阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
Hiking with Kids
When you invite kids for a hike, you’ll have to spend extra time getting ready. You’ll be taking care of the needs of at least one more person, and that means extra jackets, dry socks, and hats. You may wonder, “Is this hike worth all of the time it takes to prepare ”
·Hiking with kids is fun.
You’ll remember how cool tiny bugs are, how fun it is to get muddy, and how beautiful birds, rocks, and butterflies can be.
·Walking in nature is healthy.
Many studies measure the health benefits of spending time in nature. Some research shows that 5 minutes of walking in nature improves mood. Another benefit is improved mental functions.
What to do on a hike
Depending on the age of the kids, here are some ideas to keep you on track in case young hikers get tired or hungry.
·Listen. Natural areas host many wonderful sounds. You can try to identify bird calls or simply count different natural noises, from water flowing to bees buzzing. If the kids are a little older, they can try to record cool sounds and make new ringtones for their phones.
·Observe and record. Keep a list of animals or plants, or you can take photos. The kids can keep a journal where they record hikes they take and write down memories, descriptions, or stories.
·Teach life skills. You can show kids how to read a map or predict a storm. Use a bug bite as an opportunity to teach basic first aid.
If you make the effort to include kids on your next hike, you may have some challenges on the trail, but the long-term benefits outweigh them.

In a southern California school district, each child has a laptop. They are expected to use web-based word processors before they know how to type. Though they are also practicing handwriting, they aren’t coming home with spelling lists or tests.
“Over the next couple of years, I have started to understand. The school isn’t explicitly teaching spelling in the way that I understand,” said Jodi Carreon, a stay-at-home parent. By the time her son reached the end of elementary school, Carreon decided to give him spelling tutoring. She knew letting him rely on error-correcting technologies like autocorrect and spellcheck would only mask the problem.
So she downloaded spelling lists from the Internet and reviewed words with her child every week. “I’m not a teacher,” she said. “I don’t exactly know the proper way to do this. I would help my child as best as I could, based on the rules I remember.”
What Carreon doesn’t know then is that many teachers no longer understand how to effectively teach spelling, and don’t have high-quality curriculum to help students. This may surprise parents who attended elementary school in the 1980s and likely became proficient spellers thanks to formalized spelling instruction.
Complicating matters are error-correcting technologies, which parents themselves might favor. But Dr J. Richard Gentry, an education researcher, says that while such tools can be helpful later in a child’s schooling, students must learn the vital skill of spelling or they may risk falling behind academically. He stresses that parents need to begin paying close attention to their child’s spelling toward the end of first grade and continue monitoring it throughout elementary school.
Carreon has to cobble together at-home spelling resources for her child. She wishes parents in her position could easily find spelling resources and support. In addition to at-home studying with her child, she’s paid for tutors and writing courses for her child. “We’re in a position to be able to do this,” she said. “But not all families are.”
4. Why did Carreon start teaching her son
A．To increase his self-confidence.
B．To meet his school’s requirements.
C．To prepare him for a spelling test.
D．To improve his spelling ability.
5. Why does the author mention parents attending elementary school in the 1980s
A．To compare different academic subjects.
B．To recall their pleasant school memories.
C．To highlight changes in teaching approaches.
D．To prove their superior learning competence.
6. What does Gentry advise parents to do
A．Employ error-correcting tools.
B．Keep track of children’s spelling.
C．Ask children’s teachers for help.
D．Enhance their own spelling skills.
7. What is Carreon’s concern about spelling education
A．Children’s low motivation.
B．Parents’ unwillingness to engage.
C．Inequality in resource access.
D．Shortage of professional tutors.
C
From ancient philosophers to modern-day scientists, the pursuit of knowledge has been seen as inherently good. But what if that assumption is wrong A new study presents an idea that’s shaking up how we think about scientific progress.
Economists Kaushik Basu of Cornell University and J rgen Weibull of the Stockholm School of Economics have uncovered a phenomenon where increased understanding of a problem can reduce overall welfare. “Greater knowledge is always an advantage for a rational (理性的) individual,” the researchers note. “However, for a group of rational individuals, greater knowledge can backfire.”
To understand this concept, consider a simplified example. Imagine a society where everyone wears masks during the flu season because they know it generally reduces transmission. Overall, this leads to fewer illnesses and better public health. Now scientists discover a way to precisely measure the contagiousness (传染性) of different flu strains each day. Armed with this new knowledge, people may only wear masks on the most contagious days. While this seems rational for each individual, the result is that mask-wearing declines overall and more people get sick in the end.
The researchers also demonstrate this effect using game theory — mathematical models of strategic interactions between rational decision-makers. They show how in certain types of “games” or scenarios, players with more knowledge about the situation will make choices that leave everyone worse off compared to when they had less information.
While the study paints a potentially dark picture, the researchers also offer hope. They point out that cultivating stronger social norms and moral motivations could help match individual and collective interests. By encouraging people to consider the greater good, not just their own interests, we might be able to employ the power of knowledge without falling victim to its dangers, leading to a brighter world for all.
As we continue to push the boundaries of human understanding, this work serves as a timely reminder that information isn’t always benign. Managing the power of knowledge responsibly may be one of the challenges of our information age, which we must meet to ensure that our quest for knowledge truly brings positive collective outcomes.
8. What does the new study challenge
A．The belief that social cooperation is always necessary.
B．The idea that more knowledge is universally beneficial.
C．The reliability of scientific findings.
D．The significance of individual choices.
9. What does the mask example illustrate
A．The public should follow health regulations.
B．Science can help people make sensible decisions.
C．Rational individual choices may harm groups.
D．Personal safety depends on secure technology.
10. What do the researchers recommend to ensure a better world
A．Strengthening shared values.
B．Promoting scientific exploration.
C．Enhancing personal judgement.
D．Expanding information resources.
11. What does the underlined word “benign” in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Available. B．Relevant. C．Accurate. D．Harmless.
D
The Earth’s oceans were hotter in 2025 than in any other year since modern measurements began, marking a dangerous new record. New analysis published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences on Friday found that the upper 2,000 meters of the ocean absorbed a record-setting amount of energy more than in 2024 — equal to roughly 37 times more energy than the world consumed in 2023.
The study examined ocean heat content, which measures how much excess heat energy the world’s oceans store over time. Tracking ocean temperatures is a key way scientists monitor long-term climate change. That’s because our oceans play a key role in regulating the impact of global carbon emissions in our atmosphere — absorbing about 90% of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases over the past century.
Researchers also noted that global average sea-surface temperatures in 2025 were the third highest on record and remained about 0.5 °C above the 1981 — 2010 average. Some areas are warming faster — the warmest areas included the South Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans, and the Southern Ocean.
As oceans get hotter, a series of climate impacts are being released. Warmer oceans contribute to rising sea levels and fuel more extreme weather. This includes increasing the intensity of hurricanes while decreasing the speed at which they travel — meaning they remain longer in one location when they make landfall, potentially leaving more destruction in their wake. We’re already seeing the impacts — last year was only the second year in recorded history in which at least three Category 5 hurricanes formed in the Atlantic basin. Rising ocean temperatures also contribute to the loss of coral reefs (珊瑚礁), which help support fisheries, and protect coastlines from rising sea levels. A 2025 report found that warm-water coral reefs are passing their tipping point, with 80% experiencing unprecedented heat waves, bleaching events, and dieback.
Today’s report raises alarm bells about the climate impacts the world stands to face due to ocean warming. The authors note that, without global efforts to reduce emissions, temperatures will only continue to rise.
12. How does the author introduce the issue in paragraph 1
A．By quoting expert opinions.
B．By presenting key statistics.
C．By describing a natural scene.
D．By giving historical background.
13. What role do the oceans play
A．Releasing greenhouse gases.
B．Driving global fishing patterns.
C．Regulating the global climate system.
D．Consuming most human-produced energy.
14. What does paragraph 4 suggest about landfalling hurricanes
A．Shorter season, less rain.
B．Longer stay, greater harm.
C．Faster travel, wider spread.
D．Fewer storms, weaker winds.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A．Saving Coral Reefs from Extinction
B．The Science of Hurricane Formation
C．New Methods for Climate Monitoring
D．A Record-Breaking Year for Ocean Heat

How to Exercise for Better Sleep
Sleep and exercise work together like parts of a machine. 16 Quality sleep supports recovery, while exercise releases useful brain chemicals, lowers stress and can help you fall asleep faster.
17 For those battling insomnia (失眠), the rules can be different. People with insomnia — poor sleep at least three nights a week for over three months — are more sensitive to exercise. “People with severe insomnia tend to have a very active stress system,” said Dr Christopher Kline at the University of Pittsburgh. Stressors tend to have an exaggerated response in the body, and recovery from the physical demands of exercise may be slower.
After a very hard workout, you might expect to crash, but “you can’t exercise yourself to sleep,” said Dr Kelly Baron at the University of Utah. Moderate activities, like walking, jogging or cycling, are most often linked with better sleep. 18 Kevin Morgan at Loughborough University noted that even top athletes can sleep badly.
Exercise is not recommended near bedtime. Overworked muscles can keep you awake. Overtraining is another risk: A study linked more than six intense sessions a week with trouble falling asleep. Timing matters too: A study found activity after 8 pm was associated with less sleep. 19
Researchers have not set one perfect routine, but a large-scale analysis suggested moderate aerobic exercise (有氧运动) plus light strength training, mind-body practices (like yoga or tai chi) and standard insomnia treatment. 20 Dr Cheri D. Mah at the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center warned that big training changes can make insomnia worse, so check intensity, frequency and timing. Dr Kline recommended exercising at the same time each day to support your body clock.
A．Walking every day is good for sleep.
B．Morning exercise improves sleep quality.
C．This combination can significantly improve sleep.
D．When one turns smoothly, the other often follows.
E．Just as the benefits go hand-in-hand, so do the disadvantages.
F．Intense exercise ending within one hour of bed may disrupt sleep.
G．High-intensity work, like a half-marathon, can delay falling asleep.

Following that summer, my mother would ask, “Do you still know them ” while pointing the 25 at my cousins and me.

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Pottery fragments (陶器碎片) found in a south China cave have been confirmed to be 20,000 years old, making them the oldest 36 (know) pottery in the world. The findings appear in the journal Science. This finding pushes 37 emergence of pottery back to the last ice age. It disproves old theories that pottery was invented only about 10,000 years ago, when humans became farmers. Gideon Shelach of the Hebrew University wrote in Science that such research is key to 38 (understand) human development long before agricultural societies began.
Wu Xiaohong, a Peking University professor and lead author of the study, said her team was very excited. The fragments 39 (discover) in the Xianrendong cave in Jiangxi Province. Some researchers had 40 (early) estimated they could be 20,000 years old, but there were doubts. “We thought it would be impossible because the 41 (convention) theory was that pottery was invented following the shift 42 agriculture,” Wu said.
Her research group, 43 included experts from Harvard and Boston universities, was able to 44 (precise) calculate the age by 2009. The key was ensuring the dated samples were from the same period as the pottery. Scientists took samples like bones and charcoal from above and below the fragments. The cave’s sediments (沉积物) had built up without 45 (disturb), keeping the time order clear. Wu said this finding helped them understand the development of early human civilization.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，词数150左右。
Every Saturday morning, high schoolmates Michel and Robert cycled to the Sunshine Market to buy fresh fruit for their families. They enjoyed the market atmosphere — the shouts of sellers, the colorful piles of vegetables, and the smell of fruits. Michel, who loved biology, often pointed out different types of local produce, while Robert was better at bargaining for the best prices.
One Saturday morning, they were searching for ripe peaches when Robert touched Michel. “Look over there, near the back fence,” he whispered. A man in a worn-out jacket stood somewhat apart from the regular fruit stalls. At his feet was a small, cardboard box, not filled with fruits, but with something that might be live animals. Filled with curiosity, the boys moved closer, pretending to examine some nearby apples.
Inside the box, several small, brown creatures crowded together, their backs trembling. They were hedgehogs (刺猬)! Michel’s heart sank. He recognized them from a wildlife documentary; they were a protected species in their country, often victims of the illegal pet trade because people found them attractive. The man was speaking quietly to a customer, gesturing to the box. “Good for kids. Cool pets,” they heard him say.
The boys moved away, their fruit forgotten. “He can’t sell those animals. It’s illegal,” Michel whispered, anger rising in his voice. Robert felt uneasy and said, “What can we do We’re helpless.” They debated quickly. They could ignore it and walk away. They could confront the man directly, but that seemed risky and unlikely to work. Michel remembered a speech at school about reporting wildlife crime. “The market must have a management office,” he suggested. “They have authority here.” Robert agreed it was the safest and workable plan. The challenge was finding the office without the seller noticing them and perhaps disappearing with the hedgehogs. They needed to act quickly. Michel took a final look at the fearful animals in the box and made a decision.
Michel told Robert to watch the man as he went to find the market office.

Michel told Robert to watch the man as he went to find the market office. Robert nodded and wandered around casually, keeping an eye on the illegal seller all the time. Meanwhile, Michel rushed through the crowds and soon found the market management office. He explained the whole situation to the guards anxiously. Learning about the illegal sale of protected hedgehogs, the guards immediately set off with Michel.
Following Michel, the two market guards approached the seller. The man was shocked and tried to deny everything at first. But after seeing the hedgehogs in the box, he had to admit his wrongdoing. The guards criticized him severely and took away the hedgehogs. Later, the little creatures were sent to a wildlife rescue center. Michel and Robert felt proud and joyful, knowing they had protected these lovely animals.
