一、阅读理解
A
Britain is a land of stunning landscapes and rich heritage — from the Lake District’s peaks and lakes to iconic bridges, from lakeside poets’ romance to Shakespeare’s genius and the Enlightenment’s (启蒙运动) glow. In this series, we spotlight four renowned landmarks to uncover their stories.
The Lake District
The Lake District is England’s largest National Park. Stretching across the North-West, it’s home to the nation’s highest mountains and deepest lakes. This district is very famous for its food. There are seven Michelin-Starred restaurants. Besides, cosy, traditional and hearty pubs are plentiful in the popular towns. The romance and charm of the lakes have inspired many lake poets in their creativity.
The Roman Baths
The Roman Baths are one of the finest examples of preserved ancient thermal spa in the world, and the only official hot spring in Britain. During the Roman Invasion in 50 CE, they dedicated the spring to a healing goddess. Rich or poor, they thought this spring would rid their illness and disease, believing it to be blessed by the Goddesses.
Westminster Palace and Big Ben
The most iconic architectural structures of not only London but the whole of the UK are Westminster Palace and Big Ben. It was originally built as a royal palace about 1000 years ago. During Henry VIII’s reign, he gave it over to parliament. Big Ben has enormous cultural significance for Britain. Its clock rings are broadcast on television every New Year’s Eve to count down and welcome the New Year.
Stonehenge
Stonehenge is the most famous prehistoric monument. It was built 5000 years ago as a ditch and now surrounds the stones. In the 1960s, an astronomer theorized that it might be a calendar since you could see the perfect view of the summer sunrise hitting the stones. People will not fully understand it until bathed in its remarkable mystery.

When Mia Woods retired at 61, she knew she needed a plan. “I was worried about losing my identity as a professional. What else can I be ” she thought.
The year before, she had been told she had a mild memory problem. “I was trying to show myself that I could still think and be creative,” she says. So she decided to do — rather than be — something new: bake a pie every day for a year and give each pie away. “It made me reach out every day to somebody, so I wouldn’t be alone. And it gave me a routine,” she says.
She baked her first pie and gave it to her 88-year-old aunt, Carol. As a teenager, Mia had moved in with her aunt’s family when her mother became ill. “They gave me stability... It was the perfect first pie,” she says. She went on giving pies to former colleagues, grocery clerks, even a homeless man. As word spread, she got known as “the pie lady”.
For more than 30 years, Mia had worked as a city planner. “I’m a planner by nature, training and profession. What I really liked about it was that planning takes time, chaos, many different components, puts them all together and makes them into something manageable.” She sees the same in baking pies: “You take a bunch of ingredients and create something out of them.”
Twelve years on, Mia has continued to invent new projects, including writing a letter a day, and painting pictures of her local sky. She is writing a book about the pie experience. But she has learned more than baking. “What really came out of it was the understanding that I was someone who could do new things,” she reflects. “And my professional identity wasn’t critical to who I am.”
“Even now, after I have an encounter with somebody, I think: ‘There’s a person I wish I could give a pie to.’” says Mia.
24. What was Mia’s worry when she retired
A．Her serious mental problem.
B．Her being cut off from others.
C．Having no identity beyond career.
D．Having to change her daily routine.
25. Why did Mia give her first pie to her aunt
A．She had given Mia a home.
B．She had cared for Mia’s mum.
C．She was the oldest in the family.
D．She had built Mia’s stable character.
26. What do city planning and baking pies have in common according to Mia
A．Both require professional training.
B．Both make sense of mixed elements.
C．Both create something out of nothing.
D．Both connect people with one another.
27. What is Mia’s reflection on her experience
A．Everyone in the world deserves a pie.
B．New challenges redefine who we are.
C．Opening up to changes takes courage.
D．Simple acts can bring people together.
C
People might not realize that one basic life necessity has slipped from their control: meals. With the rise of online platforms, people enjoy the freedom to get anything quickly and at a reasonable price. However, food writer Chen Yuhui argues in her book Who Decides What to Eat that this convenience has robbed people of their autonomy over food, reflecting a greater loss of community life in a result-driven society that prioritizes efficiency.
“Many people don’t realize how often their dining choices are made for them,” Chen says. For instance, a boss’s request for overtime changes their dinner plans; or a restaurant discount offer influences where they eat. These, she explains, are passive choices.
Chen cites another common complaint: tomatoes that taste plain compared to childhood memories. This reveals a deeper loss — commercially dominant, hard-skinned varieties are “more fitting for long-distance transportation,” sacrificing flavor and the community life once built around fresh markets.
Chen also worries about the decline of people’s ability to choose food wisely. Young people buy ingredients online without market experience and may think plain food is just how it’s supposed to be. Chen further notes that online food images are “zombie-like” — they show lifeless food, unlike the fresh produce in markets, and this limits people’s imagination about food. However, when she shares tips on selecting fresh produce in markets, she often gets requests for shopping links instead.
Chen connects these attitudes to a broader mindset: “Buying groceries and cooking involve a certain level of acceptance of mistakes. Yet many today seem to have little patience with them.” The focus on results makes delivery appealing, as people believe it guarantees a better outcome.
Beyond the loss of autonomy, Chen sees something deeper in food — it’s a microcosm for understanding the world. “If you love tomatoes but find them plain, do you complain or invest effort to find flavorful ones Searching for the right variety shows different problem-solving abilities, which is what I mean by food being the smallest unit for understanding the world,” she concludes.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly introduce
A．Advances in food technology.
B．The hidden cost of food convenience.
C．Changing habits of dining out.
D．The popularity of online food shopping.
29. What does Chen mean by describing online food images as “zombie-like”
A．They look too perfect to be real.
B．They discourage interest in cooking.
C．They push people to order takeout.
D．They fail to show real and lively food.
30. What does people’s preference for delivery reveal
A．Their desire to avoid uncertainty.
B．Their over-reliance on technology.
C．Their view of cooking as a burden.
D．Their separation from food sources.
31. What message does the text want to convey
A．Returning to markets can restore food autonomy.
B．The loss of food flavor is unavoidable nowadays.
C．Online platforms have changed people’s lifestyle.
D．Our relationship with food mirrors our world view.
D
In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore,we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sight to begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls.” Trolls are actors who intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
32. What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2
A．It offers little information.
B．It features depressing stories.
C．It saves time for Internet users.
D．It seeks profits from each click.
33. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A．To discuss the quality of information
B．To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C．To show the importance of environments.
D．To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
34. What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A．Reveal their intention.
B．Turn a deaf ear to them.
C．Correct their behaviour.
D．Send hard facts to them.
35. What is the text mainly about
A．Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
B．Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C．Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D．Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users
二、七选五
During the journey of achieving success, everyone often encounters obstacles that test their determination. Adversity is an unavoidable part of life, but the ability to manage it sets individuals apart. This ability is often referred to as Adversity Quotient (AQ). ____36____ While IQ and EQ focus on cognitive and emotional abilities, AQ focuses on one’s capacity to bounce back from failure. Fortunately, researchers suggest that your AQ is not fixed and can be strengthened through several key strategies.
Cultivate a growth mindset
A growth mindset is the belief that your abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. Instead of seeing challenges as unbeatable barriers, you should view them as chances to improve. ____37____. By focusing on learning and perseverance, individuals can significantly enhance their Adversity Quotient. This shift in thinking allows people to see themselves as active participants in their growth rather than passive victims.
____38____
Having a strong support network is crucial in times of adversity. Surrounding yourself with positive individuals can provide encouragement and guidance. Sharing experiences and looking for support from others who have faced similar challenges can help in building resilience and enhancing your adaptability. Knowing you are not alone often provides the extra strength needed to keep moving forward.
Learn from every setback
Every failure presents an opportunity for learning and growth. ____39____. Reflecting on past experiences and identifying areas for improvement can contribute to the development of your resilience. This habit prevents individuals from being frozen by the fear of making mistakes again.
____40____. With the right mindset, strong external support, and a habit of reflecting on setbacks, anyone can navigate life’s storms and emerge stronger than before. Resilience, after all, is not about never falling, but about how quickly you get back up.

B．Expand your social connection
C．Focusing on the negative side of a crisis is a natural tendency
D．This internal perspective acts as a guide through hardship
E．High AQ individuals actively draw lessons from their failures

You can pay me back by doing the same for someone else when you are ____51____”
She paid $83 for his groceries and ____52____ to give her name. She just remarked that his turn would come and left. My dad cried in the car. Faced with numerous hardships, he never ____53____ in his life, yet that stranger’s silent understanding finally broke through his defenses.

67. 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。
At twenty-four, I moved to America, a massive 11,000 kilometers away from my homeland. The initial excitement of a new start soon faded, replaced by the harsh reality of fitting into an unfamiliar environment. Since I worked from home, my world was reduced to the four walls of my small apartment and a glowing laptop screen. I spent my days in video meetings where people spoke a language that was still a bit too fast for me to fully grasp. When the screens went dark, the silence of the rooms seemed to echo my own growing sense of displacement. I was physically in a new country, but mentally, I was still searching for a place to land.
Desperate to break this suffocating (令人窒息的) isolation, I signed up as a volunteer at a local animal shelter. My supervisor, a kind woman named Sarah, introduced me to the residents. In the farthest corner of the cat section, she stopped before a small cage. “This is Luna,” she whispered. “She was found abandoned in a rainy alley. She’s terrified of everything.”
Luna was a small, grey-and-white cat with large, lonely green eyes. Whenever I approached, she would cower (畏缩) in the corner, her tiny body shaking at the slightest sound. Sarah told me that my only task was to help Luna feel safe again. For the first two weeks, I sat outside her cage for hours every day. I brought my laptop and worked there, or I would speak to her softly about the home I missed, describing the busy streets and the scent of my mother’s cooking. I wanted to comfort her, but the invisible wall between us remained.
One stormy afternoon, a sudden crash of thunder shook the shelter’s roof. The lights flickered, and the animals began to cry out in fear. I looked at Luna, who trembled more than ever, her breath coming in quick, tiny gasps (喘气) as she tried to hide behind a small wooden box in her cage.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I opened the cage door and sat quietly beside her.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luna’s progress soon began to change me as well.

67.读后续写范文
I opened the cage door and sat quietly beside her. I stretched out my hand slowly without any sudden movement and whispered soft words to calm her down. At first she shrank back, but the loud thunder kept rolling, forcing her to move closer to me little by little. Finally she curled up beside my leg and stopped trembling. I stroked her soft fur gently all through the storm, and for the first time she did not try to escape from me.
Luna’s progress soon began to change me as well. Day by day, Luna became brave and affectionate, greeting me warmly every time I visited the shelter. Caring for her filled my empty life and chased away my loneliness. I gradually made more friends at the shelter and adapted to life in this foreign country. I realized comfort and belonging can be found through mutual care between living creatures, and Luna and I healed each other’s loneliness.
