B
I’m still amazed I didn’t drop dead from awkwardness during my first solo (独自的) travel experience. As a 20-year-old, I booked an unplanned trip to Darwin in Australia. I didn’t want to go alone, but none of my friends had the time or money to go with me.
Everything went wrong from the start. Poor planning landed me in a shared room with two German men who didn’t speak English. On a guided tour of Kakadu National Park, I fell for every joke my Australian guide played on me. Dining alone was the worst. I felt like a loser when I requested a table for one. I was certain everyone was watching me, wondering if I was single, or simply friendless.
It turned out someone was watching me. During my last solo supper in Australia, a British woman came over. “I’m sorry, but I just have to say something,” she said. “I think you’re unbelievably brave. I’ve seen you around town this week and you look like you’re having so much fun. I wish I had the courage to travel on my own like you.”
It took a while for her words to really hit me, but during my next 21 years of traveling solo, I heard people express the same feeling again and again.
I became a solo traveler out of necessity, rather than choice: As a travel writer I spend a lot of time on my own. Also, as my friends got busy with their own lives, I discovered I had to travel solo if I wanted to travel at all. I quickly learned to love it, though — and now, I have complete freedom to decide what to do and when to do it. Over time, I’ve gained a strong sense of independence, and even learned to appreciate loneliness.
4. What difficulty did the author meet in Darwin?
A. Contacting friends. B. Ordering food at restaurants.
C. Finding a travel guide. D. Communicating with roommates.
5. How did the woman feel about the author?
A. Appreciative. B. Pitiful. C. Doubtful. D. Curious.
6. What made the author fall in love with solo travel?
A. Personal growth. B. Work requirements.
C. Strangers’ praise. D. Friends’ encouragement.
7. What does the author want to express in the passage?
A. A detailed plan matters. B. Loneliness makes us complete.
C. Travelling alone is worth a try. D. Solo travel is for the independent.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Poor planning landed me in a shared room with two German men who didn’t speak English. (计划不周让我和两个不会说英语的德国男人住在一个房间里)”可知,作者在达尔文遇到的困难是和室友沟通不畅。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I think you’re unbelievably brave. I’ve seen you around town this week and you look like you’re having so much fun. I wish I had the courage to travel on my own like you. (我觉得你非常勇敢。这周我在镇上见过你,你看起来玩得很开心。我希望我能像你一样有独自旅行的勇气)”可知,这位女士对作者是感激、欣赏的。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“I quickly learned to love it, though — and now, I have complete freedom to decide what to do and when to do it. Over time, I’ve gained a strong sense of independence, and even learned to appreciate loneliness. (不过,我很快就学会了爱上它——现在,我有了完全的自由来决定做什么以及什么时候做。随着时间的推移,我获得了强烈的独立感,甚至学会了欣赏孤独)”可知,个人成长让作者爱上了独自旅行。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者独自旅行的经历,一开始觉得尴尬,后来慢慢爱上独自旅行,获得了独立感等,整体想表达独自旅行值得一试。故选C项。

Researchers in Switzerland recently taught the one-armed, four-legged ANYmal search and rescue robot to play badminton against a human. This is far from the first time robots have been trained to play sports. They’ve run marathons, skied and played ping pong. There’s even a football RoboCup.
However, it’s not all fun and games. “Sports require skills,” says D’Andrea, a professor in robotics and Al. “If you want to create robots that have the ability to deal with the physical environment, you can use sports as a way of training.” The skills can then be put to work in environments that are too dull, dirty, or dangerous for humans. Sports also catch people’s attention and serve as an interesting way to show new technological advances.
Though the skills robots learn from sports are mostly used in factories or dangerous jobs, the technology is already becoming a big part of sports themselves. For example, technologies like electronic line-calling (ELC) are taking the place of line judges in tennis games.
However, there’s doubt whether this improves the viewer experience. For the fans, the joy of sports is that you never know what will happen. If a robot tennis player takes the field, it might attract people’s attention at first but, after a while, would anyone want to watch it? “People enjoy watching sports because they connect with the athletes. Anything that lets robots play instead of these athletes is not going to be a success,” says D’Andrea.
The same is likely true for anything where human’s feelings play a central part. For over twenty years, the Japanese government has spent billions in developing robots for elderly people in care homes. But the use has been low. So far, it has shown that the robots didn’t alleviate the work for carers but create more.
There’s a difference between pushing what tech can do and applying those tools in the wrong places. So, for now, sports people can rest easy. “I think we have to be careful that we don’t go too far just to save time and effort,” says D’Andrea. “I would ask the question: why do we want to take the place of people?”
8. Why are sports used to train robots?
A. To test robots’ sporting ability.
B. To improve athletes’ sports skills.
C. To show an interesting way for people.
D. To develop skills for real-world tasks.
9. What makes viewer experience successful?
A. Match results.
B. The athletes the fans love.
C. Athletes’efforts.
D. The skills.
10. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Arrange. B. Stress.
C. Reduce. D. Change.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Robot Athletes? All for Fun!
B. Should Robots Take the Sports Field?
C. Sports Robots: the Wrong Thing
D. ANYmal: Robots for Dangerous Jobs
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章探讨了机器人运动训练的实际用途及其在体育和生活中的应用,分析了机器人替代人类运动员可能带来的问题,并提出了对技术应用的反思。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““If you want to create robots that have the ability to deal with the physical environment, you can use sports as a way of training.” The skills can then be put to work in environments that are too dull, dirty, or dangerous for humans. (“如果你想创造出能够应对物理环境的机器人,你可以将运动作为一种训练方式。”这些技能随后可以被应用到对人类来说太枯燥、太肮脏或太危险的环境中)”可知,运动被用来训练机器人是为了发展机器人应对现实世界环境的技能。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“For the fans, the joy of sports is that you never know what will happen. If a robot tennis player takes the field, it might attract people’s attention at first but, after a while, would anyone want to watch it? “People enjoy watching sports because they connect with the athletes. Anything that lets robots play instead of these athletes is not going to be a success,” says D’Andrea.(对球迷而言,体育的魅力在于你永远不知道下一秒会发生什么。如果一个机器人网球选手上场,起初或许能吸引人们的注意,但过一段时间后,还有人想看吗?“人们喜欢观看体育比赛,是因为他们能与运动员产生共鸣。任何用机器人取代这些运动员的做法都不会成功,”D’Andrea 表示。)”可推知,观众能体验到成功是因为他们能与运动员产生共鸣,源于他们喜爱的运动员。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“So far, it has shown that the robots didn’t alleviate the work for carers but create more. (到目前为止,研究表明机器人并没有alleviate护理人员的工作,反而增加了工作量)”可知,机器人是加重了护理人员的工作量,不是减轻工作量,所以alleviate意为“减轻”,与“Reduce”意思一致。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章开篇提到机器人被训练参加体育运动,第二段指出这主要是为了发展应对物理环境的技能,但随后第三至第五段讨论了机器人技术已经进入体育领域(如电子司线)及其带来的问题——观众喜欢的是运动员而非机器人,日本护理机器人的应用也未能减轻工作负担。最后一段中D’Andrea总结说“we have to be careful that we don’t go too far just to save time and effort (我们必须小心,不要仅仅为了节省时间和精力而走得太远)”,并提出“why do we want to take the place of people? (为什么我们要取代人?)”。由此推知,文章的核心议题是探讨机器人是否应该进入体育领域。故B项“Should Robots Take the Sports Field? (机器人应该进入体育赛场吗?)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
D
A study, published in Nature Ageing on 10 November, suggests that people who speak more than one language are half as likely to show signs of quicker biological brain ageing as those who speak just one language.
Earlier research has suggested that speaking more languages can improve brain abilities such as memory and attention, which promotes brain health as we get older. But many of these studies depend on small sample (样本) sizes and use unscientific methods of measuring ageing, which leads to results that do not agree with each other and can not be applied to broader groups.
In this study, the researchers explored the connection between multilingualism (多语言使用) and healthy ageing in 86,000 healthy participants (参与者) aged between 51 and 90 across 27 European countries. For each participant, they determined the biobehavioural age gap, the difference between their chronological age — the number of years they have been alive — and their ‘predicted’ age, which considers various factors, such as lifestyle, health, education level and so on. A high biobehavioural age gap can be a sign that someone is ageing particularly fast — or slowly. The researchers then compared participants’ biobehavioural age gaps with the number of languages they spoke, which was based on self-reporting and therefore didn’t consider the level of language.
The researchers found that people who spoke only one language were twice as likely to have a high biobehavioural age gap as those who spoke two or more languages. One more language reduced the risk of speeded-up ageing.
“People have not always agreed on the effects of multilingualism on ageing, but I don’t think there has been a study of this scale (规模) before, which seems to prove them quite decisively,” says scientist Christos. “It used a really large, mixed sample from many places and that allowed them to control for a number of factors, like people’s background and wealth.” Future research should include more different populations outside Europe, he adds.
12. What is the problem with the earlier studies?
A. They use limited study methods. B. They choose a narrow age group.
C. They fail to apply results to groups. D. They show results that do not match.
13. What can we learn about the "biobehavioural age gap"?
A. It suggests ageing speed. B. It relates to language level.
C. It is reported by the participants. D. It is decided by one’s actual age.
14. What’s the major finding of the study?
A. Poor lifestyle doubles ageing speed.
B. Brain health affects language learning.
C. Multilingualism connects with education.
D. Learning more languages slows brain ageing.
15. Which statement might Christos agree with?
A. People do not agree on the findings.
B. Earlier studies offered decisive results.
C. People from other areas should be studied.
D. Other language factors need to be explored.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍《自然·衰老》的一项研究发现多语言使用者大脑生理快速老化的概率更低,还说明早期相关研究的不足、本次研究方法及学者的后续研究建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But many of these studies depend on small sample sizes and use unscientific methods of measuring ageing, which leads to results that do not agree with each other and can not be applied to broader groups. (但这些研究中许多都依赖小样本量,且使用不科学的衰老测量方法,这导致研究结果相互矛盾,也无法应用于更广泛的人群。)”可知,早期研究的问题是得出的结果并不匹配。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A high biobehavioural age gap can be a sign that someone is ageing particularly fast — or slowly. (较高的生物行为年龄差可能表明一个人的衰老速度特别快,或者特别慢。)”可知,生物行为年龄差能够反映出人的衰老速度。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A study, published in Nature Ageing on 10 November, suggests that people who speak more than one language are half as likely to show signs of quicker biological brain ageing as those who speak just one language. (11月10日发表在《自然·衰老》杂志上的一项研究表明,会说多种语言的人出现大脑生理快速老化迹象的概率是只会说一种语言的人的一半。)”以及第四段中的“The researchers found that people who spoke only one language were twice as likely to have a high biobehavioural age gap as those who spoke two or more languages. One more language reduced the risk of speeded-up ageing. (研究人员发现,只会说一种语言的人出现较高生物行为年龄差的概率是会说两种及以上语言的人的两倍。多掌握一种语言会降低加速衰老的风险。)”可知,这项研究的主要发现是学习更多语言能减缓大脑老化。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Future research should include more different populations outside Europe, he adds.(他补充说,未来的研究应该纳入更多欧洲以外的不同人群。)”可知,克里斯托斯认为应该对其他地区的人群展开研究。故选C项。

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。
Life as a student can be non-stop: homework, exams, and responsibilities often take over, and the things that truly light you up get pushed aside. When that happens, try spending some quiet time alone and ask yourself: What did I love doing as a kid that made time fly? ____16____ It’s simple, but it’s a good place to start rediscovering your hobbies and interests.
Have you ever been so into a game, drawing, or music that you completely lost track of time? That’s what is called the “flow state”. ____17____ I might find it on my roller skates, while you might find it through basketball or writing stories. When you enter this state, it lifts your general happiness.
Even so, many of us feel bad for taking time for hobbies. We’re often pressured to live a certain way: work hard, achieve measurable success, and always stay busy. However, if you keep pushing yourself without a break, you’ll finally run out. ____18____ But it gets easier over time. Having a hobby isn’t a waste of time — it’s a way to renew your energy.
The good news is, you don’t need hours of free time to enjoy your hobbies. If what you love isn’t something you can do during the day, look for tiny moments of joy. ____19____ You could also play basketball for ten minutes after school. These small breaks become little islands of peace in a busy student life.
____20____ Start small, stay gentle with yourself, and remember: this isn’t selfish — it’s self-care. Being calm, happy, and at peace is your right, as a human being.
A. So, make time to do what you love.
B. You could read a few pages before bed.
C. The path to it, though, is different for everyone.
D. You may realize how much fun you have missed.
E. Learning to feel comfortable caring for yourself takes time.
F. This state of mind is not as difficult to achieve as you might think.
G. Take a pen and paper, and note down what makes you feel most alive.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. B 20. A
【解析】

(这很简单,但却是重新发现你的爱好和兴趣的一个好起点)”评价这个方法,G选项“Take a pen and paper, and note down what makes you feel most alive. (拿起纸和笔,记下那些让你感觉最有活力的东西)”给出了自问后的具体行动,承上启下,符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
上文“That’s what is called the “flow state”. (这就是所谓的“心流状态”)”介绍了心流状态的概念,下文“I might find it on my roller skates, while you might find it through basketball or writing stories. (我可能在滑旱冰时进入这种状态,而你可能在打篮球或写故事时进入)”说明不同人进入该状态的方式不同。C选项“The path to it, though, is different for everyone. (不过,达到这种状态的途径因人而异)”衔接前后内容,符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“However, if you keep pushing yourself without a break, you’ll finally run out. (然而,如果你一直不停地逼迫自己,你最终会筋疲力尽)”指出过度劳累的后果,下文“But it gets easier over time. (但久而久之就会变得容易)”出现转折,说明某件事需要时间适应。E选项“Learning to feel comfortable caring for yourself takes time. (学会坦然地关爱自己需要时间)”中的“takes time”和下文的“over time”相呼应,符合语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
上文“If what you love isn’t something you can do during the day, look for tiny moments of joy. (如果你喜欢的事不能在白天做,那就寻找微小的快乐时刻)”提出寻找碎片化时间做喜欢的事的建议,下文“You could also play basketball for ten minutes after school. (你也可以放学后打十分钟篮球)”是举例说明。B选项“You could read a few pages before bed. (你可以睡前读几页书)”同样是碎片化时间的例子,与下文并列,符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
下文“Start small, stay gentle with yourself, and remember: this isn’t selfish — it’s self-care. (从小事做起,温柔待己,记住:这不是自私——这是自我关怀)”是提出具体的行动建议。A选项“So, make time to do what you love. (所以,腾出时间做你喜欢的事)”起到总结上文、引出下文建议的作用,符合语境。故选A。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up, I’ve learned that the greatest gift of our home is support and love that my family always provides. I was in the fifth grade when my teacher decided the class should share their family Christmas traditions. The project required a poster, a written report and an example — a picture, or, if it was food, a sample (样品).
Hands filled the air when the teacher asked for volunteers to share their family traditions. Going to midnight church services, baking cookies, decorating the tree and house with lights were mentioned quickly. I didn’t want my family to appear strange by admitting we had no exciting traditions, so without thinking I burst out saying, “We make fruitcakes and give them to friends and relatives.”
The report and poster came easy. Yet, the problem was that my family hated fruitcake. It’s one of those classic holiday symbols — important in tradition, yet honestly, not that delicious to many people. Unlike normal cakes with fresh fruits, this was a heavy cake full of dried fruits with alcohol (酒精). A lot of people might like it, but not my family.
Like everything in our warm, busy home, my problem was seriously talked over around the kitchen table. Mom got out the only cookbook we owned and looked up fruitcake. “When did you say the deadline was?”
“Next Monday.”
“Next Monday? Oh, honey, it takes at least a month to make a fruitcake! We don’t have time for that.”
“Here’s another way to make a fruitcake,” Granny suddenly announced as she read through the cookbook. “It just takes dried cherries, candies and some basic ingredients (食材). All we need to do is mix them all together and put the cake in the fridge overnight. This we can do. You can take some to school Monday.”
“Sounds good!” I was excited.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为100个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon, our kitchen was busy with the little project.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
Soon, our kitchen was busy with the little project. Mom fetched dried cherries and candies from the pantry, while Granny guided me to mix the basic ingredients evenly in a big bowl. Dad even joined in, joking as he helped shape the cake into a lovely round. I accidentally spilled some candies on the table, which made everyone laugh aloud. After putting the cake in the fridge overnight, we felt full of expectation. The next day, I took the fruitcake to school. My classmates swarmed around, tasting it and giving lots of praise. At that moment, I knew the best part of the tradition was the warm love my family poured into it.

I’m still amazed I didn’t drop dead from awkwardness during my first solo (独自的) travel experience. As a 20-year-old, I booked an unplanned trip to Darwin in Australia. I didn’t want to go alone, but none of my friends had the time or money to go with me.
Everything went wrong from the start. Poor planning landed me in a shared room with two German men who didn’t speak English. On a guided tour of Kakadu National Park, I fell for every joke my Australian guide played on me. Dining alone was the worst. I felt like a loser when I requested a table for one. I was certain everyone was watching me, wondering if I was single, or simply friendless.
It turned out someone was watching me. During my last solo supper in Australia, a British woman came over. “I’m sorry, but I just have to say something,” she said. “I think you’re unbelievably brave. I’ve seen you around town this week and you look like you’re having so much fun. I wish I had the courage to travel on my own like you.”
It took a while for her words to really hit me, but during my next 21 years of traveling solo, I heard people express the same feeling again and again.
I became a solo traveler out of necessity, rather than choice: As a travel writer I spend a lot of time on my own. Also, as my friends got busy with their own lives, I discovered I had to travel solo if I wanted to travel at all. I quickly learned to love it, though — and now, I have complete freedom to decide what to do and when to do it. Over time, I’ve gained a strong sense of independence, and even learned to appreciate loneliness.
4. What difficulty did the author meet in Darwin?
A. Contacting friends. B. Ordering food at restaurants.
C. Finding a travel guide. D. Communicating with roommates.
5. How did the woman feel about the author?
A. Appreciative. B. Pitiful. C. Doubtful. D. Curious.
6. What made the author fall in love with solo travel?
A. Personal growth. B. Work requirements.
C. Strangers’ praise. D. Friends’ encouragement.
7. What does the author want to express in the passage?
A. A detailed plan matters. B. Loneliness makes us complete.
C. Travelling alone is worth a try. D. Solo travel is for the independent.

Researchers in Switzerland recently taught the one-armed, four-legged ANYmal search and rescue robot to play badminton against a human. This is far from the first time robots have been trained to play sports. They’ve run marathons, skied and played ping pong. There’s even a football RoboCup.
However, it’s not all fun and games. “Sports require skills,” says D’Andrea, a professor in robotics and Al. “If you want to create robots that have the ability to deal with the physical environment, you can use sports as a way of training.” The skills can then be put to work in environments that are too dull, dirty, or dangerous for humans. Sports also catch people’s attention and serve as an interesting way to show new technological advances.
Though the skills robots learn from sports are mostly used in factories or dangerous jobs, the technology is already becoming a big part of sports themselves. For example, technologies like electronic line-calling (ELC) are taking the place of line judges in tennis games.
However, there’s doubt whether this improves the viewer experience. For the fans, the joy of sports is that you never know what will happen. If a robot tennis player takes the field, it might attract people’s attention at first but, after a while, would anyone want to watch it? “People enjoy watching sports because they connect with the athletes. Anything that lets robots play instead of these athletes is not going to be a success,” says D’Andrea.
The same is likely true for anything where human’s feelings play a central part. For over twenty years, the Japanese government has spent billions in developing robots for elderly people in care homes. But the use has been low. So far, it has shown that the robots didn’t alleviate the work for carers but create more.
There’s a difference between pushing what tech can do and applying those tools in the wrong places. So, for now, sports people can rest easy. “I think we have to be careful that we don’t go too far just to save time and effort,” says D’Andrea. “I would ask the question: why do we want to take the place of people?”
8. Why are sports used to train robots?
A. To test robots’ sporting ability.
B. To improve athletes’ sports skills.
C. To show an interesting way for people.
D. To develop skills for real-world tasks.
9. What makes viewer experience successful?
A. Match results.
B. The athletes the fans love.
C. Athletes’efforts.
D. The skills.
10. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Arrange. B. Stress.
C. Reduce. D. Change.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Robot Athletes? All for Fun!
B. Should Robots Take the Sports Field?
C. Sports Robots: the Wrong Thing
D. ANYmal: Robots for Dangerous Jobs

A study, published in Nature Ageing on 10 November, suggests that people who speak more than one language are half as likely to show signs of quicker biological brain ageing as those who speak just one language.
Earlier research has suggested that speaking more languages can improve brain abilities such as memory and attention, which promotes brain health as we get older. But many of these studies depend on small sample (样本) sizes and use unscientific methods of measuring ageing, which leads to results that do not agree with each other and can not be applied to broader groups.
In this study, the researchers explored the connection between multilingualism (多语言使用) and healthy ageing in 86,000 healthy participants (参与者) aged between 51 and 90 across 27 European countries. For each participant, they determined the biobehavioural age gap, the difference between their chronological age — the number of years they have been alive — and their ‘predicted’ age, which considers various factors, such as lifestyle, health, education level and so on. A high biobehavioural age gap can be a sign that someone is ageing particularly fast — or slowly. The researchers then compared participants’ biobehavioural age gaps with the number of languages they spoke, which was based on self-reporting and therefore didn’t consider the level of language.
The researchers found that people who spoke only one language were twice as likely to have a high biobehavioural age gap as those who spoke two or more languages. One more language reduced the risk of speeded-up ageing.
“People have not always agreed on the effects of multilingualism on ageing, but I don’t think there has been a study of this scale (规模) before, which seems to prove them quite decisively,” says scientist Christos. “It used a really large, mixed sample from many places and that allowed them to control for a number of factors, like people’s background and wealth.” Future research should include more different populations outside Europe, he adds.
12. What is the problem with the earlier studies?
A. They use limited study methods. B. They choose a narrow age group.
C. They fail to apply results to groups. D. They show results that do not match.
13. What can we learn about the "biobehavioural age gap"?
A. It suggests ageing speed. B. It relates to language level.
C. It is reported by the participants. D. It is decided by one’s actual age.
14. What’s the major finding of the study?
A. Poor lifestyle doubles ageing speed.
B. Brain health affects language learning.
C. Multilingualism connects with education.
D. Learning more languages slows brain ageing.
15. Which statement might Christos agree with?
A. People do not agree on the findings.
B. Earlier studies offered decisive results.
C. People from other areas should be studied.
D. Other language factors need to be explored.

Life as a student can be non-stop: homework, exams, and responsibilities often take over, and the things that truly light you up get pushed aside. When that happens, try spending some quiet time alone and ask yourself: What did I love doing as a kid that made time fly? ____16____ It’s simple, but it’s a good place to start rediscovering your hobbies and interests.
Have you ever been so into a game, drawing, or music that you completely lost track of time? That’s what is called the “flow state”. ____17____ I might find it on my roller skates, while you might find it through basketball or writing stories. When you enter this state, it lifts your general happiness.
Even so, many of us feel bad for taking time for hobbies. We’re often pressured to live a certain way: work hard, achieve measurable success, and always stay busy. However, if you keep pushing yourself without a break, you’ll finally run out. ____18____ But it gets easier over time. Having a hobby isn’t a waste of time — it’s a way to renew your energy.
The good news is, you don’t need hours of free time to enjoy your hobbies. If what you love isn’t something you can do during the day, look for tiny moments of joy. ____19____ You could also play basketball for ten minutes after school. These small breaks become little islands of peace in a busy student life.
____20____ Start small, stay gentle with yourself, and remember: this isn’t selfish — it’s self-care. Being calm, happy, and at peace is your right, as a human being.
A. So, make time to do what you love.
B. You could read a few pages before bed.
C. The path to it, though, is different for everyone.
D. You may realize how much fun you have missed.
E. Learning to feel comfortable caring for yourself takes time.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up, I’ve learned that the greatest gift of our home is support and love that my family always provides. I was in the fifth grade when my teacher decided the class should share their family Christmas traditions. The project required a poster, a written report and an example — a picture, or, if it was food, a sample (样品).
Hands filled the air when the teacher asked for volunteers to share their family traditions. Going to midnight church services, baking cookies, decorating the tree and house with lights were mentioned quickly. I didn’t want my family to appear strange by admitting we had no exciting traditions, so without thinking I burst out saying, “We make fruitcakes and give them to friends and relatives.”
The report and poster came easy. Yet, the problem was that my family hated fruitcake. It’s one of those classic holiday symbols — important in tradition, yet honestly, not that delicious to many people. Unlike normal cakes with fresh fruits, this was a heavy cake full of dried fruits with alcohol (酒精). A lot of people might like it, but not my family.
Like everything in our warm, busy home, my problem was seriously talked over around the kitchen table. Mom got out the only cookbook we owned and looked up fruitcake. “When did you say the deadline was?”
“Next Monday.”
“Next Monday? Oh, honey, it takes at least a month to make a fruitcake! We don’t have time for that.”
“Here’s another way to make a fruitcake,” Granny suddenly announced as she read through the cookbook. “It just takes dried cherries, candies and some basic ingredients (食材). All we need to do is mix them all together and put the cake in the fridge overnight. This we can do. You can take some to school Monday.”
“Sounds good!” I was excited.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为100个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Soon, our kitchen was busy with the little project.
