My two sons — one in his third year of university and the other just starting his first — are living independently, no longer subject to my house rules, unasked-for hugs, or frequent complaints about their messy bathroom. They’ll return for holidays, and I know that seeing them and hearing about their university adventures will outweigh any frustration over peanut-butter-covered blenders or towels on the floor. It took me time to learn how to live with my grown children when they come home. Having older kids, especially those in university, means balancing their need for independence with maintaining order in the household. When my older son returned home after his first year, it was chaos — late-night kitchen messes, coming home at all hours, and sleeping all day. Our calm household was turned upside down, and frustration filled the air. That summer was tough, filled with conflicts and a messy kitchen. Neither of us understood the other’s perspective, and we didn’t handle it well. This past summer however, I had a truly insightful conversation with my eldest. I was frustrated again, this time by his younger brother’s similar behavior, and asked for advice. His response was surprisingly wise: “It’s not all about you, Mom.” He explained that his brother wasn’t intentionally ignoring me — he was simply being a typical teenager, not doing what I asked had nothing to do with me. That conversation was a game-changer. I realized my children weren’t plotting to upset me — they were just being themselves. It helped me change my approach. I decided to approach them with more kindness and patience, and set some simple, reasonable rules. For example, I offered them access to the family car in exchange for cleaning their rooms and bathroom. I also changed my reactions. I didn’t get upset about a dirty pan or an unmade bed. Instead, I calmly reminded them of our agreements and even offered to help when necessary. Sometimes, I received hugs or a quick kiss on the cheek in return, and the atmosphere in the house grew lighter. I am grateful for that conversation. It taught me that parenting adult children means learning when to let go. My sons continue to be my greatest teachers. As I enjoy my quieter life, free of school drop-offs and practices, I miss their energy but have learned that parenting, in its highest form, is sometimes the wise art of holding on by letting go. 41. What can be inferred about the author according to Paragraph 1? A. She no longer applies family rules on her sons. B. She intends to control her sons’ campus lives. C. She values connection more than household order. D. She feels relieved to be free from parenting duties. 42. Why did the author feel frustrated after her older son returned home? A. They failed to bridge the communication gap. B. He needed to demand respect in the household. C. Domestic chores created tension and frustration. D. He ignored the household’s order for independence. 43. What was her eldest son’s key message during their conversation? A. They deliberately ignored the family rules. B. Teenagers acted this way out of frustration. C. Their behavior wasn’t a personal attack. D. Adults misread normal teenage behavior. 44. What does the “family car” represent in the author’s new approach? A. A symbol of unconditional parental love. B. A shift from conflict to positive reward. C. A method to strengthen the house daily rules. D. A gesture of carrying out the agreement. 45. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon . A. an experience of family conflict B. the pleasure of living alone C. the art of educating children D. a journey of personal growth C Think about your habits with dogs. Do you send them to daycare, dress them up, and bring them on vacations? Do you talk to them like a baby? If so, you’re not alone: research suggests our brains respond in the same way to pet dogs as they do to human children. Our brains were not always tuned this way. As we domesticated dogs, they evolved human-like social and cognitive abilities. They came to act and even look like babies, and we began to see them as such. Zachary Silver, director of the Animal Cognition Lab at Occidental College, isn’t surprised: over thousands of years, people selected dogs for kindness, affection, and attentiveness to human signals. Evolutionary time explains present feelings. Alison LaCoss, a mother of three, felt an overwhelming desire to love them and protect her newborns — and later Shio and Babka, the dogs she adopted. A 2014 brain-imaging study of mothers viewing photos of their children and their dogs found significant overlap (重叠): the amygdala (杏仁体) lit up, as did regions for reward, memory, social cognition, and facial processing. The women also reported similar pleasantness and excitement when looking at pictures of kids and dogs. Important differences remain. Certain midbrain regions responded more strongly to children, indicating the brain still recognizes species boundaries. LaCoss admits she does feel distinctly proud watching her kids reach milestones dogs never will, yet her desire to meet Shio and Babka’s needs is just as intense. Silver argues that because dogs reliably generate these responses, the relationship for many people now equals the importance of a biological relative. Neurochemistry deepens the connection. Behaviors such as eye contact, play, and physical affection increase oxytocin (催产素) levels, which in turn reinforces the very behaviors that strengthen the bond. As one paper states dogs have “hijacked” the human caregiving pathway: when a dog gazes with “puppy eyes” or runs over when called, oxytocin rises, activating the caregiving system that evolved to protect babies and motivating us to nurture, comfort, and guard our companions. Domestication also shaped appearances and skills. Humans favored dogs that tracked our gaze, cooperated, and signaled with expressive faces. Modern dogs have rounder heads, larger eyes, and eyebrow muscles that create sadness, curiosity, and joy — features humans find irresistible. They play like kids, think like toddlers, and appear vulnerable, inviting care. You don’t need a scan to feel the bond is parental; for many, dogs are family. As LaCoss says, “My home isn’t home without them.” 46. Why does Zachary Silver consider dogs’ evolution unsurprising? A. Dogs naturally developed speech comprehension. B. Human selection enhanced dogs’ social abilities. C. Wolves transformed into companion animals. D. Biological evolution increased dogs’ intelligence. 47. The author cited the 2014 brain-imaging study in paragraph 3 to . A. contrast neural responses to children and dogs B. provide evidence for a shared caregiving system C. explain why dogs are better companions than other pets D. demonstrate the uniqueness of parental instincts 48. According to the passage, what is a key neurological difference in how humans respond to children and dogs? A. Dogs lead to stronger reward system activity. B. Dogs produce weaker emotional brain responses. C. Children cause a stronger midbrain response. D. Children activate the amygdala more weakly. 49. What does the phrase “have hijacked the human caregiving pathway” suggest about dogs? A. They have taken over human parenting duties. B. They have evolved to replace human children. C. They have influenced people through emotional signals. D. They have aroused humans’ natural nurturing responses. 50. By saying “My home isn’t home without them,” LaCoss aims to . A. highlight dogs’ irreplaceable emotional role B. describe dogs as bridges to family bonds C. reveal dogs’ capacity to find real sympathy D. prove the necessity of keeping pets in families D Staring at the books on the shelf, my 10-year-old daughter and I already knew what to pick for our nightly read. While she chose a story we had read many times, I wanted something new — something humorous and thoughtful. At that moment, I began to reflect on the duality (双重性) in picture books: the challenge of appealing to both children and the adults who read to them. Though it may seem like an impossible balance to strike, it’s something that I’ve prioritized in my own writing career. Humor, I’ve learned, is powerful. Used wisely, it keeps readers of any age engaged and encourages children to think ahead about what might happen next. In my picture book The Mess Monster, when Lucy’s pile of clothes and toys falls on her dog Max, she screams “OH NO!” — a moment that invites readers to join the fun dramatically. Such exaggerated (夸张的) moments keep both kids and adults entertained, much like the storytelling sessions in libraries where voices, gestures, and emotions bring stories to life. According to Psychology Today, humor in picture books fosters engagement, comprehension, and a positive attitude toward reading. For me, humor is also a way to deliver deeper messages — like kindness and empathy — through laughter. In The Mess Monster, Lucy’s accident teaches her to take responsibility, showing young readers how actions affect others. Research confirms that stories help children build empathy by connecting with characters different from themselves. Yet adults, too, need reminders of empathy and understanding — making these themes meaningful for both audiences. This dual appeal, however, is not merely an artistic achievement; it has practical implications for a book’s impact. Appealing to both children and adults also broadens a writer’s reach. Parents are more eager to read stories that reflect family struggles and everyday realities. Such books spark conversations, helping both generations realize they’re not alone. Adults smile knowingly when Lucy blames the “Mess Monster” for her untidy room — a struggle many of us never outgrow. Children and adults may approach stories differently, but writers who recognize this can bridge the gap. Animated storytelling, expressive language, and emotional honesty often make a story timeless. Sometimes it’s not just the book itself, but how it’s read that makes it a bedtime favorite. As a reader, I find that the best stories speak to the shared human experience. No matter one’s age or background, readers seek the same things — relatable characters, satisfying plots, and a touch of humor that warms the heart. Whether young or grown, a reader is a reader, and a good story connects us all. 51. What can be inferred from the author’s statement about the duality in picture books? A. It is a primary focus of her own writing. B. It is rarely achieved well in most picture books. C. It is more crucial than including humor. D. It is replaced by moral lessons today. 52. According to the author, what is the primary role of humor beyond entertainment? A. To enhance children’s reading comprehension. B. To make the process of learning enjoyable. C. To provide clear examples of good behavior. D. To serve as a vehicle for meaningful values. 53 What does the “Mess Monster” example imply about adult readers? A. They enjoy humorous exaggerations. B. They appreciate simple life lessons. C. They recognize universal human struggles. D. They seek solutions to family problems. 54. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that skillful authors . A. know how to connect with readers of all ages B. focus on writing for specific age groups C. value reading styles more than content D. rely on simple language to engage readers 55. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Power of Humor in Storytelling B. How to Write Timeless Picture Stories. C. Building Empathy Through Shared Reading. D. Creating Stories That Speak to All. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共6小题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 “Where’s my list?” I asked, searching through papers on the breakfast table. My husband John smiled, joking about my constant to-do lists. For me, lists were not just organization — they were a way to calm my worries. Now, with our children grown, John and I were preparing for a major change: selling our home after nearly 30 years and moving somewhere new. I began imagining our future: a place near the water, easy for family visits, with good transport links. But before any of that, we had to sell our house. Throughout my life, I had always believed in finishing tasks before allowing myself to enjoy what came next. Yet again and again, something interrupted — a sudden family crisis, a friend’s last-minute need, even a worldwide pandemic that no one predicted — and my well-made plans would fall apart. Each time, I felt like starting over from the beginning. I reminded John how long it took to sell our first home a place filled with early memories. Our first son, Jay, was born while we were still waiting for a buyer. That small house witnessed his first steps, his first words, and the news that I was pregnant with our second child, Mark. In my eagerness to move forward back then, I almost missed the beauty of those everyday moments. Sitting at our kitchen table now, I looked around. This house, too, held a lifetime of joy: the boys walking to school, friends gathering in the yard, grandparents living nearby, and countless family meals, stories, and laughter. For three decades, these walls had contained so much happiness. Why had I spent so much time planning for “someday” while overlooking the precious “now”? I gently pushed my lists aside. “The right buyer will come at the right time,” I said to John. “We’ll end up exactly where we’re meant to be.” He looked at me, surprised. “What’s changed?” he asked. “My outlook has changed,” I replied. “I don’t want to be so focused on the future that I fail to appreciate the present—whether our house sells in two weeks or two years.” As it happened, our home sold much faster than I expected. Now, in our new place, my to-do list remains long, and not everything goes according to plan. But I am learning, day by day, to enjoy the journey itself. 56.

I’m writing to offer a suggestion for the opening ceremony of the International Cultural Exchange Week. I recommend paper-cutting, a representative of traditional Chinese culture. It has a long history and carries Chinese people’s wishes for happiness, making it easy for overseas friends to understand Chinese culture’s charm. For the presentation, we’ll display classic works like zodiacs and flowers first. Then, students skilled in paper-cutting will give live demonstrations. We’ll also set an interactive corner, providing paper and scissors for foreign teachers and students to learn simple cuts with our guidance, which can deepen their experience. I hope my suggestion is helpful. Looking forward to the event’s success. Yours sincerely, Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
