"We felt that our children needed something better at playtime,"said the head teacher,Amy Frost,,“The playground before was pristine(整洁的)but there was nothing for them to do.As schools,we have been fearful of allowing our children to take risks.Children don't learn what risk is and how to manage risk."To change this,the school designed different zones for climbing and muddy play. Frost said there had been a few comments from people who found it"difficult to adjust", but parents were greatly supportive."My son is caked in mud but he's having fun!"one parent commented.Another said,“We'd rather do extra laundry and see them thrive(茁壮成长)." Children today have less access to unstructured outdoor play than past generations did. Helen Dodd,a professor of child psychology at the University of Exeter,said,"The decline in children getting muddy is part of our risk aversion(风险规避).We want to keep children safe, so we stop children from doing the things that children naturally do.If we want to give children space to connect with nature,they need to do that in an unrestricted way,and a consequence is that they might get muddy." There's also research about the benefits of being in contact with mud,just in terms of the biology of what's in the mud,and how it affects our immune system.Also,in terms of sensory things.Lots of children now have sensory difficulties.They don't like the feel of different things, which might come from being kept overly clean. Children had never before seen so much and experienced so little,said Follett."All of their experiences are secondary,through screens shut in bedrooms.What they're lacking is real primary experience,touching,feeling,practicing.You know that feeling of squeezing a handful of mud,and it leaking out through your fingers?" 24.Why was a mud play area built in the primary school? A.To hit the headlines of the newspaper. B.To satisfy the parents'needs. C.To teach children to learn about risks. D.To upgrade school facilities. 25.What prevents children's outdoor play? A.Overly concern. B.School regulation. C.Behavior code. D.Generation gap. 26.What do we know about mud play? A.It may enhance immune system. B.It leads to sensory difficulties C.It has become more popular. D.It can cause severe consequences. 27.What's the passage mainly about? A.How parents become so positive. C.Why children experience so less. B.How connection with nature could be built. D.Why kids should be allowed to play in mud. 高二英语第4页共10页 C An AI-generated image posted online shows a modern-day Donald Trump hugging late Elvis Presley tightly.Upon seeing those funny but mindless pictures,people seem to be drawn into a strange circle.They can't help but repeatedly view similar pictures and enjoy the process, as if addicted.You could say that this is harmless.But what is it adding to the world? The heavy sigh and slightly hungover(feeling this type of contents brings about might best be described as brain rot,an Oxford's 2024 Word of the Year. Brain rot is when someone's mental or intellectual state gets worse,especially as a result of overconsuming low-quality,low-value online content,which is considered trivial.It comes from all those meaningless images and videos that don't stir the soul.Initially gaining attraction on social media platform,brain rot is now seeing more widespread use.The term increased in usage frequency by 230%between 2023 and 2024. Although it seems very modern,brain rot,as a phrase,dates back to Henry David Thoreau. As Oxford University Press notes on its website,the first recorded use of brain rot is found in Thoreau's 1854 book Walden.Thoreau criticizes society's tendency to devalue (ideas. He believes this is a sign of a wider decline in mental and intellectual effort."While England tries to cure the potato rot,will no effort be made to cure the brain rot,which is much more widespread and deadly?" For better or worse(almost certainly worse),the distinction between our online and offline lives has been disappearing for years,and the line is now all but gone.The best thing we can do is see it all as life itself,and know that whatever feeling we are dealing with is a version of what Thoreau dealt with 170 years ago.Only slightly more stupid. 28.Why does the author mention the image posted online? A.To deepen thinking. B.To lead in a concept. C.To present advanced technology. D.To introduce famous persons. 29.What does the underlined word"trivial"probably mean? A.Unimportant. B.Uncertain C.Dishonorable. D.Impossible. 30.How might Thoreau feel when he referred to Brain rot? A.Doubtful. B.Indifferent. C.Concerned. D.Optimistic. 31.According to the passage,who may have brain ror? A.People browsing videos aimlessly. B.Professors criticizing society's tendency. C.Netizens sharing pictures online D.Office workers writing reports offline. 高二英语第5页共10页 0 As a psychologist who researches winter,I hear a common complaint-at parties,in interviews,at the coffee shop:"Oh,yeah,I definitely have seasonal affective disorder,or SAD." SAD was first described in the early 1980s by psychiatrist Norman Rosenthal.Today,it's defined as a subtype (of clinical depression,one that usually appears as the days get shorter and then recovers each spring when the temperature warms and the sun returns.Most people,who struggle with winter,probably have a very normal response to winter's cold,dark days:feeling less energetic,less social and less motivated. Almost every living thing changes its behavior in winter.It is natural that we would be affected by changes in our environment,by shifts in light and dark.Historically,people had to adjust their behavior in winter.Preparation was required to make it through a season when food wasn't as readily available.Without electricity,rhythms were decided by the sun,and more time was spent sleeping during the darkest days of the year. Living in Tromse,I struggled at times with its darkness,particularly in December.But when I could take a cue (from the Norwegians around me and adventure out-taking a wintry walk,heading downtown to see the Christmas lights,meeting friends for coffee and a movie-I found myself enjoying the fresh winter air,the unbelievable blueness of the polar night and the comforting atmosphere of the city.I learned from those around me how to lean in to the winter,rather than trying to fight it. This winter,take a cue from the people who winter well by embracing the slow delights of the season.Adapting to the season can help us feel healthier.See tiredness as a motivation to sleep more or find rest in other ways.If you feel like socializing less,allow that to make space for solo pursuits(个人追求)：reading,baking or enjoying delicious food. 32.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.SAD's origin. B.SAD's duration.C.SAD's symptoms. D.SAD's effects. 33.What caused people to adjust their behavior in winter? A.Environmental changes. B.Historical reasons. C.Food supplies. D.Living rhythms. 34.What inspiration does the researcher get from Norwegians? A.If you suffer from winter,try to fight it. B.Never change your relationship with winter. C.Everything will be OK when you leave it alone. D.If you feel winter's effects,try to work with them. 35.Which may be the best title of the passage? A.Embrace of winter B.Cue from darkness C.Rhythm of season D.Refreshment from depression 高二英语第6页共10页 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。 Sharing your family's history with your children is a powerful way to shape their identity, build connections and boost self-esteem ()36 Family interviews,in particular,help children hear stories firsthand,making the past feel real.37 Through such stories,children connect to their ancestors )learning not just the traditions but also why they matter.This deepens their appreciation and helps preserve family culture.

The play,aiming to reflect the true friendship among peers,would be put on at New Year's eve.Lily,cast as the main character,was eager to bring her character's journey to life,hoping to inspire her classmates through her performance.While practicing,Lily,an enthusiastic and passionate performer,,poured her heart and soul into every scene,meticulously(一丝不苟地) studying her lines and striving for emotional realness.However,Amy tended to be quiet and reserved in her role play.She got pretty calm on stage,which,in Lily's eyes,meant she was not committed enough to the performance.The differences between them resulted in several heated moments,where both of the girls found themselves at odds(意见不合)，unable to see eye to eye. Finally,Lily did not want to hold back any more."You're just too calm for this scene,Amy," she said,frustration evident in her voice."The audience needs to feel the passion!" Amy sighed,her eyes softening with a hint of sadness."But Lily,the story isn't just about the loud moments.Personally,the role in the drama is a quiet one.The unspoken words move the audience deeply." Lily was frozen with anger.She turned around and left the stage without a word.Amy stood there as still as a statue,her eyebrows knitted tightly together in a deep frown. The practice had to be stopped. 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。 Knowing about the quarrel,Ms.Thompson pulled them together. Lily and Amy looked at each other and understood. 高二英语 第10页共10页
