Oregon forests were the playground of my childhood, and our house there had a wide wraparound porch that started from the front door and finally extended the entire length of the back of the house. That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods.
This was, I think, the beginning of my fascination with the front porch. If a house is a place where we learn to create a home, then a front porch is an in-between space, a borderland that lets us keep some things at arm’s length, while inviting other things close, a place that is at once public and private.
I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life.
However, when did the front porch begin to disappear When did we retreat inside, each confined to our own spaces, with no care for what was happening outside our front doors It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected.
When I investigate community care and mutual aid, I am surprised by the types of actions that are suggested for those looking to build stronger communities. An incomplete list: get to know your neighbors, socialize with those who live nearby, share childcare duties, teach one another new skills.
You see, we’ve always known how to do this work. It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch.
4. What was the porch like in the author’s childhood memories
A. A family-only reunion spot. B. A quiet corner for reading stories.
C. A lively center of social activities. D. An occasion-specific party place.
5. Why does the author mention her grandmother and neighbors in paragraph 3
A. To recall previous porch-events. B. To show porch activities as daily life.
C. To highlight the porch’s decline. D. To stress the close family relationship.
6. What led to the disappearance of front porches
A. A link to weaker community ties. B. A reflection of improved lifestyles.
C. A result of limited housing space. D. A shift toward indoor entertainment.
7. What message does the passage convey
A. The unavoidable decline of face-to-face interactions.
B. The necessity of formal events for neighborhood ties.
C. The insignificance of porches in modern community building.
D. The power of simple daily acts in fostering community bonds.

C
In the era of the internet, AI, smart homes and autonomous cars, there’s one thing we just can’t stop producing data. We are expected to generate 394 trillion zettabytes of the stuff every year by 2028, according to the analyst company IDC. Every time we watch a YouTube video, send an email, or ask an AI chatbot a question — data is created. Although data seems invisible, it is processed and housed in physical places — data centers, for which demand is now proving unsatisfiable.
The problem of storing this rapidly growing data has inspired novel solutions. One such approach is “memory crystals,” developed by Peter Kazansky, a researcher from Kyoto University. By burning tiny perforations into the glass, data can be encoded in five dimensions, using differences in light orientation, strength, and spatial position (individual 3D pixels with x, y, z coordinates). This method allows for extremely high density, with up to 360 TB stored on a 5-inch glass disk.
Another promising solution is DNA storage, first proposed by Soviet physicist Mikhail Samoilovich Neiman. In this method, digital data is mapped onto DNA’s four bases (A, T, C, and G), represented as 01, 00, 11, and 10, creating a physical form of data. A favorite line among DNA data storage researchers is that “you could store all of the data in the world in a teaspoon.” But its practical application still faces hurdles, especially in terms of cost and data access efficiency.
Heinis, a professor in data management at Imperial College London, says: “Kazansky’s ‘memory crystals’ is a direct competitor to DNA storage. But DNA might have an edge for we will always be able to read DNA, due to its wide-ranging medical applications. With other technologies, like ‘memory crystals’, the question is how long the read device will be around.”
Of course, solving the long-term data storage problem is an important part of the solution to energy-guzzling data centers. But do we really need all the data that we produce
8. What problem does the author point out in paragraph 1
A. The rapid growth of global data production.
B. The rising demand for automated equipment.
C. The efficiency of data-processing technologies.
D. The challenge of storing the ever-growing data.
9. What gives memory crystals their high data density
A. Heat-resistant glass. B. Computer-controlled drilling.
C. High-intensity light. D. Multi-dimensional encoding.
10. What can be inferred from Heinis’s words
A. DNA storage has stronger reliability.
B. DNA storage keeps larger data storage capacity.
C. DNA storage owns a wider range of application.
D. DNA storage will soon replace memory crystals.
11. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph
A. Reduce data center noise. B. Cut data centers’ energy use.
C. Stop over-storage of data. D. Upgrade storage technology.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
D
Let’s say we have Person A, B, and C. They don’t know each other, but all are friends with Person D who is highly sociable — sincere, yet so flooded with dates. D makes you feel like the center of attention one moment, and unintentionally disposable the next, because you know, they have a lot going on.
Here’s the plot twist: A, B, and C all see themselves as the least socially connected. Why They only compare themselves to the highly-visible D. Greater visibility doesn’t necessarily reflect what’s typical or average. This is the Friendship Paradox, observed by sociologist Scott L. Feld in 1991: on average, your friends have more friends than you. Not because you’re unpleasant, but because they tend to collect friends.
Imagine social networks like nodes (节点) on a graph. Highly connected individuals like D are central nodes, appearing in more social circles and standing out. More outgoing, they tend to share adventures or be annoying on social media. You take them for the norm, but they are the exception.
Here’s the best part — comparing yourself to these highly visible people makes you feel inferior: less socializing, less invited, just not enough. Social comparison is a deeply human nature, but when fed by algorithms (算法) and polished selfies, it goes full Black Mirror. Psychologist Leon Festinger proposed the social comparison theory in the 1950s, suggesting that people determine their self-worth by comparing with others. The harm is obvious — the option to hide like counts is pretty self-explanatory.
Here’s the emotional cost: You, quietly folding laundry in silence on a Friday night, believe you’re the only one not at a rooftop party. But the truth is, most people are more like Person A, B, C — less visible than D, living at a less photogenic angle. It’s completely normal.
So next time you’re wondering why others seem more connected, invited, and adored — remember the paradox. You’re comparing yourself to the most visible person, not the average. You’re not behind, you’re just looking at a distorted mirror. Zoom out. Breathe in. Text one of your friends. Chances are, they’re folding laundry too.
12. Why does the author use the A, B, C, D example in paragraph 1
A. To demonstrate the value of social circles.
B. To clarify the uniqueness of sociable people.
C. To explain a misjudgment in social relations.
D. To emphasize the difficulty of making friends.
13. What does the underlined phrase “go full Black Mirror” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Lead to a positive outcome. B. Turn into something disturbing.
C. Become a common social habit. D. Reflect a normal human nature.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards people who live “at a less photogenic angle”
A. Accepting. B. Admiring. C. Worried. D. Critical.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How You Can Stop Self-Comparison. B. Why Others Seem More Popular.
C. How Social Media Poses a Hidden Danger. D. Why Being Less Visible Is a Problem.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever taken a personality test If you’re like me, you’ve consulted BuzzFeed to discover which Taylor Swift song perfectly matches your soul. ______16______ But even some “serious” personality tests used to guide educational and career choices are also problematic. They assume your personality is fixed — implying you’re forever stuck with the personality you’re born with.
But modern personality research suggests that personality can and does change over time. ______17______ If you shift your mindset to believe that “being on time shows respect”, take pride in arriving early, and develop consistent habits like setting an alarm, you are changing. If you maintain these changes in your thoughts, emotions and behaviors over time — voila! — you are reliable. Personality: changed.
Data confirms this idea. Generally, personality changes across a person’s life span. As people age, they tend to experience fewer negative emotions and more positive ones. They are more responsible, more positive, and are less judgmental of others. ______18______ You can accelerate this transformation through intentional cognitive-behavioral changes.
First, you must examine your thinking patterns. For example, if you believe that “people only care about themselves,” you are more likely to act defensively. This leads to the second step: changing your behavior. If you are always defensive, others might snap at you or walk away. This only confirms your belief that you can’t trust others. ______19______ If you try behaving more openly — perhaps sharing your difficulties with a co-worker — you may see that they respond with kindness. This positive experience helps change your outlook.
In the end, these strategies work because your personality is simply your usual way of thinking and acting. ______20______
A. To break this cycle, try a new response.
B. But you don’t have to wait for time to do the work.
C. Suppose, for instance, you’re not super dependable.
D. It might be obvious that such quizzes are not scientific.
E. Some people change a lot and some people hold pretty steady.
F. You may believe they describe you accurately, even when they don’t.
G. By making small, daily changes, you can craft the personality you desire.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. A 20. G

A “Growing” Problem on Campus
Our school’s labor practice base has long been left idle. The fields are overgrown with weeds, and the facilities there are rarely used. It is such a good resource that it’s a real pity to let it go to waste.
To make full use of the base, I have some suggestions. First, let classes take charge of different areas to grow vegetables and flowers. Second, organize regular labor activities for students to learn farming skills. Besides, we can hold planting competitions to raise students’ interest.
I hope the base can serve us well and help develop our spirit of labor.

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。
It was early May, my first day as a volunteer groundskeeper for a senior housing complex. I had agreed on one condition: I wouldn’t have to deal with people.
I was trimming (修剪) weeds when a group of ladies gestured me to stop. “Stay away from our flower bed,” one woman said, wagging her finger at me. I nodded and went back to work. Did they think I was stupid “Watch out for my raspberry plants by the fence,” another said, “I put signs by them.” Seriously I gave them a thumbs-up and started the trimmer before anyone else could cut in. Next time, I’d work at lunch, when these busybodies would be inside eating.
At dinner, I complained to my wife: “I wish the residents would leave me alone.” “Paul, you sound more like a grouchkeeper (抱怨者) than a groundskeeper,” Debby said, laughing. “It’s their home. Of course, they have strong feelings about it.” “They can keep their feelings to themselves,” I said.
The next day, I found the flower ladies waiting. “We told you to be careful around our flower bed,” the finger wagger said, pointing at a patch of green I’d cut. “And the fence,” another added. “Oops, I thought those were weeds,” I said. They spun on their heels and walked off, muttering.
I checked the fence and saw the remains of raspberry seedlings. Not bushes. How was I supposed to see them Where were the signs they’d posted A few feet away, I spied two twisted straws with paper taped to them. “Raspberry Plant” was written neatly on the paper. My heart sank. I’d made a mess of things already. But I didn’t apologize. That would have meant more interaction. Instead, I just avoided them.
I tried to shrug off the guilt, yet each time I passed the flower bed or the fence, a small weight settled in my chest. Summer came. I was glad when it got hot. People stayed inside, and I could work uninterrupted — until a storm brought down trees and power lines.
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。

【参考范文】
I had a lot of cleanup to do. The storm had turned the complex into a battlefield of fallen branches. While dragging branches aside, I saw the “flower ladies” struggling with a heavy limb over their buried raspberry patch, their hands trembling. I almost turned away, as usual, but the sight of those straw signs — now soaked and broken — stopped me cold. I hesitated, then stepped forward with my trimmer. “Let me help,” I muttered, carefully cutting away the wreckage. Under the branches, raspberry seedlings lay in wet soil. “They are still alive!” the finger wagger exclaimed, popping a thumbs-up. As the whole garden came back into shape, everything seemed to take on a new look.
Something seemed to be changing in me, too. The “grouchkeeper” I had built up was gone. That evening, instead of complaining to Debby, I told her the story of the “Great Raspberry Rescue of 2026” and my plan to make proper wooden signs for the berries. I stopped seeing the ladies as “busybodies” but as neighbors whose lives were woven into the soil I tended. Chats about how to protect the garden from future storms replaced my usual search for an exit. By trading silence for conversation, I realized that a good groundskeeper doesn’t just tend the soil but also the people who care for it, through listening, talking, and understanding.浙江金华义乌市、绍兴柯桥区2026年5月浙江省

Psychologist Leon Festinger proposed the social comparison theory in the 1950s, suggesting that people determine their self-worth by comparing with others. The harm is obvious — the option to hide like counts is pretty self-explanatory.
Here’s the emotional cost: You, quietly folding laundry in silence on a Friday night, believe you’re the only one not at a rooftop party. But the truth is, most people are more like Person A, B, C — less visible than D, living at a less photogenic angle. It’s completely normal.
So next time you’re wondering why others seem more connected, invited, and adored — remember the paradox. You’re comparing yourself to the most visible person, not the average. You’re not behind, you’re just looking at a distorted mirror. Zoom out. Breathe in. Text one of your friends. Chances are, they’re folding laundry too.
12. Why does the author use the A, B, C, D example in paragraph 1
A. To demonstrate the value of social circles.
B. To clarify the uniqueness of sociable people.
C. To explain a misjudgment in social relations.
D. To emphasize the difficulty of making friends.
13. What does the underlined phrase “go full Black Mirror” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Lead to a positive outcome. B. Turn into something disturbing.
C. Become a common social habit. D. Reflect a normal human nature.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards people who live “at a less photogenic angle”
A. Accepting. B. Admiring. C. Worried. D. Critical.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How You Can Stop Self-Comparison. B. Why Others Seem More Popular.
C. How Social Media Poses a Hidden Danger. D. Why Being Less Visible Is a Problem.

Have you ever taken a personality test If you’re like me, you’ve consulted BuzzFeed to discover which Taylor Swift song perfectly matches your soul. ______16______ But even some “serious” personality tests used to guide educational and career choices are also problematic. They assume your personality is fixed — implying you’re forever stuck with the personality you’re born with.
But modern personality research suggests that personality can and does change over time. ______17______ If you shift your mindset to believe that “being on time shows respect”, take pride in arriving early, and develop consistent habits like setting an alarm, you are changing. If you maintain these changes in your thoughts, emotions and behaviors over time — voila! — you are reliable. Personality: changed.
Data confirms this idea. Generally, personality changes across a person’s life span. As people age, they tend to experience fewer negative emotions and more positive ones. They are more responsible, more positive, and are less judgmental of others. ______18______ You can accelerate this transformation through intentional cognitive-behavioral changes.
First, you must examine your thinking patterns. For example, if you believe that “people only care about themselves,” you are more likely to act defensively. This leads to the second step: changing your behavior. If you are always defensive, others might snap at you or walk away. This only confirms your belief that you can’t trust others. ______19______ If you try behaving more openly — perhaps sharing your difficulties with a co-worker — you may see that they respond with kindness. This positive experience helps change your outlook.
In the end, these strategies work because your personality is simply your usual way of thinking and acting. ______20______
A. To break this cycle, try a new response.
B. But you don’t have to wait for time to do the work.
C. Suppose, for instance, you’re not super dependable.
D. It might be obvious that such quizzes are not scientific.
E. Some people change a lot and some people hold pretty steady.
F. You may believe they describe you accurately, even when they don’t.
G. By making small, daily changes, you can craft the personality you desire.

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。
It was early May, my first day as a volunteer groundskeeper for a senior housing complex. I had agreed on one condition: I wouldn’t have to deal with people.
I was trimming (修剪) weeds when a group of ladies gestured me to stop. “Stay away from our flower bed,” one woman said, wagging her finger at me. I nodded and went back to work. Did they think I was stupid “Watch out for my raspberry plants by the fence,” another said, “I put signs by them.” Seriously I gave them a thumbs-up and started the trimmer before anyone else could cut in. Next time, I’d work at lunch, when these busybodies would be inside eating.
At dinner, I complained to my wife: “I wish the residents would leave me alone.” “Paul, you sound more like a grouchkeeper (抱怨者) than a groundskeeper,” Debby said, laughing. “It’s their home. Of course, they have strong feelings about it.” “They can keep their feelings to themselves,” I said.
The next day, I found the flower ladies waiting. “We told you to be careful around our flower bed,” the finger wagger said, pointing at a patch of green I’d cut. “And the fence,” another added. “Oops, I thought those were weeds,” I said. They spun on their heels and walked off, muttering.
I checked the fence and saw the remains of raspberry seedlings. Not bushes. How was I supposed to see them Where were the signs they’d posted A few feet away, I spied two twisted straws with paper taped to them. “Raspberry Plant” was written neatly on the paper. My heart sank. I’d made a mess of things already. But I didn’t apologize. That would have meant more interaction. Instead, I just avoided them.
I tried to shrug off the guilt, yet each time I passed the flower bed or the fence, a small weight settled in my chest. Summer came. I was glad when it got hot. People stayed inside, and I could work uninterrupted — until a storm brought down trees and power lines.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
