Holding my hands, my grandparents boarded a green-skinned train in Hangzhou, which
rocked and swayed for twenty-five hours straight to Ulanqab (乌兰察布市), Inner Mongolia. This is my childhood memory of returning home.
As the train journeyed north, the scenery outside the window gradually transformed from the gentle charm of the south to the vast openness of the north. Everything felt so beautiful, even the clamor (喧闹) inside the carriage carried a warmth. Before dawn the next day, I pressed my forehead against the fogged glass, watching the distant sunrise break through the horizon. It
seemed as though the morning sun had risen solely to welcome our return.
After starting elementary school, trips back to my hometown grew sparse, and that direct
train quietly closed down. The rails rusted into dotted lines in memory, and my hometown became a faint shadow on a photographic negative (照相底片).
Then, last year, Grandpa passed away, and the frequency of returning home suddenly
surged. Yet, the journey no longer held the leisurely comfort of childhood it became a long,
exhausting journey. We rushed to the airport before daybreak, weighed down by luggage
check-ins. The cramped cabin and turbulent air currents added discomfort, while navigating the maze-like airport and enduring hours of road travel left us arriving under completely dark skies. There was no time to admire the scenery, let alone the endless sea of clouds outside the airplane window.
This year, upon hearing that the long-suspended train had resumed operation, an
indescribable excitement welled up in my heart. A month ago, I finally boarded this long-missed train again. As night fell, the train slowly set off. The familiar voices in the carriage, mingling
with the rhythmic clatter of wheels against tracks, blended into a nostalgic lullaby (怀旧的摇篮
曲). Lying on the bunk, I felt the gentle sway of the train, as though cradled in the arms of Mother Earth...Years have blurred the details of my memory, and I have sketched it one by one with my imagination.
Finally, the train arrived at my hometown. The moment I met my grandma, the long-accumulated yearning in my heart burst out like a tidal stream now...
24 ．Why does the author describe the train journey in her childhood
A ．To compare the train journey with air travel.
B ．To show the inconvenience of traveling by train.
C ．To emphasize the long distance to her hometown.
D ．To highlight the beauty and warmth of the train journey.
25 ．What does the underlined word “sparse” in paragraph 3 most probably mean
A ．Rare. B ．Frequent. C ．Regular. D ．Complex.
26 ．What is the author’s attitude towards modern travel by air
A ．Indifferent. B ．Grateful. C ．Dissatisfied. D ．Enthusiastic.
27 ．What can be a suitable title for the text
A ．Memories of My Hometown B ．Old tracks Back Home
C ．The Change of Transportation D ．The Beauty of Air Travel
C
Human beings have always loved reviews: word of mouth has long been regarded as one of the most valuable marketing tools available to a company. Consumers enjoy reading and giving
reviews. However, the problem is that a lot of the reviews are fake (假的). Shabnam Azimi and Alexander Krasnikov of Loyola University of Chicago and Kwong Chan of Northeastern
University recently published a study on fake reviews.
The study used a data set of 1,600 reviews of Chicago hotels. Some of them were real;
others were fake. The reviews were presented to 400 subjects. Each subject got eight reviews to read: a balanced set of two positive fake, two positive real, two negative fake and two negative real, presented in a random order. The reviews were written by real people who were given
information about the hotel.
The results show that consumers generally trust negative reviews more than positive ones.
Moreover, we humans tend to assume that positive reviews might be fake. “Overall, negative
reviews are less common. So, we pay more attention to them. When a negative review is fake, we get tricked,” Azimi says.
When it came to faking a review, length was important to believability, as was detail. A
long, negative review of a hotel, complete with lots of information, tended to convince
participants. A lengthy, positive review, on the other hand, was regarded as suspicious, and
participants tended to trust writers that kept their glowing reviews short. Emotion was also
important in convincing readers — or the lack of emotion, at least. Azimi says study participants tended not to trust reviews where the writers expressed their feelings in a big way. The more
dispassionate that negative write-up, the more likely it was to take the reader in.
The fake reviews written for Azimi’s study were put together by humans, but increasingly, fake reviews are being written by AI, which makes them look more real. Though many companies use algorithms (算法) to weed out fake reviews, Azimi points out that the machines are
programmed by humans, and given our limited ability to spot fake reviews, this isn’t a good sign.
28 ．Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A ．Its design. B ．Its findings. C ．Its purposes. D ．Its significance.
29 ．What does the underlined word “glowing” in paragraph 4 mean
A ．Funny. B ．Abusive. C ．Insightful. D ．Praising.
30 ．What kind of review would readers most likely trust
A ．A long, positive one. B ．An unemotional, negative one.
C ．A short, negative one. D ．An enthusiastic, positive one.
31 ．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Many companies are producing fake reviews.B．Writing fake reviews will be declared illegal.
C ．Machines can detect fake reviews accurately.D ．It will be harder to recognize fake reviews.
D
When planning my wedding, I was determined not to get caught up in the “perfect day”, but to have a relaxed, informal celebration. My husband and I ended up having a lovely time.
“Pursuit of perfection is a prison,” says Moya Sarner, an NHS psychotherapist. Many of us are driven by the unconscious wish that if we could just have the perfect body, the perfect job and
the perfect family, then we would be happy. For that reason, it can be one of the most significant barriers to happiness in life.
The psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott wrote about the importance of the “good enough
mother” who meets her baby’s needs timely, but is not perfect. He said perfect is harmful. To meet every desire immediately, to pass the toy straight away whenever it is demanded slows down a
baby’s growth, robbing them of the opportunity to feel frustrated and learn to crawl to get the toy for themselves.
Winnicott believed that while perfection is not a virtue, tolerance of imperfection is. If we cannot develop the capacity to tolerate imperfection in ourselves and in those around us, we can have no self-confidence, no sustainable relationships and no fulfilling career. If we’re always
trying to build something called a perfect life, we aren’t really living the one we’re in.
How do I know all this I am a perfectionist in recovery. I’ve started to recognize my
intolerance of imperfection — my need for certain things to be exactly as I would like them to be, from the way my husband chops his onions to my terror of being late — and it has made a huge
difference to my relationship and my parenting. How can you be a good partner if you expect everyone else to fit your own narrow expectations How can your child grow if they sense that they always need to color precisely inside the lines you’ve drawn out for them
We need to go further than tolerating imperfections. We need to learn to appreciate their humanity and beauty. Imperfections are why people will pay a calligrapher to handwrite
invitations when a computer can produce a flawless (完美的) version of the same script for less money and in less time. So for a more delicious life, and ultimately a better one, I choose
imperfectionism.
32 ．Which of the following does the author agree with
A ．Pursuit of perfection restricts people’s development.
B ．Pursuit of perfection blocks people’s access to happiness.
C ．We should keep building a perfect life to gain true happiness.
D ．Tolerating imperfections cannot bring us any improvement in life.
33 ．What can we learn from the example of the “good enough mother”
A ．Raising a child brings a mother much joy.
B ．Pursuing perfection is the duty of mothers.
C ．Meeting babies’ demands is very challenging.
D ．Responding instantly impacts babies’ growth.
34 ．What is the function of the two questions at the end of Paragraph 5
A ．To shift topics. B ．To make assumptions.
C ．To encourage thinking. D ．To arouse interest.
35 ．Which of the following might the author approve of
A ．A miss is as good as a mile. B ．Haste makes waste.
C ．Close enough is good enough. D ．Practice makes perfect.

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。
Learning frustration refers to the emotional response students have when they are faced with tough academic tasks, often leading to stress, avoidance, or negative self-talk. 36 . Let’s
explore how to help students push past learning barriers and come out stronger. Normalize the struggle
The first step in overcoming frustration is acknowledging that struggle is normal — and valuable. 37 . In fact, encountering obstacles is often when the deepest learning happens.Break
down the challenge
Overwhelming assignments can feel like unconquerable mountains. 38 . For
example, instead of tackling an entire essay at once, start with brainstorming ideas or outlining a single paragraph. 39
When students hit a barrier, they may often get stuck on the idea of having to get it “right.” But learning is about experimenting, making mistakes, and adjusting. Encourage students to try
different approaches and celebrate effort, even when the answer isn’t perfect.Build confidence through small wins
Confidence is the key to pushing past obstacles. By setting achievable goals, students can experience frequent “wins” that remind them of their capabilities. 40 .
Frustration doesn’t have to disrupt a student’s academic progress. When channeled
correctly, it becomes an opportunity for growth, resilience, and deeper understanding, which help
students not only succeed in school but also build skills that prepare them for life.
A ．Enhance capabilities by trial and error
B ．Over time, it builds a sense of confidence
C ．Encourage problem-solving, not perfection
D ．Learning isn’t supposed to be effortless or smooth
E ．Help students learn to cope with one piece at a time
F ．These small victories add up, shifting their mindset from “I can’t” to “I can”
G ．However, with proper strategies, it can be transformed into a powerful motivator

I didn’t start by falling in love with programming. I hated it, actually. During my tech
studies, I struggled. I couldn’t solve problems. The logic didn’t . I felt lost. So I : “This isn’t for me. I don’t have talent for this.”
If the story had ended there, I probably would have forever. But it didn’t, for a

assessments.
Slowly, I small competencies. I solved one problem, then another, then petence brought . And then — and only then — something happened: I
started wanting to solve technical problems. I’d see a challenge and think about how to it. I’d explore how systems worked. And now I’d even describe myself as a engineer — something I never would have said during my studies.
My story isn’t unique. It’s just evidence of a simple truth: You don’t need to start with . Start with pragmatism, build small and competencies; enjoyment will follow. Then, you’re not waiting for talent — you’ve actively built it.

The Mangrove Guardians
Along the coast of southern China, a quiet revolution has taken root. Local fishermen, once dependent on offshore fishing, have become 56 (protect) of the mangrove forests — ecosystems so vital that scientists call them the “coastal guardians.”
Mangroves, with their complex root systems, serve as natural barriers against storms and
rising sea levels. They also provide rich breeding grounds 57 fish and shellfish. Yet
for decades, these forests had been destroyed at 58 alarming rate to make way for fish farms and urban development.
In 2018, a conservation program 59 (launch) with an innovative approach: former fishermen would be trained as eco-tour guides and restoration workers. The idea was simple — if local communities could benefit _____60_____(economic) from protecting
mangroves, they would become their most devoted guardians.
Seven years on, the results are striking. With over 2,000 hectares of mangroves
61 (restore) across the region, fish populations have recovered. 62 was
once a source of conflict has become a model of cooperation. Villagers now earn stable incomes through eco-tourism, 63 (show) visitors the forests that they once
64 (seek) to clear.
“This is not just about trees,” says project leader Ms. Chen. “It’s about redefining our relationship with nature. We commit ourselves to protecting the mangroves, 65 they protect us in return.”

On warm September night, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, soft sea winds filled the air. The moon was full. Mira could feel the energy in the air. She loved everything about the
ocean, and this evening she had come down to the beach to enjoy the salty night air and hear the waves washing over the sand gently.
Mira closed her eyes and listened to the waves. The gentle rolling sound was calming.
Suddenly, Mira could hear another sound, too. She listened carefully. The sound was so soft that
she could barely hear it. She opened her eyes and looked down at the sand. It was moving! All of a
sudden, she could see a tiny head coming out. Then, she saw four tiny feet and a shell. A turtle had emerged!
Mira looked in amazement at the baby turtle. In the moonlight she could just make out the green and brown pattern on its shell. It was so small! She watched with wonder as other baby
turtles began to emerge. One by one they struggled out of their underground nests. Soon the beach was like a moving carpet of tiny turtles.
Mira knew the turtles should head towards the waves and swim away, so she was puzzled when they began to pull themselves in the opposite direction. Why would the turtles be going
away from the ocean
Suddenly, she remembered something she had heard from some people living here.
“Loggerhead sea turtles come back here every year in April. They bury their eggs on the beach and in the first week of September those baby turtles hatch and head back down to the sea. But some of them never make it. Sometimes they die going across the beach, trying to find those
bright lights in the houses. The lights confuse the sea turtles.”
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。
Mira looked across the beach at her house.

Upon arrival, she shouted, “The turtles are hatching! We have to help them!”
1 ．B
【原文】M: The weather is a little unusual for this time of the year. Don’t you think, Janet
W: That’s true, Timothy. But it’s supposed to get warmer later in the week. At least the wind has stopped.
2 ．B
【原文】M: So what do you fancy tonight, Amber I’m pretty starving.
W: Well, Max, we haven’t tried that new Korean place across from the City Library. So why don’t we check it out
M: Sounds perfect.
3 ．A
【原文】W: Excuse me, could you help me with the self-checkout
M: Of course, I’d be happy to help. Press the start button and scan your purchases. Then press the pay button. We accept cards and mobile payments.
4 ．C
【原文】M: Hello, Miss Carter. Thanks for meeting me here at the apartment.
W: Oh, I’m excited to take a closer look.
M: This is one of our most popular listings. It is well-maintained by the current owners, so you shouldn’t have to worry about major repairs anytime soon.
5 ．B
【原文】W: Have you seen the latest update on the school website The new plan looks great.
M: Yes, I like the idea of building a vegetable garden on the roof. It’s a very sustainable project.
6 ．B 7 ．B
【原文】W: How are you feeling about the volleyball next week Your team’s done brilliantly to get into the final!
M: Yeah. Everyone’s pretty convinced we’ll be bringing home the winners’ cup, so there’ll be loads more fans at the game than we’re used to.
W: So will there be any challenges
M: Well, the team we’re playing against is a bit of an unknown quantity. We don’t really know what they’re capable of. I mean, if they happen to be on top form, as they were earlier in the
tournament, we may struggle.
8 ．C 9 ．A 10 ．A
【原文】W: That new sleep tracker you recommended is fascinating... and slightly terrifying.
M: How so The data’s been eye-opening for me.
W: According to this, for 88% of the time, I don’t get into deep sleep.
M: What’s your sleep efficiency
W: 85% last night, but it ranges from 70% to 90%. Honestly, knowing this might be making my sleep problem worse.
M: Well, we monitor sleep to improve it, but the monitoring causes stress.
W: Exactly! Maybe ignorance makes it easier.
M: Try using it just weekly for sleep patterns, like your average sleep time.
11 ．C 12 ．C 13 ．B
【原文】W: Dr. Evans, I’m not sure ifI should insist on my kids doing chores. Does it really matter
M: Absolutely. A study published in Child Development found that children who regularly take on household responsibilities are more likely to be ambitious and independent adults.
W: That makes sense, but how do I get them to do chores without constant arguing
M: The key is to match tasks to the child’s age. For younger kids, start with small jobs — like having a 2-or 3-year-old put away toys. Around 10 or 11, they can handle changing bed sheets.
W: And how do I keep them motivated
M: Start by making chores fun, turning them into a game. Also, praise their effort — a star chart can work well. But most importantly, and this is often overlooked, be the example you want your children to follow.
14 ．C 15 ．C 16 ．B 17 ．A
【原文】W: At the age of 17, Eli Zied, the senior high school student from New York City, is also the CEO of the up-and-coming fashion brand Habits 365. Eli, how do you balance your academic life with your business goals
M: As a student, getting good grades is still my main priority.
W: What were some of the first things you did to start your business in the very beginning
M: I started out creating designs and making logos, and then my older brother Spencer came to help me with the business. We got the ball rolling by selling to our classmates, relatives, and the
like.
W: What was the biggest challenge along the way
M: I’d say the biggest issue was the risk of buying large quantities of materials to be more
cost-efficient. We had to be confident that people would like and buy our products, so we ran online surveys among our early followers to get a better sense of what they wanted.
W: You’ve gained lots of publicity through celebrities and influencers, ranging from NBA athletes to singers. How did you go about creating such a wide base
M: I basically contacted many athletes, musicians, and others with strong online influence. Having influencers wear our products has been one of the biggest drivers of growth. Now, we have over
80,000 followers!

W: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining our online session. Today, we will be
discussing time management strategies. Our speaker, Dr. Susan Martin, is a renowned expert in time management. She has written several bestselling books on the topic, including The Focused Mind, which shows readers how to master their attention, and Time for What Matters, a practical guide to priority-based living. Both works have been translated into multiple languages and are reaching a global readership.
The presentation will last for about 45 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session.
During the talk, Dr. Martin will cover key strategies, including setting clear goals, prioritizing
tasks, and using time blocking techniques. These methods are designed to increase efficiency and create space for meaningful activities, and, above all, to reduce stress — a benefit that many find both fresh and valuable.
To make the most of this session, please type your questions into the chat box throughout the presentation. I will select some of the most representative questions, and Dr. Martin will
address them after her talk. Thank you again for being here — let’s begin.

Everything felt so beautiful, even the clamor (喧闹) inside the carriage carried a warmth.(随着火车向北行驶，窗外的景色逐渐由南方的温婉妩媚变成了北方的广阔开阔。一切都是那么美好，就连车厢里的喧闹声也带着一种温暖)”可知，作者描写她童年的火车之旅是为了突出火车之旅的美丽和温暖。故选 D。
25 ．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“that direct train quietly closed down. The rails rusted into
dotted lines in memory, and my hometown became a faint shadow on a photographic negative(那 列直达列车悄悄停运了。铁轨在记忆中锈迹斑斑，我的家乡成了底片上模糊的影子)”可知，在文章的上下文中作者开始上小学后，那列直达列车悄然停运了。铁轨在记忆中锈蚀成了点点痕迹，说明回故乡的旅行变得稀少、罕见，sparse 的意思是“稀少” ，和 rare 意思相近。故选 A。
26 ．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Yet, the journey no longer held the leisurely comfort of childhood it became a long, exhausting journey. We rushed to the airport before daybreak,
weighed down by luggage check-ins. The cramped cabin and turbulent air currents added
discomfort, while navigating the maze-like airport and enduring hours of road travel left us arriving under completely dark skies. There was no time to admire the scenery, let alone the
endless sea of clouds outside the airplane window.(然而，这段旅程不再有童年的悠闲舒适，它变成了一段漫长而疲惫的旅程。我们在黎明前赶到机场，行李托运工作压得我们喘不过气来。狭窄的机舱和汹涌的气流增加了我们的不适，而在迷宫般的机场穿行和长时间的公路旅行让我们在完全黑暗的天空下到达。没有时间欣赏风景，更不用说飞机窗外无尽的云海了)”可知，作者将现代航空旅行描述为“漫长而疲惫的跋涉” ，有“狭窄的客舱”和“颠簸的气流”。她还提到没有时间欣赏风景，这表明与童年时更悠闲、风景更美的火车旅行相比，她有一种不满意的感觉。故选 C。
27 ．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Holding my hands, my grandparents boarded a
green-skinned train in Hangzhou, which rocked and swayed for twenty-five hours straight to
Ulanqab (乌兰察布市), Inner Mongolia. This is my childhood memory of returning home.(我的祖父母牵着我的手，在杭州登上了一列绿皮火车，火车摇晃了 25 个小时，直达内蒙古乌兰察布。这是我童年回家的记忆)”和倒数第二段“This year, upon hearing that the long-suspended train had resumed operation, an indescribable excitement welled up in my heart. A month ago, I
finally boarded this long-missed train again. As night fell, the train slowly set off. The familiar
voices in the carriage, mingling with the rhythmic clatter of wheels against tracks, blended into a
nostalgic lullaby (怀旧的摇篮曲). Lying on the bunk, I felt the gentle sway of the train, as though cradled in the arms of Mother Earth...Years have blurred the details of my memory, and I have
sketched it one by one with my imagination.(今年，当我听到停运已久的火车恢复运行的消息时，一种说不出的兴奋涌上心头。一个月前，我终于再次登上了这趟久违的列车。夜幕降临，火车慢慢地开动了。车厢里熟悉的声音，加上车轮有节奏地撞击轨道的声音，混成了一首怀旧的摇篮曲。躺在铺位上，我感觉到火车的轻柔摇晃，仿佛被大地母亲抱在怀里 岁月模糊了我记忆中的细节，我用想象把它一一勾勒出来)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者通过停运后又恢复的火车路线回到家乡的怀旧之旅。它突出了与过去的情感联系，以及火车之旅在她记忆中的重要性，因此最恰当的题目是 B 选项“Old tracks Back Home(家乡的旧轨道)” 。故选 B。

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍关于虚假评论的一项研究，包括研究设计、结果发现以及 AI 生成虚假评论带来的识别难题等内容。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study used a data set of 1,600 reviews of Chicago hotels. Some of them were real; others were fake. The reviews were presented to 400 subjects. Each
subject got eight reviews to read: a balanced set of two positive fake, two positive real, two
negative fake and two negative real, presented in a random order. The reviews were written by
real people who were given information about the hotel.(该研究使用了芝加哥酒店的 1600 条评论作为数据集，其中一些是真实的，另一些是虚假的。这些评论被呈现给 400 名受试者，每位受试者要阅读 8 条评论：两组均衡的评论，包括 2 条虚假好评、2 条真实好评、2 条虚假差评和 2 条真实差评，以随机顺序呈现。这些评论由获得酒店相关信息的真实人员撰写。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了这项研究的数据集、受试者以及评论呈现方式等，即研究的设计情况。B 项“它的发现” 、C 项“它的目的” 、D 项“它的意义”均未在第二段体现，故选 A 项。
29．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“A lengthy, positive review, on the other hand, was regarded as suspicious, and participants tended to trust writers that kept their glowing reviews short.(另一方面，冗长的好评被认为是可疑的，受试者往往更信任那些保持 glowing 评论简短的作者。)”可知，此处“glowing reviews”与前文“positive review（好评）”构成同义指代，由此猜测 glowing 意 为“赞美的、表扬的” 。A 项“有趣的” 、B 项“辱骂的” 、C 项“有洞察力的”均不符合语境，故 选 D 项。
30 ．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A long, negative review of a hotel, complete with lots of
information, tended to convince participants.(一条包含大量信息的冗长酒店差评，往往更能让受试者信服。)”和“The more dispassionate that negative write-up, the more likely it was to take the reader in.(负面评论越冷静客观，就越有可能让读者相信。)”可知，读者最有可能相信的是冷静客观、不带强烈情绪的差评。A 项“冗长的好评”与“冗长的好评被认为可疑”相悖；C项“简短的差评”与“冗长的差评更有说服力”不符；D 项“热情洋溢的好评”与“情绪强烈的评论不被信任”相悖，故选 B 项。
31 ．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The fake reviews written for Azimi’s study were put
together by humans, but increasingly, fake reviews are being written by AI, which makes them
look more real. Though many companies use algorithms (算法) to weed out fake reviews, Azimi points out that the machines are programmed by humans, and given our limited ability to spot fake reviews, this isn’t a good sign.(为阿齐米的研究撰写的虚假评论是由人类编写的，但如今越来越多的虚假评论由人工智能生成，这使得它们看起来更真实。尽管许多公司使用算法来清除虚假评论，但阿齐米指出，这些机器是由人类编程的，而考虑到我们识别虚假评论的能力有限，这并不是一个好迹象。)”可推断，随着 AI 生成的虚假评论越来越逼真，未来识别虚假评论将会变得更加困难。A 项“许多公司在生成虚假评论”文中未提及；B 项“撰写虚假评论
将被宣布为非法”文中未提及；C 项“机器能准确检测虚假评论”与“算法由人类编程，识别能力有限”相悖，故选 D 项。
32 ．B 33 ．D 34 ．C 35 ．C
文章主要讨论了追求完美对幸福的阻碍，并提出了接纳不完美的重要性。
32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many of us are driven by the unconscious wish that if we could just have the perfect body, the perfect job and the perfect family, then we would be happy. For
that reason, it can be one of the most significant barriers to happiness in life. (我们许多人都被一种无意识的愿望所驱使，认为只要我们拥有完美的身材、完美的工作和完美的家庭，我们就会幸福。正因如此，它可能成为生活中获得幸福的最重要的障碍之一)”可推知，作者会赞同“追求完美阻碍了人们获得幸福”这一说法。
33 ．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott wrote about the
importance of the “good enough mother” who meets her baby’s needs timely, but is not perfect.
He said perfect is harmful. To meet every desire immediately, to pass the toy straight away
whenever it is demanded slows down a baby’s growth, robbing them of the opportunity to feel
frustrated and learn to crawl to get the toy for themselves. (精神分析学家 Donald Winnicott 曾论述“足够好的母亲” 的重要性——这类母亲能适时满足婴儿的需求，但并非完美。他认为完美是有害的。立刻满足每一个欲望、每次被索要就马上递上玩具，反而会减缓婴儿的成长，剥夺了他们感受挫折并学会自己爬过去拿到玩具的机会)”可知，“足够好的母亲” 的例子告诉我们立即回应会影响婴儿的成长。
34．推理判断题。根据第五段中“How can you be a good partner if you expect everyone else to fit your own narrow expectations How can your child grow if they sense that they always need to
color precisely inside the lines you’ve drawn out for them (如果你期望其他每个人都符合你狭隘的期望，你怎么能成为一个好伴侣 如果孩子感觉到他们总是需要精确地在你为他们画好的线内涂色，他们又怎么能成长呢 )”可知，这两个问题旨在引导读者思考完美主义对人际关系和育儿的影响，从而促使读者反思。
35．推理判断题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“We need to learn to appreciate their humanity and beauty…So for a more delicious life, and ultimately a better one, I choose imperfectionism. (我们需要学会欣赏它们的人性和美丽。 所以，为了更有滋味的生活，归根结底也是为了更美好的人生，我选择不完美主义。)”可推知，作者主张接纳不完美，即“差不多就好”。
36 ．G 37 ．D 38 ．E 39 ．C 40 ．F
文章介绍了学习挫败感的定义，并提供了帮助学生克服学习障碍的几种策略。
36 ．上文“Learning frustration refers to the emotional response students have when they are faced with tough academic tasks, often leading to stress, avoidance, or negative self-talk.(学习挫败感指的是学生在面对艰巨学业任务时的情绪反应，常常导致压力、逃避或消极的自我对话)”给出了学习挫败感的定义及其负面影响，G 选项“However, with proper strategies, it can be
transformed into a powerful motivator (然而，通过合适的策略，它可以转化为强大的动力)”与上文构成转折关系，指出这种负面情绪可以通过策略转化为积极动力，其中“it”指代上文的“Learning frustration” ；下文“Let’s explore how to help students push past learning barriers and come out stronger.(让我们探讨如何帮助学生突破学习障碍，变得更强大)”中的“explore how”与 G 选项中的“with proper strategies”相呼应，共同引出下文的具体策略。
37．上文“The first step in overcoming frustration is acknowledging that struggle is normal — and valuable. (克服挫败感的第一步是承认困难是正常的——也是有价值的)”指出要承认困难的正常性和价值，D 选项“Learning isn’t supposed to be effortless or smooth (学习本就不该是毫不费力或一帆风顺的)”承接上文，进一步阐释为什么困难是“正常的”——因为学习本身就不是轻松的过程，其中“effortless or smooth”与上文中“normal”形成解释关系；下文“In fact,
encountering obstacles is often when the deepest learning happens.(事实上，遇到障碍往往是最深刻的学习发生的时候)”进一步说明困难的价值，与 D 选项共同构成对“struggle is valuable”的论证，上下文语意连贯。
38．上文“Overwhelming assignments can feel like unconquerable mountains.(铺天盖地的作业可能会让人觉得是无法征服的大山)”运用比喻描述了学生面对繁重任务时的无力感，E 选项
“Help students learn to cope with one piece at a time (帮助学生学会一次处理一部分)”承接上文，给出了解决这种无力感的具体方法——将大任务分解为小部分逐一应对；下文“For example, instead of tackling an entire essay at once, start with brainstorming ideas or outlining a single
paragraph.(例如，不要试图一次性完成整篇文章，而是从头脑风暴构思或为单个段落列提纲开始)”通过具体例子说明了“one piece at a time” 的操作方式，上下文语意连贯。
39 ．设空处为段落小标题，需概括本段内容。下文“When students hit a barrier, they may often get stuck on the idea of having to get it “right.” But learning is about experimenting, making
mistakes, and adjusting. Encourage students to try different approaches and celebrate effort, even
when the answer isn’t perfect.(当学生遇到障碍时，他们常常纠结于必须把事情做“对” 的想法。但学习是关于尝试、犯错和调整的。鼓励学生尝试不同的方法，并庆祝他们的努力，即使答
案并不完美)”指出学生过度追求“正确”而忽视探索过程的问题，并建议鼓励尝试和努力而非追求完美。C 选项“Encourage problem-solving, not perfection (鼓励解决问题，而不是追求完美)”准确概括了本段的核心观点，符合小标题格式。
40 ．上文“By setting achievable goals, students can experience frequent “wins” that remind them of their capabilities.(通过设定可实现的目标，学生可以频繁体验“胜利”，这能提醒他们自己的能力)”指出获得小胜利对建立自信的作用，F 选项“These small victories add up, shifting their mindset from “I can’t” to “I can” (这些小胜利会累积起来，将他们的心态从“我做不到”转变为“我能行”)”承接上文，进一步说明这些小胜利的累积效应，其中“These small victories”指代上文中“frequent “wins””，上下文逻辑一致。

这篇文章主要介绍了中国南部沿海渔民从依赖近海捕鱼、破坏红树林， 转型为生态守护者，2018 年的保护项目成效显著，实现了人与自然的互利共生。
56．考查名词复数形式。句意： 曾经依赖近海捕捞为生的当地渔民，如今已成为红树林的守护者——这些生态系统极为重要，以至于科学家们称其为“海岸守护者”。主语 fishermen 是复数，此处体现身份的转变 —— 从依赖近海捕鱼的渔民，变成了红树林的保护者，与后文的 guardians（守护者）形成呼应，所以此处为复数名词 protectors。
57．考查固定短语。句意： 它们还为鱼类和贝类提供了丰富的繁殖场所。分析句子可知， 此处为固定搭配 provide sth for sb/sth，意为“为 提供某物”，此处指红树林为鱼类和贝类提供了丰富的繁殖地。
58．考查冠词。句意： 然而，几十年来，这些森林一直在以惊人的速度遭到破坏，以腾出空
间用于养鱼场和城市开发。此处为固定搭配 at a/an...rate ，意为“ 以 的速度” ；alarming以元音音素开头，填不定冠词 an。
59 ．考查动词时态和语态。句意：2018 年，一项创新的保护计划启动了：曾经的渔民将接受培训，成为生态导游和恢复工作者。时间状语 In 2018 提示用一般过去时；主语 a
conservation program（保护项目）和 launch（启动）是被动关系，用一般过去时的被动语态，所以为 was launched 的填入。
60．考查副词。句意：这个想法很简单——如果当地社区能够从保护红树林的经济活动中获益，他们就会成为这些森林最忠实的守护者。此处修饰动词 benefit，需要用副词；economic是形容词，副词形式为 economically ，意为“经济上”。
61 ．考查 with 复合结构。句意：该地区恢复了超过 2000 公顷的红树林，鱼类数量也有所回升。分析句子可知，此处为 with 复合结构：with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语；宾语 mangroves （红树林）和 restore（修复）是被动关系，且动作已完成，用过去分词作宾补。
62 ．考查主语从句。句意：曾经引发冲突的状况如今已转变为合作的典范。分析句子可知，空格处引导主语从句，且在从句中作主语，指代“ 曾经是冲突源头的事物”，用连接代词 What引导，句首首字母大写。
63．考查非谓语动词。句意：村民们现在通过生态旅游获得稳定的收入，向游客展示他们曾经试图砍伐的森林。分析句子可知，句子已有谓语动词 earn，此处用非谓语；主语 Villagers和 show 是主动关系，用现在分词作伴随状语，填 showing。
64．考查动词时态。句意：村民们现在通过生态旅游获得稳定的收入，向游客展示他们曾经试图砍伐的森林。once 意为“ 曾经” ，描述过去的动作，用一般过去时；seek 的过去式为不规则变化 sought。
65．考查连词。句意：我们承诺保护红树林，而红树林也会反过来保护我们。根据句意可知，前后两个分句是顺承并列关系：“我们致力于保护红树林，而它们反过来也会保护我们”，所以为连词 and 的填入。
66 ．例文

67 ．A possible version
Mira looked across the beach at her house. What came into her sight was her mother, sitting on the porch rocking her baby sister. Accompanying her was his father drinking lemonade. Mira
could see them clearly because her house had two bright lights that lit up the front yard of the
house. Suddenly it clicked. Mira shouted to them at the top of her voice, “Turn off the lights
please!” But they failed to hear, so she began to run. She raced to her house with only one thought “Turn off the lights”. She tripped and fell, but without delay she picked herself up and continued running until she reached the house.
Upon arrival, she shouted, “The turtles are hatching! We have to help them!” With that,
Mira dashed into the house and turned off the bright porch lights. Her parents were a little bit
confused. However, after Mira explained what had happened, they jumped into action as well.
They hurriedly rushed to their neighbors and asked them to turn off their lights. Meanwhile, Mira was off running towards the sea again. She reached the beach just in time to see the tiny turtles slipping silently into the waves. As the last turtle swam away, it seemed to have looked back at Mira. In the moonlight, Mira thought she saw it smile. Now Mira could picture all the small turtles swimming happily in the ocean.
