I was eleven the first time I saw Jane. The three of us kids came home from school, and there she was, barely a year old, wrapped in our mother’s arms.
It wasn’t unusual to come home to strangers in the house. Our parents hosted an emergency safe house for children taken in by social services. The kids would stay with us anywhere from a week to a few months. Usually, we were a short-term stop before they returned to their biological parents or got adopted.
Jane stayed with us for two and a half years. No other child stayed that long or developed such a strong emotional bond with us.
When a childless couple adopted her, they promised we would stay in her life. They would treat us like extended relatives, inviting us over for holidays. We trusted them.
When she left, Jane screamed for days. She woke in the night, crying for my father. The adoptive parents called us and said this was too hard. And it got worse every time we visited.
A few months into the adoption, we ate a tense dinner together. Jane cried through the meal, then through the goodbyes. And why shouldn’t she Her family was walking out of the front door, getting into the car, and leaving without her.
After that, the parents stopped answering our calls. They turned cold and distant. Then, one day, they sent us an email, saying that Jane needed a clean break. No more visits. No reminders of her past life.
It couldn’t have been an easy decision. These parents were trying to protect her from the pain and confusion of the change. But years of attachment don’t just disappear, no matter how old you are.
Losing Jane forever changed the way I think about family. It’s led me to believe that kinship (亲属关系) isn’t just about claiming each other, or ‘belonging’ to each other. It’s a web of both visible and invisible care. It’s a tapestry (绣帷) made by people who lean in, love, and let go.
The old cliché (老话) says you don’t choose your family. When folks use it, they’re usually talking about biological kin. But when you’re a child, it’s true whether or not you’ re talking about blood relatives.
24. What was the special role of the author’s parents
A. They worked as full-time social workers. B. They provided long-term adoption services.
C. They offered a temporary home for children. D. They organized community volunteer events.
25. Why was the dinner described as “tense” in paragraph 6
A. Jane’s behavior made both sides uncomfortable. B. Jane’s bad mood destroyed her appetite for food.
C. The adoptive parents regretted having adopted Jane. D. The author’s family refused to take Jane back.
26. How did the adoptive parents behave eventually
A. They kept the promises they had initially made. B. They cut off contact and erased the girl’s past.
C. They frequently invited the author’s family over. D. They maintained a strong connection with her past.
27. What does the author conclude about family
A. It is easily replaced by new ties. B. It is strengthened by frequent visits.
C. It is defined by blood and legal ownership. D. It is a lasting bond even beyond separation.
C
Two-thirds of all irrigated(灌溉的) agriculture in the world is likely to be affected in some way by declining glaciers and dwindling snowfall in mountain regions, driven by the climate crisis, according to a UNESCO report.
More than 1 billion people live in mountainous regions and, of those in developing countries, up to half are already experiencing food insecurity. That is likely to worsen, as food production in such regions is dependent on mountain waters, melting snow and glaciers (冰川), according to the World Water Development Report 2025. Developed countries are also at risk: in the US, for example, the Colorado River basin has been in drought since 2000, and higher temperatures mean more water falls as rain instead of snow. Rain runs off much faster than melting snow, making dry conditions even worse.
The largest three-year loss of glacier mass on record occurred in the past three years, according to separate research from the World Meteorological Organization, with Norway and Sweden among the worst-affected areas. Eastern Africa has lost 80% of its glaciers in places. Glaciers in the Alps, the worst affected in Europe, have shrunk by about 40% over roughly the same period.
The decline of glaciers has had a further impact, added Abou Amani, director of water sciences at UNESCO. “Glaciers melting have an impact on the reflectivity of (solar) radiation and that will impact the whole climate system,” he warned. More avalanches(雪崩) will also occur, as rain falling on snow is a major factor behind avalanche formation. Pooling water from melting glaciers can also be released, causing sudden floods in valleys or to people living further down the side of the mountain.
These impacts are coming at a time when many food sources are already under pressure. Alvaro Lario, president of the International Fund for Agricultural Development and chair of UN-Water, called for more support for people who live in affected mountain regions. “Water flows downhill, but food insecurity rises uphill. Mountains provide 60% of our freshwater, but the communities that safeguard these vital resources are among the most food insecure,” he said.
28. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Increasing. B. Wasting. C. Decreasing. D. Changing.
29. What factors contributing to food insecurity are mentioned in the passage
A. Declining glaciers and more avalanches.
B. Dry conditions and rain falling on snow.
C. Climate impacts and lack of modern irrigation technology.
D. Dependence on glacier-fed water and stressed food sources.
30. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3
A. To predict future trends of glacier melting. B. To stress the severity of global glacier loss.
C. To call for policy in the worst-affected regions. D. To list the decline of glacier in different regions.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Melting Glaciers, Rising Hunger B. Climate Change, Water Shortage
C. Threats to Mountain Communities D. Flood Risks from Melting Glaciers
D
The human interest with watching others — whether through reality TV or overheard drama — is often dismissed as curiosity. But new research suggests this urge may be a social survival tool dating back millions of years.
To explore the origins of social curiosity, Laura Lewis, a psychologist at the University of California, and her colleagues studied how human children between four and six years old from San Francisco’s Bay Area and adult chimpanzees responded to certain videos showing members of their respective species. The results show that both groups preferred watching social interactions over scenes involving individuals — even giving away small rewards to see the former.
“These findings demonstrate that social information is important, rewarding and valuable for humans and other primate(灵长类)species,” Lewis says. “It suggests that social information was also important for our shared primate ancestors and that for millions of years it has been adaptive for primates to gain social information about those around them.”
Another recent study explored peer-watching behavior in long-tailed macaques(猕猴). Both female and male macaques showed more interest in aggressive(好斗的)interactions than in peaceful brushing, and both paid more attention to videos of familiar individuals. The study’s lead author, liesbeth Sterck, a primatologist at Utrecht University, says the latter behavior mirrors the way humans are drawn to the social lives of people they recognize — whether family, friends or movie stars. Interest in aggressive interactions, which are likely to reveal shifts in dominance or signal potential threats, supports findings that humans are especially aware of watching conflict in media. “Keeping track of the power balance in your own group likely has prime value for primates, including humans,” Sterck says.
Gillian Forrester, who studies comparative cognition(认知)at the University of Sussex, says social attention is key to maintaining a good reputation. In ancient humans and other primates, reputational damage can bar access to food and mates, cause physical conflict and, in extreme cases, lead to potentially deadly rejection. With so much at risk, primates developed to keep a close eye on group members. “Modern humans maintain this sharp attention to other people’s social interactions as an evolutionary adaptation,” Forrester says — so people watching might just pay off.
32. What did Laura Lewis and her team find in their study
A. Children learned to become more social by watching others.
B. Chimpanzees showed more interest in watching individuals.
C. Children and Chimpanzees needed rewards to watch videos.
D. Children and Chimpanzees preferred watching social scenes.
33. Why are macaques and humans interested in aggressive interactions
A. To chase the latest social trends. B. To discover changes and threats.
C. To explore the social lives of friends. D. To demonstrate their power over others.
34. What does Gillian Forrester find about reputational damage
A. It affects human’s ability to find food. B. It is mainly caused by physical fights.
C. It can lead to serious results like being excluded. D. It can be avoided as primates value group harmony.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Reality TV satisfies human curiosity. B. Social curiosity is developed in childhood.
C. Primates share similar behaviors with humans. D. People-watching has deep evolutionary origins.

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。
The only bad thing about a good creative day is that it ends, with no guarantee of repeating that productivity tomorrow. ___36___ These methods not only prevent creative gaps but also help build a continuous rhythm, making inspiration less dependent on luck.
Ernest Hemingway had the smart trick of always calling it a day at a point when he knew what came next.
___37___ What a creative organizational tool! Knowing what comes next is like crocheting (钩针编织): The end of one day knits into the next, and you wind up with a garment (毛衣) that is flexible but strong.
___38___ Think about experienced stand-up comedians: they never perform until they’re totally tired. Instead, they end their shows when the audience is still begging for more. Apply this to your creative work: stop while you still have a little energy left. That unused fuel will become your perfect starting point tomorrow.
Try this simple exercise for a week: every day, end your working day when you still have something in reserve. ___39___ Is it a few half-formed ideas you haven’t explored yet Or a thought you wanted to share with someone but didn’t Write down exactly what it is on a small card, put the card away, and don’t think about it for the rest of the day. Start the next day by looking at your note.
Harry Truman had a wise habit: whenever he wrote a letter in anger, he’d put the letter away in a desk drawer for twenty-four hours before rereading it. ___40___ It’s the same with your note. When you look at it the next day, you’ll not only pick up yesterday’s reserve but also see room for improvement with a fresh mind.
A. He built himself a bridge to the next day.
B. Don’t push yourself to the point of total exhaustion.
C. This pause lets him check if his initial anger still holds.
D. Writing down ideas immediately helps avoid forgetting them.
E. The key is knowing what exactly you’re saving for tomorrow.
F. Fortunately, there are practical ways to keep creativity flowing.
G. Many creative people struggle with keeping consistent inspiration.

The school’s academic performance improved, and after a few years it ___47___ Colorado’s highest performance rating. A student named Henry explained the ___48___ of the phone ban. He said that for the first half hour of the school day his phone is still in the back of his ___49___, “but once class starts, it’s kind of out the window and I’m not really thinking about it.” In other words, the phone ban improves concentration and ___50___ social comparison.
Research shows that phones significantly ___51___ learning, leading to lower grades and more interruptions in class. These ___52___ easily draw students’ attention away from their work. They also make educational unfairness worse, with poorer students being more ___53___ influenced.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I always had a tough time in school. My father had put it best: “Some kids are good in school, and some aren’t. You’re just one of the kids who isn’t.” But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
Ever since the first day of school, it had been drilled into my brain that I must strive for academic success. Our principal talked to us many times about striving for greatness. Pictures of past scholars and professors decorated at least one wall in almost every classroom.
When I was a small child, I was tested, and they found that I had several learning disabilities. I had to review constantly to keep the information in my brain, and I was always two to three years behind my grade level in math.
In high school, without special education, I had to find new ways to help myself do better in school. One night, I was working with my tutor. I just wasn’t getting it, and it had been going on like that for a few weeks. My tutor had finally had it, and started yelling at me in front of the entire crowd of kids (each with their own private tutor). “How dumb can you be We’ve been reviewing the same four math steps for three weeks now. If you don’t start shaping up soon, you’ll end up being a failure.”
That was the first time someone had said “you’re a failure” right to my face. Until then, my failure had been my private despair. I stormed out of the room and hid in a dark corner right outside the school. I stayed there for a half hour, crying and asking myself if the pain and disappointment would ever end.
I left that school shortly afterwards, hoping to find a place where I could get away from the pain and find the greatness buried deep within me. And I did.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My new school lets me see myself in a better light and recognize my growth.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
People greet me cheerfully each morning because they see my character.

原文】M: I can’t believe it. I left my boots on the school bus. My dad will go mad if he has to go collect them from the bus station again.
W: Those new boots you bought last month
M: Yeah, I was so worn out that I completely forgot.
W: It happened to me once. I was thinking about all the math homework I had to do. Well, you’d better hurry back to the bus before it leaves school. It usually leaves around 3 pm and it’s about a 20-minute walk to the bus parking spot.
M: It’s such a pain, I have to walk all the way there, and I’m already wiped out. Plus, we didn’t even win the match. I hope they’re still on my seat.
W: You’ve got about half an hour before the bus leaves, so at least you don’t need to run, but seriously you really need to be more careful. You can’t keep losing your kit like this.
M: I know it’s such a waste of time.

I was eleven the first time I saw Jane. The three of us kids came home from school, and there she was, barely a year old, wrapped in our mother’s arms.
It wasn’t unusual to come home to strangers in the house. Our parents hosted an emergency safe house for children taken in by social services. The kids would stay with us anywhere from a week to a few months. Usually, we were a short-term stop before they returned to their biological parents or got adopted.
Jane stayed with us for two and a half years. No other child stayed that long or developed such a strong emotional bond with us.
When a childless couple adopted her, they promised we would stay in her life. They would treat us like extended relatives, inviting us over for holidays. We trusted them.
When she left, Jane screamed for days. She woke in the night, crying for my father. The adoptive parents called us and said this was too hard. And it got worse every time we visited.
A few months into the adoption, we ate a tense dinner together. Jane cried through the meal, then through the goodbyes. And why shouldn’t she Her family was walking out of the front door, getting into the car, and leaving without her.
After that, the parents stopped answering our calls. They turned cold and distant. Then, one day, they sent us an email, saying that Jane needed a clean break. No more visits. No reminders of her past life.
It couldn’t have been an easy decision. These parents were trying to protect her from the pain and confusion of the change. But years of attachment don’t just disappear, no matter how old you are.
Losing Jane forever changed the way I think about family. It’s led me to believe that kinship (亲属关系) isn’t just about claiming each other, or ‘belonging’ to each other. It’s a web of both visible and invisible care. It’s a tapestry (绣帷) made by people who lean in, love, and let go.
The old cliché (老话) says you don’t choose your family. When folks use it, they’re usually talking about biological kin. But when you’re a child, it’s true whether or not you’ re talking about blood relatives.
24. What was the special role of the author’s parents
A. They worked as full-time social workers. B. They provided long-term adoption services.
C. They offered a temporary home for children. D. They organized community volunteer events.
25. Why was the dinner described as “tense” in paragraph 6
A. Jane’s behavior made both sides uncomfortable. B. Jane’s bad mood destroyed her appetite for food.
C. The adoptive parents regretted having adopted Jane. D. The author’s family refused to take Jane back.
26. How did the adoptive parents behave eventually
A. They kept the promises they had initially made. B. They cut off contact and erased the girl’s past.
C. They frequently invited the author’s family over. D. They maintained a strong connection with her past.
27. What does the author conclude about family
A. It is easily replaced by new ties. B. It is strengthened by frequent visits.
C. It is defined by blood and legal ownership. D. It is a lasting bond even beyond separation.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
C
Two-thirds of all irrigated(灌溉的) agriculture in the world is likely to be affected in some way by declining glaciers and dwindling snowfall in mountain regions, driven by the climate crisis, according to a UNESCO report.
More than 1 billion people live in mountainous regions and, of those in developing countries, up to half are already experiencing food insecurity. That is likely to worsen, as food production in such regions is dependent on mountain waters, melting snow and glaciers (冰川), according to the World Water Development Report 2025. Developed countries are also at risk: in the US, for example, the Colorado River basin has been in drought since 2000, and higher temperatures mean more water falls as rain instead of snow. Rain runs off much faster than melting snow, making dry conditions even worse.
The largest three-year loss of glacier mass on record occurred in the past three years, according to separate research from the World Meteorological Organization, with Norway and Sweden among the worst-affected areas. Eastern Africa has lost 80% of its glaciers in places. Glaciers in the Alps, the worst affected in Europe, have shrunk by about 40% over roughly the same period.
The decline of glaciers has had a further impact, added Abou Amani, director of water sciences at UNESCO. “Glaciers melting have an impact on the reflectivity of (solar) radiation and that will impact the whole climate system,” he warned. More avalanches(雪崩) will also occur, as rain falling on snow is a major factor behind avalanche formation. Pooling water from melting glaciers can also be released, causing sudden floods in valleys or to people living further down the side of the mountain.
These impacts are coming at a time when many food sources are already under pressure. Alvaro Lario, president of the International Fund for Agricultural Development and chair of UN-Water, called for more support for people who live in affected mountain regions. “Water flows downhill, but food insecurity rises uphill. Mountains provide 60% of our freshwater, but the communities that safeguard these vital resources are among the most food insecure,” he said.
28. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Increasing. B. Wasting. C. Decreasing. D. Changing.
29. What factors contributing to food insecurity are mentioned in the passage
A. Declining glaciers and more avalanches.
B. Dry conditions and rain falling on snow.
C. Climate impacts and lack of modern irrigation technology.
D. Dependence on glacier-fed water and stressed food sources.
30. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3
A. To predict future trends of glacier melting. B. To stress the severity of global glacier loss.
C. To call for policy in the worst-affected regions. D. To list the decline of glacier in different regions.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Melting Glaciers, Rising Hunger B. Climate Change, Water Shortage
C. Threats to Mountain Communities D. Flood Risks from Melting Glaciers
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
D
The human interest with watching others — whether through reality TV or overheard drama — is often dismissed as curiosity. But new research suggests this urge may be a social survival tool dating back millions of years.
To explore the origins of social curiosity, Laura Lewis, a psychologist at the University of California, and her colleagues studied how human children between four and six years old from San Francisco’s Bay Area and adult chimpanzees responded to certain videos showing members of their respective species. The results show that both groups preferred watching social interactions over scenes involving individuals — even giving away small rewards to see the former.
“These findings demonstrate that social information is important, rewarding and valuable for humans and other primate(灵长类)species,” Lewis says. “It suggests that social information was also important for our shared primate ancestors and that for millions of years it has been adaptive for primates to gain social information about those around them.”
Another recent study explored peer-watching behavior in long-tailed macaques(猕猴). Both female and male macaques showed more interest in aggressive(好斗的)interactions than in peaceful brushing, and both paid more attention to videos of familiar individuals. The study’s lead author, liesbeth Sterck, a primatologist at Utrecht University, says the latter behavior mirrors the way humans are drawn to the social lives of people they recognize — whether family, friends or movie stars. Interest in aggressive interactions, which are likely to reveal shifts in dominance or signal potential threats, supports findings that humans are especially aware of watching conflict in media. “Keeping track of the power balance in your own group likely has prime value for primates, including humans,” Sterck says.
Gillian Forrester, who studies comparative cognition(认知)at the University of Sussex, says social attention is key to maintaining a good reputation. In ancient humans and other primates, reputational damage can bar access to food and mates, cause physical conflict and, in extreme cases, lead to potentially deadly rejection. With so much at risk, primates developed to keep a close eye on group members. “Modern humans maintain this sharp attention to other people’s social interactions as an evolutionary adaptation,” Forrester says — so people watching might just pay off.
32. What did Laura Lewis and her team find in their study
A. Children learned to become more social by watching others.
B. Chimpanzees showed more interest in watching individuals.
C. Children and Chimpanzees needed rewards to watch videos.
D. Children and Chimpanzees preferred watching social scenes.
33. Why are macaques and humans interested in aggressive interactions
A. To chase the latest social trends. B. To discover changes and threats.
C. To explore the social lives of friends. D. To demonstrate their power over others.
34. What does Gillian Forrester find about reputational damage
A. It affects human’s ability to find food. B. It is mainly caused by physical fights.
C. It can lead to serious results like being excluded. D. It can be avoided as primates value group harmony.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Reality TV satisfies human curiosity. B. Social curiosity is developed in childhood.
C. Primates share similar behaviors with humans. D. People-watching has deep evolutionary origins.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D

Try this simple exercise for a week: every day, end your working day when you still have something in reserve. ___39___ Is it a few half-formed ideas you haven’t explored yet Or a thought you wanted to share with someone but didn’t Write down exactly what it is on a small card, put the card away, and don’t think about it for the rest of the day. Start the next day by looking at your note.
Harry Truman had a wise habit: whenever he wrote a letter in anger, he’d put the letter away in a desk drawer for twenty-four hours before rereading it. ___40___ It’s the same with your note.

I always had a tough time in school. My father had put it best: “Some kids are good in school, and some aren’t. You’re just one of the kids who isn’t.” But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
Ever since the first day of school, it had been drilled into my brain that I must strive for academic success. Our principal talked to us many times about striving for greatness. Pictures of past scholars and professors decorated at least one wall in almost every classroom.
When I was a small child, I was tested, and they found that I had several learning disabilities. I had to review constantly to keep the information in my brain, and I was always two to three years behind my grade level in math.
In high school, without special education, I had to find new ways to help myself do better in school. One night, I was working with my tutor. I just wasn’t getting it, and it had been going on like that for a few weeks. My tutor had finally had it, and started yelling at me in front of the entire crowd of kids (each with their own private tutor). “How dumb can you be We’ve been reviewing the same four math steps for three weeks now. If you don’t start shaping up soon, you’ll end up being a failure.”
That was the first time someone had said “you’re a failure” right to my face. Until then, my failure had been my private despair. I stormed out of the room and hid in a dark corner right outside the school. I stayed there for a half hour, crying and asking myself if the pain and disappointment would ever end.
I left that school shortly afterwards, hoping to find a place where I could get away from the pain and find the greatness buried deep within me. And I did.

【答案】例文
My new school lets me see myself in a better light and recognize my growth. The academics aren’t as intense as my previous school and I’ve opened up to others, no longer scared of what they’ll think of me. I have built new bonds — not based on academic skill but on true friendship. I can look in the mirror and see, not what I should be, but what I am. I realized that I had been looking at it all the wrong way — evaluating myself on my abilities, not on my potential to grow into a wonderful person. I had been so wrapped up in the academic side of things that I forgot to look at the person underneath.
People greet me cheerfully each morning because they see my character. When I finally shifted my focus from what I lacked to who I am — someone who tries his hardest and cares deeply — everything changed. This inner shift was like a signal; by recognizing my own worth, I began to carry myself with a quiet confidence that others could sense. They see a person who knows his own value, not because of achievements, but because of his character and effort. In learning to value myself, I taught others how to see me. This year has not just changed my environment; it has rebuilt my very foundation, breathing new life into me.
