Decades ago，my friend Caetlin received a special assignment from the poet Robert L．Hass，who instructed each student to memorize three poems of their choosing from The Norton Anthology of American Literature—not for any urgent exam reason，he claimed，but instead to prepare them for their unavoidable future occasions when you’re going to be alone，and poetry is going to be all you have.
If the task was a strange one，it’s because the act of memorizing a poem feels curiously old-fashioned in an era when few of us encounter poetry at all.When I was in graduate school，working toward a degree in English literature，I mostly limited myself to essays.It was only in my 40s that I began to change my ways.It happened in a flight to Seattle.For hours，I read nothing else but a poem.Sometimes I spoke its lines aloud，my voice masked by the airplane’s thrum.Sometimes I went through the whole poem at once，and sometimes I repeated a single stanza(诗节) over and over，and by the time my plane landed on the West Coast，I had the whole thing，all 40 lines of it，in my head.Because the process is as simple as it is very boring，memorizing a great poem always begins as a crime.The boredom of repetition reduces the great charm it has.But as you run your hands through the rock，the lines at last come together again，and the scattered text transforms back into a treasure.
In other words，poetry survives continuously by becoming a part of those who read it.It can do so only because it is so specific，so entirely different from us，that taking it in expands our own sense of what we are.
Some of the poems I’ve memorized are already fading，and that’s fine.I know that if I spend a little time with them，they’ll sing in me again.Others keep beating in me like a new pulse.I won’t promise you that memorizing poetry will make your life better，but it will make you more: more in touch with language，with other minds，maybe with what you might yet become.
24．Why did Robert L．Hass advise students to read poems
A．To become literature professors.
B．To prepare for the coming exams.
C．To compose more original poems.
D．To relieve their future loneliness.
25．Why does the author say that memorizing a poem begins as a crime
A．It’s out of date to recite poems.
B．Repetition wastes a lot of time.
C．Repetition ruins the poem’s beauty.
D．It’s a shame to read poems on plane.
26．How does understanding poetry influence us
A．By broadening self-understanding.
B．By refreshing our good memories.
C．By helping us survive the hard life.
D．By reminding us to forget the past.
27．What is the author’s attitude towards memorizing poetry in the last paragraph
A．Doubtful. B．Reserved. C．Appreciative. 　D．Critical.
C
According to new studies，many birds in the Amazon rainforest have become smaller as temperatures have increased.The difference hasn’t been obvious，but it has been significant enough that some scientists have suggested it’s a universal response to climate change.
But new research finds that the body size reductions aren’t happening across the board with some large-brained birds having much less significant changes.
For the study，researchers studied some data on about 70,000 birds that had died when they crashed into buildings in Chicago from 1978 to 2016.They added data on brain volume and lifespan(寿命) for 49 of the 52 species of migratory birds(候鸟) in the original study.
They found that birds with very large brains had reductions in overall body size that were about one-third of the reductions noted in birds with smaller brains.They thought that in birds，the species with big brains are the ones that build tools，manage to survive in tough environments，live longer，invest more time and energy into raising babies，and end up surviving better in the wild.
Researchers aren’t certain exactly how warmer temperatures might lead to decreasing body size in birds，but they are considering two possible explanations，which could even be happening at the same time.First，natural selection might be favoring birds that can dissipate heat better.This is because smaller birds have higher ratios(比例) of surface area to volume，so being small can help birds stay cool.Second，warmer summers might have less food available for birds at the time when they are feeding their babies.In that case，birds might be getting smaller because of decreased food over the years.
The findings don’t suggest that climate change is having zero impact on bigger-brained birds，but researchers believe these findings can inform us of climate change and help set conservation priorities.
28．How does climate change affect birds
A．Their body size shrinks. B．Their lifespan shortens.
C．Their body temperature rises. D．Their brain size expands.
29．How did the scientists do the research
A．By analyzing the bird data.
B．By observing the birds dying.
C．By studying the bird death rate.
D．By clarifying the bird species.
30．Which word can best replace the underlined word “dissipate” in paragraph 5
A．Use. B．Hold. C．Absorb. D．Lose.
31．What can be the best title for the text
A．Birds’ Body Sizes Vary B．Brain Size Matters for Birds
C．Climate Changes Sharply D．Temperature Rises Globally

(2025·山东名校联盟高二下期中)
A recent study published in the British Journal of Social Psychology suggests that people seen as kind and helpful are also perceived(感知) as more physically attractive.This effect highlights how kind actions may shape perceptions of physical beauty.
In her new research，Natalia Kononov，a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania，concentrated on prosocial behavior—acts of kindness，cooperation，and helpfulness—and sought to understand whether this quality has a unique effect on perceptions of physical beauty.
The research involved ten studies with over 4,000 participants.The team designed various contexts，where participants were asked to observe real-life prosocial acts，read descriptions of kind actions，or imagine helpful behavior.Participants were shown images of people alongside descriptions of either prosocial or neutral behaviors，and then rated their physical attractiveness on a standardized scale.Some studies removed images to test if the effects behavior extend beyond appearance.
The researchers discovered a consistent link between prosocial actions and higher ratings of physical attractiveness.Participants described as performing prosocial acts were rated more attractive than those without.“An interesting aspect of our findings is that kindness and generosity made both men and women appear more attractive.This gender-universal appeal highlights just how broadly kindness can shape perceptions of beauty，” Kononov said.
The effect appeared strongest when kindness was part of the person’s usual behavior，rather than a one-off act.Plus，prosocial influence on attractiveness ratings was stronger than that of other positive traits(品质)，like humor or intelligence.This suggests that kindness and helpfulness play a unique role in shaping physical perceptions beyond a general “halo effect”，where positive qualities broadly enhance other evaluations.
Despite these findings，some limitations exist.“One limitation is that our study centered largely on participants’ initial perceptions rather than on how these impressions may evolve over time.” Kononov said，“Additionally，the sample was primarily from United States-based participants，which may limit how the findings apply to other cultural contexts.So further research would be valuable to understand how these dynamics might shift in diverse settings.”
32．What does Natalia Kononov’s study focus on
A．How kindness influences beauty evaluation.
B．How physical beauty determines perceptions.
C．Whether prosocial behavior shapes attractiveness.
D．Whether helpfulness improves social behavior.
33．How was the study carried out
A．By analyzing prosocial behavior.
B．By comparing attractiveness ratings.
C．By evaluating imagination abilities.
D．By reading the image descriptions.
34．What can we learn from the findings of the research
A．Constant kindness boosts physical appeal.
B．Physical appearance dominates behavior.
C．Gender affects attractiveness evaluations.
D．All positive qualities enhance attractiveness.
35．What can be inferred from Kononov
A．Changeable contexts are necessary.
B．Long-term dynamics remain unclear.
C．Cultural diversity was prioritized in sampling.
D．Initial impressions are irrelevant to relationship.

Leonardo da Vinci and Nature
In the modern world，art and science are two very separate activities，but in Leonardo’s time they were closely connected.Science meant mathematics and medical studies. 36 Mathematics included practical work like surveying land for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky.An artist might need to measure the different parts of the body.He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct. 37
Mathematics was also connected to music because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described in numbers. 38 More than this，though，Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world，including music，and he said that “without them nothing can be done”．
“Nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy，” wrote Leonardo.In all his activities，Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that control nature.In his search for those rules，he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details.Actual experience was more important to him than opinion，and he worked from facts to ideas. 39 His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures.He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature.
40 His quick little sketches，often done while wandering outside，helped him to catch a movement or a shape.More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a pen and ruler.In July 2001，a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for $12 million.It was the most expensive drawing in the world.
A．Leonardo was always drawing.
B．How could these be connected with art
C．Leonardo was also an influential philosopher.
D．Mathematicians and doctors worked to discover the unknown.
E．Above all，Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked.
F．Leonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing.
G．You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper.

Dear Jack，
How are you doing？I’d like to tell you something about my school’s first Chinese Poetry Festival，which was aimed at promoting students’ understanding Chinese poems.The festival appealed to a lot of students who had a great passion for poems.There were many lectures given by famous professors and interesting poem games held by Students’ Council.What impressed me most was that some students created a great number of outstanding poems.
In my opinion，the festival was an unbelievable success，which not only offered us a precious opportunity to appreciate excellent poems，but also aroused our enthusiasm for Chinese poems.
Yours，
Li Hua
