Molly Lewis did just that by becoming a professional whistler. Shane O’ Neill writes in The Washington Post, “If you’re a famous comedian, you may get the frightening ‘Tell me a joke!’ from a stranger. If you think that’s bad, try being a professional whistler.” “It happens all the time,” said Molly Lewis with a smile. “Sometimes I’ll oblige.” Lewis released her album, On the Lips, in February, to promote whistling. “People often don’t know much about whistle music apart from some pop songs,” Lewis said. “But I think it’s a beautiful instrument.” People gradually notice whistle music. She whistled a singer’s What Was I Made For? appeared in the Barbie movie. Lewis adds depth to whistling, which is usually seen as cheerful or absent-minded. She is inspired by artists like the couple, Marty and Elayne. “They played for 37 years, five nights a week, and it was very special,” Lewis said. Lewis learned to whistle at four but took it seriously after seeing Pucker Up, a 2005 documentary about competitive whistling. She attended the International Whistlers Convention in 2012 and has performed in music clubs since then. Starting in 2017, Lewis performed shows called Cafe Molly at Zebulon, attracting many notable figures. On tour, she aims to create an atmosphere of elegance, an atmosphere she hopes to bring home with On the Lips. 4. Which can explain the underlined word “oblige” in paragraph 2? A. Ignore. B. Decline. C. Promise. D. Agree. 5. What did Lewis intend to do with her album? A. Stress the role of whistling. B. Get whistling recognized. C. Give credit for a movie. D. Attract youngsters’ attention. 6. What did Lewis think of Marty and Elayne? A. They are excited. B. They are frightened. C They are committed. D. They are stressed. 7. How did Pucker Up affect Lewis? A. It deepened her devotion to whistling. B. It earned her international reputation. C. It gave her easy access to music clubs. D. It recognized her talent as a whistler. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Molly Lewis通过推广口哨音乐，让更多人认识到口哨的美妙，并成为职业吹口哨者的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“If you’re a famous comedian, you may get the frightening ‘Tell me a joke!’ from a stranger. If you think that’s bad, try being a professional whistler.(如果你是一名喜剧演员，在某个时候，你会从一个陌生人那里得到可怕的‘给我讲个笑话!’。如果你认为这很糟糕，试着做一名专业的吹口哨者。)”可知，有时候喜剧演员被陌生人要求讲个笑话，可能会感觉很糟糕，而如果做名专业的吹口哨者则不会有这种糟糕的体验，由此可推测出，“‘It happens all the time,’ said Molly Lewis with a smile. ‘Sometimes I’ll oblige.’”表示的是作为吹口哨者她总会被要求吹个口哨，而她有时候会答应请求，所以猜测oblige表“同意，接受”的意思。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Lewis released her album, On the Lips , in February, to promote whistling.(Lewis于2月发行了她的专辑《On the Lips》，以推广吹口哨。)”可知，她发行这张专辑是为了推广口哨音乐，让更多人认识到口哨音乐的美妙。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第三句“They played for 37 years, five nights a week, and it was very special,(他们练习了37年，每周练习五个晚上，这很特别，)”可知，Molly Lewis认为这对夫妇非常投入和敬业。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Lewis learned to whistle at four but took it seriously after seeing Pucker Up, a 2005 documentary about competitive whistling. She attended the International Whistlers Convention in 2012 and has performed in music clubs since then.(Lewis在四岁时学会了吹口哨，但在观看了2005年关于竞技吹口哨的纪录片《Pucker Up》后，他认真对待了这件事。她于2012年参加了国际惠斯勒大会，此后一直在音乐俱乐部演出。)”可知，这部纪录片让她开始认真对待吹口哨，更加投入其中。故选A项。 C Humor has long been recognized for its positive effects, even in the darkest times. Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane. The play balances humor and heartbreak, providing a fresh idea on the trials of care-giving and the strength of the human spirit. Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son, Alex. The play explores friendship, unconditional mother love, and hope and despair. Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humor, offering the audience brief respites (喘息) from her emotional trouble. The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience. This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex’s condition through the eyes of those who care for him. The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs, which take up most of Mary Jane’s life. Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs. Her interactions with the supporting characters show the importance of community support and humor that help her fight with her daily struggles. One of the most moving parts of the play is that of Mary Jane’s interactions with other mothers of disabled children. They exchange advice, encourage and entertain each other with humor. Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter. Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep. His findings show humor’s physical and psychological benefits. Research also supports the importance of laughter and humor, showing that it can reduce stress, improve mood and resilience. Humor positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicated that humor could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health. 8. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a new play. B. To provide humor in our daily life. C. To emphasize the importance of humor. D. To introduce the way to be humorous. 9. Which words can describe Mary Jane? A. Curious and sensitive. B. Loyal and hardworking. C. Careful and friendly. D. Strong and humorous. 10. What can we learn from the play? A. The audience seldom see Alex in the play. B. Mary Jane has no friends. C. Mary Jane never goes out to work. D. Mary Jane has a considerate husband. 11. How did Cousins recover from his illness? A. By having plenty of exercise. B. By laughing a lot every day. C. By having a balanced diet. D. By taking lots of medicine. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文体裁为说明文。文章主要通过《Mary Jane》展现了幽默在困难时期的重要作用，以及幽默对人身心健康的好处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Humor has long been recognized for its positive effects, even in the darkest times. Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane. The play balances humor and heartbreak, providing a fresh idea on the trials of care-giving and the strength of the human spirit. (即使在最黑暗的时期，幽默也一直被认为具有积极的作用。笑是一座桥梁，帮助人们度过痛苦。这体现在Amy Herzog的新剧《Mary Jane》中。该剧平衡了幽默和心碎，为关怀的考验和人类精神的力量提供了一个新的视角。)”和最后一段“Research also supports the importance of laughter and humor, showing that it can reduce stress, improve mood and resilience. Humor positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicated that humor could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health. (研究也支持笑声和幽默的重要性，表明它可以减轻压力，改善情绪和恢复力。幽默积极而直接地影响着人们的健康。这表明幽默可以缓冲压力，改善整体心理健康。)”可知，文章主要是强调幽默的重要性。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humor, offering the audience brief respites (喘息) from her emotional trouble. (尽管Mary Jane面临着种种挑战，但她的生活充满了幽默，让观众从她的情感烦恼中短暂地解脱出来。)”可知，Mary Jane虽然面临很多挑战，但她的生活充满了幽默，说明她坚强且幽默。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience. (这部剧关注的是人物的情感和心理体验，而不是亚历克斯的身体存在，他基本上是隐藏在观众面前的。)”可知，剧中主要关注的是人物的情感和心理经历，而不是Alex的身体存在，所以观众在剧中很少看到Alex。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter. Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep. (Norman Cousins教授通过每天的笑声记录了他从重病中恢复过来的过程。Cousins发现，十分钟真诚的笑声有麻醉作用，并给他至少两个小时的无痛睡眠。)”可知，Cousins是通过每天笑很多来恢复健康的。故选B。 D Screens are replacing paper in almost every area of communication, but is this good for our mental health? Research shows that reading has many mental health benefits, yet most people choose screen time over books for entertainment. Even in schools, digital learning is taking over, making backpacks lighter but challenging students to stay focused. Reading short posts on social media reduces our attention span, making long books harder to enjoy. This type of reading also uses simple language, offering less exposure to rich vocabulary and ideas. Research indicates that comprehension is six to eight times better with physical books than e-readers. While people may read faster on devices, distractions (使人分心的事物) like social media, ads, and notifications (通知) often prevent them from remembering what they read. Physical books provide a more immersive experience, helping readers understand and remember the content better. Holding a book, turning its pages, and highlighting favorite parts engage the body. Researchers say turning pages helps create a “mental map”, linking what we read to specific pages, which aids memory. The physical actions of reading a book-how you hold it, how your eyes move across the pages-create a unique experience. Unlike e-books, physical books offer a tangible (可感知的) experience, which is important for building strong mental connections. Physical books also offer a social experience that e-readers do not. Visiting a bookstore, asking a librarian for recommendations, or sharing a book with a friend are enjoyable aspects of reading. These social interactions are missed when downloading e-books. Most people strongly prefer printed books. In one study, 92 percent of students said they preferred print over e-books. There’s something special about holding a book, admiring its cover, and seeing your progress with a bookmark. Reading physical books not only improves comprehension but also provides a richer, more engaging experience. 12. Why does digital learning challenge students? A. There is very little to read. B. There are many distractions. C. Digital devices are costly. D. E-books are hard to find. 13. Which helps readers remember content better? A. Reading physical books. B. Using e-readers to read. C. Surfing news websites. D. Reading short media posts. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards physical books? A. Tolerant. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Supportive. 15. What is the main focus of the text? A. Benefits of digital learning. B. Dangers of digital devices. C. Strengths of physical books. D. Changes in reading habits. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是纸质书和电子书相比的各种优势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“Even in schools, digital learning is taking over, making backpacks lighter but challenging students to stay focused. (即使在学校里，数字学习也正在占据主导地位，书包变得更轻了，但学生们很难保持专注。)”可知，数字学习在学校正在占主导地位，学生很难保持专注，结合第二段中的“Reading short posts on social media reduces our attention span, making long books harder to enjoy. (在社交媒体上阅读简短的帖子会缩短我们的注意力，让我们更难享受长篇书籍。)”以及“While people may read faster on devices, distractions (使人分心的事物) like social media, ads, and notifications (通知) often prevent them from remembering what they read. (虽然人们在电子设备上阅读速度更快，但社交媒体、广告和通知等使人分心的事物往往会阻止他们记住所读的内容。)”可知，对学生来说，数字化学习给学生带来挑战是因为有太多使人分心的事物。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Physical books provide a more immersive experience, helping readers understand and remember the content better. (实体书提供了一种更身临其境的体验，帮助读者更好地理解和记忆内容。)”可知，实体书有助于读者更好地理解和记忆内容，由此可知，阅读实体书能帮助读者更好地记住内容。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Physical books provide a more immersive experience, helping readers understand and remember the content better. (实体书提供了一种更身临其境的体验，帮助读者更好地理解和记忆内容。)”以及第三段中的“Unlike e-books, physical books offer a tangible (可感知的) experience, which is important for building strong mental connections. (与电子书不同，实体书提供了一种有形的体验，这对建立牢固的心理联系很重要。)”以及第四段中的“Physical books also offer a social experience that e-readers do not. (实体书还提供了电子阅读器无法提供的社交体验。)”可知，作者在文中提到了很多阅读实体书有助于记忆、建立牢固的心理联系，以及提供社交体验等好处，由此可推断，作者对阅读实体书持支持赞成的态度。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。本文首先在前两段介绍了数字化学习存在的一些问题，进而在下文介绍了阅读实体书有助于记忆、建立牢固的心理联系，以及提供社交体验等好处，结合尾段中的“In one study, 92 percent of students said they preferred print over e-books. There’s something special about holding a book, admiring its cover, and seeing your progress with a bookmark. Reading physical books not only improves comprehension but also provides a richer, more engaging experience. (在一项研究中，92%的学生表示他们更喜欢纸质书而不是电子书。拿着一本书，欣赏它的封面，通过书签看到你的进步，这是一种特别的感觉。阅读实体书不仅能提高理解力，还能提供更丰富、更吸引人的体验。)”可知，阅读实体书不仅能提高理解力，还能提供更丰富、更吸引人的体验，由此可知，文章的主要焦点在于阅读实体书的好处。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题; 每小题 2.5分, 满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some of the toughest battles you ever face are inside yourself. ___16___ How do you master self-control and become your best self? Let’s take a look. Here are some tips that may give you some help. Know yourself. If you try to force yourself to be disciplined (自我控制) without self-awareness, it’s likely to backfire and not work well at all. ___17___ This means that you need to have a good handle on your strengths and weaknesses. Only by doing this can you become clued in about what you need to do in order to succeed at self-discipline. Find your purpose. Self-control or self-discipline don’t happen by mistake. They happen when you make a conscious choice and do your best to stick to it. However, no matter how hard you try, much of self-discipline depends on why you’re being disciplined and what your goal is. ___18___ Start small. Discipline is a process, and it needs to start small. It’s better to get one part of your life regimented (整齐的) rather than somewhat improve various parts of your life and have somewhat more discipline. ___19___ Instead, start small with gaining discipline in a specific area or areas of your life and work outwards from there. ___20___ Another of the great strategies for mastering self-control is to have role models to look up to. Nobody is perfect, and every idol has some faults. However, by having an ideal to look up to, you will keep yourself inspired on a regular basis to chase your dreams and try to stick to self-discipline. A. Follow in great people’s footsteps. B. You need to overcome your shortcomings first. C. That’s why it’s so crucial to find your purpose. D. Avoid making too many big goals at the beginning. E. This is especially true when speaking about self-control. F. It’s crucial to have self-knowledge if you want to have self-discipline, G. Don’t try to put everything all in at once when you work towards your goal. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. C 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种能够帮助人们自控自律的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上句“Some of the toughest battles you ever face are inside yourself. (你所面临的一些最艰难的斗争是在你的内心。)”，选项E. This is especially true when speaking about self-control.(在谈到自我控制时尤其如此。)中的“This”指代了上句提到的内心斗争的情况，同时句中的“self-control”与下句“How do you master self-control and become your best self? (如何掌握自我控制，成为最好的自己？)”的“self-control”相连接，引出了下句的问题，语意相连，承上启下。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上句“If you try to force yourself to be disciplined（自我控制）without self-awareness, it’s likely to backfire and not work well at all. (如果你在没有自我意识的情况下强迫自己自我控制，很可能适得其反，根本起不到什么作用。)”，选项F. It’s crucial to have self-knowledge if you want to have self-discipline,(如果你想要自律，有自知之明是至关重要的，)中的“self-knowledge”和上句中的“self-awareness”相对应，意思相同；下句“This means that you need to have a good handle on your strengths and weaknesses.( 这意味着你需要很好地把握自己的长处和短处。)”中的“This”指代选项F的句意，进一步解释了要有自知之明意味着要了解自己的优缺点，且符合段落主题“Know yourself(了解自己)”。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上句“However, no matter how hard you try, much of self-discipline depends on why you’re being disciplined and what your goal is.(然而，无论你多么努力，自律在很大程度上取决于你为什么要自律，以及你的目标是什么。)”，选项C. That’s why it’s so crucial to find your purpose.(这就是为什么找到你的目标是如此重要。)总结了找到目标对自律很重要，承接上文，呼应该段主题“Find your purpose(找到你的目标）”。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上句“It’s better to get one part of your life regimented（整齐的）rather than somewhat improve various parts of your life and have somewhat more discipline. (让你生活的一部分得到管理，而不是在某种程度上改善你生活的各个部分，并有更多的纪律。)”，选项G. Don’t try to put everything all in at once when you work towards your goal.(当你朝着你的目标努力时，不要试图一次把所有的事情都做好。)进一步说明了不要试图一次性改善生活的全部，而是要先从一部分开始，这与下句“Instead, start small with gaining discipline in a specific area or areas of your life and work outwards from there.(相反，从小事做起，在你生活的一个或几个特定领域获得纪律，并从那里向外发展。)”意思相符，语意衔接合理。故选G。 【20题详解】 空处为段落主题句，参考二、三、四段，应用祈使句；根据下句“Another of the great strategies for mastering self-control is to have role models to look up to. (掌握自我控制的另一个重要策略是有榜样来学习。)”和下文“However, by having an ideal to look up to, you will keep yourself inspired on a regular basis to chase your dreams and try to stick to self-discipline.(然而，有了一个可以仰望的理想，你就会经常激励自己去追逐梦想，并努力坚持自律。)”可知，该段主要建议人们可以树立一个偶像或榜样来学习，选项A. Follow in great people’s footsteps.(追随伟人的脚步。)为祈使句，符合本段主题。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（共 15 小题; 每小题 1分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the UK, one in every three children lives in poverty.

Mavis had expressed her deep longing to spend her precious last moments in the comfort of her own home, recalling the beautiful memories she shared with her late husband, Ron. As the nurses started the journey, they thought a depressing atmosphere but were pleasantly surprised by Mavis’s lively spirit. She actively engaged in conversation, sharing stories from her extraordinary life. Mavis spoke with great fondness about the unforgettable meeting with Ron on the Clovelly Beach and their shared passion for the great ocean. Her words resonated(产生共鸣)deeply with Ray, who was moved by her heartfelt emotions. It was at that moment that Ray had an idea, an opportunity to make Mavis's final journey even more meaningful. With Mavis’s enthusiastic agreement, Dave and Ray decided to make a tour on their route and pass by the beloved beach that held such cherished memories for her. The ambulance drove towards the beach, and as they arrived, the attracting scent of the ocean filled the air. The sound of waves brought a sense of peace to the atmosphere. In those precious moments, Dave and Ray stood beside Mavis’s wheelchair witnessing the joy and peace coming from her. With closed eyes, she welcomed the warmth of the sun on her face, enjoying the sounds of the waves as they crashed and moved away. Memories of her joyous childhood playing in the sand flooded her mind, along with the cherished moments spent with her beloved Ron. She also held clearly the memories of building sandcastles and playing on the beach with her own children. In these moments of meaningful reflection, Mavis happily expressed, “I’m at peace. Everything feels right.” 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。 Before leaving the beach, Dave and Ray asked Mavis if they could take a picture for her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sadly, Mavis passed away 20 hours later, unable to make it back home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Before leaving the beach, Dave and Ray asked Mavis if they could take a picture for her. Mavis nodded gently, a soft smile gracing her lips. With the vast ocean as her backdrop, they captured her serenity—the warmth of the sun on her face, the gentle breeze ruffling her hair. Dave and Ray promised to deliver this precious picture to her family. Finally, with tears in her eyes, Mavis gazed at them and spoke affectionately,“ Thank you all. It is you who have enriched my life, making me feel that this world is filled with so many good people and that my life is so fantastic. I will die without anything to regret!” Sadly Mavis passed away 20 hours later, unable to make it back home. When her family received the photograph, tears welled up in their eyes, with a bittersweet mixture of sorrow and gratitude. Though their hearts ached, they found solace in knowing that Mavis had found peace and joy in her final moments, surrounded by the beauty of the ocean she loved. The picture became a cherished memento, a testament to a life well-lived and a final journey filled with love and compassion. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述新南威尔士州Wauchope救护车服务中心的护士Dave Moran和Ray Smythe送Mavis去临终护理部，在途中Mavis分享她非凡生活的故事，讲到她与Ron在Clovelly海滩的难忘会面，以及他们对大海的共同热情。最后Dave Moran和Ray Smythe决定在Mavis最后时候带她去拿海滩重温这美妙的时刻。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在离开海滩之前，Dave和Ray问Mavis是否可以给她拍张照片。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Mavis同意拍照并感谢他们。 ②由第二段首句内容“遗憾的是，Mavis在20小时后去世，无法回家。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Mavis家人收到这张照片并珍藏起。 2.续写线索：征求给Mavis拍照——Mavis同意——答应送照片给Mavis家人—— Mavis感谢——Mavis去世——Mavis家人收到照片并珍藏 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.传送：deliver/send ②.凝视：gaze at /stare at/look at fixedly ③.喜爱：love/be fond of 情绪类 ①.感激：gratitude/thanks/appreciation ②.快乐：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B There are many kinds of jobs in the world, and if people can’t find their ideal job, they can always create one. Molly Lewis did just that by becoming a professional whistler. Shane O’ Neill writes in The Washington Post, “If you’re a famous comedian, you may get the frightening ‘Tell me a joke!’ from a stranger. If you think that’s bad, try being a professional whistler.” “It happens all the time,” said Molly Lewis with a smile. “Sometimes I’ll oblige.” Lewis released her album, On the Lips, in February, to promote whistling. “People often don’t know much about whistle music apart from some pop songs,” Lewis said. “But I think it’s a beautiful instrument.” People gradually notice whistle music. She whistled a singer’s What Was I Made For? appeared in the Barbie movie. Lewis adds depth to whistling, which is usually seen as cheerful or absent-minded. She is inspired by artists like the couple, Marty and Elayne. “They played for 37 years, five nights a week, and it was very special,” Lewis said. Lewis learned to whistle at four but took it seriously after seeing Pucker Up, a 2005 documentary about competitive whistling. She attended the International Whistlers Convention in 2012 and has performed in music clubs since then. Starting in 2017, Lewis performed shows called Cafe Molly at Zebulon, attracting many notable figures. On tour, she aims to create an atmosphere of elegance, an atmosphere she hopes to bring home with On the Lips. 4. Which can explain the underlined word “oblige” in paragraph 2? A. Ignore. B. Decline. C. Promise. D. Agree. 5. What did Lewis intend to do with her album? A. Stress the role of whistling. B. Get whistling recognized. C. Give credit for a movie. D. Attract youngsters’ attention. 6.

It deepened her devotion to whistling. B. It earned her international reputation. C. It gave her easy access to music clubs. D. It recognized her talent as a whistler. C Humor has long been recognized for its positive effects, even in the darkest times. Laughter serves as a bridge, helping individuals get through pain. This is shown in Amy Herzog’s new play, Mary Jane. The play balances humor and heartbreak, providing a fresh idea on the trials of care-giving and the strength of the human spirit. Mary Jane tells the story of a single mother who raises her disabled son, Alex. The play explores friendship, unconditional mother love, and hope and despair. Despite all the challenges she faces, Mary Jane’s life is filled with humor, offering the audience brief respites (喘息) from her emotional trouble. The play focuses on the characters’ emotional and psychological experiences rather than the physical presence of Alex who is mostly hidden from the audience. This is achieved by showing the influence of Alex’s condition through the eyes of those who care for him. The audience feels the weight of his absence and his various needs, which take up most of Mary Jane’s life. Mary Jane tries hard to meet the demands of her job while managing her son’s constant medical needs. Her interactions with the supporting characters show the importance of community support and humor that help her fight with her daily struggles. One of the most moving parts of the play is that of Mary Jane’s interactions with other mothers of disabled children. They exchange advice, encourage and entertain each other with humor. Norman Cousins, a professor, recorded his recovery from a severe illness through daily laughter. Cousins discovered that ten minutes of genuine laughter had an anesthetic (麻醉的) effect and gave him at least two hours of pain-free sleep. His findings show humor’s physical and psychological benefits. Research also supports the importance of laughter and humor, showing that it can reduce stress, improve mood and resilience. Humor positively and directly affects people’s health. This indicated that humor could buffer against stress and improve overall mental health. 8. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a new play. B. To provide humor in our daily life. C. To emphasize the importance of humor. D. To introduce the way to be humorous. 9. Which words can describe Mary Jane? A. Curious and sensitive. B. Loyal and hardworking. C. Careful and friendly. D. Strong and humorous. 10. What can we learn from the play? A. The audience seldom see Alex in the play. B. Mary Jane has no friends. C. Mary Jane never goes out to work. D. Mary Jane has a considerate husband. 11. How did Cousins recover from his illness? A. By having plenty of exercise. B. By laughing a lot every day. C. By having a balanced diet. D. By taking lots of medicine. D Screens are replacing paper in almost every area of communication, but is this good for our mental health? Research shows that reading has many mental health benefits, yet most people choose screen time over books for entertainment. Even in schools, digital learning is taking over, making backpacks lighter but challenging students to stay focused. Reading short posts on social media reduces our attention span, making long books harder to enjoy. This type of reading also uses simple language, offering less exposure to rich vocabulary and ideas. Research indicates that comprehension is six to eight times better with physical books than e-readers. While people may read faster on devices, distractions (使人分心的事物) like social media, ads, and notifications (通知) often prevent them from remembering what they read. Physical books provide a more immersive experience, helping readers understand and remember the content better. Holding a book, turning its pages, and highlighting favorite parts engage the body. Researchers say turning pages helps create a “mental map”, linking what we read to specific pages, which aids memory. The physical actions of reading a book-how you hold it, how your eyes move across the pages-create a unique experience. Unlike e-books, physical books offer a tangible (可感知的) experience, which is important for building strong mental connections. Physical books also offer a social experience that e-readers do not. Visiting a bookstore, asking a librarian for recommendations, or sharing a book with a friend are enjoyable aspects of reading. These social interactions are missed when downloading e-books. Most people strongly prefer printed books. In one study, 92 percent of students said they preferred print over e-books. There’s something special about holding a book, admiring its cover, and seeing your progress with a bookmark. Reading physical books not only improves comprehension but also provides a richer, more engaging experience. 12. Why does digital learning challenge students? A. There is very little to read. B.

Let’s take a look. Here are some tips that may give you some help. Know yourself. If you try to force yourself to be disciplined (自我控制) without self-awareness, it’s likely to backfire and not work well at all. ___17___ This means that you need to have a good handle on your strengths and weaknesses. Only by doing this can you become clued in about what you need to do in order to succeed at self-discipline. Find your purpose. Self-control or self-discipline don’t happen by mistake. They happen when you make a conscious choice and do your best to stick to it. However, no matter how hard you try, much of self-discipline depends on why you’re being disciplined and what your goal is. ___18___ Start small. Discipline is a process, and it needs to start small. It’s better to get one part of your life regimented (整齐的) rather than somewhat improve various parts of your life and have somewhat more discipline. ___19___ Instead, start small with gaining discipline in a specific area or areas of your life and work outwards from there. ___20___ Another of the great strategies for mastering self-control is to have role models to look up to. Nobody is perfect, and every idol has some faults. However, by having an ideal to look up to, you will keep yourself inspired on a regular basis to chase your dreams and try to stick to self-discipline. A Follow in great people’s footsteps. B. You need to overcome your shortcomings first. C. That’s why it’s so crucial to find your purpose. D. Avoid making too many big goals at the beginning. E. This is especially true when speaking about self-control. F. It’s crucial to have self-knowledge if you want to have self-discipline, G. Don’t try to put everything all in at once when you work towards your goal. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（共 15 小题; 每小题 1分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the UK, one in every three children lives in poverty.

Mavis had expressed her deep longing to spend her precious last moments in the comfort of her own home, recalling the beautiful memories she shared with her late husband, Ron. As the nurses started the journey, they thought a depressing atmosphere but were pleasantly surprised by Mavis’s lively spirit. She actively engaged in conversation, sharing stories from her extraordinary life. Mavis spoke with great fondness about the unforgettable meeting with Ron on the Clovelly Beach and their shared passion for the great ocean. Her words resonated(产生共鸣)deeply with Ray, who was moved by her heartfelt emotions. It was at that moment that Ray had an idea, an opportunity to make Mavis's final journey even more meaningful. With Mavis’s enthusiastic agreement, Dave and Ray decided to make a tour on their route and pass by the beloved beach that held such cherished memories for her. The ambulance drove towards the beach, and as they arrived, the attracting scent of the ocean filled the air. The sound of waves brought a sense of peace to the atmosphere. In those precious moments, Dave and Ray stood beside Mavis’s wheelchair witnessing the joy and peace coming from her. With closed eyes, she welcomed the warmth of the sun on her face, enjoying the sounds of the waves as they crashed and moved away. Memories of her joyous childhood playing in the sand flooded her mind, along with the cherished moments spent with her beloved Ron. She also held clearly the memories of building sandcastles and playing on the beach with her own children. In these moments of meaningful reflection, Mavis happily expressed, “I’m at peace. Everything feels right.” 注意: 1. 续写词数应150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before leaving the beach, Dave and Ray asked Mavis if they could take a picture for her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sadly, Mavis passed away 20 hours later, unable to make it back home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
