A
A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth：the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones，the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.Being with the elderly is not just about the heart-warming stories or the secret family recipes you get to share；it’s about something even more significant.
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明，与祖母等长辈共度时光有助于延长他们的寿命，充实他们的生活。
This revelation comes from a study by the University of California，San Francisco，which highlights the profound impact of companionship on the elderly’s lifespan and quality of life.The research involved 1,600 adults，averaging 71 years in age，and it discovered a distinct contrast in mortality rates(死亡率) between those who felt lonely and those who didn’t.
The essence of the study’s findings is quite straightforward: as we age，the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish；in fact，it becomes more crucial.Loneliness can affect anyone，but its effects are particularly severe for the elderly，making companionship not just a nice-to-have but a necessity for thriving in later years.
Interestingly，while senior homes often get a bad rating，they emerge as unsung heroes.These communities offer a vital space for cultivating elderly friendships，proving to be a blessing for those whose social circles tend to shrink with age.It is like experiencing the friendship of college life all over again，but this time，it’s even more enriching because it’s about making genuine connections that enhance the quality of life.
In another study，Rosemary Bliezner，a professor of human development at Virginia Tech finds that aging brings a wealth of experience that enriches friendships.Older adults know what matters and what doesn’t，making them invaluable companions who offer wisdom without the small quarrels that often destroy younger relationships.This perspective suggests that seniors could very well be the best friends you’ve never considered.So，the next time you’re looking for someone to share a meal with or just have a casual chat，think of your elderly relatives.
1.What do we know from the study
A.Growing old is challenging and highly risky.
B.The elderly are easily hurt by social isolation.
C.Meaningful relationships are crucial for the elderly.
D.Companionship doesn’t affect the lifespan of the elderly.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This revelation comes from a study by the University of California，San Francisco，which highlights the profound impact of companionship on the elderly’s lifespan and quality of life.”以及第三段中“The essence of the study’s findings is quite straightforward：as we age，the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish；in fact，it becomes more crucial.”可推知，我们从这项研究中了解到的是有意义的联系对老年人来说至关重要。故选C项。
解析
2.What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Disappear. B.Decline.
C.Enlarge. D.Increase.
√
词义猜测题。画线词所在句“as we age，the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish；in fact，it becomes more crucial.”中“in fact，it becomes more crucial”与上文“diminish”之间有转折关系，即“我们对有意义的关系和联系的需求并没有减弱，事实上，它变得更加重要了”。故diminish与decline同义，意为“减弱，降低”。故选B项。
解析
3.What can be inferred about being friends with someone older
A.It helps pass down family traditions.
B.It makes the young wealthier.
C.The benefits of it are not one-sided.
D.The disadvantage of it is time-consuming.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth：the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones，the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.”和最后一段中“Older adults know what matters and what doesn’t，making them invaluable companions who offer wisdom without the small quarrels that often destroy younger relationships.”可推知，和年纪大的人交朋友的好处是双向的，不仅对老年人有好处，年轻人也能从中获益。故选C项。
解析
4.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.Ways of improving the life quality of the elderly.
B.Methods of making friends with the elderly.
C.Benefits of the elderly living in senior homes.
D.Impacts of companionship on the lives of the elderly.
√
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合第一段中“A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth：the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones，the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.”可知，本文主要介绍了加州大学旧金山分校的一项研究结果，该研究强调了陪伴对老年人寿命和生活质量的深远影响。所以，文章主要讲的是陪伴对老年人生活的影响。故选D项。
解析
B
Empathy(共情) is one of the most important skills a teacher can have，but it is not always easy to respond to student behaviour with empathy.However，when you demonstrate to students that you understand and respect their feelings，you build mutual trust and friendly relationship.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，以一种鼓励共情的方式教育孩子可以提高他们的创造力，并可能带来多种有益的学习成果。
According to new research，teaching children in a way that encourages them to empathize with others improves their creativity and may lead to a variety of other beneficial learning outcomes.The findings are the result of a year-long University of Cambridge study with Design and Technology(D&T) year 9 students(ages 13 to 14) from two inner London schools.Pupils at one school spent the year following curriculum-required lessons，while students at the other school used a set of engineering design thinking tools to improve students’ ability to think creatively and empathically while solving real-world problems.
Both sets of pupils were assessed for creativity at both the start and end of the school year using the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking：a well-established psychometric test(心理测试).The results showed a statistically significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention school，where the thinking tools were used.At the start of the year，the Creativity scores of pupils in the control school，which followed the standard curriculum，were 11% higher than those at the intervention school.By the end，however，the situation had completely changed：Creativity scores among the intervention group were 78% higher than the control group.
Nicholl，Senior Lecturer in Design and Technology Education，who trains teachers studying on the University’s D&T PGCE course，said，“Teaching for empathy has been difficult despite being part of the D&T National Curriculum for over two decades.This evidence suggests that it is a missing link in the creative process，and vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow.” Nicholl added，“When I taught Design and Technology，I didn’t see children as potential engineers who would one day contribute to the economy；they were people who needed to be ready to go into the world at 18.Teaching children to empathize is about building a society where we appreciate each other’s thoughts.Surely that is something we want education to do.”
5.What will a teacher with empathy do
A.Share knowledge with students.
B.Understand students’ emotions.
C.Improve important teaching skills.
D.Respond to students’ behaviour.
√
细节理解题。根据第一段“Empathy(共情) is one of the most important skills a teacher can have...when you demonstrate to students that you understand and respect their feelings，you build mutual trust and friendly relationship.”可知，有同理心的教师会理解和尊重学生的情感。故选B。
解析
6.Why were thinking tools used by the pupils of the other school
A.To spread the ideas related to empathy.
B.To learn the curriculum-required lessons.
C.To promote problem-solving abilities.
D.To inspire creativity with mutual trust.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句中“while students at the other school used a set of engineering design thinking tools to improve students’ ability to think creatively and empathically while solving real-world problems”可知，另一所学校的学生使用一套工程设计思维工具来提高学生在解决现实问题时的创造性思维和共情能力，结合第一段第二句提到共情能促进相互信任可推知，使用思维工具是为了激发创造力和相互信任。故选D。
解析
7.What did the results of the test suggest
A.The standard curriculum didn’t encourage creativity.
B.The intervention school was more popular among students.
C.The control group lacked the ability to empathize with others.
D.The emphasis on empathy contributed significantly to creativity.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The results showed a statistically significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention school，where the thinking tools were used.”可知，测试的结果显示，应用思维工具的学生的创造力成绩提升显著，结合该工具旨在提升创造力和共情可推知，对共情的强调明显促进了学生的创造力。故选D。
解析
8.What did Nicholl think of the study
A.Unarguable. B.Influential.
C.Distinctive. D.Inaccurate.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Nicholl所说的“This evidence suggests that it is a missing link in the creative process，and vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow.”以及文章最后两句可推测，Nicholl认为这项研究是有影响力的。故选B。
解析

1.A.challenging B.astonishing

语境串记　主题语段串记单元词汇
Connection is a vital part of human life.Whether it’s the closely-knit bonds within a family or the network of friends we build，these relationships shape who we are.In modern society，people hang out in places like cafeterias，galleries，or even online forums to strengthen their connections.However，conflicts or disagreements sometimes arise，causing friction in relationships.When this happens，a sincere apology or words of encouragement can help restore harmony.
Living in the suburbs or on the outskirts of a city may make it harder to stay connected，but technology bridges the gap.Social media acts as a chain，linking people across distances.Yet，too much online interaction can disturb real-life connections.For example，a random message might bring joy，but face-to-face meetings leave a deeper impression.
In moments of loneliness，a warm hug or a kind word can reveal the power of human bonds.Even in despair，a small act of kindness—like lending a loan or offering forgiveness—can rebuild trust.True connection goes beyond words；it’s felt in the heart.
联系是人类生活的一个重要组成部分。无论是家庭中紧密相连的纽带，还是我们建立的朋友网络，这些关系塑造了我们。在现代社会，人们会在自助餐厅、美术馆甚至在线论坛中闲逛，以加强彼此的联系。然而，冲突或分歧有时会出现，导致关系紧张。这时，一句真诚的道歉或鼓励的话语就能帮助恢复和谐。 住在市郊或城市远郊可能让人更难保持联系，但科技缩短了距离。社交媒体像一条链条，将远方的人们连接起来。然而，过多的线上互动可能会干扰现实中的联系。例如，一条随机的信息可能带来快乐，但面对面的交流才会留下更深的印象。在孤独的时刻，一个温暖的拥抱或一句善意的话语就能展现人际纽带的力量。即使在绝望中，一个小小的善举——比如提供一笔贷款或给予宽恕——也能重建信任。真正的联系超越言语，它存在于心中。

A
A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth：the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones，the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.Being with the elderly is not just about the heart-warming stories or the secret family recipes you get to share；it’s about something even more significant.
This revelation comes from a study by the University of California，San Francisco，which highlights the profound impact of companionship on the elderly’s lifespan and quality of life.The research involved 1,600 adults，averaging 71 years in age，and it discovered a distinct contrast in mortality rates(死亡率) between those who felt lonely and those who didn’t.
The essence of the study’s findings is quite straightforward: as we age，the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish；in fact，it becomes more crucial.Loneliness can affect anyone，but its effects are particularly severe for the elderly，making companionship not just a nice-to-have but a necessity for thriving in later years.
Interestingly，while senior homes often get a bad rating，they emerge as unsung heroes.These communities offer a vital space for cultivating elderly friendships，proving to be a blessing for those whose social circles tend to shrink with age.It is like experiencing the friendship of college life all over again，but this time，it’s even more enriching because it’s about making genuine connections that enhance the quality of life.
In another study，Rosemary Bliezner，a professor of human development at Virginia Tech finds that aging brings a wealth of experience that enriches friendships.Older adults know what matters and what doesn’t，making them invaluable companions who offer wisdom without the small quarrels that often destroy younger relationships.This perspective suggests that seniors could very well be the best friends you’ve never considered.So，the next time you’re looking for someone to share a meal with or just have a casual chat，think of your elderly relatives.

B．The elderly are easily hurt by social isolation.
C．Meaningful relationships are crucial for the elderly.
D．Companionship doesn’t affect the lifespan of the elderly.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中“This revelation comes from a study by the University of California，San Francisco，which highlights the profound impact of companionship on the elderly’s lifespan and quality of life.”以及第三段中“The essence of the study’s findings is quite straightforward：as we age，the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish；in fact，it becomes more crucial.”可推知，我们从这项研究中了解到的是有意义的联系对老年人来说至关重要。故选C项。
2．What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Disappear. B．Decline.
C．Enlarge. D．Increase.
答案　B
解析　词义猜测题。画线词所在句“as we age，the need for meaningful relationships and connections doesn’t diminish；in fact，it becomes more crucial.”中“in fact，it becomes more crucial”与上文“diminish”之间有转折关系，即“我们对有意义的关系和联系的需求并没有减弱，事实上，它变得更加重要了”。故diminish与decline同义，意为“减弱，降低”。故选B项。
3．What can be inferred about being friends with someone older
A．It helps pass down family traditions.
B．It makes the young wealthier.
C．The benefits of it are not one-sided.
D．The disadvantage of it is time-consuming.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中“A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth：the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones，the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.”和最后一段中“Older adults know what matters and what doesn’t，making them invaluable companions who offer wisdom without the small quarrels that often destroy younger relationships.”可推知，和年纪大的人交朋友的好处是双向的，不仅对老年人有好处，年轻人也能从中获益。故选C项。
4．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Ways of improving the life quality of the elderly.
B．Methods of making friends with the elderly.
C．Benefits of the elderly living in senior homes.
D．Impacts of companionship on the lives of the elderly.
答案　D
解析　主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合第一段中“A recent study has unveiled a heartening truth：the more we cherish moments with our grandmothers and other elderly loved ones，the longer and more fulfilling their lives can be.”可知，本文主要介绍了加州大学旧金山分校的一项研究结果，该研究强调了陪伴对老年人寿命和生活质量的深远影响。所以，文章主要讲的是陪伴对老年人生活的影响。故选D项。
B
Empathy(共情) is one of the most important skills a teacher can have，but it is not always easy to respond to student behaviour with empathy.However，when you demonstrate to students that you understand and respect their feelings，you build mutual trust and friendly relationship.
According to new research，teaching children in a way that encourages them to empathize with others improves their creativity and may lead to a variety of other beneficial learning outcomes.The findings are the result of a year-long University of Cambridge study with Design and Technology(D&T) year 9 students(ages 13 to 14) from two inner London schools.Pupils at one school spent the year following curriculum-required lessons，while students at the other school used a set of engineering design thinking tools to improve students’ ability to think creatively and empathically while solving real-world problems.
Both sets of pupils were assessed for creativity at both the start and end of the school year using the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking：a well-established psychometric test(心理测试)．The results showed a statistically significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention school，where the thinking tools were used.At the start of the year，the Creativity scores of pupils in the control school，which followed the standard curriculum，were 11% higher than those at the intervention school.By the end，however，the situation had completely changed：Creativity scores among the intervention group were 78% higher than the control group.
Nicholl，Senior Lecturer in Design and Technology Education，who trains teachers studying on the University’s D&T PGCE course，said，“Teaching for empathy has been difficult despite being part of the D&T National Curriculum for over two decades.This evidence suggests that it is a missing link in the creative process，and vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow.” Nicholl added，“When I taught Design and Technology，I didn’t see children as potential engineers who would one day contribute to the economy；they were people who needed to be ready to go into the world at 18.Teaching children to empathize is about building a society where we appreciate each other’s thoughts.Surely that is something we want education to do.”
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，以一种鼓励共情的方式教育孩子可以提高他们的创造力，并可能带来多种有益的学习成果。
5．What will a teacher with empathy do
A．Share knowledge with students.
B．Understand students’ emotions.
C．Improve important teaching skills.
D．Respond to students’ behaviour.
答案　B

6．Why were thinking tools used by the pupils of the other school
A．To spread the ideas related to empathy.
B．To learn the curriculum-required lessons.
C．To promote problem-solving abilities.
D．To inspire creativity with mutual trust.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句中“while students at the other school used a set of engineering design thinking tools to improve students’ ability to think creatively and empathically while solving real-world problems”可知，另一所学校的学生使用一套工程设计思维工具来提高学生在解决现实问题时的创造性思维和共情能力，结合第一段第二句提到共情能促进相互信任可推知，使用思维工具是为了激发创造力和相互信任。故选D。
7．What did the results of the test suggest
A．The standard curriculum didn’t encourage creativity.
B．The intervention school was more popular among students.
C．The control group lacked the ability to empathize with others.
D．The emphasis on empathy contributed significantly to creativity.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中“The results showed a statistically significant increase in creativity among pupils at the intervention school，where the thinking tools were used.”可知，测试的结果显示，应用思维工具的学生的创造力成绩提升显著，结合该工具旨在提升创造力和共情可推知，对共情的强调明显促进了学生的创造力。故选D。
8．What did Nicholl think of the study
A．Unarguable. B．Influential.
C．Distinctive. D．Inaccurate.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中Nicholl所说的“This evidence suggests that it is a missing link in the creative process，and vital if we want education to encourage the designers and engineers of tomorrow.”以及文章最后两句可推测，Nicholl认为这项研究是有影响力的。故选B。
