Last summer, on her way to work in Minneapolis, Katie Steller stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She 1 down her window, shouting, “Do you want a 2 haircut right now ”
Getting a yes, she pulled off the road, took a red chair from her car, and helped the man cut his hair. After Steller was 3 , the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he laughed.
To date, Steller has given such haircuts to people all living on the margins (边缘) around the city, and she is keenly aware of the 4 of her cleanup job.
A haircut changed Steller’s life: As a teen, with a severe disease, her hair got thinned. So, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut, where she felt 5 when talked to like a person. After that, Steller knew how to help people feel the way she’d felt that day. “I want it to be a gateway, to show 6 , but also to get to know people.”
In 2009, she began Red Chair Project, 7 out to people on the streets. What breaks Steller’s heart is just how lonely people look, so she listens to their stories of loss and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention 8 works.
And it all began with a 9 in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” says Steller, “I can’t fix people’s problems, but maybe I can help them feel less 10 for a moment.”

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节,38分）
第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Old and unrestored theatres are all around us and yet so unnoticed. A new photobook unveils their often overlooked beauty.
Proctor’s Theatre, Newark, New Jersey
Although available outdoors from street sellers, food was banned in theatres to display respectability. In the late 1920s, however, the operators in Proctor’s Theatre in Newark began to set up stands to improve the economic situation during the Great Depression. Popcorn and Coke would become a significant part of the theatre’s income.
Proctor’s Theatre, Troy, New York
Originally opened as Proctor’s Fourth Street Theatre in 1914, it hosted famous comedians such as Jack Benny and Bob Hope. From 1929, it was successively taken over, renamed as Proctor’s Troy Theatre and switched to screening films. In the 1960s, it began playing second-run films before closing in 1977. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1979. In 2010, the theatre was repaired but is currently not being used today.
RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre, New York
Originally opened in 1928, RKO Keith’s Flushing Theatre was designed by Thomas Lamb. In 1982, it was listed on the NRHP. In 1986, the theatre was bought and closed by its new owner who planned to build a shopping centre on the site, intentionally damaging the hall. In 2019, despite the preservation efforts, the hall was knocked down to make way for a residential tower block.
Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia
The theatre was originally opened as the Philadelphia Opera House in 1908. In the 1920s, it was renamed as the Metropolitan Opera House, showing silent films in addition to hosting various opera companies. In the 1940s, it became a sports arena. In 1954, it was turned into a church. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased by Mark Hatcher. The church and the developer came to an agreement on a repair for a music venue that was completed and reopened in 2018.

B
Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion ”
“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.
“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “People will come to see him. He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.
Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he slipped downstairs, took down his father’s hunting rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come.
“Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life, I’ll think of you. I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down the hill and walked away.
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.
There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.
24．Bertie’s mother was sad probably because she ______.
A．had been seriously ill recently
B．had decided to send Bertie to school
C．knew Bertie would hate to go to England
D．knew selling the lion would upset Bertie
25．In the last paragraph, the boy lifted the rifle to ______.
A．threaten the lion back to the wild B．show his anger towards his father
C．protect himself from the lion D．kill the lion out of anger
26．The passage intends to show that ______.
A．animal-hunting is popular in Africa
B．parents are sometimes cruel to their children
C．people and animals can be faithful to each other
D．animals usually lead a miserable life in circuses
C
A few years ago, the City Council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls. The sponsors of the measure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in such a bowl because the curved sides give the fish a distorted view of reality. Aside from the measure’s significance to the poor goldfish, the story raises an interesting philosophical question: How do we know that the reality we perceive is true
Physicists are finding themselves in a similar trouble to the goldfish’s. For decades they have been pursuing an ultimate theory of everything—one complete and consistent set of fundamental laws of nature that explain every aspect of reality. It now appears that this pursuit may generate not a single theory but a family of interconnected theories, each describing its own version of reality, as if it viewed the universe through its own fishbowl. This concept may be difficult for many people to accept. Most people believe that there is an objective reality out there and that our senses and our science directly convey (传达) information about the material world. In philosophy, that belief is called realism.
In physics, realism is becoming difficult to defend. Instead, the idea of alternative realities is a mainstay of today’s popular culture. For example, in the science-fiction film The Matrix the human race is unknowingly living in a simulated (模拟的) virtual reality created by intelligent computers. How do we know we are not just computer-generated characters living in a Matrix-like world If—like us—the beings in the simulated world could not observe their universe from the outside, they would have no reason to doubt their own pictures of reality.
Similarly, the goldfish’s view is not the same as ours from outside their curved bowl. For instance, because light bends as it travels from air to water, a freely moving object that we would observe to move in a straight line would be observed by the goldfish to move along a curved path. The goldfish could form scientific laws from their frame (框架) of reference that would always hold true and that would enable them to make predictions about the future motion of objects outside the bowl. If the goldfish formed such a theory, we would have to admit the goldfish’s view as a reasonable picture of reality.
The goldfish example shows that the same physical situation can be modeled in different ways, each employing different fundamental elements and concepts. It might be that to describe the universe we have to employ different theories in different situations. It is not the physicist’s traditional expectation for a theory of nature, nor does it correspond to our everyday idea of reality. But it might be the way of the universe.
27.．What does the underlined word “distorted” in Paragraph most probably mean
A．Original. B. False. C．Distant. D．Accurate.
28．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us
A．The need for a complete theory. B．The lasting conflict in physics.
C．The conventional insight of reality.D.The existence of the material world.
29．What can we learn from the passage
A．Nature’s mysteries are best left undiscovered.
B．An external world is independent of the observers.
C．People’s theories are influenced by their viewpoints.
D．It is essential to figure out which picture of reality is better.
30．According to the passage, the author may agree that ________.
A．physicists have a favorite candidate for the final theory
B．various interpretations of the universe are welcomed
C．multiple realities can be pieced together to show the real world
D．there is still possibility to unify different theories into a single one
D
Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the tricky, and misunderstood, overlap between strength-based science and the research on narcissism (自恋).
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers have gone so far as to say that it is occurring in epidemic proportions, with about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, out-of-control consumerism and materialism…perhaps even a new type of president.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful counter-reaction to approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting it is common for people to wrongly label this approach as a recipe for narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child arrogant, selfish and uncaring. Genuine confidence about one's strengths is categorized as over-confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration.
Why does this occur It's partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals or has been applied only within certain contexts such as the workplace, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and into our collective consciousness. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored "go-to" topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because we unknowingly fall prey to binary thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. There's no way that Gandhi and Mother Teresa could have achieved what they did without confidence in their strengths, and yet they are both pillars of modesty and selflessness.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to entertain the idea that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and focus on helping others.
It's tempting to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I'd like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble — even when they use their strengths.
31．Why teenagers' strengths are often mistaken for narcissism
A．Strengths psychology is less accessible to the general public.
B．Numbers of people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
C．There is a lack of strengths in our collective consciousness.
D．Academic journals and mass media report more on narcissism.
32．The author mentions Gandhi and Teresa in paragraph 6 to show that________.
A．they are both victims of binary thinking
B．one can be both modest and sure of himself
C．confidence is quite important for celebrities
D．public figures unknowingly fall prey to narcissism
33．What's the author's attitude towards young kids' strength-based approaches
A．Favorable. B．Skeptical. C．Neutral. D．Cautious.
34．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Teens' Strength Psychology B．Teens' Narcissism Diagnosis
C．Teen's Anxiety and Depression D．Teens' Confidence Misunderstood

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Photography is more than an art form; it can also serve as a powerful therapeutic (治疗) tool. Photo Therapy and therapeutic photography are gaining recognition for their potential to support emotional processing, self-expression, and mental health. 35 .
Photo Therapy refers to the structured use of photographs in a professional counseling setting. Therapists guide clients through interactions with personal images, including family photographs, self-portraits, or even abstract visuals, to explore emotions and experiences. The therapeutic process might include interpreting the symbolic meaning of a photo, discussing how it makes the client feel, or using it to explore relationships. 36 , as photographs can act as mediators (中介), allowing them to touch on challenging topics from a more comfortable distance and helping them uncover feelings and memories.
Unlike Photo Therapy, which requires a trained professional, therapeutic photography is an independent or group activity that anyone can engage in to support mental health. 37 . As noted on the Photo Therapy Centre website, capturing images encourages mindfulness, as it draws individuals into the present moment and helps them focus on their environment.
The act of creating can also help people process their emotions and tell their stories. 38 , which allows individuals to share feelings they may struggle to express in words. Engaging in photography can build confidence and self-awareness, giving individuals a sense of achievement as they create something visible and meaningful.
Whether guided by a therapist or pursued independently, photography is an accessible way to support wellbeing. 39 . For those looking to explore their emotions or seek new paths to self-discovery, picking up a camera might be the first step toward a brighter and healthier future.
These approaches are closely related
B. It bridges the gap between art and mental health
C. Some clients tend to hide their memories
D. Using a photo for conversations gives clients a sense of safety
E. This approach involves taking photographs or creating photo-based projects
F. A famous blog highlights how photography can serve as a visual journal
G.While they sound similar, they have distinct applications that make them uniquely beneficial

Leonardo Da Vinci was a genius: wildly imaginative, passionately curious and creative across multiple disciplines—painting, architecture, aeronautics, and engineering. Yet oddly the word “genius” minimizes him by making it seem as if he were touched by lightning.His early biographer made this mistake: “Sometimes, in a supernatural fashion, a single person is gifted by heaven with beauty, grace, and talent in such abundance that seems that his every act is divine(天赐的)”. In fact, the self-taught Leonardo’s genius was shaped by his own will and ambition. It did not come from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein.
Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity. His talent for combining observation with fantasy allowed him to make unexpected leaps that related things seen to things unseen.
Leonardo was also a very human genius. He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. “Tell me if ever I did a thing…Tell me if anything was ever made.”
His flawed humanity makes Leonardo more accessible. Even though we may never be able to match his talents, we can learn from him and try to be more like him. His life offers a wealth of lessons.
Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. Leonardo did not need to know how heart valves work to paint the Mona Lisa, nor did he need to figure out how fossils got to the top of mountains to produce Virgin of the Rocks. By allowing himself to be driven by pure curiosity, he got to explore more horizons and see more connections.
Keep a childlike sense of wonder. At a certain point in life, most of us quit puzzling over everyday phenomena. We might savor the beauty of a blue sky, but we no longer bother to wonder why it is that color. Leonardo did.
Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery...We can never learn enough from Leonardo.
40．What set Da Vinci apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart
41．Why was Da Vinci regarded as a very human genius
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Da Vinci’s life offers us a wealth of lessons, one of which is to seek useful knowledge.
43．Which quality of Da Vinci’s do you appreciate most How can it benefit you in your life （In about 40 words）
