Last term, I was paired with someone I hardly knew. Ryan and I had been classmates for years but had never spoken beyond a simple “hi”. We had different circles of friends. However, our teacher asked us to work on a history project together, which required research and a creative presentation. At first, I was unsure about how well we’d work together. Ryan was known for his sense of humor, while I was more serious and focused. When we met to discuss our ideas, I expected we’d have completely different ways. As we began working on our project, I realized how talented and creative Ryan was. He could come up with funny moments that made the history come alive. He suggested that instead of a simple slideshow (幻灯片演示), we create a short play to present the historical event, with special clothes and settings to make it interesting. While he handled the creative side, I focused on the research, making sure we had all the right information. We quickly found a balance: I’d prepare the material, and Ryan would turn it into something interesting. Over time, our study meetings became something more. We began talking about things beyond the project—our favorite books, weekend plans, and even our dreams for the future. The day of our presentation arrived, and we were both nervous but excited. The performance went smoothly, and our classmates cheered. The project got high marks, but more importantly, it built a friendship that I had never expected. After working together, I saw Ryan in a completely new light, and he became one of my closest friends. We often talked about ideas for creative projects together. Looking back, I realize that being paired with Ryan was one of the best things that could have happened. Through this experience, I discovered a friendship I would have missed if I had stayed in my comfort zone. It reminds me that sometimes, unexpected friendships are waiting just outside our usual circles. 24. What challenge did the writer face when paired with Ryan at first? A. Doubting how well they could cooperate. B. Ryan showed little interest in the project. C. Not knowing if their teacher would help. D. They were not prepared for the project. 25. What idea did Ryan bring to the project? A. To make a simple slideshow. B. To act out historical events. C. To do creative research. D. To write a funny story. 26. What helped the writer and Ryan build a friendship? A. Staying within the same circle of friends. B. Spending time together on weekends. C. Their teamwork and shared efforts. D. Their achievements in storytelling. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和瑞恩成为好朋友的过程。这段经历让作者明白了要敢于走出舒适区去结交朋友。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At first, I was unsure about how well we’d work together.”可知， 一开始作者不确定他们能不能很好地合作。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He suggested that instead of a simple slideshow, we create a short play to present the historical event, with special clothes and settings to make it interesting.”可知，瑞恩建议表演历史短剧，故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。结合全文，作者一开始和瑞恩不熟，但是小组项目使两人有了合作，并且在两人完美的配合和努力下，他们的小组项目取得了高分，两人也因此成了好朋友。所以是团队合作和共同努力使作者和瑞恩建立了友谊。故选C。 C Every morning, the first thing John does is picking up his phone to check the number of likes and comments he received on social media (媒体) overnight. He feels more cheerful as he sees many people are involved. When there are hardly any replies, he feels disappointed for the whole day. John’s experience is common in today’s world, showing just how deeply technology can influence our emotions and mental (精神上的) state. In 2023, researchers did an in-depth study to examine the mental influence of social media use. They created an online survey that included questions not only about how often and how long they use social media but also about their emotional reactions during and after using these platforms (平台). Users needed to describe changes of their feelings like worry, loneliness, or happiness caused by certain social media interactions. The survey collected data from millions of users all over the world, allowing research teams to analyze ways of emotional well-being related to digital habits. They found that users who focused on likes and comments often experienced changes of feelings. Teenagers and young adults were especially weak, likely as the result of their dependence on online interactions for social connections. These findings suggest that while technology offers convenience, it also has various effects on mental health. The research showed that technology itself might not be the direct cause of mental health problems like worry; rather, it’s how people use it that makes the difference. For example, people who limit their screen time are likely to experience stronger mental well-being. This stresses the importance of mindful technology use. Other studies further show that negative effects from technology use can be avoided. In a French village, researchers did a separate experiment, encouraging users to limit their phone use and get involved in face-to-face conversations. After several weeks, users reported better mental health, with reduced levels of worry and loneliness. Such studies stress the importance of the harmony (和谐) between digital interactions and real-life relationships. In the end, while technology is a powerful tool, its effect on mental well-being largely depends on how we choose to fit it into our lives. Experts recommend having “tech-free” hours, especially during family meetings or before bed. With a thoughtful way, we can enjoy the advantages of technology without harming emotional health. 27. Why did the researchers do the study in 2023? A. To improve social media platforms. B. To encourage people to be positive users. C. To count the number of social media users worldwide. D. To understand the mental health effects of social media. 28. According to the passage, who is more likely to have problems with mental health? A. Social media runners. B. Teenagers and young adults. C. People who limit internet use. D. People who avoid family meetings. 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Unexpected Challenges: Changes of Social Connections B. Silent Influence: Social Media’s Effect on Emotions C. Silent Influence: Technology’s Effect on Our Minds D. Unexpected Challenges: Changes of Digital Habits 【答案】27. D 28. B 29. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了社会媒体和科技对情绪和心理状态的影响，特别是如何使用这些技术对心理健康的影响。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In 2023, researchers did an in-depth study to examine the mental influence of social media use.”可知，该项研究的目的在于了解社交媒体对心理健康的影响。故选D。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Teenagers and young adults were especially weak, likely as the result of their dependence on online interactions for social connections.”可知，由于依赖在线互动来建立社交联系，青少年和年轻人更有可能有心理健康问题。故选B。 【29题详解】 最佳标题题题。通读全文可知，本文探讨了科技对心理健康的影响，研究表明，科技本身并非心理问题的直接原因，而是人们使用科技的方式决定了其影响。过度使用科技会导致心理健康问题，而限制使用科技则有利于心理健康。故选C。 D Almost every student has felt the pressure from a full schedule (日程表) and the need for meaningful moments. Emily is a hard-working student with a full schedule, and yet she often feels like something is missing. Similarly, Chris spends his evenings going to different sports clubs, but finds himself wondering if he’s truly enjoying his experience. These stories mirror a common paradox (悖论) among students today: although they are busier than ever, many feel unfulfilled. This paradox can lead to various problems such as stress, worry, and even burnout. Studies show that having a continually full schedule can actually harm happiness. When students are focused only on completing tasks and meeting expectations, they may lose sight of the activities that truly bring them joy. This pressure can finally lead to tiredness and a loss of motivation. One reason for this paradox is that students often feel pressure to stay busy to be “successful”. Parents, teachers, and even friends may highlight the importance of achievements at school and college preparation. As a result, students can feel like they need to fill every hour with productive activities to meet these expectations. However, this non-stop busyness can sometimes lead them away from what truly matters to them, such as hobbies or time with friends, which actually help to build a happy life. To address this problem, students need to learn to balance their responsibilities with activities that bring enjoyment. Experts suggest that students discover the activities that match their own interests and values, rather than simply what looks good on a college application (申请). By managing their schedules to include both productive and relaxing activities, students can develop a healthier relationship with their time. The key to solving this paradox lies in creating a school culture that values happiness as well as achievement. By encouraging students to pursue their passions and enjoy moments outside of schoolwork, parents, teachers, and peers can help reduce the pressure to continually be busy. Open conversations about managing stress and organizing meaningful activities can support students in developing a balanced, fulfilling school experience. While balancing busy schedules and happiness is challenging, understanding this paradox can help students make mindful choices about how they spend their time. With deep thinking, planning, and support from their community, students can make room for both learning success and personal fulfillment, leading to a healthier, more rewarding school journey. 30. Why does the writer use the examples of Emily and Chris in Paragraph 1? A. To start a debate. B. To lead in a topic. C. To make a conclusion. D. To draw a comparison. 31. What do the words “pursue their passions” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Follow what they love. B. Solve their problems. C. Fight for what they want. D. Study for a good future. 32. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. a busy schedule is necessary for having success B. addressing the paradox helps with college applications C. enjoying meaningful moments supports students’ happiness D. social activities are more important than learning achievement 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage schools to design full schedules for students. B. To highlight the need for students to be continually productive. C. To show how after-school classes benefit students’ college applications. D. To stress the importance of balancing busyness with personal fulfillment. 【答案】30. B 31. A 32. C 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述当今学生中一个常见的悖论——尽管他们比以往任何时候都更忙，但许多人感到没有成就感，以及这一悖论的后果和解决方法。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“These stories mirror a common paradox (悖论) among students today: although they are busier than ever, many feel unfulfilled.”可知，作者用这两个例子来引出话题。故选B。 31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“By encouraging students to pursue their passions and enjoy moments outside of schoolwork, parents, teachers, and peers can help reduce the pressure to continually be busy.”可知，通过鼓励学生追求自己的爱好，享受课外时光，家长、老师和同龄人可以帮助减少持续忙碌的压力，所以划线部分的含义是“追求自己的爱好”。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Studies show that having a continually full schedule can actually harm happiness.”、第三段中的“However, this non-stop busyness can sometimes lead them away from what truly matters to them, such as hobbies or time with friends, which actually help to build a happy life.”以及倒数第二段中的“By encouraging students to pursue their passions and enjoy moments outside of schoolwork, parents, teachers, and peers can help reduce the pressure to continually be busy.”可知，作者可能同意享受有意义的时刻有助于学生的幸福。故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“These stories mirror a common paradox (悖论) among students today: although they are busier than ever, many feel unfulfilled.”以及最后一段并通读全文可知，本文主要讲述当今学生中一个常见的悖论——尽管他们比以往任何时候都更忙，但许多人感到没有成就感，以及这一悖论的后果以及解决方法，所以作者写这篇文章的主要目的是强调在忙碌与个人成就之间取得平衡的重要性。故选D。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第1-3题每题2分，第4题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 a drone Liam Carter, a 14-year-old nature lover, was hiking in the mountains when he saw the terrible effects of a recent wildfire. Burned trees and barren (贫瘠的) land could go as far as the eye could see. Liam felt heartbroken but also decided to do something about it. He began researching and discovered that wildfires destroy millions of acres of forests each year, leaving animals homeless and the natural environment destroyed. To make a difference, Liam decided to work out a solution. After months of hard work, he developed a machine to help stop wildfires: a robotic drone fitted with thermal sensors (温度探测仪). The drone can fly over forests, discover unusual heat patterns, and send signals to fire departments before small fires grow out of control. The most creative character of Liam’s drone is its AI system. “I wanted to build something that could react faster than humans and make forests safer,” Liam explains. Using a set of mathematical instructions or rules which helps to work out an answer to a problem, the drone can tell the difference between normal heat sources, like the sun or campfires, and dangerous wildfire hotspots. Liam’s science teacher, Mr. Dawson, is amazed by his ability to continue trying to do so. “It’s not often to see someone so young take on such a big challenge,” he says. “Liam’s creativity and persistence (坚持) are truly encouraging.” Liam’s journey wasn’t easy. He had problems with programming the AI and experienced several technical failures. But he kept improving his design, learning from his mistakes, and asking for advice from local engineers and firefighters. In the future, Liam hopes to develop his project by creating a network of drones that can check larger areas and even plant new trees in destroyed forests. "Nature is so important to all of us,” Liam says. “I want to use technology to give back to it.” Liam is grateful that his family encouraged his interest in nature and technology. “They’ve always supported my crazy ideas,” he says with a smile. “I don’t know exactly what job I’ll choose,” Liam adds, “but I know it will involve protecting the environment and making the world a better place.” 34. How did Liam feel when he saw the terrible effects of a recent wildfire? _____________________________________ 35. What machine did Liam develop to help stop wildfires? _____________________________________ 36. Why does Liam want to use the AI system to protect nature? _____________________________________ 37. What do you think of Liam? Why? (Please give at least two reasons.) _____________________________________ 【答案】34. He felt heartbroken. 35. A robotic drone fitted with thermal sensors. 36. He wanted to build something that could react faster than humans and make forests safer. 37. I think Liam is creative and persistent. Firstly, he shows his creativity by developing a drone with an AI system to stop wildfires. Secondly, he demonstrated persistence by continually improving his design and asking for advice to overcome challenges. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一位名叫Liam Carter在经历野火对自然的破坏后，决心通过开发一台装有温度探测仪和AI系统的机器人无人机来检测和预防野火的故事。 【34题详解】 根据“Liam felt heartbroken but also decided to do something about it.”可知，Liam看到野火的可怕后果时，感到心碎，但也下定决心去做点什么。故填He felt heartbroken. 【35题详解】 根据“After months of hard work, he developed a machine to help stop wildfires: a robotic drone fitted with thermal sensors (温度探测仪).”可知，Liam开发了一种安装有温度传感器的无人机来帮助阻止野火蔓延。故填A robotic drone fitted with thermal sensors. 【36题详解】 根据“‘I wanted to build something that could react faster than humans and make forests safer,’ Liam explains.”可知，因为他想建造一种比人类反应更快的东西，让森林更安全。故填Because he wanted to build something that could react faster than humans and make forests safer. 【37题详解】 开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为I think Liam is creative and persistent.

Last term, I was paired with someone I hardly knew. Ryan and I had been classmates for years but had never spoken beyond a simple “hi”. We had different circles of friends. However, our teacher asked us to work on a history project together, which required research and a creative presentation. At first, I was unsure about how well we’d work together. Ryan was known for his sense of humor, while I was more serious and focused. When we met to discuss our ideas, I expected we’d have completely different ways. As we began working on our project, I realized how talented and creative Ryan was. He could come up with funny moments that made the history come alive. He suggested that instead of a simple slideshow (幻灯片演示), we create a short play to present the historical event, with special clothes and settings to make it interesting. While he handled the creative side, I focused on the research, making sure we had all the right information. We quickly found a balance: I’d prepare the material, and Ryan would turn it into something interesting. Over time, our study meetings became something more. We began talking about things beyond the project—our favorite books, weekend plans, and even our dreams for the future. The day of our presentation arrived, and we were both nervous but excited. The performance went smoothly, and our classmates cheered. The project got high marks, but more importantly, it built a friendship that I had never expected. After working together, I saw Ryan in a completely new light, and he became one of my closest friends. We often talked about ideas for creative projects together. Looking back I realize that being paired with Ryan was one of the best things that could have happened. Through this experience, I discovered a friendship I would have missed if I had stayed in my comfort zone. It reminds me that sometimes, unexpected friendships are waiting just outside our usual circles. 24. What challenge did the writer face when paired with Ryan at first? A. Doubting how well they could cooperate. B. Ryan showed little interest in the project. C. Not knowing if their teacher would help. D. They were not prepared for the project. 25. What idea did Ryan bring to the project? A. To make a simple slideshow. B. To act out historical events. C. To do creative research. D. To write a funny story. 26. What helped the writer and Ryan build a friendship? A. Staying within the same circle of friends. B. Spending time together on weekends. C. Their teamwork and shared efforts. D. Their achievements in storytelling. C Every morning, the first thing John does is picking up his phone to check the number of likes and comments he received on social media (媒体) overnight. He feels more cheerful as he sees many people are involved. When there are hardly any replies, he feels disappointed for the whole day. John’s experience is common in today’s world, showing just how deeply technology can influence our emotions and mental (精神上的) state. In 2023, researchers did an in-depth study to examine the mental influence of social media use. They created an online survey that included questions not only about how often and how long they use social media but also about their emotional reactions during and after using these platforms (平台). Users needed to describe changes of their feelings like worry, loneliness, or happiness caused by certain social media interactions. The survey collected data from millions of users all over the world, allowing research teams to analyze ways of emotional well-being related to digital habits. They found that users who focused on likes and comments often experienced changes of feelings. Teenagers and young adults were especially weak, likely as the result of their dependence on online interactions for social connections. These findings suggest that while technology offers convenience, it also has various effects on mental health. The research showed that technology itself might not be the direct cause of mental health problems like worry; rather, it’s how people use it that makes the difference. For example, people who limit their screen time are likely to experience stronger mental well-being. This stresses the importance of mindful technology use. Other studies further show that negative effects from technology use can be avoided. In a French village, researchers did a separate experiment, encouraging users to limit their phone use and get involved in face-to-face conversations. After several weeks, users reported better mental health, with reduced levels of worry and loneliness. Such studies stress the importance of the harmony (和谐) between digital interactions and real-life relationships. In the end, while technology is a powerful tool, its effect on mental well-being largely depends on how we choose to fit it into our lives. Experts recommend having “tech-free” hours, especially during family meetings or before bed. With a thoughtful way, we can enjoy the advantages of technology without harming emotional health. 27. Why did the researchers do the study in 2023? A. To improve social media platforms. B. To encourage people to be positive users. C. To count the number of social media users worldwide. D. To understand the mental health effects of social media. 28. According to the passage, who is more likely to have problems with mental health? A. Social media runners. B. Teenagers and young adults. C. People who limit internet use. D. People who avoid family meetings. 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Unexpected Challenges: Changes of Social Connections B. Silent Influence: Social Media’s Effect on Emotions C. Silent Influence: Technology’s Effect on Our Minds D. Unexpected Challenges: Changes of Digital Habits D Almost every student has felt the pressure from a full schedule (日程表) and the need for meaningful moments. Emily is a hard-working student with a full schedule, and yet she often feels like something is missing. Similarly, Chris spends his evenings going to different sports clubs, but finds himself wondering if he’s truly enjoying his experience. These stories mirror a common paradox (悖论) among students today: although they are busier than ever, many feel unfulfilled. This paradox can lead to various problems such as stress, worry, and even burnout. Studies show that having a continually full schedule can actually harm happiness. When students are focused only on completing tasks and meeting expectations, they may lose sight of the activities that truly bring them joy. This pressure can finally lead to tiredness and a loss of motivation. One reason for this paradox is that students often feel pressure to stay busy to be “successful”. Parents teachers, and even friends may highlight the importance of achievements at school and college preparation. As a result, students can feel like they need to fill every hour with productive activities to meet these expectations. However, this non-stop busyness can sometimes lead them away from what truly matters to them, such as hobbies or time with friends, which actually help to build a happy life. To address this problem, students need to learn to balance their responsibilities with activities that bring enjoyment. Experts suggest that students discover the activities that match their own interests and values, rather than simply what looks good on a college application (申请). By managing their schedules to include both productive and relaxing activities, students can develop a healthier relationship with their time. The key to solving this paradox lies in creating a school culture that values happiness as well as achievement. By encouraging students to pursue their passions and enjoy moments outside of schoolwork, parents, teachers, and peers can help reduce the pressure to continually be busy. Open conversations about managing stress and organizing meaningful activities can support students in developing a balanced, fulfilling school experience. While balancing busy schedules and happiness is challenging, understanding this paradox can help students make mindful choices about how they spend their time. With deep thinking, planning, and support from their community, students can make room for both learning success and personal fulfillment, leading to a healthier, more rewarding school journey. 30 Why does the writer use the examples of Emily and Chris in Paragraph 1? A. To start a debate. B. To lead in a topic. C. To make a conclusion. D. To draw a comparison. 31. What do the words “pursue their passions” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Follow what they love. B. Solve their problems. C. Fight for what they want. D. Study for a good future. 32. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. a busy schedule is necessary for having success B. addressing the paradox helps with college applications C. enjoying meaningful moments supports students’ happiness D. social activities are more important than learning achievement 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To encourage schools to design full schedules for students. B. To highlight the need for students to be continually productive. C. To show how after-school classes benefit students’ college applications. D. To stress the importance of balancing busyness with personal fulfillment. 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第1-3题每题2分，第4题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 a drone Liam Carter, a 14-year-old nature lover, was hiking in the mountains when he saw the terrible effects of a recent wildfire. Burned trees and barren (贫瘠的) land could go as far as the eye could see. Liam felt heartbroken but also decided to do something about it. He began researching and discovered that wildfires destroy millions of acres of forests each year, leaving animals homeless and the natural environment destroyed. To make a difference, Liam decided to work out a solution. After months of hard work, he developed a machine to help stop wildfires: a robotic drone fitted with thermal sensors (温度探测仪). The drone can fly over forests, discover unusual heat patterns, and send signals to fire departments before small fires grow out of control. The most creative character of Liam’s drone is its AI system. “I wanted to build something that could react faster than humans and make forests safer,” Liam explains. Using a set of mathematical instructions or rules which helps to work out an answer to a problem, the drone can tell the difference between normal heat sources, like the sun or campfires, and dangerous wildfire hotspots. Liam’s science teacher, Mr. Dawson, is amazed by his ability to continue trying to do so. “It’s not often to see someone so young take on such a big challenge,” he says. “Liam’s creativity and persistence (坚持) are truly encouraging.” Liam’s journey wasn’t easy. He had problems with programming the AI and experienced several technical failures. But he kept improving his design learning from his mistakes, and asking for advice from local engineers and firefighters. In the future, Liam hopes to develop his project by creating a network of drones that can check larger areas and even plant new trees in destroyed forests. "Nature is so important to all of us,” Liam says. “I want to use technology to give back to it.” Liam is grateful that his family encouraged his interest in nature and technology. “They’ve always supported my crazy ideas,” he says with a smile. “I don’t know exactly what job I’ll choose,” Liam adds, “but I know it will involve protecting the environment and making the world a better place.” 34. How did Liam feel when he saw the terrible effects of a recent wildfire? _____________________________________ 35. What machine did Liam develop to help stop wildfires? _____________________________________ 36. Why does Liam want to use the AI system to protect nature? _____________________________________ 37.
