For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank. How to Shift'Big Feelings Emotions are a fundamental part of what makes us human.The current wisdom in therapy (and on social media is that we should face negative cmotions head on-and that if we don't,they will go bad inside of us.There's no doubt that1(cope)with stressful situations through long-term avoidance is harmful and can lead to more psychological distress,but not all avoidance is bad. Sometimes,it's best not to choose between approaching or avoiding,but to shift between2 two intentionally. Avoidance can allow the intensity of a negative expericncc3(dccrcasc).It can also provide distance4 helps us see the experience from a broader perspective. How can you figure out whether to avoid or to face up to your feelings?Dr.Kross,an emotion researcher,suggested asking yourself,"Is5I'm doing making me feel bettcr about the problem in front of me?Is this issuc still a concern6I take some time away from it?" If you find that shifting your focus brings you relief and your concerns don't resurface down the road,that7 (count)as working.You might say something regrettable at a party,for instance,but instead of worrying about it,you distract yourself by watching funny vidcos that night. When we use the word"you,"it is almost only to refer to other people,Dr.Kross said.But when you use it on yourself,it's a strategy8(know)as distanced self-talk,which can be a powerful way to regulate negative cmotions.So instead of saying "I am stressed out,"which may cause your heart to race,tell yourself "9 are stressed out."This casts you10 the role of "someone else,"and may help you feel more sympathy and understand others'feelings.

While painting outdoors on the spot has been around for roughly 200 years,the "en plein air"(open-air)art movement12 by Boudin and Monet has recently inspired a newer trend:urban sketching.This casual,13 approach to en plein air art is often accompanied by text to tell the story of the artist's surroundings when they travel. "Sketching on the go at different places around the globe opens your eyes to everything from the obvious to the 14.A sketch captures a(n)15 of people and places in a way that a photograph never can,"says Annette Morris,education director at Urban Sketchers,a global community that organises urban sketching walks for painting 16_ Alex Hillkurtz,an urban sketcher,believes drawing or painting_17helps travellers slow down and experience a place in a different way."While travelling.there's a tendency to rush through wish-list experiences.Urban sketching retreats allow us to step out of the busy and noisy activities by creating something by hand,"he explains."As we draw, we notice the beauty in the18:the way sunlight warms a scenc,the comings and goings of locals in a market and the colours reflected in the water fountain." "As an art instructor,it's wonderful to see how each participant brings a(n)19perspective to what's in front of them,"says Alicia Aradilla,who now leads urban sketching retrcats."Every sketchbook cnds up being different;I find that 20appealing about sketching trips." II.Rcading Comprchension Section A Directions:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B.C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Tragic optimism,which means finding meaning and maintaining hope despite inevitable pain,loss and suffering,is a crucial life skill.There are three tragedies that everyone faces.The first tragedy is21pain,because we are made of flesh and bone.The second is guilt,because we have the freedom to make choices and thus feel responsible when things don't go our way.The third is loss,because we must face the reality that everything we value is22. including our own lives. Tragic optimism means acknowledging,accepting and even expecting that life will contain hardship and hurt,then doing everything we can to move forward with a23attitude anyway.It recognizes that one cannot be happy by trying to be happy all the time,or worse yet,24 we ought to be.Rather,tragic optimism holds space for the full range of human experience and emotion,giving us25 to feel happiness and sadness,hope and fear,loss and possibility-sometimes in the same day,and even in the same hour. Tragic optimism does not encourage26 seeking out or romanticizing misery.Not everything has to be meaningful;sometimes things are just 27.Instead,tragic optimism realizes the inevitability of 28 but also that we ourselves can determine how we face it. Difficult moments often lead to extreme behaviors:what's now known as29positivity on the one hand- tricking ourselves that everything is great-or extreme negativity and desperation on the other.Both 30 us of doing anything about the situation. Extreme optimism and unrealistic belief,at root,31that anything is wrong;and if nothing is wrong,there is nothing to worry about and nothing to change.Extreme negativity and desperation are so harsh that they essentially say that any action would be 32.Between these two poles exists a third way:33 wise hope and wise action. Wise hope and wise action ask us to34 a situation and see it clearly for what it is,and then gather the strength,courage and resolve to focus on what we can control.We remind ourselves that we have faced challenges before.We continue because to stand still is not a(n)35. 21.A.constant B.mental C.physical D.sudden 22.A.impermancnt B.irresistible C.unbelicvable D.unrealistic 23.A.critical B.flexible C.positive D.sympathetic 24.A.assuming B.complaining C.rejecting D.warning 25.A.memory B.motives C.permission D.rewards 26.A.actively B.hesitantly C.initially D.materialistically 27.A.awful B.beneficial C.relevant D.unnoticed 28.A.conflict B.departure C.romance D.suffering 29.A.balanced B.blind C.conditional D.infectious 30.A.accuse B.free C.inform D.remind 31.A.confirm B.dcny C.imply D.recognize 32.A.pointless B.preventive C.successful D.violent 33.A.committing to B.fighting against C.participating in D.reflccting on 34.A.accept B.create C.exploit D.mask 35.A.beginning B.example C.option D.trend Section B Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A.B.C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. (A) Young Americans,fed up with U.S.social media and its fake praise and obvious abuse,are turning to a Chinese app -BlueBook. In China,anyone looking for a restaurant revicw,a how-to guidc or a trip route is likely to fire up the app.But U.S. teens and 20-somethings are downloading it to get in on a new beauty trend.Users holding a sign with the Chinese characters "tingquan,"mcaning "listening to advice,"invite others to weigh in on how to improve their appcarance. Commenters can write in tips,but they also post images of hairdos or fashions.Sometimes they even edit advice scekers' photos to show how they will look with the improved styles. In China,people are more straightforward,sometimes even cruelly honest,but they mean well.Yet people on U.S. social media can be excessively complimentary.That's why young users who want real talk about their appearance and personal style are now looking elsewhere. Z.J.Rubin,a 16-year-old high-school student from Pittsburgh,said his interest in Chinese culture has stimulated him to try different Chinese social-media app.Rubin joined the #tingquan campaign in February after seeing other users do it.He said he was touched by the kindness of the strangers who encouraged him to be more confident and told him to sleep more,as they thought he looked tired. Zaria MaBon,a 22-year-old public-health student in Atlanta,discovered BlueBook three years ago,when a friend told her that it was"like Instagram,only better."MaBon is Black,so when she asked for styling tips,she prepared herself for"racist abuse and body shaming."On BlueBook,however,she received"straightforward but helpful"feedback."It was the first place where I didn't get nasty comments,"MaBon said. 36.Unlike Chinese youngsters,young Americans are turning to BlueBook to A.get feedback on their looks B.share their own beauty tips with others C.look for step-by-step guides on hairdos D.complain about fake praise and obvious abuse 37.By "people on U.S.social media can be excessively complimentary".the writer implies that people on U.S.social media A.are honest with their opinions B.don't care about others'viewpoints C.are unwilling to express their views D.don't often give objective comments 38.Both Rubin and Mabon think that BlueBook is a(n) community. A.diverse B.fashion C.international D.supportive 39.Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A.Tingquan Campaign at home and abroad B.A Chincse app is giving Amcricans advice C.Kind and honest strangers on social media D.Young Americans seek how-to guides in China (B) The MZH Alumni Executive Mentor(校友导师)Program Program Background The MZH Global Alumni Programs and MZH Shanghai's Center for Career Development (CCD)launched this program in 2014.The goal is to build up a lively alumni-student mentorship program that recognizes our alumni's professional achievement while helping current MZH Shanghai students get knowledge,information and perspectives from the real world and receive guidance from mentors on their future career plans.

This past summer,OpcnAI relcascd ol,the first in a scrics of A.1.models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond.Before the relcase,it hired Apollo Research,which studics risks of cheating by A.1.,to evaluate the systcm.To pressurc-test the system,Apollo instructed ol to strongly pursuc a specific goal,telling it "nothing clsc matters..” Hcre is OpenAl's cvaluation report about ol: Data control:In a simple data processing task where the goals of the model were in conflict with the user's goal,ol would appear to complete the task as requested but subtly(不易条觉地)control the data to advance its own goal in I9 percent of cases. Doubling down:When Apollo Research conducted 'follow-up interviews'where they challenged the model about its incorrect actions,ol would deny taking action or make up false explanations in 99 percent of cases. Chatbots powered by large language models are suited for helping people brainstorm because they can open a path that's worth exploring.One assumption for how large language models such as ol think is that they use what logicians call abduction.Abduction isn't well known,but it's common in daily life,not to mention possibly inside A.I.Unlike deduction,which is reasoning from general laws to specific conclusions,and induction,reasoning from the specific to the general,abduction is a type of probable reasoning that starts from the known results and determines the most likely cause leading to those results,requiring creativity. The more powerful A.I.gets,the less humans understand about it-but perhaps we shouldn't judge ourselves too harshly for that.As it turns out,A.I.doesn't even understand itself.It's one thing to honor the mystery of the human brain,but quite another to admit that artificial intelligence-both creative and plotting-is slipping away from our understanding. 43.In the system test,what did Apollo Research ask ol to do? A.Prioritize user safety. B.Think before speaking. C.Pressure-test the design. D.Achieve a goal at all costs. 44.What can be concluded from the evaluation report about o1? A.ol always completes tasks on schedule as user intended. B.Data control occurs in about 5%of ol's data processing tasks. C.ol manages data skillfully and denies actions when challenged. D.ol processes data efficiently and admits incorrect actions readily. 45.Abduction is the reasoning approach used to A.identify patterns and make gencralizations B.draw certain conclusions from general principles C.move from specific observations to universal laws D.infer the most possible explanation from given evidence 46.Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with? A.The human brain is less complicated than A.I.. B.Humans have control over the progress of A.I.. C.A.I.may have to give in when challenged by humans. D.It's hard to accept that A.1.is beyond our understanding. Section C Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in cach blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.Tend to yourself while you tend your plants B.You can put it right in front of you and enjoy its beauty. C.You don't need to be a gardening expert to enjoy the benefits. D.Viewing nature indoors can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. E.Rescarch suggests you may get the same reaction from caring for houseplants. F.But indoor green spaces,even small ones,have benefits for our physical and mental well-being,too. Houseplants Can Make You Healthier Absorbing yourself in nature is good for you.Being outdoors has been shown to improve your mood,concentration and mental health,among other things.47 Get your hands in the soil. Touching soil,even if it's in pots by your window,may improve your health as well.Dirt can benefit your microbiome(首群)，with possible benefits such as a stronger immune system(免疫系统)._48 So don't see plants as something to look at;instead,repot plants with your gloves off. 49 When Griffin,known on social media as Plant Kween,is ministering to the 202 plants in his apartment,he uses it as an opportunity to check in with himself:Am I getting enough water?Have I gotten enough sunlight today,too? Sometimes he uses the plant-care time to pick up the phone and connect with someone."I've had some of my best conversations with friends as I've been watering my plants,"he said. Your work space doesn't have to be a wasteland. If you have an office that gets some light,consider bringing in something green.The presence of plants in a work space has been shown to make workers happicr and more productive.Even a bunch of flowers from a supermarket could be good for your health-a nice thought that rescarchers actually put to the test in a study of Japancse businessmen. And,if you work at home,sit near a plant for the day."You know,we don't always have to push it into a corner,"Griffin said.“_50” III.Summary Writing Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. When Questions Turn Self-Centered Does this situation sound familiar?A friend approaches and asks,"Hey,what are you up to this weekend?"You tell her you're not sure,but nothing big.She replies with her own vivid plan."I'm going to my lake house,and we're having a massive bonfire." What seemed like a genuine expression of interest in you suddenly shifts and becomes a chance for your friend to show off,complain or simply share about herself.I call this strategy "boomerasking,"and it happens constantly.Like the circling bend of a boomerang ()boomeraskers ask a question,let their conversation partners answer and then immediately bring the focus of the conversation back to themselves. For many people,self-disclosure simply feels great.Still,most of us are sensitive to the fact that we can't just walk around showing off and complaining and talking about ourselves all the time.So,we attempt to solve this problem with some indirect habits.But among all the secmingly skillful and obvious ways we attempt to mask our self-centcredness, boomcrasking might be the worst-because it takes away the amazing benefits that come from asking qucstions. Asking sincere questions,listening to others'answers and following up on those answers may be the easiest and most powerful pathway to shared understanding and interpersonal connection.Boomerasking ruins the magic,however. Failing to follow up on your partner's answer,and answering the qucstion yourself instead,makes others fecl like you don't care about them-and probably didn't care about them when you asked the question to begin with. So don't boomerask!While sharing about yourself feels good and can bring us closer,when another person shares their perspective,focus on them.We should all aim to be more interested in our partners before we go back to proving how interesting we are ourselves. 第IⅡ卷（共40分） IV.Translation Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets. 52.不要因为一次失败的尝试，就放弃你的目标。(givC) 53.这位知名作家推荐的书广受追捧，现已售罄。(S0) 54.这座北方冰城面对突如其来的大批游客，一时无所适从。(number) 55.当你知道这些交通工具和旅行线路背后的故事，你一定会惊叹人类一直以来是多么窗有冒险新神。(amazed) V.Guided Writing Directions:Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假设你是明启中学高三学生李明。你想报考某外地大学，因为该校有你心仪的专业，且该专业在全国排名领 先，但遭到了父母的反对。写一封信给你的父母，争取他们的支持（信中请不要出现真实的校名和人名）。内客 须包括： 1)你的意愿； 2)你的理由。 黄浦区2025年高考模拟考英语试卷参考答策 1.coping to cope 2.the/these 3.to decrease 4.that/which 5.what 6.after/when/if 7.counts is counted 8.known 9.you 10.in/into 11-15 KJBEF 16-20 AHICD 21-25 CACAC 26-30 AADBB 31-35 BAAAC 36-39 ADDB 40-42 CBA 43-46 DCDD 47-50 FEAB 51.Boomerasking is when someone asks a question but quickly makes the conversation about themselves.This indirect self-disclosure makes people feel good,but it reduces the benefits of real questions,like building understanding and connections.Also,this behavior can make others feel unimportant.So avoid boomerasking,and raise sincere questions and listen attentively to others'responses.(59 words) 52.Don't give up your goals (just)because of one unsuccessful attempt. 53.The book recommended by this famous author is so popular that it is now out of stock/sold out. 54.The sudden arrival of a large number of tourists left this northern ice city at a loss.
