Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so attracted by smartphones but easily bored by studying?
It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we get a prize.
Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine. But why?
When we visit social media, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give opinions about things we post (发布). This “magic of maybe”, makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have messages from our friends. When our expectations are met, dopamine is given out.
And to find more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn’t provide such magic. Without this excitement, we get bored much more easily.
Can we do something to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications (通知) or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits on apps to avoid using them too much.
“As for studying, you could check your progress (进步) daily or weekly and reward (奖励) yourself for it,” said Daniel Wong, writer of The Happy Student. “You could also search for interesting topics connected with your textbook. Use what you’ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn.”
33. According to the article, what are students like when they study?
A. They get very attracted. B. They feel time pass more slowly.
C. They are getting happier. D. Their brains give out more dopamine.
34. What might the underlined phrase “boils down to” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. works out B. leads to C. hands out D. results from
35. What is Paragraph 4 about?
A. It explains why playing on smartphones causes more dopamine.
B. It introduces a way to get more messages from our friends.
C. It gives an example of spending time happily on social media.
D. It describes how scientists discover the way dopamine works.
36. Which of the following might Daniel Wong suggest to make learning interesting?
A. Setting time limits on everything you do.
B. Stopping playing and finding more interests in real life.
C Using what you learn from textbooks to do things in real life.
D. Reading the interesting part in your textbooks before reading the others.

A few days later, the children are in Helen’s room.
“What are you doing with the bandage (绷带) ? ” asks Roger.
“There’s something wrong with Dacty’s wing. My room is too small and he keeps banging his wings against the walls and furniture. He can’t fly. I feel sorry for him. And he’s always hungry. Can you get something for him from the kitchen? ” Roger goes into the kitchen and cooks a big plate of sausages.
Helen helps Dacty down from her wardrobe. Roger puts the plate with the sausages in front of Dacty and the pterodactyl quickly eats them all up. Then he tries to fly on to the top of Helen’s wardrobe, but he can’t.
“Mum, we have to take Dacty to a vet (兽医) . He can’t fly. There’s something wrong with his wing. Can you take us there?”
“All right. Put him into the big basket.”
“And Mum don’t tell the vet that he is a pterodactyl”, says Helen. “We don’t want people to find out we’ve got a dinosaur (恐龙) in our house. There will be stories in all the newspapers.”
“Okay, I won’t say a word,” says Mum.
When they get to the surgery, the vet looks very carefully at Dacty. “The wing isn’t broken, but it needs rest. I’ll put a splint on it and it’ll be better soon. But what kind of bird is this? What happened to his feathers?”
“Oh, he’s a special turkey from South America, and they don’t have feathers,” says Roger. “Oh, yes, of course,” says the vet, but she looks a little confused.
Two weeks later Dacty’s wing is better, Helen and Roger want to see if he can fly. They wait until it’s dark and they take Dacty outside into the garden in a big basket.

Known as the “Vegetable Basket Line”, Line 4 connects the city’s northeast Shichuan town to the city center. It has a total length of 32.8 kilometers and 15 stations. Since its opening in 2022, it has offered local farmers near the town more ways to sell their vegetables. The vegetables used to be sold at low prices in the town. But now they can be sold at higher prices in the city.
Every morning around 6 o’clock, the Shichuan town station is crowded with farmers. They carry baskets filled with fresh vegetables on their backs, or use shoulder poles to carry the baskets. The station used to open at 6:15 a.m. To help the farmers more, now it opens five minutes earlier every day.
In Chongqing, people over the age of 65 can take the subway for free. The opening of this subway line helps the elderly not only save money but also save time. An elderly couple in their 80s take the subway to sell vegetables every morning. According to the couple, it used to take them more than one hour to reach the city center as they had to take several buses. Now, by taking the subway, they can get there in less than 30 minutes.

1. You will not get the prize ________ you finish all the tasks. Keep trying!
A. after B. because C. until D. when
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:直到你完成所有任务,才会得到奖品。继续努力!
考查连词辨析。after在……之后;because因为;until直到……才;when当……时。根据“You will not get the prize...you finish all the tasks. Keep trying!.”可知,句子需表达“未完成任务前不会得奖”,只有not…until…“直到……才”符合句意。故选C。
2. You must feel very tired after two hours’ waiting at the crossroads. Actually, you ________ stand all the time. You can find a place to be seated for a rest.
A. mustn’t B. don’t have to C. can’t D. shouldn’t
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:在十字路口等了两个小时,你一定很累了。其实,你不必一直站着。你可以找个地方坐下休息。
考查情态动词的用法。mustn’t禁止;don’t have to不必;can’t不能;shouldn’t不应该。根据题干后半句“You can find a place to be seated for a rest(你可以找个地方坐下休息)”可知,此处表达的是“不需要一直站着”,强调“没有义务或必要性”,而非“禁止”或“能力不足”。don’t have to表示“不必”,符合语境,故选B。
3. —Andy won the first place in the Sunshine Town Writing Competition.
—It really surprised us. Nobody ________ him to be so great.
A. explained B. expressed C. accepted D. expected
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——Andy在阳光小镇写作比赛中获得了第一名。——这真让我们惊讶。没有人预料到他会如此出色。
考查动词辨析。explained解释;expressed表达;accepted接受;expected预料。根据“It really surprised us”可知,此处表示“没有人预料到”,故选D。
4. Volunteering is a chance to learn some useful skills and communicate with others, ________ a great contribution (贡献) to our country.
A. as well as B. as good as C. as many as D. as much as

考查短语辨析。as well as也,强调附加关系;as good as和……几乎一样;as many as多达……,后接可数名词复数;as much as多达……,后接不可数名词。根据 “Volunteering is a chance...a great contribution to our country” 可知,此处是说志愿服务除了有前面提到的好处,还能为国家做贡献,表附加关系,应用as well as“也”。故选A。
5. As a teenager in new times, it’s our duty to make a(n) ________ of Chinese culture to the world by telling Chinese stories in English.
A. conversation B. instruction C. introduction D. conclusion
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:作为新时代的青少年,我们有责任通过用英语讲述中国故事,向世界介绍中国文化。
考查名词辨析。conversation 对话;instruction 指示;introduction 介绍;conclusion 结论。根据题干中“telling Chinese stories in English”(用英语讲述中国故事)和“to the world”(向世界)可知,这是介绍中国文化,故选C。
6. —Mr Wu, how soon will the football field in our school be open to us students?
—Oh, I’m afraid it’s still ________ to talk about that.
A. too early B. too late C. early enough D. late enough
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——吴老师,我们学校的足球场多久能对学生开放?——噢,恐怕现在谈这个还为时过早。
考查形容词辨析。too early太早;too late太晚;early enough足够早;late enough足够晚。根据“I’m afraid”可知,老师委婉地表示现在谈论足球场开放时间的问题还为时过早,也即是“太早了,还不能谈论”,应用too…to…表示“太……而不能……”。故选A。
7. —Look at the rubbish. It’s careless ________ you ________ it here.
—Sorry. I will pick it up right away.
A of; to leave B. for; to leave C. of; leaving D. for; leaving
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——看这些垃圾。你把它留在这里真是太粗心了。 ——对不起。我马上把它捡起来。
考查固定句型及非谓语动词。“It’s + adj. + of + sb. + to do sth.”表示“某人做某事是……的”,其中形容词描述人的品质或性格;“It’s + adj. + for + sb. + to do sth.”表示“对某人来说做某事是……的”,其中形容词描述事物的性质。此处“careless”是描述人的品质,应用介词of;且句型中it为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式,因此第二空用to leave。故选A。
8. —Are you sure you have to do this now? It’s almost midnight now.
—I don’t know ________ to do it if not now.
A. where B. how C. what D. when
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你确定现在必须做这件事吗?现在都快半夜了。——如果现在不做,我不知道什么时候能做。
考查疑问词辨析。where哪里;how如何;what什么;when什么时候。根据“if not now”可知,是指现在不做不知何时能做,用疑问词when+不定式作宾语。故选D。
9. According to the following text, ideas are organized in the way of ________.
Rain is falling all around. It falls on the fields and trees. It rains on the umbrella.
And it rains on the ships at sea
A. time order B. space order C. general to specific D. specific to general
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:根据下面的文字,思路是按照一般到具体的顺序组织起来的。
考查对文本结构的判断能力。time order时间顺序;space order空间顺序;general to specific从概括到具体;specific to general从具体到概括。根据文本先以“Rain is falling all around.”概括,再具体列举雨落位置的结构,可知是“从概括到具体(general to specific)” 的组织方式。故选C。
10. —Think about being rich like those actors and singers. It must be great!
—You see, ________. All that matters is what you have now.
A. it never rains but it pours B. the grass is always greener on the other side
C. actions speak louder than words D. the early bird catches the worm
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——想想像那些演员和歌手一样富有。那一定很棒! ——你看,这山望着那山高。重要的是你现在所拥有的。
考查常识和习语。it never rains but it pours 祸不单行;the grass is always greener on the other side 这山望着那山高;actions speak louder than words 行胜于言,事实胜于雄辩;the early bird catches the worm 早起的鸟儿有虫吃。根据“Think about being rich like those actors and singers. It must be great!” 以及“All that matters is what you have now.”可知,是觉得别人富有很好,忽视自己当下拥有的,符合“这山望着那山高”的意思,所以“the grass is always greener on the other side”符合语境。故选B。

Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. Why are we so attracted by smartphones but easily bored by studying?
It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical” that makes people feel good. Our brains give it out when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we get a prize.
Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine. But why?
When we visit social media, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will give opinions about things we post (发布). This “magic of maybe”, makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have messages from our friends. When our expectations are met, dopamine is given out.
And to find more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn’t provide such magic. Without this excitement, we get bored much more easily.
Can we do something to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications (通知) or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits on apps to avoid using them too much.
“As for studying, you could check your progress (进步) daily or weekly and reward (奖励) yourself for it,” said Daniel Wong, writer of The Happy Student. “You could also search for interesting topics connected with your textbook. Use what you’ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn.”
33. According to the article, what are students like when they study?
A. They get very attracted. B. They feel time pass more slowly.
C. They are getting happier. D. Their brains give out more dopamine.
34. What might the underlined phrase “boils down to” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. works out B. leads to C. hands out D. results from
35. What is Paragraph 4 about?
A. It explains why playing on smartphones causes more dopamine.
B. It introduces a way to get more messages from our friends.
C. It gives an example of spending time happily on social media.
D. It describes how scientists discover the way dopamine works.
36. Which of the following might Daniel Wong suggest to make learning interesting?
A. Setting time limits on everything you do.
B. Stopping playing and finding more interests in real life.
C. Using what you learn from textbooks to do things in real life.
D. Reading the interesting part in your textbooks before reading the others.
【答案】33. B 34. D 35. A 36. C

A few days later, the children are in Helen’s room.
“What are you doing with the bandage (绷带) ? ” asks Roger.
“There’s something wrong with Dacty’s wing. My room is too small and he keeps banging his wings against the walls and furniture. He can’t fly. I feel sorry for him. And he’s always hungry. Can you get something for him from the kitchen? ” Roger goes into the kitchen and cooks a big plate of sausages.
Helen helps Dacty down from her wardrobe. Roger puts the plate with the sausages in front of Dacty and the pterodactyl quickly eats them all up. Then he tries to fly on to the top of Helen’s wardrobe, but he can’t.
“Mum, we have to take Dacty to a vet (兽医) . He can’t fly. There’s something wrong with his wing. Can you take us there?”
“All right. Put him into the big basket.”
“And Mum, don’t tell the vet that he is a pterodactyl”, says Helen. “We don’t want people to find out we’ve got a dinosaur (恐龙) in our house. There will be stories in all the newspapers.”
“Okay, I won’t say a word,” says Mum.
When they get to the surgery, the vet looks very carefully at Dacty. “The wing isn’t broken, but it needs rest. I’ll put a splint on it and it’ll be better soon. But what kind of bird is this? What happened to his feathers?”
“Oh, he’s a special turkey from South America, and they don’t have feathers,” says Roger. “Oh, yes, of course,” says the vet, but she looks a little confused.
Two weeks later Dacty’s wing is better, Helen and Roger want to see if he can fly. They wait until it’s dark and they take Dacty outside into the garden in a big basket.

【导语】本文主要讲的是海伦发现翼龙达克第的翅膀受伤,请求母亲带达克第去看兽医的故事。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“There’s something wrong with Dacty’s wing. My room is too small and he keeps banging his wings against the walls and furniture. He can’t fly.”可知,海伦的房间太小了,达克第不停地用翅膀拍打墙壁和家具;所以达克第受伤是因为没有足够的空间让其飞翔。故选D。

推理判断题。根据第五段中“Mum, we have to take Dacty to a vet. He can’t fly. There’s something wrong with his wing.”以及第七段中“don’t tell the vet that he is a pterodactyl”及“We don’t want people to find out we’ve got a dinosaur (恐龙) in our house. There will be stories in all the newspapers.”可知,海伦请求母亲带达克第去看兽医,并不告诉兽医达克第是翼龙;可推断出海伦是一个细心的人。故选A。

A team of elderly women in Chongqing, serving as “shared-grandmas” to help working parents pick up their children from school and stay with the kids, has received a lot of likes online recently.
The team of “shared-grandmas” from the Shipingcun Community in Chongqing’s Jiulongpo District includes nine retired (退休的) women, mostly empty-nesters (空巢老人). They volunteer to take care of 25 kids in the community.
Working parents of the children who aren’t able to pick up their kids from school are in need of a temporary guardian (临时监护人). The volunteers can spare the time and energy for the family and they can also ease (缓解) their loneliness by doing the job.
Deng Lihong, 66, is a member of the team. Every weekday, she picks up the children from school, and accompanies them while they do their homework and play in the community room until their parents pick them up.
“I feel young with the kids and my retired life is meaningful,” she said.
“The program started in April and the number of the team members is still growing,” Cao Yidan, the chairman of Chongqing Amber Social Work Service Center, said.
“The program is great and worth promoting (提倡) in other places in the country,” an Internet user said.
“We encourage the retired women in the community to take part in this public service. It’s a win-win situation for the families in need and ‘shared-grandmas’. The feeling of achievement and happiness means a lot to them,” Peng Mei, the secretary of the Party Committee of Shipingcun Community, said.

【61题详解】
句意:中秋节是中国最重要的节日之一。“one of + 形容词最高级 + 复数名词”为固定结构,意为“最……之一”,所以此处用名词复数,holiday的复数形式为holidays,故填holidays。
【62题详解】
句意:人们总是在农历八月十五庆祝它。根据常识可知,中秋节在一年中的第八个月,用序数词eighth,the eighth month意为“第八个月”,故填eighth。
【63题详解】
句意:据说那天的月亮是最圆最亮的。根据“fullest and”可知,and连接并列成分,前面是最高级,所以此处也用最高级,bright的最高级为brightest,故填brightest。
【64题详解】
句意:这个节日大约3000年前在中国开始,从那以后它就已经成为一个受欢迎的传统。根据“since then”和“already”可知,时态为现在完成时,结构为“have/has + 过去分词”,主语it为单数,故填has been。

【68题详解】
句意:月亮上的仙女故事讲述的是一个叫嫦娥的美丽女子。根据“woman”和“name”可知,二者存在被动关系,所以此处用过去分词作后置定语,修饰“a beautiful woman”,表示“被命名为”,故填named。
【69题详解】
句意:她独自住在月球上的广寒宫。by oneself为固定搭配,意为“独自”,主语为she,故用反身代词herself。故填herself。
【70题详解】
句意:中秋节时,人们能清楚地/更清楚地看到她的美貌。根据“see”可知,此处用副词修饰动词see,clear的副词形式为clearly;根据常识可知,八月十五这一天,月亮更大更圆,也能更清楚地看到她的美貌。故填clearly/more clearly。

Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Hua from Sunshine Middle School. Today I am very happy to be here to give you a speech about how to be an excellent teenager.
First, to be an excellent teenager, good habits are very important. For example, we should develop good reading habits to improve ourselves. Exercising every day is also a good habit, and it can help us keep strong and healthy.
Second, it’s important for us to learn about manners and behave politely in public. We should always obey traffic rules. When we are in a queue, we should be polite enough to wait for our turn. Moreover, we shouldn’t shout or laugh loudly in public.
