First, a sincere thank you to the neighbors who have reached out over the past few months. We’ve heard from many of you — even a note tied to a rock thrown through our window! Now, a quick update: we’ve taken our new year lights down.
It wasn’t easy. Our lights had been up since December, nearly six months as part of our household. We were touched by the heartfelt concerns like, “ARE YOU KEEPING THEM UP FOREVER !!!”
We hoped these lights, bought on a sale, would inspire us and find their forever home. But there were problems: the sizzle, the smell, the mosquitoes, and one green bulb (灯泡) that went on and off for no reason. We sought help, but Shiny Brite Light Installations wanted to charge us an arm and a leg. Luckily, we discovered we could simply remove it. We knew it would upset the color arrangements by having two red bulbs together, but it was the only option. Dealing with the messy wires was another tiring challenge. We asked ourselves, “What are we doing wrong ” I remembered falling into bed one night and saying to my husband, “Is it us ” His answer: “No. It’s those lights. We should take them back.”
Returning them Unthinkable. Mainly because I’d lost the receipt, or because what kind of people would return a used item Actually, neither. The lights were up, they were part of us now, and up they would stay.
Eventually, we relaxed and enjoyed the days as time passed. As temperatures rise, colorful flowers are perfect decorations now, but what about the lights still playing new year songs when sensing every Amazon delivery truck Not so much.
Contrary to your whispers, we haven’t returned the lights. They’ve been rehomed in the basement, for now. Don’t worry. We remain committed to these lights. They are part of our family, even if they’re no longer on display — at least until late November.
24. How do the writer’s neighbors find her new year lights
A Artistic. B. Annoying. C. Traditional. D. Inspiring.
25. According to paragraph 3, which was a problem with the lights
A. A part posed a safety risk. B. Their colors were boring.
C. A bulb flashed unpredictably. D. Their wires were exposed.
26. Why did the writer decide not to return the lights
A. She regarded it a tiring challenge. B. She lost the receipt for them.
C. She considered it impolite. D. She grew attached to them.
27. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. This November will witness new lights delivered
B. The basement will be the lights’ forever home.
C. Lights are perfect symbols of season changes
D. The writer still plans on putting the lights up.
C
When it comes to navigating (导航) areas, past studies showed that the abilities don’t truly kick in until 12. However, a new study has revealed that children aged 5 can find their way around large spaces.
The researchers involved with this study previously concentrated on three regions of the adult brain that help navigation: PPA, which lets us recognize places and assign them to different categories, RSC, which maps these places within a larger space and OPA, which keeps us from running into objects. In 2024, they found that the system associated with OPA doesn't fully develop until the age of 8. However, they theorized that younger children must still be able to create a map of their surroundings, even before they can walk well.
The new study confirmed that RSC is already well-developed in children younger than 8. The results come from an interesting experiment involving five-year-old participants who became familiar with a virtual location called “Tiny Town” full of entertaining landmarks like ice cream stores, playgrounds and fire stations. “We want to get answers, but it’s also important that participants have a good time and a good impression of science,” said Yaelan Jung, first author of the study.
Then the researchers conducted fMRI scans (磁共振扫描) on the children, during which they participated in a game-like task where they were shown images from Tiny Town and pressed a button if the images accurately related. Data from the scans proved that the children were able to create a map in their minds, using RSC in their brains to facilitate navigation in larger spaces.
The next step, the researchers say, is to look into the brain development of toddlers (学步孩童) with cleverer strategies. “It’s stimulating to explore how humans use different parts of the brain for complex behaviors and how that changes with age and experiences,” Jung said in a press release. “We’re also laying the groundwork for clinical applications.”
28. According to the new study, why can five-year-olds navigate large areas
A. They can mentally map a large environment.
B. Their OPA region has developed to the full.
C. Their PPA region helps them avoid objects.
D. They can walk well by recognizing places.
29. Why did the researchers design Tiny Town
A. To confirm the accuracy of fMRI scans.
B. To improve kids’ scientific competence.
C. To make the experiment engaging for kids.
D. To adjust kids’ emotion before the experiment.
30. What are Yaelan Jung’s words in the last paragraph mainly about
A. Influence of research strategies. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Demand for a larger sample size. D. Solid evidence of the findings.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Brain Development: A Magic Solution
B. Young Children: Natural Navigators at Age 5
C. Tiny Town: A Key to Unlocking Brain Secrets
D. Three Regions: Core Parts for Mapping Places
D
Australians are not, as they sometimes joke, the only people to eat their symbolic national animal. But the hunting of kangaroos causes debates Down Under. Many believe the kangaroos destroy grasslands and cause crashes by jumping in front of cars. Animal-rights types argue killing them is inhumane (不人道的), and that kangaroo meat is full of bacteria. But both sides are mad about a new film, which shows cruel killing and suggests that hunting is reducing the population. “We’ve learned how polarising the subject is in Australia,” Mick McIntyre, one of its makers, told a local paper.
Annual surveys suggest that there are more than 47 million kangaroos bounding through the wild. Animals, like dingoes, which feed on them, are becoming rare, so when the grass they eat is sufficient, their numbers jump. State governments have long set “harvesting” quotas (定额) to keep the four most populous species in check. But some ecologists suggest that the hunting is damaging, and that the population estimates are over-optimistic.
Those in favour of hunting point out that Australia earns $175m from it annually. And some scientists argue that kangaroos are a more sustainable source of protein than cows or sheep. Yet the industry is under pressure abroad. Heartwarming campaigns have turned shoemakers against kangaroo leather and weakened foreign appetite for the meat. Russia, once the biggest consumer of kangaroo meat, has issued a ban out of concern for food safety. In the eight years since it first did so, the value of Australia's kangaroo-meat exports has fallen sharply.
As a result, professional hunters were paid less than before. And they killed 1.4 million kangaroos in 2016, a fifth of the permitted maximum. But a higher kangaroo population simply means that more will die in the next drought, says George Wilson of the Australian National University, Worse, he says, in Queensland, landholders have been accused of poisoning kangaroos and building fences to prevent them from reaching water. The back and forth is endless.
32. What does the underlined word “polarizing” in the first paragraph probably mean
A. Abstract. B. Divided. C. Innovative. D. Amazing.
33. According to the text, what is a reason for kangaroo population increase
A. The ban on hunting quotas. B. Their diverse species.
C. Their bounding abilities. D. The decline of natural enemies.
34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Why kangaroo development should be sustainable.
B How kangaroo goods market expands abroad.
C. Why some people support kangaroo hunting.
D. How exports of kangaroo products suffer.
35. How would George Wilson describe the situation kangaroos face
A. Out of the frying pan, into the fire. B. The survival of the fittest.
C. While the cat is away, the mice will play. D. Let sleeping dogs lie.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It started with a whisper. “Everyone else got one,” my daughter said to me, her eyes locked on the floor. “I was the only one who didn’t.”
____36____ The one everyone was talking about in the lunch line and on the walk home. The one that she heard would have unlimited cupcakes. The one she didn’t get an invitation to.
There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that happens when your child feels excluded (排除在外的). You don’t just witness their disappointment; you absorb it.____37____“I’m sure it wasn’t personal,” I said softly. “Sometimes kids are only allowed to invite a few people.” But the words felt weak, like a Band-Aid on a big and deep cut.
This experience could have easily been about how to handle exclusion as a parent — how to build resilience (韧性). But what I've learned is less clean than that.____38____You can’t smooth every rough edge. Sometimes, your job is just to sit beside your kid in the thick of it. To let them cry.to let yourself feel angry, and to know that fixing it isn’t always the assignment.
____39____She wrote a little note for the birthday kid. “Happy birthday,” it read. “Hope you have fun.” No bitterness. Just kindness. My daughter, in all her smallness, did what I hadn’t even figured out how to do yet: move forward without letting the hurt define her.
And maybe that's the only real takeaway I have. That sometimes, our kids teach us the wisdom we’re still trying to learn.
She never got that invitation. But what we gained quietly was something else: the chance to walk through disappointment together, hand in hand.____40____
A. After all, honesty is the best policy.
B. Part of parenting is being powerless.
C. At first, I tried to say something to comfort her.
D. I encouraged her to show forgiveness to the kid.
E. And that, to me, feels like something worth celebrating.
F. The birthday party was definitely to be one to remember.
G. What surprised me most was what happened the next day.

67. 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 all began with a “fun” indoor hockey tournament (曲棍球锦标赛) for U11, U12, and U13 kids. The organizers even encouraged U10 players to join, so naturally, the boys and girls I coached jumped at the chance. They loved hockey, but most had never played indoors before — not even once. They didn’t even have a goalkeeper. “No problem,” the organizers promised us. “You can put an extra player on the field.”
On the day of the tournament, we found out our U10 team was drawn into a group with U13 players — many of them were provincial-level stars. It was going to be a mismatch, to say the least. But our kids They were excited. They wanted to try, and they were ready to face whatever came their way.
That was, until the first whistle (哨声) blew.
When the older kids, skilled and confident, began flicking (挑击) the ball with incredible force our kids had to dive and duck because they had no protective masks (面罩) on their faces. With no goalkeeper to protect the net, they had no choice but to block the shots (射门) with whatever they had — arms, legs, and pure willpower. But still, it was a one-sided killing, with my little players struggling to fight a losing battle.
I looked at the organizers, hoping they would step in. But their response was cold. “This is just a fun tournament,” they said, “but there are prizes. Flicking stays.”
And so, our young team faced wave after wave of nonstop shots from players much older and stronger. Each time the ball slipped past them and a goal was scored, I saw something in their eyes-although they didn't look for sympathy, that cager search for hope was clearly weakening. None of the parents, teachers, or schoolmates seated aside was making a sound. It seemed the entire arena (竞技场) was in dead silence.
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。
I couldn’t just stand there, doing nothing.
