As a mushroom scientist,you are vastly outnumbered,with estimates
suggesting that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi ( 真
菌 ) ,the majority of which are yet to be identified.However,professionals in the
field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species.An enthusiastic
community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and
non-professionals.These amateurs have even made significant discoveries.One
such amateur is Taylor Lockwood,a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and
professional photographer.
In 1984,while living on the Mendocino coast of California,Taylor Lockwood
developed a fascination with mushrooms.“Outside my cottage were these amazing
mushrooms,”he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and
said,‘Taylor,go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’”Lockwood answered
their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature.His passionfor photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to
the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots.
In the Monongahela National Forest,Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual
mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves.Upon further
investigation,fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a“hazel glove”
mushroom,which is a rare find.“Mushrooms are not like plants,”Rossman
says.“They don't come up at the same time every year,and so sometimes it can be
decades between when a fungus fruits.”Rossman says that's why it's so valuable to
have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye.
A few years ago,Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren't
sufficient,so he chose to create time-lapse( 延 时 拍 摄 的 )videos of
mushrooms.“When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the
mushrooms —insects,worms and other small creatures interacting with them,”he
says.Lockwood's love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over
time.Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work,he identifies himself
as an artist at heart.
24.What can we learn about mushroom amateurs from paragraph 1?
A.They keep close track of the growth of fungi.
B.They help identify new species of mushroom.
C.They replace professional scientists in the field.
D.They classify the majority of mushroom species.
25.What inspired Lockwood to photograph mushrooms?
A.His desire for knowledge. B.His curiosity about nature.
C.The beauty of nearby mushrooms. D.The appeal of outdoor
photography.
26.Which of the following best describes Lockwood according to paragraph 3?
A.Skilled and observant. B.Focused and flexible.
C.Talented and optimistic. D.Organized and responsible.
27.Why did Lockwood decide to make time-lapse videos of mushrooms?
A.To improve his photography techniques.
B.To capture dynamic life in an artistic way.
C.To collect biological data for further research.
D.To adopt a new approach to scientific studies.
C
When we encounter a troublesome problem,we often gather a group to
brainstorm. However,substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas
together,we fail to maximize collective intelligence.To unearth the hidden potential in teams,we're better off shifting to a process
called “brainwriting”.You start by asking group members to write down what is
going on in their brains separately.Next,you pool them and share them among the
group without telling the authors.Then,each member evaluates them on his or her
own,only after which do the team members come together to select and improve
the most promising options.By developing and assessing ideas individually before
choosing and expanding on them,the team can surface and advance possibilities
that might not get attention otherwise.
An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped
underground in Chile.Given the urgency of the situation,the rescue team didn't
hold brainstorming sessions.Rather,they established a global brainwriting system
to generate individual ideas.A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic
telephone.This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of
communicating with the miners,making it possible to save them.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her
colleagues helps to explain why this method works.They find that the key to
collective intelligence is balanced participation.In brainstorming meetings,it's too
easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices.The
brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices
are brought into conversation.The goal isn't to be the smartest person in the
room.It's to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity,but it doesn't end
there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they
work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than
groups but also more terrible ideas.Therefore,it takes collective judgment to find
the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas.
28.What is special about brainwriting compared with brainstorming？
A.It highlights independent work. B.It encourages group cooperation.
C.It prioritizes quality over quantity. D.It prefers writing to oral
exchanges.
29.Why does the author mention the Chile mining accident in paragraph 3?
A.To introduce a tool developed during brainwriting.
B.To praise a young man with brainwriting technique.
C.To illustrate a successful application of brainwriting.
D.To explain the role of brainwriting in communication.
30.How does brainwriting promote collective intelligence according to paragraph
4?A.By blocking the loudest voices. B.By allowing equal involvement.
C.By improving individual wisdom. D.By generating more creative ideas31.Which step of brainwriting does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A.Individual writing. B.Group sharing. C.Personal evaluation. D.Joint
discussion.

As most Americans spend at least 50%of their food budget dining out,public
criticism falls on restaurants to help consumers make healthier food choices.The
Menu Labeling Final Rule has come into effect,requiring restaurants with more
than 20 locations to show the calories of food on menus.
By representing these values in a discrepant way—using physically larger
numbers on the page for lower-calorie options,and smaller numbers for high-
calorie foods— businesses can shift customers 'preferences toward healthier
food,according to Ruiying Cai from the Washington State University.
In their study,Cai and her colleagues asked participants to choose between a
less healthy item and a healthier option after randomly assigning them to two
groups.In the first group,calorie counts and font ( 字 体 ) sizes rose and fell
together.In the second group,the size became larger as the calorie count
fell.Researchers also asked participants questions to assess their health-
consciousness.
Results showed participants in the second group,who saw low calorie counts
printed in large sizes,were more likely to adopt the healthier option.Moreover,less
health- conscious participants were the most affected,while people with more
health awareness were less influenced since they already favored healthier food.
This research adjusted customer behaviors by creating a Stroop effect.Named
after psychologist J.Ridley Stroop,the Stroop effect refers to a delay in reaction to
mismatch in its classic form.For example,if the word“purple”is written in green,it
takes respondents longer time to identify the color than if the word and the color
match. Similarly,the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does
not match its number in this study.
“Restaurants are interested in encouraging customers to make healthier
choices,” Cai said.However,simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the
intended effect. “Healthy food items could be profitable for restaurants,but
whenever a ‘healthy’ label is attached,people may assume it does not taste
good,"she explained."We're trying to provide restaurants with indirect
suggestions,rather than saying it out loud.”
32.What does the underlined word“discrepant ”in paragraph 2 mean？
A.Creative. B.Relative C.Conflicting D.Misleading
33.Which of the following type of customers would benefit most from the research?
A.Strict diet followers. B.Convenience food fans.C.Homemade meal lovers. D.Health magazine readers.
34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.The significance of research results.
B.The measurement of response delays.
C.The psychological basis of the study design.
D.The influential variations of the Stroop effect.
35.Which of the following might be Cai's suggestion for restaurants?
A.Use font magic to drive healthier choices.
B.Pay more attention to the taste of the food.
C.Create a quiet dining atmosphere for customers.
D.Attach“healthy”labels to the food on the menu.

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。
Artificial Intelligence(AI) geolocation( 互 联 网 定 位 技 术 ) solutions are
changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife,enabling more powerful
conservation efforts.These systems use advanced sensors,satellite imagery,and
machine learning algorithms( 算 法 )to gather real-time data on animal
movements,habitat preferences, and migration patterns. 36
Traditional tracking methods often rely on non-automatic tracking or
inconvenient necklace-like systems,which may cause stress and discomfort to the
animals. 37 The devices can work as tags and the camera traps can be set up
remotely,which decreases human impact on wildlife.
In addition,AI-powered devices collect and analyze data precisely.Through
their assistance,scientists can gain insights into habitat choices and evaluate the
effect of global warming on wild animal locations. 38 For example,by analyzing
the collected data,conservationists can promote targeted habitat restoration efforts
according to the patterns and connections they discovered with the help of AI
geolocation devices.
39 By monitoring animals' behavioral changes in real-time,researchers can
quickly detect signs of environmental issues.Sudden changes in an animal's
movements could indicate threats or problems.Researchers can then respond
immediately,potentially saving the animal's life.
Sharing geolocation data through online platforms can also help raise
awareness about protecting endangered species. 40 This help them feel more
connected to the issues wildlife face in habitats.The bond promotes a sense of
responsibility among individuals and encourages them to contribute to wildlifeconservation efforts through various means, such as donations,volunteer work,and
so on.
A.This knowledge enables them to make accurate and efficient decisions.
B.However,AI tracking does not require disturbing contact with the animals.
C.AI monitoring needs fewer battery replacements than the traditional
methods.
D.The solutions have offered the following key benefits to wildlife
conservation.
E.Directly engaging with conservation efforts gives people a first-hand
experience.
F.The AI geolocation technology significantly reduces the need for massive
fieldwork.
G.With real-time data,the AI solutions also function as an early warning for
wildlife risks.

的短文。
When I was seven years old,my family moved from Mexico to America.In
Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and
inventing fun games to play with my friends.However,when I arrived in America,I
found it hard to fit in,and I became quieter.
We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables—my
responsibility.While I took pride in watching them grow,there were times when I
dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella's,with its delicate
tulips (郁金 香).Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me,we barely
knew each other.
It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends.
The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon.The gentle breeze transformed into
a strong wind,and thick gray clouds filled the sky.Gradually,the tornado took
shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel(漏斗) .My
entire family gathered in the bathroom,seeking shelter from the storm.Terrified,Isat close to my mom,knees in my chest.After the storm had passed,our worries and
fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had
remained undamaged.
As I stepped outside,I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had
caused to our neighborhood.Across the street,a tall tree had fallen,crushing
Luella's garden in front of her yellow house.We hurried over to check on
it.Fortunately,her family seemed to be away at the time,and no one was
injured.However,her once-beautiful garden was in ruins,with the fallen tree
destroying the tulips and debris(碎片)spread everywhere.I could only imagine how
heartbroken they must feel seeing this.
Then my mom's usual words rang in my ear,"It is more blessed to give than
to receive,”and my family started to think about how we could help.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just at that moment,Luella's family returned in their car.
Even after the debris was cleared,I could still sense Luella's sorrow for her lost garden.

One possible version:
Social practice activities offer high school students chances to strengthen their
sense of social responsibility. Here I would like to propose an activity called “Get
Your Hands Dirty in Hiking”, in which students should combine hiking with
cleaning up trails.
To get immersed in the beauty of nature, students can form groups to go
hiking during the holidays, which can not only promote their physical health but
also help alleviate study stress. In addition, in this activity, students are
encouraged to bring recycled bags to pick up trash along the hiking trails. This
eco-friendly hike will definitely raise students’ awareness of environment
conservation, further strengthening their sense of duty as essential members of
society.
I eagerly anticipate this initiative becoming a feasible program. It is through
these hands-on experiences that we students can be inspired to make a difference
in nature and beyond.

Possible version 1: (91+97)
Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. Empathy surged
within me as I saw their shock and disbelief. Approaching Luella, I tightly held
her hands and said, “I’m so sorry for your loss, but thankfully you’re all right.”
She weakly nodded, still puzzled by the devastating scene. My family volunteered
to help clean up the mess, cutting down the branches and removing the fallen
trees. To uplift Luella’s spirits and bring her comfort, I tried my best to cheer her
up while tidying the garden with her, during which my own joyful
personality seemed to revive a bit.
Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her
lost garden . My heart went out to her, knowing her devotion to those tulips she
had nurtured. Determined to restore the beauty that once thrived, I suggested that
we rebuild the garden, which Luella delightedly embraced. With each bulb
carefully planted and watered, the new tulip seedlings once again filled the garden,
which symbolized the sprouting of a new friendship between us, as well as the
turning that I finally got embraced by this new environment. My mom was right:it’s more blessed to give than to receive because when you give. You may receive
something unexpected in return.
