第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
A
Great painter Salvador Dali once said, “A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.” These words perfectly describe V Umapathy, an art teacher from Puducherry, India, who instills (灌输) the seeds of creativity in his students through arts and crafts.
Umapathy makes beautiful crafts out of biodegradable materials like bamboo, dried leaves, seeds, roots, branches, vegetable waste, and so on. In this way he promotes sustainability in his creations, leaving an everlasting impact on his students.
While growing up, Umapathy was inspired by his father, a teacher and expert weaver (编织者).
“He spent most of his evenings engaging in weaving. I would observe him and eventually developed an interest in design, colour, and the art,” recalls Umapathy.
In 2010, Umapathy joined a high school in Puducherry as their art teacher. It took him some time to excite the interest of the students. He experimented with different arts and crafts using a variety of materials. “One day I suddenly realized that most of the students at my school weren’t able to afford the materials or equipment to create craftwork. So I decided to opt for natural materials, which are as good as non-biodegradable materials and easy to find,” he says.
This move made the students more interested in the craft than before. Under his guidance, the students were convinced that they could make wonders even out of waste materials. Now the school exhibits over 300 pieces of artwork on its walls, all created by the students over the years.
Currently, over 20 students have chosen fine arts for their bachelors and are pursuing a career in it. Muruga, who currently works as a designer, says, “When I expressed my wish to pursue arts after college, Mr. Umapathy guided me. It was his encouragement and guidance that helped me throughout. Now he still helps me by referring to my name, whenever there is work or a project.”
1. Which of the following can best describe Umapathy’s craftwork
A. Abstract. B. Eco-friendly. C. Traditional. D. Fashionable.
2. What did Umapathy often do as a child
A. He assisted his father in weaving. B. He learned weaving techniques.
C. He collected weaving materials. D. He watched his father weaving.
3. Why did Umapathy choose natural materials
A. They are freely available.
B. They are perfect for crafts.
C. They can fire students’ imagination.
D. They can raise students’ awareness of recycling.
4. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Muruga is very grateful for Mr. Umapathy’s help.
B. Umapathy is proud of his students’ achievements.
C. Muruga is more famous in the field than his teacher.
D. Umapathy often works with his students in big projects.
B
Huge piles of research on diet are published annually. The most shocking of these get reported in the media. All claim to be based on the latest research and each claims to prove the last study wrong. Do scientists really not know what’s good for us, or is the news report to blame for the confusion
Misleading media coverage plays a role, but publication bias (偏见) is one major source: studies that show surprising results are more likely to get published. “What you see published in the nightly news is the end result of a system where everyone is encouraged to come up with a positive result,” says Vinay at Oregon Science University.
One way to get around this problem is to conduct large, randomized controlled trials, which involve randomly assigning participants to different groups to control variables. But these kinds of studies are difficult to do for foods, as few would risk eating habits on chance; fewer still sustain changes long enough to benefit. Instead, nutrition scientists usually observe what people eat by asking them to fill out food diaries, and then track the health of participants over a given period of time.
In these “observational” studies, people track their diets while going about their lives. Differences between subjects in what they do outside of mealtimes can make all the difference. People who eat what is seen as an unhealthy diet — with more fast food, for instance — might have unhealthy lifestyles in other ways, such as smoking. Consequently, dietary effects are hard to set apart.
Because of these difficulties, even today’s most recommended dietary advice lacks good quality evidence. This doesn’t mean we can eat as much cake as we like. But it does suggest that within limits of common sense, one way of eating is about as good as another. While admittedly simple advice, it removes the pressure to constantly run after the latest amazing diet or fear seemingly harmful foods. Within reason, trusting your stomach is mostly fine.
5. What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1
A. Scientists fail to figure out truth. B. News spreads confusion on purpose.
C. Research on diet astonishes people. D. Media reports conflicting diet studies.
6. Which of the following news items suggests publication bias
A. Chocolate unexpectedly aids weight loss. B. Calorie restriction helps to slow aging.
C. Effects of zero fat diet require further tests. D. Whole grain diet improves heart health.
7. What do paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly discuss
A. The reliability of self-reported diet data. B. How long-term diet tracking improves health.
C. The main problems in studying dietary effects. D. How lifestyle factors affect diet research results.
8. What is the author’s suggestion for food choice
A. Avoid potentially unhealthy foods. B. Consume varieties of foods.
C. Count on the latest dietary advice. D. Follow body signals sensibly.
C
Today’s digital media deliver rapid messages — such as phone notifications and text overlays on videos — to our brains at an impressive speed, far faster than spoken words reach us. But can we process these texts as quickly as we can determine the makeup of the visuals that are also a part of our screen life
The scientists began their research by considering current scientific explanations of how we understand language, which center on word-by-word sentence processing models. They concluded these don’t effectively account for how quickly our brains can process entire sentences seen at a glance, as opposed to word by word like in speech.
The scientists used a technique called magnetoencephalography, which uses magnetic (磁的) fields to track electrical activity in the brain. While being scanned, volunteers were presented with a three-word sentence structure that flashed onto a screen for 300milliseconds, followed by a second set of words that was either identical or differed by one word. The participants were asked to assess whether the second sentence was the same as the first or had been changed.
The scans revealed that the left temporal cortex of the brain, which is an important part of the brain’s ability to understand language, showed higher levels of activity for three-word sentences than random word lists. The activity appeared in just 125 milliseconds. The fastest brain activity was observed when phrases like “nurses clean wounds” were presented, in comparison to noun lists such as “hearts lungs livers”.
A similar rapid response was noted when sentences with a subject, verb and object were altered so that they contained an agreement error — for example “nurses cleans wounds” — or became implausible (难以置信的), for example “wounds clean nurses”. But the effect disappeared when the sentences were given less typical structures, for example “wounds nurses clean” or “wounds cleans nurses”.
While the authors note they focused on English, adding that rapid at-a-glance comprehension may rely on other features in different languages, they say the study offers new insights. “The earliest stage of at-a-glance comprehension appears to be more structure than meaning driven,” they write.
9. What did the new research focus on
A. The impact of constant flood of short messages.
B. Human brain’s comprehension of screen visuals.
C. The essence of word-by-word sentence processing.
D. Human brain’s at-a-glance sentence comprehension.
10. What task did researchers set for volunteers of the experiment
A. Indicating whether the sentences match.
B. Correcting mistakes in the flashed sentences.
C. Interpreting the meanings of unstructured sentences.
D. Combining unrelated words to form meaningful sentences.
11. Which of the following was associated with the quickest brain response
A. Lists of nouns. B. Three-word sentences.
C. Unstructured words. D. Less typical structures.
12. What does the last paragraph talk about concerning the research
A. Its implication. B. Its practical application.
C. Expectations for follow-up studies. D. Scientists with new perspectives.
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. ____13____
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. ____14____ Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. ____15____ The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.
____16____ The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. ____17____ Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.
A. Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
B. Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
C. Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
D. This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.
E. None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.
F. Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.
G. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.

When English Meets The Arts
Recently, our school organized a series of activities titled “When English Meets The Arts”.
Among the activities, a drama performance titled “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” impressed me most. Students adapted Shakespeare’s classic into a 20-minute play, blending English lines with modern dance and live music. The actors’ vivid expressions and fluent English brought the magical story to life, while the stage design combined watercolor paintings with digital projections, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
This activity showed me how art can make language learning vivid. It wasn’t just about reciting lines but feeling the emotions behind words. I realized that English, when connected with art, becomes a bridge to share stories beyond borders.
【答案】One possible version:
The next morning, Susan and the schoolmates came to the lecture hall. She felt nervous and happy. They asked Susan about Tom. She told the story patiently. After that, everyone burst into applause. The headmaster asked Susan what her dream was. Susan told him that she wanted to be a famous dancer, but her mom thought it’s impossible because they had no money. On hearing that, the headmaster smiled and said, “Don’t worry, reach your dream, Susan. From today, you will have scholarship to make your dream come true.”
Susan couldn’t believe what the headmaster had said. To praise Susan’s good deeds and encourage her dream, the headmaster and teachers decided to donate the money for her dream. They told Susan to study hard, stay kind and always to be helpful, and then she would realize her dream. Susan laughed joyfully and cried. She said thanks many times to the headmaster and also her teachers. Her dream would come true. She just recalled her dad, and he must be proud of her. Susan went home happily.
