一、七选五阅读
(2025·湖北武汉模拟)Loneliness is a bigger health threat than smoking 15 cigarettes a day,according to a new study.Our ancestors likely did not suffer from a lack of companions.Why has loneliness become such a threat?How might it be addressed?
In the distant past,there were few complaints about loneliness.Indeed,every person in a community including children was up to speed on every detail of the lives of everyone else.Instead of suffering from loneliness,our distant ancestors were oppressed(被压迫) by a lack of privacy.1. They facilitate distance.How did loneliness take over contemporary life?
Typically,people move away from family and friends for work opportunities.Yet,cities often function as gatherings of relative strangers rather than functional communities.The many people wandering around in a city are irrelevant if we have no social connection with them.Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful social links.2. These might be the people we work among,those who frequent a coffee shop,or members of a gym or sports club.Such associations are not made automatically.3. So those who eagerly need social connection can fare poorly in cities.
4. According to the U.S.Surgeon General's Report on Loneliness,people who spend more time online are lonelier.People who claim thousands of online “friends” are often chronically anxious,disconnected and depressed.Perhaps,they would gain better social bonus by being kind to people in real life.
Virtually,not everyone needs constant companionship.This is not merely a question of how extroverted a person is.5. People with a strong sense of external purpose barely suffer from loneliness,whether they perfect their dance moves,get involved in political activism or train service dogs.In this vein,anyone who cultivates a love of nature may become a part of the natural world.That is an endless source of peace,happiness,and connection.
A.Their habits contributed to loneliness.
B.They require openness,initiative and effort.
C.Rather,it reflects how someone leads their life.
D.Outgoing people will live a busy life with social media.
E.Today,social media bring back the invasions of privacy.
F.Many turn to social media for companionship with mixed results.
G.However,associations are often formed through accidental networks.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现代网络社会,孤独感成为健康杀手,并分析了原因,给出了建议。
1.E [解析]根据上文“In the distant past,there were few complaints about loneliness ...our distant ancestors were oppressed by a lack of privacy.”及下文“They facilitate distance.How did loneliness take over contemporary life?”可知,上文主要讲过去我们的祖先的生活,他们不孤独,没有隐私空间,而下文是讲述我们现在的生活,人们常常感到孤独。由此可知,E项符合语境。空后They指代social media。故选E。
2.G [解析]根据上文“Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful social links.”及下文“These might be the people we work among,those who frequent a coffee shop,or members of a gym or sports club.Such associations are not made automatically.”可知,上文说在城市工作可以建立有意义的社会联系,而下文却列举了一些随机组成的社会群体。由此可知,G项符合语境,下文就是列举的一些通过偶然建立的社群。故选G。
3.B [解析]根据上文“These might be the people we work among,those who frequent a coffee shop,or members of a gym or sports club.Such associations are not made automatically.”可知,这些社群需要主动积极参与。由此可知,B项符合语境,B项中的They指代上文中的Such associations。故选B。
4.F [解析]该空为段首句,应概括下文。根据本段下文内容可知,本段是讲总和网友交往的人更孤独,建议和现实生活中的朋友真心交往。由此可知,F项符合语境,下文提到了寻找网络朋友的弊端。故选F。
5.C [解析]根据上文“Virtually,not everyone needs constant companionship.This is not merely a question of how extroverted a person is.”及下文“People with a strong sense of external purpose barely suffer from ...happiness,and connection.”可知,上文指出,有些人并不需要他人的持续陪伴,性格外向是一方面,却不仅限于此。由此可知,C项契合上文,有的人不需要他人的持续陪伴,这还可能反映了他的生活方式,下文列举了一些生活方式的例子。故选C。
二、完形填空
Life is full of ups and downs.You must understand that you will sometimes 1 in things and it is okay when that happens.
From being a kid to transitioning(转变) into a(n) 2 adult,you will fail in many things in life but that will only 3 you more about yourself.You will get to learn about your true 4 ,the things you are good at,and the things that you are bad at.
In my early years at school,I had 5 with some subjects and I used to get really bad grades.Sometimes I would get an F and that would make me really 6 .I used to think:“What will I show my parents?” So what I used to do was 7 those grades,I would turn the F into a B just to 8 my parents,and eventually,I was caught doing that.I realized a lot after that.I knew that I had to accept that failure and 9 it.Then with a series of trials,something 10 actually came from it.I started doing better with my grades.That F turned into a B 11 ,and that B turned into an A.
Whenever you face a failure, 12 think that you are not going to recover from this,you must think of 13 to better yourself.Did you know that it took Thomas Edison 10,000 attempts to 14 the light bulb?This is the 15 that we must learn from our failures,not run from them!

三、读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I arrived home from school,night was falling.A call came from the public:a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden.He scared them off and grabbed their victim.I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot.
We were standing in front of a stranger's house in an unfamiliar street,rescue box in hand.My head was full of instructions to follow.“The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!” Jack said excitedly.We had completed the twoday intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations.
But we were anxious,too.After all,it was the first time for us to rescue a bird.Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box?Many worries flashed in my mind.Sensing my unease about the act ahead,Jack said,“These things are pretty easy to deal with!”
I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kindlooking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient.I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angrylooking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs,together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water.He didn't know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan.“It's eaten some banana,” said the man proudly.The poor soul seemed rather nervous,so I decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoe box into my rescue box.
Back home,we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing,but there was no blood on its feathers.Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor(碘伏药水).We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day.How could we help it spend the night peacefully?We hadn't seen this species of bird before,let alone its habits.
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。
Paragraph 1:
“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack.
Paragraph 2:
The next day,we were glad to see the bird was well enough.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack.We acted quickly and surfed the Internet to figure out the relevant information about the bird,such as its species and habits.Following the given advice,we put some cotton at the bottom of the box to keep it warm and placed it near the fireplace.In order to recover its energy,we gave it some food and water.The bird looked a bit more comfortable,and soon it fell asleep.Having ensured the bird was in good condition,we felt relieved.
Paragraph 2:
The next day,we were glad to see the bird was well enough.It was singing and bouncing around in the rescue box.Obviously,it had regained its energy!Realizing it was fully ready for freedom,we took the box outside,placed the bird in my palm and petted it softly with mixed feelings.I held the bird up and let it go.The bird was circling above us as if to express gratitude.Jack and I looked at each other with a broad smile,feeling that we were qualified volunteer wildlife rescuers now.
