A 16-year-old girl from Changsha, Hunan province, successfully reached the top of Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, on Monday morning,
becoming the youngest Chinese female to conquer (征服) the world’s highest top from the southern slope (坡).
Xu Zhuoyuan is a first-year high school student from Hunan province. On April 15, she left Changsha for Nepal. On April 21, she began her long walk from Lukla.
On April 28, she arrived at the base camp and started her altitude adaptation training at once. At 10 pm Beijing time on May 14, Xu started walking from Camp 4 at an
altitude of 7,950 meters on the southern slope of Qomolangma. After a punishing 10-hour climb, she successfully reached the summit.
Xu Zhuoyuan’s father, Xu Jianglei, was the first person from Hunan province to reach the top of Qomolangma. Xu Zhuoyuan has been exploring remote areas with
him since she was very young. Despite her young age, Xu Zhuoyuan has already
climbed five mountains over 5,000 meters in China. When she was 12 years old, she
试卷第 4 页，共 13 页
made a statement on Hunan TV saying, “I will climb Qomolangma.”
Four years later, she achieved her promise. Although Xu Zhuoyuan has rich
climbing experience, she has been experiencing high-intensity professional training non-stop to conquer Qomolangma. Last year, she climbed Mount Muztagata, which stands 7,546 meters. “Human beings are small in the face of nature. We should
respect nature and get closer to Qomolangma,” said Xu Zhuoyuan.
She brought the gloves her father used when he reached the top with her as a
form of inheritance and to bear witness to her own dream coming true. After finishing her university studies, she hopes to continue climbing and achieve the “7+2” (7 tops plus the North and South Poles).
4 ．When did Xu Zhuoyuan arrive at the base camp
A ．On April 15. B ．On April 21. C ．On April 28. D ．On May 14.
5 ．Which word can best describe Xu Zhuoyuan
A ．Honest. B ．Clever. C ．Creative. D ．Determined.
6 ．Why was Xu Jianglei mentioned in paragraph 3
A ．To describe his achievements. B ．To show his impact on his daughter.
C．To recognize his support for the girl. D．To stress girls should be taken good care of.
7 ．What’s the best title for the text
A ．A Great Father Shocks the Whole World
B ．Qomolangma Draws More and More People
C ．16-year-old Girl Tops World’s Highest Mountain
D ．Father and Daughter Conquer the Highest Mountain

Everyone has heard that it’s vital to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Get anything less, and you are more likely to suffer from poor health in the short and long term. But in recent years, scientists have discovered a rare group of people who
consistently get little shut-eye and are no worse for wear.
Natural short sleepers, as they are called, are genetically wired to need only four
试卷第 5 页，共 13 页
to six hours of sleep a night. These exceptions suggest that quality, not quantity, is
what matters. If scientists could figure out what these people do differently, it might, they hope, provide insight into sleep’s very nature.
Ying-Hui Fu, a human geneticist and neuroscientist at UC San Francisco, recalls there is one family whose members woke up early but didn’t go to bed early, and felt refreshed after only about six hours of sleep. They were the first people identified
with familial natural short sleep, a condition that runs in families like other genetic
features. Fu and her colleague Pta ek thought the short sleep originated from a
mutation (变异) in a gene called DEC2. The researchers went on to genetically
engineer the DEC2 mutation into mice, showing that the animals need less sleep than their littermates.
Over time, the researchers have identified seven genes associated with natural
short sleep. Like mice, people who are naturally short sleepers seem to be immune (免疫的) to the ill effects of short sleep. If anything, they do extraordinarily well.
Research suggests that such people are ambitious, energetic and optimistic, with remarkable recoverability against stress and higher thresholds (阈值) for pain.
But though sleep has a strong genetic component, it can also be shaped by the
environment. Knowing that better sleep is possible, and understanding the basis, could point the way to interventions to improve sleep, enabling more people to live longer, healthier lives.
8 ．What does the underlined part “no worse for wear” in paragraph 1 mean
A ．Unharmed. B ．Uncomfortable.
C ．Abnormal. D ．Exhausted.
9 ．What can we know about the mentioned family in paragraph 3
A ．They are early to bed and early to rise.
B ．Their sleep quality depends on the quantity.
C ．They are genetically built to require less sleep.
D ．DEC2 is a decisive factor in their health condition.
10 ．What is the ultimate goal of this research
试卷第 6 页，共 13 页
A ．To develop tools for editing sleep genes.
B ．To improve sleep quality for better health.
C ．To identify specific sleep-related genes.
D ．To create universal sleep reduction programs.
11 ．What can be a suitable title for the text
A ．Less Shut-Eye, Better Health
B ．Sleep Quality and Gene Mutation
C ．The ones Who Need Less Sleep
D ．The Hidden Costs of Short Sleep

“I’m dying of boredom!”complained Yelena, who performed in Chekhov’s
1897 play UncleVanya. “I don’t know what to do!” Of course, if Yelena were around today, she’d pull out her smartphone to find something amusing, like Tik Tok. It’s
easy to kill the time. However, is boredom entirely good for nothing What if it is a meaningful experience—one that leads us to states of deeper thoughtfulness or
creativity
That’s the conclusion of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers
asked a group of subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a
phone book, and then take tests of creative thinking, such as designing uses for a pair of cups. As a result, bored subjects came up with more ideas than a non-bored control group, and their ideas were often more creative. In the second study, subjects who
took an “associative thought” word test came up with more answers when they’d been required to watch a dull screensaver (屏保).
Boredom might bring creativity because a restless mind hungers for stimulation. “Boredom becomes a seeking state. What you’re doing now is not satisfying. So
you’re seeking and get engaged.” says Sandi Mann, a psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. Kierkegaard, a philosopher, described jokingly, “The gods
were bored; therefore they created human beings.” However, what worries Mann is that these days we don’t enjoy these slow moments. Instead, we resist them. “We try
试卷第 7 页，共 13 页
to beat every moment of boredom in our lives with mobile devices,” says Mann, who claims she often gets some of her best thinking done when she’s on the bus. “The
smartphone might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking that
can come from staring down the boredom. Noodling on your phone is like eating junk food.” she says.
So here’s an idea: instead of always fleeing boredom, lean into it. Sometimes, shutting down your Internet connection for a while will enforce a higher level of
productivity.
12 ．Why did Yelena make a complaint
A ．She was dying soon. B ．She forgot her smartphone.
C ．She hated her role in the play. D ．She was feeling too bored.
13 ．According to the study, who is more likely to be creative
A ．Someone waiting at a bus stop. B ．Someone lost in phone games.
C ．Someone busy with the work. D ．Someone reading a novel.
14 ．Why does psychologist Mann feel worried
A ．Because people get used to slow moments.
B ．Because people attempt to get rid of boredom.
C ．Because people become addicted to junk food.
D ．Because people are dependent on mobile devices.
15 ．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A ．Every State Counts B ．Watch Out for Boredom
C ．Gateway to Creativity D ．All Creativity Comes from Boredom

This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting; you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen 16
When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild
试卷第 8 页，共 13 页
acid that causes irritation (刺激) 17 This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry.
The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion, it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your eyes.
18 A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and
droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse.
Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. 19 If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that
make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp knife is a tool for both comfort and safety.
What is the best solution Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested
common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. 20 But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice.
A ．Onions can sometimes carry bacteria.
B ．Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions.
C ．This finding highlights the importance of your knife.
D ．In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away.
E ．For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier.
F ．Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason.
G ．This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode.

After my father passed away, I found his old journal in the attic. Its leather cover was worn, and many pages had come loose. Instead of placing it back in the dusty box, I felt a sudden impulse to it.
I visited a small bookbinding shop downtown. The elderly bookbinder, with gentle eyes, showed me how to the fragile pages. “Every old book holds a

In recent years, rural museums have become important across China. They help to protect local culture and support village development. By 2023, Yunnan Province in southwest China 36 (build) over 400 such museums. These museums don’t just show old objects; they 37 (true) involve local people in protecting their
cultural traditions.
These museums are special because they keep traditions in their real setting. For example, they might show an old farming tool together with stories told by village
elders, making the experience 38 (meaningful). This helps to keep the true meaning of culture, especially when traditional objects are taken from their original places. The museums also hold classes 39 skilled elders teach young people traditional skills, making sure these special traditions are saved for the future.
These museums also help the local economy. Many villages now combine
museum visits with fun 40 (activity) like pottery making. This way of mixing culture with tourism has become very popular and successful. 41 it also
brings a real economic benefit to local families through homestays and sales of local products.
Besides economic benefits, these museums help build community spirit. They make older people feel 42 (value) and give young people new chances by connecting traditional culture with modern life. In this way, the museum becomes 43 unique place that brings people together. However, 44 (keep)
being successful, these museums need to balance keeping old traditions and trying new things. 45 this balance, the museums might not be able to help their communities well in the long term.

47 ．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。
I felt looked down upon, degraded, and rejected that day in seventh grade. At
school and at home, I was constantly blamed for things I never did, feeling low,
embarrassed, and forever behind. Their opinions defined me — I truly believed I was worthless.
A new start came in Mr. Lee’s ninth-grade science class with a group project on insect behavior — a topic I’d secretly loved since childhood. I’d stayed up late
reading books, drawing sketches (草图) of ant groups, and even setting up a small
试卷第 12 页，共 13 页
observation box at home. As expected, when group formation began, I was left
standing alone. “She’ll just sit there doing nothing,” whispered Omar, a boy from the front row. My cheeks burned, and I slid my notebook into my desk, fighting back
tears. Just then, Mr. Lee walked over. He picked up my notebook — filled with
detailed sketches of ant groups I had been making for months. “I’ve been reviewing your observations,” he said, his voice warm and firm. “Your notes on the ants’
communication methods are remarkably precise, and your sketches show exceptional attention to detail. Seeing such a bright kid fills me with pleasure.”
The word “bright” deeply touched me. Fueled by this first-ever praise, I decided to work alone, spending every lunch break on my observations while others worked in groups.
One afternoon, I entered the lab to find my observation box broken, ants
running everywhere, and my precious notebook — the very proof of my “brightness”
— was torn apart. Omar called it an accident. I sank to the floor, tears streaming down my face, my hard-won confidence broken completely. I felt as worthless as I had in
seventh grade, unaware of Mr. Lee’s approach until his gentle voice pulled me from the darkness.
注意：1 ．续写词数应为 150 左右；
2 ．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“Your brightness isn’t torn like the notebook,” Mr. Lee said softly.

10 ．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Knowing that better sleep is possible, and understanding the basis, could point the way to interventions to improve sleep, enabling more people to live longer, healthier lives.(既然我们知道改善睡眠是有可能的，并且也了解其背后的原理，那么这或许能为改善睡眠的干预措施提供方向，从而让更多人能够过上更长寿、更健康的生活)”可推知，
答案第 2 页，共 11 页
这个研究最终是为了提高睡眠质量，从而促进身体健康。故选 B。
11 ．主旨大意题。根据第一段“But in recent years, scientists have discovered a rare group of
people who consistently get little shut-eye and are no worse for wear.(但近年来，科学家们发现了一群罕见的人群，他们几乎从不睡足觉，但却依然未受影响)”可知，本文介绍了研究发现，少数人因基因突变只需4-6 小时睡眠且健康，科学家希望通过解码其机制改善大众睡眠质量。由此可知，C 选项“那些需要较少睡眠的人” 能够引出文章话题，并涵盖阐述研究意义，综合概括全文，为最佳标题。故选 C。
12 ．D 13 ．A 14 ．B 15 ．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了研究发现无聊可能带来创造力。
12 ．推理判断题。根据第一段中““I don’t know what to do!” Of course, if Yelena were around today, she’d pull out her smartphone to find something amusing, like Tik Tok. It’s easy to kill the time. However, is boredom entirely good for nothing (“我不知道该做什么！”当然，如果叶莲娜今天还在，她会拿出智能手机找一些有趣的东西，比如抖音。消磨时间很容易。然而，无聊是完全无用的吗)”推知，叶莲娜抱怨是因为她很无聊，不知道该干什么。故选 D。
13 ．推理判断题。根据第二段中“In one, researchers asked a group of subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinking, such as designing uses for a pair of cups. As a result, bored subjects came up with more ideas than a
non-bored control group, and their ideas were often more creative.(在一项实验中，研究人员要求一组受试者做一些无聊的事情，比如从电话簿上抄下数字，然后进行创造性思维测试，比如设计一对杯子的用途。结果，无聊的受试者比不无聊的对照组想出了更多的想法，而且他们的想法往往更有创意)”可知，做无聊事情的受试者在之后的任务中更有创造力。结合第三段中““We try to beat every moment of boredom in our lives with mobile devices,” says Mann, who claims she often gets some of her best thinking done when she’s on the bus.(曼恩说:“我们试图用移动设备来打发生活中无聊的每一刻。”她声称自己经常在公交车上完成一些最好的思考)”可推知，一个在车站等车的人更有可能具有创造力。故选 A。
14．细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, what worries Mann is that these days we don’t enjoy these slow moments. Instead, we resist them. “We try to beat every moment of boredom in our
lives with mobile devices,” says Mann, who claims she often gets some of her best thinking done when she’s on the bus.(然而，让曼恩担心的是，如今我们并不享受这些缓慢的时刻。相反，我们抵制它们。曼恩说:“我们试图用移动设备来打发生活中无聊的每一刻。”她声称自己经

常在公交车上完成一些最好的思考)”可知，曼恩感到担忧是因为人们试图用一切方法来摆脱无聊。故选 B。
15．主旨大意题。通读全文， 并根据第一段中“However, is boredom entirely good for nothing What if it is a meaningful experience—one that leads us to states of deeper thoughtfulness or
creativity (然而，无聊是完全无用的吗？如果这是一种有意义的体验——一种引导我们进入更深层次思考或创造力状态的体验呢)”和第三段中“Boredom might bring creativity because a restless mind hungers for stimulation.(无聊可能会带来创造力，因为不安的大脑渴望刺激)”可知，本文主要介绍了研究发现无聊可能带来创造力。因此 C 项“创造力之门”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选 C。

gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes
irritation (刺激). (当你切洋葱时，你会破坏它的细胞，释放出形成气体的硫化合物。这种气体与你眼睛中的天然水分混合，产生一种引起刺激的弱酸。)”具体解释了切洋葱时流泪的化学原因，以及“The other major cause is tiny droplets. (另一个主要原因是微小水滴。)”指出了切洋葱时流泪的物理原因。选项 F“Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a

protective reaction, not an emotional cry. (这是一种保护反应，而不是情绪化的哭泣。)”说明这是一种保护反应而非情绪化哭泣。选项 D“In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the
irritant away. (作为回应，你的眼睛会产生眼泪来冲走刺激物。)”符合语境，进一步阐述了眼睛针对刺激产生眼泪这一保护反应的具体表现，与上下文紧密相连。故选 D。

make you cry, increasing infection risk. (如果存在细菌，这些细菌可以通过让你流泪的飞沫在你的厨房里传播，增加感染的风险。)”提到如果存在细菌，细菌会通过让你流泪的飞沫在厨房传播，增加感染风险。选项 A“Onions can sometimes carry bacteria. (洋葱有时会携带细

effective choice. (但是，为了更简单、有科学依据的方法来减少流泪和杂乱，锋利的刀片是你最有效的选择。)”提出了一种更简单且有科学依据的减少流泪和杂乱的方法，即使用锋利刀片。选项 E“For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier. (为了完全保护，
安全眼镜可以创造一个可靠的屏障。)”符合语境，提出了另一种防止切洋葱时流泪的方法，与后文使用锋利刀片的方法形成对比，共同围绕减少切洋葱时流泪这一主题展开。故选 E。

break, but your curiosity and eye for detail are part of you. Others’ unfair opinions never define who you truly are.” His support shifted my shaken self-belief at once. With his help, I glued the sketches, added new notes, and rebuilt the box with extra care. I taped my work to the lab wall, pride replacing despair, and resolved to turn this setback into strength, ready to show my true
worth in the upcoming presentation.
On presentation day, I proved my true worth through the restored project. I stood tall,
holding the durable box and repaired notebook, my voice clear. I explained ants ’ behaviors and
shared my story: I once let rejection make me feel worthless, but Mr. Lee’s support taught me that how I see myself matters most. “This failure was a tough test, but my hard work pulled me
through,” I declared. The class burst into applause; Omar whispered a soft sorry. I smiled,
grasping the truth: rejection never defines you, self-belief lights your way, and every failure is just a stepping stone to real success.
