Driving home, everyone was talking about their gifts in high spirits except the youngest daughter, Ginger. Feeling puzzled, Melissa asked what she had bought for Christmas. “Nothing.” Ginger whispered, lowering her head. Other kids stopped talking and turned to Ginger. “Are you kidding Did you lose your money ” They stared at the little girl, their faces lighting up with surprise. Ginger shook her head and said that she gave the bill to a man who was begging outside the supermarket. The man in rags was standing in cold weather. There was no doubt that he was homeless and had a hard time.
“We have so much, but the homeless man doesn't have anything,” Ginger explained. “I am willing to share my happiness with him. I hope he can buy warm clothes or treat himself to a good dinner.” She added, with eyes shining with excitement. Hearing her daughters' words, Melissa felt a sense of pride swept through her. “What you did is right, Ginger. You are such a kind child that we are proud of you,” she said. Arriving home, they had a small party and the other kids offered to share their gifts with Ginger. It was the special experience that made the kids realize sharing is important.2025-2026学年河南南阳市唐河县第一高级中学春期高一期中考试英语试卷

When an editor called to ask if I could photograph a story about fireflies in Mexico. I didn’t check my schedule before I said yes. I’d seen these insects light up the forests in Tlaxcala once before, and I jumped at the chance to go back.
While studying, I began exploring Mexico, crossing the country several times by bus. Now I work as a photojournalist in Mexico and along the border, documenting desperate situations that face everyday Mexicans. Though necessary and important, news stories don’t reflect the Mexico that I fell for and that is home to so many people I love. A task focused on the country’s natural beauty was a welcome reprieve for me.
I had three nights to film the magical scene in the forest. According to our guides, visitors are usually not allowed to photograph the fireflies because the presence of artificial light from electronics can affect their habits. As I started shooting, I adjusted my exposures constantly to account for the fading light. In order to get the composition that I wanted, I placed my tripod (三脚架) on a steep, rocky path and had to steady it during the long exposures. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal, but the fireflies were very interested in the camera and, by extension, in me. I stood completely still while they were all over me-my arms, my hair, my face. From what I observed, peak (高峰时期的) firefly presence lasts for only about 20 minutes each night, so I had time for just a few tries.
On the last night everything came together. The weather cooperated. I had improved my method for focusing and composing photos in the dark with quick flashes from a powerful flashlight—and I’d grown accustomed to insects on my face.
I was rewarded with the image you see here. Each dot of light is one of several bursts that a firefly makes as it travels within a 30- second exposure. You can track the insects’ paths: Some make small circles, like those in the bottom center of the frame, while others move steadily in one direction or another.
4. How did the author feel about the editor’s request
A. Nervous B. Delighted C. Confused D. Regretful
5. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “reprieve” in paragraph 2

C. Communicate constantly with the guides.
D. Find the suitable spot and time to take photos.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell findings about fireflies. B. To share the story behind a photo.
C. To record a travelling experience. D. To show the author’s working conditions.
C
Many people, especially the elderly, suffer from abnormal sleep. In particular, the deep sleep phases become shorter and shallower with age.
Researchers have shown that the brain waves characterizing deep sleep, so-called slow waves, can be improved by playing precisely timed sounds through earphones while sleeping. While this works well in the laboratory under controlled conditions, there has been no at-home solution that can be used for a time longer than just one night.
As part of the SleepLoop project, researchers have developed a mobile system that can be used at home and aims to promote deep sleep through auditory(听觉的) brain stimulation.
The SleepLoop system consists of a headband that is put on at bedtime and worn throughout the night. This headband contains electrodes(电极) and a microchip that can constantly measure the brain activity of the sleeping person. As soon as the sleeping person shows slow waves in the brain activity, the system will set off a short auditory signal. This helps synchronize(使……同步) the neuronal cells and enhance the slow waves. What makes the solution unique is that the sleeping person is not consciously aware of this sound during deep sleep.
It’s the first time that the researchers, led by Caroline Lustenberger, have conducted a clinical study with this device. The study involved equipping participants, between 60 and 80 years old, with the SleepLoop system, which they were required to operate in their own homes. The system is designed to function independently even for users with little technical experience. “This worked very well. We had surprisingly little data loss and the participants rated the device as user-friendly,” says Lustenberger.
The participants wore the device every night for a total of four weeks. The results showed it was indeed possible to enhance the slow waves through auditory signals during deep sleep in most participants. However, individual differences were considerable, which can be used to better predict how a given individual will respond to the auditory stimulus. The company ToSoo AG is currently working on that so that it can be competitive once it comes onto the clinical market. It’s already clear that it’ll not be freely available, but only via a doctor’s prescription. “Use of the device must be medically indicated,” a researcher says.
8. What did researchers of the SleepLoop project try to work out
A. How to avoid deep sleep phases decreasing with age.
B. How to distinguish slow waves from other brain waves.
C. How to accurately create home sleep conditions in the laboratory.
D. How to continuously improve deep sleep by playing sounds at home.
9. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The working principle of the SleepLoop system.
B. The advantages of the Sleep Loop system.
C. The brain activity during deep sleep.
D. The features of brain waves.
10. What can we learn about the clinical study
A. It lasted longer than previous clinical studies.
B. It proves the new device is easy to operate.
C. It collected little data due to the participants’ advanced ages.
D. It required the participants to master basic technical knowledge.
11. What task will Tosoo AG tackle before making the device enter the clinical market
A. Attracting more investments.
B. Reducing the cost of the device.
C. Perfecting the device’s performance.
D. Getting medical officials’ permission.
D
Massive heat waves and droughts are already becoming a threat to farmers. Over the next three decades, California’s San Joaquin Valley alone could lose up to 535,000 acres of farmland as a result of the shortage of water supplies.
Jennifer Brophy, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford, is working on methods she hopes will be used to change commercial plant species so they can survive severe conditions. She is developing new genetic engineering techniques that can help plants grow in a variety of different conditions. By changing the genome (基因组) of both commercial crops and soil bacteria, she thinks it may be possible to help plants survive droughts.
To make plants respond to extreme climate, Brophy is building what she calls “genetic circuits (基因回路).” In addition to changing the genes within plant cells, this method also changes how and when those genes are activated (激活). If the plant senses a specific sugar, it can express one protein; if it senses another signal, it’ll express a different protein, kicking off an entirely separate chain of events. If both signals are there, the plant may be able to express something else entirely. “Using circuits, you can have plants respond in new ways to all these different inputs,” she says.
Humans can learn from the weather forecast whether it’s going to be really hot or really dry in the next couple of weeks so that we can plan accordingly. “A plant doesn’t necessarily know what’s coming. It just knows if it’s hot or mild right now,” says Brophy. This can lead to problems when weather becomes unstable. A plant that usually flowers in spring may flower in winter if there are a few unseasonably warm days. When temperatures fall again, the flowers die and ruin a year of crops. “It’d be great to be able to communicate with plants to tell them, ‘hey, you should wait on that flowering,’” she adds.
Controlling plants’ growth at this level is an exciting prospect, but actually putting it into practice is along way off. At the moment, Brophy is testing the concept in the lab using a small weedy plant called Arabidopsis, trying to figure out how to activate certain genes on command.
12. What problem are farmers faced with according to the text
A. The shortage of strong labour force.
B. The water pollution caused by factories.
C. The pressure of feeding a growing population.
D. The harmful effect of climate change on farming.
13. What is the expected advantage of “genetic circuits”
A. Increasing farmland. B. Controlling plants’ growth.
C. Telling the weather in advance. D. Protecting plants from extreme weather.
14. What do we know about Brophy’s research
A. It is still in its early stages. B. It has been put into practice.
C. It has led to serious problems. D. It is funded by the government.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A. A scientific breakthrough in bioengineering.
B. A victorious battle against global warming.
C. A new type of plant resistant to heat waves.
D. A way to help crops survive severe conditions.

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。
Studies have shown that walking among trees makes us relaxed. ___16___There’s plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.
___17___ Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect.
For the study, researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. ___18___They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.
So exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults’, especially their parents’ behaviors. That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. ___19___
Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. ___20___ What’s more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.
A. It’s so good going for a walk around trees.
B. Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.
C. And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children.
D. Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.
E. They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively.
F. In a new study researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.
G. Researchers will study more about the connection between children’s happiness and nature.
