W: Hi , it is science charm. I , m Rosy. Many parents are worried that their children spend too much time on the screen , such as watching TV and playing with the mobile phone , which will do harm to their mental health.But a new study shows the opposite. A professor of psychological science tells us that if parents turn off the media which children use to connect with friends and search for information , it will lead to a worse consequence. The professor and his colleagues did research on 400 students aged 10 to 14 about their screen behaviors. They found that most kids spend about 5 hours on the screen everyday. But there is no connection between the amount of time on the screen and mental health. Instead ,children who send more text messages have better mental health.This is a small association , but it reflects if we stay connected online , we also have good connections offline. Actually , kids have depression due to something other than the time they spend online. we are so busy with our study and work that we have no time to exchange ideas. we hope parents will spend less time worrying about mobile phones and more time talking to your children.It is the best way to have mental health.

Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023.
With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years.
To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom.
4. What can be learned from paragraph 1?
A. Omar’s family often assisted people in need.
B. Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches.
C. Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much.
D. Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young.
5. How did most people react to the increasing sargassum?
A. They didn’t take it seriously. B. They were anxious to clear it up.
C. They viewed it as new materials. D. They were excited to see a grand scene.
6. Which words can best describe Omar?
A. Honest and ambitious. B. Strong-willed and confident.
C. Quick-thinking and humorous. D. Sympathetic and innovative.
7. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success?
A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Love shines every dark corner.
C. Solutions can be obtained from problems. D. Heroes arise from humble beginnings.
C
With artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology improving at impressive rates, there are some who worry that there’s a risk of artistic and creative people being replaced. A new study by the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology, however, is showing exactly why that can’t and shouldn’t happen. It all started when the South Korean company posed this question: Can robots replace conductors?
Over a year ago, work to develop automaton (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1.8 meters. It was finally time to figure out how it could follow through on its musical role.
“We got involved in this project to see how far robots can go in more creative fields like the arts, and what the challenges are,” Dong-wook Lee, a senior researcher at the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology said.
In order to pull this off, Dong-wook Lee cooperated with the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. The 12-minute piece they planned to perform, “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind.
To pull off this impressive performance, the robot was preprogrammed to conduct through 30 cycles of beat patterns. Meanwhile, it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational (即兴的) score, adding depth to the otherwise planned piece.
Together, they pulled off a masterful performance that the audience seemed more than happy to have had the opportunity to witness it firsthand!
With the concert having gone so well, this is only the start of EverR 6. Still, no matter the improvements they’re able to make to this Android robot, the human conductor isn’t concerned about being replaced.
“Let’s leave the accuracy to the robots,” Soo-yeol Choi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects to a human conductor.”
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The function of the EverR 6 robot.
B. The development of the EverR 6 robot.
C. The EverR 6 robot’s role as a conductor.
D The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 robot.
9. What can be learned about “Feel”?
A. It is a piece familiar to the audience.
B. It is a piece showing the human-robot cooperation.
C. It is the only piece that EverR 6 will perform.
D. It is a piece requiring great ability to conduct.
10. What role did Soo-yeol Choi play in the performance?
A. He corrected the robot’s mistakes.
B. He programmed the EverR 6 robot.
C. He led the improvisational section of the performance.
D. He was the main conductor of the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra.
11. What is Soo-yeol Choi’s attitude towards EverR 6?
A. Unclear. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
D
“What beautiful music!”I shout loudly as my 9-year-old son practices playing the violin. He’s used to this praise; I give rewards like that most days. But every once in a while, I skip it, and when I do, I can see the disappointment on his face when he’s finished.
Am I a bad mom? Conventional wisdom says that consistency is key to parenting since it enables your child to predict how you’ll react, leading to good behavior. And it’s true that children need some level of predictability in their lives, particularly when it comes to discipline.
But research suggests that inconsistent gifts and praise can have a greater effect on motivation. While we all like to live in a predictable world, we often respond more strongly to unpredictable rewards.
In one experiment, my colleagues and I told participants they’d be paid if they could drink about one-and-a-half quarts of water in two minutes or less. In one condition, we offered people a $2 fixed reward. In another, there was an uncertain reward of either $2 or $1. The certain reward was a better deal, yet many more people successfully met the challenge when assigned an uncertain reward. Resolving the uncertainty — whether they would win $1 or $2 — was significantly more motivating than winning $2 for sure.
Here is one of the reasons why uncertainty is motivating. What scientists call “intermittent (间歇性) reinforcement” — rewarding behavior on some but not all occasions — makes it more arduous to know when rewards will show up. If you very often, but don’t always, praise your child for completing their chores, they’ll keep up the good behavior in the hope of receiving praise the next time.
So don’t assume that if kids are always praised for finishing their homework, they’ll be more likely to do it. Do praise young people for a job well done, just not every time. And pick rewards out of a hat when they complete chores—the surprise prize might keep everyone motivated to get things done.
12. Why does the author mention her kid’s story in the first paragraph?
A. To display the conclusion of her research.
B. To show that her kid is very smart.
C. To explain that she is a good mom.
D. To lead in the topic.
13. Why did more participants choose an uncertain reward in the experiment?
A. It was more inspiring. B. It was more demanding.
C. It was fair to all participants. D. It was easy to get more rewards.
14. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Convenient. B. Popular. C. Flexible. D. Difficult.
15 What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Consistency Is Critical to Parenting
B. Why Resolving Uncertainty Is Rewarding
C. How Inconsistent Praise Affects Motivation
D. How Parents’ Behaviors Affect Their Children

Cheerfulness is a powerful way to deal with a world that will always be tough and unjust in one way or another. It is a sign of strength in the face of difficulties.

“No!” screamed Asha as she saw a huge pimple (粉刺) on her nose. She didn’t have time to cover the pimple as she was running late to school. She ate her breakfast fast, grabbed her bag and caught her school bus just in time. As soon as she got on the bus, kids started laughing. Nobody was willing to let her sit beside them. Even Anita, her best friend, acted a bit differently, which made her more upset.
Asha was lost in thought. A new thought popped in her mind every second. Once she thought “Great! I have to worry about my pimple as if homework and exams were not enough.” The next minute another thought popped in her mind.“I am tired of using this face wash. I still wonder how I agreed to use that thing!” Then suddenly, Mr. Shetty, the bus driver, said, “Asha, do you want to miss the class?” Asha was so lost in her thought that she did not even notice that everybody had got off the bus except her.
She did not want to step into the school campus. She thought, “What will my teachers think? What will my friends think?” After some time, she gathered courage and entered her class, expecting that she would be laughed at. While entering the class, she heard students commenting on her pimple. A child laughed, “Look, someone’s cherry is on her nose! Get it for me.” She heard some boys murmuring, “She would definitely be chosen as the joker in the dance.”
It was a very hard day at school for her. As soon as she got home, she hugged her mother tightly, with tears welling up in her eyes.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023.
With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change.
When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained.
In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years.
To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom.
4. What can be learned from paragraph 1?
A. Omar’s family often assisted people in need.
B. Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches.
C. Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much.
D. Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young.
5. How did most people react to the increasing sargassum?
A. They didn’t take it seriously. B. They were anxious to clear it up.
C. They viewed it as new materials. D. They were excited to see a grand scene.
6. Which words can best describe Omar?
A. Honest and ambitious. B. Strong-willed and confident.
C. Quick-thinking and humorous. D. Sympathetic and innovative.
7. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success?
A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Love shines every dark corner.
C. Solutions can be obtained from problems. D. Heroes arise from humble beginnings.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C

With artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technology improving at impressive rates, there are some who worry that there’s a risk of artistic and creative people being replaced. A new study by the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology, however, is showing exactly why that can’t and shouldn’t happen. It all started when the South Korean company posed this question: Can robots replace conductors?
Over a year ago, work to develop automaton (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1.8 meters. It was finally time to figure out how it could follow through on its musical role.
“We got involved in this project to see how far robots can go in more creative fields like the arts, and what the challenges are,” Dong-wook Lee, a senior researcher at the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology said.
In order to pull this off, Dong-wook Lee cooperated with the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. The 12-minute piece they planned to perform, “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind.
To pull off this impressive performance, the robot was preprogrammed to conduct through 30 cycles of beat patterns. Meanwhile, it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational (即兴的) score, adding depth to the otherwise planned piece.
Together, they pulled off a masterful performance that the audience seemed more than happy to have had the opportunity to witness it firsthand!
With the concert having gone so well, this is only the start of EverR 6. Still, no matter the improvements they’re able to make to this Android robot, the human conductor isn’t concerned about being replaced.
“Let’s leave the accuracy to the robots,” Soo-yeol Choi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects to a human conductor.”
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The function of the EverR 6 robot.
B. The development of the EverR 6 robot.
C. The EverR 6 robot’s role as a conductor.
D. The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 robot.
9. What can be learned about “Feel”?
A. It is a piece familiar to the audience.
B. It is a piece showing the human-robot cooperation.
C. It is the only piece that EverR 6 will perform.
D. It is a piece requiring great ability to conduct.
10. What role did Soo-yeol Choi play in the performance?
A. He corrected the robot’s mistakes.
B. He programmed the EverR 6 robot.
C. He led the improvisational section of the performance.
D. He was the main conductor of the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra.
11. What is Soo-yeol Choi’s attitude towards EverR 6?
A. Unclear. B. Uncaring. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着人工智能(AI)和机器人技术以惊人的速度发展,一些人担心艺术和创意人才有被取代的风险。然而,韩国工业技术研究所(Korean Institute of Industrial Technology)的一项新研究恰恰说明了为什么这不能也不应该发生。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Over a year ago, work to develop automaton (自动化) began. At first, it was designed like a machine, and didn’t live up to expectations. Then the company sought ways to improve it. In the end, it was given two arms with joints to copy wrists and elbows, allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move it. It was named the EverR 6 robot, and stands at 1.8 meters.(一年多以前,开发自动化的工作开始了。起初,它被设计得像一台机器,并没有达到人们的期望。然后,该公司寻求改进方法。最后,它被赋予了两条带有关节的手臂来模仿手腕和肘部,使它能够像人类指挥一样移动一根棍子。它被命名为EverR 6机器人,身高1.8米)”可知,第二段主要讲述了EverR 6机器人的研发过程。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The 12-minute piece they planned to perform, “Feel” by Il-hoon Son, was created specifically for this event. It was created with the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor, Soo-yeol Choi, in mind.(他们计划演奏的12分钟的曲目是孙一勋的《Feel》,这是专门为此次活动制作的。这首歌是在考虑到EverR 6和人类指挥家崔秀烈(Soo-yeol Choi)的长处后创作的)”可推知,“Feel”是一个展示人机合作的作品。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Meanwhile, it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational (即兴的) score, adding depth to the otherwise planned piece.(与此同时,由人类指挥来带领乐队创作即兴乐谱,为原本计划好的作品增加深度)”可知,他在表演中指挥演出的即兴部分。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Let’s leave the accuracy to the robots,” Soo-yeol Choi said, “but the musical and artistic aspects to a human conductor.”(“让我们把精确度留给机器人吧,”崔秀烈(Soo-yeol Choi)说,“而把音乐和艺术方面的工作留给人类指挥。”)”可推知,Soo-yeol Choi对这个机器人持支持的态度。故选C。
D
“What beautiful music!”I shout loudly as my 9-year-old son practices playing the violin. He’s used to this praise; I give rewards like that most days. But every once in a while, I skip it, and when I do, I can see the disappointment on his face when he’s finished.
Am I a bad mom? Conventional wisdom says that consistency is key to parenting since it enables your child to predict how you’ll react, leading to good behavior. And it’s true that children need some level of predictability in their lives, particularly when it comes to discipline.
But research suggests that inconsistent gifts and praise can have a greater effect on motivation. While we all like to live in a predictable world, we often respond more strongly to unpredictable rewards.
In one experiment, my colleagues and I told participants they’d be paid if they could drink about one-and-a-half quarts of water in two minutes or less. In one condition, we offered people a $2 fixed reward. In another, there was an uncertain reward of either $2 or $1. The certain reward was a better deal, yet many more people successfully met the challenge when assigned an uncertain reward. Resolving the uncertainty — whether they would win $1 or $2 — was significantly more motivating than winning $2 for sure.
Here is one of the reasons why uncertainty is motivating. What scientists call “intermittent (间歇性) reinforcement” — rewarding behavior on some but not all occasions — makes it more arduous to know when rewards will show up. If you very often, but don’t always, praise your child for completing their chores, they’ll keep up the good behavior in the hope of receiving praise the next time.
So don’t assume that if kids are always praised for finishing their homework, they’ll be more likely to do it. Do praise young people for a job well done, just not every time. And pick rewards out of a hat when they complete chores—the surprise prize might keep everyone motivated to get things done.
12. Why does the author mention her kid’s story in the first paragraph?
A. To display the conclusion of her research.
B. To show that her kid is very smart.
C. To explain that she is a good mom.
D. To lead in the topic.
13. Why did more participants choose an uncertain reward in the experiment?
A. It was more inspiring. B. It was more demanding.
C. It was fair to all participants. D. It was easy to get more rewards.
14. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Convenient. B. Popular. C. Flexible. D. Difficult.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Consistency Is Critical to Parenting
B. Why Resolving Uncertainty Is Rewarding
C. How Inconsistent Praise Affects Motivation
D. How Parents’ Behaviors Affect Their Children
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是研究表明,不一致的礼物和表扬会对动机产生更大的影响。虽然我们都喜欢生活在一个可预测的世界里,但我们往往对不可预测的奖励反应更强烈,文章分析了原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I give rewards like that most days. But every once in a while, I skip it, and when I do, I can see the disappointment on his face when he’s finished.(我大多数时候都是这么奖励的。但每隔一段时间,我就跳过,当我跳过的时候,我能看到他读完后脸上的失望。)”和第三段“But research suggests that inconsistent gifts and praise can have a greater effect on motivation. While we all like to live in a predictable world, we often respond more strongly to unpredictable rewards.(但研究表明,不一致的礼物和表扬会对动机产生更大的影响。虽然我们都喜欢生活在一个可预测的世界里,但我们往往对不可预测的奖励反应更强烈。)”可知,第一段的故事引出了本文的主题,即不一致的礼物和表扬会对动机产生更大的影响。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Resolving the uncertainty—whether they would win $1 or $2—was significantly more motivating than winning $2 for sure.(决定选不确定性——他们会赢得1美元还是2美元——比肯定赢得2美元更有动力。)”可知,更多的参与者在实验中选择不确定的奖励是因为它更鼓舞人心。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“rewarding behavior on some but not all occasions(在某些情况下奖励行为,但不是所有情况)”可知,只在某些情况下才奖励行为,所以要知道奖励何时出现会变得更困难,划线词arduous的意思是“困难的”,和difficult意思相近。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第三段“But research suggests that inconsistent gifts and praise can have a greater effect on motivation. While we all like to live in a predictable world, we often respond more strongly to unpredictable rewards.(但研究表明,不一致的礼物和表扬会对动机产生更大的影响。虽然我们都喜欢生活在一个可预测的世界里,但我们往往对不可预测的奖励反应更强烈。)”可知,本文主要讲的是不一致的礼物和表扬会对动机产生更大的影响,并解释了原因,因此本文最好的标题是C选项“How Inconsistent Praise Affects Motivation(不一致的表扬如何影响动机)”,故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

Cheerfulness is a powerful way to deal with a world that will always be tough and unjust in one way or another. It is a sign of strength in the face of difficulties. Different from fear, joy, or anger, cheerfulness isn’t something that overcomes you. ____16____ As such, you can include it into your life once you make the right mental switch. Here are four ways to do so.
◎Acknowledge the difficulties.
Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you’re not hiding from reality. ____17____ Instead, it’s extremely important to be honest with yourself about the problems you’re facing. Only by first acknowledging that things are tough will you be able to find ways to cope.
◎Don’t focus on the negative.
Whether in your personal life or in society, it’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong. But whatever you focus on, it grows. If you decide to focus on what’s going wrong, those problems will grow in your mind until they consume you. ____18____
◎Be grateful for what you have.
____19____ Usually, they’re the things we take for granted until they’re no longer there, such as good health, a loving family, or even something as simple as a beautiful sunrise. Being grateful will shift your perspective and make it easier to see the silver linings of your problems.
◎____20____
No cheerfulness without laughter. So you can watch comedies, browse memes, or joke around with friends. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts your mood, makes you feel less pain, and protects you from stress. Laughter is cathartic (精神宣泄的) and infectious. Laugh and brighten the room.
A. Find your sense of humor.
B. Deal with difficulties seriously.
C. Focus on the good things you have.
D. To a large degree, cheerfulness is a choice.
E. You’re not covering your eyes and looking away.
F. Acknowledge the problems, but don’t give them too much attention.
G. Being cheerful will make you see the world and your own life in a different way.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. F 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了四种帮助快乐的方法。
【16题详解】
前文“Different from fear, joy, or anger, cheerfulness isn’t something that overcomes you.(与恐惧、喜悦或愤怒不同,快乐并不是能战胜你的东西。)”讲述了快乐不是能战胜你的东西,空处应讲述快乐应该是什么,D项“在很大程度上,快乐是一种选择。”符合题意。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Cheerfulness is an honest emotion because you’re not hiding from reality.(快乐是一种诚实的情绪,因为你不会逃避现实。)”和后文“Instead, it’s extremely important to be honest with yourself about the problems you’re facing.(相反,对自己所面临的问题坦诚相待是极其重要的。)”可知,空处的内容与Instead后面的内容相反,表示你不会逃避,E项“你没有捂住眼睛,把目光移开。”符合题意。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Don’t focus on the negative.(不要把注意力集中在消极的方面。)”和前文“If you decide to focus on what’s going wrong, those problems will grow in your mind until they consume you.(如果你决定专注于哪里出了问题,这些问题会在你的脑海中滋长,直到吞噬你。)”可知,本段主要讲述了不要把注意力集中在消极的方面,专注问题会吞噬你,所以空处讲的应是不要太关注问题,F项“承认问题,但不要太在意。”符合题意。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Be grateful for what you have.(感激你所拥有的。)”可知,本段主要讲述的是对所拥有的事情心存感激,C项“专注于你所拥有的美好事物。”符合题意,且选项中的the good things和下文中的They指代一致。故选C。
【20题详解】
空处是本段小标题,根据下文“No cheerfulness without laughter. So you can watch comedies, browse memes, or joke around with friends. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts your mood, makes you feel less pain, and protects you from stress. Laughter is cathartic(精神宣泄的) and infectious. Laugh and brighten the room.(没有欢笑就没有快乐。所以你可以看喜剧,浏览表情包,或者和朋友开玩笑。笑能增强你的免疫系统,提升你的情绪,让你感觉不那么痛苦,并保护你免受压力。笑声具有宣泄和感染力。开怀大笑,让房间明亮起来。)”可知,本段主要讲述了要找办法让自己开怀大笑,快乐起来,A项“找到你的幽默感。”符合题意。故选A。

考查定语从句。句意:自出现以来,它们就被认为是中国杰出的艺术珍品,集技术、艺术、绘画和美学于一体,代表了中国人民的智慧和创造力。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词treasures是物,因此空格处用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
“No!” screamed Asha as she saw a huge pimple (粉刺) on her nose. She didn’t have time to cover the pimple as she was running late to school. She ate her breakfast fast, grabbed her bag and caught her school bus just in time. As soon as she got on the bus, kids started laughing. Nobody was willing to let her sit beside them. Even Anita, her best friend, acted a bit differently, which made her more upset.
Asha was lost in thought. A new thought popped in her mind every second. Once she thought “Great! I have to worry about my pimple as if homework and exams were not enough.” The next minute another thought popped in her mind.“I am tired of using this face wash. I still wonder how I agreed to use that thing!” Then suddenly, Mr. Shetty, the bus driver, said, “Asha, do you want to miss the class?” Asha was so lost in her thought that she did not even notice that everybody had got off the bus except her.
She did not want to step into the school campus. She thought, “What will my teachers think? What will my friends think?” After some time, she gathered courage and entered her class, expecting that she would be laughed at. While entering the class, she heard students commenting on her pimple. A child laughed, “Look, someone’s cherry is on her nose! Get it for me.” She heard some boys murmuring, “She would definitely be chosen as the joker in the dance.”
It was a very hard day at school for her. As soon as she got home, she hugged her mother tightly, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Asha told her mother what she had experienced in the day.

Asha opened the door and in came her friend Anita with a bunch of flowers.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Asha told her mother what she had experienced in the day. She didn’t understand why everyone around her acted differently just because she got a huge pimple on her nose. Asha’s mother comforted her, saying, “Don’t take seriously what others think of you. Just be yourself. You can always be yourself without fear of judgment or ridicule. And I am sure there’s always someone who will understand you.” The mother’s words gave her a sense of relief and then a smile brightened her face. Just then she heard the doorbell rang.
Asha opened the door and in came her friend Anita with a bunch of flowers. Asha’s eyes widened in surprise as she saw the beautiful flowers.“These are for you,” Anita said with a warm smile.“I apologize for what I did this morning on the bus and I just want to let you know that I appreciate you for who you are. I hope that you don’t have to change for anyone else.” Asha’s heart was filled with gratitude as she took the flowers from Anita. For the first time, she felt like she truly belonged somewhere.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,以人物为线索。Asha早上起来的时候发现鼻子上有个很大的粉刺,然后她在校车上遭到大家的疏远,甚至包括她最好的朋友Anita,接着她在班里也被人嘲笑。Asha回到家后非常难过,但妈妈开解她不要在意别人的看法,这让她有点舒心,而且Anita也来向她道歉,并希望她不要为任何人改变,这让她第一次感到自己真正属于某个地方。
【详解】1. 续写线索:
①由续写第一段首句“Asha把当天的经历告诉了母亲。”可知,第一段可以描述Asha的妈妈安慰她,希望她不要太过在意别人的看法,她感到有些宽慰,就在这时门铃响起来了。
②由续写第二段首句“Asha打开门,她的朋友Anita拿着一束花走了进来。”可知,第二段可以描述见到Anita之后,Asha很惊讶,Anita向Asha道歉,并希望她不要为任何人改变,这让Asha第一次有了某种归属感。
2. 段落续写:Asha把当天经历告诉妈妈——妈妈安慰她——Anita来道歉——Asha内心发生改变
3. 词汇激活

①安慰:comfort/console
②高兴起来:brighten one’s face/light up one’s face
③道歉:apologize/make an apology
情绪类
