Music is an international language.The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.
Popular music in America is what every student likes.Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class,after class,and at lunch.Students with cars buy large speakers (扬声器) and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work.They also listen to the news about sports,the weather,politics,and activities of the American people.But most of the radio broadcast is music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money.They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state.Once the pop singer is heard throughout the country,young people buy his or her tapes.Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer.Wherever the singer goes,all the young people want to meet him or her.Now the singer has become a national star.
Besides pop music,there are two other kinds of music that is important to Americans.One is called folk music.It tells stories about the common life of Americans.The other is called western or country music.This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching.Today,any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

I had heard Taylor Swift’s soft and catchy pop music,harmless at best.Yet,when my daughter secured a precious ticket for Swift’s Eras Tour in Boston,over 680 kilometers away from our home in Eastern Canada,Swift became surprisingly real.With only one ticket,I hesitated to let my daughter go alone.
In the end,I became the taxi driver (or rather,credit card),staying at a hotel next to the stadium while she enjoyed the concert.This journey introduced me to a world I never imagined.Swift’s music is not my type,and I felt the concert scene these days was meaningless and complete nonsense.But I still tried to be a “with-it” TS Nation mom to keep up with the times,despite accidentally referring to myself as a Swiftie,only to be corrected.
Arriving in Boston,my daughter was over the moon,and I found myself in a world filled with cowboy boots and sequins (亮片).The concert experience unveiled the good,the bad and the ugly.
The bad:the secondary market where desperate fans pay up to 20 times the original face value for a ticket.The ugly:the environmental impact of people driving from all over the place to get to the concert and all the trash from 100,000 people.
The good:Okay,I admit it.After an evening of taking it all in,I saw that Swift is a force to be reckoned with.She is young and beautiful,and superbly talented and smart.Her ability to persist,be savvy (有见识的) and entertain makes her an impressive figure.
Once the concert began,I turned and started back to my hotel.And then I stopped and listened.The voices of a hundred thousand people joined in a joyful song.I knew my girl was having the time of her life,and I sensed something special was happening:the boundless potential of empowered youth.An army of young people was being led by a queen.A queen with so much potential was making people happy and making a difference in the world.Long lives the queen.
28.What does the author mean by saying “I still tried to be a ‘with-it’ TS Nation mom”
A.She is bored with the latest concerts.
B.She wants to know a lot about new ideas and fashions.
C.She hopes to learn everything about Taylor Swift.
D.She wants to be a mom who always keeps her daughter company.
29.Who is most likely to correct the author when she refers to herself as a Swiftie
A.Her close friend. B.Her daughter. C.Her husband. D.Her best colleague.
30.Why does the author use “ugly” to describe her concert experience
A.Because she doesn’t think it worthwhile to watch the concert.
B.Because she considers the tickets to be too expensive.
C.Because she hates the traffic jam caused by much driving.
D.Because she is not satisfied with the people’s polluting behavior.
31.What is the author’s attitude towards her daughter’s idol
A.Positive. B.Neutral. C.Negative. D.Indifferent.
D
“Silence is a source of great strength.” — Lao Tzu.When we stop bombarding (轰击) the body with sounds,we may see benefits for our brain,our blood pressure and our breathing.
Imagine a place where you can’t talk,telephone,read,write or access the Internet.Boredom can soon turn into pleasure as the brain,from a state of chaos,finds peace.The explorer Erling Kagge has experienced a lot of silence during his long travel to reach the “three poles”.By shutting out the world,he has learnt to see the world more clearly and unlock new ways of thinking.
Scientific studies have shown us something interesting.When mice are made to listen to silence for two hours a day for three days,brain cells in the hippocampus (the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory) increase in number.Dr.Gerd Kemperman,leading author of the paper,suggests that silence causes the production of more brain cells to increase alertness (警觉) and readiness for “future cognitive (认知的) challenges”.
In humans,listening to slow music has been shown to reduce blood pressure,heart rate and breathing rate.Adding two minutes of silence to the music lowers blood pressure and breathing even further.
“Silence is golden,” but when it comes to your health,can silence also be deadly “I found solitary (单独监禁) the most forbidding aspect of prison life.There was no end and no beginning;there was only one’s mind,which could begin to play tricks,” said Nelson Mandela,reflecting on his 27 years in prison.
A silent mind can be unbearable — and can even drive you over the edge.In one experiment from Harvard and the University of Virginia,some participants were so opposed to a 15-minute silence that they chose to self-administer an electric shock to escape the silence.
When silence is linked to loneliness,your physical health may also suffer.Loneliness has been shown to be associated with a 29 percent increase in risk of heart disease and a 32 percent increase in the disease — stroke.
There’s another type of silence that is “killing good people” according to Prince William.It’s not the lack of auditory (听觉的) input to your ears;it’s failing to speak out when you’re anxious or struggling to cope,and that’s a major cause of suicide (自杀).
32.What’s the function of paragraph 1
A.To prove an opinion. B.To introduce a topic.
C.To present an example. D.To give a definition.
33.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Erling Kagge
A.To prove everyone needs silence.
B.To give us an example to learn from.
C.To indicate silence works to our advantage.
D.To show humans can keep things in perspective in silence.
34.Why can silence also be deadly to some extent
A.A silent mind can cause people to fight.
B.A lonely mind with silence leads to most heart diseases.
C.Too much silence can make people physically unbearable.
D.A helpless state of mind in silence can increase the tendency of suicide.
35.What is the author’s attitude towards the effect of silence
A.Negative. B.Objective. C.Supportive. D.Doubtful.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
High school life,especially in the senior year,is a rollercoaster of emotions filled with challenges and pressures.The constant demand for academic excellence,combined with the expectations of college applications,and managing extracurricular (课外的) activities can lead even the best students to feel the weight of stress.However,it’s not only possible but essential to find moments of joy and strategies to reduce the pressure efficiently.
Understanding the nature of stress is the primary step.Stress isn’t just a state of mental unrest;it’s a physiological response.　36　 The body notices any form of demand,challenge,or threat and reacts by preparing for a “fight-or-flight” response.This is an ancient survival process that equips us to deal with threats,whether they’re a challenging exam or a physical danger.
Interestingly,not all stress is harmful.We often overlook the distinction of different stress.Acute (急性的) stress,in contrast to the chronic (长期的),can act as a force.　37　 It pushes us to our limits,motivates us to meet deadlines,and often results in that rewarding feeling of accomplishment.
However,long exposure to stress leads to chronic stress.This kind of stress,if left unchecked,can cause various health issues ranging from mental health problems like anxiety and depression to physical ailments like high blood pressure and even heart diseases.
To reduce the effects of stress,mindfulness and meditation have proven effective.Even on a busy day,sparing just a few moments to focus on one’s breathing or practicing guided meditation can significantly reduce stress levels.　38　 These practices help in grounding an individual,bringing a momentary escape from the chaos (混乱).
Pursuing hobbies or activities that one is passionate about can also be a good way.Whether it’s painting,reading,playing a musical instrument,or engaging in sports,these activities not only divert the mind but also release endorphins,the body’s natural mood lifters.
Another aspect is communication.　39　 Sharing burdens,discussing worries,or just talking about one’s day can offer a fresh perspective and often lightens the load.Schools offer services,and there are numerous helplines available to assist students in distress.
So,with the weight of expectations,deadlines,and too many responsibilities,remember to prioritize mental well-being.　40　 Every individual deserves moments of relaxation and happiness.
A.When channeled correctly,stress can be our friend.
B.This response is a swift,automatic sequence designed for survival.
C.Prioritizing self-care isn’t a luxury (奢侈品);it’s a necessity.
D.Every challenge,if approached with a positive mindset,can be an opportunity for growth.
E.Seeding external help or just talking to a friend can be incredibly therapeutic.
F.They attach us to the present,clearing the mental disorder and lifting the spirit.
G.These parts often provide processes adjusted to individual needs.

When I was in high school,there was nothing I loved more than going bowling—and no place I’d rather be than Al’s Kingpin Lanes.That place was great:Friday 5-dollar foot-long hot dogs with all the toppings,old arcade (拱廊) cabinets in the back that had classics like Galaga,and always playing 1940s jazz and 1950s rockabilly music.I got so obsessed with bowling that I even managed to convince my high school to start a varsity (校队) and junior varsity bowling sports club.
During my high school years,from freshman to junior year,starting and leading my school’s bowling club really helped me to come out of my shell.As time went on,our varsity team began winning local and even state tournaments.Soon enough,our school was getting bowling trophies(奖杯) to go alongside the trophies for more traditional sports like swimming and track and field.These victories not only boosted my popularity but also allowed me to form meaningful connections along the way!Life was great back then.
Still,the bowling memory that really stuck out to me was when I met Leroy.Although Leroy happened to go to the same high school as I did,we didn’t really cross paths that much.I was already a junior by then,and as I found out later,he was still a young freshman.The strange thing about it,though,was how he would always hang out in the back,nervously watching everyone else play.Despite his regular presence,he seemed too nervous and shy to play or even talk with others.
Then,one evening while I was out with my friends at Kingpin Lanes,something remarkable happened.I witnessed Leroy actually picking up a bowling ball for the first time.His shoes were untied,he struggled to lift even the lightest ball up,and with each throw,the ball ended up in the gutter lane(边沟),resulting in straight zeroes across the board.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

That’s when I finally made my way over to say hi to Leroy. _______________________________

28.B　词句猜测题。根据上文“Swift’s music is not my type,and I felt the concert scene these days was meaningless and complete nonsense.”可知,作者不认同当下的音乐和现场表演。结合句中转折连词“But”可知,上下文是转折关系。那么下文“I still tried to be a ‘with-it’ TS Nation mom to keep up with the times”应该是表达相反的意思,结合句中“keep up with the times”可推知,尽管作者不认同,但她仍然想要在音乐文化上与时俱进,了解新的思想和时尚知识。故选B项。
29.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Swift’s music is not my type”可知,作者并不喜欢泰勒·斯威夫特的音乐,结合第三段中“Arriving in Boston,my daughter was over the moon”可知,她的女儿是斯威夫特的狂热歌迷,所以当作者自称“Swiftie”时,知道真相的女儿会纠正她。故选B项。
30.D　细节理解题。根据第四段中“The ugly:the environmental impact of people driving from all over the place to get to the concert and all the trash from 100,000 people.”可知,作者用“丑陋”来形容她的演唱会经历是因为她对人们的污染行为不满意。故选D项。
31.A　推理判断题。根据第五段“After an evening of taking it all in,I saw that Swift is a force to be reckoned with.She is young and beautiful,and superbly talented and smart.Her ability to persist,be savvy and entertain makes her an impressive figure.”可知,作者对她女儿的偶像泰勒·斯威夫特持支持态度。故选A项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了沉默对身心的好处和坏处。
32.B　推理判断题。第一段提出沉默对大脑、血压和呼吸有好处,接着第二、三、四段具体从探险家Erling Kagge、科学研究、听音乐等方面讲述了沉默对身心的好处。由此可推测出,第一段主要是为了引出主题。故选B项。
33.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The explorer Erling Kagge has experienced a lot of silence during his long travel to reach the ‘three poles’.By shutting out the world,he has learnt to see the world more clearly and unlock new ways of thinking.”可知,探险家Erling Kagge从沉默中学会了更清晰地看待世界和新的思维方式;由此可推测出,作者提到Erling Kagge是为了给读者一个从中学习的例子。故选B项。
34.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“it’s failing to speak out when you’re anxious or struggling to cope,and that’s a major cause of suicide”可知,当人处于焦虑或难以应对的情况时,无法宣泄出来是导致自杀的主要原因。由此可推测出,沉默中无助的心态会增加自杀倾向。故选D项。
35.B　推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“When we stop bombarding the body with sounds,we may see benefits for our brain,our blood pressure and our breathing.”和第五段中的“‘Silence is golden,’but when it comes to your health,can silence also be deadly ”可知,本文主要讲述了沉默对身心的好处和坏处,并没有表达作者个人的偏好。由此可推测出,作者对沉默的影响持客观态度。故选B项。

37.A　根据上文“Interestingly,not all stress is harmful.”和下文“It pushes us to our limits,motivates us to meet deadlines,and often results in that rewarding feeling of accomplishment.”可知,如果压力处理得当,会带来好处。下文的“It”指代A项中的“stress”。A项符合语境。故选A项。

第二节
That’s when I finally made my way over to say hi to Leroy. Surprised to see me,Leroy nervously cracked a smile and murmured with embarrassment,“I just can’t manage the ball...” “It’s no big deal.Everyone was once a green hand,” I smiled.My encouraging words seeming to ease Leroy’s nerves,he opened up to me,talking about his eagerness for bowling despite the frustrating fact that he possessed neither enough courage nor outstanding talent.His passion for bowling took me to the good old days in my freshman year.“I will accompany you to practice it every Sunday.” I patted him on the shoulder.Amazed and excited,he expressed his heartfelt thanks.
And that was the beginning of our friendship.Since that night,meeting at Kingpin Lanes has become our weekly routine.As time passed,my bond with Leroy strengthened.His bowling skills were dramatically sharpened through consistent efforts,which,in turn,reinforced his confidence and helped him fit in with others in the club.“You light up my sky.We are brothers!” Leroy was always telling me whenever we congratulated him on his victories together.If you ask me why I love bowling more than anything,it’s not just for the sport itself but also for its power to boost confidence,its ability to change lives,and the sincere friendships that blossom because of it!
