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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
Paragliding is a kind of flying, but instead of the wing being made of metal, wood or plastic, it is made of nylon. And the wing is attached to a harness (吊带) by lines, where a pilot sits. Paragliding is as safe as sailing. The big advantage is that it s probably the slowest form of flying, so if you do crash, you ll hit the ground quite gently! It s also a very relaxing sport as you re mostly sitting down.
Where do I learn
There are lots of schools, mainly based inland by appropriate hills or mountains, and there are also schools on the coast near striking rocks. These are very attractive, though the prospect of touching down in the sea seems to discourage beginners! It takes seven days to get your basic license; then you re free to fly independently at sites across the country.
What do I need
Pilots normally wear warm clothes in case they get very high up, and a helmet (头盔) in case they fall when landing. Schools generally supply basic training equipment; however, you ll probably prefer to purchase your own, more advanced equipment.
Who can do it
There s no upper age limit provided your instructor judges you capable, but the youngest is 14. Anybody with good eyesight and good balance is a potential paraglider pilot.
Flying a paraglider is a great sport. We hope to see you in the air with us this season!
21.What can we learn about paragliding according to the passage
A. It is safe and relaxing. B. It is fast and challenging.
C. It is exciting but risky. D. It is attractive but expensive.
22.What may stop new learners from choosing coastal flying schools
A. Uncertainty of weather. B. Risk of sea landing.
C. Pressure of training schedules. D. Restriction on independent flying.
23.Who are the intended readers of the passage
A. Paragliding suppliers. B. Paragliding athletes.
C. Paragliding instructors. D. Paragliding beginners.
B
In a small workshop tucked away in the hills of The Gambia, 72-year-old Amadou Sillah runs his fingers along the strings of a half-finished kora(科拉琴). His hands move with the confidence of decades, but his eyes carry a quiet sadness. He is one of the last master craftsmen of this traditional West African instrument, and he fears his art may die with him.
For centuries, the kora has been the heart of West African storytelling. Its 21 strings, stretched across a large gourd, produce a sound that blends the complexity of a harp with the rhythm of a lute. Learning to build one traditionally took seven years, passed from father to son. “The kora is not just wood and strings,” Sillah explains, wiping dust from his workbench. “It is memory. It is history.”
Yet globalization and shifting tastes have pushed the instrument to the edge. Many young Gambians now prefer imported electronic keyboards or western pop music. Worse still, the shortage of halep—the sacred tree whose wood produces the best resonance—has made authentic koras increasingly difficult to craft.
But a new initiative may offer a lifeline. Last year, a British ethnomusicologist launched the “Kora Digital Project”, working with Sillah to create 3D-printed models based on his designs. These replicas, made from sustainable materials, are being distributed to schools across West Africa. More importantly, the project is recording Sillah s techniques and oral history in high-definition video, creating a digital archive for future generations.
“I never thought I d see a kora made by a machine,” Sillah chuckles. “But if it means the music lives on, then perhaps this old dog can learn new tricks.” He picks up the replica, plucks a string, and listens. The note rings true.
24.Why is Sillah concerned that the art of making koras may die with him
A. He is too ill to make koras any longer.
B. No halep trees are left in the world.
C. Young people dislike the sound of the kora.
D. Few learn the craft and materials are rare.
25.What does the underlined word “replicas” probably mean
A. Copies. B. Antiques. C. Gifts. D. Exhibits.
26.What does the “Kora Digital Project” mainly do
A. Sell koras to Western musicians.
B. Train young people to build koras.
C. Preserve the craft with modern technology.
D. Replace traditional koras with plastic ones.
27.What is Sillah s attitude toward the project
A. Doubtful and critical. B. Surprised but supportive.
C. Uninterested and careless. D. Disappointed but tolerant.
C
In the digital era, where social media floods with ceaseless sharing, 26-year-old illustrator Lina from Hangzhou stands as a striking example. She regularly posts artworks and travel snapshots on Instagram but seldom replies to comments or engages in private conversations. “I love sharing fragments (碎片) of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally exhausting”, she admits. Lina s attitude represents a growing trend among today s youth: light socializing, a pattern that prioritizes self-expression over intensive emotional bonds in the virtual world.
Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once a hub(中心) for developing relationships, has changed into a “self-showcase” platform for the younger generation. Instead of seeking active interactions, they share content like scenic photos or daily routines, with little expectation of feedback. Actions such as casually unfollowing, blocking strangers or using 24-hour disappearing posts show their wish to avoid burdensome “emotional labor” from shallow virtual ties. This shift comes from their desire to escape overwhelming pressure from empty digital interactions.
While critics dismiss light socializing as a sign of “emotional coldness”, it actually reflects a thoughtful adaptation. Psychologist Lu Chen argues that by embracing this approach, young people regain control over their online space—sharing freely without the anxiety of meeting others expectations. Even social platforms have evolved to meet this need: many now offer “silent modes”, such as hidden interaction records and one-way posting features, acknowledging the widespread acceptance of light socializing.
In a world tightly bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between self-expression and privacy protection. It is not a refusal of social bonds but a wise pursuit of healthier, more autonomous online engagement. This trend shows the younger generation s maturity in safeguarding their mental well-being, representing a forward-looking and thoughtful approach to modern social interactions.
28.What does Lina do on social media
A. She illustrates her artworks. B. She shares her trips and comments.
C. She posts but skips deep chats. D. She focuses on building deep bonds.
29.According to Min Li, what has social media become for young people now
A. A tool to seek virtual ties. B. A platform for personal display.
C. A space to reduce pressure. D. A center for deep relationships.
30.Why does the author mention “silent modes” in paragraph 3
A. To prove platforms ignore youth needs.
B. To criticize the design of social media.
C. To suggest users limit their screen time.
D. To show the new practice gains recognition.
31.What does the author imply about the younger generation s social approach
A. They are actively seeking mental health.
B. They are sensitive to others feelings.
C. They prefer traditional social relationships.
D. They lack the maturity to interact online.
D
If you feel deeply stirred by the late-night dinner represented in the painting Nighthawks but unmoved passing by a real-world diner, it may be because of what s happening inside your body. New research published in Cognition and Emotion suggests that bodily sensations(感受) aren t just a by-product of art s emotional impact but a key pathway for experiencing something as “art” in the first place.
In a study involving 1,186 participants and 336 visual art pieces, researchers found that the strength of emotional experience activated by an artwork correlated with the strength of bodily sensations reported while viewing it. Emotions were measured using subjective reports, and viewers separately marked on a virtual human figure where and how they felt physical sensations. Eye tracking and participant surveys, meanwhile, assessed viewers interest in the paintings and whether they considered them to be art.
The research revealed a correlation between the intensity of bodily sensations, the strength of emotional experience, and the evaluation of a piece as art. The most significant sensations occurred not when participants evaluated technical skills or admired natural objects like trees or stars, but when they reported feeling “empathy” and cited “moving” emotional experiences. The researchers also found the strength of both bodily sensations and emotions was highest for artworks featuring people, which is consistent with the theory that seeing others actions may trigger sensorimotor(感觉运动感的) mirroring effects.
Negative emotions were unusual, but reports of “sadness” were also linked to “moving” experiences—and to a participant categorizing a work as art. “Even the thrills from a haunted house(鬼屋) are ultimately experienced as positive. As we experience hearts racing we know we are safe,” says study lead author Lauri Nummenmaa, a researcher at the University of Turku in Finland. “Art likely uses similar mechanisms for making us feel good. It activates our autonomic nervous system, and in the peace and quiet of an art gallery this increased bodily activity that feels good to us.”
Overall, the study indicates that art perception involves awareness of the body s internal state. Art may “get under our skin” to shift perception.
32.How did the researchers measure the participants strength of bodily sensations
A. By reading their personal reports. B. By analyzing the marks they made.
C. By tracking their eye movements. D. By observing their physical actions.
33.What caused the strongest bodily sensations in participants according to the research
A. Natural elements. B. Emotional crisis.
C. Human related works. D. Painting techniques.
34.Why does the author mention “a haunted house” in paragraph 4
A. To describe a scene. B. To make a contrast.
C. To introduce a new study. D. To provide an explanation.
35.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Hidden link Between Body and Mind
B. The Emotional Impact of Visual Art Pieces
C. The Physical Roots of Artistic Appreciation
D. The Secret Language of Human Art Gallery

Learning to say "yes, and"
When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. (36) So it seemed like a perfect chance to learn how to speak with others effectively. I signed up.
During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: "yes, and." It means that, as improvisers, we'd better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. (37) We say "yes" and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.
The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn't grow out of the information I'd presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the "yes, and" approach. (38) That helped me find an appropriate answer.
(39) Before attending the class, I would feel stuck whenever my experiments generated unexpected results and assume I had made a mistake. But now, instead of feeling discouraged, I view them as potential discoveries. This mindset led me to identify a new cell type that doesn't behave as expected.
I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it's worth investigating whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. (40) It is to say "yes, and."— to embrace the curiosity that gives birth to meaningful inquiry.
A. We do not question the logic.
B. They are not supposed to be librarians.
C. Scientific research requires great patience.
D. As scientists, our job isn't to disregard surprising results.
E. The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication.
F. I accepted the question and let my mind focus on why it was asked.
G. However, I wanted to work as a science communicator after graduation.

The owner of Jiamo Lab, who insists on preserving traditional flavors, says he hopes his restaurant will (63) (true) become a part of local life. “Authentic Chinese cuisine offers a stage (64) cultural exchanges are taking place, proving it is far more than just food.

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。
Life in Red Lodge, a quiet small town, usually moved at a gentle pace. Neighbors greeted each other in passing, shared simple routines, and looked out for one another in quiet ways. Over time, a sense of connection naturally grew among the people, holding the community together.
That sense of calm was broken at 3 a.m. on an unseasonably warm June night, when the flood struck without warning. The sound of rocks crashing echoed through the darkness, sharp and sudden. Susan Roberts, who had recently moved there, woke from an uneasy sleep. For a moment, she lay still, unsure of what she had heard. Then she noticed lights on in her neighbors houses near Rock Creek, the river running along the edge of the town. Something was clearly wrong.
Her next-door neighbor, a police officer, was evacuating(疏散) with his four children and urged Roberts to do the same. Realizing the danger, Susan quickly put her dogs into the car and drove it to a narrow street behind her home, slightly higher up. Meanwhile, her husband went from house to house, knocking on doors and calling out to wake others. It was still dark, and many people were fast asleep, unaware of the rising water. Soon, more neighbors joined in, moving quickly through the streets and shouting warnings, "Wake up and you have to get out."
The couple stayed in their car and on the few feet of dry land surrounding it for the entire next day, watching helplessly as their home was destroyed. Cars floated away. Trees were swept down the streets. Roads were badly damaged. Mud and debris covered everything. "The town looked like a riverbed," Roberts later recalled. "The whole community was wandering around, trying to understand what had happened."
The day after the flood, people began to gather, unsure of where to start but eager to help. Neighbors, friends, and even strangers stood together, looking at the damage and speaking in low voices.

Hello, everyone! It's my honor to share our green creation for plastic bottles. This is a functional vase made from a recycled plastic bottle.
The inspiration for this project originated from the countless plastic bottles littered across campus every day.① Not only do they spoil the beauty of our surroundings but also pose a long-term threat to the environment. Our group sought to address this by transforming them into useful decorative objects.
The eco-friendly vase has a simple elegant shape. We cut the bottle's upper part at an angle, polished the edge, and decorated it with stickers or paint.②What once seemed useless has been transformed into a practical vase. With flowers inside, it adds a touch of nature to our classrooms.
It's not a complicated creation, but it carries our love for life and the earth. Let's start small and create a greener world with our own hands.
续写范文:
Soon, people across the town began working together to clean up the mess. Without being told what to do, they quickly formed small groups and set to work. Some cleared mud from the streets, while others helped carry damaged furniture out of houses. Volunteers moved from door to door, checking who needed help most. Roberts watched as neighbors and strangers worked side by side, passing buckets, sharing tools, and offering words of comfort. Even those who had lost much were helping others. Though the work was exhausting, no one seemed willing to stop. In the middle of the chaos, a quiet sense of order began to return.
More than a year later, Red Lodge began to take on a new look. Homes were rebuilt, roads repaired, and the marks of the flood gradually faded. Yet what impressed Roberts most was not the physical change, but the town's collective efforts. The disaster had brought them closer, turning basic greeting into lasting friendship. It became common to see neighbors stopping to talk, offering help, or simply sharing a moment together. Looking back, Roberts realized that while the flood had taken much away, it had also given the town something unexpected—a stronger, deeper connection. And in that renewed sense of unity, Red Lodge found not just recovery, but a new beginning.
