From a young age, Alex was fascinated by the symphony of sounds around him. The gentle sound of wind, the quiet whisper of rain, and the soft flowing of a stream. This early fascination drove him to choose acoustics (声学) as his major in university, where he studied in-depth into the science of sound.
During his outdoor work, Alex was faced with the severe reality of noise pollution from cars and urban construction. Traditional noise-reduction methods, like thick insulation (隔离) and simple barriers, seemed ineffective against this difficult and ever-present problem. Driven by a desire for change, Alex was determined to develop a creative solution.
In his lab, Alex did lots of experiments. He carefully examined the loudness and types of different urban noises. With the help of good equipment, he tested many sound patterns. After many attempts, he discovered a way to break up the noisy sounds.
Alex then designed a network of smart speakers. These devices were equipped with highly sensitive microphones that could detect the slightest noise variations. The speakers were programmed to produce counter-sound waves. When these counter-sound waves met the original noise waves, they co-related in a way that canceled out the noise.
The carrying out of Alex’s system faced several challenges, such as tech issues and setting-up problems, but Alex and his team persevered. Their efforts paid off when they set up the system on a particularly busy downtown street. The transformation was remarkable — the once-deafening noise was reduced by 70%. Encouraged by this success, the system was soon rolled out across other noisy areas of the city. Alex named his creation “Acoustic Harmony”, a proof of his vision of a more peaceful urban environment.
4. What inspired Alex to study acoustics
A. His fascination in symphony. B. His love for the sounds of nature.
C. His passion for the science of sound. D. His worry about the noise pollution.
5. What problem did traditional noise-reduction methods have
A. They were too expensive to use.
B. They were difficult to set up outdoors.
C. They caused new environmental problems.
D. They couldn’t solve the problem effectively.
6. What does the underlined word “counter-sound” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Sounds that fight against noise. B. Sounds that copy noise.
C. Sounds that make noise louder. D. Sounds that record noise.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards Alex’s “Acoustic Harmony” invention
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested.
C. Admiring. D. Critical.
C
If your day starts with a harsh alarm sound, you might want to rethink your wake-up routine. New research from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing suggests that the way you’re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart.
Nursing doctoral student Yeonsu Kim studied 32 participants and found that being forced awake — like by a loud phone alarm — can lead to a significant morning blood pressure surge. This happens when your body is suddenly shifted from sleep to wakefulness. And it was found to be 74% higher in participants who were awakened by an alarm after five hours of sleep compared to those who woke up naturally. And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular (心血管的) risks, including stroke and heart attack.
The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic (交感神经) nervous system — the same system that sets off the “fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds.
The good news There are better, healthier ways to greet the day. Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods — and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin (褪黑激素) production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress.
There are also alarm apps that use soft music or nature sounds that gradually get louder, helping you wake without shocking your system. A 2020 study even found that melodic sounds — like a song you can sing along with — help reduce sleep inertia, a sleepy, heavy feeling that can last for hours after waking up.
Small changes can make a big difference in how your body starts the day, and your heart will thank you for it!
8. What physical symptoms can be caused by activating the sympathetic nervous system
A. Nervousness and tiredness. B. Slower heartbeat.
C. Improved sleep quality. D. Natural wakefulness.
9. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph
A. How melatonin affects our sleep quality.
B. The introduction and benefits of gradual light alarms.
C. The importance of getting enough sleep every night.
D. The dangers of using traditional alarm clocks.
10. What can be inferred from the research findings mentioned in the text
A. Gradual waking methods may lower the risk of heart related diseases.
B. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide.
C. Reducing melatonin production immediately improves cardiovascular health.
D. People who wake up naturally never experience morning blood pressure surges.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To persuade us to stop using alarms.
B. To criticize modern sleep habits.
C. To recommend gentler wake-up methods.
D. To compare different types of alarm sounds.
D
In late June, the US government allowed two companies to sell lab-grown chicken, which makes the US the second country to approve it. The two companies are called Upside Foods and Good Meat. They are the first companies in the US to be permitted (允许) to sell lab-grown chicken.
Lab-grown chicken isn’t created by raising and killing chickens. Experts first choose cells that can grow quickly and will have good flavor from live animals. The cells are grown inside large steel tanks, where they’re fed with everything they need to grow. In a few weeks, the cells grow into clumps (块) or sheets of meat. The companies then form this meat into more familiar shapes so that it can be cooked and sold.
The companies say that their chicken is better for the environment. Raising animals for food uses huge amounts of land and water. It also creates a lot of pollution. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. That’s why cutting back on eating meat is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change. Lab-grown chicken can also help in other ways, the companies suggest. For example, raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces, and are treated badly.
However, many people aren’t too interested in lab-grown chicken. Lots of people believe that “it just sounds odd.” Amy Chen, who works for Upside Foods, says that once people try it, “the most common response we get is, ‘Oh, it tastes like chicken.’”
Right now, the chicken is far more expensive than that from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more chicken far more cheaply.
For now, the lab-grown chicken will mainly be served in expensive restaurants, and it will probably be a long time before you can buy lab-grown chicken in stores.
12. What does the second paragraph focus on
A. Why lab-grown chicken is made.
B. How cell-based chicken is created.
C. Which cells will grow into chicken.
D. What lab-grown chicken looks like.
13. What is an advantage of lab-grown chicken over traditional farming
A. Reducing resource use.
B. Improving animals’ life.
C. Lowering meat demand.
D. Cutting production costs
14. What are the two companies more likely to do next
A. Start to sell lab-grown chicken in stores.
B. Stop serving some expensive restaurants.
C. Ask for the US government’s permission.
D. Try to reduce the cost of the lab-grown chicken.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The US Permits Lab-Grown Chicken
B. Lab-Grown Chicken Has More Advantages
C. Lab-Grown Chicken Was First Created in the US
D. Two Companies Are Buying Lab-Grown Chicken

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。
I spent almost three years in food service doing everything from washing dishes to working as a service director at a country club. Firstly, I waited tables, and it was actually one of my favorite jobs, mostly because of the people. One thing I learned is doing your job right and focusing on ensuring that your customers have the best dining experience.
During college, I worked at a place called O’Malleys. It’s not open anymore so I don’t have to worry about getting anybody in trouble, and besides, this isn’t that kind of story. Every Sunday, these two ladies and a little girl would come in, and nobody wanted to wait on them because they were super cheap and never tipped (给小费), so I volunteered, and they became my regulars. I quickly learned that it was a mom, her young daughter, and her mother. They always ordered the same thing. They’d each get water. The two women would split an entrée (主菜), and the young girl would get something off the child’s menu. And they’d leave no tip. I didn’t really care because Sunday lunch was always busy with the crowd, and their check was so small that even a 20% tip would have been just a few dollars. Besides, they were super nice, and I understood that this was their special time out. Going out just wasn’t something they could do. I did my best to treat them just like everybody else, which they appreciated.
This went on for over a year. Every Sunday, they would come in their pretty dresses, sit in my section, order the same thing they always did, and not leave me a tip… until one day, they did
That day, they came in and ordered iced tea and a soda for the girl, I knew something was up. The two ladies each got their own entree. The little girl got a full order of chicken strips. I’m not sure why I remember exactly what she ordered.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

If your day starts with a harsh alarm sound, you might want to rethink your wake-up routine. New research from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing suggests that the way you’re waking up could be putting unnecessary stress on your heart.
Nursing doctoral student Yeonsu Kim studied 32 participants and found that being forced awake — like by a loud phone alarm — can lead to a significant morning blood pressure surge. This happens when your body is suddenly shifted from sleep to wakefulness. And it was found to be 74% higher in participants who were awakened by an alarm after five hours of sleep compared to those who woke up naturally. And that’s no small concern — morning blood pressure surges have been linked to serious cardiovascular (心血管的) risks, including stroke and heart attack.
The increase in blood pressure activates your sympathetic (交感神经) nervous system — the same system that sets off the “fight or flight” response. That can lead to a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, exhaustion, and even physical symptoms like headaches and nosebleeds.
The good news There are better, healthier ways to greet the day. Instead of relying on harsh alarms, many people are turning to gentler methods — and research backs them up. One popular option is a gradual light alarm, also known as a sunrise alarm clock. These devices imitate the rising sun by slowly increasing in brightness over a set period of time. The gentle light helps signal your body to reduce melatonin (褪黑激素) production and transition into wakefulness more naturally, reducing dizziness and morning stress.
There are also alarm apps that use soft music or nature sounds that gradually get louder, helping you wake without shocking your system. A 2020 study even found that melodic sounds — like a song you can sing along with — help reduce sleep inertia, a sleepy, heavy feeling that can last for hours after waking up.
Small changes can make a big difference in how your body starts the day, and your heart will thank you for it!
8. What physical symptoms can be caused by activating the sympathetic nervous system

C. Improved sleep quality. D. Natural wakefulness.

C. The importance of getting enough sleep every night.
D. The dangers of using traditional alarm clocks.

A. Gradual waking methods may lower the risk of heart related diseases.
B. Loud alarms are the primary cause of strokes and heart attacks worldwide.
C. Reducing melatonin production immediately improves cardiovascular health.
D. People who wake up naturally never experience morning blood pressure surges.

【答案】
Dear Eric,
I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. I would choose “Music and me”.
Music is a universal language that connects people. Many students enjoy listening to or playing music, and sharing personal stories about music can make the newspaper more lively and personal. “British history and traditions” is also interesting, but it might feel a bit distant for some students. Music, however, is something we experience every day. It can inspire creativity and bring joy. I believe this topic will attract more readers and encourage them to share their own stories.
Looking forward to your decision!
Best wishes,
Li Hua

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。
I spent almost three years in food service doing everything from washing dishes to working as a service director at a country club. Firstly, I waited tables, and it was actually one of my favorite jobs, mostly because of the people. One thing I learned is doing your job right and focusing on ensuring that your customers have the best dining experience.
During college, I worked at a place called O’Malleys. It’s not open anymore so I don’t have to worry about getting anybody in trouble, and besides, this isn’t that kind of story. Every Sunday, these two ladies and a little girl would come in, and nobody wanted to wait on them because they were super cheap and never tipped (给小费), so I volunteered, and they became my regulars. I quickly learned that it was a mom, her young daughter, and her mother. They always ordered the same thing. They’d each get water. The two women would split an entrée (主菜), and the young girl would get something off the child’s menu. And they’d leave no tip. I didn’t really care because Sunday lunch was always busy with the crowd, and their check was so small that even a 20% tip would have been just a few dollars. Besides, they were super nice, and I understood that this was their special time out. Going out just wasn’t something they could do. I did my best to treat them just like everybody else, which they appreciated.
This went on for over a year. Every Sunday, they would come in their pretty dresses, sit in my section, order the same thing they always did, and not leave me a tip… until one day, they did
That day, they came in and ordered iced tea and a soda for the girl, I knew something was up. The two ladies each got their own entree. The little girl got a full order of chicken strips. I’m not sure why I remember exactly what she ordered.
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。
Of course, I asked what the celebration was.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
The mother said they were moving to New York the next week.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Of course, I asked what the celebration was. The mother’s eyes sparkled with pride as she said, “I’ve been promoted at work! After all the hard work, it finally paid off. We just had to come here and have a special meal to mark the occasion.” I couldn’t help but smile along with her. I made sure their dining experience was even more special than usual, suggesting some of the best-selling desserts.
The mother said they were moving to New York the next week. She then handed me a tip that was much larger than I ever expected. “You’ve always made us feel welcome here. This is for you,” she said. Holding the money, I felt a deep sense of warmth. It wasn't just about the money; it was about the recognition of my kindness. This experience taught me that kindness is always worth it, no matter how long it takes to be rewarded.
