I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment. One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise. I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago. The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local. Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit—this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth. As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder’s happiness, finding fulfillment in his craft and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. 4. Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A. Shortage of adequate funds. B. Discomfort in dietary habits. C. Overstatement of travel’s effects. D. Danger of petting baby animals. 5. What drove the author to go to Athens? A. Meeting a commitment. B. Exploring a unique landscape. C. Receiving further education. D. Escaping from the current life. 6. Why did the author feel moved after visiting the welder’s workshop? A. The author was touched by the welder’s love for his family. B. The author found fulfillment in the welder’s simple but delicate craft. C. The welder’s peaceful and simple life inspired him to reflect on life. D The author felt time passed too quickly without being noticed. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Friendship Lasts Forever B. Travelling Shapes a Better Self C. Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D. The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者在雅典的旅行经历，探讨了旅行的本质：真正的收获不在于外在的 “transformative” 体验，而在于从平凡生活中发现生命的诗意与内心的感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand ‘transformed’ them.(我厌倦了背包客们过度夸赞在泰国抚摸小象如何“改变”了他们)”可知，作者明确表示厌倦了背包客对旅行体验的“过度夸赞”，认为这种对旅行效果的“夸大表述”让他感到不安。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise... it was time to make good on that promise.(一天，我最好的希腊朋友Vasilis提醒我我们十年前的约定：期末考试后，我要去他雅典的家乡看看。也许，是时候兑现这个承诺了)”可知，作者前往雅典的直接原因是兑现与朋友十年前的约定，即履行承诺。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder’s happiness, finding fulfillment in his craft and returning to his loving family...(我羡慕他的平静和满足，欣赏他所体现的简单纯粹。我想象着这位焊工的幸福：从自己的手艺中获得满足，然后回到充满爱的家庭中……)”可知，作者感动的核心是焊工平静、简单的生活状态使作者感动，让他反思到生活中被忽视的诗意。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段中对平凡的焊工日常的描述和最后一段“Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat.(回到蒙特利尔的家，我不再简单地追求更好的事物、更好的经历和更好的人，而这些都是永远无法抓住的。我意识到真正的旅程是向内的——去欣赏生活平凡的魔力。这可比抚摸小象强多了。我回家时也许没有“变了”，但我总会想起那个焊工和他的猫)”可知，文章通过平凡的焊工日常揭示旅行的意义在于发现平凡中的非凡。D选项“The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary（平凡造就非凡）”，精准概括文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选D项。 C The healing Power of Art: An Introduction to Art Therapy (疗法) Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is based on the belief that the creative act can be healing. Unlike traditional art, where the final product is often the primary focus, art therapy values the entire process — the feelings, thoughts, and experiences that emerge during creation. It is not necessary for a person to be talented or skilled in art to benefit from this process; the goal is self-exploration and expression, not aesthetic achievement. Trained art therapists guide individuals, couples, or groups to use various art materials — such as paints, clay, and collage — to express themselves in ways that words sometimes cannot. This is particularly helpful for people who have experienced trauma, are dealing with stress or anxiety, or find it difficult to articulate their thoughts and feelings verbally. By externalizing inner conflicts and emotions into a tangible form, individuals can often gain a new perspective on their problems and begin to understand and manage them more effectively. Research has shown that art therapy can produce significant benefits. It can help reduce stress, improve self-awareness, enhance social skills, and increase self-esteem. It is used in a variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, mental health clinics, and private practices, serving people of all ages. In a world where verbal communication is often prioritized, art therapy offers a vital alternative pathway to healing, proving that a picture can indeed be worth a thousand words, not just in art, but in health and human connection. However, this doesn’t mean that looking at or making art will cure someone of a physical illness or even provide relief of mental health symptoms — it’s not a substitute for a needed medication, surgery, vaccination, or treatment plan. But still, art can heal. 8. What is the main focus of art therapy according to the passage? A. Creating beautiful and valuable artwork. B. The process of creation and self-expression. C. Training people to become professional artists. D. Competing with traditional forms of psychotherapy. 9. Who would most likely benefit from art therapy? A. Someone who is already a highly skilled painter. B. Someone who prefers not to use any art materials. C. Someone who finds it hard to express feelings in words. D. Someone who is only interested in the final artwork. 10. The word “articulate” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________. A. create B. express C. hide D. imagine 11. What can be inferred from the passage about art therapy? A. Its effectiveness is not supported by any research. B. It is only useful for treating young children. C. It provides a non-verbal way to address personal issues. D. It is considered more important than verbal communication. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了艺术疗法，这是一种利用艺术创作过程来改善人的身体、心理和情感健康的心理治疗方法。它强调创作过程和自我表达，适用于各个年龄段的人群，尤其在处理创伤、压力和焦虑等方面具有显著效果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Unlike traditional art, where the final product is often the primary focus, art therapy values the entire process — the feelings, thoughts, and experiences that emerge during creation. It is not necessary for a person to be talented or skilled in art to benefit from this process; the goal is self-exploration and expression, not aesthetic achievement. (与传统艺术不同，在传统艺术中，最终作品往往是关注的焦点，而艺术治疗则重视整个过程 —— 创作过程中涌现的感受、想法和体验。一个人不必在艺术方面有天赋或技能就能从这个过程中获益；其目标是自我探索和表达，而非审美成就。)”可知，艺术疗法的主要关注点是创作过程和自我表达。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This is particularly helpful for people who have experienced trauma, are dealing with stress or anxiety, or find it difficult to articulate their thoughts and feelings verbally. (这对于那些经历过创伤、正在应对压力或焦虑，或者难以用语言清晰articulate自己想法和感受的人来说，尤其有帮助。)”可知，那些难以用语言表达自己的想法和感受的人最有可能从艺术疗法中受益。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词所在句“This is particularly helpful for people who have experienced trauma, are dealing with stress or anxiety, or find it difficult to articulate their thoughts and feelings verbally. (这对于那些经历过创伤、正在应对压力或焦虑，或者难以用语言清晰articulate自己想法和感受的人来说，尤其有帮助。)”以及后一句“By externalizing inner conflicts and emotions into a tangible form, individuals can often gain a new perspective on their problems and begin to understand and manage them more effectively. (通过将内心的冲突和情感外化为一种有形的形式，人们往往能以新的视角看待自己的问题，并开始更有效地理解和处理这些问题。)”可知，艺术疗法帮助人们将内心情绪转化为有形的艺术形式，对于那些很难用语言表达自己的想法和感受的人来说，特别有帮助。因此，划线词articulate在此应为“用语言表达”之意，与 “express (表达)”意思接近。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Trained art therapists guide individuals, couples, or groups to use various art materials — such as paints, clay, and collage — to express themselves in ways that words sometimes cannot. (训练有素的艺术治疗师会引导个人、伴侣或团体使用各种艺术材料 —— 如颜料、黏土和拼贴画 —— 以言语有时无法做到的方式来表达自己。)”以及最后一段中“In a world where verbal communication is often prioritized, art therapy offers a vital alternative pathway to healing, proving that a picture can indeed be worth a thousand words, not just in art, but in health and human connection. (在一个往往优先考虑语言交流的世界里，艺术疗法提供了一条重要的替代性疗愈途径，这证明一幅画确实抵得上千言万语，这不仅体现在艺术领域，也体现在健康和人际交往方面。)”可推知，艺术疗法提供了一种非言语的方式来处理个人问题。故选C项。 D Humans are so hard-wired (天生的) to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs. Multiple psychological analyses argue that human connections are as important as basics like food and shelter. Though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a tiger, human evolution (进化) has made our brains adapt themselves to social signals. Has social media changed how humans signal their social condition to one another? Not exactly, says Rutledge. “Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini-trends to emerge and die out within weeks.” People all find that trends elicit (引出) a pull, and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. “If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out.” Thus, we notice attention grabbers, giving trends even more reasons for people to follow them. No one is free from noticing trends, but one group in particular is more likely to follow trends: Teens and young adults. Older adults tend to feel more secure in their identity, a sense that may protect them from being as sensitive to every passing craze. Indeed, social attention varies by age, with older adults not paying as much attention to how they communicate and are linked with others as their younger counterparts. Individuals may be more sensitive to social reward — positive input from members of their social circles — during midlife. 12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By providing a solution to a problem. B. By giving an example from daily life. C. By stating a fact and then explaining its cause. D. By making a comparison with a common belief. 13. What role does social media play in the spread of trends according to the passage? A. It makes trends spread more rapidly and widely. B. It helps people better understand the nature of trends. C. It weakens the influence of traditional fashion trends. D. It changes the way humans signal their social condition. 14. What is Rutledge’s suggestion about? A. The way to resist the temptation of trends. B. The reason why humans are attracted to trends. C. The impact of social media on trend-following. D. The psychological concept related to human behavior. 15. What conclusion can be drawn about the relationship between age and following trends? A. Older adults are more sensitive to social attention than teenagers. B. Young people are less likely to be influenced by short-lived trends. C. Teenagers’ identity security makes them follow trends more actively. D. Middle-aged individuals may value social rewards from their circles more. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从心理学和进化角度解释了人类从众行为的普遍性，指出社交媒体加速潮流传播，并分析了不同年龄段对潮流的敏感度差异。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Humans are so hard-wired (天生的) to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. (人类天生就很想融入人群，所以他们经常忽略潜在的风险)”可知，人类倾向于从众且会忽视风险，再根据第一段中“That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs. (这与一个心理学概念有关，该概念指的是人类属于一个社会群体并与他人建立联系的核心需求。它被认为是人类的基本需求之一)”可知，这一行为与人类的归属于社会群体的心理需求相关。因此，作者是通过陈述事实并解释其原因来呈现议题的。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. (相反，它肯定会让某些潮流传播得更快、更远)”可知，社交媒体加速了潮流的传播范围和速度。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Rutledge所说的话“Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual (我们的大脑天生就会注意到不寻常的事情)”和“If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out. (如果这是不正常的，其他人都在做，我们必须检查一下)”可知，Rutledge认为人类受到潮流的吸引是因为进化导致大脑关注不寻常事物，其建议与人类被潮流吸引的原因有关。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Individuals may be more sensitive to social reward — positive input from members of their social circles — during midlife. (人到中年，可能对社会性奖励——来自社交圈成员的积极回馈——更为敏感)”可知，中年人可能更看重来自社交圈的社会性奖励。故选D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。 During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. ____16____ For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal. ____17____ One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. ___18___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____19_____ Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. ____20____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A. Many factors shape your body image. B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart. D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E. Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G. This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了青春期身体形象的形成及影响因素。 【16题详解】 由上文“During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose.(在青春期，你的身体会经历许多变化，你开始形成一种身体意象 —— 你如何看待、思考和感受你身体的大小、形状和重量，或者像你的鼻子这样的特定特征)”及下文“For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal.(例如，你可能认为你的鼻子太大或太小，即使它看起来非常正常)”可知，本空应强调身体意象与现实的差异。F选项“令人惊讶的是，身体意象更多地是由你的想法而不是现实塑造的”强调了想法对身体意象的影响，引出下文对鼻子看法与现实不符的例子，能承上启下， 符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 由下文“One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure.

Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal.(一个主要的影响因素是同伴的压力。你的朋友可能会随便拿你的外表开玩笑，或者你可能会拿自己和他们比较，觉得他们看起来更好。这样的经历会损害你看待自己的方式。另一个强大的影响是媒体，它经常宣传一个狭窄的、理想的体型。例如，如果白皙的皮肤被描述为美丽，如果你不符合理想，你可能会感到不安全)”可知，下文描述了影响身体意象形成的因素，本空位于句首，应概括本段主旨，强调影响身体意象形成有很多的因素。A选项“许多因素塑造了你的身体意象”可作为总起句，引出下文对影响因素的具体介绍，符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 由上文“Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries.(形成负面的身体意象会导致不健康的行为，如极端节食、过度锻炼，甚至是有风险的整形手术)”及下文“When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality.(当你过于关注外表时，你可能会忘记欣赏自己其他很棒的方面，比如你的才能和个性)”可知，本空应强调负面身体意象的不良影响。B选项“它也会降低你的总体生活满意度”进一步阐述了负面身体意象的不良后果，also表明是对上文不良影响的补充，能起到承上启下的作用，符合题意。故选B。 【19题详解】 由上文“Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing.(模特和名人在媒体上可能看起来完美无瑕，但他们的外表很大程度上要归功于化妆、角度、灯光和编辑)”可知，本空应进一步说明没有这些因素时他们的真实情况。E选项“没有这些技巧，他们就和其他所有人一样“不完美””能承接上文对模特和名人外表的描述，说明没有那些手段他们也不完美，符合题意。故选E。 【20题详解】 由上文“Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves.

Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination----the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination. Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more----all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman. “You like these true believer?” Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes, …Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.” “Then become one!” said the old man. “How?” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.” “And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person ---” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.” The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. Finally he raised his head. "So I am supposed to...” he stopped mid-sentence when he realized that he was alone. He turned his head left and right, but the old man was nowhere to be seen. His eyes lit up---- he already had an idea of what he should do. He looked at figurines for the last time and moved towards the counter. "Two sandwiches and a cup of tea please, "he said, and then returned, food in hand. The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. Tommy came closer and carefully gave the woman his buys. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, then filled with tears. “Thank you," she whispered. Tommy bowed his head, turned around and went back home. He was moving faster and faster and finally he started to run. Strange energy filling his body made him feel like he could fly. When he finally stopped, he was breathing heavily, but he didn’t feel tired. He smiled happily --- it was a wonderful feeling. And nothing could stop it. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了汤米想成为超级英雄，在一个老人的开导下他学会了用自己的行动去帮助他人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤米低下头，看着自己的鞋子，冥思苦想。”可知，第一段可描写汤米懂得了真正超级英雄的含义。 ②由第二段首句内容“那个无家可归的女人就在那里，他最后一次见到她的地方。”可知，第二段可描写汤米帮助了那个女人。 2.续写线索：领悟——帮助——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.开始：start/begin/commence ②.充满：be filled with/be full of 情绪类 ①.感谢：Thank for/show one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②.积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1].

I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment. One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise. I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago. The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local. Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit—this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth. As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder’s happiness, finding fulfillment in his craft and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. 4. Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A. Shortage of adequate funds. B. Discomfort in dietary habits. C. Overstatement of travel’s effects. D. Danger of petting baby animals. 5. What drove the author to go to Athens? A Meeting a commitment. B. Exploring a unique landscape. C. Receiving further education. D. Escaping from the current life. 6. Why did the author feel moved after visiting the welder’s workshop? A. The author was touched by the welder’s love for his family. B. The author found fulfillment in the welder’s simple but delicate craft. C. The welder’s peaceful and simple life inspired him to reflect on life. D. The author felt time passed too quickly without being noticed. 7 Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Friendship Lasts Forever B. Travelling Shapes a Better Self C. Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D. The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary C The healing Power of Art: An Introduction to Art Therapy (疗法) Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is based on the belief that the creative act can be healing. Unlike traditional art, where the final product is often the primary focus, art therapy values the entire process — the feelings, thoughts, and experiences that emerge during creation. It is not necessary for a person to be talented or skilled in art to benefit from this process; the goal is self-exploration and expression, not aesthetic achievement. Trained art therapists guide individuals, couples, or groups to use various art materials — such as paints, clay, and collage — to express themselves in ways that words sometimes cannot. This is particularly helpful for people who have experienced trauma, are dealing with stress or anxiety, or find it difficult to articulate their thoughts and feelings verbally. By externalizing inner conflicts and emotions into a tangible form, individuals can often gain a new perspective on their problems and begin to understand and manage them more effectively. Research has shown that art therapy can produce significant benefits. It can help reduce stress, improve self-awareness, enhance social skills, and increase self-esteem. It is used in a variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, mental health clinics, and private practices, serving people of all ages. In a world where verbal communication is often prioritized, art therapy offers a vital alternative pathway to healing, proving that a picture can indeed be worth a thousand words, not just in art, but in health and human connection. However, this doesn’t mean that looking at or making art will cure someone of a physical illness or even provide relief of mental health symptoms — it’s not a substitute for a needed medication, surgery, vaccination, or treatment plan. But still, art can heal. 8. What is the main focus of art therapy according to the passage? A. Creating beautiful and valuable artwork. B. The process of creation and self-expression. C. Training people to become professional artists. D. Competing with traditional forms of psychotherapy. 9. Who would most likely benefit from art therapy? A. Someone who is already a highly skilled painter. B. Someone who prefers not to use any art materials. C. Someone who finds it hard to express feelings in words. D. Someone who is only interested in the final artwork. 10. The word “articulate” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________. A. create B. express C. hide D. imagine 11. What can be inferred from the passage about art therapy? A. Its effectiveness is not supported by any research. B. It is only useful for treating young children. C. It provides a non-verbal way to address personal issues. D. It is considered more important than verbal communication. D Humans are so hard-wired (天生的) to fit in with the crowd that they often ignore potential risks. Following trends blindly isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental health trouble. Instead, says psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly normal. That is linked with a psychological concept that refers to humans’ core need to belong to a social group and bond with others. It’s considered to be one of humans’ basic needs. Multiple psychological analyses argue that human connections are as important as basics like food and shelter. Though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a tiger, human evolution (进化) has made our brains adapt themselves to social signals. Has social media changed how humans signal their social condition to one another? Not exactly, says Rutledge. “Rather, it has certainly allowed certain trends to circulate faster and farther than they would have otherwise. Take fashion: While trends once walked down from fashion runways toward common use over years, social media now allows mini-trends to emerge and die out within weeks.” People all find that trends elicit (引出) a pull, and psychologists have figured out reasons. Blame evolution again, Rutledge suggests. “Our brains are hardwired to notice things that are unusual,” she says. “If it’s not normal and other people are all doing it, we have to check it out.” Thus, we notice attention grabbers, giving trends even more reasons for people to follow them. No one is free from noticing trends, but one group in particular is more likely to follow trends: Teens and young adults. Older adults tend to feel more secure in their identity, a sense that may protect them from being as sensitive to every passing craze. Indeed, social attention varies by age, with older adults not paying as much attention to how they communicate and are linked with others as their younger counterparts. Individuals may be more sensitive to social reward — positive input from members of their social circles — during midlife. 12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By providing a solution to a problem. B. By giving an example from daily life. C. By stating a fact and then explaining its cause. D. By making a comparison with a common belief. 13. What role does social media play in the spread of trends according to the passage? A. It makes trends spread more rapidly and widely. B. It helps people better understand the nature of trends. C. It weakens the influence of traditional fashion trends. D. It changes the way humans signal their social condition. 14. What is Rutledge’s suggestion about? A. The way to resist the temptation of trends. B. The reason why humans are attracted to trends. C. The impact of social media on trend-following. D. The psychological concept related to human behavior. 15. What conclusion can be drawn about the relationship between age and following trends? A.

Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. ___18___ When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. _____19_____ Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. ____20____ Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A. Many factors shape your body image. B. It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C. However, your true beauty lies within your heart. D. External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E. Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F. Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G. This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths. 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The fear of rejection is one of my biggest fears.

Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination----the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination. Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more----all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman. “You like these, true believer?” Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes, …Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.” “Then become one!” said the old man. “How?” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.” “And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person ---” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.” The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
