【答案】10. B 11. B 12. C
【原文】
W: So Richard, tell us about what got you started as an independent film maker.
M: From an early age, I enjoyed watching films and was fascinated by directing and photography, but it never occurred to me that I could do it myself until one day I picked up my father’s camera and started recording what was happening around me every day. I then worked at a local video shop that had a section of unclassifiable films. These films made up their own rules and always left me feeling as if something inside me had changed. They also proved that the medium of film could change someone’s views of the world, and that made me more determined to pursue film making.
W: And yet you claim that you don’t make art films.
M: Even though I want to make this type of film, it is easy to produce a bad one. More importantly, I just want to express my message through understandable films, using pictures and music, but not some abstract art concepts. By the way, I am not interested in art films that follow a predictable pattern.

W: Yes. We each have to complete 25 hours of voluntary work in order to graduate. Our new head teacher introduced the program last year.
M: Wow, interesting. Has it been popular with the students
W: Some of us weren’t happy at first, but everyone is on board now. Personally, I was a big fan of the idea from the start.
M: Really
W: Yeah. In fact, I thought about volunteering before, but it wasn’t easy to fit it in around school time and my weekend job. Now I get to leave school early every Thursday to go to the animal shelter.
M: That’s so cool. Do your friends work there with you
W: No, we all do different things. Sarah volunteers at a retirement home. Dan works with disabled kids and Mike works a shift at a food bank every Friday morning.
M: Wow, that’s important work. Food banks feed some of the poorest in our community.
W: True. The program has really opened our eyes to the world’s problems and I think we’re more caring as a result.

【原文】
When I was 10, I was hospitalized at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri for illness. They were testing me for a reason and the condition. I had to stay a couple of days and that involved getting shots and extensive tests. I was scared when my parents left, because I believed they would give me shots while they were gone and not listen to me. I knew that as a young person my opinion and fear meant nothing. The first night I went to bed and worried and cried the whole time. A nurse came in my room, sat down and read a book. I don’t remember her name and never met her. Every time I woke up and saw she was still sitting there. She will never know how much that mattered and it has been 25 years later now. Just her caring about my feelings and making me feel safe made a difference.
第二部分 阅读(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Future of Clean Energy in Homes
Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source.
ELECTRICITY 52%
HEATING 28%
COOLING 12%
APPLIANCES 6%
LIGHTING 2%
Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability.
HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling
Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future.
SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management
AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups.
SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution
Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.
WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids
Small-scale turbines(涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable.
21. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions
A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling.
C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances.
22. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates
A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines.
23. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition
A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency.
C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了家庭清洁能源的未来，包括家庭排放来源、清洁能源技术及投资需求。
21. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52%，HEATING 28%(以下是2022年家庭排放来源的细分。电力占52%，供暖占28%)”可知，电力和供暖两个类别加起来占家庭总排放量的四分之三以上。故选A。
22. 细节理解题。根据SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution部分中“Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.(太阳能是家庭最容易获得的可再生能源。自2010年以来，光伏电池的进步使成本降低了80%，使其在许多地区都可行)”可知，太阳能电池板被强调为适用于不同气候的成本效益高的技术。故选C。
23. 细节理解题。根据WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids部分中“Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade.(到2050年，太阳能和热泵等住宅可再生能源可以满足全球90%的家庭需求，但前提是未来十年的投资要增加两倍)”可知，Torres博士强调了能源转型需要更高的投资。故选C。
B
In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole. Once, I often found myself amazed at how my students, who brought these figures to life, grasped the essence of complex literary themes.
But the situation was quite different with their first assignment, which centered on the question: “Why is literature important ”
Most of the essays were barely a page long, and scarcely any had a sentence that could serve as a strong thesis statement. I was taken aback. Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them. This had to change.
As a new semester began, I asked everyone to craft a reflective essay on a literary work that had touched their soul. This time, they found the task far more engaging. For the subsequent two tasks, a drama-analysis project was followed by a poetry-creation workshop. I only stipulated that each piece should convey a deep-seated emotion. The outcomes were astounding. The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays and poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.
I entered the class believing that literature is important as a mirror of humanity. However, my students demonstrated something even more profound. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.
24. Who are the characters mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1
A. Senior-year students. B. The author’s relatives.
C. Famous literary critics. D. Fictional personas.
25. Why did the students perform poorly in their first writing task
A. They lacked writing skills. B. They had a limited understanding of literature.
C. They misinterpreted the question’s intent. D. They had no interest in the topic.
26. What does the underlined word “astounding” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Confusing. B. Impressive. C. Ordinary. D. Frightening.
27. What does the author’s experience illustrate
A. Literature can awaken deep-seated human emotions.
B. Teaching literature is an easy task.
C. Students prefer creative writing to theoretical essays.
D. Classic literature is losing its appeal.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师，通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
24. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole.(上学期，在我任教的高年级文学课上，我邂逅了诸多角色：一位守护着被遗忘王国的骑士、一位用民间故事治愈伤痛的慈祥祖母，还有一位消失在黑洞中的未来探险家)”可知，这些角色都是文学作品中的人物，即虚构人物。故选D。
25. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them.(这时我恍然大悟，问题其实出在问题本身上。他们本可以洋洋洒洒地写上很多关于社交媒体吸引力的内容，但纯粹的文学对他们而言似乎并无重要意义)”可推知，学生在第一次写作任务中表现不佳是因为他们误解了“文学为何重要”这一问题，觉得该主题无关紧要。故选C。
26. 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays and poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.(学生们钻研了大量的文学作品，写出了8到15页长的散文和诗歌，他们的见解开阔了我的视野，激发了我的情感)”可知，学生们深入研究了广泛的文学作品，写出了长篇的论文和诗歌，这些作品让作者印象深刻，“astounding”意为“令人赞叹的、印象深刻的”，与“Impressive”意思相近，故选B。
27. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.(当六月最后的铃声响起时，我带着一整年的回忆离开了，这些回忆让我深刻领悟到了文学最深远的意义——它能够唤醒沉睡的情感，带我们穿越至未曾见过的世界，并揭示出我们人类经历中共通的脉络)”可推知，作者的经历说明了文学可以唤醒人类深藏的情感。故选A。
C
Think back to the last time you wrote down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are that it wasn’t with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive(认知) benefits that digital tools can’t match.
“Statistically most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down than on a computer,” says Naomi Susan Baron, a professor of linguistics at American University in Washington D. C. From improved memory retention(保留) to enhanced learning outcomes, here’s how maintaining the art of handwriting can significantly impact how we absorb and keep information.
The benefits of writing by hand can partly owe to the engagement of multiple senses in the writing process. “Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex thinking and movement skill that requires a lot of our attention,” says Mellissa Prunty from Brunel University, who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning.
“This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children,” Prunty continues. The physical act of writing helps strengthen memory and improve learning outcomes, making it an important tool for educational growth.
Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive(劳动密集型) nature of handwriting. A study involving 42 adults learning Arabie found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and were better at sounding the newly learned letters out compared with people who were asked to learn the new characters by typing or by just looking at them.
“We think that our results can be partly explained by how handwriting activates different pathways to the same concept,” says Robert Wiley, a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina Greensboro and co-author of the study. “Handwriting can activate more connections across these different aspects compared with typing,” he says.
28. Why is handwriting better for remembering things compared to typing
A. Handwriting is more visually appealing.
B. Handwriting is more fun and enjoyable.
C. Typing is too fast and makes it hard to concentrate.
D. Handwriting engages many senses and requires more attention.
29. What’s a good thing about handwriting for kids according to Mellissa Prunty
A. It helps them to focus better. B. It makes learning more entertaining.
C. It improves their fine movement skills. D. It supports reading and spelling.
30. What’s the main finding of the study involving 42 adults learning Arabic
A. Adults preferred typing to handwriting.
B. Handwriting helped adults to learn Arabic faster.
C. Typing new characters was the best way to learn.
D. Handwriting did not improve memory retention.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. The Benefits of Handwriting.
B. The Decline of Handwriting.
C. How to Improve Memory through Handwriting.
D. The Difference Between Handwriting and Typing.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了手写相比打字在记忆和学习方面的优势，强调了手写对认知能力的积极影响。
28. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The benefits of writing by hand can partly owe to the engagement of multiple senses in the writing process. ‘Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex thinking and movement skill that requires a lot of our attention’.(手写的好处部分归功于写作过程中多种感官的参与。用手指握住笔，压在表面上，移动双手来创造字母和单词，这是一种复杂的思维和运动技能，需要我们大量的注意力。)”可知，手写之所以比打字更有利于记忆事物，是因为手写涉及多种感官，需要更多的注意力。故选D。
29. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“‘This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children,’ Prunty continues.(普伦蒂继续说道：‘这种更深层次的加工，包括将声音映射到字母形状，已被证明有助于儿童的阅读和拼写’。)”可知，根据Mellissa Prunty的说法，手写对孩子的好处是它有助于阅读和拼写。故选D。
30. 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and were better at sounding the newly learned letters out compared with people who were asked to learn the new characters by typing or by just looking at them.(一项涉及42名成人学习阿拉伯语的研究发现，与那些被要求通过打字或仅仅通过看新字符来学习的人相比，通过手写学习字母的参与者识别字母的速度更快，命名字母更容易，而且更擅长读出新学的字母。)”可知，涉及42名成人学习阿拉伯语的这项研究的主要发现是手写帮助成年人更快地学习阿拉伯语。故选B。
31. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了手写相比打字在记忆和学习方面的优势，强调了手写对认知能力的积极影响，选项A“手写的好处”可以作为这篇文章的最佳标题。故选A。
D
Horror fans have been painted with the same broad and bloody brush for decades: labelled as cold, unfeeling thrill-seekers who delight in others’ suffering. Film critics have described the fans and creators of films like Friday the 13th and Saw as “very sick people”. But I argue that these assumptions are all wrong.
The misconceptions about horror fans were seemingly supported by evidence presented in an analysis from 2007. But the analysis is only as strong as the studies it summarizes. In this case, they had poorly defined variables. For example, the two studies with the strongest association with low empathy examined participant enjoyment of torture and short clips that concluded with cruel murders and no satisfactory resolution. These measures probably won’t tell you much about horror fans. The authors of the analysis admitted deep in the discussion section that the link between empathy and enjoyment of horror disappeared when those studies were removed.
In 2024, I published a set of studies that directly addressed the question of horror fandom and empathy. The results were striking. Using standardised assessments, horror fans scored higher on empathy and compassion.
When my colleagues and I examined the motivations of horror fans at frightening attractions, we found that “adrenaline junkies” represent only one subset. We also found a group we called “dark copers”, who use horror to process difficult emotions. Another group, “white knucklers,” confront fear to learn about themselves. The three-type model reveals that many fans aren’t just motivated by adrenaline(肾上腺素). But there is one common trait among them.
My research has identified morbid curiosity(猎奇) as the most powerful predictor of horror fandom. It is this tendency to seek out information about threatening or death-related phenomena that drives a fascination with horror media. Studies show that people with higher levels of this curiosity demonstrate better preparedness for real crises and show increased resilience during stressful life events.
The evidence paints a picture of horror fans being empathetic, curious and psychologically complicated. Horror is a proof to human adaptability and our remarkable capacity to find meaning, connection and even growth in the face of our deepest fears.
32. What is a conventional wisdom about horror fans
A. They lack empathy. B. They tend to fall sick.
C. They desire comfort. D. They seek uniqueness.
33. What is the limitation of previous studies
A. They ignore the essence of humanity.
B. The variables’ definition is indefinite.
C. They rely much on participants’ feelings.
D. The incomplete discussion is misleading.
34. Why is the three-type model mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To introduce types of horror fans.
B. To show motivations of horror fans.
C. To group fans based on their emotions.
D. To compare different levels of curiosity.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards horrors
A. He doubted them. B. He dismissed them.
C. He approved of them. D. He brushed them aside.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了恐怖片粉丝的刻板印象，指出他们并非冷漠无情，而是具有同理心和好奇心，并通过研究揭示了恐怖片粉丝的多样动机和心理复杂性。
32. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Horror fans have been painted with the same broad and bloody brush for decades: labelled as cold, unfeeling thrill-seekers who delight in others’ suffering.(几十年来，恐怖片粉丝一直被用同样宽泛且血腥的笔触描绘：他们被贴上冷漠、无情的寻求刺激者的标签，以他人的痛苦为乐)”可知，传统观念认为恐怖片粉丝缺乏同理心。故选A项。
33. 细节理解题。根据第二段“The misconceptions about horror fans were seemingly supported by evidence presented in an analysis from 2007. But the analysis is only as strong as the studies it summarizes. In this case, they had poorly defined variables. For example, the two studies with the strongest association with low empathy examined participant enjoyment of torture and short clips that concluded with cruel murders and no satisfactory resolution. These measures probably won’t tell you much about horror fans. The authors of the analysis admitted deep in the discussion section that the link between empathy and enjoyment of horror disappeared when those studies were removed.(关于恐怖片爱好者的误解，看似得到了2007年一项分析研究的支持。然而，这类分析的可靠性完全取决于其所总结的具体研究质量。就此次分析而言，研究中变量的界定存在明显缺陷。例如，其中两项最能体现“低共情”关联性的研究，测量的是参与者对酷刑情节的接受度，以及观看以残忍谋杀收尾且毫无圆满结局的短片时的反应。这类测量指标恐怕难以真实反映恐怖片爱好者的特征。该分析报告的作者在讨论部分的末尾也承认，一旦剔除这两项研究，共情能力与恐怖片喜爱度之间的关联便不复存在)”可知，先前研究的局限性在于变量的界定存在明显缺陷，即变量的定义不明确。故选B项。
34. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When my colleagues and I examined the motivations of horror fans at frightening attractions, we found that “adrenaline junkies” represent only one subset. We also found a group we called “dark copers”, who use horror to process difficult emotions. Another group, “white knucklers,” confront fear to learn about themselves. The three-type model reveals that many fans aren’t just motivated by adrenaline (肾上腺素).(当我和同事们研究恐怖景点中恐怖片粉丝的动机时，我们发现“寻求刺激者”只是其中的一个子集。我们还发现了一群我们称之为“黑暗应对者”的人，他们利用恐怖来处理困难的情绪。另一群人，“硬着头皮面对者”，则通过面对恐惧来了解自己。这三种类型模式表明，许多粉丝的动机不仅仅是肾上腺素)”可知，第四段提到三种类型模式是为了展示恐怖片粉丝的不同动机。故选B项。
35. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The evidence paints a picture of horror fans being empathetic, curious and psychologically complicated. Horror is a proof to human adaptability and our remarkable capacity to find meaning, connection and even growth in the face of our deepest fears.(这些证据描绘出恐怖片粉丝富有同理心、充满好奇心且心理复杂的形象。恐怖证明了人类的适应能力，以及我们在面对最深的恐惧时寻找意义、联系甚至成长的不凡能力)”可知，作者对恐怖片持认可态度。故选C项。
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。
According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn(爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. 36 In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips.
Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted(分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to - dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. 37 This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate.
Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. 38 By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime.
Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. 39 Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling punished.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究为切入点，指出英国49%的公众正受“爆米花大脑”(注意力分散、思绪飘忽的精神状态)困扰，随后心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙针对该问题提出了思维导图法、思绪回归训练、减少科技使用、留白独处等四条实用解决建议。
36. 上文“According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing ‘popcorn (爆米花) brain’, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. (根据伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究，49%的英国公众正经历“爆米花大脑”，这种精神状态的特点是注意力分散、思绪飘忽。)”定义了“爆米花大脑”并说明其高发率，下文“In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips. (针对这些发现，心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙给出了她的顶级建议。)”引出解决建议。F项“他们感觉自己的注意力不太集中，深度思考也更少见了。”承接上文，“they”指代前文“49% of the UK public”，“注意力不太集中”“深度思考少见”是对“注意力分散、思绪飘忽”的进一步阐释，让读者更清晰理解“爆米花大脑”的表现，衔接自然。故选F。
37. 上文“Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to-dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. (采用思维导图法。为了管理分心的大脑，先把所有事情都写下来，比如约会、担忧和待办事项，一开始不用整理。一旦所有事情都写在纸上，就把它们归类到工作、情感健康等生活领域。)”详细介绍了思维导图法的前两个步骤——记录和归类，下文“This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate. (这能建立秩序，让你的大脑可以集中注意力。)”说明该方法的效果。E项“然后问问自己：现在什么重要，什么可以等一等？”作为思维导图法的第三步，承接前文的“记录和归类”流程，通过设问筛选优先级，进而实现下文“建立秩序、集中注意力”的效果，逻辑连贯。故选E。
38. 上文“Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. (每次你感觉思绪飘忽时，给自己三秒钟——吸气，说出你的感受，然后重新集中注意力。)”介绍了思绪回归训练的具体操作，下文“By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime. (通过这样做，当你的大脑过度运转时，你可能会降温。)”说明该训练的作用。G项“这种练习能让你慢下来，管理情绪。”解释了该训练的直接效果，“this practice”指代上文的三秒训练法，“慢下来”对应“吸气”的动作，“管理情绪”对应“说出你的感受”，且为下文“大脑降温”的深层效果做铺垫。故选G。
39. 上文“Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. (减少科技产品使用也是日常生活中回归正轨的关键。完全脱离数字产品是不现实的。)”提出减少科技使用的建议并指出完全脱离不现实，下文“Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. (然后可以给五分钟的屏幕使用时间作为奖励。)”说明后续的奖励机制。C项“相反，完全不使用屏幕25到30分钟。”通过“instead”承接上文“完全脱离不现实”，给出切实可行的替代方案——短时间不使用屏幕，“25到30分钟”与下文“五分钟奖励”形成时长搭配，构成“限制并奖励”的有效模式，逻辑清晰。故选C。
40. 下文“At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. (一开始，你可能会感到无聊，因为“爆米花大脑”喜欢一直“忙忙碌碌”才觉得安全。蒂娜建议：“不带音乐散步，或者只是盯着窗外。”“安静地坐着，观察自己的思绪。让你的大脑呼吸。”)”具体描述了“什么都不做”的放松方式及其意义。A项“在一天中留出时间什么都不做。”作为该段主题句，精准概括下文内容，“留出时间什么都不做”与下文“不带音乐散步”“安静坐着”等具体做法相呼应，符合段落主旨。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，文章主要介绍2025湖南省足球联赛(“湘超”)拉开大幕，这场赛事早已超越了体育竞技的范畴，成为解码湖南体育、文化与经济融合发展的新钥匙。
56. 考查冠词。句意：2025 年的“湘超”(湖南足球联赛)远不止是一场体育赛事；它更是一股社会热潮，为该省注入了新的活力。此处泛指“一个社会现象”，应用不定冠词，故填a。
57. 考查非谓语动词。句意：起初这些活动只是在本地范围内举行，但很快便突破了体育场地的限制，将各行各业的人们聚集在一起，他们都因对这项运动的热爱而团结在一起。“all (unite) by their love for the game”为独立主格结构，逻辑主语all指代people，与unite之间是被动关系，使用过去分词形式，故填united。
58. 考查定语从句。句意：体育场周边的广场变成了热闹的夜市，空气中弥漫着当地美食诱人的香气。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是night markets，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导，故填where。

62. 考查非谓语动词。句意：在一些村庄里，退役运动员和大学生们甚至开始在新建的球场旁组织免费的训练和辅导活动，将体能训练与学业辅导相结合。本句已有谓语动词started，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语，combine和逻辑主语retired players and college students之间是主动关系，使用现在分词作状语，故填combining。
63. 考查表语从句。句意：这种自力更生和共同努力的精神正是推动农村可持续振兴的动力。空处引导表语从句，引导词在从句中作主语，指物，应用连接代词what引导，故填what。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
The afternoon sun cast golden light over the mountain town of Pine Ridge. Emma Carter, a 17-year-old volunteer at the Wilderness Café, was wiping tables when the aroma of freshly baked blueberry muffins filled the air. Outside the café window, hikers with backpacks passed by, heading toward the popular Eagle’s Peak trail. A family of four — parents adjusting their walking poles while their two children argued over a water bottle — caught Emma’s attention briefly.
Suddenly, a sharp scream pierced the calm. A teenage boy came stumbling down the trail, his face pale. “Bear! There’s a bear by the creek!” he shouted. Panic rippled through the crowd. Emma froze as she saw a flash of brown fur moving swiftly through the trees behind the café. Her heart pounded when she noticed 6-year-old Lily Thompson, the café owner’s daughter, playing obliviously near the trash cans 50 meters away.
Dropping her cleaning cloth, Emma grabbed the metal tray from the counter. She burst through the back door, banging the tray violently and yelling at the top of her lungs. The juvenile black bear, startled by the sudden noise, rose on its hind legs. Lily froze in terror, her stuffed rabbit slipping from her grasp. Emma positioned herself between the child and the bear, continuing to create a human wall of sound. The bear swiped the air once before turning toward the forest.
When the bear finally retreated, Emma scooped up the trembling girl. But as she turned to carry Lily to safety, a guttural growl echoed from the woods. The bear had returned — this time with two cubs trailing behind. Emma’s blood turned to ice. Protective mother bears were known to be aggressive, and the narrow path back to the café now seemed miles away.
续写要求：
续写词数应为150左右；
请按如下格式续写：
Holding Lily close, Emma began backing slowly toward the café door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, the Pine Ridge Gazette ran a front-page story titled “Tray Hero Saves Child.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Holding Lily close, Emma began backing slowly toward the café door. Each step felt like walking on brittle glass. The mother bear’s low growls vibrated through the air as cubs clambered up a nearby pine tree. Emma forced herself to keep eye contact, her arms shaking from holding both Lily and the dented tray. When her heel finally touched the café’s wooden step, she lunged backward, slamming the door shut with her elbow. Cheers erupted as customers rushed to lock windows. Outside, the bear family disappeared into the forest, leaving only claw marks on the trash cans.
The next day, the Pine Ridge Gazette ran a front-page story titled “Tray Hero Saves Child.” A photo showed Emma serving pancakes with the now-famous tray displayed behind the counter. Wildlife experts praised her quick thinking, while the café saw record crowds asking to see “the bear-proof tray.” When reporters asked about her bravery, Emma blushed and gestured to Lily’s drawing taped on the wall — a stick-figure girl wielding a shining tray like a superhero’s shield. “I just did what felt right,” she insisted, though customers noticed she kept the tray within arm’s reach ever since.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述在午后阳光照耀的派恩里奇山镇，17岁的咖啡馆志愿者艾玛在工作时，听到一名少年尖叫称溪边有熊，随后发现咖啡馆老板6岁的女儿莉莉在垃圾桶附近玩耍，一只黑熊出现。艾玛迅速拿起金属托盘，通过制造噪音吓退黑熊。但黑熊带着两只幼崽返回，情况危急。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“艾玛紧紧地抱着莉莉，开始慢慢地向咖啡馆门口后退。”可知，第一段可描写艾玛抱着莉莉慢慢向咖啡馆门后退的过程。描述艾玛每一步都小心翼翼，熊妈妈的吼声让空气震动，幼崽爬上松树，艾玛努力保持与熊对视，手臂因紧张而颤抖，最终成功退到咖啡馆门口并关上门，顾客们欢呼并锁上窗户，熊一家消失在森林，只留下垃圾桶上的爪印，突出当时紧张的氛围和艾玛的勇敢。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天，《松岭公报》在头版刊登了一篇题为《托盘英雄救了孩子》的报道。”可知，第二段可描写第二天报纸报道此事后的情况。报纸以 “托盘英雄救小孩” 为题报道，配有艾玛端着煎饼、著名托盘展示在柜台后的照片。野生动物专家称赞，咖啡馆迎来大量顾客，记者采访时艾玛表示只是做了该做的事，且此后一直将托盘放在伸手可及之处。
2.续写线索：抱着莉莉后退——熊的举动——艾玛紧张应对——成功退回咖啡馆——熊离开——第二天报纸报道——专家称赞、咖啡馆顾客增多——记者采访艾玛

The Future of Clean Energy in Homes
Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source.
ELECTRICITY 52%
HEATING 28%
COOLING 12%
APPLIANCES 6%
LIGHTING 2%
Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability.
HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling
Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future.
SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management
AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups.
SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution
Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.
WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids
Small-scale turbines(涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable.
21. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions
A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling.
C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances.
22. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates
A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines.
23. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition
A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency.
C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology.
B
In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole. Once, I often found myself amazed at how my students, who brought these figures to life, grasped the essence of complex literary themes.
But the situation was quite different with their first assignment, which centered on the question: “Why is literature important ”
Most of the essays were barely a page long, and scarcely any had a sentence that could serve as a strong thesis statement. I was taken aback. Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them. This had to change.
As a new semester began, I asked everyone to craft a reflective essay on a literary work that had touched their soul. This time, they found the task far more engaging. For the subsequent two tasks, a drama-analysis project was followed by a poetry-creation workshop. I only stipulated that each piece should convey a deep-seated emotion. The outcomes were astounding. The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays and poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.
I entered the class believing that literature is important as a mirror of humanity. However, my students demonstrated something even more profound. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.
24. Who are the characters mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1
A. Senior-year students. B. The author’s relatives.
C. Famous literary critics. D. Fictional personas.
25. Why did the students perform poorly in their first writing task
A. They lacked writing skills. B. They had a limited understanding of literature.
C. They misinterpreted the question’s intent. D. They had no interest in the topic.
26. What does the underlined word “astounding” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Confusing. B. Impressive. C. Ordinary. D. Frightening.
27. What does the author’s experience illustrate
A. Literature can awaken deep-seated human emotions.
B. Teaching literature is an easy task.
C. Students prefer creative writing to theoretical essays.
D. Classic literature is losing its appeal.
C
Think back to the last time you wrote down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are that it wasn’t with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive(认知) benefits that digital tools can’t match.
“Statistically most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down than on a computer,” says Naomi Susan Baron, a professor of linguistics at American University in Washington D. C. From improved memory retention(保留) to enhanced learning outcomes, here’s how maintaining the art of handwriting can significantly impact how we absorb and keep information.
The benefits of writing by hand can partly owe to the engagement of multiple senses in the writing process. “Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex thinking and movement skill that requires a lot of our attention,” says Mellissa Prunty from Brunel University, who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning.
“This deeper level of processing, which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children,” Prunty continues. The physical act of writing helps strengthen memory and improve learning outcomes, making it an important tool for educational growth.
Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive(劳动密集型) nature of handwriting. A study involving 42 adults learning Arabie found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and were better at sounding the newly learned letters out compared with people who were asked to learn the new characters by typing or by just looking at them.
“We think that our results can be partly explained by how handwriting activates different pathways to the same concept,” says Robert Wiley, a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina Greensboro and co-author of the study. “Handwriting can activate more connections across these different aspects compared with typing,” he says.
28. Why is handwriting better for remembering things compared to typing
A. Handwriting is more visually appealing.
B. Handwriting is more fun and enjoyable.
C. Typing is too fast and makes it hard to concentrate.
D. Handwriting engages many senses and requires more attention.
29. What’s a good thing about handwriting for kids according to Mellissa Prunty
A. It helps them to focus better. B. It makes learning more entertaining.
C. It improves their fine movement skills. D. It supports reading and spelling.
30. What’s the main finding of the study involving 42 adults learning Arabic
A. Adults preferred typing to handwriting.
B. Handwriting helped adults to learn Arabic faster.
C. Typing new characters was the best way to learn.
D. Handwriting did not improve memory retention.
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. The Benefits of Handwriting.
B. The Decline of Handwriting.
C. How to Improve Memory through Handwriting.
D. The Difference Between Handwriting and Typing.
D
Horror fans have been painted with the same broad and bloody brush for decades: labelled as cold, unfeeling thrill-seekers who delight in others’ suffering. Film critics have described the fans and creators of films like Friday the 13th and Saw as “very sick people”. But I argue that these assumptions are all wrong.
The misconceptions about horror fans were seemingly supported by evidence presented in an analysis from 2007. But the analysis is only as strong as the studies it summarizes. In this case, they had poorly defined variables. For example, the two studies with the strongest association with low empathy examined participant enjoyment of torture and short clips that concluded with cruel murders and no satisfactory resolution. These measures probably won’t tell you much about horror fans. The authors of the analysis admitted deep in the discussion section that the link between empathy and enjoyment of horror disappeared when those studies were removed.
In 2024, I published a set of studies that directly addressed the question of horror fandom and empathy. The results were striking. Using standardised assessments, horror fans scored higher on empathy and compassion.
When my colleagues and I examined the motivations of horror fans at frightening attractions, we found that “adrenaline junkies” represent only one subset. We also found a group we called “dark copers”, who use horror to process difficult emotions. Another group, “white knucklers,” confront fear to learn about themselves. The three-type model reveals that many fans aren’t just motivated by adrenaline(肾上腺素). But there is one common trait among them.
My research has identified morbid curiosity(猎奇) as the most powerful predictor of horror fandom. It is this tendency to seek out information about threatening or death-related phenomena that drives a fascination with horror media. Studies show that people with higher levels of this curiosity demonstrate better preparedness for real crises and show increased resilience during stressful life events.
The evidence paints a picture of horror fans being empathetic, curious and psychologically complicated. Horror is a proof to human adaptability and our remarkable capacity to find meaning, connection and even growth in the face of our deepest fears.
32. What is a conventional wisdom about horror fans
A. They lack empathy. B. They tend to fall sick.
C. They desire comfort. D. They seek uniqueness.
33. What is the limitation of previous studies
A. They ignore the essence of humanity.
B. The variables’ definition is indefinite.
C. They rely much on participants’ feelings.
D. The incomplete discussion is misleading.
34. Why is the three-type model mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To introduce types of horror fans.
B. To show motivations of horror fans.
C. To group fans based on their emotions.
D. To compare different levels of curiosity.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards horrors
A. He doubted them. B. He dismissed them.
C. He approved of them. D. He brushed them aside.

According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn(爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. 36 In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips.
Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted(分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to - dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. 37 This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate.
Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. 38 By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime.
Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. 39 Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling punished.
40 At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs.”
So, are you ready to quiet the mental popcorn and get your focus back
A. Allow space in your day for doing nothing.
B. So, what’s making our brains pop like popcorn
C. Instead, go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes.
D. Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea.
E. Then ask yourself: what matters now and what can wait
F. They feel their attention less focused and deep thinking rarer.
G. This practice enables you to slow down and manage emotions.

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。
The afternoon sun cast golden light over the mountain town of Pine Ridge. Emma Carter, a 17-year-old volunteer at the Wilderness Café, was wiping tables when the aroma of freshly baked blueberry muffins filled the air. Outside the café window, hikers with backpacks passed by, heading toward the popular Eagle’s Peak trail. A family of four — parents adjusting their walking poles while their two children argued over a water bottle — caught Emma’s attention briefly.
Suddenly, a sharp scream pierced the calm. A teenage boy came stumbling down the trail, his face pale. “Bear! There’s a bear by the creek!” he shouted. Panic rippled through the crowd. Emma froze as she saw a flash of brown fur moving swiftly through the trees behind the café. Her heart pounded when she noticed 6-year-old Lily Thompson, the café owner’s daughter, playing obliviously near the trash cans 50 meters away.
Dropping her cleaning cloth, Emma grabbed the metal tray from the counter. She burst through the back door, banging the tray violently and yelling at the top of her lungs. The juvenile black bear, startled by the sudden noise, rose on its hind legs. Lily froze in terror, her stuffed rabbit slipping from her grasp. Emma positioned herself between the child and the bear, continuing to create a human wall of sound. The bear swiped the air once before turning toward the forest.
When the bear finally retreated, Emma scooped up the trembling girl. But as she turned to carry Lily to safety, a guttural growl echoed from the woods. The bear had returned — this time with two cubs trailing behind. Emma’s blood turned to ice. Protective mother bears were known to be aggressive, and the narrow path back to the café now seemed miles away.

Holding Lily close, Emma began backing slowly toward the café door.
