I lived in about four places in two and a half years , and you know when you’ re a kid and going out of one school and into another, you really want to connect and get people to like you and so forth. It was in Dunsmuir, California. I was the new kid in class, and we were assigned to write a short essay. No one else in class knew what an essay was, exactly; I sort of knew. So I got a subject. My mother took me to the library, showed me where to look things up, and how, without writing the thing for me. And the subject was how laughing killed the pain. I had to read it out to the class, and the teacher praised it. And the other kids liked it. I was King of the Class for that whole day. I thought: God, if this is being a writer, I want to be a writer! So that was essentially when I decided to be a writer. All the ambitions that I had ever after were somehow tied to writing. 第二部分 阅读 (共20小题;每小题2.5分，满分50分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Two years ago, as my then-9-year-old son, George, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything that comes our way. George is a picky eater and can be unwilling to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, inspired by a movie I watched. Before the trip, George and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones. Settled at our hotel, I took George to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on the first day. Inspired by George’s bravery on the chairlift (升降机) , I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep, but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge. Later that afternoon, when George and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub (浴池). Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to refuse, George reminded me of the rule. Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as George and I braved it together. Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet. 21. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule? A. To conquer George’s ski fears. B. To master new snowboarding skills. C. To encourage George to try new things. D. To win in snowboarding competitions. 22. Which of the following best describes George? A. Confident. B. Courageous. C. Positive. D. Responsible. 23. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5? A. She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub. B. She regretted breaking the rule with George. C. She felt much better when she got out of the tub. D. She found it rewarding to brave the experience. 24. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Welcoming Yes: A Family Adventure B. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories C. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders D. Braving Winter: Family Unity 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D 24. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和儿子乔治通过“Yes Day”规则挑战自我，尝试新事物的故事。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“George is a picky eater and can be unwilling to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, inspired by a movie I watched.(乔治是一个挑食的孩子，而且不太愿意尝试新事物。据他所说，这是因为他对高处、蜘蛛和黑暗有恐惧。我希望能找到一个解决办法。所以我借鉴了电影中看到的“Yes Day”的想法)”可知，作者设立“Yes Day”规则是为了鼓励乔治尝试新事物。故选C。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Inspired by George’ s bravery on the chairlif t (升降机) , I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day.(在他学习滑雪的时候，我独自一人滑雪，第一天选择了一条简单的绿色初级雪道。受到乔治在乘坐缆车时勇敢表现的启发，我第二天挑战了自己，尝试了一条更具挑战性的蓝色中级雪道)”可推知，乔治在面对恐惧时仍然敢于尝试新事物，表现出勇敢的特质。故选B。   【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to refuse, George reminded me of the rule.(请注意，那天的气温是零下20度，而且我最讨厌的事情莫过于冷上加湿！当我开始拒绝时，乔治提醒了我我们定下的规则)”以及第五段的“But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as George and I braved it together.(但感受到冷空气拂过皮肤也别有一番清爽，一旦我们进入热水浴池，那温暖的水更显得格外惬意。出来的时候是另一回事了，不过这次经历非常美妙，因为乔治和我一起勇敢地体验了这一切)”可推知，尽管作者最初感到寒冷和不适，但她发现这一体验很有价值，并乐在其中。故选D。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Two years ago, as my then-9-year-old son, George, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip to Keystone, Colorado, I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything that comes our way.(两年前，当时9岁的儿子乔治和我正在准备一次前往科罗拉多州基思通的母子滑雪之旅时，我想出了一个规则：我们会对我们遇到的一切都说“好”)”可知，文章主要讲述作者和儿子乔治在滑雪旅行中通过设立“Yes Day”的规则，挑战新事物并体验冒险的故事。A选项“Welcoming Yes: A Family Adventure (拥抱每一个“yes”：我们的家庭冒险)”适合作本文的标题。故选A。 B When you’re bored, what do you do? The answer is a no-brainer: you reach for your phone. Five minutes of doggy pictures can seem like the perfect break. But a new unpublished study has bad news. Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling more bored. To figure out the relationship between phones and boredom, the research team set up an app on the phones of 83 volunteers to keep an eye on how often they used their devices. They also asked these volunteers to keep detailed diaries at work, recording their level of tiredness and boredom. The researchers’ first discovery was no shocker. We’re on our phones a lot. Phone breaks were very frequent: in the 20 minutes following each questionnaire, volunteers picked up their phone 52 percent of the time, spending an average of around 90 seconds on it each time. Equally unsurprising was the second finding: the more tired we are, the more likely we are to reach for our phones. The real kicker was the final finding. While we look to our phones to relieve our tiredness and boredom, screen time actually seemed to increase feelings of boredom. The research team thought about the different reasons why this might be so. Shifting from work to your phone and back again may end up being more tiring in mind than it is stimulating (提神的). In other words, that baby goat video was nice, but not worth the cost to your brain in effort and concentration. Besides, picking up your phone might just serve as a reminder of all the fun and interesting things out there you could be doing if you didn’t have to fill out paperwork. This one small study can’t clearly say if either of these explanations is right, but the basic takeaway is pretty clear: A quick look at your phone is going to make your brain feel even more fried. If so, what to do instead? 25. Why did the research team set up an app on the volunteers’ phones? A. To ensure their rest time. B. To remove their boredom. C. To track their phone usage. D. To record their tiredness. 26. What do the underlined words “the real kicker” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. The most unexpected. B. The most advanced. C. The most frequent. D. The most relieving. 27. The baby goat video is mentioned in paragraph 4 to show ________. A. phones can be tiring B. phones can be inspiring C. phones can function as a reminder D. phones can benefit our paperwork 28. What might the author continue talking about? A. Why screen time is harmful. B. How to take a better break. C. Recommended online activities. D. Studies on phone addiction. 【答案】25. C 26. A 27. A 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的未发表的研究表明，在无聊时看手机会让你感到更无聊。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To figure out the relationship between phones and boredom, the research team set up an app on the phones of 83 volunteers to keep an eye on how often they used their devices.(为了弄清楚手机和无聊之间的关系，研究团队在83名志愿者的手机上安装了一个应用程序，以跟踪他们使用设备的频率)”可知，研究小组在志愿者的手机上安装了一个应用程序是为了跟踪他们的电话使用情况，故选C。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语上文“The researchers’ first discovery was no shocker. We’re on our phones a lot. Equally unsurprising was the second finding: the more tired we are, the more likely we are to reach for our phones.(研究人员的第一个发现并不令人震惊，我们经常使用手机。同样不足为奇的是第二个发现：我们越累，我们就越有可能伸手去拿手机。)”可知，前两个发现——我们经常使用手机；我们越累，我们就越有可能伸手去拿手机，这都是很常见的，不足为奇的，根据划线短语所在句子“The real kicker was the final finding. While we look to our phones to relieve our tiredness and boredom, screen time actually seemed to increase feelings of boredom.(The real kicker是最终的发现。当我们通过手机来缓解疲劳和无聊时，屏幕时间实际上似乎增加了无聊感。)”可知，最后一个发现与前两个发现大大不同——当我们通过手机来缓解疲劳和无聊时，屏幕时间实际上似乎增加了无聊感，这个发现是令人惊讶的，出乎意料的，划线短语The real kicker与Equally unsurprising是相对的。由此可知，划线短语意为“最出乎意料的”，与“The most unexpected.(最意想不到的。)”一样，故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Shifting from work to your phone and back again may end up being more tiring in mind than it is stimulating (提神的). In other words, that baby goat video was nice, but not worth the cost to your brain in effort and concentration.(从工作转移到手机上然后再从手机上转移到工作上可能最终会让人感到更累而不是刺激。换句话说，那个小山羊视频很不错，但不值得你的大脑付出精力和注意力的代价)”可推知，第四段提到小羊视频是为了展示玩手机会让人更累，故选A。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This one small study can’t clearly say if either of these explanations is right, but the basic takeaway is pretty clear: A quick look at your phone is going to make your brain feel even more fried. If so, what to do instead?(这项小型研究无法清楚地表明这两种解释是否正确，但基本的结论非常明确：快速浏览手机会让你的大脑感觉更加疲惫。如果是这样，该怎么办？)”可知，文章接下来会讲我们应该怎么办，也就是该如何更好地休息，故选B。 C Ten years ago, when asked about popular activities for fun, many people would say going to KTV or amusement parks. However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina (推拿), or even foot massage to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture (针灸). A survey in 2023 by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3% of 1,000 young people have tried TCM. A TCM doctor named Ma Huifang said that many young people are coming to her for health problems like neck and back pain, and dry eyes, which used to be seniors’ problems. These issues are becoming common in young people because of bad lifestyles and too much stress. When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. Some people say TCM is not scientific enough, but Ma thinks TCM is more accurate because it treats people based on their own needs. TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. Jin Ying, a 25-year-old student at Minzu University of China, is an enthusiast of TCM. She learned acupuncture and tuina at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. She even helped her roommate with insomnia (失眠) using ear seeds from a therapy called auricular acupoint therapy. Jin also follows the Five Elements theory in her daily life. In winter, she saves energy by not sweating too much. For her, learning TCM is about living a new way of life and understanding Chinese culture. “TCM helps young people learn about our national heritage and see it as a treasure of our culture,” Jin says. 29. How has young people changed their free time activity in the past few years? A. They have stopped going to health clubs. B. They only enjoy western medicine for the treatment. C. They now prefer going to KTV and amusement parks. D They now spend more time joining healthy activities. 30. Why do young people prefer TCM therapies according to Ma Huifang? A. They are useful for treatments. B. They change their bad lifestyles. C. They deal with too much stress. D. They are cheaper than other methods. 31. What does the underlined word “accurate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Useful. B. Advanced. C. Personalized. D. Special. 32. Why does the writer mention Jin Ying? A. To show Jin Ying’s skills. B. To prove the acceptance of TCM. C. To praise Jin Ying’s kindness. D. To explain the progress of TCM. 【答案】29. D 30. A 31. C 32. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了现在年轻人更喜欢中医。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina (推拿), or even foot massage to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture (针灸). (然而，现在的年轻人把空闲时间花在健身俱乐部，或做按摩，甚至足底按摩，以体验中医（TCM）的疗法，如针灸)”可知，现在年轻人在空闲时间更倾向于参加健康的、养生类的活动。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. (当选择西医和中医时，年轻人更喜欢中医，因为它对他们的健康问题有很好的效果)”可知，年轻人喜欢中医是因为中医的疗效很好。故选A。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段划线词 accurate 后的句子“because it treats people based on their own needs.(因为它是根据人们自己的需求来治疗的)”可知，TCM疗法是根据病人需求治疗，更具个性化，因此accurate为“个性化的”之意 。故选C。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句话“TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. (中医正在成为年轻人生活的重要组成部分)” 可推断，作者写Jin Ying的例子是为了体现中医在年轻人当中的认可度和传播度。故选B。 D “Using AI at work is great, but if we don’t slow down and think, it might make things bad for workers,” some senior workforce experience leaders talked about AI. They think AI can help people work better and be more creative. But they also worry that if we don’t plan well, it might make work less human. There are many ways to see how good work is done, and leaders in our study focused on the importance of creativity and hard work in creating good work. Nearly 70% of leaders we spoke to believe that AI can help workers be more creative. It gives people new ideas that make their work better. However, 42% worry that if workers depend too much on AI, they might not work as carefully as they should. Being careful means being correct, doing things completely, and having different ways of thinking to make the work really good. Perhaps the biggest worry about AI is its impact on human connection. Over a third of conversations think AI can free up time for us to have better talks and spend more time together. But not everyone is happy about this, with 41% of leaders believing AI will weaken the quality of human connections. These bosses are concerned that we might depend too much on machines, especially for important moments. Until now, what made these moments special was the personal care and understanding that come from people. They think moments without technology have a warmth and feeling that machines might not be able to give. AI is exciting, but we need to be careful and think about how it affects workers. We should focus on making AI work with people, not against them. 33. What can we learn about using AI from the first paragraph? A. It needs no planning in advance. B. It can not improve creativity at work. C. It is the only method to increase work speed. D. It might have bad influences if not carefully used. 34. What do 42% of the leaders concern about workers relying too much on AI? A. Workers will work with less care. B. Workers will become less creative. C. Workers will not complete their studies. D. Workers themselves will stop thinking. 35. How did the use of AI probably influence human connections? A. It will bring personal care and understanding. B. It will take away the warmth of human care. C. It will depend too much on human connections. D. It will strengthen the quality of human connections. 36. Who is the passage probably written for? A. Workers. B. Researchers. C. Leaders. D. Teenagers. 【答案】33. D 34. A 35. B 36. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能（AI）在工作场所的应用及其潜在影响。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Using AI at work is great, but if we don't slow down and think, it might make things bad for workers. (在工作中使用人工智能是伟大的，但如果我们不放慢脚步并思考，它可能会对工人造成不良影响。)”可知，如果不用心使用AI，它可能会产生不良影响。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, 42% worry that if workers depend too much on AI, they might not work as carefully as they should. (然而，42%的人担心，如果工人过于依赖人工智能，他们可能不会像应该的那样仔细工作。)”可知，42%的领导担心工人过度依赖AI会不太细心地工作。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“These bosses are concerned that we might depend too much on machines, especially for important moments. Until now, what made these moments special was the personal care and understanding that come from people. (这些老板担心我们可能过于依赖机器，尤其是在重要的时刻。直到现在，让这些时刻变得特别的是来自人们的个人关心和理解。)”可知，AI可能会夺走人关心的温暖。故选B。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“some senior workforce experience leaders talked about AI. (一些资深劳动力经验领导者谈到了人工智能)”和第二段第一句“There are many ways to see how good work is done, and leaders in our study focused on the importance of creativity and hard work in creating good work. (有很多方法可以看到工作做得有多好，我们研究中的领导者关注创造力和努力工作在创造良好工作中的重要性。)”可推测，这篇文章可能是写给领导的，故选C。 E With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think? Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read. Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better. So what can we do? We shouldn't stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice. 37. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper? A. It is better for reading quick news. B. It brings peaceful reading experience. C. It provides a new adventure for readers. D. It helps to improve communication abilities. 38. Why might students miss details when reading on screens? A. Screens make the text harder to read. B. The text on screens is usually less detailed. C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply. D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas. 39. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman's reading habits? A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading. B. She likes using Kindle for all types of reading. C. She thinks Kindles are suitable for serious reading. D. She prefers to use paper for challenging literature. 40. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Advantages Digital Learning Brings B. Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens C. How Reading on Paper Shapes Students D. The Importance of Online Learning at Home 【答案】37. B 38. C 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要比较纸质书和电子书的不同之处。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. (挪威斯塔万格大学的文学教授安妮·曼根表示，与在屏幕上阅读不同，在纸上阅读很平静，而且能吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，纸质书更能让我们静下心来阅读。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. (劳伦·辛格·特拉克曼的一项研究发现，无论是在纸上阅读还是在屏幕上阅读，学生都能理解主要思想，但他们会错过屏幕上的一些小细节。)”可知，屏幕阅读速度快，但不利于深度思考。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. (辛格·特拉克曼说，她用Kindle是为了娱乐，但在严肃的阅读中，她会转向纸质书。)”可知，她习惯用纸质书阅读严肃读物。阅读挑战性的文学读物属于严肃阅读，所以可以推断在读挑战性的文学时，她倾向于用纸质书。故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones.( 随着数字化学习普及，一些学生选择使用电脑和互联网在家学习。他们使用网站和电子书，而不是纸质书。)”及全文可知，文章主要比较纸质书和电子书的不同之处，所以B项“Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens(纸质阅读vs.屏幕阅读)”作本文标题最佳。故选B。 三、七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why do people travel? There are many reasons one can think of when asked questions like this. To travel far enough to meet yourself Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. ___41___ You find out your abilities. When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of. The farther you go from your home, the nearer you come to your true self. ___42___ If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone. Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable, but at the same time, it gives irreplaceable memories. To slow down and relax A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. While we are deeply involved in making money, we forget that time is going through our fingers. ___43___ The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy. ___44___ To celebrate life Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do, anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy. ___45___ A. To become a storyteller. B. Travelling lets you discover yourself. C. To break through your comfort zone. D. So, go travelling to celebrate life itself. E. You can relate to the world and connect to others. F. And the feeling of being away from your boss for a few days is pure pleasure. G. Escape life for a little while because experience is far more valuable than money. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. G 44. F 45. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章就人们为什么去旅游给出了几个原因。 【41题详解】 根据上文Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. 可知有时你会发现自己没有存在感．B项：Travelling lets you discover yourself旅行会让你发现自己。符合文意，故选B。 【42题详解】 空格处是段落标题。根据下文If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone.Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable 可知，如果你回顾你生命中所有令人惊异的记忆，你会意识到它们中的大多数都不在你的舒适区，旅行是危险的，充满了威胁生命的可能性，不会总是舒适的，故C项“这一自然段描述了旅游打破了你的舒适带”符合文意，所以选C。 【43题详解】 根据上文Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. 可知，如果你不能把钱花在一次小小的冒险上，钱就一文不值。 因此推断G项：Escape life for a little while because experience is far more valuable than money．逃避生活一段时间，因为经历远比金钱更有价值。符合文意，故选G项。 【44题详解】 根据上文The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy. 可知离开工作场所感觉是纯粹的幸福，不用担心那些没完没了的文件的感觉是纯粹的快乐。F项：And the feeling of being away from your boss for a few days is pure pleasure．离开老板几天的感觉纯粹就是一种享受，符合文意，故选F项。 【45题详解】 根据上文Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do, anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy. 可知生命短暂，世界广阔。总有一天，你可能会醒来，意识到你没有时间去做你一直想做的一切，再也不会了。偶尔，花点时间欣赏你还活着，年轻，自由和健康的事实。因此推断这里意思是去旅游来庆祝生活本身。故选D。 四、完形填空(共15小题;每小题1.5分，满分22.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The most unforgettable thing during my long summer holiday last year, of course was my trip ___46___ England.

George is a picky eater and can be unwilling to try new things. According to him, it’s because he has fears, including heights, spiders and the dark. I was hoping to find a solution. So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, inspired by a movie I watched. Before the trip, George and I agreed we would say yes to everything, especially new ones. Settled at our hotel, I took George to meet his snowboarding instructor. Though he had basic lessons in Connecticut, this was his first time on a larger mountain. While he learned, I skied by myself, choosing an easy green run on the first day. Inspired by George’s bravery on the chairlift (升降机) , I challenged myself to ski a more demanding blue run the next day. It was steep, but with careful turns, I made it down in one piece, feeling proud of conquering a new challenge. Later that afternoon, when George and I were reunited, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub (浴池). Mind you, it was a 20-degree day, and the only thing I hate more than being cold is being cold and wet! When I started to refuse, George reminded me of the rule. Yes, it was cold, and yes, I was wet. But it was also refreshing to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as George and I braved it together. Developing a sense of adventure helps us live life to the fullest — even if you sometimes wind up cold and wet. 21. Why did the writer start a “Yes Day” rule? A. To conquer George’s ski fears. B. To master new snowboarding skills. C. To encourage George to try new things. D. To win in snowboarding competitions. 22. Which of the following best describes George? A. Confident. B. Courageous. C. Positive. D. Responsible. 23. What can we learn about the writer from paragraph 4&5? A. She was eager to go in the outdoor hot tub. B. She regretted breaking the rule with George. C. She felt much better when she got out of the tub. D. She found it rewarding to brave the experience. 24. What is a suitable title for the text? A Welcoming Yes: A Family Adventure B. Family Ski Trip: Mountain Memories C. Ski Challenges: Winter Wonders D. Braving Winter: Family Unity B When you’re bored, what do you do? The answer is a no-brainer: you reach for your phone. Five minutes of doggy pictures can seem like the perfect break. But a new unpublished study has bad news. Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling more bored. To figure out the relationship between phones and boredom, the research team set up an app on the phones of 83 volunteers to keep an eye on how often they used their devices. They also asked these volunteers to keep detailed diaries at work, recording their level of tiredness and boredom. The researchers’ first discovery was no shocker. We’re on our phones a lot. Phone breaks were very frequent: in the 20 minutes following each questionnaire, volunteers picked up their phone 52 percent of the time, spending an average of around 90 seconds on it each time. Equally unsurprising was the second finding: the more tired we are, the more likely we are to reach for our phones. The real kicker was the final finding. While we look to our phones to relieve our tiredness and boredom, screen time actually seemed to increase feelings of boredom. The research team thought about the different reasons why this might be so. Shifting from work to your phone and back again may end up being more tiring in mind than it is stimulating (提神的). In other words, that baby goat video was nice, but not worth the cost to your brain in effort and concentration. Besides, picking up your phone might just serve as a reminder of all the fun and interesting things out there you could be doing if you didn’t have to fill out paperwork. This one small study can’t clearly say if either of these explanations is right, but the basic takeaway is pretty clear: A quick look at your phone is going to make your brain feel even more fried. If so, what to do instead? 25. Why did the research team set up an app on the volunteers’ phones? A. To ensure their rest time. B. To remove their boredom. C. To track their phone usage. D. To record their tiredness. 26. What do the underlined words “the real kicker” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. The most unexpected. B. The most advanced. C. The most frequent. D. The most relieving. 27. The baby goat video is mentioned in paragraph 4 to show ________. A. phones can be tiring B. phones can be inspiring C. phones can function as a reminder D. phones can benefit our paperwork 28. What might the author continue talking about? A. Why screen time is harmful. B. How to take a better break. C. Recommended online activities. D. Studies on phone addiction. C Ten years ago, when asked about popular activities for fun, many people would say going to KTV or amusement parks. However, young people now spend their free time at health clubs, or getting tuina (推拿), or even foot massage to experience traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices, such as acupuncture (针灸). A survey in 2023 by China Youth Daily showed that 93.3% of 1,000 young people have tried TCM. A TCM doctor named Ma Huifang said that many young people are coming to her for health problems like neck and back pain, and dry eyes, which used to be seniors’ problems. These issues are becoming common in young people because of bad lifestyles and too much stress. When choosing between Western medicine and TCM, young people like TCM better because it works well for their health problems. Some people say TCM is not scientific enough, but Ma thinks TCM is more accurate because it treats people based on their own needs. TCM is becoming a big part of young people’s lives. They are learning TCM skills to help themselves and others. Jin Ying, a 25-year-old student at Minzu University of China, is an enthusiast of TCM. She learned acupuncture and tuina at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. She even helped her roommate with insomnia (失眠) using ear seeds from a therapy called auricular acupoint therapy. Jin also follows the Five Elements theory in her daily life. In winter, she saves energy by not sweating too much. For her, learning TCM is about living a new way of life and understanding Chinese culture. “TCM helps young people learn about our national heritage and see it as a treasure of our culture,” Jin says. 29. How has young people changed their free time activity in the past few years? A. They have stopped going to health clubs. B. They only enjoy western medicine for the treatment. C. They now prefer going to KTV and amusement parks. D. They now spend more time joining healthy activities. 30. Why do young people prefer TCM therapies according to Ma Huifang? A. They are useful for treatments. B. They change their bad lifestyles. C. They deal with too much stress. D. They are cheaper than other methods. 31. What does the underlined word “accurate” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A Useful. B. Advanced. C. Personalized. D. Special. 32. Why does the writer mention Jin Ying? A. To show Jin Ying’s skills. B. To prove the acceptance of TCM. C. To praise Jin Ying’s kindness. D. To explain the progress of TCM. D “Using AI at work is great, but if we don’t slow down and think, it might make things bad for workers,” some senior workforce experience leaders talked about AI. They think AI can help people work better and be more creative. But they also worry that if we don’t plan well, it might make work less human. There are many ways to see how good work is done, and leaders in our study focused on the importance of creativity and hard work in creating good work. Nearly 70% of leaders we spoke to believe that AI can help workers be more creative. It gives people new ideas that make their work better. However, 42% worry that if workers depend too much on AI, they might not work as carefully as they should. Being careful means being correct, doing things completely, and having different ways of thinking to make the work really good. Perhaps the biggest worry about AI is its impact on human connection. Over a third of conversations think AI can free up time for us to have better talks and spend more time together. But not everyone is happy about this, with 41% of leaders believing AI will weaken the quality of human connections. These bosses are concerned that we might depend too much on machines, especially for important moments. Until now, what made these moments special was the personal care and understanding that come from people. They think moments without technology have a warmth and feeling that machines might not be able to give. AI is exciting, but we need to be careful and think about how it affects workers. We should focus on making AI work with people, not against them. 33. What can we learn about using AI from the first paragraph? A. It needs no planning in advance. B. It can not improve creativity at work. C. It is the only method to increase work speed. D. It might have bad influences if not carefully used. 34. What do 42% of the leaders concern about workers relying too much on AI? A. Workers will work with less care. B. Workers will become less creative. C. Workers will not complete their studies. D. Workers themselves will stop thinking. 35. How did the use of AI probably influence human connections? A. It will bring personal care and understanding. B. It will take away the warmth of human care. C. It will depend too much on human connections. D. It will strengthen the quality of human connections. 36. Who is the passage probably written for? A. Workers. B. Researchers. C. Leaders. D. Teenagers. E With digital learning gaining popularity, some students choose to learn from home using computers and the internet. They used websites and digital books instead of paper ones. But are they learning as well as they think? Studies show that reading on paper is easier to understand than reading on a screen. Anne Mangen, a literacy professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway, says reading on paper is calm and attracts our attention, unlike the reading on a screen. Experts say that while screens are good for quick news, complex texts are better on paper. They help us remember details better. A study by Lauren Singer Trakhman found that students understood the main ideas whether they read on paper or a screen, but they missed small details on screens. Reading on screens might make us read faster but not as deeply. Our brains might be getting used to quick information from digital media and not thinking carefully about what we read. Some research shows that our brains react differently to paper and screens. Reading on paper can make us feel more and understand the space around us better. So what can we do? We shouldn't stop using screens, but we should think about what we read on them. Singer Trakhman says she uses her Kindle for fun but turns to paper for serious reading. To remember what we read on screens, we can try writing down the main points by hand. It might help us remember better than typing. And sometimes, turning off our devices and reading a real book can be very nice. 37. What does Anne Mangen think of reading on paper? A. It is better for reading quick news. B. It brings peaceful reading experience. C. It provides a new adventure for readers. D. It helps to improve communication abilities. 38. Why might students miss details when reading on screens? A. Screens make the text harder to read. B. The text on screens is usually less detailed. C. Students tend to read quickly and not think deeply. D. Screens make it difficult to understand the main ideas. 39. What can be inferred from Lauren Singer Trakhman's reading habits? A. She hardly uses screens in daily reading. B. She likes using Kindle for all types of reading. C. She thinks Kindles are suitable for serious reading. D. She prefers to use paper for challenging literature. 40. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Advantages Digital Learning Brings B. Reading on Paper vs. Reading on Screens C. How Reading on Paper Shapes Students D. The Importance of Online Learning at Home 三、七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why do people travel?
