Zhang Shengwu, a 60-year-old farmer from Hanshan County, Anhui province, has spent nearly a decade making a five-ton, two-seater homemade invention of submarine (潜水艇) — the “Big Black Fish”.
Zhang grew up near the Yangtze River basin, earning a living as a carpenter (木匠), welder (焊接工人) in the shipping industry. “I’d watched boats all my life,” he said, “but I always felt something was missing.”
It appeared in 2014 when he saw a submarine on TV. “I’d seen wooden and iron boats,” he recalled, “but never one that could go underwater.” Within days, he gathered 5,000 yuan, purchased steel, an engine, and a battery, and began welding. Several months later, his first submarine, 6 meters long, 1.2 meters high, weighing two tons, was ready. The one-man sub could dive just a meter and leaked badly, but it was enough to earn a national patent in 2016. Unsatisfied, he poured more money into a second one. Now the Big Black Fish is 7 meters long and 1.8 meters high, seats two people and can dive to 8 meters. To make it more stable, Zhang poured concrete into the bottom and added two ballast tanks (压载舱) at both ends, which filled with water to dive, and come to the surface. In addition, a pole with a waterproof camera lets Zhang check the riverbed before each dive. This proved practical when he located a fisherman’s lost net during testing.
Zhang says each successful trial steels his resolve. “Only when you try and succeed do you realize what you’re truly capable of,” he said, “people should have something to dream about.” He hopes to make a larger, fully operational model capable of deeper dives and longer distance.
4. Why did Zhang want to build a submarine?
A. To get a national patent. B. To help the local fishermen.
C. To practice his welding skills. D. To fulfill his drive of invention.
5. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. The process of improving the submarine. B. The difficulties in making the submarine.
C. The inspiration to build something novel. D. The preparations of making the submarine.
6. What does the phrase “steels his resolve” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Lowers his spirit. B. Reduces his effort.
C. Comforts his mind. D. Strengthens his will.
7. Which of the following words might best describes Zhang Shengwu?
A. Rich and famous. B. Curious and generous.
C. Determined and creative. D. Traditional and cautious.

Cities are difficult to navigate (导航) at the best of times, but for people with disabilities they can be like courses with hurdles (障碍) and bring inconvenience to disabled people.
A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties took 39% fewer trips than those with no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow smarter. Assistive tech is playing a big role in the transformation. The global value of the industry is expected to increase from $14 billion in 2015 to $30.8 billion in 2024, according to Zion Market Research.
One of the things that could transform lives is a smart walking stick designed by engineers from Young Guru Academy (YGA) in Turkey. The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and uses vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone to help navigation, and is connected with a voice assistant and Google Maps.
Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to the Internet of Things and smart city solutions makes it user-friendly. “As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my exit... I don’t know which bus is approaching... which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk,” he says.
“The smart walking stick is really an exciting initiative that will make a huge difference to some people,” says Anna Lawson, the director of the Center for Disability Studies at Leeds University in the United Kingdom. “But they are very expensive... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people,” she added.
Bryan Matthews, a lecturer at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, shares the concerns about cost. He says there should also be a focus on inclusive design, and anything that helps people navigate their environment is positive.
8. What is a key feature of the WeWalk smart walking stick?
A. It can automatically call a bus for the user.
B. It uses sound to detect hurdles above chest level.
C. Its sensor warns the user of high obstacles through vibrations.
D. It is designed to be affordable for the majority of disabled people.
9. What’s the purpose of quoting Ceylan?
A. To show the value of smart tech. B. To urge more attention to the blind.
C. To increase the potential market share. D. To encourage tech research and development.
10. What’s the meaning of “initiative” in Paragraph 5?
A. a personal hobby B. a financial problem.
C. a scientific theory. D. a new plan or process.
11. What is the disadvantage of the WeWalk stick?
A. Confusing instructions. B. Poor navigation.
C. Inclusive designs. D. High prices.
D
Although South Africans are known for their friendliness and warmth, our accent (口音) is not well-received, with a new study showing our accent is the world’s 12th friendliest. According to the study, only 1 in every 100 participants (参与者) considered the South African accent as the most friendly-sounding — a big drop since 2019 when it was considered the second most beautiful accent worldwide, which was an astonishing result for me.
The study found Americans had the friendliest English accent in the world with one in five seeing the American accent as the friendliest. Though the Canadian accent is the most closely related to general American English, with similar rules for pronunciation and accent, only one in 12 selected it as the friendliest accent. The British accent is considered the second most friendly accent, with one in seven selecting it as the friendliest. The Australian accent came in third place, with almost one in 10 considering it to be friendly. Although the New Zealand accent is similar to the Australian accent, New Zealanders came 15th with just 1 in 100 choosing the Kiwi accent as the friendliest.
In understanding why some accents are viewed as more friendly than others Dr Christopher Strelluf from the University of Warwick said attitudes towards language varieties (变体) usually show the ideas “we have about people who speak those varieties”. “If people around the world think American English sounds friendly, it’s good news for Americans because it means people think of Americans as friendly people.”
“The meanings of Englishes worldwide are also changing rapidly across many dimensions (维度). For example, while British English has historically provided an international model for ‘correct’ English, people who live in countries where English is being learned for getting into the global (全球的) marketplace increasingly prefer American English as their standard,” said Strelluf.
“In this study, the attitudes towards English show the basic ways we continue to find our way through social relationships using language and our thoughts about language.”
12. How does the author probably feel about the study?
A. Excited. B. Doubtful. C. Surprised. D. Satisfied
13. Which of the four accents is least friendly according to the study?
A. The American accent. B. The Canadian accent.
C. The Australian accent. D. The British accent.
14. What may the study lead people to think according to Strelluf?
A. Americans are nice and warm. B. Americans are usually talkative.
C. Americans like language to be varied. D. Americans like to explore the world.
15. Why does Strelluf mention people’s preferred Englishes in paragraph 4?
A. To show the development of the global marketplace.
B. To explain the importance of learning “correct English”.
C. To draw attention to the changing face of global English.
D. To compare the difference of English in the UK and the US.

Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. ____16____
On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. ____17____ According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.
____18____ First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments.
What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. ____19____ This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress.
But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. ____20____ It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.
In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope.
A. But why do we love nostalgia so much?
B. This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us.
C Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.
D. However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.
E. It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.
F. Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy.
G. Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.

I’m not saying that I never felt alone or afraid.

This trip gave me enormous _____30_____ and all the doubts and fears before the departure had _____31_____. Throughout my _____32_____ there, I only felt a huge positive energy!

The Most Precious Gift
In the sixth grade, our teacher assigned “secret friends” for the coming week. The purpose of this assignment was to do nice things for your friend without letting them know who was doing it. We could leave encouraging notes on their desk or mysteriously leave a card in their backpack or book. Our teacher wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a bucket, then we each closed our eyes and drew the name of the classmate who we were to secretly make friends with and support over the next five school days.
However, by the middle of the week, everyone, including me, had turned this assignment into a contest to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. Instead of encouraging notes, we left stationery sets (文具) on our friend’s desk. Instead of giving compliments, we were giving snacks, candies and even money. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friends, except me.
My friend followed our teacher’s directions without a fault. I received handmade cards, notes with nice thoughts and countless smiley-face pictures claiming that I was one of the nicest girls in the class. My friend seemed to think highly of me from the notes that were left, but the lack of gifts made me wonder what was up with whoever had pulled my name.
On the last morning of our assignment I walked into my classroom and noticed that there was a package on my desk. I eagerly unwrapped it and stared down at my desk. There sat a hand-made rabbit, wearing blue dark clothes with messy ears. Beside it was a note, saying “Your favorite rabbit. Hope you will like it.” The girls sitting near me made fun of the “odd and ugly” gift I had received and laughed at me. I felt my face turn red, angrily threw it into the desk and dashed out of the classroom. The moment I was out, someone called my name. She was Mary, a girl who was shy and always sat at the corner of the classroom.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“I’m your secret friend,” she wept.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Knowing that she had stayed up late to make the rabbit, I was ashamed.

推理判断题。根据第二段““I’d watched boats all my life,” he said, “but I always felt something was missing.”(“我一辈子都在看船,”他说,“但我总觉得少了些什么。”)”和第三段“It appeared in 2014 when he saw a submarine on TV. “I’d seen wooden and iron boats,” he recalled, “but never one that could go underwater.”(2014 年,他在电视上看到潜水艇,由此萌生了(造潜水艇的)想法。“我见过木船和铁船,”他回忆道,“但从未见过能潜入水下的船。”)”可知,张想造一艘潜艇是为了实现他的发明愿望。故选D。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Several months later, his first submarine, 6 meters long, 1.2 meters high, weighing two tons, was ready. The one-man sub could dive just a meter and leaked badly, but it was enough to earn a national patent in 2016. Unsatisfied, he poured more money into a second one. Now the Big Black Fish is 7 meters long and 1.8 meters high, seats two people and can dive to 8 meters. To make it more stable, Zhang poured concrete into the bottom and added two ballast tanks (压载舱) at both ends, which filled with water to dive, and come to the surface. In addition, a pole with a waterproof camera lets Zhang check the riverbed before each dive.(几个月后,他首艘长6米、高1.2米、重达两吨的潜水艇终于造好了。这艘单人潜水艇只能下潜一米,且漏水严重,但即便如此,它还是在2016年为张胜武赢得了国家专利。张胜武并不满足于此,他又投入更多资金打造了第二艘。如今,“大黑鱼”号潜水艇长7米、高1.8米,可容纳两人乘坐,并能下潜至8米深。为了使潜水艇更加稳定,张胜武在艇底浇筑了混凝土,并在两端加装了两个压载舱,通过注水实现下潜,排水实现上浮。此外,潜水艇上还装有一根带有防水摄像头的杆子,以便张胜武在每次下潜前检查河床情况。)”可知,第三段主要讲的是改进潜艇的过程。故选A。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“He hopes to make a larger, fully operational model capable of deeper dives and longer distance.(他希望制造一个更大的、完全可操作的模型,能够下潜更深、航行更远。)”和划线词前文“each successful trial(每次成功的试验)”可知,成功的试验坚定了他的决心,steels his resolve意为“坚定他的决心”,和Strengthens his will意思相近。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Zhang Shengwu, a 60-year-old farmer from Hanshan County, Anhui province, has spent nearly a decade making a five-ton, two-seater homemade invention of submarine (潜水艇) — the “Big Black Fish”.(来自安徽省含山县的60岁农民张胜武,耗时近十年打造出一艘重达五吨、可容纳两人的自制潜水艇——“大黑鱼”。)”可知,他建了一个潜水艇,因此他是有创造力的;根据最后一段“Zhang says each successful trial steels his resolve.(张说,每一次成功的试验都坚定了他的决心。)”可知,他是有决心的,因此可用determined和creative来描述他,故选C。
C
Cities are difficult to navigate (导航) at the best of times, but for people with disabilities they can be like courses with hurdles (障碍) and bring inconvenience to disabled people.
A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties took 39% fewer trips than those with no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow smarter. Assistive tech is playing a big role in the transformation. The global value of the industry is expected to increase from $14 billion in 2015 to $30.8 billion in 2024, according to Zion Market Research.
One of the things that could transform lives is a smart walking stick designed by engineers from Young Guru Academy (YGA) in Turkey. The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and uses vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone to help navigation, and is connected with a voice assistant and Google Maps.
Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to the Internet of Things and smart city solutions makes it user-friendly. “As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my exit... I don’t know which bus is approaching... which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk,” he says.
“The smart walking stick is really an exciting initiative that will make a huge difference to some people,” says Anna Lawson, the director of the Center for Disability Studies at Leeds University in the United Kingdom. “But they are very expensive... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people,” she added.
Bryan Matthews, a lecturer at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, shares the concerns about cost. He says there should also be a focus on inclusive design, and anything that helps people navigate their environment is positive.
8. What is a key feature of the WeWalk smart walking stick?
A. It can automatically call a bus for the user.
B. It uses sound to detect hurdles above chest level.
C. Its sensor warns the user of high obstacles through vibrations.
D. It is designed to be affordable for the majority of disabled people.
9. What’s the purpose of quoting Ceylan?
A. To show the value of smart tech. B. To urge more attention to the blind.
C. To increase the potential market share. D. To encourage tech research and development.
10. What’s the meaning of “initiative” in Paragraph 5?
A. a personal hobby B. a financial problem.
C. a scientific theory. D. a new plan or process.
11. What is the disadvantage of the WeWalk stick?
A. Confusing instructions. B. Poor navigation.
C. Inclusive designs. D. High prices.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了智能手杖WeWalk的设计特点、功能优势以及其面临的价格问题,展现了科技为残疾人生活带来改变的同时,也指出了新科技产品推广面临的挑战。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and uses vibrations (振动) to warn the user. (WeWalk手杖有一个传感器,可以检测胸部以上的障碍物,并通过振动向使用者发出警告。)”可知,WeWalk智能手杖的关键特点是其传感器通过振动警告使用者有高处障碍物。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Ceylan所说的话“As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my exit... I don’t know which bus is approaching... which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk”(作为一个盲人,当我在地铁站时,我不知道哪个是我的出口……我不知道哪辆公交车即将到来……我不知道我周围有哪些商店。这些信息可以通过WeWalk提供。)可知,Ceylan通过自身使用WeWalk的经历,展示了智能科技为盲人带来的便利和价值,从而说明智能科技的重要性。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“The smart walking stick is really an exciting initiative that will make a huge difference to some people”(智能手杖确实是一项令人兴奋的_____,它将给一些人带来巨大的改变)以及后文提到“But they are very expensive... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people”(但是它们非常昂贵……大多数残疾人都买不起)可知,这里是在说智能手杖这个新事物,虽然能带来巨大改变,但存在价格问题。由此可推测,“initiative”在这里指的是一个新的计划或过程,即智能手杖这一新的发明或举措。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“But they are very expensive... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people”(但是它们非常昂贵……大多数残疾人都买不起)以及第六段“Bryan Matthews, a lecturer at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, shares the concerns about cost. (利兹大学交通研究所讲师Bryan Matthews也表达了对成本的担忧。)”可知,WeWalk手杖的缺点是价格高昂。故选D项。

Although South Africans are known for their friendliness and warmth, our accent (口音) is not well-received, with a new study showing our accent is the world’s 12th friendliest. According to the study, only 1 in every 100 participants (参与者) considered the South African accent as the most friendly-sounding — a big drop since 2019 when it was considered the second most beautiful accent worldwide, which was an astonishing result for me.
The study found Americans had the friendliest English accent in the world with one in five seeing the American accent as the friendliest. Though the Canadian accent is the most closely related to general American English, with similar rules for pronunciation and accent, only one in 12 selected it as the friendliest accent. The British accent is considered the second most friendly accent, with one in seven selecting it as the friendliest. The Australian accent came in third place, with almost one in 10 considering it to be friendly. Although the New Zealand accent is similar to the Australian accent, New Zealanders came 15th with just 1 in 100 choosing the Kiwi accent as the friendliest.
In understanding why some accents are viewed as more friendly than others, Dr Christopher Strelluf from the University of Warwick said attitudes towards language varieties (变体) usually show the ideas “we have about people who speak those varieties”. “If people around the world think American English sounds friendly, it’s good news for Americans because it means people think of Americans as friendly people.”
“The meanings of Englishes worldwide are also changing rapidly across many dimensions (维度). For example, while British English has historically provided an international model for ‘correct’ English, people who live in countries where English is being learned for getting into the global (全球的) marketplace increasingly prefer American English as their standard,” said Strelluf.
“In this study, the attitudes towards English show the basic ways we continue to find our way through social relationships using language and our thoughts about language.”
12 How does the author probably feel about the study?
A. Excited. B. Doubtful. C. Surprised. D. Satisfied
13. Which of the four accents is least friendly according to the study?
A. The American accent. B. The Canadian accent.
C. The Australian accent. D. The British accent.
14. What may the study lead people to think according to Strelluf?
A. Americans are nice and warm. B. Americans are usually talkative.
C. Americans like language to be varied. D. Americans like to explore the world.
15. Why does Strelluf mention people’s preferred Englishes in paragraph 4?
A. To show the development of the global marketplace.
B. To explain the importance of learning “correct English”.
C. To draw attention to the changing face of global English.
D. To compare the difference of English in the UK and the US.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于不同英语口音友好程度的研究,并探讨了人们对不同口音的态度及其背后的原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“According to the study, only 1 in every 100 participants (参与者) considered the South African accent as the most friendly-sounding — a big drop since 2019 when it was considered the second most beautiful accent worldwide, which was an astonishing result for me.(根据这项研究,每100名参与者中只有1人认为南非口音听起来最友好——自2019年以来大幅下降,当时南非口音被认为是世界上第二美丽的口音,这对我来说是一个惊人的结果)”可知,作者对这项研究的结果感到惊讶。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The study found Americans had the friendliest English accent in the world with one in five seeing the American accent as the friendliest. Though the Canadian accent is the most closely related to general American English, with similar rules for pronunciation and accent, only one in 12 selected it as the friendliest accent. The British accent is considered the second most friendly accent, with one in seven selecting it as the friendliest. The Australian accent came in third place, with almost one in 10 considering it to be friendly.(研究发现,美国人的英语口音是世界上最友好的,每五个人中就有一个认为美国口音最友好。尽管加拿大口音与通用美式英语最为接近,发音和口音规则相似,但只有十二分之一的人选择它作为最友好的口音。英国口音被认为是第二友好的口音,每七个人中就有一个选择它作为最友好的口音。澳大利亚口音排在第三位,几乎每十个人中就有一个认为它很友好)”可知,美国口音、英国口音和澳大利亚口音都被认为比较友好,而加拿大口音被认为最不友好。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““If people around the world think American English sounds friendly, it’s good news for Americans because it means people think of Americans as friendly people.”(“如果全世界的人都认为美式英语听起来很友好,这对美国人来说是个好消息,因为这意味着人们认为美国人是友好的人。”)”可知,根据斯特雷卢夫的说法,这项研究可能会让人们认为美国人很友好。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““The meanings of Englishes worldwide are also changing rapidly across many dimensions (维度). For example, while British English has historically provided an international model for “correct” English, people who live in countries where English is being learned for getting into the global (全球的) marketplace increasingly prefer American English as their standard,” said Strelluf.(斯特雷卢夫说:“世界各地的英语含义也在许多维度上迅速变化。例如,虽然英式英语历来为“正确”英语提供了国际模式,但生活在以学习英语进入全球市场的国家的人们越来越倾向于以美式英语为标准。”)”可知,斯特雷卢夫提到人们偏爱的英语是为了引起人们对全球英语不断变化的关注。故选C。

Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. ____16____
On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. ____17____ According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.
____18____ First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments.
What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. ____19____ This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress.
But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. ____20____ It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.
In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope.
A. But why do we love nostalgia so much?
B. This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us.
C. Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.
D. However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.
E. It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.
F. Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy.
G. Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.

During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.(据中国科学院心理研究所杨紫嫣教授介绍,怀旧之情会让人产生温暖、归属感,甚至是一种精神上对过去的逃避。在艰难时期——无论是个人困境还是全球性危机——怀旧都如同一道情感安全网。电影和音乐是强大的怀旧触发因素,因为它们能重现熟悉的情感和经历。)”可知,本空需体现“表面现象”与“深层作用”的转折。D选项“However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.(然而,心理学专家表示,事情远不止于此。)”既转折上文“简单的表面感受”,又引出下文专家对怀旧深层意义的解读,符合逻辑。故选D。

Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions.(怀旧对我们的大脑有什么影响?大部分都是好东西!研究表明,它通过激活积极情绪来提高幸福感、创造力和能量。)”及下文“This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals.(这种年轻的乐观心态鼓励我们冒险、追求目标。)”可知,本空应继续解释怀旧对大脑的影响,强调怀旧能让人们感觉年轻乐观。E选项“It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.(它甚至能让我们感觉更年轻、更乐观。)”能承上启下,且句中“younger and more optimistic”与下文“This youthful optimism”相照应。故选E。

由上文“But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present.(但太多的怀旧会有害吗?少量摄入是健康的。然而,如果我们过多地思考过去,它可能会阻碍我们前进。关键在于平衡——在不忽视当下的情况下享受回忆。)”及下文“It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.(它帮助我们重新连接真实的自我,记住自己的本质。)”可知,本空需回归“怀旧的整体积极属性”,引出下文对其正面作用的补充。G选项“Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.(不过,总的来说,怀旧是生活中自然且积极的一部分。)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选G。

The Most Precious Gift
In the sixth grade, our teacher assigned “secret friends” for the coming week. The purpose of this assignment was to do nice things for your friend without letting them know who was doing it. We could leave encouraging notes on their desk or mysteriously leave a card in their backpack or book. Our teacher wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a bucket, then we each closed our eyes and drew the name of the classmate who we were to secretly make friends with and support over the next five school days.
However, by the middle of the week, everyone, including me, had turned this assignment into a contest to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift. Instead of encouraging notes, we left stationery sets (文具) on our friend’s desk. Instead of giving compliments, we were giving snacks, candies and even money. It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friends, except me.
My friend followed our teacher’s directions without a fault. I received handmade cards, notes with nice thoughts and countless smiley-face pictures claiming that I was one of the nicest girls in the class. My friend seemed to think highly of me from the notes that were left, but the lack of gifts made me wonder what was up with whoever had pulled my name.
On the last morning of our assignment, I walked into my classroom and noticed that there was a package on my desk. I eagerly unwrapped it and stared down at my desk. There sat a hand-made rabbit, wearing blue dark clothes with messy ears. Beside it was a note, saying “Your favorite rabbit. Hope you will like it.” The girls sitting near me made fun of the “odd and ugly” gift I had received and laughed at me. I felt my face turn red, angrily threw it into the desk and dashed out of the classroom. The moment I was out, someone called my name. She was Mary, a girl who was shy and always sat at the corner of the classroom.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“I’m your secret friend,” she wept.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Knowing that she had stayed up late to make the rabbit, I was ashamed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“I’m your secret friend,” she wept. “I’m terribly sorry about the gift,” she whispered to me, sobbing with her face hidden in her hands. Frustrated and somewhat grieved, she explained that she couldn’t afford a fancy present, so she decided to make one herself. She stayed up all night last night to finish the hand-made rabbit, so that she could give it to me on the last day of assignment.
Knowing that she had stayed up late to make the rabbit, I was ashamed. Regretful and kind of embarrassed, I was sick to my stomach as my actions ran through my mind. I felt my throat was tightened as if a rock were stuck in it because I ruined everything she specially prepared for me. I regretted my actions and kept apologizing to her. Along with my apologies, I explained the reason. Actually I didn’t dislike the present that she gave me, I just felt a bit embarrassed when I received it with many classmates watching me and discussing my gift. Relieved and delighted, she flashed a smile to me, looking me in the eyes and comforted me that she understood my difficult situations because she had been trying to fit in, too. “We share something in common, don’t we?” she said, with a broad smile spreading over her face. Her simple words, spoken from her heart, found their way straight into mine. Touched immensely, I felt warmth flowing through me. That day, I gained a real “secret friend” and also learned to cherish real friendship.
