Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·江苏省镇江五校联考)
Did you watch the popular TV series Meet Yourself during your winter vacation In the TV series, the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan province and volunteers at a local cafe. She gets free meals in return. As the show finds a growing audience, volunteer travel—an old yet modern form of travel similar to Xu's type of work—has attracted more attention.
Volunteer travel refers to taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity to help others. These volunteer trips are usually arranged by church organizations, human interest groups or nonprofit organizations, and they take form of equal exchanges. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted accommodation, meals and laundry, activities, or classes.
Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. However, just as what Meet Yourself describes, more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or regions the volunteers originate from in recent years. Sanlian Lifeweek magazine commented that volunteer projects in rural areas are now attracting more urban visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of urban living. Yang Yan, a founder of a volunteer platform, told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend for urban residents to volunteer in rural areas.
People try volunteer travel for several reasons. By working voluntarily while traveling, travelers may make a real, positive impact on the world. The services volunteers provide can be through charities with lower costs for the communities they serve. Another benefit of volunteer travel is that it helps urban residents to experience rural life. For those who are sick of urban pressure but can't make up their minds whether to move permanently to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution. In this way, as Yang comments, travelers can catch some relief from their busy lives, while rural communities also benefit by receiving more customers for local tourism industries and temporary high quality labor.

Our planet quakes thousands of times a year, but we still can't predict exactly when and where earthquakes will strike.What if animals' odd behavior could warn us
Researchers have reviewed hundreds of reports on pre quake abnormal animal behavior, but most were just anecdotes.Geologist Jim Berkland counted newspaper ads looking for runaway cats and dogs.On October 13, 1989, he told a newspaper reporter a big quake would strike in a week.Four days later, the Loma Prieta mega quake hit! But the scientific community still rejected Berkland's theory.He didn't document every prediction, so nobody could measure his accuracy rate.
Actual scientific evidence has to be repeatable.And a connection between a cause and an effect has to be shown to be stronger than random chance through careful experimentation and data collection.California researchers in the 1970s happened to have built controlled habitats to monitor the wheel running activity of pocket mice.These habitats happened to be in an active earthquake area.Then the 1971 San Fernando earthquake struck nearby.The researchers checked their data and found no big changes in how long the animals ran in their wheels or stayed underground before the earthquake activity.What might the next experiment show
Researchers from 150 universities worldwide are working on a new study called the ICARUS project.The project tracks many small animal species such as birds, bats, and turtles for the purpose of scientific research.One group of researchers is looking for possible connections between animal behavior and earthquakes.If they find a reliable connection, this could save hundreds of thousands of human lives.ICARUS aims to power an app that will give people hours to get to safety.
However, not everyone is hopeful.Geologist Wendy Bohon said that ICARUS is doing some“cool things”, but she knows animal behavior is hard to pin down.“ My cat could act crazily before an earthquake,” she says.“But it also acts crazily if somebody uses the can opener.”
语篇导读:本文主要介绍了研究人员对地震前动物异常行为的研究,以及希望能够提供准确的震前预警。
5.What does the underlined word“anecdotes”mean in Paragraph 2
A.Real life news stories.
B.Random individual studies.
C.Repeated scientific reports.
D.Unproved personal accounts.
解析:D 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Researchers have reviewed hundreds of reports on pre quake abnormal animal behavior”以及表转折的词but可知,这些地震前动物异常行为的报告大多是传闻,即未经证实的描述,D项符合题意。故选D。
6.Why was Berkland's theory rejected by the scientific community
A.He used unreliable data from newspaper ads.
B.His document wasn't consistent with his theory.
C.His study didn't include enough animal samples.
D.He failed to prove the accuracy of his predictions.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But the scientific community still rejected Berkland's theory.He didn't document every prediction, so nobody could measure his accuracy rate.”可知,科学界仍然拒绝接受伯克兰的理论,因为他没有记录每一个预测,所以没有人能衡量他的准确率。由此可知,伯克兰的理论被科学界拒绝,是因为他没能证明自己预测的准确性。故选D。
7.What is the ultimate goal of the ICARUS project
A.To provide accurate pre quake warnings.
B.To develop an app to call for help during quakes.
C.To seek worldwide cooperation in quake prediction.
D.To find connections between animal behavior and quakes.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,一组研究人员正在寻找动物行为和地震之间可能存在的联系。如果他们找到可靠的联系,这将挽救成千上万人的生命。ICARUS旨在驱动一款应用程序,让人们在几小时内到达安全地带。因此,ICARUS项目的最终目标是提供准确的震前预警。故选A。
8.What is Wendy Bohon's attitude toward the ICARUS project
A.Disapproving. B.Doubtful.
C.Intolerant. D.Unclear.
解析:B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,地质学家温迪·博洪认为动物行为很难确定,比如她的猫,在有人用开罐器的时候也表现得很疯狂。由此可推断,温迪·博洪对ICARUS项目表示怀疑。故选B。

1. Here are some of the most popular advice shared by psychologists to improve your mental health.
Three ways to stop getting up at night and improve sleep.
Everyone wakes up a few times per night. Cycling out of sleep roughly every 90 minutes to two hours is normal.2. We fail to get adequate quantities of the deepest stages of sleep.3. Minimize bathroom breaks by aligning (使一致) your biological clock with your intended sleep schedule. Treat your sleep apnea (睡眠呼吸暂停) by getting used to wearing a CPAP machine. Relax and work on feeling safer to sleep better.
Avoidance, not anxiety, may be damaging your life.
Anxiety is a common and discouraging symptom experienced by many individuals. However, there is a more subtle and unpleasant one.4. When we avoid certain situations and decisions, it can lead to more anxiety and problems.

Learn to recognize signs of gas lighting.5. Name the abuse. And use strategies such as getting out of the power struggle, checking in with your feelings often, and honoring your emotions to stop being subject to gas lighting.

C.It's called psychological avoidance.
D.Are you worried that someone you know suffers from mental problems
