一．阅读理解（共20小题）
1．（2025 沙坪坝区校级开学） The wind sweeps the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry away.The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations，and now，it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own.Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born.Not as a visitor，but as the region's only doctor.
When Susan was 8 years old，she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing（扭动） in pain.A doctor was called for.They waited.A messenger was sent.The doctor still didn't come.Susan provided what comfort she could through the night，but by sunrise，the elderly woman had died.The episode both haunted and motivated Susan.She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to college.
Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed and the people she loved.But there was further to go.She enrolled in the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania，a boring train ride away from the world she knew.It was 1886，and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women.In her graduation speech from Hampton，she told the East Coast audience， "Give us a chance."Three years later，she became a doctor.
Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task.She opened an office and began seeing patients.The lines were long，old and young seeking help for various diseases.Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow，walking miles to make house calls.Her work was more than as a physician.She often acted as lawyer，accountant，counselor and even priest（牧师） as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world and she was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.

2．（2025 沙坪坝区校级开学） Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares.This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well﹣being for the human population.Researchers at the Technical University ofMunich （TUM） have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna（动植物）.They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature﹣focused approach to the design of public spaces.
Together with his team，Wolfgang Weisser，Professor of Terrestrial Ecology at TUM，looked at such factors as size，the occurrence of lawn，plant and tree growth，artificial light sources and green in the surroundings of the 103 public squares in Munich.The squares varied from almost entirely sealed（封闭的） to park﹣like squares.
Their results show，with Munich as an example，how greatly the different spaces can differ in the animals and other organisms that can live there.At the heavily sealed Marienplatz，the researchers counted only 20 species，with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat species.Meanwhile，at Pfrontener Platz，a space with lawns，bushes and trees，they found 156 taxa，including 21 different kinds of birds.At Johannisplatz，118 species are present，as it has trees，hedges and some grassy areas despite being sealed to a relatively large extent.
Unsurprisingly，more plants are beneficial to many animal species.This is a factor that urban planning models already take into account.However，the study also shows that lawns，trees and bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract.So far，public spaces are designed with humans in mind，with little consideration to animals and other species.
The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if，instead of applying the same patterns to every location，planners take into account the local conditions and the needs of different species.To encourage more bee species，for example，they should not only plant nectar﹣bearing flowers，but also provide open space as habitat for bees and a source of nest﹣building material.

A.The best locations for flora and fauna.
B.Factors to be considered in square design.
C.The impact of local conditions on biodiversity.

A.Animals expand in sealed parks.
B.Open parks support more biodiversity.
C.Open parks are not fit for birds to stay.
D.Closed parks are as good as open ones.
（3）What does the study say about urban greenery？ 　 　
A.It varies in attracting species.
B.It will replace artificial lights.
C.It has nothing to do with species.

4．（2025 江西一模） "My enthusiasm for this job is totally gone，" an Amazon worker recently wrote on Blind，an online forum where employees complain about their employers.All this happened after Andy Jassy，the tech giant's boss，sent a letter that ordered staff back to the office five days a week instead of the previous three days.
Amazon isn't alone to limit remote work.A recent global survey by KPMG，another professional﹣services firm，found that four﹣fifths of bosses expect a return to the office five days a week within three years.The change in some tech，financial and professional﹣services firms is more dramatic.
Ordering a return to the office tends to anger staff.A survey by Gartner，a research firm，found that a fifth of employees would leave their jobs if they were forced back to the office.For some companies，that may be the point.Getting some of them to leave voluntarily would reduce costs，though it also risks losing talented employees.
Many bosses believe having employees in the office leads to better performance.Plenty of studies suggest that remote employees are less productive.There's less evidence，though，that letting staff work from home a couple of days a week has a negative effect on performance.A random trial at an online travel agency by Nick Bloom of Stanford University found no difference in performance between hybrid workers and those who worked entirely from the office.
Bosses may argue that complex tasks，such as designing a user interface，can require a lot of cooperation that may be difficult to perform virtually.Junior employees may also receive less coaching if they interact with others from home.Some bosses argue that this will harm their company's culture，as new employees don't absorb it and old ones forget it.Mr.Jassy wrote that Amazon's culture has been one of the most critical parts of its success，and that it's easier for our teammates to learn，practise，and strengthen it when working together in the office.
For now，investors seem to be withholding judgment.If Mr.Jassy is right，that may soon change.
（1）What did the Amazon worker complain about on Blind？ 　 　
A.The increase in remote work hours.
B.The shift in the company's leadership.
C.The requirement of the five﹣day office work.
D.The lack of opportunities for advancement.
（2）What can be inferred from paragraph 4？ 　 　
A.Office work is always more productive.
B.Hybrid work is the best for all companies.
C.Remote work leads to a lack of enthusiasm.
D.The effect of work mode on productivity isn't clear﹣cut.
（3）What's Jassy's attitude towards ordering employees to return to the office？ 　 　
A.Supportive.
B.Opposed.
C.Reserved.
D.Indifferent.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？ 　 　
A.Limit Work Days to Promote Productivity.
B.Know Corporate Culture via Remote Work.
C.Obey the Order and Stop Making Complaints.
D.Get Prepared to Go back to the Office to Work.
5．（2025 端州区二模） Who among us hasn't weighed up the value of attending an event that required a long commute （通勤），or found themselves in a bad mood due to being stuck in traffic？But while it's obvious that some activities will bring us joy and others only frustration，translating this understanding into data that can help guide policy decisions has historically proved difficult.
It's what Dr.Christian Krekel and Dr.George MacKerron have been exploring.They propose a new method for estimating the Value of Time（VOT）and calculate（计算），for the first time，VOTs for a wide range of common activities such as walking，commuting and socialising.Through an app called Mappiness，they can ask people about their happiness randomly throughout the day and record how they are actually feeling in that moment while doing something or being somewhere.With data from over 30，000 people around the UK，the researchers were able to identify how people felt when carrying out 42 daily activities and calculate a monetary（货币的）value for each activity.
Interestingly， "waiting or queuing" was found to have a strong and significant negative impact on happiness，ranking as the third least enjoyable activity.The VOT shows that spending 60 minutes waiting is found to be worth 12.20 per hour；commuting 8.40 per hour；and waiting during commuting，a huge 17.20 per hour.These high costs suggest that respondents would be better off spending their time doing something else.Or，as Dr.Krekel says， "Someone who is waiting for 60 minutes would need to be paid 12.20 to achieve the same level of happiness if they were not waiting."
This new method of calculating VOT allows researchers to measure the benefits of funding time﹣saving facilities，helping policymakers to make informed decisions over where best to spend money.By showing how impactful waiting and commuting are on the population，the research makes a strong case for funding projects that would reduce the time people spend doing these activities and promote the wellbeing of all who stand to benefit.
（1）Why does the author mention two situations in paragraph 1？ 　 　
A．To present a fact.
B．To introduce the topic.
C．To explain the issue.
D．To compare the differences.
（2）The researchers estimated the VOTs through 　 　.
A．random surveys
B．calculated case studies
C．on﹣site observations
D．face﹣to﹣face interviews
（3）Which of the following might have the highest VOT according to the research？ 　 　
A．Commuting to school on a bus for thirty minutes.
B．Waiting for a coffee for nearly one hour at a café.
C．Spending two hours shopping with a friend at a mall.
D．Being stuck in traffic for an hour on the way to work.
（4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？ 　 　
A．The appeal for future studies.
B．The challenges of the project.
C．The application of the research.
D．The improvement of the method.
6．（2025 江西一模） Sound signals are vital for animals deep in the dark oceans to communicate and search for food.That way of life has been threatened from increasing human noise.A leading cause is shipping﹣noise emissions.
With roughly 90% of traded goods traveling by sea，quieting the ocean through reductions in shipping is untenable.Efforts to make ships more efficient and less polluting may also reduce noise.But experts say those measures won't do enough to restore quiet.So，a range of technologies are being developed to allow humans and other animals to co﹣exist in the ocean.
Much of the underwater noise a ship produces comes from its propeller （螺旋桨）.The low﹣frequency noise it produces can travel thousands of metres underwater without losing strength，interrupting the movements of whales which use these frequencies to communicate.
One solution by researchers at the University of British Columbia（UBC），makes the metal propeller flexible，allowing their tips to bend and twist，preventing bubbles from forming and reducing the noise the propeller produces，says Rajeev of UBC.
More ideas are also on the table.Giovanni，a marine﹣engineering researcher，is investigating whether an acoustic （音响的） black hole can help.Such an object，which aims to trap sound like black holes trap light，can be built by fixing steel beams to the inside of the ship.Laboratory tests show this can reduce vibrations like the best available alternatives，without the added weight or fire risk these often involve.
Tom Smith，a researcher in naval architecture，says that technological solutions for reducing ocean noise are abundant.What is missing is a willingness for shipbuilders and owners to use them.Refitting ships to be quieter is complex and costly，and not seen as a priority at present.
That may change.Some seaports now offer discounts equal to thousands of dollars for ships that meet the highest level of noise reduction.Since the International Maritime Organisation has promised to reduce carbon emissions from international shipping by 70% by 2040，this may prove a good deal.
（1）What's the harm shipping﹣noise emissions do to a deep﹣sea animal？ 　 　
A.Its habitat is polluted by the emissions.
B.Its way of communication is interrupted.
C.It can't find enough neighboring animals.
D.It has to travel a longer distance for food.
（2）What does the underlined word "untenable" in paragraph 2 mean？ 　 　
A.Impractical.
B.Sensible.
C.Irregular.
D.Universal.
（3）What's the difficulty in adopting technological solutions according to Tom？ 　 　
A.The technology isn't reliable to be used.
B.It may do great harm to the environment.
C.It's complicated and adds to the cost of ships.
D.It has drawn criticism from the government.
（4）What is the main idea of the passage？ 　 　
A.The importance of sound signals in the ocean.
B.The role of shipping in global trade and its environmental impact.
C.The challenges faced by marine engineers in reducing noise pollution.
D.The impact of shipping noise on marine life and the potential solutions.
7．（2025 端州区二模） Studies have shown the mere exposure effect，also referred to as the familiarity principle，inspires our decisions.It is a helpful psychological mechanism（机制）that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things.Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring.So unless we have a terrible experience，we are likely to buy from companies we've got used to.That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.
It's not the case that we only desire things we already know.Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences，we sometimes see less familiar choices as more desirable.But when acting on that preference，we fall back to what we know.This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don't quite match up.We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.
It's easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams.But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big﹣picture thinking.Where we imagine that change requires a substantial dramatic（巨大而突然的）swing that we don't feel ready for.Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration is complete exposure to novelty（新奇的事物）.While this can appear effective in the short run，we may only end up replacing one problem with another.It also risks overwhelm and burnout.
So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead？Familiarity is something we can learn to play with and enjoy.It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion.We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit.If we think of familiarity as something that can expand，we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lies to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently.From here，we will start to make decisions，drawing from an ever﹣deepening pool of valuable alternatives.
（1）What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more？ 　 　
A．The familiarity principle.
B．The advertising cost.
C．The improved service.
D．The law of the market.
（2）What can be learned from paragraph 2？ 　 　
A．Our preferences affect our decisions.
B．There can be a mismatch between desires and actions.
C．The familiarity principle is a double﹣edged sword.
D．Familiarity tends to generate disrespect.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards the solution in some articles？ 　 　
A．Objective.
B．Favorable.
C．Disapproving.
D．Tolerant.
（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？ 　 　
A．Gently Expand Your Familiarity Zone.
B．Step Out of Your Familiarity Zone.
C．Spare A Thought For Your Preference.
D．Give Priority to the Mere Exposure Effect.

9．（2025 湖北二模） Helen Clitheroe was 32 when she started doing the steeplechase（障碍赛跑）.British Athletics encouraged her to try it because 2008 would be the first time women's steeplechase was in the Olympics.She had never jumped over barriers before her thirties.
In 2010，she competed in both the 1，500 m and steeplechase at the Commonwealth Games，which became a turning point.After a few injuries and falling out of love with the steeplechase a little bit，she talked with her coach John Nuttall about her options.They decided to attempt different challenges to focus on longer distances﹣the 5，000 m and 10，000 m.
In 2011，although they hadn't planned to compete indoors that season，she was in excellent shape.She won the match in Glasgow，breaking Liz McColgan's record.Then she set her personal best in the 3，000 m at Birmingham.
Going into the European Athletics Indoor Championships，she was the fastest runner on paper，but she had come fourth twice before in these championships.Her coach and she discussed race strategy carefully.For the first time，she followed her coach's advice exactly，staying near the front but not leading until the end.She had never trusted her finishing sprint （冲刺） before，but that day she did.Even though Russian runner Olesya Syreva was close behind，she won her first gold medal.
At 37，she became the oldest person to win a European indoor title.Many people had kept asking when she would retire，but this victory proved that older athletes could still succeed.She changed her training as she got older，being more careful with hard training sessions and taking more time to recover.As she says，as long as you take care of your body，you can still run fast.This win was special because it came after many years of trying and showed that age shouldn't limit anyone's dreams in sports.

11．（2025 江西一模） The pond was silent，until the first cry： "Found something!" A swimmer dived into the water and appeared with a pair of children's swimming goggles.Over the next hour，on a cloudy Saturday morning in July，the team of 15，all women over 65，hunted for trash across the 28﹣acre Mares Pond，at depths of up to eight feet.The divers turned up wooden boards，beer cans and countless other bits of garbage.When the team returned to shore，they were cracking jokes about the dive and their achievements.
These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage（OLAUG）.Since 2017，the group，which accepts only older women as members，has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod in Massachusetts.When Susan，a retired psychologist，began swimming in the ponds，the pond was one of worries for her.In 2017，she rounded up two friends and approached a stranger with a kayak （小艇），and together they cleared litter from a pond.Soon others joined them，and they found a sense of wonder in the pond cleanups. "It's a different world under the surface.You see fish of all different sizes.You see turtles.It's beautiful.It's all underwater miracles，" says Susan.
While some people have questioned why they refer to themselves as "old ladies"，and suggest that they should open the group to all ages and to men，the group member Baur believes that the "old lady" identity is a crucial part of what the group is about. "Over 65，if you're healthy enough to do what we're doing，it is the age of gratitude，" Baur says.She notes that part of the goal of OLAUG is to demonstrate that older women，working as a team，can do a lot more than people might think.
（1）What were the swimmers doing in the pond in Para.1？ 　 　
A.Hunting for hidden treasures.
B.Detecting recyclable rubbish.
C.Clearing rubbish from the lake.

A.She worried about the life after retirement.
B.She wanted to join forces to clean up the pond.
C.She desired to get people engaged in swimming.
D.She meant to spread her professional knowledge.
（3）How does Baur view their "old lady" identity？ 　 　
A.It represents the qualities of the old people.
B.It shows their ability to contribute to society.
C.It is their special way of exploring the world.
D.It should be revised to include various people.
（4）Which of the following best describes the OLAUG？

13．（2025 南京模拟） When geneticist Elizabeth Clare placed 70 small filters （过滤器） around England's Hamerton Zoo Park last year，she intended for the traps to collect DNA from the sky.What she didn't know，however，was that led by Kristine Bohmann，another team was conducting a similar experiment in the Copenhagen Zoo.
Wild animals are usually studied indirectly through clues that they leave behind，like fur，feathers or waste.That means certain animals —especially the small，fast and shy ones —are often missed in traditional wildlife surveys.Because all living organisms shed DNA into the air of the environment they live in，the two research groups hoped they could use those genetic traces，called eDNA，to find out what animals frequent an area.
One of the biggest challenges of working with airborne eDNA is avoiding contamination （污染） from other sources，which could muddle（弄乱）results."The zoo becomes this perfect environment where we know everything that we're detecting has only one possible source，" says Clare. "My lab doesn't handle tiger DNA ever，so if we're detecting a tiger，there is no other source."
To see if eDNA could be detected in the air，both teams placed filters in different zoo enclosures，including both indoor and outdoor exhibits.Bohmann's group collected 40 air samples in three locations around the Copenhagen Zoo.They also tested three different air sampling devices.Clare's group took a similar approach but instead used just one type of air pump.
Though both groups were optimistic that their idea could work，they were still shocked at their results.In the 40 samples that Bohmann's group collected，they successfully found 49 species including mammals，birds，reptiles and fish. "We had no idea that this would actually work so well，" says Bohmann.Clare's team also identified DNA from more than two dozen different species of animals from their samples，including tigers，lemurs and dingoes.
"It's really exciting looking at how both of these papers have produced the same results，" says Mark Johnson，who studies eDNA at Texas Tech University.While hopeful about the future of airborne eDNA，Johnson notes huge leaps need to be made before the techniques used in the zoo can be applied in the field.Collecting eDNA in the wild adds a host of new variables. "The next step is to take it from the zoo into the natural environment and see what we find there，" says Johnson.

14．（2025 端州区二模） You won't find tigers jumping through fiery hoops in the wild or bears riding bicycles.Wild elephants don't walk around on two legs and wild sea lions don't balance balls on their noses for fun.These are the kinds of animal acts you may have seen at the circus.
However，the wild animals in circuses are extremely stressed by circus conditions.The loud noise of the music，the cheers of the crowd and the dizzying lights all disorientate（失去方向）and cause stress to wild animals.Over long periods，this can result in abnormal behaviors and health problems related to anxiety.While it is possible that domesticated dogs could enjoy the stimulation of certain types of circus training and performance，for wild species such as tigers，bears and monkeys，performing on stage can get them deeply hurt.The movements and poses are completely unnatural and can cause physical injury and stress.When circus animals don't perform the trick right，they are often beaten as punishment.
The living conditions at circuses consistently fail to meet the animals' most basic needs.When the show stops，the animals typically return to isolation in small，barren cages which give them no opportunity to carry out behaviors natural to their species，or to interact with their own kind.While not performing，the animals have nothing to do but stare at the walls.Many are limited to living in dark places with no daylight，no sunlight，and no exposure to the outside for stimulation.They live mind﹣numbing，boring，completely unnatural lives.
Traveling circus animals can spend up to 11 months of the year on the road.They are limited inside very small stalls or cages，traveling for thousands of hours，over very long distances.It's disturbing，unnatural，frightening and stressful for them.Nearly all circus animals are chained up and immobilized while traveling.Traveling poses many physical risks to them，including accidents，injuries，heart stroke and overheating，unusual cold and freezing temperatures that can make them sick，loud noise and general discomfort.
（1）Why are animals in circuses unhealthy both mentally and physically？ 　 　
A．Because of their abnormal behavior.
B．Because of their performances on stage.
C．Because of their punishment from trainers.
D．Because of their unnatural living conditions.
（2）What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？ 　 　
A．The animals' basic needs when a show stops.
B．The animals' living state when they do not perform.
C．The animals' mental state when they are travelling.
D．The animals' daily interactions when they are caged.
（3）What does the underlined word "immobilized" in paragraph 4 mean？ 　 　
A．Fixed in a place.
B．Delivered to a place.
C．Trained by someone.
D．Followed by someone.
（4）What's the author's attitude towards those animals in circuses？ 　 　
A．Indifferent.
B．Annoyed.
C．Sympathetic.
D．Opposed.
15．（2025 昆明一模） In work and in life，we are constantly taught that acting early is the key to success，because"he who hesitates is lost."But surprisingly，as I've studied originals，I've learned that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the disadvantages.It's true that the early bird gets the worm，but we can't forget that the early worm gets caught.
Recently，an unusually creative doctoral student named Jihae Shin approached me with an idea contrary to common sense：procrastination（拖延） might be helpful to originality.Shin proposed that when you put off a task，you buy yourself time to engage in different thinking rather than on one particular idea.As a result，you consider a wider range of original concepts and ultimately choose a more novel direction.I challenged her to test it.
Shin asked college students to write proposals for a business to fill a lot vacated （空出） by a convenience store.When they started the task immediately，they tended to propose conventional ideas.When Shin randomly assigned some of the participants to procrastinate，putting off the task to play computer games like Minesweeper，FreeCell，and Solitaire，they produced more novel business ideas，like a tutoring center and a storage facility.The research suggested that the proposals from the procrastinators were 28 percent more creative.
Although we were excited by these results，the experiment showed that neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity.When people played the games first，before learning about the task，they didn't submit more novel proposals.To do that，they needed to actually be procrastinating while playing the games，keeping the business proposal task in the back of their minds.Delaying progress enabled them to spend more time considering different ways to accomplish it，rather than"seizing and freezing"on one particular strategy.
Being original doesn't require being first.It just means being different and better.
（1）What do most people think about the key to success？ 　 　
A.The quick﹣footed arrive first.
B.Strike while the iron is hot.
C.The early worm gets caught.
D.Actions speak louder than words.
（2）How did Shin make his idea convinced？ 　 　
A.By writing a proposal.
B.By doing a questionnaire.
C.By interviewing the students.
D.By conducting an experiment.
（3）How can creativity be boosted according to the text？ 　 　
A.Acting without hesitation.
B.Playing computer games.
C.Taking a break before starting.
D.Delaying with the task at heart.
（4）What does the text mainly talk about？ 　 　
A.Early action is crucial to success.
B.Procrastination may lead to originality.
C.Creativity can result in Delaying.
D.Success is distinguished by original minds.

17．（2025 湖南模拟） I'm a single dad raising a son，so I usually helped my child select my Father's day gifts，and then paid for them.When my son was a high school senior，he took control of the gifting by offering to drive us to Denny's for breakfast.But the evening before the holiday，I couldn't sleep.What kept me awake was the realization that this would be the last Father's day before my kid left for college.
It truly felt like I had just taken the training wheels off my son's bike.In my household，the fridge door is the all﹣knowing parental focus holding the academic and sports schedules，the school lunch menu，and the family calendar.Also attached to it are photos，awards，artwork，and the "good" report cards.The refrigerator is a super﹣sized memory book of my son's life.
I began to go through the objects of significant emotional value，which required me to pull the fridge out because all the baby items were pushed to the sides.As I checked the golden oldies，I quickly realized three things.First，I had too many photos.Second，I needed to clear up the sides of the refrigerator.Third，soccer was a big part of our lives.
I never played or watched soccer before parenthood.Yet，I became the coach for all his teams until he reached middle school.Back then I assumed it was my fatherly duty to support my son's activities，but now I understood that I was wrong.After years of supporting，guiding，and loving my son，I finally recognized that taking part in my son's life on any level was not a duty—it was an honor.
I time﹣traveled through mementos（纪念品），and each memory helped me understand what being a dad really meant Teenagers might not give us presents we want or need on Father's day.But they have already given us the best possible gift allowing us to feel what it's like to be their dad.

18．（2025 市中区校级模拟） What happens to old Olympics stadiums after the medals have all been awarded？Here are four host cities taking a different approach，repurposing their Olympics structures for less sporty uses.
Los Angeles，California
The Grand Olympic Auditorium was constructed in 1924，and after the Games it continued to host boxing and wrestling matches.The building even served as the film set for parts of Rocky.The venue was so well known around Hollywood﹣hosting greats like Cassius Clay，Rage Againstthe Machine，Andre the Giant and Little Richard.
Lake Placid，New York
Most people entering the now remodeled 1980 Olympic Village in Lake Placid are in a lot of trouble.It's not much of a surprise，though；this Olympic Village was built with a prison in mind，because the only way Lake Placid could get funding from the government for the Olympics was that they had a secondary purpose for any new buildings.Only the Federal Bureau of Prisons（FBP） offered to be the second use for the Village complex.
Beijing，China
After the 2008 Olympics in Beijing，the National Aquatics Center was restored.And half of it is now Asia's largest water park，called Happy Magic Water Cube.There are 13 waterslides，a lazy river，a wave pool and a spa.The second floor of the building has an auditorium with 17，000 seats.
Helsinki，Finland
Originally constructed in 1937，the Tennispalatsi was never meant to last as a permanent structure.It first housed a car dealership and was restored one year later to add four tennis courts as the city began opening various sports venues around town.Then the venue hosted basketball when the Games finally came to Helsinki in 1952.Now，the Tennispalatsi holds the Helsinki City Art Museum and several restaurants.
（1）Which Olympic stadium may appeal to movie star﹣chasers？　 　
A.The Tennispalatsi.
B.The Olympic Village.
C.The National Aquatics Center.
D.The Grand Olympic Auditorium.
（2）What was essential for the government to fund the1980 Olympic Village？　 　
A.Lake Placid promised to host a second Olympics.
B.Lake Placid could convince FBP to build a new prison.
C.The Olympic Village managed to solve all the troubles.
D.The Olympic Village could be used as a prison afterwards.
（3）Why was the Tennispalatsi in Helsinki restored in 1938？

C.To provide venues for basketball training.
D.To expand the business of a car dealership.
19．（2025 湖南模拟） Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn't worth living for a human being，implying that we should attempt to know ourselves，to think through our actions，choices，prejudices，and attitudes.But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well，it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.
Perhaps it's not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well﹣being.Doing things that enhance our growth in physical，social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good，and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities.Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy，and if we think too much，there is an opportunity cost﹣time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop.
The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports.One of his observations is that while sports people need to think about the basic actions they are performing，it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions.A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper，but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome.If he or she does start this sort of thought process，it very often leads to a poorer shot.What's needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation.
Perhaps something similar is going on in our life.Those people who start detailed programs of self﹣development in various dimensions，focusing on diet，habits，exercise，mental activity，work output，and so on are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements.Perhaps their well﹣meaning self﹣reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it，is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them.
（1）What may cause an opportunity cost？ 　 　
A．Spending time on worthy activities.
B．Joining in social meetings actively.

D．Doing physical exercises efficiently.
（2）Why does the author mention David's observations？ 　 　
A．To praise a wise philosopher.

20．（2025 市中区校级模拟） You're walking somewhere you've never been before and suddenly feel as though you've strolled down the same road already.You're experiencing the well﹣known phenomenon deja vu，but what is deja vu really，and why does the strange feeling happen？
Deja vu is the feeling that something a person is currently experiencing has already occurred in the past.Experts refer to this phenomenon as a memory illusion involving familiarity and unfamiliarity.It happens when an experience is familiar against people's knowledge that this sense of familiarity is inaccurate.
Some people experience deja vu to a frequent degree to them.Such cases can be caused by substance abuse，migraine（偏头痛） and anxiety.However，temporal lobe epilepsy is thought to be the principal cause of such frequent deja vu.It may arise from attacks in the brain's temporal lobe or disorder in brain regions involved in storing and recalling memory.However，deja vu is also experienced by individuals without epilepsy or other conditions，so there must be other explanations as to why it occurs.
One possible mechanism is the memory﹣based theory which centers on the role of familiarity and recognition in deja vu.This theory suggests that deja vu arises when a current situation shares similarities with a previously encountered but forgotten experience.It may result from our brain's attempt to make sense of these perceived similarities and create a feeling of recognition，even if we cannot consciously recall the original experience.
O'Connor，a lecturer at the University of St.Andrews in Scotland，and his team used a brain scanning technique to check which parts of the brain are active when deja vu is triggered in the lab From their result，it was not the hippocampus（海马体） that was active，but the medial prefrontal cortex，a region involved in resolving conflicts between what we remember experiencing and what we've actually experienced.This region of the brain shoots off a signal when such a mismatch occurs，and this may explain why deja vu is more common in young people than old.As a person gets older，deja vu is not as frequent because the general checking system is in decline.
（1）What is deja vu according to the text？　 　
A.A future prediction.
B.A new brain function.
C.A rare mental disease.
D.A memory confusion.
（2）What is the major cause of dejavu in some cases？　 　
A.Lack of sleep.
B.Temporal lobe epilepsy.
C.Intense headaches.
D.Addictive substance misuse.
（3）What does the memory﹣based theory focus on？　 　
A.When deja vu occurs.
B.Why dejavuis rare.
C.How deja vu is formed.
D.Where deja vu starts.
（4）Why is deja vu less common in old people？　 　
A.Memory fades in the hippocampus.
B.They are less sensitive to the outside.
C.Their medial prefrontal cortex declines.
D.They have fewer unfamiliar experiences.

参考答案与试题解析
一．阅读理解（共20小题）
1．（2025 沙坪坝区校级开学） The wind sweeps the Midwest plains as if it is searching for someone or something to carry away.The Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for generations，and now，it seems that the winds have brought back one of their own.Susan La Flesche has returned to the village where she was born.Not as a visitor，but as the region's only doctor.
When Susan was 8 years old，she waited at the bedside of an elderly woman writhing（扭动） in pain.A doctor was called for.They waited.A messenger was sent.The doctor still didn't come.Susan provided what comfort she could through the night，but by sunrise，the elderly woman had died.The episode both haunted and motivated Susan.She threw herself into her studies and earned her way to college.
Susan would never forget the childhood she enjoyed and the people she loved.But there was further to go.She enrolled in the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania，a boring train ride away from the world she knew.It was 1886，and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women.In her graduation speech from Hampton，she told the East Coast audience， "Give us a chance."Three years later，she became a doctor.
Returning to the plains to serve her people was a difficult task.She opened an office and began seeing patients.The lines were long，old and young seeking help for various diseases.Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow，walking miles to make house calls.Her work was more than as a physician.She often acted as lawyer，accountant，counselor and even priest（牧师） as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world and she was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.
（1）What contributed to Susan's being a doctor？ 　D　
A.Her family's poverty and struggle.
B.Her desire for medical knowledge.
C.The opposition to women's progress.
D.The poor medical resources in her hometown.

D.To show her adaptability in fulfilling various roles within her community.
（4）What could be the best title for the passage？ 　B　
A.A Force of Nature：Dr.Susan La Flesche's Impact
B.Winds of Change：Dr.Susan La Flesche's Legacy
C.The Adaptable Doctor：Dr.Susan La Flesche's Success
D.Whispering Winds：Dr.Susan La Flesche's Mysterious Journey
【答案】DDCB
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了 SusanLa Flesche成为医生的故事，她因为小时候目睹一位老人因缺乏医疗资源而去世，决心学习医学，最终回到家乡为族人服务。她不仅是医生，还承担各种角色全心全意地服务于社区。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据原文第二段Susan provided what comfort she could through the night，but by sunrise，the elderly woman had died.The episode both haunted and motivated Susan.（苏珊整夜尽力提供安慰，但到了日出时，那位老妇人还是去世了。这一事件既困扰着苏珊，也激励了她。 ）可知，苏珊成为医生的原因是她家乡缺乏医疗资源，导致她目睹了一个生命的消逝。故选D项。
（2）推理判断题。根据原文第三段It was 1886，and the Victorian age held stiff against the progress of women.（那是 1886年，维多利亚时代对女性的进步有了强烈的抵制。）可以推断，苏珊在大学生活中遇到了困难，因为当时的社会环境对女性并不友好。故选D项。
（3）推理判断题。根据第四段中的Susan worked long hours at her office but also braved the wind and snow，walking miles to make house calls.Her work was more than as a physician.She often acted as lawyer，accountant，counselor and even priest（牧师） as she helped the Omahas navigate the new world and she was determined to spend her entire life helping her people navigate the storms.（苏珊在办公室工作很长时间，但她也勇敢地冒着风雪，走几英里路去上门看诊。她的工作远不止一个医生那么简单。她还经常充当律师、会计、顾问甚至是牧师，帮助奥马哈人适应新世界。苏珊 拉弗莱舍博士下定决心要用她的一生来帮助她的人民渡过难关）可知，Susan不仅是一名医生，还扮演各种等角色，全心全意地为社区服务，可推理出第四段的写作目的是为了强调她全心全意服务社区的奉献精神。故选C项。
（4）标题判断题。根据第一段可知，本文主要讲述了苏珊 拉弗莱什博士如何克服重重困难，成为奥马哈部落地区唯一的医生，并全心全意为部落人民提供医疗服务的故事。她的故事如同一股变革之风，吹拂过平原，改变了人们的命运。因此，B项"Winds of Change：Dr.Susan La Flesche's Legend（变革之风：苏珊 拉弗莱什医生的遗产）"最能概括文章的主题。故选B项。

2．（2025 沙坪坝区校级开学） Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares.This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well﹣being for the human population.Researchers at the Technical University ofMunich （TUM） have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna（动植物）.They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature﹣focused approach to the design of public spaces.
Together with his team，Wolfgang Weisser，Professor of Terrestrial Ecology at TUM，looked at such factors as size，the occurrence of lawn，plant and tree growth，artificial light sources and green in the surroundings of the 103 public squares in Munich.The squares varied from almost entirely sealed（封闭的） to park﹣like squares.
Their results show，with Munich as an example，how greatly the different spaces can differ in the animals and other organisms that can live there.At the heavily sealed Marienplatz，the researchers counted only 20 species，with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat species.Meanwhile，at Pfrontener Platz，a space with lawns，bushes and trees，they found 156 taxa，including 21 different kinds of birds.At Johannisplatz，118 species are present，as it has trees，hedges and some grassy areas despite being sealed to a relatively large extent.
Unsurprisingly，more plants are beneficial to many animal species.This is a factor that urban planning models already take into account.However，the study also shows that lawns，trees and bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract.So far，public spaces are designed with humans in mind，with little consideration to animals and other species.
The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if，instead of applying the same patterns to every location，planners take into account the local conditions and the needs of different species.To encourage more bee species，for example，they should not only plant nectar﹣bearing flowers，but also provide open space as habitat for bees and a source of nest﹣building material.
（1）What does the study at TUM focus on？ 　C　
A.The best locations for flora and fauna.
B.Factors to be considered in square design.
C.The impact of local conditions on biodiversity.
D.The best way for humans and flora and fauna to get along.
（2）What can we know from paragraph 3？ 　B　
A.Animals expand in sealed parks.
B.Open parks support more biodiversity.
C.Open parks are not fit for birds to stay.
D.Closed parks are as good as open ones.
（3）What does the study say about urban greenery？ 　A　
A.It varies in attracting species.
B.It will replace artificial lights.
C.It has nothing to do with species.
D.It is well planned in urban buildings.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？ 　D　
A.Enhancing Urban Development：Considering Local Species'Needs
B.Human﹣animal Coexistence：Integrating Nature into City Designing
C.Urban Ecosystems：Challenges for Plants and Animals in Urban Spaces
D.Biodiversity in the City：Designing Urban Spaces for Humans and Animals
【答案】CBAD
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了慕尼黑工业大学（TUM）的研究，探讨了城市公共空间设计中考虑当地条件和不同物种需求的重要性，以促进生物多样性。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Animals and plants also live and thrive on public squares.This creates opportunities for greater biodiversity and well﹣being for the human population.Researchers at the Technical University ofMunich （TUM） have studied at 103 locations in Munich how various factors affect flora and fauna（动植物）.They advocate a close examination of local conditions and a more nature﹣focused approach to the design of public spaces.（动物和植物也在公共广场上繁衍生息。这为人类创造了更大的生物多样性和福祉的机会。慕尼黑工业大学（TUM）的研究人员在慕尼黑的103个地点研究了各种因素如何影响动植物。他们主张密切检查当地条件，并采取更注重自然的方法来设计公共空间。）可知，TUM的研究集中在设计公共广场时，影响动植物的各种因素上。故选C项。
（2）推理判断题。根据第三段At the heavily sealed Marienplatz，the researchers counted only 20 species，with just one bird and moss species as well as insects and bat species.Meanwhile，at Pfrontener Platz，a space with lawns，bushes and trees，they found 156 taxa，including 21 different kinds of birds.（在高度封闭的玛丽恩广场，研究人员仅计算出20个物种，包括仅有一种鸟类、苔藓物种以及昆虫和蝙蝠物种。与此同时，在拥有草坪、灌木和树木的普弗龙纳广场，他们发现了156个分类单元，包括21种不同的鸟类。）可知，开放的公园支持更多的生物多样性。故选B项。
（3）细节理解题。根据第四段Unsurprisingly，more plants are beneficial to many animal species.This is a factor that urban planning models already take into account.However，the study also shows that lawns，trees and bushes vary widely in terms of the diversity and numbers of the species they attract.（不出所料，更多的植物对许多动物物种都有益。这是城市规划模型已经考虑到的一个因素。然而，研究还表明，草坪、树木和灌木在吸引物种的多样性和数量方面存在很大差异。）可知，城市绿化在吸引物种方面存在差异。故选A项。
（4）标题归纳题。根据最后一段The researchers concluded that the chances for greater biodiversity are increased if，instead of applying the same patterns to every location，planners take into account the local conditions and the needs of different species.（研究人员得出结论，如果规划者不仅仅在每个地点应用相同的模式，而是考虑到当地条件和不同物种的需求，那么增加更大生物多样性的机会就会增加。）可知，整篇文章主要讨论了城市空间设计中考虑当地条件和不同物种需求的重要性，以促进人类和动物的共存。故选D项。
【点评】做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。
