When I was teaching indoor cycling every week, an unexpected benefit was free homemade ice cream. One of the class regulars had a machine at home and often brought samples for me to try, in flavors like pumpkin and pistachio. I think he did this because in class, I was the nicest version of myself: warm, welcoming, and encouraging, despite my usual sarcastic(挖苦的) tendencies.
I noticed this friendliness in others too. Two people who met in my class started going skiing together. Strangers who became friends there went out for post-workout coffees. Many of the good friends I have at age 35 are people I met in exercise classes I attended regularly. These experiences have convinced me that group fitness classes are the best place to make friends as an adult.
Once, countless friendships were born in "third places"—physical spaces that aren’t a home or a workplace, like bars and cafe. Over the past several decades, though, they have begun playing a much smaller role in social life. Group fitness classes don’t exactly fit the definition of a third place because they cost money. But they fulfill many conditions that help forge meaningful connections between strangers: proximity (being in the same place), ritual (at the same time, over and over), and shared experiences.
Sussing out(推断)shared interests can be horribly awkward when you meet someone new at work. Group fitness classes make it a little easier. "Automatically, when you walk into a fitness class, you likely are sharing the idea that 'We like to exercise,'" says Stephanie, an athlete psychotherapist. "It breaks the ice differently."
Of course, breaking the ice still requires someone to say something. One simple tactic(策略) has never failed me: I simply walk up to someone after class and say, "Hey, good job!"
Exercising with others promotes close relationships. Perhaps you’ll even become the version of yourself who inspires people to bring you homemade ice cream. Win-win.
24. Why did the regular member bring the author ice cream
A. To show off a machine. B. To reward the author’s warmth.
C. To praise a unique flavor. D. To welcome a new coach.
25. What do we know about group fitness classes from Paragraph 3
A. They are totally free. B. They are disappearing.
C. They help strangers bond. D. They are traditional third places.
26. What does the author usually do to break the ice
A. Give a post-class compliment. B. Invite classmates to go skiing.
C. Hide her sarcastic nature. D. Buy others workout drinks.
27. Where is the text probably from
A. A study on social habits. B. A gym's promotional brochure.
C. A lifestyle and relationships magazine. D. A medical report on physical health.
C
I need a new phone. Like many of us with older model iPhones, my battery life is just a few hours and I’ve stopped updating the operating system to extend the phone’s life. But I’m having a tough time making the final decision. It’s not the cost. It’s not the inconvenience either. It’s the environment.
Making smartphones, laptops, and other tech products takes a lot of resources. This is partly due to the carbon emissions from the producing process. Still, the most negative impact comes from the mining of the rare earth metals that make your phone work. If you’re reading this on your phone right now, you’re holding about 0.034 grams of gold, 0.34 grams of silver, and smaller amounts of other rare elements. These are tiny amounts, but consider the demand for smartphones around the world.
All of these rare elements have to be mined from inside the Earth, in places like China and some African countries. Mining is hugely environmentally destructive: forests are destroyed, the ground is disturbed, and water quality in the area takes a dive.
Now take these environmental risks, and combine them with the fact that the average lifespan (使用寿命) of a smartphone is just two years, the length of your contract with your cell phone company. After that, if you’re lucky, you get a “free” upgrade. Awesome, right Sure, if you ignore the fact that the environmental impact of a new phone is about the same as using your old one for a decade.
It’s nearly impossible to live in the 21st century without contributing to the destruction of the environment and climate change. I am guilty as well—eat meat and occasionally fly. But that doesn’t mean that we should stop trying to do better, or ignore the consequences of our actions. I urge you to think carefully about your next smartphone purchase no matter what those Black Friday ads may be trying to tell you.
28. What does the author’s final decision refer to
A. Going ahead with getting a new phone.
B. Taking action to help reduce pollution.
C. Updating your phone’s operating system.
D. Raising money for anew smartphone.
29. Why does the author list specific numbers in paragraph 2
A. To reveal the consequences of making smartphones.
B. To analyze the causes of making new smartphones.
C. To emphasize the huge demand for smartphones.
D. To provide solutions to cutting smartphone use.
30. What message does the author convey in paragraph 4
A. It is economical to upgrade your device.
B. The lifespan of smartphones is narrowed.
C. The upgrade comes at the expense of the environment.
D. Signing a contract spares users from economic pressure.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To push for environmentally friendly smartphones.
B. To discourage businesses from making smartphones.
C. To advise readers not to change smartphones often.
D. To demonstrate the negative effects of smartphones.
D
Experts used to believe that people assess risk like actuaries (精算师), figuring out cost-benefit analyses every time a car came too close or local crime rates rose. But a wave of psychological experiments in the1980s denied this thinking.
Researchers found that people use a set of mental shortcuts for measuring danger. And they tend to do it unconsciously, meaning that instinct (直觉) can play a much larger role than they realize. Ideally, these shortcuts help people figure out which ones to worry about and which to disregard. But they can be imperfect.
When you encounter a potential risk, your brain does a quick search for past experiences with it. If it can easily pull up multiple alarming memories, then your brain concludes the danger is high. But it often fails to assess whether those memories are truly representative.
A classic example is airplane crashes. If two happen continuously, flying suddenly feels scarier—even if your conscious mind knows that those crashes are a statistical aberration (统计异常)with little influence on the safety of your next flight. But if you then take a few flights and nothing goes wrong, your brain will most likely start telling you again that flying is safe.
That tendency can cut in both directions, leading to either alarm or complacency (自大).Though flu kills tens of thousands of Americans every year, most peoples’ experiences with it are relatively ordinary. “We’re conditioned by our experiences,” said Paul Slovic, a University of Oregon psychologist. “But experience can mislead us to be too comfortable with things. We are also conditioned to focus heavily on new threats, looking for any cause for alarm.”
Maybe the most powerful shortcut of all is emotion. Our brains translate emotional reactions into what we believe are reasoned conclusions, even if hard data tells us otherwise. The world in our heads is not a precise copy of reality. Our expectations about frequency of events are misinterpreted by the popularity and emotional intensity of the messages to which we are exposed.
32. What does the underlined word “disregard” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Fear. B. Ignore. C. Support. D. Prevent.
33. Why does the author give an example of airplane crashes
A. To demonstrate how to take a shortcut.
B. To emphasize the importance of experience.
C. To prove people are good at measuring risks.
D. To explain memories can be misleading.
34. What makes mental shortcut imperfect
A. Representative memories.
B. Reasoned conclusions.
C. Scary reports.
D. Misinterpreted messages.
35. Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A. How we stick to our beliefs
B. How our brains evaluate threat
C. How our past experiences shape us
D. How we make our best choices

阅读下面短文，从短文后的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。
Do you want to develop children’s critical thinking and moral courage rather than blind obedience(顺从) 36
Take kids seriously. When a child pushes back on a rule or decision, avoid responding with authority alone. If you instead ask them to explain their reasoning and engage them in conversation, you’ll signal that their thinking matters. 37 But sometimes you may indeed be convinced—which will help demonstrate to the child that persuasion can be more effective than anger.
Let them be right sometimes. When a child points out that you said something unfair or that you didn’t follow through on a promise—and they’re correct—say so. Kids who learn that honest pushback(反对) can change things will keep doing it. We should want kids to grow into the type of adult who will call out injustice, and who will work to set things right. 38
Distinguish between disagreement and disrespect. A child who says, "I don’t think that’s fair, and here’s why" is doing something different from one who says, "I hate you, and this is the worst family." The former deserves a conversation. 39 If you don’t make the distinction, you’re teaching the child that the problem was the disagreement itself.
40 Do you praise a child when they show integrity When they refuse to go along with something they think is wrong, even at social cost When they ask the question in class that no one else will These moments are worth celebrating. Principled disagreement, expressed with respect, can be hard and uncomfortable to communicate. Therefore, children need to know that you see it and value it.
A. Notice what you reward.
B. We should encourage children to argue at every single turn.
C. You may not end up changing your mind after hearing their reasons.
D. Instead, you should demand they listen to you carefully.
E. The latter probably needs a consequence.
F. Those who learn that speaking up changes nothing will stop.
G. Here are four practical things adults can do in daily education.

The schools in Massachusetts were thought as the best in the country. And an Olympic size swimming pool was the 41 . But it wasn’t for me.
I was quite 42 in regular classes and sat in the back so I’d not be 43 to read. Each Monday I would work my way to the back of the 44 forming at the diving board so I would not have to practice the dives.

As I watched, each student seemed to perform the dive 47 . They just jumped at the end of the board once, added a jump for 48 , folded her body in half, and finally 49 out like an arrow for entry into the water.
I think I was actually in a state of 50 , because all of a sudden I saw these four steps as 51 . Then it was my turn. With my heart 52 , I barely finished as I had 53 in my mind. Though I received an average grade that day, I was 54 with it. It was awesome to think that I just learned my first dive; 55 , I believed whatever I met in the future, I would give a try first.

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。
Joanne Appelbee and her three children were holidaying at Quindalup, Western Australia. On a Friday morning, they set out from the beach on a kayak (皮划艇) and paddleboards (桨板) in seemingly calm and peaceful conditions. The water looked smooth, and the weather seemed safe enough for a short trip. They planned to be out for only an hour, leaving their picnic rug(毯子) and water on the beach.
However, the sea suddenly became rough around midday. Without warning, strong winds arrived and the waves quickly grew larger. Their kayak flipped over(快速翻转) and began to take on water, and the family found themselves being pushed further out to sea. The situation became more and more dangerous as they struggled to stay together in the rising waves. Facing the emergency, Joanne had to make a heartbreaking decision. She turned to her 13-year-old son, Austin, and said, “Try to get to shore and get help. This could get serious very quickly.” She knew Austin was the strongest swimmer, yet sending him alone into the rough ocean was extremely frightening.
Austin first tried to stay with the kayak and paddle it back, but it kept filling with water and slowing him down. Realizing it would not help, he made a brave decision to leave both the kayak and his life jacket behind, which he felt was blocking his movement in the water. “Just keep swimming, just keep swimming,” he repeated to himself, trying to stay calm and focus on reaching land. He swam through the rough sea for hours, fighting exhaustion and cold waves. After a four-hour marathon swim, he finally reached the shore and collapsed on the sand from complete exhaustion.
Meanwhile, back in the ocean, the situation remained serious. As the sun began to set, Joanne, Beau, and Grace were still drifting(漂泊) about 14 kilometers offshore in the cold, choppy (波浪起伏的)water, waiting for help to arrive.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

第一节
Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to hear that you are worried about the new rule in Australia. I understand your feelings, and I’m glad to share my ideas with you.
Personally, I think this regulation is reasonable, as it is designed to protect teenagers from excessive exposure to social media and its potential negative effects, such as distraction and anxiety. Meanwhile, it can encourage us to devote more time to study, physical activities, and face-to-face communication, which are more beneficial for our growth.
As for me, I try to manage my screen time by setting daily limits and replacing online browsing with reading or exercise. I would suggest that you view social media as a tool rather than a necessity, and develop more offline interests to keep a balanced life.
If you have any other questions, feel free to write back.
Yours,
Li Hua

参考答案：
Strongly shaking, Austin struggled to get up and ran towards their accommodation. His legs felt like lead, and every muscle screamed in pain after the marathon swim. However, the image of his mother and siblings drifting in the dark sea pushed him forward. Reaching the room, he grabbed the phone and called emergency services. "I need helicopters and boats! My family is out at sea!" he cried. After giving a detailed description of their location, the "superhuman" boy collapsed onto the floor, praying that he was fast enough to save the lives that meant the world to him.
Out at sea, Joanne was mentally preparing for the end when she suddenly saw a light in the dark sky. It was the searchlight of a rescue helicopter! Hope surged through her freezing body as a rescue boat approached. Within minutes, the rescuers pulled Joanne and the two younger children safely onto the boat. The moment she stepped onto the deck, Joanne grabbed a rescuer’s arm and asked breathlessly, "My son Austin... did he make it to the shore "He is safe," the rescuer replied. "It was your son who swam for hours to get help and told us exactly where to find you." Hearing that, a wave of relief washed over Joanne, and she burst into tears. All her three children were safe, and that was all that mattered.
