Michela Luciani, an assistant professor of nursing at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Italy, refers to “self-care” as trying to stay healthy and prevent diseases. However, the term has been used over time by companies and influencers to sell products that encourage people to focus on themselves, adding to greater loneliness in society. Examples of this trend are all over social media, where companies promote a series of self-care products, from skincare products to hair-growth solutions. Taking advantage of the growing interest in mental health, influencers have produced an increasing number of sponsored (有赞助的) videos on platforms like YouTube, showing their daily self-care habits. By 2022, a $5.6 trillion (about 40.47 trillion yuan) global wellness market had appeared “under the mask of helping consumers buy their way to peace”, said Allie Volpe, a senior reporter at Vox. Consumerism (消费主义) might offer short moments of happiness, but it fails to deal with the deeper problems behind a lack of well-being. Instead, it creates a pattern where consumers turn to self-care products, only to be trapped by unhealthy social comparisons and too much self-focus. This selfishness pulls them away from others, leading to loneliness rather than connection, according to psychologist Maytal Eyal. But why are people drawn to consumerist self-care? Eyal points to individualism (个人主义) as the key. She sees that in today’s society, asking for help is often seen as embarrassing, while independence is praised as the highest goal. When people are told they are totally responsible for their own happiness, they feel forced to deal with it alone. The drive for perfection also encourages the want to buy more self-care products. Social media especially encourages us to stay calm and positive, selling both impossible images and expensive “solutions”. While consumerist self-care focuses on the individual, true self-care means connecting with others. As Eyal puts it, if we can find a balance between caring for ourselves and caring for others, real self-care could be our lifeline. 1. How do companies and influencers misuse the term “self-care”? A. They promote self-care as a way to build social connections. B. They use it to sell products by stressing self-focus. C. They encourage people to share their self-care experiences. D. They define it as a form of mental health improvement. 2. Why are people attracted to consumerist self-care according to Maytal Eyal? A. Because they want to show off their wealth. B. Because they believe it can truly solve their problems. C. Because of individualism and the drive for perfection. D. Because they enjoy the short moments of happiness it brings. 3. What is the key to true self-care according to the passage? A. Buying as many self-care products as possible. B. Focusing only on one’s own well-being. C Finding a balance between self-care and caring for others. D. Avoiding any form of social comparison. 4. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Lonely People Trapped by Self-care B. The Rise of Self-Care Products in the Market C. The Influence of Consumerist Self-Care D. How Social Media Shapes Our Self-Care Choices B Using job search websites can save you time and energy, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your job hunt. For example, the U. S. News job search platform offers easy-to-use filters that help you narrow down job options by location, salary, and posting date. Below is a list of some of the best job search websites for your reference: CareerBuilder CareerBuilder offers job listings at various levels and has an app for reviewing jobs on the go. It includes features like “recommended skills” to help assess your qualifications and personalized career tests for better guidance. However, the site is filled with ads, which can be distracting, and some job listings may be outdated, leading to wasting time. Glassdoor Known for its anonymous company reviews, Glassdoor also lists job opportunities. It’s free to use and provide salary estimates for positions, offering valuable insights for job seekers. However, the site lacks advanced search filters, which can make finding the right job more challenging. Additionally, employee reviews can be biased, so it’s important to take them with caution. Indeed Indeed is a popular platform with a wide range of job listings, including remote work opportunities. It offers a mobile app for easy access, salary information, and company reviews. While it’s free to use, some job postings may be outdated, which can be frustrating. Also, the user interface could be more visually appealing and flexible to enhance the overall experience. Wellfound Wellfound is another job search platform that’s particularly useful for finding tech jobs. While it provides access to numerous listings and valuable company insights, its search functionality could be improved for better precision. Compared with the other sites, its database is relatively small and focused mainly on positions in startups. 5. On which website can you better understand your career preferences? A. CareerBuilder. B. Indeed. C. Glassdoor. D. Wellfound. 6. What do Glassdoor and Indeed have in common? A. They provide objective reviews. B. They offer the latest job postings. C. They do not charge any fee to use. D. They have appealing user interfaces. 7. What is special about Wellfound compared to other websites? A. It helps assess employees’ qualifications. B. It focuses on tech and startup jobs. C. It offers company reviews and salary data. D. It lists many jobs in remote areas. C Does adversity (逆境) warm hearts or harden them? Recently, my graduate student Daniel and I set out to explore the relationship between adversity and compassion (同情). We conducted a study online and reached more than 200 people from all walks of life. After asking them about the hardships they faced and how often they experienced compassion, we offered them the chance to donate some of the money they were about to be paid for taking part in the study to help people in need. The result showed that those who had faced serious adversities in life feel more compassion for suffering people. And as a result, they donated more money. Now, if experiencing any type of hardship can make a person more compassionate, you might assume that the compassion would be reached when someone has experienced the exact misfortune that another person is facing. Interestingly, this turns out to be dead wrong. In an article recently published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology the Kellogg School of Management professor Loran Nordgren and his team found that the human mind refuses to work as usual when it comes to remembering its own past hardships: it regularly makes them appear to be less painful than they actually were. Therefore, recalling a bad experience in your own past may make you underestimate (低估) the difficulty of others’ challenges. You overcame it, you think; so should he. The result? You lack compassion. Our findings, taken together with those of Professor Nordgren and his team, are that living through hardships doesn’t either warm hearts or harden them; it does both. Knowing suffering in life usually enhances the compassion we feel for others, except when the suffering involves specific painful events that we know all too well. 8. Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s study? A. Those attending it had to pay for it. B. Those attending it were asked questions only. C. It is meant to encourage people to help those in need. D. It tries to reveal the relationship between adversity and compassion. 9. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. People’s compassion for suffering people. B. People’s understanding of others’ misfortune. C. The findings of Loran Nordgren and his team. D. The assumption that shared misfortune may lead to compassion. 10. What did Professor Nordgren and his team find? A. Hardships make people lost in sad memories. B. Hardships lead to people’s lack of compassion. C. People tend to remember their hardships easily. D. People suffering from adversity are easy to break down. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Hidden Power of Compassion B. Surprising link of Adversity and Compassion C. Compassion: A Gift from Personal Adversity D. Adversity: A Pathway to Deeper Compassion D A new study has provided further explanation for the deaths of 350 African elephants in Botswana during 2023. It was the result of drinking from waterholes where deadly algae (藻) populations had exploded due to climate change. Elephant bodies were first found in the north-eastern part of the country between May and June 2023, but proof showed that illegal hunting was not the cause. With the help of satellite data, the researchers examined the relationship between about 3,000 waterholes and the locations of dead elephants. Their research suggested waterholes near the bodies showed increasing algal level in 2023 compared to earlier years — particularly during the period associated with the mass death event. The researchers also found that rotten (腐烂的) elephant bodies were more spread out across the landscape than the fresh, indicating that the die-off in 2023 was different from normal elephant death patterns. After drinking, elephants were thought to have walked an average of 16.5 km from the harmful waterholes and died within about 88 hours of contact. These findings suggest a high risk and possibility of algal harmful effect in these waterholes. The researchers think that the change from a very dry 2022 — the driest year in a period of 10 years in the area — to an extremely wet 2023, may have led to the appearance of significant amounts of nutrients from the ground, promoting the high algal growth. Southern Africa is thought to become drier and hotter under climate changes, so waterholes across this area will likely be drier for more months of the year. Our findings point to the potential negative effects on water quantity and quality, and the dangers to animals. Meanwhile, the findings also show the bad need to observe carefully overall water quality across all waterbodies, including the smallest ones. 12. What is the direct cause of the elephant deaths? A. Illegal hunting. B. Disease outbreak. C. Badly polluted water. D. Terrible climate change. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2-3? A. The satellite recorded each elephant’s behaviour. B. The increasing water level killed many elephants. C. Elephant bodies were mainly found beside waterholes. D. The rapid growth of algae contributed to the elephant deaths. 14. What does the author say about the weather in paragraph 4? A. It experienced great change. B. It has been dry for several years. C. It was under the influence of humans. D. It remained fixed with normal rainfall. 15. What do the findings suggest in the last paragraph? A. Water quality needs to be monitored. B. Satellite technology requires to be studied. C. The area will become more suitable for elephants. D. Waterholes will suffer serious drought throughout the year. 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Hashtags (标签) and keywords for Citywalk are currently trending across multiple Chinese social media platforms as more and more people look to share their experiences and thoughts online. ____16____ Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides.

Since then, my grandma raised me alone and tried her best to provide me with everything I needed. When I was 15, my grandma retired. In order to save enough money for my college education, she took on a part-time job and worked as a cleaning lady at a nearby park. However, I disliked my grandma’s part-time job, because I was afraid that my classmates would see her. One day, I was chosen to act the lead role in a school play that was scheduled for next month. Most of the students acting in the play invited their families to the performance, but I was too ashamed to invite my grandma. Unfortunately, my grandma saw the posters of the play on the walls of the school. One night when we were having dinner, my grandma mentioned that she would love to see me perform. “You won’t be permitted to see the performance, Grandma,” I lied. “No family member was invited.” My grandma was shocked and tried to know why I lied to her. “It’s because I don’t want my friends to find out you’re a cleaning lady!” I broke down finally. Little did I know that my grandma kept working just because of me. If she had the choice, she would rather stay at home and enjoy her retirement. However, she knew that she had to make extra money so that she could give me a comfortable life and send me to college. Although my grandma was sad about my behavior, she continued working. However, one Sunday morning, her back hurt so much that she could not get up and had to ask me to look for the painkillers (止痛药) that she had been taking in secret.

Recently, my graduate student Daniel and I set out to explore the relationship between adversity and compassion (同情). We conducted a study online and reached more than 200 people from all walks of life. After asking them about the hardships they faced and how often they experienced compassion, we offered them the chance to donate some of the money they were about to be paid for taking part in the study to help people in need. The result showed that those who had faced serious adversities in life feel more compassion for suffering people. And as a result, they donated more money. Now, if experiencing any type of hardship can make a person more compassionate, you might assume that the compassion would be reached when someone has experienced the exact misfortune that another person is facing. Interestingly, this turns out to be dead wrong. In an article recently published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the Kellogg School of Management professor Loran Nordgren and his team found that the human mind refuses to work as usual when it comes to remembering its own past hardships: it regularly makes them appear to be less painful than they actually were. Therefore, recalling a bad experience in your own past may make you underestimate (低估) the difficulty of others’ challenges. You overcame it, you think; so should he. The result? You lack compassion. Our findings, taken together with those of Professor Nordgren and his team, are that living through hardships doesn’t either warm hearts or harden them; it does both. Knowing suffering in life usually enhances the compassion we feel for others, except when the suffering involves specific painful events that we know all too well. 8. Which of the following is TRUE about the author’s study? A. Those attending it had to pay for it. B. Those attending it were asked questions only. C. It is meant to encourage people to help those in need. D. It tries to reveal the relationship between adversity and compassion. 9. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. People’s compassion for suffering people. B. People’s understanding of others’ misfortune. C. The findings of Loran Nordgren and his team. D. The assumption that shared misfortune may lead to compassion. 10. What did Professor Nordgren and his team find? A. Hardships make people lost in sad memories. B. Hardships lead to people’s lack of compassion. C. People tend to remember their hardships easily. D. People suffering from adversity are easy to break down. 11 Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Hidden Power of Compassion B. Surprising link of Adversity and Compassion C. Compassion: A Gift from Personal Adversity D. Adversity: A Pathway to Deeper Compassion 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了对逆境和同情之间关系的探索和研究，以及研究的有趣发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Recently, my graduate student Daniel and I set out to explore the relationship between adversity and compassion (同情).(最近，我和我的研究生丹尼尔开始探索逆境和同情之间的关系。)”可知，作者进行这项研究是为了揭示逆境和同情之间的关系。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Now, if experiencing any type of hardship can make a person more compassionate, you might assume that the compassion would be reached when someone has experienced the exact misfortune that another person is facing. Interestingly, this turns out to be dead wrong.(现在，如果经历任何类型的困难都能让一个人更有同情心，你可能会认为，当一个人经历了另一个人所面临的确切不幸时，就会有同情心。有趣的是，事实证明这是大错特错的。)”可知，this指代的是上文提到的“the compassion would be reached when someone has experienced the exact misfortune that another person is facing”这一观点，即共同的不幸可能会使人产生同情这种观点。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Therefore, recalling a bad experience in your own past may make you underestimate (低估) the difficulty of others’ challenges. You overcame it, you think; so should he. The result? You lack compassion.(因此，回忆起自己过去的糟糕经历可能会让你低估他人挑战的难度。你认为，你克服了它；他也应该如此。结果如何？你缺乏同情心。)”可知， Nordgren和其团队发现：困难经历会使人缺乏同情心。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Recently, my graduate student Daniel and I set out to explore the relationship between adversity and compassion (同情).(最近，我和我的研究生丹尼尔开始探索逆境和同情之间的关系。)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要通过研究讨论了逆境和同情之间的关系，逆境可以使人有同情心，但如果人们太过了解某一特定的痛苦经历，这会使人缺乏同情心，所以B项“逆境和同情心之间的惊人联系”最适合作本文标题。故选B。 D A new study has provided further explanation for the deaths of 350 African elephants in Botswana during 2023. It was the result of drinking from waterholes where deadly algae (藻) populations had exploded due to climate change. Elephant bodies were first found in the north-eastern part of the country between May and June 2023, but proof showed that illegal hunting was not the cause. With the help of satellite data, the researchers examined the relationship between about 3,000 waterholes and the locations of dead elephants. Their research suggested waterholes near the bodies showed increasing algal level in 2023 compared to earlier years — particularly during the period associated with the mass death event. The researchers also found that rotten (腐烂的) elephant bodies were more spread out across the landscape than the fresh, indicating that the die-off in 2023 was different from normal elephant death patterns. After drinking, elephants were thought to have walked an average of 16.5 km from the harmful waterholes and died within about 88 hours of contact. These findings suggest a high risk and possibility of algal harmful effect in these waterholes. The researchers think that the change from a very dry 2022 — the driest year in a period of 10 years in the area — to an extremely wet 2023, may have led to the appearance of significant amounts of nutrients from the ground, promoting the high algal growth. Southern Africa is thought to become drier and hotter under climate changes, so waterholes across this area will likely be drier for more months of the year. Our findings point to the potential negative effects on water quantity and quality, and the dangers to animals. Meanwhile, the findings also show the bad need to observe carefully overall water quality across all waterbodies, including the smallest ones. 12. What is the direct cause of the elephant deaths? A. Illegal hunting. B. Disease outbreak. C. Badly polluted water. D. Terrible climate change. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 2-3? A. The satellite recorded each elephant’s behaviour. B. The increasing water level killed many elephants. C. Elephant bodies were mainly found beside waterholes. D. The rapid growth of algae contributed to the elephant deaths. 14. What does the author say about the weather in paragraph 4? A. It experienced great change. B. It has been dry for several years. C. It was under the influence of humans. D. It remained fixed with normal rainfall. 15. What do the findings suggest in the last paragraph? A. Water quality needs to be monitored. B. Satellite technology requires to be studied. C. The area will become more suitable for elephants. D Waterholes will suffer serious drought throughout the year. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现2023年博茨瓦纳350头非洲大象是由于致命的藻类而死亡的，分析了藻类快速生长的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study has provided further explanation for the deaths of 350 African elephants in Botswana during 2023. It was the result of drinking from waterholes where deadly algae (藻) populations had exploded due to climate change.(一项新的研究为2023年博茨瓦纳350头非洲大象的死亡提供了进一步的解释。这是由于饮用了水坑里的水，那里致命的藻类数量由于气候变化而激增)”可知，大象死亡的直接原因是严重污染的水。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Their research suggested waterholes near the bodies showed increasing algal level in 2023 compared to earlier years — particularly during the period associated with the mass death event.(他们的研究表明，与早些年相比，2023年尸体附近的水坑显示出藻类水平的增加，尤其是在与大规模死亡事件相关的时期)”可知，藻类的快速生长导致了大象的死亡。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers think that the change from a very dry 2022 — the driest year in a period of 10 years in the area — to an extremely wet 2023, may have led to the appearance of significant amounts of nutrients from the ground, promoting the high algal growth.(研究人员认为，从非常干燥的2022年（该地区10年来最干燥的一年）到极其潮湿的2023年，这种变化可能导致大量营养物质从地下出现，促进了藻类的高速生长)”可知，天气经历了巨大的变化。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Meanwhile, the findings also show the bad need to observe carefully overall water quality across all waterbodies, including the smallest ones.(同时，研究结果还表明，有必要仔细观察所有水体的整体水质，包括最小的水体)”可知，最后一段的调查结果表明水质需要监测。故选A。 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Hashtags (标签) and keywords for Citywalk are currently trending across multiple Chinese social media platforms as more and more people look to share their experiences and thoughts online. ____16____ Some organizers invite folk culture researchers and enthusiasts to act as tour guides.

Since then, my grandma raised me alone and tried her best to provide me with everything I needed. When I was 15, my grandma retired. In order to save enough money for my college education, she took on a part-time job and worked as a cleaning lady at a nearby park. However, I disliked my grandma’s part-time job, because I was afraid that my classmates would see her. One day, I was chosen to act the lead role in a school play that was scheduled for next month. Most of the students acting in the play invited their families to the performance, but I was too ashamed to invite my grandma. Unfortunately, my grandma saw the posters of the play on the walls of the school. One night when we were having dinner, my grandma mentioned that she would love to see me perform. “You won’t be permitted to see the performance, Grandma,” I lied. “No family member was invited.” My grandma was shocked and tried to know why I lied to her. “It’s because I don’t want my friends to find out you’re a cleaning lady!” I broke down finally. Little did I know that my grandma kept working just because of me. If she had the choice, she would rather stay at home and enjoy her retirement. However, she knew that she had to make extra money so that she could give me a comfortable life and send me to college. Although my grandma was sad about my behavior, she continued working. However, one Sunday morning, her back hurt so much that she could not get up and had to ask me to look for the painkillers (止痛药) that she had been taking in secret. Soon, I found the pills but they did not work. 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。 Feeling extremely frightened, I rushed my grandma to the hospital. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I realized what my grandma had done for me, I knew I owed her an apology. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Feeling extremely frightened, I rushed my grandma to the hospital.

Among them, water pollution stands out as a pressing concern. Water pollution is a widespread issue, affecting both surface and groundwater sources. Rivers, lakes, and oceans are contaminated with toxic chemicals, sewage, and agricultural runoff, endangering aquatic life and compromising drinking water quality. The primary causes of water pollution stem from industrial activities that discharge harmful waste without proper treatment, agricultural practices using excessive pesticides and fertilizers, and inadequate sewage management systems. To deal with this issue, immediate action is needed. Governments must enforce stricter regulations on industrial waste disposal. Education programs should raise awareness about the importance of water conservation. In conclusion, it’s high time we took immediate action. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是一篇说明文。要求考生以当前最突出的一项环境问题，如空气污染、水污染、森林破坏等为题，写一篇英语短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 突出：stand out→stick out 处理：deal with→handle with 应该：should→be supposed to 总之：in conclusion→in a word 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Water pollution is a widespread issue, affecting both surface and groundwater sources. 拓展句：Water pollution is a widespread issue, which affects both surface and groundwater sources. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Water pollution is a widespread issue, affecting both surface and groundwater sources.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] The primary causes of water pollution stem from industrial activities that discharge harmful waste without proper treatment, agricultural practices using excessive pesticides and fertilizers, and inadequate sewage management systems.（运用了that引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
