第一节(共11小题;每小题2.5分,满分27.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The room went silent as soon as Richard Siken, a big-name poet, walked in. He was well-known among those of us currently enrolled in the University of Arizona’s MFA program — the same program Siken had graduated from. His poems would show up after they were printed and sent out in classrooms in the Modern Languages building. Many of us would teach his work to our English 301 students.
Earlier this year, I met Siken at Casa Video. A knee injury involving one of the four dogs he lives with had forced Siken to use a walker. We nodded to each other as he walked unsteadily in. I stepped forward to help him pull out a chair, and once he’d settled in, we chatted about his new, highly awaited third collection, now shortlisted for the National Book Award for Poetry. It comes a decade after his second collection, which itself came a decade after his first book. Siken had a stroke (中风) in the spring of 2019, an experience that informs every page of the new collection.
Siken worked as a care worker in the mid-to-late 1990s, with patients dealing with serious mental illness. He would work long, overnight weekend shifts at behavioral health facilities so that he could read and write poetry during the week. As he wrote and revised his first book over 15 years, he left social work for restaurant jobs in downtown Tucson. There was one job opportunity in 1998 that led him to move to New York, but he returned to Tucson less than a year later, working at a local bar.
For Siken, poetry is also service. He likes poetry because it’s clear and fast, and he tries to be as economical and precise as he can in his writing. Through health challenges,career shifts, and life changes, Siken has stayed committed to creation, turning his experiences into work that connects with readers.
1. What do we know about Siken from paragraph 2
A. He only wrote about social events.
B. He gave up public appearances.
C. He wrote poetry in memory of his dogs.
D. He finished his 3 collections in over 20 years.
2. Why does the author mention Siken’s career changes
A. To show his job as a care worker was challenging.
B. To prove Siken struggled to find secure employment.
C. To highlight Siken’s love for poetry remained unchanged.
D. To prove Siken had to work tirelessly to make a living.
3. Which of the following words can best describe Siken
A. Silent and loving. B. Humorous and hard-working.
C. Selfless and patient. D. Strong-willed and devoted.
B
Franklin D. Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.”
Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction.
Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’ re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice.
When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world,we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.”
4. Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually
A. To test their kindness. B. To measure their social politeness.
C. To reveal their passive listening. D. To avoid exchanging small talk.
5. What leads to strong interpersonal connections
A. Talking more to show you care.
B. Finding common topics to discuss.
C. Sharing your own experiences regularly.
D. Giving others time to express themselves.
6. What does the author suggest about silence in conversation
A. It is a sign of disinterest.
B. It allows thoughts to develop.
C. It means the talk is about to end.
D. It brings thoughtful answers to questions.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. The importance and skills of listening.
B. The reasons for failing to listen effectively.
C. Ways to improve communication ability.
D. Tips on developing the ability to make small talk.
C
In times of intense stress, people sometimes let it out with a scream and a new study suggests that plants might do the same. Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel has found that plants let out ultrasonic (超声的) screams when damaged or stressed by drought.
The noises, falling within a range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, are too high-frequency for humans to hear, but other plants and some animals perceive them. Insects might be listening for sounds from stressed plants to assess their condition before laying eggs on their leaves. A moth (蛾) may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed.
Researchers attached recording devices directly to plants to listen for secret sounds inside their stems (茎). In drought, air bubbles formed, burst and caused vibrations (振动) within the tissue that normally carries water up the plants’ stems. The process was picked up by the attached recording devices, but researchers wanted to know if any plant sounds could travel through the air.
So the team placed microphones 10 centimetres from stressed-out tomato and tobacco plants. They subjected one set of crops to drought and another to physical damage. A third group was untouched.
The microphones did pick up distinct sounds. On average, drought-stressed tomato plants let out about 35 ultrasonic screams per hour, while those with cut stems made about 25. Drought-stressed tobacco plants let out about 11 screams per hour, and cut crops made about 15 sounds in the same time. The average number of sounds from untouched plants fell below one per hour.
The researchers also attempted to identify each plant group just based on its screams. Using a type of artificial intelligence calculations, the team picked out distinct features in each set of sounds and successfully sorted their plants into three kinds: “dry, cut or untouched.”
If it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation, farmers might be able to hear these stress signals too. In future, enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction”, which will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.
8. The moth is mentioned in paragraph 2 to show __________.
A. moths need enough water when laying eggs
B. some animals are able to hear plants scream
C. some insects are picky about their surroundings
D. wildlife species depend on each other when stressed
9. What can we learn from the research
A. Plants’ sounds couldn’t be detected by humans.
B. Plants can be grouped according to their features.
C. Plants’ screams are related to stress types in a way.
D. Air bubbles contribute to the lack of water in plants.
10. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. Supporting evidence for the research result.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Plants’ Vibrations: Way to React to Stress
B. Stress Signals: Secret Newly Found in Plants
C. Green Screams: Plants Make Noises When Stressed
D. Ultrasonic Screams: Discovery Opens a New Chapter

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。
I’ve been studying attention for several years, and this statement — “The quality of your attention determines the quality of your life” — has become the entire thesis (核心论点) for my practice of attentioneering. ____12____
Your attention is a filter (过滤器). Every second you’re hit with information, thoughts and feelings. What you focus on shapes your behaviour. That’s why two people in the same room, sharing the same events, can have different days: one notices problems while the other sees opportunities. It’s the same external reality, but very different internal experience.
I’ve said this before too: ____13____ This basic ability — the capacity to direct and maintain your attention—is just what enables deep reading, attentive listening, and effective learning.
William James wrote way back in 1890, “My experience is what I agree to attend to.” Science now shows people who can keep focus report higher life satisfaction and achievement.
So, attention matters — critically. ____14____ So are you out of luck No. The other half of the attentioneering thesis is that attention is a skill that can be trained. Every time you bring your wandering mind back to the present task, you’re doing a mental repetition. Every time you fight the pull of a distraction, you’re building strength.
In a world where big tech is spending billions of dollars to break down your attention, developing this skill gives you an advantage. ____15____ While others are controlled by their desires, you can choose your focus. While AI is replacing your colleagues, you’re doing important creative work that your boss values and can’t be replaced.
____16____ How you develop it and where you invest it determines not just what you achieve, but who you become and how you experience being alive.
A. Here’s why I believe it’s true.
B. The bad news is that yours is terrible.
C. Everything else becomes background noise.
D. What you focus on becomes the only reality.
E. Your attention is the most valuable resource you have.
F. Concentration really is the basis of everything meaningful.
G. While everyone else is drowning in shallow engagement, you can go deep.

43. 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。
With three little babies, I never took a break, completely ignoring any self-care. When I was too tired to make myself dinner, I’d just eat the kids’ leftover cereal (麦片粥). I thought this was a great plan to lose some weight and called it the “Cereal for Diet.” Back then,I knew nothing about nutrition. Of course, the Cereal for Diet failed, as did all my other attempts.
One day, after cleaning up all the mess my kids had made, I went out for a walk. I passed a gym. I looked away.Healthy people went there, but this was not me. While turning away,I saw an ad for a six-month fitness challenge. I continued my fast walk in the opposite direction, but that sign just stayed on my mind.
I still remember what finally motivated me to sign up for the challenge. It was a ten-minute period in which my son threw his spaghetti plate straight up, sending noodles and sauce flying everywhere. As soon as my husband got home,I said, “You’re in charge.”
I made a beeline for the gym, marched straight in and said, “Fix me.” And I was assigned a young and fit trainer, Emily. She asked what my goals were for the six-month challenge. At that moment, I was speechless. Noticing my embarrassment, Emily just handed me the heaviest weights I had in my life and said, “Okay, so in six months you will compete in a body-building show.” I tried explaining, “No, I don’t want to do a show. That sounds scary.” She ignored my fear, and we jumped into strict workouts and nutrition planning.
Over the next six months, Emily forced me to focus on myself — my wants and my needs. I learned to see food as strength and sweat as progress. I learned how to fuel my body instead of starving it, balancing proteins, carbs, and fats. Emily pushed me past my limits, correcting my form, timing my breaks, and cheering me on when I wanted to quit. I improved every day in the gym.

My Favorite Traditional Chinese Food
As a Chinese, I take pride in our rich and diverse food culture. Among the many delicious dishes, Jiaozi, also known as dumplings, is my favorite.
Jiaozi is made with dough skin and a variety of fillings, such as meat, vegetables, and seafood. Boiled, steamed, or fried, it is often served during festivals and family gatherings. With its shape resembling ancient Chinese currency, Jiaozi symbolizes wealth and good luck in Chinese culture.
Unique in taste and cultural significance, Jiaozi is a must-try that not only satisfies your stomach but also offers a glimpse into our profound and fascinating culture.
【答案】
One day, Emily handed me an application form. “You’re ready,” she said with a confident smile. It was for a local body-building show, the very thing I’d once feared. My heart raced as I looked at the form, but then I thought of all the progress I'd made. I took a deep breath and filled it out, determined to face my fear. I knew this was a chance to prove to myself that I could achieve something I never thought possible.
Soon, I jumped into weeks of preparation. Every day, I spent hours in the gym, following Emily’s strict workout plan. I also paid close attention to my diet, making sure I got the right nutrients. As the show day drew near, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. But with Emily’s constant encouragement and support, I felt more and more confident. Finally, the big day arrived, and I stepped onto the stage, ready to show the world what I’d accomplished.
