Take your time.” Jonah came with a cup of cappuccino for her.“Thanks,” she said and accepted the coffee.“Everything’s fine.” Then Jonah nodded, revealing a comforting smile, and went back inside.

Since then, she hadn’t touched her paints for a whole year. Today was doomed to be a sad date, the anniversary of her exciting plans turning to dust. She felt a crushing sense of disappointment. In her painting, she had captured a good likeness of the cloudy sky and the reflection of the setting sun upon the water, but the picture did have a sad, dreary （沉闷的） quality. About 20 minutes later, she was shocked by a voice at her shoulder, “That’s beautiful.” Cassie turned, and there was a woman wearing a blue coat. The woman eyed it again.“You have talent, but there is much sadness in it, for one so young.” Cassie’s eyes were filled with tears.“My name’s Willow,” the woman said kindly.“Why not try painting the sunrise instead, my dear? You might find it helps.” 刷阅读理解 22 With Willow’s words echoing in her mind, Cassie rose an hour earlier the next day, caught a bus to the beach and began to paint again. When she finished, Jonah was just opening up. He picked the painting up and appreciated it at eye height.“Hey, this is good. It’s really—” For a moment he struggled for the word, then found it and turned to her, smiling, “Optimistic!” In her picture the sun was powering into the sky, casting a clear, golden pathway across the sea. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了凯茜心情低落，在被一位陌生人开导后，通过画日出再次对生活产生乐观心态的故事。 刷阅读理解 23 1.Which of the following best explains the underlined part “He was a great boss” in paragraph 5?( ) D A.Jonah offered a cup of coffee to Cassie.

How do these paths differ? What are the dangers of an easy life? What are the rewards for a hard life? How do you start taking the path of most resistance? Taking the path of least resistance means choosing the easiest available option, with little regard for its long-term consequences. For example, you eat whatever you like, whenever you like, and in whatever amount you like. It may feel nice at first but all of them have a very steep price. In that case, it’s guaranteed obesity. Most people in the modern world follow this path and this is why so many people struggle with a lack of self-discipline, good habits, etc. 刷阅读理解 28 The path of most resistance is about choosing the option that will lead to more personal growth, even if it means suffering in the early stage of the process. For example, it may cost you a lot to quit watching TV for hours on end. But over the long term, you’ll free up a lot of time that will lead to a more satisfying life than that of a couch potato. At first sight, this approach is unappealing. It requires effort and loss of pleasure, and leads to potential suffering. Yet, on the other side of all that lies a world of more confidence, self-discipline and mental resilience （恢复力）.In the end, they more than make up for the fleeting superficial pleasures. We’re lazy by nature. Some may point out that it was because of this tendency that we now enjoy so many wonders of technology that people in the past would kill to have. But ask the same individuals praising laziness if they would be happy living a life where everything is given to them the moment they think about it. They would have zero hardships, no objective in life and no obstacle to overcome and no wise human would want such an existence. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人们在作出选择时，总是去选择阻力最小的道路，但从长远看来，阻力最大的道路对你更有利。 刷阅读理解 29 1.How does the author show the dangers of choosing the easy path?( ) A A.By giving examples. B.By listing data. C.By making a comparison. D.By asking questions. 解析 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，本段首先提出选择阻力最小的道路意味着选择最容易的路，而没有考虑到其长期的后果，接着以吃东西来举例说明选择最容易的路导致的后果。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 30 2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?( ) D A.Watching TV for hours. B.Having few life struggles. C.Getting superficial pleasures. D.Choosing the path of most resistance. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“The path of most resistance is about choosing the option that will lead to more personal growth, even if it means suffering in the early stage of the process.”可知，此处提出选择阻力最大的路促进个人成长，即使这意味着在过程的初期要经历痛苦。it作even if引导的让步状语从句的主语，承上指代，由此可知，it指代上文的“选择阻力最大的路”。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 31 3.Which of the following would the author agree with?( ) C A.Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. B.Set your life goals as early as possible. C.There should be some challenges in life.

B.To show the common lifestyles of young people. C.To prove it’s laziness that leads to wonders. D.To persuade us to challenge ourselves. 解析 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中的“Yet, it is the hard choice—the path of most resistance—that is more beneficial and provides most success in the long run.”和最后一段中的“They would have zero hardships, no objective in life and no obstacle to overcome and no wise human would want such an existence.”可知，作者在文中描述了选择最容易的路的后果以及选择阻力最大的路带来的益处，最后作者指出，没有一个聪明人想要没有困难和挑战的生活，故作者写本文的目的是说服我们挑战自己。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 33 长难句分析 句意：选择阻力最大的路径意味着更多的个人成长，即使这意味着在过程的早期阶段要承受痛苦。 刷阅读理解 34 词汇加油站 核心词汇 1.free up腾出；使……可用 2.superficial adj.表面的；肤浅的 构词法 -ance suffix ……的动作；……的状态 resistance n.阻力；反抗；抵抗 刷阅读理解 35 The question “Who am I?” can bring on a series of thoughts, emotions, and feelings, but what if you don’t know how to answer? 1.___ Feeling lost or confused about who you are is more common than you may think, and we’re here to help you find all the answers you’re looking for.

After jokingly acknowledging there might not be enough, she went on, “These are no ordinary strawberries.” She held up a series of strawberries, revealing what each represents: sweat, dirt, aches, and pains. Brenda described herself as the daughter of two tireless farmers who immigrated from Mexico and spent most of their days working in fields of strawberries, blueberries, and cucumbers.“My motivation has been rooted in my immigrant culture.” Because of this, she chose to focus on that in her address.“Many students used to be ashamed of their upbringing but today, we’re proud of what makes us.” 刷阅读理解 64 She explained how she grew up under poor conditions.“I’m motivated by my parents’ hands that lose feeling from laborious work. Despite the hot sun and body pains, they back me up heart and soul in my education, which weighs more strongly with me than anything else. I must work hard and succeed.” Brenda’s heading to Stanford University this fall. She also credited some of her outstanding achievements to her teacher Higgins, who helps immigrant students and the poor. Her speech has been viewed by thousands online.“Hearing it touched other people’s hearts who said they understood my message, I’m struck the same,” Brenda said later. The principal of Mulberry High School, Michael Young, was one member of the audience getting emotional.“The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey,” Young said. As for her message to young people struggling, Brenda said, “Past circumstances aren’t in charge of your future. If you’re from a poor family, use every resource and try to better yourself. You’re the author of your story.” 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。佛罗里达州的布伦达在毕业演讲时借用一篮草莓，告诉人们生活是自己创造的，要努力让自己变得更好。 刷阅读理解 66 1.Why did Brenda bring strawberries to her graduation?( ) C A.To share her home-grown fruit.

Psychology professor K.Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that is called “deliberate practice”.That is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe the limits are real. Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity? Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as “Big C” and “small c”.Big C creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. 刷阅读理解 71 Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem-solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt. Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these thinking processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. But normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviours is comfortable. 刷阅读理解 Moving out of our comfort zone, engaging in deliberate practice and facing conflicting ideas, risks and failures bravely are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will turn any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文，介绍了通过走出舒适区，进行刻意练习和勇敢面对矛盾的想法、风险和失败，人们可以学着变得更有创造力。 刷阅读理解 73 1.What does Ericsson think of success?( ) C A.Success is determined by talent. B.Success has little to do with goals. C.There exist no restrictions on success. D.Success is only possible in some fields. 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe the limits are real.”可知，埃里克森尚未找到成功的限制，而且认为这些限制是不存在的。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 74 2.Which of the following is an example of “small c”?( ) B A.Settling in outer space. B.Building a plastic doghouse. C.Developing robots to tend to the old. D.Discovering medicine to save lives. 解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem-solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking.”可知，“小c创造力”指日常的创造性解决问题的事例， B项（建造一个塑料狗窝）是日常生活中可能会遇到的利用创造力解决问题的例子。 刷阅读理解 75 3.What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean?( ) A A.Copy. B.Limit. C.Justify. D.Assess. 解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的内容可知，大多数有创造力的人都有一个共同的性格特征：乐于接受新体验；画线词所在句讲到这一品质和这些思维过程已经被发现，因此那些不那么有创造力的人就可以试图模仿这一特质和遵循这些创造性解决问题的过程，以提高自己的创造力。故画线词意为“效仿，模仿”，与A项意思相近。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 76 4.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?( ) B A.Life is full of various challenges. B.We can learn to be more creative. C.It’s better to take deliberate practice. D.Most can become creative geniuses. 解析 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中的“It is unlikely that doing so will turn any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity.”可知，作者认为虽然走出舒适区，进行刻意练习以及勇敢面对矛盾的想法、风险和失败等做法并不可能让人们变成具有创造力的天才，但这有可能会提高人们的创造力；结合全文内容可知，作者主要强调创造力是可以习得的，人们可以通过自身的努力提高创造力。 刷阅读理解 77 ［河北唐山一中2025高二月考］I’ve always been creative since I was a little girl.

This atmospheric water harvester used a material known as a metal-organic framework （MOF）.It can extract water repeatedly in the hottest and driest place in North America, Death Valley National Park. The tests showed the device could provide clean water anywhere, addressing an urgent problem, as climate change exacerbates drought conditions. “Almost one-third of the world’s population lives in water-stressed areas. The UN predicts that in 2050, almost 5 billion people on our planet will experience some kind of water stress for a significant part of the year,” said Omar Yaghi, a chemistry professor who invented MOFs and is leading this study.“This is quite relevant to taking advantage of a new source of water.” Other kinds of materials, such as salts or hydrogels, cannot operate in extreme weather conditions, in an energy-efficient manner and with a high capacity all at once. 刷阅读理解 86 The new MOF-powered harvesters can be an exceptionally powerful tool to address water shortage issues related to anything from drinking water to agriculture. This technology can also be used to secure pure water in areas where water is plentiful but not clean. The device is also extremely efficient at harvesting water, releasing 85 to 90 percent of the water it captures from atmospheric vapour as drinking water. It harvests up to 285 grammes of water per kilogramme of the MOF in a day, the amount of a cup of water. It’s also smaller than the earlier type but it is even more energy-efficient. It produces 200 grammes of clean water per square metre of water vapour, more than three times the water productivity rate of the earlier type. There will likely be further developments in efficiency and size for this device. Yaghi said he could see one day the widespread adoption of household-based MOF-powered water harvesters, and community-scale water harvesters with the help of data science and machine learning. Those could be in kitchens or even next to air conditioners to supply homes with clean water for cooking and cleaning. Some companies are already working on this, he said. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员设计的一款利用太阳能驱动的手持水分子收集器。 刷阅读理解 88 1.What can we learn about the new handheld device?( ) C A.It helps improve air quality.

In the UK, it costs around ￡75.Given that potatoes in my supermarket are ￡0.90 per kilogramme, you would have to produce at least 83 kg to break even. Assuming you get almost the same output as the professionals, a 60 cm by 60 cm planter would only give you around 2 to 3 kg per year. So at best, you would only get your money back after around 27 years. 3.___ Well, given that everything goes well, you will still need to start by buying seed potatoes. In my garden centre these don’t come cheap. For easy-to-transport produce with a long shelf life, like potatoes, carrots and onions, it really is almost impossible to make the maths work in your favour on a domestic scale, as efficiencies resulting from agricultural mechanisation make these so inexpensive to buy.
