Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A (2025·北京卷)The call to “know yourself” has been there since ancient times，but our sense of self doesn't always match what others perceive.Considering the stories we tell about ourselves can help us to change our minds for better. For many years，psychologists saw identity as a combination of someone's values，beliefs，goals and social roles.Then，in the 1980s，Bob Johnson created the life story model of identity，in which he proposes that，as we go through life，these core features are built in with our memories to create a personal story through which we understand our lives. Our life story is something that starts coming together in our teenage years，when we begin to organise our lives into chapters around key events or life changes，and begin to see ourselves as both the central character and，to a varying extent，the story's author.People with more consistent stories tend to have a stronger sense of identity，and they feel their life has more meaning，direction and sense of purpose.Such people show greater overall life satisfaction，too. Johnson has also investigated the link between well-being and certain story themes.He discovered that whether someone describes having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of a person's mental health.Another key theme involves finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events.“People could talk about gaining knowledge or personal growth，” says Johnson.His research shows that this is often missing for people with mental health conditions.The good news is that there is evidence we can learn to change our own story. Lisa Green，another researcher，sounds a few notes of caution (谨慎).For instance，hearing about the power of redemptive (拯救性的) stories，many people may feel forced to find a positive angle on horrible events.She says that Western culture already pushes people to look for the silver lining behind every cloud. If you want to turn over a new leaf，though，one top tip is that it helps to choose a significant date that signals the start of a new “chapter”．Contrary to popular doubt，resolutions made on 1 January are more effective for this reason.So，whether your goal is saving money or getting fit，there is no better time to become the author of our own destiny (命运). 1．What can be inferred about personal stories? A．They are unrelated to health. B．Consistent ones lead to stress. C．They are relevant to happiness. D．Thematic ones hold back change. 2．What can we learn from this passage? A．Talking about gains from failure is negative. B．New Year resolutions are well received. C．The West tends to overvalue optimism. D．Social roles fail to be highlighted. 3．What does the author mainly do in this passage? A．Clarify a goal. B．Analyse an event. C．Make a comparison. D．Illustrate an approach. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．How self-identity works. B．How story-tellers are made. C．How personal stories raise doubts. D．How timing affects personal identity. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了个人故事与自我认同、幸福感之间的关系及如何改变个人故事。 1．C　细节理解题。根据第三段中“People with more consistent stories tend to have a stronger sense of identity，and they feel their life has more meaning，direction and sense of purpose.Such people show greater overall life satisfaction，too.(拥有更一致故事的人往往有更强的身份认同感，他们觉得自己的生活更有意义、更有方向、更有目标感。这样的人总体上对生活的满意度也更高。)”可知，个人故事与幸福感相关。故选C。 2．C　推理判断题。根据第五段中“She says that Western culture already pushes people to look for the silver lining behind every cloud.(她说，西方文化已经促使人们在每一片乌云背后寻找一线希望。)”可推知，西方倾向于过度重视乐观主义。故选C。 3．D　推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“The call to ‘know yourself’ has been there since ancient times，but our sense of self doesn't always match what others perceive.Considering the stories we tell about ourselves can help us to change our minds for better.(‘认识你自己’这一呼吁自古便有，但我们对自己的认知并不总是与他人对我们的看法相吻合。思考我们讲述的关于自己的故事，能帮助我们以更好的方式改变自己的想法。)”和第二段中“Then，in the 1980s，Bob Johnson created the life story model of identity，in which he proposes that，as we go through life，these core features are built in with our memories to create a personal story through which we understand our lives.(然后，在20世纪80年代，鲍勃·约翰逊创造了身份的生活故事模型，他提出，在我们的一生中，这些核心特征与我们的记忆一起构建了一个个人故事，我们通过这个故事来理解我们的生活。)”以及第四段中“Johnson has also investigated the link between well-being and certain story themes.(约翰逊还研究了幸福感与某些故事主题之间的联系。)”可推知，文章主要阐述了个人故事与自我认同、幸福感之间的关系，并举例说明了如何通过改变个人故事来影响自我认同和幸福感，因此作者主要是在阐述一种方法。故选D。 4．A　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The call to ‘know yourself’ has been there since ancient times，but our sense of self doesn't always match what others perceive.Considering the stories we tell about ourselves can help us to change our minds for better.(‘认识你自己’这一呼吁自古便有，但我们对自己的认知并不总是与他人对我们的看法相吻合。思考我们讲述的关于自己的故事，能帮助我们以更好的方式改变自己的想法。)”和第二段中“Then，in the 1980s，Bob Johnson created the life story model of identity，in which he proposes that，as we go through life，these core features are built in with our memories to create a personal story through which we understand our lives.(然后，在20世纪80年代，鲍勃·约翰逊创造了身份的生活故事模型，他提出，在我们的一生中，这些核心特征与我们的记忆一起构建了一个个人故事，我们通过这个故事来理解我们的生活。)”以及第四段中“Johnson has also investigated the link between well-being and certain story themes.(约翰逊还研究了幸福感与某些故事主题之间的联系。)”可推知，全文围绕“个人生活故事如何构建自我认知并影响幸福感”展开，分析了其形成、作用及相关研究。“How self-identity works.(自我认同是如何运作的。)”符合文意。故选A。 B (2025·湖南常德阶段考)On the streets of Sydney，Australia，a young Chinese woman，wearing elegant hanfu，the traditional clothing of China，gracefully holds a dizi，the bamboo flute of China，fascinating passersby with the melodies of traditional Chinese music.The performer is Dong Min，a talented musician born in 1990.

No matter what answer I choose，a small voice whispers in my head: I am not enough to say I am from Peru，Mexico，or the United States.To be from somewhere carries expectations of understanding，accepting，and reforming “your” culture，“your” home. 2 Like dandelion (蒲公英)，dragged by the waves of the wind，broken parts of me are spread across the three countries and in three different times，and further torn apart in many more smaller moments. 3 They are “going home” for school breaks.As students who frequently move may also understand，I have never seen my living space as “home”．So，does this mean I do not have，and will never have a home? Yes or so，I thought.I resigned myself to live with this sense of sadness until very recently. When I was walking through a supermarket，a memorable smell of bread drifted into my nose.Whenever Mom and I would stop by the bakery section of HEB，a Mexican supermarket，she would buy me this cheap sausage bread，the kind where the sausage would fall out of it on the first bite and you're left eating the buttery，salty bread by itself. 4 Sadly，even with this inner feeling，nothing outer has changed.I will always feel a sense of loss in not having a physical home to “go back to”．Yet when a smell catches me off guard with the memories it brings，I am lucky enough to feel like I am “at home” in these brief moments. 5 A．I can never answer without hesitating. B．Instead what better home can I ask for? C．As if the blown dandelion have landed to grow. D．This sometimes leads to uncomfortable feelings. E．But what does it take for something to be “mine”？ F．There are times when I feel envious of my friends. G．A simple smell of bread brings up a simple pleasure. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过自己的个人经历探讨了“家”的概念。作者出生于秘鲁，在墨西哥度过了童年的大部分时间，又深受美国文化的影响。文章通过作者的内心感受和对“家”的思考，展现了跨文化背景下对归属感的追寻。 1．解析　A　根据上下文可知，对于“来自哪里”这个问题，作者难以明确回答，A选项“我总是犹豫着无法回答。”符合语境。故选A。 2．解析　E　根据上文“来自某个地方意味着要理解、接受和改造‘你的’文化、‘你的’家”可知，这里在思考什么才能成为“我的”，E选项“但要让某个东西成为‘我的’需要什么呢？”符合逻辑。故选E。 3．解析　F　根据下文可知，此处是说作者有时会羡慕那些能回家的朋友，F选项“有时我会羡慕我的朋友们。”符合语境。故选F。 4．解析　G　根据上文可知，这里在说面包的味道带来的简单快乐，G选项“面包的简单气味带来了简单的快乐。”符合逻辑。故选G。 5．解析　C　根据上文可知，虽然作者没有真正的一个实体的家可以回，但是香肠面包的气味让作者感觉回到了家，就像飘散的蒲公英落地生根，C选项“就好像被吹走的蒲公英已经落地生长。”符合文意。故选C。 Ⅲ.语法填空 (2025·湖北宜昌期中)The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms.Major Heat (Dashu)，the 12th solar term of the year，begins this year on July 22 and ends on August 6.
