A
Children’s ability to make sound decisions develops with age. Understanding these stages helps parents determine when it’s appropriate to allow independence or when guidance is necessary.
Toddlers (1—3 years)
At this stage, toddlers are beginning to show independence but have limited understanding of consequences (后果). Choices should be simple and controlled, for example, letting them pick between two coats or snacks. This builds a sense of control while maintaining safety.
Preschoolers (3—5 years)
Preschoolers start understanding cause and effect but still require significant supervision (监管). They can deal with choices like selecting activities or toys. Parents can help by offering limited options to guide their decisions without making them feel stressed.
Early Elementary (6—8 years)
Children develop better reasoning but may struggle with long-term consequences. This age group can manage more difficult decisions such as organizing homework time or choosing after-school activities but still benefit from parental support.
Tweens (9—12 years)
Tweens are capable of more independent decision-making but can be influenced by peer (同龄人) pressure and emotions. They can handle money-related decisions like managing pocket money or planning social events with oversight.
When Parents Should Let Kids Decide
Hobbies and Interests
Children should be free to choose activities they are interested in, rather than those forced by their parents. Encouraging self-directed exploration powers kids’ drive and helps their passions grow.
Learning Choices
Involving older children in decisions about educational goals or study methods encourages responsibility for their own learning journey.
Problem Solving
When children face age-appropriate challenges, letting them find solutions builds strong will and creativity. Parents can act as guides rather than fixers.

C. Unsupervised outdoor activities. D. Simple decisions with two choices.
2. What do preschoolers begin to understand?

David Olvera jumped into the dark waters of the East River at 2 a.m. on 26 June, 2025, and circled New York City by the time the sun came up, in the fastest lap around Manhattan Island in history. The 31-year-old open-water swimmer completed the 45.9 km race in just 5 hours 34 minutes 58 seconds, cutting a full 7 minutes off the previous record set by Andrew Donaldson (UK) in September last year.
By the time he swam through the Hudson, East, and Harlem Rivers, the excited yet tired athlete had overcome a heat wave, strong currents, and a near-miss from a ship — but it was all worth it. “It was pure joy,” David said. “I splashed (拍打) the water, and it felt like I had won a 50m freestyle gold medal in the Olympics. I started crying because it was amazing to prove to myself that I was the guy I told myself I was.”
During the swim, David was accompanied by Alex Arévalo, who monitored the water and shouted encouragement, and his friend Mauricio, who helped him recharge by handing him food on a fishing pole. “It wasn’t just about pushing hard,” David said. “It was about swimming smart and trusting my team’s decisions in that moment, knowing they believed in me to make the push.”
It took David just over five hours to finish the swim, but months to prepare for the journey. “I was swimming 50 to 60 kilometres a week, doing doubles almost every day, and some days I swam 13 kilometres,” he explained.
For 14 years, he’s been a member of the swim team Club Deportivo Potosino in Mexico, and credits his coaches and teammates for inspiring him to keep going.
“Be grateful for every opportunity to train, and surround yourself with people who lift you up,” he advised other swimmers. “The water isn’t your enemy; it’s your co-pilot in shaping who you want to be.”
4. Why did David mention the Olympics in paragraph 2?
A. To stress his great joy. B. To show a future goal.
C. To compare swimming styles. D. To celebrate his past win.
5. What was Alex Arévalo’s role during David’s swim?
A. He competed alongside David. B. He recorded David’s swimming time.
C. He provided necessary food when needed. D. He ensured safety and gave emotional support.
6. What can we know about David’s preparation for the swim?
A. He seldom depended on his teammates. B. He trained mainly in swimming pools.
C. He followed a demanding weekly schedule. D. He began training two weeks before the event.
7. What does David describe water as?
A. An enemy. B. A helper. C. A swimmer. D. A pilot.
C
As a writer, I work best under deadlines (截止日期). But sometimes, deadlines, family needs, and other demands make my brain spin (旋转) so much that I feel sick. I can’t get the words out or form sentences. The stress of it all makes being creative impossible.
Here lies the conundrum: stress impacts our ability to be creative, but being creative can help reduce stress. In fact, some tension can be the inspiration for beautiful acts of creation.
It’s a balancing act, explains Dr. Radwa Khalil from the Constructor University Bremen, Germany. She explains that how we think about stress is like making two judgments. First, we decide if a situation is threatening or challenging. Then, we look at what resources we have to cope (应对) with it.
Importantly, if the things we feel we need to deal with are more than what we can address, we hit a tipping point. If not addressed, Dr. Khalil says, “This can lead to anxiety, depression, or burnout. This matches the idea that there is a limit, and if stress goes beyond that limit, it becomes harmful. The key is not to allow ourselves to get to this point, but where it lies varies from person to person, which is why we need individual tools to help. Ways of coping can be helpful or harmful, and often develop through a mix of personal experiences, social interactions, and environmental factors.”
We can easily add creativity to our daily lives. Dr. Belynder Walia, a psychotherapist, says creativity can help you slow down and change focus. Free writing can slow down racing thoughts, and coloring can make you feel more relaxed. It’s like giving your mind something new to do when you’re stressed.
However, you might need to calm your body down from fight-or-flight condition before any kind of creativity is possible. She suggests: “Simple grounding techniques like breathing deeply, splashing cold water on your face, or gently shaking your arms and legs can signal to your nervous system that you’re safe. Creativity can take over once tension starts to die down, helping you process what’s left.”
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. Through self-experience. B. By telling a story.
C. Through a brief explanation. D. By providing data.
9. What does the underlined word “conundrum” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A clear statement. B. A simple solution.
C. A hard-to-solve problem. D. A wrong decision.
10. What can we infer about stress from paragraph 4?
A. It’s a harmful partner. B. It produces strategies.
C. It’s the mother of creativity. D. It varies from person to person.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Coping Strategies for Stress B. Ways to Develop Creativity
C. Stress and Creativity: A Win-Win Situation D. Stress and Creativity: A Difficult Relationship
D
An international team of researchers has discovered that when cats settle down for a sleep, they are not just getting comfortable; they are likely using a natural survival strategy. A new study researching hundreds of videos found that cats show a significant preference for sleeping on their left side. This seemingly slight preference may be a powerful behavior connected to how their brains process threats.
The finding is rooted in a concept known as brain lateralization, which refers to the specialization of the brain’s two hemispheres (半球) for different functions. Just as most humans are right-handed, many animals show similar left-right asymmetries (不对称) that improve efficiency. “Asymmetries in behavior can have advantages because both hemispheres of the brain specialize in different tasks,” said Onur Güntürkün, a professor of biopsychology at Ruhr University Bochum and one of the study’s authors.
To study this in sleeping cats, the research team, led by scientists in Italy and Germany, turned to a modern data source: YouTube. They researched 408 videos where a single cat was seen sleeping on its side for at least 10 seconds, excluding any changed or mirrored footage to ensure data truthfulness. Cats sleep for about 12 to 16 hours a day, and this study found that they have a regular way of lying down during that time. The results were clear: two-thirds of the cats were found sleeping on their left side.
A new study suggests that even in sleep, cats may be prepared for survival. Researchers discovered a majority of cats prefer to sleep on their left side, a position that gives their brain’s threat-recognition hemisphere a better view upon waking.
Scientists conclude this specific way of sleeping is a built-in way for cats to stay safe. It helps their brains get ready to quickly react to anything that might be a threat or something to catch.
12. What is the main finding of the study according to the text?
A. Cats sleep for 12 to 16 hours a day. B. Cats’ brains have different functions.
C. Most cats prefer sleeping on their left side. D. YouTube is a useful source for scientific research.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By studying videos. B. Through comparisons.
C. By experimenting with cats. D. Through field observations.
14. Which word can best describe this text?
A. Confusing. B. Informative. C. Disorganized. D. Emotional.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A student textbook. B. A daily newspaper.
C. An academic journal. D. A travel guidebook.

Ten minutes after Marie Grey dropped off her 17-year-old daughter Emily at her ballet lesson she received a call saying she had passed out in class. Rushing back to the studio, she knew from the way Emily was lying on the floor, and how one side of her face had changed, that her daughter had suffered a serious illness. As they waited for an ambulance (救护车), Emily’s condition got worse fast, becoming unconscious (无意识的) in her mother’s arms. She was taken to St George’s Hospital in south London, where she received a life-saving operation.
It was December 1, 2021. There would be no normal Christmas for the Grey family that year. It occurred at the point where Emily’s whole life lay ahead of her. In her first year studying for A-Levels at Wimbledon High School, she dreamed of becoming a doctor. And as well as dance, Emily was a talented runner for Surrey, a netball player, a ball girl at Wimbledon Tennis and a hopeful model, signed to Select Model Management.
“Life-changing” was the message Marie and her husband Ian were given. Emily’s life would never be the same. The Greys were told that Emily would never be able to stand, walk, make a movement or have a conversation. The family, however, never lost sight of Emily, even as the doctors told them brain scans (扫描) showed how deep the damage was to her thinking abilities. Marie recalls the time a well-meaning advisor sent the junior doctors out of the room, pulled the screen around Emily, herself and Ian, and explained there was a place she could go where they remove water and food, so that she could pass peacefully away. Even then the family didn’t lose hope. They visited Emily daily, holding her hand and sharing stories with her. They believed Emily’s spirit was stronger than the scans, and their love became her lifeline.

David Olvera jumped into the dark waters of the East River at 2 a.m. on 26 June, 2025, and circled New York City by the time the sun came up, in the fastest lap around Manhattan Island in history. The 31-year-old open-water swimmer completed the 45.9 km race in just 5 hours 34 minutes 58 seconds, cutting a full 7 minutes off the previous record set by Andrew Donaldson (UK) in September last year.
By the time he swam through the Hudson, East, and Harlem Rivers, the excited yet tired athlete had overcome a heat wave, strong currents, and a near-miss from a ship — but it was all worth it. “It was pure joy,” David said. “I splashed (拍打) the water, and it felt like I had won a 50m freestyle gold medal in the Olympics. I started crying because it was amazing to prove to myself that I was the guy I told myself I was.”
During the swim, David was accompanied by Alex Arévalo, who monitored the water and shouted encouragement, and his friend Mauricio, who helped him recharge by handing him food on a fishing pole. “It wasn’t just about pushing hard,” David said. “It was about swimming smart and trusting my team’s decisions in that moment, knowing they believed in me to make the push.”
It took David just over five hours to finish the swim, but months to prepare for the journey. “I was swimming 50 to 60 kilometres a week, doing doubles almost every day, and some days I swam 13 kilometres,” he explained.
For 14 years, he’s been a member of the swim team Club Deportivo Potosino in Mexico, and credits his coaches and teammates for inspiring him to keep going.
“Be grateful for every opportunity to train, and surround yourself with people who lift you up,” he advised other swimmers. “The water isn’t your enemy; it’s your co-pilot in shaping who you want to be.”
4. Why did David mention the Olympics in paragraph 2?
A. To stress his great joy. B. To show a future goal.
C. To compare swimming styles. D. To celebrate his past win.
5. What was Alex Arévalo’s role during David’s swim?
A. He competed alongside David. B. He recorded David’s swimming time.
C. He provided necessary food when needed. D. He ensured safety and gave emotional support.
6. What can we know about David’s preparation for the swim?
A. He seldom depended on his teammates. B. He trained mainly in swimming pools.
C. He followed a demanding weekly schedule. D. He began training two weeks before the event.
7. What does David describe water as?
A. An enemy. B. A helper. C. A swimmer. D. A pilot.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】

As a writer, I work best under deadlines (截止日期). But sometimes, deadlines, family needs, and other demands make my brain spin (旋转) so much that I feel sick. I can’t get the words out or form sentences. The stress of it all makes being creative impossible.
Here lies the conundrum: stress impacts our ability to be creative, but being creative can help reduce stress. In fact, some tension can be the inspiration for beautiful acts of creation.
It’s a balancing act, explains Dr. Radwa Khalil from the Constructor University Bremen, Germany. She explains that how we think about stress is like making two judgments. First, we decide if a situation is threatening or challenging. Then, we look at what resources we have to cope (应对) with it.
Importantly, if the things we feel we need to deal with are more than what we can address, we hit a tipping point. If not addressed, Dr. Khalil says, “This can lead to anxiety, depression, or burnout. This matches the idea that there is a limit, and if stress goes beyond that limit, it becomes harmful. The key is not to allow ourselves to get to this point, but where it lies varies from person to person, which is why we need individual tools to help. Ways of coping can be helpful or harmful, and often develop through a mix of personal experiences, social interactions, and environmental factors.”
We can easily add creativity to our daily lives. Dr. Belynder Walia, a psychotherapist, says creativity can help you slow down and change focus. Free writing can slow down racing thoughts, and coloring can make you feel more relaxed. It’s like giving your mind something new to do when you’re stressed.
However, you might need to calm your body down from fight-or-flight condition before any kind of creativity is possible. She suggests: “Simple grounding techniques like breathing deeply, splashing cold water on your face, or gently shaking your arms and legs can signal to your nervous system that you’re safe. Creativity can take over once tension starts to die down, helping you process what’s left.”
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. Through self-experience. B. By telling a story.
C. Through a brief explanation. D. By providing data.
9. What does the underlined word “conundrum” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A clear statement. B. A simple solution.
C. A hard-to-solve problem. D. A wrong decision.
10. What can we infer about stress from paragraph 4?
A. It’s a harmful partner. B. It produces strategies.
C. It’s the mother of creativity. D. It varies from person to person.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Coping Strategies for Stress B. Ways to Develop Creativity

An international team of researchers has discovered that when cats settle down for a sleep, they are not just getting comfortable; they are likely using a natural survival strategy. A new study researching hundreds of videos found that cats show a significant preference for sleeping on their left side. This seemingly slight preference may be a powerful behavior connected to how their brains process threats.
The finding is rooted in a concept known as brain lateralization which refers to the specialization of the brain’s two hemispheres (半球) for different functions. Just as most humans are right-handed, many animals show similar left-right asymmetries (不对称) that improve efficiency. “Asymmetries in behavior can have advantages because both hemispheres of the brain specialize in different tasks,” said Onur Güntürkün, a professor of biopsychology at Ruhr University Bochum and one of the study’s authors.
To study this in sleeping cats, the research team, led by scientists in Italy and Germany, turned to a modern data source: YouTube. They researched 408 videos where a single cat was seen sleeping on its side for at least 10 seconds, excluding any changed or mirrored footage to ensure data truthfulness. Cats sleep for about 12 to 16 hours a day, and this study found that they have a regular way of lying down during that time. The results were clear: two-thirds of the cats were found sleeping on their left side.
A new study suggests that even in sleep, cats may be prepared for survival. Researchers discovered a majority of cats prefer to sleep on their left side, a position that gives their brain’s threat-recognition hemisphere a better view upon waking.
Scientists conclude this specific way of sleeping is a built-in way for cats to stay safe. It helps their brains get ready to quickly react to anything that might be a threat or something to catch.
12. What is the main finding of the study according to the text?
A. Cats sleep for 12 to 16 hours a day. B. Cats’ brains have different functions.
C. Most cats prefer sleeping on their left side. D. YouTube is a useful source for scientific research.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By studying videos. B. Through comparisons.
C. By experimenting with cats. D. Through field observations.
14. Which word can best describe this text?
A. Confusing. B. Informative. C. Disorganized. D. Emotional.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A student textbook. B. A daily newspaper.
C. An academic journal. D. A travel guidebook.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕一项国际研究展开,揭示猫咪睡觉时偏好左侧卧位的行为并非偶然,而是与 “大脑偏侧化”(左右半球功能分工)相关的生存策略 —— 该姿势能让负责威胁识别的大脑半球在苏醒时更快感知环境,帮助猫咪快速应对危险或猎物,同时详细介绍了研究的方法、结论及背后的科学原理。
【12题详解】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大贾斯珀国家公园(Jasper National Park)的相关信息,涵盖其历史、地理位置、季节特点、面积与生物多样性以及可开展的活动等内容。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:贾斯珀国家公园位于广阔的落基山脉,自1907年9月14日成立以来,一直是野生动物和自然美景的避难所,是一个受保护的森林公园。设空处为谓语,根据时间状语“since its establishment on September 14, 1907”可知,此处表示从过去某个时间开始一直持续到现在的状态,要用现在完成时。主语“Jasper National Park”是单数,助动词用has,故填has been。
【37题详解】
考查过去分词。句意同上。设空处修饰名词Forest Park,和名词之间是被动关系,应用过去分词“protected”,表示“受保护的”,故填protected。
【38题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:后来,在1930年,它获得了国家公园的称号,占地11228平方公里。句子的谓语动词是“obtained”,所以“cover”要用非谓语动词形式。“it(指代贾斯珀国家公园)”和“cover”之间是主动关系,应用现在分词“covering”作伴随状语。故填covering。
【39题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:它有着悠久的历史,有土著人、早期探险家和现代冒险家。“and”连接并列成分,前面是“native people”和“early explorers”,都是名词复数形式,所以这里也用“adventurer”的复数形式“adventurers”。故填adventurers。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:最容易到达的入口是通过贾斯珀镇,由加拿大横贯公路连接。此处需形容词修饰名词“entrance”(入口),表示“最易到达的入口”。“access”的形容词形式 “accessible”(可到达的、易接近的)符合题意。故填accessible。
【41题详解】
考查介词和固定搭配。句意:冬天是滑雪和冬季运动的最佳时节,尽管许多徒步路线都已关闭。固定搭配“be perfect for sth.”(非常适合某事),此处表示 “冬天非常适合滑雪和冬季运动”,故填for。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。 句意:贾斯珀国家公园占地11000平方公里,是加拿大落基山脉最大的国家公园,是黑熊、狼和驯鹿等各种野生动物的家园。“largest”是形容词最高级,前面需加定冠词 “the”,表示“加拿大落基山脉中最大的国家公园”,故填the。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是“Jasper”(指贾斯珀国家公园),从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词“which”。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:此外,它还是200多种鸟类和不同植物的避难所。此处需副词修饰整个句子,表“此外、另外”,“additional”的副词形式是“Additionally”,且位于句首首字母大写,故填Additionally。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意:此外,我们备有捕鱼许可证,可捕捉各种鱼类。此处需用不定式表目的,说明“提供钓鱼许可”的目的是“捕捉各种鱼类”,故填to catch。

【答案】
Dear teacher and classmates,
Today, I want to talk about paper books, e-books and audiobooks.
Years ago, most people only read paper books. But now, we can read e-books on phones or tablets, and we can listen to audiobooks when we walk or do chores.
In my opinion, each form has its own advantages. Paper books let us feel the touch of pages, which makes reading more real. E-books are easy to carry. Audiobooks are great because they let us “read” while doing other things. What I like most is that we can choose the form that fits our needs best.
No matter which one we use, the most important thing is that we keep reading.
Thank you!

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Ten minutes after Marie Grey dropped off her 17-year-old daughter Emily at her ballet lesson she received a call saying she had passed out in class. Rushing back to the studio, she knew from the way Emily was lying on the floor, and how one side of her face had changed, that her daughter had suffered a serious illness. As they waited for an ambulance (救护车), Emily’s condition got worse fast, becoming unconscious (无意识的) in her mother’s arms. She was taken to St George’s Hospital in south London, where she received a life-saving operation.
It was December 1, 2021. There would be no normal Christmas for the Grey family that year. It occurred at the point where Emily’s whole life lay ahead of her. In her first year studying for A-Levels at Wimbledon High School, she dreamed of becoming a doctor. And as well as dance, Emily was a talented runner for Surrey, a netball player, a ball girl at Wimbledon Tennis and a hopeful model, signed to Select Model Management.
“Life-changing” was the message Marie and her husband Ian were given. Emily’s life would never be the same. The Greys were told that Emily would never be able to stand, walk, make a movement or have a conversation. The family, however, never lost sight of Emily, even as the doctors told them brain scans (扫描) showed how deep the damage was to her thinking abilities. Marie recalls the time a well-meaning advisor sent the junior doctors out of the room, pulled the screen around Emily, herself and Ian, and explained there was a place she could go where they remove water and food, so that she could pass peacefully away. Even then the family didn’t lose hope. They visited Emily daily, holding her hand and sharing stories with her. They believed Emily’s spirit was stronger than the scans, and their love became her lifeline.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Emily’s parents did what they could to look after her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Five years later, Emily recovered slowly and worked to become a doctor. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Emily’s parents did what they could to look after her. They learned basic nursing skills, like how to turn her body to prevent bedsores. Every morning, Marie would sit by Emily’s side, reading her favorite books, which were filled with stories of hope. Ian, on the other hand, played her favorite music, believing that the melodies could reach her mind. The doctors said it was unlikely she’d wake up, but the family never gave up. They treated each small movement, like a finger twitch, as a sign of progress, which kept their hope alive.
Five years later, Emily recovered slowly and worked to become a doctor. Though she still faced challenges, like speaking clearly, she never let that stop her. She studied hard, using note-taking apps to help her remember what she learned, which was a big step for her. After graduating from medical school, she joined a hospital where she could help patients like herself. She often told new patients, “Where there’s love, there’s hope,” which became her motto. Her journey proved that even after the darkest times, light could shine through.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Emily在芭蕾课昏倒后被送医抢救,医生称其大脑受损严重,将无法站立、行走或说话,但家人未放弃,用爱陪伴,坚信她能康复。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“Emily父母尽其所能照顾她。”可知,第一段可围绕Emily父母的照料展开,描写他们仔细照料的细节,突出亲情的坚持。
②由第二段句首内容“五年后,Emily慢慢康复,努力成为一名医生。”可知,第二段可先写Emily学习过程中克服的困难,再描述她毕业后进入医院帮助同类患者的经历,体现爱与希望的力量。
2.续写线索:父母全力照料—— 家人坚守希望 —— 五年后艾米丽康复,立志成为医生 —— 克服学习与生活挑战 ——毕业行医 —— 传递信念
3.词汇激活

①学习护理技能:learn basic nursing skills/acquire fundamental care techniques
