My childhood was a painted picture of a sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon. It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin in the countryside, but I lived in my mother’s arms. They were so delicate but strong, and her red hair falling around me was like a curtain that separated me from the world.
Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren’t many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group.
They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.
My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged, time would stop, movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.
I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning. For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would pause, curl up, and then be forced back out into breathing air.
We should have known that it wouldn’t last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there’s something so tragic about growing up: your perspective on the people and life around you changes; you always struggle to reach a mirror, only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day and find a different person staring back out at you.
4. Why does the author describe his mother’s red hair as “a curtain that separated me from the world”
A. To show her artistic personality. B. To emphasize her protective presence.
C. To illustrate his fascination with colors. D. To reveal his fear of social interactions.
5. What does the underlined word “archaic” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. Old-fashioned. B. Time-honored.
C. Mountain-ringed. D. Poverty-stricken.
6. What does the lake symbolize in the author’s boyhood memories
A. A dangerous pause in time. B. A mirror reflecting adulthood.
C. A place of social restrictions. D. A temporary escape from reality.
7. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph
A. Struggle and challenge make a man grow up.
B. Childhood joy is completely erased by growth.
C. Growth often brings unavoidable self-reinvention.
D. The regret of growth is that people and life always change.
C
Bacteria (细菌) know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d truly prefer to settle, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed with tiny life.
Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction.
Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about
In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1 to 2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. “Having said that, there is a possibility that if you use a sponge to wipe up raw meat that you could have some of those disease-causing bacteria on there, and studies have found that those bacteria can be separated from kitchen sponges.”
This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen.
B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment.
C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria.
D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance.
9. What did Lingchong You find in his study
A. How sponges are exactly structured. B. What encourages bacterial growth.
C. How bacteria react to the environment. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other.
10. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges
A. Relatively harmless. B. Poorly adaptive.
C. Surprisingly unpleasant. D. Widely distributed.
11. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph
A. Proofs of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria.
C. Methods to control bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria.
D
Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism (机制) that helps us maintain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.
It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar choices as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.
It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a substantial dramatic (巨大而突然的) swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration is complete exposure to novelty (新奇的事物). While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.
So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead Familiarity is something we can learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lies to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable alternatives.
12. What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more
A. The familiarity principle. B. The advertising cost.
C. The improved service. D. The law of the market.
13. What can be learned from paragraph 2
A. Our preferences affect our decisions.
B. There can be a mismatch between desires and actions.
C. The familiarity principle is a double-edged sword.
D. Familiarity tends to generate disrespect.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles
A. Objective. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Tolerant.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Gently Expand Your Familiarity Zone B. Step Out Of Your Familiarity Zone
C. Spare A Thought For Your Preference D. Give Priority To The Mere Exposure Effect

The only bad thing about a good creative day is that it ends, with no guarantee of repeating that productivity tomorrow. ___16___ These methods not only prevent creative gaps but also help build a continuous rhythm, making inspiration less dependent on luck.
Ernest Hemingway had the smart trick of always calling it a day at a point when he knew what came next.
___17___ What a creative organizational tool! Knowing what comes next is like crocheting (钩针编织): The end of one day knits into the next, and you wind up with a garment (毛衣) that is flexible but strong.
___18___ Think about experienced stand-up comedians: they never perform until they’re totally tired. Instead, they end their shows when the audience is still begging for more. Apply this to your creative work: stop while you still have a little energy left. That unused fuel will become your perfect starting point tomorrow.
Try this simple exercise for a week: every day, end your working day when you still have something in reserve. ___19___ Is it a few half-formed ideas you haven’t explored yet Or a thought you wanted to share with someone but didn’t Write down exactly what it is on a small card, put the card away, and don’t think about it for the rest of the day. Start the next day by looking at your note.
Harry Truman had a wise habit: whenever he wrote a letter in anger, he’d put the letter away in a desk drawer for twenty-four hours before rereading it. ___20___ It’s the same with your note. When you look at it the next day, you’ll not only pick up yesterday’s reserve but also see room for improvement with a fresh mind.
A. He built himself a bridge to the next day.
B. Don’t push yourself to the point of total exhaustion.
C. This pause lets him check if his initial anger still holds.
D. Writing down ideas immediately helps avoid forgetting them.

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。
Maria and Peter lived in a coastal city. The greatest pleasure in summer for them was to swim at their local beach after school. But one day they started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters. More often than not, they would find plastic bags thrown on the beach. Worse sill, as they swam in the water, some plastic bags would float around them and even stick to their legs when they walked to the shore.
They were upset and decided something needed to be done to stop the beautiful sea becoming consumed by waste.One weekend,Maria and Peter brought a big bag to the beach and determined to clean it up. Sweat streamed down from their forehead while they bent down and picked up the plastic bags. To their disappointment, after a day’s hard work, there were still many plastic bags lying on the beach or floating in the water. Going home with aching legs and arms, Maria and Peter were almost defeated by a strong sense of failure.
That night over dinner with their parents, the pair ate silently. Noticing their low spirits, Mother asked gently, “You two looked so down. What happened ”Exchanging glances with Peter, Maria replied in a low voice,“It’s those annoying plastic bags. We tried to clean up but it was just impossible.”Understanding the pair’s disappointment, their father patted them on the back and comforted,”Well, it’s really hard for just two of you to fix such a big problem.”“Just two of us.”complained Maria and Peter, looking at each other.Suddenly, an idea lashed through their minds, their eyes shining with excitement.“Yes,that’s the point! We should make more people aware of the problem and encourage them to take action!” the pair said in chorus.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning.

【答案】Dear judges,
It is my great honor to give a speech.
I believe the saying “Smile for life, and every day will be sunshine” conveys a powerful truth: our attitude shapes our reality. A genuine smile reflects inner strength and optimism, helping us face challenges with courage and discover hope in ordinary moments.
Let me illustrate this with an example. Helen Keller, though blind and deaf, chose to embrace life with incredible positivity. Her famous words, “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow,” show how her optimistic spirit turned darkness into light.
Let us smile not just with our lips, but with our hearts. When we do so, every day truly becomes filled with sunshine. Thank you!
【答案】Quickly finishing their dinner, the pair went upstairs and started planning. Maria and Peter decided to take advantage of the Internet. “Maybe we can write an article to arouse people's awareness.” Maria proposed. “Good idea! We can also make a video!" Peter added. The next few hours witnessed their heated discussion and growing confidence in a clean and beautiful coast. The next day, they went to the beach and filmed a short video showing plastic bags lying on the beach and floating in the sea. Peter, who was good at writing, wrote an article talking about the present situation of the beach and asking people to take part in the clean-up.
Excited and nervous, they posted the video and article on WeChat. To their amazement, their post went viral online immediately. Countless comments flooded in saying how heartbroken they were when looking at the polluted beach and ocean. What amazed Maria and Peter more was that numerous people in their community, encouraged by their efforts, offered to join in their clean-up. More and more people came to the beach to collect plastic bags and they also appealed to others to avoid throwing or using plastic bags. A year later, with their joint and continuous effort, the coast regained its beauty and Maria and Peter regained their long-awaited pleasure.
