B
When he was a little boy, his uncle called him “Sparky” after a comic-strip horse named Spark Plug. School was all but impossible for Sparky.
He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He failed physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. He also failed Latin, algebra and English. And his record in sports wasn’t any better. Though he did manage to make the school’s golf team, he quickly lost the only important match of the season. Oh, there was a consolation
match (安慰赛); he lost that too.
Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasn’t that the other students disliked him; it’s just that no one really cared all that much. In fact, Sparky was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Sparky
was a loser. He, his classmates... everyone knew it.
One thing was important to Sparky, however — drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else appreciated it. But that didn’t seem to matter to him. In his
senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the yearbook. The editors rejected the concept. Despite this brush-off, Sparky was convinced of his ability. He even decided to become an artist.
So, after completing high school, Sparky wrote to Walt Disney Studios. They
asked for samples of his artwork. Despite careful preparation, it too was rejected. One more confirmation that he was a loser.
But Sparky still didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own life’s story in cartoons. Sparky’s cartoon character went on to become a cultural phenomenon of
sorts. People readily identified with this “lovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity. The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And
Sparky, the boy whose many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was rejected again and again... is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His
cartoon strip, Peanuts, continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials,
reminding us, as someone once commented, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even the losers.
4 ．What can be inferred about Sparky’s classmates
A ．They were not fond of him. B ．They only said hello to him.
C．They laughed at him for his failures. D．They considered him socially invisible.
5 ．Which words best describe Sparky according to the passage
A ．Talented and promising. B ．Optimistic and sociable.
C ．Ambitious and persistent. D ．Passionate and knowledgeable.
6 ．What does the author focus on in the last paragraph
A ．The inspiration of Sparky’s successful story.
B ．The cultural impacts growing out of failures.
C ．The story behind a famous cartoon character.
D ．The process of creating the cartoon strip of Peanuts.
7 ．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A ．The Life of Charles Schultz B ．The Loser Who Never Gave up
C ．The Creation of Charlie Brown D ．The Optimist Who Never Complained
C
We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it. Just today, someone boasted (自夸) to me that she was so busy she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact. She is not alone.
Why are rational (理性的) people so irrational in their behavior The answer is that we’ re in the midst of a bubble (泡沫). I call it “The More Bubble”.
The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until — eventually — the bubble bursts, and we’ re left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place. The thing we’ re overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all,
achieving it all.
This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism (消费主义). The result is not just
information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in
history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing. In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and
superwomen who can get it all done. Of course, we boasted about being busy — it’s code for being successful and important.
And our answer to the problem of more is always more. We need more
technology to help us create more technologies. We need to move our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.
Luckily, there is a solution to asking for more: asking for less, but better. A
growing number of people are making this change. I call these people Essentialists.
These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing
everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are
not working). They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on
Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done.
So we have two choices: We can be among the last people caught up in “The More Bubble”, or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.
8 ．When the woman said she only slept for four hours a night for two weeks, she
.
________
A ．was unsatisfied with her lifestyle
B ．was asking for suggestions
C ．knew few people were like her

9 ．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A ．The cause and result of“The More Bubble”.
B ．The advantages of“The More Bubble”.
C ．The solutions to “The More Bubble”.
D ．The value of“The More Bubble”.
10 ．According to the text, Essentialists are those who .
A ．prefer to change frequently
B ．give up certain things for what matters in life
C ．are tired of information and opinions
D ．are eager to become successful and important
11 ．What’s the author’s attitude towards“The More Bubble”
A ．Supportive. B ．Undecided. C ．Disapproving. D ．Doubtful.
D
Adults should prioritize book reading, which helps promote mental health,
according to a global study conducted in 2023. Researchers surveyed 15,000
participants aged 25-60 across 25 countries, combining questionnaires with cognitive tests. The findings highlight alarming trends and solutions.
In the past decade, weekly reading rates dropped sharply. Only 33% of adults read books weekly, compared to 51% in2013. Chinese adults demonstrated slightly higher engagement, with 38% reading printed books monthly — higher than the
global average of 29%. However, 63% admitted to spending over 3.5 hours daily on short video or social media. European nations like Italy and Spain mirrored this
pattern, where 68% cited “exhaustion from work” as the primary barrier.
Regular readers demonstrated significant advantages. Those dedicating over 5
hours weekly to books scored 28% higher in memory and problem-solving
assessments. Emotionally, 43% of frequent readers reported effective stress
management techniques, versus 19% among non-readers. Brain scans showed that
sustained reading strengthens neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex (大脑前额叶皮层), which governs decision-making. Dr. Helen Park, a neurologist from Yale,
explains: “Deep reading acts as cognitive training, much like lifting weights for the mind.”
Cultural divides appeared in content preferences. Asian readers prioritized
educational materials — 58% chose history, science, or career-related books. In
contrast, 61% of Western participants favored fiction for relaxation. Digital adoption also varied: e-books accounted for 70% of adult reading in the U. S. and U. K., while 76% of Asian readers preferred printed books. Researchers link this to cultural
traditions; for instance, China’s book-friendly society concept emphasizes tactile (触觉的) and visual engagement with texts.
The study proposes actionable strategies. Governments are urged to launch
workplace reading initiatives — companies like Siemens and Huawei now offer
20-minute paid “reading breaks” daily, observing 15-20% productivity increases.
Schools should inspire parental reading through community programs. “Reading isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifelong health investment,” insists Dr. Carlos Mendez, the study’s lead author. “Even 12 minutes daily builds mental resilience (恢复力) across
lifetimes.”
12 ．What method did researchers use to study reading’s impact on the brain
A ．Interviews with educators. B ．Analysis of book sales data.
C ．Social media usage tracking. D ．Brain scans and cognitive tests.
13 ．Why might Chinese readers prefer printed books
A ．Limited access to e-books. B ．Influence of traditional values.
C ．Lower costs of printed materials. D ．Government restrictions on digital content.
14 ．How does Dr. Carlos Mendez view reading
A ．Asa luxury for the wealthy. B ．As a popular trend in society.
C ．As a way to restore mental power. D ．As a substitute for physical exercise. 15 ．Which is the best title for the text
A ．Reading Decline: Causes and Fixes
B ．Work Stress: The Main Barrier to Reading
C ．Digital Books vs. Paper Books:A Global Debate
D ．Short Videos: The Killer of Traditional Reading

阅读下面短文，从短文后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。
I first discovered wood carving on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I was looking
around in a local bookstore when a book titled Easy Woodcarving caught my eye.
16 I had always loved working with my hands, and the idea of turning a plain piece of wood into something beautiful seemed magical.
I bought the book and a small carving kit that came with a knife, a few gouges (弧口凿), and some soft basswood (椴木) blocks 17
The first thing I learned was that wood carving is all about patience. 18 I drew it onto the wood block and then began to carve. The knife moved slowly
through the wood, and I had to be careful not to cut too deep. Each cut showed a bit more of the bird’s shape, and I was attracted by how the wood changed under my
hands.
19 You have to think ahead and plan your cuts. Sometimes, the wood
would crack, and I’d have to adjust my design. But each mistake taught me something new. I learned to keep my tools sharp, and to take my time.
After a few weeks, my little bird was starting to take shape. I added details like feathers and the shape of its eyes. Finally, I sanded it smooth and applied a light color to bring out the wood’s natural beauty. 20 It wasn’t perfect, but it was mine, and I had made it from nothing.
A ．I decided to try painting instead of wood carving at first.
B ．As I worked, I realized that wood carving is like a puzzle.
C ．I picked a simple design — a small bird resting on a branch.
D ．The knife was too sharp and I hurt my finger on the first day.
E ．The cover showed a simple wooden figure, and I was interested.
F ．The basswood felt smooth and inviting, and I couldn’t wait to get started.
G ．When I held the finished bird in my hands, I felt a deep sense of achievement.

Among the beautiful items in an eight-year-old girl’s room, there was a broken doll with several lines sewed on it. If the doll could talk, it would tell a story of two kids and the relationship among family members.
Amy has been enjoying her parents’ unique attention for five years since she
was born. However, things began to change when the family had a new member, her little brother, Leo.
On hearing the news that she would have a little brother or sister, Amy felt at a loss. She didn’t know what it meant to her. However, with the birth of Leo, Amy
began to know that she wouldn’t be the only kid. Seeing her parents pay more
attention to the little baby and hearing more and more people say her parents wouldn’t love her anymore, Amy became sensitive. Worried about her position in the hearts of her parents, she began to have incomprehensible resistance to little Leo. As time went by, Amy became more and more sensitive and concerned about her uniqueness and
belongings.
The other day, Amy came back home happily with the praise from her teacher. Seeing Leo holding her favorite doll made Amy feel very upset. In her eyes, the doll was not just a toy, but a part of her childhood, and a symbol of being loved. “Give it
back to me, Leo,” Amy shouted. “No, I want to play with it,” Leo said. “It’s mine, not yours,” Amy stepped forward to Leo. “But I want it,” Leo insisted. Leo’s refusal led to Amy grabbing the toy without hesitation. In the process of the struggle, the doll
was accidentally split into two parts, broken. Leo fell onto the ground, crying loudly. Amy’s face turned pale, and she felt like sitting on pins and needles. She was in fear that Leo got hurt and she was also afraid her mother would blame her, and think her an inconsiderate girl.

what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing.( 这个泡沫是由三种强大的趋势共同促成的：智能手机、社交媒体和极端消费主义。其结果不仅是信息过载，还有观点过载。我们比以往任何时候都更清楚地知道其他人正在做什么，因此也清楚自己应该做什么。)”可知，本段是讲“更多泡沫” 的成因与后果。故选 A 项。
10．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they
are not working).They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook
with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done.( 这些人会围绕“必不可少的事物”来规划自己的生活，并舍弃其他一切。这些人会安排出真正的周末（在这段时间里他们不工作）。他们在家里设立无科技区域。他们用在脸书上花费的时间来与那些对他们来说真正重要的少数朋友通话。他们不再匆忙赶去参加各种会议，而是为完成重要的工作而为自己的计划留出空间。)”可知，根据文中的描述，本质主义者是指那些为了生活中真正重要的事物而放弃某些东西的人。故选 B 项。
11 ．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第三段“The nature of bubbles is that something is
overvalued until — eventually — the bubble bursts, and we’ re left wondering why we were so
irrational in the first place.

Growing Up with AI
In today’s fast-changing world, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an important part of our growth. As students, we are learning not only from textbooks, but also with the help of AI.
In my daily study, I often use AI to improve my learning efficiency. When I meet difficult problems, it offers clear explanations and helpful ideas. It also helps me organize my thoughts in writing, making my work more structured and focused. With its support, learning becomes more flexible and personalized.
However, growing up with AI also makes me think. While it provides convenience, we should not depend on it too much. True learning still requires our own thinking and effort.
In my view, AI is a powerful partner, but how we use it will shape who we become.
47 ．例文
However, things didn’t go as expected. Mom came over in a hurry with an anxious look.
Seeing Leo crying and the broken doll, she gently picked Leo up and comforted him. Turning to
Amy, mom said, “It’s okay, Amy. Accidents happen. We all love you and Leo equally. Remember family is about sharing and understanding, not fighting over things.” Amy’s heart softened as she realized her mother’s words were true. She felt a wave of relief wash over her, knowing she didn’t lose her parents’ love.
With a better understanding of family and love, Amy’s attitude towards Leo changed. She began to see him not as a threat to her position but as a precious addition to their family. As they worked on sewing the doll together, Amy taught Leo how to thread the needle and make small
stitches. The process brought them closer, and Amy found joy in seeing Leo’s excitement at every successful stitch. They even decorated the doll with colorful patches, making it unique and special
again. From then on, Amy made an effort to include Leo in her activities and playtime. She realized love wasn’t something that had to be divided and that it multiplied when shared.
