二、阅读六选五：本大题共5小题，共10分。
You may notice that horses appear in many Chinese idioms. These horse-related sayings reflect Chinese culture and ancient life.
“A horse that covers a thousand miles” is perhaps the most famous horse idiom. (1) Chinese parents often use this phrase to encourage their children, hoping they’ll become “thousand-mile horses” who achieve great things. The idiom comes from ancient times when people believed that great horses could run 1,000 miles in a single day.
“A swift horse needs a good rider” adds another meaning to this idea. Although talented people (“swift horses”) might be common, good leaders who can recognize talent (“good riders”) are uncommon. This saying reminds us that having talent isn’t enough. (2)
“Ride a horse while looking for a better one” describes someone who is satisfied with their present situation, but always open to something better. Chinese people use this idiom to describe practical and ambitious (有雄心的) people. (3)
“An old horse knows the way” celebrates the wisdom that comes with experience. Just as an old horse remembers the safest paths through mountains, experienced people can guide others through difficult situations. (4)
(5) They carry rich culture, valuable life lessons and wisdom. They also encourage us to be talented, thankful and keep making progress.
A．These people never stop improving themselves.
B．It describes people with amazing talent or potential.
C．All in all, these horse idioms are not just simple sayings.
D．You need someone who supports you and gives you opportunities.
E．This traditional saying tells us we should always stick to our first choice.
F．This idiom shows that Chinese respect the elders and their plenty of knowledge.

Recent reports show that more teens feel sad or hopeless compared with ten years ago. a________ In his new book How We Grow Up: Understanding Adolescence, journalist Matt Richtel explores the reasons behind teen stress and how adults can help.
One reason why teens feel more stressed is that they have still-developing brains and think too much about what’s happening around them. b________ At the same time, they face a fast-changing world full of information—from school, friends, and online. This can lead to overthinking and worry. Many people blame (责备) phones as the main cause of their stress. Too much screen time can indeed be harmful. But it’s not the only reason. That’s why simply taking away teens’ phones won’t solve this situation. What’s more important is helping them to find a balance—getting enough sleep, staying active, and having face-to-face conversations.
The teenage years are a time of big change, and this change itself is another cause of stress. c________ During this time, young people start to move from depending on their parents to being independent (独立的). This change is natural and necessary for growing up, but it can also bring stress—teens may not know how to make choices by themselves or they may worry that they can’t do things well. This worry makes them question what their parents and teachers have taught them. The process makes them feel quite stressed.
That is why help from parents is so important. Sometimes, teens may feel down even in loving homes because emotions (情绪) are hard to understand. Just like an adult might get stressed at work, teens can feel too stressed to deal with many small things together. Understanding this can help parents be supportive. d________ In this way, parents can be good guides for their children.
In short, mental health challenges in teens come from a mix of still-developing brains, the world around them, and the stress of growing up in a fast-changing world. To help with these problems, we shouldn’t just blame phones or be too strict with them. Instead, what matters is listening carefully, staying close to them, and guiding them with care and understanding.
49.What is more important for teens according to Paragraph 2
A. Becoming more independent.
B. Finding a healthy life balance.
C. Staying away from their phones.
D. Dealing with emotional challenges.
50.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. What else brings teens stress and worries.
B. Why teens become independent of parents.
C. How teens deal with stress from their parents.
D. Why teens question what they’ve been taught.
51.It is better to put “Open talks and patience can build trust.” in ________.
A. a B. b C. c D. d

Artwork is lovely to look at, but did you know that seeing a real work of art instead of a photo of it makes people more emotional
Neuroscientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, which was painted in 1665.
The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner called EEG which can record someone's brain activity to notice how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at posters of the artworks in the museum shop.
The study found that their emotional response was 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people's personal identity and consciousness.
The team found that the group reacted especially strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring. Results showed the volunteers experienced something called a “sustained attentional loop”—but they only had it while looking at that particular painting. The volunteers’ attention was first attracted to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This eye movement repeated in a loop, which meant that people looked at the painting for longer.
The director of the museum, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “It really helps to develop your brain.” The researchers said it would be interesting to do the same study on other famous paintings, such as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
53.An EEG is ________.
A. a painting style B. a famous art museum
C. brain-scanning equipment D. a scientist who studies the brain
54.What are Paragraph 4 and 5 talking about
A. The steps to the research. B. The reasons for the research.
C. The problems with the study. D. The findings of the study.
55.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The study is based on the difference between real paintings and their posters.
B. The emotional response is weaker when seeing real artworks.
C. The study is only valuable to research famous paintings.
D. The researchers have continued the study on the Mona Lisa.
56.What’s the main purpose of the passage
A. To encourage us to go to the Mauritshuis museum.
B. To teach us how to enjoy real artworks.
C. To explain the power of real art.
D. To introduce the art value of Girl with a Pearl Earring.
G
Do you yawn (打哈欠) There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning.
We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First, you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.
Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (拉伸) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things.
In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air.
Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do.
57.What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Able to spread quickly. B. Able to breathe easily.
C. Able to change easily. D. Able to sleep quickly.
58.Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race
A. They are too tired or too bored.
B. A yawn can let good things in.
C. A yawn can help a warm brain cool down.
D. A yawn can stretch the muscles in their faces.
59.What is the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. Reasons for yawning. B. Advantages of yawning.
C. Disadvantages of yawning. D. Different ideas about yawning.
60.What can we probably infer from the passage
A. People use different ways to yawn.
B. Scientists will do further research on yawning.
C. Some scientists think yawning may be good for people.
D. It’s hard to notice things quickly while yawning.

As junior high students, we often face difficult moments: a math test we fail, a speech we struggle with, or a sport we can’t master. How we think about these challenges is important—and that’s where “growth mindset” comes in.
A growth mindset means believing our abilities can get better, not being unchangeable all the time. People with a growth mindset usually focus on the process, effort and improvement not the result. This is different from a “fixed mindset” where people think “I’m bad at math” or “I’ll never be good at speaking”. With a growth mindset, you say, “I’m not good at this yet—but I can learn”.
Let’s take school life as an example. Suppose you get a low score on a science quiz. A fixed mindset makes you feel angry and hopeless: “I’m just not a science person”. But with a growth mindset, you look at your mistakes calmly. You ask the teacher for help, redo the wrong questions, study those topics more and even use the colour therapy. Next time, your score might be improved! It’s not about being perfect now—it’s about trying to get better step by step.
Growing this mindset isn’t hard. Above all, use the word “yet”“ often” instead of “I can’t do this”, say “I can’t do this yet”. Also, when you face a setback, stay calm and don’t let your feelings like anger or sadness control you. Remember that mistakes are part of learning. Moreover, celebrate small progress. Cheer for your small steps forward after working out a difficult math problem.
Having a growth mindset helps us not just in school, but in life. It gives us courage to try new things when we fail. So let’s start thinking “I can grow”—and see how far we can go!

63.【答案】Through Failure, I Grow
Throughout our life, we may experience successes or failures that help us grow up. Last term, I joined a school English speech contest. I spent weeks preparing carefully, but unfortunately, I forgot half my lines on stage. I felt extremely embarrassed and even wanted to give up speaking in public.
However, my teacher told me failure is just a lesson to learn from. I reviewed my mistakes, practiced more patiently, and learned to stay calm under pressure. Later, I joined another small speech activity and did much better.
This failure taught me an important lesson: setbacks don’t stop growth—they help me become stronger and braver in the future.
