As a college professor, I’m required to hold office hours before my lectures. These sessions are busiest at the start and end of the semester, while mid-semester often brings a calmer atmosphere. A few years ago, after receiving a flute as a gift, I decided to use these quiet hours to learn this new instrument. Little did I know, this experience would teach me profound lessons about stage fright.
I chose a nearly empty lecture hall for my practice, arriving an hour before class. The hall was open to any student — some came to discuss assignments, while others simply sat and read quietly before the lecture began. There, in front of these early arrivals, I’d assemble (组装) my flute, open my music book, and dive into practice sessions that included following online tutorials. My fingers fumbled (笨手笨脚) awkwardly at first, but I focused on the basics: forming notes, controlling breath, and steadying my posture.
I would begin playing long tones, closing my eyes and forgetting that anyone was in the room with me. I was surprised to find that I felt no anxiety while learning a new instrument in front of others. Had I been playing my familiar instrument, I would have had more concern about the level of my playing and how my playing was being received. Here, though, my “audience” saw a clear beginner — no one expected polished melodies or technical perfection. My only goal was to understand the instrument: How did the keys connect Where did the air flow best I embraced the stupid mistakes and uneven rhythms, free from the pressure to sound professional.
There have been many things I have learned from my experiment of learning an instrument in public. Now, whenever musicians share their struggles with stage fright, I tell them about my flute practice. I remind them that growth starts when we stop fearing imperfection. Through those quiet office hours, my flute became more than a hobby. It turned into a teacher, showing me that embracing our “beginner’s mind” can transform anxiety into curiosity — and that’s a lesson worth sharing.
24. Why did the professor start practicing the flute during office hours
A. Office hours were too busy to do other things.
B. He needed to prepare for a music performance.
C. The flute was a gift he wanted to make good use of.
D. He wanted to improve his teaching skills through music.
25. What made the author at ease when playing the flute
A. The empty lecture hall. B. His impressive performance.
C. The audience’s active response. D. His concentration on playing.
26. What did the professor learn from practicing the flute
A. Curiosity is more important than skills.
B. Beginners should avoid playing in public.
C. Online tutorials are necessary for learning.
D. Embracing imperfection helps reduce anxiety.
27. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain the definition of office hours.
B. To share a lesson about conquering anxiety.
C. To describe a college professor’s daily routine.
D. To encourage students to practice more in public.
C
Dogs have helped humans for thousands of years. Our oldest animal partners have offered protection, companionship, and hunting help since the days of the earliest human settlements. But how wolves became dogs — and when — remains a mystery debated by scientists. Naturalist Mark Derr explains there are two main theories: Some researchers believe that humans domesticated (驯化 ) wolves that were moving around their villages for trash. Others believe people raised wolf puppies as pets, and over time, these tamed puppies slowly evolved into dogs.
“Neither idea fully explains it,” writes Derr in How the Dog Became the Dog. “That is why no agreement has yet been reached.” In his research, Derr explores how humans and wolves first bonded, and how this partnership changed wolves physically into dogs. He suggests that long ago, when both hunted large animals like deer, they noticed similarities in each other — maybe seeing fellow hunters who relied on teamwork. “That’s when they started traveling together,” he says. “Dogs are a joint creation of wolves and humans through mutual cooperation — two species that met in history and have stuck together ever since.”
Derr believes our ancestors followed wolves during hunts, while wolves learned to wait for the leftovers humans left behind. Humans, using various weapons, were better at killing prey than wolves with just their teeth. “Wolves might have thought, ‘These humans waste a lot when they hunt — they always leave meat behind. It’s easier for us to eat their scraps (残汤剩 饭 ) than hunt ourselves,’” Derr says. Hunting takes a lot of energy, so both species benefited by watching and learning from each other.
As humans and wolves lived and worked together, wolves gradually changed: Their bones became smaller, and their noses shorter. Wolves that adapted to human presence passed on genes for friendliness and adaptability, gradually integrating into human groups.
28. What is Mark Derr’s attitude towards the two main explanations about how dogs evolved from wolves
A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Skeptical. D. Worried.
29. What is Derr’s research mainly about
A. The history of human settlements.
B. Why wolves became extinct in some areas.
C. The physical differences between wolves and dogs.
D. How the human-wolf relationship led to dog evolution.
30. The underlined phrase “stuck together” is closest in meaning to “________” .
A. fought each other B. lived separately
C. stayed together D. competed for food
31. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage
A. The Mutual Benefits of Human-Wolf Partnerships
B. The Debate: Human Influence on Dog Evolution
C. The Evolutionary Journey: From Wolf to Dog
D. The Role of Dogs in Ancient Societies
D
The term “parasocial interaction” (虚拟社交) was first used in the 1950s by the social scientists Donald Horton and R. Richard Wohl. At that time, home televisions were new, and the two researchers noticed something interesting: people were forming strong connections with actors they only saw on TV. Today, this idea has expanded. With social media, streaming platforms, and online videos, we can “meet” actors, singers, athletes, and other celebrities in more ways than ever. Building these one-sided relationships — where we feel close to someone who doesn’t know us — has never been easier.
Psychologists have studied cases where these connections go too far, leading to problems. These relationships can start as casual — like chatting about a star’s latest post — but sometimes grow into strong emotions, wild fantasies, or even harmful behaviors. For example, some fans lose touch with reality and stalk celebrities. Teens are especially at risk: when they model themselves after their “virtual friends” — copying their styles or hobbies — it might confuse them about who they really are, since teenagers are still figuring out their own identities.
In 2021, Canadian psychologists found a link between these one-sided bonds and “avoidant attachment” — a tendency to avoid close relationships in real life. People who often feel uncomfortable with others may turn to fictional characters as substitutes. This creates a loop: avoiding real connections makes them seek comfort in virtual ones, which then makes them interact less with family and friends. They spend time liking posts or watching videos of someone who doesn’t even know they exist, pushing aside real relationships that need their attention.
This doesn’t mean virtual interactions are bad. Many people enjoy following celebrities casually without any harm. But if you find yourself spending hours thinking about fictional people and neglecting real-life connections, it might be a sign to step back. Taking a break from these “one-sided friends” can help address this, letting you open up to real relationships that bring true warmth and support.
32. How has parasocial interaction changed according to Paragraph 1
A. It has become more accessible. B. It has affected more celebrities.
C. It has lost much ofits significance. D. It has turned into a two-way process.
33. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Reasons behind celebrity following.
B. Origins of dangerous relationships.
C. Different types of parasocial relationships.
D. Potential harm of parasocial relationships.
34. Which of the following can lead to parasocial relationships
A. Socializing with strangers. B. Having strong family support.
C. Participating in group activities. D. Struggling with relationships in reality.
35. What might the author suggest for those with heavy parasocial relationships
A. Meeting fictional friends in real life. B. Hanging out more with real friends.
C. Seeking guidance from professionals. D. Creating more space for being alone.

阅读下面材料， 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段， 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
George had his eye on a scoring record. He took a deep breath as he stood in the doorway, looking in at the basketball court. The gym was old and small, but it had a long history. “Maybe today I’ll make history,” George thought.
His basketball league was celebrating. Today’s championship game marked its 50th anniversary since the league’s first title.
George looked over the brochure for the anniversary. It listed the winners of each championship game and the top scorers. He stopped suddenly when he read the name of the top scorer from a game 30 years before. He quickly went through the rest of the list. “Look!” he said to his teammate David, showing him the brochure. “You see who has the all-time record My dad! He never told me that.”“24 points,” David said. “That’s awesome!”
George’s best record was 19 points. He was the Badgers ’ top scorer. “It seems that my dad never showed off something like that,” George said.
When his parents arrived, George brought the brochure over to them. His dad laughed. “I didn’t miss a shot in that game. But look at the score. I would have traded every shot for a win,” he said with regret. George hadn’t noticed that his dad’s team had lost the game just by one point. “That was a great group of teammates,” his dad added. “You have great teammates in the Badgers, too.”
As George warmed up, he was still digesting his father’s words. “This will be a struggle every second,” the coach emphasized before they got on the court to play. “I want to see tough defense, sharp passing, and, above all, smart play as a team.”
George was confident he could lead the Badgers to victory, just as he did in their previous games against the Lions.And he played really hard. As the game neared its end, George had already scored 23 points. Another basket would break his father’s scoring record.
注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para .1. However, his team was now one point behind the Lions.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para .2: With no defenders around, David turned and shot at the basket.

Hi, everyone!
I’m sure you’ve all seen the growing number of stray cats around our campus. While these furry friends brighten our days, too many cats mean big troubles: kittens fighting over food, leftovers attracting pests, and scared cats accidentally scratching students passing by.
Here’s how we can help! By contacting local cat shelters and donating to them, we’ll get these cats properly housed. What’s more, it would be better if you can adopt one, which gives them a cozy home and keeps our campus cleaner. Plus, joining our “Cat Guardians” team to tidy feeding spots and watch for sick cats makes a huge difference!
Let’s act now! Message me if you’d like to do something. Your kindness matters to everyone — both humans and cats!
第二节
Possible version 1
However, his team was now one point behind the Lions. The clock was ticking mercilessly. Although his throat was dry, and his muscles screamed, George couldn’t afford to stop. Breaking his father’s record was within reach, just two points away. At this moment, he felt all eyes on him from his teammates. With the ball in hand and two Lions ’ players guarding against him, George hesitated, resisting the urge to shoot. Taking a deep breath, he scanned the court and found an open opportunity. In a split second, George made his decision and passed the ball to David. With no defenders around, David turned and shot at the basket. As the ball flew through the air, time seemed to freeze. The audience was in silence. George watched, his heart pounding in his chest. The gym rocked with thunderous applause when the ball went through the net. George rushed to David and held him in his arms. In that moment, George understood it was not about breaking records, but he shared victory that mattered the most. He had not only honored his father’s legacy but also created his own in a different way.
Possible version 2
However, his team was now one point behind the Lions. The clock was ticking, and the pressure mounted. George glanced at his teammates; their faces determined. Remembering his father’s words about teamwork, he knew scoring alone wouldn’t guarantee victory. As the Lions ’ defense closed in, George spotted David open near the three-point line. Without hesitation, he passed the ball in his hand, trusting his teammate.
With no defenders around, David turned and shot at the basket. The ball soared through the air, and the gym fell silent. Swish! The crowd erupted as the Badgers took the lead. In the final seconds, the Badgers won by two points. After the game, George’s father hugged him proudly. “You indeed broke my record, because you played as a team,” he said. George smiled, realizing that true victory lay not in personal glory but in collective effort. That night, he wrote “23 points” in his journal, adding beside it: “Best game ever — because we won together.”
