At just 12 years old, Mia DaPonte has made history by becoming the youngest female Master Scuba Diver in the United States. This honorable title, awarded by organizations like PADI, represents an advanced level of training that most divers never achieve. Mia’s remarkable journey began with a simple inspiration: learning that her mother had been a certified diver since high school.
Despite her early interest, Mia had to wait until the minimum age of 10 to begin formal training. On her tenth birthday, she started in the challenging waters near her Rhode Island home — known for cold temperatures and poor visibility. Earning her initial Open Water Diver certificate required persistence, a quality her instructors immediately recognized. One noted, “She sets her mind to something and gets it done.”
Over the next two years, Mia dedicated herself to the demanding process. PADI courses combine practical diving with classroom study, and Mia progressed through several learning skills like first aid, underwater navigation, and fish identification. Her mother became her constant “diving buddy” by enrolling in the same courses, providing crucial support. Mia’s commitment is reflected in her 78 logged dives, far more than the 50 required for master certification.
The final step presented a unique challenge: Mia had to wait until she turned 12 to take her last two required courses. To complete the Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver certifications, her family traveled to Mexico. There, on her 12th birthday, she passed the advanced course. The next day, she faced the strenuous Rescue Diver test, which included multiple dives and demonstrating the ability to rescue and bring back to life an unconscious adult diver — the most difficult task of all.
While proud of her accomplishment, Mia sees it as just the beginning. She plans to pursue further diving education and dreams of becoming a marine biologist, with a special passion for studying sharks through tagging and tracking.
4. What made Mia’s early training in Rhode Island particularly difficult?
A. A lack of qualified diving instructors.
B. Challenging storms and currents.
C. Cold and low-visibility water conditions.
D. The absence of required persistence.
5. What was key to Mia’s progress during her two-year training?
A. Her mother’s participation as her partner.
B. The simplicity of the PADI course system.
C. Her natural talent for underwater navigation.
D. Financial support for international travel.
6. What does the word “strenuous” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A. Tough and demanding.
B. Enjoyable and relaxing.
C. Complex and discouraging.
D. Advanced and rewarding.
7. What does Mia’s plan for the future show about her?
A. She is satisfied with her current accomplishment.
B. She views diving only as a personal hobby.
C. She hopes to become a professional diving coach.
D. She aims to connect her passion with science.
C
The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California, offers a glimpse into the art, culture, and history of ancient China. The museum’s “Into China” gallery exhibits rare treasures from this East Asian country, which has a rich history.
“The museum was designed to help visitors learn more about ancient Chinese history in a unique way,” said Joel Hodge, a program director at the museum. “Many of the items in the gallery can only be seen here or in China.”
According to Hodge, about 200,000 to 250,000 people visit the museum each year. “Into China” visitors can see a replica (复制品) of the Forbidden City, an amazing complex located in Beijing, China’s capital. Replicas of the city’s buildings offer a bird’s eye view of the world of China’s emperors. A replica of the Dragon Throne, on which Emperors once sat high above the ground, serves as a reminder of hereditary (世袭的) power.
The exhibition also introduces visitors to Confucius, one of the most celebrated philosophers in history. Confucius’ teachings further stressed kindness and morality. Visitors can learn how his beliefs helped shape the culture of ancient China.
There’re other special treasures, and a porcelain room holds glass vases decorated with beautiful drawings of nature and animals. “The artworks in the gallery were created in the same way ancient Chinese craftsmen would make them,” Hodge noted. “That way, visitors can see how ancient pottery, instruments, and pieces of art were made.”
Finally, replicas of China’s famous terracotta warriors are on exhibition. The original sculptures were unearthed in the 20th century. They had been buried with the first Chinese Emperor to protect him in the afterlife.
“The terracotta soldiers are my favorite part of the exhibition,” said Greg Gregory, who was visiting the Blackhawk with his son. “It’s amazing to think that the ancient Chinese spent 40 years making them. Seeing the replicas really takes you back to the time when the people of ancient China looked at these soldiers as a symbol of protection.”
8. What is the purpose of the museum’s “Into China” gallery?
A. To develop people’s interest in cultures. B. To attract a lot more visitors to China.
C. To make Chinese ancient culture known. D. To draw wide attention to modern China.
9. What makes the artworks in the “Into China” gallery so special?
A. Their special shapes. B. Their nice decoration.
C. Their unique materials. D. Their producing method.
10. What did Greg Gregory talk about concerning the terracotta warriors?
A. The greatness. B. The history. C. The application. D. The significance.
11. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Learning about China from a gallery B. Researching the culture of ancient China
C. Adding Chinese artworks to a museum D. Visiting an amazing museum in China
D
Our daily lives are defined by conscious experience, ranging from the joy of sunlight to the pain of an injury. This leads to a key question: why did evolution create a system capable of suffering? Experts suggest consciousness evolved in three stages to ensure survival.
The first stage is basic arousal. It acts as an alarm system when life is threatened. Pain is crucial here, signaling damage and triggering immediate responses like fleeing or freezing. This simple form of awareness helps organisms stay alive in dangerous situations.
Later, general alertness developed. This allows focusing on specific signals while ignoring others. For instance, noticing smoke while talking enables one to find a fire source. This targeted attention helps learn connections between events, from simple causes to complex scientific patterns, improving adaptation to the environment.
Finally, reflexive self-consciousness emerged in humans and some animals. It enables thinking about oneself, remembering the past, and planning for the future. Recognizing oneself in a mirror is a classic sign. This ability supports social coordination, helping individuals function effectively within groups by understanding their own role relative to others.
Recent studies show birds also possess conscious traits. Their brains, though different from mammals, have structures that process information similarly. Birds can distinguish their reflection from others and show subjective experiences, proving consciousness is an ancient, widespread feature not limited to humans or those with a cerebral cortex (大脑皮层).
12. What is the primary function of basic arousal according to the text?
A. To help animals learn complex scientific patterns.
B. To enable individuals to plan for their future lives.
C. To trigger survival responses when danger is detected.
D. To allow organisms to recognize themselves in mirrors.
13. What can be inferred about general alertness from the third paragraph?
A. It prevents organisms from feeling any physical pain.
B. It limits the brain to processing only one signal at a time.
C. It helps organisms understand relationships between different events.
D. It is the most advanced form of consciousness found in all birds.
14. Why does the author mention birds in the last paragraph?
A. To prove that only mammals can feel pain and suffering.
B. To show that consciousness can exist without a cerebral cortex.
C. To explain why birds have better vision than human beings.
D. To suggest that birds are more social than other animal species.
15. Which of the following best describes the development of consciousness?
A. It appeared suddenly in humans and spread to other animals later.
B. It evolved gradually with different forms serving specific purposes.
C. It depends entirely on the size of an animal’s brain structure.
D. It is mainly used for enjoying pleasant moments in daily life.
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You wake up, check your phone, and your to-do list screams for attention. You tiredly push through endless work, driven by coffee, willpower and fear of falling behind — if this sounds familiar, you are not alone. ____16____ Yet here lies a paradox (悖论): pushing harder doesn’t necessarily bring greater success.
____17____ Research shows mental performance drops after about 90 minutes of intense focus. The brain needs cycles of focus and recovery, but many ignore this, leading to burnout. History’s great thinkers understood this. Einstein played violin when stuck; Churchill napped during wartime. These strategic pauses activated the brain’s problem-solving networks.
These findings challenge “addition thinking” — the belief that to achieve more, you must do more. ____18____ For example, cancelling meetings that are not necessary is often more effective than adding more. Work smarter with focused time. Doing less can be the smartest way to do more.
Relying only on willpower is misleading. ____19____ A more sustainable (可持续的) approach is to develop “flow states,” where work feels effortless and efficiency increases. To enter flow: clear distractions, pick tasks that match your skills, and switch between deep work and real breaks.
To put this into practice, review your tasks. Cut those that cost energy but add little value. Group work into focused blocks and protect time for rest. Make it a habit — for example, stop one repeated task that no longer helps. Success isn’t about how much you do. ____20____
A. It leads you to more focused time.
B. Our brain is not for nonstop output.
C. Instead, add more meaningful work.
D. Our society often praises being on the go.
E. It’s about what you choose to concentrate on.
F. Actually, it operates like a muscle that wears out.
G. However, true productivity lies in cutting unnecessary parts.

In October 2020, I decided to ____26____ a solo hiking trip. I went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park to admire the autumn leaves. Four miles in, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d felt so ____27____. I focused my ears on each forest sound and did something I almost never made time for: I listened to my own thoughts.
When spring arrived, I decided to ____28____ another solo sport: kayaking (皮划艇). My chest, initially ____29____ by nerves, was bursting with happiness when I finally reached the middle of the river. The _____30_____ from anxiety to joy was incredible.
Since that first solo hike, adventuring alone has become like _____31_____ for my soul. It has also pushed me to go beyond my comfort zone and to _____32_____ new people.

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。
“What is your name? ” is a question most frequently asked when people meet for the first time. But for me, it was the first challenge I encountered as an international student in Ireland.
The pronunciation system of the Chinese language is quite different from that of English. For native speakers of English, some Chinese words are rather difficult to pronounce. My given name Qiuyu (秋雨), for instance, happened to be a great challenge for many of them. Every time I gave a self-introduction, I had to explain how to pronounce my name at least five times, yet they still could not say it the way I did.
Once in a lecture, the professor tried repeating my name after me over and over in front of thirty classmates. I really did not know whether I should continue correcting him or simply drop the matter. I feared that my classmates might grow tired of my efforts or even lose patience with me. After all, I did care about how others would think of me. I realized that if I didn’t stop, the entire lecture would be ruined. “It’s okay, professor,” I shrugged (耸肩). The awkward moment ended with the class erupting into laughter. I forced a smile, unsure how to respond further.
After that incident, I stopped acting as a “Chinese teacher.” Instead of correcting others when they were struggling to pronounce my name, I just smiled and nodded approvingly. This approach spared me the discomfort of having to over-explain. However, I soon found that by doing so, I might be losing something more important: the opportunity to share a small part of my cultural identity.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；

【答案】A Warm Visit to Stray Animal Shelter
Last Thursday, Senior Two student volunteers from our school visited a nearby stray animals shelter for the “Warm Companionship” activity. After they arrived, they fed the animals, cleaned their living areas, and played with them happily.
The shelter staff were deeply moved and expressed sincere gratitude. They praised the students not only for the kindness that they had shown to every helpless creature, but also for the strong sense of responsibility.
This meaningful activity not only brought warmth to the stray animals but also raised students’ awareness of caring for animals.
【答案】One possible version:
In a class discussion, I was invited to explain the meaning of my name. Standing up, I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. “My name, Qiuyu, combines the characters for autumn and rain in Chinese,” I began, my voice steady. “Autumn represents harvest and maturity, while rain symbolizes nourishment and growth. Together, they embody a time of abundance and renewal.” As I spoke, I noticed the rapt attention of my classmates, their eyes reflecting curiosity and respect. It was a moment of connection, a bridge built between cultures through the simple act of sharing my name.
Many of my classmates got interested and came up to me after class. They surrounded me, their questions pouring out like a stream. “What other names have beautiful meanings in Chinese?” “Can you teach us how to write our names in Chinese characters?” I smiled, feeling a warmth spread through me. I took out a piece of paper and began to sketch out characters, explaining each stroke and its significance. Through this interaction, I realized that by embracing my cultural identity, I was not only preserving my heritage but also enriching the lives of those around me. It was a small yet meaningful step towards fostering cultural understanding and appreciation.
