Brown Girl Dreaming uses poetry to tell the author’s true story of growing up as a black woman in the 1960s and 1970s.

Hundreds of teenagers have walked in through the doors of Britain’s National Centre for Gaming Disorders since it opened. Lately, however, it has admitted a small but steady stream of different patients — 67 people over the age of 40. The oldest, addicted to games on her smartphone, was 72.
As today’s 60-somethings enter retirement, time spent on smart devices is shooting up. “They are increasingly living their lives through their phones, the way teenagers sometimes do”, says Dr. Ipsit Vahia.
The elderly have long been champion television-watchers. Now, however, the newly retired are the most enthusiastic adopters of digital bining TV and smart devices, those of retirement age clock up more daily screen time than young adults.
In countries where the trend is most advanced, people are starting to worry about elderly smartphone users in the same way that they worry about teens. A study in South Korea estimated that 15% of those aged 60 to 69 were at risk of phone addiction. Research from Japan found screen time was associated with less physical activity among the elderly, while a survey in China linked it to worse sleep.
With more screen time, older people face some online risks that teenagers do not. Their phones and tablets are often linked to bank accounts. In-game purchases can empty wallets, and bad guys can rob victims within the same app. Moreover, they also lack the social guardrails that regulate teenagers’ screen time. During the day, teachers police teens’ phone usage, while parents do the reminding in the evening. By contrast, elderly people are their own bosses and may not have someone to guide them towards help.
Yet an increase in screen time among the elderly is by no means all bad. Messaging apps bring family closer. Gaming kills the time. Spotify and YouTube serve as a reminder of childhood, bringing back music and videos. For better or worse, seniors’ screen time has much further to grow.
4. What trend does the text mainly highlight
A. Seniors are using IT devices more than youths. B. Screen use is rising among older adults.
C. Uncontrolled gaming is emerging as a concern. D. Internet is reshaping the retirement life.
5. What concern is raised about elderly smartphone users
A. They may become socially separated. B. Their phone use limits their activities.
C. They are unaware of digital addiction. D. Their screen use affects their health.
6. What can we infer from paragraph 5
A. Greater personal freedom heightens digital risks. B. Older adults are the main target of online crimes.
C. Financial links on digital devices cause money loss. D. External guidance prevents unsafe online behavior.
7. Why are messaging apps and media platforms mentioned
A. To show benefits of screen use. B. To explain seniors’ preferences.
C. To stress entertainment choices. D. To predict future screen growth.
C
We’ve all been there. A breakup leaves you heartbroken, a family argument shakes your world, or work stress makes every day feel like a marathon. And suddenly, you are hitting the gym multiple times a week, signing up for courses you never intended to take, or buying clothes and tools as if your life depended on them.
From an evolutionary perspective, when a stressor threatens our emotional balance, the nervous system seeks quick wins. These quick wins release dopamine, the brain’s feel-good chemical. Unfortunately, they also fuel thoughtless behavior, whether it is shopping or taking on multiple new projects at once.
Research on retail therapy (购物疗法) shows that making choices about purchases can actually restore a sense of personal control when people feel sad or powerless. Choosing what to buy can reduce sadness because it gives the feeling of control over one’s environment, even if the purchase itself has little long-term value. Losing control in one area of life pushes the brain to regain it somewhere else, and buying something or starting a project provides the same feeling.
While those behaviors can make us feel good in the moment, it is rarely sustainable. Pushing ourselves toward productivity or chasing dopamine through purchases does not resolve the emotional problems. Over time, this pattern reduces emotional resources. People who push themselves constantly without dealing with the emotional context are more likely to experience exhaustion. Emotion-driven projects and purchases can temporarily lift mood, but do not restore emotional balance.
Life’s low points can push us into overdrive, making us feel that doing something is better than sitting with discomfort. That instinct is natural. The most powerful growth happens not from busyness or quick dopamine fixes, but from intentional action grounded in emotional awareness. When we notice our problems and act consciously, we can transform thoughtless behavior into sustainable strength.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To present a common phenomenon. B. To introduce different living habits.
C. To provide solutions to daily stresses. D. To explain some emotional problems.
9. What can we infer about “quick wins”
A. They bring long-lasting benefits. B. They lead to sadness and tiredness.
C. They remove thoughtless behavior. D. They help regain a sense of control.
10. What will happen if people rely on emotion-driven projects
A. They will build up confidence. B. They will achieve emotional balance.
C. They will consume emotional resources. D. They will address the emotional context.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Where Can We Get a Sense of Control
B. Why Do We Act Crazily When Feeling Down
C. What Role Does Dopamine Play in Our Mood
D. How Can We Transform Thoughtless Behavior
D
Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders, envisioning (预想) every possible outcome. Do you picture yourself in control Or does your imagination toy with the idea of failure The answer matters because it could affect your confidence and, ultimately, how well you will perform in the upcoming match. Although people don’t take such moments spent in their imagination as seriously as they should, it can be just as vital as any physical practice, directly impacting your chances of success.
This is especially the case in high-pressure situations where what’s happening inside your mind outweighs what’s happening outside. Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的) and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events. To take just one example, just as emotional pictures and sounds can cause the pupils to widen, so can emotional mental images in the mind.
Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence (相等), which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it. For instance, when athletes vividly imagine running a race or sinking a basket, their brain scans reveal that the same neural circuits (神经回路) are activated as if they were physically performing the task. Other research with athletes using functional MRI (磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation.
The principle of functional equivalence extends beyond sports. In one study, pianists were asked to picture moving their fingers across the keys, hearing the tune, and seeing the sheet music. Astonishingly, the same motor areas in their brains lit up as when they actually played.
Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and real-world performance. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge, using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference. The key is to switch your mental channel to an image of capability, control and empowerment.
12. How does the author start the text
A. By giving a definition. B. By explaining an opinion.
C. By sharing an experience. D. By presenting a context.
13. In which aspect is mental imagery the same as actual occurrences according to the text
A. Requiring body movements. B. Causing emotional responses.
C. Affecting physical functions. D. Strengthening visual reactions.
14. In which case may functional equivalence occur
A. A doctor envisions the procedure of an operation.
B. A learner conducts a discussion with a professor.
C. A pianist videos finger movements for perfection.
D. A speaker practices a deep breath before a speech.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Positive emotion brightens your life. B. Imagination promotes your creativity.
C. Mental imagery increases your success. D. Physical practice unlocks your potential.

When a person has a growth mindset, he tends to see all experiences — positive and negative — as learning opportunities. ____16____, he’ll receive it as information to make his path forward more productive.
For example, consider a student who receives a C on his math midterm exam. With a growth mindset, this student may review the exam and seek additional help to understand the concepts he didn’t grasp. ____17____.

She identified the concept when researching the differences between students who succeed and those who don’t. ____18____. Those with a growth mindset tended to find success more frequently and easily than those with a fixed mindset.

The diagnosis arrived like a seismic shift, fracturing the landscape of my life into a “before” and “after”. Cancer, an insidious ___21___ of nature’s own cellular machinery, had taken residence within me. The initial prognosis was a barrage of statistics, a cold ___22___ of probabilities that felt utterly divorced from the visceral reality of fear. My body, once a trusted vessel, was now a contested territory, a battlefield where the very essence of life had turned ___23___.
The treatment regimen was a brutal ___24___, a chemical war waged against my own biology. Each infusion was a calculated assault, a necessary ___25___ designed to annihilate the malignant cells, yet leaving a trail of collateral damage in its wake. Nausea, fatigue, and a profound sense of alienation became my constant companions. I felt like a stranger in my own skin, my reflection in the mirror a ___26___ of the person I once was.
In the depths of this struggle, I found an unexpected ___27___ in the natural world. A single, resilient dandelion pushing through a crack in the hospital pavement became a symbol of tenacious life. The relentless cycle of the seasons, the quiet ___28___ of a tree shedding its leaves only to bud again, offered a silent, profound lesson in resilience. Nature, in its indifferent yet cyclical grandeur, did not offer platitudes but a stark, beautiful truth: life persists, adapts, and regenerates.
This ___29___ with the natural world sparked a fundamental shift in my perspective. I began to see my body not as a traitor, but as a complex ecosystem thrown into disarray. The goal was no longer just to “fight” a war, but to restore a delicate ___30___ I incorporated meditation, drawing strength from the stillness of a forest, and gentle yoga, aligning my breath with the rhythmic pulse of the earth. These were not cures, but acts of ___31___, a way to harmonize my internal chaos with the external order of the universe.
The journey was not linear. There were setbacks, moments of despair that felt like an endless winter. Yet, the memory of that dandelion, the ___32___ of the spring sun, and the quiet patience of the ancient oaks in the nearby park became my anchors. They reminded me that healing is not a conquest, but a process of ___33___, of learning to live with the scars, both visible and invisible.
Today, in remission, I carry this newfound wisdom. The experience has ___34___ me, stripping away the superficial and revealing a core of profound gratitude for the simple, miraculous act of being. I understand now that we are not separate from nature, but an intricate part of its vast, unpredictable tapestry. My cancer was a brutal teacher, but it taught me to see the extraordinary ___35___ woven into the very fabric of existence.
21. A. malfunction B. mutation C. deviation D. corruption
22. A. assessment B. calculation C. enumeration D. appraisal
23. A. antagonistic B. hostile C. adverse D. malignant

It was a bright Saturday in early March. Dad had recently promised he would “live healthier,” so Mum took him out for a walk in the park every weekend. After a slow, easy morning, Mum came downstairs and found the children glued to a cartoon. She turned off the TV and lowered her voice. “Listen,” she said, “I’m going to do something really special for Dad. If you hear anything, you must keep it secret.”
Lucy nodded at once, but her brother Max frowned (皱眉). “Dad’s birthday isn’t until late April,” he said. “Isn’t it a bit early to make a plan ” Mum paused, then explained that this year mattered more than usual — Dad was going to turn forty. “Forty ” Max said without thinking. “That’s... properly old!” Lucy tried not to laugh, but Mum even didn’t smile. She said she wanted to plan ahead, because she hoped to invite some of Dad’s old friends to give him a big surprise and make him feel truly celebrated.
That afternoon, Mum called Aunt May, whose small café had enough space for a gathering. Aunt May agreed happily. She also said she would bake a big cake and drop by to take some old photos for decorations in the next few days. Mum reminded the kids that Dad hated “troubling other people,” and that was exactly why the surprise needed to be gentle and well prepared.
For the next few days, Mum whispered on the phone, wrote lists, and hid shopping bags in the wardrobe (衣橱). The children tried hard to act normal. But one evening at dinner. Dad suddenly put down his chopsticks, rubbed his temple (太阳穴), and sighed. “I just remembered,” he said quietly. “I’m turning forty in April. Let’s not do anything. I’d rather pretend it isn’t happening.” Mum froze for a second, and the children exchanged worried looks. At that moment, saving them from having to reply, the doorbell rang. Mum rushed to open the door.
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150 左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing Aunt May at the door, Mum’s eyes widened in alarm.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Dad’s birthday evening, Mum suggested a simple dinner at Aunt May’s café.

With more screen time, older people face some online risks that teenagers do not. Their phones and tablets are often linked to bank accounts. In-game purchases can empty wallets, and bad guys can rob victims within the same app. Moreover, they also lack the social guardrails that regulate teenagers’ screen time. During the day, teachers police teens’ phone usage, while parents do the reminding in the evening. By contrast, elderly people are their own bosses and may not have someone to guide them towards help.
Yet an increase in screen time among the elderly is by no means all bad. Messaging apps bring family closer. Gaming kills the time. Spotify and YouTube serve as a reminder of childhood, bringing back music and videos. For better or worse, seniors’ screen time has much further to grow.
4. What trend does the text mainly highlight
A. Seniors are using IT devices more than youths. B. Screen use is rising among older adults.
C. Uncontrolled gaming is emerging as a concern. D. Internet is reshaping the retirement life.
5. What concern is raised about elderly smartphone users
A. They may become socially separated. B. Their phone use limits their activities.
C. They are unaware of digital addiction. D. Their screen use affects their health.
6. What can we infer from paragraph 5
A. Greater personal freedom heightens digital risks. B. Older adults are the main target of online crimes.
C. Financial links on digital devices cause money loss. D. External guidance prevents unsafe online behavior.
7. Why are messaging apps and media platforms mentioned
A. To show benefits of screen use. B. To explain seniors’ preferences.
C. To stress entertainment choices. D. To predict future screen growth.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A

We’ve all been there. A breakup leaves you heartbroken, a family argument shakes your world, or work stress makes every day feel like a marathon. And suddenly, you are hitting the gym multiple times a week, signing up for courses you never intended to take, or buying clothes and tools as if your life depended on them.
From an evolutionary perspective, when a stressor threatens our emotional balance, the nervous system seeks quick wins. These quick wins release dopamine, the brain’s feel-good chemical. Unfortunately, they also fuel thoughtless behavior, whether it is shopping or taking on multiple new projects at once.
Research on retail therapy (购物疗法) shows that making choices about purchases can actually restore a sense of personal control when people feel sad or powerless. Choosing what to buy can reduce sadness because it gives the feeling of control over one’s environment, even if the purchase itself has little long-term value. Losing control in one area of life pushes the brain to regain it somewhere else, and buying something or starting a project provides the same feeling.
While those behaviors can make us feel good in the moment, it is rarely sustainable. Pushing ourselves toward productivity or chasing dopamine through purchases does not resolve the emotional problems. Over time, this pattern reduces emotional resources. People who push themselves constantly without dealing with the emotional context are more likely to experience exhaustion. Emotion-driven projects and purchases can temporarily lift mood, but do not restore emotional balance.
Life’s low points can push us into overdrive, making us feel that doing something is better than sitting with discomfort. That instinct is natural. The most powerful growth happens not from busyness or quick dopamine fixes, but from intentional action grounded in emotional awareness. When we notice our problems and act consciously, we can transform thoughtless behavior into sustainable strength.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To present a common phenomenon. B. To introduce different living habits.
C. To provide solutions to daily stresses. D. To explain some emotional problems.
9. What can we infer about “quick wins”
A. They bring long-lasting benefits. B. They lead to sadness and tiredness.
C. They remove thoughtless behavior. D. They help regain a sense of control.
10. What will happen if people rely on emotion-driven projects
A. They will build up confidence. B. They will achieve emotional balance.
C. They will consume emotional resources. D. They will address the emotional context.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Where Can We Get a Sense of Control
B. Why Do We Act Crazily When Feeling Down
C. What Role Does Dopamine Play in Our Mood
D. How Can We Transform Thoughtless Behavior
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
D
Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders, envisioning (预想) every possible outcome. Do you picture yourself in control Or does your imagination toy with the idea of failure The answer matters because it could affect your confidence and, ultimately, how well you will perform in the upcoming match. Although people don’t take such moments spent in their imagination as seriously as they should, it can be just as vital as any physical practice, directly impacting your chances of success.
This is especially the case in high-pressure situations where what’s happening inside your mind outweighs what’s happening outside. Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的) and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events. To take just one example, just as emotional pictures and sounds can cause the pupils to widen, so can emotional mental images in the mind.
Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence (相等), which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it. For instance, when athletes vividly imagine running a race or sinking a basket, their brain scans reveal that the same neural circuits (神经回路) are activated as if they were physically performing the task. Other research with athletes using functional MRI (磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation.
The principle of functional equivalence extends beyond sports. In one study, pianists were asked to picture moving their fingers across the keys, hearing the tune, and seeing the sheet music. Astonishingly, the same motor areas in their brains lit up as when they actually played.
Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and real-world performance. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge, using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference. The key is to switch your mental channel to an image of capability, control and empowerment.
12. How does the author start the text
A. By giving a definition. B. By explaining an opinion.
C. By sharing an experience. D. By presenting a context.
13. In which aspect is mental imagery the same as actual occurrences according to the text
A. Requiring body movements. B. Causing emotional responses.
C. Affecting physical functions. D. Strengthening visual reactions.
14. In which case may functional equivalence occur
A. A doctor envisions the procedure of an operation.
B. A learner conducts a discussion with a professor.
C. A pianist videos finger movements for perfection.
D. A speaker practices a deep breath before a speech.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Positive emotion brightens your life. B. Imagination promotes your creativity.
C. Mental imagery increases your success. D. Physical practice unlocks your potential.

Cancer, an insidious ___21___ of nature’s own cellular machinery, had taken residence within me.

My body, once a trusted vessel, was now a contested territory, a battlefield where the very essence of life had turned ___23___.
The treatment regimen was a brutal ___24___, a chemical war waged against my own biology. Each infusion was a calculated assault, a necessary ___25___ designed to annihilate the malignant cells, yet leaving a trail of collateral damage in its wake.

Yet, the memory of that dandelion, the ___32___ of the spring sun, and the quiet patience of the ancient oaks in the nearby park became my anchors. They reminded me that healing is not a conquest, but a process of ___33___, of learning to live with the scars, both visible and invisible.
Today, in remission, I carry this newfound wisdom. The experience has ___34___ me, stripping away the superficial and revealing a core of profound gratitude for the simple, miraculous act of being.

47. 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。
It was a bright Saturday in early March. Dad had recently promised he would “live healthier,” so Mum took him out for a walk in the park every weekend. After a slow, easy morning, Mum came downstairs and found the children glued to a cartoon. She turned off the TV and lowered her voice. “Listen,” she said, “I’m going to do something really special for Dad. If you hear anything, you must keep it secret.”
Lucy nodded at once, but her brother Max frowned (皱眉). “Dad’s birthday isn’t until late April,” he said. “Isn’t it a bit early to make a plan ” Mum paused, then explained that this year mattered more than usual — Dad was going to turn forty. “Forty ” Max said without thinking. “That’s... properly old!” Lucy tried not to laugh, but Mum even didn’t smile. She said she wanted to plan ahead, because she hoped to invite some of Dad’s old friends to give him a big surprise and make him feel truly celebrated.
That afternoon, Mum called Aunt May, whose small café had enough space for a gathering. Aunt May agreed happily. She also said she would bake a big cake and drop by to take some old photos for decorations in the next few days. Mum reminded the kids that Dad hated “troubling other people,” and that was exactly why the surprise needed to be gentle and well prepared.
For the next few days, Mum whispered on the phone, wrote lists, and hid shopping bags in the wardrobe (衣橱). The children tried hard to act normal. But one evening at dinner. Dad suddenly put down his chopsticks, rubbed his temple (太阳穴), and sighed. “I just remembered,” he said quietly. “I’m turning forty in April. Let’s not do anything. I’d rather pretend it isn’t happening.” Mum froze for a second, and the children exchanged worried looks. At that moment, saving them from having to reply, the doorbell rang. Mum rushed to open the door.
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150 左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing Aunt May at the door, Mum’s eyes widened in alarm.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
