第一部分　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
Which book you should read based on your next travel destination
Haruki Murakami’s “1Q84” is a dystopian adventure that’s perfect for the plane ride to Japan.
Famed Japanese author Haruki Murakami creates an alternate 1984 called 1Q84 where nothing feels right and everything is slightly different. Set in Tokyo, Japan, this dystopian, mystery-filled fantasy novel is sure to keep your captivated during your trip.
Bring “One Hundred Years of Solitude” to read in South America.
A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his lush descriptions makes the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America.
Consider picking up “The Great Gatsby” if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York.
Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas (半岛) on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by the Hamptons when crafting this book. Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence, hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons.
As you’re travelling around Amsterdam, read “The Fault in Our Stars”.
Previously adapted into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of star-crossed teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book. Plus, the bench from the film adaptation of this novel has ever become its own tourist spot.
1. If you are into parallel existence and you are full of imagination, which book would you like to pick up
A. The Fault in Our Stars. B. One Hundred Years of Solitude.
C. 1Q84. D. The Great Gatsby.
2. Which one of the followings is NOT true
A. Generations of the Buentia family live in their South-American town.
B. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a book mainly about sights of South America.
C. “West Egg” and “East Egg” are both place names.
D. The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
3. An excerpt from the book: One might marvel at the insanity (疯狂) of the situation: A mother sends her16-year-old daughter alone with a 17-year old boy out into a foreign city.
According to the introduction mentioned above, which city is probably this foreign city
A. Tokyo. B. New York. C. Amsterdam. D. Sao Paulo.
B
Human interaction reflects human nature. It includes both moral and immoral acts. It also includes acts that seem moral but are in fact immoral, and those that seem immoral but are in fact moral. To depict (刻画) human life truthfully, literary writers should try to capture this complexity without relying on an over-simplified moral yardstick (标准).
Morality is short on drama, a key ingredient of literature. Drama often relies on the role of a villain (恶人), and its absence would be keenly felt in a story populated only by good guys. In the old days, the standard recipe for a dramatic effect called for the help of either supernatural beings or a female character, whereas modern plays are spiced up by the presence of a villain.
We often use the numerical term “hundreds” when talking about good deeds, but use “tens of thousands” to highlight the large number of evils. This peculiar (奇怪的) language feature reflects a relative similarity between good deeds and an abundant variety of evils. Making a donation to the Red Cross isn’t a technically challenging feat (壮举). It’s pretty dull to see how a donation is made, but it can be fascinating to follow the twists and turns in a bribery (贿赂) scheme. Which story, then, do you like to hear
Writers often experiment with what’s considered immoral when they try to be innovative. For example, a time-honored ethical rule calls for mutual understanding between husband and wife. Many stories are based on this rule. One way to go against convention is to run counter to it. Thus, a new story goes as follows. A man hosted a banquet at home celebrating his 20th wedding anniversary. But the host went missing during the wining and dining. His guests looked for him everywhere and finally found him on a stone bench in his backyard, his tie gone, his chest bared, an empty wine bottle in his hand. His friends asked him what was wrong. He said, “Three months after I got married, I realized I could not get along with her, but she refused to end our marriage. I wanted to kill her, but my lawyer said I’d be put behind bars for twenty years if I did that. Twenty years would be too long, I thought. I had no choice but to put up with the pain of this marriage. Now twenty years is gone. If I had done it back then, I would have been freed today. I regret not doing it.” This is obviously an immoral tale. But the temptation to write a story like this is too strong to resist.
To add drama to a story, we often have to fall back on bad guys. But they may well steal the show. A movement toward a story’s climax may push immorality to a new level. By contrast, morality’s reach is more limited.
4. According to paragraph 2, whose presence does NOT contribute to a dramatic effect
A. A villain’s. B. Good guys’.
C. A female character’s. D. Supernatural beings’.
5. What’s the purpose of mentioning the story about a man in paragraph 4
A. To remind us that the man in the story is indeed a bad guy.
B. To emphasize that mutual understanding between husband and wife matters.
C. To prove writing about what’s considered immoral can add drama to a story.
D. To indicate that moral deeds and actions are essential themes for story writers.
6. What does the underlined words “steal the show” mean in paragraph 5
A. Reveal the shocking ending. B. Take away the profits.
C. Become the focus of attention. D. Explain the whole show.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Literature and morality. B. Good deeds and evils.
C. Innovation of literature. D. Limits of human nature.
C
We already know how watching other people’s lives on social media can negatively affect our self-esteem (自尊) and satisfaction with our own lives. Apparently, using apps to track your own calories or fitness activities can have a similar effect. New research from scientists at University College London (UCL) suggests that fitness apps can actually become major demotivators.
The researchers analyzed nearly 60,000 posts on the X platform. This data is particularly valuable because unlike traditional surveys, people tend to share honest, unfiltered (直白真实的) opinions online. The posts included feedback on popular apps, such as MyFitnessPal. Around 13,000 posts contained negative keywords the researchers tracked — and over half mentioned the calorie-counting app MyFitnessPal.
At first glance, MyFitnessPal seems to offer everything you need to stay on top of your fitness and diet. It allows users to track calorie intake, monitor proteins, and set personalized goals. You can simply import recipes or scan bar codes from food packages — the app will do the rest offering you guidance on what and when to eat. It sounds like working with a personal dietitian.
However, many people are not necessarily that gratified by it. Senior author Dr. Paulina Bondaronek explained, “In these posts, we found a lot of blame and shame, with people feeling they were not doing as well as they should be. These emotional effects may end up harming people’s motivation and health.”
MyFitnessPal is also pretty easy to “fool”, since it’s up to users whether to log or skip a meal. This creates a false sense that if something isn’t recorded in the app, it “didn’t happen”. Many admitted cheating (e.g., not recording a post-dinner cup of ice cream) to feel better, but this only led to more guilt. In some cases, people quit the app and their healthy habits altogether.
It’s important to note the study only analyzed negative posts, so there’s no scientifically proven data on fitness apps’ benefits. However, their drawbacks are hard to ignore. This is a clear wake-up call for developers to consider their products’ unintended consequences.
8. What do we know about MyFitnessPal
A. It tracks health through exercise data.
B. It provides personalized dietitian services.
C. It automatically records every meal intake.
D. It may cause the discontinuation of healthy practices.
9. What do the underlined words “gratified by” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Puzzled about. B. Satisfied with.
C. Astonished at. D. Concerned about.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards fitness apps
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Convinced. D. Indifferent.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Fitness Apps: Unexpected Harms
B. Fitness Apps: A Double-edged Sword
C. Social Media: A Threat to Self-esteem and Health
D. MyFitnessPal: A Convenient Tool for Diet Control
D
In the pre-digital era, forgetting was the default. To preserve a memory, one had to take a photograph, write in a diary, or consciously commit an event to mind. Today, the situation is reversed: remembering is the default. Every digital footprint — from social media posts to location data — is stored indefinitely in the vast “cloud.” While this total recall offers convenience, it also threatens a fundamental human capacity: the ability to move on from our past.
Viktor Mayer-Sch nberger, in his book Delete, argues that human forgetting serves a critical biological and social purpose. It allows us to filter out irrelevant information and, more importantly, to evolve beyond our past mistakes. When our every youthful error is preserved forever in a searchable digital record, we risk being “frozen” in time, judged by who we were rather than who we have become. This “digital permanence” can discourage individuals from taking risks or expressing unconventional ideas for fear of future repercussions.
Furthermore, the constant presence of our past can distort our present. Psychological research suggests that the act of outsourcing our memory to devices — a phenomenon known as “cognitive offloading” — may actually weaken our internal recall. When we know a piece of information is saved online, our brains are less likely to process it deeply. We become masters of finding information, but slaves to the tools that store it.
Restoring the balance requires a conscious effort to reintroduce “forgetting” into our digital systems. This could mean “expiration dates” for certain types of data or privacy laws that grant individuals the “right to be forgotten.” Technology should serve as a tool for human flourishing, not a digital cage that keeps us trapped in an unchangeable past.
12. What does the author mean by “remembering is the default” in Paragraph 1
A. People are now born with better memories.
B. Digital information is automatically saved.
C. Forgetting has become an impossible biological task.
D. Most people prefer to keep their diaries online.
13. According to Mayer-Sch nberger, what is a negative effect of “digital permanence”
A. It makes irrelevant information harder to process.
B. It helps people learn more quickly from their errors.
C. It forces individuals to repeat their past mistakes.
D. It may prevent people from growing and changing.
14. What does the “cognitive offloading” mentioned in Paragraph 3 result in
A. A deeper understanding of digital tools.
B. An increase in our brain’s storage capacity.
C. A decline in our ability to remember things internally.
D. A better balance between work and personal life.
15. What is the author’s main message in the text
A. Human development requires a healthy balance between remembering and forgetting.
B. We should appreciate the convenience brought by the “cloud.”
C. Digital storage should be expanded for future generations.
D. Privacy laws are the only way to protect our digital footprints.

“Why are you wearing your red dress ” asked Sherry, a girl in my sixth-grade class. The look on my face must have indicated that I didn’t understand the question. She asked again. “Your red dress...Why are you wearing it Today is a blue-dress day.”
I rarely noticed what other people wore, so it never occurred to me that anyone would notice I had only two school dresses: a red dress with little yellow flowers and a blue one. The red dress was my favorite, so I wore it on Mondays and Tuesdays, the blue one on Wednesdays and Thursdays, then back to red each Friday.
“Oh,” I stammered (结结巴巴地说). “I dropped chili on it yesterday. I, uh, can’t wear it until Mama washes it.” There was no judgment in Sherry’s question, just curiosity. For the first time in my life, though, I wondered, “Do my friends feel sorry for me Am I poor ”
After school, I hung my red dress in the closet I shared with my sister and went outside to sulk (生闷气). I climbed to the lowest branch of an oak tree and stared at my tiny house. My mother had bought it six months earlier, shortly after my father died from a heart attack.
I made friends in our new town and visited their homes. Sherry lived in a brand-new house with a piano in her living room; another friend’s huge old house had more rooms than I could count. Still, my friends preferred coming to my house probably because they were crazy about my mom, who baked chocolate cakes or buttered biscuits, played board games with us after supper, and read books in her soft voice. Their parents were nice but never played with us.
I’d never compared my clothes, my little house, or my life with anyone else’s until that day. Mom called through the screen door for me to set the table. I climbed down and shuffled into the kitchen. She was mashing potatoes in a big bowl. I reached for dinner plates, asking softly, “Mama, are we poor ”
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I thought my question might make her feel bad. Instead, she asked, “What do you mean by ‘poor ’”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few minutes later, I settled at the table with the new book mom bought for me.

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。
“Why are you wearing your red dress ” asked Sherry, a girl in my sixth-grade class. The look on my face must have indicated that I didn’t understand the question. She asked again. “Your red dress...Why are you wearing it Today is a blue-dress day.”
I rarely noticed what other people wore, so it never occurred to me that anyone would notice I had only two school dresses: a red dress with little yellow flowers and a blue one. The red dress was my favorite, so I wore it on Mondays and Tuesdays, the blue one on Wednesdays and Thursdays, then back to red each Friday.
“Oh,” I stammered (结结巴巴地说). “I dropped chili on it yesterday. I, uh, can’t wear it until Mama washes it.” There was no judgment in Sherry’s question, just curiosity. For the first time in my life, though, I wondered, “Do my friends feel sorry for me Am I poor ”
After school, I hung my red dress in the closet I shared with my sister and went outside to sulk (生闷气). I climbed to the lowest branch of an oak tree and stared at my tiny house. My mother had bought it six months earlier, shortly after my father died from a heart attack.
I made friends in our new town and visited their homes. Sherry lived in a brand-new house with a piano in her living room; another friend’s huge old house had more rooms than I could count. Still, my friends preferred coming to my house probably because they were crazy about my mom, who baked chocolate cakes or buttered biscuits, played board games with us after supper, and read books in her soft voice. Their parents were nice but never played with us.
I’d never compared my clothes, my little house, or my life with anyone else’s until that day. Mom called through the screen door for me to set the table. I climbed down and shuffled into the kitchen. She was mashing potatoes in a big bowl. I reached for dinner plates, asking softly, “Mama, are we poor ”
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I thought my question might make her feel bad. Instead, she asked, “What do you mean by ‘poor ’”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few minutes later, I settled at the table with the new book mom bought for me.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
范文一：
I thought my question might make her feel bad. Instead, she asked, “What do you mean by ‘poor ’” She put down the bowl, turned to me, and wiped my cheek gently. I told her about Sherry’s question and my worry about being poor. She smiled warmly and said, “Poor is not about having few clothes or a small house, but about lacking love and warmth.” She added that we had each other, and my friends loved coming to our house because of the happiness here. Her words melted my anxiety, and I felt a warm feeling in my heart.
A few minutes later, I settled at the table with the new book mom bought for me. I stroked the cover gently, recalling her words and the happy moments with her and my friends. I suddenly realized that I was never poor. The love from mom, the friendship from my classmates, and the warmth of our small home were the most precious wealth. I raised my head, smiled at mom, and knew I should cherish what I had. From then on, I no longer felt inferior and became confident to accept my life.
范文二：
I thought my question might make her feel bad. Instead, she asked, “What do you mean by ‘poor ’” I hesitated, then explained about Sherry’s question and the red dress. Mom set down the potato masher and wiped her hands on her apron. “Poor isn’t about dresses, sweetheart,” she said gently. “Poor is when you have no one to love you, no dreams to chase, no hope in your heart.” She took my face in her flour-dusted hands. “We have a roof that keeps us dry, food that fills our bellies, and most importantly, we have each other. Your friends don’t come here for our house—they come because this home is full of laughter and warmth.” She hugged me tight. “You’re richer than you know.”
A few minutes later, I settled at the table with the new book mom bought for me. It was a worn copy of Little Women, but to me, it felt like treasure. As I turned the pages, I realized the March sisters weren’t wealthy either, yet they lived with such grace and kindness. I thought of Mom baking cakes with the little we had, of her reading to us by lamplight, of the way she made every guest feel like family. The next morning, I wore my blue dress proudly. When Sherry complimented it, I smiled and said. “Thanks! My mom says colors don’t matter—it’s the person inside that counts.” And for the first time, I truly believed it.
