An arts and culture guide to Turin, Italy
With an international singing contest in Turin, explore its cultural highlights — from a secret architect’s apartment to dynamic street art.
Museo Casa Mollino
This museum is the former house of the famous Italian architect Carlo Mollino. He redesigned it in the 1960s as a secret shelter, never telling anyone about the apartment and never actually spending a single night there. Instead, he created a kind of pharaoh’s tomb; symbols of ancient Egypt and surrealist (超现实主义) details can be found everywhere, from zebra and leopard print to a 19th-century boat-shaped bed. Now a father-son team manages this fascinating historic home and offers enthusiastic guided tours.
Museo Nazionale del Cinema
Turin’s Museo Nazionale del Cinema serves as a major landmark of the city. What was designed and constructed as a Jewish temple in 1889 now houses an engaging permanent collection of devices, objects, posters and other souvenirs, showing the history of movies. There’s also a lift to the roof, offering incredible sights of the city and its mountainous background.
Turin street art
To see a more contemporary side of Turin’s artistic offering, take a walking Guided Street Art Tour through the city’s lively street art neighbourhoods. Turin has long been a center for street artists, with works from famous international artists dotted all around town and now several festivals celebrating the genre held here each year. Fans of street art will be impressed by the city’s many large wall paintings, including pieces by Austrian artist Nychos and Italian artist Millo.
1. What can you see in Museo Casa Mollino now?
A. A pharaob’s tomb. B. Wild animals’ tracks.
C. Ancient Egyptian elements. D. Carlo Mollino’s boat.
2. What does Museo Nazionale del Cinema mainly exhibit?
A. Film-related items.
B. Views of the city.
C. Views of the mountains.
D. Items from the Jewish temple.
3 What does the passage suggest about Turin’s cultural offerings?
A. They are limited to indoor galleries.
B They are mainly traditional and classical.
C. They focus mostly on museum collections.
D. They include energetic street art neighborhoods.

Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson arrived in New York five years ago with a passion for visual storytelling. To his surprise, the city’s libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa’s past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana. “How could our history be better kept here than at home?” he wondered. This realization became the start of his life’s work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography.
Growing up, Ninson loved family stories told by his grandparents, but photography was seen as an unwise career choice in Ghana. However, he sold his iPhone to buy a camera and taught himself the skill. His early projects, like recording a Kenyan community started by women escaping violence, strengthened his belief that Africans must own their visual history.
In 2019, Ninson joined a photography school in New York. There, he eagerly read hundreds of photobooks — a clear difference from Ghana, where such books were rare. When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library. He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits. His friend Brandon Stanton’s $1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible. With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library.
On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana’s Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea’s historic coast. The library’s two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide. Among its treasures is Ninson’s first New York purchase: The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana’s history before it gained independence in 1957. “It reminds us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” he says.
4. What inspired Ninson to create African’s own visual history?
A. Finding photobooks in secondhand stores.
B. Studying at a New York photography school.
C. Developing his family storytelling traditions.
D. Finding more African records overseas than locally.
5. Why is The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today important?
A. It contains stories from his grandparents.
B. It was donated by a photography school.
C. It shows Ghana’s history under foreign rule.
D. It was Ninson’s first photobook purchase in New York.
6. What best describes Paul Ninson’s character as highlighted in the text?
A. Ambitious and humorous.
B. Creative and sympathetic.
C. Conventional and home-centered.
D. Committed and forward-thinking.
7. What does Ninson’s story mainly inspire us to do?
A. Value teamwork in cultural projects.
B. Use technology to document history.
C. Pursue cultural goals through determined action.
D. Rely on external institutions for heritage protection.
C
Many of us wake up constantly throughout the night and a growing number are simply too addicted to our smartphones to put them down and go to bed. But what’s the worst kind of sleep for your health?
Reporting in the journal Sleep, lead author Patrick Finan, and his colleagues conducted one of the first studies comparing the two types of sleep — interrupted sleep and short sleep — in a group of 62 healthy men and women who were good sleepers. The participants spent three days and nights in a sleep lab and answered questions about their mood every evening before nodding off. A third were randomly assigned to be woken up several times a night, another third were not allowed to go to sleep until later but weren’t woken up, and the final group, which acted as the control, was allowed to sleep uninterrupted through the night.
When Finan compared the three groups’ mood ratings, he found that the interrupted and short sleepers both showed drops in positive mood after the first night. But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report declining positive feelings while the short sleepers did not — they stayed at about the same level they had reported after the first night. When he looked at the brain patterns of the two disrupted sleep groups, he found that those who woke up repeatedly showed less slow wave sleep, or the deep sleep that is normally linked to feeling restored and rested, than those getting the same amount of sleep but in a continuous session. “We saw a drop in slow wave sleep so large and sudden, and it was associated with a striking drop in positive mood that was significantly different than in the other group,” he says.
As he notes, “we should be paying attention to not just the quantity or quality of sleep, and not simply the quantity or quality of mood or emotions, but the combination of the two.”
8. What was the main purpose of the final group in the study?
A. To provide standard sleep data for comparison.
B. To test the effect of sleep length on mood changes.
C. To measure the impact of mood on sleep quality.
D. To compare different methods of sleep interruption.
9. Which situation best matches the study’s findings?
A. A student stays up all night but feels fine after sleeping.
B. A nurse with frequent night interruptions feels worse over time.
C. A programmer sleeping 4 hours undisturbed stays positive.
D. A parent wakes once but can no longer fall asleep.
10. What does the underlined term “slow wave sleep” in paragraph 3 most likely refer to?
A. Light, easily disturbed sleep. B. Refreshing deep sleep.
C. Dream-related sleep. D. dreamy pre-sleep state.
11. Which of the following is the suitable title for the text?
A. How Smartphone Use Before Bed Threatens People
B. Why Deep Sleep Matters More Than Sleep Duration
C. Why Interrupted Sleep Is Worse Than Short Sleep
D. How to Improve Sleep Quality in a Busy World
D
As a social psychologist, I have devoted my research career to a simple, but universal question: what makes for a good life, and how can we achieve it? Historically, we have been presented with two possibilities: pursuing a life of happiness, or a life of meaning. Each of these paths has its benefits, but decades of psychological research have also revealed their limits.
The current cultural conception of happiness, for example, can work against us finding fulfillment. Today many expect it to come from individual success, making negative emotions seem like personal failures. Ask the Danes and Finns, who consistently rank among the happiest people in the world, what their secret is and they’ll tell you this: lower your expectations. It sounds good, doesn’t it? But it’s a bit like being a college student who only takes easy courses to be sure of getting good grades. Might there be more to life than simple pleasures and relaxing comfort?
Then there’s the meaningful life. We often imagine that meaning flows from trying to change the world. The pressure to realise it can be taxing, and feels out of reach for most of us. Once again, the research shows that lowering our sights and focusing on the little things can offer a more achievable sense of meaning. Often people find it in routines like taking care of family, volunteering in the community. But there is also a dark side: researchers have found that it can encourage people to draw sharp lines between those with a shared identity and those without. It can come at the expense of sympathy for those unlike us.
All this led me to outline a third route to fulfillment: a psychologically rich life one filled with diverse, unusual and interesting experiences that change your viewpoint; a life with ups and downs, variety and complexity. Such experiences can kick-start the psychological immune (免疫) system, making us able to bounce back more easily. Most importantly, it is accessible to everyone. Better still, it can have meaning and happiness as its byproduct.
12. The comparison to a college student taking easy courses implies that _______.
A. academic success ensures lifelong fulfillment
B. lowering expectations guarantees happiness
C. simple pleasures are essential for mental health
D. avoiding challenges limits deeper experiences
13. What problem may arise from focusing on meaningful routines?
A. Lower personal joy.
B. Less care for other groups.
C. Too much pressure.
D. Harm to family bonds.
14. What is the key feature of psychological richness according to the text?
A. It wins social recognition.
B. It meets everyone’s needs.
C. It enhances adaptability to challenges.
D. It provides immediate happiness.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A. To introduce a new life philosophy.
B. To criticize interpretations of success.
C. To promote positive psychology.
D. To compare happiness strategies.

How to eat and drink fewer microplastics
Microplastics are everywhere. They’re in your liver, blood and even in your brain, and they’re almost impossible to avoid. ____16____. Here are four ways to reduce your exposure in what you eat and drink.
____17____
Drinking bottled water could be introducing you to thousands of microscopic pieces of plastic. In fact, bottled water is the biggest pathway to microplastic exposure. Researchers have found that an average liter of bottled water contains about 240,000 plastic particles (微粒), most of which are nanoplastics, measuring just a small part of the width of a human hair. Switching from bottled water to filtered (过滤的) tap water has the potential to reduce microplastic intake.
Avoid plastic food containers
Using plastic is often unavoidable, but there are many ways to reduce your food’s interaction with plastics, and that includes the plastic storage containers, said experts. Experts urge people to replace food that comes in plastic containers with alternatives. ____18____ Canned food is another plastic pollution pathway for humans.
Use glass in the microwave
One study found that microwaving food in plastic containers and reusable food bags could release more than 4 million microplastic and 2 billion nanoplastic particles per square centimeter in just three minutes. Heat causes microplastics to get into your food, so avoid putting hot food into plastic packaging. ____19____
Avoid highly processed foods
Highly processed foods contain significantly more microplastics than minimally processed food. ____20____ Of the products tested, breaded shrimp (虾) had the highest concentrations of plastic particles. Highly processed chicken pieces contained 30 times as many microplastics per gram as chicken breasts.
A. Choose to drink clean tap water.
B. Filter and boil your bottled water.
C. Microplastics could also be hiding in your food containers.
D. Fortunately, there are some steps to minimize your exposure.
E. That could be as simple as buying peanut butter in a glass container.
F. And make sure that it’s not stored in sunlight or other warm environments.
G. One study found microplastics in all 16 protein products that researchers sampled.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the summer of 1971, Betsy Cornwell was 18 years old and had a night job at a factory in Mass. One night, she finished work and went out to her car as usual — only to find herself stuck when her key broke off in the ignition (点火装置)
By midnight, the parking lot had emptied rapidly, leaving her trapped alone with half the key in her band and the other half stuck in the ignition.
As she sat there, wondering what to do next, she heard a tap on her window. Outside stood a man. He said, “I noticed you haven’t gone anywhere. Are you OK?” She showed him her broken car key. He pulled a screwdriver (螺丝刀) from his jeans pocket as he said, “I can help with that. I’m a car thief.”
At first, Cornwell wondered if she misheard him.
The man explained, “I can start your car for you, but old cars like yours need fixing every few miles I’d have to follow you home because if you bit a rough spot, the engine would stop and I’d have to start the car again.” Cornwell was shocked by his easy tone. It felt as strange as if he had introduced himself as a door-to-door salesman. Swallowing her fear, she insisted on going to a nearby payphone to call her father.
When her father answered, she urgently explained the situation. “Dad, this guy said he’s a car thief,” she whispered into the payphone. To her astonishment, her father replied, “Yeah, sure, sure. I know when to expect you, and it’ll be fine.”
She questioned whether her father had fully grasped the danger, but his calm repetition of “It’ll be fine” left her no choice. After banging up, Conwell and the man returned to her car. He started it faster than she could have with her key.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;

Paragraph 1:
Then, he got in his own car, and began following her home.

Paragraph 2:
The man followed her all the way to her driveway, turned off the car for her, and bid her goodnight.

Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson arrived in New York five years ago with a passion for visual storytelling. To his surprise, the city’s libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa’s past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana. “How could our history be better kept here than at home?” he wondered. This realization became the start of his life’s work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography.
Growing up, Ninson loved family stories told by his grandparents, but photography was seen as an unwise career choice in Ghana. However, he sold his iPhone to buy a camera and taught himself the skill. His early projects, like recording a Kenyan community started by women escaping violence, strengthened his belief that Africans must own their visual history.
In 2019, Ninson joined a photography school in New York. There, he eagerly read hundreds of photobooks — a clear difference from Ghana, where such books were rare. When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library. He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits. His friend Brandon Stanton’s $1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible. With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library.
On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana’s Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea’s historic coast. The library’s two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide. Among its treasures is Ninson’s first New York purchase: The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana’s history before it gained independence in 1957. “It reminds us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” he says.
4. What inspired Ninson to create African’s own visual history?
A. Finding photobooks in secondhand stores.
B. Studying at a New York photography school.
C. Developing his family storytelling traditions.
D. Finding more African records overseas than locally.
5. Why is The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today important?
A. It contains stories from his grandparents.
B. It was donated by a photography school.
C. It shows Ghana’s history under foreign rule.
D. It was Ninson’s first photobook purchase in New York.
6. What best describes Paul Ninson’s character as highlighted in the text?
A. Ambitious and humorous.
B. Creative and sympathetic.
C. Conventional and home-centered.
D. Committed and forward-thinking.
7. What does Ninson’s story mainly inspire us to do?
A. Value teamwork in cultural projects.
B. Use technology to document history.
C. Pursue cultural goals through determined action.
D. Rely on external institutions for heritage protection.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. C

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了加纳摄影记者保罗·尼森为了重拾非洲的视觉历史,在纽约收集了大量摄影书籍,并最终在加纳建立了迪坎中心图书馆的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段后三句“To his surprise, the city’s libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa’s past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana. “How could our history be better kept here than at home?” he wondered. This realization became the start of his life’s work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography. (令他惊讶的是,这座城市的图书馆和博物馆收藏了比他在加纳见过的更多的记录非洲过去和现在的照片。“为什么我们的历史在这里比在家里保存得更好?”他想知道。这一认识成为了他毕生工作的起点:在加纳建立一个图书馆,让非洲人可以通过摄影重拾他们的故事。)”可知,是尼森发现海外比本地有更多的非洲记录,这激发了他创造非洲人自己的视觉历史的灵感。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段后两句“Among its treasures is Ninson’s first New York purchase: The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana’s history before it gained independence in 1957. “It reminds us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” he says. (在它的珍宝中,有尼森在纽约的第一件藏品:《黄金海岸的昨天和今天》,这是一本20世纪40年代的摄影集,记录了加纳在1957年独立之前的历史。“它提醒我们,我们来自哪里,要去哪里,”他说。)”可知,《黄金海岸的昨天和今天》重要是因为它展示了加纳在外国统治下的历史。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段后四句“When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library. He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits. His friend Brandon Stanton’s $1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible. With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library. (当博物馆拒绝分享他们的记录时,尼森承诺要建立自己的图书馆。他搜遍了二手商店,向出版商寻求帮助,并在仓库里塞满了3万多本书,甚至用完了所有的信用卡额度。他的朋友布兰登·斯坦顿在网上筹集了120万美元,使这个梦想成为可能。有了这笔资金,尼森把这些书运到了加纳,并建立了图书馆。)”可知,尼森承诺建立自己的图书馆,并且努力实现,说明他是一个有决心的人;根据最后一段前两句“On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana’s Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea’s historic coast. The library’s two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide. (2022年12月的一个早晨,迪坎中心——在加纳的阿肯语中意为“领先”——在几内亚湾历史悠久的海岸附近的阿克拉开业。图书馆的两个馆藏展示了非洲的观点:一个关注非洲和生活在国外的非洲人,另一个展示世界各地摄影师的作品。)”可知,尼森不仅关注非洲,还关注生活在国外的非洲人,并展示世界各地摄影师的作品,说明他是一个有远见的人。由此可推知,保罗·尼森的性格可以用“有决心和有远见”来形容。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了加纳摄影记者保罗·尼森从意识到非洲的历史在国外保存得更好,到决定建立图书馆让非洲人通过摄影找回他们的故事,并且通过自己的努力,包括学习、寻找书籍、筹集资金等行动来实现这个目标。因此,他的故事主要激励我们通过坚定的行动来追求文化目标。故选C项。
C
Many of us wake up constantly throughout the night and a growing number are simply too addicted to our smartphones to put them down and go to bed. But what’s the worst kind of sleep for your health?
Reporting in the journal Sleep, lead author Patrick Finan, and his colleagues conducted one of the first studies comparing the two types of sleep — interrupted sleep and short sleep — in a group of 62 healthy men and women who were good sleepers. The participants spent three days and nights in a sleep lab and answered questions about their mood every evening before nodding off. A third were randomly assigned to be woken up several times a night, another third were not allowed to go to sleep until later but weren’t woken up, and the final group, which acted as the control, was allowed to sleep uninterrupted through the night.
When Finan compared the three groups’ mood ratings, he found that the interrupted and short sleepers both showed drops in positive mood after the first night. But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report declining positive feelings while the short sleepers did not — they stayed at about the same level they had reported after the first night. When he looked at the brain patterns of the two disrupted sleep groups, he found that those who woke up repeatedly showed less slow wave sleep, or the deep sleep that is normally linked to feeling restored and rested, than those getting the same amount of sleep but in a continuous session. “We saw a drop in slow wave sleep so large and sudden, and it was associated with a striking drop in positive mood that was significantly different than in the other group,” he says.
As he notes, “we should be paying attention to not just the quantity or quality of sleep, and not simply the quantity or quality of mood or emotions, but the combination of the two.”
8. What was the main purpose of the final group in the study?
A. To provide standard sleep data for comparison.
B. To test the effect of sleep length on mood changes.
C. To measure the impact of mood on sleep quality.
D. To compare different methods of sleep interruption.
9. Which situation best matches the study’s findings?
A. A student stays up all night but feels fine after sleeping.
B. A nurse with frequent night interruptions feels worse over time.
C. A programmer sleeping 4 hours undisturbed stays positive.
D. A parent wakes once but can no longer fall asleep.
10. What does the underlined term “slow wave sleep” in paragraph 3 most likely refer to?
A. Light, easily disturbed sleep. B. Refreshing deep sleep.
C. Dream-related sleep. D. dreamy pre-sleep state.
11. Which of the following is the suitable title for the text?
A. How Smartphone Use Before Bed Threatens People
B. Why Deep Sleep Matters More Than Sleep Duration
C. Why Interrupted Sleep Is Worse Than Short Sleep
D. How to Improve Sleep Quality in a Busy World
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了关于睡眠类型对健康影响的研究,特别是比较了中断睡眠和短睡眠这两种情况对人们情绪的影响。旨在提醒读者,在关注睡眠健康时,不仅要考虑睡眠的数量或质量,还要考虑睡眠的连续性对情绪的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“A third were randomly assigned to be woken up several times a night, another third were not allowed to go to sleep until later but weren’t woken up, and the final group, which acted as the control, was allowed to sleep uninterrupted through the night. (三分之一的人被随机分配,每晚被叫醒几次,另外三分之一的人被要求晚点睡觉,但不会被叫醒,最后一组作为对照组,被允许整夜不间断地睡觉。)”可知,研究中最后一组作为对照组,被允许整夜不间断地睡觉,其目的是为比较提供标准的睡眠数据。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report declining positive feelings while the short sleepers did not — they stayed at about the same level they had reported after the first night. (但在接下来的夜晚,睡眠被打断的人继续报告积极情绪下降,而睡眠时间短的人则没有——他们保持在第一天晚上报告的大致相同的水平。)”可知,睡眠被打断的人积极情绪下降,而睡眠时间短的人则没有,由此可推知,一个经常在夜间被打断睡眠的护士随着时间的推移会感觉更糟,符合研究结果。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词后的“or the deep sleep that is normally linked to feeling restored and rested (或者通常与感觉恢复和休息好的深度睡眠有关)”可知,划线词句通常与感觉恢复和休息好的深度睡眠有关,由此可推知,划线词组“slow wave sleep”指的是“令人神清气爽的深度睡眠”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段前两句“When Finan compared the three groups’ mood ratings, he found that the interrupted and short sleepers both showed drops in positive mood after the first night. But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report declining positive feelings while the short sleepers did not — they stayed at about the same level they had reported after the first night. (当Finan比较三组人的情绪评分时,他发现睡眠被打断和睡眠时间短的人在第一晚后都表现出积极情绪的下降。但在接下来的夜晚,睡眠被打断的人继续报告积极情绪下降,而睡眠时间短的人则没有——他们保持在第一天晚上报告的大致相同的水平。)”可知,文章主要讲述了睡眠被打断的人积极情绪下降,而睡眠时间短的人则没有,即睡眠被打断比睡眠时间短更糟糕,所以C项“Why Interrupted Sleep Is Worse Than Short Sleep (为什么睡眠被打断比睡眠时间短更糟糕)”适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
D
As a social psychologist, I have devoted my research career to a simple, but universal question: what makes for a good life, and how can we achieve it? Historically, we have been presented with two possibilities: pursuing a life of happiness, or a life of meaning. Each of these paths has its benefits, but decades of psychological research have also revealed their limits.
The current cultural conception of happiness, for example, can work against us finding fulfillment. Today many expect it to come from individual success, making negative emotions seem like personal failures. Ask the Danes and Finns, who consistently rank among the happiest people in the world, what their secret is and they’ll tell you this: lower your expectations. It sounds good, doesn’t it? But it’s a bit like being a college student who only takes easy courses to be sure of getting good grades. Might there be more to life than simple pleasures and relaxing comfort?
Then there’s the meaningful life. We often imagine that meaning flows from trying to change the world. The pressure to realise it can be taxing, and feels out of reach for most of us. Once again, the research shows that lowering our sights and focusing on the little things can offer a more achievable sense of meaning. Often people find it in routines like taking care of family, volunteering in the community. But there is also a dark side: researchers have found that it can encourage people to draw sharp lines between those with a shared identity and those without. It can come at the expense of sympathy for those unlike us.
All this led me to outline a third route to fulfillment: a psychologically rich life, one filled with diverse, unusual and interesting experiences that change your viewpoint; a life with ups and downs, variety and complexity. Such experiences can kick-start the psychological immune (免疫) system, making us able to bounce back more easily. Most importantly, it is accessible to everyone. Better still, it can have meaning and happiness as its byproduct.
12. The comparison to a college student taking easy courses implies that _______.
A. academic success ensures lifelong fulfillment
B. lowering expectations guarantees happiness
C. simple pleasures are essential for mental health
D. avoiding challenges limits deeper experiences
13. What problem may arise from focusing on meaningful routines?
A. Lower personal joy.
B. Less care for other groups.
C. Too much pressure.
D. Harm to family bonds.
14. What is the key feature of psychological richness according to the text?
A. It wins social recognition.
B. It meets everyone’s needs.
C. It enhances adaptability to challenges.
D. It provides immediate happiness.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?
A. To introduce a new life philosophy.
B. To criticize interpretations of success.
C. To promote positive psychology.
D. To compare happiness strategies.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了什么是好的生活以及如何实现它。作者提出了三种生活路径:追求幸福、追求意义和追求心理丰富性,并对每种路径的优缺点进行了分析。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“Ask the Danes and Finns, who consistently rank among the happiest people in the world, what their secret is and they’ll tell you this: lower your expectations. It sounds good, doesn’t it? But it’s a bit like being a college student who only takes easy courses to be sure of getting good grades. Might there be more to life than simple pleasures and relaxing comfort?(丹麦人和芬兰人一直是世界上最幸福的人之一,问问他们的秘诀是什么,他们会告诉你:降低你的期望。听起来不错,不是吗?但这有点像一个大学生,他只选择简单的课程,以确保取得好成绩。除了简单的快乐和放松的舒适,生活中是否还有更多的东西?)”可知,与选修简单课程的大学生的比较暗示了避免挑战会限制更深层次的体验。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Then there’s the meaningful life. We often imagine that meaning flows from trying to change the world. The pressure to realise it can be taxing, and feels out of reach for most of us.

Often people find it in routines like taking care of family, volunteering in the community. But there is also a dark side: researchers have found that it can encourage people to draw sharp lines between those with a shared identity and those without. It can come at the expense of sympathy for those unlike us.(还有一种有意义的生活。我们常认为意义源于改变世界的努力,但这种实现的压力可能令人疲惫,对多数人而言遥不可及。研究再次表明,降低期望、聚焦小事反而能带来更可触及的意义感。人们常从日常中寻得它,比如照顾家庭、社区志愿服务。但这也存在阴暗面:研究发现,这种意义感可能促使人们划清界限,区别对待与自己身份相同或不同的群体,甚至以牺牲对“异己者”的同情为代价。)”可知,专注于有意义的常规可能会导致对其他群体的关心减少。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“All this led me to outline a third route to fulfillment: a psychologically rich life, one filled with diverse, unusual and interesting experiences that change your viewpoint; a life with ups and downs, variety and complexity. Such experiences can kick-start the psychological immune (免疫) system, making us able to bounce back more easily. Most importantly, it is accessible to everyone. Better still, it can have meaning and happiness as its byproduct.(这一切让我勾勒出通往满足的第三条路径:一种心理丰盈的生活——充满多样、新奇且有趣的经历,它们不断重塑你的视角;一种有起有落、充满变化与复杂性的生活。这样的经历能激活心理免疫系统,让我们更容易恢复韧性。最重要的是,人人都可触及这种生活。更妙的是,它还能将意义与幸福作为副产品自然孕育。)”可知,心理丰富性的关键特点是它增强了应对挑战的适应能力。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“All this led me to outline a third route to fulfillment: a psychologically rich life, one filled with diverse, unusual and interesting experiences that change your viewpoint; a life with ups and downs, variety and complexity.(这一切让我勾勒出通往满足的第三条路径:一种心理丰盈的生活——充满多样、新奇且有趣的经历,它们不断重塑你的视角;一种有起有落、充满变化与复杂性的生活。)”可知,文章主要介绍了作者提出的一种新的生活哲学——心理丰富性,这种生活哲学强调多样、不寻常和有趣的经历,能够改变人们的观点,并增强心理适应能力。因此,作者的主要目的是介绍一种新的生活哲学。故选A项。

How to eat and drink fewer microplastics
Microplastics are everywhere. They’re in your liver, blood and even in your brain, and they’re almost impossible to avoid. ____16____. Here are four ways to reduce your exposure in what you eat and drink.
____17____
Drinking bottled water could be introducing you to thousands of microscopic pieces of plastic. In fact, bottled water is the biggest pathway to microplastic exposure. Researchers have found that an average liter of bottled water contains about 240,000 plastic particles (微粒), most of which are nanoplastics, measuring just a small part of the width of a human hair. Switching from bottled water to filtered (过滤的) tap water has the potential to reduce microplastic intake.
Avoid plastic food containers
Using plastic is often unavoidable, but there are many ways to reduce your food’s interaction with plastics, and that includes the plastic storage containers, said experts. Experts urge people to replace food that comes in plastic containers with alternatives. ____18____ Canned food is another plastic pollution pathway for humans.
Use glass in the microwave
One study found that microwaving food in plastic containers and reusable food bags could release more than 4 million microplastic and 2 billion nanoplastic particles per square centimeter in just three minutes. Heat causes microplastics to get into your food, so avoid putting hot food into plastic packaging. ____19____
Avoid highly processed foods
Highly processed foods contain significantly more microplastics than minimally processed food. ____20____ Of the products tested, breaded shrimp (虾) had the highest concentrations of plastic particles. Highly processed chicken pieces contained 30 times as many microplastics per gram as chicken breasts.
A. Choose to drink clean tap water.
B. Filter and boil your bottled water.
C. Microplastics could also be hiding in your food containers.
D. Fortunately, there are some steps to minimize your exposure.
E. That could be as simple as buying peanut butter in a glass container.
F. And make sure that it’s not stored in sunlight or other warm environments.
G. One study found microplastics in all 16 protein products that researchers sampled.

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the summer of 1971, Betsy Cornwell was 18 years old and had a night job at a factory in Mass. One night, she finished work and went out to her car as usual — only to find herself stuck when her key broke off in the ignition (点火装置)
By midnight, the parking lot had emptied rapidly, leaving her trapped alone with half the key in her band and the other half stuck in the ignition.
As she sat there, wondering what to do next, she heard a tap on her window. Outside stood a man. He said, “I noticed you haven’t gone anywhere. Are you OK?” She showed him her broken car key. He pulled a screwdriver (螺丝刀) from his jeans pocket as he said, “I can help with that. I’m a car thief.”
At first Cornwell wondered if she misheard him.
The man explained, “I can start your car for you, but old cars like yours need fixing every few miles I’d have to follow you home because if you bit a rough spot, the engine would stop and I’d have to start the car again.” Cornwell was shocked by his easy tone. It felt as strange as if he had introduced himself as a door-to-door salesman. Swallowing her fear, she insisted on going to a nearby payphone to call her father.
When her father answered, she urgently explained the situation. “Dad, this guy said he’s a car thief,” she whispered into the payphone. To her astonishment, her father replied, “Yeah, sure, sure. I know when to expect you, and it’ll be fine.”
She questioned whether her father had fully grasped the danger, but his calm repetition of “It’ll be fine” left her no choice. After banging up, Conwell and the man returned to her car. He started it faster than she could have with her key.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Then, he got in his own car, and began following her home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The man followed her all the way to her driveway, turned off the car for her, and bid her goodnight.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
Then, he got in his own car and began following her home. Betsy drove carefully, her heart racing as the stranger’s headlights stayed close behind. The empty roads made her feel even more uneasy. Yet, whenever she looked back, he kept a safe distance, sitting calmly. At a stoplight, he waved to assure her in a calming way, as if he knew she was scared. Slowly, her hands relaxed on the wheel. By the time they reached her street, she realized he hadn’t said anything except giving directions — no requests, no warnings. His silence felt strangely respectful, which left Betsy relieved but still a little unsure.
Paragraph 2.
The man followed her all the way to her driveway, turned off the car for her, and bid her goodnight. As the engine fell silent, Betsy hesitantly asked, “why did you help me?” He paused, his face hidden in darkness. “Not everyone gets a second chance,” he said quietly. “Tonight, I wanted to earn one.” Before she could answer, he quickly got back into his car and drove away. She watched him leave, his words staying in her mind. Years later, she’d remember that night — not the fear, but the thief’s quiet attempt to do something good. Sometimes, kindness came from the unlikeliest places, lighting the darkest roads home.
【解析】
