As part of the celebrations, a group called America 250 is holding a special contest for students from grades 3 to 12 in the US. The contest is called “America’s Field Trip”. Entry (参赛作品) To enter, students simply need to creatively answer the question: What does America mean to you? Students can create a written response, such as an essay. But an artwork is also accepted and encouraged. The contest is meant to encourage students to consider what America really means to them. Winners will get a chance to learn more about American history and to make friends with students from around the country. Levels The contest is judged at three different levels: Elementary School (3 — 5), Middle School (6 — 8), and High School (9 — 12). America 250 says it has already gotten entries from each of the 50 states. Prizes “First Prize” winners at each level will win a special three-day trip to one of America’s most famous landmarks, such as Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park, or Independence Hall in Philadelphia. There are 14 different “field trips” in all, including more recent American history, such as a trip to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame or to see Hamilton in New York City. The trips will include behind-the-scenes tours and chances to see things that most people never get to see. 1. What type of entries is accepted for the contest? A. A travel note. B. An advertisement. C. A news report or a photo. D. An essay or an artwork. 2. What will “First Prize” winners at each level of the contest get? A. A tour of American well-known landmarks. B.

(各年级组的‘一等奖’获得者将赢得一次为期三天的特别旅行，前往美国最著名的地标之一，例如拉什莫尔山、黄石国家公园、费城独立会堂)”可知，一等奖的奖励是美国著名地标之旅。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“As part of the celebrations, a group called America 250 is holding a special contest for students from grades 3 to 12 in the US. (作为庆祝活动的一部分，一个名为America 250的组织正在为美国3至12年级的学生举办一场特别竞赛)”可知，文章围绕America 250组织的特别竞赛展开，从竞赛名称、参赛方式、分组评奖规则、奖项设置等多个角度详细提供了竞赛信息，由此推断作者是为了向读者推介这个竞赛。故选C项。 B Matt may have found his calling related to birds. He used to make puppets and is now a farming officer in Yorkshire, England. Matt drew a lot of attention over the weekend when he went into nature dressed as a giant bird. It wasn’t just any bird, but a 10-foot-long costume of the Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬), a large wading bird in Europe known for its long, thin beak and decreasing population. Over the weekend, Matt walked 53 miles (about 85 kilometers) along the Nidderdale Way to raise awareness about the curlew’s decline. Matt affectionately called the costume “Cathy the Curlew”. It was made out of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) and bamboo. This unique challenge began on April 19, which is before World Curlew Day on April 21, which was created in 2017 to inform people about habitat loss, land-use changes, and climate change affecting the curlew. For Matt, this was as much an art project as it was a conservation effort. The journey took about two days. He started at Pateley Bridge on Saturday and finished at Brimham Rocks on Sunday. Along the way, news coverage and Matt’s talks with people he met helped spread the message to protect the curlew. The area where Matt hiked was once a main habitat for the curlews, but their population has significantly declined over the years. In 2015, the bird was added to the UK Red List for birds, indicating the highest conservation concern. “I’m really worried about the curlew,” Matt said. “Every nest, chick, and egg matters. We need around 10,000 more curlews each year to reach a sustainable (可持续) population,” he added. “Curlews need to successfully raise one chick (雏鸟) every two years, but they usually don’t manage that from the four eggs they lay each year. One chick every two years is what we need to have a sustainable population, but we are far from that goal.” 4. Why did Matt choose to dress as a Eurasian curlew? A. To warn the public of the species’ decline. B. To promote puppet-making skills. C. To get people to know about curlews. D. To celebrate World Curlew Day. 5. How did Matt’s hike contribute to raising people’s awareness of curlews? A. By calling on volunteers to hike with him. B. By selling curlew costumes. C. Through activities held by news media. D. Through media reports and communication. 6. What can be inferred about the area where Matt hiked? A. Few curlews live there now. B. There used to be a large curlew population. C. The habitat there is completely destroyed. D. It experienced a massive increase in curlews. 7. What do Matt’s words in the last paragraph mean? A. The curlew population is sustainable. B. The curlew population increases slowly. C. Curlews should lay more eggs each year. D. Curlews are important for the ecosystem. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述Matt扮成白腰杓鹬徒步，以提高人们对其数量减少的关注。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Over the weekend, Matt walked 53 miles (about 85 kilometers) along the Nidderdale Way to raise awareness about the curlew’s decline.(上周末，Matt沿着尼德代尔步道走了53英里（约85公里），以提高人们对杓鹬数量减少的认识)”可知，Matt选择扮成白腰杓鹬是为了提醒公众该物种数量在减少。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Along the way, news coverage and Matt’s talks with people he met helped spread the message to protect the curlew.(一路上，新闻报道以及Matt与他遇到的人的交谈帮助传播了保护杓鹬的信息)”可知，Matt的徒步通过媒体报道和与人交流来提高人们对杓鹬的关注度。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The area where Matt hiked was once a main habitat for the curlews, but their population has significantly declined over the years.(Matt徒步的地区曾经是杓鹬的主要栖息地，但多年来它们的数量大幅减少)”可知，该地区曾经有大量的杓鹬。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Curlews need to successfully raise one chick (雏鸟) every two years, but they usually don’t manage that from the four eggs they lay each year. One chick every two years is what we need to have a sustainable population, but we are far from that goal.(杓鹬需要每两年成功养育一只雏鸟，但它们每年产四个蛋，通常也无法做到这一点。每两年一只雏鸟是我们拥有可持续种群所需要的，但我们离这个目标还很远)”可知，Matt的话意味着杓鹬的数量增长缓慢。故选B项。 C Britain was once covered with rainforests, known as Celtic rainforests or Atlantic woodland. The temperate (温带的) rainforests only occur in places close to the sea with high rainfall, high humidity (湿度) and low variations in temperature and full of plants and animals. The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. By the start of the 20th century, Britain had become the least-wooded country in Europe, with only small parts remaining in western coastal rainforest areas. There’s a new rainforest coming back to Britain right now. A movement is underway across Britain to recover these forgotten ecosystems. And in Devon, the first step towards achieving that has just been completed. With the help of over 100 local volunteers, more than 2,500 native trees have been planted at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Bowden Pillars site, not far from the town of Totnes. It’s hoped that another 4,500 oak, rowan, alder, hazel, birch, willow and holly trees will be planted by the end of this winter and over the coming decades, and that they’ll grow to form a thriving (欣欣向荣的) temperate rainforest. The recovery programme, led by The Wildlife Trusts, is happening across other parts of the country, including Cornwall and Pembrokeshire and has been boosted by a significant £38 million of funding from an insurance company. Claire Inglis, a nature reserve officer at Devon Wildlife Trust, said, “The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. The mix of young trees planted among grasslands and hedges (树篱), along with our promise not to use chemicals, will be better for local butterflies and bees, along with local birds such as yellowhammers and barn owls. It will be fascinating to see how it develops.” 8. What was mainly responsible for Britain’s lost Celtic rainforest in the past? A. Low temperature. B. Animal farming. C. Plant variation. D. High humidity. 9. What can we say about the movement across Britain? A. It’s worrying. B. It’s promising. C. It’s unrealistic. D. It’s uncontrollable. 10. What does the underlined word “swifter” in the last paragraph mean? A. Further. B. More unlikely. C. Quicker. D. More costly. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A Story of Destruction About Britain’s Lost Rainforests B. The Challenges of Reviving Celtic Rainforests in Britain C. A Nationwide Effort to Revive Lost Rainforests in Britain D. The Truth of the Disappearance of Britain’s Celtic Rainforests 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了英国曾经覆盖着被称为凯尔特雨林或大西洋林地的热带雨林，后来因放牧被砍伐，如今英国正开展一项全国性的运动来恢复这些被遗忘的生态系统，并介绍了该运动的进展、资金支持及带来的好处等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. (但几个世纪以来，这些古老的林地后来被清理并变成了放牧牛羊的草地)”可知，英国凯尔特雨林消失的主要原因是畜牧业的发展。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A movement is underway across Britain to recover these forgotten ecosystems. (一场恢复这些被遗忘的生态系统的运动正在英国各地展开)”以及后文提到的植树计划和资金支持，可以看出这一运动充满希望。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. (成熟的温带雨林需要几十年的时间才能形成，但是对自然的好处会更swifter)”，由but可知，前后形成转折，前面说需要的时间长，后面应表示好处来得快，所以“swifter”意为“更快的”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. (凯尔特雨林曾一度遍布英国西部较为湿润的地区。但在过去的几个世纪里，这些古老的林地逐渐被砍伐清理，转而变成了用于放牧牛羊的牧场)”以及结合全文内容可知，文章开篇提到英国凯尔特雨林的消失，随后重点介绍了当前全国范围内恢复雨林的努力，包括植树计划、资金支持以及预期的生态效益，因此，最佳标题应涵盖“恢复雨林”这一核心内容。故选C项。 D If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. Many people use their phones before and after bedtime, especially young adults and teens. Still, you might want to stop soon. Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep, although the exact reasons are not completely clear. In a new study, researchers looked into this issue by using data from a large survey of 45, 202 university students in Norway. They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night. “Sleep problems are very common among students and have serious effects on mental health, school performance, and overall well-being,” says Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, a clinical psychologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “Because so many people use screens in bed, we wanted to see how different screen activities affect sleep. We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive (互动的) and can motivate (激发) emotions.” However, the study found that using social media is no worse for sleep than other screen activities. The type of screen activity doesn’t matter as much as the total time spent using screens in bed. The researchers found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities. This suggests that using screens in general is the main cause of sleep problems, likely because it takes up time that could be used for resting. “If you have trouble sleeping and think screen time might be a cause, try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep,” says Hjetland. “If you use screens, consider turning off notifications (通知) to reduce disruptions during the night.” 12. How does the author begin the argument? A. By listing different opinions. B. By referring to scientific data. C. By mentioning a common act. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 13. Why did researchers initially guess social media could affect sleep more? A. It included emotional inspiration. B. It contained violent content. C. It was entirely used by students. D. It required frequent physical interaction. 14. Which is the practical advice Hjetland provides? A. Reading e-books instead of social media. B. Avoiding using screen for a while before bed. C. Increasing daytime physical activity. D. Stopping using screens after supper. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Screen Time in Bed May Increase Sleeplessness B. Good Sleep Is Key to Students’ Performance C. Social Media Has the Worst Effect on Mental Health D Reading on Phones Is Common Among Teens and Young Adults 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了睡前使用电子设备对睡眠的影响，并通过一项大规模调查数据说明床上使用屏幕与失眠风险增加及睡眠时间减少的关联，最后给出实用建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段首句“If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. (如果你正在床上用手机阅读本文，你并不孤单。)”可知，作者通过描述一种普遍行为（睡前使用手机）引入话题。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland的观点“We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive and can motivate emotions. (我们认为社交媒体可能对睡眠更不利，因为它是互动的，可能激发情绪。)”可知，研究人员最初猜测社交媒体影响更大是因为其包含情感激发（emotional inspiration）。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Hjetland的建议“try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep (减少床上使用屏幕的时间，睡前至少30-60分钟停止使用)”可知，实用建议是睡前一段时间避免使用屏幕。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“床上使用屏幕”与“睡眠问题”的关联展开，重点说明屏幕使用时间（而非活动类型）是导致失眠的主因，尤其是第一段的“Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep (睡前或在床上使用屏幕被认为会扰乱睡眠)”以及第二段的“They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night. (他们发现，在床上使用屏幕会使失眠的几率增加59%，并且会导致每晚睡眠时间减少24分钟。)”可知，A项“床上使用屏幕可能增加失眠”最贴合主题，适合作标题。故选A项。 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。 Music and health: what you need to know Can music be good for you?

I even started writing personal stories online for clients (委托人). At first, everything seemed to go well. However, over time, I began to feel uneasy about my clients and the work. In the third month, I didn’t receive my payment on time, which made me anxious. I sent an email to the client to ask what happened. But I got no reply. I sent more emails, but still no answer. Finally, I got his email, saying that my story wasn’t what he had expected. Time and time again, my already low confidence was completely destroyed. I started avoiding friends, stopped answering calls, and locked myself in my room, feeling anxious and helpless. One night my phone rang. It was my high school friend Lydia. I answered the call, and hearing her warm voice made me feel better. After a brief chat, I told her all my troubles. Lydia listened quietly. After a moment, she said, “You are very good at writing. Why not try something more meaningful? You like writing, so why not try writing for magazines? There are many opportunities out there.” “Writing for magazines? I’m not sure,” I replied. “I don’t know how to write that kind of article, and I don’t know what they want.” “You can research it yourself,” she encouraged me. “In high school, you always found ways to solve problems. Now, you are facing a problem. Why not try to find a way out for yourself? You can take the first step.” “You’re right,” I said. “I will give it a try.” After the call, I started researching magazines online. I learned about the topics they usually covered and the types of articles that were popular. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, a thought flashed through my mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finally finished the article on my own experience, I was excited to send it out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Then, a thought flashed through my mind. What if I write about my own struggles as a college writer? Many students might relate to self-doubt and rejection. With trembling fingers, I searched “student writing magazines” and discovered New Voices Quarterly, a publication dedicated to authentic youth stories. Their latest theme was “Overcoming Creative Blocks” — perfect for my story. That night, I outlined an article blending my client disasters with hard-won lessons, tentatively titled “From Rejection to Redemption: A Writer’s Journey”. I included practical tips I wished I’d known earlier, like how to vet clients and set clear expectations. When I finally finished the article on my own experience, I was excited to send it out. Two weeks later, the editor gave a surprising reply: “Your raw honesty is exactly what our readers need. Would you consider expanding this into a monthly column?” That acceptance letter became my turning point. Readers’ messages poured in — some shared similar struggles, others thanked me for the hope. I realized that meaningful writing wasn’t about pleasing clients, but connecting with real people. My dorm walls no longer felt like a hopeless prison. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的写作经历为线索展开，讲述了大一那年，热爱写作的作者在网上接单代笔，却被客户拖欠酬劳并否定作品，陷入自我怀疑。好友Lydia建议作者为杂志投稿。受此启发，作者将自身挫折写成文章投给一家杂志，意外获得刊登并受邀开设专栏。读者们的共鸣让作者明白：真诚写作才能打动人心，作者终于重拾写作的快乐与自信。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，一个想法闪过我的脑海”和第二段首句中的“这篇关于我自己经历的文章”可知，第一段可描写作者萌生将自身受挫经历写成文章的想法，搜索到一家聚焦青年故事的杂志，于是着手写下经历。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我终于写完这篇关于我自己经历的文章时，我很兴奋地把它发出去”可知，第二段可描写杂志给出回复，非常欣赏作者的文章，作者还收到产生共鸣的读者的来信，与真实的人建立了联系，重拾写作的快乐与自信。 2. 续写线索：想法闪过脑海——搜索特定杂志——将自身经历写进文章——投稿——文章录用——重拾写作的快乐与自信 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：discover/find ②克服：overcome/conquer/surmount ③考虑：consider/think about/give thought to ④意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①令人惊讶的：surprising/astonishing/amazing ②无望的：hopeless/despairing 【点睛】[高分句型1] Your raw honesty is exactly what our readers need.

He used to make puppets and is now a farming officer in Yorkshire, England. Matt drew a lot of attention over the weekend when he went into nature dressed as a giant bird. It wasn’t just any bird, but a 10-foot-long costume of the Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬), a large wading bird in Europe known for its long, thin beak and decreasing population. Over the weekend, Matt walked 53 miles (about 85 kilometers) along the Nidderdale Way to raise awareness about the curlew’s decline. Matt affectionately called the costume “Cathy the Curlew”. It was made out of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) and bamboo. This unique challenge began on April 19, which is before World Curlew Day on April 21, which was created in 2017 to inform people about habitat loss, land-use changes, and climate change affecting the curlew. For Matt, this was as much an art project as it was a conservation effort. The journey took about two days. He started at Pateley Bridge on Saturday and finished at Brimham Rocks on Sunday. Along the way, news coverage and Matt’s talks with people he met helped spread the message to protect the curlew. The area where Matt hiked was once a main habitat for the curlews, but their population has significantly declined over the years. In 2015, the bird was added to the UK Red List for birds, indicating the highest conservation concern. “I’m really worried about the curlew,” Matt said. “Every nest, chick, and egg matters. We need around 10,000 more curlews each year to reach a sustainable (可持续的) population,” he added. “Curlews need to successfully raise one chick (雏鸟) every two years, but they usually don’t manage that from the four eggs they lay each year. One chick every two years is what we need to have a sustainable population, but we are far from that goal.” 4. Why did Matt choose to dress as a Eurasian curlew? A. To warn the public of the species’ decline. B. To promote puppet-making skills. C. To get people to know about curlews. D. To celebrate World Curlew Day. 5. How did Matt’s hike contribute to raising people’s awareness of curlews? A. By calling on volunteers to hike with him. B. By selling curlew costumes. C. Through activities held by news media. D. Through media reports and communication. 6. What can be inferred about the area where Matt hiked? A. Few curlews live there now. B. There used to be a large curlew population. C. The habitat there is completely destroyed. D. It experienced a massive increase in curlews. 7. What do Matt’s words in the last paragraph mean? A. The curlew population is sustainable. B. The curlew population increases slowly. C. Curlews should lay more eggs each year. D. Curlews are important for the ecosystem. C Britain was once covered with rainforests, known as Celtic rainforests or Atlantic woodland. The temperate (温带的) rainforests only occur in places close to the sea with high rainfall, high humidity (湿度) and low variations in temperature and full of plants and animals. The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. By the start of the 20th century, Britain had become the least-wooded country in Europe, with only small parts remaining in western coastal rainforest areas. There’s a new rainforest coming back to Britain right now. A movement is underway across Britain to recover these forgotten ecosystems. And in Devon, the first step towards achieving that has just been completed. With the help of over 100 local volunteers, more than 2,500 native trees have been planted at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Bowden Pillars site, not far from the town of Totnes. It’s hoped that another 4,500 oak, rowan, alder, hazel, birch, willow and holly trees will be planted by the end of this winter and over the coming decades, and that they’ll grow to form a thriving (欣欣向荣的) temperate rainforest. The recovery programme, led by The Wildlife Trusts, is happening across other parts of the country, including Cornwall and Pembrokeshire and has been boosted by a significant £38 million of funding from an insurance company. Claire Inglis, a nature reserve officer at Devon Wildlife Trust, said, “The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. The mix of young trees planted among grasslands and hedges (树篱), along with our promise not to use chemicals, will be better for local butterflies and bees, along with local birds such as yellowhammers and barn owls. It will be fascinating to see how it develops.” 8. What was mainly responsible for Britain’s lost Celtic rainforest in the past? A. Low temperature. B. Animal farming. C. Plant variation. D. High humidity. 9. What can we say about the movement across Britain? A. It’s worrying. B. It’s promising. C. It’s unrealistic. D. It’s uncontrollable. 10. What does the underlined word “swifter” in the last paragraph mean? A. Further. B. More unlikely. C. Quicker. D. More costly. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. A Story of Destruction About Britain’s Lost Rainforests B. The Challenges of Reviving Celtic Rainforests in Britain C. A Nationwide Effort to Revive Lost Rainforests in Britain D. The Truth of the Disappearance of Britain’s Celtic Rainforests D If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. Many people use their phones before and after bedtime, especially young adults and teens. Still, you might want to stop soon. Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep, although the exact reasons are not completely clear. In a new study, researchers looked into this issue by using data from a large survey of 45, 202 university students in Norway. They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night. “Sleep problems are very common among students and have serious effects on mental health, school performance, and overall well-being,” says Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, a clinical psychologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “Because so many people use screens in bed, we wanted to see how different screen activities affect sleep. We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive (互动的) and can motivate (激发) emotions.” However, the study found that using social media is no worse for sleep than other screen activities. The type of screen activity doesn’t matter as much as the total time spent using screens in bed. The researchers found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities. This suggests that using screens in general is the main cause of sleep problems, likely because it takes up time that could be used for resting. “If you have trouble sleeping and think screen time might be a cause, try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep,” says Hjetland. “If you use screens, consider turning off notifications (通知) to reduce disruptions during the night.” 12. How does the author begin the argument? A. By listing different opinions. B. By referring to scientific data. C. By mentioning a common act. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 13. Why did researchers initially guess social media could affect sleep more? A. It included emotional inspiration. B. It contained violent content. C. It was entirely used by students. D. It required frequent physical interaction. 14. Which is the practical advice Hjetland provides? A. Reading e-books instead of social media. B. Avoiding using screen for a while before bed. C. Increasing daytime physical activity. D. Stopping using screens after supper. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Screen Time in Bed May Increase Sleeplessness B. Good Sleep Is Key to Students’ Performance C. Social Media Has the Worst Effect on Mental Health D. Reading on Phones Is Common Among Teens and Young Adults 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。 Music and health: what you need to know Can music be good for you?

I even started writing personal stories online for clients (委托人). At first, everything seemed to go well. However, over time, I began to feel uneasy about my clients and the work. In the third month, I didn’t receive my payment on time, which made me anxious. I sent an email to the client to ask what happened. But I got no reply. I sent more emails, but still no answer. Finally, I got his email, saying that my story wasn’t what he had expected. Time and time again, my already low confidence was completely destroyed. I started avoiding friends, stopped answering calls, and locked myself in my room, feeling anxious and helpless. One night, my phone rang. It was my high school friend Lydia. I answered the call, and hearing her warm voice made me feel better. After a brief chat, I told her all my troubles. Lydia listened quietly. After a moment, she said, “You are very good at writing. Why not try something more meaningful? You like writing, so why not try writing for magazines? There are many opportunities out there.” “Writing for magazines? I’m not sure,” I replied. “I don’t know how to write that kind of article, and I don’t know what they want.” “You can research it yourself,” she encouraged me. “In high school, you always found ways to solve problems. Now, you are facing a problem. Why not try to find a way out for yourself? You can take the first step.” “You’re right,” I said. “I will give it a try.” After the call, I started researching magazines online. I learned about the topics they usually covered and the types of articles that were popular. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, a thought flashed through my mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finally finished the article on my own experience, I was excited to send it out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
