His approach, combining culinary delights (美味佳肴) with fascinating historical insights, has taken China’s social media by storm, attracting a wide audience and winning praise for its innovative method of storytelling. Before delving into (研究) food vlogging, Professor Zhang Liangren usually dined at the school cafeteria or restaurants near his community, rarely going beyond a five-kilometer distance from his home. However, since he started making food vlogs in the summer of 2023, he has been exploring the world extensively, dining at a variety of restaurants that were previously unknown to him. Zhang Liangren frankly admits that he is far from being a qualified “foodie”. He enjoys good food, but has not yet reached the point of searching everywhere for it. What truly led him onto the path of a food vlogger was his passion for archaeology. While watching Zhang taste the food, viewers can listen to him explaining the historical stories behind the dishes. Although the food cannot be immediately tasted, the spiritual nourishment of archaeology has satisfied the taste buds of netizens, who have exclaimed their satisfaction. Speaking of the situation at the beginning of filming,Zhang Liangren admitted, “Because I rarely did these things before, I was quite uncomfortable in front of the camera at first. My Mandarin was not very good either, so my speech and movements were very stiff. But gradually, I got used to it and overall, it’s much better than before.” As for which places he prefers to visit for check-ins, Zhang Liangren states that he prefers shops with a certain level of fame, “It must be down-to-earth, the kind of place that caters to the common people.” He mentioned that he usually chooses small stalls or shops with a long history and good reputation. Sometimes he also selects based on festivals, tasting the food while narrating the methods of preparation and the cultural significance behind the dishes. 4.

They are the swooping, swirling patterns in the fine ridges of skin on the pads of their fingers. No two people have the same fingerprints, not even identical twins. That’s why some phones can be unlocked with a user’s fingertip. And why fingerprints left at a crime scene can help identify whodunnit. Fingerprints form before birth. The patterns come from three spots on each fingertip: under the nail, at the center of the finger pad and at the crease of the first finger joint. The design of a fingerprint depends on how skin ridges spread out from these three spots and merge. A person’s fingerprints may spread out slightly over the course of their life. But the overall pattern stays the same. When someone touches an object, they may leave a stamp of their fingerprint on it. This imprint may be made of oil, dirt or other substances that were on the person’s skin. Forensic scientists have long gathered such fingerprints from crime scenes. Those prints can offer clues about who has been at the certain place. They can also tell what they did there. But fingerprints have not always helped investigators find the right culprit(罪犯). Criminals have wiped their prints off objects at crime scenes to cover their tracks. What’s more, it has been hard to tell whether fingerprints found at the crime scene were left by the criminal or someone else at another time. But new research is helping make fingerprints more reliable evidence. One team has found a way to uncover fingerprints that have been wiped down. The technique relies on the fact that chemicals in people’s fingerprints corrode metal surfaces. That corrosion can be detected even if a print is not visible. Other scientists have found a way to estimate the age of the fingerprint. They do this by looking at chemicals in fingerprints which change over time as they interact with the air. This can expose whether the fingerprint dates to the time of a crime or before or after. 8. According to the text, from which three spots do fingerprints develop on each fingertip? A. Under the nail, center of the finger pad, and the wrist. B. Under the nail, center of the finger pad, and the first finger joint crease. C. The fingertip edge, the nail base, and the palm. D. The fingertip edge, the center of the finger pad, and the wrist. 9. What does the term “forensic”mean in the context of this text? A. Related to general medical practice. B. Connected with theoretical studies. C. Involving experimental biology. D. Related to legal or criminal investigation techniques. 10. Why might fingerprints still be detected even after being wiped off a metal surface? A. Because chemicals in fingerprints cause corrosion on metal. B. Because criminals often forget to clean them thoroughly. C. Because new technology can reconstruct erased patterns. D. Because dirt and oil always remain visible under microscopes. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain why identical twins have different fingerprints. B. To argue that fingerprints are the most reliable form of identification. C. To describe how smartphones use fingerprint recognition technology. D. To discuss the challenges and advancements in using fingerprints as evidence. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了指纹的独特性、形成过程、在犯罪现场的应用以及指纹作为证据所面临的挑战和新的研究进展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The patterns come from three spots on each fingertip: under the nail, at the center of the finger pad and at the crease of the first finger joint.(这些图案来自每个指尖的三个点：指甲下、手指垫的中心和第一个指关节的褶皱处)”可知，指纹在每个指尖上从指甲下、手指垫中心和第一个指关节褶皱这三个点发展而来。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“have long gathered such fingerprints from crime scenes. Those prints can offer clues about who has been at the certain place.(长期以来一直从犯罪现场收集这样的指纹。这些指纹可以提供线索，揭示谁曾到过那个特定的地方)”可知，长期以来一直从犯罪现场收集这样的指纹的是法医科学家，由此可知，forensic意为“与法律或刑事侦查技术有关的”。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One team has found a way to uncover fingerprints that have been wiped down. The technique relies on the fact that chemicals in people’s fingerprints corrode metal surfaces. That corrosion can be detected even if a print is not visible.(一个研究小组发现了一种方法，可以揭示被擦掉的指纹。这项技术依赖于这样一个事实，即人们指纹中的化学物质会腐蚀金属表面。即使指纹不可见，也可以检测到这种腐蚀)”可知，即使从金属表面擦掉指纹后，仍然可以检测到指纹是因为指纹中的化学物质会对金属造成腐蚀。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段和第二段主要描述了指纹的独特性和形成过程，第三段描述了指纹在犯罪现场的应用以及指纹作为证据所面临的挑战，最后一段描述了指纹作为证据的研究进展，所以这篇文章的主要目的是讨论使用指纹作为证据的挑战和进展。故选D。 D Imagine waking up feeling anxious and hopeless. You think, “I’ll never be happy. Nothing I do matters.” The more you focus on these thoughts, the worse you feel. But what’s really going on? Are your thoughts causing your feelings, or is it the other way around? For centuries, people have debated the cause of emotional suffering. Is it childhood trauma (创伤)? A chemical imbalance in the brain? A lack of love and connection? Every school of psychology has its own theory, with hundreds of ideas but little conclusive proof. Over 1,700 years ago, the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus proposed a different theory. He argued that it’s not life events that upset us, but our thoughts about them. This idea became the foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT suggests that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. It’s an exciting claim — but is it true? We decided to test it using data from a new mental health app. In our first study, we analyzed data from 290 testers of the Feeling Great app. Unlike traditional studies that rely on broad, retrospective (回顾性) surveys (asking how you’ve felt over the past two weeks), our app measured users’ negative thoughts and feelings in the here and now, using new, extremely sensitive scales. This distinction is crucial. By tracking moment-to-moment changes, we could test if negative thoughts (e.g., “I’m a failure”) actually cause negative feelings or if it’s the other way around. On average, users who reduced their belief in their negative thought to zero experienced an 87% reduction in seven negative emotions during their first session. Our data strongly supports CBT’s central idea that thoughts shape emotions far more than emotions shape thoughts. To ensure that our findings were solid, we conducted a second independent study with 1,393 users of an AI-enhanced version of the app. The results? Practically identical. Interestingly, with the larger sample size, we did detect a small but statistically significant effect of emotions influencing thoughts — but the effect was barely detectable and far weaker than the impact of thoughts on feelings. This suggests that emotions can sometimes influence thoughts, but the effect is minor in comparison to the power of thoughts to shape emotions. And that’s a discovery Epictetus would have been proud of. 12. What is the central idea of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) discussed in the article? A. Changing how you think can affect how you feel. B. Life events are the main cause of our emotional struggles. C. Childhood trauma is the root cause of emotional distress. D. Emotions shape thoughts more than thoughts shape emotions. 13. What was different about the Feeling Great app study? A. It focused on physical symptoms. B. It tracked thoughts and feelings in real-time. C. It asked users to recall past emotions. D. It tracked emotions over a long period. 14. What did the second study show? A. Users’ emotions were unchanged. B. Emotions greatly affect your thinking. C. Thoughts and emotions are unrelated. D. Thoughts have a stronger effect on emotions. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for this article? A. The Power of Emotions: How They Shape Our Thoughts B. Childhood Trauma and Depression: Unveiling the Connection C. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Changing How We Think to Feel Better D. What Causes Depression: New Research Confirms Ancient Wisdom 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了认知行为疗法及其科学验证。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“CBT suggests that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. (认知行为疗法认为，如果你改变思维方式，就能改变感受方式。)”可知，认知行为疗法的核心观点是改变思维方式可以影响感受方式。故选A。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Unlike traditional studies that rely on broad, retrospective (回顾性) surveys (asking how you’ve felt over the past two weeks), our app measured users’ negative thoughts and feelings in the here and now, using new, extremely sensitive scales. (与传统的依赖于广泛、回顾性调查（询问过去两周的感受）的研究不同，我们的应用程序使用新的、极其敏感的量表来测量用户此时此地的负面想法和感受。)”可知，Feeling Great应用程序研究的不同之处在于它实时追踪了想法和感受。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This suggests that emotions can sometimes influence thoughts, but the effect is minor in comparison to the power of thoughts to shape emotions. (这表明情绪有时会影响想法，但与想法塑造情绪力量相比，这种影响微不足道。)”可知，第二项研究表明想法对情绪的影响更大。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是结合第三段中“Over 1,700 years ago, the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus proposed a different theory. He argued that it’s not life events that upset us, but our thoughts about them. This idea became the foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT suggests that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. It’s an exciting claim — but is it true? We decided to test it using data from a new mental health app. (1700多年前，希腊斯多葛学派哲学家爱比克泰德提出了一个不同的理论。他认为，让我们心烦意乱的并不是生活事件本身，而是我们对它们的看法。这一观点成为了认知行为疗法（CBT）的基础。CBT认为，如果你改变思维方式，就能改变感受方式。这是一个令人兴奋的说法——但它是真的吗？我们决定利用一款新的心理健康应用程序的数据来验证这一点。)”可知，文章介绍了新研究通过验证认知行为疗法的理论，证实了古老智慧（即思想对情绪的影响）在抑郁症成因中的重要性，D选项“What Causes Depression: New Research Confirms Ancient Wisdom (是什么导致了抑郁症：新研究证实古老智慧)”最符合文章标题。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 From quick fixes to new ways of designing our homes, we’re examining methods to keep comfortable on a warming planet. Prevent heat from gathering inside. Instead of cooling the hot air in our house, try to prevent heat from gathering in the first place, ___16___ . Open them back up at night to allow warm inside air to escape and cooler nighttime air to enter. Something else we can do to cool the house? Cook outside in the summer. ___17___ . So, if we’re cooking something that produces a lot of heat, get a little barbecue and do it outside. ___18___ . Dark rooftops are responsible for absorbing large amounts of solar energy and warming the house. So replace them with the so-called green roofs. But the downside of green roofs is their weight and they often need maintenance and upkeep. ___19___ . The simplest way to a cool roof is to paint it white. White color reflects sunlight off our house. Rethink how we build. It may be helpful if we can have a look at the ways some cultures in traditionally hot environments have adapted to cool their buildings. For example, wind towers are often used in the Middle East to get cool air into a building while pushing out warm air. In Africa, buildings are usually constructed with rooms looking into a central courtyard. ___20___ . A. Design better roofs B. Cooking is a huge source of heat C. Or cook as few dishes as possible D. A better alternative to a green roof is a cool roof E. Close the windows and lower the blinds in the daytime F. So they can protect the interior of the house from the heat outside G. The design of many of our buildings cannot cool themselves efficiently 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. A 19. D 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在全球变暖的情况下，我们可以通过一些方法来让我们的家保持舒适，如阻止热量聚集、在户外做饭、设计更好的屋顶以及重新思考房屋建造方式等。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Open them back up at night to allow warm inside air to escape and cooler nighttime air to enter(晚上再打开它们，让屋内温暖的空气逸出，让凉爽的夜间空气进入)” 可知，这里是在说窗户的开关时间。选项E“白天关闭窗户并拉下百叶窗” 与后文形成对比，白天关窗，晚上开窗，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Cook outside in the summer (夏天在室外做饭)” 以及空后的 “So, if we’re cooking something that produces a lot of heat, get a little barbecue and do it outside(所以，如果我们正在做会产生大量热量的食物，那就弄个小烧烤架在室外做)” 可知，此处是在解释为什么要在室外做饭。选项B“烹饪是热量的巨大来源” 符合语境。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Dark rooftops are responsible for absorbing large amounts of solar energy and warming the house. So replace them with the so-called green roofs(深色的屋顶会吸收大量的太阳能并使房子变暖。所以用所谓的绿色屋顶来取代它们)” 可知，这一段主要在讲屋顶的设计。选项 A“设计更好的屋顶” 能够概括这一段的主旨。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据下文“The simplest way to a cool roof is to paint it white. White color reflects sunlight off our house(打造凉爽屋顶的最简单方法是把它涂成白色。白色可以将阳光从我们的房子上反射出去)” 可知，这里在说凉爽屋顶的做法。选项D“绿色屋顶的一个更好的替代方案是凉爽的屋顶” 引出了关于凉爽屋顶的内容，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据空前的 “In Africa, buildings are usually constructed with rooms looking into a central courtyard(在非洲，建筑物通常建造得房间朝向中央庭院)” 可知，这里在说非洲建筑的设计特点。由此推知，空处可能陈述这种设计的好处。选项F“这样它们就可以保护房子内部免受外面的热量侵袭” 解释了这种设计的作用，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I vividly remember the nightmare (噩梦).

Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate. One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape. As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect. But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team. 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。 Moments later some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. After quickly assessing the situation, they approached the fox cautiously, bent down and talked softly to calm the frightened animal. Then the fox’s paw was carefully released from the trap. No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief. Sarah, watching the rescue unfold before her eyes, realized this was far more precious than any photograph she could have taken. Right then, Sarah decided to join the rescue team as a volunteer. Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. Profoundly moved by the fox incident, she committed herself to combining her passion for photography with her newfound mission. Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need. Her photos evolved to tell deeper stories — carrying both beauty and conservation. Little did she know that her decision to help that fox would transform her photography and her entire perspective on the relationship between humans and nature. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了野生动物摄影爱好者Sarah在追逐摄影梦想的过程中，偶然发现一只被困猎夹的狐狸，面临艺术追求与生命救助的抉择。她最终放弃拍摄机会选择救助动物，并由此转变人生方向，将摄影与动物保护结合，用镜头传递更深层的生态关怀。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不一会儿，一些救援人员带着设备和药品赶到了。”以及第二段首句内容“成为救援团队的志愿者后，Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想。”可知，第一段可描写救援人员的及时相助救下了狐狸。而Sarah也决定加入救援团队，成为一名志愿者。 ②由第二段首句内容“成为救援团队的志愿者后，Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想。”可知，第二段可描写Sarah决定将摄影和救援小动物相结合。 2.续写线索：不久后，救援人员带着设备和药品赶到了——救援人员小心翼翼靠近狐狸，安抚着小动物——他们将狐狸从陷阱中救出来——Sarah看着这一切，决定加入救援团队，成为一名志愿者——加入救援团队后，Sarah从未忘记自己的梦想——狐狸的事情让她深有感触——她决定将自己对摄影的热爱和救援小动物结合起来——此后，她的摄影风格发生了改变，她对人与自然的关系也有了新的看法 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach/ come close to ②决定：decide/ make a decision to/determine ③致力于：commit oneself to/ devote oneself to 情绪类 ①害怕的：frightened/ terrified ②缓和：relief/ easement 【点睛】【高分句型1】No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief.（运用了no sooner…than…引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need.（运用了whenever引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 平罗中学 2024-2025学年度第二学期高三年级第四次模拟考试 英语试卷 满分：150分 考试时长：120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Professor Zhang Liangren from the School of History at Nanjing University has found a unique and engaging way to impact historical and archaeological knowledge to the public through food vlogs. His approach combining culinary delights (美味佳肴) with fascinating historical insights, has taken China’s social media by storm, attracting a wide audience and winning praise for its innovative method of storytelling. Before delving into (研究) food vlogging, Professor Zhang Liangren usually dined at the school cafeteria or restaurants near his community, rarely going beyond a five-kilometer distance from his home. However, since he started making food vlogs in the summer of 2023, he has been exploring the world extensively, dining at a variety of restaurants that were previously unknown to him. Zhang Liangren frankly admits that he is far from being a qualified “foodie”. He enjoys good food, but has not yet reached the point of searching everywhere for it. What truly led him onto the path of a food vlogger was his passion for archaeology. While watching Zhang taste the food, viewers can listen to him explaining the historical stories behind the dishes. Although the food cannot be immediately tasted, the spiritual nourishment of archaeology has satisfied the taste buds of netizens, who have exclaimed their satisfaction. Speaking of the situation at the beginning of filming,Zhang Liangren admitted, “Because I rarely did these things before, I was quite uncomfortable in front of the camera at first. My Mandarin was not very good either, so my speech and movements were very stiff. But gradually, I got used to it and overall, it’s much better than before.” As for which places he prefers to visit for check-ins, Zhang Liangren states that he prefers shops with a certain level of fame, “It must be down-to-earth, the kind of place that caters to the common people.” He mentioned that he usually chooses small stalls or shops with a long history and good reputation. Sometimes he also selects based on festivals, tasting the food while narrating the methods of preparation and the cultural significance behind the dishes. 4. What is most Chinese audiences’ attitude to Professor Zhang’s food vlogs? A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Unconcerned. D. Hopeful. 5. Why does Professor Zhang become a food vlogger? A. He is popular among the netizens. B. He intends to share various food. C He is fascinated with archaeology. D. He considers himself a qualified foodie. 6. What kind of shops will Professor Zhang choose for his vlogs? A. Time-honored brand stores. B. Reputable chain stores. C. Shops full of influencers. D. Unknown small stalls or shops. 7. Which of the following can best describe Professor Zhang? A. Passionate and humble. B. Sympathic and generous. C. Innovative and devoted. D. Knowledgeable and gifted. C Nearly everyone in the world has a unique ID right at their fingertips. These are their fingerprints. They are the swooping, swirling patterns in the fine ridges of skin on the pads of their fingers. No two people have the same fingerprints, not even identical twins. That’s why some phones can be unlocked with a user’s fingertip. And why fingerprints left at a crime scene can help identify whodunnit. Fingerprints form before birth. The patterns come from three spots on each fingertip: under the nail, at the center of the finger pad and at the crease of the first finger joint. The design of a fingerprint depends on how skin ridges spread out from these three spots and merge. A person’s fingerprints may spread out slightly over the course of their life. But the overall pattern stays the same. When someone touches an object, they may leave a stamp of their fingerprint on it. This imprint may be made of oil, dirt or other substances that were on the person’s skin. Forensic scientists have long gathered such fingerprints from crime scenes. Those prints can offer clues about who has been at the certain place. They can also tell what they did there. But fingerprints have not always helped investigators find the right culprit(罪犯). Criminals have wiped their prints off objects at crime scenes to cover their tracks. What’s more, it has been hard to tell whether fingerprints found at the crime scene were left by the criminal or someone else at another time. But new research is helping make fingerprints more reliable evidence. One team has found a way to uncover fingerprints that have been wiped down. The technique relies on the fact that chemicals in people’s fingerprints corrode metal surfaces. That corrosion can be detected even if a print is not visible. Other scientists have found a way to estimate the age of the fingerprint. They do this by looking at chemicals in fingerprints which change over time as they interact with the air. This can expose whether the fingerprint dates to the time of a crime or before or after. 8. According to the text, from which three spots do fingerprints develop on each fingertip? A. Under the nail, center of the finger pad, and the wrist. B. Under the nail, center of the finger pad, and the first finger joint crease. C. The fingertip edge, the nail base, and the palm. D. The fingertip edge, the center of the finger pad, and the wrist. 9. What does the term “forensic”mean in the context of this text? A. Related to general medical practice. B. Connected with theoretical studies. C. Involving experimental biology. D. Related to legal or criminal investigation techniques. 10. Why might fingerprints still be detected even after being wiped off a metal surface? A. Because chemicals in fingerprints cause corrosion on metal. B. Because criminals often forget to clean them thoroughly. C. Because new technology can reconstruct erased patterns. D. Because dirt and oil always remain visible under microscopes. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain why identical twins have different fingerprints. B. To argue that fingerprints are the most reliable form of identification. C. To describe how smartphones use fingerprint recognition technology. D. To discuss the challenges and advancements in using fingerprints as evidence. D Imagine waking up feeling anxious and hopeless. You think, “I’ll never be happy. Nothing I do matters.” The more you focus on these thoughts, the worse you feel. But what’s really going on? Are your thoughts causing your feelings, or is it the other way around? For centuries, people have debated the cause of emotional suffering. Is it childhood trauma (创伤)? A chemical imbalance in the brain? A lack of love and connection? Every school of psychology has its own theory, with hundreds of ideas but little conclusive proof. Over 1,700 years ago, the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus proposed a different theory. He argued that it’s not life events that upset us, but our thoughts about them. This idea became the foundation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT suggests that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel. It’s an exciting claim — but is it true? We decided to test it using data from a new mental health app. In our first study, we analyzed data from 290 testers of the Feeling Great app. Unlike traditional studies that rely on broad, retrospective (回顾性) surveys (asking how you’ve felt over the past two weeks), our app measured users’ negative thoughts and feelings in the here and now, using new, extremely sensitive scales. This distinction is crucial. By tracking moment-to-moment changes, we could test if negative thoughts (e.g., “I’m a failure”) actually cause negative feelings or if it’s the other way around. On average, users who reduced their belief in their negative thought to zero experienced an 87% reduction in seven negative emotions during their first session. Our data strongly supports CBT’s central idea that thoughts shape emotions far more than emotions shape thoughts. To ensure that our findings were solid, we conducted a second independent study with 1,393 users of an AI-enhanced version of the app. The results? Practically identical. Interestingly, with the larger sample size, we did detect a small but statistically significant effect of emotions influencing thoughts — but the effect was barely detectable and far weaker than the impact of thoughts on feelings. This suggests that emotions can sometimes influence thoughts, but the effect is minor in comparison to the power of thoughts to shape emotions. And that’s a discovery Epictetus would have been proud of. 12. What is the central idea of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) discussed in the article? A. Changing how you think can affect how you feel. B. Life events are the main cause of our emotional struggles. C. Childhood trauma is the root cause of emotional distress. D. Emotions shape thoughts more than thoughts shape emotions. 13. What was different about the Feeling Great app study? A. It focused on physical symptoms. B. It tracked thoughts and feelings in real-time. C. It asked users to recall past emotions. D. It tracked emotions over a long period. 14. What did the second study show? A Users’ emotions were unchanged. B. Emotions greatly affect your thinking. C. Thoughts and emotions are unrelated. D. Thoughts have a stronger effect on emotions. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for this article? A. The Power of Emotions: How They Shape Our Thoughts B. Childhood Trauma and Depression: Unveiling the Connection C. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Changing How We Think to Feel Better D.

Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate. One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape. As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect. But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team. 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。 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
