After more than 10 years, GoRice is growing up. A Game with a Cause GoRice is a quiz game that raises rice grains for each correct answer. In GoRice, players have to earn rice grains to fill a virtual bowl. This “unlocks” the donations of the private sponsors who fund the program — raise rice and you raise money. The funds then go to support The World Food Programme (WFP)’s work in emergencies — in countries impacted by conflict, climate disasters and rising prices. Categories for All Ages and Interests GoRice has more than 60 categories covering academic subjects, general knowledge, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and more. The most popular categories are English Vocabulary and the Multiplication Table. New content areas cover Women Leaders, Foods of the World and Pop Culture. These are the contributions of volunteers who include educational influencers, academics and GoRice fans. Now there are even more ways to learn and give back. The new GoRice aims to provide young people with resources and ideas on how to become advocates in their communities. Visitors can read stories on the Blog and submit their own stories to be featured on the program. Some of the latest stories you’ll find on GoRice include: • How climate change is affecting our food systems • 5 tips on how to live a more sustainable life • How to incorporate more pulses into your diet • The power of corn Schools are one of GoRice’s biggest audiences, so the new program also offers printable materials for the classroom, including an A-Z ebook that introduces WFP’s work, a toolkit for using the game and certificates of participation to reward players for raising rice grains. 21.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了GoRice这一非营利性项目如何通过游戏助力世界粮食计划署并鼓励年轻人参与公益。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据A Game with a Cause部分中“GoRice is a quiz game that raises rice grains for each correct answer. In GoRice, players have to earn rice grains to fill a virtual bowl. This “unlocks” the donations of the private sponsors who fund the program — raise rice and you raise money.

The most popular categories are English Vocabulary and the Multiplication Table. New content areas cover Women Leaders, Foods of the World and Pop Culture.

After more than 10 years, GoRice is growing up.(GoRice旨在赋予年轻人权力并让他们参与进来，以了解更多关于饥饿、可持续性和性别平等等问题。十多年后，GoRice正在成长。)”可知，文章主要是为了介绍了GoRice这一非营利性项目。故选A。 B Ten years ago, a private investigator appeared at my door. “I’m here to investigate the person who lives here,” she announced, then entered my home and slowly explored. Her eyes swept from the decorations on the wall to the red Turkish mat on the floor. She stopped at a glass and yellow cake trolley — a gift from my mother. On top sat a manuscript: the handwritten memoirs of a ninety-nine-year-old World War II veteran. His daughter had asked for my help turning his stories into a literary family legacy. The investigator moved to the living room. A curtain, trimmed with crystal beads, hung from a French window. The sunlight made the crystals swing, casting rainbows on the ceiling. “I made it myself,” I said. “I love the cherry-red fabric.” She nodded and approached the bookshelf. She ran her finger along the spines, mouthing titles of autobiography, then moved to a pink wardrobe filled with family photos, a globe, and travel souvenirs. Room by room she made notes. When she finished, she said, “I’ve got everything I need. A full profile on you.” As I read her analysis, I learned more about my preferences, talents, and style — things I hadn’t fully recognized before. This profile became the first step toward designing a life aligned with my unique joys and skills. In truth, the private investigator was me. I learned of this self-discovery exercise called The Private-Eye Game. It opened my eyes to my authentic self, guiding me to create a lifestyle that truly reflected my talents and desires. The exercise is simple: examine your life from this detective perspective. In your home or workspace, look closely at your belongings and note what they reveal about you. Search for subtle clues that tell you about your interests and talents. Once you’ve gathered information, write a “portrait of yourself” — a detailed profile. Reflect on it: Are there surprises? When I did this, I realized my wardrobe choices didn’t reflect my true style. I preferred comfort and light colors over high heels and reds. I discovered my love of travel, curiosity about cultures, and talent for drawing out people’s stories. These insights helped me craft a richer, more fulfilling life. What might you uncover? Your personal space holds clues about your talents, interests, and desires — things you may have overlooked. With greater clarity, you can make conscious choices to live more authentically, beyond just your home. 24. What was the investigator doing in the author’s room? A. Investigating a crime. B. Appreciating the room. C. Collecting information. D. Searching for a manuscript. 25. What is The Private-Eye Game intended for? A. Building a virtual life. B. Discovering one’s true self. C. Creating a personal space. D. Developing one’s potential. 26. What can we know about the writer? A. She likes red stuff. B. She ignores her strengths. C. She is good at story writing. D. She dislikes tidying up rooms. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. People with a detailed profile enjoy a fulfilling life. B. A shift in perspective reveals one’s hidden aspects. C. Self-discovery requires reevaluating possessions. D. An original portrait displays one’s inner world. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过“私人侦探游戏”换位观察自己的生活环境，发现了自己未曾意识到的兴趣和才能，从而更加真实地塑造人生。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Room by room, she made notes. When she finished, she said, “I’ve got everything I need. A full profile on you.” (她一个房间一个房间地记录。完成后，她说：“我已经收集了所有我需要的东西，一份关于你的完整档案。”)”可知，这名调查者在作者的屋子中收集信息，形成个人档案。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“I learned of this self-discovery exercise called The Private-Eye Game. It opened my eyes to my authentic self, guiding me to create a lifestyle that truly reflected my talents and desires. (我了解到这个叫“私人侦探游戏”的自我发现练习。它让我看清真实的自己，引导我创造一种真正反映自己才华和渴望的生活方式)”可知，“私人侦探游戏”的目的是发现真实的自己。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“I discovered my love of travel, curiosity about cultures, and talent for drawing out people’s stories. (我发现自己热爱旅行，对文化充满好奇，并且有挖掘人们故事的天赋)”可知，作者擅长写故事。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“The exercise is simple: examine your life from this detective perspective. In your home or workspace, look closely at your belongings and note what they reveal about you. Search for subtle clues that tell you about your interests and talents. (练习很简单：从侦探的角度审视你的生活。在你的家里或工作场所，仔细观察你的物品，注意它们揭示了你的什么。寻找能告诉你兴趣和才能的细微线索)”和最后一段中“What might you uncover? Your personal space holds clues about your talents, interests, and desires — things you may have overlooked. (你会发现什么？你的个人空间暗示着你的才能、兴趣和渴望——那些你可能忽略的东西)”可知，文章主要展现了作者换一个视角观察自己的生活后，发现之前被忽略的东西，找到真实的自己的经历。由此可知，故事告诉我们“视角的转变揭示一个人隐藏的方面”。故选B项。 C Why do we get angry, fearful, joyful, or anxious? What’s the point in having emotions? In many instances in life we wish we could do away with emotions altogether, particularly the unpleasant ones like fear, anxiety, and anger. Remaining calm and peaceful often feels preferable to experiencing extreme ups and downs. But what if we regard emotions as key to decision making — and start to see that without them we would start to make some truly unwise choices? Emotions then become more than childlike yelps (joy) and screams (anger); instead, they are bodily processes that signal value, influence risk assessment, and speed up judgements in uncertain situations. Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio developed the “somatic marker hypothesis” in response to observations made in neurological patients who had suffered damage to the brain’s frontal lobe. Before the onset of brain damage the patients were intelligent, creative, and successful— but after damage the patients struggled to organise their workday, had problems planning their future over immediate, medium and long-range goals, and could no longer choose suitable friends, partners, and activities. The plans they organised, the groups they elected to join, or the activities they undertook often led to financial losses, losses in social standing, and losses to family and friends, Damasio writes in his paper, The Somatic marker Hypothesis and the Possible Functions of the Prefrontal Cortex. Not only were the choices made by patients no longer personally advantageous, but they were also demonstrably different from the choices the patients were known to have made prior to brain damage. But in all other aspects of intellect— basic attention and working memory, the ability to use logic in the solution of problems, the learning of factual knowledge and skills, even their knowledge of social issues — the patients were otherwise perfectly fine. Interestingly, in conjunction with impaired decision making, patients also suffered a compromised ability to express emotion and to experience feelings. “Along with normal intellect and abnormal decision making, there were abnormalities in emotion and feeling,” writes Damasio. When we feel joy, rage, disgust — the entire body’s internal environment, including muscles, organs, fluids, and physiological states including blood pressure and temperature, shift in response, and this “somatic” response is what drives decision making. We meet someone who gives us a “bad taste in the mouth” and we don’t invite them around for dinner. Without emotion and the accompanying somatic markers — a pounding heart rate, tight face, lump in the throat, dry mouth, butterflies in the stomach, sweaty hands, and so forth — we would, more often than not, according to Damasio’s hypothesis, make sub-optimal decisions in our everyday life. 28. What did Damasio find about patients with frontal lobe damage? A. Failure to learn some social skills. B. Decline in their working memory. C. Inability to express their emotions. D. Difficulty in making wise decisions. 29. What does the word “somatic” underlined in Para.3 most possibly mean? A. Intellectual. B. Emotional. C. Bodily. D. Logical. 30. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Feeling Our Way B. Head Ruling Heart C. Trusting the Senses D. Calm Before Storm 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了情绪对决策的关键作用，结合相关假说展开说明。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Before the onset of brain damage, the patients were intelligent, creative, and successful— but after damage the patients struggled to organise their workday, had problems planning their future over immediate, medium and long-range goals, and could no longer choose suitable friends, partners, and activities.(在脑损伤发作之前，这些患者都很聪明、有创造力且成功，但在脑损伤后，患者很难安排自己的工作日程，在规划近期、中期和长期目标方面存在问题，也无法再选择合适的朋友、伴侣和活动。)”可知，Damasio发现额叶受损的患者难以做出明智的决定。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio developed the “somatic marker hypothesis” in response to observations made in neurological patients who had suffered damage to the brain’s frontal lobe.(神经科学家Antonio Damasio提出了“somatic标记假说”，以回应在对大脑额叶受损的神经患者的观察中所发现的情况。)”以及第五段中“When we feel joy, rage, disgust — the entire body’s internal environment, including muscles, organs, fluids, and physiological states including blood pressure and temperature, shift in response, and this “somatic” response is what drives decision making.(当我们感到喜悦、愤怒、厌恶时——整个身体的内部环境，包括肌肉、器官、体液和包括血压和体温在内的生理状态都会发生相应的变化，而这种‘somatic’反应正是驱动决策的因素。)”可知，somatic与身体的内部环境、肌肉、器官等生理状态相关，故推测somatic意为“身体的”。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“But what if we regard emotions as key to decision making — and start to see that without them we would start to make some truly unwise choices? Emotions then become more than childlike yelps (joy) and screams (anger); instead, they are bodily processes that signal value, influence risk assessment, and speed up judgements in uncertain situations.(但是，如果我们把情绪看作是决策的关键，并开始意识到没有情绪我们就会做出一些真正不明智的选择呢？那么，情绪就不仅仅是孩子般的欢呼（喜悦）和尖叫（愤怒）；相反，它们是在不确定情况下发出价值信号、影响风险评估和加速判断的身体过程。)”以及第五段中“When we feel joy, rage, disgust — the entire body’s internal environment, including muscles, organs, fluids, and physiological states including blood pressure and temperature, shift in response, and this “somatic” response is what drives decision making.(当我们感到喜悦、愤怒、厌恶时——整个身体的内部环境，包括肌肉、器官、体液和包括血压和体温在内的生理状态都会发生相应的变化，而这种‘躯体’反应正是驱动决策的因素。)”可知，文章核心围绕“情绪通过躯体反应影响决策”展开，强调感受（情绪）对行动（决策）的指引作用。A选项“Feeling Our Way(凭感觉行事)”最符合文章主旨。故选A。 D What are you doing later: wandering through Van Gogh’s landscapes, time-travelling to ancient Egypt? These are the kinds of “immersive” experiences we are increasingly flooded with. The immersive entertainment market globally was valued at around $114 billion in 2024, and it is predicted to almost quadruple to roughly $442 billion by 2030. As a journalist and life-long pop culture fan, I am simultaneously fascinated and unsettled by immersive entertainment. My most memorable experiences of it were personalised and powerfully emotive, making me exhilarated, tearful, even “cybersick”. When we are wrapped up in a narrative, particularly one relayed through a headset, we are removed from real time. It isn’t the escapism that worries me though — great culture frees us from everyday constraints — it is the insularity (孤立). Immersive events stress the subjective viewpoint, often at the expense of the communal energy that fuels social atmosphere, so even packed-out immersive shows can seem like solitary pursuits, with human companions resembling NPCs (non-playable video game characters). The cultural academic Keren Zaiontz coined a sharp term for our consumption of immersive entertainment: “narcissistic spectatorship”. One study found VR use induced dissociative symptoms in 83.9 percent of participants. The long-term effects remain undefined, but research has highlighted recurring themes of addiction to the experience and isolation. Over at London’s Barbican Centre, Feel the Sound is a new immersive exhibition whose installations offer imaginative personalised features, including Your Inner Symphony’s “sensing stations”, which generate unique visuals by tracking our bodily reactions to music. Luke Kemp, who heads up the Barbican’s immersive programming, says these experiences respond to our need for “playful” cultural spaces, accessible regardless of prior knowledge: “It allows the audience to feel part of something”. Robyn Landau at Kinda Studios, co-developer of Your Inner Symphony, points out the link to interoception — our awareness of our body’s inner senses. “When we have these transformative experiences individually that connect us to ourselves, they actually transform how we show up in the world and the way we connect to others,” she says. According to psychologist Sophie Janicke-Bowles, immersive experiences “can have an incredible recovery effect on our mind, where we can detach from our everyday concerns and cognitively, emotionally and even physiologically get absorbed into something different”. But for me, there is still a curious tension at play in immersive entertainment, and I am torn about where the rapidly developing scene is taking us. It does give us an opportunity to tune into ourselves, but I am less convinced it amplifies our bond with those around us. If we remain fixated by our own reflections, then we are missing the bigger picture. Immersive entertainment might make VIPs of us all, but culture should also bring us together. 31. What can we learn about the author’s immersive experiences? A. They free the author from restrictions. B. They lift the author out of an awful mood. C. They leave the author feeling alone in the crowd. D. They cause the author to be emotionally unstable. 32. What can be inferred about Luke Kemp’s view on immersive experiences? A. They make people feel included. B. They lead to self-focused perspectives. C. They help with mental wellness. D. They transform our social interactions. 33. The author mentions Your Inner Symphony mainly to ________. A. restate an argument B. propose a concept C. provide an example D. present an opinion 34. The author considers Sophie Janicke-Bowles’s view ________. A. partial B. insightful C. confusing D. practical 【答案】31. C 32. A 33. D 34. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了沉浸式娱乐体验的利弊，包括其带来的情感冲击、孤立感及对个体与社会关系的影响。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Immersive events stress the subjective viewpoint, often at the expense of the communal energy that fuels social atmosphere, so even packed-out immersive shows can seem like solitary pursuits, with human companions resembling NPCs (non-playable video game characters). (沉浸式活动强调主观观点，往往以牺牲激发社会氛围的集体能量为代价，因此即使是座无虚席的沉浸式表演也可能看起来像是孤独的追求，人类同伴就像非玩家角色。)”可知，作者的沉浸式体验让作者感到在人群中很孤独。故选C。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Luke Kemp, who heads up the Barbican’s immersive programming, says these experiences respond to our need for “playful” cultural spaces, accessible regardless of prior knowledge: “It allows the audience to feel part of something”. (负责巴比肯沉浸式节目策划的卢克·肯普表示，这些体验满足了我们对“有趣”文化空间的需求，无论是否有先验知识都可以参与其中：“它让观众感受到自己是其中的一部分”。)”可知，卢克·肯普认为沉浸式体验让观众感受到自己是其中的一部分，即让观众感到被包含在内。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Over at London’s Barbican Centre, Feel the Sound is a new immersive exhibition whose installations offer imaginative personalised features, including Your Inner Symphony’s “sensing stations”, which generate unique visuals by tracking our bodily reactions to music. Luke Kemp, who heads up the Barbican’s immersive programming, says these experiences respond to our need for “playful” cultural spaces, accessible regardless of prior knowledge: “It allows the audience to feel part of something”. (在伦敦巴比肯艺术中心，一场名为“聆听声音”的全新沉浸式展览正在举办。展览中的装置作品兼具创意与个性化特色，其中《内心交响曲》项目的“感知站”，能通过追踪人体对音乐的反应生成独特视觉效果。巴比肯中心沉浸式项目负责人卢克・肯普表示，这些体验满足了人们对“富有趣味性”的文化空间的需求，无论是否有相关知识储备都能参与：“它让观众感觉自己是某件事的一部分。”)”可知，作者提及该作品是为了通过开发者的表述，传递沉浸式体验与自我、社交相关的观点。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中“According to psychologist Sophie Janicke-Bowles, immersive experiences “can have an incredible recovery effect on our mind, where we can detach from our everyday concerns and cognitively, emotionally and even physiologically get absorbed into something different”. (根据心理学家索菲·贾尼克-鲍尔斯的说法，沉浸式体验“可以对我们的心灵产生令人难以置信的恢复效果，我们可以摆脱日常的烦恼，在认知、情感甚至生理上投入到不同的东西中”。)”以及最后一段中作者的观点“It does give us an opportunity to tune into ourselves, but I am less convinced it amplifies our bond with those around us. (它确实给了我们关注自我的机会，但我不太相信它能加强我们与周围人的联结。)”可知，作者认可该观点中沉浸式体验对心灵的修复作用，但认为其未提及社交联结层面，观点不够全面。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” ___35___ Darkness and fear may cloud our vision, but moments of light — like flashes in a storm — reveal that our goals and dreams remain. When overwhelmed by uncertainty, helplessness often takes over. Yet, as Thich Naht Hanh teaches, “The only way out is in.” ___36___ Positive psychology shows that trusting yourself depends on cultivating inner peace and recognizing your character strengths. Researchers studied 16,716 individuals from over 50 countries to understand traits linked to self-trust during uncertainty. They found that those with strong trust consistently reported greater inner peace. This group excelled in three emotional character strengths — gratitude, love, and hope. ___37___ Gratitude, the most studied of the three, is particularly powerful. It focuses on what has already happened, requiring no invention or manipulation. ___38___ Instead of recalling only average events, asking for “three things you were grateful for yesterday” directs the brain to retrieve positive experiences. Over time, this reshapes our perspective, helping us savor moments and feel better. Daily challenges — political, financial, or personal — are unavoidable, but they need not consume us. By practicing gratitude, we train our minds to notice what uplifts us. This shift in perception fosters self-trust, reminding us that peace and strength lie within. ___39___ Savor them. This simple practice opens the door to inner peace, proving that storms may rage, but stars still shine. With gratitude comes self-trust, and with self-trust comes a life of resilience and meaning. A. Practicing gratitude changes how our brain searches memories. B. This reminds us that even in difficult times, we can find guidance and hope. C. Inner strength allows us to shift our focus inward, finding calm amid chaos. D. Try it now: recall three experiences from the last 24 hours that made you grateful. E. They promote harmony and resilience, and importantly, they can be taught and developed. F. These strengths are valuable as they arise naturally in times of crisis and play a vital role in hardship. G. It mainly helps people forget negative experiences, allowing the brain to erase unpleasant memories over time. 【答案】35. B 36. C 37. E 38. A 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要指出逆境中的出路在于向内寻求平静，而研究发现，感恩、爱与希望这三种情感力量能促进内在平静与韧性，其中练习感恩尤能重塑大脑对积极记忆的提取，从而建立持久的心理力量。 【35题详解】 前文“Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” (马丁·路德·金曾经说过：“只有当黑暗足够深时，才能看到那些星星。”)”引用马丁·路德·金的名言，后文“Darkness and fear may cloud our vision, but moments of light — like flashes in a storm — reveal that our goals and dreams remain. (黑暗和恐惧可能遮蔽我们的视野，但瞬间的光明——就像暴风雨中的闪光——表明我们的目标和梦想依然存在)”提到黑暗中仍有可能追寻目标和梦想，因此B项“This reminds us that even in difficult times, we can find guidance and hope. (这提醒我们即使在困难时期，也能找到指引和希望)”符合语境，点明名言的启发，承前启后，其中的This指代前文的名言。故选B。 【36题详解】 前文“When overwhelmed by uncertainty, helplessness often takes over. Yet, as Thich Naht Hanh teaches, “The only way out is in.” (当被不确定性淹没时，无助感往往会取而代之。然而，正如一行禅师所说，“唯一的出路在内。”)”提到无助感与一行禅师的“出路在内”，后文“Positive psychology shows that trusting yourself depends on cultivating inner peace and recognizing your character strengths. (积极心理学表明，信任自己取决于培养内心平静和认识到自己的性格优势)”引出培养内心平静的研究，因此C项“Inner strength allows us to shift our focus inward, finding calm amid chaos. (内在力量让我们转向内心，在混乱中找到平静)”符合语境，解释“出路在内”的含义，承前启后，其中的Inner在后文有同词复现。故选C。 【37题详解】  前文“They found that those with strong trust consistently reported greater inner peace. This group excelled in three emotional character strengths — gratitude, love, and hope. (他们发现，那些有强烈信任的人总是表现出更大的内心平静。这组人在三种情感性格优势上表现出色——感恩、爱和希望)”指出研究结果为感恩、爱、希望三种特质，此处需补充对这些特质的评价，因此E项“They promote harmony and resilience, and importantly, they can be taught and developed. (它们能促进和谐、增强适应力，而且重要的是，这些能力是可以通过教学来培养和提升的。)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的They指代前文的gratitude, love, and hope。故选E。 【38题详解】 前文“It focuses on what has already happened, requiring no invention or manipulation. (它关注的是已经发生的事情，不需要创造或操纵)”指出感恩的特点，后文“Instead of recalling only average events, asking for “three things you were grateful for yesterday” directs the brain to retrieve positive experiences. Over time, this reshapes our perspective, helping us savor moments and feel better. (问“昨天你感激的三件事”，而不是只回忆一般的事情，可以引导大脑检索积极的经历。随着时间的推移，这会重塑我们的观点，帮助我们品味时刻，感觉更好)”介绍具体的训练感恩的方法，以及这一做法的好处，因此A项“Practicing gratitude changes how our brain searches memories. (练习感恩会改变大脑搜索记忆的方式)”符合语境，点明练习感恩与大脑搜索记忆之间的关联，承前启后。故选A。 【39题详解】 前一段中“By practicing gratitude, we train our minds to notice what uplifts us. This shift in perception fosters self-trust, reminding us that peace and strength lie within. (通过训练感恩，我们训练我们的大脑去注意那些让我们振奋的事情。这种观念的转变培养了自信，提醒我们内心的平静与力量)”总结感恩训练的积极效果，后文“Savor them. This simple practice opens the door to inner peace, proving that storms may rage, but stars still shine. (品味它们。这个简单的练习打开了内心平静的大门，证明了风暴可能会肆虐，但星星仍然会发光)”给出进一步的做法，并用比喻描述其效果，其中的them需指代具体内容，因此D项“Try it now: recall three experiences from the last 24 hours that made you grateful. (现在试试：回忆过去24小时中三件让你感恩的事)”符合语境，建议尝试训练感恩，承接前一段内容，引出后文，其中的three experiences是后文them指代的对象。故选D。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答 Growing up, I was different. When I was four, I was officially diagnosed with autism (自闭症). Before that, I had ADHD and a peanut allergy. I was a late talker. I hated loud noises. Any changes in routine completely threw me off. As a schoolboy, I felt like the least interesting person on Earth. No one seemed to understand me, and people were uncomfortable with me being different. I felt excluded by other students. Since I could not fit in, I chose silence — even though I had so much to say. Toward the end of my freshman year, something changed. After holding everything in for too long, the pressure built until I couldn’t take it. Like a bear that had been poked one too many times, my inner bear finally roared. I was done trying to please others or shrinking myself to fit in. I decided I wasn’t going to stay quiet anymore. I joined my high school’s media club, where for the first time I had friends and a sense of belonging. That was when I discovered the world of podcasting. During this early podcasting experience, I learnt about recording, editing and creating. Something else also changed — I felt a sense of self-worth, and my confidence grew. Later, I started my own podcast — Autism rocks and Rolls. At first, it was just a way to use my voice. But I quickly realized I was speaking up for others too. I’ve had listeners tell me they found themselves nodding along while listening. It means understanding. It means someone out there gets it, and that’s powerful. The podcast has now reached places I never expected. I’ve interviewed celebrities and leading experts, delivered a TEDx Talk and connected with thousands of listeners around the world. The most fulfilling part, though, is knowing that I’m opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard. Back then, I never imagined my voice would reach this far. Thinking no one was listening, for years, I held everything in. But once the bear found its voice, I didn’t go back into hiding. I kept speaking, and now I have a platform where others can roar too. There are more than 8 billion people on the planet. Someone will get you. It may not be who you expect and it may take time, but someone will. Keep going. Keep speaking. You will be heard. 40. What made the author feel excluded as a schoolboy? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. How did the author’s early podcasting experience benefit him? ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶For the author, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his voice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. From this story, what can you learn about growth? (In about 40 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. No one seemed to understand him, and people were uncomfortable with him being different. 41. He learnt about recording, editing and creating. He also felt a sense of self-worth, and his confidence grew. 42. For the author, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his voice. According to the passage, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is knowing that he’s opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard. 43. From this story I know that growth means accepting one’s differences, daring to speak up, and not giving up. Even if you feel unheard at first, persistence will help you find your platform and be understood. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从自闭到通过播客发声的成长历程。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第一段“Growing up, I was different. When I was four, I was officially diagnosed with autism (自闭症). Before that, I had ADHD and a peanut allergy. I was a late talker. I hated loud noises. Any changes in routine completely threw me off.(在成长过程中，我与众不同。当我四岁的时候，我被正式诊断为自闭症。在那之前，我患有多动症和花生过敏。我是一个说话晚的人。我讨厌吵闹。日常生活中的任何变化都让我感到厌烦)”和第二段中“No one seemed to understand me, and people were uncomfortable with me being different. I felt excluded by other students.(似乎没有人理解我，人们对我的与众不同感到不舒服。我觉得其他学生排挤了我)”可知，作者作为学生时感到被排挤是因为没有人理解他，人们对他的与众不同感到不舒服。故答案为No one seemed to understand him, and people were uncomfortable with him being different. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第四段中“During this early podcasting experience, I learnt about recording, editing and creating. Something else also changed — I felt a sense of self-worth, and my confidence grew.(在早期的播客体验中，我学习了录音、编辑和创作。还有一件事也发生了变化——我有了自我价值感，我的信心也增强了)”可知，作者早期的播客经历让他学会了录音、编辑和创作，并且让他有了自我价值感，信心也增强了。故答案为He learnt about recording, editing and creating. He also felt a sense of self-worth, and his confidence grew. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第六段中“The most fulfilling part, though, is knowing that I’m opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard.(不过，最让我感到满足的是，我知道我正在让人们听到并理解那些一直被忽视的人的声音)”可知，对于作者来说，播客经历中最有收获的部分是知道他正在让人们听到并理解那些一直被忽视的人的声音，而不是仅仅用它来表达自己的声音。错误的部分是“it is a way to use his voice”，故答案为For the author, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his voice. According to the passage, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is knowing that he’s opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard. 【43题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：从这个故事中，你能学到什么关于成长的知识？（约40字）答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：这告诉我们成长是一个不断发现自我、表达自我并影响他人的过程。即使面临困难，只要坚持并表达自己，总会有人听到并理解你的声音。故答案为From this story I know that growth means accepting one’s differences, daring to speak up, and not giving up. Even if you feel unheard at first, persistence will help you find your platform and be understood. 第二节（20分） 44. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国好友Jim对你校即将开展的“青春创意，温暖邻里”的社区公益活动很感兴趣，发来邮件向你询问。请你用英文给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 活动内容； 2. 活动意义。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Jim, Thanks for your interest in our upcoming community service event!

After more than 10 years, GoRice is growing up. A Game with a Cause GoRice is a quiz game that raises rice grains for each correct answer. In GoRice, players have to earn rice grains to fill a virtual bowl. This “unlocks” the donations of the private sponsors who fund the program — raise rice and you raise money. The funds then go to support The World Food Programme (WFP)’s work in emergencies — in countries impacted by conflict, climate disasters and rising prices. Categories for All Ages and Interests GoRice has more than 60 categories covering academic subjects, general knowledge, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and more. The most popular categories are English Vocabulary and the Multiplication Table. New content areas cover Women Leaders, Foods of the World and Pop Culture. These are the contributions of volunteers who include educational influencers, academics and GoRice fans. Now there are even more ways to learn and give back. The new GoRice aims to provide young people with resources and ideas on how to become advocates in their communities. Visitors can read stories on the Blog and submit their own stories to be featured on the program. Some of the latest stories you’ll find on GoRice include: • How climate change is affecting our food systems • 5 tips on how to live a more sustainable life • How to incorporate more pulses into your diet • The power of corn Schools are one of GoRice’s biggest audiences, so the new program also offers printable materials for the classroom, including an A-Z ebook that introduces WFP’s work, a toolkit for using the game and certificates of participation to reward players for raising rice grains. 21. How does GoRice help support WFP? A. By improving upon rice farming. B. By unlocking sponsors’ donations. C. By asking players to donate money. D. By providing material aid in emergencies. 22. What can we know about GoRice’s categories? A. There are over 60 categories targeting teenagers. B. The new content includes English Vocabulary. C. Most popular categories are from academics. D. Volunteers can contribute new content areas. 23. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a non-profit program. B. To attract people to submit stories. C. To persuade people to play games. D. To inform people of WFP’s work. B Ten years ago, a private investigator appeared at my door. “I’m here to investigate the person who lives here,” she announced, then entered my home and slowly explored. Her eyes swept from the decorations on the wall to the red Turkish mat on the floor. She stopped at a glass and yellow cake trolley — a gift from my mother. On top sat a manuscript: the handwritten memoirs of a ninety-nine-year-old World War II veteran. His daughter had asked for my help turning his stories into a literary family legacy. The investigator moved to the living room. A curtain, trimmed with crystal beads, hung from a French window. The sunlight made the crystals swing, casting rainbows on the ceiling. “I made it myself,” I said. “I love the cherry-red fabric.” She nodded and approached the bookshelf. She ran her finger along the spines, mouthing titles of autobiography, then moved to a pink wardrobe filled with family photos, a globe, and travel souvenirs. Room by room, she made notes. When she finished, she said, “I’ve got everything I need. A full profile on you.” As I read her analysis, I learned more about my preferences, talents, and style — things I hadn’t fully recognized before. This profile became the first step toward designing a life aligned with my unique joys and skills. In truth, the private investigator was me. I learned of this self-discovery exercise called The Private-Eye Game. It opened my eyes to my authentic self, guiding me to create a lifestyle that truly reflected my talents and desires. The exercise is simple: examine your life from this detective perspective. In your home or workspace, look closely at your belongings and note what they reveal about you. Search for subtle clues that tell you about your interests and talents. Once you’ve gathered information, write a “portrait of yourself” — a detailed profile. Reflect on it: Are there surprises? When I did this, I realized my wardrobe choices didn’t reflect my true style. I preferred comfort and light colors over high heels and reds. I discovered my love of travel, curiosity about cultures, and talent for drawing out people’s stories. These insights helped me craft a richer, more fulfilling life. What might you uncover? Your personal space holds clues about your talents, interests, and desires — things you may have overlooked. With greater clarity, you can make conscious choices to live more authentically, beyond just your home. 24. What was the investigator doing in the author’s room? A. Investigating a crime. B. Appreciating the room. C. Collecting information. D. Searching for a manuscript. 25. What is The Private-Eye Game intended for? A. Building a virtual life. B. Discovering one’s true self. C. Creating a personal space. D. Developing one’s potential. 26. What can we know about the writer? A. She likes red stuff. B. She ignores her strengths. C. She is good at story writing. D. She dislikes tidying up rooms. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. People with a detailed profile enjoy a fulfilling life. B. A shift in perspective reveals one’s hidden aspects. C. Self-discovery requires reevaluating possessions. D. An original portrait displays one’s inner world. C Why do we get angry, fearful, joyful, or anxious? What’s the point in having emotions? In many instances in life we wish we could do away with emotions altogether, particularly the unpleasant ones like fear, anxiety, and anger. Remaining calm and peaceful often feels preferable to experiencing extreme ups and downs. But what if we regard emotions as key to decision making — and start to see that without them we would start to make some truly unwise choices? Emotions then become more than childlike yelps (joy) and screams (anger); instead, they are bodily processes that signal value, influence risk assessment, and speed up judgements in uncertain situations. Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio developed the “somatic marker hypothesis” in response to observations made in neurological patients who had suffered damage to the brain’s frontal lobe. Before the onset of brain damage, the patients were intelligent, creative, and successful— but after damage the patients struggled to organise their workday, had problems planning their future over immediate, medium and long-range goals, and could no longer choose suitable friends, partners, and activities. The plans they organised, the groups they elected to join, or the activities they undertook often led to financial losses, losses in social standing, and losses to family and friends, Damasio writes in his paper, The Somatic marker Hypothesis and the Possible Functions of the Prefrontal Cortex. Not only were the choices made by patients no longer personally advantageous, but they were also demonstrably different from the choices the patients were known to have made prior to brain damage. But in all other aspects of intellect— basic attention and working memory, the ability to use logic in the solution of problems, the learning of factual knowledge and skills, even their knowledge of social issues — the patients were otherwise perfectly fine. Interestingly, in conjunction with impaired decision making, patients also suffered a compromised ability to express emotion and to experience feelings. “Along with normal intellect and abnormal decision making, there were abnormalities in emotion and feeling,” writes Damasio. When we feel joy, rage, disgust — the entire body’s internal environment, including muscles, organs, fluids, and physiological states including blood pressure and temperature, shift in response, and this “somatic” response is what drives decision making. We meet someone who gives us a “bad taste in the mouth” and we don’t invite them around for dinner. Without emotion and the accompanying somatic markers — a pounding heart rate, tight face, lump in the throat, dry mouth, butterflies in the stomach, sweaty hands, and so forth — we would, more often than not, according to Damasio’s hypothesis, make sub-optimal decisions in our everyday life. 28 What did Damasio find about patients with frontal lobe damage? A. Failure to learn some social skills. B. Decline in their working memory. C. Inability to express their emotions. D. Difficulty in making wise decisions. 29. What does the word “somatic” underlined in Para.3 most possibly mean? A. Intellectual. B. Emotional. C. Bodily. D. Logical. 30 Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Feeling Our Way B. Head Ruling Heart C. Trusting the Senses D. Calm Before Storm D What are you doing later: wandering through Van Gogh’s landscapes, time-travelling to ancient Egypt? These are the kinds of “immersive” experiences we are increasingly flooded with. The immersive entertainment market globally was valued at around $114 billion in 2024, and it is predicted to almost quadruple to roughly $442 billion by 2030. As a journalist and life-long pop culture fan, I am simultaneously fascinated and unsettled by immersive entertainment. My most memorable experiences of it were personalised and powerfully emotive, making me exhilarated, tearful, even “cybersick”. When we are wrapped up in a narrative, particularly one relayed through a headset, we are removed from real time. It isn’t the escapism that worries me, though — great culture frees us from everyday constraints — it is the insularity (孤立). Immersive events stress the subjective viewpoint, often at the expense of the communal energy that fuels social atmosphere, so even packed-out immersive shows can seem like solitary pursuits, with human companions resembling NPCs (non-playable video game characters). The cultural academic Keren Zaiontz coined a sharp term for our consumption of immersive entertainment: “narcissistic spectatorship”. One study found VR use induced dissociative symptoms in 83.9 percent of participants. The long-term effects remain undefined, but research has highlighted recurring themes of addiction to the experience and isolation. Over at London’s Barbican Centre, Feel the Sound is a new immersive exhibition whose installations offer imaginative personalised features, including Your Inner Symphony’s “sensing stations”, which generate unique visuals by tracking our bodily reactions to music. Luke Kemp, who heads up the Barbican’s immersive programming, says these experiences respond to our need for “playful” cultural spaces, accessible regardless of prior knowledge: “It allows the audience to feel part of something”. Robyn Landau at Kinda Studios, co-developer of Your Inner Symphony, points out the link to interoception — our awareness of our body’s inner senses. “When we have these transformative experiences individually that connect us to ourselves, they actually transform how we show up in the world and the way we connect to others,” she says. According to psychologist Sophie Janicke-Bowles, immersive experiences “can have an incredible recovery effect on our mind, where we can detach from our everyday concerns and cognitively, emotionally and even physiologically get absorbed into something different”. But for me, there is still a curious tension at play in immersive entertainment, and I am torn about where the rapidly developing scene is taking us. It does give us an opportunity to tune into ourselves, but I am less convinced it amplifies our bond with those around us. If we remain fixated by our own reflections, then we are missing the bigger picture. Immersive entertainment might make VIPs of us all, but culture should also bring us together. 31.

When overwhelmed by uncertainty, helplessness often takes over. Yet, as Thich Naht Hanh teaches, “The only way out is in.” ___36___ Positive psychology shows that trusting yourself depends on cultivating inner peace and recognizing your character strengths. Researchers studied 16,716 individuals from over 50 countries to understand traits linked to self-trust during uncertainty. They found that those with strong trust consistently reported greater inner peace. This group excelled in three emotional character strengths — gratitude, love, and hope. ___37___ Gratitude, the most studied of the three, is particularly powerful. It focuses on what has already happened, requiring no invention or manipulation. ___38___ Instead of recalling only average events, asking for “three things you were grateful for yesterday” directs the brain to retrieve positive experiences. Over time, this reshapes our perspective, helping us savor moments and feel better. Daily challenges — political, financial, or personal — are unavoidable, but they need not consume us. By practicing gratitude, we train our minds to notice what uplifts us. This shift in perception fosters self-trust, reminding us that peace and strength lie within. ___39___ Savor them. This simple practice opens the door to inner peace, proving that storms may rage, but stars still shine. With gratitude comes self-trust, and with self-trust comes a life of resilience and meaning. A. Practicing gratitude changes how our brain searches memories. B. This reminds us that even in difficult times, we can find guidance and hope. C. Inner strength allows us to shift our focus inward, finding calm amid chaos. D. Try it now: recall three experiences from the last 24 hours that made you grateful. E. They promote harmony and resilience, and importantly, they can be taught and developed. F. These strengths are valuable as they arise naturally in times of crisis and play a vital role in hardship. G. It mainly helps people forget negative experiences, allowing the brain to erase unpleasant memories over time. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答 Growing up, I was different. When I was four, I was officially diagnosed with autism (自闭症). Before that, I had ADHD and a peanut allergy. I was a late talker. I hated loud noises. Any changes in routine completely threw me off. As a schoolboy I felt like the least interesting person on Earth. No one seemed to understand me, and people were uncomfortable with me being different. I felt excluded by other students. Since I could not fit in, I chose silence — even though I had so much to say. Toward the end of my freshman year, something changed. After holding everything in for too long, the pressure built until I couldn’t take it. Like a bear that had been poked one too many times, my inner bear finally roared. I was done trying to please others or shrinking myself to fit in. I decided I wasn’t going to stay quiet anymore. I joined my high school’s media club, where for the first time I had friends and a sense of belonging. That was when I discovered the world of podcasting. During this early podcasting experience, I learnt about recording, editing and creating. Something else also changed — I felt a sense of self-worth, and my confidence grew. Later, I started my own podcast — Autism rocks and Rolls. At first, it was just a way to use my voice. But I quickly realized I was speaking up for others too. I’ve had listeners tell me they found themselves nodding along while listening. It means understanding. It means someone out there gets it, and that’s powerful. The podcast has now reached places I never expected. I’ve interviewed celebrities and leading experts, delivered a TEDx Talk and connected with thousands of listeners around the world. The most fulfilling part, though, is knowing that I’m opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard. Back then, I never imagined my voice would reach this far. Thinking no one was listening, for years, I held everything in. But once the bear found its voice, I didn’t go back into hiding. I kept speaking, and now I have a platform where others can roar too. There are more than 8 billion people on the planet. Someone will get you. It may not be who you expect and it may take time, but someone will. Keep going. Keep speaking. You will be heard. 40.
