I’ve always been drawn to tales of how creativity emerges under the most unexpected pressure, revealing a
raw gift that comfort zones rarely show. A story my grandfather, a painter, often told comes to mind whenever I
face my own artistic blocks.
In his late fifties, Grandpa was invited to a major group exhibition. He had spent weeks preparing delicate
watercolor pieces. But the night before the opening, disaster struck: the package containing his brushes, paints and
fine paper went missing. All that remained in the exhibition hall was a pile of rough, oversized wooden boards and
a box of cheap charcoal (木炭) left behind by workers. Convinced he would have to pull out, Grandpa sat alone in
the silent hall, staring at the boards.
Then something shifted. Almost in a flash of inspiration, he picked up a piece of charcoal and began to draw
directly on the wood. The rough surface, which he had initially hated, forced his hand into bold, sweeping strokes
he had never dared attempt. The grain of the wood guided lines in ways smooth paper never could. By dawn, he
had produced a series of black-and-white works unlike anything he had ever created — raw, expressive, and
powerfully alive.
Those unplanned drawings became the talk of the exhibition. Critics described them as “a pure explosion of
emotion”. Grandpa later told me, “That night, I wasn’t painting from skill; I was painting from necessity. And that
necessity unlocked a side of me I never knew existed.” His words stayed with me. When the familiar is taken away,
we are often pushed to discover a purer creative force. It is precisely in moments of discomfort that our true
potential decides to surface.
24．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．The author got inspired by his grandpa.
B．Comfort zones contributed to unfolding people’s talent.
C．The grandfather shared painting skills with the author.
D．The author disbelieved that creativity was from pressure.
25．What unexpected difficulty did Grandpa face before the exhibition?
A．The invited critics refused to attend.
B．His artworks were damaged in the disaster.
C．The gallery asked him to change his painting style.
D．His materials got lost and only rough boards were left.
26．How did Grandpa view that night’s experience?
A．As a turning point that unfolded his hidden potential.
B．As a lesson on the importance of proper tools.
C．As a disaster caused by his poor preparation.
D．As a night he wasted on worthless boards.
27．What message does the author want to convey?
A．Skills come from hard work over time.
B．Great art depends on perfect planning.
C．We should never give up our familiar tools.
D．Discomfort often brings out our hidden strengths.
C
In the 1960s, the once-fertile wetland of Bayou Bienvenue in southeast Louisiana fell victim to saltwater
invasion, ruining the native trees. Today, this area has become a living laboratory for innovative coastal restoration
approaches that could help protect exposed communities from increasingly powerful hurricanes and address waste
management challenges.
At the heart of this restoration effort sits a 10-meter-width artificial island constructed from an
unconventional mixture of recycled glass ground (磨) into sand and Mississippi River sediment (沉淀物). Nearby,
a control island made entirely of sediment allows scientists to conduct comparative studies on plant growth and
ecosystem development. This project, led by community ecologist Sunshine Van Bael from Tulane University,
seeks to determine whether glass sand mixtures could serve as an alternative material for coastal ecosystem
restoration projects.
As climate change intensifies sea level rise and coastal erosion (侵蚀), wetlands and mangrove forests are
increasingly threatened. Traditional restoration approaches typically rely on sediment, which pose two significant
challenges: limited availability and potential ecological disturbance to surrounding habitats in the process of
collecting sediment. The glass sand solution addresses both issues while also tackling waste management concerns,
as millions of tons of glass end up in landfills annually.
Van Bael’s team specifically examined wetland plants, including various grasses and trees, growing them in
five-gallon containers holding either Mississippi River sediment, glass sand, or an even mixture of both. The
research findings are auspicious. Plants grown in glass-sediment mixtures performed as well as those grown only
in sediment. Similarly promising results emerged from another study focusing on salt marsh grasses native to
Mississippi, with one species even thriving in a mixture containing 75 percent glass sand.
Over the next five years, Van Bael and her colleagues will continue monitoring the experimental islands,
with plans to construct two additional islands for further study. As coastal communities worldwide face intensifying
climate threats, this creative integration of waste management and ecosystem restoration offers an example of how
innovative thinking can help address complex environmental challenges while building more resistant landscapes.
28．What is the project aimed at?
A．To reduce pollution of Mississippi.
B．To test a new restoration material.
C．To grow various wetland plants.
D．To build wider artificial islands.
29．What does the underlined word “auspicious” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Alarming.
B．Unexpected.
C．Encouraging.
D．Impractical.
30．What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A．Coastal communities offer innovative solutions.
B．Waste management is the core of climate action.
C．The project provides a new angle for eco-protection.
D．Van Bael’s team has completed the experimental task.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Climate Change:A Factor for Coastal Erosion
B．Glass Waste: A Challenge to Coastal Ecosystems
C．Wetland Plants: A Foundation to Climate Protection
D．Recycled Glass: An Innovation for Coastal Restoration
D
The soft, gentle sounds of a baby’s first expressions, like little whispers of joy and wonder to parents, are
actually signs that the baby’s heart is working steadily together with developing speech.
Jeremy I. Borjon, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Houston, published research in
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that a baby’s first sweet sounds and early attempts at
forming words are directly linked to the baby’s heart rate.
For babies, producing recognizable speech is more than a cognitive (认知的) process. It is a motor skill that
requires them to learn to coordinate ( 协调) multiple muscles of varying functions across their bodies. This
coordination is directly linked to ongoing fluctuations (波动) in heart rate.
Borjon investigated whether fluctuations in heart rate are consistent with vocal ( 声音的) production and
word production in 24-month-old babies. “It turns out that babies were most likely to vocalize when their heart rate
fluctuation reaches a local peak (maximum) or local trough (minimum),” reports Borjon. “Vocalizations produced
at the peak were longer than expected by chance. Vocalizations produced just before the trough, while the heart rate
is decreasing, were more likely to be recognized as words by listeners.”
Borjon and his team measured a total of 2, 708 vocalizations produced by 34 babies aged between 18 and 27
months while the babies played with a caregiver. Babies in this age group typically don’t speak whole words yet,
and only a small part of the vocalizations — about 10.3% — can be reliably identified as words by listeners. “Every
sound a baby makes helps their brain and body learn how to coordinate with each other, eventually leading to
speech,” Borjon said.
The findings have implications for understanding language development and potential early indicators of
speech and communication disorders. “Understanding how the autonomic nervous system relates to baby
vocalizations throughout development is a critical area of future research for understanding how language emerges,
as well as to identify risk factors for atypical (非典型的) language development,” said Borjon.
32．What is the focus of the research regarding babies?
A．Caregivers’ role in early speech.
B．The importance of body coordination.
C．Motor skills’ impact on early speech.
D．Heart rate’s connection to early speech.
33．What does paragraph 3 aim to stress?
A．The challenges of learning to speak.
B．The importance of body coordination.
C．The theoretical foundation of the study. D．The importance of cognitive development.
34．When are babies’ sounds most likely recognized as words?
A．The heart rate is stable.
B．The heart rate is increasing.
C．The heart rate is slowing down.
D．The heart rate is at a peak.
35．What is a potential benefit of the research for parents?
A．To teach children to speak early.
B．To detect babies’ speech delays earlier.
C．To monitor babies’ heart rate better.
D．To improve parent-child communication.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中迭出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What’s the first thing you notice when you step into a museum? Is it the long-faded colors of ancient artifacts
or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see? 36 Some locations might even offer an eatable treat
inspired by an ancient recipe. Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary
senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste. 37
“Representations of the past are often scentless (无气味的), but smell probably played a huge role in many
historical realities,” says Barbara Huber, an archaeologist in Germany. 38 She and her workmates tracked
down some molecular (分子的) remains that can let us smell the past. Through trial and error, they created Scent of
the Afterlife, a mix of scent that would have accompanied mummification processes in ancient Egypt.
“ 39 One of the reasons is that it is incredibly hard to study. The scents and smells in the past were
already gone before archaeologists could come and investigate the sites,” says Huber. Luckily, new chemical and
biomolecular methods in archaeology have kind of reopened the door to continue to study these things.
“These molecules that we detect can tell us a lot about ancient materials. At the same time, when we
reconstruct them like we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today. 40
” says Huber. “If you enter a room and can somehow smell how it must have smelled in a mummification room in
ancient Egypt, you’re experiencing the history in a different way. History isn’t something we only see.”
A．It can also enrich our understanding of smells.
B．However, more often than not, smell is missing.
C．Smell has long been ignored in studying the past.
D．Maybe there’s a copy of a sculpture you can touch.
E．And the exhibit in the museum is not just a displayed object.
F．This “aha moment” changed her attitude towards the research.
G．The obvious absence of scent in the study of history inspired her.

Last year when I moved to a new neighborhood, I felt lonely. Most residents knew each other well — sharing
stories, 41 with groceries, even remembering pets’ names. But I kept to myself, busy with work and

第二节 （满分 25 分）
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。
Jean set off for a mountain trip in the Sierra Nevada, a famous mountainous area in California.She had a
deep love for outdoor adventures (冒险) and was always prepared for her trips. She had taken many wild mountain
trips there before, so she was quite familiar with the local terrain (地形) and road conditions. However, right after
she climbed up to a mountain top, a sudden terrible storm arrived without any warning. It began to snow heavily at
once, and very soon, she found herself trapped in the middle of a violent snowstorm.
Standing at the highest point for miles around, Jean was at great risk of being hit by lightning.She gave up
the original plan of going back along the fixed trail (小径) and chose to climb down the steep and icy mountain
slope carefully, believing in her climbing experience and skills.
Unluckily, during one difficult part on the way, Jean suddenly slipped and fell more than 100 feet down the
rocky mountain. She was lucky enough to stay alive after the fall, but she suffered serious injuries, with many
broken bones and terrible body pain.
Worse still, because of the extreme weather, there was no signal on her mobile phone, which made it totally
impossible for her to call anyone for help. Jean had no choice but to walk slowly through deep snow all the way
back to the starting trailhead. Throughout the journey back, Jean suffered continuously from great pain. When she
finally walked with difficulty into a parking lot, Jean immediately fell down to the ground. It had been exactly one
day since she fell down from the mountain. Her clothes were all covered with blood, and she was too tired to hold
on, nearly passing out on the spot.
Just then, a car pulled in. A man was driving, with his wife in the passenger seat.
