四、阅读理解：本大题共15小题，共15分。
A
Being an astronaut sounds cool，as they can float in zero gravity （重力） and do amazing things in space.However，the weightless environment also brings a lot of trouble.Sadly，astronauts cannot even cry properly to show their feelings.
Although astronauts can produce tears，crying is much more difficult in space.Without gravity，tears do not flow down from the eyes as they do on Earth.Instead，they just stick to the eyes.In 2011，astronaut Andrew Feustel had such an experience during a spacewalk.He said his tears just stayed in his eyes and would not fall off.
Tears stuck in the eyes not only make vision unclear but also cause physical pain.On Earth，tears usually comfort the eyes，but in the dry space environment，sudden wetness from tears brings pain instead of comfort.Feustel even said his right eye hurt badly.To solve this problem，astronauts can wipe tears against their helmets.They can also wait until the tears grow big enough to break free and float around.
In fact，many simple daily activities become hard in space.Astronauts cannot talk directly，eat or drink in normal ways.They cannot even burp （打嗝）， because there is no gravity to keep food in their stomach.According to the UK National Space Center，burping in space may even lead to vomiting（呕吐）.
We often take these small daily things for granted on Earth，but they become big problems in space.After experiencing all these difficulties，only space explorers can truly understand the importance of gravity and sincerely say，"Gravity，you're the best."
26.Why is it difficult for astronauts to cry in space？______
A. Because they cannot produce tears at all.
B. Because tears don't drop from their eyes.
C. Because tears flow downward too quickly.
D. Because the space environment stops sadness.
27.How do astronauts possibly deal with the tears？______
A. They wait for them to dry out.
B. They use a towel to wipe them off.
C. They rub their eyes against their helmet.
D. They shut and open their eyes to make them fall.
28.Why is burping mentioned in paragraph 4？______
A. To explain how astronauts eat and drink in space.
B. To prove that vomiting is common in space travel.
C. To show that astronauts have fun activities in space.
D. To give an example of a difficult daily activity in space.
29.What can we infer from the last paragraph about space explorers？______
A. They regret staying in space for too long.
B. They prefer space because of zero gravity.
C. They think life in space is more dangerous.
D. They value gravity more than ordinary people.
30.Where does the passage probably come from？______
A. A science magazine. B. A research paper.
C. A science fiction novel. D. A travel guidebook.
B
It was late when Matthew Cuthbert arrived home.His sister Marilla was waiting for him.However，she was very surprised when her eyes fell on the strange little figure beside him.Instead of the boy she was expecting，there stood a girl in a stiff，ugly dress，with red hair and bright eyes.
"Matthew Cuthbert，who's that？"she asked."Where is the boy？"
"There wasn't any boy at the station，"said Matthew."There was only her."
"No boy？"Marilla insisted（坚持说） ."But we sent word to Mrs.Spencer to bring a boy!"
The little girl was silent at first，but then she understood what they were saying."You don't want me because I'm not a boy!"she cried，and she began to cry stormily.
"Well，there's no need to cry，"Marilla said，a little more softly."We are not going to send you outside tonight.What's your name？"
"Will you please call me Cordelia？"The girl said eagerly.But after Marilla's questioning，she admitted unwillingly that her real name was Anne Shirley，which she felt unromantic"Cordelia is such a perfectly elegant name.I've always imagined that my name was Cordelia!"
"Nonsense，"said Marilla."Anne is a real good plain name."She then explained，"We need a boy to help Matthew on the farm.A girl is no use to us."
At supper，Anne was too sad to eat.She said she was in"the depths of despair（绝望）."
Later，when Anne was sent to bed，Marilla and Matthew discussed the situation.Marilla was determined that the girl must be sent back.Matthew，however，spoke up unexpectedly."She's a real interesting little thing，"he insisted."We might be some good to her."As Matthew went to bed，Marilla frowned，and upstairs，the lonely child cried herself to sleep.
—Adapted from Anne of Green Gables

After noticing that his keyboard playing calmed his noisy dog，Yuvi Agarwal，a12-year-old boy from Houston，wondered if music could help comfort shelter （收容所）animals，too.So with support from his parents，he founded a nonprofit program Wild Tunes in 2023 to invite musicians to perform at animal shelters.So far，about 100 volunteers of all ages have played at nine shelters in cities including Houston and Denver.
Yuvi explained that music could break through language barriers—even across species.At Denver Animal Shelter，he saw an old dog named Pituca become calm within minutes of his playing，and some animals even fall asleep.In Houston，a rescue dog called Penelope had refused to leave her cage to eat.After Yuvi played，she came out，kissed his face and touched his ears.
Although music's effect on humans is well-studied，its impact on animals remains unclear.Some research shows that classical music may help calm dogs in stressful places like animal shelters.However，experts like Dr.Lori Kogan say the evidence is still limited."We want simple answers，like 'music calms animals'，but it is more nuanced，"said Kogan，adding that many factors matter，such as the environment，the type of music，the volume，and the animal's past experiences.She suggests trying music with your own pet—if it helps your pet relax，that's good.
Even though scientists are still debating，Yuvi believes music can comfort stressed animals.He plans to expand his nonprofit program across the country.Volunteers also benefit because they can play music or sing for a nonjudgmental audience.This helps build their confidence.Yuvi's work shows that music's calming power may work for animals too.
36.What made Yuvi start the program Wild Tunes？______
A. A strong interest in keyboard.
B. A suggestion from his parents.
C. A special experience with his own dog.
D. An invitation from Houston and Denver.
37.What does the example of the rescue dog Penelope show？______
A. The dog loves to play with humans.
B. The dog becomes even sleepier with music.
C. The dog feels relaxed after listening to some music.
D. The dog understands music better than other animals.
38.What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably mean？______
A. Clear B. Complex C. Important D. Surprising
39.How do volunteers benefit from Yuvi's program？______
A. They get well-paid for their performances.
B. They have more chances to play music or sing.
C. They enjoy music's calming effect on themselves.
D. They become more confident by playing without judgement.
40.Which is the best title for the passage？______
A. A music-related job for volunteers
B. A music program for stressed animals
C. A debate over music's effect on animals
D. An opportunity to realise a teenager's dream
