Beijing Roast Duck
A trip to Beijing would be incomplete without a visit to the Great Wall, just as it would be incomplete without enjoying Beijing Roast Duck, also known as Peking Duck. Often honoured as “the first dish to try in China”, this famous dish, with its long history and former status as a royal fine food, promises foreign tourists a romantic taste and a memorable dining experience.
The Beijing Qianmen branch of Quanjude, one of China’s best-known roast duck chain restaurants, could be a preferred choice for enjoying the roast duck. Located at Qianmen, it has been a rich commercial district (商业区) since the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). After dining at Quanjude, visitors can continue to explore the Qianmen commercial district. Local fine food, particularly at a restaurant called Donglaishun, known for its specialty — instant-boiled mutton (羊肉), a traditional hot pot dish — should not be missed.
Mala Hot Pot
In recent years, Chinese dishes featuring spicy (辛辣的) and mouth-numbing tastes, known as “mala”, have gained popularity, particularly in Southeast Asia. For foreign tourists who enjoy spicy hot pot, it is advisable to find out the most traditional cuisine (菜肴) in southwest China s Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municıpality, both well-known for their spicy offerings, with restaurants serving such dishes spotted throughout these regions.
Guangdong Cuisine
As one of the four major Chinese cuisines, Cantonese cuisine, or Guangdong cuisine, has continued to impress global food enthusiasts with its pleasant freshness, making it a nice choice for foreigners who appreciate a light taste. Foods such as dim sum, boiled shrimp,roast goose, bite-sized wonton (馄饨) and steamed spareribs with pickled plums (酸梅蒸排骨) are sure to call to mind the taste buds of diners. Travellers can get their fill of this cuisine when exploring the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, making it a fitting choice for winter tours.

Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves.
One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She paused to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story.
Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favorite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow.
Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates.
Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful.

A. To express opinions on teaching literature.

【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher.(每当我想起Anita Moore女士,我总是微笑着,为有她做我的老师而感到幸运)”和最后一段“Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher.

Studies have found that having lots of friends helps us feel happier. But sometimes we stop talking to friends we used to be close with.
Scientists did seven studies with about 2,500 people. They wanted to know how people feel about getting back in touch with friends they haven’t talked to in a while. They looked at the problems and reasons for reconnecting and if there were ways to help people send a message to old friend.
To see how willing people were to reconnect, the scientists asked them how ready they were to do different things right away. This included calling or texting a friend they hadn’t talked to in a long time. The results showed that people were not very excited about reaching out to an old friend, just like they don’t want to talk to someone new or pick up trash.
People were worried that their old friends might not want to hear from them. It might be weird to reconnect after so long, and they felt bad. They thought both they and their old friends were too busy to talk again.
People thought there were only a few good reasons to get in touch, like saying happy birthday to a friend. Talking about a memory they shared was the second reason. They didn’t like the idea of asking an old friend for help.
A scientist said that even though people were warned about how an old friend would react to their message, the help they offered to ease this worry didn’t really work well. The scientist added that we know from many years of research that friends make us happy and give our lives meaning. These research findings will encourage people to send a message to someone they miss. It will be the first step to establish contact with friends they have not communicated with for a long period.
8. What is the main focus of the scientists’ research?
A. The benefits of maintaining friendships.
B. The process of forming new friendships.
C. The feelings about reconnecting with old friendships.
D. The reasons for losing contact with long-lost friends.
9. What did the scientists find out about people’s willingness to reconnect with old friends?
A. Most people wanted to reconnect.
B. People were not sure about contacting old friends.
C. People liked to ask old friends for help.
D. Being busy was the main reason for not making contact.
10. What does the underlined word “weird” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Strange. B. Interesting. C. Fashionable. D. Fresh.
11. What was found to help people contact old friends?
A. Sending a message to ask for a favor.
B. Focusing on the guilt of not reaching out.
C. Expressing concerns over the message reception.
D. Practicing social connection with current friends first.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要是人们与久违的朋友重新联系的意愿和感受的研究报告。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists did seven studies with about 2,500 people. They wanted to know how people feel about getting back in touch with friends they haven’t talked to in a while.(科学家们对大约2500人进行了7项研究。他们想知道人们与许久未联系的朋友重新取得联系时的感受)”可知,科学家们研究的主要焦点是与旧朋友重新联系的感觉。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The results showed that people were not very excited about reaching out to an old friend, just like they don’t want to talk to someone new or pick up trash.(研究结果表明,人们对联系老朋友并不是很兴奋,就像他们不想和陌生人说话或捡垃圾一样)”可知,关于人们与老朋友重新联系的意愿,科学家们发现人们不确定是否要联系老朋友。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“to reconnect after so long(在这么久之后重新联系)”以及“and they felt bad. They thought both they and their old friends were too busy to talk again.(他们感觉很糟糕。他们认为他们和他们的老朋友都太忙了,没有时间再交谈)”可知,根据后半句“他们感觉很糟糕”可知,重新联系久违的朋友可能会让他们产生不好的感受,由此推测“weird”的意思应该是负面的,而“strange”意为“奇怪的”,是负面的意思,“interesting”意为“有趣的”,“fashionable”意为“时尚的”,“fresh”意为“新鲜的”,这三个词都是正面的意思,所以选项B、选项C和选项D均错误。故划线词意思是“奇怪的”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“People thought there were only a few good reasons to get in touch, like saying happy birthday to a friend. Talking about a memory they shared was the second reason. They didn’t like the idea of asking an old friend for help.(人们认为只有几个好的理由来联系,比如对朋友说一声生日快乐。谈论他们共同的记忆是第二个理由。他们不喜欢向老朋友求助)”以及最后一段“These research findings will encourage people to send a message to someone they miss. It will be the first step to establish contact with friends they have not communicated with for a long period.(这些研究结果将鼓励人们给他们想念的人发信息。这将是他们与长期没有联系的朋友建立联系的第一步)”可知,人们不喜欢向老朋友求助,以此作为不联系的理由,而研究结果鼓励人们给老朋友发信息,故可推知,发信息请求帮忙可以帮助人们联系老朋友。故选A。
D
Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety? Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window? Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think.
In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding.
Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.”
Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike.
As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy.
Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says.
“You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.”
12. The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to .
A. demonstrate the level of texting anxiety
B. stress the importance of communication
C. analyze the cause of troubled relationships
D. introduce the increasing use of cell phones
13. What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Frightened. B. Interested. C. Excited. D. Nervous.
14. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety.
B. We should ask our partners to change their texting styles.
C. Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety.
D. Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts.
15. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A texting schedule: The final way out
B. Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions
C. Text conversations: Strengths and weaknesses
D. A new perspective: How much texting is too much
【答案】12 A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了手机带来的信息焦虑的危害及如何缓解这种焦虑。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think. (手机信息焦虑确实存在,并且比你想象的普遍)”可知,信息焦虑是一件普遍的事情。根据第二段中的“The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. (2022年,人均每天查看手机262次,而2016年的频率只有80次。很多人应接不暇,最终有意或无意地选择不回复亲友)”可知,人们对手机的依赖程度越来越高,导致更大程度的焦虑,并选择开始无视手机信息。由此推知,第二段的目的是为了更具体的说明手机信息焦虑的程度。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词组上文“Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate.(Aguirre表示,这种焦虑会体现在身体的反应中,胸部紧绷,紧张或是心率加快)”说明这种焦虑会导致紧张的情绪。由此推知,划线词组on edge是“紧张的”意思。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles.(如果你和经常联系的人有着不同的发消息习惯,可以与他们建立一个消息时间表,这是减轻压力的途径之一)”可知,制定一个消息时间表有助于减轻压力。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段第一句“Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. (Aguirre表示,这种焦虑会体现在身体的反应中,胸部紧绷,紧张或是心率加快)”及第五段第一句“As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. (信息焦虑不仅会对个人产生影响,也会给你与亲友的关系带来负面影响)”可知,信息焦虑有很多弊端;最后两段中的“Establishing a texting schedule (建立消息时间表)”,“limiting the amount of time(限制时间)”和“You can give yourself a pep talk(给自己打气)”等则给出了具体的解决方法。由此可知,本篇主要说明的是信息焦虑带来的问题及解决办法。Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions(信息焦虑:问题和解决方案)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。

【16题详解】
根据上文“If you want to do well at school. going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important. As a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to appear on the test.(如果你想在学校表现好。上课是学习的第一步。如果你缺课,你就会错过老师认为重要的东西。结果,你会错过最有可能出现在考试中的内容。)”可知,上文主要强调了上课的重要性,缺课会错过老师教授的重要知识,导致最终错过考试内容,故本句再次总结上文,强调想学习好,就要去上每一节课。G项“So if you want to study well, go to every class.(所以如果你想学习好,去上每节课。)”符合文意。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Try not to write down everything.(尽量不要把所有东西都写下来。)”以及后文“Write down unfamiliar terms.(写下不熟悉的术语。)”可知,本句应当与前后文并列,都是在说明如何记笔记的问题,D项“All you need is to put the main points in your own words.(你所需要的就是用你自己的话把要点表达出来。)”符合文意。故选D。
【18题详解】
本空为本段小标题,结合后文内容“If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help or tutor you before or after class.(如果你在课堂上遇到困难,和你的老师谈谈。他或她可能会在课前或课后给你更多的帮助或指导。)”可知,本段主要说明的是在需要帮助的时候,找老师谈谈。后文中“talk to your teacher.”可对应到A选项中“Talk to your teacher”。A项“Talk to your teacher if you need help.(如果你需要帮助,和你的老师谈谈。)”符合文意。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“In order to learn more in class, it is helpful to take part in class discussions. Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your focus during the class discussion.(为了在课堂上学到更多,参加课堂讨论是很有帮助的。提问和与老师和同学有眼神交流可以提高你在课堂讨论中的注意力。)”以及后文“This helps you make your point clear in class.(这有助于你在课堂上讲清楚你的观点。)”可知,后文提到了某一做法有助于在课堂上讲清楚你的观点,可知本句应当是在说明具体的做法。E项“If the material is difficult, you'd better read it before class.(如果材料很难,你最好在课前读一下。)”符合文意。故选E。
20题详解】
根据后文“Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it. Be careful! Sometimes group sessions can become chatting sessions.(确保每个人都熟悉这些材料,因为你不想花时间向不懂的人重新教授这些材料。小心!有时小组会议可以变成聊天会议。)”可知,本段主要说明的是成立学习小组的问题,本句为解释说明学习小组的含义,成立学习小组即把想在课堂上表现好的学生聚集在一起。C项“Get students together who want to do well in class.(把想在课堂上表现好的学生聚集在一起。)”符合文意。故选C。

Learning a language is usually ____36____ (difference) from learning other subjects. It includes a lot of practice and follow-ups. When ____37____ (talk) about my personal experience I would say that I have a rich experience in learning English ____38____ a second language.
I learned English for ten years starting from Grade Seven to graduation from university. After graduation, I felt that I should improve my language skills.

I still remember my first English teachers ____40____ changed frequently (频繁地) in ____41____ beginning, but all of them had much in common — They used grammar-translation method.

To my mind, I have not reached that point.
【答案】36. different
37. talking
38. as 39. takes
40. who##that
41. the 42. were asked
43. activities
44. to use 45. correctly
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“我”学习第二语言——英语的经历。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:学习一门语言通常不同于学习其他科目。它包括大量的练习和后续行动。空处应填形容词作表语,“be different from”为固定搭配,意为“与……不同”。故填different。
【37题详解】
考查状语从句的省略或非谓语动词。句意:当谈到我的个人经历时,我会说我在学习英语作为第二语言方面有丰富的经验。句子还原应为“When I was talking about my personal experience, I would say…”,当状语从句的主语与主句的主语相同,而且从句谓语动词含有be的形式时,可以将从句中相同的主语和be的形式省略;也可理解为talk与其逻辑主语I存在主动关系,故用所给动词的现在分词。故填talking。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。“as a second language”意为“作为第二外语”。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:的确,学习一门语言需要一生的时间。本句在描述客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语是动名词短语learning a language,表示单数意义,谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填takes。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:我还记得我的第一个英语老师,他们一开始经常更换,但他们都有很多共同点——他们使用语法翻译方法。本句为限制性定语从句,先行词为teachers,表示人,且从句中缺少主语,因此用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。“in the beginning”意为“刚开始”,为固定搭配。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查动词的时态和语态。句意:他们过去常常在黑板上写下双语单词表,然后我们作为学生,被要求抄写这些单词表并记住它们。主语we(学生)是所给词ask的承受者,且动作发生在过去,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,故填were asked。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:所有的教学都侧重于阅读和写作技能,但没有针对口语或听力的活动。此处为there be句型的主语,由于be用的是were,因此临近的名词需用相应的复数形式。故填activities。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,我仍然不完全知道如何使用英语语言,比如使用习语和正确的词汇形式。此处是“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构,为固定用法,在句中作宾语。故填to use。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:此外,我还应该更加努力地正确使用某些词汇。此处修饰动词use,应用提示词的副词形式。故填correctly。

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。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed from my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the school basketball team, but I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Mr John, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct?” I asked anxiously, dreading his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year,” the coach replied without the slightest bit of pity.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes. All my efforts were in vain. I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I walked away. Every one of them jumped around with exuberance (生气勃勃) after seeing that they made the team. Trying to forget about the situation, I planned to head over to the cafeteria to buy some food, but Dan caught up with me on the way.
“Everybody is coming over to my house to celebrate! Will you be there?” he asked.
“I… I didn’t make the team,” I stammered (结巴).
“Oh, I didn’t know. You can still come after school if you want,” he hesitated.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Dan walked away, leaving me in despair.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After almost a year of practicing, I tried again.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Dan walked away, leaving me in despair. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. My mind went blank for the rest of the school day. My heart broke when I saw all my friends gathering after school, joking and laughing around. It was then that it occurred to me that nobody was going to give me a position on that team. I would have to earn it by myself. Having made this mental breakthrough, I decided to work for my goal of making the team. I decided to hit the gym every day.
After almost a year of practicing, I tried again. I felt confident. Regardless of the outcome, I knew that I had worked hard. The next day, I found out that I was on the list. Seeing my name printed in large bold letters on the name list made me feel excited. My dream came true finally. I became a member of the school basketball team. From the experience, I realized that the greater efforts we made, the sweeter reward we would get and that success needed painstaking efforts and patience.
【解析】

Beijing Roast Duck
A trip to Beijing would be incomplete without a visit to the Great Wall, just as it would be incomplete without enjoying Beijing Roast Duck, also known as Peking Duck. Often honoured as “the first dish to try in China”, this famous dish, with its long history and former status as a royal fine food, promises foreign tourists a romantic taste and a memorable dining experience.
The Beijing Qianmen branch of Quanjude, one of China’s best-known roast duck chain restaurants, could be a preferred choice for enjoying the roast duck. Located at Qianmen, it has been a rich commercial district (商业区) since the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). After dining at Quanjude, visitors can continue to explore the Qianmen commercial district. Local fine food, particularly at a restaurant called Donglaishun, known for its specialty — instant-boiled mutton (羊肉), a traditional hot pot dish — should not be missed.
Mala Hot Pot
In recent years, Chinese dishes featuring spicy (辛辣的) and mouth-numbing tastes, known as “mala”, have gained popularity, particularly in Southeast Asia. For foreign tourists who enjoy spicy hot pot, it is advisable to find out the most traditional cuisine (菜肴) in southwest China s Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municıpality, both well-known for their spicy offerings, with restaurants serving such dishes spotted throughout these regions.
Guangdong Cuisine
As one of the four major Chinese cuisines, Cantonese cuisine, or Guangdong cuisine, has continued to impress global food enthusiasts with its pleasant freshness, making it a nice choice for foreigners who appreciate a light taste. Foods such as dim sum, boiled shrimp,roast goose, bite-sized wonton (馄饨) and steamed spareribs with pickled plums (酸梅蒸排骨) are sure to call to mind the taste buds of diners. Travellers can get their fill of this cuisine when exploring the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, making it a fitting choice for winter tours.

Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves.
One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She paused to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story.
Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favorite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow.
Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates.
Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful.
4. Why did Ms. Moore cry in the reading class?
A. The story was too sad.
B. She was moved by the students.
C. She thought of her own grandmother.
D. She helped her students understand the story.
5. What can we learn about Ms. Moore from Paragraph 3?
A. She was good at writing books.
B. She inspired the writer’s love for reading.
C. She donated many books to poor students.
D. She was the favorite teacher of the whole class.
6. Which of the following words best describe Ms. Moore?
A. Responsible and caring. B. Positive and independent.
C. Inspiring and strict. D. Knowledgeable and confident.
7. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To express opinions on teaching literature.
B. To discuss how to become a caring teacher.
C. To introduce the classes and activities in her school.
D. To share her memory about her teacher, Ms. Anita Moore.
C
Studies have found that having lots of friends helps us feel happier. But sometimes we stop talking to friends we used to be close with.
Scientists did seven studies with about 2,500 people. They wanted to know how people feel about getting back in touch with friends they haven’t talked to in a while. They looked at the problems and reasons for reconnecting and if there were ways to help people send a message to old friend.
To see how willing people were to reconnect, the scientists asked them how ready they were to do different things right away. This included calling or texting a friend they hadn’t talked to in a long time. The results showed that people were not very excited about reaching out to an old friend, just like they don’t want to talk to someone new or pick up trash.
People were worried that their old friends might not want to hear from them. It might be weird to reconnect after so long, and they felt bad. They thought both they and their old friends were too busy to talk again.
People thought there were only a few good reasons to get in touch, like saying happy birthday to a friend. Talking about a memory they shared was the second reason. They didn’t like the idea of asking an old friend for help.
A scientist said that even though people were warned about how an old friend would react to their message, the help they offered to ease this worry didn’t really work well. The scientist added that we know from many years of research that friends make us happy and give our lives meaning. These research findings will encourage people to send a message to someone they miss. It will be the first step to establish contact with friends they have not communicated with for a long period.
8. What is the main focus of the scientists’ research?
A. The benefits of maintaining friendships.
B. The process of forming new friendships.
C. The feelings about reconnecting with old friendships.
D. The reasons for losing contact with long-lost friends.
9. What did the scientists find out about people’s willingness to reconnect with old friends?
A Most people wanted to reconnect.
B. People were not sure about contacting old friends.
C. People liked to ask old friends for help.
D. Being busy was the main reason for not making contact.
10 What does the underlined word “weird” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Strange. B. Interesting. C. Fashionable. D. Fresh.
11. What was found to help people contact old friends?
A. Sending a message to ask for a favor.
B. Focusing on the guilt of not reaching out.
C. Expressing concerns over the message reception.
D. Practicing social connection with current friends first.
D
Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety? Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window? Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think.
In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding.
Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.”
Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike.
As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy.
Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says.
“You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.”
12. The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to .
A. demonstrate the level of texting anxiety

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。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed from my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the school basketball team, but I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Mr John, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct?” I asked anxiously, dreading his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year,” the coach replied without the slightest bit of pity.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes. All my efforts were in vain. I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I walked away. Every one of them jumped around with exuberance (生气勃勃) after seeing that they made the team. Trying to forget about the situation, I planned to head over to the cafeteria to buy some food, but Dan caught up with me on the way.
“Everybody is coming over to my house to celebrate! Will you be there?” he asked.
“I… I didn’t make the team” I stammered (结巴).
“Oh, I didn’t know. You can still come after school if you want,” he hesitated.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Dan walked away, leaving me in despair.

After almost a year of practicing, I tried again.
