The concept of home varies from person to person. For some, it's a physical place; For others, it's a feeling of belonging. I used to think home was simply the house 29 I grew up. However, a study abroad experience completely changed my 30 .
When I first arrived in a foreign country, everything was 31 . The language, the food, even the way people greeted each other was different. I lived in a comfortable dormitory, but it never felt like home. I often found myself 32 for the familiar sights and sounds of my hometown.
Months passed, and I gradually 33 . I made friends from all over the world. We shared stories, laughed together, and supported each other through difficulties. One evening, as we were cooking a meal together, each contributing a dish from our own country, I had a sudden realization. The warmth and laughter filling the small kitchen, the blend of 34 smells, and the sense of being accepted – this felt like home. It wasn't about the four walls or the location, it was about the connection and 35 I shared with these people.
This experience taught me that home can be 36 . It's not necessarily a fixed point on a map. It can be found in moments of human connection, in places where you feel understood and valued. Sometimes, home is carried within you, in the 37 and values you hold.
I also understood why my parents, who had moved cities several times, always said, "Home is where your family is." They had 38 the essence of it long ago. For them, home was wherever they could be together, creating a shared space of love and security.
Now, back in my country, I live in a different city. My old house is 39 by another family. Yet, I don't feel homeless. I've learned to create a sense of home 40 . I fill my new apartment with photos of my international friends. The smell of my favorite spices cooking on the stove 41 me of those shared kitchen moments abroad.
I've come to believe that the search for home is partly the search for oneself. We build homes not just with bricks, but with experiences, relationships, and the pieces of our identity we gather along life's journey. The world is full of 42 waiting to make you feel at home, if only you are open to the 43 .

quiet find break task overcome start silence late list until hard
Do you often put off doing your homework or cleaning your room? This habit is called procrastination (拖延症). Many people procrastinate, but there are ways to 44 it.
One simple method is to break a big 45 into smaller, easier steps. For example, if you have a big report to write, don't think, "I must write 10 pages." Think, "I will write one paragraph now." Starting is often the 46 part. Once you begin, it gets easier.
Another helpful tip is to use a timer. Set it for 25 minutes and focus on your work 47 the timer rings. Then, take a short 5-minute 48 . This method, called the Pomodoro Technique, can help you stay focused.
It's also important to remove distractions. Find a 49 place to work. Put your phone on 50 mode or in another room. Tell yourself you can check it 51 .
Sometimes we procrastinate because a task feels boring or difficult. Try 52 . the fun parts or connect it to your goals. For example, doing math problems can be boring, but think about how good you'll feel when you understand them and get a better grade.
Don't wait for the "perfect time" or to "feel like it." That moment might never come. Just 53 , even if you don't feel ready.
Making a to-do 54 can also give you a clear plan. Cross off each item as you finish it. Seeing your progress feels great and motivates you to keep going.
Remember: everyone procrastinates sometimes. The key is to notice when you're doing it and gently guide yourself back to work.

A)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
"Failure is the mother of success." We've all heard this saying, but what does it really mean? In school and life, we are often afraid to fail. We want to get good grades, win games, and do everything perfectly.
However, many successful people say that their failures taught them the most.
Think about learning to ride a bicycle. You probably fell down many times before you could ride smoothly. Each fall taught you how to balance better. The same is true for other skills. Making mistakes is a natural part of learning. When you fail at something, it shows you what doesn't work. This helps you find a better way.
Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb. He said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." His attitude turned failure into a step toward success.
So, how can we have a healthier attitude toward failure? First, see it as feedback, not as a final judgment. A low grade on a test doesn't mean you're stupid. It means you need to review certain topics. Second, ask yourself, "What can I learn from this?" Instead of feeling bad, look for the lesson. Third, don't be afraid to try new things because you might fail. The most interesting experiences often come from taking risks.
Of course, this doesn't mean we should aim to fail. We should always try our best. But when failure happens, we shouldn't let it define us or stop us from trying again. Remember, every expert was once a beginner who wasn't afraid to make mistakes. Embrace the challenges, learn from the setbacks (挫折), and keep moving forward. That's how failure truly becomes the mother of success.

“Study with me” live streams (直播)are becoming a popular trend among students worldwide. In these streams, broadcasters simply film themselves studying for hours, often with a timer showing how long they’ve been focused. Viewers join to study “together” virtually, finding motivation in the shared quiet focus
and the visual of someone else working hard.
Lily, a high school student and a viewer of such streams, says, “It helps with my loneliness. During exam weeks, studying alone in my room feels isolating. Having this digital companion, even if we don’t talk, makes me feel part of a community. It also holds me accountable – I don’t want to be the one slacking off while everyone else is working.”
However, psychologists offer a word of caution. Dr. Chen points out, “While it can be a useful tool for motivation, it’s important to understand why you need it. If it’s purely for companionship, that’s one thing. But if you find you cannot focus at all without this external pressure, it might mask deeper issues with self-discipline or anxiety. The goal should be to internalize(内化)that focus, not to always depend on an outside source.”
Moreover, the trend has sparked a debate about performance. Some streams feature perfectly organized desks and aesthetically pleasing stationery, which can unintentionally create pressure or feelings of inadequacy among viewers. “It shouldn’t become a competition about who has the prettier study setup or who can study the longest without a break,” reminds Dr. Chen. “The core value is the act of learning itself.”
( )59. What is the main function of a “study with me” live stream?
A.To teach specific subjects to viewers.
B.To provide a virtual study companion and create a focused atmosphere.
C.To showcase the broadcaster’s excellent grades and study methods.
D.To sell stationery and study tools to students.
( )60. Why does Lily find these live streams helpful?
A.Because they reduce her feeling of loneliness and increase her sense of accountability.
B.Because she can ask the broadcaster questions directly.
C.Because they guarantee she will get better grades.
D.Because they are more entertaining than studying by herself.
( )61. What is Dr. Chen’s primary concern regarding over-reliance on these streams?
A.They are a waste of electricity and internet data.
B.They might prevent students from developing internal self-discipline.
C.They are always broadcast by students with poor grades.
D.They distract students with their beautiful visuals.
( )62. What potential negative effect is mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.They may lead to cheating during exams.
B.They often contain inappropriate advertisements.
C.They could replace traditional classroom teaching entirely.
D.They might turn studying into a performance, causing unnecessary pressure.

In a small village in Guizhou, Grandma Li, 78, is a guardian of traditional Miao embroidery(苗绣). Her skilled hands can create breathtaking patterns that tell ancient stories. For decades, she worried this art would vanish, as fewer young people showed interest. That changed when her granddaughter, Xiao Wen, returned from university.
Xiao Wen, majoring in digital media, saw not a fading craft, but a cultural treasure waiting to be shared. She started a social media account. Instead of just posting pictures, she livestreams Grandma Li’s embroidery process. Xiao Wen explains the meaning behind each pattern, the stories they represent, and the complex techniques involved. She also shows how these embroidery patterns can be adapted into modern accessories like bag charms and phone cases.
The response was overwhelming. Orders from across the country flooded in, not just for finished pieces but for DIY kits designed by Xiao Wen. More importantly, several young villagers, seeing the potential, have started learning from Grandma Li. “I never thought my old skills could connect with so many people, especially the young,” Grandma Li says, her eyes crinkling with a smile. “Now my fingers are busy, and my heart is full.”
This story is an example of how technology and youthful innovation(创新) can breathe new life into intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产). It’s not about changing the core of the tradition, but about finding new channels and contexts to make it relevant and sustainable. The embroidery patterns remain the same, but the way they reach the world has been transformed, ensuring that Grandma Li’s stitches continue to tell their stories for generations to come.
( )63. What was Grandma Li’s main worry before her granddaughter’s involvement(参与)?
A.Her eyesight was failing for detailed work.
B.The materials for embroidery were too expensive.
C.The traditional Miao embroidery skills might die out.
D.Her products had no market in the modern world.
( )64. How did Xiao Wen help revitalize(振兴) the embroidery tradition?
A.By changing the traditional patterns to modern designs.
B.By using social media to showcase the craft’s story and create modern products.
C.By opening a physical store in a big city.
D.By teaching Grandma Li how to use digital design software.
( )65. Besides economic gain, what was an important result of Xiao Wen’s project ?
A.Grandma Li became a social media celebrity.
B.The village received government funding.
C.Some young people in the village began learning the craft.
D.The price of traditional embroidery doubled.
( )66. What does the phrase “breathe new life into” in the last paragraph most likely mean?
A.To replace something old completely. B.To revive or renew something.
C.To criticize something traditional. D.To make something easier to do.
( )67. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Traditional crafts are outdated and should be replaced.
B.Young people are not interested in their cultural heritage.
C.Technology can be a powerful tool to protect and promote traditional culture.
D.Livestreaming is the only way to save traditional arts.

With the rise of artificial intelligence(人工智能), chatbot companions have become a new trend among teenagers. These AI programs, like Replika or Woebot, are designed to simulate conversation and offer emotional support. Users can talk to them about anything—school stress, friendship troubles, or just their day—and receive instant, judgment-free responses.
For some students, like 15-year-old Leo, these bots are a safe space. "It's easier to talk to my chatbot than to my parents sometimes," he says. "It never gets tired or tells me I'm overreacting(反应过激)." His chatbot, which he named "Echo," sends him encouraging messages before tests and reminds him to drink water.
However, psychologists like Dr. Anna Carter express her worries. "While AI can provide temporary comfort, it cannot replace the complex emotional growth that comes from human relationships," she explains. Real friendships involve empathy, shared experiences, and sometimes conflict and resolution—things an AI, which follows pre-set algorithms(预设算法), cannot truly offer. Relying too much on a chatbot might make it harder for teens to practice essential social skills, such as reading facial expressions or dealing with disagreements.
The key, experts suggest, is balance. A chatbot can be a helpful tool for organizing thoughts or practicing how to express feelings. But it should not become a crutch that isolates users from the real world. The goal of any technology should be to support, not replace, the human connections that help us grow.
( )68. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The history of artificial intelligence.
B. The benefits and risks of teenage students using chatbot companions.
C. How to build a personal chatbot.
D. A story about a boy named Leo and his best friend.
( )69. What does the word "them" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Teenagers. B. Chatbot companions. C. Parents. D. Psychologists.
( )70. Why does Leo find it easier to talk to his chatbot sometimes?
A. Because it gives him homework answers.
B. Because it is a real person online.
C. Because it offers judgment-free and tireless responses.
D. Because it can solve all his problems.
( )71. What is Dr. Anna Carter's main worry?
A. Chatbots are too expensive for teenagers.
B. Chatbots might prevent teens from developing important social skills.
C. Chatbots will soon become smarter than humans.
D. Teenagers will use chatbots to cheat on tests.
( )72. What is the author's likely suggestion for teenagers using chatbots?
A. Stop using them immediately because they are dangerous.
B. Use them as a tool for support but maintain real human connections.
C. Use them to replace friends you don't get along with.
D. Only use chatbots designed for doing homework.

Stress is a normal part of life, especially for students facing exams and social pressures. While a little stress can be motivating, too much can be harmful. Learning to manage it is a key life skill. Here are some strategies beyond just “taking a deep breath.”
First, identify your stress signals. Does your neck get tense? Do you get a headache or become angry easily?73 This self-awareness allows you to intervene (干预) early.
Next, practice “time blocking.” Instead of a long to-do list, divide your day into specific and single tasks. For example, “3:00-4:00 PM: Math homework.”74 This reduces anxiety about the mountain of work and increases focus.
Another effective method is physical activity. It doesn’t have to be full exercise. A 10-minute walk, some stretching, or dancing to your favorite song can release endorphins(内啡肽), which are natural mood lifters. 75 Don’t underestimate the power of digital detox. Constant notifications are a major source of low-grade stress. Schedule short periods where you silence your phone and close unnecessary browser tabs. 76
Finally, develop a “growth mindset” towards challenges. View a difficult project not as a threat, but as an opportunity to learn and improve. Remind yourself, “This is hard, but I can figure it out with effort and strategy.”77 Talk to a friend, family member, or school counselor. Sharing your worries can make them feel smaller and less intimidating.
Remember, managing stress isn’t about eliminating it completely. It’s about developing a toolbox of strategies to prevent it from overwhelming you, allowing you to face challenges with greater resilience and clarity.
A. It shifts your mood out of “fight or flight” mode.
B. Knowing your personal warning signs is the first step.
C. This will reduce the fear of failure associated with stress.
D. Stress is always bad for your health and should be avoided.
E. You will find you finish tasks more effectively.
F. If stress feels unmanageable, seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
G. They are just trying to get your money.
73. ______ 74. ______ 75. ______ 76. ______77. ______

Li: I see. Disagreements in teamwork are quite common. 79
Alex: Maybe you're right. I was so focused on getting my point that I might not have listened to others carefully enough.

Alex: Listing pros and cons... That sounds like a good way to avoid emotional arguments. I'll suggest that at our next meeting.
