Hey, clara, would you like to go to the cafe with me? Afterworld again, why do you like cafe so much? Just like my french clients, you've invited me four times this month, and it's just the middle of the month. Do you think that cafes are great places to chat with friends? You can easily get to know others and get a chance to relax from heavy work by sitting there and ordering a cup of coffee? If my impression of paris is deepened, you must be the reason. Come on, it's just my favorite way to socialize. Then. what's your favorite socializing method? Well, in iceland, our daily activities include hitting a local outdoor swimming pool, which provides me with a good chance to socialize. But there aren't many public pools here. Why don't we try going to a public like the british, just as the old saying goes, when in rome, due as the romans do? Sounds reasonable. All right, i'll pick you up when you get off work.

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Cuckoos (杜鹃) are a familiar and beloved species in the UK, whose arrival marks the beginning of summer. They make a long journey from their wintering grounds in Africa to raise its young on the British Isles. However, the cuckoo population in the UK is falling sharply. Since 1995, the number of breeding cuckoos has dropped by 35%. To understand why this is happening, researchers at the British Trust for ornithology (鸟类学) are now using high-tech equipment to find answers.
Researchers have been attaching satellite tags (标签) to cuckoos, which send out real-time location data. This data reveals how long cuckoos spend in the UK, when they leave, and which migration (迁徙) routes they take between the UK and Africa.
The hope is that this data will give scientists a detailed understanding of cuckoo migration, the threats they face along the way, and the conservation measures that could be adopted to improve their chances of survival.
The tags have already revealed many insights into cuckoo migration. It’s hoped that as data keeps coming in, scientists will better understand the factors that influence whether cuckoos survive their migration, and therefore the best ways to help protect the species.
It’s not just the scientists who have been eagerly tracking the tagged birds, though. The tags provide live location data which is published on an online map. Members of the public can therefore watch the cuckoos’ incredible journeys, too, and if you click on the individuals on the map, you can find out more about each bird.
“This ongoing project opens a significant window on the wonders of migration, and our discoveries are helping to shape the way we look at bird migration more widely,” says lead scientist on the project, Dr. Chris Hewson. “It will also lay a foundation (基础) from which cuckoo conservation measures can be planned, increasing the likelihood that the call of these birds will grace our summers for generations to come.”
21. What is the purpose of the British Trust for ornithology’s research?
A. To find out why there are fewer and fewer cuckoos.
B To find out what happened to cuckoos’ habitat.
C. To test out how to make an online map for Africa.
D. To test out how high-tech equipment can be used in the research.
22. How can the public be involved in the cuckoo tracking project according to the passage?
A. By contributing funds to the research.
B. By following the live location data online.
C. By observing the birds in their natural habitat.
D. By participating in bird watching tours.
23. Which statement may Dr. Chris Hewson agree with about the project?
A. It inspires the public’s passion for technology.
B. It shows the exact population of cuckoos in the UK.
C. It lays a foundation for the species’ conservation.
D. It will help cuckoos choose a safer migration route.
24. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Cuckoos’ Migration Routes B. Conservation Measures for Birds
C. Decline of New Species in the UK D. Tracking Cuckoos’ Journeys
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 24. D
【解析】

B
There are between 6 and 8 basic human emotions, or so most theories suggest. Psychologist Paul Ekman lists joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise, while psychologist Robert Plutchik adds trust and anticipation to the mix. These basic emotions can be combined in multiple ways – for example, fear plus joy, the combination of two contrasting emotions, creates excitement. Consider the feeling of waiting in line for a roller coaster ride: your heart races with both fear and joy.
Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber.
In 1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while fear and surprise together can create awe.
Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states. Just as an artist carefully brings together different shades when creating an artwork, our lives, too, are shaped by emotional combinations. By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, acceptance, and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life.
Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception. But they also reveal what matters to us most. […] The basic emotions — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness — are universal, recognisable across cultures and even species. They are short-lasting but powerful, automatic responses that help us deal with our social world. But we also develop complex emotions that mix these basic ones. And importantly, we can learn to recognise the micro-expressions and tiny hints on people’s faces to understand their emotional states. This is not just useful — it carries moral significance. Being emotionally literate increases our capacity for understanding, and peaceful coexistence. Emotional awareness, then, is not only about control but about connection.
— Paul Ekman, Emotions Revealed
25. Why does the writer mention colour theory?
A. To explain how artists use emotion in their work.
B. To illustrate the principle behind the Wheel of Emotions.
C. To show that colours can express feelings better than words.
D. To compare artistic and scientific ways of understanding emotions.
26. Which statement is most probably true according to Plutchik’s theory of emotions?
A. Love is one of the most important emotions.
B. Opposite emotions can hardly happen together.
C. Acceptance can be a mixture of basic emotions.
D. Primary emotions occur at a fixed level of intensity.
27. How does the writer comment on Plutchik’s theory of emotions?
A. It fails to connect emotions with real-life experiences.
B. It downplays emotional complexity but conveys a key idea.
C. It provides a detailed and scientific explanation of emotions.
D. It focuses more on artistic imagery than on emotional reality.
28. What does Paul Ekman mean by “Emotions can hijack our minds”?
A. Emotions are created by external events.
B. Emotions are separate from our thoughts.
C. Emotions can momentarily take control of us.
D. Emotions can be controlled through logical thinking.
【答案】25. B 26. C 27. B 28. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕人类基本情绪的分类、组合及强度,结合理论与类比,强调情绪认知的意义。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber.(情绪的混合或对比很像艺术中的色彩。红、黄、蓝等原色混合后会形成橙、绿、紫等新色调;这些色调进一步混合,会产生红橙、黄橙等中间色,它们通常有更生动的名称,如猩红或琥珀色。)”、第三段中“1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while fear and surprise together can create awe.(1962 年,受色轮启发,Plutchik甚至将他提出的八种基本情绪排列成一个轮盘,将对立情绪置于彼此对面(喜悦对应悲伤,惊讶对应期待)。每种基本情绪都有三个强度级别。例如,喜悦的强度范围从低强度的平静,到中等强度的喜悦,最终到高强度的狂喜;愤怒同理,可从轻微的烦躁,到中等程度的愤怒,再到完全爆发的暴怒 —— 这相当于情绪中的消防车红色。基本情绪之间的 “空白区域” 由两种情绪的混合体填补:喜悦与信任结合产生爱(很像红色与黄色混合成橙色),而恐惧与惊讶结合则会产生敬畏。)”可知,作者提到色彩理论是为了说明情绪轮背后的原理。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity.(每种基本情绪都有三个强度级别。)”第四段中“By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, acceptance, and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life.(通过有意识地增加更多积极的情绪,比如宁静、接受和兴趣,我们不仅能增强快乐、乐观和爱的能力,还能减轻我们在生活中经历的不太有利的情绪的强度。)”可知,接纳属于积极情绪,而基本情绪可组合并形成不同强度的复杂情绪,因此接纳可能是基本情绪的混合体。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states.(虽然Plutchik的“情绪轮”可能有些简单,但它强调了情绪是沿着一个光谱存在的,强度不同,而且经常以复杂的组合出现,而不是孤立的状态。)”可知,作者认为该理论虽简化了情绪的复杂性,但传达了核心观点,即情绪存在于一个光谱中,强度不同,且常常以复杂的组合形式出现。故选B。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception. But they also reveal what matters to us most.(Emotions can hijack our minds.它们让我们为行动做好准备,并且与我们的感知紧密相连。但它们也揭示了什么对我们最重要。)”可知,Paul Ekman说的“Emotions can hijack our minds”意思是情绪可以暂时控制我们,影响我们的行动和感知。故选C。
C

It’s the middle of winter, and the prospect of warm sunny days is a long way off. For some of us, it’s the most depressing time of year, when daylight is limited and the weather is often miserable. It is when the winter blues set in. So what can be done to lift our spirits?
The shorter days and longer nights can make us feel down, which can cause us to eat more and exercise less. Some fear loneliness and isolation. Those people who suffer this seasonal mood swing more seriously are described as having the seasonal affective disorder — or SAD for short. It’s a type of depression with a seasonal pattern caused by a shortage of light and is thought to affect the part of the brain that rules sleep, appetite, moods and activity levels.
Jenny Scott-Thompson diagnosed (诊断) with the SAD struggled with periods of tiredness and unhappiness. She was recommended for light therapy (疗法), which involved sitting in front of a light box as well as going outside during daylight hours. This is believed to help anyone who is affected by winter depression.
Although having more light is an obvious cure, antidepressants can help those with more severe depression by artificially raising the amount of serotonin (血清素) in the brain. But this isn’t suitable for everyone, and many of us can try to just change our mindset. Clinical psychologist Laura Keyes says, “It can be helpful to think about how to adapt your eating and exercise patterns to the change of seasons.”
It might sound easier said than done, but accepting winter and thinking positively may energize us. Writing for a social website, Esther De La Ford asks, “What if we explore what this phase of winter has to offer us, instead of being upset about those things that it is taking away?” She suggests we use this time for rest, reflection and slowing down.
32. What is the major cause of winter depression?
A. Eating more. B. Lack of light. C. Less exercise. D. Feeling lonely.
33. According to Paragraph 4, in what way do antidepressants help patients with more severe depression?
A By increasing the amount of light. B. By changing people’s mindset.
C. By artificially raising brain serotonin levels. D. By advising rest and reflection.
34. How does the author develop his idea in paragraph 5?
A. By describing details. B. By providing evidence.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an example.
35. What's this passage mainly about?
A. The types of the SAD. B. The importance of taking action.
C. The causes of winter depression. D. The way to stay cheerful in winter.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. D

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In my backpack, there is always a waterproof paper map. ____36____ Instead, it is my main tool for navigating (导航).
I have tried digital devices and set precise points on my GPS watch. But every time I use it, I feel a strange distance. ____37____ It reduces the land into simple lines and dots, while the real wilderness is full of details and textures (肌理). Unfolding a paper map feels more engaging. I trace the lines with my fingers and match the symbols to the rivers I see in the distance. I am not being guided passively. I am actively building my own understanding of the land.
____38____ A screen tells you: “You are here and follow this line.” But a map asks you: “Where are you? What surrounds you? How will you move through this place?” When I stare at a blinking dot on a screen, I seem to forget the sunlight, the wind, and the sounds of the forest. But with a paper map, I watch, think, and most importantly, engage fully with the environment.
A paper map turns every step into a conversation with nature. ____39____ I remember once getting lost on a mountain path. I stopped, spread out my map, and tried to match what I saw around me with the details on the map. Slowly, the landmarks began to line up, and the landscape started to make sense again.
Of course, I value safety. My GPS watch is always with me. I reserve it for emergency, but the paper map gives me something more: the memory of finding my way. ____40____.
So next time you go into the wild, bring a paper map. Let your eyes, hands, and mind explore, get lost, and discover the land on your own terms.
A. It is not just a silent backup.
B. It is like reading an over-simplified world.
C. They never run out of battery, which is a relief.
D. Even losing my way enhances this connection.
E. I sometimes wonder what it really means to navigate.
F. I learn to trust my own judgement rather than the map.
G. And I will always appreciate the patience and self-trust it builds.
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. E 39. D 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍作者在野外出行时偏爱使用纸质地图导航,对比了其与电子导航的差异,强调纸质地图带来的沉浸式体验与自我成长。
【36题详解】
根据上文“In my backpack, there is always a waterproof paper map. (我的背包里总有一张防水纸质地图。)”以及下文“Instead, it is my main tool for navigating (导航). (相反,它是我导航的主要工具。)”可知,此空应否定纸质地图的次要属性,A选项“It is not just a silent backup. (它不仅仅是一个无声的备用工具。)”中的“not just”与下文“instead”形成逻辑呼应,既否定了“备用”的次要定位,又引出“主要导航工具”的核心功能,符合语境。故选A项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“But every time I use it, I feel a strange distance. (但每次使用它时,我都感到一种奇怪的距离感。)”以及下文“It reduces the land into simple lines and dots, while the real wilderness is full of details and textures (肌理). (它将土地简化为简单的线条和点,而真正的荒野充满了细节和肌理。)”可知,此空应具体解释电子导航带来距离感的原因,B选项“It is like reading an over-simplified world. (这就像阅读一个过度简化的世界。)”中的“over-simplified”与下文“reduces the land into simple lines and dots”表意一致,准确衔接了电子导航的特点与带来的距离感,符合语境。故选B项。
【38题详解】
根据下文“A screen tells you: “You are here and follow this line.” But a map asks you: “Where are you? What surrounds you? How will you move through this place?” (屏幕会告诉你:“你在这里,沿着这条线走。”但地图会问你:“你在哪里?你周围有什么?你将如何穿越这个地方?”)”可知,此空应引发对“导航本质”的思考,E选项“I sometimes wonder what it really means to navigate. (我有时会想,导航的真正意义是什么?)”以设问方式引出下文对电子导航与纸质地图导航逻辑的对比,符合语境。故选E项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“A paper map turns every step into a conversation with nature. (纸质地图让每一步都成为与自然的对话。)”以及下文“I remember once getting lost on a mountain path. I stopped, spread out my map, and tried to match what I saw around me with the details on the map. (我记得有一次在山路上迷路了。我停下来,摊开地图,试图将周围看到的景象与地图上的细节对应起来。)”可知,此空应衔接“与自然对话”和“迷路”的体验,D选项“Even losing my way enhances this connection. (即使迷路也会加强这种联系。)”中的“this connection”指代上文“与自然的对话”,且下文“迷路后借助地图找路”的例子正是对“增强联系”的具体印证,符合语境。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“I reserve it for emergency, but the paper map gives me something more: the memory of finding my way. (我把它留作应急,但纸质地图给了我更多东西:找到路记忆。)”可知,此空应进一步说明纸质地图带来的额外收获,G选项“And I will always appreciate the patience and self-trust it builds. (而且我会一直感激它所培养的耐心和自信。)”中的“it”指代纸质地图,“patience and self-trust”是对上文“something more”的具体阐释,承接了纸质地图的深层价值,符合语境。故选G项。

At the end of a busy month, a friend told me about her endless schedule. She had been rushing from one meeting to another, always putting on her best face. By the end, she was completely ___41___. “I want to hug my family,” she said, “have a good cry, and then everything will feel better.”
And she was right. Crying can act like a ___42___ button. Music, in particular, helps us let out feelings we normally hold back. A single sad pop song can push us into ___43___ when life feels too heavy. I even keep a playlist ready for those moments when I feel stressed out.
In real life, I have a very low ___44___ for crying. Tears in the office, for example, feel awkward and out of place. My own crying is private, quick, and ideally exercised in contexts that do not affect me ___45___ — perhaps a moving documentary, or a film where an old man dies alone.
No one has ever really solved the mystery of why humans cry, nor the ___46___ of tears. Charles Darwin considered emotional tears “purposeless”, and there remains little agreement on their meaning even now. In the 1980s, William H. Frey suggested that crying helps remove toxins (毒素) built up from stress. It’s a(n) ___47___ idea, but it never gained strong scientific support. Another psychologist, Ad Vingerhoets, has said that crying often ___48___ helplessness, hopelessness, or separation from loved ones. Death, divorce, or homesickness are among the most common causes. Yet even his studies show ___49___ results: only about half the people surveyed felt better after crying. Much depends on how others react to our tears.
For me, ___50___, crying is not something to be shared. Perhaps I am marked by that keep-it-in culture that still sees crying as something that should be ___51___. My grandmother lived through enormous loss, but I never once saw her cry. Perhaps she, too, had her own secret way of releasing ___52___ — maybe with music, alone in a darkened room.
And perhaps this explains why so many people find themselves ___53___ on long flights. At 30,000 feet, surrounded by strangers, normal rules seem to ___54___. You can cry through a sad film without embarrassment. In no way are these moments social, nor do we seek observers to justify our tears. But, man, it feels ___55___ to cry.
41. A. relaxed B. exhausted C. embarrassed D. motivated
42. A. record B. panic C. reset D. play
43. A. action B. conflicts C. reflection D. tears
44. A. requirement B. tolerance C. competence D. concern

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I always had a tough time in school. My father had put it best: “Some kids are good in school, and some aren’t. You’re just one of the kids who isn’t.” But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
Ever since the first day of school, it had been drilled into my brain that I must strive for academic success. Our principal talked to us many times about striving for greatness. Pictures of past scholars and professors decorated at least one wall in almost every classroom.
When I was a small child, I was tested, and they found that I had several learning disabilities. I had to review constantly to keep the information in my brain, and I was always two to three years behind my grade level in math.
In high school, without special education, I had to find new ways to help myself do better in school. One night, I was working with my tutor. I just wasn’t getting it, and it had been going on like that for a few weeks. My tutor had finally had it, and started yelling at me in front of the entire crowd of kids (each with their own private tutor). “How dumb can you be? We’ve been reviewing the same four math steps for three weeks now. If you don’t start shaping up soon, you’ll end up being a failure.”
That was the first time someone had said “you’re a failure” right to my face. Until then, my failure had been my private despair. I stormed out of the room and hid in a dark corner right outside the school. I stayed there for a half hour, crying and asking myself if the pain and disappointment would ever end.
I left that school shortly afterwards, hoping to find a place where I could get away from the pain and find the greatness buried deep within me. And I did.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
My new school lets me see myself in a better light and recognize my growth. The academics aren’t as intense as my previous school and I’ve opened up to others, no longer scared of what they’ll think of me. I have built new bonds — not based on academic skill but on true friendship. I can look in the mirror and see, not what I should be, but what I am. I realized that I had been looking at it all the wrong way — evaluating myself on my abilities, not on my potential to grow into a wonderful person. I had been so wrapped up in the academic side of things that I forgot to look at the person underneath.
People greet me cheerfully each morning because they see my character. When I finally shifted my focus from what I lacked to who I am — someone who tries his hardest and cares deeply — everything changed. This inner shift was like a signal; by recognizing my own worth, I began to carry myself with a quiet confidence that others could sense. They see a person who knows his own value, not because of achievements, but because of his character and effort. In learning to value myself, I taught others how to see me. This year has not just changed my environment; it has rebuilt my very foundation, breathing new life into me.

A
Cuckoos (杜鹃) are a familiar and beloved species in the UK, whose arrival marks the beginning of summer. They make a long journey from their wintering grounds in Africa to raise its young on the British Isles. However, the cuckoo population in the UK is falling sharply. Since 1995, the number of breeding cuckoos has dropped by 35%. To understand why this is happening, researchers at the British Trust for ornithology (鸟类学) are now using high-tech equipment to find answers.
Researchers have been attaching satellite tags (标签) to cuckoos, which send out real-time location data. This data reveals how long cuckoos spend in the UK, when they leave, and which migration (迁徙) routes they take between the UK and Africa.
The hope is that this data will give scientists a detailed understanding of cuckoo migration, the threats they face along the way, and the conservation measures that could be adopted to improve their chances of survival.
The tags have already revealed many insights into cuckoo migration. It’s hoped that as data keeps coming in, scientists will better understand the factors that influence whether cuckoos survive their migration, and therefore the best ways to help protect the species.
It’s not just the scientists who have been eagerly tracking the tagged birds, though. The tags provide live location data which is published on an online map. Members of the public can therefore watch the cuckoos’ incredible journeys, too, and if you click on the individuals on the map, you can find out more about each bird.
“This ongoing project opens a significant window on the wonders of migration, and our discoveries are helping to shape the way we look at bird migration more widely,” says lead scientist on the project, Dr. Chris Hewson. “It will also lay a foundation (基础) from which cuckoo conservation measures can be planned, increasing the likelihood that the call of these birds will grace our summers for generations to come.”
21 What is the purpose of the British Trust for ornithology’s research?
A. To find out why there are fewer and fewer cuckoos.
B. To find out what happened to cuckoos’ habitat.
C. To test out how to make an online map for Africa.
D. To test out how high-tech equipment can be used in the research.
22. How can the public be involved in the cuckoo tracking project according to the passage?
A. By contributing funds to the research.
B. By following the live location data online.
C. By observing the birds in their natural habitat.
D. By participating in bird watching tours.
23. Which statement may Dr. Chris Hewson agree with about the project?
A. It inspires the public’s passion for technology.
B. It shows the exact population of cuckoos in the UK.
C. It lays a foundation for the species’ conservation.
D. It will help cuckoos choose a safer migration route.
24. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Cuckoos’ Migration Routes B. Conservation Measures for Birds
C. Decline of New Species in the UK D. Tracking Cuckoos’ Journeys
B
There are between 6 and 8 basic human emotions, or so most theories suggest. Psychologist Paul Ekman lists joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise, while psychologist Robert Plutchik adds trust and anticipation to the mix. These basic emotions can be combined in multiple ways – for example, fear plus joy, the combination of two contrasting emotions, creates excitement. Consider the feeling of waiting in line for a roller coaster ride: your heart races with both fear and joy.
Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber.
In 1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while fear and surprise together can create awe.
Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states. Just as an artist carefully brings together different shades when creating an artwork, our lives, too, are shaped by emotional combinations. By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, acceptance, and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life.
Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception. But they also reveal what matters to us most. […] The basic emotions — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness — are universal, recognisable across cultures and even species. They are short-lasting but powerful, automatic responses that help us deal with our social world. But we also develop complex emotions that mix these basic ones. And importantly, we can learn to recognise the micro-expressions and tiny hints on people’s faces to understand their emotional states. This is not just useful — it carries moral significance. Being emotionally literate increases our capacity for understanding, and peaceful coexistence. Emotional awareness, then, is not only about control but about connection.
— Paul Ekman, Emotions Revealed
25. Why does the writer mention colour theory?
A. To explain how artists use emotion in their work.
B. To illustrate the principle behind the Wheel of Emotions.
C. To show that colours can express feelings better than words.
D. To compare artistic and scientific ways of understanding emotions.
26. Which statement is most probably true according to Plutchik’s theory of emotions?
A. Love is one of the most important emotions.
B. Opposite emotions can hardly happen together.
C. Acceptance can be a mixture of basic emotions.
D. Primary emotions occur at a fixed level of intensity.
27. How does the writer comment on Plutchik’s theory of emotions?
A. It fails to connect emotions with real-life experiences.
B. It downplays emotional complexity but conveys a key idea.
C. It provides a detailed and scientific explanation of emotions.
D. It focuses more on artistic imagery than on emotional reality.
28. What does Paul Ekman mean by “Emotions can hijack our minds”?
A. Emotions are created by external events.
B. Emotions are separate from our thoughts.
C. Emotions can momentarily take control of us.
D. Emotions can be controlled through logical thinking.

It’s the middle of winter, and the prospect of warm sunny days is a long way off. For some of us, it’s the most depressing time of year, when daylight is limited and the weather is often miserable. It is when the winter blues set in. So what can be done to lift our spirits?
The shorter days and longer nights can make us feel down, which can cause us to eat more and exercise less. Some fear loneliness and isolation. Those people who suffer this seasonal mood swing more seriously are described as having the seasonal affective disorder — or SAD for short. It’s a type of depression with a seasonal pattern caused by a shortage of light and is thought to affect the part of the brain that rules sleep, appetite, moods and activity levels.
Jenny Scott-Thompson diagnosed (诊断) with the SAD struggled with periods of tiredness and unhappiness. She was recommended for light therapy (疗法), which involved sitting in front of a light box as well as going outside during daylight hours. This is believed to help anyone who is affected by winter depression.
Although having more light is an obvious cure, antidepressants can help those with more severe depression by artificially raising the amount of serotonin (血清素) in the brain. But this isn’t suitable for everyone, and many of us can try to just change our mindset. Clinical psychologist Laura Keyes says, “It can be helpful to think about how to adapt your eating and exercise patterns to the change of seasons.”
It might sound easier said than done, but accepting winter and thinking positively may energize us. Writing for a social website, Esther De La Ford asks, “What if we explore what this phase of winter has to offer us, instead of being upset about those things that it is taking away?” She suggests we use this time for rest, reflection and slowing down.
32 What is the major cause of winter depression?
A. Eating more. B. Lack of light. C. Less exercise. D. Feeling lonely.
33. According to Paragraph 4, in what way do antidepressants help patients with more severe depression?
A. By increasing the amount of light. B. By changing people’s mindset.
C. By artificially raising brain serotonin levels. D. By advising rest and reflection.
34. How does the author develop his idea in paragraph 5?
A. By describing details. B. By providing evidence.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an example.
35. What's this passage mainly about?
A. The types of the SAD. B. The importance of taking action.
C. The causes of winter depression. D. The way to stay cheerful in winter.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In my backpack, there is always a waterproof paper map. ____36____ Instead, it is my main tool for navigating (导航).
I have tried digital devices and set precise points on my GPS watch. But every time I use it, I feel a strange distance. ____37____ It reduces the land into simple lines and dots, while the real wilderness is full of details and textures (肌理). Unfolding a paper map feels more engaging. I trace the lines with my fingers and match the symbols to the rivers I see in the distance. I am not being guided passively. I am actively building my own understanding of the land.
____38____ A screen tells you: “You are here and follow this line.” But a map asks you: “Where are you? What surrounds you? How will you move through this place?” When I stare at a blinking dot on a screen, I seem to forget the sunlight, the wind, and the sounds of the forest. But with a paper map, I watch, think, and most importantly, engage fully with the environment.
A paper map turns every step into a conversation with nature. ____39____ I remember once getting lost on a mountain path. I stopped, spread out my map, and tried to match what I saw around me with the details on the map. Slowly, the landmarks began to line up, and the landscape started to make sense again.
Of course, I value safety. My GPS watch is always with me. I reserve it for emergency, but the paper map gives me something more: the memory of finding my way. ____40____.
So next time you go into the wild, bring a paper map. Let your eyes, hands, and mind explore, get lost, and discover the land on your own terms.
A. It is not just a silent backup.
B. It is like reading an over-simplified world.
C. They never run out of battery, which is a relief.
D. Even losing my way enhances this connection.
E. I sometimes wonder what it really means to navigate.
F. I learn to trust my own judgement rather than the map.
G. And I will always appreciate the patience and self-trust it builds.

At the end of a busy month, a friend told me about her endless schedule. She had been rushing from one meeting to another, always putting on her best face. By the end, she was completely ___41___. “I want to hug my family,” she said, “have a good cry, and then everything will feel better.”
And she was right. Crying can act like a ___42___ button. Music, in particular, helps us let out feelings we normally hold back. A single sad pop song can push us into ___43___ when life feels too heavy. I even keep a playlist ready for those moments when I feel stressed out.
In real life, I have a very low ___44___ for crying. Tears in the office, for example, feel awkward and out of place. My own crying is private, quick, and ideally exercised in contexts that do not affect me ___45___ — perhaps a moving documentary, or a film where an old man dies alone.
No one has ever really solved the mystery of why humans cry, nor the ___46___ of tears. Charles Darwin considered emotional tears “purposeless”, and there remains little agreement on their meaning even now. In the 1980s, William H. Frey suggested that crying helps remove toxins (毒素) built up from stress. It’s a(n) ___47___ idea, but it never gained strong scientific support. Another psychologist, Ad Vingerhoets, has said that crying often ___48___ helplessness, hopelessness, or separation from loved ones. Death, divorce, or homesickness are among the most common causes. Yet even his studies show ___49___ results: only about half the people surveyed felt better after crying. Much depends on how others react to our tears.
For me, ___50___, crying is not something to be shared. Perhaps I am marked by that keep-it-in culture that still sees crying as something that should be ___51___. My grandmother lived through enormous loss, but I never once saw her cry. Perhaps she, too, had her own secret way of releasing ___52___ — maybe with music, alone in a darkened room.
And perhaps this explains why so many people find themselves ___53___ on long flights. At 30,000 feet, surrounded by strangers, normal rules seem to ___54___. You can cry through a sad film without embarrassment. In no way are these moments social, nor do we seek observers to justify our tears. But, man, it feels ___55___ to cry.
41. A. relaxed B. exhausted C. embarrassed D. motivated
42. A. record B. panic C. reset D. play
43. A. action B. conflicts C. reflection D. tears
44. A. requirement B. tolerance C. competence D. concern
45. A. socially B. physically C. emotionally D. personally
46. A. silence B. point C. trace D. memory
47 A. dangerous B. strange C. appealing D. basic
48. A. comes from B. results in C. depends upon D. protects against
49. A. mixed B. consistent C. expected D. notable
50. A. shortly B. moreover C. otherwise D. though
51. A. treasured B. judged C. communicated D. shamed
52. A. doubts B. emotions C. fear D. joy
53. A. weeping B. sleeping C. arguing D. exercising
54. A. matter B. evolve C. disappear D. emerge
55. A. tiring B. heavy C. good D. awkward

That’s no surprise, considering that his ideas came out of the 18th-century marketplace, in ___56___ producers and consumers were likely to be neighbours. Advances in technology, transport and communications have taken us a long way since then, ___57___ (create) complex global supply chains. These ___58___ (reduce) consumer prices but introduced risks of their own, from labour exploitation and environmental degradation.
These middlemen, including Big Tech platforms like Amazon, make it possible for us to buy goods made ___59___ the other side of the world, but this connective power is threatening accountability by creating so much separation between buyers and sellers ___60___ it’s impossible to match up with the real cost of convenience and low prices.
There are plenty of examples ___61___ (support) the case.
In the latter, lack of information equality makes it difficult for market participants to have a(n) ___62___ (share) understanding of what is being bought and sold.
The two big questions are how to create system change and ___63___ will bear the cost of it. There are no simple answers to ___64___ of the questions, though technology offers new possibilities to connect buyers and sellers.
Direct-to-consumer retailers and 3D printing, which ____65____ (allow) for shorter supply chains, are both examples of this.

I always had a tough time in school. My father had put it best: “Some kids are good in school, and some aren’t. You’re just one of the kids who isn’t.” But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
Ever since the first day of school, it had been drilled into my brain that I must strive for academic success. Our principal talked to us many times about striving for greatness. Pictures of past scholars and professors decorated at least one wall in almost every classroom.
When I was a small child, I was tested, and they found that I had several learning disabilities. I had to review constantly to keep the information in my brain, and I was always two to three years behind my grade level in math.
In high school, without special education, I had to find new ways to help myself do better in school. One night, I was working with my tutor. I just wasn’t getting it, and it had been going on like that for a few weeks. My tutor had finally had it, and started yelling at me in front of the entire crowd of kids (each with their own private tutor). “How dumb can you be? We’ve been reviewing the same four math steps for three weeks now. If you don’t start shaping up soon, you’ll end up being a failure.”
That was the first time someone had said “you’re a failure” right to my face. Until then, my failure had been my private despair. I stormed out of the room and hid in a dark corner right outside the school. I stayed there for a half hour, crying and asking myself if the pain and disappointment would ever end.
I left that school shortly afterwards, hoping to find a place where I could get away from the pain and find the greatness buried deep within me. And I did.

$Our team needs to finish the river cleanup project this weekend to meet the environmental report deadline. Can you join us on saturday? I'd love to help, but I have my basketball finals scheduled for saturday. However, i'm completely free on sunday with that work. Unfortunately, the report must be submitted by monday morning. If we wait until sunday, there won't be enough time to analyze the data and finalize the report. I understand the urgency. Here's an idea. What if I handle all the data analysis tonight after practice? That way, you only need to focus on collecting water and soil samples on saturday.
