Dr. Jane Goodall is famous for studying chimpanzees, but for my daughter Lydia, it was a different story. What connected Lydia to Goodall was chickens. As a child, Goodall’s job was to collect eggs on her grandmother’s farm. That little duty got her wondering: Where did that egg come from Could she wait long enough to find out If she sat very still, would hens become more comfortable That curiosity shaped her life’s work.
When Lydia was four, she was also in charge of egg collection. She noticed chickens’ feelings—which ones wanted hugs, and which seemed happy to hang out with us. So when Lydia, a fifth grader, picked Dr. Goodall for the subject of her biography project, I wasn’t surprised. But the first sentence of her first paragraph kept causing frustration (沮丧). “Jane Goodall observed things nobody else saw,” she wrote.
The teacher was helpful when giving suggestions for improvement. “What were Dr. Goodall’s scientific findings ” she asked. “Could you please give examples ” My daughter did her best, but the second draft (草稿) was equally unclear. I tried to help. I suggested to my daughter, she could mention some studies, some research, some facts that Dr. Goodall introduced into the world.
That was two years ago. With the news of Dr. Goodall’s passing, I asked my daughter again about that project. “Do you remember why you were so interested in Dr. Goodall ” I asked. “She realized something true that nobody else recognized,” Lydia explained. Now in seventh grade, she continued: “Goodall knew animals had feelings and emotions. She was ready to take a stand for her belief.” Goodall wrote that chimpanzees showed sadness, joy, and anger. It was clear that they deserved names. That idea impressed Lydia most because she had seen the same truth in her own backyard.
Nowadays, Lydia wants to start a Goodall chapter at her school. She learned that ordinary behaviors—like watching chickens or loving a dog—can produce significant results. And sometimes, the simplest truth is the most powerful one.

Many people think dieting is a great way to become healthier. Celebrities (名人) often support this idea. But let’s face it: dieting can also be terrible. It’s not a fun way to cut calories. Being hungry can mess up your mind in many ways. One example is making you “hangry”—that angry feeling you get when you haven’t eaten for too long.
This is a problem that goes much deeper than dieting. In a world where many people struggle to feed themselves, it’s worth remembering that hunger can contribute to inequality. Without enough nutrients and calories, it is hardly surprising that our brains might struggle to develop or function properly. But how does everyday hunger also affect how we think
Hunger often leads to negative emotions and a low mood, which can greatly change how we see the world. If you are in low spirits, you remember negative things more easily, which can make you feel even worse. This idea might be a game changer for people on diets.
Most of us know the feeling: when we are hungry, we can’t stop thinking about chocolate cake, crispy fries, or spicy noodles. Studies show this is very common. Hunger makes us pay more attention to food. This makes sense because the physiological feeling of hunger may make us go out and get food. If it happens, the first step is to stop focusing on what we are doing and start thinking about eating.
Hunger is a powerful signal because it helps us survive. But, as a result, it can also seriously affect our thinking. When we are hungry, we may find it hard to deal with difficult tasks, understand small details, or stay focused. When we feel angry, act without thinking, blame others, or only care about the present time—especially if we don’t realize these feelings are simply caused by hunger—our thinking becomes even more confused.
So being aware of this can be hugely useful. The next time you are angry or low, for example, it may help to ask yourself whether you’re really just hungry. That one small question can pull you back from the edge of a bad decision. Listen to your hunger—and you might just save yourself from a fight that never needed to happen.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
28. The text is intended to ________
A．explain a new concept
B．challenge a common belief
C．promote a healthy food
D．introduce a weight-loss plan
29. How does hunger influence our view of the world
A．By weakening our confidence.
B．By letting go of unhappy events.
C．By pushing us to think more positively.
D．By enhancing our memory of negatives.
30. What does the author want to say in the last paragraph
A．Dieting is the major reason for low spirits.
B．Anger usually has nothing to do with hunger.
C．We should keep away from the feeling of anger.
D．Checking our hunger can lead to a better choice.
31. What’s the text mainly about
A．How we can get rid of negative emotions.
B．How dieting affects our mind and behavior.
C．Why dieting becomes increasingly popular.
D．Why we should skip a single meal regularly.
D
For nearly 20 years, scientists have known that the slow, electrical waves in the brain during deep sleep support the formation of memories. The reason was unknown. Now, a study published in Nature Communications offers an answer: these “slow waves” prepare the brain’s long-term memory center for new information.
During sleep, our brains replay the events of the day, moving information from the location of short-term memory located in the neocortex (新皮质). “Slow waves” are especially key to this process. However, how they work at the level of brain cells remained unclear. To uncover this, Prof. Geiger, head of the new study, and his team took a rare approach. They studied complete samples of human brain tissue obtained from 45 patients undergoing neurosurgery (神经外科手术). In the lab, they recreated the slow electrical waves of deep sleep and precisely measured how the brain cells responded using an advanced technique.
Their discovery revealed an important process: the slow waves intensify the connections between brain cells, making them communicate more effectively. More importantly, they found a perfect timing for memory formation. The connections work best in the brief moment immediately after the brain wave’s voltage (电压) rises from low to high.
“During that brief time window, the cortex is placed in a state of higher readiness,” explained Franz Mittermaier, the study’s lead author. “If a memory is replayed at exactly this perfect moment, it is moved to long-term storage especially effectively.”
This finding could greatly change methods designed to improve memory, such as using gentle electrical or sound stimulation during sleep to enhance slow waves. “Right now, though, these stimulation approaches are being improved through trial and error,” said Prof. Geiger, “Our finding about the perfect timing could, for the first time, allow for the targeted development of such therapies (治疗), potentially helping those with mild memory problems.”
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
32. What is the purpose of the new study
A．To compare human and animal brain structures.
B．To find a new method for treating brain diseases.
C．To explain how deep sleep helps memory formation.
D．To prove that deep sleep is more important for health.
33. How did the research team study the “slow waves”
A．They observed sleeping volunteers in a lab.
B．They tested a new drug on human participants.
C．They interviewed patients with memory problems.
D．They experimented on human brain tissue samples.
34. What does the underlined word “intensify” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Strengthen. B．Establish. C．Maintain. D．Prevent.
35. What did Geiger think of their finding about perfect timing
A．An accident. B．A breakthrough. C．An expected result. D．A losing battle.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Criticism (批评) is a natural part of being a person existing around other people—it’s given when we work on a team, live with friends, post content on social media. 36. But it’s a valuable opportunity for learning and growth. We all need to know how to accept criticism with grace. Here are four keys to keep in mind.
Face criticism calmly. 37. Some words are helpful suggestions for improvement, while others are just meaningless remarks. Do not get angry or lose confidence because of outside comments. Tell apart useful advice and take it seriously. Ignore those empty talks and focus on your own progress. Stay steady, and you will become stronger day by day.
Turn a negative into a positive. One of the keys to success in anything is the ability to find positive things in things that most people see as a negative. Sickness forces you to stop your exercise program That’s a welcome rest. 38. Sure, it may be rude and mean, but in most criticism, you can find a suggestion for improvement.
Thank the person offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. They risk upsetting you rather than stay silent. 39. Be grateful for that. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you. Getting a response is better than absolute silence. Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting—and for that, you should be thankful.
40. Criticism can be tough to hear, but it can also be a valuable learning opportunity. Use the criticism as a chance to reflect on your own strengths and areas for improvement, and consider how you can apply the feedback to your future life. You can learn and grow by welcoming the opportunity.
A．Be a better person.
B．No one likes to be criticized.
C．Stay energetic and open-minded.
D．You can do the same thing with criticism.
E．That takes courage, and is a very generous thing.
F．The first reaction for most of us is to defend ourselves.
G．You will always hear different voices and even unkind criticism.

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。
It was a perfect Saturday afternoon. The sun was warm, and Leo and his three best friends had been playing soccer in the park for over an hour. The game was getting intense. Leo’s team was losing, and there were only minutes left.
Then Leo kicked the ball too hard. It flew through the air, turned wildly, and went over the park fence, across the street, and straight toward Mrs. Gable’s house—the old woman on the corner who everyone said was always watching from her window.
The sound of breaking glass stopped all four boys. For a long moment, nobody moved or spoke. Then they ran to the fence and saw it—Mrs. Gable’s front window had a round hole in it, exactly the size of a soccer ball. Small pieces of glass shone on the ground below. The ball lay in her flower bed, crushing(压坏) her best roses.
A light came on inside the house. A dark shape moved behind the curtain(窗帘). Without a word, the four boys started and ran away quickly—through the park and into the woods behind the school. They did not stop until they were sure no one had followed them.
Breathing hard against a tree, Leo’s friends started talking nervously. They told each other that Mrs. Gable had not seen them. They had been too fast, too far away, too hidden by the trees.
But Leo’s stomach felt sick. He kept thinking about the broken window and Mrs. Gable—who lived alone and hardly ever had visitors. His friends shook it off, saying she was just a mean old lady who shouted at kids for walking on her grass. They told Leo to forget about it. Leo did not answer. He went home in silence.

1.续写词数应为150左右;

Dear fellow students,
Nowadays many of us are crazy about surfing the Internet. Being addicted to the Internet brings great harm. It takes up too much study time, harms our eyes and makes us cut off from real-life communication. Worse still, bad online information may mislead us.
To avoid Internet addiction, we should make a daily time limit for online activities. We’d better take up hobbies like reading and sports to fill spare time. When we feel like scrolling online, turn to our family or classmates for face-to-face chats.
Let’s use the Internet wisely and stay away from addiction!

That night, Leo could not sleep. Guilt filled his heart again and again. He kept imagining Mrs. Gable sitting alone with a broken window and ruined roses. He knew running away was cowardly. Early the next morning, he saved his pocket money to pay for new glass and bought a bunch of fresh roses as an apology gift. He decided to face his mistake bravely instead of hiding.
The next morning, he arrived at Mrs. Gable’s door. He knocked nervously and handed her the money and flowers, admitting he broke the window by accident. To his surprise, Mrs. Gable smiled gently. She said she had seen the whole thing but was waiting for him to take responsibility. She forgave him and even praised his honesty. Leo learned that taking responsibility for mistakes is far more important than escaping trouble.
