As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt. Surely it’s inevitable that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments.
But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child A mom, who goes by Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other.
Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too.
That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children.
“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a bagel instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.”
Soogia’s tearful video pulled at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments.
“These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone revealed.
24. What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage
A. To illustrate the hard work of being a parent.
B. To stress parents’ consistent concerns about their children.
C. To introduce the story about a child’s growth that follows.
D. To contrast the different feelings between parents and children.
25. Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia
A. To ask for the lunch recipe her son loved.
B. To invite Soogia to prepare lunch for the children together.
C. To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school.
D. To express her appreciation for the lunch Soogia’s daughter brought.
26. What makes Soogia feel comforted
A. Her child can finally fit in with American society.
B. Her child has gained friendship and recognition at school.
C. Her child needn’t feel ashamed of their cultural background.
D. Her child can share their favorite food with their classmates.
27. What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children
A. Open-minded and inclusive. B. Adventurous and open-minded.
C. Tolerant and ambitious. D. Friendly and ambitious.
C
The Happiness Myth
Happiness is not natural. It is a mere human construct. A state of contentment (let alone happiness) is discouraged by our genetic design because it would lower our guard against possible threats to our survival.
Chasing happiness is like chasing an elusive (难寻踪迹的) ghost, but the positive thinking industry claims to know its secrets. Self-help was popularized by Norman Vincent Peale, a colorful American pastor (牧师). He invented “positive thinking”, a concept now deeply embedded in our culture and steadily growing in influence. The global personal development industry was valued at $38. 28 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a rate of 5. 1%.
Popular films and books are full of supposedly inspirational statements about how all you need to do is believe in yourself and then you’ll be able to achieve anything in life. This is simply, and obviously, not true. I don’t think there is a need to explain that many obstacles and misfortunes in life are inevitable, or unmanageable. Our ancestors knew this, and many philosophical and religious traditions are based on the acceptance that being alive is a very challenging task, which comes with significant amounts of suffering. It goes without saying that we should do all we can to maximize our sense of wellbeing and minimize our suffering (as the “utilitarian” philosophers explain), but the end result cannot be a state of sustained bliss (极乐). We are not designed that way.
The self-help genre is not a homogeneous (同种类的) beast, however. It is, in fact, ironic how self-help books on happiness and those on how to make it big in life are put together in the same bookshop shelves, given that many of the former tell us that caring too much about the latter is the main obstacle to happiness.
The inevitable clash between mandatory (强制的) optimism and the realities of our existence comes with a heavy psychological price. It could be argued that positive psychology blames those who are suffering for their suffering, as it is based on the false idea that unhappiness is entirely avoidable. It follows therefore that an unhappy person must be inadequate and incompetent. Positive psychology encourages people who are struggling with a particular goal to persevere in the face of unfavorable odds, which is much more punishing psychologically in the long run than accepting defeat. I believe that coming to terms with life as it is, and not as the happiness industry tells us it could be, will make us happier, and we will feel more at peace with ourselves and with the world. Unfortunately, the devil always has the best tunes.
28. What is author’s main purpose in writing the first three paragraphs
A. To analyze how personal development industry works.
B. To explain how unrealistic it is to pursue happiness in life.
C. To contrast modern people’s view of life with our ancestors’.
D. To review how the concept of happiness has changed over years.
29. It seems ironic to the author that putting self-help books on happiness and those on how to “make it big” together because .
A. they came from different publishers
B. they offer completely opposite values
C. their target readers belong to different age groups
D they are the best-selling and slowest-selling books on the market
30. According to the article, which of the following quotes would the author most strongly disagree with
A. Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering.
B. Happiness is ideal. It is the work of the imagination.
C. Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
D. The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
31. What does the underlined sentence “the devil always has the best tunes” mean
A. The core idea of the happiness industry is a beautiful lie.
B. The happiness industry has negative effects on the society.
C. Suffering contributes more to a meaningful life than happiness.
D. The one-sided interpretation of life proved more attractive to the public.
D
Scientists have calculated the total volume of plastic has incredibly amounted to 8.3 billion tonnes in the last 65 years, which is equivalent to 25,000 Empire State Buildings or one billion elephants.
The core problem lies in the dominance of single-use plastic packaging, which is discarded instantly after a disposable use; A study by the University of California illustrates that a mere 9% of plastic waste is recyclable,12% is incinerated, and 79% ends up in landfills, where it endures permanently owing to the non-biodegradable characteristic of plastic substances. Ecologist Dr Roland Geyer, the lead author of the research, warns that humankind is rapidly advancing toward a “Planet Plastic”, noting that existing plastic waste could approximately cover the entirety of Argentina, a nation of considerable territory in South America.
The research team further estimates that 8 million tonnes of plastic flow into seas annually, sparking the concerns that plastic enters human body via food chain when sea creatures absorb it.
Plastic’s widespread application stems from its versatility and durability, which make it irreplaceable for applications ranging from daily yoghurt containers to intricate spacecraft, yet these very attributes also make it an environmental issue since the only feasible method to decompose plastic, results in harmful emissions.
Oceanographer Dr Erik van Sebille from Utrecht University says we’re facing a tsunami of plastic waste, and that the global waste industry needs to get its act together.
Professor Richard Thompson, a marine biologist from Plymouth University, says poor design is at fault. He says if products are currently designed with recyclability in mind, they could be recycled around 20 times over.
Dr Geyer agrees: The holy grail of recycling is to keep material in use and in the loop for ever if you can. But it turns out in our study that actually 90% of that material that did get recycled, which I think we calculated was 600 million tonnes — only got recycled once.
32. What can we infer about the “Planet Plastic” mentioned by Dr Roland Geyer
A. Planet is entirely made of plastic.
B. Plastic will cover the Earth extensively.
C. A new planet is discovered with plastic-like substances.
D. Argentina is the most polluted country by plastic.
33. Why does the author mention plastic’s “versatility and durability”
A. To advocate banning plastic B. To explain plastic’s wide use despite harm
C. To prove plastic most useful D. To show advantages over harms
34. What does “get its act together” mean in paragraph
A. Cooperate to improve waste management B. Ban plastic production
C. Collect more plastic waste D. Reduce research investment
35. What is Professor Thompson’s attitude towards solving plastic pollution
A. Critical B. Pessimistic C. Neutral D. Optimistic
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。
Gratitude is a positive emotion that recognizes the good that others have brought to our lives, and is important both for our interpersonal relationships and physical well-being. ____36____. A pioneering meta-analysis spanning 15 countries confirmed a significant inverse correlation-higher gratitude correlates with lower loneliness-highlighting gratitude’s potential to ease the global loneliness epidemic.
Psychologist James Hittner notes loneliness results from unmet social relationship expectations, a psychological gap that often leads to emotional isolation and depression if left unaddressed. Hittner and Calvin Widholm analyzed 26 studies involving over 10,000 participants across diverse age groups and cultural backgrounds, finding a moderate inverse relationship between gratitude and loneliness. Those scoring above average in gratitude had a 62.4% chance of below-average loneliness, a statistic that held consistent even after controlling for factors like socioeconomic status. Neuroscientist Glenn Fox, who published the first direct study of gratitude in the brain in 2015, was not shocked by the result. ____37____. The research found gratitude boosts medial prefrontal cortex activity, a region tied to social bonding and the experience of joy, which further explains the emotional and neurological link between gratitude and reduced social disconnection.
Bartlett a professor at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, studies how our emotions have evolved to serve an adaptive social purposes____38____. Bartlett and her colleagues evaluated the long-term effect of gratitude on loneliness and health in older adults in a 2019 study. Over the course of 20 days, participants were asked to write down their daily grateful moments, specifying not just what they were thankful for but also why the experience mattered to them. This simple practice was reported to contribute to a sustained decrease in loneliness and a marked increase in physical and mental well-being in the participants.
Some research has even shown the positive impact of gratitude-letter writing, which takes the reflective practice a step further with tangible expression. Bartlett often suggests gratitude-letter writing to her students as an exercise in emotional awareness. She asked her students to write to a person who they have never thanked, or someone have not expressed gratitude to for a long time. ____39____.
To build a sustainable gratitude practice against chronic loneliness, Bartlett offers actionable, science-backed tips that go beyond basic daily reflection. First, record three good things and their specific contributors every day, rather than vague positive events. Second, write a physical gratitude letter to someone underappreciated and deliver it in person if possible, a gesture that requires vulnerability but often leads to deeply moving conversations. ____40____. Unlike texts or digital messages, hand-delivered letters foster authentic, deep interpersonal connection, directly easing loneliness.
A. She focused on older adults in research
B. Such practice strengthens interpersonal connections
C. His brain study backed the finding
D. Gradually, this cultivates a consistent gratitude routine
E. It has also been linked to decreased loneliness.
F. Gratitude lights the “social bonding” circuit
G. She questions whether gratitude works in long-term studies

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Bear was not a bear. She was a big dog on the Perkinses’ family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes and raccoons (浣熊) .
She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a nearby river.
Bear belonged to a breed (品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it had a keen instinct for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them, barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog — companion, guardian, protector.
The dog’s favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together. Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur, blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his “best friend”.
On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear’s attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice gave way under their combined weight.
As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卷相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Looking back, they saw little Mike holding on to a broken chunk (大块) of ice, unable to crawl onto it.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Seeing that, Bear let out a series of woofs and jumped into the water, heading straight for Mike.
