I have a son with whom I do “special time”. My wife and I homeschool our eleven-year-old son, and I spend lots of time playing and doing things with him. I used to think of this as special time. Recently, however, I have noticed that during many of those hours I have only part of my attention on him and am often distracted by things that need doing. This past year I talked with him about setting aside a time when I would just follow his lead in play, when he would get to decide what happened and how it happened. He liked the idea, so we arranged to do it once a week for an hour, after his guitar lesson.
During the first few special times he wouldn’t be able to think of what he wanted to do with me or how he wanted to use my full attention. I would get antsy and would have to stop myself from making suggestions. He would often say, “Well, what would you like to do ” or “Let’s go do this; you’ll like this.” I started to notice what a struggle it was for him to just want something for himself. He was always considering me first.
Often biting my tongue and sometimes failing, I tried to wait until he could figure out something that he really wanted to do. During some of the first special times he decided to go shopping and just look at the things he wanted. Recently he has chosen to use my attention to perfect skills — we go out and throw a baseball for an hour. Often I have to stop myself from teaching or from asking him to keep trying when he is ready to move on quickly to something else.
As the year continues, I watch my son become more confident and experiment more with how he can use me, now that he knows he has me for a fixed time. If my attention wanders, he’ll remind me that it is his special time.
4. What does the author think is a key feature of “special time”
A．Adequate time. B．Constant guidance.
C．Undivided attention. D．Practical arrangement.
5. What does the underlined word “antsy” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Impatient. B．Ashamed. C．Thrilled. D．Confused.
6. What did the author’s son tend to do during the first few special times
A．Carry out enjoyable activities. B．Follow the author’s suggestions.
C．Figure out what he wanted to do. D．Consider the author’s preferences.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Learning to Be a Wise Father B．The Magic of Companionship
C．More Than Just Being Together D．The Moment My Boy Found His Voice
C
Wildfires are not always harmful to forests. In many ecosystems, fire helps remove accumulated debris (堆积的枯落物), returns nutrients to the soil, and supports healthy regeneration. For more than 100 years, the United States has invested billions of dollars in suppressing (压制) wildfires to protect communities, infrastructure, and sensitive landscapes. While this approach has reduced immediate risks, it has also limited the natural fires that forests depend on, increasing the likelihood of larger and more intense fires in the future.
New research shows that nearly 38 million hectares of land in the western United States have burned less often than they historically should have. Researchers describe this widespread shortfall as a “fire deficit”.
“Conditions are getting so warm and dry that it’s causing huge amounts of fire compared to the historical record,” said Winslow Hansen, director of the Western Fire and Forest Resilience Collaborative and scientist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies. “However, we are still observing the tradition of 150 years of fire suppression. Together, drying conditions and overly dense fuels indicate a more challenging and fiery future.”
To identify where fire has been missing, researchers relied on geospatial evidence including soil samples. The data helped establish historical fire return periods, which were then constructed using the Landfire program to compare past fire activity with modern patterns. The researchers found that 74% of the western United States is now in a “fire deficit”.
Closing that gap will require roughly 3.8 million hectares of forest to burn each year for the next decade. Although the scale of needed burning is daunting, Hansen and his co-workers say it can be addressed using a mix of approaches. These include mechanical thinning to remove excess vegetation and leaving some wildfires burning under controlled conditions.
“There are still lots of wildfires that burn today... that are reducing our fuel loads and revitalizing ecosystems,” said Hansen. “Instead of suppressing those fires and putting them out, we’ve got to let them do good ecological work to help us tackle this challenge when risk is low.”
8. What can constantly suppressing wildfires lead to according to paragraph 1
A．Increased immediate risks. B．Healthier soil regeneration.
C．Naturally stable ecosystems. D．More dangerous future fires.
9. What does the new research find about the western United States
A．Conditions are getting less warm. B．Fire suppression brings many benefits.
C．Over half of its land is in need of wildfires. D．A century-old tradition is left behind.
10. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 5
A．Unpredictable. B．Alarming. C．Artificial. D．Inappropriate.
11. What is Hansen’s advice for addressing low-risk wildfires
A．Take preventive measures. B．Call for joint efforts.
C．Prioritize suppressing them. D．Let nature take its course.
D
At the start of every new year, many of us think about how to make our lives better. Perhaps we want to lose weight or stay off our cell phones. If only we had more willpower, the thinking goes, we could meet our goals. But a new study suggests that we could have that backwards.
In the study, two groups of participants filled out surveys measuring their level of self-control and happiness over time to see if their self-control at one point led to greater well-being later on, and vice versa (反之亦然). People in both groups reported on how well they employed strategies like inhibition (e. g., the ability to resist temptations), initiation (e. g., not wasting time before getting to a project), and continuation (e. g., being consistent in their actions) to have better self-control. For well-being measures, researchers asked participants how much they agreed with statements like, “I am happy”, “I appreciate my own self-worth”, and “I am appreciative of life”, or asked them to report on things like how optimistic, energetic, and happy they were.
When looking within individuals over time, the researchers found that a person with greater self-control at one point in time did not report having greater well-being at later points in time. However, people who had greater well-being at one point in time did experience greater self-control later on.
What is the science behind this Lile Jia, an author of the study, points to Barbara Fredrickson’s “broaden-and-build” theory of positive emotions, which suggests that having positive feelings increases our psychological resources. This means that when feeling good, we can be more creative and open to new experiences, helping us manage difficulties better — including the “work” of stopping ourselves from walking away from our goals.
“When you find yourself struggling to stick to your goals, I would encourage you to resist the urge to label yourself as undisciplined or unworthy. Instead, consider it a signal to check in on your own state of being,” says Jia. “Feeling good is not just the destination. It is a critical part of the journey.”
12. What were the participants asked to do in the study
A．Recall memorable experiences. B．Report their own state of being.
C．Put forward practical strategies. D．Show gratitude to group members.
13. Why is Barbara Fredrickson’s theory mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To explain why feeling good boosts self-control.
B．To tell the function of psychological resources.
C．To compare factors contributing to fulfilling goals.
D．To prove that self-control leads to ultimate happiness.
14. What does Jia try to do in the last paragraph
A．Remind us to set realistic goals.
B．Urge us to push ourselves harder.
C．Suggest paying attention to our well-being.
D．highlight external encouragement.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A．Greater well-being comes from better self-control.
B．It’s necessary to set goals at the start of every new year.
C．The level of self-control and happiness changes over time.
D．We need well-being more than willpower to reach our goals.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly stopped me in my tracks. 16 She talked me through a life update from the opposite side of the country. It felt like the surprise of an unexpected letter because we normally didn’t communicate that way.
At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do. 17
But recently, I’ve found myself recalling how my friend’s voice broke through loneliness.Particularly during a season that’s supposed to be all about love, I think about all the ways that can look-specifically, how we reach out and connect. As I’ve sent more random voice messages to loved ones, it’s become obvious how much I was longing for this point of connection with them. 18 There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.
19 It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, “I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human.”
In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. 20 It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play.
A．In fact, I’m a late adopter of voice messaging.
B．I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces.
C．It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.
D．When we reach out, we can better understand others’ difficulties.
E．Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
F．I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages.
G．A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.

It wasn’t that I hated family events. But when I wanted something really wanted it anything else felt like a prison. At that moment, all I could see was another wasted evening stuck in a house full of relatives while my friends enjoyed their night without me.
In frustration, I yelled and, as usual, told my parents I hated them. Why was this happening to me All my friends were going out on Saturday. It just wasn’t fair!
I hardly ever felt guilty for being mean to my parents. Sure, they provided me with everything, but that “everything” included unfair rules and constant lectures on my attitude.
Later that night, I overheard my parents talking in the living room. My dad sounded upset and concerned. He was telling my mom about one of his students at the junior high where he teaches. The girl was a student with an amazing personality who always put others’ needs before hers. Her father had been killed in a traffic accident not long ago. Now it was just her and her mother, who were trying to make the best of everything.
For the past week, this girl had not been in school. It turned out her mother had contracted a deadly disease, and there was a good chance she might not survive. I could see tears in my dad’s eyes as well as in my mom’s.

Labor Shapes Us
Good morning, everyone!
I’m honored to share my experience of school labor. Last week, I volunteered to help out in the school canteen. I cleaned tables, sorted tableware and helped serve meals for my classmates. Though the work was simple and tiring, I tried my best to finish every task carefully.
This labor experience taught me a valuable lesson. Labor is never easy, and we should respect every worker’s effort. It also helps us build independence and responsibility.
Labor shapes our character. Let’s embrace labor and grow better through it!
Thank you!

第二节 读后续写范文
I was deeply shocked by this girl’s pared with her, I was extremely lucky to have healthy and loving parents who always care for me. Yet I often lost my temper and said hurtful words to them just for trivial things. I felt overwhelming guilt and regret. The girl suffered great pain but still remained kind, while I took my happy life for granted and hurt the people who loved me most. I realized how selfish and immature I had been.
With a heavy heart, I walked into the living room and hugged both my parents. I apologized sincerely for my rude behavior and bad attitude, telling them I was truly sorry. I explained that I had learned a precious lesson from that girl’s story and promised to be more considerate and grateful in the future. My parents smiled and forgave me gently. That night, I made up my mind to cherish every moment with my family and treat them with kindness and respect.
