Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can't step into the same river twice, for you aren't the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality that everything is always changing.
Yet so many of us have difficulty adapting to change. We deny it, resist it or attempt to control it, the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety and burnout.
It doesn't have to be that way. No doubt, change can, and often does, hurt. But with the right mind set, it can also be a force for growth. It's not as if we have any choice in the matter. Like it or not, life is change. We'd be wise to shift our position from useless resistance to being in conversation with change instead.
A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by Peter Sterling and Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change”. In other words, the way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent.
From neuroscience to pain science and psychology, allostasis has become the standard model for understanding change in the scientific community. The brain is at its best when it is constantly making new connections. Overcoming pain, be it physical or psychological, is not about resistance (which often worsens the experience) or trying to get back to where you were before a distressing event or situation. It's about balancing acceptance with problem solving and moving forward to a new normal.
Yet this concept is still little known to ordinary people and it is time to start practicing it now. Over the past few years, the river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Hardly a decade after the widespread adoption of social media, a new technology that may be far more powerful, artificial intelligence, is being widely used.
It's like what our friend Heraclitus advised: Take part in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to let go of what we can't. Our ability to work with these changes is directly related to our life satisfaction.
语篇导读：本文体裁为议论文。 文章探讨了变化的不可避免性及其对个人生活的影响，提出应通过积极的态度和方法来适应变化，而不是抗拒，以此提高生活质量。
1．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A．We could have a right mind set.
B．Philosophy exists everywhere.
C．Some people are wiser than others.
D．Change is unavoidable in life.
解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can't step into the same river twice, for you aren't the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality that everything is always changing.(古希腊哲学家赫拉克利特教导说，你不能两次踏入同一条河流，因为每次你都不是同一个你，河水一直在流动。这是一个强有力的方式来表达一切都在不断变化的事实。)”可知，描述的现象是生活中变化是不可避免的。故选D。
2．How should we deal with changes according to the author
A．Ignore them.
B．Participate in them.
C．Fight against them.
D．Put them under control.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We'd be wise to shift our position from useless resistance to being in conversation with change instead.(我们明智的做法是从无用的抵抗转变为与变化进行对话。)”和最后一段中的“Take part in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to let go of what we can't.(通过专注于我们能控制的事情并努力放下我们不能控制的事情来参与变化。)”可知，作者建议我们应该参与变化。故选B。
3．What does the underlined phrase “letting up” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Slowing down.
B．Setting off.
C．Marching on.
D．Pulling in.

Some people browse TikTok and Instagram for recipes, memes and colorful opinions on the news. Erin Coleman says her 14 year old daughter uses these apps to search for videos about mental health diagnoses (诊断).
Over time, the teen started to self identify with the creators, according to her mother, and became convinced she had the same diagnoses, including depression, autism (自闭症), mysophobia (洁癖) and agoraphobia (a fear of leaving the house).
“Every week, she would come up with another diagnosis，” Coleman told CNN. “If she sees a hint (暗示) of herself in someone, she thinks she has it, too.” After undergoing testing for mental health and medical conditions, her daughter was diagnosed not with the long list of conditions she had thought about but with severe anxiety. “Even now, she doesn't always think the specialists are correct，” Coleman said.
Social media platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, have come under mounting scrutiny (详细审查) in recent years for their potential to lead younger users to harmful content and worsen what experts have called a national mental health crisis among teens. But Coleman is one of nearly two dozen parents who told CNN that they are worried about a different but related issue: teens using social media to diagnose themselves with mental health conditions.
A growing number of teens are turning to social platforms such as Instagram and TikTok for guidance, resources and support for their mental health, and to find conditions they think match their own—a trend that has alarmed parents, doctors and school counselors (辅导员), according to interviews with CNN. Some teens start to follow creators who discuss their own mental health conditions, symptoms and treatments; others have come across posts with symptoms checklists to help decide if they meet the criteria for a diagnosis.
Using the Internet to self diagnose is not new, as anyone who has used WebMD knows. And there can be some benefits. Some parents said social media has helped their teens get mental health information they've needed and has helped them feel less alone.
