4 AI Tools That Actually Work
These AI tool recommendations come from real, practical use, so you can trust that they’re grounded in what actually works.
Synthesia
Synthesia is a leading AI video generator which allows you to generate realistic digital human videos. It’s ideal for teams and businesses that prioritize speed, professionalism, and brand consistency in their video production workflows. Synthesia offers a free plan that allows users to generate up to 36 minutes of video per year. For more extensive features, paid plans start at $29 per month.
Gamma
Gamma is great for generating presentations. The slides feature impressive designs and include AI-generated images that look consistent and professional.

B
There’re lots of articles in which writers like me leave social media and report on how their lives have transformed. I swore I wouldn’t add to it. But here I am, writing about it. And I’m doing so because it didn’t change my life in quite the way that I expected or many of these essays promised it would.
I genuinely enjoyed Twitter. The problem was that I loved it a little too much. I’d find myself checking it when I should be working, running late to my daughters’ school events because I tried to fit in a quick glance or staying up far too late surfing vast oceans of information, tired and barely interested but unable to resist it.
In November, my friends encouraged me to drop my Twitter habit, at least for a little while. My life was overfull, and this was something I could cut out. I followed, though hesitantly and with a little bit of unwillingness, because I trust my friends and their wisdom.
I went from being on it nearly every day to being off it for two months now. Being offline didn’t make my life that joyful. But there is one way that leaving Twitter has benefited my life and my mind. The times when I checked Twitter were often the transition points in my day: when I waited in line or to pick up my kids from school. Freeing up those seemingly inconsequential moments has been transformative. These moments are nothing I really considered before and I even didn’t notice their departure when I began going online. Leaving them unfilled has changed how I walk through time. I may wave to a neighbor; I may feel gratitude or delight. I may notice that I feel tired or lonely. But this, too, is part of the gifts of these small moments.
Our days, which are so full of work and thinking, of disappointments and confusion, must have moments when nothing much is happening, moments when we get no input, no videos, no opinions.
4. What do we know about the author?
A. The author’s life was disturbed by the overuse of Twitter.
B. The author followed the friends’ advice without hestitation.
C. The author shared the same idea with other writers about Twitter.
D. The author’s interest in the information online drove him to check Twitter.
5. What does the underlined word “inconsequential” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Unforgettable. B. Unimportant. C. Tough. D. Boring.
6. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To persuade readers to block Twitter.
B. To show the influence of social media.
C. To share an unexpected benefit of staying offline.
D. To raise doubts about the promised effects of being offline.
7. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Free up Small Moments B. No Twitter, No Trouble
C. Take a Moment to Reflect D. Small Changes, Big Differences
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是作者曾经受过多使用推特的困扰,在戒掉社交媒体后作者的生活发生了很多变化。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“I’d find myself checking it when I should be working, running late to my daughters’ school events because I tried to fit in a quick glance or staying up far too late surfing vast oceans of information, tired and barely interested but unable to resist it.(问题是我有点太爱它了。我发现自己会在应该工作的时候查看它,因为想快速浏览一下女儿的学校活动而迟到,或者熬夜浏览大量信息,疲惫而几乎没有兴趣,但又无法抗拒。)”可知,作者的生活被过度使用推特所困扰。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“when I waited in line or to pick up my kids from school(当我排队或去学校接孩子的时候)”可知,排队或接孩子的时候是一些看似无关紧要的时刻,划线词所在的句子的意思是“把那些看似无关紧要的时刻释放出来会带来变革”,划线词inconsequential的意思是“不重要的”,和B选项Unimportant(不重要的)意思相近,故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是倒数第二段的“Being offline didn’t make my life that joyful. But there is one way that leaving Twitter has benefited my life and my mind. (下线并没有让我的生活变得那么快乐。但离开Twitter有一种方式让我的生活和思想受益。)”和“Leaving them unfilled has changed how I walk through time. I may wave to a neighbor; I may feel gratitude or delight. I may notice that I feel tired or lonely. But this, too, is part of the gifts of these small moments.(不填满它们改变了我度过时间的方式。我可能向邻居挥手;我可能会感到感激或高兴。我可能会注意到我感到疲倦或孤独。但是,这也是这些小时刻的一部分礼物。)”可知,本文主要讲的是作者曾经受过多使用推特的困扰,在戒掉社交媒体后作者的生活发生了很多变化,因此本文的目的是分享离线带来的意外好处。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段的“Being offline didn’t make my life that joyful. But there is one way that leaving Twitter has benefited my life and my mind. (下线并没有让我的生活变得那么快乐。但离开Twitter有一种方式让我的生活和思想受益。)”和“Freeing up those seemingly inconsequential moments has been transformative. These moments are nothing I really considered before and I even didn’t notice their departure when I began going online. Leaving them unfilled has changed how I walk through time. I may wave to a neighbor; I may feel gratitude or delight. I may notice that I feel tired or lonely. But this, too, is part of the gifts of these small moments.(把那些看似无关紧要的时刻释放出来会带来变革。这些时刻是我之前从未真正考虑过的,当我开始上网时,我甚至没有注意到它们的离开。不填满它们改变了我穿越时间的方式。我可能向邻居挥手;我可能会感到感激或高兴。我可能会注意到我感到疲倦或孤独。但是,这也是这些小时刻的一部分礼物。)”可知,本文主要讲的是作者曾经受过多使用推特的困扰,在戒掉社交媒体后作者的生活发生了很多变化,也就是关于把有些看似无关紧要的时候空出来,不用社交媒体的好处,因此最好的题目是A选项“Free up Small Moments(释放小时刻)”,故选A。
C
Some talk of building settlements on the moon or Mars to help make sure humanity survives long into the future. Others have their sights set closer to home: on future cities under the ocean.
“Technologically speaking, it is absolutely possible to colonize the bottom of the sea,” says Fabien Cousteau, a well-known ocean explorer who once spent 31 days living in what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat, Aquarius. It’s about the size of a school bus and located 62 feet below the ocean surface off the Florida Keys.
Just as astronauts test what it would be like to live in space, aquanauts try out undersea living with an eye on the future. Escaping from disasters such as climate change, wars, or pandemics is one reason to live under the sea. Others include studying, exploring, or appreciating the ocean. It’s costly and expensive to constantly keep up an ocean habitat which must pump in or make its own air, electricity, and fresh water. Inhabitants have to deal with high pressure. And infections can develop rapidly due to high humidity.
Despite the challenges, several new ocean habitats and cities are under construction. A series of space station-like undersea living quarters for aquanauts called Proteus are scheduled to be completed by 2025 off Curacao, an island north of Venezuela in South America. An undersea colony called Ven Base Alpha will be built near a hydrothermal vent, which would supply it with energy. Meanwhile, an undersea city called Ocean Spiral in Japan would link its surface to the deep sea, using the difference in pressure to generate energy and produce fresh water. This sounds amazing, but it would be extremely expensive and remains just a design.
Not everyone agrees that building homes in the ocean is a good idea. This type of development could place even more strain on ecosystems that are already struggling with pollution and climate change. It’s important to make sure that any construction is done carefully, says Susanne Menden-Deuer, an oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island. Wild undersea habitats should be treated as “the precious, irreplaceable resource that they are,” she says.
8. What do we know about Aquarius?
A. It is still under construction.
B. It is the only ocean habitat in operation.
C. It functions as an undersea school bus.
D. It only allows a person to live there for 31 days.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The present and future of living under the sea.
B. The purpose and cost of building undersea settlements.
C. The reasons and challenges of living under the sea.
D. The problems and findings of building undersea settlements.
10. What would be the result of building homes in the ocean according to the text?
A. Rapid development of undersea habitats.
B. Protection of irreplaceable ocean resource.
C. Struggles with pollution and climate change.
D. Negative impacts on undersea ecosystems.
11. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A textbook. B. A travel guide. C. An academic journal. D. A science magazine.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。围绕在海底建造定居点的可能性、原因、挑战以及相关争议展开介绍。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““Technologically speaking, it is absolutely possible to colonize the bottom of the sea,” says Fabien Cousteau, a well-known ocean explorer who once spent 31 days living in what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat, Aquarius. It’s about the size of a school bus and located 62 feet below the ocean surface off the Florida Keys. (著名海洋探险家法比安・库斯托说:“从技术上讲,在海底殖民是绝对可能的,”他曾在现在世界上唯一运行的海底栖息地“水瓶座”中生活了31天。该栖息地大约有一辆校车那么大,位于佛罗里达群岛海面以下62英尺处)”可知,Aquarius是唯一在运行的海洋栖息地。故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Just as astronauts test what it would be like to live in space, aquanauts try out undersea living with an eye on the future. Escaping from disasters such as climate change, wars, or pandemics is one reason to live under the sea. Others include studying, exploring, or appreciating the ocean. It’s costly and expensive to constantly keep up an ocean habitat which must pump in or make its own air, electricity, and fresh water. Inhabitants have to deal with high pressure. And infections can develop rapidly due to high humidity. (就像宇航员测试在太空生活是什么样子一样,潜航员也在尝试海底生活,着眼于未来。逃避气候变化、战争或流行病等灾难是人们生活在海底的原因之一。其他包括学习、探索或欣赏海洋。持续维持海洋栖息地是昂贵的,它必须自己泵入或制造空气、电力和淡水。居民们必须应对高压。由于高湿度,感染会迅速发展)”可知,第三段主要讲了在海底生活的原因和挑战。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Not everyone agrees that building homes in the ocean is a good idea. This type of development could place even more strain on ecosystems that are already struggling with pollution and climate change. (并不是每个人都认同在海洋里建房子是个好主意。这类开发可能会给本就受污染和气候变化影响、处境艰难的生态系统带来更大压力。)”可知,在海洋中建造家园会对海底生态系统产生负面影响。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。第一段提出有人构想在海底建设未来城市的话题。第二段引用海洋探险家Fabien Cousteau的观点,说明从技术层面海底殖民是可行的,并介绍了现有海底栖息地Aquarius。第三段阐述人类尝试海底生活的原因(如躲避灾难、研究海洋等),同时指出海底生活面临的挑战(如成本高、高压、高湿度易引发感染等)。第四段介绍多个正在建设或处于设计阶段的海底栖息地及城市项目。第五段提及有人对海底建设持反对意见,认为其可能给海洋生态系统带来压力,强调建设需谨慎。文章围绕海底城市的技术可行性、建设原因、挑战及相关项目展开,属于科普类内容,因此最可能来自科学杂志。故选D项。
D
In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
12. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument?
A. Tolerant. B. Approving. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
13. Why do many people try to avoid arguments?
A. They lack debating skills.
B. They may feel upset even though they win.
C. They fear being neglected.
D. They don’t have faith in themselves.
14. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Explain. B. Defend. C. Conclude. D. Fuel.
15. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?
A. Strengthening sense of logic.
B. Gathering solid supporting evidence.
C. Seeing things from both sides’ perspectives.
D. Practicing proper manners.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要探讨了人们对争论的错误认知,指出避免争论的观点存在问题,进而阐述了正确对待争论的方法以及“赢得”争论的关键。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place. (这种对争论的厌恶很常见,但它基于对争论的错误看法,这给我们的个人和社会生活带来了问题——而且在很多方面,一开始就误解了争论的意义)”可知,作者对卡耐基对争论的理解持批判态度。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Like physical fights, verbal fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. (就像打架一样,言语上的争吵会让双方都流血。即使你赢了,最终也不会好到哪里去。如果争论只是像网球锦标赛这样的比赛,你也会感觉几乎一样糟糕)”可知,许多人试图避免争论是因为即使赢了也会感觉不好。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. (当你和持立场的人交谈时,让他们给你一个他们观点的理由,并把他们的论点完整地____。评估其优缺点)”可知,spell out出现在清晰的论证步骤中,其中的关键逻辑连接词and表明,“spell out their argument (_____他们的论点)”是“give you a reason (给你一个理由)”的递进与深化。 首先,“给出理由”是初步说明,而spell out则要求在此基础上,将论点的所有细节、逻辑和前提都清晰、完整、有条理地阐述出来,这样才能为下一步“评估其优缺点”提供充分依据,因此spell out意为“解释”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument. (如果我们重新调整对争论的看法——从一场口舌之争或网球比赛转变为理性的交流,通过这种交流,我们都能相互理解——那么我们就改变了“赢得”争论的本质)”可知,作者认为赢得争论的关键是从双方视角看问题。故选C项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever walked away from a conversation with the sinking feeling that you said too much? Not because you were impolite or inconsiderate — but because you tried to explain yourself to someone who didn’t really want to understand? ____16____
Over-explaining happens often in our daily lives. This behavior originated in early survival strategies. For those raised in emotionally unpredictable households, clarity may be a form of self-protection to prevent punishment or emotional fallout. ____17____ People who have ever undergone trauma tend to explain a lot to avoid conflict or rejection.
Regardless of origin, the pattern is the same: We spend unnecessary energy trying to justify our right to take up space, to say no, or to make choices others might not like. ____18____ Clear language like “I’ve made my decision,” and “Let’s shift the conversation,” can actually do the trick. These direct statements prioritize emotional honesty without over-disclosure. And they don’t leave space for negotiation where none is guaranteed.
____19____ You spend less of it in practicing, defending, or recovering, and you needn’t always react to others’ discomfort. You also start attracting a different kind of relationship. It is based not on performance or submission, but on mutual respect. ____20____ You begin healing the part of you that believed love had to be earned through explanation. The version of you who felt unsafe being misunderstood learns a new truth: Your worth was never conditional or dependent on being agreeable or persuasive.
A. If so, you are not alone.
B. But maybe the biggest shift is internal.
C. Like any behavioral change, this takes practice.
D. But it’s not impossible to rid ourselves of the trouble.
E. When you stop over-explaining, you reclaim emotional energy.
F. Have you ever explained to show your politeness and consideration?
G. Over-explaining can also come from the way our brain is wired by past experiences.
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. D 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章以生活中“对话后因过度解释而不安”的常见场景引入,深入分析了过度解释的起源,随后提出改变过度解释的方法,最后阐述停止过度解释带来的积极影响。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Have you ever walked away from a conversation with the sinking feeling that you said too much? Not because you were impolite or inconsiderate — but because you tried to explain yourself to someone who didn’t really want to understand? (你是否曾在一场对话后离开时,带着一种自己说得太多的不安感?不是因为你无礼或考虑不周——而是因为你试图向一个根本不想理解你的人解释自己?)”引出“过度解释”的话题,可知,此空需回应这种经历是否普遍。A选项“If so, you are not alone. (如果是这样,你并不孤单。)”中“if so”直接承接前文的设问场景,又自然过渡到下文“Over-explaining happens often in our daily life. (过度解释在日常生活中很常见。)”的论述,符合语境。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Over-explaining happens often in our daily lives. This behavior originated in early survival strategies. For those raised in emotionally unpredictable households, clarity may be a form of self-protection to prevent punishment or emotional fallout. (过度解释在日常生活中很常见。这种行为源于早期的生存策略。对于在情绪不稳定的家庭中长大的人来说,清晰的解释可能是一种自我保护方式,以防止惩罚或情绪波动。)”可知,前文已提及过度解释的一个起源(早期生存策略与家庭环境),此空需补充其他起源。G选项“Over-explaining can also come from the way our brain is wired by past experiences. (过度解释也可能源于过去经历塑造的我们的大脑思维模式。)”中“also”体现递进关系,补充了“过往经历”这一起源,符合语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Regardless of origin, the pattern is the same: We spend unnecessary energy trying to justify our right to take up space, to say no, or to make choices others might not like. (无论起源如何,这种模式都是相同的:我们花费不必要的精力,试图证明自己有权利占据空间、说“不”或做出别人可能不喜欢的选择。)”可知,前文指出了过度解释的问题与负面影响,此空需转折并引出解决方法。D选项“But it’s not impossible to rid ourselves of the trouble. (但要摆脱这个困扰并非不可能。)”中“but”形成转折,打破前文“过度解释带来困扰”的负面氛围,“not impossible”传递出“可改变”的积极信号,自然引出后文“Clear language like “I’ve made my decision,” and “Let’s shift the conversation,” can actually do the trick. (像‘我已经做了决定’和‘我们换个话题吧’这样简洁的表达其实能解决问题。)”的具体方法,符合语境。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据后文“You spend less of it in practicing, defending, or recovering, and you needn’t always react to others’ discomfort. (你会少花精力去练习、辩解或恢复,也不必总是对别人的不适做出反应。)”可知,后文描述的是“停止过度解释”后节省精力的好处,此空需总领该内容。E选项“When you stop over-explaining, you reclaim emotional energy. (当你停止过度解释时,你会重新获得情感能量。)”中“reclaim emotional energy”直接概括了后文“少花精力在辩解、恢复”的核心好处,符合语境。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“You also start attracting a different kind of relationship. It is based not on performance or submission, but on mutual respect. (你还会开始吸引一种不同类型的关系。这种关系不基于表现或顺从,而是基于相互尊重。)”及后文“You begin healing the part of you that believed love had to be earned through explanation. (你开始疗愈内心那个认为“爱需要通过解释来争取”的部分。)”可知,前文阐述的是停止过度解释带来的“外在关系”变化,后文说明内在变化,故此空需转折并深入到“内在”层面。B选项“But maybe the biggest shift is internal. (但或许最大的改变在于内在。)”符合语境,引起下文。故选B项。

【54题详解】
考查介词。句意:许多游客说,是岳阳美丽的风景、深厚的文化底蕴和热情的人民给他们留下了深刻的印象。leave a deep impression on sb.是固定短语,意为“给某人留下深刻印象”,此空应是介词on。故填on。
【55题详解】
考查名词。句意:岳阳通过举办这次旅游发展大会,不仅提升了自身的影响力,也为其他城市推动文旅融合树立了良好榜样。根据“the __10__ of”可知,此空是名词作宾语。integrate的名词形式是integration,意为“融合”,表抽象概念,不可数。故填integration。
第四部分 写作 (满分25分)
56. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For years, my family hadn’t had a proper vacation, our lives consumed by busy schedules. This year, I was determined to plan a perfect getaway. My research led me to The Manor, a grand, historic hotel. As I studied a local tourist brochure, I saw it listed the hotel’s main attractions — an award-winning restaurant and a grand lighthouse. Simple activities like walking coastal paths and searching for unique sea glass were also mentioned. For this special vacation, I focused only on what I considered the best experiences. A simple walk on the beach? We could do that anywhere. I wanted the lighthouse climb and the luxury of a fancy dinner.
Just before we left, my father gave me a hug. “Remember,” he said softly, “we can’t control the circumstances, but we can always choose our attitude.” I thought of how he always managed to turn rainy days into opportunities for simple games, finding joy no matter what. I smiled, but confident in my mind that our trip would be so perfect that we would never need his wisdom.
Unfortunately, our journey began with an unexpected storm. A steady, cold rain poured down so heavily that we could barely see the landscape outside our car. Arriving at the hotel, our hopes for an afternoon swim were greeted by a sign on the locked pool door: “Closed for Renovation (翻修)”. Our next thought, a drink at the hotel bar, was met with another sign: “Closed on Mondays”. Defeated, we went to bed early, pinning all our remaining hopes on visiting the lighthouse the next morning.
The following day, the sky was still gray and cold, but at least the rain had softened. We drove to the lighthouse, our spirits lifting as we saw the grand structure rising before us. From the parking lot, we could see a small, unmarked path winding through the tall grass into the distance, but our focus was entirely on the lighthouse. “The view from the top will be amazing!” I shouted. I ran from the car to the gate, ready to start the climb. My heart sank as I read the large, metal sign posted there: CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS.
注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1: I turned and looked at my husband in disbelief.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: The path led to a silent beach.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Paragraph I: I turned and looked at my husband in disbelief. The grand lighthouse stood inaccessible behind the metal sign. My shoulders sank, the sting of disappointment sharp and cold in the damp air. Seeing my disappointment, he gave me a warm smile and said, “The big attractions are closed, but our adventure isn’t over.” His calm voice reminded me of my father’s advice: we can always choose our attitude. At that moment, I made a choice. I would not let a few locked doors ruin our family vacation. Taking a deep breath, I nodded toward the small path we had noticed earlier.
Paragraph 2: The path led to a silent beach. Instead of feeling disappointed by the gray weather, we took off our shoes and ran towards the waves. We had a simple walk on the beach. There we also found the colorful sea glass mentioned in the brochure. We spent the next hour like treasure hunters, laughing as we searched for the most beautiful pieces. We couldn’t change that our plans had failed, but we had changed our attitude. That simple choice gave us a more joyful and memorable day than any grand plan could have.

There’re lots of articles in which writers like me leave social media and report on how their lives have transformed. I swore I wouldn’t add to it. But here I am, writing about it. And I’m doing so because it didn’t change my life in quite the way that I expected or many of these essays promised it would.
I genuinely enjoyed Twitter. The problem was that I loved it a little too much. I’d find myself checking it when I should be working, running late to my daughters’ school events because I tried to fit in a quick glance or staying up far too late surfing vast oceans of information, tired and barely interested but unable to resist it.
In November, my friends encouraged me to drop my Twitter habit, at least for a little while. My life was overfull, and this was something I could cut out. I followed, though hesitantly and with a little bit of unwillingness, because I trust my friends and their wisdom.
I went from being on it nearly every day to being off it for two months now. Being offline didn’t make my life that joyful. But there is one way that leaving Twitter has benefited my life and my mind. The times when I checked Twitter were often the transition points in my day: when I waited in line or to pick up my kids from school. Freeing up those seemingly inconsequential moments has been transformative. These moments are nothing I really considered before and I even didn’t notice their departure when I began going online. Leaving them unfilled has changed how I walk through time. I may wave to a neighbor; I may feel gratitude or delight. I may notice that I feel tired or lonely. But this, too, is part of the gifts of these small moments.
Our days, which are so full of work and thinking, of disappointments and confusion, must have moments when nothing much is happening, moments when we get no input, no videos, no opinions.
4. What do we know about the author?
A. The author’s life was disturbed by the overuse of Twitter.
B. The author followed the friends’ advice without hestitation.
C. The author shared the same idea with other writers about Twitter.
D. The author’s interest in the information online drove him to check Twitter.
5. What does the underlined word “inconsequential” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Unforgettable. B. Unimportant. C. Tough. D. Boring.
6. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To persuade readers to block Twitter.
B. To show the influence of social media.
C. To share an unexpected benefit of staying offline.
D. To raise doubts about the promised effects of being offline.
7. What might be the best title for the text?
A. Free up Small Moments B. No Twitter, No Trouble
C. Take a Moment to Reflect D. Small Changes, Big Differences
C
Some talk of building settlements on the moon or Mars to help make sure humanity survives long into the future. Others have their sights set closer to home: on future cities under the ocean.
“Technologically speaking, it is absolutely possible to colonize the bottom of the sea,” says Fabien Cousteau, a well-known ocean explorer who once spent 31 days living in what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat, Aquarius. It’s about the size of a school bus and located 62 feet below the ocean surface off the Florida Keys.
Just as astronauts test what it would be like to live in space, aquanauts try out undersea living with an eye on the future. Escaping from disasters such as climate change, wars, or pandemics is one reason to live under the sea. Others include studying, exploring, or appreciating the ocean. It’s costly and expensive to constantly keep up an ocean habitat which must pump in or make its own air, electricity, and fresh water. Inhabitants have to deal with high pressure. And infections can develop rapidly due to high humidity.
Despite the challenges, several new ocean habitats and cities are under construction. A series of space station-like undersea living quarters for aquanauts called Proteus are scheduled to be completed by 2025 off Curacao, an island north of Venezuela in South America. An undersea colony called Ven Base Alpha will be built near a hydrothermal vent, which would supply it with energy. Meanwhile, an undersea city called Ocean Spiral in Japan would link its surface to the deep sea, using the difference in pressure to generate energy and produce fresh water. This sounds amazing, but it would be extremely expensive and remains just a design.
Not everyone agrees that building homes in the ocean is a good idea. This type of development could place even more strain on ecosystems that are already struggling with pollution and climate change. It’s important to make sure that any construction is done carefully, says Susanne Menden-Deuer, an oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island. Wild undersea habitats should be treated as “the precious, irreplaceable resource that they are,” she says.
8. What do we know about Aquarius?
A. It is still under construction.
B. It is the only ocean habitat in operation.
C. It functions as an undersea school bus.
D. It only allows a person to live there for 31 days.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The present and future of living under the sea.
B. The purpose and cost of building undersea settlements.
C. The reasons and challenges of living under the sea.
D. The problems and findings of building undersea settlements.
10. What would be the result of building homes in the ocean according to the text?
A. Rapid development of undersea habitats.
B. Protection of irreplaceable ocean resource.
C. Struggles with pollution and climate change.
D. Negative impacts on undersea ecosystems.
11. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A textbook. B. A travel guide. C. An academic journal. D. A science magazine.
D
In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument — and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise objections and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument — not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.
12. What is the author’s attitude toward Carnegie’s understanding of argument?
A. Tolerant. B. Approving. C. Critical. D. Indifferent.
13. Why do many people try to avoid arguments?
A. They lack debating skills.
B. They may feel upset even though they win.
C. They fear being neglected.
D. They don’t have faith in themselves.
14. What does the underlined phrase “spell out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Explain. B. Defend. C. Conclude. D. Fuel.
15. What is the key to “winning” an argument according to the author?
A. Strengthening sense of logic.
B. Gathering solid supporting evidence.
C. Seeing things from both sides’ perspectives.
D. Practicing proper manners.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever walked away from a conversation with the sinking feeling that you said too much? Not because you were impolite or inconsiderate — but because you tried to explain yourself to someone who didn’t really want to understand? ____16____
Over-explaining happens often in our daily lives. This behavior originated in early survival strategies. For those raised in emotionally unpredictable households, clarity may be a form of self-protection to prevent punishment or emotional fallout. ____17____ People who have ever undergone trauma tend to explain a lot to avoid conflict or rejection.
Regardless of origin, the pattern is the same: We spend unnecessary energy trying to justify our right to take up space, to say no, or to make choices others might not like. ____18____ Clear language like “I’ve made my decision,” and “Let’s shift the conversation,” can actually do the trick. These direct statements prioritize emotional honesty without over-disclosure. And they don’t leave space for negotiation where none is guaranteed.
____19____ You spend less of it in practicing, defending, or recovering, and you needn’t always react to others’ discomfort. You also start attracting a different kind of relationship. It is based not on performance or submission, but on mutual respect. ____20____ You begin healing the part of you that believed love had to be earned through explanation. The version of you who felt unsafe being misunderstood learns a new truth: Your worth was never conditional or dependent on being agreeable or persuasive.
A. If so, you are not alone.
B. But maybe the biggest shift is internal.
C. Like any behavioral change, this takes practice.
D. But it’s not impossible to rid ourselves of the trouble.
E. When you stop over-explaining, you reclaim emotional energy.
F. Have you ever explained to show your politeness and consideration?
G. Over-explaining can also come from the way our brain is wired by past experiences.

Panic replaced ____23____ optimism. I stopped answering phones and ____24____ myself in my room.

“What is wrong with you? You are a writer, so start writing for magazines.” she shouted. When I mentioned I was ____28____ about what to write, or even where to submit, she snapped, “____29____ the problem! You always got us out of trouble back then-now do the same for yourself.” The memory had _____30_____ my mind, but she was right about it.

For years, my family hadn’t had a proper vacation, our lives consumed by busy schedules. This year, I was determined to plan a perfect getaway. My research led me to The Manor, a grand, historic hotel. As I studied a local tourist brochure, I saw it listed the hotel’s main attractions — an award-winning restaurant and a grand lighthouse. Simple activities like walking coastal paths and searching for unique sea glass were also mentioned. For this special vacation, I focused only on what I considered the best experiences. A simple walk on the beach? We could do that anywhere. I wanted the lighthouse climb and the luxury of a fancy dinner.
Just before we left, my father gave me a hug. “Remember,” he said softly, “we can’t control the circumstances, but we can always choose our attitude.” I thought of how he always managed to turn rainy days into opportunities for simple games, finding joy no matter what. I smiled, but confident in my mind that our trip would be so perfect that we would never need his wisdom.
Unfortunately, our journey began with an unexpected storm. A steady, cold rain poured down so heavily that we could barely see the landscape outside our car. Arriving at the hotel, our hopes for an afternoon swim were greeted by a sign on the locked pool door: “Closed for Renovation (翻修)”. Our next thought, a drink at the hotel bar, was met with another sign: “Closed on Mondays”. Defeated, we went to bed early, pinning all our remaining hopes on visiting the lighthouse the next morning.
The following day, the sky was still gray and cold, but at least the rain had softened. We drove to the lighthouse, our spirits lifting as we saw the grand structure rising before us. From the parking lot, we could see a small, unmarked path winding through the tall grass into the distance, but our focus was entirely on the lighthouse. “The view from the top will be amazing!” I shouted. I ran from the car to the gate, ready to start the climb. My heart sank as I read the large, metal sign posted there: CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS.
