On my fifteenth birthday, I had some good luck while digging in our wild backyard. My shovel (铁锹) hit a rusty box buried under dead roses. I forced it open. Inside lay an old film camera, its leather case cracked with age, and a faded photo of a shining garden, signed “Fiona, Age 16.” That night, under the dim kitchen light, my mother’s voice trembled: “I once dreamed of being a photographer.” Her words lit a fire in my heart.
Starting from scratch, I saved every penny—even skipped pizza days at school—to buy film. All my first photos were failures—a squirrel turned into a gray unclear shape; sunset clouds melted into white soup. Dad shook his head: “Don’t beat a dead horse.” But one rainy afternoon, Mum tiptoed into my room and left her old photography book on my bed. Her note jumped out from a yellow page: “Beauty hides in broken places.” It was exactly the inspiration I needed.
Taking her words into heart, I wandered around our town like a detective, capturing forgotten spots: purple flowers hugging a broken water pipe, spider webs shining on a junked bicycle. When the “Hidden Beauty” contest started, I spent hours kneeling in the backyard. My jeans got dirty with mud, but I kept waiting until sunset, a special time when the light turned a lonely rose among thorns (荆棘) into gold.
When the newspaper published my story with the headline “Teen Finds Magic in Ruins”, it was finally my moment to succeed. At the award ceremony, Mum held her worn handkerchief, tears welling up. “You’ve made it shine,” she whispered.
Now, my exhibit “Broken but Bright” tours cities. At each opening, mother’s photo greets visitors beside her camera. When asked why I focus on damaged places, I say: “True passion isn’t about being perfect. It’s about noticing small beautiful things in messy places, discovering hope where others see nothing, and making forgotten dreams come alive.”
4．What motivated the boy’s financial discipline
A．Camera upgrade. B．Film purchase. C．School activities. D．Box restoration.
5．What best describes the main character’s personality
A．Act on sudden ideas. B．Rely on others’ help.
C．Keep trying despite failures. D．Prefer perfect subjects.
6．Which of the following statements is supported by the text
A．The first photos won a local contest.
B．Mum secretly provided helpful resources.
C．The camera was found in a brand-new box.
D．Dad fully supported his photography dream.
7．What can be the best title for the text
A．Dangers of exploring ruins. B．Family conflicts over dreams.
C．Hope exists in forgotten places. D．The value of expensive cameras.
Did you make any decisions this New Year If you did, are you keeping to them Well done if you are. A survey suggests almost half gives up by the end of March. More authoritative scientific studies confirm, regardless of when you start, that it takes months for a new behaviour to stick.
Habitual behaviour emerges in response to dopamine (多巴胺), a chemical associated with offering pleasure, produced as a consequence of a certain action. Two brain systems are relevant. One, in the basal ganglia (a set of structures deep in the brain), responds automatically and predictably to certain stimuli (刺激物). For example, your morning alarm is a stimulus that activates your “getting up” habit. This will include sub-habits such as “shower”, “make coffee”, “get dressed”, and “drive to office” and so on, each with their own causing factors and dopamine reward.
The other brain system, which is goal-directed, is located in the cortex, that organ’s outer layer. Its dopamine reward comes from an intentional action being successfully performed. This goal-directed system can, if needs be, override the stimulus-response one. For example, if the radio tells you of a traffic problem, the “drive to office” subroutine will need some change.
For one-off changes of habits, this arrangement of routine and override works well. But permanent changes, such as either breaking an old habit or making a new one, require, respectively, weakening the stimulus-driven system to reduce the relativity of old stimuli and strengthening the goal-directed one to increase that of new ones.
Why people learn bad habits in the first place remains mysterious. Most habits form precisely because they are helpful. Automatic behaviors, like those involved in a morning routine, lighten the mental workload and make more brainpower available for other tasks. However, these processes can be subverted.
In the end, forming good habits and breaking bad ones often comes down to willpower. As the old joke has it: “How many psychoanalysts does it take to change a light bulb Only one, but the light bulb has to really want to change.”
8．What is the main role of dopamine in habit formation
A．It helps drive motivation.
B．It results in a certain task reaction.
C．It produce chemicals to prevent the addiction.
D．It provides enjoyment to strengthen behaviors.
9．Why might someone find it difficult to break a bad habit according to the passage
A．Because the bad habit is really helpful.
B．Because its formation remains mysterious.
C．Because the goal-directed actions are not ruling.
D．Because the basal ganglia response is too deep-rooted.
10．What does the underlined word “subverted” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Destroyed. B．Supported. C．Maintained. D．Enhanced.
11．What is the central theme of the passage
A．The impact of habits on mental health.
B．The significance of dopamine in habit formation.
C．The process of habits formation and the role of willpower.
D．An overview of brain systems involved in habit development.
For decades, people have argued whether wood or plastic cutting boards are safer. This debate involves both material properties and how these surfaces interact with invisible threats like bacteria and microplastics.
In the 1990s, food safety researcher Dean Cliver conducted experiments that overturned common assumptions, demonstrating how wood’s natural architecture gives it an unexpected edge. When he added both materials with harmful bacteria like Salmonella, plastic boards kept germs within knife scratches (划痕) even after careful washing, whereas wooden boards exhibited a remarkable self-cleaning mechanism. When bacteria were placed on wood surfaces, they disappeared within hours. This happens because wood’s small spaces naturally absorb the bacteria, trapping and drying them through capillary action (毛细作用).
Plastic boards, though praised for their affordability and ease of cleaning, present two problems. While their smooth surface resists initial pollution, repeated knife use creates tiny grooves (凹槽) where bacteria boom and a study found that scratched plastic boards harbor eight times more bacteria than new ones. Furthermore, plastic boards release microplastics, tiny plastic particles that gradually build up in the environment. Researchers calculate that the amount released by one board each year can reach the weight of a standard credit card.
The path to safety lies not in choosing a “perfect” material but in understanding how to maximize each board’s strengths through proper care. Plastic boards are ideal for raw meats provided they’re replaced every six to twelve months before deep scratches form. Wood demands more attentive care: it should be handwashed immediately after use, smoothed its surface regularly, and stored upright. Both types must be cleaned thoroughly after each use, as even vegetables can carry bacteria.
Ultimately, the safest choice depends less on the material itself than on the user’s commitment. Home cooks should treat cutting boards as vital kitchen tools that need regular care, including thorough cleaning with precise techniques, weekly cleaning using a bleach-water mixture, and timely replacement when wear leads to potential dangers. Through these practices, daily cooking activities become effective ways to ensure food safety and prevent health risks. After all, the humbles t kitchen tool becomes extraordinary when understood through science.
12．What did Cliver’s experiments reveal about wood
A．It resists knife scratches. B．It stops water absorption.
C．It lasts longer than plastic. D．It naturally prevents bacteria.
13．What is the main focus of Paragraph 3
A．Advantages of plastic boards. B．Hidden risks of plastic boards.
C．Pollution caused by microplastic. D．Comparison between wood and plastic.
14．Why should plastic boards be replaced periodically
A．To match kitchen style. B．To prevent bacterial buildup.
C．To enhance cutting efficiency. D．To reduce cleaning frequency.
15．What does the author imply about board keeping
A．Board keeping ensures food safety.
B．Board keeping is necessary and effective.
C．Board keeping is convenient for most cooks.
D．Traditional board care is outdated with new technology.
Strategic Weekend Learning for Senior High Students
Weekends present prime opportunities for academic enhancement when employed thoughtfully. 16 This strategic approach allows students to address challenging subjects systematically while preserving mental clarity. To achieve this balance, consider implementing these proven strategies that transform weekends into productive learning sessions.
The first point involves not maintaining weekday study intensity during weekends. 17 Scientific evidence confirms that if you study nonstop for over 5 hours, your memory of what you learned drops by 40%. To fight against this decline, experts recommend scheduling short breaks, during which you can do something relaxing like enjoying a movie or listening to your favorite songs.
18 Instead of saying, “I’ll practice writing,” create a detailed plan like: “Write three 500-word essays this Sunday morning, each focusing on using at least five linking words to connect paragraphs.” These concrete goals act like a study roadmap — you know exactly what to do, how to do it, and how to track success. This clarity turns unclear efforts into visible achievements.
While academic effort remains essential, physical engagement is equally vital. This balance not only keeps the body healthy but also fuels the mind. 19 Activities like cycling or swimming bring two main benefits: better blood flow to the brain and more oxygen reaching brain cells. Consequently, students who prioritize these sessions report 25% higher problem-solving accuracy.
Systematic evening revision reinforces knowledge. Conclude weekends with a 20-minute Sunday reflection habit: first evaluate accomplishments, then analyze persistent difficulties, finally refine upcoming weekly plans. 20 It ensures smooth integration between independent weekend learning and classroom requirements through continuous adjustment.
A．Set clear and specific learning goals.
B．Complete assignments immediately regardless of tiredness.
C．Design a mindmap-based study schedule.
D．Continuous studying reduces academic returns.
E．Peer discussions simplify complex concepts.
F．This habit turns efforts into progress.
G．Regular exercise improves brain function.

A Father’s Love
In the depths of my heart, there’s a place filled with warm memories of my father’s love. He was a man of few words but an abundance of affection. As I look back on my life, one particular event stands out, showcasing the depth of my father’s love.
It was a warm summer day when I decided to build a treehouse, at the age of ten. My enthusiasm topped my carpentry skills, and the project quickly appeared a mess and my initial optimism began to decrease.
Seeing my frustration, my father, a man who rarely spoke but presented boundless warmth, stepped into the backyard. Instead of scolding me for the mess I had created, he calmly sat down and said, “Let’s tackle this together.” With his patient guidance, we organized the scattered (凌乱的) materials and started over. He patiently showed me how to measure, cut, and assemble the planks, while explaining each step in length. With his strong, calloused hands and encouraging words, the treehouse slowly took shape.
As the treehouse grew, so did my confidence. I realized it wasn’t just about building a wooden structure; it was about the bond strengthening between my father and me. We talked, laughed, and shared stories, creating a day that would forever be remembered in my memory.
That summer day became a symbol of my father’s love and his unwavering support. It taught me the value of patience, understanding, and the importance of spending quality time with loved ones. The memory of that day served as a reminder that love isn’t just about words; it’s conveyed through actions, through being there when it matters most.
But life took an unexpected turn as I found myself buried in a demanding corporate job in adulthood. My father’s health got worse, and regrettably, I had to prioritize my career over spending time with him. The once-beloved treehouse, a symbol of our bond, gathered dust in the yard.

47．【答案】 During a business trip, I received a call from home bearing the news of my father’s sharply declining condition. My heart sank as I listened to the details, and I immediately rearranged my schedule to return home. Upon arriving, I found my father weak but still holding on to his characteristic warmth. He greeted me with a weak smile, his voice softer than I remembered. During those days, we spent time together in quiet moments, revisiting old memories. The treehouse, weathered by time, stood as a silent witness to our past. The day my father passed away, the autumn leaves were falling silently from the treehouse.
Months later, on what would have been my father’s 70th birthday, I took my 8-year-old son to the treehouse. He suggested repairing it. As we worked, memories flooded back. I shared how work had kept me from visiting during Grandpa’s final years. “Will you be too busy for me too, Dad ” he asked innocently with his eyes widening. The question cut through my heart. Meeting his eyes, I made a promise that every Saturday would be our treehouse day. Upon finishing, my son labeled it “Grandpa’s Gift” above the door. Now the treehouse serves as a reminder that while jobs require attention, family remains a priority.
