1. 阅读理解
The brain is protected by shock-absorbing fluid and,outside that,the skull.In a concussion(脑震荡), the brain bounces around in the skull,accelerating,decelerating or revolving.This creates a series of impacts.The neurons(神经元)in the brain are disturbed,and between those neurons,the axons-thin fibers that transmit electrical impulses-stretch or break.Inside the brain,it's like an earthquake that has happened.Everything is still standing,but there are cracks in the roads and in building foundations.
This extremely small damage has big consequences.But decades ago,the public had a"walk it off" attitude towards concussions.That's changed,thanks in partto an increased awareness about the long-term effects.The 2015 film"Concussion"tells the true story of Dr Bennet Omalu,a forensic pathologist studying chronic traumatic encephalopathy(CTE),a brain disorder caused by repeated head injuries.
Until recently,the dark-room treatment was the standard prescribed by most doctors,involving patients resting in darkness and without any mental stimulation,until their symptoms eased off.This suggestion came out of studies in the 1990s and early 2000s that found when athletes with concussions continued with high levelsof activity,they recovered more slowly than those who rested.
But people who spend more time in a dark room-sometimes called "cocooning"-are also more likely to experience anxiety,depression and sleep problems.Their bodies get weaker due to underuse,as well.
"Science and research have evolved over the past decade,showing that when you stop doing activity altogether,that actually affects your recovery process,"says Babul,a sports-injury specialist.The active-rest approach to concussion recovery promotes a slow increase in activity,starting with a day or two of light daily movement,and gradually adding activity,building to a full return to normal,unrestricted activity.
"People who follow the right guidance and management tend to recover uneventfully,and those who don't and continue to do their activities continue to tax their brain and are likely to have long-term, persisting symptoms,"Babul says."The key is to recognize it immediately and know what to do."
(1)、What is the first paragraph mainly about?A、The workings of concussion. B、The causes of concussion. C、The symptoms of concussion. D、The effects of concussion.(2)、What leads to people's weaker bodies in the dark-room treatment?A、The dark environment. B、Their physical pain. C、Their insufficient activity. D、Their mental disorder.(3)、Which practice is advised to help with concussion,according to the passage?A、Setting a progressive fitness plan first. B、Doing heavy housework daily. C、Playing competitive sports regularly. D、Lying in bed for the whole day.(4)、What is the best title of the text?A、From Inaction to Action:Concussion Shocks B、From Darkness to Light:Concussion Recovery C、From Outside to Inside:Concussion Treatment D、From Nothing to Something:Concussion Study2. 阅读理解I loved to argue. My fixation on being right had been a mainstay in my life and had often stirred up trouble in my family;there were moments when my marriage became strained and my kids grew distant. The longest fight I had was with my parents, and it dragged on for nearly a year.
My habit seemed immortal. Until an afternoon with my granddaughter opened my eyes to the impact my behaviour was having on the people around me. We were playing a board game when she made a move that broke the rules. I corrected her, but she ended up making the same mistake again. I read the rules out loud and asked if she got it this time. She smiled at me and shook her head. "Grandpa, why are you so stubborn?"she asked. "It's just a game. We're here to have fun, aren't we?"Something about her words really hit home. We weren't there to be right, we were there to enjoy ourselves—how to move the pieces was merely a backdrop. What truly mattered was our bond and the moments we shared.
A few days later, my son came over for dinner. During the meal, he shared a viewpoint that struck me as baseless. Typically, I would have launched myself headfirst into a heated debate with him. But this time, as I parted my lips to respond, I found myself popping a forkful of pie into my mouth instead, enjoying it quietly. My tolerance surprised me, but what really took my breath away as I listened to him was a newfound desire to understand him. This experience brought me a joy that far surpassed(超出)the fleeting satisfaction of winning an argument.
In hindsight(事后想) , my drive to win hadn't really been about seeking the truth, but about showing I was better than everyone else. By letting go, I gained way more than I ever did by pushing back. Now I recognise that arguing at the dinner table is much like deciding to drink an extra cup of coffee. It is a matter of self-discipline. I had always understood this concept in theory, but it took a seven-year-old's intervention for me to apply it.
(1)、What did the author's passion for argument contribute to?A、Damaged relationship. B、Moral development. C、Troublesome children. D、Bittersweet marriage.(2)、What did the author learn from his granddaughter's words?A、Good habits were hard to develop. B、Rules didn't work in a board game. C、Adults were more serious than kids. D、Connection was more vital than right.(3)、What surprised the author most during the dinner?A、The awareness of tolerance. B、The flavour of the tasty food. C、The brief joy from winning. D、The urge to understand others.(4)、Why does the author mention an extra cup of tea?A、To spread a complex concept. B、To highlight the need for truth. C、To identify the root of his habit. D、To compare two daily activities.3. 阅读理解Human beings' curiosity about outer space hasn't declined in the past decade, and with Jeff Bezos' historic commercial flight to the edge of space this past summer, dreamers are that much closer to experiencing the Galaxy(银河系) for themselves.
It's reported that one company is aiming to make space a reality for people, and is pioneering a new age of space tourism. In 2019, the California-based company Gateway Foundation first explored the idea. Its dream was to make visiting space, in excellent accommodation, a future vacation choice. The project, now called Voyager Station, is run by Orbital Assembly Corporation, a construction company led by head of the Gateway Foundation and former pilot, John Blincow.
Space tourism draws closer as Orbital Assembly Corporation has announced plans to build the world's first to space hotel named "Voyager Station", which is expected to open in 2027. With a date in close sight, the hotel's architects and engineers are hard at work, aiming to design an out-of-this-world experience. They plan to decorate the suites with elegant bars and restaurants with a touch of space, as well as Earth-viewing lounges and unique space food treats. The team is also taking advantage of the reduced gravity that will be felt in the station to plan to let their guests weightlessly carry heavy objects, jump higher or run faster in ways people can't normally do on Earth.
Gravity will remain in the rooms and bars though because Voyager Station's scientific design makes it possible by creating artificial gravity within the hotel. The hotel is designed as a wheel that will steadily move and create simulated(模拟的) gravitational force, much like when a glass of water is spun around, the water doesn't pour out. The hotel's guests won't feel much different than being on a huge ship steadily moving.
(1)、What do we know about Gateway Foundation?A、It aimed to build a space hotel. B、It made space a reality for people. C、It promoted space tourism greatly. D、It planned a historic commercial flight.(2)、What will the Voyager Station team use the reduced gravity to do?A、Provide unique space food. B、Let guests do space sports. C、Offer recreational activities. D、Decorate suites more easily.(3)、Why does gravity exist in the rooms and bars?A、To prevent liquid from pouring. B、To make guests feel comfortable. C、To avoid guests' travel sickness. D、To keep things in normal positions.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、Time for Space Travel B、Space Tourism Gaining Popularity C、First-ever Commercial Flight to Space D、First Space Hotel Set to Open4. 阅读理解In a rough inner-city area in the eastern U. S., a small place was a lawless jungle. Broken glass, rubbish, and mindless drawings turned the space into a "no-go" zone for most of the residents. But one day, a small group of people living nearby decided that was enough. Seeking a resolution, they planned a project to turn the area into a community space, a space of healing, hope, and growth, not destruction and despair.
Moving in, the group realized that those who were using the space inappropriately early on must have a say. Then the group arranged a meeting, but no one came. Thinking outside the box, they started with one simple idea, building a white wall where anyone could leave their thoughts about the future of the site.
Not all of the suggestions were useful. But slowly, the group itself and others using the site began to see some progress. Those who would not usually have a voice in such discussions began to weigh in. They wrote things like "a place to meet up", "a creative space" and so on. Someone else said, "Clean up first."
The group began to clear the site, reusing materials that could be saved and removing the rest. One day, a couple of young men showed up and just started helping. Some other people passing by also took an interest and joined in. There were concerns that this would not last long, but over the weeks it remained. And, remarkably, someone even added a small side table. Colorful artwork was created.
The group added four small raised beds, planting crops in one of them. Gradually, as the greenery flourished, so did the bonds between the group and nearby residents. People who had never gardened before slowly got involved. The once-neglected corner blossomed into a bustling hub, a testament to the transformative power of collective hope and action.
(1)、What's the aim of the project?A、To make the land a community wonderland. B、To get local residents involved in art creation. C、To restore the "no go" area to its original beauty. D、To turn the deserted jungle into a meeting place.(2)、What was the challenge of the project at first?A、People had to build a wall to voice their opinion. B、People seemed indifferent to the project. C、People continued using the space inappropriately. D、People couldn't surpass the obstacles of the ordinary thought.(3)、What does the underlined phrase "weigh in" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Give assistance. B、Take notes. C、Make contributions. D、Offer opinions.(4)、What's the author's purpose in writing the text?A、To clarify the importance of greenery. B、To advocate establishing a harmonious ecosystem. C、To sing high praise for neighboring collaboration. D、To shed light on the community's future plans.二、任务型阅读

9. 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。I sat at the breakfast table with my four-year-old son, Matthew, trying to ignore the ache in my stomach. "Mama, want to play?" "Not today, baby." I shook my head. These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering from an operation. I hoped for strength and happiness, but the future seemed so hopeless.
Suddenly, Matthew jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. "Bird!" he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) seated in a rubber tree. It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I'd never seen one in our neighborhood before.
When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. "Look, Matthew," I said, pointing to the tree. "They're going to make a nest." The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree.
Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he'd run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I couldn't help but look forward to the doves' visits too.
Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was a safe enough spot for a nest, but the rubber tree's broad, thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves' nest to the ground. I heard the twigs break apart.
I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn't blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from the beginning. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nothing had happened.
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。
Paragraph 1:I knew I had to do something.
……
Paragraph 2:"It works! The birds are back!" Matthew announced.
