We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful natural attractions on the European continent, which are perfect for those who love to travel around the world. We’re sure they will take your breath away.
Capri’s Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto in Capri is one of Italy’s main draws for the incredible blue light visible within the cave. The peculiar effect is caused by sunlight passing through a deep underwater cavity and shining back up through the water. The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats.
The Tuscan Countryside
Few views are as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony.
Cliffs (悬崖) of Moher
The attractive Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are a sight to behold — the rugged cliffs rise up 214m high from the water and are 7km long. With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a standout attraction and well worth a day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time.
21. Why might visitors struggle to visit the Blue Grotto?
A. Because of the low entrance. B. Because of a lack of lighting.
C. Because of the deep water. D. Because of a lot of invisible rapids.
22. What makes the Tuscan countryside appealing?
A. Bare trees. B. Colorful lights.
C. Rich night life. D. Peaceful rural scenery.
23. What do the last two attractions both show?
A. The mystery of stone caves. B. The power of natural forces.
C. The history of local cultures. D. The steepness of attractive cliffs.

As the founder of Code Blue CPR, Sullivan dedicates himself to teaching the vital skills of CPR and using defibrillator (除颤器), both at home and globally. Earlier this year, the old man set out on an inspiring journey to the Himalayas, where he installed what he proudly calls the world’s highest defibrillator. In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏停止), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes.
To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest.
“It was the proudest moment of my life when I learned what had happened,” said Sullivan. A Sherpa informed him of the successful use of the defibrillator. He hopes it will inspire others to understand the importance of having access to such lifesaving equipment.
During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share what he knew about CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before. Now back in the UK, he is busy preparing to present a training initiative to the government aimed at equipping 1.2 million children across London with essential CPR skills.
Sullivan conceives a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives. He emphasized the need for widespread training. He gave an example: Once, around 30 people watching nearby couldn’t help a person in cardiac arrest because they lacked the necessary knowledge.
24. Why did Sullivan install the defibrillator in the Himalayas?
A. To lift climbers’ survival chances. B. To advertise his new defibrillator.
C. To promote his CPR training company. D. To test the device in extreme conditions.
25. What did the author want to show by mentioning the French woman’s survival?
A. Climbing mountains was risky. B. Sullivan’s effort paid off.
C. There were too few defibrillators. D. Sullivan’s journey was adventurous.
26. What did Sullivan do when staying at Nepal?
A. He presented a training initiative.
B. He inspired people to extend CPR.
C. He installed defibrillators across the country.
D. He provided relevant knowledge on CPR training for locals.
27. What does the underlined word “conceives” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Imagines. B. Announces. C. Witnesses. D. Doubts.
C
Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.
A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.
But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (测量仪器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.
“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.”
Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress—all of which are tied to ageing and disease.
“These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity,” said Dr John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly—with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.
28. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To find new use of caffeine in medicine.
B. To identify how caffeine influences cell ageing.
C. To explore the history of caffeine consumption.
D. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells.
29. What does TOR serve as?
A. An obvious sign of ageing. C. A growth command center.
B. An energy source. D. A cellular fuel gauge.
30. Which aspect does John-Patrick state about the research in the last paragraph?
A. Its disadvantages. B. Its potential.
C. Its characteristics. D. Its economic benefits.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long
B. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells
C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Ageing’s Hidden Pathways
D. Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch
D
In recent years, research into using robots as carers or nurses has grown significantly.
A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations. “The robot never experiences exhaustion or boredom,” the professor remarks. “The robot could be caring for the elderly within 10 years, although they are far from perfect now.”
Some major technology companies are also actively involved in the research of robo-nurses. However, a researcher admits that not everyone is receptive to the idea of having a robot as a carer.
This perspective is supported by a research company, which revealed resistance to the use of humanoid robots in elderly care. People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by “machines”.
Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future robo-pets have already found applications worldwide. A therapeutic robo-seal, developed in Japan, has been shown to relieve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (痴呆). A doctor states, “Some patients who were previously non-verbal started speaking again first to the seal, and then to others about the seal.” The doctor acknowledges that there are limitations to robo-pets, especially the high cost. One such robo-pet is priced at about $5,000.
Robotic solutions also have their disadvantages. Another expert points out that one concern is whether the popularity of humanoid carers could lead to the further loneliness of the elderly. “We must pose the question: Are robots isolating people more, or truly helping them?” he says. He also mentions that the use of robotics raises issues regarding personal data security. Despite these doubts, the expert believes that the development of robo-care is inevitable.
32. What can Nadine do according to the text?
A. Cook meals for patients. B. Monitor nurses and doctors.
C. Look after patients. D. Do heavy work for the elderly.
33. Why do some people dislike the idea of using humanoid robots in elderly care?
A. Robots are too expensive. B. Robots cannot relieve dementia symptoms.
C They think robots fail to handle emergencies. D. They disbelieve machines’ caring for loved ones.
34. What can we infer about robo-pets from the text?
A. They are only available in Japan at present.
B. The low price makes them accessible to most people.
C. They are more widely accepted than humanoid robots.
D. They have successfully cured dementia in many patients.
35. What is the author’s overall attitude to robotic carers?
A. Objective. B. Appreciative. C. Opposed. D. Indifferent.

A Guide to Self-improvement
We often hear about self-improvement, but real growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better! ____36____ Here are five practical ways to turn this idea into action.
Practice mindfulness daily. ____37____ Instead of wasting time on your phone, spend a few minutes each day on mindfulness. You can try deep breathing, reflecting on your day, going outside, or writing down your thoughts.
____38____ This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.
Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation. ____39____ A shared journey makes goals more motivating.
Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day. ____40____
Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being brave, mindful, and willing to try. Challenge yourself a bit each day, and in 365 days, you’ll see a stronger and more capable version of yourself.
A. You can get a friend’s support.
B. Try extreme sport once in a while.
C. Say “yes” to something that scares you.
D. Mental health is as important as physical health.
E. Your progress each day is not significant enough.
F. The goal is to explore and grow, not to master it.
G. The real challenge lies in these small consistent actions.

The Right Choice
I had wanted to win the “Student of the Month” award for a long time. My teacher, Mr Clark, said the award wasn’t just about good grades, but for students who showed great character, like being honest, responsible, and kind to others, even when no one was watching.
My mom had a good reputation for her honesty in the community, and she always shared the stories behind it. She once said to me, “Good grades could open doors, but strong morals and virtues would guide you through them.” So, I took all her words to heart. I worked very hard. I helped my classmates with their homework, and I always followed the school rules.
When Mr Clark announced my name, I was so happy. My best friend, Sarah, gave me a big smile. I couldn’t wait to tell my mom.
The award was a small, shiny badge (徽章). I pinned it to my schoolbag with pride. For a whole week, I felt like I was on top of the world. My mom said she was proud of me. However, something happened. I was looking for my English book in my schoolbag when I found something that made my heart stop. It was Sarah’s math competition medal. She was looking for it everywhere last week, even crying because she thought she had lost it forever.
I felt terrible. I remembered that last week, I had borrowed her math book, and the medal must have fallen into my bag accidentally. But if I told everyone the truth, what would they think? Would they say I was a thief? My parents would be disappointed, and my friends might laugh at me. I thought about just putting the medal in Sarah’s desk secretly. No one would know, and I could keep my perfect image. It seemed like the easiest way out.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Not knowing what to do, I found my parents and poured out my story.

We’ve rounded up some of the most beautiful natural attractions on the European continent, which are perfect for those who love to travel around the world. We’re sure they will take your breath away.
Capri’s Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto in Capri is one of Italy’s main draws for the incredible blue light visible within the cave. The peculiar effect is caused by sunlight passing through a deep underwater cavity and shining back up through the water. The mouth of the sea cave is only a meter high, so visitors will find it difficult to enter it, unless they take small boats.
The Tuscan Countryside
Few views are as attractive as those of Italy’s rural Tuscan hills, where rolling landscapes stretch endlessly under a golden sun. Lined with cypress trees, the countryside is all at once quiet and calm, while its vibrant shades of green and yellow are a feast for the eyes, creating a picturesque scene that feels like stepping into a masterpiece of nature and human harmony.
Cliffs (悬崖) of Moher
The attractive Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are a sight to behold — the rugged cliffs rise up 214m high from the water and are 7km long. With the Atlantic Ocean continuously breaking onto the cliffs and heavy winds greeting you along the edge, this dramatic landscape represents the force of nature in its purest form.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
The Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a standout attraction and well worth a day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its waterfalls, caves, and lakes, which were created due to water flowing through limestone for centuries, demonstrating the enduring strength and transformative power of nature over time.
21. Why might visitors struggle to visit the Blue Grotto?
A. Because of the low entrance. B. Because of a lack of lighting.
C. Because of the deep water. D. Because of a lot of invisible rapids.
22. What makes the Tuscan countryside appealing?
A. Bare trees. B. Colorful lights.
C. Rich night life. D. Peaceful rural scenery.

As the founder of Code Blue CPR, Sullivan dedicates himself to teaching the vital skills of CPR and using defibrillator (除颤器), both at home and globally. Earlier this year, the old man set out on an inspiring journey to the Himalayas, where he installed what he proudly calls the world’s highest defibrillator. In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏停止), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes.
To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational, Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest.
“It was the proudest moment of my life when I learned what had happened,” said Sullivan. A Sherpa informed him of the successful use of the defibrillator. He hopes it will inspire others to understand the importance of having access to such lifesaving equipment.
During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share what he knew about CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before. Now back in the UK, he is busy preparing to present a training initiative to the government aimed at equipping 1.2 million children across London with essential CPR skills.
Sullivan conceives a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives. He emphasized the need for widespread training. He gave an example: Once, around 30 people watching nearby couldn’t help a person in cardiac arrest because they lacked the necessary knowledge.
24. Why did Sullivan install the defibrillator in the Himalayas?
A. To lift climbers’ survival chances. B. To advertise his new defibrillator.
C. To promote his CPR training company. D. To test the device in extreme conditions.
25. What did the author want to show by mentioning the French woman’s survival?
A. Climbing mountains was risky. B. Sullivan’s effort paid off.
C. There were too few defibrillators. D. Sullivan’s journey was adventurous.
26. What did Sullivan do when staying at Nepal?
A. He presented a training initiative.
B. He inspired people to extend CPR.
C. He installed defibrillators across the country.
D. He provided relevant knowledge on CPR training for locals.
27. What does the underlined word “conceives” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Imagines. B. Announces. C. Witnesses. D. Doubts.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. A
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest, increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes.(在珠穆朗玛峰这种充满挑战的环境中,登山者面临着诸多危险。而及时使用除颤器能够显著提高心脏骤停后的存活率,在最初的三分钟内,存活几率可从8%大幅提升至超过50%)”可知,沙利文要把除颤器安装在喜马拉雅山区是为了提高登山者的生存几率。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational, Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest.(为了确保除颤器能正常运行,沙利文爬到了超过18000英尺的高海拔处,然后下降到附近海拔约17000英尺的一个村庄进行安装。他于4月30日结束了这次惊人的冒险之旅,几周后得知该设备成功挽救了一名30岁法国女性的生命,她当时突发心脏骤停,这让他兴奋不已)”可知,作者提及那位法国女子的幸存经历意在表明沙利文的努力得到了回报。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share what he knew about CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before.(在尼泊尔期间,沙利文还借此机会向当地村民传授了他所掌握的心肺复苏术和除颤器使用培训知识,其中很多村民此前从未接受过此类指导)”可知,沙利文在尼泊尔期间为当地居民提供了有关心肺复苏术培训的相关知识。故选D。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives(一个未来,在那里每所学校都配备有除颤器,并且每个学生、教师和工作人员都接受过挽救生命的培训)”可知,后文描述“每个学校都配备除颤器,师生都接受救生培训”的场景,这是沙利文对未来的设想。故划线词意思是“想象”。故选A。

Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reduced risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly is its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks have remained a mystery. In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.
A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.
But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (测量仪器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.
“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.”
Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress—all of which are tied to ageing and disease.
“These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity,” said Dr John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly—with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.
28. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To find new use of caffeine in medicine.
B. To identify how caffeine influences cell ageing.
C. To explore the history of caffeine consumption.
D. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells.
29. What does TOR serve as?
A. An obvious sign of ageing. C. A growth command center.
B. An energy source. D. A cellular fuel gauge.
30. Which aspect does John-Patrick state about the research in the last paragraph?
A. Its disadvantages. B. Its potential.
C. Its characteristics. D. Its economic benefits.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long
B. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells
C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Ageing’s Hidden Pathways
D. Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】

主旨大意题。根据第一段中“In new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects ageing by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在对一种与人类细胞惊人相似单细胞生物裂殖酵母的新研究中,研究人员发现,咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统影响衰老)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了咖啡因通过激活一种古老的细胞能量系统AMPK来影响细胞衰老,从而可能对健康和长寿有益。因此D项“Your Morning Coffee Flips an Ancient Longevity Switch(你早上的咖啡开启了一个古老的长寿开关)”是文章最佳标题。故选D。
D
In recent years, research into using robots as carers or nurses has grown significantly.
A team led by a famous professor is developing a robot called Nadine. This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations. “The robot never experiences exhaustion or boredom,” the professor remarks. “The robot could be caring for the elderly within 10 years, although they are far from perfect now.”
Some major technology companies are also actively involved in the research of robo-nurses. However, a researcher admits that not everyone is receptive to the idea of having a robot as a carer.
This perspective is supported by a research company, which revealed resistance to the use of humanoid robots in elderly care. People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by “machines”.
Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future, robo-pets have already found applications worldwide. A therapeutic robo-seal, developed in Japan, has been shown to relieve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (痴呆). A doctor states, “Some patients who were previously non-verbal started speaking again first to the seal, and then to others about the seal.” The doctor acknowledges that there are limitations to robo-pets, especially the high cost. One such robo-pet is priced at about $5,000.
Robotic solutions also have their disadvantages. Another expert points out that one concern is whether the popularity of humanoid carers could lead to the further loneliness of the elderly. “We must pose the question: Are robots isolating people more, or truly helping them?” he says. He also mentions that the use of robotics raises issues regarding personal data security. Despite these doubts, the expert believes that the development of robo-care is inevitable.
32. What can Nadine do according to the text?
A. Cook meals for patients. B. Monitor nurses and doctors.
C. Look after patients. D. Do heavy work for the elderly.
33. Why do some people dislike the idea of using humanoid robots in elderly care?
A. Robots are too expensive. B. Robots cannot relieve dementia symptoms.
C. They think robots fail to handle emergencies. D. They disbelieve machines’ caring for loved ones.
34. What can we infer about robo-pets from the text?
A. They are only available in Japan at present.
B. The low price makes them accessible to most people.
C. They are more widely accepted than humanoid robots.
D. They have successfully cured dementia in many patients.
35. What is the author’s overall attitude to robotic carers?
A. Objective. B. Appreciative. C. Opposed. D. Indifferent.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。近年来,机器人护理相关研究大幅发展,Nadine等护理机器人具备多种照护功能,但人形机器人用于老年护理面临部分人抵触。机器宠物已全球应用且成效显著,机器人护理虽有争议但发展不可避免。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This robot can monitor a patient’s physical and mental condition, call for help in emergencies, and engage in conversations.(这款机器人能够监测病人的身体和精神状况,在紧急情况下呼救,还能与人交谈)”可知,纳丁能照顾病人。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“People feel uneasy about the thought of their parents being attended to by “machines”.(人们一想到自己的父母由“机器”照料就感到不安)”可知,有些人不喜欢将人形机器人用于老年人护理这一想法是因为他们不相信机器能够照顾亲人。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Although the extensive use of humanoid robots may still be in the distant future, robo-pets have already found applications worldwide.(虽然高度仿人的机器人在遥远的将来或许还无法广泛应用,但机器人宠物却已经在全球范围内得到了应用)”可知,机器人宠物比人形机器人更受人们欢迎。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者既介绍了机器人护理员(Nadine)和机器宠物的优势(监测状况、缓解症状等),也客观提及争议(人们的抵触、价格高、可能加剧孤独、数据安全问题)。由此推测,作者对机器人护理员的总体态度是客观的。故选A。

A Guide to Self-improvement
We often hear about self-improvement, but real growth requires stepping out of our comfort zones. Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better! ____36____ Here are five practical ways to turn this idea into action.
Practice mindfulness daily. ____37____ Instead of wasting time on your phone, spend a few minutes each day on mindfulness. You can try deep breathing, reflecting on your day, going outside, or writing down your thoughts.
____38____ This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.
Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation. ____39____ A shared journey makes goals more motivating.
Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day. ____40____
Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being brave mindful, and willing to try. Challenge yourself a bit each day, and in 365 days, you’ll see a stronger and more capable version of yourself.
A. You can get a friend’s support.
B. Try extreme sport once in a while.
C. Say “yes” to something that scares you.
D. Mental health is as important as physical health.
E. Your progress each day is not significant enough.
F. The goal is to explore and grow, not to master it.
G. The real challenge lies in these small consistent actions.
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. C 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过每天微小的自我提升行动,如正念练习、勇敢尝试、设定目标、持续学习新事物,实现个人成长的方法。
【36题详解】
上文“Imagine getting just 1% better each day — by the end of the year, you wouldn’t be 365% better, but nearly 38 times better!(想象一下,每天进步1%——到年底,你不会进步365%,而是进步近38倍!)”说明每天进步1%带来的巨大变化,空处和前文为顺接关系,说明真正的挑战在于这些微小的行动。所以G项“真正的挑战在于这些持续的小行动”符合语境。故选G。
【37题详解】
上文“Practice mindfulness daily.(每天练习正念)”说明每天练习正念。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明心理健康的重要性。所以D项“心理健康和身体健康一样重要”符合语境,点明正念对心理健康的价值,为后文具体做法铺垫。故选D。
【38题详解】
下文“This doesn’t mean skydiving, bungee jumping off a bridge and so on. Instead, take a difficult but interesting class, apply to your dream college, or speak up in class even when you’re nervous. These small brave acts build confidence and help you find your true abilities.(这并不意味着跳伞、从桥上蹦极等等。相反,你可以上一门有难度但有趣的课,申请你梦想中的大学,或者即使紧张也要在课堂上发言。这些小小的勇敢行为能建立自信,帮助你发现自己的真正能力)”说明要勇敢地尝试一些事情,空处为本段的主旨句,应该和勇敢地尝试相关。所以C项“对让你害怕的事情说“是””符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
上文“Set a clear and meaningful goal. Choose a clear achievable goal — like reading one book a month, running a 5K, or getting top grades. Avoid overly big goals that may reduce your motivation.(设定一个明确而有意义的目标。选择一个明确可行的目标——比如每月读一本书,跑5公里,或者取得好成绩。避免设定可能降低你动力的过大的目标)”说明设定一个明确而有意义的目标,避免设定过大的目标,下文“A shared journey makes goals more motivating.(共同的旅程会让目标更有动力)”指出有人共同目标的人陪伴会更有动力,空处和前文为顺接关系,说明设定目标时可以寻求朋友的支持。所以A项“你可以得到朋友的支持”符合语境,且“shared journey”与“a friend’s support”相呼应。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“Learn something new consistently. Pick something you’re curious about — cooking, playing the guitar, or coding — and practice a little each day.(持续学习新事物。选择一些你感兴趣的东西——烹饪、弹吉他或编程——然后每天练习一点)”说明持续学习新事物,空处和前文为顺接关系,说明学习新事物的目的。所以F项“目标是探索和成长,而不是掌握它”符合语境,呼应“practice a little each day”的渐进式学习理念。故选F。

Celebrating the Sixth School Environmental Protection Day
On the afternoon of November 10th, our school newspaper organized a volunteer environmental activity in a nearby park to celebrate the Sixth School Environmental Protection Day.
During the activity, with the park management’s permission, we worked in teams to accomplish different tasks. Some of us picked up litter around, while others planted flowers and trees in bare areas.

The Right Choice
I had wanted to win the “Student of the Month” award for a long time. My teacher, Mr Clark, said the award wasn’t just about good grades, but for students who showed great character, like being honest, responsible, and kind to others, even when no one was watching.
My mom had a good reputation for her honesty in the community, and she always shared the stories behind it. She once said to me, “Good grades could open doors, but strong morals and virtues would guide you through them.” So, I took all her words to heart. I worked very hard. I helped my classmates with their homework, and I always followed the school rules.
When Mr Clark announced my name, I was so happy. My best friend, Sarah, gave me a big smile. I couldn’t wait to tell my mom.
The award was a small, shiny badge (徽章). I pinned it to my schoolbag with pride. For a whole week, I felt like I was on top of the world. My mom said she was proud of me. However, something happened. I was looking for my English book in my schoolbag when I found something that made my heart stop. It was Sarah’s math competition medal. She was looking for it everywhere last week, even crying because she thought she had lost it forever.
I felt terrible. I remembered that last week, I had borrowed her math book, and the medal must have fallen into my bag accidentally. But if I told everyone the truth, what would they think? Would they say I was a thief? My parents would be disappointed, and my friends might laugh at me. I thought about just putting the medal in Sarah’s desk secretly. No one would know, and I could keep my perfect image. It seemed like the easiest way out.

【答案】参考范文:
Not knowing what to do, I found my parents and poured out my story. They listened, and then my mom shared her story, “When I was at high school, I found a beautiful silver necklace in the restroom. I loved it and could have kept it. But finally, I chose to be an honest person and handed it over to the lost and found. Later, I learned that it belonged to a schoolgirl, which was a gift from her grandmother. Seeing her joy, I knew I had done the right thing.” Her story resonated with me, and I knew what I should do next.
Influenced by my mom’s story, I went to school with a clear purpose. First, I found Sarah and returned the medal, apologizing for my mistake. Sarah was so overjoyed to have it back. Then I went to Mr Clark and told him the whole story. After hearing it, he smiled. “Alex,” he said, “anyone can make a mistake. But it takes real courage and integrity to correct it. You have shown me today that you truly deserve your award.” His words made me feel that the badge on my bag was finally earned, and it felt better than ever before.
