I had always lived in the city,and the idea of spending two months in a place where life moved at a slower pace was both exciting and intimidating.Little did I know,this experience would change my perspective on life and help me grow in ways I never expected. The community center served as a hub()for local activities,offering after-school programs for children.English classes for adults,and support for elderly residents.My main role was to assist with the children's programs.Every morning,I helped organize games,art projects,and reading sessions.At first,I struggled to connect with the kids.Many of them were shy,and I felt unsure of how to engage them.But over time,I learned to be patient and creative.I started using storyteffing and hands-on activities to capture their attention,and soon,the classroom was filled with laughter and enthusiasm. One of the most memorable moments was when a young girl named Lily,who had barely spoken a word during the first week,finally opened up.She shared her dream of becoming a teacher and even helped me lead a reading session.Seeing her confidence grow was incredibly rewarding and reminded me of the impact small actions can have. By the end of the summer,I had not only developed new skills but also gained a deeper understanding of myself.I learned to adapt to unfamiliar situations, communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds,and appreciate the simple joys of life.This experience inspired me to continue volunteering and to approach challenges with a more open mind. 24.What was the author's primary role at the community center?

Q If someone asked whether you like the arts,you'd probably say you do at least in theory.According to a survey,more than two-thirds of U.S.adults say the arts"lift me up beyond everyday experiences".However,only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017;23 percent went to an art museum.Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities,leaving our schedule packed.Maybe you like to play a 4/10 little background music while you work or do the chores,but even before the pandemic,most of us rarely,if ever,saw a live performance,let alone visited a gallery or watched a play. Too often,we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts.But this is a mistake.The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality;they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life.If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments,I assure you that you'll find your life getting fuller and happier.Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry.Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city.There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening,much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in,you might see them as a luxury item,while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure,and more like exereise or sleep,a necessity.Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey,and gradually weave the arts into your ever yday life 28.What prevents people from enjoying the arts according to the text? A.Lack of interest. B.Avoidance of duty. C.Shortage of time. D.Art space inaccessibility. 29.What can we learn about the role of the arts according to the text? A.They explore mysteries of life. B.They spark emotional responses C.They enhance physical well-being.D.They offer a getaway from daily life 30.What willprobably be talked about in the following paragraph? A.Barriers to combine the arts and life B.Benefits of engaging with the arts. C.Forms of distracting pleasures. D.Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine. 31.Which is the most surtable title for the text? A.Ihe Arts Journey:Refreshing Soul B.The Arts Pursuit:Transforming Dull into Full C,Embracing the Arts:From Luxury to Necessity D.Connecting with the Arts:From Reality to Fantasy D Cortisol(皮质醇)，often referred to as the“stress hormone(微素)，”plays a crucial role in managing our body's stress response.Recent discussions on platforms like TikTok have contributed to a widespread misinterpretation that imbalances in cortisol levels are directly responsible for a range of health problems,such as loose skin,sleep disturbances.and digestive issues.As highlighted by experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University,the relationship between cortisol levels and various physical symptoms is complex and not entirely straightforward. 5/10 Cortisol is released by the adrenal glands in response to various stressors, whether they are psychological,such as receiving an unsettling work email,or physical,like encountering a bear during a hike.This hormone helps in regulating energy supply and metabolism(新陈代谢)，with its levels typically peaking in the early morning and decreasing as the day progresses.However,long-term stress can disturb this natural rhythm,resulting in continuously high cortisol levels.Such sustained high levels of cortisol can have adverse effects on health,including a weakened immune system,high blood sugar levels,and mental health issues such as depression and Post-Traumatic Stress.Disorder.In severe cases,too much cortisol production can lead to Cushing's syndrome,a condition that causes significant physical changes and requires medical treatment. Given the dynamic nature of cortisol,assessing cortisol-related problems accurately often requires professional evaluation.Home testing for cortisol may not produce reliable results,emphasizing the need for consultation with healthcare professionals for a comprehensive assessment.wmle managing cortisol levels eftectively does not involve a single universal solution,research has shown that practices such as'yoga,mindfulne..and moderate excise can be beneficial in regulating the body s stress response.These activities not only help in reducing immediate stress but also contribute to training the body to handle stress more efficiently over time. In summary,while cortisol plays a key part in how our body manages stress.and overall functioning,linking many health issues only to cortisol imbalances overlooks the complex interplay between hormores,stress,and health.Adopting a holistic approach to health,which includes seeking professional advice and developing personalized stress management strategies,is crucial for maintaining well-being. 32.What can we know about cortisol? A.Its level always remains stable. B.It has no impact on physical well-being C.It is directly responsible for sleep disorders. D.Its role has been wrongly interpreted on Tik Tok 33.What can be inferred from Paragraph3? A.Measuring cortisol accurately invorves medical tests. B.Home testing for cortisol is highly recommended. C.Regular exercise guarantees lower cortisol levels. D.Stress management depends on mindfulness 34 What does the underlimed word"holistic"mean in the last paragraph? A.Comprehensive.B.Immediate. C.Physical. Medical. 35.Where is this text most likely from? A.A book review. B.A health magazine. C.A scientific paper. .D.An educational guide. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.o;that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too-much.Negative thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds:What kind of impression am I making?

One sunny day,as I was sitting in the classroom feeling a bit bored,my teacher came in and announced that we would have a special project-to planc a tree in the schoolyard.I was excited at the thought of getting outside and doing something different. I went outside and started digging the hole for the tree.I worked hard,feeling the dirt on my hands and the sweat on my forehead.As I was working.a classmate, Mary,came over and said,"Hey,you're really putting a lot of eftort into this!"I smiled and replied,"Yeah,I want this tree to grow strong.It feels like we're doing something meaningful."Mary nodded u agreement,"Definitely.And it's amazing to think about how we're all part of this process of growth." 9/10 As the weeks passed,I would visit the rree otten,observing the little tree as it faced many challenges,including harsh weather and strong,winds.But each time,it overcame them and continued to grow taller and stronger,providing shade and shelter for us.Its journey in the wind and rain was a test ot its perseverance and growth.It made me wonder whether I could be like the tree,growing and changing. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 One day,as I stood by a tree lost in thought,my teacher approached me.
