When the bell rang for recess, children quickly poured out. However, ragged Vincent Sabella was left out.
He didn’t join the boys gathering around the horizontal bar, or the ones whispering in a far corner, nor the larger
group chasing in circles. Initially, he pretended to be busy with his shoelaces, bending to undo and retie them.
After repeating this for five minutes, he began casting stones at an invisible target— another five minutes gone,
with five still left. Then he just stood there, hands in pockets, then on hips.
Miss Price stood watching, wondering whether to intervene. Knowing the new boy was adopted from an
orphanage filled her with a sense of mission. She managed to control the urge that day and every day that week.
Her anxiety showed in class, though. His schoolwork errors were excused publicly, while his achievements got
special mention. Her campaign to build him up was painfully obvious. For instance, she would say, “Suppose
Vincent Sabella went to the store with fifteen cents. Candy bars cost five cents each. How many would he have?”
He was well on the way to becoming a teacher’s pet.
On Friday, Miss Price decided to speak to him privately. But lunchtime was trying for Vincent. Unlike
others who went home, he had lunch in the classroom from a wrinkled paper bag, which made for awkwardness.
And her visit didn’t help. The room still half full, she sat beside him, obviously sacrificing her lunch break.
Mumbling (嘟囔), he shifted his eyes to the departing children. With the door closed behind the last child, he
finally gave her his full attention. The more she talked, the more he seemed to relax. She went right on, feeling it
was as simple and satisfying as stroking a cat.
24．What do the three “five minutes” imply?
A．Vincent failed to integrate.
B．Miss Price observed keenly.
C．Vincent followed a routine.
D．Vincent’s school life was boring.
25．The underlined phrase in paragraph 2 probably refers to someone ________ by the teacher.
A．highly valued for nobility
B．overly pitied for misfortune
C．deeply admired for excellence
D．sharply criticized for misbehavior
26．What can we infer about the talk from paragraph 3?
A．It embarrassed Vincent.
B．It finally put Vincent at ease.
C．It didn’t satisfy Miss Price.
D．It was interrupted by others.
27．Which words best describe Miss Price?
A．Patient and empathetic.
B．Optimistic and creative.
C．Humble and responsible.
D．Caring and courageous.
C
A typical single-family house is encircled by green, its shrubs (灌木) and plants sitting just under windows
and hugging external walls. It’s an image that California is trying to get homeowners to rethink as the state’s risk
of extreme wildfires grows.
One year after the fast-moving Eaton and Palisades Fires destroyed more than 16,000 structures in Los
Angeles, California is drafting the toughest statewide rules in the country for vegetation. In areas at risk of
wildfires, homeowners would be required to clear some or all of the plants within five feet of their house,
depending on what regulators decide. Well-maintained trees would still be allowed. The idea, called Zone Zero, is
to prevent plants and flammable items from catching fire during a wildfire, spreading flames to the house and the
surrounding neighborhood.
Still, the pushback has been strong, even in the Los Angeles area neighborhoods where so many lost homes.
In public meetings, homeowners have voiced concerns about losing greenery and shade, as well as the cost of
clearing the vegetation. Some say they believe plants saved their homes by acting as a buffer (缓冲), though many
scientific studies show that vegetation increases the risk a building will burn. The new defensible space rules will
affect about 17% of buildings in California.
Max Moritz, wildfire specialist at UC Santa Barbara, is one of the few fire experts who say that green
plants may not pose a risk to houses and that more research needs to be done. Greener plants, which hold water in
their leaves, are harder to ignite. He agrees that some plants, like highly flammable juniper and cypress, should
not be allowed, nor should plants with dead leaves or dry branches.
“The really important aspect to the plants is the dead material,” he says. “If most homeowners are just
going to let dead material accumulate in Zone Zero anyway, then it makes sense that there shouldn’t be any plants
in Zone Zero.”
28．What is California’s concern about typical single-family houses?
A．They are easy to catch fire.
B．They need routine maintenance.
C．They are packed closely together.
D．They can’t resist extreme weather.
29．Why does the author mention Los Angeles in paragraph 3?
A．To illustrate the severity of wildfires.
B．To show strong objections to the new rules.
C．To emphasize public concerns about wildfires.
D．To indicate the widespread effect of the new rules.
30．According to Moritz, what is the key to preventing wildfires in Zone Zero?
A．Clearing away green plants.
B．Watering plants more often.
C．Getting rid of dead material in time.
D．Doing more research on plants.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Wildfires: A Deadly threat to California
B．Zone Zero: A New Way to Maintain Plants
C．California is Drafting Toughest Rules for Plants
D．Experts are Divided on the Functions of Greenery
D
A recent study from the University of California San Diego reveals a surprising factor affecting global crop
stability: the original source of rainfall. Published in Nature Sustainability, the research tracks atmospheric
moisture back to where it first evaporated, whether from oceans or land surfaces like soil, lakes, and forests.
Sunlight heats these surfaces, turning water into vapor that rises and eventually returns as rain. While ocean-
derived moisture often travels across continents in large weather systems, land-based moisture, known as recycled
rainfall, fuels more localized storms. The study finds that the balance between ocean and land moisture strongly
influences regional drought risk and farm productivity.
“Our work changes how we view drought risk,” said Yan Jiang, the study’s lead author. “It is not just about
the amount of rain, but where that rain comes from.” Using nearly 20 years of satellite data, researchers
discovered that when more than one-third of precipitation originates from land, croplands become significantly
more vulnerable to drought. Ocean-driven systems usually bring heavier, consistent rain, whereas land-driven
systems produce lighter, less predictable showers. This makes crops especially weak during critical growth stages
when water is most needed.
The research highlights two high-risk areas: the U.S. Midwest and tropical East Africa. In the Midwest,
frequent droughts may be worsened by a reliance on land-sourced moisture. When soil dries out, evaporation
decreases, leading to less future rain — a self-reinforcing cycle known as a “rainfall feedback loop.” Since this
region supplies much of the world’s grain, such disruptions affect global food markets. Farmers there may need to
focus on saving soil moisture and improving irrigation efficiency to break this cycle.
East Africa faces a different challenge. Rapid expansion of farmland and loss of nearby rainforests threaten
the very moisture sources that sustain local rainfall. “Farmers are clearing forests to grow crops, but those forests
help generate the rain the crops need,” Jiang explained. If these moisture sources disappear, local food security
will be at greater risk. However, smarter land management, such as conserving forests, can still protect rainfall
patterns.
Ultimately, the study emphasizes that forests act as natural rainmakers. By releasing water vapor through
transpiration, they help form clouds that rain over surrounding fields. Protecting these ecosystems is not just about
biodiversity; it is essential for sustaining agriculture. This new framework links land use decisions with rainfall
patterns, offering a vital tool for climate-smart planning and drought resilience in a changing world.
32．What makes crops more likely to suffer from drought according to the study?
A．The total amount of annual rainfall.
B．The distance moisture travels from oceans.
C．A high proportion of rain coming from land.
D．The speed at which water evaporates from soil.
33．What can be inferred about the “rainfall feedback loop” in the Midwest?
A．It helps farmers predict weather changes accurately.
B．It creates a cycle where dry land leads to less rain.
C．It increases the consistency of ocean-driven storms.
D．It reduces the need for irrigation in grain production.
34．What is the main conflict facing farmers in East Africa?
A．They lack technology to track satellite data.
B．They must choose between growing crops and preserving rain sources.
C．They rely too heavily on ocean-derived moisture for farming.
D．They are forced to move their farms to coastal regions.
35．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning forests in the last paragraph?
A．To argue for stopping all agricultural expansion.
B．To explain how biodiversity protects animal habitats.
C．To highlight the role of ecosystems in maintaining rainfall.
D．To suggest replacing forests with more efficient irrigation systems.

We’ve all had that annoying experience; another driver cuts you off in traffic, and suddenly, you feel angry
for the rest of your trip. A single event causes an emotional response in the brain, and it seems to last long. 36
A new study offers some clues by looking at how both mice and people react to a simple, annoying stimulus.
According to Dr. Karl Deisseroth, a psychiatrist at Stanford University, feeling angry at one thing, like a
bad driver, can make you more likely to get angry at something else, like a noisy child. 37
They decided on a gentle puff (a small amount) of air to the eye. It’s certainly annoying, but not painful.
They believed both humans and mice would react to it in a similar way. They were right. 38 After
several puffs, both started to squint (眯眼) in a defensive, lasting reaction. The scientists then studied the brain
activity linked to this experience. They discovered that the brain responds in two clear phases (阶段).
39 This is when the brain areas that handle sensory information — what we see, hear, and feel —
become highly active for just an instant.
Right after, the second phase begins. In this phase, brain activity moves to other areas, including those
linked to emotions. This phase is longer and more lasting, like a musical note that is held. 40 With each
new puff of air, this lasting response became stronger. Dr. Deisseroth connects this directly to what emotion is: a
lasting state that changes how we feel and act.
A．But how does the brain identify this?
B．Each new puff made this second part stronger.
C．But how does this process happen inside our brains?
D．Both people and mice closed eyes when they felt the air puff.
E．The first phase is very quick, like a short, sharp musical note.
F．To understand this better, he and his team designed a lab experiment.
G．It’s this lasting brain activity that seems to create the ongoing emotional state.

Last summer, I went hiking with some friends when the sky suddenly darkened and thunder rumbled (发出

head against a stone. Blood 42 seeped (渗出) from her head and she lay there 43

to arrive. Remembering the basic first-aid course I’d taken, I knelt down, my hands shaking. I pressed 45
on her wrist to check her pulse. It was faint but 46 . I then used my scarf to apply pressure to the wound.

67．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。
We walk to the harbor, the early morning sun just beginning to burn pink through the fog. We’ve come to
say goodbye.
“Bye, sailboats,” Mom says. My little brother, Ben, waves his fist. “Goodbye, harbor,” Dad says. I
remember clouds of seagulls (海鸥) following the fishing boats, hoping to snap up shellfish tossed overboard.
“Any last farewells, Marissa?” Dad asks me. I bite my lower lip. Goodbye, home.
When mom and dad announced we were moving, Dad said we were going “home.” He meant out west,
where Grandma and Grandpa raised him along with lots of chickens and cattle. “The desert is beautiful in its own
way,” Dad said. I tried to smile. But I knew mountains would only stand between me and the rosy sun rising over
the ocean. “We’ll find new things to love,” Mom promised. But I knew I’d never love anything as much as waking
up to the sound of a seagull’s cry.
After five days of driving across rolling prairie, we see mountaintops on the horizon. On day six, we pull
into Grandpa’s dusty driveway. I sigh. Now this is our house, until Mom and Dad can find a new one to buy.
I take the attic (阁楼) bedroom with pink wallpaper covering the ceiling. The night before I go to school, I
pull my notebook out from under the bed. I’ve started a list of Old Things I Miss: the salt scent instead of farm
stink, seagulls instead of chickens, friends to play with instead of only Ben. I flip the page over, where I’ve started
another list: New Things I Love. It’s still blank. That night I dream of seagulls calling, their cries rising and falling
with the wind. They sail across the sky, following the fishing boats.
