One day, Brian and his grandfather decided to spend a weekend with an old friend, Marcus, who was a very famous chess player. When they arrived, Brian went into a large room and found a lovely chess set. However, he felt that the whole set looked quite boring because the pieces were too ___13___ and the board was just black and white.

The next morning, when Marcus discovered that his pieces had been ___15___ in a thousand colors, instead of being pleased, he was very angry. He had a very important match to play.

She had grown up learning: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” Every favor or act of kindness done to her then had to be paid for either in cash or in kind. Once when I helped her with her gardening and forgot to tell her when I was done, she followed me to my house to pay me. My parents grew up not wanting to take charity either, but they still often helped others. Mom would make food to share and give away vegetables from our garden, while dad would often do chores for someone in need. When they did so, I always saw a special sparkle (神采) in their eyes and joy in their smiles. It wasn’t about keeping score. It was about the simple pleasure of helping others and the deep sense of fulfillment (满足) that came from it. Then one night, our home caught fire and burned to the ground. We all survived, but we lost everything we owned. The next morning, as the sun rose, we stood in the remains of our home, feeling completely lost. But help soon arrived. Neighbors brought us food and clothes, found us a place to stay temporarily (暂时地), and helped us build a new house. There was no way we could ever repay their kindness and love. Yet, I saw that no one expected us to. In the faces of each person who helped us were those same sparkling eyes and joyful smiles. In those difficult days, I realized that the community’s kindness and love weren’t about keeping score. It was about the joy of giving. They didn’t expect anything in return. They gave because they could, because they wanted to, and because it made them happy. Their actions showed the power of unconditional love and the strength of a community that supports one another. You see, when it comes to love, we are given more love than we can ever repay. And the truth is, the more love you share, the more love you have. The more you give. the more you receive. The true reward isn’t in the keeping of score, but in the sharing of love. 24. What did the writer’s mom do to help others? A. She usually made food to share. B. She did chores for people in need. C. She bought vegetables for neighbors. D. She helped neighbors with gardening. 25. How did the writer’s neighbors support his family? A. By washing clothes for them. B. By saving them from the fire. C. By helping them build a new house. D. By inviting them to live in their home. 26. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. People cannot live without love and kindness. B. “Score keepers” lead a life full of love and kindness. C. Love and kindness aren’t about paying and repaying. D. Communities should offer unconditional love and kindness. C Walking is one of the simplest ways to stay fit, but taking a few steps backward could unlock even greater benefits. The practice isn’t new—records suggest that backward walking has been part of traditional exercise in China for centuries. Athletes and coaches later used it to improve sports performance. Now, researchers are uncovering just how powerful this small change in movement can be. Unlike forward walking, which primarily uses the ankles, walking backward changes the workload to the hips and knees. This small change in movement activates different muscle (肌肉) groups, offering benefits for strength and mobility. Walking backward changes the mechanical load on the body and challenges the brain with a novel task. Janet Dufek, a professor at the University of Nevada, found that backward walking increases low back flexibility (灵活性), reduces low back pain, and improves balance—key reasons why it’s often used in physical treatment. Moreover, backward walking burns 40% more calories per minute than forward walking. A 2014 study found that women between the ages of 20 and 40 who followed a six-week backward walking program lost body fat and improved their overall fitness. What’s more, walking backward is also a workout for the brain. A 2019 study found that people who walked backward for 10 to 15 minutes three to four times a week showed greater improvements of spatial (空间的) awareness than those who walked forward. Doing activities that require more focus and attention can also help improve your brain’s ability to plan and make decisions. Studies have even connected the practice with faster reaction times and improved short-term memory. However, not everyone is fully convinced (信服) about the benefits of backward walking. “The proof of the effectiveness for backward walking training mostly comes from physical treatment, where very small studies show that this type of training may help people with knee problems when added to a regular (规律的) physical treatment program,” says Jonathan Jarry, a researcher in McGill University. “For the rest of us, we are left with an exercise that is unlikely to be better than regular workouts, and that comes with the added danger of tripping over ourselves.” Still, safety is key for those willing to try it. Just be careful that your walking space is safe, so you will not trip. You can always use a walking partner to be your “eye” when you cannot see. 27. What are the benefits of backward walking? ①speeding up reaction time ②activating different muscle groups ③enabling people to burn fat and keep fit ④helping people improve long-term memory A. ①③④ B. ①②③ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 28. What does Jonathan Jarry think of backward walking? A. It isn’t a workout that is fit for everyone. B. It is a workout that can be done anywhere. C. It isn’t effective in treating knee problems. D. It has a much higher physical requirement. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. A walking partner can help you understand backward walking better. B. Backward walking is a good brain workout because it requires focus. C. Ancient Chinese people hardly walked backward as a regular workout. D. Backward walking is used in physical treatment because it is easy to do. D An interesting finding has been discovered from psychological research: Introverts may manage the challenges of aging better. While extroverts have long been celebrated for their social butterfly abilities, it turns out that the introvert’s natural inclinations (倾向) may serve as a built-in buffer against some of aging’s most common challenges. The very qualities of introverts—preference for quieter environments, comfort with being alone, and deeper but fewer social connections—appear to match well with the natural development of the social world as they grow older. The key lies in what is known as “positive disengagement”. Laura Carstensen. the founding director of Stanford’s Center of Longevity, suggests that as people grow older, they naturally become more selective (有选择的) about their social interactions. preferring quality over quantity (数量). The change that extroverts may feel uncomfortable with often comes more naturally to introverts. Another interesting work by Helene Fung at the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that introverts experience less worry about the social changes accompanying aging. While extroverts may have trouble with the decreased energy for socializing. introverts often find that such changes match with pre-existing (已存在的) preferences. Robert McCrae’s research at the National Institute on Aging supports this “introvert advantage”. His team’s findings show that introverts may deal with the big questions of aging better because they naturally think deeply about life. While extroverts might look for outside activities that can pull their attention away from aging-related worries, introverts’ natural inclinations to turn inward often result in better adjustment (调整) and acceptance of life’s changes. The most convincing research comes from Klaus Rothermund, who studies how people manage emotions as they age. His work shows that introverts often develop better coping skills earlier in life. Such skills as the ability to think deeply about themselves and the ability to form one-on-one connections become increasingly valuable as they grow older. It’s as if introverts have been unknowingly practicing for their elder years all along. The meanings of the findings go beyond just research interest. Understanding how different personality types deal with change becomes increasingly important as people age. For extroverts reading this, don’t feel disappointed—awareness is half the job done, and many coping skills that come naturally to introverts can be learned and trained. And for introverts? You might want to add this to your list of quiet victories. Your personality may have prepared you for a more beautiful journey into your later years. Sometimes, it seems that the tortoise doesn’t just win the race. It may also enjoy the journey more. 30. What does the word “buffer” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Weakness. B. Warning. C. Monitor. D. Protector. 31. Which behavior probably matches Carstensen’s findings? A. Refusing to choose friends according to personality. B. Spending less time alone to make time for social activities. C. Staying away from relationships that are not worthwhile. D. Joining in group discussions instead of thinking independently. 32. What can we learn about introverts and extroverts as they age? A. Introverts need to find ways to stop worrying about their age. B Extroverts can learn from introverts about ways to slow aging down. C. Extroverts have the ability to deal with personal problems earlier in life. D. Introverts’ qualities better suit the natural changes of the social world. 33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Introverts: A More Popular Personality B. Introverts: Practice to Fight Against Aging C. Introverts: Feel Better When Getting Older D. Introverts: Social Advantages Over Extroverts 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（34-36题，每题2分；37题4分。共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Are you tired of feeling anxious (焦虑的) when faced with challenging situations or high-pressure tasks? Do you wish you could perform at your best, even in the most stressful environments? If you practice how to remain calm under pressure, you can manage stress better and perform better in work and life. The Yerkes-Dodson curve explains the relationship between stress and performance. The big idea of it is that people perform better at medium levels of stress. It highlights the importance of stress management techniques (技巧) and finds ways to control and manage stress levels to avoid negative effects on performance. Imagine stress on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is low and 10 is high. If stress is in the mid-range, say 5, 6, or 7, you can perform better. That means when you feel your stress is too low, you need to turn it up. And when your stress is too high, you need to turn it down. How can you lower your level of stress if it’s too high? Practicing mindfulness is a technique that can help lower your level of stress and build your awareness, enabling you to react more effectively to stressors. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment. You can become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. This increased awareness allows you to choose suitable techniques to manage stress. For example, if you notice your mind starting to race or become fixed on negative thoughts, you can change your focus and calm your mind. Also, if you notice discomfort in your body, you can use physical techniques such as deep breathing or stretching to calm your body down. If your level of stress is too low, you can learn how to raise it to perform better. You can try techniques such as goal setting and positive self-talk. For example, if you want to improve your running performance, set a goal to run a certain distance or time within a specific (特定的) period. When preparing for the running event, use positive self-talk such as “I have trained hard for this, and I can achieve my goal.” By practicing these techniques and focusing on what you can control, you can unlock your full potential (潜能) and perform at your best, even in the most challenging situations. 34. What is the big idea of the Yerkes-Dodson curve? __________________________________________________ 35. What are the benefits of practicing mindfulness? __________________________________________________ 36. According to the passage, how can you raise your level of stress if it is too low? __________________________________________________ 37. From 1-10, what stress level do you often experience? Please explain what you can do to lower, keep or raise your level. __________________________________________________ 五、文段表达（10分） 38.从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 题目① 38. 假设你是李华，你想邀请英国交换生Jim一起参加你们班将要组织的一次主题为“青春不散场”的毕业纪念活动。请你写一封邮件，告知他活动举办的时间和地点，以及当天的活动内容。 提示词语：friendship, wish, memorable, celebrate, lasting 内容提示：●When and where will the activity be held? ●What are you going to do on that day?

She had grown up learning: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” Every favor or act of kindness done to her then had to be paid for either in cash or in kind. Once when I helped her with her gardening and forgot to tell her when I was done, she followed me to my house to pay me. My parents grew up not wanting to take charity either, but they still often helped others. Mom would make food to share and give away vegetables from our garden, while dad would often do chores for someone in need. When they did so, I always saw a special sparkle (神采) in their eyes and joy in their smiles. It wasn’t about keeping score. It was about the simple pleasure of helping others and the deep sense of fulfillment (满足) that came from it. Then one night, our home caught fire and burned to the ground. We all survived, but we lost everything we owned. The next morning, as the sun rose, we stood in the remains of our home, feeling completely lost. But help soon arrived. Neighbors brought us food and clothes, found us a place to stay temporarily (暂时地), and helped us build a new house. There was no way we could ever repay their kindness and love. Yet, I saw that no one expected us to. In the faces of each person who helped us were those same sparkling eyes and joyful smiles. In those difficult days, I realized that the community’s kindness and love weren’t about keeping score. It was about the joy of giving. They didn’t expect anything in return. They gave because they could, because they wanted to, and because it made them happy. Their actions showed the power of unconditional love and the strength of a community that supports one another. You see, when it comes to love, we are given more love than we can ever repay. And the truth is, the more love you share, the more love you have. The more you give. the more you receive. The true reward isn’t in the keeping of score, but in the sharing of love. 24. What did the writer’s mom do to help others? A She usually made food to share. B. She did chores for people in need. C. She bought vegetables for neighbors. D. She helped neighbors with gardening. 25. How did the writer’s neighbors support his family? A. By washing clothes for them. B. By saving them from the fire. C. By helping them build a new house. D. By inviting them to live in their home. 26. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. People cannot live without love and kindness. B. “Score keepers” lead a life full of love and kindness. C. Love and kindness aren’t about paying and repaying. D. Communities should offer unconditional love and kindness. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26.

The practice isn’t new—records suggest that backward walking has been part of traditional exercise in China for centuries. Athletes and coaches later used it to improve sports performance. Now, researchers are uncovering just how powerful this small change in movement can be. Unlike forward walking, which primarily uses the ankles, walking backward changes the workload to the hips and knees. This small change in movement activates different muscle (肌肉) groups, offering benefits for strength and mobility. Walking backward changes the mechanical load on the body and challenges the brain with a novel task. Janet Dufek, a professor at the University of Nevada, found that backward walking increases low back flexibility (灵活性), reduces low back pain, and improves balance—key reasons why it’s often used in physical treatment. Moreover, backward walking burns 40% more calories per minute than forward walking. A 2014 study found that women between the ages of 20 and 40 who followed a six-week backward walking program lost body fat and improved their overall fitness. What’s more, walking backward is also a workout for the brain. A 2019 study found that people who walked backward for 10 to 15 minutes three to four times a week showed greater improvements of spatial (空间的) awareness than those who walked forward. Doing activities that require more focus and attention can also help improve your brain’s ability to plan and make decisions. Studies have even connected the practice with faster reaction times and improved short-term memory. However, not everyone is fully convinced (信服) about the benefits of backward walking. “The proof of the effectiveness for backward walking training mostly comes from physical treatment, where very small studies show that this type of training may help people with knee problems when added to a regular (规律的) physical treatment program,” says Jonathan Jarry, a researcher in McGill University. “For the rest of us, we are left with an exercise that is unlikely to be better than regular workouts, and that comes with the added danger of tripping over ourselves.” Still, safety is key for those willing to try it. Just be careful that your walking space is safe, so you will not trip. You can always use a walking partner to be your “eye” when you cannot see. 27. What are the benefits of backward walking? ①speeding up reaction time ②activating different muscle groups ③enabling people to burn fat and keep fit ④helping people improve long-term memory A. ①③④ B. ①②③ C. ①②④ D. ②③④ 28. What does Jonathan Jarry think of backward walking? A. It isn’t a workout that is fit for everyone. B. It is a workout that can be done anywhere. C. It isn’t effective in treating knee problems. D. It has a much higher physical requirement. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. A walking partner can help you understand backward walking better. B. Backward walking is a good brain workout because it requires focus. C. Ancient Chinese people hardly walked backward as a regular workout. D. Backward walking is used in physical treatment because it is easy to do. 【答案】27. B 28. A 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了倒着走的好处。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This small change in movement activates different muscle (肌肉) groups, offering benefits for strength and mobility.”、“Studies have even connected the practice with faster reaction times and improved short-term memory.”和“backward walking burns 40% more calories per minute than forward walking. A 2014 study found that women between the ages of 20 and 40 who followed a six-week backward walking program lost body fat and improved their overall fitness.”可知，倒着走的好处包括增加反应速度、激活不同的肌肉群和使得人们燃烧脂肪并保持健康。故选B。 【28题详解】 观点态度题。根据“... says Jonathan Jarry, a researcher in McGill University. ‘For the rest of us, we are left with an exercise that is unlikely to be better than regular workouts, and that comes with the added danger of tripping over ourselves.’ ”可知，这一运动并不适合每个人。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A 2019 study found that people who walked backward for 10 to 15 minutes three to four times a week showed greater improvements of spatial (空间的) awareness than those who walked forward. Doing activities that require more focus and attention can also help improve your brain’s ability to plan and make decisions.”可知，倒着走是一项很好的脑锻炼，因为它需要集中注意力。故选B。 D An interesting finding has been discovered from psychological research: Introverts may manage the challenges of aging better. While extroverts have long been celebrated for their social butterfly abilities, it turns out that the introvert’s natural inclinations (倾向) may serve as a built-in buffer against some of aging’s most common challenges. The very qualities of introverts—preference for quieter environments, comfort with being alone, and deeper but fewer social connections—appear to match well with the natural development of the social world as they grow older. The key lies in what is known as “positive disengagement”. Laura Carstensen. the founding director of Stanford’s Center of Longevity, suggests that as people grow older, they naturally become more selective (有选择的) about their social interactions. preferring quality over quantity (数量). The change that extroverts may feel uncomfortable with often comes more naturally to introverts. Another interesting work by Helene Fung at the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that introverts experience less worry about the social changes accompanying aging. While extroverts may have trouble with the decreased energy for socializing. introverts often find that such changes match with pre-existing (已存在的) preferences. Robert McCrae’s research at the National Institute on Aging supports this “introvert advantage”. His team’s findings show that introverts may deal with the big questions of aging better because they naturally think deeply about life. While extroverts might look for outside activities that can pull their attention away from aging-related worries, introverts’ natural inclinations to turn inward often result in better adjustment (调整) and acceptance of life’s changes. The most convincing research comes from Klaus Rothermund, who studies how people manage emotions as they age. His work shows that introverts often develop better coping skills earlier in life. Such skills as the ability to think deeply about themselves and the ability to form one-on-one connections become increasingly valuable as they grow older. It’s as if introverts have been unknowingly practicing for their elder years all along. The meanings of the findings go beyond just research interest. Understanding how different personality types deal with change becomes increasingly important as people age. For extroverts reading this, don’t feel disappointed—awareness is half the job done, and many coping skills that come naturally to introverts can be learned and trained. And for introverts? You might want to add this to your list of quiet victories. Your personality may have prepared you for a more beautiful journey into your later years. Sometimes, it seems that the tortoise doesn’t just win the race. It may also enjoy the journey more. 30. What does the word “buffer” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Weakness. B. Warning. C. Monitor. D. Protector. 31. Which behavior probably matches Carstensen’s findings? A. Refusing to choose friends according to personality. B. Spending less time alone to make time for social activities. C. Staying away from relationships that are not worthwhile. D. Joining in group discussions instead of thinking independently. 32. What can we learn about introverts and extroverts as they age? A. Introverts need to find ways to stop worrying about their age. B. Extroverts can learn from introverts about ways to slow aging down. C. Extroverts have the ability to deal with personal problems earlier in life. D. Introverts’ qualities better suit the natural changes of the social world. 33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Introverts: A More Popular Personality B. Introverts: Practice to Fight Against Aging C. Introverts: Feel Better When Getting Older D. Introverts: Social Advantages Over Extroverts 【答案】30. D 31. C 32. D 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项心理学研究发现：内向者可能比外向者更能从容应对老龄化的挑战，因为他们的性格特质（如偏好安静环境、享受独处、建立深度社交关系等）更契合伴随年龄增长的自然社会变化，这种“内向者优势”体现在情绪调节、社交选择和生活适应等方面。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Introverts may manage the challenges of aging better... the introvert’s natural inclinations may serve as a built-in buffer against some of aging’s most common challenges”可知，内向者的天性能够帮助他们应对衰老带来的挑战，“buffer”在此处表示对挑战的“缓冲”或“保护”作用，与“Protector（保护者）”含义最接近。故选D。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Laura Carstensen... suggests that as people grow older, they naturally become more selective about their social interactions, preferring quality over quantity”可知，Carstensen认为老年人会更倾向于选择高质量社交关系，而非数量。“远离无价值的人际关系”体现了 “重质量、轻数量”的选择性社交，符合其研究结论。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The very qualities of introverts—preference for quieter environments, comfort with being alone, and deeper but fewer social connections—appear to match well with the natural development of the social world as they grow older”可知，内向者偏好安静环境、享受独处、注重深度社交等特质，与衰老过程中社交世界的自然变化（如社交选择性增强）高度契合。故选D。 【33题详解】 最佳标题题。通读文章可知，全文围绕多项研究展开，核心论点是内向者的特质（如深度思考、选择性社交、擅长独处）使其更能适应衰老带来的社交变化和心理挑战，从而在老年阶段表现出更好的心理调整能力。C选项 “内向的人：年龄越大感觉越好”最为适合。故选C。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（34-36题，每题2分；37题4分。共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Are you tired of feeling anxious (焦虑的) when faced with challenging situations or high-pressure tasks? Do you wish you could perform at your best, even in the most stressful environments? If you practice how to remain calm under pressure, you can manage stress better and perform better in work and life. The Yerkes-Dodson curve explains the relationship between stress and performance. The big idea of it is that people perform better at medium levels of stress. It highlights the importance of stress management techniques (技巧) and finds ways to control and manage stress levels to avoid negative effects on performance. Imagine stress on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is low and 10 is high. If stress is in the mid-range, say 5, 6, or 7, you can perform better. That means when you feel your stress is too low, you need to turn it up. And when your stress is too high, you need to turn it down. How can you lower your level of stress if it’s too high? Practicing mindfulness is a technique that can help lower your level of stress and build your awareness, enabling you to react more effectively to stressors. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment. You can become more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. This increased awareness allows you to choose suitable techniques to manage stress. For example, if you notice your mind starting to race or become fixed on negative thoughts, you can change your focus and calm your mind. Also, if you notice discomfort in your body, you can use physical techniques such as deep breathing or stretching to calm your body down. If your level of stress is too low, you can learn how to raise it to perform better. You can try techniques such as goal setting and positive self-talk. For example, if you want to improve your running performance, set a goal to run a certain distance or time within a specific (特定的) period. When preparing for the running event, use positive self-talk such as “I have trained hard for this, and I can achieve my goal.” By practicing these techniques and focusing on what you can control, you can unlock your full potential (潜能) and perform at your best, even in the most challenging situations. 34.
