However, a few months ago, I began to worry that I was spending too much time on my phone, often switching between online news and short-video apps.When I read about changing my phone to black-and-white mode, I decided to try it. The result was surprising. The moment I turned off the color, I no longer felt the same urgent need to check my phone. I experienced a strong sense of relief. It felt as if an invisible bond had been cut.After that, I began leaving my phone in another room as I moved around the house. I’d go hours without checking it, rather than just minutes. The amount of time I spent on my phone dropped by about 40 percent.Scientists call this condition “problematic smartphone use,” which refers to the difficulty controlling the urge to use a phone, often to the point that it affects daily life. For me, checking my phone was often a way to reduce anxiety.Life in grayscale (黑白模式) also brought some small inconveniences. For example, I sometimes hung up calls by mistake because both buttons were gray. Photos also looked strange, especially the colorful images sent by my family.However, I discovered that games were less appealing in black and white, and social media apps became less interesting. Gradually, I started using my phone less and paying more attention to real life.After a few weeks, I noticed another change. I began reading more books, spending more time with my family, and planning social activities. I found myself enjoying these real-world experiences more than using my phone.Now, I feel that turning off color on my phone has made me more aware of the beauty of real life. Although I still use my phone every day, I no longer feel controlled by it.20. Which sentence in the passage explains why the author felt “controlled” by his phone before using grayscaleA. After a few weeks, I noticed another change.B. Life in grayscale also brought some small inconveniences.C. I have long been skeptical about the idea that phones are addictive devices.D. I began to worry that I was spending too much time on my phone, often switching between online news and short-video apps.21. What does the underlined sentence “It felt as if an invisible bond had been cut” in Paragraph 2 most likely meanA. The author found the phone less useful in daily life.B. The author decided to stop using the phone completely.C. The author became less connected with people around him.D. The author no longer relied on the phone as much as before.22. What can we learn from the author’s experienceA. Digital behavior can be shaped by small adjustments.B. Technology should replace real-life interaction.C. Phones are the main source of modern anxiety.D. Personal habits are difficult to change.CExpert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure compared with beginners, which probably help them better identify birds and may even protect against age-related cognitive (认知的) decline.When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself, strengthening and streamlining relevant pathways. This ability, known as neuroplasticity (神经可塑性), supports the development of expert skills. It is why professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions involved in hearing.To understand whether birding also shapes the brain, Erik Wing at York University and his colleagues analysed brain structure and function in 48 hobbyist birders, half experts and half beginners, as judged by a screening test. Participants were aged 22 to 79, and both groups were similar in terms of sex, age, and education.While undergoing brain scans, the participants were shown an image of a bird for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they tried identifying the same bird from one of four images, each showing a different species. “We intentionally picked highly confusable bird species,” says Wing.The task was repeated 72 times. In total, the researchers used images of 18 bird species — six of which were local and 12 of which weren’t — as targets.As expected, expert birders could identify birds better than beginners. On average, they accurately identified 83 percent of local bird species and 61 percent of the non-local ones. In contrast, beginners correctly identified 44 percent of both groups of birds.While identifying non-local birds, activity in three brain areas increased in expert birders. These areas are the front part of the brain, an inner region related to attention, and a back part of the brain responsible for visual processing. These areas also appeared more organised and structurally complex. “It speaks to the wide range of cognitive processes that are involved in birding,” says Wing.As we age, structural complexity and organisation in the brain tend to decrease. But this decline was less pronounced in expert birders, suggesting birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to defend itself against ageing and adapt to damage.“It suggests that maintaining brain activity through specialised abilities is also linked to reduced effects of ageing,” says Robert Zatorre at McGill University. However, to determine whether the brain changes are truly due to birding, researchers would need to scan the brain multiple times over months or years, says Wing.23. Why did researchers choose “highly confusable bird species”A. To keep participants’ attention on birds.B. To better test real bird-identification skills.C. To reduce the time needed for the experiment.D. To concentrate on rare birds from other countries.24. Which finding best supports the idea of “cognitive reserve”A. Beginners rely on memory rather than observation.B. Beginners have lower accuracy in bird identification.C. Experts experience slower age-related cognitive decline.D. Experts show increased activity in three different brain areas.25. To improve the study, researchers should ________.A. test only local birdsB. use fewer bird speciesC. involve only expert birdersD. follow participants over several years26. Which would be the best title for the passageA. Why Birds Are Hard to IdentifyB. How Nature Improves Mental HealthC. Birdwatching May Reshape the BrainD. The Age Difference Between Expert BirdersDPollution is making many cities increasingly unlivable for people, but it is also tearing ant families and communities apart. Ants recognise one another by detecting a thin layer of hydrocarbons on their exoskeletons; each community has its own distinctive “smell”. However, a new study reveals that ozone emissions (臭氧排放) can change the structure of these hydrocarbons. After ants are exposed to urban air containing around 100 parts per billion of ozone, their nestmates no longer recognise them. Some are attacked by members of their own community, while others neglect larvae (幼虫) exposed to ozone, leaving them to die.This story is a case of anthropomorphism — projecting human characteristics onto non-human creatures. Although many scientists criticise anthropomorphism as misleading, others draw parallels between ants and humans to explain the evolution (进化) of selflessness and social networks. Famously, entomologist E. O. Wilson used ants as evidence for his theory of “sociobiology,” which suggests that many animal behaviours result from evolutionary necessity. Evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, however, criticised this idea as “biological determinism,” warning that it could justify unfair genetic policies.But something fundamental has changed. Deborah Gordon, a Stanford biologist, discovered that ant behaviour can be understood algorithmically (以算法的方式). Working with computer scientists, she showed that ants allocate tasks through distributed signalling networks. If a worker ant discovers a large food source, she leaves behind a chemical trail for others to follow. Other ants detect the signal and realise that more food-searching ants are needed, dropping what they are doing to join the task. There is no leader. Gordon nicknamed this process “the anternet” because it works like the way computer networks manage data flow.Algorithmic determinism has replaced biological determinism, but the result for ants remains the same: humans continue to use them as examples rather than appreciating them as creatures with their own distinct forms of social life. This brings us back to pollution. Gordon’s anternet depends on ants from the same community meeting, exchanging information, and determining whether to assist their sisters. But when ozone changes their hydrocarbons, they can no longer recognise one another and cooperate effectively. The collapse of communication could ultimately lead to the death of the community.To humans, this may seem insignificant. But we share the planet with other creatures. If we fail to limit ozone pollution, we may destroy entire social systems beyond our own. Perhaps it is time we should stop using ants as examples for ourselves and our machines, and start caring about who they really are.27. What ability is most affected after ozone exposure in antsA. The ability to recognize nestmates.B. The ability to locate food sources.C. The ability to find their nests.D. The ability to call for help.28. What does the underlined phrase “draw parallels” in Paragraph 2 most probably meanA. Identify similarities. B. Create conflicts.C. Conduct experiments. D. Develop theories.29. What can be inferred about the “anternet” described in the passageA. It reduces the need for ants to detect chemicals.B. It depends heavily on reliable communication signals.C. It requires a leader to organize food-searching behaviour.D. It was developed by computer scientists and later used to study ants.30. What is the author’s attitude toward using ants as examples for humans or machinesA. Doubtful. B. Critical.C. Positive. D. Indifferent.IV. 阅读表达（共4小题；46-48题每小题2分，49题3分，共9分）阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。I used to have an extremely poor natural memory. I constantly struggled to remember names, dates, and vocabulary, and any new knowledge I learned would quickly slip from my mind. Discouraged by this weakness, I decided to master professional memory techniques. As a competitor in my sixties, I won the Australian Memory Championships in both 2017 and 2018. Over the past decade, I have built kilometres of memory palaces to store a wide range of knowledge, including geography, foreign vocabulary, and much more.The memory palace, also known as the method of loci, is an ancient technique originating in Ancient Greece. Simply put, it is a customized mental space where people store and organize information. Unlike rote memorization, it requires deep understanding rather than blind repetition. I follow several clear steps to build my own memory palaces. First, I choose a familiar location, such as my house, and arrange fixed spots in a clear order, such as the front door, the bookcase, and the table. Second, I attach information to these locations by creating vivid and striking mental associations. Third, I repeatedly take a mental walk through the space in order to become familiar with the sequence. I also follow a rule of marking every fifth location for easier recall, which helps prevent me from missing any information.I have gained many benefits from this powerful technique. It not only helps me memorize information efficiently but also allows me to keep knowledge for a long time. This works because the hippocampus in our brain is highly sensitive to spatial information (空间信息). By linking knowledge to specific locations, I can transfer short-term memories into long-term ones, while vivid mental associations further strengthen recall. In addition, this method improves cognitive abilities such as concentration and curiosity. With knowledge clearly organized in my mind, I am able to connect unrelated ideas and stimulate creativity.This technique is suitable for every learner. Even though I am not naturally good at visualizing images, I can still memorize effectively through logical stories and associations. I have built various memory palaces for geography, history, and foreign languages without being limited by physical space. Instead of depending entirely on the Internet to search for information, I firmly internalize knowledge. With regular scientific review, the information can remain in my memory for years. In conclusion, the memory palace is an easy-to-learn skill that can greatly improve both learning efficiency and memory capacity.31.
