Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, and founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
4. What do the underlined words“a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A genius. B. A common student.
C. A bachelor’s degree. D. A young businessman.
5. What do we know about the child in the show Young Sheldon?
A. He has the same characteristics with Mike. B. He is a well-rounded boy.
C. He is a popular child at school. D. He has trouble in socializing,
6. How did Mike’s parents get to know about their son’s remarkable talent?
A. From school teachers’comments. B. Through their son’s behavior.
C. From a child psychologist’s advice. D. By letting him study with 18-year-olds.
7. What did Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills?
A. They let him run two tech companies.
B. They encouraged him to join in some clubs.
C. They taught him some rules about interaction.
D. They placed him in social situations at early ages.

In a new study published in the British Journal of Health Psychology, researchers from the Universities of Bath and Southampton have revealed how just 10 minutes of daily mindfulness (正念) practice can improve wellbeing, ease depression and anxiety and help people to be more motivated to improve their lifestyle — including healthier exercise, eating and sleeping habits.
The research recruited 1,247 adults from 91 countries and utilized a free mobile app called Medito to deliver brief daily mindfulness sessions. Participants were randomly allocated to either a month-long mindfulness routine or a control group that listened to excerpts (节选) from “Alice in Wonderland”. The mindfulness sessions included relaxation exercises, intention-setting, body scans, breath-focused attention and self-reflection. Surveys conducted before and after the 30-day training period revealed substantial improvements in the mindfulness group:
Reduced Depression by 19.2% more than control group;
Improved Wellbeing by 6.9% more;
Decreased Anxiety by 12.6% more;
Attitudes to Health got more positive by 7.1% over control group;
Behavioural Intentions to look after health increased by 6.5% beyond control group.
These benefits were largely maintained after 30 days. In follow-up surveys one month later(Day 61), the mindfulness group showed long-term improvements in their wellbeing, notably a reduction in depression, more positive attitudes and even better sleep.
This research is among the first to link mindfulness practice to broader lifestyle changes, underscoring its potential for promoting healthier living habits like exercising regularly. Masha Remskar, the lead researcher and an expert in behavior change, emphasized that even short daily mindfulness practice can be a powerful tool for mental health improvement. Dr. Max Western from the University of Bath stressed the potential global impact of a light-touch, affordable mindfulness intervention (介入) on healthy lifestyle behaviors, noting its benefits still lasted after the course ended, indicating that it can help build sustainable habits.
The study was supported by the UKRI Economic and Social Research Council and collaborated with the Medito Foundation, a non-profit promoting mindfulness globally through a free app alternative to subscription based services. Medito paved the way for the “30 Day Challenge”, but had no part in data collection, analysis or publication.
8. What can be inferred about daily mindfulness?
A. It can cure depression and anxiety. B. It may lead to sustainable benefits.
C. Its benefits are limited to stress reduction. D. It is especially effective for severe depression.
9. What does the underlined word “underscoring” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Highlighting. B. Ignoring. C. Doubting. D. Transforming.
10. What does the Medito Foundation do in the study?
A. Fund the research and collect data. B. Analyse the data and release results.
C. Make profits and monitor the process. D. Facilitate the study and spread mindfulness.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Medito App: Promoting Mindfulness Practice
B. Brief Daily Mindfulness: Big Benefits for Wellbeing
C. Mindfulness vs. Control Group: A Comparative Study
D. Recent Research in Health Psychology: Mindfulness Edition

Who are your best friends on campus? Are they the ones you encountered most often in class? Are they your fellows in drama club or debate society? Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently.
A number of studies have demonstrated the effects of proximity on who become friends. One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s. The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another beforehand.
The investigators asked each resident to name the three people in the student housing project with whom they socialized most often. The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the respondent, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents. More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building. Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small — 19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and 89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway — 41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway.
Proximity leads to friendship because it facilitates chance encounters. If so, then pure physical distance should matter less than functional distance — the influence of an architectural layout to encourage or discourage contact between people. The MIT study shows just how important functional distance is. As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the occupants of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the occupants of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the two stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments.
Figure of the MIT Study
Thus it’s functional distance more than physical distance that is decisive. Proximity promotes friendship because it brings people together. Actually, in later studies involving more diverse populations, the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races, ages, or social classes.
12. What can be concluded from the MIT study?
A. Friends play an important role in one’s daily life.
B. Frequency of encounters decides the living distance.
C. People with shared interests are more likely to befriends.
D. The more often two people meet, the closer their relationship is.
13. What method did the MIT researchers employ in their study?
A. Case study. B. Recording analysis.
C. In-lab observation. D. Online questionnaire.
14. Which apartment’s residents in the Figure above may make most friends in the building?
A. Apartment 1. B. Apartment 2.
C. Apartment 6. D. Apartment 7.
15. Why did researchers carry out later studies?
A. Previous study results are contradictory.
B. Previous study methods lack scientific support.
C. The sample in the previous study is not representative.
D. The data in the previous study are not up-to-date enough.

47. 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。
One year ago, when we were in the fifth grade, a new classmate named Jack joined us. He was often late for class and had a strange smell on him, which made the girls not want to be “neighbours” with him, let alone sit next to him. It is said that once, a naughty boy curiously opened his backpack and many crushed soda cans and empty drink bottles that we usually throw into the trash fell out. Therefore, the boys in our class mocked (嘲笑) him as the “trash king”.
Later, during a class meeting, our teacher, Ms. Zhang, told us about his story of using garbage to make inventions. It turns out that Jack is not an ordinary elementary school student, but a “garbage-inspired inventor” who has won the city invention award. According to Ms. Zhang, most of his inventions were picked up from garbage dumps (堆). During that class meeting, Jack showed us his invention of a“domestic wastewater separation system”.
Afterwards, some of us became deeply interested in these small inventions and started to admire Jack’s way of “picking up trash”. We even joined him in picking up trash on weekends and during holidays. From then on, we no longer called him the “trash king“. Instead, we formed a group of five boys and actively searched for usable materials in various garbage dumps around the city. Under Jack’s guidance, we learned that there are many uses for seemingly useless trash. Once, we stayed at school to process the collected materials. Jack mentioned that he was facing a problem with his latest invention—a small cart for buying vegetables that needed to be lightweight. All other materials were solved except for the wheels. How could we find a suitable material for the wheels? We racked our brains (绞尽脑汁) and came up with different ideas, such as using soda cans or taking off the wheels from suitcases. However, Jack reminded us that our group should focus on making inventions from waste rather than causing damage to create them. We were all deep in thought.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I got home and drank a bottle of water, I suddenly had an idea.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jack indeed adopted my suggestion and fixed a row of bottle caps as wheels on his vegetable cart.

Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years.

But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了天才少年Mike的成长经历及其父母如何培养其社交能力。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, and founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive species. (他是门萨俱乐部的成员。他在三年内完成了高中、副学士以及学士学位的学习。不仅如此,他还经营了两家科技公司,并创立了第三家公司,致力于控制入侵物种狮子鱼的数量)”可知,虽然Mike的年龄很小,但是他提前完成学业,经营自己公司,所以“a prodigy”指的是天才。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa. (《小谢尔顿》是一部关于一个宅男型的天才儿童的电视剧,这个孩子缺乏社交技能。“但是一旦人们与迈克交谈,他们就会明白他其实只是一个普通的14岁少年,只不过恰好能够做一些令人惊叹的事情而已,”梅丽莎说道)”可知,电视节目《小谢尔顿》中的主角是一个宅男并且缺乏社交技巧,所以他在社交方面有困难。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. (马克和梅丽莎是在儿子进入幼儿园时了解到他的智力水平的。一位儿童心理学家告诉他们,他们的儿子需要一个特别的课程来支持他的加速发展)”可知,Mike的父母是从儿童心理学家的建议中了解到儿子非凡才能的。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa. (“当他三四岁的时候,我们就让他向服务员点餐,并向他人介绍自己。做这些事情是为了鼓励他与其他人互动,并且在他熟悉的环境之外也能更自在地与人交谈,”梅丽莎说道)”可知,Mike在三四岁的时候就向服务员点餐,并向他人介绍自己。所以Mike的父母通过让他在很小的时候就参与到社交情境中来提高他的社交技能。故选D。
C

In follow-up surveys one month later(Day 61), the mindfulness group showed long-term improvements in their wellbeing, notably a reduction in depression, more positive attitudes and even better sleep.(这些好处在30天后基本保持不变。在一个月后(第61天)的后续调查中,正念组显示出他们的健康状况有了长期的改善,尤其是抑郁的减少,更积极的态度,甚至更好的睡眠)”可知,日常正念可能会带来可持续的好处。故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“its potential for promoting healthier living habits like exercising regularly(它在促进更健康的生活习惯(如定期锻炼)方面的潜力)”以及“Masha Remskar, the lead researcher and an expert in behavior change, emphasized that even short daily mindfulness practice can be a powerful tool for mental health improvement.(首席研究员、行为改变方面的专家Masha Remskar强调,即使是每天短暂的正念练习,也可以成为改善心理健康的有力工具)”可知,研究强调了正念练习在促进锻炼等更健康生活习惯方面的潜力。故划线词意思是“强调”。故选A。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a new study published in the British Journal of Health Psychology, researchers from the Universities of Bath and Southampton have revealed how just 10 minutes of daily mindfulness (正念) practice can improve wellbeing, ease depression and anxiety and help people to be more motivated to improve their lifestyle — including healthier exercise, eating and sleeping habits.(在《英国健康心理学杂志》上发表的一项新研究中,来自巴斯大学和南安普顿大学的研究人员揭示了每天10分钟的正念练习如何改善健康,缓解抑郁和焦虑,并帮助人们更有动力改善他们的生活方式——包括更健康的锻炼、饮食和睡眠习惯)”结合文章主要介绍了研究发现正念练习有助于改善健康,解释了研究的过程以及发现可知,B选项“每日简短的正念:对健康大有裨益”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
Who are your best friends on campus? Are they the ones you encountered most often in class? Are they your fellows in drama club or debate society? Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently.
A number of studies have demonstrated the effects of proximity on who become friends. One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s. The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another beforehand.
The investigators asked each resident to name the three people in the student housing project with whom they socialized most often. The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the respondent, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents. More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building. Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small — 19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and 89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway — 41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway.
Proximity leads to friendship because it facilitates chance encounters. If so, then pure physical distance should matter less than functional distance — the influence of an architectural layout to encourage or discourage contact between people. The MIT study shows just how important functional distance is. As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the occupants of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the occupants of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the two stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments.
Figure of the MIT Study
Thus, it’s functional distance more than physical distance that is decisive. Proximity promotes friendship because it brings people together. Actually, in later studies involving more diverse populations, the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races, ages, or social classes.
12. What can be concluded from the MIT study?
A. Friends play an important role in one’s daily life.
B. Frequency of encounters decides the living distance.
C. People with shared interests are more likely to befriends.
D. The more often two people meet, the closer their relationship is.
13. What method did the MIT researchers employ in their study?
A. Case study. B. Recording analysis.
C. In-lab observation. D. Online questionnaire.
14. Which apartment’s residents in the Figure above may make most friends in the building?
A. Apartment 1. B. Apartment 2.
C. Apartment 6. D. Apartment 7.
15. Why did researchers carry out later studies?
A. Previous study results are contradictory.
B. Previous study methods lack scientific support.
C. The sample in the previous study is not representative.
D. The data in the previous study are not up-to-date enough.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章详细介绍了麻省理工学院在1940年代进行的一项关于物理距离如何影响人际关系形成的研究,特别是对友谊发展的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently. (影响人们是否成为朋友的因素很简单,那就是身体距离。事实上,最持久的友谊是在道路经常交叉的人们之间建立起来的。)”可知,两个人见面的次数越多,他们的关系就越亲密。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段中“One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s. The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another beforehand. (其中一项是20世纪40年代在麻省理工学院进行的。新入学的学生被随机分配到17栋10单元的公寓楼里,这些公寓楼与其他居民区隔离开来,他们中很少有人事先认识彼此。)”和第三段中“The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the respondent, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents. More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building. Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small —19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and 89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway — 41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway. (距离的影响是惊人的:被列为朋友的人中有三分之二与被调查者住在同一栋楼里,尽管住在同一栋楼里的人只占目标居民的5%。更引人注目的是每栋楼里的友谊模式。尽管公寓之间的物理距离很小——相邻公寓的门道之间只有19英尺,走廊两端的门道之间只有89英尺——但住在相邻公寓的人中有41%的人把彼此列为朋友,而住在走廊两端的人中只有10%的人这样做。)”可知,麻省理工学院的研究人员通过对这些学生的案例研究进行的。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中“As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the occupants of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the occupants of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the two stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments. (如下图所示,楼梯的位置使得楼上的住户在楼梯拐弯处遇到公寓住户的次数要比中间公寓的住户多得多。事实上,住在两层楼上公寓的人与楼上邻居的友谊是住在中间公寓的人的两倍。)”可以推断出,住在1号公寓的居民可能在公寓里交到最多的朋友,因为他们在楼梯转弯处更容易遇到其他公寓的居民。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Actually, in later studies involving more diverse populations, the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races, ages, or social classes. (事实上,在后来涉及更多不同人群的研究中,发现距离对友谊形成的最大影响发生在不同种族、年龄或社会阶层的人之间。)”可知,之前的研究样本可能不具有代表性,因此需要进行更深入的研究。故选C。

One year ago when we were in the fifth grade, a new classmate named Jack joined us. He was often late for class and had a strange smell on him, which made the girls not want to be “neighbours” with him, let alone sit next to him. It is said that once, a naughty boy curiously opened his backpack and many crushed soda cans and empty drink bottles that we usually throw into the trash fell out. Therefore, the boys in our class mocked (嘲笑) him as the “trash king”.
Later, during a class meeting, our teacher, Ms. Zhang, told us about his story of using garbage to make inventions. It turns out that Jack is not an ordinary elementary school student, but a “garbage-inspired inventor” who has won the city invention award. According to Ms. Zhang, most of his inventions were picked up from garbage dumps (堆). During that class meeting, Jack showed us his invention of a“domestic wastewater separation system”.
Afterwards, some of us became deeply interested in these small inventions and started to admire Jack’s way of “picking up trash”. We even joined him in picking up trash on weekends and during holidays. From then on, we no longer called him the “trash king“. Instead, we formed a group of five boys and actively searched for usable materials in various garbage dumps around the city. Under Jack’s guidance, we learned that there are many uses for seemingly useless trash. Once, we stayed at school to process the collected materials. Jack mentioned that he was facing a problem with his latest invention—a small cart for buying vegetables that needed to be lightweight. All other materials were solved except for the wheels. How could we find a suitable material for the wheels? We racked our brains (绞尽脑汁) and came up with different ideas, such as using soda cans or taking off the wheels from suitcases. However, Jack reminded us that our group should focus on making inventions from waste rather than causing damage to create them. We were all deep in thought.

【答案】 When I got home and drank a bottle of water, I suddenly had an idea. What if we could use bottle caps as wheels for Jack’s vegetable cart? It seemed like a simple solution, but it could work if we found enough bottle caps. Excited, I shared my idea with the group the next day. Jack’s eyes lit up with enthusiasm as he realized the potential of this suggestion. We immediately set out to collect as many bottle caps as we could find, scouring not only the garbage dumps but also asking friends and family to save them for us.
Jack indeed adopted my suggestion and fixed a row of bottle caps as wheels on his vegetable cart. It was a moment of triumph for all of us, seeing our collective efforts and creativity come to fruition. The cart rolled smoothly, and we celebrated our success with high-fives and laughter. This experience taught us the power of collaboration, innovation, and looking beyond the surface of things. Inspired by Jack’s ingenuity, our group continued to explore ways to repurpose waste, knowing that small actions could lead to big changes in our community and beyond.
