A few years ago, I had the opportunity to go on a wildlife tour in southern Africa where our spotlight lit up a smaller hunter — African wildcat. The more I thought about those African wildcats, the more I’ve been amazed at their evolutionary (进化的) success. The African wildcat is the ancestor of our beloved household pets. And despite changing very little, their descendants have become among the world’s two most popular companion animals — cats and dogs.
Household cats are quite expressive to their human companions, using different meows (喵) to communicate different messages. However, this is not an example of their treating us as part of their kind. Quite the contrary, cats rarely meow to one another. The sound of these meows has evolved to more effectively communicate with us.
Cats similarly manipulate people with their purrs (呼噜声). When they want something, they purr extra loudly. And this purr is not the pleasant purring of a content cat, but a higher-pitched electric saw br-rr-oom demanding attention. Scientists digitally compared the sound qualities of the two types of purrs and discovered that the major difference is that the demanding purr includes a part very similar to the sound of a human baby crying. People, of course, are born to pay special attention to this sound, and cats have evolved to take advantage of this sensitivity to get our attention.
Of course, that won’t surprise anyone who’s lived with a cat. Although cats are very trainable — they’re very food motivated — cats usually train us more than we train them. As the old saying goes, “Dogs have owners, cats have staff.”
4. What does the underlined word “descendants” mean
A. Relatives. B. Ancestors.
C. Previous owners. D. Later generations.
5. What does meowing of household cats indicate
A. It’s a skill they use to communicate with humans.
B It’s a way they communicate with cats.
C. It’s less expressive than wildcats’ meowing.
D. It indicates cats see humans as their kind.
6. What is the difference between two types of purr
A. The demanding purr is more pleasant. B. The demanding purr sounds like a baby’s cry.
C. The content purr sounds like an electric saw. D. The content purr is harder to hear.
7. Which statement is true according to the last paragraph
A. Cats see humans as owners. B. Cats and dogs are equally loyal.
C. Humans are like staff to cats. D. Humans train cats more.
C
Global warming is mainly driven by greenhouse gases, but nature fights back with carbon sinks, places that absorb more carbon than they release.
Forests are one of these natural carbon sinks. However they are difficult to study thoroughly, especially in the complex landscapes of China. With so many plant types, measuring each one takes a lot of time and effort.
To solve this problem, two students from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Middle School in Zhongshan, Guangdong, built a predictive model. Their idea won the Excellent Poster Award at the 2025 International Congress of Basic Science (ICBS).
“We’ve learned that trees take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用),” said 17-year-old Ouyang Anduo, one of the students who won the award. “But this was our first time studying a forest, a complex system with many factors to consider.”
To narrow the scope, they focused on one very important factor — forest canopy (冠层) height. This factor shows the forest’s health, helping people understand its carbon storage and adjust their strategies to maintain ecological balance, protect species diversity, regulate climate and more.
Forest canopy height directly affects the accuracy of carbon storage estimation and biodiversity assessment, but it can be influenced by many variables, which makes it difficult to determine the relationships among them. “Then we thought of machine learning. Why not let a model learn on its own ” said 17-year-old Li Xiaoyong, another award-winning student. They integrated Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) LiDAR data with multi-source environmental variables such as climate, topography (地形) and soil. The model then identified patterns and made predictions.
But teaching a model to learn was not easy. At times, the algorithm fit too closely to its training data, leaving it unable to make accurate predictions with new data. “We spent a long time finding solutions and adjusting the model,” said Ouyang. “This made me feel like a real scientist, handling each step with great rigor and patience.”
8. What’s the purpose of the two teens building a predictive model
A. To measure plant types faster. B. To study forests more efficiently.
C. To win an international competition. D. To solve the problem of global warming.
9. Why did they focus on canopy height
A. Because it’s vital in carbon storage.
B. Because it helps protect species diversity.
C. Because it is difficult to study thoroughly.
D. Because it reflects multiple aspects of forest health.
10. What does Ouyang imply in the last paragraph
A. Students should try hard to be scientists.
B. Scientists should make accurate predictions.
C. Society should show respect for science.
D. Students should learn the true spirit of scientists.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Why Forests Are So Important
B. The Study of Forest Canopy Height
C. Teens Win an Award for Forest Research Model
D. How to Build a Predictive Model Effectively
D
What did you have for breakfast today And how did you celebrate your last birthday When you think back to these events, you’re using episode memory (情景记忆) — the ability to recall personal experiences tied to specific times and places. But how does your brain keep these memories separate without mixing them up
Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the US believe this is thanks to a“memory reset button” in our brainstem. This small region, called the locus coeruleus (蓝斑核), helps organize and separate our memories.
In the study, 36 volunteers took part in a memory task. Lying in an MRI scanner, they were shown a series of pictures of different objects. Meanwhile, several simple tones were played over and over again, first in one ear and then in the other with a different pitch. The pitch change aimed to change the context and create what is known as an event boundary. Event boundaries help the brain organize episode memory by changing our perception and attention.
After the experiment, UCLA scientists tested how well the volunteers could recall the order of the pictures. The result showed that it was harder to do when the series of pictures crossed an event boundary. This suggests that changes in sound made the brain store memories separately. What’s more, MRI scans showed that the locus coeruleus became highly active when event boundaries appeared, but not so much otherwise.
Earlier research showed that the hippocampus (海马体), helps shape episode memory by both linking events close together in time and separating those further apart. But what tells the hippocampus when to change modes MRI scans suggest that “the locus coeruleus may provide the critical ‘start’ signal to the hippocampus, as if saying, ‘Hey, we’re in a new event now’,” said Lila Davachi, one of the researchers.
The new understanding could lead to better treatment for memory-related problems like Alzheimer’s disease, where the locus coeruleus is overactive. These conditions might be managed by calming the locus coeruleus through medication, slow breathing or even using stress balls.
12. What is the function of the locus coeruleus
A. To create event boundaries. B. To store long-term memories.
C. To enhance memory accuracy. D. To help separate memory events.
13. What can be inferred about the “event boundary”
A. It made memory recall easier. B. It broke continuous memory flow.
C. It was created by a change in attention. D. It’s controlled only by the hippocampus.
14. What does the author advise people to do about future Alzheimer’s treatment
A. Repair the hippocampus. B. Remove event boundaries.
C. Adjust locus coeruleus activity. D. Use MRI scanners almost daily.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. How event boundaries separate daily memories.
B. The hippocampus links and separates different events.
C. The locus coeruleus helps organize episode memories.
D. Sound changes create boundaries between memories.

We get frustrated all the time. The line won’t move. The WiFi won’t work. From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is in our daily life.
____16____ Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate. Now scientists are uncovering its surprising upside. Frustration can be transformed into motivation, pushing people to optimize solutions to overcome difficulties. So how can we employ the unexpected upsides of feeling frustrated
·____17____
Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough. ____18____
·Acknowledge obstacles to be functional.
The first step is being aware that everything has roadblocks — work, learning a new hobby, or even re-learning the skill you once mastered. Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits. ____19____ If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth, especially when you are told they are necessary parts of progress.
·Analyze the signal from the situation.
When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions. ____20____ In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth.
Keep in mind that by reflecting on the obstacles, learning from the experience and applying the gained knowledge to subsequent challenges, you can truly benefit from frustration.
A. Look on frustration from a different angle.
B. Regard frustration as an academic challenge.
C. There is a reason for the existence of frustration.
D. Furthermore, you will center on practical solutions.
E. On a regular basis, it’s not going to get you to feel right at first.
F. Therefore, such a struggle isn’t a setback but proof of personal growth.
G. In short, frustration is of vital significance in developing our hands-on ability.

The English writing competition drew near. Jack, who had always struggled to put his thoughts into coherent words, determined to turn to AI for help.
He simply input the given theme of the competition, added a few key words, and hit “generate”. Much to his delight, in less than 5 minutes, the screen lit up. A vivid and well-structured essay was presented. Jack was amazed by how effortlessly the well-chosen words flowed on the page. Without a second thought, Jack signed his name and submitted the piece, ignoring the tiny voice of guilt from the bottom of his heart.
His essay stood out among hundreds of entries and was selected to represent the school in the municipal-level contest. When his English teacher Ms. Cathy, called him to her office, Jack’s heart skipped a beat. With a gentle but firm tone, Ms. Cathy looked straight into his eyes and asked, “Jack, I need you to tell me the truth — did you write this essay entirely on your own ” The question hung in the air, heavy and inescapable. Jack’s mind went blank for a moment. The thought of losing the chance to compete, of being laughed at by his classmates for cheating, overwhelmed him. Taking a shaky breath, he kept his eyes off the teacher and nodded, “Yes, Ms. Cathy. Every word is mine.”
Ms. Cathy nodded, seemingly satisfied, and patted his shoulder, “That’s great. Your genuine hard work will pay off. This essay has a unique perspective, and I’m sure it will shine at the municipal contest.” But Jack didn’t feel any joy. On the contrary, a sense of guilt weighed heavily on him. That night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The lie he had told kept echoing in his ears. He thought about Ms. Cathy’s trusting eyes, about the meaning of the competition, and about how proud he would have felt if he had written the essay himself. He was torn between the fear of being exposed and the desire to do the right thing.
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。
The next day, Jack went to the teacher’s office.

New Gaokao Listening Reform
Last weekend, our school held a lecture on the new Gaokao listening reform for Senior 3 students, who attended it with great enthusiasm.
The lecturer explained the switch to the computer-based English listening test, introducing its differences in operation and audio from the traditional one. He also shared practical mindset adjustment strategies, like taking deep breaths to stay calm.
This lecture was really helpful. Not only did we clearly understand the reform, but we also gained valuable listening skills. We all felt grateful for the school’s timely guidance, which gave us more confidence for the coming exam.

【47 题答案】
【答案】 The next day, Jack went to the teacher’s office. His hands trembled as he knocked on the door. When Ms. Cathy looked up, he took a deep breath and confessed, “I didn’t write the essay myself — I used AI.” Tears welled up in his eyes as he explained his struggle with writing and his regret. To his surprise, Ms. Cathy smiled gently. “Honesty takes courage, Jack,” she said. “Let’s work together to improve your writing skills. The competition is about growth, not just winning.” Relieved, Jack felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
The day to announce the results of the contest came. Though Jack’s essay was disqualified, Ms. Cathy praised his integrity in front of the class. Later, she handed him a new assignment — a handwritten essay on “The Value of Honesty.” This time, Jack poured his heart into it. Weeks later, his revised work won a school award. Standing on the stage, he realized true success came not from shortcuts, but from effort and honesty. The applause he received felt sweeter than any trophy.
