Kyle Lybarger, often dressed in camo(迷彩服), doesn't look like a typical social media influencer.Yet, as a forest worker in Alabama, he has found unexpected internet fame by introducing his followers to the overlooked world of southeastern plants. Today, he acts as a guardian for growing rare and endangered plant populations. Ironically, his conservation journey began with an ecological mistake.
A decade ago, while managing a private forest, Lybarger wanted to attract more deer and wild turkeys. He chose an open, rocky area, deciding it would be a good place to plant food for wildlife. He used herbicide(除草剂) to clear existing plants, sowing a foreign seed fix. In the dry, shallow soil, the seeds didn’ t take. But around the edges of the land, where he hadn’ t used herbicide, a breathtaking picture of colorful, unfamiliar native flowers came into view in the sunlight.
After Lybarger posted the photos of the flowers online, a local botanist reached out, identifying the flowers as rare species. Lybarger realized he had nearly killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless species just to plant a few foreign ones.“That’ s really a light bulb moment (灵光一闪),” he recalls. He recognized this reflected a common human tendency to dominate rather than coexist with nature. Diving into research, he learned that before human settlement, the Southeast was home to expansive grasslands. Over the centuries, human development and fire control allowed foreign trees choked out the once-diverse grasslands, killing native species.
Finding a new mission, Lybarger now knocks on doors to instruct landowners who are unknowing hosts of rare plants to care for those populations. He also uses his massive online platform to raise funds to protect biodiversity. His secret sauce, which immediately carried like wildfire across the nation, is his genuine passion. Lybarger’ s story proves that true environmental protection begins when we stop rewriting nature and learn to read it.
24. What made the native flowers come out
A. Herbicide-free soil. B. Wildlife waste.
C. Foreign-seed removal. D. Sufficient sunlight.
25. What does Lybarger’ s“light bulb moment” indicate
A. He found a new planting trick. B. He doubted the expert's words.
C. He decided to study botany. D. He regretted human intervention.
26. What does Lybarger's current work involve
A. Building online platforms. B. Selling his secret sauce for money.
C. Learning conservation rules. D. Educating landowners on rare plants.
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A. A Campaign Redefines Nature B. A Mistake Awakens a Guardian
C. Secrets to Growing Native Plants D. Hidden Wealth of Vast Grasslands
C
You enter the kitchen to grab something off the counter, only to find halfway there that the thought has suddenly disappeared. Backtracking to the living room brings it rushing back. Your brain isn't broken.In fact, you' ve just experienced what psychologists call the doorway effect, a common and well-documented cognitive hiccup(认知偏差).
Gabriel Radvansky, a psychology professor at the University of Notre Dame, who has spent years investigating how physical movement affects memory, uncovers the underlying mechanism: the brain organizes experience into separate episodes called event models. Each room, each distinct context represents a separate episode with doorways serving as“event boundaries” that signal transitions between episodes. When you cross a doorway, the brain files the previous episode of activity away and begins building a new one. As a result, the intention you formed in the original room becomes buried under newly activated contextual information.
——高三英语第3页(共8页)——
In controlled experiments, Radvansky found that participants were two to three times more likely to forget their intended task after crossing a doorway than after travelling the same distance within a single room.“Recalling the decision or activity made in a different room is difficult because it has been filed and covered up,” he explained.“Retracing your steps works because it reinstates the original episode and brings back the buried intention to the surface.”
Jeffrey Zacks,a psychologist at Washington University has described the significance of Radvansky's work precisely. Scientists once believed time was the primary factor in memory access and later research showed it was the amount of new information arriving over time, he noted. The doorway studies added a third dimension, the structure of experience itself, adjusting access to the immediately relevant memories accordingly.
For everyday purposes, forming a clear, specific intention before crossing a doorway rather than relying on surrounding memory, reduces the chance of losing it at the boundary. Writing it down achieves the same effect as it moves the intention into an external record that location-updating process can’ t touch. And recognize that walking into a room and forgetting why, which becomes more frequent under stress, tiredness or high cognitive load, is a normal feature of how your brain manages episodic transitions, a trade-off between efficiency and immediate access, not a malfunction.
28. What do we know about event models from the passage
A. They cause memory disorder. B. They mix different life experiences.
C. They are erased by doorways. D. They are linked to specific contexts.
29. What does the underlined word“reinstates” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Restores. B. Replaces.
C. Reconstructs. D. Restricts
30. What is the significance of Radvansky's studies according to Zacks
A. Confirming the role of information. B. Offering new memory perspectives.
C. Revolutionizing memory loss research. D. Correcting traditional memory views.
31. What is recommended to prevent the doorway effect
A. Avoiding the event boundaries. B. Reducing the multitask chances.
C. Externalizing the specific intention. D. Embracing the declining memory.
D
Static electricity(静电) is a common phenomenon that we experience daily. Take off a sweater in winter, and you might hear a sudden sound; brush a balloon against your hair, and the hair stands on end.Yet, this familiar event—— known scientifically as the triboelectricity effect(摩擦起电效应)—— has puzzled scientists for centuries. For a long time, researchers relied on the“triboelectric series”. This was a fixed ranking system designed to determine exactly which materials would charge positively or negatively upon contact.
However, the deep rules of this effect confused researchers because experiments often produced contradictory results. Identical testing procedures using the exact same materials frequently resulted in different charges, going against the established ranking. Consequently, disappointed scientists often dismissed these confusing results as human error, wrong methods, or poor equipment. This lack of reliability blocked the progress of related scientific studies for a long time.
Recently, new research has brought a major breakthrough. Scientists suggest that what looked like chaos is actually a natural change over time. In a detailed study, researchers found that a material’ s charging behaviour heavily depends on its“contact history”. Repeated physical interactions cause tiny surface shape changes. This physical wear systematically shifts the material's tendency toward negative charging. The discovery perfectly explains the historical mistakes: scientists were testing worn materials without knowing it.

In a follow-up field study, the team studied oxide materials (氧化物) such as sand, and identified the hidden chemical factor driving their electrical behavior: carbon-carrying substances. These substances, which are everywhere in the atmosphere, gradually coat all exposed surfaces with an invisible layer. When researchers heated the materials to high temperatures to completely remove this environmental pollution, they observed something amazing: the direction of the charge exchange went in the opposite direction, proving that the unseen pollution secretly governed the electrical reaction.
These exciting findings challenge the conventional idea of a fixed ranking. A material’ s electrical identity is actually dynamic, shaped by its physical history and environmental exposure. By mapping these hidden factors, scientists are turning a long-held mystery into a predictable science. This deeper understanding will help develop battery-free wearable devices, prevent industrial disastrous explosions,and even evaluate the potential damage of lunar dust to future space missions.
32. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By providing everyday examples. B. By listing experimental data.
C. By raising a scientific question. D. By sharing a fabulous story.
33. What affects the material’ s charging tendency
A. The initial physical state. B. The testing methods.
C. The surface shape shifts. D. The experiment equipment.
34. What conclusion can be drawn from the field study
A. Oxides produce environmental pollution. B. Invisible coatings control electrical responses.
C. Heating changes oxide structures. D. Carbon protects oxides against pollution.
35. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. Limitations and predictions. B. Statistics and practices.
C. Evaluations and applications. D. Difficultics and opportunities.

On a recent trip to Costa Rica, I visited a well-cstablished ecological coffee farm. This farm is less about tasty coffee drinks and sweet treats. 36 l had pictured simply seeing coffee beans and tasting drinks, but being at an actual farm was totally different and amazing.
The first surprise was the spectacular setting. 37 The farm is green and natural. The open-air guest center overlooks a waterfall and a gorge (峡谷) full of tropical greenery. Everything here is designed to blend perfectly with nature. Walking along paths bordered with palm trees and tropical plants made me feel more like hiking in nature.
38 Before this trip, when I heard about a coffee tasting, I imagined sweet, frozen drinks. In fact, it turned out to be a sensory workshop similar to a wine tasting, with rich flavors and special ways to evaluate the coffee. Sampling several kinds of coffee grown and roasted right on the farm truly opened my eyes to its complex natural flavors.
Beyond the tasting, the tour also offered surprising scientific facts. For instance, I learned a coffee plant takes almost five years to produce beans. 39 The longer a bean has been roasted, the less caffeine it has. That means lighter roasts actually have more caffeine than darker ones. The staff said grinding(研磨) and brewing(冲泡) them as a pour-over can get the best flavor.
Before leaving, I enjoyed a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Knowing that it takes roughly fifty beans and years of patience to produce a single cup, I realized the enormous effort behind it. 40
—高三英语第5页(共8页)—
A. My initial idea of coffee tasting was quite simple.
B. Erase all thoughts of a flat and dull farm from your mind.
C. This special experience changed how I viewed my daily coffee.
D. So you won't be able to sample a cup from your personal plant.
E. It's also a beautiful and instructive farm to offer you a great trip.
F. Another unexpected thing I learned was about the roasting process.
G. It's actually focused on coffee development, sustainability, and education.

Love is the Best Magic
As a children's book author,I have always painted wonderful fantasies with words for my seven-year-old daughter, Lily. My favorite creation was Pip, a tiny fairy living safely inside our living room walls. Iwhispered to her that Pip built beautiful castles out of our lost colorful buttons, slept comfortably in an empty matchbox, and used shiny candy wrappers as magic carpets. Every night before bed, Lily would lovingly leave a tiny cup of water by the baseboard. And every morning, her eyes would light up with wonder when she found it empty——a secret task I performed while she slept.
——高三英语第7页(共8页)——
Pip's adventures in the wall always mirrored Lily's real life, acting as a gentle shield against her childhood fears. When a fierce thunderstorm terrified Lily, I told her Pip was bravely organizing a fairy band to play drums inside the wall, turning the scary thunder into a grand concert. I wove these evolving stories with deep love, hoping to protect her pure heart. To me, magic was just another language for love.
Recently, however, Lily's school started a“Science of Everyday Life” month. Her teacher, Mr. Davis,began teaching the class how the real world functions. One week, Lily came home excitedly explaining how gravity keeps our feet on the ground. Another week, she learned how electricity travels safely through wires to light up our bulbs. She asked if the electricity would accidentally shock Pip. I had to quickly invent a story that Pip wore special rubber boots.
Watching her eagerly combine logical facts with my fairy tales, a quiet worry began to bother me. Iknew it was only a matter of time before the science class covered the actual internal structures of houses.Magic is undeniably beautiful, but it is not real. Was I crossing the fine line between magic and lying Every morning as I watched her board the school bus, my heart sank. I realized the beautiful bubble I had blown for her was bound to be mercilessly popped by scientific facts. I just didn’ t know when the storm would arrive.
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。
One afternoon, Lily returned from school with teary eyes.
However, Lily hugged me.

范文一：
Dear Leo,
I'm glad to help you pick a Chinese name! Between the two options,I personally recommend“Li Yong”.
The primary reason is its striking similarity in pronunciation to your English name, making it remarkably easy for Chinese people to recognize and remember. More importantly,“Yong” represents bravery, which perfectly matches the original meaning of“Leo”— the lion. It reflects your energetic and courageous personality.
I sincerely wish you a fruitful stay in China and hope this name brings you continuous inspiration. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
范文二：
Dear Leo,
I'm absolutely thrilled to help you choose a Chinese name! After carefully considering both options,I highly recommend“Li Ao”.
The main reason is that“Li Ao” shares a fantastic phonetic connection with“Leo”, making it catchy and natural for you to adapt to. More significantly, the character“Ao” represents profound knowledge and the exploration of mysteries. I believe this name beautifully captures your academic pursuits and your passion for learning.
I sincerely wish you a rewarding and memorable study experience in China. May this meaningful name accompany you on an amazing journey! Looking forward to your arrival.
Yours,
Li Hua

One afternoon, Lily returned from school with teary eyes. She dropped her backpack heavily, showing me her science notebook with a broken heart. Sobbing quietly, she explained how Mr. Davis's lesson on house structures proved that cold wires and bricks left no room for fairies. Seeing her absolute trust shattered, I was washed over by a wave of guilt. I knelt down, held her trembling hands, and told her everything. I admitted to emptying the water cup daily, explaining anxiously that my hidden secret was only meant to protect her pure heart from the harsh reality.
However, Lily hugged me. Resting her wet cheek on my shoulder, she breathed a soft sigh. She murmured that she finally understood the truth about the fairy band during those terrifying thunderstorms. It wasn't Pip playing the drums to comfort her in the dark; it had always been me standing by her side. Bracing myself for her disappointment, I felt her squeeze me even closer. My heavy burden of guilt instantly melted away. With a gentle,understanding smile, she whispered,“I don't need a tiny fairy, Mom. Your love is the best magic.”

But this year is going to be really special. Our former student and famous physicist, Dr. James Anderson, who initiated the STEM Day, will return to join the celebration.
Our STEM Day has grown into something far beyond traditional celebrations. Yes, you’ ll still find classic fun like science quizzes, 3D-printed models display and machine learning books available in the library. But this year,we’ re launching an exciting new hands-on activity: a VEX GO tournament where you’ ll build, test, and program a robot and compete before audience.
This year, anyone who completes a challenge gets a mini robotics set — a small reward to take home and explore.
This celebration reminds us that STEM isn't just subjects in class, but useful tools that shape our modern world. So mark your calendars, sign up at the front office, join the fun. Maybe you' ll understand why we science teachers get so excited about it.
