The decades between 1880 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 were a complex, energetic period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation. The exhibition celebrates the achievements of three giants of the period: Paul Cezanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and follows the influences they had on younger generations of French artists and on wider circles of artists across Europe. With over a hundred works by artists ranging from Picasso to Mondrian and a selection of sculptures by artists including Rodin and Camille Claudel, the exhibition follows the creation of a new, modern art, free of convention, taking in Expressionism and Abstraction. The exhibition includes some of the most famous works of art created during these decades. Important loans come to the exhibition from institutions and private collections worldwide. Ticket prices Free for Members Priority booking open for Members. Join today to get early access to tickets, plus enjoy the exhibition in advance on 24 March. Standard admission On sale from 15 February From £ 24 Monday—Friday From £ 26 Saturday and Sunday A maximum of six tickets can be booked in the same deal. For larger group bookings please email.

She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and make-up services for the homeless. And Shirley is now the CNN Hero of the Year! In 1990, Raines’ 2-year-old son Demetrius passed away from accidental poisoning while at his grandma's house. This event caused a lot of pain for Shirley Raines. The pain lasted for many years. And she did not know what to do about it. She struggled to understand what her purpose was in life. Until one day six years ago, Shirley visited the skid row with a friend from church who asked her to volunteer. She met a lot of homeless people and realized how much help they needed, not just in finding a home, but in finding themselves and their own worth and beauty. Shirley started to volunteer every Saturday. As she got to know the homeless, they often praised her for her make-up, hair, and style. She started to offer to “make up” the homeless. They loved it, she loved it, they loved her and she loved them. She found purpose. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless, which took most of her spare time. Raines started sharing her efforts on Instagram with photos and even livestreaming (网络直播) some of her events. Things took off. She formed her nonprofit organization, Beauty 2 The Streetz, and her followers quickly began donating money or time to expand Shirley’s impact. Her Instagram followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly donate money to keep the services rolling. Others donate their time to help Shirley serve the homeless. Shirley’s boldness, caring, courage, consistency (连贯性), and desire to take action have led to making a real impact on people’s lives. And she also serves as a role model for and an inspiration to others. 4. How did Shirley change her sad feeling and live purposefully? A. By livestreaming her daily life. B. By giving a hand to the homeless. C. By taking good care of her family members. D. By interacting with her fans in her free time. 5. What is the most likely to make Shirley the CNN Hero of the Year? A. Her strong character. B. Her make-up services. C. Her creative idea. D. Her charitable acts. 6. Why are some beauty professionals mentioned in the fourth paragraph? A. To show their contributions to the organization. B. To introduce the regulation of Shirley's program. C. To explain the structure of the organization. D. To demonstrate the diversity of volunteers. 7. Which does the author probably suggest readers do? A. Think twice before we leap. B. Stay optimistic all the time. C. Pass on love. D. Never give up. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了雪莉·雷恩斯通过创立非营利组织Beauty 2 The Streetz，为洛杉矶贫民窟的无家可归者提供免费的食物、衣物、理发和化妆服务，最终成为CNN年度英雄的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段提到“Shirley Raines makes the homeless community in Los Angeles’s skid row (贫民窟) neighborhood feel human. She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and make-up services for the homeless.(雪莉·雷恩斯让洛杉矶贫民窟社区的无家可归者感受到了人性的温暖。她是Beauty 2 The Streetz的创始人，这是一个非营利组织，为无家可归者提供免费的食物、衣物、理发和化妆服务。)”和第三段“Shirley started to volunteer every Saturday. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless.(雪莉开始每周六去做志愿者。于是，她开了一家户外美容院为无家可归的人服务。)”可知，雪莉是通过帮助无家可归的人来改变她悲伤的情绪并有目的地生活的。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Shirley is now the CNN Hero of the Year!(雪莉现在是CNN年度英雄。)”以及“She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and make-up services for the homeless.（她是Beauty 2 The Streetz的创始人，这是一个为无家可归者提供免费食物、衣物、理发和化妆服务的非营利组织。）”可知，雪莉因为她的慈善行为成为了年度英雄。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Her Instagram followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly donate money to keep the services rolling.(她的Instagram粉丝增长到超过20万人，其中包括许多美容专业人士，如持证发型师、理发师、化妆师。他们中的许多人定期捐款，以保持服务继续。)”可知，这些美容专业人士捐赠时间和金钱支持她的组织，因此提到他们是为了展示他们对组织的贡献。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Shirley’s boldness, caring, courage, consistency (连贯性), and desire to take action have led to making a real impact on people’s lives. And she also serves as a role model for and an inspiration to others.(雪莉的大胆、关心、勇气、一致性和采取行动的愿望对人们的生活产生了真正的影响。她也成为了他人的榜样和灵感来源。)”可知，作者通过讲述雪莉的故事，鼓励读者像雪莉一样传递爱心，为他人带来帮助和温暖。故选C。 C Not long ago, you had to physically hand over cash to buy something. You witnessed it exit your wallet. You sensed it. But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift. The popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans has soared. They promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can trick our minds. When payment is divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally tired. Although the £15 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can fall into lasting debt. Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes and even our sleep. Researches have shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety. That’s why we need to talk about money more often — not just how to make it, but how we feel about it — in families, schools, workplaces, and therapy rooms. Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with confidence. Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. Financial stress can make you feel helpless. But by addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits, we can move from crisis to confidence. We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological. 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Klarna and Clearpay help people save money. B. Digital payments are now relatively preferred. C. Invisible payments have improved mental health. D. Installments ease the emotional spending burden. 9. What may BNPL result in? A. Improved financial knowledge. B. Easy access to digital credit. C. Overspending and long-term debt. D. Decrease of small-amount expenses. 10. How can we build healthier financial habits? A. Value financial education. B. Hide feelings of shame. C. Mask people’s financial stress. D. Highlight debt-related problems. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cash Shopping: The Healthy Way of Consumption B. Money’s Emotional Cost: Beyond Invisible Payments C. BNPL: A New Approach to Boost Consumer Spending D. Financial Education: The Core to Cutting Expenses 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出分期付款减少消费痛苦，但可能引发超支和债务，强调金钱对心理健康的影响，并呼吁加强金融教育和债务相关讨论，以建立更健康的财务习惯。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. (但有了Klarna或Clearpay支付服务，你现在可以分三期付款购买新手机，几乎察觉不到差别。这不仅仅是一种购物习惯；这反映了我们今天与金钱的关系。我们正逐渐摆脱消费带来的情感负担)”可知，作者指出，分期付款减少了人们消费时的心理负担。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can fall into lasting debt. (心理学家发现，当支付行为与购买行为分开时，我们经历的“支付之痛”就会减少，这使我们更有可能超支。在数字信贷容易获得但金融教育有限的社会，这种行为可能会陷入长期债务)”可知，“先买后付”可能导致超支和长期债务。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. (金融教育应该在学校中被视为必不可少的。此外，我们应该使债务相关的对话正常化，以减轻人们的羞耻感)”可知，作者建议加强金融教育，而非掩盖羞耻感、掩饰财务压力，或强调债务问题。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift. (我们正逐渐摆脱消费带来的情感负担。此外，我们的心理健康正受到这种悄然转变的深刻影响)”和最后一段“We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost, we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological. (我们生活在一个看不见金钱的世界。但它带来的情感负担是非常真实的。如果我们开始注意到这种成本，我们可能最终不仅把钱当作一种资源，而且把它当作一种深刻的心理东西)”可知，文章围绕“金钱的情感成本”展开，指出分期付款减少消费痛苦，但可能引发超支和债务，强调金钱对心理健康的影响，并呼吁加强金融教育和债务相关讨论，以建立更健康的财务习惯。因此，B项“金钱的情感成本：超越无形支付”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D Yet loneliness has become so widespread that it is often termed a modern epidemic. Why? A common explanation is the loss of “social connection.” What does it really mean to be socially connected? Is it quantified by the number of one’s friends both online and offline, or is it defined by the quality and depth of these relationships? However, some experts argue that loneliness transcends mere social isolation. It is possible to maintain hundreds of digital connections yet still endure profound feelings of loneliness. Norwegian writer Hilde Østby, in her book So Lonely, suggests that loneliness emerges when there’s a gap between the social connections we desire and those we actually possess. Individuals in densely populated urban areas frequently report higher levels of loneliness than those in rural communities. While strong social ties can reduce loneliness, close-knit societies report high loneliness rates. Østby further investigates the psychological and physical effects of loneliness. It is linked to emotions like grief and shame, and it can even harm one’s health. She believes that loneliness is sometimes caused by social division — marginalization (边缘化) due to racism, sexism, or other forms of prejudice. She coins the word “lonelify” to describe this process — how people are deliberately made to feel excluded. However, loneliness is not only caused by social exclusion. It can affect anyone, regardless of age or background. Although technology and contemporary lifestyles may contribute to the problem, at its core, loneliness remains a profoundly human experience. Østby’s book encourages us to rethink loneliness — not just as a personal issue, but as a social one. She calls for more inclusive communities and reminds us that small acts of kindness, like a smile or a conversation, can help others feel less alone. After all, in a world where so many feel lonely, connection might be the cure we all need. 12. What does the underlined word “transcends” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. results from. B. goes beyond. C. depends on. D. equals. 13. What factor does Hilde Østby believe leads to loneliness? A. Numerous online friends only. B. Urban living environments. C. A gap in social connections. D. Long-term social isolation. 14. What can we infer from the author’s discussion of Østby’s views? A. Needs individual and societal efforts. B. Technology is the root cause. C. Mainly affects marginalized groups. D. Small kindnesses are most effective. 15. What is the passage’s main purpose? A. Explain loneliness’s causes and solutions. B. Analyze social connections and loneliness. C. Argue loneliness is a societal issue. D. Introduce a book and its insights. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍Hilde Østby著作及对孤独的成因、影响与应对的观点。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“However, some experts argue that loneliness transcends mere social isolation. It is possible to maintain hundreds of digital connections yet still endure profound feelings of loneliness.(然而，一些专家认为，孤独transcends单纯的社会孤立。即使维持着数百个数字社交联系，人们仍可能承受深刻的孤独感。)”可知，即便有数百个线上社交联系，人们仍可能深感孤独，这说明孤独并非仅源于社交孤立，而是超出了社交孤立的范畴。“transcends”在此处意为“超出、超越”，与“goes beyond”含义相近。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Norwegian writer Hilde Østby, in her book So Lonely, suggests that loneliness emerges when there’s a gap between the social connections we desire and those we actually possess.(挪威作家Hilde Østby在她的《如此孤独》一书中指出，当我们期望的社交联系与实际拥有的社交联系之间存在差距时，孤独就会产生。)”可知，Hilde Østby认为导致孤独的因素是社交联系上的差距。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Østby’s book encourages us to rethink loneliness — not just as a personal issue, but as a social one. She calls for more inclusive communities and reminds us that small acts of kindness, like a smile or a conversation, can help others feel less alone.(Østby在书中鼓励我们重新审视孤独——它不只是个人问题，更是一个社会问题。她呼吁建立更具包容性的社群，同时提醒我们，一个微笑、一次交谈这类小小的善举，都能帮助他人减轻孤独感。)”可知，Østby认为孤独既是个人问题也是社会问题，既需要个人用善意行动帮助他人，也需要社会构建更包容的群体。由此可推断，解决孤独问题需要个人和社会共同努力。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是最后一段中“Østby’s book encourages us to rethink loneliness — not just as a personal issue, but as a social one. She calls for more inclusive communities and reminds us that small acts of kindness, like a smile or a conversation, can help others feel less alone.(Østby在书中鼓励我们重新审视孤独——它不只是个人问题，更是一个社会问题。她呼吁建立更具包容性的社群，同时提醒我们，一个微笑、一次交谈这类小小的善举，都能帮助他人减轻孤独感。)”可知，文章围绕挪威作家Hilde Østby的著作《如此孤独》展开，介绍了书中关于孤独感的成因（社交联系差距、社会排斥等）、影响（心理和身体健康）以及应对方式（个人善意、社会包容）的观点。由此推断，文章的主要目的是介绍一本书及其见解。故选D。 第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When it comes to health tips, all too often we tend to merely search for good habits that stick. ____16____. Making small changes can bring big improvements in your health and wellbeing. Here are some useful tips on how to kick bad habits. ◆ Being over-ambitious about exercise We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to keep active. ____17____? Sometimes it’s enough just to make time for a ten-minute power walk. Scientists at the universities of Cambridge and Leicester recently showed that short, intense bursts of activity are more beneficial to the heart than leisurely exercise lasting more than twice as long. ◆ Scrolling while eating Being on your phone when you eat means you’re not paying attention to your food or allowing yourself a break from that non-stop cyber chatter. Sit down to have your meal. ____18____, focusing on enjoying what you’re eating. ◆ ____19____ Socializing helps you feel better about life. It might even sharpen your memory and help you live longer, according to some research. So make a few dates with friends and family instead of being alone all the while. ◆ Being hard on yourself ____20____, it’s time to be kind to yourself. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. When feeling exhausted, stop and take microbreaks—stick your head out of the window, have a coffee, read an article. You’ll resume what you’re doing feeling refreshed. Make an active effort to stay positive and congratulate yourself every day on one good thing you’ve achieved, however small. A. Being sociable B. Avoiding people C. Put your mobile out of reach and eat mindfully D. But do you need to go to the gym five days a week E. Once you have managed to achieve a long-term goal F. If you’re struggling to meet exercise goals, or to get everything done G. However, breaking bad health habits is as important as developing good ones 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何戒掉一些坏习惯给出了建议。 【16题详解】 空格前的句子“When it comes to health tips, all too often we tend to merely search for good habits that stick.(说到健康秘诀，我们往往倾向于寻找坚持下来的好习惯)”指出我们往往倾向于寻找坚持下来的好习惯，而空格后的句子“Making small changes can bring big improvements in your health and wellbeing.（一些小的改变可以给你的健康和幸福带来巨大的改善)”指出做出改变的好处，所以空格处的句子肯定提到戒掉坏习惯的好处，这样前后才能衔接起来。G项“However, breaking bad health habits is as important as developing good ones(然而，改掉坏的健康习惯和养成好习惯一样重要)”可以衔接上下文，符合题意。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据该部分提到的坏习惯“Being over-ambitious about exercise(对锻炼过于雄心勃勃)”和空格后的问号可知，空格处的句子应该是一个问句，且和“对锻炼过于雄心勃勃”这一习惯有关。D项“But do you need to go to the gym five days a week(但是你需要一周五天去健身房吗 )”在形式上和内容上都符合题意。故选D项。 【18题详解】 空格前的句子“Being on your phone when you eat means you’re not paying attention to your food or allowing yourself a break from that non-stop cyber chatter.(吃饭时玩手机意味着你没有注意到你的食物，也没有让自己从不停的网络聊天中休息一下)”指出吃饭时玩手机的弊端，而空格后的部分“focusing on enjoying what you’re eating(专注于享受你所吃的东西)”是让你专注于享受你所吃的东西，所以空格处的句子肯定是建议放下手机。C项“Put your mobile out of reach and eat mindfully(把手机放在够不着的地方，用心吃东西)”符合题意。故选C项。 【19题详解】 从空格所处的位置可知，空格处的句子应该是列举的坏习惯之一，而下文的内容“Socializing helps you feel better about life. It might even sharpen your memory and help you live longer, according to some research. So make a few dates with friends and family instead of being alone all the while.(社交让你对生活感觉更好。根据一些研究，它甚至可能提高你的记忆力，帮助你活得更久。所以，多和朋友和家人约会，而不是一直一个人呆着)”指出参加社交的好处，所以空格处的句子一定和不愿参加社交有关。B项“Avoiding people(不愿见人)”符合题意。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据空格后的逗号和句子可知，空格处只能填入一个非谓语形式或从句；根据该部分的主题“Being hard on yourself(对自己苛刻)”和空格后的主句“it’s time to be kind to yourself(是时候善待自己了)”可知，只有F项“If you’re struggling to meet exercise goals, or to get everything done(如果你正在努力达到锻炼目标，或者完成所有事情)”在内容上和形式上符合题意。故选F项。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Camping is a rite of passage (成人仪式) if you grow up in Canada.

Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White. That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school. Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground. Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced! 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. Every time he jumped, he would stumble a little, but he never stopped. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and adjusted his posture, then tried again. Mary thought about how Tom was willing to take on something he wasn’t good at just to help his class. She felt a little ashamed of herself—she was scared of showing her bad handwriting, but what if she could try her best like Tom? Maybe the bulletin board wouldn’t be perfect, but she could put her heart into it. The nervous feeling in her stomach slowly faded, and a new sense of determination took its place. She turned around and headed straight for the teachers’ office, her steps no longer hesitant.​ With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. Ms. White was sitting at her desk, grading papers. When she saw Mary, she looked up and smiled, “Have you made your decision?” Mary took a deep breath and nodded firmly, “Yes, Ms. White. I’d like to take charge of the class bulletin board.” She then added, “My handwriting isn’t good, but I’ll practice and do my best to make it nice. I want to help our class, just like Tom is helping his.” Ms. White’s eyes lit up with pride. She stood up and patted Mary’s shoulder, “That’s what I wanted to hear, Mary. Bravery to try is more important than being perfect. I’ll be right here to help you.” Mary left the office with a big smile on her face, already looking forward to starting her new task. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述放学后，擅长跳绳的玛丽本打算拒绝怀特老师让她接手班级板报的请求，因她担心自己字迹差。途中，她看到不擅长跳远的汤姆为给班级争分，正主动练习跳远，汤姆认为重要的是尝试和为班级出力。这让玛丽面临与汤姆相似的是否承担任务的问题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“玛丽站那里，看着汤姆耐心又努力地练习。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：玛丽见汤姆虽不擅长跳远仍努力练习，羞愧自身胆怯，决心接办板报，走向教师办公室。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛丽满怀决心地走进教师办公室。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：玛丽决心走进教师办公室，答应负责板报并说明会努力，获怀特老师的肯定与支持，满心期待新任务。 2.续写线索：见汤姆努力练习——自我感到羞愧——决心接办板报—— 答应负责板报——获老师肯定与支持——满怀期待 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试：try/attempt ②.帮助：help/assist/aid ③.擅长：be good at/do well in 情绪类 ①.害怕的：scared/afraid/frightened ②.焦虑的： nervous/anxious/uneasy 【点睛】[高分句型1].

She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and make-up services for the homeless. And Shirley is now the CNN Hero of the Year! In 1990, Raines’ 2-year-old son Demetrius passed away from accidental poisoning while at his grandma's house. This event caused a lot of pain for Shirley Raines. The pain lasted for many years. And she did not know what to do about it. She struggled to understand what her purpose was in life. Until one day six years ago, Shirley visited the skid row with a friend from church who asked her to volunteer. She met a lot of homeless people and realized how much help they needed, not just in finding a home, but in finding themselves and their own worth and beauty. Shirley started to volunteer every Saturday. As she got to know the homeless, they often praised her for her make-up, hair, and style. She started to offer to “make up” the homeless. They loved it, she loved it, they loved her and she loved them. She found purpose. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless, which took most of her spare time. Raines started sharing her efforts on Instagram with photos and even livestreaming (网络直播) some of her events. Things took off. She formed her nonprofit organization, Beauty 2 The Streetz, and her followers quickly began donating money or time to expand Shirley’s impact. Her Instagram followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly donate money to keep the services rolling. Others donate their time to help Shirley serve the homeless. Shirley’s boldness, caring, courage, consistency (连贯性), and desire to take action have led to making a real impact on people’s lives. And she also serves as a role model for and an inspiration to others. 4. How did Shirley change her sad feeling and live purposefully? A. By livestreaming her daily life. B. By giving a hand to the homeless. C. By taking good care of her family members. D. By interacting with her fans in her free time. 5. What is the most likely to make Shirley the CNN Hero of the Year? A. Her strong character. B. Her make-up services. C. Her creative idea. D. Her charitable acts. 6. Why are some beauty professionals mentioned in the fourth paragraph? A. To show their contributions to the organization. B. To introduce the regulation of Shirley's program. C. To explain the structure of the organization. D. To demonstrate the diversity of volunteers. 7. Which does the author probably suggest readers do? A. Think twice before we leap. B. Stay optimistic all the time. C. Pass on love. D. Never give up. C Not long ago, you had to physically hand over cash to buy something. You witnessed it exit your wallet. You sensed it. But with payment services Klarna or Clearpay, you can now pay for a new phone in three installments (分期付款) and barely notice the difference. This isn’t just a shopping habit; it’s a reflection of how we relate to money today. We are becoming increasingly free of the emotional burden of spending. Additionally, our mental health is being profoundly affected by this quiet shift. The popularity of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) plans has soared. They promise freedom and flexibility, but the ease of use can trick our minds. When payment is divided into smaller payments, we are wired to feel less emotionally tired. Although the £15 payments seem insignificant, they quickly add up. Psychologists found that when the act of paying is separated from the act of purchasing, we experience less “pain of paying”, which makes us more likely to overspend. In societies where digital credit is easily accessible but financial education is limited, this behaviour can fall into lasting debt. Stress over money doesn’t stay in the bank. It follows us into our homes and even our sleep. Researches have shown that personal debt is strongly associated with depression and anxiety. That’s why we need to talk about money more often — not just how to make it, but how we feel about it — in families, schools, workplaces, and therapy rooms. Therapists should be able to ask about financial stress with confidence. Financial education ought to be treated as essential in schools. Additionally, we should normalize debt-related conversations to relieve people’s feelings of shame. Financial stress can make you feel helpless. But by addressing the emotional side of money and building healthier habits, we can move from crisis to confidence. We live in a world where money is invisible. But the emotional burden it takes is very real. If we start noticing that cost we might finally treat money not only as a resource, but as something deeply psychological. 8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Klarna and Clearpay help people save money. B. Digital payments are now relatively preferred. C.

Financial Education: The Core to Cutting Expenses D Yet loneliness has become so widespread that it is often termed a modern epidemic. Why? A common explanation is the loss of “social connection.” What does it really mean to be socially connected? Is it quantified by the number of one’s friends both online and offline, or is it defined by the quality and depth of these relationships? However, some experts argue that loneliness transcends mere social isolation. It is possible to maintain hundreds of digital connections yet still endure profound feelings of loneliness. Norwegian writer Hilde Østby, in her book So Lonely, suggests that loneliness emerges when there’s a gap between the social connections we desire and those we actually possess. Individuals in densely populated urban areas frequently report higher levels of loneliness than those in rural communities. While strong social ties can reduce loneliness, close-knit societies report high loneliness rates. Østby further investigates the psychological and physical effects of loneliness. It is linked to emotions like grief and shame, and it can even harm one’s health. She believes that loneliness is sometimes caused by social division — marginalization (边缘化) due to racism, sexism, or other forms of prejudice. She coins the word “lonelify” to describe this process — how people are deliberately made to feel excluded. However, loneliness is not only caused by social exclusion. It can affect anyone, regardless of age or background. Although technology and contemporary lifestyles may contribute to the problem, at its core, loneliness remains a profoundly human experience. Østby’s book encourages us to rethink loneliness — not just as a personal issue, but as a social one. She calls for more inclusive communities and reminds us that small acts of kindness, like a smile or a conversation, can help others feel less alone. After all, in a world where so many feel lonely, connection might be the cure we all need. 12. What does the underlined word “transcends” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. results from. B. goes beyond. C. depends on. D. equals. 13. What factor does Hilde Østby believe leads to loneliness? A. Numerous online friends only. B. Urban living environments. C. A gap in social connections. D. Long-term social isolation. 14. What can we infer from the author’s discussion of Østby’s views? A. Needs individual and societal efforts. B. Technology is the root cause. C. Mainly affects marginalized groups. D. Small kindnesses are most effective. 15. What is the passage’s main purpose? A. Explain loneliness’s causes and solutions. B. Analyze social connections and loneliness. C. Argue loneliness is a societal issue. D. Introduce a book and its insights. 第二节 (共5 小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When it comes to health tips, all too often we tend to merely search for good habits that stick. ____16____.

Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White. That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school. Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground. Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced! 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
