To truly help our planet, we need to connect with it. And the good news is you don't have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers.
Big Butterfly Count
Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes everyday recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in.
The Great UK WaterBlitz
This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit.
The Big Garden Birdwatch
Organised by RSPB, the world's largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details.

A British woman, Dr. Mantri, growing up in India started to notice his son, Dhruv, was struggling with simple arithmetic when he was in fifth-grade. After noticing this, she started employing an abacus (算盘) to help her son visually comprehend mathematics.
"I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn't do it." said Dhruv's mom Dr. Mantri. "I decided to change the way he looked at numbers," she said. "An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid." In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers, with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help.
She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the turnaround, that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.
IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. "It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them." She added.
By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship (实习) at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. "He is so confident now and I am so proud," she said, with Dhruv adding "I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time."
4．Why did Dhruv have difficulty in learning mathematics
A．He was faced with language barrier.
B．He didn't find a proper way.
C．He suffered from eyesight problems.
D．He lacked academic support from the family.
5．What does the underlined word "whizz" in paragraph 2 mean
A．Careful. B．Diligent. C．Outstanding. D．Struggling.
6．Why do kids like learning on abacus according to the text
A．They find it appealing. B．They can calculate faster.
C．They enjoy playing games. D．They are eager for success.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Dhruv was addicted to the internet at 12.
B．Dhruv is teaching data science and analytics now.
C．Dhruv is a full-time student at Glasgow Caledonian University.
D．Dhruv's career choice was beyond his teachers' expectation.
三、C
You lean back from the dinner table, feeling like you physically couldn't fit another bite. But then someone offers pie and you just can't say no. Scientists have now identified the neurons (神经元) behind the "dessert stomach" phenomenon.
In their study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research found that mice kept eating sugar even when they should have felt full. Investigations of their brains showed that a group of nerve cells, known as the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, became active. These neurons release a chemical called β-endorphin, which acts like a natural reward and makes the mice feel good. As a result, they keep eating sugar despite feeling full. Interestingly, this effect only happens with sugar, not with other types of food like normal meals or fatty snacks.
In a follow-up experiment with humans, researchers gave volunteers a sugar drink and found that the same thing happens in the brain as with mice. This suggests that the "dessert stomach" is a real thing for both mice and humans.
Why does this happen According to Henning Fenselau, a scientist who led the study, this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Sugar is rare in nature but provides quick energy. Our brains are programmed to make us want to eat sugar whenever we find it. This might have been helpful in the past because of food shortage, but today it can lead to overeating and health problems.
The findings could shed light on treating obesity by providing a thorough understanding of the urge for sugar, and could even lead to potential medical solutions. Developing drugs to block the brain's reward system for sugar might help people control their cravings (渴望). Yet, it is too soon to say that the full picture has been drawn. Other studies have found that signals from your digestive system could influence why there always seems to be room for a dessert.
8．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A．By describing an eating behaviour.
B．By introducing a scientific study.
C．By defining a certain term.
D．By comparing different eating habits.
9．What is the main function of POMC neurons in the mice's brains
A．Telling the bodies the mice have eaten enough.
B．Managing the desire for fatty and salty foods.
C．Creating a reward system to encourage dieting.
D．Producing a chemical linked to positive emotions.
10．Why does the author mention that "sugar is rare in nature" in paragraph 4
A．To blame modern food production for health issues.
B．To explain the evolutionary basis of sugar cravings.
C．To compare natural sugar with artificial sugar.
D．To warn people about eating too much sugar.
11．What is suggested in the last paragraph
A．Sugar-blocking drugs should be sold on stores right now.
B．Brain activities alone could determine dessert cravings.
C．More research is needed before the application of the study.
D．Cravings for sugar only occurred in modern times.
四、D
What if everything happens for a reason It's a theory that we've all heard more than once. And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.
We've all been there. Say you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory, this single, tiny inconvenience is enough to have a domino effect (多米诺效应). Your morning is then pushed back by what, maybe three to five minutes Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you'd really rather avoid.
In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us. It prevents us from thinking over something that isn't really all that bad in the grand perspective of things and encourages us to make meaning of challenges we may experience, thus making us more adaptive to the future setbacks. The next time you feel yourself becoming annoyed or frustrated by an inconvenience in your life, try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself why you're grateful for the inconvenience.
While maintaining a positive mindset can go a long way, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile.
12．What may be a case of the burnt toast theory
A．Gaining rewards after paying efforts.
B．Losing a job after forgetting to set an alarm.
C．Meeting a future employer after missing a flight.
D．Mending friendship after clearing misunderstandings.
13．What is the result of applying the burnt toast theory according to paragraph 3
A．Better judgement on fears.
B．Richer experience from failures.
C．The removal of daily inconveniences.
D．The harvest of a positive mindset.
14．Which aspect of the theory does the last paragraph focus on
A．Would-be projects. B．Real-world applications.
C．Potential weaknesses. D．Practical advantages.
15．What is probably the best title of the text
A．Less Is More B．Make a Lemon Lemonade
C．Once Bitten, Twice Shy D．Better Late Than Never

The solution to any despair might be hope, experts say. It's believing in a brighter future and acting towards it.　16． 　 Here are strategies that can help cultivate hope. As Hellman, an assistant professor of psychology at Suffolk University in Boston, points out, "Hope begets hope, and it has such a significant protective factor."
　17． 　 Make it a point to always be working toward at least one goal that's meaningful, Hellman advises. In other words, it shouldn't be something you have to do but something you want to do. "Goals can be anything that's important to us," he says.
Brainstorm solutions. If you've set a goal that's meaningful to you, but you can't figure out a way to achieve it, you'll probably feel pretty hopeless.

Seek out success stories. It's said that people cultivate hope by seeking support from their parents and specific teachers. But they also got a lot out of learning about other people who have done well for themselves. Hellman says, "　19． 　"
Tap into your imagination. Hellman thinks of imagination as "the instrument of hope". Let's say you set a goal for the week. Spend a few minutes reflecting on or talking about what would happen if you achieved it. "How does it impact you, or how would it benefit others " he says. "　20． 　 And when you can see yourself in the future, that is the very essence of hope."
A. Do something meaningful.
B. It can be taught and nurtured.
C. Think in a goal-oriented way.
D. With these good examples, people are bound to be successful.
E. So, if one doesn't work out, they have an alternative at the ready.

九、第二节（满分25分）
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。
The old workshop door creaked open. Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather's rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg.
The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February's page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. "This might help him," she thought, eager to show how skilled he was.
However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. "Old ways for a dying business!" "No wonder the business is failing!" Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days.
"Want to see my treasure " Grandpa' s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly.
"Timmy, my former student," Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. "Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month's newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon." He tapped the photo, adding, "Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories."
Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy's smile, and Grandpa's young handwriting on the back: Timmy's first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. "Stories must be told," Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it.
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。
Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video.

47．【答案】The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album's sketches of Timmy's curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, "Hands remember stories machines forget." By noon, comments exploded, "Hands of a legend!" "Need this magic in my home!" Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, "I'm coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!" Her eyes widened at Timmy's profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.
A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. "Your spoon taught me curves have souls," he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book's empty February page now filled with March's growing demands.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，本文 讲述了 Clara 的祖父经营的手工坊生意惨淡，Clara 首次上传祖父工作视频遭负面评价后删除。祖父向她展示了皮革相册里学生 Timmy 的相关物品，讲述 Timmy 受自己影响成为著名家具设计师的故事，Clara 决定再次拍摄视频，这次要分享手工背后的故事 。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"第二天早上，Clara上传了一个新视频。"可知，第一段可描述新视频的内容，如视频里展现了祖父的哪些故事和技艺，以及该视频发布后在网络上引发的反应，包括网友的评论、分享量等情况；②由第二段首句内容"一周后，蒂米走进了工作室，他现在已经是一位著名的家具设计师了。"可知，第二段可描写Timmy 来到工作室后的情节展开，如他与祖父的互动，他们之间的对话、情感交流，以及他们共同做了什么事情，最终对工作室产生了怎样的影响。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】该故事从 Clara 发布负面评论的视频开始，到她受到启发重新拍摄视频并成功，再到 Timmy 的回归，情节发展自然流畅，情感转折合理。读者能够感受到 Clara 从失败到成功的心理变化，以及 Grandfather 和 Timmy 之间深厚的情感纽带。作者运用了丰富的细节描写，如"wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight"（在阳光下闪闪发光的刨花）、"His hands were gluing a maple chair leg"（他的手正在粘枫木椅腿）等，使读者能够身临其境地感受到故事场景。通过人物的语言和动作描写，如"Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo"（Grandfather 微笑着，触摸着照片中勺子的曲线）、"He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening"（他拥抱了 Grandfather，泪水闪烁）等，传达了人物之间的深厚情感。故事以 Timmy 的回归和工作室的复苏作为结尾，给读者留下了美好的印象。这种圆满的结局不仅符合读者的期待，也强化了故事的主题。

A British woman, Dr. Mantri, growing up in India started to notice his son, Dhruv, was struggling with simple arithmetic when he was in fifth-grade. After noticing this, she started employing an abacus (算盘) to help her son visually comprehend mathematics.
"I would ask him something like 35 minus 13 and he couldn't do it." said Dhruv's mom Dr. Mantri. "I decided to change the way he looked at numbers," she said. "An abacus is a tried and tested method, and the Egyptians used them for building the pyramid." In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become a whizz kid with numbers, with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help.
She never thought she would teach her son using an abacus, which she used as a child in India and it was always helpful. Within six days she started to notice a difference and see results. So dramatic was the turnaround, that school staff asked him to perform with the abacus at an assembly, where some parents even came to ask for advice on using it for their kids.
IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game. "It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them." She added.
By the age of 12, Dhruv was giving online cyber security seminars and is now pursuing a career in data science and analytics. Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship (实习) at an international firm. During the four-year apprenticeship, he will spend one day a week studying Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at Glasgow Caledonian University. "He is so confident now and I am so proud," she said, with Dhruv adding "I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time."
4．Why did Dhruv have difficulty in learning mathematics
A．He was faced with language barrier.
B．He didn't find a proper way.
C．He suffered from eyesight problems.
D．He lacked academic support from the family.
5．What does the underlined word "whizz" in paragraph 2 mean
A．Careful. B．Diligent. C．Outstanding. D．Struggling.
6．Why do kids like learning on abacus according to the text
A．They find it appealing. B．They can calculate faster.
C．They enjoy playing games. D．They are eager for success.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Dhruv was addicted to the internet at 12.
B．Dhruv is teaching data science and analytics now.
C．Dhruv is a full-time student at Glasgow Caledonian University.
D．Dhruv's career choice was beyond his teachers' expectation.
【答案】4．B
5．C
6．A
7．D
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；故事阅读类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了英国母亲Dr. Mantri通过引入传统算盘工具，帮助儿子Dhruv克服数学学习困难并激发其潜能的故事。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段中的"After noticing this, she started employing an abacus (算盘) to help her son visually comprehend mathematics."注意到这一点后，她开始用算盘来帮助儿子直观地理解数学；以及第二段中的"In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus and would go on to become awhizz kid with numbers"在短短6天里，他开始在算盘方面取得进步，并成为了数字方面的能手。可知，Dhruv五年级时在算术方面很吃力，他的妈妈用算盘来帮助他直观地理解数学，他取得了很大进步，所以说一开始Dhruv在学习算术方面有困难是因为他没有找到合适的方法。故选B。
5．词义猜测题。根据第二段中的"In just six days he started to show progress with the abacus"在短短6天里，他开始在算盘方面取得进步；以及"with even his classmates' parents reaching out for help"甚至他同学的父母都向他求助。可知，此处指Dhruv在使用算盘后成为了数字方面的能手，可推知划线词whizz意为"优秀的，出色的"。故选C。
6．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段"IT specialist Dr. Mantri said the humble abacus can be used for calculations into the trillions and kids enjoy learning on it because it's like a game.‘It becomes a playing tool for younger children, for it feels like a game. I think the success comes because children can touch and feel an abacus and visualize them.' She added." IT专家Mantri博士说，简单的算盘可以用来计算万亿，孩子们喜欢学习它，因为它就像一个游戏。"对于年幼的孩子来说，它变成了一个游戏工具，因为它感觉像一个游戏。我认为成功的原因在于孩子们可以触摸和感觉算盘，并将其形象化。"她补充道。可知，孩子喜欢用算盘学习是因为它就像一个游戏，对孩子来说有吸引力。故选A。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"I don't think my teachers would have guessed that I would be following a career in data science at that time."我认为我的老师当时不会想到我会从事数据科学的职业。可知，Dhruv的职业选择超出了老师的预期。故选D。
三、C
You lean back from the dinner table, feeling like you physically couldn't fit another bite. But then someone offers pie and you just can't say no. Scientists have now identified the neurons (神经元) behind the "dessert stomach" phenomenon.
In their study, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research found that mice kept eating sugar even when they should have felt full. Investigations of their brains showed that a group of nerve cells, known as the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, became active. These neurons release a chemical called β-endorphin, which acts like a natural reward and makes the mice feel good. As a result, they keep eating sugar despite feeling full. Interestingly, this effect only happens with sugar, not with other types of food like normal meals or fatty snacks.
In a follow-up experiment with humans, researchers gave volunteers a sugar drink and found that the same thing happens in the brain as with mice. This suggests that the "dessert stomach" is a real thing for both mice and humans.
Why does this happen According to Henning Fenselau, a scientist who led the study, this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Sugar is rare in nature but provides quick energy. Our brains are programmed to make us want to eat sugar whenever we find it. This might have been helpful in the past because of food shortage, but today it can lead to overeating and health problems.
The findings could shed light on treating obesity by providing a thorough understanding of the urge for sugar, and could even lead to potential medical solutions. Developing drugs to block the brain's reward system for sugar might help people control their cravings (渴望). Yet, it is too soon to say that the full picture has been drawn. Other studies have found that signals from your digestive system could influence why there always seems to be room for a dessert.
8．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A．By describing an eating behaviour.
B．By introducing a scientific study.
C．By defining a certain term.
D．By comparing different eating habits.
9．What is the main function of POMC neurons in the mice's brains
A．Telling the bodies the mice have eaten enough.
B．Managing the desire for fatty and salty foods.
C．Creating a reward system to encourage dieting.
D．Producing a chemical linked to positive emotions.
10．Why does the author mention that "sugar is rare in nature" in paragraph 4
A．To blame modern food production for health issues.
B．To explain the evolutionary basis of sugar cravings.
C．To compare natural sugar with artificial sugar.
D．To warn people about eating too much sugar.
11．What is suggested in the last paragraph
A．Sugar-blocking drugs should be sold on stores right now.
B．Brain activities alone could determine dessert cravings.
C．More research is needed before the application of the study.
D．Cravings for sugar only occurred in modern times.

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；说明文；科普类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家发现了"甜点胃"现象背后的神经机制：POMC神经元在摄入糖分时被激活，释放β-内啡肽作为天然奖励，使人即使已经吃饱仍想继续吃甜食。这一发现为治疗肥胖和控制糖瘾提供了新方向。
【点评】考查阅读理解，本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
8．推理判断题。根据第一段"You lean back from the dinner table, feeling like you physically couldn't fit another bite. But then someone offers pie and you just can't say no. Scientists have now identified the neurons (神经元) behind the "dessert stomach" phenomenon."你从餐桌上向后靠，感觉自己再也吃不下一口了。但如果有人请你吃派，你就不能拒绝。科学家们现在已经确定了"甜点胃"现象背后的神经元。可知，作者通过描述"饱餐后仍无法拒绝甜点"这一具体饮食行为引入主题。故选A。
9．细节理解题。根据第二段中的"These neurons release a chemical called β-endorphin, which acts like a natural reward and makes the mice feel good."这些神经元释放出一种叫做β-内啡肽的化学物质，它就像一种自然的奖励，让老鼠感觉良好。可知，POMC神经元的主要功能是释放与积极情绪相关的化学物质β-内啡肽。故选D。
10．推理判断题。根据第四段中的"According to Henning Fenselau, a scientist who led the study, this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Sugar is rare in nature but provides quick energy."领导这项研究的科学家Henning Fenselau表示，从进化的角度来看，这是有道理的。糖在自然界中很罕见，但能快速提供能量。可知，作者提到"自然界中糖分稀少"是为了从进化角度解释人类对糖的渴望。故选B。
11．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"Yet, it is too soon to say that the full picture has been drawn. Other studies have found that signals from your digestive system could influence why there always seems to be room for a dessert."然而，现在说事情的全貌已经被描绘出来还为时过早。其他研究发现，消化系统发出的信号可能会影响你为什么总是有吃甜点的空间。可知，研究尚未完全明确，需进一步探索。即在应用这项研究之前还需要更多的研究。故选C。
四、D
What if everything happens for a reason It's a theory that we've all heard more than once. And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.
We've all been there. Say you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory, this single, tiny inconvenience is enough to have a domino effect (多米诺效应). Your morning is then pushed back by what, maybe three to five minutes Perhaps that is enough time to leave the house a little bit later than usual, and to avoid getting in a car accident. Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you'd really rather avoid.
In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us. It prevents us from thinking over something that isn't really all that bad in the grand perspective of things and encourages us to make meaning of challenges we may experience, thus making us more adaptive to the future setbacks. The next time you feel yourself becoming annoyed or frustrated by an inconvenience in your life, try reshaping your thoughts by telling yourself why you're grateful for the inconvenience.
While maintaining a positive mindset can go a long way, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile.
12．What may be a case of the burnt toast theory
A．Gaining rewards after paying efforts.
B．Losing a job after forgetting to set an alarm.
C．Meeting a future employer after missing a flight.
D．Mending friendship after clearing misunderstandings.
13．What is the result of applying the burnt toast theory according to paragraph 3
A．Better judgement on fears.
B．Richer experience from failures.
C．The removal of daily inconveniences.
D．The harvest of a positive mindset.
14．Which aspect of the theory does the last paragraph focus on
A．Would-be projects. B．Real-world applications.
C．Potential weaknesses. D．Practical advantages.
15．What is probably the best title of the text
A．Less Is More B．Make a Lemon Lemonade
C．Once Bitten, Twice Shy D．Better Late Than Never
【答案】12．C
13．D
14．C
15．B
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；科普类；议论文；标题选择
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了"烤焦面包理论"这一现代生活哲学，主张日常小麻烦（如烤焦面包）可能蕴含更大意义，鼓励人们以积极视角重新解读不顺，将其视为避免更大危机或转变机遇的契机。这种思维转换有助于缓解焦虑、增强适应力，但需警惕过度乐观导致的情感回避——真正的成长需在接纳负面情绪与保持积极心态间寻求平衡。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。

Or it might mean you end up getting a later train, and avoid bumping into someone who you'd really rather avoid."也许这足够让你比平时晚一点出门，从而避免了一场车祸。或者这意味着你赶上了稍晚的火车，避开了一个你宁愿避开的人。可知，错过航班后遇到未来雇主是符合该理论的案例。故选C。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中的"In other words, the burnt toast theory is a reminder to shift your thinking pattern. When we choose to view the world in a more positive light, we can help to reduce feelings of anxiety, and release our fear of being out of control of the world around us."换句话说，烧焦面包理论提醒我们要转变思维方式。当我们选择以更积极的态度看待世界时，我们可以帮助减轻焦虑感，并释放对周围世界失控的恐惧。可知，烧焦面包理论提醒我们要转变思维方式，用更积极的态度看世界。因此应用该理论的结果是收获积极心态。故选D。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段"While maintaining a positive mindset can go a long way, burnt toast theory is not without its drawbacks. Be mindful that only allowing yourself to focus on positive thoughts can mean that you are denying yourself the chance to properly engage with challenging or difficult emotions, instead focusing on creating a false positive profile."虽然保持积极的心态可以走得很远，但烧焦面包理论并非没有缺点。要注意，只允许自己专注于积极的想法可能意味着你正在剥夺自己正确面对挑战或困难情绪的机会，而是专注于创造一个虚假的积极形象。可知，烧焦面包理论并非没有缺点，进而分析了其危害，可推知，最后一段聚焦于该理论的潜在弱点。故选C。
15．标题归纳题。根据第一段"What if everything happens for a reason It's a theory that we've all heard more than once. And in many ways, burnt toast theory can be seen as a modern take on this classic idea, implying that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason."如果每件事的发生都有其原因呢？这是一个我们都不止一次听过的理论。在许多方面，"烧焦面包理论"可以被视为这一经典思想的现代诠释，暗示我们在日常生活中遇到的每一个小麻烦都可能是出于某种更大的原因。可知，全文围绕"烧焦的面包理论"展开，强调通过积极视角看待生活中的不便，将挑战转化为机遇，同时指出其潜在的局限性。"化挫折为机遇"适合作为标题。故选B。

The solution to any despair might be hope, experts say. It's believing in a brighter future and acting towards it.　16． 　 Here are strategies that can help cultivate hope. As Hellman, an assistant professor of psychology at Suffolk University in Boston, points out, "Hope begets hope, and it has such a significant protective factor."
　17． 　 Make it a point to always be working toward at least one goal that's meaningful, Hellman advises. In other words, it shouldn't be something you have to do but something you want to do. "Goals can be anything that's important to us," he says.
Brainstorm solutions. If you've set a goal that's meaningful to you, but you can't figure out a way to achieve it, you'll probably feel pretty hopeless. People who are high in hope, meanwhile, tend to generate lots of ways.　18． 　 If you're struggling to make a plan, Hellman suggests sitting down with a pen and paper and giving yourself an hour to brainstorm solutions.
Seek out success stories. It's said that people cultivate hope by seeking support from their parents and specific teachers. But they also got a lot out of learning about other people who have done well for themselves. Hellman says, "　19． 　"
Tap into your imagination. Hellman thinks of imagination as "the instrument of hope". Let's say you set a goal for the week. Spend a few minutes reflecting on or talking about what would happen if you achieved it. "How does it impact you, or how would it benefit others " he says. "　20． 　 And when you can see yourself in the future, that is the very essence of hope."
A. Do something meaningful.
B. It can be taught and nurtured.
C. Think in a goal-oriented way.

Some books are even damaged.

九、第二节（满分25分）
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。
The old workshop door creaked open. Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather's rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg.
The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February's page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. "This might help him," she thought, eager to show how skilled he was.
However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. "Old ways for a dying business!" "No wonder the business is failing!" Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days.
"Want to see my treasure " Grandpa' s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly.
"Timmy, my former student," Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. "Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month's newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon." He tapped the photo, adding, "Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories."
Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy's smile, and Grandpa's young handwriting on the back: Timmy's first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. "Stories must be told," Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右;

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album's sketches of Timmy's curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, "Hands remember stories machines forget." By noon, comments exploded, "Hands of a legend!" "Need this magic in my home!" Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, "I'm coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!" Her eyes widened at Timmy's profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.
A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. "Your spoon taught me curves have souls," he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book's empty February page now filled with March's growing demands.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，本文 讲述了 Clara 的祖父经营的手工坊生意惨淡，Clara 首次上传祖父工作视频遭负面评价后删除。祖父向她展示了皮革相册里学生 Timmy 的相关物品，讲述 Timmy 受自己影响成为著名家具设计师的故事，Clara 决定再次拍摄视频，这次要分享手工背后的故事 。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"第二天早上，Clara上传了一个新视频。"可知，第一段可描述新视频的内容，如视频里展现了祖父的哪些故事和技艺，以及该视频发布后在网络上引发的反应，包括网友的评论、分享量等情况；②由第二段首句内容"一周后，蒂米走进了工作室，他现在已经是一位著名的家具设计师了。"可知，第二段可描写Timmy 来到工作室后的情节展开，如他与祖父的互动，他们之间的对话、情感交流，以及他们共同做了什么事情，最终对工作室产生了怎样的影响。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】该故事从 Clara 发布负面评论的视频开始，到她受到启发重新拍摄视频并成功，再到 Timmy 的回归，情节发展自然流畅，情感转折合理。读者能够感受到 Clara 从失败到成功的心理变化，以及 Grandfather 和 Timmy 之间深厚的情感纽带。作者运用了丰富的细节描写，如"wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight"（在阳光下闪闪发光的刨花）、"His hands were gluing a maple chair leg"（他的手正在粘枫木椅腿）等，使读者能够身临其境地感受到故事场景。通过人物的语言和动作描写，如"Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo"（Grandfather 微笑着，触摸着照片中勺子的曲线）、"He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening"（他拥抱了 Grandfather，泪水闪烁）等，传达了人物之间的深厚情感。故事以 Timmy 的回归和工作室的复苏作为结尾，给读者留下了美好的印象。这种圆满的结局不仅符合读者的期待，也强化了故事的主题。
