With every passing year, Mia’s fear of snakes seemed to get worse. Recently, she had started to avoid playing in the park because sometimes there were small garden snakes. Jess was Mia’s best friend and she was worried about Mia. If her fears kept getting worse, how long would it be before she was afraid to even leave her own house? One day, Jess invited Mia to her house to play a new video game. As Mia stepped into Jess’s room, she froze (僵住). “What’s that?” Over Jess’s shoulder, she could see a snake in a glass tank! Mia shouted, running out of the house. “Tiger is always in the tank, Mia. She can’t get out,” Jess said. “Come on—I know how badly you want to play the new game. It’s just a few steps to get to my computer.” As Mia breathed in the fresh air, she slowly calmed down. She wanted to play the game. Maybe if she avoided looking at the tank, she could control her emotions (控制情绪). Mia decided to be brave. “I’ll try.” Then the girls re-entered the house. The next day after school, the girls played until it was time for Mia to return home. “Good night, Jess,” she said, before turning her attention for the first time towards the snake. Mia couldn’t believe that she had been in Tiger’s presence for so long. The girls played the video game and studied together every weekend that month. Mia was still worried about the snake, but not that much. One day, when they had finished playing, Jess said, “Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you!” When Mia opened her eyes, there before her was Tiger, around Jess’s arm. “Look!” Jess smiled, “She’s very gentle.” Mia studied Tiger nervously. Jess watched Mia carefully and saw how she gradually became less rigid (僵硬的). Jess said, “When you started to avoid the park, I realized that I had to do something. So I searched for the smallest, most harmless snake that I could bring home.” As Jess placed Tiger back in her tank Mia felt no fear but proud of herself and her friend. 24. What do we know about Mia? A. She lives near a park. B. She is afraid of snakes. C. She wants to leave her house. D. She loves wild animals. 25. Why did Jess raise a pet snake? A. To solve Mia’s problem. B. To give it to her friend. C. To develop a new hobby. D. To learn about its living habits. 26. What made Mia finally control her fear? A. The fresh air and beauty of nature. B. Keeping away from terrible things. C. Her friend’s help and her own bravery. D. Knowing that everyone has his own fears. 27. Which of the following words can best describe Jess? A. Caring. B. Humorous. C. Confident. D. Popular. C In winter, just a few degrees’ difference can turn a boring rainy day into a magical world of snow. The interest in snow is more than just happy memories of childhood days away from school. Of course, snow has its haters, but there are some powerful scientific reasons why many people love snow so much. For people who grew up having fun on snow days, snow can bring back childhood memories—that joyful surprise when another expected day of sitting in school turned into one that was instead filled with snowball fights and lovely snowmen. But there are also plenty of reasons snow seems magical to people who don’t have those happy memories. Snow can make the world quieter than usual because freshly fallen snow is porous (多孔的) and can take in sound well. And it plays even more strongly on our sense of sight. “There’s something about the clean, fresh, white snow that is very pleasing to the eye,” says psychologist Kari Leibowitz. She also points out snow reflects (反射) light in the darker months. “A lot of people have a hard time with winter darkness just as much as they do with the cold,” she says. “And so the brightening effect of the snow, I think, is really powerful.” Snow often allows people to interact with their environment differently as well. “I think the snow and the ice give us things to interact with in a sensory way that can be very playful and childlike,” Leibowitz says. “There’s so much you can do with it as related to the sense of touch.” Whether school is canceled (取消) or not, snow changes people’s daily lives. Snow may keep you from going places and doing things, which can be inconvenient and troublesome, but can also be enchanting, feeling like a welcome break from the usual. This unexpected break offers an uncommon chance for people to enjoy those moments that are often unnoticed in everyday, busy life. Leibowitz suggests developing a mindset that welcomes changing seasons, which can help people stay open to snow’s beauty. She encourages people to slow down on the long nights and cold days. “Snow can remind us to do so because when we see the snow, we know that a different season has arrived, which inspires (激励) people to make changes to accept it,” she says. 28. What do Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly talk about? A. Snow makes people’s life harder. B. Snow allows people to get time off work. C. Snow gives people a special physical experience. D. Snow is meaningless for people with unhappy childhoods. 29. What does the word “enchanting” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Endless. B. Magical. C. Strange. D. Noticeable. 30. What does the writer most probably agree with? A. Snow causes a lot of car accidents in winter. B. Snow’s arrival means the beginning of darkness. C. People should live their lives the way they want to. D. People should be open to the changing of the seasons. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Does Snow Bring Childlike Joy? B. How Can We Understand Winter Days? C. The Wonderful Power of Slowing Down D. There Are More Snow Lovers Than Haters 六、阅读表达（共10分，每小题2分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Over the New Year, I received a new down jacket, perfect for cold winters. But within two weeks, a stain appeared on my jacket Water didn’t cut it, nor the detergent (洗涤剂). So I searched for the ways to clean it. Finally, I removed the stain. Then I thought, “If I don’t know how to wash down products, others probably don’t know either!” Here’s what I learned: In fact, “down” is the very fine soft feathers (羽毛) of a bird. Even though down and water don’t always seem like a good match, it’s natural for down to get wet. Think about a duck swimming in water. Not only are down products easy to wash, but they should be washed at least once or twice a year. So how to wash your down coat? Here are some useful tips. Check the care label. Most down products have a care label. Some labels have written washing instructions (说明), and others use symbols. For example, a small tub means machine wash, and the dots inside the tub show the water temperature. Not all down products are machine washable, so be sure to check. Remove spots (污点) at once. For most washable down jackets, you can use cold water. Use a little dish soap. Then, rinse (冲洗) clean with a wet cloth so it doesn’t leave a ring. Carefully prepare to wash. Before washing, check and clear your pockets in order to make sure there’s nothing left. You can even turn your jacket inside out to make sure that it doesn’t catch on anything. Set your washer for a gentle cycle with warm water. There are detergents specially designed for down, but they may not be necessary. Dry low and slow. After washing, dry your down products in a dryer. Set it to low temperature or air dry. Every so often, take the product out, shake it, and put it back in the dryer. This will help the down stay fluffy (松软的). 32. What is “down”? ____________________________ 33. According to the passage, how often should we wash down products? ____________________________ 34. On a care label, what do the dots inside the tub show? ____________________________ 35. Before washing, why should we turn the jacket inside out? ____________________________ 36.

Although being kind and helpful is generally a good thing, going too far to please others often backfires. Let’s consider the case of Jennifer. She would nod along to all her husband’s ideas, always wanting to avoid disagreements. Over time, this pattern (模式) leads to Jennifer feeling unheard and unimportant. This behavior pattern is often caused by a fear of being refused or left alone, leading people to put others first at the cost of their own well-being. However, it stores up emotional pain in relationships, because continuous people-pleasing doesn’t allow for real communication or expressing personal needs, which are important for healthy relationships. To truly understand people-pleasing. we need an evolutionary (进化的) view. Early humans often depended on group acceptance. Being a part of a group meant protection, getting food and mates. Though modern life is safer, this ancient need still influences our behavior today. Bowen Family Systems Theory further shows our early relationships with caregivers shape our expectations and behaviors in future relationships. In Jennifer’s case, her parents praised (表扬) her for always putting her brother and sister first and avoiding arguments—calling it “sharing” and “being kind”, so Jennifer learned early on that pleasing others was the way to get love and praise. This behavior pattern continued into her marriage. Examining how people-pleasers think also helps explain why they act this way. They often “read minds”, believing they know what others want or need without really asking. They may also imagine terrible outcomes if they don’t meet others’ expectations. So, how can we break the cycle of people-pleasing? The key lies in becoming more emotionally independent and staying true to yourself in interactions with others. Here are a few steps to start with: 1. Realize the pattern: Awareness (意识) is the first step toward change. Record your people-pleasing behavior and how it’s influencing your relationships and personal well-being. 2. Set boundaries (边界): Learn to say “no” and clearly, respectfully voice your opinions. It’s not about refusing others, but about making space for your own needs. With practice, you may be surprised to find that most people respect your boundaries. 3. Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself is not selfish; it’s necessary for your well-being. Find hobbies or activities that bring you joy, and set aside time for relaxation. Breaking the cycle of people-pleasing is a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. While the path may be difficult, it brings about positive changes—improved emotional well-being, closer relationships, and a stronger self-awareness. 46. What can we learn about people-pleasers from the passage? A. It’s usually difficult for them to get group acceptance. B. Their behavior pattern may come from family interactions. C. They value expressing their needs over avoiding arguments. D. They can’t explain why they’ re good at reading others’ minds. 47. Which of the following does the writer most probably agree with? A. Practicing self-care means putting yourself before others’ well-being. B. People-pleasers should be given more praise for making others happy. C. Emotional independence may make it hard to build closer relationships. D. Being true to yourself helps you better consider your own and others’ needs. 结合文章，回答问题。 Every time Amy and her friends plan a trip, her friends decide the place—even though she wants to go somewhere else.
