【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要围绕中国建筑师刘家琨获得2025年普利兹克建筑奖展开,介绍了他的建筑生涯、理念、作品特点,以及他人对他获奖的评价和大众对他作品的感受。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Living in Chengdu, the capital of southwestern China’s Sichuan province, Liu’s career spans four decades and over 30 projects.(刘生活在中国西南部四川省的省会成都,他的职业生涯跨越了40年,参与了30多个项目。)”可知,刘的职业生涯长达40年,参与了30多个项目。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“His works are very local, yet modern, directly addressing the challenges facing the transformation of contemporary Chinese cities.(他的作品非常本土化,但又很现代,直接解决了当代中国城市转型面临的挑战。)”和“Wang says both he and Liu pursue contemporary architecture rooted in tradition.(王说他和刘都追求植根于传统的当代建筑。)”可知,他的建筑作品的一个特点是追求以传统为基础的现代性。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Liu’s focus on ordinary people is reflected in his largest project West Village, a five-story urban complex completed in 2015 in Chengdu.(刘对普通人的关注反映在他最大的项目西村上,这是一个五层的城市综合体,于2015年在成都完工。)”可知,西村的例子是用来说明刘关注普通人的需求。故选A。
B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕深海海底的多金属结核展开,阐述了其重要性、相关研究、争议以及开采背景。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers measured the oxygen loss over a 48-hour period while the structure was sealed on the seafloor. (研究人员测量了该结构被密封在海底的48小时内的氧气损失。)”可知,研究人员测量了密封在海底48小时内的氧气损失情况,也就是记录了氧气浓度。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“TMC also said the method was wrong, arguing the team’s findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipper Zone. (TMC还表示,该方法是错误的,认为该团队的发现与在太平洋克拉里昂-克利珀顿区进行的其他工作相矛盾。)”可知,TMC公司认为研究方法错误,研究结果与其他在太平洋克拉里昂-克利珀顿区进行的研究相矛盾,所以他们认为数据中升高的氧气水平是错误的,所以erroneous意为“错误的”,和A选项“Misleading”意思相近。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“For years, companies such as Canada’s TMC have been battling to persuade the international governing authority to green-light their plans to obtain these rocks in the Pacific Ocean’s CCZ. The company has argued that the metals are essential for fossil fuel-free technologies and that the impact mining will have on the ocean floor is not only minimal, but also fades next to the destruction of rain forests and human communities caused by land-based mining. (多年来,像加拿大TMC这样的公司一直在努力说服国际管理机构为他们在太平洋CCZ获取这些岩石的计划开绿灯。该公司辩称,这些金属对无化石燃料技术至关重要,而且采矿对海底的影响不仅微乎其微,而且与陆地采矿对雨林和人类社区造成的破坏相比也微不足道。)” 说明公司的采矿诉求和辩解理由,解释了其质疑研究的根本原因(维护自身采矿利益),属于背景补充,故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“Polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) on the deep-ocean seafloor contain minerals like cobalt and nickel, which mining companies hope to harvest for green-energy batteries and technologies. However, a recent study suggests these prized, potato-sized rocks may also serve as a source of oxygen for the bacteria and other microorganisms living there.(深海海底的多金属结核含有钴和镍等矿物,矿业公司希望将其收获用于绿色能源电池和技术。然而,最近的一项研究表明,这些珍贵的土豆大小的岩石也可能是生活在那里的细菌和其他微生物的氧气来源)”可知,文章主要围绕深海海底的多金属结核展开,先是介绍其含有可用于绿色能源电池和技术的矿物质,受到矿业公司关注,接着一项研究表明这些土豆大小的石头可能是海底细菌和其他微生物的氧气来源,然后不同方面对此有不同看法,最后提到相关公司在开采这些石头方面的行动。所以C选项“A Tiny Stone: a Big Wave (小石头引发大波澜)”概括了文章围绕小小的多金属结核引发各种研究、争议等内容,适合作标题,故选C。
C
8. B 9. B 10. D 11. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍花朵在人类生活中的常见应用,结合罗格斯州立大学研究说明花朵对情绪的积极影响,并从进化角度、心理学层面解读人类偏爱花朵的原因,展现花朵与人类的深层关联。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Flowers have become a common presence on different occasions — they have decorated wedding ceremonies; ruled grand openings of shops and factories; frequented festive celebrations like the New Year; found their way onto desks when people have birthdays. They thread unforgettable moments into the very fabric of human emotions.(花朵已成为不同场合的常见元素——它们装饰着婚礼现场,为商铺与工厂的盛大开业增添喜庆,频繁出现在新年等节日庆典中,还会在人们过生日时被摆上书桌。它们将难忘的瞬间,编织进人类情感的肌理之中。)”可知,作者通过列举——婚礼装饰、商铺工厂开业、新年等节日、生日——等具体场景,说明花朵在不同场合的应用。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The psychologists used lifts because the most typical behavior in lightly occupied spaces is for people to retire to opposite corners. (心理学家选择电梯作为实验场景,是因为在人员较少的空间里,人们最典型的行为是各自退到角落。)”可知,心理学家选择电梯作为实验场景,是因为在人员较少的空间中,人们最典型的行为是退到角落——这是实验者对参与者行为的初始预期。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A popular theory attempts to interpret the powerful psychological effect of flowers. Our preferences for productive locations originate from prehistory, when these clues could mean the difference between starvation and survival. We may have become hardwired to respond positively to flowers because for early humans, finding them in a particular location predicted future food supplies. Yet, the deadly drawback is that flowers which humans find most visually attractive are almost found on plants with no eatable products.(有一种广为流传的理论试图解释花朵强大的心理效应。人类对“有产出潜力的环境”的偏好源于史前时代——在那时,这些环境线索关乎生存与饥饿的抉择。我们或许早已形成“对花朵产生积极反应”的本能:对早期人类而言,在某个地方发现花朵,就意味着未来可能在此获得食物补给。但颇具讽刺的是,一个致命的矛盾点在于:人类视觉上觉得最具吸引力的花朵,几乎都生长在无法提供可食用果实的植物上。)”可知,该理论认为人类对花朵的积极偏好源于史前时期,花朵预示食物补给,但作者随即指出其致命缺陷——人类觉得最具吸引力的花朵,几乎都生长在无食用价值的植物上”。这表明该理论是错误的。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Dr. Eleanor Vance, a botanist from Oxford, explains the selection of flowers, “The most lasting conversations between humans and flowers are written in the geometry of petals and the poetry of color.”(牛津大学植物学家Eleanor Vance博士这样解读人类对花朵的选择:“人类与花朵之间最持久的对话,写在花瓣的几何纹路里,藏在色彩的诗意中。”)”可知,Eleanor Vance博士认为人类与花朵的联结体现在花瓣的几何纹路和色彩的诗意上,而这两者均属于花朵的视觉吸引力。由此可推断,她暗示选择花朵时应优先关注视觉层面的特质。故选B。
D
12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了网络欺凌问题的严重性及其对在线互动的负面影响,指出随着身份操纵和自动化技术的传播,网络欺凌将变得更加复杂和难以防范。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“We are finally acknowledging the gravity of this issue by supporting and developing a variety of initiatives, platforms, and strategies aimed at preventing cyberbullies from causing harm.(我们终于认识到了这个问题的严重性,并开始支持和开发各种计划、平台和策略,以防止网络恶霸造成伤害)”以及第二段中“Unfortunately, our efforts might be insufficient and too late.(不幸的是,我们的努力可能不够,而且为时已晚)”可知,作者认为我们的努力可能不足且为时已晚,由此可推断出作者对我们的应对措施感到失望。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Since cyberbullies seek power, vulnerable (易受攻击的) individuals, especially children, will be the most severely affected. Much of online interaction is based on trust and mutual respect.(由于网络恶霸寻求权力,脆弱的个体,尤其是儿童,将受到最严重的影响。许多在线互动都是基于信任和相互尊重)”以及“Identity manipulation technologies may erode this foundation gradually.(身份操纵技术可能会逐渐……这一基础)”可知,网络欺凌会影响在线互动的信任和相互尊重基础,而身份操纵技术会进一步影响这种信任,由此可推知,此处指身份操纵技术可能会逐渐“破坏”这一基础,故erode意为“破坏”,与A项“Damage”意思相近。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This is due to the spreading of advanced identity manipulation (操纵) and automation technologies that are becoming increasingly accessible.(这是由于先进的身份操纵和自动化技术的传播,这些技术越来越容易获得)”以及第三段中“These advancements are likely to fuel our current struggles with cyberbully.(这些进步可能会加剧我们目前与网络欺凌的斗争)”可知,技术既带来了便利,也加剧了网络欺凌的问题,由此可推断出,技术可能具有两面性,是一把双刃剑。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Despite the convenience brought by the social network, the issue of cyberbully has become so widespread that many individuals now hesitate to engage in online interactions.(尽管社交网络带来了便利,但网络欺凌问题已经变得如此普遍,以至于许多人现在对参与在线互动犹豫不决)”以及第二段中“By the time these “solutions” become widely accessible, cyberbullies will have adopted more complex strategies.(当这些“解决方案”被广泛使用时,网络恶霸将采用更复杂的策略)”可知,文章主要讨论了网络欺凌问题的日益严重性及其对在线互动的负面影响,故D项“网络欺凌日益严重的威胁”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

根据上文“sniffing peppermint helped reduce tiredness while driving. (闻薄荷味有助于减少驾驶时的疲劳)”,此处需解释薄荷味能减少疲劳的原因。G选项“This herbal fragrance works by activating parts of the brain linked to wakefulness (这种草本香气通过激活大脑中与清醒相关的部分发挥作用)”符合语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Exposing yourself to natural sunlight, especially right when you wake up in the morning, can help suppress melatonin, the chemical in your body that makes you sleepy.(让身体接触自然阳光,尤其是早晨醒来时,有助于抑制褪黑素——这种体内化学物质会让你感到困倦)”,此处需说明这一行为带来的进一步影响。E选项“This small change can adapt your body’s rhythm to the day-night cycle (这个小改变能让你的身体节律适应昼夜周期)”符合语境。故选E项。
【19题详解】
分析语篇可知,此处应为本段的小标题,需与其他段落标题(如“Pour some peppermint tea”“Open the blinds”)格式一致(祈使句),且概括本段内容。根据下文“try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly exhaling for four seconds. (尝试用鼻子吸气四秒,屏息四秒,然后慢慢呼气四秒)”可知,本段核心是“深呼吸”。A选项“Take a few deep breaths (做几次深呼吸)”为祈使句,适合作本段小标题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“numerous studies have shown that chewing gum increases alertness. (多项研究表明嚼口香糖能提高警觉性)”,此处需进一步解释嚼口香糖提升警觉性的原因或补充相关细节。F选项“Chewing also keeps your jaw active, preventing boredom-related drowsiness (咀嚼还能让你的下巴保持活跃,防止因无聊产生的困倦)”符合语境。故选F项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了给予善意和接受善意之间的联系。
【21题详解】
根据上文“Yet she rigidly refused all favors, even a glass of water. “I give, but don’t take,” she’d say proudly. (然而她拒绝了所有的帮助,甚至是一杯水。“我予而不取”她自豪地说)”和第二段第一句“Scientific research confirms the mutual joy of giving and receiving.(科学研究证实,给予与接受都能带来愉悦)”可知,如果只给予不接受是不完美的。A项“然而,这种片面的做法存在严重缺陷。”符合题意,指出上文“只给予不索取”的片面之处,引出下文关于给予与接受都能带来愉悦的话题。故选A。
【22题详解】
根据上文“In one experiment, participants performing small acts of kindness—holding doors, feeding parking meters, or gifting snacks — bring forth genuine “Duchenne smiles” (genuinely happy smiles) from the receivers nearly four times more often than unassisted strangers.(在一项实验中,参与者做出开门、帮人付停车费或赠送零食等微小善举时,从受助者那里收获真诚的Duchenne smiles(发自内心的开心笑容)的频率,几乎是未提供帮助的陌生人的四倍)”可知,上文描述了做出善举的人会得到受助者发自内心的微笑。由此推知,空处可能继续描述做出善举的人的其他感受。F项“给予者还报告说,他们的情绪和生活满意度会立即得到提升。”符合语境,also表明上下文的并列关系。故选F。
【23题详解】
根据上文“Logically, then, one way we can raise others’ well-being is by giving them opportunities to be kind and helpful. In a 2022 study, researchers revealed that people hesitate to ask strangers for help, because they assume this will cause inconvenience and annoy the person.(因此,从逻辑上讲,我们提高他人幸福感的一种方式是给他们善良和乐于助人的机会。在2022年的一项研究中,研究人员透露,人们在向陌生人寻求帮助时犹豫不决,因为他们认为这会造成不便并惹恼对方)”可知,逻辑上,给他人提高幸福感的一种方式是给他们帮助别人的机会,但研究表明当人们在给陌生人“机会”时会担心给陌生人造成不便。由此推知,空处可能陈述真正的结果是什么。G项“然而,那些以提供帮助作为回应的人,后来表现出了更强的助人意愿。”符合语境,真正的结果是抓住“机会”帮助别人的人表现出了更强的助人意愿。故选G。
【24题详解】
根据上文“Balance, however, is crucial. Demanding excessive help — like asking to live in someone’s home — ruins goodwill. So does offering cash for favors like moving boxes for you. (然而,把握平衡至关重要。索要过多帮助 —— 比如要求住进别人家里 —— 会毁掉对方的善意;而因别人帮你搬箱子这类小事就主动给钱,同样会如此)”可知,过多的索要帮助或者用金钱回报很小的帮助都会破坏善意。由此可知,善意是建立在真诚而非责任或交易之上。C项“善意源于真诚,而非责任或交易。”符合语境。故选C。
【25题详解】
根据上文“Generosity’s true power lies in this circulation: give freely, receive gratefully, and repeat. (慷慨的真正力量在于这种循环:自由地给予,感激地接受,然后重复)”可知,善意是自然地给予以及感激地接受,然后重复,这是一种畅通的循环。因此B项“唯有当善意畅通无阻地流动时,它才能增进人际关系。”符合语境,是对上文内容的自然延续。故选B。

2025年复读部学科能力比赛
英语(阅读理解)试题
A
Architect Liu Jiakun was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on Tuesday, making him the second winner from China to earn the highest honor in the field of architecture after Wang Shu in 2012.
Living in Chengdu, the capital of southwestern China’s Sichuan province, Liu’s career spans four decades and over 30 projects. He established Jiakun architects in 1999 and is devoted to creating an expansive collection of works ranging from small, beautiful museums and monuments and vast commercial buildings to master plans for cities. “The purpose of architecture is to create a beautiful, just and dignified living environment. People’s real lives, happiness and dignity are what we strive for,” says Liu.
The prize’s jury statement says that “intertwining (交织) seemingly opposing things such as idealism versus everyday existence, history versus modernity, and collectivism versus individuality, Liu offers affirming architecture that celebrates the lives of ordinary citizens”.
Wang, the 2012 Pritzker recipient, tells China Daily that Liu’s winning is encouraging: “His works are very local, yet modern, directly addressing the challenges facing the transformation of contemporary Chinese cities.” Wang says both he and Liu pursue contemporary architecture rooted in tradition. Many architects around the world attempt to do the same, yet their style has never become mainstream. “I believe Liu’s winning holds great significance and will resonate with those architects,” he adds.
Liu’s focus on ordinary people is reflected in his largest project West Village, a five-story urban complex completed in 2015 in Chengdu. The complex includes a football field, paths for cyclists and pedestrians, and a market. The block has become a popular public space and a destination for the city’s residents to spend leisure time.
Hearing the news that Liu won the Pritzker Prize, many netizens who have visited the West Village and the museums he designed expressed that his architecture reflects a precious sense of relaxation, much like the vibrant city of Chengdu itself, which is known for its giant pandas, hotpot and leisurely pace.
1. What do we know about Liu Jiakun?
A. He is the first Chinese winner of the Pritzker Prize.
B. His career spans 40 years with over 30 projects.
C. He founded Jiakun architects in 2012 in Chengdu.
D. His works only include museums and monuments.
2. What is a feature of Liu Jiakun’s architectural works?
A. Pursuit of tradition-based modernity. B. Concentration on outline.
C. Integration with surroundings. D. Combination with foreign styles.
3. The example of West Village is used to illustrate that ________.
A. Liu Jiakun pays attention to the needs of ordinary people
B. Liu Jiakun’s projects are all large-scale urban complexes
C. public spaces in Chengdu are not popular among residents
D. football fields are unnecessary in urban complex design
B
Polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) on the deep-ocean seafloor contain minerals like cobalt and nickel, which mining companies hope to harvest for green-energy batteries and technologies. However, a recent study suggests these prized, potato-sized rocks may also serve as a source of oxygen for the bacteria and other microorganisms living there.
Jeffrey Marlow, one of the authors of the study, said researchers planted some watertight structures on the ocean floor, which he described as overturned boxes equipped with instruments designed to measure the property and composition of living things and their probable usage of oxygen. Researchers measured the oxygen loss over a 48-hour period while the structure was sealed on the seafloor. Typically, a decline in oxygen is an indicator for biological abundance because breathing organisms consume it. Yet, contrary to all expectations, they observed a rise in oxygen levels, a finding that directly challenged conventional understanding.
But not everyone is on the same wavelength as him. Canada’s The Metals Co. stated the study had been rejected by four scientific publications until finding a home at Nature, which the company labeled as “a journal that has long championed the preservation of deep-sea mineral.” TMC also said the method was wrong, arguing the team’s findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipper Zone. “The heightened oxygen levels are in fact erroneous in the data, and we are currently preparing a peer-reviewed paper as a fightback,” said the company.
Bo Barker, a microbiologist at Denmark’s Aarhus University, said the study invited more questions than it did answers. He described it as a “novel but very confusing process for which the mechanism is still not clear.”
For years, companies such as Canada’s TMC have been battling to persuade the international governing authority to green-light their plans to obtain these rocks in the Pacific Ocean’s CCZ. The company has argued that the metals are essential for fossil fuel-free technologies and that the impact mining will have on the ocean floor is not only minimal, but also fades next to the destruction of rain forests and human communities caused by land-based mining.
4. What can be inferred about the recent study?
A. It cast light on new organisms. B. It capitalized on costly equipment.
C. It consumed considerable time. D. It documented oxygen concentration.
5. What does the underlined word “erroneous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Misleading. B. Pronounced.
C. Precise. D. Imaginary.
6. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Summarize the previous paragraphs. B. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
C. Add some background information. D. Clarify some writing techniques.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Minerals a Mixed Blessing B. TMC, an Eco- minded Enterprise
C. A Tiny Stone: a Big Wave D. Oxygen: the Lifeline for CCZ
C
Flowers have become a common presence on different occasions — they have decorated wedding ceremonies; ruled grand openings of shops and factories; frequented festive celebrations like the New Year; found their way onto desks when people have birthdays. They thread unforgettable moments into the very fabric of human emotions.
A recent study at the Rutgers State University found that flowers were a great mood booster. In the study, flowers were randomly given to some participants inside a lift. Those presented with flowers were more likely to smile, stand closer and initiate conversations. The psychologists used lifts because the most typical behavior in lightly occupied spaces is for people to retire to opposite corners. The subjects who received flowers, however, closed up that space to a substantial extent.
A popular theory attempts to interpret the powerful psychological effect of flowers. Our preferences for productive locations originate from prehistory, when these clues could mean the difference between starvation and survival. We may have become hardwired to respond positively to flowers because for early humans, finding them in a particular location predicted future food supplies. Yet, the deadly drawback is that flowers which humans find most visually attractive are almost found on plants with no eatable products.
The psychologists’ finding shows that we have evolved preferences for patterned symmetries(对称)and particular colors. The patterned symmetries of flowers can be detected easily as a recognizable signal within various visuals, and a response to certain shades matters in finding ripe fruit against a leafy background. But these preferences have long been separated from their primary use and become rewarding to us more generally. Thus, plants with preferred colors and shapes, despite having no other products, would therefore be protected and spread.
Blooms with striking symmetrical patterns and lively colors correspond with our internal desire, offering visual satisfaction. This conscious selection connects us to an ancient dialogue with nature, where beauty becomes a silent dialogue. Dr. Eleanor Vance, a botanist from Oxford, explains the selection of flowers, “The most lasting conversations between humans and flowers are written in the geometry of petals and the poetry of color.”
8. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By providing statistics. B. By giving some examples.
C. By defining a concept. D. By quoting an expert.
9. What is the initial expectation of the flower-givers?
A. Subjects’ flat refusal. B. Testees’ withdrawal to corners.
C. Receivers’ asking questions. D. Participants’ leaving the lift.
10. What is the author’s evaluation of the theory mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. A logically sound argument. B. A comprehensively proven idea.
C. A partially applicable concept. D. A fundamentally wrong view.
11. What is Eleanor’s suggestion for choosing flowers?
A. Pay attention to rarity. B. Prioritize visual appeal.
C. Consider practical uses. D. Seek pocket-friendly options.
D
Despite the convenience brought by the social network, the issue of cyberbully has become so widespread that many individuals now hesitate to engage in online interactions. By next year, a significant portion of online communication will involve some form of harassment (骚扰). We are finally acknowledging the gravity of this issue by supporting and developing a variety of initiatives, platforms, and strategies aimed at preventing cyberbullies from causing harm.
Unfortunately, our efforts might be insufficient and too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely accessible, cyberbullies will have adopted more complex strategies. In the near future, it won’t just be the messages you see on your screen that will be questionable. Soon you will also doubt the authenticity of the profiles you encounter. This is due to the spreading of advanced identity manipulation (操纵) and automation technologies that are becoming increasingly accessible.
These advancements are likely to fuel our current struggles with cyberbully. The reason cyberbully is so harmful is not just its frequency but also its personal nature. A decade of social media use has resulted in a situation where cyberbullies can easily access personal details and use them harmfully. Armed with this information, they can carry out targeted campaigns to harassment individuals. For instance, a cyberbully could create a fake profile that appears to be a friend and send messages that seem supportive, tricking victims into revealing personal information or engaging in harmful behavior. Since cyberbullies seek power, vulnerable (易受攻击的) individuals, especially children, will be the most severely affected. Much of online interaction is based on trust and mutual respect. Identity manipulation technologies may erode this foundation gradually.
We need to address the vulnerability of our online communities. Social media platforms and users must cooperate to establish methods for confirming and communicating authenticity. This could involve developing a standardized system to authenticate user profiles, indicating their reliability and origins, or transitioning away from text-based communication and towards video-based interactions—using platforms that can be linked to confirmed identities.
Trust is hard to build but easy to destroy and the challenge of maintaining a safe online environment is only going to intensify.
12. What’s the author’s attitude towards our response to cyberbully?
A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
13. What does the underlined word “erode” probably mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Damage. B. Strengthen. C. Preserve. D. Restore.
14. What can we infer from the text?
A. Honesty is the best policy. B. Technologies can be double-edged.
C. There are more solutions than problems. D. Face to face communication is key to trust.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. The Unknown Power behind Cyberbully B. How Cyberbully Is Affecting Technology
C. Where the Problem of Cyberbully Is Rooted D. The Increasingly Severe Threat of Cyberbully

How to Boost Your Energy Naturally
Feeling tired and sluggish (反应慢的) during the day is a common experience for many people. While reaching for another cup of coffee might be the automatic response, there are several effective, natural ways to increase your alertness and energy levels. ____16____
Pour some peppermint tea
According to a study published in the North American Journal of Psychology, sniffing peppermint helped reduce tiredness while driving. ____17____. Researchers have also found that those who drink peppermint tea are more alert and complete mental tasks faster.
Open the blinds
Exposing yourself to natural sunlight, especially right when you wake up in the morning, can help suppress melatonin, the chemical in your body that makes you sleepy. ____18____
____19____
When you’re stressed, it’s natural to breathe a little bit shallower, which can decrease the amount of oxygen that reaches cells. To fight against that, try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly exhaling for four seconds.
Chew a piece of sugar-free gum
It’s not exactly clear why, but numerous studies have shown that chewing gum increases alertness. ____20____ Even before science confirmed it, during World WarⅠ, American soldiers were issued gum to help them focus.
The next time you feel your energy falling, try one of these simple techniques. They can provide a healthy and effective boost to help you power through your day without relying solely on caffeine.
A. Take a few deep breaths
B. Get some fresh air to clear your mind
C. Here are some scientifically-backed methods to try
D. Adding a spoonful of honey to the tea can make it more enjoyable
E This small change can adapt your body’s rhythm to the day-night cycle
F. Chewing also keeps your jaw active, preventing boredom-related drowsiness
G. This herbal fragrance works by activating parts of the brain linked to wakefulness
F
Generosity is like the circulation of blood — healthiest and vibrant when flowing in both directions. In my youth, I knew an elderly relative whose kindness seemed boundless: she arrived with thoughtful gifts, cooked favorite meals, and sat by sickbeds with chicken soup. Yet she rigidly refused all favors, even a glass of water. “I give, but don’t take,” she’d say proudly. ____21____
Scientific research confirms the mutual joy of giving and receiving. In one experiment, participants performing small acts of kindness—holding doors, feeding parking meters, or gifting snacks — bring forth genuine “Duchenne smiles” (genuinely happy smiles) from the receivers nearly four times more often than unassisted strangers. ____22____ Similarly, a 2004 study further showed students assigned five weekly acts of kindness maintained higher happiness levels than those who did not engage.
Logically, then, one way we can raise others’ well-being is by giving them opportunities to be kind and helpful. In a 2022 study, researchers revealed that people hesitate to ask strangers for help, because they assume this will cause inconvenience and annoy the person. ____23____ They saw it as less trouble, and enjoyed more mood enhancement.
Balance, however, is crucial. Demanding excessive help — like asking to live in someone’s home — ruins goodwill. So does offering cash for favors like moving boxes for you. ____24____
To cultivate generosity, start by accepting small offers: a coffee, a helping hand. Then respond. When I once bought a homeless man food, I asked, “Will you pray for my family?” His shock melted into eagerness. This exchange honored his dignity, proving everyone has something to give — whether advice, prayers, or gratitude.
Generosity’s true power lies in this circulation: give freely, receive gratefully, and repeat. ____25____
A. This one-sided approach, however, is deeply flawed(有缺陷的).
B. It promotes relationships only when flowing unblocked.
C. Kindness grows on sincerity, not responsibilities or deals.
D. The circulation of kindness benefits both givers and receivers.
E. An unwillingness to accept kindnesses is a form of selfishness.
F. Givers also reported immediate boosts in mood and life satisfaction.
G. However, people who responded by helping proved more willing to assist.
