第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5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
Climate change could have large impacts on food production across the world. Rising temperatures might boost crop production in cold regions but negatively impact production in warmer areas. Wheat and rice — which benefit from more CO2 in the atmosphere — could see growing output, while corn and sorghum (高粱) could see a decline with warmer temperatures.
Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways:
Farmers can change WHAT they plant. This could be an entirely different type of crop: corn instead of wheat. Or a different variety of a specific crop. FOUR KEY WAYS Farmers can change WHERE crops are planted. If temperatures rise in fall, crop production can shift north or southwards towards more suitable temperatures.
Farmers can change HOW crops are managed. Giving crops the right amount of water, nutrition, and protection from insects and disease can help reduce some impacts of climate change. Farmers can change WHEN they plant. Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year, depending on when spring arrives. Adjusting planting dates requires no additional cost or work.
A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods — changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing both of them. The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn, rice, sorghum, soybean (大豆) and wheat.
These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries. But, of course, we don't only care about crop production at the global level. If farmers in particular regions — especially those that are most food-insecure — cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem. So there is more we can do in the future.
21. What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour
A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. HOW. D. WHEN.
22. Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties
A. Rice. B. Corn. C. Sorghum. D. Wheat.
23. What should be done in the future
A. To adopt the three methods. B. To help the farmers in need.
C. To focus on crop production. D. To move to colder regions.
B
August Lamm, a writer, artist and former art influencer, hasn’t owned a smartphone since 2022. Her journey to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures of her art online and got hundreds of thousands of followers. “Everything that I shared online — all these pictures and words about my love life, my vacations or my house — was feeding into my business, helping to generate sales,” Lamm said. Finally, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point.
At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and avoid using it for a whole day, which, she said, made life inconvenient for everyone around her. It took her about a year to quit her smartphone and fully devote herself to the dumbphone lifestyle, which offers only basic calling and texting.
Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to deal with without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and surfing social media. In 2025, these smartphones function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions to the challenges. “You work out these problems by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can offer you an alternative when you can’t use parking meter (停车收费表), and a lot of the time they will.”
When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an influencer online. That’s because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and hours crafting posts. “When I stopped posting, I found out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers,” she said. “If I hadn’t spent thousands of hours trying to build a huge following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, taking part in exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not placed online popularity above creative development.”
24. What made August Lamm decide to give up the smartphone
A. Her addiction to the smartphone.
B. The stress from social networking.
C. Her pressure from the busy college life.
D. Her concern over the downsides of technology.
25. Why does the author mention the situations in 2025 in paragraph 3
A. To explain why smartphones are developing very fast.
B. To advise people to depend less on modern technology.
C. To show the wide use of virtual wallets and health trackers.
D. To stress the important roles smartphones play in daily life.
26. How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text
A. Confident and demanding.
B. Creative and ambitious.
C. Determined and adaptable.
D. Generous and efficient.
27. What message does August Lamm want to express in the last paragraph
A. Social media do more harm than good.
B. Dumbphones are making a comeback.
C. Use smartphones only when necessary.
D. One can be less dependent on social media.
C
Historically, the worker who worked the most hours was widely seen as an organization’s most valuable employee. But that is no longer true: as AI promises to transform how we work, and the four-day-workweek movement gains steam, it is time to admit once and for all that working more does not make you more productive.
In fact, many workers could dutifully keep themselves busy for an entire day without doing anything of real value, instead answering pointless emails and attending unnecessary meetings. Meanwhile, many are struggling under the unsustainable consequences of applying an industrial-era measure of productivity — namely, dividing output by hours — to our modern knowledge economy. As a result, workers are under constant pressure to relinquish their rightfully earned time to prove their commitment.
Those who finish their tasks more quickly are typically rewarded with more work to fill the hours they’ve saved, in what is sometimes referred to as “performance punishment.” A co-worker who works through evenings, weekends, or lunch breaks to complete the same workload, meanwhile, is often more likely to be praised or even promoted for their perceived commitment. This dynamic ultimately creates more pressure to look busy than to deliver value, which is getting in the way of actually getting work done and holding back organizational productivity while wearing down workers’ well-being.
So it is time for us to be smarter about how we work. That is ultimately what the four-day-workweek movement seeks to inspire. Instead of just giving everyone an extra vacation day each week, when positioned as a performance-based motivator, the four-day workweek becomes a wake-up call to refocus our time and energy at work on the things that really matter to the business.
In today’s knowledge economy and tomorrow’s AI reality, the most successful individuals, organizations, and nations won’t be those that work the most hours, but those that are the most effective at making their working hours count.
28. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By listing AI-driven changes in work.
B. By challenging the hours-productivity link.
C. By describing employee-centered practices.
D. By advocating a short-time working pattern.
29. What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Set aside. B. Count on.
C. Give up. D. Care about.
30. What weakens organizational effectiveness according to paragraph 3
A. Job burnout.
B. Performative busyness.
C. Unfair punishment.
D. Unnoticed commitment.
31. What does the author think of the four-day workweek
A. A reward for efficiency at work.
B. A wake-up call to stay competitive.
C. A push to think smarter about work.
D. A preparation for the uncertain future.
D
Screens are steadily taking over more and more of our life, leading some researchers to worry about the effect of long-term use on older adults' brain. It has been suggested that this might lead to so- called“digital dementia” — that depending on digital technology throughout our life might harm cognitive (认知的) functioning in our later years.
But new research indicates this view doesn’t appear to be true, at least for the “digital pioneer” generation who first routinely used smartphones, computers and the Internet — and who are now reaching the age when cognitive decline often starts to appear.
In a paper published on Monday in Nature Human Behaviour researchers analyzed 57 studies of digital technology use and cognitive function in more than 400,000 older adults across the world. They found that people in the “digital pioneer” generation who engaged more with digital technology did not have higher rates of cognitive decline. In fact, technology use was associated with lower rates of cognitive decline.
One reason some researchers worried about “digital dementia” was previous research that linked television viewing, a passive activity, with negative outcomes such as an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症). “On the surface, most computer or smartphone screentime might seem similarly passive,” says the new paper’s co- author Michael Scullin, a neuroscience researcher at Baylor University. “But for this group of middle-aged and older adults, phones and computers have been used for mentally stimulating activities and for social connections, such as solving puzzles, engaging with the news, chatting with friends, or using reminders and alarms to help with daily activities.”
“This study provides a strong challenge to the widespread fears about ‘digital dementia’ and highlights the potential of technology as a tool for cognitive enrichment,” says Chiara Scarampi, a neuroscientist at the University of Geneva, who was not involved with the study. “‘Digital dementia’ has always felt like a catchy but overstated concept to me,” she adds.“ Cognitive offloading — using tools like reminders or GPS — is not harmful by nature. In fact, it can free up cognitive resources for more complex tasks.”
32. What do we know about the “digital pioneer” generation
A. They are addicted to digital technology. B. They start using digital tools at an old age.
C. They are the first to use digital tools regularly. D. They start suffering from sharp cognitive decline.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The widespread use of digital tools.
B. The analysis of the new research finding.
C. The great complexity of mental activities.
D. The implication of the previous research finding.
34. What is Scarampi’s attitude toward “digital dementia”
A. Approving. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Unclear.
35. What is the main finding of the new research mentioned in the text
A. Digital technology use directly increases the risk of cognitive decline in older adults.
B. Regular tech use may reduce the risk of cognitive decline in seniors.
C. Older adults need more screen time to improve cognitive function.
D. Passive activities are more effective than active tech use for cognitive health.

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。
Have you ever found yourself reciting your grocery list out loud in the supermarket or saying something encouraging to yourself before a big moment If so, you are not alone. Talking to ourselves, either within our heads or out loud, is a common behavior. Psychologists refer to it as “self-talk,” a mental tool like a Swiss army knife. ____36____
Saying something out loud, whether it’s positive or negative, can make the thought that you’re expressing seem more official, or public, than if you merely think about it. ____37____ For them, working through a problem aloud helps them think more clearly and see how things fit together.
Some people report using self-talk to help them calm down in periods of negative mental states. Research, for instance, has found that when people are anxious or stressed, they are more likely to engage in self-talk. ____38____ It is like giving yourself the support a friend would.
____39____ “I really do believe in the power of positive self-talk, at the gym, in the mirror, before a big meeting — all of that,” says Carol Bergman, 52. She does it before she works out with “Come on, you got this!” or with “You look great!” if she needs to hear some kind words about herself from time to time.
In fact, we learn to talk to ourselves in childhood, where it is associated with better performance on tasks and challenging activities. ____40____ As adults, we may return to speaking out loud when mentally or emotionally challenged. In such moments, it serves as an extra tool to help us focus and think and solve problems. So talking to yourself is not being as strange as you think you are.
A. However, we do it less as we grow older.
B. Self-talk also helps people stay motivated.
C. Here are some ways to put it into practice.
D. It’s a superpower that we all naturally possess.
E. It can be useful in many different situations in life.
F. Speaking emotions aloud makes them manageable.
G. Some people use self-talk to sort through a challenge.

Joan excitedly packed her bags for her upcoming trip with her family. They were going to drive from New York to Virginia to visit relatives. She could not wait. She had missed playing with her cousins and talking to her aunt and uncle.
After all of the suitcases had been loaded into the car, Joan’s dad looked to Joan and her mother. “Is everyone ready for our road trip ” They both grinned (露齿而笑) and nodded.
It was going to be quite a long journey, and within a couple of hours Joan had already begun to feel tired. She began to nod off when she noticed that the car began to veer (突然变向) to the side of the road.
Joan’s father got out and walked around the car. He scratched his head, looking confused. Then, he gave a great sigh. He poked his head through the passenger side window. “We have a flat tire,” he said to Joan’s mom.
“Use the spare tire in the trunk. Then we can replace it when we reach Virginia,” she suggested. Joan’s father looked down at his feet sheepishly (羞怯地). “I ... haven’t had the spare tire replaced since the last time we had a flat.”
Her mother seemed frustrated (沮丧), but tried to remain positive. “Maybe we can call a service,” she suggested.
But a quick glance at their cellphones told them that there was no reception in the area. Joan looked at her mother in the front seat, and her father still staring blankly (茫然地) at the flat tire outside. Both of them looked concerned.
Joan began to get worried. No other cars had passed by in a while and it seemed like they were far away from a town center.
Joan looked out the window, wondering if they would have to sleep in the car or if there was any way they could possibly find someone to help them. Would they ever make their way to Virginia Her relatives would surely be worried about them.

【答案】Dear John,
Knowing that you are interested in the longevity noodles I made for my grandmother, I’m happy to share my experience.
In China, longevity noodles symbolize long life and good health, which is why we serve them on birthdays. To make them, mix flour and water to make a dough. Roll it thin and cut into long strips. Boil until cooked. Then serve the noodles in a flavorful soup with vegetables and eggs. This particular experience enlightened me about the value of family. When I saw my grandmother’s smile, I felt a warm sense of contentment. Hope you can try it someday!
Yours
Li Hua
【答案】 When Joan looked out the window, she saw a car approaching. She waved to the driver and shouted loudly. Fortunately, the car stopped, and an old lady got out of the car. She said, “What’s going on, dear ” Joan explained the whole accident in detail. The lady said, “I will go home and ask my husband to help you. He is good at fixing cars.” Joan looked at the lady in disbelief, not believing her husband would come. However, she had no choice. Finally, she watched the old lady’s car slowly disappear at the end of the road.
Joan saw clouds in the sky, and it began to rain. The only thing they could do was to stay in the car. The sky was getting darker, but no one came. Joan was worried. Suddenly, one small shining light popped up, and a man appeared. He said, “I’m here to help you.” “He is the old lady’s husband,” Joan cried, not believing what she saw. He didn’t have to offer help, but he volunteered to come anyway. He quickly replaced the tire, and the car started again. The family thanked the man and went to their relatives’ house. Whenever Joan recalls this experience, she always feels warm and thankful.
