Lena is a psychologist (心理医生) working in a high school. She is devoted to helping students who are struggling with mental health issues. Her days are filled with counseling (咨询) sessions and organizing workshops to educate students about mental health. One day, a student named Sarah came to Lena for help. Sarah had been feeling anxious about her schoolwork.
Lena listened carefully to Sarah’s concerns and asked her questions to better understand her situation. Lena then developed a personalized plan for Sarah, including relaxation techniques, time management strategies, and a referral to a support group.
Over the next few weeks, Lena worked closely with Sarah, meeting regularly to discuss her progress and adjust the plan as needed. Sarah gradually felt more in control of her emotions and her schoolwork. She even started to participate in extracurricular activities and make new friends.
Lena’s work doesn’t stop at the school gates. Beyond the school, Lena leads community activities. She organizes monthly “Mind Matters” talks at the local library, where she explains mental health through easy-to-understand stories and fun activities. During lockdowns, her online support groups became really important connections for lonely teens, making her known as a kind guide who links adolescents and the resources they can get.
What makes Lena do all this? Memories of her brother having a hard time with depression without saying anything, a personal experience of feeling really tired during training that taught her how important it is to take care of herself, and the many moments when students get their confidence back. To her, every counseling session gives a chance to change how society thinks, turning silent struggles into open talks and helping those facing life’s challenges become stronger. She believes that by raising awareness and breaking down shame, she can help create a more supportive and understanding environment for everyone.
4. Why did Sarah come to Lena?
A. She was feeling stressed. B. She was flooded by her housework.
C. She was suffering physical disease. D. She was defeated by boring courses.
5. What does the underlined word “referral” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Devotion. B. Recommendation. C. Approach. D. Punishment.
6. What does Lena think of her job?
A. Significant. B. Tiresome. C. Demanding. D. Depressing.
7. Which of the following can best describe Lena?
A. Talented and calm. B. Organized and selfless.
C. Responsible and experienced. D. Determined and brave.
C
When you’re bored, do you start scanning through short videos? That might not ease your boredom. According to a recent study, switching between videos or fast-forwarding through them can bore you even more.
Boredom is an uncomfortable emotion which can develop when a situation lacks newness or meaning. But it serves a purpose. Boredom signals that there is something more pleasurable to do. This can motivate people to explore their environment and stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer.
Katy Y. Y. Tam, from the University of Toronto Scarborough in Canada, is a scientist and psychologist. In 2021, Tam developed a theory called the “Boredom Feedback Model”, stating that boredom happens when your attention shifts from one thing to another. This type of boredom can happen when people start watching one online video, then, fast-forward or skip to the next one.
Tam ran experiments with more than 1,200 people, and showed that people switched to new videos when they were bored. These people believed switching videos would make them less bored. But the result was just the opposite.
In one experiment, people watched a single video for 10 minutes. Next, scientists asked them to watch seven shorter videos, with the ability to skip to the next. On average, people skipped eight times. When skipping around, people reported feeling more bored, less satisfied, and less engaged than when they fully watched a single video.
Growing evidence shows that boredom is on the rise. Bored people often turn to their phones, but report being more bored. Psychology professor Michael Inzlicht, who worked on the study with Tam, said he had been fascinated by rising boredom in recent years. He thought it could be due to a lack of concentration. “When you’re absorbed, you don’t feel bored. When your attention is spread, you’re almost by definition not satisfied,” Inzlicht said.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Signals of boredom. B. A positive aspect of boredom.
C. The purpose of the experiments. D. Motivations of the experiments.
9. According to the “Boredom Feedback Model”, what causes boredom?
A. Mind-engaging tasks. B. Changing focus constantly.
C. Watching online videos. D. Time-consuming activities.
10. What would people generally expect when skipping videos?
A. Boredom would be killed. B. Self-satisfaction would be achieved.
C. Attention would be enhanced. D. More information would be obtained.
11. According to Michael Inzlicht, which of the following behavior would help avoid boredom?
A. Limiting the time of screen use.
B. Aimlessly adopting different activities.
C. Engaging in attention-demanding tasks.
D. Frequently shifting learning subjects in a short time.
D
Artificial intelligence can help accurately map and track penguin colonies (聚居地) in Antarctica by analysing tourist photos. “Right now, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and so the amount of data being collected around the world is incredible,” says Heather Lynch at Stony Brook University in New York.
Haoyu Wu at Stony Brook University and his colleagues, including Lynch, used an AI tool to highlight Adélie penguins in photographs taken by tourists or scientists on the ground. With guidance from a human expert, the AI tool was able to automatically identify and outline entire colonies in photos. This semi-automated method is much faster than doing everything manually (手动地) because the AI tool takes just 5 to 10 seconds per image, compared with a person taking 1 to 2 minutes. The team also created a 3D digital model of the Antarctic landscape using satellite imagery and data. By identifying landscape details in the tourist pictures, the researchers could place the photographer, then the penguin colony, accurately within the 3D model.
This transformation of ground photos into a bird’s-eye view allows researchers to track how penguin colonies change in location and population size over time, which could prove especially helpful in remote regions of the world. Such tracking is important because Adélie penguins are considered a sentinel species, meaning shifts in their population are an indicator of climate change. The AI-assisted technique can also employ historical imagery to track phenomena such as glacier changes that “occur very slowly and may only be evident by looking across decades of time”, says Lynch.
But researchers remain divided over the impacts of Antarctic tourism — the two large Adélie penguin groups evaluated by the researchers are often visited by tour ships. “Some are worried that, by encouraging tourists to do citizen science, we are justifying their trips, which will be used by the cruise (游轮) companies to sell more tickets,” says Fretwell.
12. Where did the research data come from?
A. Expert data base. B. Maps marked by AI.
C. 3D digital model. D. Images shot by tourists.
13. What role did AI play in highlighting Adélie penguins?
A. It served as an assistant. B. It acted as a predictor.
C. It replaced the human experts. D. It conducted the entire research.
14. Why did the researchers track the changes of Adélie penguin colonies?
A. To gather data on tourism. B. To monitor penguin behaviors.
C. To examine the effects of AI. D. To further study the climate change.
15. Which of the following best describes researchers’ attitudes towards Antarctic tourism?
A. Unclear. B. Controversial. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.

As a young boy, I was always a troublemaker and up to no good. I liked playing tricks and enjoyed treating animals in an unfriendly way, like running after cats crazily, making them scared at the sight of me. Besides, I often used a handmade catapult (弹弓) to shoot at birds on the trees.
All this did afford me indescribable pleasure but also got me unkind stares and blames from people around. My parents disapproved of my behavior and were constantly criticizing me for the tricks I played. I was even given a good beating from my father from time to time. Nevertheless, I ignored their warnings and did not correct my ways until an incident occurred.
One summer noon when I was eight, I was alone at home and just finished lunch. Feeling very hot and bored, I decided to hang around the neighborhood, holding my trusty catapult.
Soon, I came to Mr Smith’s house. His pet dog, big and strong, was tied to a post outside his house, lying in the shade lazily. Looking around, I found that no one was in sight. I decided to make good use of my catapult to play tricks on the massive dog. Picking up a few small stones from the ground, I aimed at the dog and fired them one by one. Several stones hit the poor dog and it began to bark (吠) loudly in pain and jump up and down. But I felt so fun that I didn’t stop doing so. Eventually, the dog’s anger was fueled and it barked wildly at me while struggling to break away from the rope. Not realizing anything wrong with my crazy behavior, I was just laughing happily.
Suddenly, the rope that tied the dog loosened and the big dog got free from its bonds. In no time, with a few powerful steps the dog was on me. Its sharp teeth sank into my leg. I screamed with pain and fright and fell to the ground, shouting out for help.
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。
Luckily, my miserable shouts caught Mr Smith’s attention.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
His words left me ashamed and I decided to make a change.

When you’re bored, do you start scanning through short videos? That might not ease your boredom. According to a recent study, switching between videos or fast-forwarding through them can bore you even more.
Boredom is an uncomfortable emotion which can develop when a situation lacks newness or meaning. But it serves a purpose. Boredom signals that there is something more pleasurable to do. This can motivate people to explore their environment and stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer.
Katy Y. Y. Tam, from the University of Toronto Scarborough in Canada, is a scientist and psychologist. In 2021, Tam developed a theory called the “Boredom Feedback Model”, stating that boredom happens when your attention shifts from one thing to another. This type of boredom can happen when people start watching one online video, then, fast-forward or skip to the next one.
Tam ran experiments with more than 1,200 people, and showed that people switched to new videos when they were bored. These people believed switching videos would make them less bored. But the result was just the opposite.
In one experiment, people watched a single video for 10 minutes. Next, scientists asked them to watch seven shorter videos, with the ability to skip to the next. On average, people skipped eight times. When skipping around, people reported feeling more bored, less satisfied, and less engaged than when they fully watched a single video.
Growing evidence shows that boredom is on the rise. Bored people often turn to their phones, but report being more bored. Psychology professor Michael Inzlicht, who worked on the study with Tam, said he had been fascinated by rising boredom in recent years. He thought it could be due to a lack of concentration. “When you’re absorbed, you don’t feel bored. When your attention is spread, you’re almost by definition not satisfied,” Inzlicht said.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Signals of boredom. B. A positive aspect of boredom.
C. The purpose of the experiments. D. Motivations of the experiments.
9. According to the “Boredom Feedback Model”, what causes boredom?
A. Mind-engaging tasks. B. Changing focus constantly.
C. Watching online videos. D. Time-consuming activities.
10. What would people generally expect when skipping videos?
A. Boredom would be killed. B. Self-satisfaction would be achieved.
C. Attention would be enhanced. D. More information would be obtained.
11. According to Michael Inzlicht, which of the following behavior would help avoid boredom?
A. Limiting the time of screen use.
B. Aimlessly adopting different activities.
C. Engaging in attention-demanding tasks.
D. Frequently shifting learning subjects in a short time.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无聊是一种不舒服的情绪,当一个情况缺乏新奇时,就会产生无聊,但它也有积极的一面。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Boredom signals that there is something more pleasurable to do. This can motivate people to explore their environment and stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. (无聊意味着有更令人愉快的事情要做。这可以激励人们去探索周围的环境,而不再把时间花在没有什么价值的活动上。)”可知,第二段的主要内容是关于无聊的积极方面。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In 2021, Tam developed a theory called the “Boredom Feedback Model”, stating that boredom happens when your attention shifts from one thing to another. (2021年,Tam提出了一个名为“无聊反馈模型”的理论,指出当你的注意力从一件事转移到另一件事时,无聊就会发生。)”可知,根据“无聊反馈模型”,是不断改变焦点导致了无聊。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Tam ran experiments with more than 1,200 people, and showed that people switched to new videos when they were bored. These people believed switching videos would make them less bored. But the result was just the opposite. (Tam对1200多人进行了实验,结果表明,当人们感到无聊时,他们会切换到新的视频。这些人认为切换视频会让他们不那么无聊。但结果却恰恰相反。)”可知,跳过视频时,人们通常会期待无聊会被消灭。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“When you’re absorbed, you don’t feel bored. When your attention is spread, you’re almost by definition not satisfied (当你全神贯注时,你不会感到无聊。当你的注意力分散时,你几乎是不满意的)”可知,根据Michael Inzlicht的说法,参与需要注意力的任务的行为有助于避免无聊。故选C项。

Artificial intelligence can help accurately map and track penguin colonies (聚居地) in Antarctica by analysing tourist photos. “Right now, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and so the amount of data being collected around the world is incredible,” says Heather Lynch at Stony Brook University in New York.
Haoyu Wu at Stony Brook University and his colleagues, including Lynch, used an AI tool to highlight Adélie penguins in photographs taken by tourists or scientists on the ground. With guidance from a human expert, the AI tool was able to automatically identify and outline entire colonies in photos. This semi-automated method is much faster than doing everything manually (手动地) because the AI tool takes just 5 to 10 seconds per image, compared with a person taking 1 to 2 minutes. The team also created a 3D digital model of the Antarctic landscape using satellite imagery and data. By identifying landscape details in the tourist pictures, the researchers could place the photographer, then the penguin colony, accurately within the 3D model.
This transformation of ground photos into a bird’s-eye view allows researchers to track how penguin colonies change in location and population size over time, which could prove especially helpful in remote regions of the world. Such tracking is important because Adélie penguins are considered a sentinel species, meaning shifts in their population are an indicator of climate change. The AI-assisted technique can also employ historical imagery to track phenomena such as glacier changes that “occur very slowly and may only be evident by looking across decades of time”, says Lynch.
But researchers remain divided over the impacts of Antarctic tourism — the two large Adélie penguin groups evaluated by the researchers are often visited by tour ships. “Some are worried that, by encouraging tourists to do citizen science, we are justifying their trips, which will be used by the cruise (游轮) companies to sell more tickets,” says Fretwell.
12. Where did the research data come from?
A. Expert data base. B. Maps marked by AI.
C. 3D digital model. D. Images shot by tourists.
13. What role did AI play in highlighting Adélie penguins?
A. It served as an assistant. B. It acted as a predictor.
C. It replaced the human experts. D. It conducted the entire research.
14. Why did the researchers track the changes of Adélie penguin colonies?
A. To gather data on tourism. B. To monitor penguin behaviors.
C. To examine the effects of AI. D. To further study the climate change.
15. Which of the following best describes researchers’ attitudes towards Antarctic tourism?
A. Unclear. B. Controversial. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a young boy, I was always a troublemaker and up to no good. I liked playing tricks and enjoyed treating animals in an unfriendly way, like running after cats crazily, making them scared at the sight of me. Besides, I often used a handmade catapult (弹弓) to shoot at birds on the trees.
All this did afford me indescribable pleasure but also got me unkind stares and blames from people around. My parents disapproved of my behavior and were constantly criticizing me for the tricks I played. I was even given a good beating from my father from time to time. Nevertheless, I ignored their warnings and did not correct my ways until an incident occurred.
One summer noon when I was eight, I was alone at home and just finished lunch. Feeling very hot and bored, I decided to hang around the neighborhood, holding my trusty catapult.
Soon, I came to Mr Smith’s house. His pet dog, big and strong, was tied to a post outside his house, lying in the shade lazily. Looking around, I found that no one was in sight. I decided to make good use of my catapult to play tricks on the massive dog. Picking up a few small stones from the ground, I aimed at the dog and fired them one by one. Several stones hit the poor dog and it began to bark (吠) loudly in pain and jump up and down. But I felt so fun that I didn’t stop doing so. Eventually, the dog’s anger was fueled and it barked wildly at me while struggling to break away from the rope. Not realizing anything wrong with my crazy behavior, I was just laughing happily.
Suddenly, the rope that tied the dog loosened and the big dog got free from its bonds. In no time, with a few powerful steps the dog was on me. Its sharp teeth sank into my leg. I screamed with pain and fright and fell to the ground, shouting out for help.

【答案】One possible version:
Luckily, my miserable shouts caught Mr Smith's attention. He dashed out of the house and freed the dog's teeth from my leg. Having caged the dog, Mr Smith rushed me to the clinic, where the doctor gave me an injection and dressed the wound carefully. On the way back home, I tearfully told Mr Smith the whole story. Not criticizing me, he looked me in the eye and said lovingly, “Animals are our friends that need our care and love and will treat us well if treated well".
His words left me ashamed and I decided to make a change. Instead of playing tricks on helpless animals, I did what I could to take care of them. With my father's help, I became a volunteer in our local animal shelter, feeding or walking animals. I even set aside my pocket money to contribute to charity which helps save homeless animals. Once a troublemaker, later a caregiver, I gradually won people's praise and respect I hadn't experienced before. Most importantly, never did I feel so rewarded and honored for what I did for animals.
【解析】
【导语】本文是以人物为线索展开,主要描述淘气的作者因为喜欢用他自己做的弹弓打小动物而被周围的人不满。虽然他的爸爸打了他好多次,他还是不改,甚至去挑战了史密斯家被绑着的大狗。最后大狗气急了就挣脱了绳子咬到了作者的腿,让他疼的大喊救命。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“幸运的是,我悲惨的喊叫吸引了史密斯先生的注意。”可知,第一段可描写史密斯先生过去帮助作者把狗赶跑。
②由第二段首句内容“他的话让我感到很羞愧并且决定改变。”可知,第二段可描写作者体会到自己以前的行为是错的,并且做出了改变的情况。
