“She was doomed (注定的) — no ship built by human hands could have withstood the pressure.”
When polar explorer Ernest Shackleton wrote this journal entry on October 27, 1915, his dreams of reaching Antarctica had been famously crushed — along with his ship, HMS Endurance.
Shackleton blamed the sinking of the Endurance on the destruction of its rudder (舵) and for more than a century historians accepted this explanation. Now, an analysis suggests that structural weakness caused the Endurance to sink, and that Shackleton knew about his ship’s failings, but still, that wasn’t enough to stop him from buying it, according to Dr. Jukka Tuhkuri, a professor at Aalto University in Finland.
“I think that Endurance was the best possible ship he could get when he needed it and at a price he could afford,” Tuhkuri said.
A ship that became caught between pack ice, a type of free-floating ice — was at the mercy of the ice. If the crew was fortunate, winds or currents would eventually shift, the ice would loosen its control and the ship would break free. But if the crew were unlucky, the ice would squeeze their ship until it broke.
Tuhkuri was part of the 2022 research that located the Endurance shipwreck. At the time, he was surprised to learn that no one had used structural engineering to evaluate why the Endurance sank. The Endurance, which Tuhkuri learned from historic records, was built for Arctic visits during the summer, not for navigating Antarctic pack ice. Shackleton’s correspondence with colleagues suggests he knew how important diagonal beams (对角梁) were for resisting compressive ice, Tuhkuri found. And from aboard the Endurance, Shackleton wrote to his wife, Emily, admitting that Endurance was “not as strong” as his previous ship, the Nimrod, and adding “I would exchange her for the old Nimrod any day now.”
It’s difficult to say for sure why Shackleton set aside his own doubt and prior knowledge to take such a huge risk, Tuhkuri said. But in those days, risk-taking was part and parcel of polar exploration.
4. What was the traditional explanation for Endurance’s sinking
A. The captain’s wrong decisions. B. Structural weakness of the ship.
C. Destruction of the ship’s rudder. D. Poor quality of building materials.
5. Why did Shackleton buy Endurance with a fault
A. It was recommended by his friends. B. He planned to rebuild it completely.
C He didn’t believe the ship would encounter ice. D. It was the best ship he could afford at that time.
6. What can we infer about Shackleton’s polar exploration from paragraph 6
A. Endurance was particularly built for the polar exploration.
B. Shackleton sailed Endurance on the expedition despite its fault.
C. Shackleton’s wife was firmly opposed to his polar expedition.
D. Endurance’s diagonal beams did meet the requirement of expedition.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Risk-taking Spirit in Polar Exploration
B. The Reasons for the Sinking of the Endurance
C. The Analysis of the Endurance’s Structural Weakness
D. The Story of Shackleton’s Failed Antarctic Expedition
C
Historically, schools operated differently. In the early 19th century, urban schools were open year-round, while rural schools had two terms, winter and summer. By the late 19th century, a unified calendar began to appear, influenced by several factors.
Contrary to the agriculture myth, summer breaks were not initially designed for children to help on farms. The busiest times were spring planting and fall harvesting. The shift began in the late 1800s when rich families left cities for cooler climates, reducing attendance and influencing school decisions. Additionally, educational reformers viewed summer terms as academically weaker and pushed for teacher training programs during these months. Medical concepts from the 18th and 19th centuries, suggesting overuse of the mind could lead to physical and mental weakness, also persisted despite scientific advancements.
Today, summer breaks persist due to several barriers. Many schools require repairs and lack air conditioning. Teachers also value the traditional schedule, and changing it could exacerbate recruitment and retention (招聘和留用) issues. Moreover, entire industries, such as summer camps and teen employment, rely on these breaks, making change difficult.
However, some schools have adopted balanced calendars by shortening summer breaks and redistributing days off throughout the year. Most balanced schools start in early August, then take some time off mid-fall, at Thanksgiving, around Christmas and New Year, in the middle of the winter, in the middle of spring and around Memorial Day weekend. The summer break of a traditional school is shortened, with the days redistributed to give time off at other times. This model keeps 180 school days but uses them more efficiently. Around 4,000 U.S. schools, representing about 10% of students, follow this approach, leading to increased student achievement and reduced summer learning loss.
Balanced calendars also benefit staff by providing more frequent breaks, helping with retention. These breaks allow for targeted interventions and enrichment activities, catering to diverse student needs.
It is suggested that school schedules should be individualized, preparing students for future professions that do not offer such extended time off. Despite resistance, the balanced calendar model offers a promising alternative to the traditional summer break, addressing both educational and practical challenges.
8. Why did summer breaks start originally
A. Wealthy families began to live in cities. B. Children had to help their parents on farms.
C. Qualified teachers were recruited in summer. D. Medical beliefs implied the harm of overstudying.
9. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Solve. B. Worsen. C. Improve. D. Ignore.
10. What can we infer about balanced calendars
A. They are followed by most U.S. schools. B. They reduce the total number of school days.
C. They improve students’ academic performance. D. They only provide breaks around the holidays.
11. Which could the author agree with regarding school calendars
A. More research is needed before any changes can be made.
B. Balanced calendar model should replace the traditional one.
C. The traditional summer break should be shortened or canceled
D. School schedules should be tailored to meet different students’ needs.
D
Have you ever been asked a simple question, only to find your mind completely empty This common experience, known as “mind blanking”, occurs more frequently than we realize research suggests our minds go blank 5% — 20% of the time. Cognitive neuroscientist Athena Demertzi defines it as the sudden inability to recall or report any thoughts, though scientists still debate its exact nature.
Studying this phenomenon presents unique challenges. When researchers use functional MRI (fMRI) to scan brains, they often instruct participants to “think of nothing”. Surprisingly, this command actually activates parts of the brain rather than showing true mental stillness. These activated areas reflect the brain’s effort to suppress (压制) thoughts rather than genuine emptiness.
Demertzi’s 2023 study took a different approach. By scanning resting brains and periodically asking subjects to report their thoughts, her team identified a distinct neural pattern before mind blanking — a brief synchronization (同步) where multiple brain networks meantime inactivated. This pattern is similar to what occurs during sleep or anesthesia (麻醉), suggesting mind blanks might be micro-versions of the brain’s “shutdown” processes.
The likelihood of mind blanking appears closely tied to arousal levels — the brain’s degree of inspiration. When arousal is too low, thoughts become broken and hard to maintain. Contrarily, excessive arousal (as in anxiety) can overpower the brain, creating another form of blanking where racing thoughts blur (模糊) into incomprehensibility. Notably, conditions like ADHD (多动症) show lifted rates of mind blanking, with unmedicated children reporting it more frequently than their peers.
Why does this happen Demertzi proposes an interesting theory linking mind blanks to the brain’s maintenance cycles. During sleep, the body clears neural waste — some scientists suppose similar brief “clean-up” periods might occur while awake, appearing as mental blanks. Though debatable, this could explain how our brains keep peak performance: these momentary pauses may be necessary resets during our waking hours.
Ultimately, mind blanking remains partially mysterious, but current research suggests it’s not just mental failure — it might be the brain’s clever way of managing its complex operations. As Demertzi puts it: “How can you keep continuous wakefulness if your brain doesn’t occasionally take a break ”
12. What could happen when people try to “think of nothing” in fMRI scans
A. Some fall into sleep quickly. B. Their brains stop functioning.
C. Certain brain areas are active. D. Their minds are actual empty.
13. What did Demertzi’s 2023 study discover about “mind blanking”
A. It is a short pause of the brain. B. It shows a common brain pattern.
C. It happens during deep sleep. D. It only occurs to mental patients.
14. What might be the purpose of mind blanking according to Demertzi
A. To prepare for sleep. B. To clean brain waste.
C. To improve memory. D. To cause anxiety.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Mind blanking is a serious mental problem.
B. Scientists have found the cure for mind blanking.
C. Mind blanking may be the brain’s self-protection.
D. People should avoid experiencing mind blanking.

How to Travel Solo with a Group
I’ve never loved group travel. ____16____ I enjoy the freedom of being able to come and go as I please and not having to change plans to visit a restaurant I may dislike, take an Uber when I prefer taking public transportation, or shop at a store that doesn’t carry my size.

第二节 （满分25分）
47. 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。
Mom and I faced off (对抗) in the hallway. “You’d better go to bed now,” she said firmly. “I’ll talk to your dad when he gets home. He’ll deal with you.
I rushed to my bedroom, slammed the curtains shut, and flopped onto my bed. The clock glowed 10:15, signaling that Dad would soon be home from his second shift. I knew I was in for it, and I deserved every bit of it.
My day at junior high had been terrible. My best friend, Mary Ellen, had got rid of me for the popular Regina, leaving me alone at the lunch table in the library. Then, in P. E., square dancing brought me embarrassment. Nervous about holding hands with a boy, I was rejected by one who called me “fish” for the rest of the day due to my cold, wet hands.
Feeling hurt and angry, I took it all out on Mom when I got home. I complained about the peanut butter cookies she’d baked, wishing for chocolate chip instead. Later, I laughed at the chicken she’d prepared for dinner, longing for hamburgers. My misplaced anger increased until Mom lost her patience, and we ended up in a shouting match.
As I lay in bed, listening to the garage door open and the muffled voices of my parents, I felt regretful. I replayed the day’s events and realized how unfair I had been to Mom. I knew that if I had shared my troubles with her, she would have listened, comforted me, and made me laugh.
The sounds of the night expanded my guilt-the creak of the door, Dad’s boots on the floor, and then silence. I wondered what my consequence would be. After some time, I heard Dad’s quiet footsteps and the sound of a shower. Curious, I waited, my heart heavy with regret.
注意：
1. 续写词数应150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Eventually, my bedroom door was opened.
