All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who
that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this
girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her. But how could I help her fit in with us There had to be a way.
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 4 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a perfect copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 5 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had drawn. “It’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted for the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough 6 . Could you help me, Suzy ”

you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students 9 them.” I could hear everyone whispering, “Who in our school could draw 10 well ”

High school, for most teenagers, is a space where new adventures and challenges begin. I clearly remember my first day of high school. As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.
My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was mathematics, which happened to be my weakest subject. I felt a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my maths teacher, Mr Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began
to believe that I could overcome my maths struggles.
During lunchtime, I sat with a group of students who quickly became my friends. We shared stories, and talked about our expectations for high school. It was during this time that I realised that high school wasn’t just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.
The rest of the day flew by with a variety of classes, faces, and experiences. My first day of high school was filled with moments of anxiety, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.

One evening in 1951, astronomer William Morgan was walking home from Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin when he looked up at the night sky and had “a creative insight burst”. It solved one of the greatest mysteries of astronomy.
An “aha! Moment”, such as Morgan’s great insight, is a new idea that arrives suddenly, often bursting into an ongoing stream of thought. It may pop up while someone is actively trying to solve a problem.
Individuals tend to have more analytical (分析型的) or insightful thinking; we aren’t limited to one or the other. It’ s up to the mood. Imagine you are in Africa 25,000 years ago. You see a lion a couple of meters away and are seized with fear. Your thinking immediately becomes very careful and analytical because if you make one mistake, you are
finished. Can the lion see me or hear me If I run, is the lion close enough to catch up
You manage to escape. That evening you are back in the cave, sitting by the fire and sharing food with your people. You are enjoying safety. In your protected shelter, you can have creative thoughts and do something imaginative. So 25,000 years later, we find the innovative stone tools and breathtaking cave paintings that inspired future generations.
An obvious way to increase insightfulness is therefore to relax when you aren’t anxious or rushed. Another way is expansion in space: When you are in a large room or the great outdoors under a starry sky, as Morgan was — your attention expands in the large space. You will consider the whole rather than the parts, thus enhancing insightful thinking.
Modern society’s unrelenting demand for productivity and speed often rejects insight. Even so, remember the value and power of insights and the conditions that spark them.
As Morgan shows, when it comes to an “aha! Moment”, the sky is the limit.
How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph
By sharing a secret to success. B.By raising a new idea. C.By describing an astronomer. D.By telling a true story.
Why does the author refer to “Africa 25,000 years ago”
To stress the importance of insightful thinking.
To illustrate the necessity of analytical thinking.
To prove the power of creativity and imagination.
To show the influence of mood on thinking styles.
Which of the following situations might help boost an insight
Studying hard for a math exam. B.Taking photos on a vast grassland. C.Working on the computer in an office. D.Promoting products in a supermarket.
What does the underlined word “unrelenting” in the last paragraph mean
Basic. B.Typical. C.Endless. D.Unreasonable.
D
Social media has been around for years now, and most of us may describe it as any Internet medium (媒体) that can be used to share information with others. But what exactly is so “social” about sitting before a computer blogging (发博客) for days without anybody reading it, or scrolling (滚屏) through your Facebook feed of information from 500 friends you hardly know If you ask me, it can be way more anti-social than anything.
a state of being. It’s about how you use it to improve your relationships with other people in real life. However, we tend to rely on technology and social media so much that it can actually destroy those relationships.
Social media isn’t about numbers. When someone says “social media”, web giants like Facebook, Twitter, WeChat and Weibo instantly pop into our minds, often because they have more updates, more friends, more followers, more everything. As the old saying goes, quality over quantity is usually the way to go. So, social media is not just about lots of people aimlessly pushing around lots of information.
Social media needs to have an “IRL” factor——an Internet expression standing for “In Real Life”. It should affect how a person thinks or acts offline. After all, social media shouldn’t be an end in itself. It was built to improve your actual social life, in real life. Take for example an event that a person attends because they are invited by the host on Facebook through a Facebook event page. Something like that definitely has the IRL factor. Likewise, a WeChat photo that touches someone so much that they feel the need to bring it up and describe it to someone else during a dinner date also has the IRL factor.
In fact, there is no wall between real life and Internet life where true social media exists. Social media is not a specific place on the Internet or just a thing you use to see what other people are doing. It’s all about creating meaningful experiences and relationships wherever you may be.
The writer thinks that social media should be .
A.a number of websites where people communicate
B.a set of social tools like Facebook, WeChat and Weibo
C.a collection of online applications where ideas are exchanged
D.a group name for online platforms used to strengthen meaningful relationships 33.According to the author, which of the following cases has an IRL factor
A.Updating Facebook every now and then. B.Following new friends in real life on Facebook.
C.Visiting a museum with friends after reading a story on Weibo.
D.Reading Twitter to see what other people are doing and thinking about.
What is the author’s main purpose of writing this article
To explain the importance of social media.
To inform the negative effects of social media.
To call on readers to use social media to better their real social life.
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
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。
Many senior high students share the same goal: improving their English language skills. 35 Here’s a step-by-step approach that works for everyone.
◎Know about your purpose.
Start by figuring out why you want to improve your English skills. For struggling ones, it’s important to master classroom dialogues to pass exams and build confidence. For top students, English fluency develops academic excellence and prepares them for cross-cultural communication. 36
◎Involve yourself in real-life practice.
For struggling students this could mean practicing role-playing simple conversations with classmates. 37 . In spite of your current level, view these exercises as stepping stones to build confidence for broader English use. Seek opportunities to apply your skills in real-world settings where English is used.
◎ 38
Take advantage of language-learning apps, online courses, and English-speaking communities to build daily habits. Spend 10 minutes memorizing vocabulary with a learning app after breakfast. Take a 10-minute online grammar course after lunch. Watch short English videos for 10 minutes after dinner to practice listening. Whatever you choose to do, the key is to keep the habits you’ve formed.
◎Celebrate small wins.
Language learning takes time, so celebrate your progress! Treat yourself to a chocolate after remembering 10 new words, or share your achievements when you finish daily practice. 39 Each improvement, whether it’s mastering a grammar rule or reaching your desired score, is a step toward success.
Fall into daily habits.
Improve online learning skills.
This builds confidence and keeps you going.
Follow these key steps to improve your reading skills.
Having a strong “why” keeps you going when challenges appear.
While learning English can be challenging, the right approach helps.
For top students, it could involve class debates or presentations in English.

第一节 (共 4 小题;第 40、41 题各 2 分,第 42 题 3 分,第 43 题 5 分,共 12 分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Everyone feels stressed from time to time. But what is stress How does it affect your health And what can you do about it
Stress is how the brain and body respond to any demand. Every type of demand or stressor — such as exercise, work, school, or major life changes — can be stressful. Stress can affect your health. Yet not all stress is bad. Stress can motivate people to prepare or perform, like when they need to take a test or interview for a new job. Stress can even be life-saving in some situations. In response to danger, your pulse quickens, you breathe faster, your muscles tense, your brain uses more oxygen and increases activity — all functions aimed at survival.
However, health problems can occur if the stress response goes on for too long or becomes chronic (长期的). With chronic stress, those same life-saving responses in your body can suppress (抑制 ) immune, digestive, sleep, and reproductive systems, which may cause them to stop working normally. Some people may experience digestive symptoms (症状), while others may have headaches, sleeplessness, sadness or anger.
The following are some tips that may help you cope with stress:
Recognize the Signs of your body’s response to stress, such as difficulty sleeping, being easily angered, feeling depressed, or having low energy.
Get Regular Exercise. Just 30 minutes per day of walking can help improve your mood and reduce stress.
Try a Relaxing Activity. Explore stress coping programs, which may include meditation, yoga, tai chi, or other gentle exercises. For some stress-related conditions, these approaches are used in addition to other forms of treatment. Schedule fixed times for these and other healthy and relaxing activities.
Set Goals and Priorities (首要事情). Decide what must get done and what can wait, and learn to say no to new tasks if they are putting you into overload. Note what you have finished at the end of the day, not what you have been unable to do.
Stay Connected with people who can provide emotional and other support. To reduce stress, ask for help from friends, teachers or family members.
If you’re stressed out and can not function well, do ask for professional help.
According to the passage, what are the causes of stress
What are the benefits of stress
If people suffer from stress for a very long time, what physical symptoms might they experience
Suppose your friend Jim will take an important exam in a few days, and he feels quite stressed right now. Please give him one piece of advice on relieving stress, and explain why. (In about 20-30 words.)

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是自我激励的重要性,并从几个方面出发告诉我们如何自我激励。 18.考查动词时态。句意:现在,我们中的许多人都面临着似乎无法克服的困难。此处为主句的谓语动词,根据时间状语“Right now”可知,此处使用现在进行时,即 be facing。主语 many of us 为复数意义,所以 be动词为 are。故填 are facing。 19.考查动名词。句意:例如,将一项大任务分解为更小的步骤会使其不那么具有压倒性。此处位于谓语 动词 makes 之前,所以此处为非谓语动词作主语,结合句意,此处表示一般性动作,所以应该使用动名词形式作主语。故填 breaking。
考查动词过去分词。句意:通过关注我们的进展而不仅仅是最终结果,我们可以持续被鼓舞并继续前进。分析句意可知,动词 stay“保持”为系动词,后需接形容词作表语,encourage 的形容词为 encouraged 意为“受 鼓舞的”符合句意,表示一种状态。故填 encouraged。

High school, for most teenagers, is a space where new adventures and challenges begin. I clearly remember my first day of high school. As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.
My first class was English, and as I walked in, I spotted familiar faces from my previous school. I breathed a sigh of relief as I took my seat, surrounded by friendly smiles. My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself
and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our thoughts and ideas. The next class was mathematics, which happened to be my weakest subject. I felt a tight feeling in my stomach as I entered the classroom, but my maths teacher, Mr Smith, turned out to be very patient. He promised us that we would learn and improve together. His words of support made me feel more relaxed, and I began to believe that I could overcome my maths struggles.
During lunchtime, I sat with a group of students who quickly became my friends. We shared stories, and talked about our expectations for high school. It was during this time that I realised that high school wasn’t just about academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.
The rest of the day flew by with a variety of classes, faces, and experiences. My first day of high school was filled with moments of anxiety, joy, and the promise of new beginnings.
Why did the author feel like a tiny fish in a vast ocean at first
Because of excitement and curiosity.
Because of the school’s welcoming atmosphere.
Because of fear of the unfamiliar environment.
Because of good preparations for the new school.
Which words can best describe the English teacher
Generous and powerful. B.Responsible and patient.
C.Inspiring and friendly. D.Outgoing and warm-hearted.
How did the author feel when entering the maths class

【答案】24.C 25.C 26.B 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者高中第一天的经历,包括初入校园的感受、课堂情况及午餐时的感悟。
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“As I entered the school gate, I was greeted by a crowd of students. The
hallways were filled with talking and laughter. It was a lot to handle, and I felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. I held
my schedule tightly, trying to find the right classroom. My heart raced as I was scared of getting lost.(当我走进学校大门时,一群学生迎接了我。走廊里充满了欢声笑语。这一切让人难以应对,我感觉自己就像茫茫大海中的一条小鱼。我紧紧拿着课程表,努力找到正确的教室。我害怕迷路,心跳加速。)”可知,作者一开始感觉像茫茫大海中的一条小鱼,是因为对陌生环境的恐惧。故选 C 项。 25.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“My English teacher, Mrs Johnson, introduced herself and made everyone feel comfortable. She explained what we would be studying during the semester and encouraged us to share our
thoughts and ideas.(我的英语老师约翰逊夫人做了自我介绍,让每个人都感到很自在。她解释了这学期我们
要学习的内容,并鼓励我们分享自己的想法和观点。)”可知,英语老师让人感觉自在,还鼓励学生分享想法,是鼓舞人心且友好的。故选 C 项。
26.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The next class was mathematics, which happened to be my weakest subject.

academic subjects; it was also about building friendships and making lasting memories.(就是在这段时间里,我意

有很棒的社交经历。故选 D 项。
C
One evening in 1951, astronomer William Morgan was walking home from Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin when he looked up at the night sky and had “a creative insight burst”. It solved one of the greatest mysteries of astronomy.
An “aha! Moment”, such as Morgan’s great insight, is a new idea that arrives suddenly, often bursting into an ongoing stream of thought. It may pop up while someone is actively trying to solve a problem.
Individuals tend to have more analytical (分析型的) or insightful thinking; we aren’t limited to one or the other. It’s up to the mood. Imagine you are in Africa 25,000 years ago. You see a lion a couple of meters away and are seized with fear. Your thinking immediately becomes very careful and analytical because if you make one mistake, you are finished. Can the lion see me or hear me If I run, is the lion close enough to catch up
You manage to escape. That evening you are back in the cave, sitting by the fire and sharing food with your
people. You are enjoying safety. In your protected shelter, you can have creative thoughts and do something imaginative. So 25,000 years later, we find the innovative stone tools and breathtaking cave paintings that inspired
future generations.
An obvious way to increase insightfulness is therefore to relax when you aren’t anxious or rushed. Another way is expansion in space: When you are in a large room or the great outdoors under a starry sky, as Morgan was
— your attention expands in the large space. You will consider the whole rather than the parts, thus enhancing insightful thinking.
Modern society’s unrelenting demand for productivity and speed often rejects insight. Even so, remember the
value and power of insights and the conditions that spark them.
As Morgan shows, when it comes to an “aha! Moment”, the sky is the limit.
How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph
By sharing a secret to success. B.By raising a new idea. C.By describing an astronomer. D.By telling a true story.
Why does the author refer to “Africa 25,000 years ago”
To stress the importance of insightful thinking.
To illustrate the necessity of analytical thinking.
To prove the power of creativity and imagination.
To show the influence of mood on thinking styles.
Which of the following situations might help boost an insight
Studying hard for a math exam. B.Taking photos on a vast grassland. C.Working on the computer in an office. D.Promoting products in a supermarket.
What does the underlined word “unrelenting” in the last paragraph mean
Basic. B.Typical. C.Endless. D.Unreasonable.
【答案】28.D 29.D 30.B 31.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍“顿悟时刻”的特点、影响因素及提升洞察力的方法。
推理判断题。根据第一段“One evening in 1951, astronomer William Morgan was walking home from Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin when he looked up at the night sky and had ‘a creative insight burst’. It solved one of the greatest mysteries of astronomy. (1951 年的一个晚上,天文学家威廉·摩根从威斯康辛州的叶凯士天文台走回家时,他抬头仰望夜空,突然有了“创造性的洞察力”。它解决了天文学上最大的谜团之一。)”可知,作者在第一段中通过讲述一个真实的天文学家 William Morgan 的故事来引出话题,即“aha! Moment”(顿悟时刻)。故选 D 项。
推理判断题。根据第三段“Individuals tend to have more analytical (分析型的) or insightful thinking; we aren’
t limited to one or the other. It’s up to the mood.(个体往往有更多的分析性思维或洞察力思维;我们不限于其中一种。这取决于心情。)”及后文举的非洲 25000 年前的例子可知,作者提到“25000 年前的非洲”是为了说明心情对思维方式的影响。故选 D 项。
细节理解题。根据第五段“Another way is expansion in space: When you are in a large room or the great outdoors under a starry sky, as Morgan was — your attention expands in the large space. You will consider the whole rather than the parts, thus enhancing insightful thinking. (另一种方法是空间上的扩展:当你在一个大房间里,或者在星空下的户外,就像摩根一样——你的注意力在大空间中扩展。你会考虑整体而不是部分,从而增强洞察力思维。)”可知,空间上的扩展会让你考虑整体而不是部分,从而增强洞察力。故选 B 项。
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“demand for productivity and speed(对效率和速度的需求)”及“often rejects
insight(常常否定洞察力)”可知,现代社会尤其强调生产力和速度即对生产力和速度的要求没有尽头,由此往往会排斥洞察力。因此划线词的意思是“无尽的”。故选 C 项。
D
Social media has been around for years now, and most of us may describe it as any Internet medium (媒体) that can be used to share information with others. But what exactly is so “social” about sitting before a computer blogging (发博客 ) for days without anybody reading it, or scrolling (滚屏 ) through your Facebook feed of information from 500 friends you hardly know If you ask me, it can be way more anti-social than anything.
Social media is not a “thing”. It’s not just Facebook, WeChat and Weibo. It’s more of a frame of mind (心态) and a state of being. It’s about how you use it to improve your relationships with other people in real life. However, we tend to rely on technology and social media so much that it can actually destroy those relationships.
Social media isn’t about numbers. When someone says “social media”, web giants like Facebook, Twitter, WeChat and Weibo instantly pop into our minds, often because they have more updates, more friends, more followers, more everything. As the old saying goes, quality over quantity is usually the way to go. So, social media is not just about lots of people aimlessly pushing around lots of information.
Social media needs to have an “IRL” factor——an Internet expression standing for “In Real Life”. It should affect how a person thinks or acts offline. After all, social media shouldn’t be an end in itself. It was built to improve your actual social life, in real life. Take for example an event that a person attends because they are invited by the host on Facebook through a Facebook event page. Something like that definitely has the IRL factor. Likewise, a WeChat photo that touches someone so much that they feel the need to bring it up and describe it to someone else during a dinner date also has the IRL factor.
In fact, there is no wall between real life and Internet life where true social media exists. Social media is not a
specific place on the Internet or just a thing you use to see what other people are doing. It’s all about creating meaningful experiences and relationships wherever you may be.
The writer thinks that social media should be .
A.a number of websites where people communicate
B.a set of social tools like Facebook, WeChat and Weibo
C.a collection of online applications where ideas are exchanged
D.a group name for online platforms used to strengthen meaningful relationships 33.According to the author, which of the following cases has an IRL factor
A.Updating Facebook every now and then. B.Following new friends in real life on Facebook.
C.Visiting a museum with friends after reading a story on Weibo.
D.Reading Twitter to see what other people are doing and thinking about.
What is the author’s main purpose of writing this article
To explain the importance of social media.
To inform the negative effects of social media.
To call on readers to use social media to better their real social life.
To encourage readers to communicate with others in real life more often.
【答案】32.D 33.C 34.C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论的是社交媒体的本质、其与现实生活的关联以及我们如何正确使用社交媒体来增强而非破坏我们的人际关系。
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Social media is not a specific place on the Internet or just a thing you use to see what other people are doing. It’s all about creating meaningful experiences and relationships wherever you may
be.(社交媒体不是互联网上一个特定的地方,也不是你用来看看别人在做什么的工具。这一切都是关于创造有意义的经历和关系,无论你在哪里。)”可知,作者认为,社交媒体应该是用来加强有意义的关系的网络平台的统称,故选 D。
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Social media needs to have an “IRL” factor——an Internet expression standing for “In Real Life”. It should affect how a person thinks or acts offline. After all, social media shouldn’t be an end in itself. It was built to improve your actual social life, in real life.(社交媒体需要有一个“IRL”元素——一个代表
“现实生活”的网络俚语。它应该影响一个人在线下的想法和行为。毕竟,社交媒体本身不应该是目的。它是
为了改善你在现实生活中的社交生活。)”可知,在微博上读了一篇故事后,和朋友一起参观博物馆,含有IRL
因素,故选 C。
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Social media is not a specific place on the Internet or just a thing you use to see what other people are doing. It’s all about creating meaningful experiences and relationships wherever you may
be.(社交媒体不是互联网上一个特定的地方,也不是你用来看看别人在做什么的工具。这一切都是关于创造有意义的经历和关系,无论你在哪里。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁读者利用社交媒体来促进真实的社会生活,故选 C。

第一节 (共 4 小题;第 40、41 题各 2 分,第 42 题 3 分,第 43 题 5 分,共 12 分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Everyone feels stressed from time to time. But what is stress How does it affect your health And what can you do about it
Stress is how the brain and body respond to any demand. Every type of demand or stressor — such as exercise, work, school, or major life changes — can be stressful. Stress can affect your health. Yet not all stress is bad. Stress can motivate people to prepare or perform, like when they need to take a test or interview for a new job. Stress can even be life-saving in some situations. In response to danger, your pulse quickens, you breathe faster, your muscles tense, your brain uses more oxygen and increases activity — all functions aimed at survival.
However, health problems can occur if the stress response goes on for too long or becomes chronic (长期的). With chronic stress, those same life-saving responses in your body can suppress (抑制) immune, digestive, sleep, and reproductive systems, which may cause them to stop working normally. Some people may experience digestive symptoms (症状), while others may have headaches, sleeplessness, sadness or anger.
The following are some tips that may help you cope with stress:
Recognize the Signs of your body’s response to stress, such as difficulty sleeping, being easily angered, feeling depressed, or having low energy.
Get Regular Exercise. Just 30 minutes per day of walking can help improve your mood and reduce stress.
Try a Relaxing Activity. Explore stress coping programs, which may include meditation, yoga, tai chi, or other gentle exercises. For some stress-related conditions, these approaches are used in addition to other forms of treatment. Schedule fixed times for these and other healthy and relaxing activities.
Set Goals and Priorities (首要事情). Decide what must get done and what can wait, and learn to say no to new tasks if they are putting you into overload. Note what you have finished at the end of the day, not what you have been unable to do.
Stay Connected with people who can provide emotional and other support. To reduce stress, ask for help from friends, teachers or family members.
If you’re stressed out and can not function well, do ask for professional help.
According to the passage, what are the causes of stress
What are the benefits of stress
If people suffer from stress for a very long time, what physical symptoms might they experience
Suppose your friend Jim will take an important exam in a few days, and he feels quite stressed right now. Please give him one piece of advice on relieving stress, and explain why. (In about 20-30 words.)
【答案】40.According to the passage, stress can be caused by various demands or stressors, including exercise, work, school, and major life changes. 41.Stress can motivate people to prepare or perform better, such as when preparing for a test or a job interview. It can also be life-saving in dangerous situations by triggering a fight-or-flight response. 42.If people suffer from chronic stress, they might experience digestive issues, headaches, sleeplessness, sadness, or anger. 43.Jim, try to get regular exercise, even just a 30-minute walk daily. Physical activity can boost your mood and reduce stress, helping you feel more relaxed and focused before the exam.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了压力的定义、影响、益处及应对压力的方法。
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Stress is how the brain and body respond to any demand. Every type of demand or stressor — such as exercise, work, school, or major life changes—can be stressful.(压力是大脑和身体对任何
需求的反应。每种类型的需求或压力源,如锻炼、工作、学校或重大的生活变化,都可能带来压力)”可知,压力可能是由各种需求或压力源引起的,包括运动、工作、学校和重大的生活变化。故答案为 According to the passage, stress can be caused by various demands or stressors, including exercise, work, school, and major life changes.
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Stress can motivate people to prepare or perform, like when they need to take a test or interview for a new job. Stress can even be life-saving in some situations. In response to danger, your pulse quickens, you breathe faster, your muscles tense, your brain uses more oxygen and increases activity — all
functions aimed at survival.(压力可以激励人们做好准备或表现,比如当他们需要参加新工作的考试或面试时。在某些情况下,压力甚至可以挽救生命。为了应对危险,你的脉搏加快,呼吸加快,肌肉紧张,大脑消耗 更多的氧气并增加活动——所有这些功能都是为了生存)”可知,压力可以激励人们做好准备或表现得更好,比如在准备考试或面试时。在危险情况下,它也可以通过引发战斗或逃跑反应来挽救生命。故答案为 Stress can motivate people to prepare or perform better, such as when preparing for a test or a job interview. It can also be
life-saving in dangerous situations by triggering a fight-or-flight response.
细节理解题。根据第三段的“With chronic stress, those same life-saving responses in your body can suppress (抑制) immune, digestive, sleep, and reproductive systems, which may cause them to stop working normally. Some people may experience digestive symptoms (症状), while others may have headaches, sleeplessness, sadness or anger.(在慢性压力下,你体内的这些救生反应会抑制免疫、消化、睡眠和生殖系统,这可能会导致它们停止正常工作。有些人可能会出现消化系统症状,而另一些人可能会头痛、失眠、悲伤或愤怒)”可知,如果人们患有慢性压力,他们可能会出现消化问题、头痛、失眠、悲伤或愤怒。故答案为 If people suffer from chronic stress, they might experience digestive issues, headaches, sleeplessness, sadness, or anger.
开放性试题。本题为开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。题目为“假设你的朋友吉姆几天后要参加一场重要的考试,他现在感到压力很大。请给他一条缓解压力的建议,并解释原因。”所以建议为“吉姆,试着定期锻炼,比如每天散步 30 分钟;它可以改善你的情绪,减轻压力,帮助你更好地专注于考试准备”。故 答案为 Jim, try to get regular exercise, even just a 30-minute walk daily. Physical activity can boost your mood and reduce stress, helping you feel more relaxed and focused before the exam.

I once was a quick-tempered boy. If I mumbled (嘟哝), I got angry. When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone nearby, not caring who they were or what they were doing. Then they would make fun of me. Eventually, many people around me disliked me because of this. They started avoiding me. Even though I felt like I needed to improve myself, I didn’t know how.
My father was patient with me and one day he gave me a basket full of nails (钉子) and a hammer (铁锤). Every time I got angry, he advised me to avoid scolding (责骂) the people involved and hammer a nail into the wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. The first day, I hammered about 50 nails into the fence. As the days passed, I learned to control my hurtful speech in front of those who made me angry. Only when I got angry should I go and hammer the nails immediately!
Eventually, before I could take the basket and hammer and go to the fence, my anger cooled and I started hammering nails into the fence less. In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went to my father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and asked me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. It took me a whole day to pull them all out. After pulling out all the nails, my father and I went to see the fence. My father showed me the scars where the nails had been pulled out from the fence and said, “When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail. Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to heal as the scar from this nail.”
I too understood the concept well, changed, grew up to respect my village, and achieved many successes in life.
What did the boy do when he got angry at the beginning
He behaved rudely to people around.
He apologized to the people he had hurt.
He avoided people who made him angry.
He immediately hammered nails into the fence.
Why did the boy’s father give him nails and a hammer
To help him control his anger.
To punish him for his bad behavior.

To make him stronger by hammering nails.
How did the father react when the boy stopped hammering nails
He apologized to the boy.
He showed his inner happiness.
He asked the boy to remove the nails.
He told the boy to repair the damaged fence.
Which best summarizes the main lesson of this story
Actions speak louder than words. B.Time heals all wounds.
Practice makes perfect.
What’s done cannot be undone.
C
Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the “Wood Wide Web”. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌).
The key players in this hidden conversation are mycorrhizal fungi. These thread-like organisms connect tree roots, forming vast networks. Research from the University of British Columbia reveals that up to 90% of land plants depend on these fungi. Through this interdependent relationship, trees exchange nutrients like carbon and nitrogen. Older “mother trees” often act as hubs, sending extra sugars to younger saplings struggling in shaded areas — a phenomenon called “forest family connections”.
When under attack, trees release chemical signals. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that
acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. Similarly, pine trees attacked by beetles send out warning signals through fungal networks, pushing neighbors to boost defensive resins (树脂).
Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors — a strategy called “biological warfare” by ecologists.
Understanding this “social network” challenges traditional views of forests. Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. Scientists now advocate for selective cutting practices that preserve fungal networks, ensuring forests’ resilience (适应力) to climate change.
As author Peter Wohlleben notes in The Hidden Life of Trees, “Forests are super-organisms with intelligence we’ re just beginning to decode.” This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen without a single word.
What method do acacia trees use to warn nearby trees of giraffe feeding
Producing defensive resins in bark. B.Transmitting electrical signals through roots. C.Releasing a warning gas into the air. D.Increasing sugar distribution via fungal networks.
What does “biological warfare” refer to in paragraph 4
Using chemicals to kill insects. B.Releasing poisons to contain competitors. C.Fighting for sunlight through height. D.Stealing nutrients via underground roots.
Why should mother trees be preserved according to scientists
They attract diverse wildlife species. B.They offer young trees nutrients. C.They battle against climate change. D.They maintain ecosystem stability.
What’s the main idea of the text
The defensive strategies of trees. B.The cooperative interaction between trees. C.The important role of mother trees. D.The hidden communication among trees.

We are a social animal. Indeed, it is our sociality — such as the ability to make sense of each other, to communicate, to work cooperatively and, finally, to create culture — that marks us off from other animal species.
But then why are we everywhere striving to increase our isolation and limit our contact with others As musician
David Byrn e argues in an essay published last month, it is a striking fact about the new technologies that have so come to shape our lives, that they have precisely this effect: they limit our need for human contact. Online shopping Check. Automated checkout Check. Ride hail apps Check.
Efficiency is the key. We purchase efficiency by limiting the human aspect, known as “autonomous operation”. This is perhaps even more pronounced with new technologies on the horizon. Take the MOOC, the teacher-less virtual classroom. As Byrn e notes, this is meant to deliver the values of a learning environment without, well, without the environment — you get to stay at home — no teacher, but also, no fellow students.
Byrne isn’t claiming we are consciously choosing to isolate ourselves. We shop online because it is convenient. The absence of contact with others is a side-effect. Maybe even an unavoidable one, as one of the things that makes online shopping so easy is precisely the absence of contact with other people.
But Bryne’s thought is that whatever our intention, the tendency of our tech to isolate us may be a feature, not a bug. His hypothesis is that we actually, at some level, crave (渴望) the increased isolation and we are actually making technologies to satisfy impulses that, in some way, go beyond or against our social nature. But I wonder, is this really new
Even if we are social by nature, and do everything we can to embed ourselves socially, the need to find ways to be alone is, well, nothing new. It’s also striking that the very activities that risk separating us — in the old days, books, newspapers, TV; nowadays, the latest apps also connect us. We read about each other. What we read gives us information to share with each other.
I am well aware of the data that shows the more time you spend on social media, the sadder and more isolated and envious you feel of others. But how novel is the isolating effect of social media Being there reminds me a lot of what it was like to be social in high school— you have a vivid sense of your status and your standing in relation to others, and you have to deal with that.
This may be isolating, sure. But it’s the isolating face of the social lives we’ve always had. It is isolating because of the ways technology brings us into real contact with others, not because it removes that contact.
I wonder whether more isolation is a real option, after all.
Which of the following best reflects “autonomous operation”
Getting a toothbrush via a hotel delivery robot.
Teaching mom how to establish a smart home.
Seeking help by calling human customer services.
Having an online meeting at home with colleagues.
Which of the following might the author agree
Technology offers fresh insights into our social status. B.Actions seemingly isolating can bond people.
Social platforms help bring people closer.
Social media has come to define our life.
What would be the best title for the passage
What Technologies Do to Human Nature B.Do Technologies Shape Our Lives C.How Isolation Changes with ConnectionD.Can We Erase Human Element

Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the sides of buildings. So, why is art important
It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication. 35 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.
36 . When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context. 37 . This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it.
38 .
In therapy (疗法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. 39 . In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
A.It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.
B.These are its major benefits.
C.It can help people handle mental problems.
D.Art and human history go hand-in-hand.
E.Similarly, future generations will learn about current events by the art we leave behind.
F.How does it have an impact on our life
G.Children love to draw, sing and dance.

Balancing Trees and CO2
Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere. But trees only hold onto CO2 as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay (腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere. Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. The rise of CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of
Leeds, UK. High levels of CO2 are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added.
The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off (生长与寿命之间的权衡) is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 79,000 sites worldwide. They found that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species, and even within a species, the trade-off between growth and life span held strong.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked (微量调整) the growth of the trees in this model. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bringing down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
What does “this practice” in Para.1 refer to
Why are trees around the world growing faster than ever
Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason. The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live.
Please briefly present what you can do in daily life to reduce the emission of CO2.(about 40 words)

【答案】18.Adapted 19.in 20.carries
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了贾玲导演的《热辣滚烫》是中国春节期间票房最高的电影,以及这部电影传达的精神和价值观。
考查非谓语动词。句意:《热辣滚烫》改编自 2014 年的日本电影《百元之恋》,讲述了 Le Ying 的蜕变。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,adapt 和逻辑主语 YOLO 为被动关系,所以为过去分词形式。故 填 Adapted。
考查介词。句意:Le 是一名 30 多岁的无业女性,她和父母住在一起,在遇到改变她生活的拳击教练后,她的生活发生了变化。根据句意以及空后 her 30s 可知,此处为介词 in 后接“one’s +整十的复数”即:in on’s +整十的复数,表示“在某人的几十岁时候”。故填 in。
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:《热辣滚烫》的精神,顾名思义就是“你只能活一次”,传达了一个普遍的信息——自爱和自尊,这也为这部电影跨越文化鸿沟、吸引全球观众奠定了基础。分析句子可知,此处为谓语动词的填入,由从句动词 forms 可知,此处应为一般现在时,主语 The spirit of YOLO 为单数意义名词,所以为动词三单形式。故填 carries。

并将熊宝宝送回森林?这是一个关于一个善良的女孩和一只迷路的熊的可爱故事,充满了迷人的图片)”可知,
Polly Pecorino 最适合关心动物的孩子。故选 B。
B
I once was a quick-tempered boy. If I mumbled (嘟哝), I got angry. When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone nearby, not caring who they were or what they were doing. Then they would make fun of me. Eventually, many people around me disliked me because of this. They started avoiding me. Even though I felt like I needed to improve myself, I didn’t know how.
My father was patient with me and one day he gave me a basket full of nails (钉子) and a hammer (铁锤). Every time I got angry, he advised me to avoid scolding (责骂) the people involved and hammer a nail into the wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. The first day, I hammered about 50 nails into the fence. As the
days passed, I learned to control my hurtful speech in front of those who made me angry. Only when I got angry should I go and hammer the nails immediately!
Eventually, before I could take the basket and hammer and go to the fence, my anger cooled and I started hammering nails into the fence less. In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went to my father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and asked me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. It took me a whole day to pull them all out. After pulling out all the nails, my father and I went to see the fence. My father showed me the scars where the nails
had been pulled out from the fence and said, “When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail.
Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to heal as the scar from this nail.”
I too understood the concept well, changed, grew up to respect my village, and achieved many successes in
life.
What did the boy do when he got angry at the beginning
He behaved rudely to people around.
He apologized to the people he had hurt.
He avoided people who made him angry.
He immediately hammered nails into the fence.
Why did the boy’s father give him nails and a hammer
To help him control his anger.
To punish him for his bad behavior.
To teach him how to repair the fence.
To make him stronger by hammering nails.
How did the father react when the boy stopped hammering nails
He apologized to the boy.
He showed his inner happiness.
He asked the boy to remove the nails.
He told the boy to repair the damaged fence.
Which best summarizes the main lesson of this story
Actions speak louder than words. B.Time heals all wounds.
Practice makes perfect.
What’s done cannot be undone.
【答案】24.A 25.A 26.C 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了一个脾气暴躁的男孩在父亲的引导下,学会控制愤怒并明白言语伤人难以弥补的道理,最终实现自我改变的故事。
细节理解题。根据第一段“When I got angry, I’d yell at anyone nearby, not caring who they were or what they
were doing. (当我生气的时候,我会对附近的任何人大喊大叫,不管他们是谁,在做什么)”可知,男孩一开
始生气时,会对周围的人举止粗鲁。故选 A 项。
细节理解题。根据第二段“Every time I got angry, he advised me to avoid scolding the people involved and hammer a nail into the wooden fence behind the house until I calmed down. (每次我生气的时候,他都建议我不要责骂相关的人,而是在房子后面的木栅栏上钉一颗钉子,直到我平静下来)”可知,父亲给男孩钉子和锤子是为了帮助他控制愤怒。故选 A 项。
细节理解题。根据第三段“In a few days, I no longer felt the need to hammer nails into the fence. I went to my father and told him the details. Although he was happy inside, he didn’t show it. He gave me a nail puller and asked me to pull out the nails I had hammered into the fence one by one. (几天之内,我再也不觉得有必要往栅栏上钉 钉子了。我去找父亲,把这些情况一五一十地告诉了他。尽管他心里很高兴,却没有表现出来。他给了我一个拔钉器,让我把钉在栅栏上的钉子一个一个拔出来)”可知,当男孩不再钉钉子时,父亲让他把钉子拔掉。
故选 C 项。
主旨大意题。根据第三段父亲的话“When you get angry, you lose your mind and say things like this nail. Even if you apologize for speaking as if you were pulling out a nail, the wound left by those words is just as hard to heal as the scar from this nail. (当你生气的时候,你会失去理智,说出这样的话就像这颗钉子一样。即使你为自己说的话道歉,就像拔出钉子一样,但那些话留下的伤口就像这颗钉子留下的疤痕一样难以愈合)”可知,故事的主要教训是做过的事无法挽回。故选 D 项。
C
Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the “Wood Wide Web”. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌).
The key players in this hidden conversation are mycorrhizal fungi. These thread-like organisms connect tree
roots, forming vast networks. Research from the University of British Columbia reveals that up to 90% of land plants depend on these fungi. Through this interdependent relationship, trees exchange nutrients like carbon and nitrogen. Older “mother trees” often act as hubs, sending extra sugars to younger saplings struggling in shaded areas — a phenomenon called “forest family connections”.
When under attack, trees release chemical signals. A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty.
Similarly, pine trees attacked by beetles send out warning signals through fungal networks, pushing neighbors to
boost defensive resins (树脂).
Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors — a strategy called “biological warfare” by ecologists.
Understanding this “social network” challenges traditional views of forests. Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. Scientists now advocate for selective cutting practices that preserve fungal networks, ensuring forests’ resilience (适应力) to climate change.
As author Peter Wohlleben notes in The Hidden Life of Trees, “Forests are super-organisms with intelligence
we’re just beginning to decode.” This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen without a single word.
What method do acacia trees use to warn nearby trees of giraffe feeding
Producing defensive resins in bark. B.Transmitting electrical signals through roots. C.Releasing a warning gas into the air. D.Increasing sugar distribution via fungal networks.
What does “biological warfare” refer to in paragraph 4
Using chemicals to kill insects. B.Releasing poisons to contain competitors. C.Fighting for sunlight through height. D.Stealing nutrients via underground roots.
Why should mother trees be preserved according to scientists
They attract diverse wildlife species. B.They offer young trees nutrients. C.They battle against climate change. D.They maintain ecosystem stability.
What’s the main idea of the text
The defensive strategies of trees. B.The cooperative interaction between trees. C.The important role of mother trees. D.The hidden communication among trees.
【答案】28.C 29.B 30.D 31.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了森林中被科学家称为“树木网络”的地下真菌网络系统。 28.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A 2023 study in Nature Ecology & Evolution demonstrates that acacia trees (金合欢树) bitten by giraffes produce ethylene (乙烯) gas. Nearby trees pick up these chemical signals from the air within minutes and increase tannin (鞣酸) production, making their leaves bitter and less tasty. (2023 年《自然 生态与进化》上的一项研究表明,被长颈鹿啃食的金合欢树会产生乙烯气体。附近的树木会在几分钟内从空气中接收到这些化学信号,并增加鞣酸的产生,使它们的叶子变得更苦且口感变差。)”可知,金合欢树
是通过向空气中释放乙烯这种警告气体来提醒附近树木有长颈鹿在进食。故选 C 项。 29.词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Not all interactions are cooperative. Some plants, like the ghost orchid, hack the network to steal nutrients from nearby trees without offering anything in return. Other species, such as black walnut trees, release toxins (毒素) to restrain competitors (并非所有的互动都是合作性的。有些植物,比如幽灵兰花,会利用网络从附近的树木中窃取养分,却不给予任何回报。其他物种,如黑胡桃树,则会释放毒素
来抑制竞争对手)”可推理出,biological warfare 指的是释放毒素来抑制竞争对手。故选 B 项。 30.细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Logging dominant mother trees can collapse entire ecosystems, much like removing servers from the Internet. (砍伐占主导地位的母树可能会使整个生态系统崩溃,这就好比从互联网中移除服务器一样。)”可知,科学家认为应该保护母树是因为它们能维持生态系统的稳定。故选 D 项。 31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Beneath the quiet surface of a forest lies a busy network scientists call the ‘Wood
Wide Web’. Far from being isolated individuals, trees communicate, share resources, and even send warnings through an underground system of fungi (真菌). (在安静的森林表面下,隐藏着一个繁忙的网络,科学家称之为 “森林万维网”。树木不是孤立的个体,而是通过真菌的地下系统交流、共享资源,甚至发出警告。)”和最后一段中的“This silent dialogue beneath our feet reminds us that nature’s deepest conversations often happen
without a single word. (我们脚下的这种无声对话提醒我们,自然界最深刻的交流往往无需一言半语。)”可知,
文章开篇就提到森林中存在被称为“树木网络”的地下真菌网络,树木通过它进行无声交流、共享资源。由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是树木之间隐藏的交流。故选 D 项。
D
We are a social animal. Indeed, it is our sociality — such as the ability to make sense of each other, to communicate, to work cooperatively and, finally, to create culture — that marks us off from other animal species.
But then why are we everywhere striving to increase our isolation and limit our contact with others As musician David Byrn e argues in an essay published last month, it is a striking fact about the new technologies that have so come to shape our lives, that they have precisely this effect: they limit our need for human contact. Online shopping Check. Automated checkout Check. Ride hail apps Check.
Efficiency is the key. We purchase efficiency by limiting the human aspect, known as “autonomous operation”. This is perhaps even more pronounced with new technologies on the horizon. Take the MOOC, the teacher-less virtual classroom. As Byrn e notes, this is meant to deliver the values of a learning environment without, well, without the environment — you get to stay at home — no teacher, but also, no fellow students.
Byrne isn’t claiming we are consciously choosing to isolate ourselves. We shop online because it is convenient.
The absence of contact with others is a side-effect. Maybe even an unavoidable one, as one of the things that makes online shopping so easy is precisely the absence of contact with other people.
But Bryne’s thought is that whatever our intention, the tendency of our tech to isolate us may be a feature, not a bug. His hypothesis is that we actually, at some level, crave (渴望) the increased isolation and we are actually making technologies to satisfy impulses that, in some way, go beyond or against our social nature. But I wonder, is this really new
Even if we are social by nature, and do everything we can to embed ourselves socially, the need to find ways to be alone is, well, nothing new. It’s also striking that the very activities that risk separating us — in the old days, books, newspapers, TV; nowadays, the latest apps also connect us. We read about each other. What we read gives us information to share with each other.
I am well aware of the data that shows the more time you spend on social media, the sadder and more isolated and envious you feel of others. But how novel is the isolating effect of social media Being there reminds me a lot of what it was like to be social in high school — you have a vivid sense of your status and your standing in relation to others, and you have to deal with that.
This may be isolating, sure. But it’s the isolating face of the social lives we’ve always had. It is isolating because of the ways technology brings us into real contact with others, not because it removes that contact.
I wonder whether more isolation is a real option, after all.
Which of the following best reflects “autonomous operation”
Getting a toothbrush via a hotel delivery robot.
Teaching mom how to establish a smart home.
Seeking help by calling human customer services.
Having an online meeting at home with colleagues.
Which of the following might the author agree
Technology offers fresh insights into our social status. B.Actions seemingly isolating can bond people.
Social platforms help bring people closer.
Social media has come to define our life.
What would be the best title for the passage
What Technologies Do to Human Nature B.Do Technologies Shape Our Lives C.How Isolation Changes with ConnectionD.Can We Erase Human Element
【答案】32.A 33.B 34.D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了在线购物和社交媒体如何可能无意中导致人们感到孤独,但同时强调这些活动也提供了与他人建立联系的机会,反映了现代社会中人们在追求便利与社交之间的平衡。 32.推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Efficiency is the key. We purchase efficiency by limiting the human aspect, known as “autonomous operation”. This is perhaps even more pronounced with new technologies on the horizon.
Take the MOOC, the teacher-less virtual classroom. As Byrn e notes, this is meant to deliver the values of a learning environment without, well, without the environment — you get to stay at home — no teacher, but also, no fellow students. (效率是关键。我们通过限制人的方面来获得效率,被称为“自主操作”。随着新技术的出
现,这一点可能更加明显。以 MOOC 为例,即没有教师的虚拟课堂。正如伯恩所指出的,这意味着在没有
环境的情况下,传递学习环境的价值——你可以呆在家里——没有老师,也没有同学)”可知,通过限制人为因素(即自主操作)来提高效率。由此推知,通过酒店送货机器人获取牙刷正好符合“自主操作”的定义,因为这一过程中没有人为的参与,完全由机器人自主完成。故选 A。
推理判断题。由文章第六段中“Even if we are social by nature, and do everything we can to embed ourselves socially, the need to find ways to be alone is, well, nothing new. It’s also striking that the very activities that risk separating us — in the old days, books, newspapers, TV; nowadays, the latest apps — also connect us. We read
about each other. What we read gives us information to share with each other. (即使我们天生具有社交性,并尽我们所能融入社会,寻找独处方式的需求也不是什么新鲜事。同样令人吃惊的是,那些有可能把我们分开的活动——在过去,书籍、报纸、电视;如今,最新的应用程序也连接着我们。我们互相了解对方。我们所读的东西给我们提供信息,让我们彼此分享)” 可推知,作者认为看似孤立的行为实际上可以让人们产生联系。故选 B。
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第二段“But then why are we everywhere striving to increase our isolation and limit our contact with others As musician David Byrn e argues in an essay published last month, it is a striking fact about the new technologies that have so come to shape our lives, that they have precisely this effect: they limit our need for human contact. Online shopping Check. Automated checkout Check. Ride hail apps Check. (但是,为什么我们到处都在努力增加我们的孤立,限制我们与他人的接触呢?正如音乐家 David Byrn
在上月发表的一篇文章中所指出的那样,新技术如此塑造了我们的生活,一个令人震惊的事实是,它们恰
恰具有这样的效果:它们限制了我们对人际交往的需求。)”可知,文章主语讨论了在线购物和社交媒体如何可能无意中导致人们感到孤独,但同时强调这些活动也提供了与他人建立联系的机会,反映了现代社会中人们在追求便利与社交之间的平衡。由此可知,D 项“Can We Erase Human Element (我们能抹去人类元素
吗?)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选 D。
第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
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。
Art is all around us. It can be found everywhere, including fancy galleries, people’s living rooms, and on the sides of buildings. So, why is art important
It promotes expression and creativity. As humans, we’re naturally drawn to art as a form of expression and communication. 35 It’s a way for them to express themselves before they’re able to speak. In fact, participation in the arts may even assist kids with language, motor skills, and visual learning development.
36 . When someone applies for a job, there are certain skills they need to have like data analysis or bookkeeping. However, many employers also understand the very important need for the skills which are hard to measure and often difficult to define. Some examples include a person’s ability to adapt to change, think creatively, or collaborate with team members.
It provides historical context. 37 . This is why people dedicate their lives to studying cave art, Shakespearean plays, and so much more. When we take the time to dive into art created in the past, we can learn about other generations and eras. We can study art to find out what those before us were facing and how they overcame it. 38 .
In therapy (疗法) settings, art also provides an opportunity for digging deeper and expressing emotions that are difficult to discuss. 39 . In one important study, children between 6 and 12 were asked to draw a house as a distraction after thinking about something upsetting. This group was able to improve their mood when compared with children who were instructed to draw the negative event or simply copy another drawing.
A.It helps all of us develop necessary soft skills.
B.These are its major benefits.
C.It can help people handle mental problems.
D.Art and human history go hand-in-hand.
E.Similarly, future generations will learn about current events by the art we leave behind.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Balancing Trees and CO2
Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere. But trees only hold onto CO2 as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay (腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. The rise of CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds, UK. High levels of CO2 are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added.
The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off (生长与寿命之间的权衡) is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 79,000 sites worldwide. They found that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species, and even within a species, the trade-off between growth and life span held
strong.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked (微量调整) the growth of the trees in this model. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bringing down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
What does “this practice” in Para.1 refer to
Why are trees around the world growing faster than ever
Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason. The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live.
Please briefly present what you can do in daily life to reduce the emission of CO2.(about 40 words)
【答案】
Planting trees to reduce climate change. /Tree planting is used to reduce climate change./Using tree planting to reduce climate change.
Because of the rise of CO2 from burning fossil fuels./Because of the rise of CO2./Because burning fossil fuels leads to the rise of CO2.
The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live. Because Berienen and his team found that faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./According to Berienen and his team’s research, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./Because fast-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species.
There are many things I can do to help. Firstly, I’ll take a reusable cloth bag and say no to plastic bags while shopping, for it can save energy and reduce pollution. Secondly, when I go somewhere, I’ll choose public transportation instead of private cars to reduce the emission of CO2.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了针对全球气候变暖,树已经不能作为可靠的解决方法。目前最有效的方法是节能减排,降低二氧化碳的排放。
词义猜测题。由第一段中的”Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. (植树曾被认为是减少气候变化的有效手段。也许是时候让我们重新思考这种做法了。)”,可知以前可以通过植树来减少气候变化,this practice 在此处意为“植树来减少气候变化”。故答案填 Planting trees to reduce climate change. /Tree planting is used to reduce climate change./Using tree planting to reduce climate change.
细节理解题。由第二段中的“The rise of CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds, UK. High levels of CO2 are increasing

加可能推动了这种快速增长,英国利兹大学的森林生态学家 Roel Brienen 说。他补充说,高水平的二氧化碳会使温度升高,这反过来又加速了这些地区的树木生长。)”可知,是因为燃烧化石燃料产生的二氧化碳的增加,才使世界各地的树木生长得比以往任何时候都快,故答案填Because of the rise of CO2 from burning fossil fuels. /Because of the rise of CO2./Because burning fossil fuels leads to the rise of CO2.
细节理解题。“The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live.(研究小组发现,树木生长越快,储存二氧化碳的速度就越快,寿命也就越长。)”由第四段中的“They found that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species, and even within a species, the trade-off between growth and lifespan held strong.(他们发现,在几乎所有的栖息地和所有的地点,生长较快的树种比生长较慢的树种死得早,甚至在一个物种内,生长和寿命之间的权衡也很
重要。)”,可知 Berienen 和他的团队发现生长较快的树种比生长较慢的树种死得早,说明生长较快的树种寿命短,因此“the longer lives they live”(寿命也就越长)错了。故答案填 The team has found that the faster trees
grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live. Because Berienen and his team found that faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./According to Berienen and his team’s research, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./Because fast-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species.
开放答题。根据文章大意及自身经历,思考在日常生活中可以做什么来减少二氧化碳的排放,比如利用布袋购物或乘坐公共交通工具来节约能源,减少二氧化碳的排放等,故答案填 There are many things I can do to help. Firstly, I’ll take a reusable cloth bag and say no to plastic bags while shopping, for it can save energy
and reduce pollution. Secondly, when I go somewhere, I’ll choose public transportation instead of private cars to reduce the emission of CO2.

【答案】
Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear that you’ re interested in the photography exhibition held in our school last week.
The exhibition was organized by the school’s photography club. Students from all grades participated. They submitted their photos showing different beautiful scenes on campus. It was held in the school hall and lasted for three days.
There was one photo that really impressed me. In the photo, students were helping the cleaners on campus to pick up trash. Everyone had big smiles on their faces despite the hard work. It showed the kindness and responsibility of us students, which is what makes our campus life more meaningful.
I hope you get a better understanding of this activity.
Yours, Li Hua
