Too loud. Too loud. Too loud.
If you were to search through my messages with my children from 2020 to last year, you would find that I sent 133 of these messages.
Typically, I sent these between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. The backstory to each, I’m sure, was relatively consistent: I was in bed, thinking about my schedule for the next day—a board meeting, a difficult conversation I needed to have—when from downstairs came the noise. Shrieks of laughter. Trash talk escalating over a video game. A heated debate about a book or a TV show or a person, filled with teenagers’ fierce intensity.
In every instance, it was the same routine. I picked up my phone, typed two words, and put it back down. About eighty percent of the time, the message really did say only that: Too loud. Sometimes I would write a little more: Too loud. Love you. The signals that the message had been received were less obvious—a brief drop in the noise, maybe half an hour of relative quiet. Then the laughter would find its way back up the stairs. And I’d send it again.
Read one way, those messages are exactly what they appear to be: evidence of a dad who wanted to sleep and couldn’t, a catalog of minor annoyances sent into the dark and mostly ignored. Looking back, I realized that I had been keeping a record of the years my house was full.
Now I get into bed before 10 p.m. most nights. The house is quiet. Our dog leaps beside me, which I’m grateful for. I pick up a book and read and feel something I can’t quite name. Grief, maybe. But mostly a spaciousness where the noise used to be.
I don’t think I’d change a thing about the way things were—not the sleep I lost, not the half-hour reprieves that never lasted. Actually, I would change this: I would have known, while it was happening, what I was in the middle of. I would have known that every time I typed Too loud I was also saying Don’t go anywhere yet. But for most parents, that’s probably not how any of this works. You don’t know you’re in the good years until you’re standing in the quiet they left behind.
24. Why did the father keep sending “too loud” messages
A. To end their arguments.
B. To punish his children.
C. To keep them away.
D. To get some shut-eye.
25. How did the children react to their father’s messages
A. They felt regretful and wrote replies soon.
B. They stayed quiet all the rest of the night.
C. They kept debating fiercely about books.
D. They quieted briefly and then laughed again.
26. What likely gave rise to the father’s “spaciousness”
A. The children’s absence from the once noisy house.
B. His new habit of going to bed much earlier at night.
C. The realization that he used to be far too strict.
D. The dog’s quiet company right beside him in bed.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Parents should treasure more sleepless nights.
B. Children need freedom to grow independently.
C. Precious moments are often recognized too late.
D. The writer reconsidered his parenting approach.
C
As carbon dioxide levels rise, trees should photosynthesize (光合作用) more, grow larger, and store more planet-warming carbon in their wood. That has been the assumption behind many climate models. Yet a new study published in Science Advances suggests this assumption may need rethinking.
Researchers tracking oak trees across 137 sites discovered that photosynthesis and tree growth do not always go hand in hand. While oaks continued to photosynthesize well into October, their wood growth had essentially stopped by late July. Roughly 36 percent of the trees’ annual carbon uptake occurred after growth had ended—detected using satellite imagery and trunk sensors recording minute changes in tree size.
Rather than being stored in wood, much of this carbon served short-term purposes: producing leaves, sustaining cells through winter, or feeding soil communities. Some fraction does help kick-start growth the following year, but exactly how much is stored for the long term remains unclear—and it is likely less than what models have assumed.
The reason comes down to water. When water is limited, trees lose the internal pressure needed for growth, even as photosynthesis continues at a slightly decreased rate. “Growth activity stops pretty instantly while photosynthesis seems to continue,” explains lead researcher Mukund Palat Rao.
The decoupling (脱节) between the two was especially pronounced in years swinging between wet and dry extremes—a pattern expected to become more common. Current climate models typically operate on the principle that increased photosynthesis automatically means greater wood production. Given this decoupling, forests may store less carbon over the long term than current models predict.
Rao and his colleagues are now studying whether the decoupling of photosynthesis and growth is taking place in other tree species, ecosystems and regions. “There are many questions still left to address,” he says. But one thing is already clear: “More photosynthesis might not necessarily mean more tree growth in the future.”
28. What does the new study find about photosynthesis and tree growth
A. They have opposite effects on long-term carbon storage.
B. They are both directly controlled by CO levels.
C. They are not necessarily in line with each other.
D. They respond similarly to changes in water supply.
29. Why does tree growth stop while photosynthesis continues
A. Heat damages cells responsible for wood formation.
B. Late carbon is directed to short-term functions.
C. Trees deliberately conserve water for winter.
D. Water loss takes away the growth pressure.
30. What can be inferred about current climate models from the 5th paragraph
A. They assume wet years produce more wood than dry years.
B. They may overestimate the long-term carbon storage in forests.
C. They mistake photosynthesis rate for carbon storage capacity.
D. They maintain that photosynthesis doesn’t lead to growth.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Carbon Journey: From Air to Forest Soil
B. Carbon Storage Gap: New Study Challenges Old Models
C. Oak Survival: Water Shortage as a Growth Blocker
D. Climate Models: The Case for an Update
D
Are you ready to order The story begins with a regular visit by Feynman, a Nobel prize-winning physicist and his friend Ralph Leighton, to a Thai restaurant in the late 1970s. Leighton wondered whether he should order his favourite dish or explore the rest of the menu. Feynman began scribbling and promptly claimed he had found a mathematical solution: in his simplified model of the situation, he calculated a threshold — a number of visits beyond which Leighton’s sensible decision would be to always settle on his favourite dish.
What Feynman had done was turn the restaurant dilemma into a question in decision theory. In particular, it was an original contribution to a larger family of problems in decision theory called stopping problems. These include real-life problems in which someone has to decide whether the possibility they have in front of them is good enough, or whether to keep searching.
Some researchers decided to test whether people’s choices would resemble anything close to Feynman’s mathematical solution. They translated the restaurant question into an online game, recruiting 2,520 participants to answer it. Participants were instructed to imagine visiting a new city for a period of between one and four weeks, and having to choose which restaurant to eat at each night. Players could earn points for the quality of the restaurant they picked (a number between 1 and 100), and were told to try to maximize their total number of points. Participants became less willing to risk trying new restaurants as the end of their visit approached. Although the participants did not work out the mathematical solution — which involves a formula (公式) with square roots — their behaviour was a very close match to it.
Although Feynman’s solution could have applications in economics and marketing, it does not fully model people’s behaviour at a restaurant. In particular, it does not take boredom into account because players’ best option is to settle on one dish once and for all. In real life, someone might want to continue to choose the same dish every other time, say, and keep exploring the menu on the other visits. But the solution does reduce this fundamental tension very familiar in every day to its simplest form : the decision between doing your favourite thing and trying something new.
32. What does the underlined word “threshold” refer to
A. The number of dishes on a menu.
B. The point to stop exploring and settle.
C. The time when one gets bored with a dish.
D. The moment of finding the best dish.
33. Why does the author mention “stopping problems” in paragraph 2
A. To show the dilemma is part of a broader category.
B. To compare different theories of decision making.
C. To help people deal with larger family problems.
D. To explain why people enjoy trying new things.
34. What can we infer from the online game experiment
A. Participants used mathematical formulas to guide choices.
B. Participants explored new options without considering points.
C. Participants increasingly chose familiar options over time.
D. Participants refused new choices from the very start of the visit.
35. What is the writer’s attitude to Feynman’s problem
A. Dismissive. B. Unclear. C. Approving D. Doubtful

The Courage Within: From Fear to Action
Courage is a personality trait that everyone possesses, yet it often fails in the face of bad experiences or painful memories. Many people assume that the courageous are simply those born without fear. ____36____ In fact, building courage begins not with eliminating fear, but with understanding it.
The first move is to identify what truly frightens you. People are often reluctant to admit their fears, and this reluctance itself quietly undermines their confidence. Writing down a list of specific fears, though embarrassing at first, makes them visible and manageable. ____37____ For instance, if you fear rejection by others, tracing that fear back to its origin helps you understand where it truly comes from.
____38____ One of the hardest is the habit of comparison. Every person is different, and measuring yourself against others only deepens your sense of inadequacy. When you meet someone who seems fearless in an area where you struggle, remind yourself that you likely possess courage in areas where they do not. Shifting the focus back to your own strengths is essential.
Beyond mindset, courage ultimately grows through action itself. ____39____ If you are afraid of heights, for example, you don’t need to jump from a plane—start by climbing to a three-meter diving board, then move to the top of a small building. Each calculated risk teaches you that failure is survivable and that growth lies just beyond your comfort zone.
Finally, sustaining courage requires the right emotional climate. Negative thoughts will inevitably arise, but learning not to dwell on them keeps you moving forward. ____40____
A. This assumption misses what courage truly is.
B. It begins with a single small step—and then the next.
C. Sharing your fear with others takes away much of its power.
D. Those who seem fearless are often simply better at hiding their fears.
E. Each step forward, in turn, strengthens your belief in your own capability.
F. Once your fears are named and understood, the next challenge is psychological.
G. Yet naming them is just the first step—finding the cause is what makes the real difference.

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。
Nathan and Kim Maker loved scuba diving. On July 24, 2024, the couple arrived off the Texas coast for a diving trip. That morning, they entered the water for their final dive near an abandoned oil rig.
As they descended, a sudden current swept them away. The couple surfaced and inflated (给……充气) their safety vests. The boat was maybe 90 metres over the water, but the current was relentless. Minute by minute, it grew smaller until it disappeared over the horizon. They were alone, miles from shore with nothing but endless blue in every direction.
The ocean stretched around them, vast and indifferent. The sky pressed down like a lid. Nathan felt a knot tighten in his stomach. He looked at Kim, forcing a smile. “We’ll be fine,” he said, but his voice betrayed his fear.
Nathan used a rope to tie himself to Kim. “Whatever comes next, we’ll be together,” he said.
Kim squeezed his hand, her fingers trembling. To avoid hypothermia (低体温症), they did swim sprints — 30 hard kicks, then rested, huddled close. That first day, they stayed positive, joking about cocktails they would have once rescued.
That evening, a light appeared on the horizon. They swam toward it all night. Then a storm hit. Winds reached 80 km/h, whipping the ocean into huge waves. The sky turned black, and rain slashed down like knives. They clung to each other in the freezing water, their bodies pressed together, grateful for the thin rope binding them.
By the next evening, nearly 24 hours into their trial, Kim was badly sunburned, and Nathan was visibly weaker. He had diabetes and was severely dehydrated (脱水的). His lips were cracked, his movements sluggish.
“If I pass before you, cut that rope and let me go,” Nathan whispered. “You’ve got to get home.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1: Kim refused to give up on Nathan.
Paragraph 2: Just before midnight, they heard the roar of a boat approaching.

第一节 邮件范文（15分）
Dear Mr. Brown,
I’m writing to offer my suggestion about our school English activity. I prefer the activity of telling Chinese stories in English.
First of all, sharing traditional Chinese stories helps us spread our brilliant culture. Besides, it can improve our oral English and logical thinking. Unlike poetry contests, it fits most students and creates more interaction.
I would appreciate it if you could take my advice into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写范文（25分）
Paragraph 1: Kim refused to give up on Nathan.
She held him tightly and comforted him in a soft voice, saying she would never cut the rope and leave him alone. She told him all their warm memories and reminded him of their family waiting for them on land. To save energy, she wrapped her whole body around Nathan to keep him warm against the cold sea wind. She encouraged him constantly and told him they would survive the tough trial together.
Paragraph 2: Just before midnight, they heard the roar of a boat approaching.
Kim waved her arms wildly and shouted for help as loud as she could. The boat spotted them and quickly sailed toward their position. The sailors threw a life raft down and pulled the exhausted couple aboard. They received emergency treatment on the boat. After recovering, the two realized love and mutual persistence helped them survive the terrifying 24-hour sea adventure.
