Visitors to the Ha-ha house in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, walk into a little cloud of white smoke when they step inside. Its purpose is to blow away their worries before they climb into a giant washing machine. Then they move down a twisting slide into a space filled with little white balls, where their trip to a happier place starts. 43-year-old Andrea Golubic is the museum's creator. Golubic said she got the idea during the pandemic. At that time, many people were feeling down, so she wanted to heal people with laughter. Golubic said a picture of herself when she was seven inspired her. I was constantly joking as a kid, she added. The museum has eight interactive zones or areas. One has rubber chickens singing cheerfully. They sing songs like Abba's dancing queen. There is a room where people wrestle in large clothes. There is also some serious history of humor, from ancient to modern times told through theatres, films or the Internet. Singer Zorica Bucic said the museum was just right for this era. Entering here is like entering childhood, being relieved of all problems. She said Bucic added that if people could come to the museum often, they wouldn't need to visit a psychologist. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Wildlife Photography Contest 2025 Do you enjoy exploring nature with your camera?

By presenting vivid and moving images of wildlife, it seeks to increase people’s awareness of endangered species and motivate them to take practical steps to conserve the natural world.(举办此次活动是为了提高公众对野生动物之美的欣赏，并引起人们对保护野生动物自然栖息地的关注。通过展示生动而感人的野生动物图像，它旨在提高人们对濒危物种的认识，并激励他们采取实际行动保护自然世界)”可知，此次比赛的目的是鼓励公众保护野生动物。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Requirements部分中“All entries must photograph wild animals in their natural surroundings; images of domestic animals, farm animals, or zoo animals will not be accepted.(所有参赛作品必须拍摄自然环境中的野生动物；不接受家养动物、农场动物或动物园动物的图像)”可知，上传一张可爱的宠物狗的照片会导致参赛作品被取消资格。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Awards部分中“The second prize winner will get a $200 gift card for photography equipment and a one-year subscription to Wildlife Explorer magazine.(二等奖获得者将获得一张价值200美元的摄影设备礼品卡和一份为期一年的《野生动物探索者》杂志订阅)”可知，二等奖获得者将获得一张购买摄影设备的礼品卡。故选C。 B Introduction to Astronomy is a college class usually filled with excitement and a lot of questions about outer space, like: What are black holes? Are there planets out there that are habitable? Why is Venus’s climate so different from Earth’s even though the planets started out so similar? It’s perhaps because of this that the course lends itself to discussing the realities of climate change here on Earth. Rector is one of the founders of Astronomers for Planet Earth, an organization of over 2,000 educators teaching people about climate change through astronomy. This combination makes sense to fellow astronomer Juan Madrid, who has taken one of Rector’s workshops aimed at educators. “As astronomers, we are painfully aware that we have no Planet B,” Madrid says, “and that our planet is the only planet, the only body in the solar system that can sustain our species.” Madrid is a professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He says when the topic of climate change came up in his class, silence would consume the room. Then, he began connecting astronomy concepts to climate change. Like how visible light gets trapped in your car and heats it up on a hot summer day. That is how greenhouse gases act: Gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane (甲烷) trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere by radiating the heat back to Earth’s surface, warming it like a planet-sized car. But the lessons in Rector and Madrid’s classrooms don’t stop at the stark (严酷的) realities of climate change. They also empower students, discussing the power they have to change the path we are on. “I think that’s a very important role that we can serve in helping people transition from just fear and shame to action and optimism,” says Rector. And that sense of empowerment and optimism has, in turn, inspired Madrid. “I do have hope about all this,” he says. “But I can only have hope when I know that my students and the future generations are well-trained and understand well our challenges ahead.” 24. Why is climate change discussed in the course Introduction to Astronomy? A. Because students will be tested on climate change. B. Because Venus and Earth are quite similar at the beginning. C. Because questions about climate change will naturally come up. D. Because astronomy has to be combined with climate to teach the course effectively. 25. Why did Madrid give the example of a car in his class? A. To show how hot it is in a car. B. To explain how the Earth is warmed. C. To show how polluted the air is. D. To explain how we can adapt to the weather. 26. What should be done to deal with climate change according to Madrid? A. Helping people to be powerful. B. Asking people to stay optimistic. C. Telling people about the hard reality. D. Making people informed and prepared. 27. Astronomers for Planet Earth was founded for ________. A. the future of mankind B. the achievement of careers C. the profit of enterprises D. the development of science 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了天文学教育在应对气候变化方面所发挥的作用。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Introduction to Astronomy is a college class usually filled with excitement and a lot of questions about outer space, like: What are black holes? Are there planets out there that are habitable? Why is Venus’s climate so different from Earth’s even though the planets started out so similar? (“天文学导论”是一门大学课程，通常充满兴奋和许多关于外太空的问题，比如：什么是黑洞？那里有适合居住的行星吗？为什么金星的气候和地球如此不同，尽管这两颗行星一开始非常相似？)”可知，气候变化在这门课上被讨论是因为学生们会自然地提出关于气候变化的问题。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段“Like how visible light gets trapped in your car and heats it up on a hot summer day. That is how greenhouse gases act: Gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane (甲烷) trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere by radiating the heat back to Earth’s surface, warming it like a planet-sized car. (比如在炎热的夏天，可见光是如何被困在你的车里并加热的。这就是温室气体的作用：像二氧化碳、水蒸气和甲烷这样的气体通过将热量辐射回地球表面来捕获地球大气中的热量，像一辆行星大小的汽车一样使地球变暖。)”可知，Madrid举汽车的例子是为了解释地球是如何被加热的，就像温室气体（二氧化碳、水蒸气和甲烷等）将热量辐射回地球表面，使地球变暖，就像一个巨大的汽车一样。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段“But I can only have hope when I know that my students and the future generations are well-trained and understand well our challenges ahead. (但只有当我知道我的学生和后代都受到了良好的培训，并且对我们面临的挑战有充分的理解时，我才能有希望。)”可知，Madrid认为，为了应对气候变化，首先需要做的是让人们了解并准备好。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段中“Rector is one of the founders of Astronomers for Planet Earth, an organization of over 2,000 educators teaching people about climate change through astronomy. (Rector是“地球天文学家”组织的创始人之一，该组织由2000多名教育工作者组成，通过天文学向人们传授气候变化知识。)”以及后文提到的他们讨论如何改变我们目前的路径，可以推断出“Astronomers for Planet Earth”这个组织是为了人类的未来而成立的，特别是为了应对气候变化。故选A。 C In Victorian Britain, Londoners could receive up to 12 postal deliveries a day. Daily communications could begin with a morning invitation to dinner, continue with a midday argument, and conclude with a compromise—all before nightfall. We often imagine predigital era similar to ours now but without our digital distractions, but it was not so. With letters flooding in, an ever-filling doormat might easily overwhelm even a gentleman. Distraction is claimed to be the cognitive crisis of the digital age. In a recent Atlantic article “The elite college students who can’t read books”, Rose Horowitch reports that students now struggle to focus on even a sonnet (十四行诗). Many U.S. schools have replaced classic literature with shorter passages to prioritize workplace-relevant skills But might historical context reframe these worries? Would it help those who lament our growing inability to sit attentively through a classical music concert to know that the 18th-century symphony was not designed with the expectation of an attentive audience? Horowitch notes we might not see so much a decline in engaging with long texts as shifts in what is consumed and how: “Students see reading books as similar to listening to vinyl records — something that a small subculture may still enjoy, but that’s mostly a relic of an earlier time.” Meanwhile, audiobooks thrive. “Students can read…they just choose not to.” Might what we identify as an attention crisis be in part a shift in priorities? This isn’t to dismiss valid concerns. We must reconsider what types of attention we value. Intense focus can make us miss the obvious. A more diffused (分散的) focus might foster different cognitive skills. Is it possible younger generations are developing new, valuable modes of attention? While real problems exist in today’s attention economies, history invites flexibility in how we engage with long-form culture. New practices of attention may bring social and individual good. 28. Why does the author mention Victorian letter writing? A. To criticize modern communication. B. To show distraction existed in history. C. To demonstrate writing’s importance. D. To compare different postal systems. 29. What does the underlined word “lament” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Applaud. B. Regret. C. Measure. D. Encourage. 30. According to paragraph 4, what does Horowitch think of the attention crisis? A. It is a cultural decline. B. It is a novel phenomenon. C. It is a change in preference. D. It is a problem without solutions. 31. What is the author’s view on attention? A. Traditional reading is outdated. B. Digital skills will replace old methods. C. Diverse attention modes are needed. D. Attention spans are damaged. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要描述了现代社会中关于注意力危机的讨论，并通过历史视角进行了反思。作者认为现代社会中，并不是人们的专注能力有所下滑，而是人们的喜好有了改变，因此需要多样化的注意力模式。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In Victorian Britain, Londoners could receive up to 12 postal deliveries a day.(在维多利亚时代的英国，伦敦人一天最多能收到12次邮政投递。)”和“We often imagine predigital era similar to ours now but without our digital distractions, but it was not so. With letters flooding in, an ever-filling doormat might easily overwhelm even a gentleman.(我们常常想象前数字时代与现在的我们相似，只是没有如今的数字化干扰，但事实并非如此。信件如潮水般涌来，门口的垫子总是堆满信件，这甚至可能让一位绅士都应接不暇。)”可知，维多利亚时代的书信往来会让人们受到干扰、注意力分散，所以作者提到这点是为了表明历史上已经存在了注意力分散的现象，并非是如今的数字时代才出现的。故选B。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“But might historical context reframe these worries?(但历史背景或许能重新审视这些担忧吗？)”和划线词所在句“Would it help those who lament our growing inability to sit attentively through a classical music concert to know that the 18th-century symphony was not designed with the expectation of an attentive audience?(如果能让那些lament我们越来越难以专心聆听一场古典音乐会的人明白，18世纪的交响乐作品就并非是为期待观众全神贯注聆听而设计的，那是否会有助于他们缓解这种情绪呢？)”可知，对于我们越来越缺乏专心聆听一场古典音乐会的能力，那些人感到担忧，暗示了他们对我们注意力下降的遗憾和惋惜，故lament表示“遗憾、惋惜”。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Horowitch notes we might not see so much a decline in engaging with long texts as shifts in what is consumed and how: “Students see reading books as similar to listening to vinyl records — something that a small subculture may still enjoy, but that’s mostly a relic of an earlier time.”(Horowitch指出，我们或许不会看到人们阅读长篇文本的频率有明显下降，而是会看到人们阅读的内容以及阅读方式发生了变化：“学生们认为阅读书籍就像听黑胶唱片——这在一小部分人群中可能仍是一种喜爱的活动，但更多的是属于过去时代的遗留产物了。”)”和“Might what we identify as an attention crisis be in part a shift in priorities?(我们所认为的“注意力危机”现象，是否在一定程度上是由于优先选择的改变所导致的呢？)”可知，Horowitch认为，注意力危机是由于人们优先选择的阅读内容和阅读方式有了改变，即偏好的改变导致的。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Is it possible younger generations are developing new, valuable modes of attention? While real problems exist in today’s attention economies, history invites flexibility in how we engage with long-form culture. New practices of attention may bring social and individual good.(有没有可能年轻一代正在发展新的、有价值的注意力模式？尽管当今的注意力经济存在一些实际问题，但历史告诉我们，在如何对待长篇文化内容方面可以保持灵活性。新的注意力模式或许能带来社会和个体的益处。)”可知，作者认为当今社会需要有新的注意力模式加入，保持注意力模式的灵活性、多样化。故选C。 D Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of our country’s problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into trash (垃圾桶), donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless. Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they cut them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, till last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life—and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says. Eradajere Oleita’s practice is a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com, “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.” 32. What is Oleita’s solution to the two problems? A. Asking snack lovers to donate money. B. Collecting money to buy sleeping bags. C. Making chip bags into sleeping bags. D. Organizing volunteers to collect rubbish. 33. Why was Oleita unwilling to raise money to buy new sleeping bags? A. It was difficult to raise money. B. She became more ambitious. C. She wanted to live a better life. D. Sleeping bags were expensive. 34. Which of the following best describes Oleita? A Flexible and Humorous. B. Generous and thankful. C. Determined and open-minded. D. Creative and sympathetic. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Think twice before you leap. B. Kill two birds with one stone. C. Wisdom and love are a perfect pair. D. Garbage and poverty often go hand in hand. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个名为“薯片袋项目”的公益，通过回收空薯片袋，为无家可归者制作睡袋，既保护了环境，又减少了贫困。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据在第一段中的第一句“Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of our country’s problems: garbage and poverty.(埃拉达耶尔·奥拉塔认为她可以部分解决，我们国家的两个问题：垃圾和贫穷。)”和最后一句“Rather than toss your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless(与其把你空的薯片袋扔进垃圾桶，不如把它们捐出去，这样她就可以把它们变成睡袋，送给无家可归的人。)”可知，奥拉塔通过将空的薯片袋变为流浪者的睡袋，来解决垃圾和贫困这两个问题。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段开头“Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita…(当然，筹集资金购买新睡袋会更简单。但这只是奥列塔的一半目标……)”以及本段最后一句奥拉塔所说的话“We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,(我们致力于不仅对社会产生影响，而且对环境产生影响，)”可知，奥拉塔的目标不是筹钱买睡袋，而是提出一个既能帮助社会也能保护环境的目标，因此她的目标相比于只是筹钱买睡袋更为宏伟。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into trash(垃圾桶), donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.(这位来自底特律的26岁的学生和环保人士请当地的零食爱好者帮个忙：与其把你空的薯片袋扔进垃圾桶，不如把它们捐出去，这样她就可以把它们变成睡袋，送给无家可归的人。)”可知，奥拉塔愿意为无家可归的人将空的薯片袋制作成睡袋，这是一个创造性的想法。这有力地提醒我们，环境不公与贫困往往是密切相关的。以及最后一段中“As Oleita told hourdetroit.com, ‘I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.’(正如奥拉塔告诉hourdetroit.com的：“我认为是时候展示所有这些问题之间的联系了。”)”可知，她关心环境问题和贫困问题，致力于展示环境不公和贫困的关系。由此可知，她是富有创造力并且关心他人的。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段第一句“Eradajere Oleita’s practice is a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand.(埃拉达耶尔·奥拉塔的做法有力地提醒了我们，环境不公正和贫穷常常是并存的。)”可知，奥拉塔提出了“薯片袋项目”，一个既能帮助无家可归的人又能帮助缓解环境压力的一个非常有创意的办法，这个想法是一石二鸟的方法。因此，B项最符合题意，作为题目也具有吸引力。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s natural for people to compare themselves with their peers.

What does the word mean? Leadership is not just the ability to lead a team, it is a journey of selflessness. Some people are born leaders while others are not. This was how I had to start my journey “Alright, class! We are going to work in groups to create a mind map! It needs to contain the facts we discussed during the Science Centre trip!” Mrs. Low’s voice boomed across the classroom like thunder. “This is a great opportunity for our newly appointed group leaders to prove themselves worthy of that title.” Mrs. Low then raised one of her eyebrows with great expectations. The class burst into non-stop chattering. Rita and John glanced at me warily. I raised my head, the gleaming badge (闪耀的徽章) with the words “Team Leader” pinned proudly on my uniform. Mrs. Low instructed the class, “Go to your seats now.” In the blink of an eye, everyone rushed back to their tables to begin their project. I took out a piece of paper and pointed to Rita, “Hey you! Make a list of the stuff that we have learned.” Rita angrily slammed her hand on the table. She complained, “Why do you have to be so bossy?” “Because I’m the leader!” I shouted back. She glared at me with anger burning in her eyes. I turned to John, “And you! Start drawing the mind map! I want it done quickly!” John did not protest; he simply bit his lip, muttering, “Is this really leadership?” He went on to draw the mind map while his question rang in my head and I asked myself, is this really leadership? It was as if I was standing in front of a mirror, looking at my reflection, wondering if I was proud to see how I was behaving then. “Am I right to order people around like that? Should I be more polite and less bossy?” Questions bombarded my brain until I felt it was about to explode. I closed my eyes and sighed. Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned my head around. It was Mrs. Low. As though she could read my mind, Mrs. Low explained, “Leadership is not just about being a leader. It is to serve others, not yourself. It is a selfless journey.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式作答. Mrs. Low gave me a pat on the back and left. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We began working on the project as a team. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Mrs. Low gave me a pat on the back and left. Reflecting on her words, they went straight into my mind and more importantly, my heart. It was as if someone had lit a light bulb in my brain, sweeping away all my confusion. She was right. Instantly I did realize that leadership was about serving, not bossing people around. Taking a deep breath and swallowing my pride, I sprang to my feet, dashed to John and Rita and apologized, “I’m sorry for my rudeness, guys. Let’s do this project in another way.” John and Rita’s annoyed expressions gave way to the widest smiles. We began working on the project as a team. I kept reminding myself to be patient and not to order them around while giving tips, ideas and feedback. The following time witnessed our harmonious cooperation. It didn’t take long before we were done with the project. With the work, I went up to Mrs. Low and passed it to her. Upon receiving our work, she gave a satisfied nod and clapped proudly. “You’ve done well!” she commended. I laughed heartily and my heart fluttered. This experience served as a reminder to me that leadership is to serve others, not myself. Deep down, I recognized that this was just the start, the start of my lifelong selfless journey to become a true leader. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者被任命为小组组长后，起初对组员颐指气使，引发不满。在老师点拨“领导力是服务他人而非指使”后，作者反思并道歉，与组员协作完成任务，领悟到领导力的真谛，开启了成为真正领导者的无私之旅。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“洛夫太太拍了拍我的背然后离开了”可知，第一段可描写在老师点拨“领导力是服务他人而非指使”后，作者反思并道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们以团队的形式开始着手这个项目”可知，第二段可描写作者与组员协作完成任务，领悟到领导力的真谛，开启了成为真正领导者的无私之旅。 2.续写线索：老师提醒——作者反思——作者道歉——一起合作——完成项目——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①作为：serve as/work as ②命令：order/command ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①生气：annoyed/angry ②困惑：confusion/bewilderment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Instantly I did realize that leadership was about serving, not bossing people around.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] Reflecting on her words, they went straight into my mind and more importantly, my heart.（运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Would you like to watch a movie with me tonight?

B Introduction to Astronomy is a college class usually filled with excitement and a lot of questions about outer space, like: What are black holes? Are there planets out there that are habitable? Why is Venus’s climate so different from Earth’s even though the planets started out so similar? It’s perhaps because of this that the course lends itself to discussing the realities of climate change here on Earth. Rector is one of the founders of Astronomers for Planet Earth, an organization of over 2,000 educators teaching people about climate change through astronomy. This combination makes sense to fellow astronomer Juan Madrid, who has taken one of Rector’s workshops aimed at educators. “As astronomers, we are painfully aware that we have no Planet B,” Madrid says, “and that our planet is the only planet, the only body in the solar system that can sustain our species.” Madrid is a professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He says when the topic of climate change came up in his class, silence would consume the room. Then, he began connecting astronomy concepts to climate change. Like how visible light gets trapped in your car and heats it up on a hot summer day. That is how greenhouse gases act: Gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane (甲烷) trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere by radiating the heat back to Earth’s surface, warming it like a planet-sized car. But the lessons in Rector and Madrid’s classrooms don’t stop at the stark (严酷的) realities of climate change. They also empower students, discussing the power they have to change the path we are on. “I think that’s a very important role that we can serve in helping people transition from just fear and shame to action and optimism,” says Rector. And that sense of empowerment and optimism has, in turn, inspired Madrid. “I do have hope about all this,” he says. “But I can only have hope when I know that my students and the future generations are well-trained and understand well our challenges ahead.” 24. Why is climate change discussed in the course Introduction to Astronomy? A. Because students will be tested on climate change. B. Because Venus and Earth are quite similar at the beginning. C. Because questions about climate change will naturally come up. D. Because astronomy has to be combined with climate to teach the course effectively. 25. Why did Madrid give the example of a car in his class? A. To show how hot it is in a car. B. To explain how the Earth is warmed. C. To show how polluted the air is. D. To explain how we can adapt to the weather. 26. What should be done to deal with climate change according to Madrid? A. Helping people to be powerful. B. Asking people to stay optimistic. C. Telling people about the hard reality. D. Making people informed and prepared. 27. Astronomers for Planet Earth was founded for ________. A. the future of mankind B. the achievement of careers C. the profit of enterprises D. the development of science C In Victorian Britain, Londoners could receive up to 12 postal deliveries a day. Daily communications could begin with a morning invitation to dinner, continue with a midday argument, and conclude with a compromise—all before nightfall. We often imagine predigital era similar to ours now but without our digital distractions, but it was not so. With letters flooding in, an ever-filling doormat might easily overwhelm even a gentleman. Distraction is claimed to be the cognitive crisis of the digital age. In a recent Atlantic article “The elite college students who can’t read books”, Rose Horowitch reports that students now struggle to focus on even a sonnet (十四行诗). Many U.S. schools have replaced classic literature with shorter passages to prioritize workplace-relevant skills But might historical context reframe these worries? Would it help those who lament our growing inability to sit attentively through a classical music concert to know that the 18th-century symphony was not designed with the expectation of an attentive audience? Horowitch notes we might not see so much a decline in engaging with long texts as shifts in what is consumed and how: “Students see reading books as similar to listening to vinyl records — something that a small subculture may still enjoy, but that’s mostly a relic of an earlier time.” Meanwhile, audiobooks thrive. “Students can read…they just choose not to.” Might what we identify as an attention crisis be in part a shift in priorities? This isn’t to dismiss valid concerns. We must reconsider what types of attention we value. Intense focus can make us miss the obvious. A more diffused (分散的) focus might foster different cognitive skills. Is it possible younger generations are developing new, valuable modes of attention? While real problems exist in today’s attention economies, history invites flexibility in how we engage with long-form culture. New practices of attention may bring social and individual good. 28. Why does the author mention Victorian letter writing? A. To criticize modern communication. B. To show distraction existed in history. C. To demonstrate writing’s importance. D. To compare different postal systems. 29. What does the underlined word “lament” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Applaud. B. Regret. C. Measure. D. Encourage. 30. According to paragraph 4, what does Horowitch think of the attention crisis? A It is a cultural decline. B. It is a novel phenomenon. C. It is a change in preference. D. It is a problem without solutions. 31. What is the author’s view on attention? A. Traditional reading is outdated. B Digital skills will replace old methods. C. Diverse attention modes are needed. D. Attention spans are damaged. D Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of our country’s problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into trash (垃圾桶), donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless. Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they cut them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, till last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life—and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says. Eradajere Oleita’s practice is a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com, “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.” 32. What is Oleita’s solution to the two problems? A. Asking snack lovers to donate money. B. Collecting money to buy sleeping bags. C. Making chip bags into sleeping bags. D. Organizing volunteers to collect rubbish. 33. Why was Oleita unwilling to raise money to buy new sleeping bags? A. It was difficult to raise money. B. She became more ambitious. C. She wanted to live a better life. D. Sleeping bags were expensive. 34. Which of the following best describes Oleita? A. Flexible and Humorous. B. Generous and thankful. C. Determined and open-minded. D. Creative and sympathetic. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Think twice before you leap. B. Kill two birds with one stone. C. Wisdom and love are a perfect pair. D. Garbage and poverty often go hand in hand. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s natural for people to compare themselves with their peers.

What does the word mean? Leadership is not just the ability to lead a team, it is a journey of selflessness. Some people are born leaders while others are not. This was how I had to start my journey “Alright, class! We are going to work in groups to create a mind map! It needs to contain the facts we discussed during the Science Centre trip!” Mrs. Low’s voice boomed across the classroom like thunder. “This is a great opportunity for our newly appointed group leaders to prove themselves worthy of that title.” Mrs. Low then raised one of her eyebrows with great expectations. The class burst into non-stop chattering. Rita and John glanced at me warily. I raised my head, the gleaming badge (闪耀的徽章) with the words “Team Leader” pinned proudly on my uniform. Mrs. Low instructed the class, “Go to your seats now.” In the blink of an eye, everyone rushed back to their tables to begin their project. I took out a piece of paper and pointed to Rita, “Hey you! Make a list of the stuff that we have learned.” Rita angrily slammed her hand on the table. She complained, “Why do you have to be so bossy?” “Because I’m the leader!” I shouted back. She glared at me with anger burning in her eyes. I turned to John, “And you! Start drawing the mind map! I want it done quickly!” John did not protest; he simply bit his lip, muttering, “Is this really leadership?” He went on to draw the mind map while his question rang in my head and I asked myself, is this really leadership? It was as if I was standing in front of a mirror, looking at my reflection, wondering if I was proud to see how I was behaving then. “Am I right to order people around like that? Should I be more polite and less bossy?” Questions bombarded my brain until I felt it was about to explode. I closed my eyes and sighed. Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned my head around. It was Mrs. Low. As though she could read my mind, Mrs. Low explained, “Leadership is not just about being a leader. It is to serve others, not yourself. It is a selfless journey.” 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式作答. Mrs. Low gave me a pat on the back and left. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We began working on the project as a team. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
