Fancy a Walk?
I am not an outdoor person. The outdoors is wet, cold, and there’s nowhere to charge the mobile phone. So you can imagine my surprise when my teacher asked me, “Lynsey, would you like to join us on a walk in the Castillian countryside?”
My first thought? Sink into a cozy sofa, please!
But as a new comer, I needed to make friends. Or as my mum always said, “Lynsey, open the envelope (信封) if you’ re invited.” And you know how mums have a nasty (讨厌的) habit of being right.
So I said “Yes”. Anyway it was only a walk—how bad could it be? Famous last words, eh?
“Great,” said the teacher, “See you at the school gate at 8:00 AM this Saturday and bring your walking boots.”
But when we started off, the walk was not what I thought. I was expecting a nice peaceful saunter (闲逛) through flower fields, maybe a nice lunch.
No such luck.
And “trekking” is really the only word for it: we climbed up rocks, fought our way through trees, and slid down muddy slopes. Although I felt like the living dead, I made it because of the help and encouragement from my classmates. On the bus ride back, my headteacher asked, “Enjoy the trek, did we, Lynsey?” Upon hearing the question, I thought to myself, “Yes, I did enjoy it!” Finally, they even invited me to go on the next “walk”. Surprisingly, I nodded and gave them a big smile!
I had to say this was quite possibly the hardest day of my life for this pleasure, but it was worth all my effort.
22. Lynsey decided to join the walk because ________.
A. she loved outdoor activities B. her mum would go with her
C. her teacher would give her a surprise D. she needed to make new friends

When faced with stress or hardship, who do you turn to for help? Who has the power to lift your spirits? Perhaps it’s your mom or dad, or an understanding friend who really cares about you.
We all know that spending time with good friends makes us happier. Scientists have even put this feeling to the test, and have found that teen friendships have to do with psychological (心理的) well-being. A study of 108 high school students in Australia found that strong friendships were pretty helpful for teens after a stressful event, such as failing a test. Teens being with friends were reported to have lower levels of sadness, jealousy, and worry.
In fact, friendship not only provides support in the short term, but also influences a person in general in the long run. The researchers interviewed 169 fifteen-year-old teenagers, and tracked their progress over 10 years. Each year, these people were also asked to do a survey testing their levels of anxiety, depression (压抑), and self-worth. As the results showed, having close bonds with friends would reduce people’s levels of anxiety, depression, and improve self-worth. In addition, another study in the journal Child Development found that having good teenage friendships might help teens become better parents in the future. This is because they show more empathy (同理心) to their close friends, which helps them develop better parenting skills. Dr. Jessica A. Stern, in an interview with Psychology Today, emphasized (强调), “When you’re a teenager, close friendships are an important ‘training ground’ for developing social skills and learning how to care for others in more mature ways when you grow up.”
However, does having many friends necessarily mean more happiness? In fact, having a lot of friends in one’s friend circle doesn’t always bring mental health benefits. Instead, having too many friends can sometimes lead to social anxiety. The key to teen friendships lies not in the number of friends, but in the closeness and quality of a few good ones. It’s the deep understanding and being understood by another person that help teenagers develop necessary social skills for the future.
As we can see, friendships during teenage years play a key role in psychological well-being. We always hope that friendships last forever, even if it isn’t always the case. Developing close teen friendships can pave the way for a happier, more worthwhile life ahead.
25. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Having good teen friends brings long-term benefits to a person.
B. Having close bonds with family reduces people’s levels of anxiety.
C. Teenagers can train their social skills with the help of their parents.
D. Good teen friendships help improve physical health in the long run.
26. What does the writer probably agree with?
A. Developing close teen friendships helps improve social skills.
B. Being with friends is helpful for teens before a stressful event.
C. The more friends a teen has, the happier he or she will become.
D. Forming close teen relationships in fact lowers one’s self-worth.
27. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show the ways to make more friends.
B. To explore the true meaning of happiness.
C. To stress the difficulty of making real friends.
D. To introduce the influence of teen friendships.
【答案】25. A 26. A 27. D

Many people hold the belief that the personality you have by your 20s will stay the same and remain unchanged for the rest of your life. However, research shows that with intention and effort, you can develop new traits (特点) and improve yourself throughout your lifetime.
According to Mohsen Joshanloo from Keimyung University, “Personality theories have emphasized the importance of the changing nature of personality traits.” This suggests that your personality is not fixed and can evolve. Joshanloo further argues that a key factor in this slow process is having a sense of purpose.
The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) led by Joshanloo, collected data from more than11,000 adults over four periods (时期) between 2010 and 2022. Participants filled out a 31-question survey about their personality traits, assessing traits such as openness and agreeableness. They also finished a 7-item questionnaire about feeling a sense of purpose, with questions like “I enjoy making plans for the future.” The results showed that people who felt more purposeful became more open to new things and less worried over time.
So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life? Joshanloo suggests understanding and practicing the theory of “Purpose As Trait, Habit, and State” (PATHS). At the trait level, a sense of purpose can be viewed as an overall life goal. At the habit level, it involves engaging in daily, purposeful behaviors. And at the state level, it describes the moment-to-moment feeling that one’s actions are meaningful. Therefore, start with small actions.
To practice this “bottom-up” approach, you can start by adding small, meaningful activities into your daily routine. Instead of stressing big life goals, try engaging in enjoyable activities, like taking up a new hobby whether it’s drawing, cooking, or something else. These small, meaningful actions can gradually build a stronger sense of purpose.
In summary, shaping your personality may be not that difficult. By making easy changes in your daily life and developing a sense of purpose, you can take meaningful steps toward personal growth.
28. What does the word “evolve” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. change at once B. develop over time C. get worse easily D. stay the same
29. According to Joshanloo, people can probably build a stronger sense of purpose by ________.
A. drawing mind maps about life B. beginning with simple actions
C. doing as many tasks as possible D. looking back on childhood successes
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We can develop new traits without any efforts or intentions.
B. A higher sense of purpose can encourage us to realize dreams.
C. Key factors in personal growth are openness and agreeableness.
D. The theory of PATHS helps us build a stronger sense of purpose.
31. Which could be the best title for this passage?
A. Simple Steps to Build a Meaningful Life
B. Influence of Personality Traits on Growth
C. The Power of Purpose in Shaping Personality
D. The Roles of Habits in Changing Our Actions
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要论述了“人格特质不是一成不变”的观点,以及在日常生活中如何培养更高的目标感。
【28题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Personality theories have emphasized the importance of the changing nature of personality traits.”和“your personality is not fixed and can evolve”可知,人格理论强调了人格特质是不断变化的,所以你的人格并不是固定的,是可以慢慢改变的,B选项“随着时间的推移而发展”符合词义。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据“So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life?”和“Therefore, start with small actions.”可知,生活中要培养更强的目标感应该从小事做起。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据“So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life? Joshanloo suggests understanding and practicing the theory of ‘Purpose As Trait, Habit, and State’”可知,PATHS的理解和实践有助于我们建立更强的目标感。故选D。
【31题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“In summary, shaping your personality may be not that difficult. By making easy changes in your daily life and developing a sense of purpose, you can take meaningful steps toward personal growth.”可知,文章主要讲述了如何通过在日常生活中做出改变来培养目标感,进而塑造自己的人格,选项C“目标在塑造人格中的力量”符合原文大意。故选C。

Kindness Counts
Do you believe that small acts of kindness have a greater influence than you think?
Research has shown that adults undervalue the influence of random (随机的) acts of kindness. They don’t think that kind actions will make too much of a difference. To find out what kids would think of small acts of kindness, researchers Echelbarger and Epley did an experiment. In 2023, they published a study in the Journal of Experimental (实验的) Psychology, in which they described their experiment.
The experiment took place at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, in Chicago. Researchers spoke with 101 kids who were visiting the museum. And they gave each kid two free, museum-branded pencils. The kids could take both pencils home or they could give one of the pencils to a stranger.
Before giving away the pencil, the researchers asked the kids to guess how “big” their act of kindness would be to the people who receive the gift. Would the person be happy? Or would the gift feel like no big deal?
Many kids had trouble guessing, says Yanyi Leng, a research assistant who helped with the experiment. Leng told TIME for Kids that some of the children said, “I’d like to give my pencil... but I’m not sure how they’re going to feel.”
In fact, people who received the pencils were much happier than the givers had predicted. Additionally, the kids felt satisfied after giving the pencils to others. “It proves (证明) the power of these small, random acts of kindness,” Echelbarger says. “Like, ‘You could have chosen anyone, but you chose me.’”
Echelbarger and Epley’s study proves that doing good feels good. This is true for the kid on the receiving end of a good deed as well as for the kid who performs it.
32. Why did Echelbarger and Epley do the experiment?
__________________________________
33. What could kids do with the pencils?

34. How did the kids feel after giving the pencils to others?

【解析】
【导语】本文通过描述一项实验,探讨了小小的善举,尽管简单,却能够给予他人和自己带来意想不到的快乐和满足感。

Undoubtedly, these new learning methods will make my study easy and convenient. It will not only improve my learning efficiency but also make learning more enjoyable. I’m expecting the future life.
例文2丰富版:
In the future, the classroom will transform into a high-tech haven. Thanks to AI technology, students will be able to accomplish numerous tasks without even stepping outside the classroom walls. For instance, they can engage in English conversations with a highly intelligent robot or take virtual tours of historical sites in other countries. The immersive nature of these virtual tours will make learning a fascinating journey. Robots can also provide one-on-one services for both students and teachers. For students, having a patient and knowledgeable companion guides them to deal with complex subjects, offer explanations that fully suit their learning styles. For teachers, targeted feedback on student progress will suggest more effective teaching strategies.
AI will undoubtedly have a strong impact on my learning. It will serve as my personal assistant, reminding me of task deadlines so that I can manage my time more effectively. Moreover, AI will identify my strengths and weaknesses and offer learning materials tailored to my needs. Whether it’s additional practice in a challenging subject area or more advanced resources to stretch my abilities, AI will ensure that I am always engaged in learning that is both challenging and rewarding. Whenever I encounter problems, I can rely on AI.
I firmly believe that with the support of AI I can become more actively involved in learning and develop deeper into the things that ignite my interests and curiosity. It will also stimulate creative thinking and enhance my problem-solving skills. In a nutshell, with the aid of AI, the future of learning is bound to be a more efficient, enjoyable, and fulfilling journey.

Fancy a Walk?
I am not an outdoor person. The outdoors is wet, cold, and there’s nowhere to charge the mobile phone. So you can imagine my surprise when my teacher asked me, “Lynsey, would you like to join us on a walk in the Castillian countryside?”
My first thought? Sink into a cozy sofa, please!
But as a new comer, I needed to make friends. Or as my mum always said, “Lynsey, open the envelope (信封) if you’ re invited.” And you know how mums have a nasty (讨厌的) habit of being right.
So I said “Yes”. Anyway it was only a walk—how bad could it be? Famous last words, eh?
“Great,” said the teacher, “See you at the school gate at 8:00 AM this Saturday and bring your walking boots.”
But when we started off, the walk was not what I thought. I was expecting a nice peaceful saunter (闲逛) through flower fields, maybe a nice lunch.
No such luck.
And “trekking” is really the only word for it: we climbed up rocks, fought our way through trees, and slid down muddy slopes. Although I felt like the living dead, I made it because of the help and encouragement from my classmates. On the bus ride back, my headteacher asked, “Enjoy the trek, did we, Lynsey?” Upon hearing the question, I thought to myself, “Yes, I did enjoy it!” Finally, they even invited me to go on the next “walk”. Surprisingly, I nodded and gave them a big smile!
I had to say this was quite possibly the hardest day of my life for this pleasure, but it was worth all my effort.
22. Lynsey decided to join the walk because ________.
A. she loved outdoor activities B. her mum would go with her
C. her teacher would give her a surprise D. she needed to make new friends
23. For Lynsey, the “trekking” was hard but ________.
A. peaceful B. enjoyable C. relaxing D. comfortable
24. What did the writer learn from the experience?
A. What goes up must come down. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. You never know until you try. D. Two heads are better than one.
C
When faced with stress or hardship, who do you turn to for help? Who has the power to lift your spirits? Perhaps it’s your mom or dad, or an understanding friend who really cares about you.
We all know that spending time with good friends makes us happier. Scientists have even put this feeling to the test, and have found that teen friendships have to do with psychological (心理的) well-being. A study of 108 high school students in Australia found that strong friendships were pretty helpful for teens after a stressful event, such as failing a test. Teens being with friends were reported to have lower levels of sadness, jealousy, and worry.
In fact, friendship not only provides support in the short term, but also influences a person in general in the long run. The researchers interviewed 169 fifteen-year-old teenagers, and tracked their progress over 10 years. Each year, these people were also asked to do a survey testing their levels of anxiety, depression (压抑), and self-worth. As the results showed, having close bonds with friends would reduce people’s levels of anxiety, depression, and improve self-worth. In addition, another study in the journal Child Development found that having good teenage friendships might help teens become better parents in the future. This is because they show more empathy (同理心) to their close friends, which helps them develop better parenting skills. Dr. Jessica A. Stern, in an interview with Psychology Today, emphasized (强调), “When you’re a teenager, close friendships are an important ‘training ground’ for developing social skills and learning how to care for others in more mature ways when you grow up.”
However, does having many friends necessarily mean more happiness? In fact, having a lot of friends in one’s friend circle doesn’t always bring mental health benefits. Instead, having too many friends can sometimes lead to social anxiety. The key to teen friendships lies not in the number of friends, but in the closeness and quality of a few good ones. It’s the deep understanding and being understood by another person that help teenagers develop necessary social skills for the future.
As we can see, friendships during teenage years play a key role in psychological well-being. We always hope that friendships last forever, even if it isn’t always the case. Developing close teen friendships can pave the way for a happier, more worthwhile life ahead.
25 What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Having good teen friends brings long-term benefits to a person.
B. Having close bonds with family reduces people’s levels of anxiety.
C. Teenagers can train their social skills with the help of their parents.
D. Good teen friendships help improve physical health in the long run.
26. What does the writer probably agree with?
A. Developing close teen friendships helps improve social skills.
B. Being with friends is helpful for teens before a stressful event.
C. The more friends a teen has, the happier he or she will become.
D. Forming close teen relationships in fact lowers one’s self-worth.
27. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show the ways to make more friends.
B. To explore the true meaning of happiness.
C. To stress the difficulty of making real friends.
D To introduce the influence of teen friendships.
D
Many people hold the belief that the personality you have by your 20s will stay the same and remain unchanged for the rest of your life. However, research shows that with intention and effort, you can develop new traits (特点) and improve yourself throughout your lifetime.
According to Mohsen Joshanloo from Keimyung University, “Personality theories have emphasized the importance of the changing nature of personality traits.” This suggests that your personality is not fixed and can evolve. Joshanloo further argues that a key factor in this slow process is having a sense of purpose.
The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) led by Joshanloo, collected data from more than11,000 adults over four periods (时期) between 2010 and 2022. Participants filled out a 31-question survey about their personality traits, assessing traits such as openness and agreeableness. They also finished a 7-item questionnaire about feeling a sense of purpose, with questions like “I enjoy making plans for the future.” The results showed that people who felt more purposeful became more open to new things and less worried over time.
So, how can you develop a stronger sense of purpose in our daily life? Joshanloo suggests understanding and practicing the theory of “Purpose As Trait, Habit, and State” (PATHS). At the trait level, a sense of purpose can be viewed as an overall life goal. At the habit level, it involves engaging in daily, purposeful behaviors. And at the state level, it describes the moment-to-moment feeling that one’s actions are meaningful. Therefore, start with small actions.
To practice this “bottom-up” approach, you can start by adding small, meaningful activities into your daily routine. Instead of stressing big life goals, try engaging in enjoyable activities, like taking up a new hobby whether it’s drawing, cooking, or something else. These small, meaningful actions can gradually build a stronger sense of purpose.
In summary, shaping your personality may be not that difficult. By making easy changes in your daily life and developing a sense of purpose, you can take meaningful steps toward personal growth.
28. What does the word “evolve” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. change at once B. develop over time C. get worse easily D. stay the same
29. According to Joshanloo, people can probably build a stronger sense of purpose by ________.
A. drawing mind maps about life B. beginning with simple actions
C. doing as many tasks as possible D. looking back on childhood successes
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. We can develop new traits without any efforts or intentions.
B. A higher sense of purpose can encourage us to realize dreams.
C. Key factors in personal growth are openness and agreeableness.
D. The theory of PATHS helps us build a stronger sense of purpose.
31. Which could be the best title for this passage?
A. Simple Steps to Build a Meaningful Life
B. Influence of Personality Traits on Growth
C. The Power of Purpose in Shaping Personality
D. The Roles of Habits in Changing Our Actions

阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Kindness Counts
Do you believe that small acts of kindness have a greater influence than you think?
Research has shown that adults undervalue the influence of random (随机的) acts of kindness. They don’t think that kind actions will make too much of a difference. To find out what kids would think of small acts of kindness, researchers Echelbarger and Epley did an experiment. In 2023, they published a study in the Journal of Experimental (实验的) Psychology, in which they described their experiment.
The experiment took place at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, in Chicago. Researchers spoke with 101 kids who were visiting the museum. And they gave each kid two free, museum-branded pencils. The kids could take both pencils home or they could give one of the pencils to a stranger.
Before giving away the pencil, the researchers asked the kids to guess how “big” their act of kindness would be to the people who receive the gift. Would the person be happy? Or would the gift feel like no big deal?
Many kids had trouble guessing, says Yanyi Leng, a research assistant who helped with the experiment. Leng told TIME for Kids that some of the children said, “I’d like to give my pencil... but I’m not sure how they’re going to feel.”
In fact, people who received the pencils were much happier than the givers had predicted. Additionally, the kids felt satisfied after giving the pencils to others. “It proves (证明) the power of these small, random acts of kindness,” Echelbarger says. “Like, ‘You could have chosen anyone, but you chose me.’”
Echelbarger and Epley’s study proves that doing good feels good. This is true for the kid on the receiving end of a good deed as well as for the kid who performs it.
32. Why did Echelbarger and Epley do the experiment?
__________________________________
33. What could kids do with the pencils?
