There may be many distractions (分心事) during ten years. To become a successful student, you have to say “no” to them. 1 The following are some tips you can try. Remember that school is important. The truth is that school is important. 2 Even if you decide not to go to college, school does help a lot socially. It’s important to have fun and have lots of activities, but school should always be your number one work. Never take homework and tests lightly. 3 Make sure you have everything you need. If your teacher likes to lecture, have a notebook to help you remember. Keep papers in order. They’ll be easier to find later. If your binder (活页夹) starts to get full, put old papers into another binder to keep at home. This way you won’t have to put them around, but they will be there when studying for tests. Make friends. There’s too much going on to worry about: who’s friends with whom, who the popular people are. The best thing to do is be friendly to and with everyone. 4 Get into the habit of saying “Hi” to people and not being afraid to talk to new classmates. The more comfortable you become with people, the more people will like you. Take part in a sport. It’s easy to forget to stay in shape when the work becomes more, so joining a team makes it less worry. If you’re going for all three seasons, that’s great, but make sure you’re being practical with your time. Try your hardest at both your sport and your schoolwork and you should be more than great. 5 A．Make a plan. B．Stay organized. C．Be confident and be yourself. D．You need it to get into a good college and later get a good career that will support you for the rest of your life. E．Make friends with someone who takes school seriously. F．It may be hard, but hard work always pays off. G．You’re healthy and on top of your schoolwork. Passage 2 Want to encourage more of your students to continue their history studies to GCSE? We’ve highlighted five great reasons to study history — all five are transferable skills that future employers will value highly. It will make them more critical thinkers. One of the greatest gifts that history gives students is critical thinking. Those on either side often view historical events differently, and students will learn this. And they will learn that even historians looking back on events in the past will have their own biases (偏见). 6 This skill is significant for life and will provide great value to employers and students themselves. It will help them to understand the world around them. They’ll understand the impact of history on society, develop a greater appreciation of other cultures and develop perspective. 7 This helps them become open-minded global citizens who value diversity and inclusivity, which is increasingly important to employers. It will make them better communicators. Students studying history must reflect on the way language is used. They must also look for bias in language used to present historical events. 8 . They will have a deep understanding of how and why different opinions and perspectives exist. 9 . History will help your students to develop their data handling and processing skills. They’ll be able to analyze the data in front of them to reach an evidence-based conclusion. It will make them better at time management. Students will have lots of opportunities to improve their time management skills through research, coursework, and essay questions in exams. There’s no doubt that history requires a lot of work. 10 . These skills are important in all aspects of life. A．But managing their workload now will help develop time management skills for adulthood. B．It will make them better at processing data. C．It will make them avoid making the same mistakes again. D．These detailed language studies sharpen students’ skills for precise communication. E．Therefore, it’s important to find different viewpoints and form their own opinions. F．Then this poster is for you. G．Finally, they’ll have a better understanding of why the world is as it is right now. Passage 3 Sometimes, you are not good at some of your subjects. 11 You probably think you will never be a top student. However, anyone can become a better student if you want to. Here’s how: Plan your time carefully. When you plan your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First, your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc., then decide a good, regular time for studying. 12 A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time. Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. Make good use of your time in class. 13 Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teachers say. Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, and read the material. 14 . 15 The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. It helps you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried. There are other methods that might help you with your study. You will probably discover them after you have tried these. A．Maybe you are an average student. B．These will help you understand the next class. C．Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. D．No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard. E．Develop a good attitude about tests. F．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. G．Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teachers say in class. Passage 4 School days mean homework, studying, exams, and social interactions — not to mention getting up early every morning. It’s understandable if you don’t always feel your happiest going to school during the week. 16 The following tips can help you feel happier on school days. Focus on the good things about school. 17 Think about the bigger picture and how your education will have a positive impact on your life in the long run. If you’re having a bad day, tell yourself that you only have to be in school for a relatively short period of your life. After that, the sky is the limit! 18 Making other people smile can improve your own happiness. Give another student some positive encouragement. Or, thank a teacher for a fun activity or an interesting lesson. If you see someone else that looks like they might be feeling down, tell them you like their hair style or praise the work they have done. Try not to take negativity from others too hard. 19 Try to remember that nobody is perfect and think about what might be going on in their lives that makes them act negatively towards you. Try your best to sweep away a dirty look or a bad comment and move on with your day not getting angry and upset. Reward yourself. Once you get that big A on your exam or work, don’t forget to go out and celebrate! It’s always great to reward yourself when you do something good especially when it will benefit your future in so many ways! Always believe that you can and you will go a long way! No one can change your future other than you. 20 A．Smile more often. B．Do something nice for someone. C．But it’s also something you can totally improve! D．If someone isn’t nice to you at school, it’s probably not your fault. E．A little positive thinking can go a long way towards improving your mood. F．Whether in school or at home, you may look for ways to make learning more enjoyable. G．Do the best of what you have and try your hardest, also try to have some fun along the way. 话题2 家庭生活 Passage 1 Amy Geddes is a Scottish farmer and mother of two, living on the family farm where she grew up with her parents and brother. Since she had a younger brother, she was never encouraged to follow a career in farming. 21 Yet now she is balancing the responsibilities of being a parent and running a farm, while trying to spare time for her own interests. Growing up, Amy did help out on the farm at busy times, but later left home to study Rural Business Management in Aberdeen. After graduating, she worked in a local office helping with land and farm management. She said, “Instead of going straight into farming, I spent 15 years in related (相关的) roles and learned so much. 22 .” Amy returned home to the farm after marriage. Soon, her first daughter was born. Five years ago, her family changed houses with her parents and they have lived there ever since. Her husband and she work at home managing the farm. 23 However, she finally feels settled (适应的) and confident. She said balancing farming and parenting is both challenging and meaningful. 24 “I have been lucky to be able to keep horses on the farm, which has made it possible for me to enjoy riding since I was a little girl,” said Amy. She joined the local Pony Club at 9 years old and never looked back. “Being on horseback has helped me through hard times and brought me comfort.” Both of Amy’s daughters share her passion (热爱) for horses. They often enjoy the simple pleasure of riding around the farm and watching the wildlife together. Moreover, the girls have started attending competitions. “They had great fun and success at their first show. 25 In the years ahead, perhaps we will compete in such games together,” said Amy. A．It is a busy task much of the time. B．Amy also has a hobby she truly treasures. C．I spent much time considering my future. D．The experience provided me with different skills. E．Their performance also awakened my sporting spirit. F．Free time has been valuable since my girls were born. G．And she never thought she’d take over the family business. Passage 2 Communication is important in all families. Families with healthy communication form strong connections with one another. 26 . Actually talk. 27 For instance, in addition to answering “Fine” when your parents ask how school went, try adding an anecdote (轶事) about the day. This will help when you need to talk about the big things. Ask them about their day. This one can help you with the first point. 28 . If they’re stay-home parents, ask them about how the day at home went. Such small talk won’t be small to them. It’ll be a big deal, and they’ll appreciate it. Do the small things. When we say small things, we mean things like helping clear the dinner table, helping put away groceries, and not leaving personal belongings around the house. Those are little things, all of them. 29 , which can make things between you and your parents better. Do the big things. What we mean here is the basic stuff you hear from adults all the time — show up for school, or be respectful to teachers. 30 . That will be okay, because — based on tips 1-2 — you’ll be able to communicate about those things, clear up misunderstandings, and do better next time. Tell them you love them If you say that and hug them, well — you win. A．This tip will make them seem more real to you. B．We know you’re not perfect and you will make mistakes. C．But, if you do those things, you’ll build up lots of goodwill. D．This means taking part in real conversations with your parents. E．It’s never too late to open those lines of communication back up. F．The following tips can improve your communication with parents. G．If they are workers, ask about their jobs. Passage 3 It started with a whisper. “Everyone else got one,” my daughter said to me, her eyes locked on the floor. “I was the only one who didn’t.” 31 The one everyone was talking about in the lunch line and on the walk home. The one that she heard would have unlimited cupcakes. The one she didn’t get an invitation to. There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that happens when your child feels excluded (排除在外的). You don’t just witness their disappointment; you absorb it. 32 “I’m sure it wasn’t personal,” I said softly. “Sometimes kids are only allowed to invite a few people.” But the words felt weak, like a Band-Aid on a big and deep cut. This experience could have easily been about how to handle exclusion as a parent — how to build resilience (韧性). But what I've learned is less clean than that. 33 You can’t smooth every rough edge. Sometimes, your job is just to sit beside your kid in the thick of it. To let them cry.to let yourself feel angry, and to know that fixing it isn’t always the assignment. 34 She wrote a little note for the birthday kid. “Happy birthday,” it read. “Hope you have fun.” No bitterness. Just kindness. My daughter, in all her smallness, did what I hadn’t even figured out how to do yet: move forward without letting the hurt define her. And maybe that's the only real takeaway I have. That sometimes, our kids teach us the wisdom we’re still trying to learn. She never got that invitation. But what we gained quietly was something else: the chance to walk through disappointment together, hand in hand. 35 A．After all, honesty is the best policy. B．Part of parenting is being powerless. C．At first, I tried to say something to comfort her. D．I encouraged her to show forgiveness to the kid. E．And that, to me, feels like something worth celebrating. F．The birthday party was definitely to be one to remember. G．What surprised me most was what happened the next day. Passage 4 Dad is a busy mechanic. Every Saturday he puts on his apron and produces delicious bread. 36 I’ve been feeling stressed out myself as I found out I didn’t qualify for the swim team. Now I’ll have to wait a whole year to try out again. I think Dad knew how I felt, so this Saturday he invited me to help him bake. Dad first got out everything needed, and then told me to mix the ingredients (配料) with a spoon. After that he showed me how to knead the dough (揉面团). 37 It took only ten minutes but a surprising amount of energy to complete. Next came the most difficult part — doing nothing. 38 Then punched (捶打) it down and waited for it to rise again. Dad said the waiting is always the hardest part as you have to resist the thought of putting the dough directly into the oven. 39 Silence is like the dough that rises and fills a room with emptiness unless you punch it down with words. It felt good to listen and share our thoughts. 40 The dough would rise at its own pace. We could do nothing to make it rise faster. I learned how to bake, and I also learned to appreciate the slowly ticking rhythm of time, to relax and let the bread rise. A．I think he bakes to relax. B．While we waited, we sat and talked. C．We waited for the dough to slowly swell up. D．It was a simple task but required some strength. E．I was so eager to taste the bread we made together. F．Dad always enjoys sharing his baking skills with me. G．As the flour dust quietly settled, time seemed to slow down. 话题3 社会关系 Passage 1 The Unexpected Gift It was a freezing December afternoon when I noticed an old man struggling with grocery bags at a bus stop. Snowflakes danced in the air as his thin coat shook in the wind, revealing worn-out clothes. His wrinkled hands shook visibly while trying to secure a slipping bag of oranges. 41 Without thinking, I turned back and lifted two heaviest bags. His surprised smile exposed several missing teeth, but his eyes shone like polished stones. On the crowded bus, he told me in a dry voice how his wife had passed away last spring, leaving him alone in a small apartment. As the bus approached Pine Street, he suddenly grasped my shoulder. 42 “For your kindness,” he whispered, pressing something cold into my hand before disappearing into the snow. Opening my hand under a streetlight, I froze. 43 A silver pocket watch with delicate leaf patterns lay polished and bright; its chain lay loosely like a sleeping snake. The Roman numerals (数字) on its face reminded me of my grandfather’s clock. After three hours of online searching, I discovered it was a 1920s collector’s item. My throat tightened seeing auction (拍卖) listings with prices that could cover my college textbooks for two years. 44 There was no question about what I needed to do. 45 But the weeping neighbor told me that the old man had passed away peacefully in his favorite armchair, holding a photo of his late wife. A．I rushed to his building at dawn. B．Something warm arose in my chest. C．I almost continued walking to catch my movie. D．“Young man,” he said with unexpected firmness. E．Guilt and curiosity fought in my mind all evening. F．What I saw under the shining light took my breath away. G．His apartment building smelled of boiled cabbage and old books. Passage 2 While few may be aware, some student groups at the University of Rochester have long employed devoted chefs. Chef Joshua King is one of them. His role is more than just cooking. 46 . A Rochester native, King has served as one of student groups, Psi U's chef since 2019. Hired through Harvest Table or Aramark(a requirement for student groups with functional kitchens), he prepares two daily meals—lunch (11 a. m. -2 p. m. )and dinner (4:30 p. m. -7 p. m. )—Monday to Friday. 47 . Therefore no fixed recipes allow him to innovate based on students’ preferences. King emphasizes tailored care. Initially, he interviewed every student to note allergies (过敏) and dietary restrictions, even preparing separate dishes to avoid infection. He also adapts menus to preferences, such as protein-rich options for fitness-focused members. 48 . For instance, crafting butter chicken with basmati (印度香米) rice at Indian students’ request, aiming to “bring a taste of home” to the house. 49 . When King’s daughter Julieana, battling a natural heart defect, died, they organized a GoFundMe for medical and funeral costs and hosted a house event(with $5 entry donations to the fund). Daily, students seek his life advice, and have meals with him—filled with conversation, laughter, and music—strengthening their bond. As junior Maxim Giller notes, King is seen as“an honored brother”and a foundation of their happiness. More than a workplace, Psi U has become King’s “second home”. His journey reflects the essence of student groups:lifelong brotherhood.   50 —through cook-offs, campus events, or catering— while cherishing his current role as a beloved, honored member. As King puts it, “Once a brother, you’re always a brother. ” A．His role grants creative freedom B．The Psi U’s students repay his care C．His work starts at 6 a. m. every day D．King has a daughter with heart disease E．It’s about creating a home away from home F．A“request board”further bridges cultural gaps G．Looking ahead, he hopes group chefs gain greater campus recognition Passage 3 Tom Brown’s hands move fast, tying loose shoelaces (鞋带) as the morning bell rings. Tom works at a small table outside Central High’s front door. An old box sits next to him. 51 “Hurry up, kid—don’t be late for class,” he smiles, giving back a pair of shoes to a first-year student, who says a quick “thanks” and runs inside. At 6:00 a.m., Tom is there, carrying the table from the storage room. 52 He’s always wearing a faded blue jacket with signs from years of different jobs—fixing cars, putting up walls and roofs, and now this. “These kids are in such a rush that they don’t see their shoelaces are broken until it’s too late,” he laughs, remembering how he started 12 years ago. He saw a girl crying because her shoelace broke before a big P.E. test. 53 Lily Smith, a senior, comes by twice a week. “My little sister’s shoelaces always get broken, and Mr. Brown fixes them in two minutes,” she says, adjusting her bag. “He remembers everyone’s name. It’s like having a grandpa at school.” Tom never asks for money, but students leave him candy, or drawings. 54 His wife died five years ago, and his grown kids live in other states. “Being here keeps me feeling young,” he says, wiping a dirty shoe. 55 But just ask any student or teacher—Tom is often the first person they see when they walk in each day. “Quit? No way,” he says happily, waving to a group of 10th graders. “These shoes won’t fix themselves.” A．He is well-known in the school. B．Tom isn’t on the school staff list. C．He thinks that this is the best kind of pay. D．Tom has formed the habit of seeing students off at the door. E．No matter whether it rains or shines, the 68-year-old comes. F．He got down on his knees and fixed it with a lace from his own shoe. G．Inside it are extra laces, cleaning cloths, and even little packs of tissues. Passage 4 A Piggyback Ride from a Stranger Once a year, Bannister climbs to High Rock Lookout where she scattered her mother’s ashes 23 years ago. 56 Last August, Bannister, then 79, went on her own, figuring she’d be fine because she’s an experienced hiker. She arrived at the trail early and made her way to the lookout. As she headed back down, her foot got caught in a hole in the ground. 57 When sitting up, she knew immediately she had broken her leg. She cried out for help, and before long, a stranger approached and called 911. They were told a search and rescue team would arrive in five hours. “It wasn’t very encouraging,” Bannister says. “I asked if anyone had painkillers, because the pain was pretty substantial then.” 58 But two young men, Troy May, an Air Force airman and his friend Layton Allen, came over to see what was going on. When seeing Bannister in extreme pain, they offered to carry her to the bottom of the trail. May eased Bannister onto his back and started hiking downward. He carried her for most of the nearly three-hour journey, and Allen carried her for the rest. “That was just one kindness,” says Bannister. 59 One, a physical therapist, bandaged Bannister’s foot and built a makeshift splint (夹板) for her leg. The other did breathing exercises with her to help calm her. During the long hike down, her rescuers shared stories to distract her from the mounting pain. Once reaching the parking lot, they rushed Bannister to the nearest hospital. 60 “I think we’ll be lifelong friends,” Bannister says. A．She was almost in despair. B．No one in the surrounding area did. C．She fell forward against all expectations. D．A couple hiking that day also lent a hand. E．They have visited her several times afterwards. F．Therefore, she visited there regularly in honor of her. G．She usually hikes with someone along the 3.2-mile trail. 话题4 运动与健康 Passage 1 I keep a list of things that are underappreciated, and in the sports category, one stands above all others: Ping-Pong. Studies have shown that it requires rapid decision-making that activates diverse regions of the brain and increases blood. 61 But what truly sets Ping-Pong apart is its openness to all people. 62 and physical condition matter little. Instead, individuals of different fitness levels can compete equally in sports activity. Whether you’re young or old, tall or short, thin or heavy, everyone has a shot at glory (荣誉). 63 . For another thing, perhaps no sport has lower cost to participate in. If you can’t find a Ping-Pong bat in your storage room, an acceptably good one can be bought for about $20, or a set of four, with net and balls thrown in, for less than $50. 64 In a difficult situation, you don’t even need a table. One of China’s first great players sharpened his skills on the front door of his family’s home, which he would take off the door every morning and replace at the end of the day. Ping-Pong is an open and easy-to-start activity that benefits players both physically and mentally. 65 Why not give it a go and discover the potential in table tennis for yourself? A．The game can be played on any table of reasonable size. B．First of all, we can enjoy great benefits from playing sports. C．For one thing, the game is an equal-opportunity activity. D．With simple equipment and rules, it is a hidden treasure for personal and community well-being. E．For example, a legendary American player was winning medals at national championships in his second decade, as well as his seventh. F．Ping-Pong is not just a hobby but a good way to experience life for her. G．It also helps reduce stress and slow down dementia (痴呆). Passage 2 Running is a great way to achieve your fitness goals. Millions of people run often because of its benefits. It is also one of the simplest forms of exercise. 66 The answer is “Yes”. Here are some of the major benefits of running in the morning. 67 One of the biggest benefits for morning runners is that their level of focus during a morning session will be higher than that of a mid-afternoon run. The main reason is that since you just get out of bed, you’re likely to have fewer thoughts clouding your head. This helps you get the most out of this exercise. It helps improve your mental health. You can view a morning run as an investment (投资) in your body. This creates a sense of self-worth and achievement. Running outside is particularly helpful. It can give you time to take in the beautiful sights of nature. There won’t be many people or cars around in the morning. 68 It puts you in a better mood (心情) for the new day. 69 But what you may not know is that you can use this to your advantage. Studies show that running can cause your body to release chemicals that make you feel good. These good feelings help you start the day feeling positive. You can keep energetic all day. 70 Then hit the track early in the morning. When you run in the morning, your body gets a natural energy boost that lasts all day. It helps you feel more energetic and ready for whatever the day brings. A．Do you need to improve your energy? B．You can focus on your running better. C．It improves your productivity for the day. D．As a result, you can enjoy a peaceful run and feel more relaxed. E．You already know running has a direct impact on mental health. F．The question today is whether there is a time that is best for running. G．You’d better look for a safe and peaceful place to start your morning run. Passage 3 Although running indoors on a treadmill (跑步机)is comfortable, many runners prefer to train outdoors because it allows them to enjoy nature sights. 71 But running outdoors shows some challenges. Be careful of the following things. 72 Many runners make the mistake of setting their speeds inaccurately(不准确地)when running outdoors. This is especially true for those who are used to running indoors. How can you learn your running level? Regularly choose different speeds and learn about your feelings and performance. How do you feel about jogging, racing and sprinting(短跑)speeds? Also, train to alternate(交替)these speeds to make the routine more challenging. Adapt to the weather. Remember that running outdoors is different from running indoors on a treadmill. In the winter, you may run more on the treadmill. Treadmills are a soft surface. When the winter is over and you want to run outdoors again, you need to give your body enough time to get used to the outdoors again. 73 Wear the right shoes. Avoid wearing bad running shoes with worn-out material. If the material is already worn out, it can no longer provide you with the support your feet need for running. 74 Also, make sure you choose the right shoes-shoes designed specifically for the challenges of running. Stay patient and work for results. No matter how hard you train, you won’t see results overnight. You need to be patient. 75 Take your time to make progress and expect challenges. A．Know your speed. B．Break your old habit. C．Replace old running shoes quickly. D．A change of scenery can also improve their feeling. E．A pair of good shoes can do wonders. F．Give your body time to get used to different surfaces. G．Don’t expect your desired results to happen quickly. Passage 4 If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them. However, there are other things you need to think about if you want to be a good sports player. 76 . It’s a common mistake for young athletes to want to jump into the advanced stuff quickly. This isn’t an effective way to spend training time. You need a firm basis before you move on to bigger things. If you’re new to a sport, take as much time as you need to get the basic movements down properly. 77 . Get enough sleep. This one should come as obvious. This is especially true during times of intense practice or training, where things get so busy that it becomes hard to push everything into a regular day. However, your body needs its full rest. 78 . If you’re an adult, get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Set ambitious but realistic goals for yourself. Setting ambitious goals does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year. 79 , and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal, and break it down into smaller parts if the goal is especially big. Stay focused on the game. You won’t get anywhere if you’re worried about something else happening in your life. Life is always complex, and there may be things in your personal life that are bothering you. However, at least for the course of the game, you can’t let any of that stuff get to you. 80 . But if winning the game means a lot to you, then you should keep your eyes on the prize. A．Put basics first B．Let yourself have fun C．It may be easier said than done D．Instead, you should take a look at what you are E．This is especially true if you want to be a great coach F．If you’re a teen, you should sleep 8-10 hours each night G．It will make advanced skills a lot easier to master in the long run 话题5 节日与习俗 Passage 1 Calligraphy, as an important part of Chinese culture, was an ancient art of writing words aesthetically (审美地). 81 Regular practice of calligraphy can have many benefits for the individuals and culture. In order to practise calligraphy, we need to know how to use the pen to create each stroke (笔画) of the characters, which activates (激活) the motor areas of the brain. At the same time, the language areas are also engaged. Studies have shown that children remember the spelling of a word much better when they are writing the word out by hand. Practicing calligraphy can improve hand-eye coordination (协调) and fine motor skills. 82 Besides the physical influence, the practice of calligraphy can be linked to various mental health benefits. Good mental health covers social, emotional, and psychological well-being. 83 It can help to calm the mind and focus, allowing the calligrapher to enter a state of mindful awareness and look inward to reflect on their heart and minds. When creating beautiful characters, individuals can place their emotions into the art form, achieving a sense of achievement. Calligraphy has its traditional and cultural significance. Chinese calligraphy is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and history, showing the values and ideals of traditional Chinese society. Through this art form, calligrapher can develop a deeper appreciation for the cultural heritage and aesthetics. 84 The beauty of a well-written character can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of their cultural background. In this way, calligraphy serves as a bridge across cultures between different worlds. So the practice of calligraphy can serve as a means of protecting and promoting traditional Chinese art forms. 85 A．It is also a form of communication. B．So it can improve a person’s confidence. C．Today, it is still considered to be an art form. D．Calligraphy provides a way for emotional expression E．Calligraphers have their styles, techniques of creating F．And it ensures they are passed down from generation to generation. G．So practising calligraphy is good for the individuals’ physical health. Passage 2 Advertisements are almost everywhere in our lives. 86 But before there was mass media (大众媒体), how did the ancient Chinese advertise their goods(商品)? The purpose of advertising, after all, is to attract customers’ attention. 87 More than 2,000 years ago, Qu Yuan wrote the poem Heavenly Questions (《天问》). It mentions (提及) a man who sells meat in a market. He “knocked his knife on the table to make a sound”. This was an easy way to draw people’s attention. 88 In the Song Dynasty, sellers used clever rhymes (押韵) to market their goods. They even adapted tunes (改编曲调) and wrote lyrics (歌词) to make it an art form. In addition, some sellers asked famous people for help. Strategies of the Warring States (《战国策》) mentions the story of a horse seller. At first, he brought his horses to the market and shouted to the crowd about the good quality of his horses. 89 Later, the man came up with a good idea. He went to Bo Le, a famous local horse expert (专家), and said to him, “Could you visit my stall (摊位) and look at my horses? I’ll pay you for it.” Bo Le agreed. He went to the seller’s stall and showed his “interest” in the horses. Other people in the market quickly gathered around. 90 How effective this way of advertising was! A．However, no one was interested. B．This was also true in ancient times. C．Soon, every horse in the stall had a buyer. D．Ancient people’s ways of advertising were simpler. E．Ancient people created songs to advertise their goods. F．Another simple way to advertise was to shout about the quality of one’s goods. G．We see them on smartphone apps, TVs, and big screens in shopping malls. Passage 3 Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. 91 Since the Warring States Period (战国时期), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. 92 And sugar, the expensive product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. 93 Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done. 94 The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. 95 A．But they’re too expensive for many to buy. B．It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. C．To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. D．However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. E．So the art should be remembered, missed and passed on. F．Because this art form with a long history is popular with people of all ages. G．In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. Passage 4 The animated series “Boonie Bears” has become a cultural phenomenon in China, offering more than just entertainment for young audiences. Through its engaging stories and relatable characters, it subtly imparts valuable life lessons. Below are some key educational aspects of the show:   Environmental Education   The forest setting and the conflict between the bears and Logger Vick introduce children to ecological concepts. 96 This early exposure helps shape their awareness of environmental protection.   Moral Development   The show clearly distinguishes between right and wrong, often using humor to highlight the consequences of bad behavior. 97 Such storytelling encourages children to reflect on their own actions.   Social Skills and Intelligence   The bear brothers’ adventures emphasize teamwork and creative problem-solving. 98 These lessons are especially useful for children learning to navigate social relationships.   Resilience and Positivity   Even in difficult situations, the characters maintain a lighthearted attitude. 99 This approach teaches young viewers to face challenges with optimism.   Cultural Connection   Unlike many Western cartoons, “Boonie Bears” incorporates Chinese traditions and customs. 100 This helps children appreciate their cultural heritage in a fun and accessible way.   While the series has faced criticism for early exaggerated violence, recent adaptations have shifted toward more educational themes. Overall, “Boonie Bears” succeeds in blending entertainment with meaningful life lessons. A．By showing how teamwork leads to success, it promotes collaboration over aggression. B．Logger Vick’s later transformation teaches kids that people can change for the better. C．The humorous struggles of the characters make setbacks seem less intimidating. D．Scenes of deforestation and animal habitats being destroyed deliver a strong message. E．Research shows that children who watch educational cartoons perform better in school. F．Elements like the Lunar New Year and folk tales appear in various episodes. G．Some parents worry that the action scenes might encourage reckless behavior. 话题6 文学与文化 Passage 1 In the noisy subway, Li Zining is focused on the audiobook of “The Three-Body Problem.” She is part of Generation Z, digital natives. Similar to many, she prefers e-books and audio-books over traditional ones. This generation, making up nearly one-fifth of China’s population, is more likely to download e-books onto their devices than to visit bookstores or libraries. 101 Platforms like WeChat Reading and Zhangyue have many Gen Z users who spend hours immersed in online literature. They share reviews and comments on social media, follow “book bloggers”, and seek “reading buddies”. 102 She finds e-reading very flexible and cost-effective. She often shares her thoughts on books through social media, which allows her to connect with other readers and discover new titles. Gen Z readers actively follow “book bloggers” and engage with their content. They appreciate the insights and discussions these bloggers provide. 103 Thus, it enhances a sense of community and interaction. 104 Xiao Xia, a college student, finds that reading with a friend helps keep schedules on track and offers fresh perspectives. On platforms like WeChat Reading, users can interact with others by highlighting and commenting on specific sentences. This interactive feature enhances reading experience and a sense of community. Traditional publishers are now embracing the digital flow, using big data to target readers and livestreaming to launch new titles, further integrating the digital and traditional worlds of literature. 105 They embrace digital platforms and interactive reading experiences, making it more accessible and engaging than ever before. A．Some traditional readers prefer physical books, unlike Gen Z. B．Physical bookstores still matter, but Gen Z favors digital platforms. C．For instance, Chen Wenting is a subscriber to some reading apps. D．Finding like-minded “reading friends” is popular among Gen Z readers. E．They have a tendency to share their thoughts and comments on social media. F．Overall, Generation Z are transforming the landscape of literature and reading. G．These preferences are reflected in their reading habits and interactions with media. Passage 2 Reading is not just an important professional skill. It is also a way to enjoy informative, creative, and inspiring works of literature that enrich our life experiences. 106 To form the habit, practicing good reading skills is a must. 107 When you read, read for the main idea of each paragraph, along with its supporting reasons. When you are building up reading skills, it can be helpful to read with a pencil in hand to take notes or underline the key idea of each paragraph. Look up unfamiliar words. It is quite normal to meet with some unfamiliar words when reading. Merriam Webster online is a wonderful and thorough resource for defining unfamiliar words. 108 When you reach a good stopping point, return to each word and look it up, re-reading the sentence it appeared in. This helps understand the word and its usage in case there are different meanings. Become familiar with literary devices (手法). Particularly if you are a fan of novels and short stories, becoming familiar with common literary tools like metaphor, simile, parallel structure and personification is an important part being a better reader. 109 Don’t rush. Reading for learning and enjoyment is never a sprint (冲刺). Instead, take your time, advance your skills and their development at your own pace. 110 Each day, as you read, your mind will take the reading skills it learned before and apply them again, often with greater efficiency. A．Read for content. B．Read to get the author’s attitude. C．You will be an excellent reader if you stick. D．Simply underline or make a list of these words. E．Understanding them can enrich the reading experience greatly. F．Do not get discouraged if you are a slow reader, especially at first. G．Like any skill worth mastering, a reading habit requires time to develop. Passage 3 Reading isn’t just a method of gaining information; it’s a powerful tool that can enrich your inner world and improve your quality of life. However, not everyone can fully benefit from books because of improper reading techniques or a lack of concentration. 111 The first, and maybe the most important step toward effective reading is creating a suitable environment. Choose a comfortable place: a cozy sofa, a comfortable chair, or a great bed. 112 Too bright can harm your eyes, while too dim (昏暗的) can make you sleepy. Aim to read in conditions free from noises that could break your focus. Before diving into a book, make yourself familiar with its structure and table of contents. 113 For example. If you’re reading a popular science book, go through its chapters quickly to get an idea of the central themes. This not only speeds up the reading but also improves your understanding of the material. 114 Spare time for reading every day — this could be in the morning before work or in the evening before bed. For instance, you could develop a habit of reading for 20 minutes before going to sleep to relax and prepare for rest. It’s been proven that regular reading helps reduce stress levels, improve people’s states of mind, and even better their cognitive (认知的) abilities. 115 By following these simple strategies, you’ll not only make reading more enjoyable but also increase your efficiency (效率), turning the act into a true pleasure and a means of personal development. A．Make sure the lighting is just right. B．Think of it as a training for your brain. C．Identify what you need to find in the text. D．This will help you grasp the main ideas and key points. E．It’s important to master a few effective reading strategies. F．Equally important is making reading a part of your daily routine. G．Practice reading speed, increasing the amount you read in a set time. Passage 4 How to Make Reading a Daily Habit Do you love books but struggle with how to build a reading habit? Here’s how to make reading a daily joy without feeling overwhelmed Start small. If you’re wondering how to build a reading habit, the key is to start small and stay consistent(始终如一的). 116 Start with just 5-10 minutes a day-during breakfast, in the car, or before bed. Small steps lead to big habits Even reading just a few pages a day can add up over time and help you develop a consistent routine. Always have a book handy. 117 When you have a few spare minutes, you’ll be more likely to reach for a book instead of browsing on your phone. Having easy access to a book ensures that reading becomes a natural part of your daily life. Choose books that excite you. Read what truly interests you. Loving what you read makes the habit stick. Don’t force yourself to read something just because it’s popular. 118 Try audiobooks(有声读物). Too busy to sit and read? 119 I am not too fond of audiobooks but that’s just me. I know of book lovers who feel it’s a great way to fit audiobooks into one’s routine effortlessly. Audiobooks can also bring stories to life with interesting tellings, making them an excellent alternative for multitaskers. 120 Before bed, trade your phone for a book. Reducing screen time helps you sleep better-and you get to enjoy a great story before falling asleep. Limiting social media and TV time can free up more moments for reading. A．Use screen time for reading. B．Trade screen time for page time. C．You don’t need hours to be a reader. D．Hours are essential to becoming a true reader. E．Listen to audiobooks while driving, cooking, or working out. F．Keep a book in your bag, on your phone, or on your bedside table. G．Instead, focus on books that truly arouse your curiosity and excitement. $专题02 七选五6大常考话题 话题1 学校生活 话题4 运动与健康 话题2 家庭生活 话题5 节日与习俗 话题3 社会关系 话题6 文学与文化 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 话题1 学校生活 Passage 1 How to Be a Successful High School Student Being a successful high school student requires both patience and power.

And they will learn that even historians looking back on events in the past will have their own biases (偏见). 6 This skill is significant for life and will provide great value to employers and students themselves. It will help them to understand the world around them. They’ll understand the impact of history on society, develop a greater appreciation of other cultures and develop perspective. 7 This helps them become open-minded global citizens who value diversity and inclusivity, which is increasingly important to employers. It will make them better communicators. Students studying history must reflect on the way language is used. They must also look for bias in language used to present historical events. 8 . They will have a deep understanding of how and why different opinions and perspectives exist. 9 . History will help your students to develop their data handling and processing skills. They’ll be able to analyze the data in front of them to reach an evidence-based conclusion. It will make them better at time management. Students will have lots of opportunities to improve their time management skills through research, coursework, and essay questions in exams. There’s no doubt that history requires a lot of work. 10 .

Since she had a younger brother, she was never encouraged to follow a career in farming. 21 Yet now she is balancing the responsibilities of being a parent and running a farm, while trying to spare time for her own interests. Growing up, Amy did help out on the farm at busy times, but later left home to study Rural Business Management in Aberdeen. After graduating, she worked in a local office helping with land and farm management. She said, “Instead of going straight into farming, I spent 15 years in related (相关的) roles and learned so much. 22 .” Amy returned home to the farm after marriage. Soon, her first daughter was born. Five years ago, her family changed houses with her parents and they have lived there ever since. Her husband and she work at home managing the farm. 23 However, she finally feels settled (适应的) and confident. She said balancing farming and parenting is both challenging and meaningful. 24 “I have been lucky to be able to keep horses on the farm, which has made it possible for me to enjoy riding since I was a little girl,” said Amy. She joined the local Pony Club at 9 years old and never looked back. “Being on horseback has helped me through hard times and brought me comfort.” Both of Amy’s daughters share her passion (热爱) for horses. They often enjoy the simple pleasure of riding around the farm and watching the wildlife together. Moreover, the girls have started attending competitions. “They had great fun and success at their first show. 25 In the years ahead, perhaps we will compete in such games together,” said Amy. A．It is a busy task much of the time. B．Amy also has a hobby she truly treasures. C．I spent much time considering my future. D．The experience provided me with different skills. E．Their performance also awakened my sporting spirit. F．Free time has been valuable since my girls were born.

Families with healthy communication form strong connections with one another. 26 . Actually talk. 27 For instance, in addition to answering “Fine” when your parents ask how school went, try adding an anecdote (轶事) about the day. This will help when you need to talk about the big things. Ask them about their day. This one can help you with the first point. 28 . If they’re stay-home parents, ask them about how the day at home went. Such small talk won’t be small to them. It’ll be a big deal, and they’ll appreciate it. Do the small things. When we say small things, we mean things like helping clear the dinner table, helping put away groceries, and not leaving personal belongings around the house. Those are little things, all of them. 29 , which can make things between you and your parents better. Do the big things. What we mean here is the basic stuff you hear from adults all the time — show up for school, or be respectful to teachers. 30 . That will be okay, because — based on tips 1-2 — you’ll be able to communicate about those things, clear up misunderstandings, and do better next time. Tell them you love them If you say that and hug them, well — you win. A．This tip will make them seem more real to you. B．We know you’re not perfect and you will make mistakes. C．But, if you do those things, you’ll build up lots of goodwill. D．This means taking part in real conversations with your parents. E．It’s never too late to open those lines of communication back up. F．The following tips can improve your communication with parents. G．If they are workers, ask about their jobs. 【答案】26．F 27．D 28．G 29．C 30．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了能帮助青少年改善与家长的沟通几点建议。 26．分析设空，位于首段段尾，应点出本文主题，引出下文；根据前文“Communication is important in all families. Families with healthy communication form strong connections with one another.(沟通在所有家庭中都很重要。健康沟通的家庭彼此之间形成牢固的联系)”可知，提到沟通对于所有家庭都很重要，所以F项“The following tips can improve your communication with parents.(下面的建议可以提高你与父母的沟通)”承接上文，点出主题引领下文，符合语境。故选F项。 27．设空处位于段首句；根据后文“For instance, in addition to answering “Fine” when your parents ask how school went, try adding an anecdote (轶事) about the day. This will help when you need to talk about the big things.(例如，当你的父母问你学校过得怎么样时，除了回答“很好”之外，试着加上一件关于当天的轶事。当你需要谈论大事时，这将会有所帮助)”可知，本段主要讲述了要与父母真正地有内容的交谈，而非表面上的闲聊或敷衍。所以D项“This means taking part in real conversations with your parents.(这意味着和你的父母进行真实的对话)”符合本段主旨，该选项阐述了小标题“Actually talk.(真正地交谈)”所要表达的意思，选项中的代词“This”指代小标题。故选D项。 28．根据本段小标题“Ask them about their day.(问问他们这一天过得怎么样)”，以及根据后文“If they’re stay-home parents, ask them about how the day at home went.(如果他们是全职父母，问问他们在家里过得怎么样)”可知，此处是在举例怎么开始谈话，所以G项“If they are workers, ask about their jobs.(如果他们是工人，询问他们的工作)”符合主题，与设空处后一句的句式结构相同。故选G项。 29．根据前文“When we say small things, we mean things like helping clear the dinner table, helping put away groceries, and not leaving personal belongings around the house. Those are little things, all of them.(当我们说小事时，我们指的是帮助清理餐桌，帮助收拾杂货，不把私人物品放在家里。这些都是小事)”可知，C项“But, if you do those things, you’ll build up lots of goodwill.(但是，如果你做了这些事情，你会建立很多善意)”是在说明，做了前文所说的小事情能够带来的好的结果，且和前文构成转折关系，符合语境。故选C项。 30．根据前文“What we mean here is the basic stuff you hear from adults all the time — show up for school, or be respectful to teachers.(我们这里的意思是你一直从成年人那里听到的基本的东西——去上学，或者尊重老师)”可知，此处说明了你应该完成重要的事情，也就是你经常听成年人说到的事情，例如，好好上学、尊重老师，后文“That will be okay, because — based on tips 1-2 — you’ll be able to communicate about those things, clear up misunderstandings, and do better next time.(没关系，因为基于1-2条建议，你将能够就这些事情进行沟通，消除误解，并在下次做得更好)”指出：那也没关系，因为根据前两点建议，你能够好好沟通这些事情，消除误解，下次做得更好，所以B项“We know you’re not perfect and you will make mistakes.(我们知道你不是完美的，你会犯错误)”符合语境。下文中的“those things”指代B项中的“mistakes”。故选B项。 Passage 3 It started with a whisper. “Everyone else got one,” my daughter said to me, her eyes locked on the floor. “I was the only one who didn’t.” 31 The one everyone was talking about in the lunch line and on the walk home. The one that she heard would have unlimited cupcakes. The one she didn’t get an invitation to. There’s a particular kind of heartbreak that happens when your child feels excluded (排除在外的). You don’t just witness their disappointment; you absorb it. 32 “I’m sure it wasn’t personal,” I said softly. “Sometimes kids are only allowed to invite a few people.” But the words felt weak, like a Band-Aid on a big and deep cut. This experience could have easily been about how to handle exclusion as a parent — how to build resilience (韧性). But what I've learned is less clean than that. 33 You can’t smooth every rough edge. Sometimes, your job is just to sit beside your kid in the thick of it. To let them cry.to let yourself feel angry, and to know that fixing it isn’t always the assignment. 34 She wrote a little note for the birthday kid. “Happy birthday,” it read. “Hope you have fun.” No bitterness. Just kindness. My daughter, in all her smallness, did what I hadn’t even figured out how to do yet: move forward without letting the hurt define her. And maybe that's the only real takeaway I have. That sometimes, our kids teach us the wisdom we’re still trying to learn. She never got that invitation. But what we gained quietly was something else: the chance to walk through disappointment together, hand in hand. 35 A．After all, honesty is the best policy. B．Part of parenting is being powerless. C．At first, I tried to say something to comfort her. D．I encouraged her to show forgiveness to the kid. E．And that, to me, feels like something worth celebrating. F．The birthday party was definitely to be one to remember. G．What surprised me most was what happened the next day. 【答案】31．F 32．C 33．B 34．G 35．E 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了女儿因未收到生日派对邀请而失落，作者从中领悟到为人父母有时需陪伴孩子面对困境，且孩子的善意举动反而教会作者成长，母女共同收获了面对失望的力量。 31．根据下文“The one everyone was talking about in the lunch line and on the walk home. (午餐排队时、放学回家的路上，所有人都在谈论它。)”可推测，这个生日派对得到很多人的关注。选项F“The birthday party was definitely to be one to remember. (这个生日派对绝对是值得记住的一场。)”符合下文对派对的具体描述，逻辑连贯。故选F。 32．根据下文““I’m sure it wasn’t personal,” I said softly. “Sometimes kids are only allowed to invite a few people.” But the words felt weak, like a Band-Aid on a big and deep cut. (“我肯定这不是针对你，”我轻声说，“有时候，孩子们只能邀请少数几个人。”可这些话苍白无力，就像在一道又深又大的伤口上贴了张创可贴。)”可知，作者觉得自己的这些话很无力，像在深伤口上贴创可贴。由此可推测，空格处应体现作者试图安慰女儿的动作。选项C“At first, I tried to say something to comfort her. (起初，我试着说些话安慰她。)”直接引出后文的安慰话语，符合“先尝试安慰，再描述安慰内容及效果”的逻辑顺序。故选C。 33．上文“This experience could have easily been about how to handle exclusion as a parent — how to build resilience (韧性). But what I've learned is less clean than that. (这段经历本可以变成一堂 “父母如何应对孩子被排斥、如何培养孩子韧性”的课程。但我从中领悟到的，远比这更复杂。)”指出这段经历本可以聚焦父母如何应对孩子被排斥、如何培养韧性，然而作者领悟到的更多；而下文“You can’t smooth every rough edge. Sometimes, your job is just to sit beside your kid in the thick of it. (你无法抚平生活所有的棱角，有时你的职责，不过是在孩子深陷困境时，静静陪在她身边。)”进一步说明父母有时候只能在困境中陪在孩子身边。选项B“Part of parenting is being powerless. (为人父母，有时本就有无能为力的时候。)”精准概括这一核心，衔接后文父母无法解决所有问题，只能陪伴的具体阐述，符合语境。故选B。 34．上文描述作者和女儿面对被排斥的当下感受与应对；而下文“She wrote a little note for the birthday kid. “Happy birthday,” it read. “Hope you have fun.” No bitterness. Just kindness. (女儿给举办生日派对的那个孩子写了张小纸条，上面写着：“生日快乐，愿你玩得开心。”没有丝毫怨怼，满是善意。)”转而讲述了女儿的善意之举。选项G“What surprised me most was what happened the next day. (最让我意外的是第二天发生的事。)”承上启下，既引出“后续事件”，又通过“surprised”暗示女儿行为的意外性，自然衔接后文的善意举动，逻辑转折合理。故选G。 35．上文“She never got that invitation. But what we gained quietly was something else: the chance to walk through disappointment together, hand in hand. (女儿终究没收到那场派对的邀请函。但我们却悄悄收获了别的东西：一次携手并肩、共同走过失望的机会。)”总结了虽然女儿没收到邀请，但母女俩共同获得了携手面对失望的机会。选项E“And that, to me, feels like something worth celebrating. (而在我看来，这份收获，足以值得庆祝。)”中“that”指代前文“共同面对失望的机会”，肯定了这段经历的意义，呼应全文“孩子教会父母智慧”的核心主旨，为文章收尾，情感积极且逻辑完整。故选E。 Passage 4 Dad is a busy mechanic. Every Saturday he puts on his apron and produces delicious bread. 36 I’ve been feeling stressed out myself as I found out I didn’t qualify for the swim team. Now I’ll have to wait a whole year to try out again. I think Dad knew how I felt, so this Saturday he invited me to help him bake. Dad first got out everything needed, and then told me to mix the ingredients (配料) with a spoon. After that he showed me how to knead the dough (揉面团). 37 It took only ten minutes but a surprising amount of energy to complete. Next came the most difficult part — doing nothing. 38 Then punched (捶打) it down and waited for it to rise again. Dad said the waiting is always the hardest part as you have to resist the thought of putting the dough directly into the oven. 39 Silence is like the dough that rises and fills a room with emptiness unless you punch it down with words. It felt good to listen and share our thoughts. 40 The dough would rise at its own pace. We could do nothing to make it rise faster. I learned how to bake, and I also learned to appreciate the slowly ticking rhythm of time, to relax and let the bread rise. A．I think he bakes to relax. B．While we waited, we sat and talked. C．We waited for the dough to slowly swell up. D．It was a simple task but required some strength. E．I was so eager to taste the bread we made together. F．Dad always enjoys sharing his baking skills with me. G．As the flour dust quietly settled, time seemed to slow down. 【答案】36．A 37．D 38．C 39．B 40．G 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因未入选游泳队而感到沮丧，父亲通过邀请他一起烤面包，教会他放松并享受时间的缓慢节奏。 36．由上文“Dad is a busy mechanic. Every Saturday he puts on his apron and produces delicious bread.(爸爸是个忙碌的机械师。每个星期六他都穿上围裙，做出美味的面包。)”可知，爸爸虽然忙碌但还是会做面包，本空应说明爸爸做面包的原因或目的，A选项“I think he bakes to relax.(我想他做面包是为了放松。)”能承接上文，解释了爸爸做面包的可能原因，符合题意。故选A。 37．由上文“Dad first got out everything needed, and then told me to mix the ingredients (配料) with a spoon. After that he showed me how to knead the dough (揉面团).(爸爸先拿出所有需要的东西，然后让我用勺子搅拌配料。之后他教我如何揉面团。)”及下文“It took only ten minutes but a surprising amount of energy to complete.(只花了十分钟，但却需要惊人的能量来完成。)”可知，本空应描述揉面团这一任务的特点，D选项“It was a simple task but required some strength.(这是一个简单的任务，但需要一些力气。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 38．由上文“Next came the most difficult part — doing nothing.(接下来是最难的部分——什么都不做。)”及下文“Then punched (捶打) it down and waited for it to rise again.(然后捶打它，等它再次发酵。)”可知，本空应描述等待面团发酵的过程，C选项“We waited for the dough to slowly swell up.(我们等待面团慢慢膨胀起来。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选C。 39．由下文“Silence is like the dough that rises and fills a room with emptiness unless you punch it down with words. It felt good to listen and share our thoughts.(沉默就像发酵的面团，会让房间里充满空虚，除非你用语言打破它。倾听和分享想法的感觉很好。)”可知，空格处应描述等待时“交流”的场景。B选项“While we waited, we sat and talked.(等待的时候，我们坐下来聊天。)”能引出下文，符合语境。故选B。 40．由下文“The dough would rise at its own pace. We could do nothing to make it rise faster.(面团会按自己的节奏发酵。我们无法做任何事让它发酵得更快。)”可知，空格处应体现“时间缓慢流逝”的氛围，与面团发酵的“慢节奏”呼应。G选项“As the flour dust quietly settled, time seemed to slow down.(随着面粉尘埃静静落下，时间仿佛慢了下来。)”营造出缓慢的氛围，为下文“面团按自己节奏发酵”做铺垫，符合逻辑。故选G。 话题3 社会关系 Passage 1 The Unexpected Gift It was a freezing December afternoon when I noticed an old man struggling with grocery bags at a bus stop. Snowflakes danced in the air as his thin coat shook in the wind, revealing worn-out clothes. His wrinkled hands shook visibly while trying to secure a slipping bag of oranges. 41 Without thinking, I turned back and lifted two heaviest bags. His surprised smile exposed several missing teeth, but his eyes shone like polished stones. On the crowded bus, he told me in a dry voice how his wife had passed away last spring, leaving him alone in a small apartment. As the bus approached Pine Street, he suddenly grasped my shoulder. 42 “For your kindness,” he whispered, pressing something cold into my hand before disappearing into the snow. Opening my hand under a streetlight, I froze. 43 A silver pocket watch with delicate leaf patterns lay polished and bright; its chain lay loosely like a sleeping snake. The Roman numerals (数字) on its face reminded me of my grandfather’s clock. After three hours of online searching, I discovered it was a 1920s collector’s item. My throat tightened seeing auction (拍卖) listings with prices that could cover my college textbooks for two years. 44 There was no question about what I needed to do. 45 But the weeping neighbor told me that the old man had passed away peacefully in his favorite armchair, holding a photo of his late wife. A．I rushed to his building at dawn. B．Something warm arose in my chest. C．I almost continued walking to catch my movie. D．“Young man,” he said with unexpected firmness. E．Guilt and curiosity fought in my mind all evening. F．What I saw under the shining light took my breath away.

Chef Joshua King is one of them. His role is more than just cooking. 46 . A Rochester native, King has served as one of student groups, Psi U's chef since 2019. Hired through Harvest Table or Aramark(a requirement for student groups with functional kitchens), he prepares two daily meals—lunch (11 a. m. -2 p. m. )and dinner (4:30 p. m. -7 p. m. )—Monday to Friday. 47 . Therefore no fixed recipes allow him to innovate based on students’ preferences. King emphasizes tailored care. Initially, he interviewed every student to note allergies (过敏) and dietary restrictions, even preparing separate dishes to avoid infection. He also adapts menus to preferences, such as protein-rich options for fitness-focused members. 48 . For instance, crafting butter chicken with basmati (印度香米) rice at Indian students’ request, aiming to “bring a taste of home” to the house. 49 . When King’s daughter Julieana, battling a natural heart defect, died, they organized a GoFundMe for medical and funeral costs and hosted a house event(with $5 entry donations to the fund). Daily, students seek his life advice, and have meals with him—filled with conversation, laughter, and music—strengthening their bond. As junior Maxim Giller notes, King is seen as“an honored brother”and a foundation of their happiness. More than a workplace, Psi U has become King’s “second home”. His journey reflects the essence of student groups:lifelong brotherhood.   50 —through cook-offs, campus events, or catering— while cherishing his current role as a beloved, honored member. As King puts it, “Once a brother, you’re always a brother. ” A．His role grants creative freedom B．The Psi U’s students repay his care C．His work starts at 6 a. m. every day D．King has a daughter with heart disease E．It’s about creating a home away from home F．A“request board”further bridges cultural gaps G．Looking ahead, he hopes group chefs gain greater campus recognition 【答案】46．E 47．A 48．F 49．B 50．G 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述罗切斯特大学 Psi U 社团厨师Joshua King的工作，他不仅做饭，还关怀学生，学生也回报他，这里成了他的“第二个家”。 46．由上文“His role is more than just cooking.(他的职责不仅仅是做饭。)”可知，前文指出Joshua King的工作超出烹饪本身，空格处需进一步说明其职责的延伸意义。E项It’s about creating a home away from home.(而是要创造一个他乡的家。)符合语境，It指代前文“His role”，“creating a home away from home”补充了其职责的深层内涵，与后文他为学生提供定制化关怀、营造归属感的内容呼应。故选E项。 47．由下文“Therefore no fixed recipes allow him to innovate based on students’ preferences.(因此，没有固定的食谱，这让他可以根据学生的喜好进行创新。)”可知，下文的“因此”提示空格处是“无固定食谱”的原因，也是其创新的前提。A项His role grants creative freedom.(他的工作赋予了创新自由。)符合语境，“creative freedom”与“innovate”直接呼应，“grants creative freedom”解释了“无固定食谱”的合理性，构成因果逻辑。故选A项。 48．由下文“For instance, crafting butter chicken with basmati (印度香米) rice at Indian students’ request, aiming to “bring a taste of home” to the house.(例如，应印度学生的要求制作印度香米黄油鸡，旨在为这个住所“带来家的味道”。)”可知，下文举例说明满足学生的饮食需求以拉近文化距离，空格处需引出这一方式。F项A “request board” further bridges cultural gaps(“需求板”进一步弥合了文化差异。)符合语境，“request board”与“at Indian students’ request”呼应，“bridges cultural gaps”概括了下文例子的作用，承上启下。故选F项。 49．由下文“When King’s daughter Julieana, battling a natural heart defect, died, they organized a GoFundMe for medical and funeral costs and hosted a house event(with $5 entry donations to the fund). Daily, students seek his life advice, and have meals with him—filled with conversation, laughter, and music—strengthening their bond. .(当King的女儿Julieana因与先天性心脏缺陷作斗争而去世时，他们组织了一个GoFundMe来支付医疗和丧葬费用，并举办了一场家庭活动（向该基金捐款5美元）。每天，学生们都会寻求他的生活建议，和他一起吃饭——充满了对话、笑声和音乐——加强他们的联系。)”可知，下文描述学生对King的回报与关怀，空格处需点明这一主题。B项The Psi U’s students repay his care.(Psi U的学生们回报他的关怀。)符合语境，“repay his care”总领下文学生的一系列行动，“The Psi U’s students”与下文they指代一致，衔接自然。故选B项。 50．由下文“while cherishing his current role as a beloved, honored member.(同时珍惜他目前作为受人爱戴、受人尊敬的成员的角色。)”可知，while表对比，空格处需体现King对未来的规划。G项Looking ahead, he hopes group chefs gain greater campus recognition.(展望未来，他希望社团厨师能获得更多校园认可。)符合语境，“Looking ahead”引出未来愿景，与“cherishing his current role”形成对比，“group chefs” 与 King 的身份呼应，符合全文围绕学生社团厨师展开的主题。故选G项。 Passage 3 Tom Brown’s hands move fast, tying loose shoelaces (鞋带) as the morning bell rings. Tom works at a small table outside Central High’s front door. An old box sits next to him. 51 “Hurry up, kid—don’t be late for class,” he smiles, giving back a pair of shoes to a first-year student, who says a quick “thanks” and runs inside. At 6:00 a.m., Tom is there, carrying the table from the storage room. 52 He’s always wearing a faded blue jacket with signs from years of different jobs—fixing cars, putting up walls and roofs, and now this. “These kids are in such a rush that they don’t see their shoelaces are broken until it’s too late,” he laughs, remembering how he started 12 years ago. He saw a girl crying because her shoelace broke before a big P.E. test. 53 Lily Smith, a senior, comes by twice a week. “My little sister’s shoelaces always get broken, and Mr. Brown fixes them in two minutes,” she says, adjusting her bag. “He remembers everyone’s name. It’s like having a grandpa at school.” Tom never asks for money, but students leave him candy, or drawings. 54 His wife died five years ago, and his grown kids live in other states. “Being here keeps me feeling young,” he says, wiping a dirty shoe. 55 But just ask any student or teacher—Tom is often the first person they see when they walk in each day. “Quit? No way,” he says happily, waving to a group of 10th graders. “These shoes won’t fix themselves.” A．He is well-known in the school. B．Tom isn’t on the school staff list.

She arrived at the trail early and made her way to the lookout. As she headed back down, her foot got caught in a hole in the ground. 57 When sitting up, she knew immediately she had broken her leg. She cried out for help, and before long, a stranger approached and called 911. They were told a search and rescue team would arrive in five hours. “It wasn’t very encouraging,” Bannister says. “I asked if anyone had painkillers, because the pain was pretty substantial then.” 58 But two young men, Troy May, an Air Force airman and his friend Layton Allen, came over to see what was going on. When seeing Bannister in extreme pain, they offered to carry her to the bottom of the trail. May eased Bannister onto his back and started hiking downward. He carried her for most of the nearly three-hour journey, and Allen carried her for the rest. “That was just one kindness,” says Bannister. 59 One, a physical therapist, bandaged Bannister’s foot and built a makeshift splint (夹板) for her leg. The other did breathing exercises with her to help calm her. During the long hike down, her rescuers shared stories to distract her from the mounting pain. Once reaching the parking lot, they rushed Bannister to the nearest hospital. 60 “I think we’ll be lifelong friends,” Bannister says. A．She was almost in despair. B．No one in the surrounding area did. C．She fell forward against all expectations. D．A couple hiking that day also lent a hand. E．They have visited her several times afterwards.

Studies have shown that it requires rapid decision-making that activates diverse regions of the brain and increases blood. 61 But what truly sets Ping-Pong apart is its openness to all people. 62 and physical condition matter little. Instead, individuals of different fitness levels can compete equally in sports activity. Whether you’re young or old, tall or short, thin or heavy, everyone has a shot at glory (荣誉). 63 . For another thing, perhaps no sport has lower cost to participate in. If you can’t find a Ping-Pong bat in your storage room, an acceptably good one can be bought for about $20, or a set of four, with net and balls thrown in, for less than $50. 64 In a difficult situation, you don’t even need a table. One of China’s first great players sharpened his skills on the front door of his family’s home, which he would take off the door every morning and replace at the end of the day.

It is also one of the simplest forms of exercise. 66 The answer is “Yes”. Here are some of the major benefits of running in the morning. 67 One of the biggest benefits for morning runners is that their level of focus during a morning session will be higher than that of a mid-afternoon run. The main reason is that since you just get out of bed, you’re likely to have fewer thoughts clouding your head. This helps you get the most out of this exercise. It helps improve your mental health. You can view a morning run as an investment (投资) in your body. This creates a sense of self-worth and achievement. Running outside is particularly helpful. It can give you time to take in the beautiful sights of nature. There won’t be many people or cars around in the morning. 68 It puts you in a better mood (心情) for the new day. 69 But what you may not know is that you can use this to your advantage. Studies show that running can cause your body to release chemicals that make you feel good. These good feelings help you start the day feeling positive. You can keep energetic all day. 70 Then hit the track early in the morning. When you run in the morning, your body gets a natural energy boost that lasts all day. It helps you feel more energetic and ready for whatever the day brings. A．Do you need to improve your energy? B．You can focus on your running better. C．It improves your productivity for the day.

Be careful of the following things. 72 Many runners make the mistake of setting their speeds inaccurately(不准确地)when running outdoors. This is especially true for those who are used to running indoors. How can you learn your running level? Regularly choose different speeds and learn about your feelings and performance. How do you feel about jogging, racing and sprinting(短跑)speeds? Also, train to alternate(交替)these speeds to make the routine more challenging. Adapt to the weather. Remember that running outdoors is different from running indoors on a treadmill. In the winter, you may run more on the treadmill. Treadmills are a soft surface. When the winter is over and you want to run outdoors again, you need to give your body enough time to get used to the outdoors again. 73 Wear the right shoes. Avoid wearing bad running shoes with worn-out material. If the material is already worn out, it can no longer provide you with the support your feet need for running. 74 Also, make sure you choose the right shoes-shoes designed specifically for the challenges of running. Stay patient and work for results. No matter how hard you train, you won’t see results overnight. You need to be patient. 75 Take your time to make progress and expect challenges. A．Know your speed. B．Break your old habit. C．Replace old running shoes quickly. D．A change of scenery can also improve their feeling. E．A pair of good shoes can do wonders.

A change of scenery can also improve their feeling.(换个环境也能改善他们的情绪。)进一步表明在户外训练不仅可以让跑步者欣赏自然景观，还可以让他们的情绪得到改善，所以他们更喜欢在室外跑步，符合语境。故选D。 72．空处为第二段主题句，参考第三、四、五段可知，应用祈使句；根据该段“How can you learn your running level? Regularly choose different speeds and learn about your feelings and performance. How do you feel about jogging, racing and sprinting(短跑)speeds? Also, train to alternate(交替)these speeds to make the routine more challenging.(如何了解自己的跑步水平？定期选择不同的速度，了解自己的感受和表现。对于慢跑、赛跑和短跑的速度，你感觉如何？另外，训练时交替这些速度，让训练更具挑战性。)”可知，该段主要讨论了跑步速度设置的问题，说明跑步者要对自己的跑步速度有所了解；选项A. Know your speed.(了解你的速度）概括了该段主题，并直接引出话题，与段落内容一致。故选A。 73．根据上文“In the winter, you may run more on the treadmill. Treadmills are a soft surface.

Give your body time to get used to different surfaces.(让您的身体有时间适应不同的表面。)承接上文，语意连贯，呈递进关系。故选F。 74．根据上文“If the material is already worn out, it can no longer provide you with the support your feet need for running. (如果鞋子的鞋底已经磨损得无法再提供你跑步时所需的支撑力了，那它就不再适合你了。)”和下文“Also, make sure you choose the right shoes-shoes designed specifically for the challenges of running.(另外，一定要选择合适的跑鞋——即那些专门为跑步所设计的鞋子。)”可知，空处应该提出放弃磨损的鞋子；选项C. Replace old running shoes quickly.(尽快更换旧的跑鞋。)明确提出了要尽快放弃磨损的旧鞋子，更换合适的跑鞋，承上启下。故选C。 75．根据上文“No matter how hard you train, you won’t see results overnight. You need to be patient.(无论你如何刻苦训练，都不会一夜之间看到成效。你需要有耐心。)”和下文“Take your time to make progress and expect challenges.(慢慢来，你会取得进步的，而且要准备好迎接挑战。)”可知，空处应该表明不要期待短期内能立刻见到成效，选项G.

However, there are other things you need to think about if you want to be a good sports player. 76 . It’s a common mistake for young athletes to want to jump into the advanced stuff quickly. This isn’t an effective way to spend training time. You need a firm basis before you move on to bigger things. If you’re new to a sport, take as much time as you need to get the basic movements down properly. 77 . Get enough sleep. This one should come as obvious. This is especially true during times of intense practice or training, where things get so busy that it becomes hard to push everything into a regular day. However, your body needs its full rest. 78 . If you’re an adult, get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Set ambitious but realistic goals for yourself. Setting ambitious goals does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year. 79 , and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal, and break it down into smaller parts if the goal is especially big. Stay focused on the game. You won’t get anywhere if you’re worried about something else happening in your life. Life is always complex, and there may be things in your personal life that are bothering you. However, at least for the course of the game, you can’t let any of that stuff get to you. 80 . But if winning the game means a lot to you, then you should keep your eyes on the prize. A．Put basics first B．Let yourself have fun C．It may be easier said than done D．Instead, you should take a look at what you are E．This is especially true if you want to be a great coach F．If you’re a teen, you should sleep 8-10 hours each night G．It will make advanced skills a lot easier to master in the long run 【答案】76．A 77．G 78．F 79．D 80．C 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了成为优秀运动员需要注意的一些方面。 76．空处为本段的标题，根据下文“It’s a common mistake for young athletes to want to jump into the advanced stuff quickly.     This isn’t an effective way to spend training time. You need a firm basis before you move on to bigger things.(年轻运动员常常会急于快速学习高级知识，这是一种常见的错误。这种方式并不能有效地利用训练时间。在继续学习更复杂的内容之前，你需要先打下坚实的基础。)”可知，本段主旨为“注意基础”，A选项“把基础工作放在首位”符合本段主旨。故选A。 77．前文“If you’re new to a sport, take as much time as you need to get the basic movements down properly.(如果你是这项运动的初学者，那么就尽情地花时间去熟练掌握基本动作吧。)”表明应先熟练基础动作，那么，就能更好地进步，掌握高级技能，G选项“从长远来看，这将使高级技能的掌握变得更加容易。”符合主旨，为前后递进关系。故选G。 78．前文“However, your body needs its full rest.(然而，你的身体需要充分的休息。)”表明身体需要充分睡眠休息，后文“If you’re an adult, get 7-9 hours of sleep each night.(如果你是成年人，每晚应保证7至9小时的睡眠时间。)”表示成年人需要的睡眠时间，F选项“如果你是青少年，每晚应该睡8到10个小时。”则说明青少年需要的睡眠时间，符合语境。故选F。 79．前文“Setting ambitious goals does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year.(设定雄心勃勃的目标并不意味着不切实际，也不意味着你要在一年内成为专业人士。)”说明设定远大目标应该切合实际，不能好高骛远，后文应表明应如何设立目标，D选项“相反，你应该审视一下自己目前的情况”表示应如何设立目标，且与下文“figure out where you think you would like to be(弄清楚你认为自己想要达到什么样的状态/位置)”逻辑一致，引出真正说明的内容。故选D。 80．前文“However, at least for the course of the game, you can’t let any of that stuff get to you.(然而，至少在比赛过程中，你不能让那些事情影响到自己。)”表示我们不能让其他事情影响自己，后文“But if winning the game means a lot to you, then you should keep your eyes on the prize.(但倘若赢得比赛对你来说意义重大，那么你就应该专注于目标，坚持不懈。)”表示应专注，C选项“说起来容易做起来难啊。”中It指代前一句的内容，表示这是很难的，后文表示如果想要赢得比赛，就一定要专注，符合语境。故选C。 话题5 节日与习俗 Passage 1 Calligraphy, as an important part of Chinese culture, was an ancient art of writing words aesthetically (审美地). 81 Regular practice of calligraphy can have many benefits for the individuals and culture.

When creating beautiful characters, individuals can place their emotions into the art form, achieving a sense of achievement.(它有助于平复思绪、集中注意力，使书法家能够进入一种专注的意识状态，并内省以审视自己的内心和思想。在创作优美的字迹时，人们可以将自身的情感融入到这一艺术形式中，从而获得一种成就感。)”可知，空处应该概括指出书法对心理健康方面的有益影响；选项D. Calligraphy provides a way for emotional expression.(书法为情感表达提供了一种方式。)总结了书法是一种情感表达的方式，有助于人的心理健康，而下文对此进行了具体描述，其中“place their emotions into the art form”与选项D相呼应，符合语境。故选D。 84．根据上文“Through this art form, calligrapher can develop a deeper appreciation for the cultural heritage and aesthetics. (通过这种艺术形式，书法家能够更深入地领略文化遗产和美学的魅力。)”和下文“The beauty of a well-written character can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of their cultural background. In this way, calligraphy serves as a bridge across cultures between different worlds. (一篇精心书写的文字所展现出的美感，任何人都可以领略到，无论其文化背景如何。因此，书法成为了连接不同世界文化之间的桥梁。)”可知，上文说明了书法艺术在传统和文化方面的一种重要意义，下文指出了书法艺术是不同世界文化之间的桥梁，所以空处应该概括指出书法艺术在传统和文化方面起到了沟通交流的作用；故选项A. It is also a form of communication.(这也是一种交流方式。)总结了这层含义。故选A。 85．根据上文“So the practice of calligraphy can serve as a means of protecting and promoting traditional Chinese art forms. (因此，书法练习可以成为保护和推广中国传统艺术形式的一种方式。)”可知，空处为文章结尾句，应该在上文总结的基础上继续说明保护和推广中国传统艺术形式的结果，故选项F. And it ensures they are passed down from generation to generation.(而且这确保了它们能够代代相传。)中的“they”指代上文中的“traditional Chinese art forms”，说明保护推广的结果是中国传统艺术形式代代传承，总结收尾合理。故选F。 Passage 2 Advertisements are almost everywhere in our lives. 86 But before there was mass media (大众媒体), how did the ancient Chinese advertise their goods(商品)? The purpose of advertising, after all, is to attract customers’ attention. 87 More than 2,000 years ago, Qu Yuan wrote the poem Heavenly Questions (《天问》). It mentions (提及) a man who sells meat in a market. He “knocked his knife on the table to make a sound”. This was an easy way to draw people’s attention. 88 In the Song Dynasty, sellers used clever rhymes (押韵) to market their goods. They even adapted tunes (改编曲调) and wrote lyrics (歌词) to make it an art form. In addition, some sellers asked famous people for help. Strategies of the Warring States (《战国策》) mentions the story of a horse seller. At first, he brought his horses to the market and shouted to the crowd about the good quality of his horses. 89 Later, the man came up with a good idea. He went to Bo Le, a famous local horse expert (专家), and said to him, “Could you visit my stall (摊位) and look at my horses? I’ll pay you for it.” Bo Le agreed. He went to the seller’s stall and showed his “interest” in the horses. Other people in the market quickly gathered around. 90 How effective this way of advertising was! A．However, no one was interested. B．This was also true in ancient times. C．Soon, every horse in the stall had a buyer. D．Ancient people’s ways of advertising were simpler. E．Ancient people created songs to advertise their goods. F．Another simple way to advertise was to shout about the quality of one’s goods. G．We see them on smartphone apps, TVs, and big screens in shopping malls. 【答案】86．G 87．B 88．F 89．A 90．C 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了古代中国的广告方式。在没有大众媒体的时代，古人通过敲击刀具、押韵叫卖、改编歌曲以及借助名人效应等方式来吸引顾客注意，推销商品。 86．前一句“Advertisements are almost everywhere in our lives.(广告几乎无处不在，存在于我们的生活之中。)”指出广告在我们的生活中无处不在，结合后一句“But before there was mass media (大众媒体), how did the ancient Chinese advertise their goods(商品)?(但在有了大众媒体之前，古代中国人又是如何推销他们的商品的呢？)”提到mass media可知，G项“我们在智能手机应用程序、电视以及商场的大屏幕上都能看到它们。”符合语境，具体说明广告是如何通过大众媒体在我们生活中无处不在的，与下文形成转折关系，引出下文没有大众媒体，如何推销商品的问题。故选G。 87．前一句“The purpose of advertising, after all, is to attract customers’ attention.(毕竟，广告的目的是为了吸引顾客的注意。)”指出了做广告的目的是吸引顾客的注意力，后文“More than 2,000 years ago, Qu Yuan wrote the poem Heavenly Questions (《天问》). It mentions (提及) a man who sells meat in a market. He “knocked his knife on the table to make a sound”. This was an easy way to draw people’s attention.(两千多年前，屈原创作了《天问》这首诗。诗中提到了一个在市场里卖肉的人。他“用刀敲击桌面发出声响”。这是一种吸引人们注意的简单方法。)”举了一个古代的例子，因此此处应该是说这一点在古代也实用。B项“在古代也是如此”符合语境，承上启下。故选B。 88．本句是第三段的总起句，结合后面两句举的例子“In the Song Dynasty, sellers used clever rhymes (押韵) to market their goods. They even adapted tunes (改编曲调) and wrote lyrics (歌词) to make it an art form.(在宋朝时期，卖家们会巧妙地运用押韵的方式来推销他们的商品。他们甚至会改编曲调，并创作歌词，从而将其发展成了一种艺术形式。)”可知，此处应该是说做广告的另一个简单方法是高声叫卖。F项“另一种简单的宣传方式是大力宣扬自己商品的品质。”符合语境。故选F。 89．前一句“At first, he brought his horses to the market and shouted to the crowd about the good quality of his horses.(起初，他把他的马牵到市场上，并向人群大声宣传这些马的优良品质。)”指出卖马人对着人群吆喝他的马匹质量好，后一句“Later, the man came up with a good idea.(后来，这个男人想出了一个好主意。)”指出他想出了一个好方法，可推测他之前的方式不奏效，因此应该是没有人对此感兴趣。因此A项“然而，没有人感兴趣”符合语境，故选A。 90．前一句“Other people in the market quickly gathered around.(市场上的其他人很快也都围了过来。)”指出市场上其他人很快围了过来，后一句“How effective this way of advertising was!( 这种广告方式的效果真是惊人啊！)”感叹这种广告方式有效，由此猜测每匹马都有了买主。因此C项“很快，摊位里的每一匹马都找到了买家。”符合语境，故选C。 Passage 3 Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. 91 Since the Warring States Period (战国时期), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. 92 And sugar, the expensive product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. 93 Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done. 94 The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. 95 A．But they’re too expensive for many to buy. B．It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. C．To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. D．However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. E．So the art should be remembered, missed and passed on. F．Because this art form with a long history is popular with people of all ages. G．In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. 【答案】91．B 92．G 93．C 94．D 95．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了糖画的属性、历史发展、制作特点、现状及作为非遗的传承意义。 91．前文提到“Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar.(糖画，顾名思义，是用糖做的画)”，重点强调糖画这一事物的构成。B选项“It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire.(它是我们可以品尝的糖，也是我们可以欣赏的画)”，进一步阐述了糖画既具备糖可品尝的属性，又有画可欣赏的特点，是对上文关于糖画定义的进一步说明和补充，故选B。 92．前文提到“Since the Warring States Period (战国时期), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar.(从战国时期开始，古人就喜欢吃甜食，并发明了制糖的方法)”，讲述了战国时期人们就喜爱甜食并发展了制糖方法，后文“And sugar, the expensive product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes.(而糖，这种曾经只供皇帝和王子享用的昂贵产品，也进入了普通百姓的家中)”说糖这种曾经昂贵的产品进入了寻常百姓家。G选项“In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making.(在唐朝，制糖技术有了巨大的进步)”指出在唐朝制糖技术有了巨大进步，这可以很好地衔接前后文，解释了糖从昂贵产品到进入百姓家的原因，故选G。 93．后文提到“Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly.(因为糖浆冷却后会变硬，所以画家必须非常迅速地完成作品)”，这表明糖浆的制作和特性对糖画创作有重要影响。C选项“To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting.(为了制作糖浆，画家在画画前必须把糖加热)”，解释了制作糖浆需要加热糖这一关键步骤，与后文糖浆冷却变硬以及画家要快速创作相呼应，说明了糖浆制作与创作过程之间的联系，故选C。 94．后文描述“The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters.(由于需求减少，曾经形状丰富的糖画变得越来越单调。更糟糕的是，除了那些年迈的糖画艺人，似乎很少有人愿意传承这门艺术)”，这清晰地表明糖画这种民间艺术正面临消亡的困境。D选项“However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently.(然而，遗憾的是，这种民间艺术最近正在消亡)”，直接点明了当前糖画所处的不利状况，与后文内容紧密相连，故选D。 95．前文指出“Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China.(现在，糖画已被列为中国非物质文化遗产)”，说明糖画得到了官方认可和保护。E选项“So the art should be remembered, missed and passed on.(所以这门艺术应该被铭记、怀念并传承下去)”，基于糖画成为非物质文化遗产这一事实，呼吁人们要铭记、怀念并传承这门艺术，符合逻辑和语境，故选E。 Passage 4 The animated series “Boonie Bears” has become a cultural phenomenon in China, offering more than just entertainment for young audiences. Through its engaging stories and relatable characters, it subtly imparts valuable life lessons.

Similar to many, she prefers e-books and audio-books over traditional ones. This generation, making up nearly one-fifth of China’s population, is more likely to download e-books onto their devices than to visit bookstores or libraries. 101 Platforms like WeChat Reading and Zhangyue have many Gen Z users who spend hours immersed in online literature. They share reviews and comments on social media, follow “book bloggers”, and seek “reading buddies”. 102 She finds e-reading very flexible and cost-effective. She often shares her thoughts on books through social media, which allows her to connect with other readers and discover new titles. Gen Z readers actively follow “book bloggers” and engage with their content. They appreciate the insights and discussions these bloggers provide. 103 Thus, it enhances a sense of community and interaction. 104 Xiao Xia, a college student, finds that reading with a friend helps keep schedules on track and offers fresh perspectives. On platforms like WeChat Reading, users can interact with others by highlighting and commenting on specific sentences. This interactive feature enhances reading experience and a sense of community. Traditional publishers are now embracing the digital flow, using big data to target readers and livestreaming to launch new titles, further integrating the digital and traditional worlds of literature. 105 They embrace digital platforms and interactive reading experiences, making it more accessible and engaging than ever before.

It is also a way to enjoy informative, creative, and inspiring works of literature that enrich our life experiences. 106 To form the habit, practicing good reading skills is a must. 107 When you read, read for the main idea of each paragraph, along with its supporting reasons. When you are building up reading skills, it can be helpful to read with a pencil in hand to take notes or underline the key idea of each paragraph. Look up unfamiliar words. It is quite normal to meet with some unfamiliar words when reading. Merriam Webster online is a wonderful and thorough resource for defining unfamiliar words. 108 When you reach a good stopping point, return to each word and look it up, re-reading the sentence it appeared in. This helps understand the word and its usage in case there are different meanings. Become familiar with literary devices (手法). Particularly if you are a fan of novels and short stories, becoming familiar with common literary tools like metaphor, simile, parallel structure and personification is an important part being a better reader. 109 Don’t rush. Reading for learning and enjoyment is never a sprint (冲刺). Instead, take your time, advance your skills and their development at your own pace. 110 Each day, as you read, your mind will take the reading skills it learned before and apply them again, often with greater efficiency. A．Read for content. B．Read to get the author’s attitude. C．You will be an excellent reader if you stick. D．Simply underline or make a list of these words.

(阅读不仅仅是一项重要的专业技能。这也是一种享受丰富我们生活经验的信息量丰富、富有创意且鼓舞人心的文学作品的方式)”及下文“To form the habit, practicing good reading skills is a must.(要养成这个习惯，练习良好的阅读技巧是必须的)”可知，阅读能丰富人生体验，但养成习惯必须练习技巧。由此可知，G项Like any skill worth mastering, a reading habit requires time to develop. (任何值得掌握的技能都需要时间，阅读习惯亦然)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 107．根据下文“When you read, read for the main idea of each paragraph, along with its supporting reasons.(当你阅读时，阅读每一段的主要观点，以及它的支持理由)”可知，本段主要建议阅读时要掌握主要观点及支撑细节。由此可知，A项Read for content. (为内容而读)恰好概括该段核心，置于段首，作段落小标题。故选A。 108．根据上文“It is quite normal to meet with some unfamiliar words when reading. Merriam Webster online is a wonderful and thorough resource for defining unfamiliar words.(阅读时遇到不熟悉的单词是很正常的。韦氏在线词典是一个定义陌生单词的极好且全面的资源)”可知，阅读时遇到生词很正常，并推荐查词网站。由此可知，D项Simply underline or make a list of these words. (只需把这些词划出来或列成清单)能够衔接上文，给出具体操作，且与下文“When you reach a good stopping point, return to each word and look it up, re-reading the sentence it appeared in.(当你找到合适的停顿点时，回到每个单词并查找它，重新阅读它出现过的句子)” 形成先后步骤，符合语境。故选D。 109．根据上文“Particularly if you are a fan of novels and short stories, becoming familiar with common literary tools like metaphor, simile, parallel structure and personification is an important part boing a better reader.( 特别是如果你是小说和短篇小说的粉丝，熟悉常用的文学工具，如隐喻、明喻、平行结构和拟人是成为一个更好的读者的重要组成部分)”可知，阅读时，要熟悉比喻、拟人等文学手法。由此可知，E项Understanding them can enrich the reading experience greatly.(理解这些手法能极大丰富阅读体验)能够衔接上文，说明其好处，符合语境。故选。 110．根据本段标题“Don’t rush.(不要急于求成)”及上文“Reading for learning and enjoyment is never a sprint (冲刺). Instead, take your time, advance your skills and their development at your own pace.(为了学习和享受而阅读绝不是一蹴而就。相反，花点时间，按照自己的节奏提升自己的技能和发展)”可知，阅读不能急于求成，要按自己节奏来。由此可知，F项Do not get discouraged if you are a slow reader, especially at first.(如果读得慢，尤其起初，别气馁)能够衔接上文，正面安慰初学者，与“take your time”同义呼应，符合语境。故选F。 Passage 3 Reading isn’t just a method of gaining information; it’s a powerful tool that can enrich your inner world and improve your quality of life. However, not everyone can fully benefit from books because of improper reading techniques or a lack of concentration. 111 The first, and maybe the most important step toward effective reading is creating a suitable environment. Choose a comfortable place: a cozy sofa, a comfortable chair, or a great bed. 112 Too bright can harm your eyes, while too dim (昏暗的) can make you sleepy. Aim to read in conditions free from noises that could break your focus. Before diving into a book, make yourself familiar with its structure and table of contents. 113 For example. If you’re reading a popular science book, go through its chapters quickly to get an idea of the central themes. This not only speeds up the reading but also improves your understanding of the material. 114 Spare time for reading every day — this could be in the morning before work or in the evening before bed. For instance, you could develop a habit of reading for 20 minutes before going to sleep to relax and prepare for rest. It’s been proven that regular reading helps reduce stress levels, improve people’s states of mind, and even better their cognitive (认知的) abilities. 115 By following these simple strategies, you’ll not only make reading more enjoyable but also increase your efficiency (效率), turning the act into a true pleasure and a means of personal development. A．Make sure the lighting is just right. B．Think of it as a training for your brain. C．Identify what you need to find in the text. D．This will help you grasp the main ideas and key points. E．It’s important to master a few effective reading strategies. F．Equally important is making reading a part of your daily routine. G．Practice reading speed, increasing the amount you read in a set time. 【答案】111．E 112．A 113．D 114．F 115．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是阅读的重要性，针对人们因不当技巧或注意力不集中难受益的问题，给出营造环境等有效阅读策略。 111．根据上文“However, not everyone can fully benefit from books because of improper reading techniques or a lack of concentration. (然而，由于不当的阅读技巧或注意力不集中，并非每个人都能从书籍中充分获益。)”可知，此处提出了人们阅读时存在的问题，下文“The first, and maybe the most important step toward effective reading is creating a suitable environment. (实现有效阅读的第一步，或许也是最重要的一步，是营造一个适宜的环境。)”开始介绍有效阅读的方法，所以空处应起到承上启下的作用，引出有效的阅读策略。E选项“It’s important to master a few effective reading strategies. (掌握一些有效的阅读策略很重要。)”既指出了解决上文问题的关键在于掌握策略，又为下文介绍具体策略做了铺垫，符合语境。故选E项。 112．根据上文“Choose a comfortable place: a cozy sofa, a comfortable chair, or a great bed. (选择一个舒适的地方：一张舒适的沙发、一把舒服的椅子或者一张不错的床。)”可知，此处讲述营造适宜阅读环境需选择舒适的地点，下文“Too bright can harm your eyes, while too dim (昏暗的) can make you sleepy. (光线太亮会伤害眼睛，而太暗则会让你犯困。)”提到了光线对阅读的影响，所以空处应围绕阅读环境中的光线展开。A选项“Make sure the lighting is just right. (确保光线恰到好处。)”既承接上文营造适宜环境的话题，又引出下文对光线明暗影响的阐述，符合语境。故选A项。 113．根据上文“Before diving into a book, make yourself familiar with its structure and table of contents. (在深入阅读一本书之前，先熟悉它的结构和目录。)”可知，此处建议阅读前熟悉书籍结构和目录，下文“For example. If you’re reading a popular science book, go through its chapters quickly to get an idea of the central themes. (例如，如果你正在读一本科普书，快速浏览它的章节，以了解核心主题。)”举例说明熟悉书籍结构和目录的具体作用，所以空处应总结熟悉书籍结构和目录的好处。D选项“This will help you grasp the main ideas and key points. (这将帮助你掌握主要思想和要点。)”中的“This”指代上文“熟悉书籍结构和目录”，且“掌握主要思想和要点”与下文“了解核心主题”相呼应，符合语境。故选D项。 114．根据下文“Spare time for reading every day — this could be in the morning before work or in the evening before bed.

Don’t force yourself to read something just because it’s popular. 118 Try audiobooks(有声读物). Too busy to sit and read? 119 I am not too fond of audiobooks but that’s just me. I know of book lovers who feel it’s a great way to fit audiobooks into one’s routine effortlessly. Audiobooks can also bring stories to life with interesting tellings, making them an excellent alternative for multitaskers. 120 Before bed, trade your phone for a book. Reducing screen time helps you sleep better-and you get to enjoy a great story before falling asleep. Limiting social media and TV time can free up more moments for reading. A．Use screen time for reading. B．Trade screen time for page time. C．You don’t need hours to be a reader. D．Hours are essential to becoming a true reader.
