一、完形填空：本大题共10小题，共10分。
Last spring, our science teacher gave each of us a small, unlabeled seed. “Your task,” he said, “is to plant it, care for it, and keep a weekly journal. You won’t know what it is until it grows.”
I was not very patient back then. I put my seed in a pot (花盆) , watered it heavily on the first day, and expected to see something green the next morning. Of course, nothing happened. I felt 1 and almost forgot about it.
A week later, while cleaning my desk, I noticed the pot again. To my surprise, a tiny green shoot had broken through the soil. I felt a sudden sense of responsibility. I began to 2 the instructions: watering it regularly, making sure it got enough sunlight, and writing down every small change in my journal.
3 the plant grew, so did my patience. I learned that growth couldn’t be rushed. Some weeks, there was almost no visible change. My classmate, Leo, had a plant that grew much faster than mine. At first, I was a bit 4 . But then I realized we probably had different seeds. It wasn’t a competition; it was a personal journey of discovery.
The most exciting 5 came two months later. A beautiful orange flower bloomed on my plant. It was a marigold! The flower was not particularly rare or big, but to me, it was the most 6 sight in the world because I had grown it myself.
This project taught me more than just botany. It taught me about the 7 of patience, care, and consistent effort. I learned to appreciate the small, slow steps that lead to big results. Now, when I face a difficult task, I remember my marigold. I remind myself to 8 , trust the process, and keep putting in the work, even when I don’t see immediate results.
Sometimes, the best lessons in life come 9 the simplest things— like a single seed. It taught me that with time and care, even the smallest beginning can grow into something 10 .

As the city bus rumbled along its afternoon route, I sat with my headphones on, lost in my own world. Outside, the streets were just a familiar, grey blur. I was on autopilot, thinking only of my destination.
One Tuesday, however, my phone ran out of battery. Annoyed and bored, I had no choice but to look out the window. That’s when I began to really see.
I noticed an old man who ran a tiny newspaper stand at the same corner every day. He had a kind smile for every customer. A few stops later, I saw a woman carefully watering flower boxes outside a small cafe, creating a small patch of color against the concrete. I saw a young boy helping his grandmother off the bus, holding her bag with both hands.
Day after day, without my headphones (耳机) , this “silent movie” became the highlight of my commute. I started to recognize (认出) regular faces— the brisk-walking office worker, the group of students laughing. I realized these streets weren’t just a path from A to B; they were full of quiet stories and small acts of kindness I had been too distracted to notice.
This shift in attention changed more than just my bus ride. I became more observant at school, noticing a classmate struggling with a question or a teacher looking tired. I started listening more and talking a little less.
I learned that sometimes, you need to disconnect to truly connect with the world around you. My bus ride didn’t get faster, but my world became much richer and warmer.
16.What caused the writer to start observing the bus route differently
A. The bus route was changed.
B. The writer forgot his headphones.
C. The writer’s phone ran out of power.
D. The writer was travelling with a friend.
17.What does the phrase “on autopilot” in Paragraph 1 most likely mean
A. Driving a vehicle automatically.
B. Acting without paying real attention.
C. Feeling very excited about a journey.
D. Planning the route carefully in advance.
18.Which of the following details did the writer NOT mention seeing from the bus
A. An old man running a newspaper stand.
B. A woman cleaning the windows of a cafe.
C. A boy helping his grandmother.
D. Students walking together.
19.How did this new habit affect the writer at school
A. He became more careful of people around him.
B. He started participating in more activities.
C. He became the top student in his class.
D. He decided to become a bus driver in the future.
20.Which is the best title for the passage
A. My Bus Ride to School
B. The Importance of Saving Phone Battery
C. How to Be a Kind Person
D. Silent Movie Outside My Window
C
You’ve probably felt it: the slight pressure to clap (鼓掌) when a concert ends and everyone else is applauding, or the urge to check your phone the moment you hear others’ notifications (通知). This common experience is known as the bandwagon effect (从众效应).
The bandwagon effect is a psychological phenomenon where people do something primarily because others are doing it, regardless of their own beliefs or evidence. This isn’t just about following fashion trends. It influences more serious areas like investment decisions (投资决策), the popularity of new technologies, and even how news spreads on social media.
Why does this happen Psychologists point to several reasons. First, there is a strong human need for social belonging and acceptance (社会归属感与接纳). Conforming to the group can feel safe and reduce the risk of rejection. ▲ Second, when many people make the same choice, we often unconsciously assume they must be right, using their actions as a mental shortcut to judge what’s correct or desirable— this is called “social proof. ” In uncertain situations, this shortcut can be appealing.
However, the bandwagon effect has a dark side. It can lead to the rapid spread of misinformation if people share stories without verifying facts simply because they see others doing so. It can also suppress individual critical thinking and creativity, as people may hesitate to voice unique ideas that go against the crowd.
Awareness is the first step to resisting its pull. By pausing to ask ourselves, “Am I doing this because I truly believe it, or just because others are ” we can make more independent and thoughtful choices. In a connected world, the ability to think for oneself becomes not just a personal strength, but a social necessity.
21.What is the bandwagon effect according to the passage
A. A strong desire to lead others.
B. A tendency to follow others’ actions.
C. A fear of being different from the crowd.
D. A strategy to make decisions quickly.
22.Which of the following is NOT given as an example of the bandwagon effect’s influence
A. Investment decisions. B. Fashion trends.
C. Scientific research methods. D. Social media news spread.
23.What is the main purpose of the “social proof” mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. To prove someone is socially popular.
B. To serve as a shortcut for decision-making.
C. To encourage people to be more creative.
D. To increase the speed of information flow.
24.Which sentence is most suitable to fill in on the horizontal line in Paragraph 3
A. For example, wearing similar clothes creates a sense of unity.
B. Therefore, it is crucial to always make independent choices.
C. On the other hand, some people are born to be leaders.
D. In fact, standing out from the group can be rewarding.
25.What is the author’s main advice for dealing with the bandwagon effect
A. To completely avoid social media and large groups.
B. To find a group that shares all of your personal beliefs.
C. To always question the motives behind our own actions.
D. To trust the wisdom of the crowd in uncertain situations.
三、信息匹配：本大题共10小题，共20分。
Last month, I decided to try a challenge: living without my smartphone for one whole week. I had become so dependent on it for everything—chatting, watching videos, and even knowing the time.
26 My hand kept automatically reaching for my pocket, only to find it empty. I felt anxious and disconnected. To avoid temptation, I left my phone in a locked drawer at home. 27 This simple act forced me to plan my day instead of instantly looking things up online.
28 I started noticing small details I usually missed: the patterns of clouds in the sky, the different sounds of birds in the morning, and the actual expressions on my classmates’ faces during conversations. My mind felt quieter and more focused. I finished my homework faster because I wasn’t constantly checking messages.
When the week finally ended, I didn’t immediately rush back to my old habits. I realized my phone was a tool, not a necessity. I now turn it off during meals and family time. 29 It pushes our brains to be creative, to observe, and to simply think. I even started drawing again, a hobby I had abandoned years ago.
I’m not against technology. 30 But I’ve learned that sometimes, the best way to connect with the world is to first disconnect from the screen.
A．Instead, I carried a book, a notebook, and an old watch.
B．However, the first day was much harder than I had imagined.
C．By the fourth day, something interesting began to happen.
D．The experiment taught me that boredom can actually be useful.
E．My friends thought I was crazy and bet I couldn’t last two days.
F．It was a small change, but it made me feel strangely independent.

以下是五位同学的情况描述和六条建议。请根据五位同学的需求，帮助他们选择一条合适的建议。
31 . Ben loves playing basketball and is on the school team. However, major exams are coming in two months. He feels torn between daily training sessions and long hours of revision. He wants to maintain his fitness and team position but is also under great pressure to get good grades. 32 . Lisa is a quiet girl who enjoys reading and writing. She often has great ideas in class discussions but hesitates to speak up because she fears her opinions might sound silly. She watches more outgoing classmates share freely and wishes she could be more confident. 33 . David has a bad habit of delaying his school projects until the last minute. He always thinks there’s plenty of time at first, but ends up staying up late to finish the work, feeling stressed and producing lower- quality work than he is capable of. 34 . Emma is active on several online study forums. Recently, she found herself constantly comparing her own notes and grades with those shared by others. She feels anxious that she is not doing enough or as well as her“invisible” peers, which makes her lose focus on her own progress. 35 . Tom finds his attention easily pulled away while studying at home. A notification on his phone, a noise outside, or even his own wandering thoughts can break his concentration. He sits with his books for hours but feels very little gets done, which is frustrating. A．The “Five-More” Rule: When you feel like stopping, push yourself to do just five more minutes of work or solve five more problems. This small win can build momentum and make it easier to continue, breaking the cycle of endless delay. B．Digital Declutter for Focus: Designate specific, short blocks of time (e.g., 25-30 minutes) for deep study. During these periods, turn off all non-essential notifications and put your phone in another room. Use a physical timer. Train your brain to focus in bursts. C． Quality over Quantity in Comparison: Remember that people mostly share their highlights, not their struggles, online. Instead of comparing your everyday journey to their best moments, use these platforms to find specific learning resources, not as a measure of your self- worth. D．The “Pre-commitment” Strategy: Share your specific study goals and deadlines with a responsible friend or family member. Ask them to check on your progress at agreed times. This creates a sense of external accountability that can help you follow through. E. Balanced Block Scheduling: Divide your day into clear blocks for sports, study, and rest. Protect your study blocks as seriously as your training sessions. During study time, focus solely on revision; during training, enjoy the game fully. This clarity reduces guilt and increases efficiency in both. F. Low-risk Practice Grounds: Start by expressing your ideas in lower-pressure environments first. Write them down in a journal, share them with a close friend, or contribute to a written class forum online. This builds confidence in your thoughts before voicing them publicly.

36.阅读下面的短文，在空格处填入一个适当的词或用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案写在答题卡规定的位置上。
For years, most people believed plants lived quiet, passive (被动的) lives. However, recent research 36 (reveal) a surprising truth: plants are constantly “talking” and interacting in ways we are just beginning to understand.
A plant’s primary means of communication is chemical. When attacked by insects, many plants release 37 (chemical) into the air. This is not just a simple reaction; it’s a sophisticated warning system. Neighboring plants that detect these signals then start 38 (produce) their own defensive chemicals. Studies show a plant under threat can communicate 39 (effective) than we once imagined, triggering defenses in plants several meters away.
In one key experiment, scientists designed some brilliant experiments 40 (prove) this phenomenon. They placed aphids (蚜虫) on a tomato plant and watched. Soon, nearby, untouched plants also began preparing 41 (them) for attack by raising their toxin levels. This showed the message was being received. The 42 (one) clear evidence came from this simple but clever test.
43 underground network formed by fungi (真菌) acts like the internet, connecting plant roots. Through this “Wood Wide Web,” plants can share nutrients and information. A strong, old tree might, for example, help a weak seedling by sending it sugars 44 this network. 45 this connection is cut, the seedling’s chances of survival drop greatly.
This hidden conversation challenges us to look at the plant world with new respect. Plants are not just passive background objects; they are active participants in a complex, silent dialogue that sustains life on Earth.

37.【答案】Dear neighbors,
We are lucky to call Yangguang Community our home. However, to make it a truly green and sustainable place, we still face some challenges. Rubbish is sometimes thrown randomly, and many plastic bags are used without recycling, which pollutes our living space.
During the winter holiday, we’ll hold a community cleaning activity to pick up litter and a recycling sharing meeting to teach everyone to sort waste well. These activities can make our community cleaner and raise people’s environmental awareness.
Let’s take action actively, especially teenagers. Small efforts from everyone will make our home greener and more beautiful.
Let’s join hands and turn our community into a model of green living! Thank you.
