Years ag, my Singapre-based sister insisted my mther and I jin her fr the Christmas. My mum, a fearless wman, wuld get strangely nervus n flights. Perhaps the nly thing that cnvinced her t vercme her fears was the chance t piece tgether ur declining bnd.
Grwing up, mments with Mum were painfully shrt-lived because I spent mst time at the barding schl, reuniting nly during the hlidays. Every year, she wuld eagerly await my return, which wuld always lead t cnstant lving scenes. Thse valuable mments were gradually disappearing as I mved away fr university. Sn, ur relatinship became tense. She seemed unable t understand me and her stubbrn and ld-fashined advice frced me t shut myself. But the mre I pulled away, the mre I felt a lnging fr the bnd that had grwn s weak. Perhaps Singapre wuld give us a chance t breathe it back t life.
I assumed the immersive exhibits at Art Science Museum wuld refresh my mther, wh was an art student. Hwever, I was surprised when she just turned her nse up at the Bruges Whale, a sculpture using plastic waste t raise awareness abut cean pllutin. “It’s art, Mum! Be mre appreciative.” I defended.
Disheartened by the distance between us, I led her t the kid’s zne. We signed up fr a jint sketching activity, hping that wuld help us cnnect. As ur creative juices flwed, ur faded relatinship began t take n the hues (色调) and shades f smething sincere and beautiful.
“Lk!” she excitedly pinted twards a digital screen that displayed ur creatins. “That ne’s urs.” Mum went up and reached ut, tuching the fish as it mved its tail back and frth in the virtual tank.
Lking arund, I saw children sharing mments with their parents, and my wn childhd flashed back. That rare instance where she let slip an inner inncence and delight at a new experience revealed the little girl in her, wh was like me, had lst a vital cnnectin t respnsibilities f mtherhd.
“Our time tgether was like that f friends,” she remarks nw. “Yu were my mther, and I were a child fllwing yu arund.” Life has indeed cme full circle.

A new study has fund that a child’s reading speed can be imprved by simply increasing the space between letters within a piece f text. The research, led by Dr. Steven Stagg f Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), examined the benefits f letter spacing and clured verlays (颜色标注) amng children.
Tw grups f children, dyslexic (诵读困难) and nn-dyslexic children, were asked t read fur texts with either standard r extra-large letter spacing, bth with and withut a clured verlay. They were instructed t read the text ut lud while being recrded. The recrding was used t measure the number f errrs they made — specifically missed wrds, added wrds, wrng wrds, and prnunciatin — as well as the participants’ reading time.
The study discvered that text with increased space between letters prvided a benefit fr bth grups. On average, the dyslexia grup shwed a 13% increase in reading speed, while the grup f nn-dyslexic children shwed a 5% increase. In additin t imprving reading speed, it als resulted in a significant decline in the number f wrds missed by the children with dyslexia. Hwever, the study fund that clured verlays had n significant impact n reading speed r the reductin f errrs fr either grup.
Dr. Stagg, Senir Lecturer in Psychlgy at ARU, said, “We believe extra-large letter spacing wrks by reducing what is knwn as the ‘crwding effect’, which can hamper the recgnitin f letters and reduce reading speed.”
“Our findings strngly suggest that teachers can be cnfident that all children wuld be helped by increased letter spacing in reading materials,” Dr. Stagg added. “While we fund that clured verlays prvided little benefit, we suggest children shuld be encuraged t use verlays if they find these help their reading. Clured verlays may nt increase reading speeds, but they may extend reading stamina (持久力). Previus research suggests their benefits may nt becme apparent if reading time is less than 10 minutes and the shrt reading duratin f the tests in ur study may have put clured verlays at a disadvantage.”
28. What can we learn abut the research?
A. Nn-dyslexic children did nt benefit frm increased letter spacing at all.
B. The study fund that bth grups read faster with extra-large letter spacing.
C. Reading errrs f nn-dyslexic children increased with larger letter spacing.
D. Clured verlays significantly imprved the reading speed f dyslexic children.
29. What des the wrd “hamper” underlined in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Prevent.B. Obtain.C. Invlve.D. Change.
30. What des Dr. Stagg emphasise regarding clured verlays?
A. Their benefits fr reading stamina are immediate within shrt tests.
B. They are equally effective as increased letter spacing fr all children.
C. They shuld be abandned since they prvide n reading speed benefits.
D. Their ptential advantages may require lnger reading sessins t emerge.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究发现增加文本字母间距能提高儿童阅读速度，而颜色标注作用不显著。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“On average, the dyslexia grup shwed a 13% increase in reading speed, while the grup f nn-dyslexic children shwed a 5% increase.(平均而言，患有阅读障碍的儿童组的阅读速度提高了 13%，而未患阅读障碍的儿童组则提高了 5%)”可知，字母间距增大后，两组儿童（诵读困难组和非诵读困难组）的阅读速度均提升。故选B项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。分析句子语法结构可知，画线词所在定语从句的先行词为“crwding effect(拥挤效应)”，结合先行词含义“拥挤效应”，以及后文“reduce reading speed(降低阅读速度)”可推知知，阅读速度低的原因应是字母拥挤在一起，从而使字母识别有困难，阅读有困难，由此推知，“hamper the recgnitin f letters”应是“（拥挤效应）妨碍字母的识别”含义。因此，“hamper”应是“prevent(妨碍)”含义。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章末尾段内容“Clured verlays may nt increase reading speeds, but they may extend reading stamina (持久力). Previus research suggests their benefits may nt becme apparent if reading time is less than 10 minutes and the shrt reading duratin f the tests in ur study may have put clured verlays at a disadvantage.(彩色覆盖膜可能不会提高阅读速度，但可能会延长阅读耐力。之前的研究表明，如果阅读时间少于10分钟，它们的好处可能不会显现，而我们研究中测试的短阅读时间可能会使彩色覆盖膜处于不利地位)”可知，Dr. Stagg强调彩色覆盖膜在短时测试（低于10分钟）中效果不显著，但可能提升长期阅读的持久力，即，其潜在的优势可能需要更长的阅读时间才能显现出来。故选D项。

Fr 75 years, astrnmers have been searching fr extraterrestrial (地球外的) intelligence, ften shrtened t SETT. SETT invlves listening fr radi r ptical signals sent by intelligent civilizatins, but, s far, n artificial signals have been detected. The failure f SETI is called “The Great Silence”, but despite this, many scientists are cnfident that intelligent aliens d exist. There are thught t be at least 10 billin habitable wrlds in ur galaxy, and billins f years have passed in which any life n them culd have develped intelligence and technlgy.
METI, r messaging extraterrestrial intelligence, has been less cmmn. It invlves talking rather than listening. T sme, it is a cntrversial activity. The first attempts at cmmunicatin were unrealistic “messages in a bttle”. In 1972, NASA launched the Pineer 10 spacecraft twards Jupiter, which carried a bard with a line drawing f a man and a wman as well as symbls t shw where the craft riginated. In 1977, NASA fllwed this up with a glden recrd attached t the Vyager I craft. The 12-inch recrd held sunds and images chsen t cnvey the diversity f life n Earth.
Bth spacecrafts have since left the slar system. At their current speeds, it will be tens f thusands f years befre they reach anther star system. In the immensity f space, the dds that they will be fund are extremely small.
Nw, an internatinal team f astrnmers plans t use the wrld’s largest radi telescpe, FAST, lcated in China, t beam a message twards millins f stars that are 10,000 t 20,000 light years away. The new message is a cmbinatin f previus nes.
NASA signals t its remte spacecraft, meanwhile, have reached fur nearby stars. But perhaps we have already betrayed ur existence t aliens. Radi and televisin have been leaking int space fr nearly a century, in an expanding bubble f cmmunicatins that spans millins f stars-in thery, at least.
The ethical questin raised by METT is: Shuld we be sending a message at all? Scientists are divided. Befre he died, Stephen Hawking was utspken abut the danger f cmmunicating with aliens. If they have superir technlgy and are malign, they might destry us. Others see n prblem, given that the signals take millennia (一千年) t reach their destinatin. N internatinal rules gvern METI, s the experiments will cntinue.
My wn take is that the risk is abstract when the message will take millennia t be received. We have mre direct and existential threats than evil alien empires. My guess is that extraterrestrial intelligence and tech are s advanced that they are hard t cmprehend. After all, we share 99% f ur DNA with chimps and can’t cmmunicate with them.

【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 34. C
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述人类搜寻外星智慧生命（SETI）的失败以及向外星智慧生命发送信息（METI）的尝试、伦理争议和作者观点。文章涵盖SETI和METI的定义、历史努力（如先驱者和旅行者号任务）、当前计划（使用FAST望远镜）及相关挑战，包括信号传播的漫长性和潜在风险。全文围绕地外智慧生命的探索展开，强调科学界的努力和分歧。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“SETT invlves listening fr radi r ptical signals sent by intelligent civilizatins, but, s far, n artificial signals have been detected. (SETT涉及监听智能文明发出的无线电或光信号，但到目前为止，还没有检测到任何人工信号。)”可知，SETT想要的便是获得智能文明发出的信号，那它的失败就是没有获得这些信号。故选D项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段一二句“My wn take is that the risk is abstract when the message will take millennia t be received. We have mre direct and existential threats than evil alien empires. (我自己的看法是，当信息需要数千年才能被接收时，风险是抽象的。我们面临的威胁比邪恶的外星帝国更直接、更存在。)”可知，作者认为METI的风险是抽象的，尚未实际成形，但是我们面临其他的更直接存在的风险，言外之意便是与外星帝国相比，我们需要先解决这些更直接存在的风险。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段第三句“My guess is that extraterrestrial intelligence and tech are s advanced that they are hard t cmprehend. (我的猜测是，外星智能和技术是如此先进，以至于很难理解。)”可知，作者觉得外星的智能和技术会很难理解，画线句“After all, we share 99% f ur DNA with chimps and can’t cmmunicate with them.(毕竟，我们与黑猩猩共享99%的DNA，无法与它们交流)”是对“难以理解的程度”做了一个比喻，即使人和黑猩猩在基因上如此相似，我们和黑猩猩之间的互相理解沟通也是无法达成，不可能的，故可推断这个比喻暗含的语义为我们与外星智能文明的交流不太可能。故选C项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。文章通篇讨论SETI监听失败、METI发送信息的努力（如先驱者号、旅行者号）、当前计划（使用FAST望远镜）及信号传播挑战和伦理争议，核心是总结人类为搜寻地球外智慧生命所做的各种尝试，选项C“为寻找地球外智慧生命所做的努力”全面涵盖这一主题。故选C项。

第一节 (共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Randm acts f kindness culd happen anywhere at any time. It’s ften unexpected, but almst never unappreciated. Mst peple, at ne time r anther, have been n the receiving end f a randm act f kindness-that mment f pure altruism (利他主义) when a cmplete stranger stps t ffer aid, genersity r cmpassin. In a wrld where peple can be s fcused n what they’re ding, a randm act f kindness can make all the difference.
They can be relatively insignificant. Hannah Bailey frm Lndn, fr example, tld the Metr newspaper abut hw she was given her fruit and vegetable shpping fr free. The seller did her a kindness when it happened that she didn’t have any change t pay. She was happy abut it all day.
The city f Naples has lng had a traditin called ‘caffe sspes’. When buying cffee, a persn wh has recently been lucky wuld purchase tw cups but nly drink ne, leaving the secnd ne annymusly, ut f the gdness f their heart, fr a pr persn t claim fr free. This traditin is nw mre cmmn wrldwide.
Hwever, in sme cases, these little acts can be a matter f life and death. Take, fr example, the unnamed passenger, wh in June 2018 fell ff a statin platfrm nt an electric railway track in Trnt, Canada. A quick-thinking, but even nw unknwn, bystander selflessly leapt dwn t pull him t safety.
S, why d it? Often, the acts aren’t reciprcated (回报的). The peple never meet again. Accrding t UK charity The Mental Health Fundatin, acts like these can “give ur lives new purpse, shw us ther perspectives n ur wn prblems and even make us feel euphric-an extremely strng feeling f happiness and excitement.”
S give it a try. Hld pen a dr fr smene, deliver a cmpliment.
40. Why was Bailey given sme fruit fr free?
_______________________________________________________________________________
41. Hw des the traditin “caffe sspes” wrk in Naples?
_______________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
A passenger, wh fell ff the statin platfrm, was saved by a quick-thinking bystander and cnsequently they became gd friends
_______________________________________________________________________________
43. What specific act culd yu d in yur daily life t spread kindness? And explain why it matters. (In abut 40 wrds)
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Because the seller did her a kindness when it happened that she didn't have any change t pay.
41. In Naples, when buying cffee, a persn wh has recently been lucky wuld purchase tw cups but nly drink ne, leaving the secnd ne annymusly fr a pr persn t claim fr free.
42. A passenger, wh fell ff the statin platfrm, was saved by a quick-thinking bystander and cnsequently they became gd friends.
Accrding t the text, the quick-thinking bystander wh saved the passenger’s life still nw was unknwn, s they didn’t becme gd friends.
43. One specific act I culd d is t hld pen a dr fr smene. It matters because it shws respect and cnsideratin fr thers, which can als bring cnvenience, making them feel appreciated and valued.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述了随机善行的重要性和影响。这些善行随时随地都可能发生，虽然可能微不足道，但却能给人带来深远的影响。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Hannah Bailey frm Lndn, fr example, tld the Metr newspaper abut hw she was given her fruit and vegetable shpping fr free. The seller did her a kindness when it happened that she didn’t have any change t pay. (例如，来自伦敦的Hannah Bailey向《地铁报》讲述了她是如何免费获得水果和蔬菜的购物经历的。当时她没有零钱付款，卖家好心帮她免了单。)”可知，Bailey没有零钱付账时，卖家出于好意免费送了她水果和蔬菜。故答案为Because the seller did her a kindness when it happened that she didn’t have any change t pay.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“ When buying cffee, a persn wh has recently been lucky wuld purchase tw cups but nly drink ne, leaving the secnd ne annymusly, ut f the gdness f their heart, fr a pr persn t claim fr free. (买咖啡时，一个最近走运的人会买两杯但只喝一杯，出于善心，他会把另一杯匿名留下，让穷人可以免费领取。)”可知，在Naples，“caffe sspes”的传统是这样的：买咖啡时，一个最近很幸运的人会买两杯但只喝一杯，把另一杯匿名留给穷人免费领取。故答案为In Naples, when buying cffee, a persn wh has recently been lucky wuld purchase tw cups but nly drink ne, leaving the secnd ne annymusly fr a pr persn t claim fr free.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Take, fr example, the unnamed passenger, wh in June 2018 fell ff a statin platfrm nt an electric railway track in Trnt, Canada. A quick-thinking, but even nw unknwn, bystander selflessly leapt dwn t pull him t safety. (以 2018 年 6 月在加拿大多伦多的一名未透露姓名的乘客为例，他从站台跌落至电气化铁轨上。一位反应迅速但至今身份不明的旁观者毫不犹豫地跳下去，将他拉到了安全地带。)”可知，这位反应迅速的旁观者无私地跳下铁轨把乘客救到安全地带，至今身份不明，即表示他们再也没有见过面，所以他们并没有成为好朋友。故题干中的错误部分是“cnsequently they became gd friends”。故答案为A passenger, wh fell ff the statin platfrm, was saved by a quick-thinking bystander and cnsequently they became gd friends. Accrding t the text, the quick-thinking bystander wh saved the passenger’s life still nw was unknwn, s they didn’t becme gd friends.
【43题详解】
开放性试题。本题为开放性试题，结合个人生活经验，回答合理即可。本人认为，在日常生活中，我可以为别人做的具体善举之一是为别人开门。这很重要，在带来便利的同时，它也表现出对别人的尊重和体贴，让他们感受到被重视和珍惜。故答案为One specific act I culd d is t hld pen a dr fr smene. It matters because it shws respect and cnsideratin fr thers, which can als bring cnvenience, making them feel appreciated and valued.
