Onions are a useful crop, coming in a range of colours for different uses in the kitchen. Onions are a main course in a huge variety of dishes. All onion varieties are easy to grow and they store well, too, so you can enjoy home-grown onions all year round.
How to grow onions
You can grow onions from seed, but it’s much easier and quicker to grow them from sets(small onions). Most are heat-treated, meaning they’re less likely to produce flowers. One small onion set grows into one larger onion. Plant these in autumn or spring, 10 — 15 cm apart in well-prepared, moisture-retentive (吸湿的), fat soil in full sun. Keep the area weed free and water in dry periods. Harvest the onions when they’re big enough to eat or the leaves have turned brown and started to die away.
How long do onions take to grow?
Onions require 90 — 100 days to mature from seed, which is around four months. From sets, onions are ready to harvest after around 80 days, or just under three months.
How to sow onion seed
Sow onion seed indoors as early as January, so they are large enough to plant out in spring. Sow seed in a pot of wet seed compost (堆肥), about 1 cm apart. When the plants are a few inches tall, pull them out and transplant into fresh, peat-free multi-purpose compost. Once established, transplant plants into the garden, 10 — 15 cm apart.
How to plant onion sets
There’s no need to soak (浸泡) onion sets before planting. Plant them 10 — 15 cm apart, allowing 30 cm between rows. Plant them just below the soil surface, with just the tips showing, in moisture-retentive, fat soil, ideally with plenty of well-rotted organic matter such as garden compost.
21. When can we harvest onions?
A. When they come up. B. When sets are inches tall.
C. When leaves turn brown. D. When they begin to expand.
22. What are you forbidden to do while growing onions?
A. Heat the small onions. B. Put the sets in the water.
C. Pull the sets out to the garden. D. Expose the top out of the soil surface.
23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce. B. To entertain. C. To persuade. D. To advertise.
B
Gaia, a 9-year-old dog, lived in Dallas, Texas, with her elderly owner, Sandra. However, when Sandra fell ill and was hospitalized, Gaia found herself limited to a small backyard, longing for companionship. It was during this challenging time that a sympathetic neighbour, Lisa Kanarek, noticed Gaia’s solitude and decided to make a difference.
Despite having only met Sandra a few times and barely knowing Gaia, Lisa extended a helping hand, offering to take Gaia for a walk. What started as a simple act of kindness soon blossomed into a daily routine of walks that lasted for three weeks.
As fate would have it, two weeks before Sandra’s passing, a dean friend of hers approached Lisa with a heartfelt proposal. Aware of the bond formed between Gaia and Lisa, the friend asked if Lisa would consider becoming Gaia’s new caregiver. Without hesitation, Lisa accepted the responsibility, and Gaia officially moved into her new home.
From that moment on, Gaia’s life underwent a transformative journey. Lisa quickly discovered that Gaia had a calm and peaceful presence, especially around children. Inspired by this realization, Lisa and Gaia started with a new adventure by enrolling in a pet therapy (治疗) programme.
Their journey started at children’s hospitals, where Gaia’s gentle behaviour brought comfort and joy to young patients. Following their success, Lisa and Gaia expanded their reach to those in hospice (临终安养院) care.
The two have become a lighthouse for individuals facing difficult circumstances, providing companionship, warmth, and healing through their therapeutic visits.
24. What does the underlined word “solitude” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Contentment. B. Loneliness. C. Anger. D. Excitement.
25. What initially caused Lisa Kanarek to take Gaia for a walk?
A. Her own illness. B. Sandra’s passing.
C. Gaia’s situation. D. A friend’s suggestion.
26. How did Lisa and Gaia’s relationship develop over time?
A. It remained distant. B. It ended suddenly.
C. It got worse over time. D. It grew increasingly close.
27. What did Gaia do in the pet therapy programme?
A. She provided comfort to patients. B. She treated patients’ physical illnesses.
C. She helped Lisa with administrative tasks. D. She trained other dogs for therapy work.
C
Even walking as few as 4,000 steps a day may reduce your risk of dying from any cause, the largest analysis to date suggests-although the more you walk, the greater the health benefits.
The idea that a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle is linked to poorer health is well-established, but it has been unclear what the optimal (最佳的) number of steps people should aim for is, and whether there is an upper limit beyond which further health gains are minimal.
To investigate researchers led by Maciej Banach, a professor of cardiology (心脏病学) at the Medical University of Lodz in Poland, drew on data from 17 previous studies — involving 226,889 people, who were followed for an average seven years — to assess the health impacts of different daily step counts.
The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, suggested that walking at least 3,967 steps a day started to reduce the risk of dying from any cause, while 2,337 steps a day reduced the risk of dying from cardiovascular (心血管的) diseases. Above these cut-offs, each increase of 1,000 steps a day was associated with a 15% reduction in the risk of dying from any cause, while an increase of 500 steps a day was associated with a 7% reduction in dying from cardiovascular disease.
“Our study confirms that the more you walk, the better. We found that this applied to both men and women, regardless of age, and regardless of where you live,” Banach said. For younger age groups, the sharpest improvement in health was seen in individuals taking between 7,000 and 13,000 daily steps, while for those aged 60 years and over, it was at between 6,000 to 10,000 steps.
James Leiper, the associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This research shows us just how good walking is for our health. If you packaged the benefits as a pill, we would be praising it as a wonder drug. What’s great about walking is that it does not require special equipment or training, and you can do it almost anywhere.”
28. Why did the researchers do the study?
A. To seek reasons for cardiovascular diseases.
B. To compare different ways of keeping healthy.
C. To test whether walking can reduce early death.
D. To find out the ideal number of steps for improved health.
29. How did the researchers draw their conclusions?
A. By comparing the results. B. By listing some examples.
C. By surveying the participants. D. By using data from earlier investigations.
30. What is James Leiper’s opinion about walking?
A. It isn’t a wonder drug. B. It does not require training.
C. It has minimal health benefits. D. It should be done in specific areas.
31 What’s the best title for the text?
A. The Risks of a Sedentary Lifestyle
B. The Healthy Lifestyle for All Age Groups
C. The Benefits and Harm Walking Can Bring
D. Walking As Few As 4,000 Steps a Day Can Reduce Risk of Dying
D
Fully self-driving cars, despite the claims of some companies, aren’t exactly ready to hit the roads anytime soon. There’s even a solid case to be made that completely autonomous vehicles (AVs) will never take over everyday travel. Regardless, some urban planners are already looking into ensuring how such a future could be as safe and efficient. According to a team at North Carolina State University, one solution may be changing the more-than-century-old design of traffic signals.
The ubiquity (普遍性) of stop lights’ Red-Yellow-Green phases aren’t just coincidence (巧合). Dating back to 1931, this has served drivers pretty well since then, but the NC State team argues AVs could eventually create the opportunity for better road conditions. Or, at the very least, could benefit from some basic adjustments.
Last year, researchers led by environmental engineering associate professor Ali Hajbabaie created a computer model for city commuting (通勤) patterns which indicated everyday driving could one day actually improve from a sizable pour of AVs. By sharing their massive amounts of real-time sensor information with one another, Hajbabaie and colleagues believe these vehicles could in theory coordinate (使协调) far beyond simple crossroads changes to adjust variables like speed and break times.
To further make the best use of these benefits, they put forward the introduction of a fourth, “white” light to traffic signals. In this model, the “white” phase activates(激活)whenever enough interconnected AVs approach a crossroad. Once lit, the phase indicates nearby drivers should simply follow the car (AV or human) in front of them, instead of trying to anticipate something like a yellow light’s transition time to red. Additionally, such inter-connectivity could communicate with traffic signal systems to determine when it is best for “Walk” and “Do-Not-Walk” pedestrian (行人) signals. Based on their modelling, it appeared that such a change could reduce crossroads jam by at least 40 percent compared to current traffic system optimization software. In doing so, this could improve overall travel times, fuel efficiency, and safety.
32. What can we learn about completely autonomous vehicles (AVs)?
A. They have settled traffic jam problems. B. They have become popular in urban areas.
C. They will take the place of other vehicles. D. They may not be widely used in the future.
33. What does the “white” light do?
A. It tells drivers to stop.
B. It helps drivers avoid traffic jams.
C. It allows drivers to go through crossroads faster.
D. It makes it easier for pedestrians to cross the street.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea of a fourth “white” light?
A. Neutral. B. Worried.
C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
35. What is probably the text?
A. A news report. B. A research paper.
C. A commercial ad. D. A science fiction.

What to Do When You Think Others Are Better than You
When you think others are better than you, it can be easy to be in low spirits. It’s important to remember that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Remember that everyone has their own journey and experiences, and it’s okay not to be the best at everything. There is no need to constantly compare yourself to others. ____36____ Here are some tips for what to do when you think others are better than you.
____37____ Comparison is a very common thing people do, but it’s unfortunately “one of the most helpless things you can do in life,” says Chronister. To try to break the comparison habit, stop accessing social media and unfollow accounts that make you feel envious.
Identify the root causes of your feelings and accept them. Take some time to reflect on why you feel like other people are better than you. Try journaling your negative thoughts. ____38____ However, once you understand the reasons behind your feelings, you’ll be able to accept your past for what it was and begin to move forward.
Reframe (再构造) your negative thoughts and look for evidence to disprove them. ____39____ Then how can you get rid of them? To start reframing your negative thoughts, stop every time you’re talking down to yourself. Consider what exactly you’re thinking about yourself, then try to find evidence to support those “claims”. If there’s no evidence, it’s not true.
Take steps towards loving and accepting yourself in spite of your weaknesses. Practising self-acceptance can help you internalize (内化) the knowledge that you are uniquely beautiful. Nobody’s perfect. So it’s not the end of-the world even when you realize your weaknesses. ____40____
A. This process may take time.
B. Stop comparing yourself to others.
C. Rise to the challenges you encounter.
D. Live your life with a sense of purpose.
E. It’s easy to get stuck in these negative thoughts.
F. Instead, face your individuality and strive for personal growth.
G. On the contrary, it will help you to feel at ease and move forward.

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。
I remembered when I was a child, whenever our teachers or parents asked about our hobbies, my friends and I would always express our love for reading. However, with the development of high technology, I sense our lives are gradually occupied by a variety of entertainment methods. Electronic screens of all sizes are everywhere, and they attract our attention like magnets (吸铁石) and gradually distance us from the world of books. Today’s attracting social media, the excitement of games, movies, TV shows and animated (有生机的) works satisfy our sensory needs, stimulating us to a point that sometimes we forget to eat or sleep.
However, this happiness is short-lived, leaving behind the desire to want more. As a result, many people no longer have the patience to experience the “delayed gratification” that comes from reading.
I have had the same experience before. There was a time when I felt like my life went downhill, and with increased pressure from school, physical tiredness and emotional burdens, I had to watch short videos to distract myself from those troubles.
It is said that the goal of short video creators is to catch the audience’s attention in three seconds. They have a clear understanding of my preferences and viewing habits, and accurately feed their noisy videos on my mobile screen.
Like millions of other users, I am controlled by the algorithm (算法). Whether I am at home, at school, or on the go, I am constantly being taken on a sensory roller coaster (过山车) ride by short videos, which leaves me feeling both physically and mentally tired.
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。
This situation changed when one day I came across an inspiring book

However, when I look around, I find that many people have not been as lucky to find pleasure in reading.

Onions are a useful crop, coming in a range of colours for different uses in the kitchen. Onions are a main course in a huge variety of dishes. All onion varieties are easy to grow and they store well, too, so you can enjoy home-grown onions all year round.
How to grow onions
You can grow onions from seed, but it’s much easier and quicker to grow them from sets(small onions). Most are heat-treated, meaning they’re less likely to produce flowers. One small onion set grows into one larger onion. Plant these in autumn or spring, 10 — 15 cm apart in well-prepared, moisture-retentive (吸湿的), fat soil in full sun. Keep the area weed free and water in dry periods. Harvest the onions when they’re big enough to eat or the leaves have turned brown and started to die away.
How long do onions take to grow?
Onions require 90 — 100 days to mature from seed, which is around four months. From sets, onions are ready to harvest after around 80 days, or just under three months.
How to sow onion seed
Sow onion seed indoors as early as January, so they are large enough to plant out in spring. Sow seed in a pot of wet seed compost (堆肥), about 1 cm apart. When the plants are a few inches tall, pull them out and transplant into fresh, peat-free multi-purpose compost. Once established, transplant plants into the garden, 10 — 15 cm apart.
How to plant onion sets
There’s no need to soak (浸泡) onion sets before planting. Plant them 10 — 15 cm apart, allowing 30 cm between rows. Plant them just below the soil surface, with just the tips showing, in moisture-retentive, fat soil, ideally with plenty of well-rotted organic matter such as garden compost.
21. When can we harvest onions?
A. When they come up. B. When sets are inches tall.
C. When leaves turn brown. D. When they begin to expand.
22. What are you forbidden to do while growing onions?
A. Heat the small onions. B. Put the sets in the water.
C. Pull the sets out to the garden. D. Expose the top out of the soil surface.
23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce. B. To entertain. C. To persuade. D. To advertise.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A
【解析】

Gaia, a 9-year-old dog, lived in Dallas, Texas, with her elderly owner, Sandra. However, when Sandra fell ill and was hospitalized, Gaia found herself limited to a small backyard, longing for companionship. It was during this challenging time that a sympathetic neighbour, Lisa Kanarek, noticed Gaia’s solitude and decided to make a difference.
Despite having only met Sandra a few times and barely knowing Gaia, Lisa extended a helping hand, offering to take Gaia for a walk. What started as a simple act of kindness soon blossomed into a daily routine of walks that lasted for three weeks.
As fate would have it, two weeks before Sandra’s passing, a dean friend of hers approached Lisa with a heartfelt proposal. Aware of the bond formed between Gaia and Lisa, the friend asked if Lisa would consider becoming Gaia’s new caregiver. Without hesitation, Lisa accepted the responsibility, and Gaia officially moved into her new home.
From that moment on, Gaia’s life underwent a transformative journey. Lisa quickly discovered that Gaia had a calm and peaceful presence, especially around children. Inspired by this realization, Lisa and Gaia started with a new adventure by enrolling in a pet therapy (治疗) programme.
Their journey started at children’s hospitals, where Gaia’s gentle behaviour brought comfort and joy to young patients. Following their success, Lisa and Gaia expanded their reach to those in hospice (临终安养院) care.
The two have become a lighthouse for individuals facing difficult circumstances, providing companionship, warmth, and healing through their therapeutic visits.
24. What does the underlined word “solitude” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Contentment. B. Loneliness. C. Anger. D. Excitement.
25. What initially caused Lisa Kanarek to take Gaia for a walk?
A. Her own illness. B. Sandra’s passing.
C. Gaia’s situation. D. A friend’s suggestion.

Even walking as few as 4,000 steps a day may reduce your risk of dying from any cause, the largest analysis to date suggests-although the more you walk, the greater the health benefits.
The idea that a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle is linked to poorer health is well-established, but it has been unclear what the optimal (最佳的) number of steps people should aim for is, and whether there is an upper limit beyond which further health gains are minimal.
To investigate, researchers led by Maciej Banach, a professor of cardiology (心脏病学) at the Medical University of Lodz in Poland, drew on data from 17 previous studies — involving 226,889 people, who were followed for an average seven years — to assess the health impacts of different daily step counts.
The study, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, suggested that walking at least 3,967 steps a day started to reduce the risk of dying from any cause, while 2,337 steps a day reduced the risk of dying from cardiovascular (心血管的) diseases. Above these cut-offs, each increase of 1,000 steps a day was associated with a 15% reduction in the risk of dying from any cause, while an increase of 500 steps a day was associated with a 7% reduction in dying from cardiovascular disease.
“Our study confirms that the more you walk, the better. We found that this applied to both men and women, regardless of age, and regardless of where you live,” Banach said. For younger age groups, the sharpest improvement in health was seen in individuals taking between 7,000 and 13,000 daily steps, while for those aged 60 years and over, it was at between 6,000 to 10,000 steps.
James Leiper the associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said, “This research shows us just how good walking is for our health. If you packaged the benefits as a pill, we would be praising it as a wonder drug. What’s great about walking is that it does not require special equipment or training, and you can do it almost anywhere.”
28. Why did the researchers do the study?
A. To seek reasons for cardiovascular diseases.
B. To compare different ways of keeping healthy.
C. To test whether walking can reduce early death.
D. To find out the ideal number of steps for improved health.
29. How did the researchers draw their conclusions?
A. By comparing the results. B. By listing some examples.
C. By surveying the participants. D. By using data from earlier investigations.
30. What is James Leiper’s opinion about walking?
A. It isn’t a wonder drug. B. It does not require training.
C. It has minimal health benefits. D. It should be done in specific areas.
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The Risks of a Sedentary Lifestyle
B. The Healthy Lifestyle for All Age Groups
C. The Benefits and Harm Walking Can Bring
D. Walking As Few As 4,000 Steps a Day Can Reduce Risk of Dying
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了研究发现每天至少走4000步可以降低死亡风险。文章介绍了研究开展的经过以及发现。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The idea that a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle is linked to poorer health is well-established, but it has been unclear what the optimal (最佳的) number of steps people should aim for is, and whether there is an upper limit beyond which further health gains are minimal.(久坐不动的生活方式与较差的健康状况有关的观点已经得到了证实,但人们的最佳步数应该是多少,以及是否存在一个上限,超过这个上限,进一步的健康益处就会微乎其微,这一点一直不清楚)”可知,研究人员做这项研究是为了找出改善健康的理想步数。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To investigate, researchers led by Maciej Banach, a professor of cardiology (心脏病学) at the Medical University of Lodz in Poland, drew on data from 17 previous studies — involving 226,889 people, who were followed for an average seven years — to assess the health impacts of different daily step counts.(为了进行调查,由波兰罗兹医科大学心脏病学教授Maciej Banach领导的研究人员利用了先前17项研究的数据——涉及226889人,平均随访7年——来评估不同的每日步数对健康的影响)”可知,研究人员通过使用早期调查的数据得出结论。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“What’s great about walking is that it does not require special equipment or training, and you can do it almost anywhere.(步行的好处是它不需要特殊的设备或训练,你几乎可以在任何地方进行)”可知,詹姆斯·莱珀认为步行不需要训练。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Even walking as few as 4,000 steps a day may reduce your risk of dying from any cause, the largest analysis to date suggests-although the more you walk, the greater the health benefits.(一项迄今为止规模最大的分析表明,即使每天只走4000步,也可能降低你死于任何原因的风险——尽管你走得越多,对健康的好处就越大)”结合本文主要介绍了每天至少走4000步可以降低死亡风险。故D选项“每天只走4000步就能降低死亡风险”最符合文章标题。故选D。

Fully self-driving cars, despite the claims of some companies, aren’t exactly ready to hit the roads anytime soon. There’s even a solid case to be made that completely autonomous vehicles (AVs) will never take over everyday travel. Regardless, some urban planners are already looking into ensuring how such a future could be as safe and efficient. According to a team at North Carolina State University, one solution may be changing the more-than-century-old design of traffic signals.
The ubiquity (普遍性) of stop lights’ Red-Yellow-Green phases aren’t just coincidence (巧合). Dating back to 1931, this has served drivers pretty well since then, but the NC State team argues AVs could eventually create the opportunity for better road conditions. Or, at the very least, could benefit from some basic adjustments.
Last year, researchers led by environmental engineering associate professor Ali Hajbabaie created a computer model for city commuting (通勤) patterns which indicated everyday driving could one day actually improve from a sizable pour of AVs. By sharing their massive amounts of real-time sensor information with one another, Hajbabaie and colleagues believe these vehicles could in theory coordinate (使协调) far beyond simple crossroads changes to adjust variables like speed and break times.
To further make the best use of these benefits, they put forward the introduction of a fourth, “white” light to traffic signals. In this model, the “white” phase activates(激活)whenever enough interconnected AVs approach a crossroad. Once lit, the phase indicates nearby drivers should simply follow the car (AV or human) in front of them, instead of trying to anticipate something like a yellow light’s transition time to red. Additionally, such inter-connectivity could communicate with traffic signal systems to determine when it is best for “Walk” and “Do-Not-Walk” pedestrian (行人) signals. Based on their modelling, it appeared that such a change could reduce crossroads jam by at least 40 percent compared to current traffic system optimization software. In doing so, this could improve overall travel times, fuel efficiency, and safety.
32. What can we learn about completely autonomous vehicles (AVs)?
A. They have settled traffic jam problems. B. They have become popular in urban areas.
C. They will take the place of other vehicles. D. They may not be widely used in the future.
33. What does the “white” light do?
A. It tells drivers to stop.
B. It helps drivers avoid traffic jams.
C. It allows drivers to go through crossroads faster.
D. It makes it easier for pedestrians to cross the street.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea of a fourth “white” light?
A. Neutral. B. Worried.
C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
35. What is probably the text?
A. A news report. B. A research paper.
C. A commercial ad. D. A science fiction.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自动驾驶汽车(AVs)的现状以及未来可能的发展趋势,并提出了改变交通信号灯设计以提高交通效率和安全性的建议。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“There’s even a solid case to be made that completely autonomous vehicles (AVs) will never take over everyday travel.( 甚至有充分的理由证明,完全自动驾驶汽车(AVs)永远不会取代日常出行)”可知,完全自动驾驶汽车可能在未来不会得到广泛应用。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“To further make the best use of these benefits, they put forward the introduction of a fourth, “white” light to traffic signals. In this model, the “white” phase activates (激活) whenever enough interconnected AVs approach a crossroad.(为了进一步充分利用这些好处,他们提出在交通信号中引入第四种“白色”灯。在这个模型中,只要有足够多的相互连接的自动驾驶汽车接近十字路口,“白灯”阶段就会激活。)”和“Based on their modelling, it appeared that such a change could reduce crossroads jam by at least 40 percent compared to current traffic system optimization software. (根据他们的模型,与当前的交通系统优化软件相比,这样的变化似乎可以减少至少40%的十字路口拥堵)”可知,“白”灯的作用是帮助减少交通拥堵,使驾驶员避免交通堵塞。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中对第四种“白色”灯的详细描述和“Based on their modelling, it appeared that such a change could reduce crossroads jam by at least 40 percent compared to current traffic system optimization software. In doing so, this could improve overall travel times, fuel efficiency, and safety.(根据他们的模型,与目前的交通系统优化软件相比,这样的改变似乎可以减少至少40%的十字路口拥堵。这样做,可以改善整体旅行时间,燃油效率和安全性)”可以推知,作者对引入第四种“白色”灯的想法是支持的。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Regardless, some urban planners are already looking into ensuring how such a future could be as safe and efficient. According to a team at North Carolina State University, one solution may be changing the more-than-century-old design of traffic signals.(无论如何,一些城市规划者已经在研究如何确保这样的未来同样安全高效。据北卡罗来纳州立大学的一个研究小组称,解决方案之一可能是改变已有一百多年历史的交通信号灯设计)”和下文内容可知,主要介绍了自动驾驶汽车的现状、未来发展趋势以及改变交通信号灯设计的建议,这些内容更符合新闻报道的特点,而不是研究论文、商业广告或科幻小说。故选A项。

What to Do When You Think Others Are Better than You
When you think others are better than you, it can be easy to be in low spirits. It’s important to remember that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Remember that everyone has their own journey and experiences, and it’s okay not to be the best at everything. There is no need to constantly compare yourself to others. ____36____ Here are some tips for what to do when you think others are better than you.
____37____ Comparison is a very common thing people do, but it’s unfortunately “one of the most helpless things you can do in life,” says Chronister. To try to break the comparison habit, stop accessing social media and unfollow accounts that make you feel envious.
Identify the root causes of your feelings and accept them. Take some time to reflect on why you feel like other people are better than you. Try journaling your negative thoughts. ____38____ However, once you understand the reasons behind your feelings, you’ll be able to accept your past for what it was and begin to move forward.
Reframe (再构造) your negative thoughts and look for evidence to disprove them. ____39____ Then how can you get rid of them? To start reframing your negative thoughts, stop every time you’re talking down to yourself. Consider what exactly you’re thinking about yourself, then try to find evidence to support those “claims”. If there’s no evidence, it’s not true.
Take steps towards loving and accepting yourself in spite of your weaknesses. Practising self-acceptance can help you internalize (内化) the knowledge that you are uniquely beautiful. Nobody’s perfect. So it’s not the end of-the world even when you realize your weaknesses. ____40____
A. This process may take time.
B. Stop comparing yourself to others.
C. Rise to the challenges you encounter.
D. Live your life with a sense of purpose.

根据上文“Reframe (再构造) your negative thoughts and look for evidence to disprove them.(重新构建你的消极想法,并寻找证据来反驳它们)”以及后文“Then how can you get rid of them?(那你怎么才能摆脱它们呢?)”可知,本句主要是在说明要摆脱的内容,E选项中these negative thoughts对应后文them。故E选项“我们很容易陷入这些消极的想法中”符合语境,故选E。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Take steps towards loving and accepting yourself in spite of your weaknesses. Practising self-acceptance can help you internalize (内化) the knowledge that you are uniquely beautiful. Nobody’s perfect. So it’s not the end of-the world even when you realize your weaknesses.(尽管你有缺点,还是要采取步骤去爱和接受你自己。练习自我接纳可以帮助你内化你是独一无二的美丽的知识。没有人是完美的。所以即使你意识到自己的弱点,这也不是世界末日)”可知,上文提到意识到自己的缺点不是世界末日,本句为本段最后一句,推测本句说明认识到缺点所带来的好处,与上文构成转折。故G选项“相反,它会帮助你感到轻松并继续前进”符合语境,故选G。

Spring Break System in Schools

【答案】范文
Spring Break System in Schools
Recently, it has been reported that many primary and secondary schools across the country are trying the spring break system. I think this is a good idea. The spring break can give students more time to rest and relax, and also allow them to have more opportunities to explore the outside world and develop their interests.
However, in the implementation of the spring break system, schools also need to make reasonable arrangements to ensure that students’ learning will not be affected. For example, schools can arrange some interesting and educational activities during which students can keep learning and growing.
All in all, the spring break system is a positive attempt, but it also needs the joint efforts of students, schools and governments to make it better.

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。
I remembered when I was a child, whenever our teachers or parents asked about our hobbies, my friends and I would always express our love for reading. However, with the development of high technology, I sense our lives are gradually occupied by a variety of entertainment methods. Electronic screens of all sizes are everywhere, and they attract our attention like magnets (吸铁石) and gradually distance us from the world of books. Today’s attracting social media, the excitement of games, movies, TV shows and animated (有生机的) works satisfy our sensory needs, stimulating us to a point that sometimes we forget to eat or sleep.
However, this happiness is short-lived, leaving behind the desire to want more. As a result, many people no longer have the patience to experience the “delayed gratification” that comes from reading.
I have had the same experience before. There was a time when I felt like my life went downhill, and with increased pressure from school, physical tiredness and emotional burdens, I had to watch short videos to distract myself from those troubles.
It is said that the goal of short video creators is to catch the audience’s attention in three seconds. They have a clear understanding of my preferences and viewing habits and accurately feed their noisy videos on my mobile screen.
Like millions of other users, I am controlled by the algorithm (算法). Whether I am at home, at school, or on the go, I am constantly being taken on a sensory roller coaster (过山车) ride by short videos, which leaves me feeling both physically and mentally tired.

However, when I look around, I find that many people have not been as lucky to find pleasure in reading.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】This situation changed when one day I came across an inspiring book. When I opened the cover and started reading, I felt like being hit hard on my head. I was attracted by the wonderful story and beautiful writing as if I was in the world presented by the author. Although I discovered the characters in the book faced severe survival challenges, they still struggled to live in hardship and fight for their dreams. This spirit deeply inspired me, allowing me to gradually regain my confidence in the future. Now I carry this book with me either at the dining table or during school breaks. I absorb myself in it, feeling the joy and sorrow, love and hate in the book.
However, when I look around, I find that many people have not been as lucky to find pleasure in reading. They gradually moved away from reading, either due to school pressure or the attraction of the virtual world. Some parents have misunderstandings about reading, believing that reading books unrelated to schoolwork will delay children’s studies. I want to say that reading can help us learn new knowledge, better understand human nature and other people, love life more, and become mature and wise. Why should we ever to choose to ignore reading? Finally, I would like to appeal to my peers to protect our eyes and minds, and make wise choices between books and screens.
