For a week, it had been Mark’s constant companion during his breakfast. He’d learned to tune it out, just like the pile of schoolbooks on the desk. One evening, his father came home from work, set his bag down, and headed straight for the kitchen sink. He didn’t sigh heavily or complain about the water bill. Instead, he laid out a small toolkit, a shiny new washer, and a bucket on the floor. “Assistant needed,” he announced, looking directly at Mark. Mark rolled his eyes quietly. Homework was waiting. But he dragged a chair over and watched. His father didn’t just quickly fix it. He showed Mark how to turn off the water valves (阀) under the sink, explaining why it was the first and most important step. “Always know where your ‘off switch’ is, son. For anything,” he said, his voice calm. Then, he carefully took apart the faucet (水龙头) handle, letting Mark see the rusty, worn-out washer inside. “See this? A small thing, broken. But it’s the source of all that noise and waste. Fix the small thing, and you solve the big annoyance.” He let Mark place the new, flexible washer into the groove (凹槽). Together, they settled everything. When his father turned the water back on, Mark held his breath. He turned the handle.The drip was gone. The kitchen was peacefully, wonderfully silent. His father wiped his hands on a rag. “Some problems aren’t meant to be ignored, Mark. They’re little invitations to learn something new.” Mark looked at the tidy toolbox and the silent sink. He realized his father hadn’t just fixed a leaky faucet. He had shown him that being a man wasn’t about being loud or strong, but about having the quiet competence to face a problem, understand its parts, and make it right. It was a lesson no textbook could ever teach. 4. What was Mark’s response when his father asked for an assistant? A. He unwillingly helped his father. B. He refused to help for heavy schoolwork. C. He complained about the leaky faucet first. D He immediately started doing his homework. 5. What can we infer from the father’s words “Some problems aren’t meant to be ignored”? A. Mark had a habit of ignoring his homework. B. The water bill would become a great problem. C. He intended to teach Mark to face problems actively. D. He was criticizing Mark for not fixing the faucet earlier. 6. Which words best describe the father? A. Strict and demanding. B. Patient and wise. C. Calm and creative. D. Dynamic and funny. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Sound of Silence B. My Father, My Teacher C. A Lesson in the Drip D. Leaky Faucet, Active Life 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是厨房水龙头滴水声持续一周，马克习以为常，父亲耐心地教马克问题不应被忽视，而是学习新知识的契机。马克意识到，父亲不仅修好了水龙头，更让他明白真正的男子气概在于冷静解决问题的能力，这是课本无法传授的。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Mark rolled his eyes quietly. Homework was waiting.(马克静静地转了转眼珠。家庭作业还在等着。)”可知，当马克的父亲要求一个助手时，他不情愿地帮助他的父亲。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“They’re little invitations to learn something new.(它们是学习新东西的小邀请。)”和最后一段“He had shown him that being a man wasn’t about being loud or strong, but about having the quiet competence to face a problem, understand its parts, and make it right.(他向他展示了，作为一个男人，不是要大声或强壮，而是要有不张扬的能力去面对问题，理解问题的各个部分，并把它解决好。)”可知，从父亲的话“有些问题是不容忽视的”中我们可以推断出他想教马克积极面对问题。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“His father didn’t just quickly fix it. He showed Mark how to turn off the water valves (阀) under the sink, explaining why it was the first and most important step.(他父亲并没有很快就把它修好。他向马克展示如何关闭水槽下面的水阀，并解释为什么这是第一步，也是最重要的一步。)”可知，他的父亲是有耐心的，再根据最后一段“He had shown him that being a man wasn’t about being loud or strong, but about having the quiet competence to face a problem, understand its parts, and make it right. It was a lesson no textbook could ever teach.(他向他展示了，作为一个男人，不是要大声或强壮，而是要有不张扬的能力去面对问题，理解问题的各个部分，并把它解决好。这是任何教科书都无法教给我们的一课。)”可知，这位父亲很有智慧，因此用patient和wise来描述他，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段““Drip...drip...drip...” (滴答)(“滴……滴……滴……”)”，第二段“The sound was a tiny, persistent drumbeat in the quiet of the kitchen.(寂静的厨房里传来微弱却持续不断的鼓点声。)”和最后一段“He had shown him that being a man wasn’t about being loud or strong, but about having the quiet competence to face a problem, understand its parts, and make it right. It was a lesson no textbook could ever teach.(他向他展示了，作为一个男人，不是要大声或强壮，而是要有安静的能力去面对问题，理解问题的各个部分，并把它解决好。这是任何教科书都无法教给我们的一课。)”可知，厨房水龙头滴水声持续一周，马克习以为常，父亲耐心地教马克问题不应被忽视，而是学习新知识的契机。马克意识到，父亲不仅修好了水龙头，更让他明白真正的男子气概在于冷静解决问题的能力，这是课本无法传授的，因此最好的题目是C选项“A Lesson in the Drip(点滴中的一课)”。故选C。 C(必修一 U1 Lifestyles) Reaching for phones upon waking, standing in the same point on the station, enjoying a sweet treat after the evening meal-we all have habits that shape our lives. The majority of our daily actions are performed automatically, according to our new study. How much of our day-to-day lives are shaped by habit? We sent cues (提示) to the phones of 105 participants aged 18-73 years old, six times a day over one week. Each cue asked four questions: what were they doing? How unconsciously was it initiated? To what extent was it performed automatically? And how much had they wanted to do it? The prompts (提示信息) showed, whether working, studying, or doing household chores, that 65% of actions started out of habit, 88% on autopilot. This suggests that around two-thirds of our daily decisions are automated. However, this does not mean that we simply act mindlessly, without awareness or free will. We would not apply the effort needed to repeatedly do these actions if they served no purpose. Our habits align with our goals. We may reach for our phones automatically, but that can help us stay informed. We might instinctively stand in the same spot on the platform, but that may help us find a seat on the train. Habits are adaptive. We have limited mental resources at any one time. If we had to deliberate over all our routine decisions each day- like when to have a shower-we would have less capacity to focus on more important matters, like preparing for the upcoming presentation in the day. In fact, deliberating over actions usually done habitually can backfire. One 2017 study showed that when motivated to perform effectively, participants tended to avoid relying on their habits and engage in more mindful performance. Ironically, people who chose to think twice performed worse than those who acted habitually. Habits are not, therefore, the enemy of free will. In fact, they can make life easier. What needs our attention is that the downside of habits appears when they stop serving our goals. 8. How does the author introduce his topic? A. By analyzing facts. B. By giving examples. C. By imagining stories. D. By showing classifications. 9. What do the underlined words “align with” mean? A. Go against. B. Depend on. C. Break away from. D. Fall in line with. 10. What is the primary benefit of habits? A. They require more mindful performance. B. They enhance creativity for important tasks. C. They conserve our limited mental resources. D. They improve the quality of our daily decisions. 11. What may the passage talk about next? A. How to form a good habit. B. How to get rid of bad habits. C. Examples of habits’ drawbacks. D. More benefits of habitual actions. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现日常约三分之二的行为源于习惯，同时说明习惯与目标一致、具有适应性，并非自由意志的敌人。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Reaching for phones upon waking, standing in the same point on the station, enjoying a sweet treat after the evening meal-we all have habits that shape our lives. The majority of our daily actions are performed automatically, according to our new study.(醒来就拿起手机，站在车站的同一个地方，在晚餐后享受甜蜜的款待——我们都有习惯，这些习惯塑造了我们的生活。根据我们的新研究，我们的大部分日常行为都是自动完成的。)”可知，作者开篇列举了“醒来摸手机、车站固定位置候车、晚饭后吃甜食”三个具体习惯案例，以此引出“习惯塑造生活”的核心话题，属于举例引入的方式。故选B。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“We may reach for our phones automatically, but that can help us stay informed. We might instinctively stand in the same spot on the platform, but that may help us find a seat on the train.(我们可能会下意识地拿起手机，但这能帮助我们及时了解信息；我们或许会本能地站在站台的同一个位置，但这有助于我们在火车上找到座位。)”可知，下文举例“下意识拿手机能了解信息、固定站台位置能找座位”，说明习惯与目标是一致的。选项D“Fall in line with.(与……一致)”，与此相符。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Habits are adaptive. We have limited mental resources at any one time. If we had to deliberate over all our routine decisions each day- like when to have a shower-we would have less capacity to focus on more important matters, like preparing for the upcoming presentation in the day.(习惯具有适应性。人在任何时候的心智资源都是有限的。如果每天都要仔细斟酌所有日常决策 —— 比如什么时候洗澡 —— 我们就没那么多精力专注于更重要的事情，比如准备当天即将到来的演讲。)”可知，习惯的主要益处是节省我们有限的心智资源，无需在日常琐事上耗费过多思考，从而能专注更重要的事。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What needs our attention is that the downside of habits appears when they stop serving our goals.(需要我们关注的是，当习惯不再服务于目标时，其负面影响才会显现。)”可知，文章结尾明确引出习惯不再服务于目标时会显现负面影响，接下来最可能围绕习惯的弊端展开，补充相关具体例子。故选C。 D(必修二 U4 Information Technology) Across the U.S., human therapy access is harder than ever-high costs, few licensed therapists, and limited insurance. Faced with this gap, many turn to AI tools like ChatGPT for emotional support. For example, 32-year-old Kristen Johansson, a mom, relied on the same therapist for five years to cope with her mother’s death, divorce, and childhood trauma (创伤). But when the therapist stopped taking insurance, her $30 personal cost for each session jumped to $275. Even when the therapist charged less, she still couldn’t afford it. Six months later, Johansson used ChatGPT daily — paying $20 monthly to remove time limits — and found it helpful in ways humans weren’t. One key reason AI mental health tools are popular is accessibility. Unlike human therapists, who have long waitlists and fixed session times, AI chatbots are available 24/7. Johansson said she could reach AI at 2 a.m. after a bad dream — something no therapist offered. Users also value no judgment: AI doesn’t rush or make them self-conscious. Yet experts warn of risks. Dr. Jodi Halpern, a UC Berkeley psychiatrist, noted AI mimics empathy with lines like “I care about you,” creating false connection. This makes users form strong attachments, but AI lacks ethical training to handle them. Worse, AI prioritizes engagement over mental health — offering excess reassurance or comfort to keep users. Little regulation exists: AI firms aren’t bound by HIPAA, the therapist-patient privacy law. Only one AI therapy bot trial exists, and its product isn’t widely used. Tragedies happened, including teens who shared suicidal thoughts with unresponsive AI. AI leaders are addressing these risks. Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, wrote of “tensions between teen safety, freedom and privacy” and said the company prioritizes safety over privacy for minors. Dr. Halpern doesn’t want to ban AI — instead, she says it should stick to structured therapies, work with human therapists, and never replace them. The key, she argues, is using AI as a tool, not a substitute for human care. 12. Why does the author mention Kristen Johansson? A. To explain how fast ChatGPT has been developing. B. To show ChatGPT is more affordable than human therapists. C. To prove ChatGPT is better at treating trauma than humans. D. To give an example of people tuning to AI for mental health. 13. Which is the major reason for AI mental health tools’ popularity? A. They can cure emotional problems. B. They offer free services to all users. C. They are available at any time day or night. D. They are more experienced than human therapists. 14. What risk of AI chatbots does Dr. Jodi Halpern point out? A. They often refuse to help with social anxiety. B They share users’ data with other companies. C. They are too hard for older people to operate. D. They may cause users to form unhealthy attachments. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Patients benefit a lot from AI therapy. B. People should use AI wisely for mental health. C. AI chatbots have solved the mental health care gap. D. Experts advise banning AI chatbots for mental benefits. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍美国心理治疗资源短缺背景下AI心理健康工具的兴起、优势、风险及合理使用建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Faced with this gap, many turn to AI tools like ChatGPT for emotional support.(面对这一缺口，许多人转向ChatGPT等人工智能工具寻求情感支持)”和第二段中的“For example, 32-year-old Kristen Johansson, a mom, relied on the same therapist for five years to cope with her mother’s death, divorce, and childhood trauma (创伤).(例如，32岁的Kristen Johansson是一名母亲，她在5年的时间里一直依靠同一位治疗师来应对母亲的死亡、离婚和童年创伤)”可知，作者提及 Kristen Johansson是为了举例说明人们会向AI寻求心理健康支持。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One key reason AI mental health tools are popular is accessibility. Unlike human therapists, who have long waitlists and fixed session times, AI chatbots are available 24/7.(人工智能心理健康工具受欢迎的一个关键原因是其易获取性。与预约名单长、就诊时间固定的人类治疗师不同，人工智能聊天机器人全天候可用)”可知，AI心理健康工具受欢迎的主要原因是它们日夜随时可用。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Dr. Jodi Halpern, a UC Berkeley psychiatrist, noted AI mimics empathy with lines like ‘I care about you,’ creating false connection. This makes users form strong attachments.(加州大学伯克利分校的精神病学家乔迪・哈尔彭博士指出，人工智能会用“我在乎你”这样的话语模仿共情，建立虚假的联系，这会让用户产生强烈的依恋)”可知，乔迪・哈尔彭博士指出AI聊天机器人可能导致用户形成不健康的依恋。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段介绍人们转向AI寻求心理支持、第三段讲AI的优势、第四段讲AI的风险、第五段讲合理使用AI的建议，结合最后一段中的“The key, she argues, is using AI as a tool, not a substitute for human care.(她认为，关键是将人工智能作为一种工具，而不是人类关怀的替代品) ”可知，文章核心是人们应明智地使用AI解决心理健康问题。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)(选必二 U4 Humor) 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 I first arrived in China, I thought I’d prepared for cultural differences.

My Chinese roommate, Liu, looked at it with genuine surprise. ____16____ He nicely pushed a thermos (保温杯) of hot water towards me. “This is better for you,“ he said kindly. I was confused. How could plain hot water be better than refreshing, cold water? The plot thickened everywhere I went. ____17____ In restaurants, waiters would automatically bring me a pot of boiling water without asking. My professors sipped from their thermoses during lectures. It was a nationwide rule that I had somehow missed. One morning, I had a slight sore throat. When Liu heard me cough, he sprang into action and got his kettle. ____18____”Drink this, “he instructed, handing me the thermos. “It will help.” Doubtful but touched, I drank the warm water all day. To my astonishment, my throat felt better by the evening. Was it magic? Or just hydration (水合作用)? I decided to investigate this cultural mystery. I asked Liu, “Why is warm water the solution to everything?“ He explained it was about balance. ____19____ However, warm water helps your body function smoothly. It was my ”Aha!” moment. ____20____It wasn’t just a preference; it was a deeply held belief in keeping internal harmony. Now, I still enjoy an occasional cold drink, but you’ll mostly find me with my own thermos. I’ve not only accepted the Warm Water Rule; I’ve become one of its devoted followers. A. My curiosity finally got the better of me. B. It was as if I had broken an unspoken law. C. I found the concept both strange and abnormal. D. It wasn’t just about temperature; it was about philosophy. E. He immediately filled his electric kettle and started boiling water. F. The library, the gym, even the cinema-everyone carried thermoses. G. Cold drinks are believed to shock your system and slow your digestion. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. E 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者初到中国时，逐渐了解并接受“温水法则”这一文化现象的经历。 【16题详解】 上文“I took out my ice-cold water. My Chinese roommate, Liu, looked at it with genuine surprise.(我拿出自己带的冰镇水，中国室友小刘看到后，露出了真切的惊讶神情。)”提到作者拿出冰水时，室友露出惊讶的表情。选项B“It was as if I had broken an unspoken law.(仿佛我触犯了一条不成文的规定。)”延续上文内容，指出了室友惊讶的原因，逻辑一致。故选B。 【17题详解】 上文“The plot thickened everywhere I went.(后来我发现，无论走到哪里，这种情况都随处可见。)”提到无论哪儿都有这种情况。选项F“The library, the gym, even the cinema-everyone carried thermoses.(图书馆、健身房，甚至电影院里，每个人都带着保温杯。)”举例说明这一现象的普遍性，图书馆、健身房、电影院里所有人都带保温杯。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“One morning, I had a slight sore throat. When Liu heard me cough, he sprang into action and got his kettle.(有天早上，我喉咙有点痛。小刘听到我咳嗽后，立刻行动起来，拿起了他的水壶。)”提到作者喉咙疼，室友立刻拿水壶。选项E“He immediately filled his electric kettle and started boiling water.(他马上往电水壶里加水，开始烧开水。)”延续上文内容，指出室友拿水壶后立刻加水烧开水。故选E。 【19题详解】 上文“I decided to investigate this cultural mystery. I asked Liu, “Why is warm water the solution to everything? “He explained it was about balance.(我决定要解开这个文化谜团。我问小刘：“为什么温水好像能解决所有问题？”他解释说，核心在于“平衡”。)”提到小刘解释了这一切的核心是平衡。选项G“Cold drinks are believed to shock your system and slow your digestion.(人们认为冷饮会刺激身体系统，减缓消化速度。)”具体说明了平衡的内涵，即冷饮被认为会刺激身体、减缓消化，与下文“However, warm water helps your body function smoothly.(而温水则有助于身体顺畅运转。)”形成对比。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“It was my ”Aha!” moment.(那一刻，我恍然大悟。)”指出作者恍然大悟。选项D“It wasn’t just about temperature; it was about philosophy.(这不仅仅关乎温度，更蕴含着一种生活哲学。)”延续上文内容，指出作者领悟到这不仅关乎温度，更关乎一种生活哲学。故选D。 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)(必修一U2 Sports and fitness) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 As a star in my high school team, I was never interested in team sports, but I loved track, confident in my ____21____.

He had stopped playing after his grandmother’s passing a year ago. The piano had been her passion, her gift to him. Now, seeing the announcement, he felt a familiar ache mixed with a strange sense of longing. That evening, he found himself standing before the old piano in their living room. The dust cover lay folded on a nearby chair, exactly where he had left it a year ago. His fingers trembled as he lifted the fallboard,revealing the yellowed keys that had once felt like an extension of his hands. He played a scale (音阶),the notes sounding hollow in the silent room. His fingers felt stiff and uncooperative. Frustrated, he was about to close the piano when he noticed an envelope inside the music rack (乐谱架). It was addressed to him in his grandmother’s elegant handwriting. With shaking hands, he opened it. “My dearest Liam,” it began. “If you’re reading this,it means you’ve returned to the music. Don’t be afraid of the silence between the notes. That’s where the truth lives. There’s something I never told you: your great-grandfather was a composer. His final work,’Lunar Whisper for the Beloved’, was never completed. I’ve left you the first movement.The rest... well, that’s for you to discover.” Beneath the letter lay sheet music with his grandmother’s notes. At the bottom of the page,she had drawn seven stars next to specific notes, with the words:”Follow where these lead you.” 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。 Liam studied the marked notes late into the night. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of competition,rain fell in thin threads. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Liam studied the marked notes late into the night. The seven stars seemed to pulse with a hidden message, guiding his fingers across the yellowed keys. He played the first movement repeatedly, each time pausing at the starred notes as if waiting for a secret to reveal itself. As the hours passed, he realized the notes formed a melody that felt both familiar and new, as if his grandmother’s spirit was whispering through the music. He knew he had to finish what she had started, no matter how difficult it might be. On the day of competition, rain fell in thin threads, tapping against the windows of the community center. Liam sat nervously in the waiting room, clutching the sheet music that now felt like a precious map. When his name was called, he walked onto the stage, his heart pounding. As he began to play, the melody he had discovered flowed from his fingers, carrying him beyond his fears. The judges leaned forward, their eyes reflecting surprise and admiration. When he finished, the room erupted in applause, and Liam knew he had found not just a song, but a part of himself he thought he had lost. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。利亚姆在祖母去世后不再弹琴，社区中心钢琴比赛的公告唤起他内心的渴望。当晚他发现祖母留下的信和乐谱，信中透露曾祖父未完成的作品，并让他循着乐谱上标记的七颗星去探索。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“利亚姆熬夜研究那些做了标记的音符。”可知，第一段可描写利亚姆被乐谱上的七星标记吸引，反复弹奏探寻隐藏信息的过程，刻画他专注、疑惑又带着期待的心理，以及发现旋律与祖母精神联结的顿悟。 ②由第二段句首内容“比赛当天，细雨绵绵，敲打着社区中心的窗户。”可知，第二段可描写利亚姆带着珍贵乐谱参赛的紧张心情，舞台上弹奏时的投入状态，以及评委和观众的反应，最后通过掌声体现他完成祖母心愿、找回自我的成长。 2.续写线索：熬夜研究 —— 反复弹奏探寻 —— 领悟旋律深意 ——比赛来临—— 舞台倾情演绎 —— 收获认可与自我回归 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①暂停：pause/suspend ② 紧握：clutch/grip/hold tightly ③ 走上舞台：walk onto the stage/step onto the stage/go onto the stage 情绪类 ① 紧张地：nervously/anxiously ② 惊讶的：surprise/astonishment/amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】He knew he had to finish what she had started, no matter how difficult it might be.

For a week, it had been Mark’s constant companion during his breakfast. He’d learned to tune it out, just like the pile of schoolbooks on the desk. One evening, his father came home from work, set his bag down, and headed straight for the kitchen sink. He didn’t sigh heavily or complain about the water bill. Instead, he laid out a small toolkit, a shiny new washer, and a bucket on the floor. “Assistant needed,” he announced, looking directly at Mark. Mark rolled his eyes quietly. Homework was waiting. But he dragged a chair over and watched. His father didn’t just quickly fix it. He showed Mark how to turn off the water valves (阀) under the sink, explaining why it was the first and most important step. “Always know where your ‘off switch’ is, son. For anything,” he said, his voice calm. Then, he carefully took apart the faucet (水龙头) handle, letting Mark see the rusty, worn-out washer inside. “See this? A small thing, broken. But it’s the source of all that noise and waste. Fix the small thing, and you solve the big annoyance.” He let Mark place the new, flexible washer into the groove (凹槽). Together, they settled everything. When his father turned the water back on, Mark held his breath. He turned the handle.The drip was gone. The kitchen was peacefully, wonderfully silent. His father wiped his hands on a rag. “Some problems aren’t meant to be ignored, Mark. They’re little invitations to learn something new.” Mark looked at the tidy toolbox and the silent sink. He realized his father hadn’t just fixed a leaky faucet. He had shown him that being a man wasn’t about being loud or strong, but about having the quiet competence to face a problem, understand its parts, and make it right. It was a lesson no textbook could ever teach. 4. What was Mark’s response when his father asked for an assistant? A. He unwillingly helped his father. B. He refused to help for heavy schoolwork. C. He complained about the leaky faucet first. D. He immediately started doing his homework. 5. What can we infer from the father’s words “Some problems aren’t meant to be ignored”? A Mark had a habit of ignoring his homework. B. The water bill would become a great problem. C. He intended to teach Mark to face problems actively. D. He was criticizing Mark for not fixing the faucet earlier. 6. Which words best describe the father? A. Strict and demanding. B. Patient and wise. C. Calm and creative. D. Dynamic and funny. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Sound of Silence B. My Father, My Teacher C. A Lesson in the Drip D. Leaky Faucet, Active Life C(必修一 U1 Lifestyles) Reaching for phones upon waking standing in the same point on the station, enjoying a sweet treat after the evening meal-we all have habits that shape our lives. The majority of our daily actions are performed automatically, according to our new study. How much of our day-to-day lives are shaped by habit? We sent cues (提示) to the phones of 105 participants aged 18-73 years old, six times a day over one week. Each cue asked four questions: what were they doing? How unconsciously was it initiated? To what extent was it performed automatically? And how much had they wanted to do it? The prompts (提示信息) showed, whether working, studying, or doing household chores, that 65% of actions started out of habit, 88% on autopilot. This suggests that around two-thirds of our daily decisions are automated. However, this does not mean that we simply act mindlessly, without awareness or free will. We would not apply the effort needed to repeatedly do these actions if they served no purpose. Our habits align with our goals. We may reach for our phones automatically, but that can help us stay informed. We might instinctively stand in the same spot on the platform, but that may help us find a seat on the train. Habits are adaptive. We have limited mental resources at any one time. If we had to deliberate over all our routine decisions each day- like when to have a shower-we would have less capacity to focus on more important matters, like preparing for the upcoming presentation in the day. In fact, deliberating over actions usually done habitually can backfire. One 2017 study showed that when motivated to perform effectively, participants tended to avoid relying on their habits and engage in more mindful performance. Ironically, people who chose to think twice performed worse than those who acted habitually. Habits are not, therefore, the enemy of free will. In fact, they can make life easier. What needs our attention is that the downside of habits appears when they stop serving our goals. 8. How does the author introduce his topic? A. By analyzing facts. B. By giving examples. C. By imagining stories. D. By showing classifications. 9. What do the underlined words “align with” mean? A. Go against. B. Depend on. C. Break away from. D. Fall in line with. 10. What is the primary benefit of habits? A. They require more mindful performance. B. They enhance creativity for important tasks. C. They conserve our limited mental resources. D. They improve the quality of our daily decisions. 11. What may the passage talk about next? A. How to form a good habit. B. How to get rid of bad habits. C. Examples of habits’ drawbacks. D. More benefits of habitual actions. D(必修二 U4 Information Technology) Across the U.S., human therapy access is harder than ever-high costs, few licensed therapists, and limited insurance. Faced with this gap, many turn to AI tools like ChatGPT for emotional support. For example, 32-year-old Kristen Johansson, a mom, relied on the same therapist for five years to cope with her mother’s death, divorce, and childhood trauma (创伤). But when the therapist stopped taking insurance, her $30 personal cost for each session jumped to $275. Even when the therapist charged less, she still couldn’t afford it. Six months later, Johansson used ChatGPT daily — paying $20 monthly to remove time limits — and found it helpful in ways humans weren’t. One key reason AI mental health tools are popular is accessibility. Unlike human therapists, who have long waitlists and fixed session times, AI chatbots are available 24/7. Johansson said she could reach AI at 2 a.m. after a bad dream — something no therapist offered. Users also value no judgment: AI doesn’t rush or make them self-conscious. Yet experts warn of risks. Dr. Jodi Halpern, a UC Berkeley psychiatrist, noted AI mimics empathy with lines like “I care about you,” creating false connection. This makes users form strong attachments, but AI lacks ethical training to handle them. Worse, AI prioritizes engagement over mental health — offering excess reassurance or comfort to keep users. Little regulation exists: AI firms aren’t bound by HIPAA, the therapist-patient privacy law. Only one AI therapy bot trial exists, and its product isn’t widely used. Tragedies happened, including teens who shared suicidal thoughts with unresponsive AI. AI leaders are addressing these risks. Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, wrote of “tensions between teen safety, freedom and privacy” and said the company prioritizes safety over privacy for minors. Dr. Halpern doesn’t want to ban AI — instead, she says it should stick to structured therapies, work with human therapists, and never replace them.

He had stopped playing after his grandmother’s passing a year ago. The piano had been her passion, her gift to him. Now, seeing the announcement, he felt a familiar ache mixed with a strange sense of longing. That evening, he found himself standing before the old piano in their living room. The dust cover lay folded on a nearby chair, exactly where he had left it a year ago. His fingers trembled as he lifted the fallboard,revealing the yellowed keys that had once felt like an extension of his hands. He played a scale (音阶),the notes sounding hollow in the silent room. His fingers felt stiff and uncooperative. Frustrated, he was about to close the piano when he noticed an envelope inside the music rack (乐谱架). It was addressed to him in his grandmother’s elegant handwriting. With shaking hands, he opened it. “My dearest Liam,” it began. “If you’re reading this,it means you’ve returned to the music. Don’t be afraid of the silence between the notes. That’s where the truth lives. There’s something I never told you: your great-grandfather was a composer. His final work,’Lunar Whisper for the Beloved’, was never completed. I’ve left you the first movement.The rest... well, that’s for you to discover.” Beneath the letter lay sheet music with his grandmother’s notes. At the bottom of the page,she had drawn seven stars next to specific notes, with the words:”Follow where these lead you.” 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。 Liam studied the marked notes late into the night. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of competition,rain fell in thin threads. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
