【原文】W: Dear listeners, welcome to Life Tips. For today’s show we have Dr. Lee, an expert on relationships. Dr. Lee, many struggle with people-pleasing habits — what’s the first step to changing
M: Self-care is key. Be aware of what you need. For example, notice when you’re hungry, tired or feeling anxious about others’ expectations. After you can recognize these more basic needs, you can start working toward recognizing what you need and value on a bigger scale.
W: People-pleasers often mention they can’t say “no” about other’s request. It feels wrong.
M: It’s essential to grasp that refusing a request doesn’t mean you are bad. Avoid apologizing or making excuses. When faced with demands, take time to assess your abilities and what you prioritize. Before agreeing to any request, evaluate requests thoughtfully.
W: So, how do people-pleasers set boundaries
M: Begin by reflecting on your personal values and limits. With a clear understanding of these elements, you can communicate your boundaries to others.
W: Thanks, Dr. Lee. That’s really valuable for our listeners.
M: My pleasure.
听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。
18. What does the speaker say about first-aid boxes on the market
A. They are expensive.
B. They are valueless.
C. They are impractical.
19. When is a lightweight first-aid box especially important
A. Going traveling. B. No clinics nearby. C. Being ill at home.
20. What decides the amount of basic medicine in the first-aid box
A. The shape of the box. B. The size of the family. C. The taste of the family.
【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: While there are a number of first-aid boxes on the market, they often lack some things you need or have other things that you don’t need. Instead of buying such a first-aid box, you can save money and get everything you need in the box by creating your own. Select a small box or bag, which is light and can hold all of your first-aid materials. This is of particular importance if you need it while you are taking a trip away from home. Separate your first-aid box or bag into two sections. One section should include all of your basic medical supplies, such as bandages, while the second one should include medicine. Make sure that your box contains important basic medicine. There should be enough for your family, which means that the larger your family is, the more medicine you need in your first-aid box. When it comes to bandages and other lightweight items, the more, the better. Keep other necessary things in your first-aid box as well. For example, if someone in your family has high blood pressure, the first-aid box is a great place to keep blood pressure medicine, in case there is an emergency when you are far from medical help. You might also put emergency phone numbers, snake bite medicine or other items into your first-aid box.

In my old life, I wasn’t a “morning person”. Then I had children, whose needs demanded an early start. Now they’re older, but I can’t shake the early-rising routine. They’re the only part of the day reserved for just my own needs. I get genuine satisfaction from my early productivity. I’ve written more, exercised more consistently, and approached challenges clearly.
But every transformation comes with a price. And mine has been paid in evening hours — those crucial moments when families reconnect, when teenagers may open up, and when marriages deepen. I have become a person who gives the best of herself to the morning and offers only the worst to the night. My husband prefers to stay up late, so he handles the evening tasks. It’s an efficient arrangement, but it has created an unintended difference: I get our daughters’ sleepy mornings and he gets their sharing nighttime moments. The cost feels particularly high as my girls, now 12 and 16, have moved toward a later bedtime. Teenagers are active at night by biological design. My fading evening energy has influenced all my relationships.
I wonder if this is simply aging. But I suspect that in making the most of the early hours, I have changed not just my sleep schedule but my time with family. The energy I pour into morning workouts and emails has to come from somewhere. That somewhere is everywhere else.
I know I’ll never come alive at midnight, but I am learning to stretch the boundaries of my days. The balance isn’t about becoming less of a morning person, but about leaving space for connection even when it doesn’t match my body’s clock.
24. Why does the author keep rising early
A. To do morning chores. B. To satisfy personal needs.
C. To transform a bad habit. D. To match her husband’s schedule.
25. What influence does the family arrangement have
A. The father is worn out at night. B. The children are willing to share.
C. The family members grow closer. D. The author fails to bond with her kids.
26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The author’s reflection on the routine. B. The author’s complaint about aging.
C. The author’s concern about the marriage. D. The author’s praise for morning workouts.
27. What message does the text convey
A. Sticking to personal routine brings joy. B. Rising early promises a productive life.
C. Adjusting for family is deep wisdom. D. Refusing to change causes lifelong regret.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述自己原本不是早起的人，有孩子后养成早起习惯，早起能满足个人需求并带来成效，但这也导致晚上精力不足，影响与家人的相处。作者反思这一日常安排，意识到在平衡个人需求与家庭关系上，应做出调整，为与家人的交流留出空间。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Now they’re older, but I can’t shake the early-rising routine. They’re the only part of the day reserved for just my own needs. I get genuine satisfaction from my early productivity.(现在孩子们长大了，但我还是保持着早起的习惯。早起的时间是一天中唯一能满足我个人需求的时段。我从早起带来的高效中获得了真正的满足感)”可知，作者保持早起是为了满足个人需求。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I have become a person who gives the best of herself to the morning and offers only the worst to the night. My husband prefers to stay up late, so he handles the evening tasks. It’s an efficient arrangement, but it has created an unintended difference: I get our daughters’ sleepy mornings and he gets their sharing nighttime moments. My fading evening energy has influenced all my relationships.(我变成了一个把最好的自己给早晨，把最差的留给晚上的人。我丈夫喜欢熬夜，所以他负责晚上的事情。这是一种高效的安排，但却造成了意想不到的差异：我面对的是女儿们困倦的早晨，而他得到的是女儿们分享心事的夜晚时光。我晚上日益衰退的精力影响了我所有的人际关系)”可知，这种家庭安排导致作者无法与孩子们建立紧密的联系。故选D项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“I wonder if this is simply aging. But I suspect that in making the most of the early hours, I have changed not just my sleep schedule but my time with family. The energy I pour into morning workouts and emails has to come from somewhere. That somewhere is everywhere else.(我想知道这是否仅仅是因为年龄的原因。但我怀疑，在充分利用清晨时间的过程中，我不仅改变了自己的睡眠时间表，还改变了与家人相处的时间。我投入到晨练和回复邮件中的精力肯定来自某个地方。这个地方就是其他所有方面)”可知，该段主要是作者对自己早起这一日常安排的反思。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I know I’ll never come alive at midnight, but I am learning to stretch the boundaries of my days. The balance isn’t about becoming less of a morning person, but about leaving space for connection even when it doesn’t match my body’s clock.(我知道自己永远无法在午夜时分精神焕发，但我正在学着拓宽一天时间的边界。这种平衡并非要减少早起的习惯，而是即便在与生物钟相悖的情况下，也要留出与家人交流相处的时间)”以及文章内容可知，作者讲述自己原本不是早起的人，有孩子后养成早起习惯，早起能满足个人需求并带来成效，但这也导致晚上精力不足，影响与家人的相处。作者反思这一日常安排，意识到在平衡个人需求与家庭关系上，应做出调整，为与家人的交流留出空间，所以文章传达出的信息是为家庭做出调整是一种深刻的智慧。故选C项。

Some kids struggle with math. Now, scientists have pinpointed some of the specific thinking processes and brain regions that might explain the reason.
In the new study, researchers tested second-and third-grade kids with and without math learning disabilities by showing them two numbers from 1 to 9 and giving the kids a few seconds to pick which number they thought was larger. The researchers recorded how long it took kids to answer questions and observed kids’ brain activities using an MRI scanner. The team analyzed the data about the kids’ performance and behavior using a complex mathematical analysis designed to find patterns in behavior, like how carefully children answered throughout the experiment and how they changed their behavior after mistakes. They then compared those behavior patterns with brain activity.
“We weren’t interested in the performance of this numeral task but how they approached the task differently between the two groups,” says Hyesang Chang, a cognitive neuroscientist at San José State University in California.
From the MRI data, Chang and colleagues found that the lack of caution in kids with math learning disabilities when giving answers was associated with lower activity in the middle frontal gyrus, a brain region associated with processing numbers, focus, impulse control and adapting to changing circumstances. Meanwhile, not slowing down after errors was associated with lower activity in another brain region involved in detecting errors and monitoring performance.
Identifying these brain regions suggests that explaining differences in math skills is more complex than finding one part of the brain that handles math and numbers. “Instead, the study helps us know brain areas that process information and find errors are key,” says Marie Arsalidou, a developmental cognitive neuroscientist at York University in Toronto, who wasn’t involved in the study. “We’re learning that there’re many regions involved.”
One insight of the new work is that there are hidden mechanisms that differentiate students who may potentially have math learning difficulties. Future interventions could involve teaching kids to think about how they are solving problems and even teaching them different problem-solving strategies.
28. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. They tested the kids’ expressive ability.
B. They controlled the kids’ behavior patterns.
C. They graded the kids’ academic performance.
D. They evaluated the kids’ numeral task response.
29. What may affect the kids’ math ability according to the study
A. The efficiency of processing numbers.
B. The willingness to make an adjustment.
C. The activity level of certain brain regions.
D. The competence in monitoring performance.
30. What may help kids with math learning disabilities
A. Intense training. B. Proper instructions.
C. Insightful answers. D. Complex mechanisms.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What lies behind math learning difficulties
B. What shapes kids’ math learning awareness
C. How can we avoid making math mistakes
D. How can we improve math performance
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】

A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, leaping from one land of dry brush to another as it approaches a group of homes. The landscaping at the first house burns, but the house itself stubbornly refuses to catch fire: any small flames that start along its walls or roof quickly die out. There’s no water in sight — the flames are being stopped by sound waves. This kind of fire suppression may soon play a vital role in fighting wildfires.
The key ingredients for a fire are heat, fuel and oxygen; take one away, and the flames fade. Sound waves can kill a fire by pushing oxygen molecules (分子) away from the fuel, preventing the fire getting the air it needs to continue burning. Geof Bruder, who researched heat energy transformation at NASA, co-founded Sonic Fire Tech to build a sound-generating machine for this purpose. “It’s basically vibrating (振动) the oxygen faster than the fuel can use it, so you block the chemical reaction,” Bruder says.
“The influence of sound on flames is well known,” says Albert Simeoni, head of the department of fire protection engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts. “The challenge is to expand the technology without creating disrupting or even damaging sound effects.” Sonic solves this challenge by using infra sound (次声波). While previous efforts used sound waves in the range of 30 to 60 hertz, which can be produced with simpler equipment, Sonic stays at or below 20 hertz. These waves can’t be heard by people, and they travel farther than higher-frequency waves.
“Sound waves can affect fire strongly, but they work only on small flames,” says Arnaud Trouvé, chair of the University of Maryland’s department of fire protection engineering. Nevertheless, homeowners and companies are ready to give it a try: Sonic is working with two California companies to demonstrate its technology. Homeowners have also signed contracts with the company, which is aiming to have 50 pilot tests early in 2026.
32. What does the underlined word “suppression” mean in paragraph 1
A. Prevention. B. Stimulation. C. Detection. D. Promotion.
33. How does the sound-generating machine work
A. It cuts off the chemical energy. B. It takes away the essential fuel.
C. It speeds up the oxygen vibration. D. It cools down the heat temperature.
34. How was the problem of sound effects solved
A. By improving simpler equipment. B. By broadening wave frequency range.
C. By employing lower-frequency waves. D. By promoting production of the device.
35. What can we learn from Arnaud Trouvé’s words
A. He doubts the economic prospect. B. He implies the technical limitation.
C. He celebrates the potential application. D. He encourages more demonstration.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了利用声波灭火的新技术及其应用前景。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“There’s no water in sight — the flames are being stopped by sound waves.This kind of fire suppression may soon play a vital role in fighting wildfires.(眼前没有水——火焰正被声波熄灭。这种suppression火的方式可能很快在扑灭野火方面发挥至关重要的作用)”可知，眼不见一滴水，而火焰正被声波阻挡，可知这种技术是用于灭火的，即防止火灾的发生或蔓延因此，suppression意为“抑制、阻挡”。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It’s basically vibrating (振动) the oxygen faster than the fuel can use it, so you block the chemical reaction.(它基本上是以比燃料使用氧气更快的速度振动氧气，从而阻止化学反应)”可知，声音发生器是通过加快氧气的振动速度来阻止化学反应，从而达到灭火的目的。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sonic solves this challenge by using infra sound (次声波). While previous efforts used sound waves in the range of 30 to 60 hertz, which can be produced with simpler equipment, Sonic stays at or below 20 hertz. These waves can’t be heard by people, and they travel farther than higher-frequency waves.(Sonic通过使用次声波解决了这一挑战。虽然之前的努力使用了30到60赫兹范围内的声波，这种声波可以用更简单的设备产生，但Sonic的声波保持在20赫兹或以下。这些波人类听不到，而且它们比高频波传播得更远)”可知，Sonic通过使用次声波，即低频波，解决了声音效果的问题。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Sound waves can affect fire strongly, but they work only on small flames,” says Arnaud Trouvé, chair of the University of Maryland’s department of fire protection engineering.(“声波对火势有很强的影响，但它们只对小火有效，”马里兰大学消防工程系主任Arnaud Trouvé说)”可知，Arnaud Trouvé的话暗示了这种声波灭火技术存在技术上的局限性，即它只对小火焰有效。故选B。
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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the age of constant digital exposure, there is a widespread problem — sleep could be challenging to get. ___36___ They are struggling with nonstop information, unfinished text message exchanges, strong desires to check social media, work worries, and self-reflections. To prevent overthinking stealing your sleep, here are three easy-to-apply ways.
Give your thoughts a place to land
When your mind believes it must hold on to every thought, these thoughts can feel like planes circling to touch down. ___37___ A good old-fashioned paper and pen next to your bed is far better than picking up your phone to write on your notes app. Phone in hand, you will likely start checking social media or news. Writing down your thoughts on paper tells your brain they are not ignored but safely stored, relaxing your mind.
___38___

【答案】36. G 37. A 38. C 39. D 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对数字时代人们因过度思考而难以入睡的问题，提出了三种简单易行的方法：将想法写下来、将思绪拉回当下以及正确回应想法而非强行清空。
【36题详解】
上文“In the age of constant digital exposure, there is a widespread problem — sleep could be challenging to get. (在持续数字暴露的时代，有一个普遍的问题——睡眠可能难以获得)”指出了数字时代睡眠困难的普遍现象。G选项“Many people are lying in bed with their minds overthinking. (许多人躺在床上，大脑却在过度思考)”承接上文，将“睡眠困难”这一普遍问题具体化为“睡前过度思考”这一核心现象，引出下文“They are struggling with nonstop information, unfinished text message exchanges, strong desires to check social media, work worries, and self-reflections. (他们正与源源不断的信息、未完成的短信交流、强烈的刷社交媒体欲望、工作焦虑和自我反思作斗争)”，具体描述了过度思考的表现。故选G项。
【37题详解】
上文“When your mind believes it must hold on to every thought, these thoughts can feel like planes circling to touch down. (当你的大脑认为必须抓住每一个想法时，这些想法就会像等待降落的飞机一样盘旋不去)”用“飞机盘旋”比喻思绪纷繁、无法安放的状态。A选项“So, land them on a paper runway. (所以，让它们降落在纸质的跑道上吧)”承接上文，用“So”引出针对这一比喻的解决方案——将思绪写下来，动词“land(着陆，降落)”与上文“飞机盘旋”的比喻形成巧妙的呼应。故选A项。
【38题详解】
下文“Any gathering of mindfulness experts would provide enough evidence of how overthinking lives in imagined futures and in replayed (often mistakenly) pasts. Healthy sleep lives only in the here and now. So, feel the warmth of your blanket, the comfort of your body on your bed, and that super pleasant feeling of letting yourself go before falling asleep. (任何正念专家的聚会都会提供足够的证据，说明过度思考如何存在于想象中的未来和被重新播放(通常是错误地)的过去之中。健康的睡眠只存在于此时此地。所以，感受毯子的温暖、身体在床上舒适的感觉，以及入睡前那种放下一切的愉悦)”整段都在阐述过度思考往往指向过去或未来，而健康的睡眠需要将思绪拉回到当下。C选项“Secure your thoughts to the present (将你的思绪固定在当下)”作为本段小标题，精准概括了下文的核心内容——通过将思绪锚定在此时此刻来对抗过度思考，起到总领全段的作用。故选C项。
【39题详解】
上文“So, feel the warmth of your blanket, the comfort of your body on your bed, and that super pleasant feeling of letting yourself go before falling asleep. (所以，感受毯子的温暖、身体在床上舒适的感觉，以及入睡前那种放下一切的愉悦)”介绍了通过感官体验将思绪拉回当下的具体做法。D选项“This helps win your sleep back instantly. (这有助于让你立刻找回睡眠)”承接上文，用“This”指代上文描述的“感受温暖、舒适、放松”这一行为，指出其直接效果——帮助入睡。故选D项。
【40题详解】
上文“Your goal for a good night’s sleep is not to push all your thoughts away. (一夜好眠的目标不是把所有想法都推开)”否定了“清空思绪”这一常见误解。F选项“Rather, the best way is to respond to them properly. (相反，最好的方式是恰当地回应它们)”承接上文，用“Rather”与上文的错误目标构成转折，提出正确的做法——恰当地回应想法。下文“Gently reminding yourself how far you have come in life will help you stop worrying about what you have to do. (温和地提醒自己你已经走了多远，会帮助你停止担心那些必须做的事情)”则具体阐述了如何“恰当地回应”——用积极的自我提醒来应对思绪。故选F项。

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。
The final exams at Oakwood High were around the corner, and with them, a whispered topic had spread among the seniors: the “Special Room” — a separate, quieter room for students with special needs. With an approved note, students could gain extra time for tests in the room.
Leo knew all about it. He was the kind of student who filled his textbooks with colored words and stayed up late reviewing, yet his scores remained frustratingly average. However, his friend, Ethan, who always passed exams effortlessly, should have got the approved note. Leo felt a wave of unease.
The pressure peaked when his father, who was worried about college, suggested, “Have you thought about applying for the ‘Special Room’ It might help!” The message was clear. Hoping to relieve the growing anxiety of his own as well as his family’s, Leo applied for the “special room” and eventually he secured the official approval. The note in his hand felt heavy, a clear solution bringing no peace.
The evening before the crucial chemistry exam, Leo stared at the note beside his textbook, torn by an inner conflict: “I am not sick; I am just slow. This note is an official permit, but why do I feel like a cheater to use it I have worked hard for so long, but is it enough for my future Still, is it worth losing my self-respect ”
On exam day, the hallway was a river of nervous energy. To the left was the entrance to the “Special Room”, watched over by Mr. Smith. Leo saw Ethan show his approved note and bounce away. Leo’s hand reached his own pocket, where the note was folded. He felt it there, heavy. The sounds of the crowd around him seemed to fade, leaving him standing between two choices: the ready-made help in his pocket, and the door to the main examination hall, where he would be tested on his own.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】参考范文
Then, determined, Leo walked into the main examination hall. The rustling of papers and the quick instructions from the teacher made his heart beat faster. He took a deep breath, pushing aside thoughts of the special room he had given up. As the exam began, he focused solely on the questions, recalling his colored words. Time pressed on, yet he refused to be discouraged by any difficulty. He kept working steadily, determined to secure every point he could earn. The final minutes were a race, but as he placed his pen down, profound calm settled over him. He had faced the challenge directly and honestly, with nothing but his own preparation.
Weeks later, the long-awaited exam results were posted. Leo found his name on the list — a ‘B’ in chemistry, a grade that mirrored his honest effort. A sense of quiet satisfaction warmed him. As he turned to leave, Mr. Smith came up to him. “Leo,” he said, with clear appreciation in his voice, “I saw you choose the main hall that day. That took integrity. In my book, that counts for more than any ‘A’.” Those words struck Leo deeply. He realized then that the true reward wasn’t the letter on the board, but the unshakable respect which he had earned for himself. He had taken a far more important test and, most importantly, he had passed it.

In my old life, I wasn’t a “morning person”. Then I had children, whose needs demanded an early start. Now they’re older, but I can’t shake the early-rising routine. They’re the only part of the day reserved for just my own needs. I get genuine satisfaction from my early productivity. I’ve written more, exercised more consistently, and approached challenges clearly.
But every transformation comes with a price. And mine has been paid in evening hours — those crucial moments when families reconnect, when teenagers may open up, and when marriages deepen. I have become a person who gives the best of herself to the morning and offers only the worst to the night. My husband prefers to stay up late, so he handles the evening tasks. It’s an efficient arrangement, but it has created an unintended difference: I get our daughters’ sleepy mornings and he gets their sharing nighttime moments. The cost feels particularly high as my girls, now 12 and 16, have moved toward a later bedtime. Teenagers are active at night by biological design. My fading evening energy has influenced all my relationships.
I wonder if this is simply aging. But I suspect that in making the most of the early hours, I have changed not just my sleep schedule but my time with family. The energy I pour into morning workouts and emails has to come from somewhere. That somewhere is everywhere else.
I know I’ll never come alive at midnight, but I am learning to stretch the boundaries of my days. The balance isn’t about becoming less of a morning person, but about leaving space for connection even when it doesn’t match my body’s clock.
24. Why does the author keep rising early
A. To do morning chores. B. To satisfy personal needs.
C. To transform a bad habit. D. To match her husband’s schedule.
25. What influence does the family arrangement have
A. The father is worn out at night. B. The children are willing to share.
C. The family members grow closer. D. The author fails to bond with her kids.
26. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The author’s reflection on the routine. B. The author’s complaint about aging.
C. The author’s concern about the marriage. D. The author’s praise for morning workouts.
27. What message does the text convey
A. Sticking to personal routine brings joy. B. Rising early promises a productive life.
C. Adjusting for family is deep wisdom. D. Refusing to change causes lifelong regret.
C
Some kids struggle with math. Now, scientists have pinpointed some of the specific thinking processes and brain regions that might explain the reason.
In the new study, researchers tested second-and third-grade kids with and without math learning disabilities by showing them two numbers from 1 to 9 and giving the kids a few seconds to pick which number they thought was larger. The researchers recorded how long it took kids to answer questions and observed kids’ brain activities using an MRI scanner. The team analyzed the data about the kids’ performance and behavior using a complex mathematical analysis designed to find patterns in behavior, like how carefully children answered throughout the experiment and how they changed their behavior after mistakes. They then compared those behavior patterns with brain activity.
“We weren’t interested in the performance of this numeral task but how they approached the task differently between the two groups,” says Hyesang Chang, a cognitive neuroscientist at San José State University in California.
From the MRI data, Chang and colleagues found that the lack of caution in kids with math learning disabilities when giving answers was associated with lower activity in the middle frontal gyrus, a brain region associated with processing numbers, focus, impulse control and adapting to changing circumstances. Meanwhile, not slowing down after errors was associated with lower activity in another brain region involved in detecting errors and monitoring performance.
Identifying these brain regions suggests that explaining differences in math skills is more complex than finding one part of the brain that handles math and numbers. “Instead, the study helps us know brain areas that process information and find errors are key,” says Marie Arsalidou, a developmental cognitive neuroscientist at York University in Toronto, who wasn’t involved in the study. “We’re learning that there’re many regions involved.”
One insight of the new work is that there are hidden mechanisms that differentiate students who may potentially have math learning difficulties. Future interventions could involve teaching kids to think about how they are solving problems and even teaching them different problem-solving strategies.
28. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. They tested the kids’ expressive ability.
B. They controlled the kids’ behavior patterns.
C. They graded the kids’ academic performance.
D. They evaluated the kids’ numeral task response.
29. What may affect the kids’ math ability according to the study
A. The efficiency of processing numbers.
B. The willingness to make an adjustment.
C. The activity level of certain brain regions.
D. The competence in monitoring performance.
30. What may help kids with math learning disabilities
A. Intense training. B. Proper instructions.
C. Insightful answers. D. Complex mechanisms.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What lies behind math learning difficulties
B. What shapes kids’ math learning awareness
C. How can we avoid making math mistakes
D. How can we improve math performance

A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, leaping from one land of dry brush to another as it approaches a group of homes. The landscaping at the first house burns, but the house itself stubbornly refuses to catch fire: any small flames that start along its walls or roof quickly die out. There’s no water in sight — the flames are being stopped by sound waves. This kind of fire suppression may soon play a vital role in fighting wildfires.
The key ingredients for a fire are heat, fuel and oxygen; take one away, and the flames fade. Sound waves can kill a fire by pushing oxygen molecules (分子) away from the fuel, preventing the fire getting the air it needs to continue burning. Geof Bruder, who researched heat energy transformation at NASA, co-founded Sonic Fire Tech to build a sound-generating machine for this purpose. “It’s basically vibrating (振动) the oxygen faster than the fuel can use it, so you block the chemical reaction,” Bruder says.
“The influence of sound on flames is well known,” says Albert Simeoni, head of the department of fire protection engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts. “The challenge is to expand the technology without creating disrupting or even damaging sound effects.” Sonic solves this challenge by using infra sound (次声波). While previous efforts used sound waves in the range of 30 to 60 hertz, which can be produced with simpler equipment, Sonic stays at or below 20 hertz. These waves can’t be heard by people, and they travel farther than higher-frequency waves.
“Sound waves can affect fire strongly, but they work only on small flames,” says Arnaud Trouvé, chair of the University of Maryland’s department of fire protection engineering. Nevertheless, homeowners and companies are ready to give it a try: Sonic is working with two California companies to demonstrate its technology. Homeowners have also signed contracts with the company, which is aiming to have 50 pilot tests early in 2026.
32. What does the underlined word “suppression” mean in paragraph 1
A. Prevention. B. Stimulation. C. Detection. D. Promotion.
33. How does the sound-generating machine work
A. It cuts off the chemical energy. B. It takes away the essential fuel.
C. It speeds up the oxygen vibration. D. It cools down the heat temperature.
34. How was the problem of sound effects solved
A. By improving simpler equipment. B. By broadening wave frequency range.
C. By employing lower-frequency waves. D. By promoting production of the device.
35. What can we learn from Arnaud Trouvé’s words
A. He doubts the economic prospect. B. He implies the technical limitation.
C. He celebrates the potential application. D. He encourages more demonstration.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the age of constant digital exposure, there is a widespread problem — sleep could be challenging to get. ___36___ They are struggling with nonstop information, unfinished text message exchanges, strong desires to check social media, work worries, and self-reflections. To prevent overthinking stealing your sleep, here are three easy-to-apply ways.
Give your thoughts a place to land
When your mind believes it must hold on to every thought, these thoughts can feel like planes circling to touch down. ___37___ A good old-fashioned paper and pen next to your bed is far better than picking up your phone to write on your notes app. Phone in hand, you will likely start checking social media or news. Writing down your thoughts on paper tells your brain they are not ignored but safely stored, relaxing your mind.
___38___
Any gathering of mindfulness experts would provide enough evidence of how overthinking lives in imagined futures and in replayed (often mistakenly) pasts. Healthy sleep lives only in the here and now. So, feel the warmth of your blanket, the comfort of your body on your bed, and that super pleasant feeling of letting yourself go before falling asleep. ___39___
Realize sleep isn’t from removing all thoughts
Your goal for a good night’s sleep is not to push all your thoughts away. ___40___ Gently reminding yourself how far you have come in life will help you stop worrying about what you have to do. Sleep is not about clearing your thoughts, but instead about how you hold on to them when you pull the blanket over you at night.
A. So, land them on a paper runway.
B. Clarify your thoughts to the fullest
C. Secure your thoughts to the present
D. This helps win your sleep back instantly.
E. Overthinking in bed is difficult to address.
F. Rather, the best way is to respond to them properly.
G. Many people are lying in bed with their minds overthinking.

The final exams at Oakwood High were around the corner, and with them, a whispered topic had spread among the seniors: the “Special Room” — a separate, quieter room for students with special needs. With an approved note, students could gain extra time for tests in the room.
Leo knew all about it. He was the kind of student who filled his textbooks with colored words and stayed up late reviewing, yet his scores remained frustratingly average. However, his friend, Ethan, who always passed exams effortlessly, should have got the approved note. Leo felt a wave of unease.
The pressure peaked when his father, who was worried about college, suggested, “Have you thought about applying for the ‘Special Room’ It might help!” The message was clear. Hoping to relieve the growing anxiety of his own as well as his family’s, Leo applied for the “special room” and eventually he secured the official approval. The note in his hand felt heavy, a clear solution bringing no peace.
The evening before the crucial chemistry exam, Leo stared at the note beside his textbook, torn by an inner conflict: “I am not sick; I am just slow. This note is an official permit, but why do I feel like a cheater to use it I have worked hard for so long, but is it enough for my future Still, is it worth losing my self-respect ”
On exam day the hallway was a river of nervous energy. To the left was the entrance to the “Special Room”, watched over by Mr. Smith. Leo saw Ethan show his approved note and bounce away. Leo’s hand reached his own pocket, where the note was folded. He felt it there, heavy. The sounds of the crowd around him seemed to fade, leaving him standing between two choices: the ready-made help in his pocket, and the door to the main examination hall, where he would be tested on his own.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Then, determined, Leo walked into the main examination hall.
