My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak and Archie. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read.
Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I regarded diving into all-text novels as a formidable undertaking. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex narratives through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. Growing older, I found myself graduating to graphic novels from childish comic books. They deal with serious topics in a more engaging manner and literally show me what was going on.
Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. While I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his novel, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit first. Thanks to Charles Dixon, I had a picture of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand J.R.R. Tolkien’s version.
From black and white strips to illustrated graphic novels, this transformation has come a long way. While my romance with books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for illustrated novels is more substantial and here to stay.
4. What can we learn about the author as a little kid?
A. He mined newspapers for knowledge. B. Comics struck him as shallow.
C. He cared little for book categories. D. Comics were his main reading joy.
5. What does the underlined word “formidable” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Discouraging. B. Rewarding. C. Entertaining. D. Enlightening.
6. What can be inferred about Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit?
A. It contains rich visual material. B. It presents a complicated plot.
C. It focuses on the latest news. D. It shapes Tolkien’s writing style.
7. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Welcome to the World of Literature B. Can’t Get Enough of Graphic Novels
C. Let Comic Books Shape Who I Am D. Find Myself through Reading Novels
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从报纸连环漫画到图画小说、再到纯文字小说的阅读历程,以及对图画小说的持久热爱。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak and Archie.(我对漫画世界初步探索,始于报纸上的连环漫画。一开始是迷上了加菲猫的冒险故事,后来又发现了《钱帕克》、《阿奇》等一系列漫画书。)”可知,作者小时候通过报纸连环漫画接触漫画世界,喜爱加菲猫的冒险故事并探索多种漫画书,漫画是他童年主要的阅读乐趣。故选D。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I regarded diving into all-text novels as a formidable undertaking. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel.(从小到大我读的都是图文并茂的书,因此一度觉得通读纯文字小说是件……。就在我寻找介于两者之间的书籍时,偶然发现了一本图画小说《Bhimayana》)”可知,作者一直读图文并茂的书,因此觉得纯文字小说是有难度、让人却步的事,才会寻找介于两者之间的书籍。“formidable”在此处表示“令人却步的、有难度的”。选项A“Discouraging”意为“令人气馁的、让人却步的”,与此相符。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his novel, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit first. Thanks to Charles Dixon, I had a picture of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand J.R.R. Tolkien’s version.(虽然小说中扣人心弦的叙事手法给我留下了深刻印象,但如果我没有先读过查尔斯・狄克逊改编的图画小说版《霍比特人》,我不确定自己是否能如此清晰地想象并享受这部纯文字作品。多亏了查尔斯・狄克逊,我对故事中的所有情节都有了画面感,这也让我更容易、更有乐趣地理解了J.R.R.托尔金的原著。)”可知,作者读了查尔斯・狄克逊的《霍比特人》后对故事有了画面感,说明这本书包含丰富的视觉素材,能帮助读者具象化情节。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及最后一段“While my romance with books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for illustrated novels is more substantial and here to stay.(虽然我对书籍喜爱仍在继续,但长远来看,我对图画小说的热爱更加深厚,且会一直延续下去。)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者对于图画小说的持续热爱。选项B“Can’t Get Enough of Graphic Novels(对图画小说爱不够)”精准概括作者的核心情感与文章主旨。故选B。
C
So, you’ve finished that dull book. You sat through the movie you paid for, super bored. Stood in a long queue for that milk tea. Paid much for the luxury handbag — expensive nonsense.
What do these have in common? They’re all examples of what economists call “sunk costs (沉没成本)”: the price you’ve already paid — in time, money, effort, suffering, for an item or an experience — holds you to them. It’s a phenomenon we all recognize. It affects our behavior in ways that can be unreasonable. But we do it.
To avoid the situation, economists tell us to make decisions based mainly on future value, not past investment. If the ongoing cost outweighs the expected benefit, one should cut their losses and walk away. It hurts, yes, but this cold, clear logic protects us from going broke.
Yet, life is rarely so neatly calculated. This purely economic view raises difficult questions: Does the value of an experience lie only in its outcome, or also in the process? A joyful journey with an ordinary goal and a painful one aimed at a splendid achievement, which one is more worthwhile?
When it comes to education, the sunk costs theory doesn’t seem applicable. Parents and teachers pour immeasurable amount of investment — love, time, hope, money — into the growth of a child. Will the child turn out the way they expect? No guarantee. If we view this through a strict cost-benefit angle, much of education can be written off as a “sunk cost.” Education is obviously different from the commercial world. A child’s growth cannot be planned like a business strategy; it unfolds like a unique and unpredictable story. We can’t dream his dreams or live his life; we can only build the stage, and light his path.
In education we have to hold onto this faith: everything we do for a child is worthwhile. Every act of love is like offering light and water to a seed; while we can’t see its roots grow underground, we know it. That child will blossom (开花) some day. Not all that has cost is sunk.
8. Which of the following best describes the examples in paragraph 1?
A. Boring but beneficial. B. Interesting but worthless.
C. Joyful and worthwhile. D. Senseless and regrettable.
9. What do economists advise us to do to avoid sunk costs?
A. Focus on the outcome. B. Ignore the future losses.
C. Calculate the past cost. D. Pursue the hidden gains.
10. What is the writer’s attitude towards the investment in education?
A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Balanced. D. Critical.
11. Why does the author write the text?
A. To promote a principle. B. To correct a misbehavior.
C. To challenge a concept. D. To present a phenomenon.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨沉没成本理论的适用场景,同时质疑其在教育领域的适用性,强调教育投入的价值。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“So, you’ve finished that dull book. You sat through the movie you paid for, super bored. Stood in a long queue for that milk tea. Paid much for the luxury handbag—expensive nonsense.(那么,你已经看完那本枯燥乏味的书了。你耐着性子看完了花钱买的电影,全程超级无聊。为了那杯奶茶排了好久的队。花大价钱买了个奢侈手袋 —— 昂贵的无用之物)”可知,这些例子都是无意义且可能让人后悔的经历。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To avoid the situation, economists tell us to make decisions based mainly on future value, not past investment.(为了避免这种情况,经济学家告诉我们,决策应主要基于未来价值,而不是过去的投资)”可知,经济学家建议我们关注结果(未来价值)以避免沉没成本的影响。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Education is obviously different from the commercial world.(教育显然与商业世界不同)”以及第六段中的“In education we have to hold onto this faith: everything we do for a child is worthwhile.(在教育中,我们必须坚守这样的信念:我们为孩子所做的一切都是值得的)”可知,作者认为教育投入与商业领域的沉没成本不同,对教育投入持支持态度。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“When it comes to education, the sunk costs theory doesn’t seem applicable.(说到教育,沉没成本理论似乎并不适用)”可知,文章先介绍沉没成本理论及经济学家的建议,随后通过提问引发思考,并指出该理论在教育领域不适用,强调教育投入的独特价值,目的是对沉没成本这一概念的挑战。故选C项。
D
Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’ re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology.
The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体) present on nociceptors — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it’s been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger?
The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the nervous system. Initially,the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as safe and controllable,transforming the initial pain into a form of“benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster ride, the perceived danger — now under our command — becomes an internal part of the pleasure.
Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate.
So, what can you do if the spice becomes overwhelming? Since capsaicin is fat- soluble,water is ineffective because it only spreads the compound. Dairy products like milk or yogurt are far better solutions — the fat and protein in them combine with the capsaicin and carry it away.
12. Why does eating chili peppers give people the burning feeling?
A. Capsaicin briefly hurts taste buds. B. Chilli peppers bring potential danger.
C. Capsaicin triggers the reaction of TRPV1. D. Chilli peppers raise the body’s temperature.
13. Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food?
A. Listening to music. B. Smoking cigarettes.
C. Exploring the Antarctic. D. Watching a horror film.
14. What does building a high spice tolerance involve?
A. Conscious efforts. B. Genetic adaptation.
C. Blocking spiciness signals. D. Keeping receptors from responding.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Capsaicin’s Trick: A False Burning Alarm B. The Spice Lover’s Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain
C. The Body’s Signal: Physical Reactions to Spice D. The Art of Endurance: Building Spice Tolerance
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文解释人们喜爱辣食的原因:辣椒素刺激神经产生灼烧感,经反复接触,大脑将其判定为可控刺激,转化为快感,还介绍了耐辣方法与解辣妙招。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体) present on nociceptors — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃.(我们从辣椒中感受到的热感源自辣椒素,这是一种植物的化学防御物质。它专门作用于TRPV1受体,该受体存在于伤害感受器(能够感知潜在有害因素,如超过42℃的高温)上)”可知,吃辣椒会让人们产生灼烧感是因为辣椒素会触发TRPV1受体的反应。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The feeling is gradually reassessed as safe and controllable, transforming the initial pain into a form of “benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster ride, the perceived danger — now under our command — becomes an internal part of the pleasure.(这种感觉逐渐被重新评估为安全且可控的,从而将最初的痛苦转化为一种“良性受虐狂”的体验。就像乘坐过山车时的刺激感一样,我们所感知到的危险——如今已处于我们的掌控之中——成为了愉悦的一部分)”可知,享受辣食的快感属于“良性受虐”——明知没有实际伤害,却因可控的“危险感”获得刺激,和看恐怖片的体验逻辑一致(恐惧但安全)。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate.(每个人的耐受度都有所不同。遗传因素会影响人体TRPV1受体对辣椒素的敏感程度。更重要的是,人们能够逐渐形成耐受性,即通过训练让身体和大脑能够更好地应对更高的辣度。随着时间的推移,这些受体自身的反应会减弱,而大脑的预测系统也会变得更加准确)”可知,增强对辛辣食物的耐受能力需要积极主动的努力。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’ re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology.(吃辛辣食物时,会出现流泪、出汗、流鼻涕等生理反应。然而,全球数以百万计的人却热衷于这种令人不适的感觉。其原因并非在于味觉,而是源于我们复杂的神经系统和心理状态)”结合本文解释人们喜爱辣食的原因:辣椒素刺激神经产生灼烧感,经反复接触,大脑将其判定为可控刺激,转化为快感,还介绍了耐辣方法与解辣妙招。可知,B选项“辣味爱好者面临的困境:在痛苦中寻求愉悦”最符合文章标题。故选B。
第二节(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。
Could Viewing Art Be the Next Public Health prescription (处方药)?
In an era characterized by burnout and scrolling, a therapeutic (疗愈性的) alternative is hanging on a gallery wall. When volunteers at London’s Courtauld Gallery stood before masterpieces, their stress and inflammation (炎症) levels dropped compared with those of volunteers viewing reproductions. ____16____
That art can lift spirits is well known. ____17____ A study by King’s College London asked participants to look at masterworks by 19th-century post-impressionists while wearing sensors. Half the group saw the originals in the gallery, half viewed copies in a lab. The results were clear: going to art galleries is good for your physical health — relieving stress and cutting heart disease risk, as well as boosting the immune system.
____18____ Earlier this summer, a team of Cambridge psychologists conducted a similar project to show how appreciating artistic beauty helps escape the “mental trappings of daily life.” Besides, a Nature Magazine’s review suggests that art can play a role in public health. And for the first time in its long history, The Lancet recently ran a photo essay showcasing how art can enhance lives.
“When you experience an artwork, you don’t just see it, but you feel it,” the art historian Katy Hessel writes. “The best thing we can do is take time with it.” Time, of course, is what we are lacking in today’s fast-paced world. ____19____ Galleries are quiet, thoughtful places. We stop scrolling and start really looking. Deeply engaging with a work of art creates “psychological distancing” and enables us to see and take pleasure what is not ourselves.
Today we are advised to exercise and eat healthily. ____20____ After all, science has spoken for this.
A. But that it calms the body is novel.
B. So we should make art more accessible to all.
C. There’s growing evidence to support that opinion.
D. Galleries bring us face to face with human genius.
E. But this seems to be key to art’s therapeutic powers.
F. Will doctors soon be prescribing a visit to a local gallery?
G. Science suggests that original art is a medicine that one can view rather than swallow.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了欣赏艺术品对身心健康产生的积极影响,并通过多项科学研究加以论证,提出了未来“艺术处方”的可能性。
【16题详解】
前文“In an era characterized by burnout and scrolling, a therapeutic alternative is hanging on a gallery wall. (在一个以倦怠和刷屏为特征的时代,一种疗愈性的替代方案正挂在美术馆的墙上。)”提出问题背景并隐喻性地提出解决方案,后文“That art can lift spirits is well known. (艺术能振奋精神是众所周知的。)”转向陈述普遍认知。空处需要一个衔接句,既承接前文的“替代方案”隐喻,又为后文的普遍认知转折做铺垫。G项“Science suggests that original art is a medicine that one can view rather than swallow. (科学表明,原作是一种可以观看而非吞服的药物。)”用“科学表明”将前文的比喻具体化为一个科学论断,同时“可以观看而非吞服的药物”与后文“能振奋精神”共同构成艺术不同层面的益处,逻辑衔接紧密。故选G。
【17题详解】
前文“That art can lift spirits is well known. (艺术能振奋精神是众所周知的。)”是普遍的精神层面认知,后文“A study by King’s College London asked participants to look at masterworks by 19th-century post-impressionists while wearing sensors. Half the group saw the originals in the gallery, half viewed copies in a lab. The results were clear: going to art galleries is good for your physical health --- relieving stress and cutting heart disease risk, as well as boosting the immune system. (伦敦国王学院的一项研究要求参与者在佩戴传感器的情况下观看19世纪后印象派大师的作品。一半人在美术馆看原作,另一半在实验室看复制品。结果很明确:去美术馆对你的身体健康有益——缓解压力、降低心脏病风险,还能增强免疫系统。)”是具体的身体益处研究。空处需要一个转折,从“精神”转向“身体”,并提示这个新发现。A项“But that it calms the body is novel. (但它能使身体平静这一点却是新颖的。)”通过“But”进行语义转折,“calms the body”与后文研究的“relieving stress... good for your physical health”直接对应,“novel”则点明这是新的发现。故选A。
【18题详解】
前文“The results were clear: going to art galleries is good for your physical health — relieving stress and cutting heart disease risk, as well as boosting the immune system. (结果很明确:去美术馆对你的身体健康有益——缓解压力、降低心脏病风险,还能增强免疫系统。)”是一项研究的结论,后文“Earlier this summer, a team of Cambridge psychologists conducted a similar project to show how appreciating artistic beauty helps escape the ‘mental trappings of daily life.’ Besides, a Nature Magazine’s review suggests that art can play a role in public health. And for the first time in its long history, The Lancet recently ran a photo essay showcasing how art can enhance lives. (今年初夏,剑桥大学的一个心理学家团队进行了一个类似的项目,以展示欣赏艺术之美如何帮助人们摆脱‘日常生活的精神困境’。此外,《自然》杂志的一篇评论也表明艺术可以在公共健康中发挥作用。在其悠久的历史中,《柳叶刀》杂志最近首次发表了一篇摄影散文,展示艺术如何提升生活。)”是多项其他证据。空处应承上启下,总结前文的观点并引出更多的证据支持。C项“There’s growing evidence to support that opinion. (有越来越多的证据支持这一观点。)”中的“that opinion”指代前文“艺术有益健康”的观点,“growing evidence”则引出后文列举的剑桥研究、《自然》杂志评论和《柳叶刀》文章,起到了自然的过渡作用。故选C。
【19题详解】
前文引用了艺术史学家的观点和作者的评论“The best thing we can do is take time with it. Time, of course, is what we are lacking in today’s fast-paced world.(我们能做的最好的事情就是花时间与它相处。当然,时间正是我们在当今快节奏世界中所缺乏的。)”强调了花时间欣赏艺术的重要性及其与现实时间匮乏之间的矛盾。后文“ Galleries are quiet, thoughtful places. We stop scrolling and start really looking. Deeply engaging with a work of art creates “psychological distancing” and enables us to see and take pleasure what is not ourselves.(美术馆是静谧、令人沉思的空间。在这里,我们不再滑动屏幕,而是真正开始凝视。深度沉浸于一件艺术作品之中,创造出一种“心理距离”,使我们得以观照并在他者中获得愉悦。)”具体描述了画廊环境和深度参与艺术带来的心理益处。由此可知,空处应点明“花时间”这一行为与艺术疗愈效果之间的关键联系。选项E“But this seems to be key to art's therapeutic powers.(但这似乎是艺术治疗力量的关键。)”中“this”明确指代前文完整句意所强调的“花时间欣赏艺术”这一核心建议,后文则是对此关键作用(即创造“心理距离”)的具体阐述,形成因果解释,衔接自然,故选E。
【20题详解】
前文“Today we are advised to exercise and eat healthily.(今天我们被建议锻炼和健康饮食。)”列举了常规的健康建议。后文“After all, science has spoken for this.(毕竟,科学已经为此说话了。)”总结指出科学为前述观点提供了依据。由此可知,空处应提出一个与常规健康建议并列的新建议,且该建议同样有科学支持。选项F“Will doctors soon be prescribing a visit to a local gallery?(医生会很快开出去当地画廊的处方吗?)”以设问形式,将“参观画廊”类比为一种可被“处方”的健康干预手段,与前文的“锻炼、健康饮食”建议相呼应,后文的“this”即指代该设问观点,表明科学已为其提供证据,逻辑合理,故选F。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给短段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完 整的短文。
I’ve been very fond of classical music since I was a kid. The soft piano melody or grand symphony always calms my nerves after a stressful school week.
My best friend Tom is totally different, he’s a big rock music fan, with loud electric guitars and heavy drums following him everywhere.
We’d never argued about music tastes before, but last Friday evening, things got heated.
We sat on the neighborhood park lawn, passing headphones back and forth. After Tom listened to my favorite Chopin nocturne (肖邦夜曲), he shrugged: “It’s okay, but way too slow, where’s the energy?”
I frowned, snatching the headphones back. “Energy? Your rock music is just noise! Singers shout like they’re in pain, and instruments hurt my ears,” I said sharply. Tom’s eyes widened, leaning forward with a raised voice: “You don’t get it! Rock is passion, saying how you feel freely! You’re stuck in an old-fashioned circle, scared to try new things!”
Angry, my cheeks burned. “Old-fashioned? Classical music has real artistry, not just screaming and hitting!” I stood up, kicking a pebble hard. Tom jumped up too, fists clenched: “How dare you disrespect what I love? You’re my best friend, I thought you’d understand!” Before I could reply, he turned and stormed off, backpack swinging. I yelled after him: “Fine! Don’t talk to me if you’re unreasonable!” But as he disappeared around the corner, a twinge of regret flickered, I quickly pushed it away, still angry.
For three days, we didn’t speak. We passed in the school hallway without a glance, and group chats went silent. I missed our jokes and after-school walks, but was too stubborn to apologize. Deep down, I knew I’d gone too far.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

I realized my mistake.

With a nervous heart, I pressed the doorbell of Tom’s house.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I realized my mistake. As I sat alone listening to Chopin that evening, his nocturne’s gentle flow reminded me of our friendship’s harmony. My harsh words echoed in my mind — calling rock “noise” was unfair. Music, like friendship, shouldn’t be judged by its volume but by the feelings it carries. Tom’s passion for rock mirrored my love for classics; neither deserved disrespect. Swallowing my pride, I grabbed my phone and typed, “Can we talk tomorrow? I owe you an apology.”
With a nervous heart, I pressed the doorbell of Tom’s house. The door swung open, revealing Tom’s hesitant face. Before I could speak, he blurted, “I’m sorry too! I shouldn’t have stormed off.” Relief washed over me. “No, I was wrong to insult your music,” I admitted. He grinned, pulling out his headphones. “Wanna try my favorite rock song? I’ll explain why it moves me.” As the energetic chords filled my ears, I finally heard the passion he cherished — and understood that true friendship harmonizes different rhythms.

My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips (连环漫画) in newspapers. It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures, and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak and Archie. While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper, this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read.
Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books, I regarded diving into all-text novels as a formidable undertaking. As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between, I came across a copy of Bhimayana — a graphic novel. It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design. Plus, understanding complex narratives through pictures was relatively easier and more fun. Growing older, I found myself graduating to graphic novels from childish comic books. They deal with serious topics in a more engaging manner and literally show me what was going on.
Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. While I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his novel, I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Charles Dixon’s The Hobbit first. Thanks to Charles Dixon, I had a picture of whatever had happened, and that made it easier and more fun to understand J.R.R. Tolkien’s version.
From black and white strips to illustrated graphic novels, this transformation has come a long way. While my romance with books is still ongoing, in the long run, my love for illustrated novels is more substantial and here to stay.

So, you’ve finished that dull book. You sat through the movie you paid for, super bored. Stood in a long queue for that milk tea. Paid much for the luxury handbag — expensive nonsense.
What do these have in common? They’re all examples of what economists call “sunk costs (沉没成本)”: the price you’ve already paid — in time, money, effort, suffering, for an item or an experience — holds you to them. It’s a phenomenon we all recognize. It affects our behavior in ways that can be unreasonable. But we do it.
To avoid the situation, economists tell us to make decisions based mainly on future value, not past investment. If the ongoing cost outweighs the expected benefit, one should cut their losses and walk away. It hurts, yes, but this cold, clear logic protects us from going broke.
Yet, life is rarely so neatly calculated. This purely economic view raises difficult questions: Does the value of an experience lie only in its outcome, or also in the process? A joyful journey with an ordinary goal and a painful one aimed at a splendid achievement, which one is more worthwhile?
When it comes to education, the sunk costs theory doesn’t seem applicable. Parents and teachers pour immeasurable amount of investment — love, time, hope, money — into the growth of a child. Will the child turn out the way they expect? No guarantee. If we view this through a strict cost-benefit angle, much of education can be written off as a “sunk cost.” Education is obviously different from the commercial world. A child’s growth cannot be planned like a business strategy; it unfolds like a unique and unpredictable story. We can’t dream his dreams or live his life; we can only build the stage, and light his path.
In education we have to hold onto this faith: everything we do for a child is worthwhile. Every act of love is like offering light and water to a seed; while we can’t see its roots grow underground, we know it. That child will blossom (开花) some day. Not all that has cost is sunk.
8. Which of the following best describes the examples in paragraph 1?
A. Boring but beneficial. B. Interesting but worthless.
C. Joyful and worthwhile. D. Senseless and regrettable.
9. What do economists advise us to do to avoid sunk costs?
A. Focus on the outcome. B. Ignore the future losses.
C. Calculate the past cost. D. Pursue the hidden gains.
10. What is the writer’s attitude towards the investment in education?
A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Balanced. D. Critical.
11. Why does the author write the text?
A. To promote a principle. B. To correct a misbehavior.
C. To challenge a concept. D. To present a phenomenon.
D
Tearing up, sweating, nose running and other bodily functions are all signs when you’ re eating spicy foods. Yet, millions of people worldwide actively seek out this burning feeling. The explanation lies not in our sense of taste, but in our complex nervous system and psychology.
The heat we perceive from chili peppers originates from capsaicin (辣椒素), a compound that acts as the plant’s chemical defense. It specifically targets TRPV1, a receptor (受体) present on nociceptors — the special nerve cells that detect potentially harmful factors, such as heat above 42℃. When activated, these cells trigger an instant alarm response, causing the body to react as if it’s been burned. This begs the question: why would we enjoy a feeling signaling potential danger?
The enjoyment of spicy food is learned through adaptation of the nervous system. Initially,the brain misinterprets the capsaicin-caused heat as a potential threat, triggering an alarm-like response. Through repeated exposure, however, it receives consistent feedback indicating no actual tissue damage occurs. The feeling is gradually reassessed as safe and controllable,transforming the initial pain into a form of“benign masochism”. Much like the thrill of a roller coaster ride, the perceived danger — now under our command — becomes an internal part of the pleasure.
Individual tolerance varies. Genetics can influence how sensitive one’s TRPV1 receptors are to capsaicin. More importantly, people can gradually build up a tolerance, essentially training their bodies and brains to handle higher levels of spiciness. The receptors themselves become less responsive over time, and the brain’s predictive system becomes more accurate.
So, what can you do if the spice becomes overwhelming? Since capsaicin is fat- soluble,water is ineffective because it only spreads the compound. Dairy products like milk or yogurt are far better solutions — the fat and protein in them combine with the capsaicin and carry it away.
12. Why does eating chili peppers give people the burning feeling?
A. Capsaicin briefly hurts taste buds. B. Chilli peppers bring potential danger.
C. Capsaicin triggers the reaction of TRPV1. D. Chilli peppers raise the body’s temperature.
13. Which experience is most similar to enjoying spicy food?
A. Listening to music. B. Smoking cigarettes.
C. Exploring the Antarctic. D. Watching a horror film.
14. What does building a high spice tolerance involve?
A. Conscious efforts. B. Genetic adaptation.
C. Blocking spiciness signals. D. Keeping receptors from responding.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Capsaicin’s Trick: A False Burning Alarm B. The Spice Lover’s Dilemma: Pleasure in Pain
C. The Body’s Signal: Physical Reactions to Spice D. The Art of Endurance: Building Spice Tolerance

Could Viewing Art Be the Next Public Health prescription (处方药)?
In an era characterized by burnout and scrolling, a therapeutic (疗愈性的) alternative is hanging on a gallery wall. When volunteers at London’s Courtauld Gallery stood before masterpieces, their stress and inflammation (炎症) levels dropped compared with those of volunteers viewing reproductions. ____16____
That art can lift spirits is well known. ____17____ A study by King’s College London asked participants to look at masterworks by 19th-century post-impressionists while wearing sensors. Half the group saw the originals in the gallery, half viewed copies in a lab. The results were clear: going to art galleries is good for your physical health — relieving stress and cutting heart disease risk, as well as boosting the immune system.
____18____ Earlier this summer, a team of Cambridge psychologists conducted a similar project to show how appreciating artistic beauty helps escape the “mental trappings of daily life.” Besides, a Nature Magazine’s review suggests that art can play a role in public health. And for the first time in its long history, The Lancet recently ran a photo essay showcasing how art can enhance lives.
“When you experience an artwork, you don’t just see it, but you feel it,” the art historian Katy Hessel writes. “The best thing we can do is take time with it.” Time, of course, is what we are lacking in today’s fast-paced world. ____19____ Galleries are quiet, thoughtful places. We stop scrolling and start really looking. Deeply engaging with a work of art creates “psychological distancing” and enables us to see and take pleasure what is not ourselves.
Today we are advised to exercise and eat healthily. ____20____ After all, science has spoken for this.
A. But that it calms the body is novel.
B. So we should make art more accessible to all.
C. There’s growing evidence to support that opinion.
D. Galleries bring us face to face with human genius.
E. But this seems to be key to art’s therapeutic powers.
F. Will doctors soon be prescribing a visit to a local gallery?
G. Science suggests that original art is a medicine that one can view rather than swallow.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给短段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完 整的短文。
I’ve been very fond of classical music since I was a kid. The soft piano melody or grand symphony always calms my nerves after a stressful school week.
My best friend Tom is totally different, he’s a big rock music fan, with loud electric guitars and heavy drums following him everywhere.
We’d never argued about music tastes before, but last Friday evening, things got heated.
We sat on the neighborhood park lawn, passing headphones back and forth. After Tom listened to my favorite Chopin nocturne (肖邦夜曲), he shrugged: “It’s okay, but way too slow, where’s the energy?”
I frowned, snatching the headphones back. “Energy? Your rock music is just noise! Singers shout like they’re in pain, and instruments hurt my ears,” I said sharply. Tom’s eyes widened, leaning forward with a raised voice: “You don’t get it! Rock is passion, saying how you feel freely! You’re stuck in an old-fashioned circle, scared to try new things!”
Angry, my cheeks burned. “Old-fashioned? Classical music has real artistry, not just screaming and hitting!” I stood up, kicking a pebble hard. Tom jumped up too, fists clenched: “How dare you disrespect what I love? You’re my best friend, I thought you’d understand!” Before I could reply, he turned and stormed off, backpack swinging. I yelled after him: “Fine! Don’t talk to me if you’re unreasonable!” But as he disappeared around the corner, a twinge of regret flickered, I quickly pushed it away, still angry.
For three days, we didn’t speak. We passed in the school hallway without a glance, and group chats went silent. I missed our jokes and after-school walks, but was too stubborn to apologize. Deep down, I knew I’d gone too far.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I realized my mistake.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With a nervous heart, I pressed the doorbell of Tom’s house.
