第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Climate change could have large impacts on food production across the world. Rising Temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures.
Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways:
A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat.
These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don’t only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future.
21. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour
A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. WHEN. D. HOW.
22. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties
A. Corn. B. Rice. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat.
23. What should be done in the future
A. To help the farmers in need.
B. To adopt the three methods.
C. To focus on crop production.
D. To move to colder regions.
B
Each morning, the soft sound of slicing fills the air at a processing workshop in Zhangshu, Jiangxi province. Yuan Xiaoping, 69, stands by his workbench, skillfully slicing white peony root into pieces. The technique may seem effortless, but it is the result of more than 50 years of disciplined practice.
Yuan is a nationally recognized inheritor (继承人) of the Zhangshu traditional Chinese medicine processing technique, a form of craftsmanship named as national intangible cultural heritage in 2018. For over 1,800 years, Zhangshu, China’s medicine capital, has perfected the art of traditional herb processing, transforming raw plants into precise medicine. This craft relies on four signature tools: sharp knives for paper-thin slicing, copper pots for controlled heating, mineral-rich local water, and secret methods passed from master to apprentice.
Born into a family with a tradition in Chinese medicine, Yuan began working as an apprentice at the old Tiangitang pharmacy at the age of 16. He later studied under master craftsman Yu Shouxiang, who was renowned for his expertise in medicinal (药用的) cutting. Yuan devoted decades to mastering core skills of the craft, including some specialized methods. For him, the heart of the craft lies in two skills: cutting and processing.
“Every step demands precision, but it’s the knife work that truly stands out: each slice cut to perfect thickness, almost like art. “Yuan said. “Processing is not just about preparing herbs. It demands reverence for the natural properties of medicinal herbs and the application of precise methods to unlock their medical value.”
Despite modern production technologies, Yuan believes many essential steps remain dependent on experience. “Machines can cut, but they can’t read the color, smell or texture of herbs,” Yuan said. “Some techniques are simple in appearance, but they require years of repetition to do well.”
24. What can be learned about the technique
A. It features simplicity
B. It is dismissed as impractical.
C. It remains unchanged.
D. It requires effort and accuracy.
25. What does the underlined word “reverence” (Para. 4) mean
A. Awe. B. Love. C. Talent. D. Blame.
26. Which of the following can best describe Yuan
A. Disciplined and energetic.
B. Committed and highly-skilled.
C. Hardworking and friendly.
D. Forward-thinking and devoted.
27. What does Yuan’s story mainly show
A. Look before you leap. B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. Practice makes perfect. D. Strike while the iron is hot.
C
Children are born with the curiosity to explore. Yet over time they are becoming less curious about science. Why This loss of interest may be partly the result of language cues (提示) children hear. And these cues don’t come just from parents; they can also come from school teachers who treat science as an identity rather than actions.
When talking to children, many adults might say things like “Let’s be scientists today!” or “You’re such a good scientist!”. But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.”
One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.” This stereotypical (刻板印象的) belief that science is reserved for only certain-kinds of people emerges surprisingly early. By the first grade, when asked to draw a scientist, children tend to draw a white man.
The good news is that language cues can also be directed to promote engagement with science. Describing science as actions that we take for example, seems to protect young children’s interest in science over time. But it’s also true that teenagers are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So in contrast to its demoralizing effects on young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. In another study, cueing a future identity based on science (such as “scientist” or “doctor”) motivated middle schoolers to do more homework and was associated with higher grades.
Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science.
28. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Inappropriate. B. Impolite.
C. Unconvincing. D. Discouraging.
29. Why was action-focused language especially effective to young girls
A. Because it avoids identity conflict in girls’ mind.
B. Because stereotypical belief is reserved for girls.
C. Because it enhances girls’ engagement in science.
D. Because it shows the activity is designed for girls.
30. What may be the author’s suggestion for parents and teachers
A. To treat language as cues.
B. To use identity-focused language.
C. To adopt flexible strategies.
D. To help teenagers form identities.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why Is Action Better than Identity
B. How Do Parents Raise Young Scientists
C. How Does Age Affect Science Learning
D. What Affects Children’s Interest in Science
D
Give a group of scientists the same data and the same research question, and they should come up with similar answers in theory. But they don’t, according to a paper published in BMC Biology, which finds that 246 ecologists analyzing the same data sets reached widely varying conclusions, with some finding effects in totally opposite directions.
The paper is the latest in a line of “many-analyst” projects that examine how results can vary because of scientists’ decisions during data analysis — and the first to study the effects in ecology. To find out how much those decisions affect the results, Elliot Gould, a Ph.D. student at the University of Melbourne, and their colleagues recruited 246 ecologists, working in 174 teams, to answer two different research questions, each based on a single data set.
The findings match up with the results of previous many-analyst studies, and show “the powerful role of subjective researcher choices in scientific projects,” says Eric Uhlmann, an organizational psychologist. Gould says: Researchers have to decide which variables to control for, for example, and how to deal with missing data. “And those different choices that we make can kind of multiply.”
It’s impossible to know whether the problem affects an entire field from just one or two examples, says E tv s Loránd University metascientist Balazs Aczel. To find out, he is running a project to have multiple analysts each tackle a question from 100 randomly chosen social science papers. But similar findings have popped up in a range of fields — including neuroscience and economics — and suggest “we are facing a very serious issue,” he says.
Anne Scheel, a metascientist at Utrecht University, says the many-analyst findings don’t mean fields like ecology and psychology can’t ensure reliable results. Such fields tend to ask broad questions that leave a lot of choices up to researchers. “The harder sciences seem to have more success coming to agreement on difficult questions,” she says. “I think that has something to do with how precisely things are defined.”
32. What did the BMC Biology paper focus on
A. The collection of data in ecology.
B. The cause of contradictory results.
C. The effect of choices on conclusions.
D. The comparison of different methods.
33. What contributes to the varying conclusions according to paragraph 3
A. Research preference. B. Uniform data.
C. Team division. D. Training gaps.
34. What has led Balazs Aczel to say “we are facing a very serious issue”
A. The uncertainty of ecological studies.
B. The challenge in choosing questions.
C. The restriction in research approaches.
D. The evidence from multiple disciplines.
35. What is Anne Scheel’s suggestion on ensuring reliable results
A. Broadening scale. B. Deepening research.
C. Increasing difficulty. D. Improving precision

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。
Are you as good at things as you think you are How good are you at managing money Are you better than average at grammar Psychological research suggests that we’re not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately. 36____ This phenomenon is called the Dunning-Kruger effect.
37 ___On average, people tend to rate themselves better than most in health, leadership skills, and beyond. What’s particularly interesting is that those with the least ability often overrate their skills to the greatest extent.
When psychologists Dunning and Kruger first described the effect in 1999, they argued that people lacking knowledge and skill in particular areas suffer a double curse (祸根). They make mistakes and reach poor decisions. 38____ In other words, poor performers lack the knowledge needed to recognize how badly they’re doing.
The effect shows people usually do admit their weaknesses once they can spot them. This may be why people with average knowledge or skill often have less confidence in their abilities. 39____
Meanwhile, experts tend to be aware of just how knowledgeable they are. But they often make a different mistake: they assume that everyone else is knowledgeable, too. 40_____ When they’re unskilled, they can’t see their own faults. When they’re extremely competent, they don’t perceive how unusual their abilities are.
So what can we do First, ask for feedback from others. Second, keep learning. The more knowledgeable we become, the less likely we are to have invisible holes in our competence.
A. Actually, we often overestimate our own abilities.
B. They all have incompetence they don’t recognize.
C. In short, people are often caught in inaccurate self-perception.
D. They know enough to know that there’s a lot they don’t know.
E. This effect explains why people display imaginary superiority.
F. Knowing how competent we are is more than a self-confidence boost.
G. But those knowledge gaps also prevent them from catching their errors.

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。
A Lunchbox Stitched with Love
Michael had watched it all unfold. For twelve long months, the silence between his father Jack and uncle Sam hung heavier than the winter fog clinging to their small town. It started with their late (已故的) father’s old workbench (工作台) — hand-carved by their grandfather, a piece they’d both cherished. When their dad passed away, Uncle Sam took it to restore, but his father Jack thought he’d taken it for himself forever. “You always got first pick,” Jack snapped; Sam shot back, “At least I’m not letting it rot.” Doors slammed, and they’d not spoken since.
Jack, once a man who laughed so loud that the neighbors knocked to complain, now moved like a ghost: mornings without the clatter (哐啷声) of his favorite coffee mug, evenings staring at the unlit fireplace in dead silence.
One afternoon, Michael found his dad on the porch (门廊), staring at a photo — Jack and Sam, arms slung over each other’s shoulders at the workbench, both grinning wide. “Why don’t you call him ” Michael asked. Jack’s jaw tightened. “Some things can’t be fixed, kiddo.” But Michael shook his head. He’d watched his mom mend his favorite sweater with a needle and thread, turning a hole into something stitched with care. Michael also noticed that Aunt Clara, Uncle Sam’s wife, still called Mom, asking gently how his dad was doing. Maybe broken things just needed the right hands to fix them.
That night, Michael slid a list of Uncle Sam’s favorite foods into his pocket — the ones Dad had always bought at the market on weekends, the two of them laughing over plates together. By morning, Michael had come up with a plan: something sweet might fix. With his allowance, he set out to fill his dad’s old lunchbox with what was on the list. Michael hit the market: Mrs. Hernandez’s warm meat pies; Mr. Patel’s spicy mango sauce and buttery cookies. Although his shirt was stained with jam, and his shoes were coated in dirt, Michael smiled, seeing the lunchbox was full.
(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。
When Michael finally stood on Uncle Sam’s porch, his heart pounded like a drum.

A few minutes after Aunt Clara’s phone call, the front doorbell rang again.
