(2025·嘉兴模拟)
Early in my teaching career I managed to inadvertently (无意地) get most of the students in my economics class mad at me, and for once, it had nothing to do with anything I said in class. The problem was caused by a midterm exam.
I had composed an exam that was designed to distinguish among three broad groups of students: the stars who really mastered the material, the middle group who grasped the basic concepts, and the bottom group who just didn't get it. To successfully accomplish this task, the exam had to have some questions that only the top students would get right. The exam succeeded in my goal—there was a wide distribution of scores—but when the students got their results they were in an uproar (喧嚣). Their principal complaint was that the average score was only 72 points out of a possible 100.
What was odd about this reaction was that the average numerical score on the exam had absolutely no effect on the distribution of grades. The norm at the school was to use a grading curve in which the average grade was a B or B＋， and only a tiny number of students received grades below a C．
Finally, an idea occurred to me. On the next exam, I made the total number of points available 137 instead of 100. This exam turned out to be slightly harder than the first, with students getting only 70% of the answers right, but the average numerical score was a cheery 96 points. The students were delighted! No one's actual grade was affected by this change, but everyone was happy.
In the eyes of an economist, my students were “misbehaving”. By that I mean that their behavior was inconsistent (不一致的) with the model of behavior that is at the heart of what we call economic theory. To an economist, no one should be happier about a score of 96 out of 137 (70%) than 72 out of 100, but my students were.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者是一位大学老师。他第一次命题考试，学生的平均分是72分，学生普遍感到不满；第二次考试，他改变了策略，结果学生都很满意。
1．What can we learn about the midterm exam？(　　)
A．It was very difficult indeed.
B．It had a high average score.
C．It was intended for top students.
D．It failed to reach the author's goal.
解析：A　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，学生的平均分是72分，学生普遍抱怨试题太难。故A项正确。
A
2．What did the author do with the next exam？(　　)
A．He lowered the level of difficulty.
B．He reduced the number of questions.
C．He enlarged the distribution of grades.
D．He changed the total number of points.
解析：D　细节理解题。根据第四段可知，在下一次考试中，作者并没有降低试题的难度，只是改变了试卷的总分，将原来的100分变为137分。故D项正确。
D
3．What does the author think of the students' behaviour？(　　)
A．Sensible.
B．Ridiculous.
C．Easy to change.
D．Hard to understand.
解析：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，在经济学家眼里，没有人会因为在137分(70%)中得了96分而比在100分中得了72分更高兴。这说明经济学家会认为学生们的表现很荒唐。故B项正确。
B
4．What does the author intend to reveal by writing the text？(　　)
A．A new type of exam system.
B．A new way to grade students.
C．A wrong mode of thinking.
D．An interesting economic theory.
解析：C　推理判断题。综合全文可知，本文想告诉我们的是：100分中的72分和137分中的96分几乎一样，但学生们的反应却大相径庭(前者沮丧后者开心)。因此本文揭示的核心是我们普遍存在的一种认知误区和思维偏见。故C项正确。

I'm in a meeting when my phone starts to flash with notifications. While the meeting is important, I'm distracted and want to pick up the phone to find out more. Is it a new job announcement from a friend Something terrible has happened Every second I'm not sending a message, I'm being a bad friend. I become anxious, and I'm praying the meeting ends sooner.
It is the emotional rollercoaster ride of being a modern group chat member, and I'm not alone in these feelings. Research conducted by Three UK found 50% of British adults struggle to keep up with the speed of these virtual conversations and feel pressured. But why exactly does this occur
“When I'm busy and see a ton of messages coming through, I get stressed that I'm missing something big，” says Jasmine, 31. “Not participating in a group chat can also be overwhelming because then you've got loads to catch up on and it's turned from reading just one or two messages to a short story.”
Besides being overwhelming, there's a lack of real connection, too. “Group chats can make us feel like we're surrounded by people, yet still somehow on the outside，” says psychotherapist Abby Rawlinson. “If everyone is chatting and you're not part of the flow—or your message gets no replies—it can awaken the quiet ache of invisibility.”
For Madhura, 31, this has felt particularly exasperating at times. “I find messaging in group chats can make you feel like you're not quite on the same page. Group chats can turn friendly jokes into hurtful messages. A group chat may be used to gossip about a friend who's not there. Leaving a group chat can also feel like you're creating an opportunity for those who are left to gossip about you，” Madhura says.
“Texting is such a ‘thin’ form of communication. In person, you have tone of voice, facial expressions, and eye contact—all the rich human signals that help us interpret meaning. On a screen, you just get the words themselves，” Rawlinson explains. “So don't fall into a pit of self-criticism when a message goes without a reply. Group chats can't truly measure your friendships. They're just a tool to stay connected.”
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了群聊在人际关系互动中会给人们带来复杂的负面情绪。
5．What is becoming a common phenomenon？(　　)
A．Group chats block in-depth talks.
B．Group chats break up friendships.
C．Group chats bring negative emotions.
D．Group chats disturb the work-life balance.
解析：C　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Research conducted by Three UK found 50% of British adults struggle to keep up with the speed of these virtual conversations and feel pressured.”以及后文描述的群聊带来的焦虑、不知所措、被孤立等负面情绪可推知，群聊带来负面情绪正成为一种普遍现象。故选C。

(2025·长沙市名校联考)
When she was young, Gesang would stare at the snowy peaks around Lhasa, her birthplace on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. But as she grew older, she noticed the snow disappearing, leaving the mountains with gray and green rocks climbing higher where white once lay.
“I was wondering，” she said, “Why is this happening What can I do about this？”
In 2020, Gesang moved to Madison to pursue a master's degree in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she conducted research on how one could use climate data to change building energy design.
“Buildings have been designed for the past climate because all those building design standards we have are calculated from historical climate data，” she said. “So what we are thinking is, as the climate is changing, if we use projected climate data to calculate those building design requirements, how different would the buildings be Would our current heating and cooling systems have any problems in the future climate？”
“By the end of the twenty-first century，” she said, “building cooling in Madison will be very similar to Montgomery, Alabama, while building heating will be very similar to Louisville, Kentucky.” This means that building design will need to change. If Madison requires less heating, its buildings could switch from natural gas to electric heat. Current cooling systems might also be undersized for the warmer climate in the future, which could cause them to underperform or fail.
“The implications are huge，” said Dan Vimont, Gesang's advisor. “Other researchers have only studied certain design standards or limited themselves to specific buildings. Gesang's research, however, covers the city of Madison and will expand to the buildings across the east coast before projecting how climate change will affect building design in the entire United States. While other studies typically use a single climate model, which causes biases (偏差), Gesang's averages from 24 models.”
“I found that climate change is not only about climate，” Gesang said. “It is a huge, complicated topic that involves every aspect of our lives.”
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了藏族女孩格桑由家乡雪山变化引发的对气候变化的思考，后赴美攻读大气科学并开展气候适应性建筑设计研究的成长经历。

(2025·湖南省雅礼中学冲刺训练)
A study led by UC Riverside (UCR) atmospheric scientists predicts that unchecked carbon emissions(排放物) will force tropical rains to shift northward in the coming decades, which would profoundly impact the regions near the Earth's equator.
The northward rain shift is caused by complex atmospheric changes. These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence (汇集) zones. Those zones are essentially atmospheric engines that drive about a third of the world's rainfall, which Antony P. Thomas, a professor of climate change and sustainability at UCR reported in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.
Tropical rainforests can have as much as 14 feet of rain a year. “The rainfall change is enormous，” Antony said. “It's a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”
Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources. “This climate model included many components of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land. All these components are interacting with each other，” he said. “Basically, we try to simulate the real world. In the model, we can increase our carbon dioxide emissions from pre-industrial levels to much higher levels.”
The analysis accounted for how carbon emissions influence the amount of radiant energy at the top of atmosphere. It also considered the changes in sea ice, water vapor and cloud formation. These and other factors resulted in conditions that push the rain- forming convergence zones northward by as much as 0.2 degrees on average.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。一项研究预测，不受控制的碳排放将迫使热带降雨在未来几十年内向北移动，将对地球赤道附近的地区产生深远影响。
5．What may be the main cause of the rain shift？(　　)
A．The rainforests.
B．Carbon emissions.
C．The Earth's equator.
D．Economic growth.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段中“These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence(汇集) zones.”可知，雨带的移动主要是由碳排放引起的。故选B。
B
6．How does Antony feel about the rain shift？(　　)
A．Confused. B．Grateful.
C．Worried. D．Indifferent.
解析：C　推理判断题。根据第四段的“‘The rainfall change is enormous，’ Antony said. ‘It's a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.’”可知，Antony认为一个小小的转变会导致社会经济的巨大变化。它将影响许多地区。因此推断Antony对雨带的移动感到担忧。故选C。
C
7．Which word can best describe the study？(　　)
A．Comprehensive. B．Widespread.
C．Fruitful. D．Historic.
解析：A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中内容可知，研究使用了“先进的计算机模型”以及考虑了多个影响因素，可见这项研究是全面的。故选A。

(2025·湖北省八市高三联考)
Over the past few weeks, I've been experiencing a bad fall, largely attributed to my ADHD (多动障碍) drugs running out. This has made it challenging for me to find the motivation to tackle daily tasks, including regular exercise.
However, a recent workout led to an__epiphany:__neglecting physical activity was actually worsening my condition. It appears that engaging in physical activity could be an effective strategy for managing my ADHD symptoms while I await a prescription refill.
After a workout, my mind feels quieter, much like when I take my medication. This makes sense as ADHD drugs increase levels of a brain medical called noradrenaline (去甲肾上腺素), enhancing focus, memory, and impulse control. Exercise also increases this chemical.
While these insights are promising, I'm not ready to stop my medication. Research on exercise and ADHD has mixed results. A 2023 review of 106 studies showed exercise significantly improves impulse control, attention, and task-switching in young people with ADHD.However, its impact on regulating emotions and working memory is less pronounced, and the benefits are even less for adults. In another study, 10 minutes of exercise improved impulse control in 82 adults with ADHD but had no effect on other symptoms.
These findings suggest that exercise has a modest effect on ADHD but highlight additional benefits beyond physical health. The evidence is particularly strong for depression and anxiety. A 2023 review of nearly 300 trials involving over 15，800 adults found physical activity as effective as talk therapy and medications in reducing symptoms. The benefit was stronger when combined with these treatments.
Exercise may also alleviate symptoms of other mental health conditions, such as bipolar disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It appears protective as well. A 2018 study of over 12 million adults found that those who exercised experienced 43 percent fewer days of poor mental health than those who didn't. The link was strongest for team sports, cycling, and aerobic and gym activities.
I'm relieved to have found a strategy for managing my ADHD symptoms without medication. Even though exercising is the last thing I want to do when overwhelmed, I now realize its importance. The benefits of exercise for mental health are clear, and I'm committed to making it a priority in my life.

You're in the middle of the afternoon, eyelids heavy, focus slipping. You close your eyes for half an hour and wake up feeling recharged. But later that night, you're tossing and turning in bed, wondering why you can't fall asleep. That midday nap (小睡) which felt so refreshing at the time might be the reason.
Most people experience a natural decline in alertness in the early afternoon, typically between 1 pm and 4 pm. This isn't just due to a heavy lunch—our internal body clock, or circadian rhythms (生理节奏), creates cycles of wakefulness and tiredness throughout the day. The early afternoon lull is part of this rhythm, which is why so many people feel drowsy (昏昏欲睡的) at that time. Studies suggest that a short nap during this period—ideally followed by bright light exposure—can help counteract fatigue, boost alertness, and improve cognitive function without interfering with nighttime sleep. These “power naps” allow the brain to rest without slipping into deep sleep, making it easier to wake up feeling refreshed.
But there's a catch: napping too long may result in waking up feeling worse than before. This is due to “sleep inertia”—the dizziness and disorientation that comes from waking up during deeper sleep stages. Once a nap extends beyond 30 minutes, the brain transitions into slow-wave sleep, making it much harder to wake up. Studies show that waking from deep sleep can leave people feeling sluggish for up to an hour. And if a nap is taken too late in the day, it can eat away from the “sleep pressure build-up”—the body's natural drive for sleep—making it harder to fall asleep at night.
To nap effectively, timing and environment matter. Despite the benefits, napping isn't for everyone. Age, lifestyle and underlying sleep patterns all influence whether naps help or hinder. A good nap is all about strategy—knowing when, how, and if one should nap at all. For some it's a life hack, improving focus and energy. For others, it's a slippery slope into sleep disruption. The key is to experiment and observe how naps affect your overall sleep quality.

James Harrison, Australia's most frequent blood and plasma (血浆) donor known as the “Man with the Golden Arm”， died at 88 on February 17，2023. Over 60 years, he donated blood and plasma 1，173 times—every two weeks from 1954 to 2018—saving an estimated 2.4 million babies from a serious blood disorder called hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). This condition occurs when a mother's blood type conflicts with her baby's, causing the mother's immune system to attack the unborn child. Harrison's plasma contained a rare substance called anti-D antibody, discovered in the 1960s, which became essential in preventing HDFN.
Harrison's dedication began with a life-changing event: At 14, he needed surgery to remove a lung and received nearly two gallons of donated blood. This inspired him to give back, even though he feared needles. “I wanted to help others like those who saved me，” he said. Starting at 18, he became Australia's first regular anti-D donor, switching to plasma donations after doctors found his rare antibody. His donations created over 3 million anti-D treatments since 1967, helping about 45，000 mothers and babies yearly through a small group of fewer than 200 donors.
Though awarded Australia's Medal of the Order in 1999, Harrison stayed humble. “I'm just a donor sitting in a room with snacks，” he told NPR in 2015. His family continued his legacy: His daughter Tracey, who needed anti-D during pregnancy, and grandson Scott, who donated alongside him during his 1，000th session, followed his example. Harrison kept donating even after his wife Barbara's death, stopping only when Australia's rules required donors to retire at 81.
At his final donation in 2018, surrounded by mothers holding babies he saved, Harrison said, “I'd keep donating if they allowed me.” His legacy lives on through the “James in a Jar” project by the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, which aims to create his antibody artificially to prevent HDFN worldwide. Lifeblood CEO Stephen Cornelissen praised Harrison's “kindness, humility, and lifelong mission to save lives”. His story shows how one person's generosity can inspire global change, proving that ordinary actions can achieve extraordinary things.

Programing Intern (实习). I wasn't sure why this job announcement appeared on my screen. I was looking for a real job, not an internship.
I had been looking for a part-time job and making no progress at all. Overeducated forty-nine-year-olds who have been out of the traditional workforce for fifteen years are not a hot commodity on the job market.
I couldn't help but read the description on the job board. “Interns will create an educational program for their local national wildlife refuge.” Then, I looked at the qualifications. “Enthusiastic people who are great at written communications.” Check. “Previous experience in environmental conservation or any science coursework.” Uncheck.
Not a single aspect of my job or educational experience matched these requirements. I figured I was too old, too unqualified. I must give up the absurd thought of trying.
However, another strong inner voice can sound, too. All I could hear was one thing：Apply for the internship! I looked at the job announcement one more time. It asked for a brief description of my relevant experience. I had no idea what to write. Anyhow, I finished my résume, sent in my application that same morning and soon forgot about it.
Two days later, I got an interview request for the next day. It was a video interview, something I had never done before. I couldn't believe I was contacted at all. I changed my shirt four times before the call. I tested the camera angle in numerous spots in my house, trying to decide which lighting made me look less old.
“Hi, Denise! We are super excited you applied to intern with us. A real writer! Your résume is just fantastic，” Lynnea welcomed me warmly. And then she asked me some questions about my personal experiences and expectations.
That same night, I received the email. “Congratulations! We would love to offer you the position as Programing Intern with our team.”

(2025·济宁模拟)
I was recently on a crowded flight home from California, and holiday travel was busy and chaotic. I counted three different occasions of children having emotional breakdowns—one at the security checkpoint and two on the plane. I couldn't help but notice people in line commenting, “Can't that mom get a handle on her child？” “That kid needs some discipline！”．.. These people seemed to suggest that these awful holiday travel circumstances should somehow be tackled with grace and ease.
To her credit, the mother of the toddler (学步儿童) in the security line kept her cool despite the sweat on her brow and her reddened face. As a mom who was constantly peppered with comments from well-intentioned friends who thought they were in possession of the recipe for perfect parenthood, I was all too familiar with her situation.
I might have been one of those judgmental folks before having my own children. Today I'm much more understanding. Raising children is hard, and every child and family situation is extremely unique. The reality of our hustle-culture and the lack of resources prohibits many people from being the kind of parents they would really like to be. Judgment certainly isn't helpful, only causing a feeling of shame.
As is echoed in the article Reimaging Shame, Author Jan Bonhoeffer states, “Left unexamined, shame can cloud our self-view, leaving us convinced that our worth is conditional. It whispers lies: ‘You'll never be good enough.’ And when shame continues, it can lead to self-abandonment.” The role of motherhood is both complex and challenging, so any attack on a mother will get her loaded with shame, and shame is disempowering. The last thing women need is more disempowerment.
Whoever coined the phrase, “Everyone you meet is facing an invisible battle. Be kind, ” was accurate. The least we can do is suspend our tendency to judge one another, replace it with a mindset of compassion, and resolve to do a better job empowering the other women in our lives through intentional action or advocacy.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章以作者在假日旅行中看到孩子情绪崩溃及旁人对母亲的评判这一现象为切入点，通过阐述自己的经历和感受，引用他人观点，分析了评判带来的不良影响，进而提出应停止评判、以同情之心对待母亲等观点。
4．What can be inferred from paragraph 1？(　　)
A．It's easy to be an armchair critic.
B．Bystanders see most of the game.
C．There is no life without discipline.
D．Criticism is a cornerstone to growth.

The history of Hollywood can be told as a series of technological breakthroughs, and each time something new comes along, the industry reorganizes itself. Past breakthroughs, though, have narrower impacts: home video changed movie distribution, digital cameras changed movie production, computer-generated imagery (CGI) changed visual effects. The difference here is that AI has the potential to destroy many places in our production process. AI is developing so rapidly that it's difficult to predict how it will end and which aspects of the film-making process it will destroy first.
Yet the reality of AI's adoption within Hollywood so far has been considerably less frightening. What was described as an industry earthquake has been more like a slow leaching (渗透) into the topsoil. It's everywhere and it's nowhere. It's invisible and it's all over the screen. “Many people think that if you type ‘movie’ and press enter, you get a movie，” says Cristóbal Valenzuela, the co-founder of Runway, whose AI-video-generation engines are among the most widely used. “The moment you start using it, you understand: Oh, it's full of shortcomings.”
The critical limitation with generative-AI tools for now is the absence of control. CGI requires hundreds of artists, working one scene at a time—but “you control every pixel (像素)，” says Oded Granot, a visual-effects artist working on a Oscar-winning team. Making images with AI requires just a simple prompt (指令). “You write: ‘I want Spider-Man hanging from a building，’ and it generates it，” Granot explains. But that still leaves countless decisions up to the machine, and you're stuck with the output. What does the building look like How is he hanging Upside-down Sideways And that's a single still image, not a film.
Over several months of talking to people around Hollywood about AI, I noticed a pattern: The people who knew the least about its potential uses feared it the most; and the people who understood it best, who had actually worked with it, had the most faith in human creativity, as well as the most doubt about generative AI's ever replacing it. It was the future of Hollywood, and it looked like its past.

When Martin Roth started as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest to ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it's more about planning for an uncertain future. “It's disaster management，” says Roth, for whom the 3，000 acres of forest serve as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger”．
After a severe storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees should be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which grow in dead trees and can destroy entire forests. While it once took Roth about 2.5 hours to cover an acre on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3，000 acres in several days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, inform owners of affected plots, and send updates to workers.
Roth's exploration goes beyond drones. His recent project is combining body camera with AI. “Usually you mark the trees, they're cut down, and you have no idea how much wood you'll get, what quality, and which species，” he explains. AI now “sees” through his body camera, recognizes tree species, estimates wood production, and sends real-time information to his phone.
Since up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended dry periods, Roth has also begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. As forest areas expand, interventions are needed, but there aren't enough employees to keep it all straight. “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it's lost，” he says.
Roth's expertise in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after—colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on the topic at universities. But he warns that technology can never replace a wander through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.”

Water temperatures in and around Australia's Great Barrier Reef have risen to their warmest in 400 years over the past decade, placing the world's largest reef under threat, according to the research published recently.
The reef, the world's largest living ecosystem, stretches for some 2，400 kilometers off the coast of the northern state of Queensland. The research is rare in putting the effects of man-made climate change into historical context, as other surveys on damage to the reef have a shorter time frame.
A group of scientists at universities across Australia drilled cores into the coral and, much like counting the rings on a tree, analyzed the samples to measure summer ocean temperatures going back to 1618.
Combined with ship and satellite data going back around a hundred years, the results show ocean temperatures that were stable for hundreds of years begin to rise from 1900 onwards as a result of human influence, the research concluded. From 1960 to 2024, the study's authors observed an average annual warming form January to March of 0.12 ℃ per decade.
Since 2016, the reef has experienced five summers of mass coral bleaching, when large sections of the reef turn white due to heat stress, putting them at greater risk of death. These summers were during five of the six warmest years in the last four centuries, the study showed.
Coral reefs protect shorelines from erosion, are home to thousands of species of fish, and are an important source of tourism revenue in many countries. At least 54 countries and regions have experienced mass bleaching of their reefs since February 2023 as climate change warms the ocean's surface waters, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has said.
The Great Barrier Reef is not currently on UNESCO's list of world heritage sites that are in danger, though the UN recommends it should be added. Australia has lobbied (游说) for years to keep the reef—which contributes $4.2 billion to the economy annually—off the endangered list, as it could damage tourism.

(2025·山西省部分学校巩固提升卷)
As dust from the Sahara blows thousands of kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean, it becomes progressively more nutritious for marine microbes (海洋微生物), a new study suggests.
“Dust clouds settling on the Atlantic can generate phytoplankton (浮游植物) blooms that support marine ecosystems，” said Timothy Lyons, a scientist at the University of California, Riverside. “Iron in the dust is incredibly important for life，” he said. Phytoplankton require it to change carbon dioxide into sugars.
Over 240 million metric tons of Saharan dust blows over the Atlantic Ocean each year. To know whether the types of dust settling on the Atlantic had changed over the past 120，000 years, Lyons and the marine geologist Jeremy Owens, analyzed dust-derived (灰尘衍生的) minerals in four cores collected from the muddy seafloor—two in the eastern Atlantic near Africa, and two from farther west near North America.
In dust worldwide, approximately 40% of iron is ordinarily present within “reactive” minerals like pyrite. This kind of iron can break down with weak acids and potentially be used by life. In the core samples from the bottom of the Atlantic, only about 9% of iron in the dust minerals sampled from farther west consisted of reactive iron minerals, compared with about 18% in dust minerals taken from closer to Africa.
“There're photochemical transformations that tend to make the iron more soluble (可溶解的) in water，” said Lyons. He and Owens concluded that during the dust's several-day transatlantic flight, more and more of its reactive iron was changed—attacked by acids and radiation. As that improved iron later settled into the ocean, it was eaten directly by phytoplankton. The only reactive iron that made it to the seafloor was the stuff that wasn't changed during air transport, and wasn't taken in later.
“The new results are plausible because previous studies have shown that iron minerals react in the atmosphere，” said Natalie Mahowald, an atmospheric scientist who studies dust at Cornell University. “Their conclusion goes along with what I thought was happening，” she said.

5．Why is iron important for marine ecosystems？(　　)
A．It makes carbon dioxide more.
B．It leads to the absorption of sugars.
C．It protects phytoplankton from attack.
D．It provides nutrition for phytoplankton.
解析：D　细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Iron in the dust is incredibly important for life，’ he said. Phytoplankton require it to change carbon dioxide into sugars.”可知，铁元素对浮游植物至关重要，它能帮助浮游植物将二氧化碳转化为糖类，为浮游植物提供营养。故选D。
D
6．What can be concluded from the findings of the research？(　　)
A．Weak acids seldom change reactive iron minerals.
B．The dust minerals from farther west are rich in iron.
C．The fewer minerals there are, the more sensitive weak acids are.
D．The farther the desert dust flies, the less the reactive iron is left.
解析：D　推理判断题。根据第五段中“He and Owens concluded that during the dust's several-day transatlantic flight, more and more of its reactive iron was changed—attacked by acids and radiation.”可知，沙尘中的活性铁在穿越大西洋的过程中，逐渐被酸和辐射改变，即沙漠尘埃飞得越远，剩下的活性铁就越少。故选D。
D
7．What can be learned from paragraph 5？(　　)
A．How phytoplankton make it to the seafloor.
B．How reactive iron cooperates with radiation.

Just because our plant friends live inside with us doesn't mean that they have forgotten what it is to be a plant. They may not react to the seasons as dramatically as their cousins outside do. __1(____)__ So if you are mad about an unhappy plant in winter, take it easy! Here are four important things to get your green babies to spring.
Water less frequently. Since plants are considerably less active during the winter months, they do not need as much water. Root-ruining overwatering is one of the most common causes of death for indoor plants. This doesn't mean completely ignoring them, but only water when the soil is dry. __2(____)__
B
G
Watch the humidity (湿度). Many houseplants like to live in humid environments. In winter, with heaters and fireplaces burning, a lack of humidity can be a problem. __3(____)__ As we know it tends to be one of the more humid places in a house. You can also increase humidity by grouping plants together to create a microclimate or use a humidifier near them.
__4(____)__ While houseplants may love the windowsill for its light, they do not love the windowsill for its drafts and cold air. Likewise, they don't love being near heat sources like heating pipes, radiators, and fireplaces. In a perfect houseplant world, day temperatures should range from 65 ? to 75 ? and drop to no lower than 50 ? at night.
C
A
Dust and tidy-up regularly. We generally think that insect problems would be more a problem in summer. But as it turns out, houseplants are more sensitive to insects in winter because they go into that state of dormancy (冬眠). __5(____)__ So make sure you're wiping the leaves regularly with a damp cloth. And remove any dead or yellowing leaves with a pair of clean, sharp scissors.
A．Keep a steady temperature.
B．But they still feel the changes.
C．Put your plants in your bathroom.
D．It is normal and crucial to change the pots.
E
E．Insects love to hide in the dust on the plant leaves.
F．You can expect a decline in growth and even leaf drop.
G．You can test this by putting your finger 2 inches into the soil.

(2025·湖南长郡中学高考英语押题卷)
Abbas El-Said, an Egyptian tour guide, has become a living bridge between China and Egypt through his passion for cultural exchange. His story, reported twice in People's Daily (in 2012 and 2023), reflects his dedication to connecting the two ancient civilizations.
Abbas's love for China began in childhood after reading a book about the East. Later, he studied Chinese at Ain Shams University, where he practiced thinking in Chinese to master the language. His efforts paid off, and after graduating in 2006, he pursued tourism studies, becoming a professional Chinese-speaking guide in 2009.
In 2010, Abbas worked as an assistant director at the China Cultural Center in Cairo, calling it “a window to Chinese culture”. For three years, he organized events like the Chinese New Year temple fair, introducing Egyptian students to traditions such as the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. A photo of him teaching these stories appeared in People's Daily in 2012, which he still treasures today.
Abbas sees the BRI (China's Belt and Road Initiative) as a modern revival of the ancient Silk Road. He highlights its benefits for Egypt, including the Central Business District in Cairo—home to Africa's tallest building—and the 10th of Ramadan Light Rail, built with Chinese technology. “My life is splendid because of the BRI，” he says, noting how these projects create jobs and improve infrastructure.
With tourism between Egypt and China growing, Abbas now guides 2－3 Chinese groups monthly. He plans to start a company to further strengthen cultural and economic ties. Meanwhile, Chinese language learning is booming in Egypt. Since September 2022, Chinese has been taught in secondary schools, reflecting the country's enthusiasm for deeper cooperation.
Abbas believes mutual understanding starts with people. His journey—from a curious child to a cultural envoy—shows how individual passion can foster friendship between nations. As he puts it, “The strongest potential of Sino-Egypt cooperation lies in people-to-people bonds.”

(2025·福建六校联考)
There are special moments in history when the world throws up a torrent of genius. Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach. Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison.
But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the “Axial Age”. It's here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today.
Modern humans have been around for roughly 250，000 years, and we've lived in complex societies for at least 6，000 years. Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought. From roughly 800 BCE to 200 BCE, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas.
In Greece, we saw the likes of Socrates, Archimedes, Hippocrates, Plato, and Aristotle. In the Middle East, we got Jewish prophets like Isiah and Ezekiel, as well as Zoroaster in Persia. In India, we got the Buddha and the writing of the Hindu Upanishads. And in China, Confucianism and Daoism came into their own, as well as the famous Sun Tzu.
Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese. What could Lao Tzu's Dao and Aristotle's Eudaimonia have in common How are Yahweh and Brahman similar For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found.
The greatest of these is the move toward what's called “universalism”. Universal truths, universal religion, and universal morals. It's the idea that there are certain values and rules that ought to apply to everyone, everywhere, no matter the circumstances.
The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population. It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty. This means several important things happened.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。“轴心时代”这一概念由德国哲学家卡尔·雅斯贝尔斯(Karl Jaspers)提出，它指大约公元前800年至公元前200年之间的一段历史时期，是人类文明发展的一个重要阶段。
5．What does the underlined word “pales” in paragraph 2 mean？(　　)
A．Becomes more obvious.
B．Becomes less important.
C．Becomes less interesting.
D．Becomes more influential.
解析：B　词义猜测题。根据“It's here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today.”和作者下文提到的“轴心时代”的人物可知，第一段提到的这些人物比起“轴心时代”的先哲们就相形见绌了。故B项正确。
B
6．What was the Axial Age mainly about？(　　)

B．Political campaigns.
C．Scientific achievements.
D．Geographic discoveries.

B．The difference between them.
C．The diversity of their thoughts.
D．The significance of their contributions.
解析：A　细节理解题。根据第五段中“For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found.”可知，Jaspers重点强调了这些“轴心时代”伟大先哲们思想的共同之处。故A项正确。
A
