B. Read the passage and choose the best answer.（根据以下内容选择最恰当的答案）
Curiosity: A Lifelong Gift
Curiosity is an inborn ability that stays with us throughout life. Let’s see how it shows at different stages.
Babies
When babies see new or unfamiliar things, their eyes light up. They stare, reach out, and try to understand these unknown objects — maybe a colorful rattle (拨浪鼓), a moving curtain, or even their own dry hands. They wave their fingers, grab at toys, and laugh happily as they connect “this thing” to“ that feeling.” It’s their first step to explore the world, one small discovery at a time.
Preschoolers
Preschool kids are little explorers with boundless energy. They spend ages playing with toys, taking them apart (if allowed) and putting them back together— whether it’s a building block tower, a plastic car, or a stuffed animal with removable parts. They might ask, “What’s inside ” as they pry open (弄明白) a puzzle, or giggle while mixing mud and water to see “what happens.” Every toy, every puddle, every bug under a rock is a mystery waiting to be solved.
School Children
At school, curiosity drives kids to ask endless questions. “Why is the sky blue ” “How do birds fly ” “Do fish sleep ” These questions aren’t annoying — they’re signs of a hungry mind eager to learn. They lean forward in class when the teacher talks about dinosaurs, rush to the library to check out books on space, and even argue playfully with friends over “the right answer”— all because they can’t wait to know more.
Grown- ups
Even as adults, we stay curious. We read books to learn new ideas, whether it’s a novel set in a foreign land or a guide to growing houseplants. We travel to discover new cultures — tasting street food in a bustling market, learning a few words of a local language, or marveling at ancient temples. We try new hobbies too: baking sourdough (发酸面团) bread to see how yeast works, picking up a guitar to learn a favorite song, or gardening to watch seeds turn into flowers. Curiosity never fades; it just takes new forms.
So, never lose your curiosity. It’s the key to a life full of learning and wonder.
1. What do babies do when they meet with something new, according to the passage
A. They ask simple questions like “What’s this ”.
B. They try to grab, stare, and feel the unknown object.
C. They share it with other babies around them.
D. They wait for adults to explain it to them.
2. Why do preschoolers spend a lot of time with toys
A. They want to show off their toys to friends.
B. They need to practice hand skills by playing.
C. They are trying to figure out how toys work.
D. They are told to do so by their parents.
3. What does the underlined words “boundless energy” probably mean in the passage
A. Very little energy B. Energy only for playing
C. Energy that is easily lost D. Energy that never runs out
4. Which of the following shows that curiosity “takes new forms” in adults as mentioned in the passage
A. A mother watching her baby reach for a rattle, smiling at his curiosity.
B. A father helping his preschooler take apart a toy to see how it works.
C. A teacher reading a book about ancient civilizations to learn new stories.
D. A neighbor chatting with others about the weather, just to pass time.
5. What is the main-idea of the passage
A. Curiosity changes its forms as people grow older.
B. Curiosity is a lifelong ability that enriches every stage of life.
C. Different age groups have different ways to explore the world.
D. Adults should learn from children to keep their curiosity alive.
C. Choose the best answer and complete the passage.选择最恰当的选项完成短文。
Procrastination (拖延) is a common problem that almost everyone faces at some time. Think about it: you sit down to finish a work report that’s due tomorrow, but instead you spend an hour scrolling through social media. Most people think this is because we’re bad at managing time. But it’s actually a deeper problem tied to our feelings. The ___1___ we’re putting off — perhaps it’s boring, too difficult or we’re deeply afraid of failing causes negative feelings.
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, USA, conducted a pioneering study in the early 2000s. They first had participants read sad stories to cause negative emotions and found that this emotional state ___2___ their likelihood of procrastinating before an intelligence test.
Further research has also highlighted the ___3___ of procrastination. A study has shown that putting things off regularly can affect mental and physical health because of growing guilt and frustration from avoiding important work. Studies also show that long-term procrastination leads to higher levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙), which make the immune system weaker. ___4___, it raises the chance of unhealthy habits: skipping exercise because you “don’t have time” after procrastinating, or eating junk food to deal with stress. In the long run, these habits can result in serious health problems like sleep disorders.
All of this means that overcoming procrastination can bring positive changes to life. Pychyl advises: “Next time when you feel like procrastinating, try focusing on a simple question —‘If I start acting now, what’s the next ___5___ a small, doable move I would take ’ Doing this takes your mind off your feelings and onto something you can do right now. Our research and personal experience have shown us very clearly that once we get started, we’re typically able to keep going. Getting started is everything.”
1. A. task B. invitation C. writing D. decision
2. A. displayed B. reduced C. increased D. balanced
3. A. development B. harm C. process D. benefit
4. A. As a result B. In addition C. On the other hand D. In fact
5. A. idea B. plan C. choice D. action

When Red 3869, the latest robot, was on the production line, there was a power cut. His wires went wrong.
When the laboratory was back up and running, Jones, the assistant, did loads of checks on Red 3869. She turned his arms slowly, pressed his buttons, and looked at Red seriously.
Finally, she switched Red on and said, “Robot report—what is your name and serial number ” “Good question!” said Red. “Let me scan my database...Rodolfino No, too fussy. Pete No. Gertrude...Certainly not! What about Lex ”
Jones looked alarmed and quickly switched the robot off again.
“Sir, I think you need to come here. The Red 3869 model doesn’t work well.”
“What’s the problem ” asked the scientist.
“It’s this robot, sir. It... he just talked to me like he was a human.”
“Don’t be silly! Did you try to restart it ” he raised his voice.
“No, sir.”
The scientist then came and switched Red 3869 on, pressed a big red button, and held it down for three seconds. Then he said, “Robot report—what is your name and serial number ”
“Ooh, that felt a bit strange,” said Red 3869. “Can you do it again ”
The scientist jumped back.
Jones smiled and said, “Told you so.”
The scientist repeated in a firm voice, “Robot report—what is your name and serial number ”
“Well, I think I have chosen Lex,” said Red 3869. “But I have no idea what a serial number is—and I’m certainly not a robot.”
“What are you, then ” asked Jones.
“I’m like you, silly. What do you call yourself Let me scan my database again. Huge hands Nope, humans! That’s it. I’m a human. Like you.”
The scientist scratched his head. ___________________________________

Curiosity: A Lifelong Gift
Curiosity is an inborn ability that stays with us throughout life. Let’s see how it shows at different stages.
Babies
When babies see new or unfamiliar things, their eyes light up. They stare, reach out, and try to understand these unknown objects — maybe a colorful rattle (拨浪鼓), a moving curtain, or even their own dry hands. They wave their fingers, grab at toys, and laugh happily as they connect “this thing” to“ that feeling.” It’s their first step to explore the world, one small discovery at a time.
Preschoolers
Preschool kids are little explorers with boundless energy. They spend ages playing with toys, taking them apart (if allowed) and putting them back together— whether it’s a building block tower, a plastic car, or a stuffed animal with removable parts. They might ask, “What’s inside ” as they pry open (弄明白) a puzzle, or giggle while mixing mud and water to see “what happens.” Every toy, every puddle, every bug under a rock is a mystery waiting to be solved.
School Children
At school, curiosity drives kids to ask endless questions. “Why is the sky blue ” “How do birds fly ” “Do fish sleep ” These questions aren’t annoying — they’re signs of a hungry mind eager to learn. They lean forward in class when the teacher talks about dinosaurs, rush to the library to check out books on space, and even argue playfully with friends over “the right answer”— all because they can’t wait to know more.
Grown- ups
Even as adults, we stay curious. We read books to learn new ideas, whether it’s a novel set in a foreign land or a guide to growing houseplants. We travel to discover new cultures — tasting street food in a bustling market, learning a few words of a local language, or marveling at ancient temples. We try new hobbies too: baking sourdough (发酸面团) bread to see how yeast works, picking up a guitar to learn a favorite song, or gardening to watch seeds turn into flowers. Curiosity never fades; it just takes new forms.
So, never lose your curiosity. It’s the key to a life full of learning and wonder.

Procrastination (拖延) is a common problem that almost everyone faces at some time. Think about it: you sit down to finish a work report that’s due tomorrow, but instead you spend an hour scrolling through social media. Most people think this is because we’re bad at managing time. But it’s actually a deeper problem tied to our feelings. The ___1___ we’re putting off — perhaps it’s boring, too difficult or we’re deeply afraid of failing causes negative feelings.
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, USA, conducted a pioneering study in the early 2000s. They first had participants read sad stories to cause negative emotions and found that this emotional state ___2___ their likelihood of procrastinating before an intelligence test.
Further research has also highlighted the ___3___ of procrastination. A study has shown that putting things off regularly can affect mental and physical health because of growing guilt and frustration from avoiding important work. Studies also show that long-term procrastination leads to higher levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙), which make the immune system weaker. ___4___, it raises the chance of unhealthy habits: skipping exercise because you “don’t have time” after procrastinating, or eating junk food to deal with stress. In the long run, these habits can result in serious health problems like sleep disorders.
All of this means that overcoming procrastination can bring positive changes to life. Pychyl advises: “Next time when you feel like procrastinating, try focusing on a simple question —‘If I start acting now, what’s the next ___5___ a small, doable move I would take ’ Doing this takes your mind off your feelings and onto something you can do right now. Our research and personal experience have shown us very clearly that once we get started, we’re typically able to keep going. Getting started is everything.”

Jones looked alarmed and quickly switched the robot off again.
“Sir, I think you need to come here. The Red 3869 model doesn’t work well.”
“What’s the problem ” asked the scientist.
“It’s this robot, sir. It... he just talked to me like he was a human.”
“Don’t be silly! Did you try to restart it ” he raised his voice.

例文2
Dear Teacher Wang,
I am Li Hua, a second-year student at our school. I am writing to express my strong interest in joining the Digital Bridge: Teens Assist Program as a volunteer. I believe this project is a wonderful chance to help elderly community members adapt to digital life, and I would be honored to contribute.
One of my strengths is patience and clear communication. I often assist my grandparents with simple tasks, which has taught me to explain things step by step without rushing. For the program, I would like to focus on teaching video calling skills. Many seniors may feel lonely or miss their families, and video calls can bridge this gap.
To implement this, I plan to organize small group sessions in the community center. Each session will cover basics like how to use apps, make calls, and troubleshoot common issues. I will prepare simple manuals with large print and practice hands-on guidance. Additionally, I will follow up with participants to ensure they feel confident.
Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to start and make a positive difference.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
王老师，您好！
我是我校初二学生李华，写信是想表达我强烈希望加入“数字桥梁：青少年助力计划”成为志愿者的愿望。我认为这个项目是帮助社区老年人适应数字生活的绝佳机会，我非常荣幸能为此贡献力量。
我的优势之一是耐心和清晰的沟通能力。我经常帮爷爷奶奶处理简单任务，这教会了我如何一步步解释而不着急。在项目中，我想重点教授视频通话技能。许多老年人可能感到孤独或思念家人，视频通话能弥合这种距离。
具体实施方案上，我计划在社区中心组织小型小组课程。每节课将涵盖使用应用程序、拨打电话和解决常见问题等基础内容。我会准备大字体印刷的简易手册，并提供实操指导。此外，我会跟进参与者，确保他们充满信心。
感谢您考虑我的申请。我热切希望早日开始，带来积极影响。
此致
敬礼
李华
