I grew up surrounded by nature, conservation, and expeditions (探险) because my father was the founder of Biosphere Expeditions. I went on my first expedition in 2002, when I was six months old. I remember none of it, but those early experiences left a lasting mark. At six and eight, I spent summers in Namibia. My strongest memory is befriending a local girl. I used a wheelchair because of my disability, and the road was rough, but she carried me on her back so we could play together. That moment strengthened my love of connecting with new people and hearing their stories.
On expeditions, we were never typical tourists. We stayed with local scientists in small-scale houses rather than all-inclusive hotels. For me, travelling has always meant getting to know a place rather than just visiting it. The 2014 Oman Expedition was my first time in Asia. I remember stepping off the plane into the extreme heat and I had to cover my arms and legs in 35-degree weather as the locals did. That trip became one of my first real lessons about cultural differences and respecting other ways of life.
One of my biggest realizations is that humans are not more important than other animals. We are part of nature, not separate from it. Because of all these expeditions, I try to live aware of my impact. Growing up with disability, my family treated me the same as others. These experiences of acceptance and exploration are part of why I became a writer. I use my writing to show that disabled people are just normal people. My message is simple: treat us like you would treat anyone else. These experiences — of nature, culture, and acceptance — are why I believe expeditions matter.
Expeditions are one of the best ways to travel with purpose. They were an education, a perspective shift, and a reminder that the world is far bigger, more complex, and more interconnected than we usually realize.
4. What difficulty did the author meet with while playing in Namibia
A．The extreme heat.
B．The lack of playmates.
C．The bad road conditions.
D．The unfamiliar culture.
5. Why does the author mention the Oman trip
A．To introduce a lesson on cultural respect.
B．To explain why she preferred small hotels.
C．To show the tough weather conditions there.
D．To compare Asian and African expeditions.
6. What can be inferred about the author’s family
A．They encouraged her to write.
B．They were professional explorers.
C．They valued equality and inclusion.
D．They worried about her disability.
7. What do the underlined words “a perspective shift” in the last paragraph mean
A．A change of travel plans.
B．A step into a new world.
C．A new start in one’s career.
D．A new way of seeing things.
C
We’ve all heard the advice to “sleep on it” when facing a tough problem, and science now confirms there’s real wisdom behind those words. While sleep’s exact functions have long puzzled researchers, one thing is clear: our brains remain remarkably active while we rest.
Central to this discovery is the active system consolidation (巩固) theory, which proposes that during sleep, our brains replay and reorganize memories. This process not only stabilizes new information by integrating it into existing long-term memory networks, but also assists with problem-solving. A 2021 study proved this effect: participants trained on a problem-solving video game showed a 62% success rate after a night’s sleep, compared to just 24% among those who stayed awake. Even more remarkable, a 2019 study found this natural process could be enhanced by playing sounds associated with unsolved puzzles during sleep, effectively activating (激活) the brain’s consolidation process.
However, as researcher Mark Beeman stressed, sleep cannot create knowledge from nothing — it helps us fit together pieces we already possess, never generating breakthroughs in fields where we lack foundational understanding.
Beyond puzzle-solving, sleep sharpens our decision-making by reducing the first-impression effect, our tendency to overvalue first impressions. A 2024 Duke University study found that participants who slept on their choices made significantly more balanced decisions, as the distance allowed them to weigh information more evenly (均衡地).
Perhaps most fascinating is the creative potential of that in-between moment, neither fully awake nor asleep. Thomas Edison famously employed this “creative sweet spot” by napping (小睡) with a spoon in hand; the noise when he nodded off would wake him before he sank into deeper sleep. Modern research has confirmed his insight: a 2021 French study showed that participants who took brief naps and woke before deep sleep set in performed best at spotting hidden patterns in mathematical problems.
Of course, not every situation suits a nap — you wouldn’t pause your driving test for a quick nap. Yet for complex problems where the pieces lie spread out in your mind, a good night’s sleep may be the most scientifically sound strategy you can employ.
8. What benefit comes from sleep’s consolidation process
A．Finish video games without training.
B．Rearrange memories to work out problems.
C．Use sound to build lifelong memory easily.
D．Strengthen existing memories for future use.
9. What can we infer from Beeman’s remarks
A．Sleep builds on what we already know.
B．Sleep may bring major breakthroughs.
C．Sleep can create brand-new knowledge.
D．Sleep helps collect unfamiliar information.
10. Which group performs best in finding hidden math patterns
A．The group remaining in full deep sleep.
B．The group solving problems with spoons.
C．The group napping without entering deep sleep.
D．The group staying awake throughout the experiment.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Rest Longer for More Energy
B．Let Your Brain Sort Things Out
C．Pause Your Day for Better Focus
D．Sleep Your Way to Smarter Decisions
D
Scientists at South Korea’s POSTECH have developed a remarkable silicone neckband that reads the slight muscle movements in your neck when you mouth words silently, transforming them into clear speech in your own voice. Unlike previous approaches relying on heavy EMG or EEG equipment with uncomfortable sticky electrodes, this device combines soft silicone, a tiny camera, and motion sensors (运动传感器) with an AI model trained on the wearer’s voice.
The key innovation lies in its Multiaxial Strain Mapping Sensor, which tracks not only how much the skin deforms (变形) during silent speech, but more importantly in which direction it moves. Reference markers printed on the neckband enable a tiny onboard camera to detect these deformations in real time. In one test, the system achieved 85.8% precision across 26 words, and its voice generation required less than 10 minutes of user recordings to reproduce a natural tone. Remarkably, it maintained a signal-to-noise ratio (比率) of 33.75 dB in 90 dB white noise — roughly the volume of a busy construction site — outperforming commercial EMG systems.
The potential applications are striking. Professor Sung-Min Park envisions the technology bringing back speech for laryngectomized patients and enabling communication in environments where traditional microphones fail, from industrial facilities and emergency response to military operations. The team has already confirmed its reliability during a gas blowback rifle trial, where extreme noise and physical vibration (振动) tested its limits.
Yet significant limitations remain. The current model recognizes only 26 set words, not free conversation, and precision drops to 39.72% when users walk or move their heads greatly. Researchers at Cambridge University have developed a similar choker-based approach with reportedly higher precision and emotional detection capabilities, though POSTECH’s unique edge lies in its faithful reconstruction of the user’s own vocal character.
The team now aims to expand its word bank, test across broader user groups, and improve the way it adjusts for body movement — steps that could transform this promising model into a truly liberating tool for those who have lost their voices.
12. How does the author introduce the neckband in paragraph 1
A．By offering experts’ comments on it.
B．By listing its technical instructions.
C．By describing its appearance in detail.
D．By comparing it with earlier devices.
13. What does the test data in paragraph 2 suggest
A．The device needs more user recordings.
B．The device works well in noisy settings.
C．The device beats other research products.
D．The device recognizes a wide range of words.
14. What is the last but one paragraph mainly about
A．The device’s future plan.
B．The device’s current weaknesses.
C．The device’s market growth.
D．The device’s competitive advantages.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the technology’s future
A．Doubtful.
B．Indifferent.
C．Uncertain.
D．Hopeful.

Giving with Meaning
Knowing that gifts bring happiness and strengthen bonds is wonderful, though it can feel a bit stressful at times. Remember, there’s a wide world of gifts to explore. It’s the thought that counts. ___16___ Here are some thoughtful ideas.
Think about humour. A playful gift can be a hit, but if it misses the mark, it might cause awkwardness. Consider how much the person appreciates humour day to day — and remember it’s a very personal thing. Keep light-hearted gifts for people you know well, and avoid anything that might touch on sensitive spots. ___17___
Consider the cost. ___18___ Reflect on what you normally spend with that person and keep it in balance. Emotion, personal taste, and shared memories often matter more than price. A costly present can sometimes feel like a symbol rather than a true reflection of care — imagine receiving an expensive bottle of champagne if you don’t drink, for example.
___19___ People’s style shows in everything from their clothes to their homewares (家居用品) and garden. When a gift suits their preferences, it’s more likely to be valued and used. Use what you know rather than take a bet on something too daring or unfamiliar. If they love blue or mid-century-modern style, look for those details when choosing a gift.
Wrap it up. How a gift looks matters too. We’re visual beings, and a little thoughtful wrapping can make a big difference. Choosing eco-friendly paper or adding a personal tag (标签) can show you care for both the person and the planet. ___20___ Sometimes a quiet moment between just the two of you helps the meaning truly land.
A．Visit their houses.
B．Remember their tastes.
C．Money can come and go.
D．And they don’t need to be costly.
E．Money can make gift-giving tricky.
F．Think about the occasion when you give the gift.
G．Sometimes a joke is better shared in person than wrapped up.

56. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Mia was not the tallest or the strongest, and she didn’t have the loudest voice in the crowd. In fact, she was small, quiet, and a bit shy. Every day, Mia would watch the other children play, run, and laugh together. They seemed to have everything — energy, confidence, and a sense of belonging. Mia admired them all from the sidelines, wishing she could be like them. “I’m just a quiet girl,” she often thought. “I don’t have any special talent to share with the world.”
One afternoon, as Mia sat on a grassy hill, she saw the other children gathering in a circle. They were preparing to put on a play for the village, something grand and exciting. Everyone had a role, from the bold storyteller to the energetic dancers. Mia longed to be a part of it, but she felt like she didn’t belong. “I don’t have the courage to stand in front of everyone,” she thought.
Just then, an older woman named Mrs. Green, who was known for her kindness, came to sit beside Mia. “Why aren’t you joining them, dear ” she asked with a warm smile.
“I’m too shy,” Mia whispered, looking down at her shoes. “I don’t have the talent to do something as big as that.”
Mrs. Green chuckled softly. “You don’t need to be loud or big to make a difference. Every person has something special to offer, even if it’s not always obvious at first.”
Mia wasn’t sure what Mrs. Green meant, but the words stayed in her heart. As the day went on, Mia couldn’t stop thinking about them. Could she really make a difference in her own way
That evening, as the village gathered for the play, Mia wandered near the stage. The children were rehearsing (排练) their lines, practicing their dances, and getting ready for the big show. But as she watched, Mia noticed something. The props (道具) for the play were messy, disorganized, and some of the costumes were torn, but the performers were too busy to notice.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

An idea struck her as she saw the situation. Without hesitation, Mia quietly walked up and started tidying up all the messy props. She mended the broken costumes with needle and thread, arranged stage tools neatly and wiped dirty decorations clean. She worked the whole evening silently, never drawing anyone’s attention. When the actors returned to the stage, they were shocked by the tidy, beautiful stage, wondering who had done all the hard work. Mrs. Green saw Mia’s small figure hiding behind the curtain and smiled knowingly.
As the play ended, the children invited Mia onto the stage. All the villagers cheered warmly for her. Mia stood there shyly, not daring to lift her head. Mrs. Green told everyone Mia’s great effort behind the scenes. The kids thanked her sincerely, realizing quiet care was also a precious talent. Mia finally understood she didn’t need to perform on stage to shine. Everyone’s unique value lies in their own quiet kindness.
