At an altitude over 4,500 meters in Burang County, Ngari Prefecture, Southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, lies Mapam Yumco Lake. For over a decade, 42-year-old Dradul has dedicated himself to protecting the wetland around this precious lake as an ecosystem guardian.
Before becoming a guardian, he struggled with temporary jobs and hoped for a steady salary. Now, he earns a stable monthly income of 2,000 yuan and comes to feel a deep sense of purpose. “Protecting this lake makes me proud. It’s not just work — it’s about preserving it for future generations,” he said.
Dradul’s workday begins early. He patrols (巡查) a fixed 10-kilometer route by motorcycle, with duties including observing the reserve, recording data, and addressing ecological threats. Last February, he and his team rescued a wing-broken eagle, sending it to a rescue center until it recovered. This July, they spent 20 minutes pulling a trapped wild out of a mudflat with ropes. Educating visitors is another core task. Dradul reminds tourists not to litter, drive on delicate grasslands, or leave waste. “In the past, the wetland was full of garbage and had fewer wild animals,” Dradul recalled. Today, the wetland is home to 411 plant species and 157 wildlife species—a remarkable level of biodiversity for such a high-altitude area.
Yet, the work is far from easy. Climate change is a major threat: melting ice and shifting rainfall patterns cause shoreline changes and grassland degradation. Human activities also continue — some visitors still litter, bathe, or wash cars in the lake. With nearly 99,000 hectares (公顷) of wetland and only 90 guardians, remote areas can’t be patrolled daily.
Despite these difficulties, Dradul remains hopeful. He dreams of Mapam Yumco Lake staying pure forever. “This responsibility, though built on small daily efforts, must be passed down. With sincerity and commitment, even the simplest actions can safeguard the lake’s beauty for generations,” he emphasized.
24. What’s the original purpose of Dradul to work as a guardian
A. To earn a stable income. B. To help animals in need.
C. To protect a precious wetland. D. To seek a sense of purpose.
25. Which of the following can best describe Dradul’s job
A. Well-paid but dangerous. B. Relaxing and effective.
C. Challenging but worthwhile. D. Flexible and professional.
26. What does the underlined word “degradation” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Improvement. B. Expansion. C. Decline. D. Stability.
27. What can we learn from Dradul
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. Small efforts make a big difference.
C
As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect, filled with abbreviations (缩写) like “hru ” (how are you ). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru ” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you ”
“While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology.
The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8% of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be indifferent to abbreviations.
David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios (情景). They examined over 200,000 conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages. They discovered a clear pattern: conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster.
“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and his colleagues concluded.
Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether.
“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.”
28. What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations
A. They make senders seem insincere. B. They have evolved over a long time.
C. They reshape digital communication. D. They are a shortcut to learning dialects.
29. What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations
A. They could become trendy. B. They would not bother others.
C. They could ruin communication. D. They would damage social connections.
30. Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as ________.
A. the evolution of language B. a lower effort from the sender
C. an improved conversational quality D. the preference for a shorter conversation
31. What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations
A. It enhances social ties. B. It should be abandoned.
C. It depends on the context. D. It can simplify the content.
D
It’s a surprising fact that over the past 20,000 years, the human brain has decreased in size by about 10% — a change that seems controversial as human civilization keeps advancing. This puzzling phenomenon has motivated widespread curiosity among scientists and the public, with several mainstream and reasonable explanations.
Early humans relied entirely on their brains to track animals during hunting, distinguish safe plants from poisonous ones in the wild, and remember complex survival skills passed down from generation to generation. But now, with tools like calculators and smartphones, mature writing systems, and the convenient Internet, we can easily store and process information externally. For example, we no longer need to memorize a large number of mathematical formulas or complicated addresses by heart, as electronic devices can help us record and recover them quickly. Thus, the brain no longer needs to maintain a large size to carry more memories and skills.
As humans turned to farming from hunting and gathering, their diet shifted from wild animals and fruits to grains and cooked food, which are more advanced and easier to pared with the unstable diet in the hunting-gathering era, this kind of regular diet provides energy more efficiently. Since the brain consumes nearly 20% of the body’s total energy, it can contract appropriately without affecting normal functions, helping the body save energy for other important activities.
Group cooperation may be another key factor. Humans live in groups, sharing knowledge and dividing labor. Some people specialize in technology research, some in medical care, and others in education and management. Individual brains do not need to be omnipotent. The clear division of labor and close cooperation among group members ensure the group’s high efficiency, leading individual brain size to tend to be smaller.
In fact, brain size is not directly linked to intelligence. The contracting brain may be a sign of human evolution adapting to the living environment, helping us save energy and better integrate into social life.
32. Why is the brain change a puzzling phenomenon
A. Its scale is considerable. B. Its explanations are lacking.
C. It contradicts human progress. D. It has been ongoing for ages.
33. Which of the following is a cause of a smaller human brain
A. Universal human laziness. B. Lessened memory load.
C. Demands for high efficiency. D. Irregular eating habits
34. What does the underlined word “omnipotent” in paragraph 4 mean
A. all-powerful. B. discontinuous. C. passive. D. consistent
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The explanation of human’s smaller brain.
B. The process of human brain contracting.
C. Brain size makes no difference to intelligence.
D. Human civilization promotes brain growth.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
Emotional intelligence (EI) is a critical skill to build stronger and empathetic relationships, and it helps connect with our deepest feelings, allowing us to make decisions more consistent with our values and personal goals. Some individuals might naturally be more emotionally intelligent than others. 36 .
Identify and make note of your emotional reactions.
The ability to recognize and name your own emotions is an important indicator of a high EI. 37 . This will help you practice the skill of identifying your feelings and connecting them to the events that triggered (触发) them, so you can better manage your emotions in the future.
38
Self-control is one of the major components of emotional intelligence, and willpower is key to self-control. Willpower involves resisting short-term temptation and satisfaction in order to focus on long-term goals. Researchers suggest that willpower is like a muscle, which means that it can get stronger over time with consistent, healthy exercise.
Pay attention to your body.
Instead of ignoring the physical signals of your emotions, start listening to them. Our minds and bodies are not separate, and they affect each other deeply. You can raise your EI by learning how to read physical clues that tell you into what emotions you’re feeling. 39
Work on your listening skills.
Truly listening to others while they speak helps you pick up on their emotions and respond to them, which is a key aspect of emotional intelligence. 40 Active listening skills include using engaged body language, summarizing and repeating what the other person said, asking thoughtful questions, and making sure you take equal turns talking.
A. Work on your willpower.
B. Keep things under your control.
C. Practice your active listening skills in order to be a good listener.
D. However, high EI can be developed with time through regular practice.
E. This essentially raises your self-awareness, which is a key component of EI.
F. Try starting a journal to keep track of your emotions and reflect on their causes.
G. This growing self-awareness is fundamental, as it directly influences your social skills.

In a small town, Sarah and her husband, David, ran a modest noodle shop. Over the years, it had become a familiar gathering place for hardworking folks in the neighborhood, especially those who often worked into the late hours.
Early in 2022, an elderly wandering man named Robert entered their shop. “Ma’am, I’d like a bowl of noodles. Here’s the money,” the elderly man said, handing over a well-worn and old one-dollar banknote. Sarah exchanged a quick glance with David, for a bowl of noodles cost five dollars. However, David accepted it without hesitation, instructing Sarah to serve Robert.
Sarah couldn’t help whispering to her husband, “David, why did you accept this old money and sell the noodles for one dollar ” David gazed at her and responded, “My dear, everyone faces challenges. What’s a bowl of noodles worth anyway What if he goes hungry ” David’s friendly smile made Robert feel at home. He wasted no time in wolfing down the hot noodles, as if he hadn’t eaten in days. The couple watched with compassionate eyes as Robert enjoyed every single bite. After finishing his meal, Robert left with satisfaction.
Robert returned the next day, and for several days thereafter. They soon learned that Robert had a slight intellectual disability from a very young age. After the passing of his parents, he lived alone, with his elder brother visiting him occasionally. But Robert didn’t want to burden his brother’s family.
David and Sarah silently formed an unspoken agreement with Robert. They genuinely helped him but never mentioned the price. Sarah even added extra vegetables to his bowl sometimes. As months passed by, they developed a bond of kindness. Robert only visited the shop when it was less crowded. Yet, his payments went from regular dollars to small change, until he had no money left.

1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

Para 1: One day, Robert arrived with something unusual--a hand-drawn bank note. __________________

At an altitude over 4,500 meters in Burang County, Ngari Prefecture, Southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, lies Mapam Yumco Lake. For over a decade, 42-year-old Dradul has dedicated himself to protecting the wetland around this precious lake as an ecosystem guardian.
Before becoming a guardian, he struggled with temporary jobs and hoped for a steady salary. Now, he earns a stable monthly income of 2,000 yuan and comes to feel a deep sense of purpose. “Protecting this lake makes me proud. It’s not just work — it’s about preserving it for future generations,” he said.
Dradul’s workday begins early. He patrols (巡查) a fixed 10-kilometer route by motorcycle, with duties including observing the reserve, recording data, and addressing ecological threats. Last February, he and his team rescued a wing-broken eagle, sending it to a rescue center until it recovered. This July, they spent 20 minutes pulling a trapped wild out of a mudflat with ropes. Educating visitors is another core task. Dradul reminds tourists not to litter, drive on delicate grasslands, or leave waste. “In the past, the wetland was full of garbage and had fewer wild animals,” Dradul recalled. Today, the wetland is home to 411 plant species and 157 wildlife species—a remarkable level of biodiversity for such a high-altitude area.
Yet, the work is far from easy. Climate change is a major threat: melting ice and shifting rainfall patterns cause shoreline changes and grassland degradation. Human activities also continue — some visitors still litter, bathe, or wash cars in the lake. With nearly 99,000 hectares (公顷) of wetland and only 90 guardians, remote areas can’t be patrolled daily.
Despite these difficulties, Dradul remains hopeful. He dreams of Mapam Yumco Lake staying pure forever. “This responsibility, though built on small daily efforts, must be passed down. With sincerity and commitment, even the simplest actions can safeguard the lake’s beauty for generations,” he emphasized.
24. What’s the original purpose of Dradul to work as a guardian
A. To earn a stable income. B. To help animals in need.
C. To protect a precious wetland. D. To seek a sense of purpose.
25. Which of the following can best describe Dradul’s job
A. Well-paid but dangerous. B. Relaxing and effective.
C. Challenging but worthwhile. D. Flexible and professional.
26. What does the underlined word “degradation” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Improvement. B. Expansion. C. Decline. D. Stability.
27. What can we learn from Dradul
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. Small efforts make a big difference.
C
As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect, filled with abbreviations (缩写) like “hru ” (how are you ). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru ” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you ”
“While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology.
The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8% of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be indifferent to abbreviations.
David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios (情景). They examined over 200,000 conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages. They discovered a clear pattern: conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster.
“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and his colleagues concluded.
Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether.
“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.”
28. What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations
A. They make senders seem insincere. B. They have evolved over a long time.
C. They reshape digital communication. D. They are a shortcut to learning dialects.
29. What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations
A. They could become trendy. B. They would not bother others.
C. They could ruin communication. D. They would damage social connections.
30. Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as ________.
A. the evolution of language B. a lower effort from the sender
C. an improved conversational quality D. the preference for a shorter conversation
31. What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations
A. It enhances social ties. B. It should be abandoned.
C. It depends on the context. D. It can simplify the content.
D
It’s a surprising fact that over the past 20,000 years, the human brain has decreased in size by about 10% — a change that seems controversial as human civilization keeps advancing. This puzzling phenomenon has motivated widespread curiosity among scientists and the public, with several mainstream and reasonable explanations.
Early humans relied entirely on their brains to track animals during hunting, distinguish safe plants from poisonous ones in the wild, and remember complex survival skills passed down from generation to generation. But now, with tools like calculators and smartphones, mature writing systems, and the convenient Internet, we can easily store and process information externally. For example, we no longer need to memorize a large number of mathematical formulas or complicated addresses by heart, as electronic devices can help us record and recover them quickly. Thus, the brain no longer needs to maintain a large size to carry more memories and skills.
As humans turned to farming from hunting and gathering, their diet shifted from wild animals and fruits to grains and cooked food, which are more advanced and easier to pared with the unstable diet in the hunting-gathering era, this kind of regular diet provides energy more efficiently. Since the brain consumes nearly 20% of the body’s total energy, it can contract appropriately without affecting normal functions, helping the body save energy for other important activities.
Group cooperation may be another key factor. Humans live in groups, sharing knowledge and dividing labor. Some people specialize in technology research, some in medical care, and others in education and management. Individual brains do not need to be omnipotent. The clear division of labor and close cooperation among group members ensure the group’s high efficiency, leading individual brain size to tend to be smaller.
In fact, brain size is not directly linked to intelligence. The contracting brain may be a sign of human evolution adapting to the living environment, helping us save energy and better integrate into social life.
32. Why is the brain change a puzzling phenomenon
A. Its scale is considerable. B. Its explanations are lacking.
C. It contradicts human progress. D. It has been ongoing for ages.
33. Which of the following is a cause of a smaller human brain
A. Universal human laziness. B. Lessened memory load.
C. Demands for high efficiency. D. Irregular eating habits
34. What does the underlined word “omnipotent” in paragraph 4 mean
A. all-powerful. B. discontinuous. C. passive. D. consistent
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The explanation of human’s smaller brain.
B. The process of human brain contracting.
C. Brain size makes no difference to intelligence.
D. Human civilization promotes brain growth.

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。
In a small town, Sarah and her husband, David, ran a modest noodle shop. Over the years, it had become a familiar gathering place for hardworking folks in the neighborhood, especially those who often worked into the late hours.
Early in 2022, an elderly wandering man named Robert entered their shop. “Ma’am, I’d like a bowl of noodles. Here’s the money,” the elderly man said, handing over a well-worn and old one-dollar banknote. Sarah exchanged a quick glance with David, for a bowl of noodles cost five dollars. However, David accepted it without hesitation, instructing Sarah to serve Robert.
Sarah couldn’t help whispering to her husband, “David, why did you accept this old money and sell the noodles for one dollar ” David gazed at her and responded, “My dear, everyone faces challenges. What’s a bowl of noodles worth anyway What if he goes hungry ” David’s friendly smile made Robert feel at home. He wasted no time in wolfing down the hot noodles, as if he hadn’t eaten in days. The couple watched with compassionate eyes as Robert enjoyed every single bite. After finishing his meal, Robert left with satisfaction.
Robert returned the next day, and for several days thereafter. They soon learned that Robert had a slight intellectual disability from a very young age. After the passing of his parents, he lived alone, with his elder brother visiting him occasionally. But Robert didn’t want to burden his brother’s family.
David and Sarah silently formed an unspoken agreement with Robert. They genuinely helped him but never mentioned the price. Sarah even added extra vegetables to his bowl sometimes. As months passed by, they developed a bond of kindness. Robert only visited the shop when it was less crowded. Yet, his payments went from regular dollars to small change, until he had no money left.
