He often watches kung fu movies in his free time. Winning a big prize in a kung fu competition is his biggest dream. One day at school, the teacher asked Ben to take part in a Chinese kung fu competition. He was excited but also worried about it. After school, he went to visit his grandpa. Grandpa gave Ben a present. It was a golden trophy that Grandpa won in a kung fu competition when he was at school. Ben thanked Grandpa, and with the golden trophy, he felt sure of himself. The day finally arrived. The competition hall was full of people. Ben’s grandpa and friends were there, waving flags and cheering for him. To bring himself some good luck, he put the golden trophy on a chair. The competition began. He felt strong and confident and did so well that he got into the last round (回合). Just as the last round was about to begin, he turned to look at the chair and found the trophy was missing. Ben looked around nervously. The match began, but Ben couldn’t pay full attention to it. Then he heard his grandpa shouting, “Come on, Ben! You can do it!” Ben took a deep breath and said to himself “I can do this, even without the trophy!” Feeling strong again, he looked at his opponent (对手) straight in the eye and kicked his leg high. At last, Ben won the match. Grandpa and Ben’s friends cheered loudly. Finally, Ben found the trophy under the chair. It was there all the time. He won his own trophy this time. With a smile on his face, he realised that confidence and effort (努力) never let you down. 24. What made Ben feel sure after visiting his grandpa? A. His teammates’ words. B. His friends’ encouragement. C. His opponent’s mistakes. D. His grandpa’s golden trophy. 25. How did Ben feel when he couldn’t see the trophy? A. Worried. B. Excited. C. Angry. D. Satisfied. 26. What did Ben realise at the end of the story? A. Trophies help you calm down. B. Families provide lucky things. C Belief and hard work pay off. D. Winning competitions isn’t easy. C With the development of science and technology, scientists have created a new tool (工具) that can turn people’s thoughts into words. It works by using an AI system to translate brain activity into words. The scientists say the system could help people who can’t speak because of a brain problem. A team of scientists at the University of Texas came up with the new way. The tool they created has two main parts. The first is a scanner (扫描设备) that allowed the scientists to record brain activity. The second is an AI system that the scientists trained to turn information of brain activity into words. To record brain activity without surgery (手术), the scientists used a big machine called an fMRI machine. The fMRI machine uses strong magnetic fields (磁场) and radio waves to create pictures showing which parts of the brain are active. The fMRI machine can record the activity of the brain as it happens. Scientists tested the AI system on three human volunteers. Each person spent sixteen hours in an fMRI machine listening to stories. The volunteers imagined the stories as they heard them, and the fMRI machine recorded their brain activity. Then the AI learned to connect volunteers’ brain activity with the words they heard. This helped the scientists understand what the volunteers were thinking. The scientists also tested their new system when the volunteers imagined their own stories. The AI could still guess some words correctly, though not as well as before. Finally, the scientists showed the volunteers silent movies, with no spoken words at all. The system could understand the basic ideas. The scientists say that this is the first AI program to turn what people are thinking into words without brain surgery. The system isn’t something that can be easily used today, mainly because of the size and cost of fMRI machines. However, this progress brings hope for future improvements in helpful technology. 27. What does the scanner do? A. It records people’s brain activity. B. It helps people with brain surgery. C. It turns the brain activity into words. D. It collects different sounds from people. 28. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3? A. How the fMRI machine works. B. What the fMRI machine looks like. C. Why the fMRI machine is important. D. How the fMRI machine will develop. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. The fMRI machine shows what the brain looks like. B. The fMRI machine is used without harming the brain. C. The AI stopped working when people imagined stories. D. The new technology is popular now because of low cost. D If a stranger asks for using your phone, would you help? What if a person wants to borrow thirty yuan for a meal, saying he will return and pay you back later? Some of you may choose to trust them and offer your help. There are two main ideas to explain why some people trust others more easily. One idea says that trust is a lasting quality (特性) which has a relationship with early life experiences. A child who always sees parents keeping promises often trusts others easily. The other idea shows how a person keeps checking their social environment affects (影响) trust. For example, we can easily understand that if someone asks you, “Do you think we can trust most people in the society?” your answer might depend on whether you were stolen yesterday or if someone gave back your lost wallet. However, a new study shows that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social habit—it could be part of our DNA. This is important because the study also found that people who trust others may live longer and healthier lives than those who often question others. This is what recent research explored. Professor Edgerton’s team studied about 34,000 people and discovered a gene called PLPP4 that connects to trust. They discovered PLPP4 explains 6% of trust differences between people with similar life experiences. Genes work like biological rules and this gene changes how our brain acts around strangers. Scientists believe PLPP4 may work by changing our brain’s danger warning system. Usually, meeting strangers wakes up this system automatically (自动地), making us ready to run away or fight. But PLPP4 seems to take the sting out of this alarm, making us feel calmer around new people. This biological difference helps explain why some people naturally trust more easily than others. This genetic effect could benefit health. When our brain’s alarm system stays calm, we experience less stress. Since long—term stress harms the heart, this natural trust through PLPP4 might reduce (减少) the risks of heart disease. Understanding how genes shape trust could help build healthier communities worldwide. 30. What might affect people’s trust according to the two main ideas? A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities. C. Life experiences. D. Communication skills 31. The words “take the sting out of this alarm” in Paragraph 5 probably mean “________” A. turn off the safety system B. get out of the difficult situation C. increase the level of danger D. reduce the feeling of being afraid 32. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. people with the PLPP4 gene are more likely to help strangers B. similar life experiences play an important role in shaping trust C. the PLPP4 gene influences trust more than social environment D. less active danger warning system makes it harder to trust others 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To compare different opinions on how trust is formed. B. To show the advantages of trusting others in daily life. C. To explain why some people find it hard to trust strangers. D. To present a new study on how genes affect trust and health. 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（第34—36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题 In recent years, our country has been actively increasing public health awareness (意识). While following the healthy eating pyramid to have healthy food is important, we must also pay close attention to mental health. Students’ Mental Health Day is on May 25th. This date, pronounced “wu er wu” in Chinese, sounds similar to “love yourself” in Chinese. Research shows that 1 in 5 teenagers worldwide experience mental health problems. In China, nearly 30% of middle school students feel stressed regularly. For teenagers today, there are several common mental health problems. Firstly, study stress is a big problem. Many students feel nervous before exams. Secondly, online apps have good and bad sides. Spending too much time online often leads to feelings of anxiety (焦虑). Thirdly, family relationships are also important because good family relationships can give teenagers love and support. If there isn’t enough communication in the family, teenagers will feel stressed. To solve these problems, we can take several steps. First, schools can offer more mental health education courses. These classes can teach students how to manage stress and build resilience (韧性，抗逆力). Second, parents should communicate more with their children. It’s good for creating a supportive home environment. Third, teenagers themselves should develop healthy habits, such as regular exercise and less screen time. A study found that 30 minutes of daily exercise can reduce anxiety levels by 20%. In conclusion, health includes both a good diet and a healthy mind. By taking care of our mental well-being, we can lead happier and more colourful lives. Remember, loving ourselves is the first step to a healthier future. 34. When is Students’ Mental Health Day? __________________________________________ 35.
