第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
If you’re concerned about the cost of gas and the environmental impact of gas-powered cars, and don’t want to worry about the charging challenges associated with the pure electric vehicle (EV), it’s time to take a closer look at a hybrid (混合的) electric vehicle (HEV). While salespeople might simply advise you to “plug in daily and use gas for longer trips,” understanding the underlying mechanics is key to determining if an HEV truly fits your needs. Essentially, an HEV offers you the best of gas cars and EVs.
An HEV has two sources of power: an internal combustion (燃烧) engine (ICE) and at least one electric motor. There are two main types of HEV: parallel (并联式) hybrid and series hybrid.
The parallel hybrid (PHEV) aims to keep the core designs of the conventional gas-powered vehicles while lowering the operation costs and improving the environmental performance. Reduced to its basics, its system uses ICE and electric motors to power the wheels — either together or independently. This structure performs reliably on long-distance journeys and complex road conditions, where the combustion engine operates efficiently.
In today’s market, conventional gas cars are going significantly cheaper, while stylish pure electric vehicles have become symbols of modern status. The HEV, striking a practical balance between these two extremes, certainly deserves a closer look.
Properties | Parallel Hybrid | Series hybrid |
Urban Efficiency | Lower | Higher |
Highway Efficiency | Higher | Lower |
Fuel Consumption | Higher | Lower |
Power Performance | Higher | Lower |
Sales Price | Lower | Higher |
21. What is an advantage of HEVs compared with other types of vehicles?
A. They’re simpler in design.B. They’re cheaper to purchase.
C. They’re more eco-friendly.D. They’re more practical to use.
22. What does the ICE in a series hybrid car directly work on?
A. Replacing the generator.B. Driving the wheels.
C. Starting the electric motor.D. Charging the battery.
23. In which aspect are PHEVs generally better than SHEVs?
A. Mountain road driving.B. In-city transportation.
C. Waste gases production.D. Vehicle running costs.
B
To see Garnett Puett’s latest sculpture at the Hammer Museum, you have to enter a dark room protected by a series of heavy curtains. Inside, glowing red light lights up a glass cage. Within the cage are three human figures with a large group of insects crawling over them. The bees move slowly over the faces of the figures. The colony of bees is so thick in places, it looks like fur (毛皮) growing on the statue — fur that moves.
“Woah.” “I’ve never seen.” Visitors say as they enter the silent room.
Puett has been making his “apisculptures”, using metal, beeswax (蜂蜡) and colonies of live bees, for four decades now. It’s art with a purpose: Puett wants to remind viewers of the power and creativity of bees, whose survival is under threat around the world. “It’s sort of subconscious advertising,” Puett said. “Bees are good.”
In the 1980s, when Puett’s bee sculptures first became an art world hit, people just thought he was a guy playing with bees. Actually, his use of bees came from a deep family tradition. He grew up as a fourth-generation beekeeper, whose family had worked with bees since the 1700s. His great-grandfather raised queen bees, passing the business down to his son and grandson. Puett worked on those farms as a teenager, starting with the simplest tasks. His bee farm experience has resulted in precision in the art he makes with bee colonies.
In the four decades since the eco-artist withdrew somewhat from the art world, he moved to Hawaii, where he and his family have spent three decades running an organic honey farm. The work is challenging and labor intensive. That work has put him on the frontlines of dealing with threats to bee populations. Foreign species have killed numerous bees on his family’s farm, shrinking the number of surviving beehives (蜂巢) from 4,000 to about 2,000 in the past 15 years.
“People used to call me up really mad saying words I can’t repeat if the hives were bothering them,” relates Puett with a laugh. “But since we lost half the bee population within two years, people are more aware of their importance and are far more understanding and appreciative. That’s been the one bright side to all this difficulty.”
24. What do visitors think of Puett’s bee sculpture?
A. It is controversial.B. It is revolutionary.
C. It is innovative.D. It is educational.
25. Why did Puett make his “apisculptures”?
A. To commercialize bee products.B. To advocate for bees through art.
C. To offer a shelter for threatened bees.D. To illustrate a new method of sculpture.
26. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?
A. Introduce the background of the bee art.B. Summarize the history of beekeeping.
C. Provide bee-themed activities for kids.D. Add four generations under one roof.
27. What was the impact of the bee population loss?
A. People became tolerant of Puett.B. Puett downsized his beekeeping.
C. Puett shifted his focus to his sculptures.D. Public perception of bees has been improved.
C
Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage.
The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months.
The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that agreeable, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an “affiliative (有亲和力的) function”, or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions.
Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable”, suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked.
The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working on your behalf.
28. What can we learn about the study from the first two paragraphs?
A. Poker faces bring social edge.B. 1,300 participants hid emotions.
C. Expressiveness is a consistent trait.D. Contexts change facial movements.
29. What may facial expressiveness serve as in negotiation settings?
A. A method to hide personality.B. A way to frighten competitors.
C. A strategy to settle disagreement.D. A tool to show personal qualities.
30. What does the underlined word “decipher” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Imitate.B. Overlook.C. Convey.D. Interpret.
31. What may the author advise based on the findings of the study?
A. Always wearing a still face.B. Learning to be an open book.
C. Speaking out inner emotions.D. Forcing a smile through tears.
D
MIAMI BEACH — South Florida is seeing a wave of new cars, but they won’t add to traffic. That’s because the cars are made of marine-grade (海洋级) concrete and were placed underwater. Over several days late last month, 22 life-size cars were lowered into the ocean, several hundred feet off South Beach.
The project, called “Concrete coral”, was organized by the nonprofit REEFLINE, a group known for building underwater sculpture parks as a way to create human-made coral reefs (珊瑚礁). And 2,200 native corals grown in a nearby Miami lab will soon be added to the underwater structure, which will serve as a habitat rich in ocean biodiversity. “I think we are making history here,” said Ximena Caminos, the group’s founder. “It’s a kind of underwater reef that’s teaming up with science, teaming up with art.”
Colin Foord, who runs the Miami coral lab, explained that they will soon start the planting process to create a forest of soft corals over the car sculptures. He said, “Nature will take over again, and we’re helping by growing the soft corals.” Foord is confident that the native Gorgon corals will boom because they were grown from survivors of the 2023 marine heat crisis which destroyed vast quantities of Florida corals.
Besides the project serving as a testing ground for new coral transplantation, Miami Beach governor Steven Meiner expects it to generate local jobs through ecotourism activities. The nonprofit also offers community education programs, where volunteers can plant corals alongside scientists, and a floating ocean learning center, where participants can gain firsthand experience in coral protection.
Caminos acknowledges that the underwater structure won’t fix all the problems — such as climate change and sea level rise — but she said it can serve as a driving force for dialogue about the value of coastal ecosystems.
32. Why were the concrete cars placed underwater?
A. To ease the traffic pressure.B. To breathe life into the ocean.
C. To promote a new art form.D. To make a home for corals.
33. What is the main reason for Foord’s growing the Gorgon corals?
A. Its soft nature.B. Its fast reproduction rate.
C. Its unique beauty.D. Its strong ability to survive.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Solutions to potential problems.B. Chain benefits of the project.
C. Expectations for new experiences.D. Responsibilities of the nonprofit.
35. What is Caminos’ attitude towards the project?
A. Concerned.B. Optimistic.C. Doubtful.D. Opposed.

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” 36Darkness and fear may cloud our vision, but moments of light — like flashes in a storm — reveal that our goals and dreams remain.
When overwhelmed by uncertainty, helplessness often takes over. Yet, as Thich Naht Hanh teaches, “The only way out is in.” 37Positive psychology shows that trusting yourself depends on cultivating inner peace and recognizing your character strengths.
Researchers studied 16,716 individuals from over 50 countries to understand traits linked to self-trust during uncertainty. They found that those with strong trust consistently reported greater inner peace. This group excelled in three emotional character strengths — gratitude, love, and hope. 38
Gratitude, the most studied of the three, is particularly powerful. It focuses on what has already happened, requiring no invention or manipulation. 39Instead of recalling only average events, asking for “three things you were grateful for yesterday” directs the brain to retrieve positive experiences. Over time, this reshapes our perspective, helping us savor moments and feel better. Daily challenges — political, financial, or personal — are unavoidable, but they need not consume us. By practicing gratitude, we train our minds to notice what uplifts us. This shift in perception fosters self-trust, reminding us that peace and strength lie within.
40Savor them. This simple practice opens the door to inner peace, proving that storms may rage, but stars still shine. With gratitude comes self-trust, and with self-trust comes a life of resilience and meaning.
A. Practicing gratitude changes how our brain searches memories.
B. This reminds us that even in difficult times, we can find guidance and hope.
C. Inner strength allows us to shift our focus inward, finding calm amid chaos.
D. Try it now: recall three experiences from the last 24 hours that made you grateful.
E. They promote harmony and resilience, and importantly, they can be taught and developed.
F. These strengths are valuable as they arise naturally in times of crisis and play a vital role in hardship.
G. It mainly helps people forget negative experiences, allowing the brain to erase unpleasant memories over time.

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。
When I arrived home from school, night was falling. A call came from the public: a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden. He scared them off and grabbed their victim. I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot.
We were standing in front of a stranger’s house in an unfamiliar street, rescue box in hand. My head full of instructions to follow. “The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!” Jack said excitedly. We had completed the two-day intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations.
But we were anxious, too. After all, it was the first time for us to rescue a bird. Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box? Many worries flashed in my mind. Sensing my unease about the act ahead, Jack said, “These things are pretty easy to deal with!”
I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kind-looking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient. I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angry-looking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs, together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water. He didn’t know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan. “It’s eaten some banana,” said the man proudly. The poor soul seemed rather nervous, so l decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoe box into my rescue box.
Back home, we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing, but there was no blood on its feathers. Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor (碘伏药水). We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day. How could we help it spend the night peacefully? We hadn’t seen this species of bird before, let alone its habits.
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。
“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack.
The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough.

Dear Jack,
I’m Li Hua from Class 3. I am writing to seek your help as I’ll participate in the school’s English impromptu speech competition.
The competition rules state that we must give a 3-minute speech on a randomly given topic with only 10 minutes for preparation. Judges will closely assess our language proficiency, logical thinking, and how well we perform on stage.
Given your outstanding expertise in public speaking, I really hope you can share some impromptu speaking tips with me, like how to quickly structure my speech logically, which expressions can make it more engaging, and how to conquer stage fright?
Your guidance will be extremely valuable to me. Thank you so much in advance!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
读后续写
“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack. We acted quickly and surfed the Internet to figure out the relevant information about the bird, such as its species and habits. Following the given advice, we put some cotton at the bottom of the box to keep it warm and placed it near the fireplace. In order to recover its energy, we gave it some food and water. The bird looked a bit more comfortable, and soon it fell asleep. Having ensured the bird was in good condition, we felt relieved.
The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough. It was singing and bouncing around in the rescue box. Obviously, it had regained its energy! Realizing it was fully ready for freedom, we took the box outside, placed the bird in my palm and petted it softly with mixed feelings. I held the bird up and let it go. The bird was circling above us as if to express gratitude. Jack and I looked at each other with a broad smile, feeling that we were qualified volunteer wildlife rescuers now.
