B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个应用程序，分别是Cozi Organizer、Tasty和Bark，这些应用程序可以帮助忙碌的妈妈们生活得井井有条。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Luckily, with the following apps, you can organize your day, deal with those tasks efficiently, and even get a little “me” time.(幸运的是，有了下面的应用程序，你可以组织你的一天，有效地处理这些任务，甚至得到一点“自己”的时间)”可知，妈妈们选择这些应用程序的目的是过一种井井有条的生活。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cozi Organizer中“To-do lists can be assigned and shared with your kids so you can track their chores (家务) as they complete them; all shopping lists can be accessed and updated by any family member.(待办事项清单可以分配给你的孩子，并与他们分享，这样你就可以在他们完成家务时追踪他们；所有的购物清单都可以被任何家庭成员访问和更新)”以及Tasty中“Short, easy-to-follow videos help simplify the cooking process, making it appealing for kids to join in.(简单易懂的视频有助于简化烹饪过程，吸引孩子们加入)”可知， Cozi Organizer和Tasty的共同之处是让孩子参与进来。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Bark中“Bark manages your children’s mobile screen time and tracks their location in real time. The app covers unlimited devices and charges only one family member monthly. It monitors your kids’ texts. Are you wondering if your kid arrived safely at his friend’s house? Bark uses live GPS and location alerts to monitor their whereabouts.(Bark可以管理孩子的手机屏幕时间，并实时跟踪他们的位置。这款应用覆盖无限设备，每月只向一位家庭成员收费。它监视你孩子的短信。你是否想知道你的孩子是否安全到达了他的朋友家？Bark使用实时GPS和位置警报来监控他们的位置)”可知，Bark关注的是孩子的安全。故选B项。 B A primary school in north Devon with a brand-new mud play area hit the headlines last week. “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?” 4. 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. 5. What prevents children’s outdoor play? A. Overly concern. B. School regulation. C. Behavior code. D. Generation gap. 6. 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. 7. What’s the passage mainly about? A. How parents become so positive. B. Why children experience so less. C. How connection with nature could be built. D. Why kids should be allowed to play in mud. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为什么应该允许孩子们在泥巴中玩耍，以及泥巴游戏对孩子们的益处。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“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.(作为学校，我们一直害怕让孩子去冒险。孩子们不知道什么是风险以及如何管理风险。”为了改变这种情况，学校设计了不同的攀岩区和泥泞区)”可知，学校要建一个泥地游戏区是为了教孩子们了解风险。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“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.(埃克塞特大学儿童心理学教授海伦·多德（Helen Dodd）说：“孩子们弄脏衣服的减少部分是我们规避风险的结果。”我们想保护孩子们的安全，所以我们阻止孩子们做孩子们自然会做的事情)”可知，家长们的过分担心阻碍了孩子们在户外玩耍。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“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.(还有一项研究是关于接触泥浆的好处的，就泥浆中的生物成分而言，以及它如何影响我们的免疫系统。在感官方面也是如此。现在很多孩子都有感觉障碍)”可知，泥浆游戏可以增强免疫系统。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“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?”(福莱特说，孩子们从来没有见过这么多，经历过这么少。“他们所有的经历都是次要的，通过卧室里的屏幕。他们缺少的是真正的原始经验、触摸、感觉和实践。你知道那种捏一把泥，然后它从指缝里漏出来的感觉吗？”)”可知，这篇文章主要讲了为什么应该允许孩子在泥里玩。故选D项。 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 (难受的) 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 (使贬值) 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. 8. 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. 9. What does the underlined word “trivial” probably mean? A. Unimportant. B. Uncertain. C. Dishonorable. D. Impossible. 10. How might Thoreau feel when he referred to Brain rot? A. Doubtful. B. Indifferent. C. Concerned. D. Optimistic. 11. According to the passage, who may have brain rot? A. People browsing videos aimlessly. B. Professors criticizing society’s tendency. C. Netizens sharing pictures online. D. Office workers writing reports offline. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。牛津大学出版社将“脑腐”选为2024年年度词汇。文章介绍了脑腐产生的原因和治疗方式等。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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?(网上发布的一张人工智能生成的照片显示，现代版的唐纳德·特朗普紧紧拥抱已故的猫王。一看到这些滑稽而愚蠢的图片，人们似乎就被拉进了一个奇怪的圈子。他们忍不住反复观看类似的图片，并享受这个过程，就像上瘾了一样。你可以说这是无害的。但它给世界带来了什么？)”以及第二段“The heavy sigh and slightly hungover (难受的) feeling this type of contents brings about might best be described as brain rot, an Oxford’s 2024 Word of the Year.(这种内容所带来的沉重的叹息和轻微的宿醉感可能最适合形容为“脑腐”，这是牛津大学2024年的年度词汇)”可知，作者提到网上发布的图片是为了引入一种观念。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“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(脑腐指的是某人的精神或智力状态恶化，尤其是由于过度消费低质量、低价值的网络内容，这些内容被认为是……)”以及后文“It comes from all those meaningless images and videos that don’t stir the soul.(它来自于那些毫无意义的图片和视频，它们不会触动灵魂)”可知，“脑腐”来自于那些毫无意义的图片和视频，它们不会触动灵魂，说明不重要。故划线词意思是“不重要的”。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Thoreau criticizes society’s tendency to devalue (使贬值) 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?”(梭罗批评社会贬低思想价值的倾向。他认为，这是一种普遍的心理和智力努力下降的迹象。“在英国试图治愈马铃薯腐烂病的同时，难道就不会努力治疗更为广泛和致命的脑腐烂病吗？”)”可知，当梭罗提到脑腐时，他感到担心。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“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.(脑腐指的是某人的精神或智力状态恶化，尤其是由于过度消费低质量、低价值的网络内容，这些内容被认为是微不足道的。它来自于那些毫无意义的图片和视频，它们不会触动灵魂)”可知，人们漫无目的地浏览视频可能会“脑腐”。故选A。 D 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 (子类型) 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 Tromsø, I struggled at times with its darkness, particularly in December. But when I could take a cue (暗示) 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. 12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. SAD’s origin. B. SAD’s duration. C. SAD’s symptoms. D. SAD’s effects. 13. What cause people to adjust their behavior in winter? A. Environmental changes. B. Historical reasons. C. Food supplies. D. Living rhythms. 14. 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. 15. 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 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者作为研究冬季的心理学家，常听到人们自称患有季节性情感障碍（SAD）。SAD于20世纪80年代初由诺曼・罗森塔尔首次描述，被定义为临床抑郁症的一种子类型，随日照时长变化而出现和缓解。文章建议今年冬季，人们应向善于过冬的人学习，接受冬季的缓慢乐趣，适应季节变化，将疲倦视为休息信号，少社交时进行个人追求，这样有助于保持健康。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“SAD was first described in the early 1980s by psychiatrist Norman Rosenthal. Today, it’s defined as a subtype (子类型) 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.(精神病学家诺曼·罗森塔尔在20世纪80年代初首次描述了SAD。今天，它被定义为临床抑郁症的一种亚型，通常出现在白天变短的时候，然后在每年春天气温变暖、太阳回来的时候恢复。大多数与冬天作斗争的人，可能对冬天寒冷、黑暗的日子有一个非常正常的反应：感觉精力不足，社交能力不足，缺乏动力)”可知，第二段主要讲的是SAD的症状。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“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.(几乎每一种生物在冬天都会改变它们的行为。我们自然会受到环境变化的影响，受到明暗变化的影响。从历史上看，人们不得不在冬天调整自己的行为.在那个食物供应不那么充足的季节里，人们需要做好充分的准备。由于没有电，作息时间由太阳决定，而在一年中最黑暗的日子里，人们也会花费更多的时间来休息。)”可知，是环境的变化，如光线和黑暗的转变、食物供应的变化以及生活节奏的改变，导致人们在冬季调整自己的行为。但其中最主要的原因是环境变化，即光暗的转变等环境变化促使人们在冬天调整自己的行为。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“But when I could take a cue (暗示) 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.(但是，当我能够从周围的挪威人那里得到启发，开始冒险出去——在冬天散步，去市中心看圣诞灯，和朋友们喝咖啡，看电影——我发现自己在享受冬天的新鲜空气，极地夜晚难以置信的蓝色，以及城市舒适的氛围。我从周围的人那里学会了如何面对冬天，而不是试图与它抗争)”可推知，研究人员从挪威人那里得到的启发是如果你感觉到了冬天的影响，试着去适应它。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“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.(这个冬天，从那些善于过冬的人那里得到启示，拥抱这个季节缓慢的快乐。适应季节能让我们感觉更健康。把疲劳看作是多睡或以其他方式休息的动力。如果你想减少社交活动，那就给个人活动留出空间：阅读、烘焙或享受美味的食物)”可知，文章主要讲的是作者作为研究冬季的心理学家，常听到人们自称患有季节性情感障碍（SAD）。SAD于20世纪80 年代初由诺曼・罗森塔尔首次描述，被定义为临床抑郁症的一种子类型，随日照时长变化而出现和缓解。文章建议今年冬季，人们应向善于过冬的人学习，接受冬季的缓慢乐趣，适应季节变化，将疲倦视为休息信号，少社交时进行个人追求，这样有助于保持健康。由此可知，Embrace of winter(拥抱冬天)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A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。 Sharing your family’s history with your children is a powerful way to shape their identity, build connections and boost self-esteem (自尊). ____16____ Family interviews, in particular, help children hear stories firsthand, making the past feel real. ____17____ Through such stories, children connect to their ancestors(祖先) , learning not just the traditions but also why they matter.

Recently, they had been preparing together for an English short play A Tale of Friendship organized by their drama teacher Ms. Thompson. 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Knowing about the quarrel, Ms. Thompson pulled them together. She first encouraged the girls to express their thoughts openly. Lily insisted her performance style, pointing that the stage demands big expressions, while Amy argued that being real makes it more touching. Ms. Thompson then said, “Girls, a great performance is like a symphony. Both of you are like different music instruments having your own characteristics. Alone, it’s good; but together, you create harmony.” Lily and Amy looked at each other and understood. Lily approached Amy. “I was wrong to judge you,” she admitted, her voice soft but sincere. “Your calmness is part of what makes the story beautiful.” Amy smiled, her eyes bright. “And your passion inspires me to give my best. Let’s work together, like we used to.” From that day on, they practiced with a newfound understanding, blending their strengths to create a performance that moved everyone who watched it. On New Year’s Eve, their play was a resounding success, not just because of their talent, but because they reminded everyone of the true meaning of friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了莉莉和艾米是好友，同在学校英语戏剧俱乐部，一起准备新年夜上演的英语短剧《友谊的故事》，该剧旨在展现同龄人之间的真挚友谊。莉莉饰演主角，热情投入，力求情感真实；艾米则较为安静内敛，莉莉认为艾米不够投入，两人因此产生分歧并激烈争吵，排练被迫中断。戏剧老师汤普森知晓后，让她们坦诚交流想法。莉莉坚持舞台表演需夸张表达，艾米则认为真实更能打动观众。汤普森以交响乐作比，指出两人如同不同乐器，各具特色，合在一起才能和谐。莉莉和艾米相互理解，莉莉承认错误，艾米也认可莉莉的热情，此后她们带着新的理解，融合彼此优势排练。新年夜，短剧大获成功，她们不仅展现了才华，更诠释了友谊的真谛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“知道了争吵后，汤普森把她们拉到了一起。”可知，第一段可描写汤普森老师对女孩们说的话以及莉莉认识的自己的错误。 ②由第二段首句内容“莉莉和艾米面面相觑，彼此理解。”可知，第二段可描写莉莉向艾米道歉以及两人最终成功完成了表演。 2.续写线索：汤普森老师把两个女孩拉到了一起——汤普森对两人说的话——莉莉认识的自己的错误——向艾米道歉——继续一起努力练习——成功完成表演 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①需要：demand/ require/need ②.激励：inspire/ motivate ③.混合：blend/mix 情绪类 ①.感人的：touching/moving ②.真诚的：sincere/genuine 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

B A primary school in north Devon with a brand-new mud play area hit the headlines last week. “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?” 4. 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. 5. What prevents children’s outdoor play? A. Overly concern. B. School regulation. C. Behavior code. D. Generation gap. 6. 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. 7. What’s the passage mainly about? A. How parents become so positive. B. Why children experience so less. C. How connection with nature could be built. D. Why kids should be allowed to play in mud. 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 (难受的) 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 (使贬值) 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. 8. 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. 9.

D 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 (子类型) 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 Tromsø, I struggled at times with its darkness, particularly in December. But when I could take a cue (暗示) 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. 12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. SAD’s origin. B. SAD’s duration. C. SAD’s symptoms. D. SAD’s effects. 13. What cause people to adjust their behavior in winter? A. Environmental changes. B. Historical reasons. C. Food supplies. D. Living rhythms. 14. 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. 15. Which may be the best title of the passage? A. Embrace of winter B. Cue from darkness C. Rhythm of season D.

They were both members of the English Drama Club of their school. Recently, they had been preparing together for an English short play A Tale of Friendship organized by their drama teacher Ms. Thompson. 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
