As a child, I was terrified of public speaking. In school, whenever the teacher asked a question, I would sink low in my chair, praying not to be called on. My face would flush, my palms would sweat, and my mind would go blank.
That all changed in my sophomore year of high school when my English teacher, Mrs. Thompson, announced a mandatory speech competition. Everyone had to present a five-minute speech in front of the entire school. I begged her to excuse me, but she refused. “You have a voice, David,” she said gently. “It’s time you learned to use it.”
I spent weeks writing and practicing my speech on “The Power of Small Acts of Kindness.” I rehearsed in front of a mirror, then to my parents, and finally to a few close friends. On the day of the competition, I was nervous but determined. As I walked onto the stage, I took a deep breath and began. To my surprise, the words flowed naturally. When I finished, the audience applauded. I didn’t win first place, but I won something far more valuable: confidence.
Now, as a college senior, I often speak in front of large groups without fear. That one forced experience taught me that stepping out of our comfort zone is where growth truly happens.

B. She wanted him to overcome his fear.
C. She believed he could win the first place.

6. What did the author do to prepare for the speech
A. He asked Mrs. Thompson for advice daily.
B. He practiced with different audiences.
C. He memorized a famous speech.
D. He wrote a new speech on stage.
7. What is the main message of the story
A. Success requires natural talent.
B. Teachers should not force students to speak.
C. Stepping out of comfort zone leads to personal growth.
D. Winning competitions is the most important thing.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. C

C
In recent years, “forest bathing” — a Japanese practice called shinrin-yoku — has gained popularity worldwide. Unlike hiking, which often focuses on reaching a destination or achieving physical exercise, forest bathing is about slowing down and immersing oneself in the atmosphere of the forest. It involves walking slowly, breathing deeply, and using all five senses to connect with nature.
Scientific studies have shown that forest bathing can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve mood. A 2019 study by researchers at Kyoto University found that participants who spent two hours in a forest environment had significantly lower levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) compared to those who stayed in urban areas. The phytoncides — natural oils released by trees — are believed to boost the immune system as well.
However, experts warn that forest bathing is not a cure-all. It should complement, not replace, medical treatment for serious health conditions. Moreover, the benefits depend on the quality of the forest environment. Forests polluted by chemicals or noise may not provide the same positive effects.
For those who live in cities without easy access to forests, urban parks or even indoor plants can offer similar, though smaller, benefits. The key is mindful engagement with nature, wherever you are.
8. What is the main difference between forest bathing and hiking
A. Forest bathing requires faster walking.
B. Hiking emphasizes physical exercise and destinations.
C. Forest bathing can only be done in Japan.
D. Hiking is more effective in reducing stress.
9. What does the 2019 study mainly suggest
A. Urban areas have higher levels of phytoncides.
B. Forest bathing lowers cortisol levels.
C. Two hours of hiking is better than forest bathing.
D. Cortisol increases stress in forests.
10. What is the experts’ attitude toward forest bathing
A. Overenthusiastic.
B. Cautiously supportive.
C. Completely negative.
D. Indifferent.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. People without forests can still benefit from mindful nature contact.
B. Urban parks are more effective than forests.
C. Indoor plants have no health benefits.
D. Forest bathing is only suitable for city dwellers.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. B 11. A
【阅读导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“森林浴”这一日本实践的定义、健康益处、专家观点以及城市居民的替代方案。
【解析】
8. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Unlike hiking, which often focuses on reaching a destination or achieving physical exercise”可知，徒步强调目的地和锻炼，而森林浴是慢下来沉浸，故选B。
9. 细节理解题。根据第二段“participants... had significantly lower levels of cortisol”可知，研究显示森林浴降低皮质醇水平，故选B。
10. 观点态度题。第三段指出森林浴不是万能药，应作为医疗的补充而非替代，体现了谨慎支持的态度，故选B。
11. 推理判断题。最后一段指出城市公园甚至室内植物也有类似但较小的益处，关键在于用心与自然互动，因此即使没有森林也能受益，故选A。
【点睛】说明文要注意区分不同概念、研究结论以及作者或专家的态度词。
D
The rise of social media influencers has transformed the way young people perceive success. A recent survey by Pew Research Center found that 45% of teenagers aged 13-17 say they would consider becoming a social media influencer as a career. This trend raises important questions about the values being promoted.
On one hand, influencers can inspire creativity and entrepreneurship. Many successful influencers have built businesses around their personal brands, from fashion lines to charity campaigns. They often share authentic stories of struggle and perseverance, which can motivate their followers.
On the other hand, the influencer culture is often criticized for promoting materialism, unrealistic body standards, and a shallow measure of self-worth based on likes and followers. Studies have linked heavy social media use with increased rates of anxiety and depression among adolescents. Moreover, the pursuit of fame online can distract young people from traditional education and skill-building.
So what should parents and educators do Rather than banning social media entirely — which is often impractical — experts recommend teaching digital literacy. This includes helping young people distinguish between authentic content and sponsored ads, encouraging them to follow diverse role models, and reminding them that online popularity is not the only path to a fulfilling life.
12. What is the main concern raised in paragraph 1
A. Teenagers spend too much time online.
B. Many young people see influencer as a desirable job.
C. Social media platforms are unsafe.
D. Pew Research Center’s data is inaccurate.
13. What is a positive aspect of influencers mentioned in paragraph 2
A. They help teenagers avoid anxiety.
B. They encourage creativity and sharing real stories.
C. They replace traditional education.
D. They promote materialism.
14. According to experts, what is the best way to deal with influencer culture
A. Completely banning social media for teenagers.
B. Encouraging teenagers to become influencers.
C. Teaching young people how to critically evaluate online content.
D. Ignoring the problem and letting it resolve itself.
15. What does the author imply about online popularity
A. It is the only way to be successful.
B. It is not the only measure of a fulfilling life.
C. It is more important than real-life achievements.
D. It has no effect on young people’s mental health.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. B
【阅读导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了社交媒体影响者文化对青少年的影响，既分析了积极面也指出消极面，最后提出数字素养教育的建议。
【解析】
12. 细节理解题。第一段指出“45% of teenagers... would consider becoming a social media influencer as a career”，引发担忧，故选B。
13. 细节理解题。第二段提到“inspire creativity and entrepreneurship”以及“share authentic stories of struggle”，故选B。
14. 细节理解题。最后一段“experts recommend teaching digital literacy”，即教导年轻人批判性评估网络内容，故选C。
15. 推理判断题。最后一句“online popularity is not the only path to a fulfilling life”暗示网络人气不是唯一衡量标准，故选B。
【点睛】议论文要注意作者的正反观点及最终结论，通常最后一段给出建议或态度。

How to Turn Your Hobby into a Side Business
Many people dream of making money from something they love doing. Turning a hobby into a side business is exciting but requires careful planning. Here are some steps to help you get started.
Identify the marketable value of your hobby. Not every hobby can become a profitable business. Ask yourself: Are people willing to pay for what you create or do ___16___ For example, if you love knitting, are there people looking for handmade scarves
Start small and test the waters. Before quitting your day job, try selling your products or services on a small scale. ___17___ Websites like Etsy for crafts or Fiverr for digital services are great starting points.
___18___ A product that sells well in one season may not work in another. Also, track your time and expenses. If you spend five hours making a $20 item, your hourly wage is only $4 — below minimum wage in many places.
Promote your business on social media. Share behind-the-scenes content, customer reviews, and special offers. ___19___ Consistency matters more than frequency.
Prepare for challenges. Running a business involves dealing with difficult customers, managing inventory, and handling taxes. ___20___ Many new business owners give up when they hit their first big obstacle.
A. Calculate your costs and time.
B. You don’t need to post every day.
C. Consider the seasonality of your product.
D. It’s a good idea to set realistic expectations.
E. Use online platforms to reach potential customers.
F. Find a partner to share the workload.
G. Research whether there is real demand.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. B 20. D
【阅读导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了将爱好转变为副业的五个步骤：评估市场需求、从小处着手、计算成本时间、社交媒体推广以及应对挑战。
【解析】
16. 前句问“人们愿意为你创造或做的事情付费吗？”，后句举例说明有人需要手工围巾，所以此处应强调“研究是否存在真实需求”，G项符合。
17. 前句说“尝试小规模销售”，后句提到Etsy、Fiverr等平台，因此横线应指“使用在线平台接触潜在客户”，E项正确。
18. 本段后文讨论产品季节性、记录时间和费用等，核心是计算成本和投入，A项“计算成本和你的时间”概括准确。C项“考虑季节性”只是部分内容，不够全面。
19. 前句建议在社交媒体推广，后句说“一致性比频率更重要”，因此不需要每天发帖，B项符合。
20. 本段讲应对挑战，后句说很多人遇到第一个大障碍就放弃，因此前句应是“设定现实的期望”，D项正确。
【点睛】七选五要注意段落主题句与选项的逻辑衔接，关注代词、同义词复现以及上下文的因果关系。

【答案】
Dear Chris,
I completely understand your difficulty because classical Chinese poetry often uses concise language and deep imagery. But don’t worry — with patience, you’ll appreciate its beauty.
Here are some tips. First, learn about the poet’s background and the historical context of the poem; this will help you grasp the meaning. Second, read the poems aloud to feel the rhyme and rhythm. You can also start with short, simple poems. I recommend Li Bai’s Quiet Night Thought. It describes the moonlight and homesickness in plain words, making it perfect for beginners.
Keep exploring, and you’ll find great joy in it!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
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。
When I was fourteen, my family moved from a bustling city to a small rural town. I hated everything about it — the silence, the dirt roads, and the fact that my new school had only 60 students. I missed my old friends and spent most days with my headphones on, ignoring the world.
One afternoon, my neighbor Mrs. Gable, an elderly woman who lived alone, knocked on our door. She held a basket of tomatoes. “Your mother mentioned you like gardening,” she said with a warm smile. “Would you like to help me in my garden I could use a young pair of hands.” I almost refused, but my mom gave me “the look.” So I nodded reluctantly.
Over the next few weeks, I spent every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon at Mrs. Gable’s house. She taught me how to plant seeds, pull weeds, and tell when a tomato was perfectly ripe. At first, I worked silently, counting the minutes until I could leave. But gradually, I began to look forward to our time together. She told me stories about her youth, about her late husband who built their house, and about the apple tree that had been in her family for three generations.
One day in late August, I noticed Mrs. Gable seemed weaker than usual. Her hands trembled as she reached for a watering can. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I think this might be my last season in the garden. The doctor says my heart is failing.” I felt a lump in my throat. I didn’t know what to say, so I just took the watering can from her and finished the work.
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。
Paragragh1:The next spring, I found myself standing in front of Mrs. Gable’s garden alone.

Paragragh2:That garden became my promise to her.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next spring, I found myself standing in front of Mrs. Gable’s garden alone. The ground was overgrown with weeds, and the old apple tree looked bare. I remembered her trembling hands and her words: “This might be my last season.” Tears blurred my eyes, but I wiped them away and picked up a shovel. I spent the whole weekend clearing the weeds, turning the soil, and planting new seeds — tomatoes, beans, and marigolds, just as she had taught me. When I finished, I stood back and looked at the neat rows. It wasn’t as beautiful as Mrs. Gable’s garden, but it was a start.
That garden became my promise to her. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, I tended it as carefully as she once did. I talked to the plants, telling them the stories she had told me. In summer, the tomatoes ripened — red, juicy, and sweet. I brought a basket to Mrs. Gable’s door, but she was already in the hospital. Still, I left it there with a note: “From your garden.” When she passed away a month later, her daughter hugged me and said, “The garden meant everything to Mom. Thank you for keeping it alive.” I realized then that Mrs. Gable hadn’t just taught me gardening — she had planted something in me that would never die: the joy of nurturing life, even in silence.
【写作导语】本文是一篇读后续写，讲述了作者从城市搬到农村后，因孤独而封闭自己，在邻居老妇人的花园劳动中逐渐打开心扉，最终在老妇人病重后独自承担起照料花园的责任，并从中学到了关爱与传承。

As a child, I was terrified of public speaking. In school, whenever the teacher asked a question, I would sink low in my chair, praying not to be called on. My face would flush, my palms would sweat, and my mind would go blank.
That all changed in my sophomore year of high school when my English teacher, Mrs. Thompson, announced a mandatory speech competition. Everyone had to present a five-minute speech in front of the entire school. I begged her to excuse me, but she refused. “You have a voice, David,” she said gently. “It’s time you learned to use it.”
I spent weeks writing and practicing my speech on “The Power of Small Acts of Kindness.” I rehearsed in front of a mirror, then to my parents, and finally to a few close friends. On the day of the competition, I was nervous but determined. As I walked onto the stage, I took a deep breath and began. To my surprise, the words flowed naturally. When I finished, the audience applauded. I didn’t win first place, but I won something far more valuable: confidence.
Now, as a college senior, I often speak in front of large groups without fear. That one forced experience taught me that stepping out of our comfort zone is where growth truly happens.

In recent years, “forest bathing” — a Japanese practice called shinrin-yoku — has gained popularity worldwide. Unlike hiking, which often focuses on reaching a destination or achieving physical exercise, forest bathing is about slowing down and immersing oneself in the atmosphere of the forest. It involves walking slowly, breathing deeply, and using all five senses to connect with nature.
Scientific studies have shown that forest bathing can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve mood. A 2019 study by researchers at Kyoto University found that participants who spent two hours in a forest environment had significantly lower levels of cortisol (a stress hormone) compared to those who stayed in urban areas. The phytoncides — natural oils released by trees — are believed to boost the immune system as well.
However, experts warn that forest bathing is not a cure-all. It should complement, not replace, medical treatment for serious health conditions. Moreover, the benefits depend on the quality of the forest environment. Forests polluted by chemicals or noise may not provide the same positive effects.
For those who live in cities without easy access to forests, urban parks or even indoor plants can offer similar, though smaller, benefits. The key is mindful engagement with nature, wherever you are.
8. What is the main difference between forest bathing and hiking
A. Forest bathing requires faster walking.
B. Hiking emphasizes physical exercise and destinations.
C. Forest bathing can only be done in Japan.
D. Hiking is more effective in reducing stress.
9. What does the 2019 study mainly suggest
A. Urban areas have higher levels of phytoncides.
B. Forest bathing lowers cortisol levels.
C. Two hours of hiking is better than forest bathing.
D. Cortisol increases stress in forests.
10. What is the experts’ attitude toward forest bathing
A. Overenthusiastic.
B. Cautiously supportive.
C. Completely negative.
D. Indifferent.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. People without forests can still benefit from mindful nature contact.
B. Urban parks are more effective than forests.
C. Indoor plants have no health benefits.
D. Forest bathing is only suitable for city dwellers.

The rise of social media influencers has transformed the way young people perceive success. A recent survey by Pew Research Center found that 45% of teenagers aged 13-17 say they would consider becoming a social media influencer as a career. This trend raises important questions about the values being promoted.
On one hand, influencers can inspire creativity and entrepreneurship. Many successful influencers have built businesses around their personal brands, from fashion lines to charity campaigns. They often share authentic stories of struggle and perseverance, which can motivate their followers.
On the other hand, the influencer culture is often criticized for promoting materialism, unrealistic body standards, and a shallow measure of self-worth based on likes and followers. Studies have linked heavy social media use with increased rates of anxiety and depression among adolescents. Moreover, the pursuit of fame online can distract young people from traditional education and skill-building.
So what should parents and educators do Rather than banning social media entirely — which is often impractical — experts recommend teaching digital literacy. This includes helping young people distinguish between authentic content and sponsored ads, encouraging them to follow diverse role models, and reminding them that online popularity is not the only path to a fulfilling life.
12. What is the main concern raised in paragraph 1
A. Teenagers spend too much time online.
B. Many young people see influencer as a desirable job.
C. Social media platforms are unsafe.
D. Pew Research Center’s data is inaccurate.
13. What is a positive aspect of influencers mentioned in paragraph 2
A. They help teenagers avoid anxiety.
B. They encourage creativity and sharing real stories.
C. They replace traditional education.
D. They promote materialism.
14. According to experts, what is the best way to deal with influencer culture
A. Completely banning social media for teenagers.
B. Encouraging teenagers to become influencers.
C. Teaching young people how to critically evaluate online content.
D. Ignoring the problem and letting it resolve itself.
15. What does the author imply about online popularity
A. It is the only way to be successful.
B. It is not the only measure of a fulfilling life.
C. It is more important than real-life achievements.
D. It has no effect on young people’s mental health.

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。
When I was fourteen, my family moved from a bustling city to a small rural town. I hated everything about it — the silence, the dirt roads, and the fact that my new school had only 60 students. I missed my old friends and spent most days with my headphones on, ignoring the world.
One afternoon, my neighbor Mrs. Gable, an elderly woman who lived alone, knocked on our door. She held a basket of tomatoes. “Your mother mentioned you like gardening,” she said with a warm smile. “Would you like to help me in my garden I could use a young pair of hands.” I almost refused, but my mom gave me “the look.” So I nodded reluctantly.
Over the next few weeks, I spent every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon at Mrs. Gable’s house. She taught me how to plant seeds, pull weeds, and tell when a tomato was perfectly ripe. At first, I worked silently, counting the minutes until I could leave. But gradually, I began to look forward to our time together. She told me stories about her youth, about her late husband who built their house, and about the apple tree that had been in her family for three generations.
One day in late August, I noticed Mrs. Gable seemed weaker than usual. Her hands trembled as she reached for a watering can. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I think this might be my last season in the garden. The doctor says my heart is failing.” I felt a lump in my throat. I didn’t know what to say, so I just took the watering can from her and finished the work.
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。
