sharing opinions. 10. What can be inferred from Elizabeth Newton’s experiment? A. Tappers succeeded in controlling the speed. B. Tappers failed to consider listeners’ actuality. C. Listeners with hearing loss had bad perception. D. Listeners fond of pop music hated instruments. 11. How can we remove the curse of knowledge? A. By detailing our thoughts. B. By figuring out our needs. C. By listening to diverse ideas. D. By showing the action steps. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了“知识的诅咒”这一心理学效应。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While they follow through on your requests, you are left astonished and annoyed: How is it that they could pick a restaurant that was involved in a health scandal (丑闻) last month? And why would they choose a type of wine you hate?(尽管她们按照你的要求完成任务，你却感到惊讶和恼怒：她们怎么会选一家上个月卷入健康丑闻的餐厅？为什么她们会选一款你讨厌的葡萄酒？)”可知，丈夫生气是因为家人选择的餐厅和葡萄酒都不符合他的偏好，他不认可家人的选择。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s a simple but destructive effect: once we know something, it’s very difficult to imagine not knowing it, or to take the perspective of someone who doesn’t.(这是一种简单却极具破坏性的效应：一旦我们知道了某件事，就很难想象不知道这件事，也很难站在不知道这件事的人的角度思考)”可知，知识的诅咒会让人们无法感知他人的未知状态，也就是让人们对他人的无知视而不见。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The tappers assumed that their listeners would correctly identify about 50% of their melodies; they were amazed to learn that the listeners only got about one out of 40 songs correct. To the tappers, their melodies sounded perfectly clear and obvious, but the listeners heard no music and no instrumentation in their heads, who only heard noise of a finger tapping on a table.(敲击者认为听众能正确识别大约50%的旋律；当他们得知听众在40首歌里只能对大约1首时，他们非常惊讶。对敲击者来说，他们的旋律听起来非常清晰明了，但听众脑子里听不到音乐和乐器伴奏，只能听到手指敲击桌子的噪音)”可知，敲击者已经知道歌曲旋律，就默认听众也能像自己一样分辨出旋律，完全没有考虑到听众只听到手指敲击桌子的声音却根本不知道原旋律这一实际情况。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Similarly, we often make an unrecognized assumption: someone can read our minds or form opinions based on information we haven’t shared. This assumption often leads us to feel we’ve clearly expressed our wants and needs even when we haven’t.(类似地，我们经常会做出一个未被认识的假设：别人能根据我们没有分享过的信息读懂我们的心思或形成观点。这种假设常常会让我们以为自己已经清楚表达了我们的愿望和需求，即便实际上我们并没有)”可知，知识的诅咒本质源于我们没有把自己知道的信息完整传递给他人，因此消除知识诅咒的方法就是详细完整地表达出我们的想法。 D Many people are used to switching tasks frequently: checking mobile messages while reading documents, answering sudden work requests in the middle of study, or replying to social chats when concentrating on thinking. You may think you are being productive, but chances are you are hurting your brain more than helping it. Modern cognitive (认知的) psychology research suggests that constant interruption decreases thinking efficiency more than most people imagine. Researchers carried out a controlled experiment for office staff. One group worked without intentional interruption, while the other group received scheduled message reminders every 15 minutes. Statistics showed that the interrupted group’s work error rate rose by 42%, and their sense of mental exhaustion increased obviously even with the same working hours. Psychologists explained that the human prefrontal cortex cannot process two sets of complex logical information at the same time. So-called multitasking is actually rapid forced switching between tasks. Every interruption will make the brain lose the built-up logical context, and it takes an average of 23 minutes for focused thinking to fully recover. Frequent task switches consume massive cognitive energy on state adjustment, leaving insufficient mental resources for core reasoning and memory sorting. This phenomenon is particularly concerning in the modern workplace, where employees are often expected to handle emails, messages, and meetings at the same time. One of the reasons why this is problematic is that fragmented work reduces not only individual productivity but also the depth of thinking required for creative problem-solving. In other words, multitasking may create the impression of busyness while reducing the quality of our output. This cognitive law applies to student learning and workplace management alike. Setting fixed concentrated working periods, turning off non-essential message reminders, and gathering minor chores for unified processing can effectively avoid unnecessary interruption. Understanding this psychological feature helps people get rid of fragmented distraction and rebuild efficient long-time focused thinking ability. 12. What finding do modern cognitive psychology studies come to? A. Productivity declines during difficult tasks.  B. The thinking efficiency varies with task types. C. It is well accepted to switch tasks frequently.  D. People underestimate the harm of interruption. 13. What makes true multitasking impossible for humans? A. The limitation of a specific brain region.  B. The mental energy wasted in task switching. C. The frequent message reminders at work.  D. The long time consumed in regaining focus. 14. What measure does the text suggest against fragmented distraction? A. Deal with emails whenever they arrive.  B. Schedule specific deep work time blocks. C. Raise people’s problem-solving ability.  D. Finish the less important at one’s free time. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Constant Task Switching Tires Your Brain  B. How Students Can Improve Learning Efficiency C. The Advantages of Long-time Focused Thinking  D. New Findings on Human Brain Memory System 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍现代认知心理学相关研究，指出频繁切换任务会不断打断思考、降低大脑思考效率，解释了人脑无法真正同时处理多项复杂任务的原理，并给出减少碎片化干扰、保持深度专注的方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Modern cognitive (认知的) psychology research suggests that constant interruption decreases thinking efficiency more than most people imagine.(现代认知心理学研究表明，持续干扰对思考效率的降低程度超出大多数人的想象)”可知，人们低估了干扰带来的危害。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Psychologists explained that the human prefrontal cortex cannot process two sets of complex logical information at the same time.(心理学家解释，人类前额叶皮层无法同时处理两组复杂逻辑信息)”可知，特定大脑区域的局限让人类无法实现真正的多任务处理。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Setting fixed concentrated working periods, turning off non-essential message reminders, and gathering minor chores for unified processing can effectively avoid unnecessary interruption.(设定固定的专注工作时段、关闭非必要消息提醒、集中处理零散琐事，可以有效避免不必要的干扰)”可知，文中建议规划专门的深度工作时间段来应对碎片化干扰。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Frequent task switches consume massive cognitive energy on state adjustment, leaving insufficient mental resources for core reasoning and memory sorting.(频繁切换任务会消耗大量认知资源用于状态调整，留给核心推理和信息整理的脑力不足)”以及全文围绕频繁任务切换对大脑的负面影响展开论述可知，文章重在阐释频繁切换任务使人脑疲惫的原因，所以“为什么频繁切换任务会让大脑疲惫”最贴合文章主旨。 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。 In my mid-twenties, I boarded a plane to Istanbul with a vague unease I was too embarrassed to name. My thoughts about the city had been shaped by what I saw in the news and heard from others: crowded streets, unfriendly locals, strange customs. Stepping out of the airport, I waited for the discomfort to settle. ____16____ Instead, I found shopkeepers offering tea to strangers, teenagers practicing English while playing games, and a grandmother motioning me to join her family’s dinner simply because I looked lost. ____17____ Psychologist Gordon Allport’s “contact theory” explains this. He said that when people from different groups meet as equals and work toward common goals, prejudice can break down. In my case, a local and I tried together to read a broken public transit map. ____18____ Small moments like these change us. Watching a grandmother buy vegetables in a Moroccan market, or listening to a taxi driver in Hanoi talk about his daughter’s college dreams — these moments turn strangers into real people. The “foreigner” stops being an idea and becomes a neighbor. As one traveler once said, “the more we travel authentically, the more we see our shared human experiences.” ____19____ If you stay inside a resort and never talk to locals, you might actually keep your old prejudices. Travel does not always make things better right away. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable at first. But each honest conversation — sharing a meal, laughing at a language mistake, watching daily life happen — breaks down the prejudices. When I left that dinner table in Istanbul, we still couldn’t fully understand each other’s language. ____20____ I had learned something important: what unites us is much bigger than what separates us. The world feels less foreign when we finally sit at its tables. A. It never came. B. But that didn’t matter. C. Of course, not every trip will open your mind. D. In one week, my old prejudices disappeared. E. These moments revealed why traveling light mattered. F. We were both confused and both trying to help each other. G. I admit overcoming language barriers is key to cultural exchange. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. F 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者通过伊斯坦布尔的真实旅行经历，结合接触理论，阐明真诚的人际接触能打破偏见，揭示人类共享情感远多于分歧。 【16题详解】 上文“Stepping out of the airport, I waited for the discomfort to settle.(走出机场，我等待着那种不适感袭来)”提到作者预期会感到不适，及下文“Instead, I found shopkeepers offering tea to strangers, teenagers practicing English while playing games, and a grandmother motioning me to join her family’s dinner simply because I looked lost.

Travel does not always make things better right away. (如果你待在度假村，从不和当地人交谈，你可能实际上会保留旧的偏见。旅行并不总是立刻让事情变好)”指出并非所有旅行都能打破偏见，C选项“Of course, not every trip will open your mind.(当然，并非每次旅行都会开阔你的眼界)”概括下文含义，引出下文条件，符合语境。 【20题详解】 上文“When I left that dinner table in Istanbul, we still couldn’t fully understand each other’s language. (当我离开伊斯坦布尔的那张餐桌时，我们仍然不能完全理解彼此的语言)”提到语言障碍，及下文“I had learned something important: what unites us is much bigger than what separates us.(我学到了重要的一课：团结我们的东西远比分隔我们的东西更强大)”强调超越语言的领悟，B选项“But that didn’t matter.(但那没关系)”中的“that”指代语言障碍，与下文“没关系”形成转折，承上启下，符合语境。 ★ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was a Northern newcomer to a Southern adult community.

Our teacher asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get my project done.” I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the moment I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing. I forgot baseball would last longer than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The minute I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang. It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year! Feeling there was still time, I went anyway. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o’clock when I finally got home. I planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me. 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。 Paragraph 1: Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The big “F” on my paper urged me to reflect and improve. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】（1） Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” What Dad uttered was a hammer blow to me, leaving me into deeper anxiety. However, that was one of our family rules, so I had no choice but to do the dishes reluctantly. The clinking of dishes were disquieting sounds from hell to me, reminding me that the clock was ticking second by second. After I threw the last dish into the cabinet, I dashed to my bedroom, only to find that the hour hand had moved past ten. Without much time left, I finished the assignment in a hurry. The next day, I handed in it nervously. The big “F” on my paper urged me to reflect and improve. My life seemed in a mess these days, arising from my loose attitude and messy schedule. My energy was segmented and occupied by some trivial matters which had nothing to do with my project. I just shoot myself in the foot. Out of guilt, I tried to get the projected improved and promised to my teacher that this would never happen again, After this experience, I eventually comprehended the importance of time, and began to arrange for my schedule with caution. With confidence, I was firmly convinced that I could get a satisfying score in the next assignment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了合理安排时间的重要性。老师给作者所在的班级布置了一项任务，作者只有两个晚上的时间来完成它，但她认为自己可以很快完成这项任务，所以第一天晚上根本没有做这个任务。她本打算第二天晚上完成，但却又因为去参加棒球训练和去朋友家装饰饼干耽误了时间。当作者返回家中，正打算完成这项任务时，又被打断了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我要开始的时候，爸爸说：‘乔安娜，轮到你洗碗了。’”可知，第一段可描写作者因为洗碗又耽误了时间及作者的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“论文上的大大的“F”促使我反思和改进。”可知，第二段可描写作者对自己浪费时间的行为的反思及反思后的行动。 2.续写线索：开始洗碗——感到焦虑——洗碗结束——完成作业——反思过去——明白时间的重要性——向老师道歉——重拾信心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：find/spot ②冲入：dash to/rush into ③理解：comprehend/understand 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiety/worry ②不情愿地：reluctantly/unwillingly 【点睛】【高分句型1】What Dad uttered was a hammer blow to me, leaving me into deeper anxiety.（运用了由What引导的主语从句、现在分词leaving作状语） 【高分句型2】After I threw the last dish into the cabinet, I dashed to my bedroom, only to find that the hour hand had moved past ten. （运用了由After引导的时间状语从句、that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型3】My energy was segmented and occupied by some trivial matters which had nothing to do with my project.（运用了由which引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 襄阳四中2027届高三年级质量监测（一） 英语试题 用时：120分钟  分值：150分 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用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，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B Krithi Karanth, a conservation biologist heading India’s Centre for Wildlife Studies, has earned the 2026 Rolex National Geographic Explorer of the Year owing to her remarkable devotion to championing the role that community engagement plays in protecting wildlife. Growing up in India, Karanth witnessed a severe reality. Crowded with 1.4 billion people, India is also a stronghold for wildlife. The human-wildlife bonds are delicate to maintain. When elephants damage crops or leopards attack domestic animals, the fallout often ruins families, who will get back at them in return. In view of such a paradox, Karanth realized that simply protecting habitats was insufficient and that winning residents’ hearts and minds mattered equally. Having spent years developing novel strategies to help people live alongside dangerous animals, she launched Wild Seve, a platform allowing victims to request financial claims from the government when wildlife destroys their crops or property. Trained field staff document losses, file claims and track cases, as they’re processed by government officials. Wild Seve has helped around 17,000 families, which, Karanth argues, reduces locals’ likelihood of hunting out of anger. Nevertheless, merely easing unfavorable consequences didn’t wipe out anger. Some families kept hunting to release their bitterness. That’s why Karanth turned to early-stage education. Partnering with local schools, she created Wild Shaale, a program designed to inspire curiosity about and respect for wild creatures by means of games, story-sharing and artistic activities. The project helps students get familiar with surrounding wildlife, analyze the roots of human-wildlife tension and master proper coping methods. Launched as a pilot program in dozens of classrooms back in 2018, Wild Shaale has been available in roughly 1,600 Indian schools. “Karanth has fueled a movement of hope across India,” says National Geographic’s CEO. “She is redefining how humans coexist with nature. Having residents who tolerate the presence of wild animals is a massive victory.” Next, Karanth intends to spread her concepts beyond India and nurture young global environmental guardians. 4. What does the underlined word “paradox” in paragraph 3 mean? A. A reasoning error. B. A shallow solution. C. A common belief. D. A conflicting situation. 5. What does Wild Seve help victims of wildlife obtain? A. Temporary shelter. B. Sufficient grain supply. C. Damage payments. D. Free property maintenance. 6. On what basis did Karanth found Wild Shaale? A. Seeing is believing. B. Prevention beats fixes. C. Better late than never. D. Actions speak louder than words. 7. Which of the following best describes Krithi Karanth? A. Committed and ambitious. B. Disciplined and patient. C. Sympathetic and generous. D. Independent and humble. C You ask your wife to pick a local restaurant and pick up some take-out one evening. Then, while logging in to a Zoom meeting, you also ask your mom to buy some wine on her way home. While they follow through on your requests, you are left astonished and annoyed: How is it that they could pick a restaurant that was involved in a health scandal (丑闻) last month? And why would they choose a type of wine you hate? The husband above has been caught by a psychological effect known as the curse (诅咒) of knowledge. It’s a simple but destructive effect: once we know something, it’s very difficult to imagine not knowing it, or to take the perspective of someone who doesn’t. The effect was first put forward by Elizabeth Newton, a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford, in 1990. Newton arranged an experiment in which one person, a tapper (敲击者), was asked to tap out the melody (旋律) of a popular song, while another person, the listener, was asked to identify it. The tappers assumed that their listeners would correctly identify about 50% of their melodies; they were amazed to learn that the listeners only got about one out of 40 songs correct. To the tappers, their melodies sounded perfectly clear and obvious, but the listeners heard no music and no instrumentation in their heads, who only heard noise of a finger tapping on a table. As I noted in a post about the Dunning-Kruger effect last year, people who aren’t well-informed are quite likely to feel confident in their opinions, because they don’t know enough to question their own unearned confidence. Similarly, we often make an unrecognized assumption: someone can read our minds or form opinions based on information we haven’t shared. This assumption often leads us to feel we’ve clearly expressed our wants and needs even when we haven’t. 8. Why is the husband shocked and angry? A. His requests were refused. B. He preferred sweet wines. C. His wife purchased unnecessary items. D. He disagreed with his family’s options. 9. What is a feature of the curse of knowledge? A. It overstates people’s innovation. B. It causes people to ignore advice. C. It blinds people to others’ ignorance. D. It stops people from sharing opinions. 10. What can be inferred from Elizabeth Newton’s experiment? A. Tappers succeeded in controlling the speed. B. Tappers failed to consider listeners’ actuality. C. Listeners with hearing loss had bad perception. D. Listeners fond of pop music hated instruments. 11. How can we remove the curse of knowledge? A. By detailing our thoughts. B. By figuring out our needs. C. By listening to diverse ideas. D. By showing the action steps. D Many people are used to switching tasks frequently: checking mobile messages while reading documents, answering sudden work requests in the middle of study, or replying to social chats when concentrating on thinking. You may think you are being productive, but chances are you are hurting your brain more than helping it. Modern cognitive (认知的) psychology research suggests that constant interruption decreases thinking efficiency more than most people imagine. Researchers carried out a controlled experiment for office staff. One group worked without intentional interruption, while the other group received scheduled message reminders every 15 minutes. Statistics showed that the interrupted group’s work error rate rose by 42%, and their sense of mental exhaustion increased obviously even with the same working hours. Psychologists explained that the human prefrontal cortex cannot process two sets of complex logical information at the same time. So-called multitasking is actually rapid forced switching between tasks. Every interruption will make the brain lose the built-up logical context, and it takes an average of 23 minutes for focused thinking to fully recover. Frequent task switches consume massive cognitive energy on state adjustment, leaving insufficient mental resources for core reasoning and memory sorting. This phenomenon is particularly concerning in the modern workplace, where employees are often expected to handle emails, messages, and meetings at the same time. One of the reasons why this is problematic is that fragmented work reduces not only individual productivity but also the depth of thinking required for creative problem-solving. In other words, multitasking may create the impression of busyness while reducing the quality of our output. This cognitive law applies to student learning and workplace management alike. Setting fixed concentrated working periods, turning off non-essential message reminders, and gathering minor chores for unified processing can effectively avoid unnecessary interruption. Understanding this psychological feature helps people get rid of fragmented distraction and rebuild efficient long-time focused thinking ability. 12. What finding do modern cognitive psychology studies come to? A. Productivity declines during difficult tasks.  B. The thinking efficiency varies with task types. C. It is well accepted to switch tasks frequently.  D. People underestimate the harm of interruption. 13. What makes true multitasking impossible for humans? A. The limitation of a specific brain region.  B. The mental energy wasted in task switching. C. The frequent message reminders at work.  D. The long time consumed in regaining focus. 14. What measure does the text suggest against fragmented distraction? A. Deal with emails whenever they arrive.  B. Schedule specific deep work time blocks. C. Raise people’s problem-solving ability.  D. Finish the less important at one’s free time. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Constant Task Switching Tires Your Brain  B. How Students Can Improve Learning Efficiency C. The Advantages of Long-time Focused Thinking  D.

My thoughts about the city had been shaped by what I saw in the news and heard from others: crowded streets, unfriendly locals, strange customs. Stepping out of the airport, I waited for the discomfort to settle. ____16____ Instead, I found shopkeepers offering tea to strangers, teenagers practicing English while playing games, and a grandmother motioning me to join her family’s dinner simply because I looked lost. ____17____ Psychologist Gordon Allport’s “contact theory” explains this. He said that when people from different groups meet as equals and work toward common goals, prejudice can break down. In my case, a local and I tried together to read a broken public transit map. ____18____ Small moments like these change us. Watching a grandmother buy vegetables in a Moroccan market, or listening to a taxi driver in Hanoi talk about his daughter’s college dreams — these moments turn strangers into real people. The “foreigner” stops being an idea and becomes a neighbor. As one traveler once said, “the more we travel authentically, the more we see our shared human experiences.” ____19____ If you stay inside a resort and never talk to locals, you might actually keep your old prejudices. Travel does not always make things better right away. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable at first. But each honest conversation — sharing a meal, laughing at a language mistake, watching daily life happen — breaks down the prejudices. When I left that dinner table in Istanbul, we still couldn’t fully understand each other’s language. ____20____ I had learned something important: what unites us is much bigger than what separates us. The world feels less foreign when we finally sit at its tables. A. It never came. B. But that didn’t matter. C. Of course, not every trip will open your mind. D. In one week, my old prejudices disappeared. E. These moments revealed why traveling light mattered. F. We were both confused and both trying to help each other. G. I admit overcoming language barriers is key to cultural exchange. ★ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was a Northern newcomer to a Southern adult community.

Our teacher asked us to make an art project showing how plants eat, “I can’t believe we only have two nights to finish it,” Noah said with a sigh. “I have no idea how I’ll get my project done.” I didn’t say anything. Not because I was nervous—I wasn’t nervous at all. 1 love art projects! In fact, I was so relaxed that I didn’t work on the project at all on Monday night. I planned to start the moment I got home from baseball practice on Tuesday. But there was just one thing. I forgot baseball would last longer than usual because it was the day of Baseball Buddies, which happens every month, and it’s a chance for us older students to practise baseball with the adorable younger kids. The minute I got home, I threw the entire craft box (手工盒) onto the kitchen table, took out my “How Plants Eat” paper, and started to work. But just then, the telephone rang. It was my friend Ollie, who said his grandmother Abuela had just made cookies and wanted to know if I’d come help decorate them. I love decorating cookies, and I love, love, love Abucla’s world-famous Thanksgiving cookies that only happen once a year! Feeling there was still time, I went anyway. Ollie and I put all the star cookies with red jam filling in one group, and all the snowflakes with white cream-cheese filling in another. It was 7 o’clock when I finally got home. I planned to work on my project right after we ate. But then another interruption hit me. 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。 Paragraph 1: Just as I was about to start, Dad said, “Joanna, it’s your turn to do the dishes.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The big “F” on my paper urged me to reflect and improve. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
