I'd rarely ridden my bike in Guyana,but at Stanford,grasping my new bike's handles and practicing circles in the sloping parking lot felt like learning to walk again-this time,in a crowd,where one mistake could knock over others.As an international student,I had"invisible training wheels":student assistants stayed nearby,steadying me before I lost my balance.Yet beneath the comfort,my unease continued-I longed for the thrill of moving on my own. At first,I hung on to every helping hand,memorizing maps and double-checking assignments.But a mistake taught me a hard lesson:riding back from class,I almost turned left,only to catch strangers' confused stares and spot the lane arrow pointing right.I wasn't home anymore and I needed to adapt. I realized then that maybe the training wheels aren't the problem.Maybe they're part of the process, the stage between being guided and being free.Every fall teaches me to shift weight,stay in lane,and watch for others-lessons I applied to academics too.In Guyana,education was structured;at Stanford, knowiedge was an open road.Liberal education felt like too much to handle,like pedaling uphill to West Campus,but I learned to treat each class like a ride:adjust pace,pedal hard when needed,coast() when possible. Now,each ride gets easier,each day steadier.And as I pedal between these two worlds-one foot in memory,the other in motion-I appreciate the value of my training wheels.Riding a bicycle along the road of life is the act of moving,falling and rising again-always forward,always learning to ride. 24.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A.He had great interest in riding bikes. B.He always lost balance and knocked others. C.He enjoyed filling his bike with daily items. D.He got comfort from student assistants'help. 25.Why did the author almost turn left when riding back from class at Stanford? A.He was used to the traffic in Guyana. B.He intended to confuse the strangers. C.He followed the lane arrows mistakenly. D.He wanted to take a shortcut to the dorm. 高.二英语第2页 共8页 夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效白 26.What does the author think of"training wheels"? A.They are a sign of weakness. B.They are necessary for growth. C.They limit his wish for freedom D.They make riding faster and safer. 27.Which is the most suitable title for the text? A.My New Campus Life at Stanford University B.The Challenges of Being an International Student C.Riding Differences:Between Guyana and Stanford D.Riding Through Transition:From Guyana to Stanford C As wildfires spread across forests and grasslands,they give off large amounts of gases and tiny particles()into the air.Scientists now believe we may not have fully understood how much pollution these fires cause.A study reported in Environmental Science Technology shows that wildfires-around the world likely produce far more gases that harm air quality than earlier studies had suggested.The research also points out that in several areas,pollution from fires joins together with pollution from human activities,making air quality worse. Every year,wildfires burn through huge areas of plants,sending a complex mix of chemicals into the atmosphere.These include VOCs that easily form in the air,plus IVOCs and SVOCs,which need higher heat to turn into gas and more readily become tiny particles.When people breathe in these particles,they can be harmful to health.However,they are often not studied when scientists look at what wildfires release().Their large quantity and chemical complexity make measurement difficult,leading past assessments to focus primarily on VOCs. To solve this problem,Shuxiao Wang's team tried to include IVOCs and SVOCs along with VOCs in their study to better understand how wildfires affect air quality,human health,and the climate.The team first analyzed a global database of burnt land from 1997 to 2023.Then they collected information about the chemicals released when different plants burn.When they could not get direct measurements from real fires,they used lab experiments to estimate the chemicals produced.By putting all this information together,they worked out yearly worldwide wildfire emissions(). The results showed that wildland fires released an average of 143 million tons of chemicals yearly- about 21%higher than previous estimates.The team also found that although human activities produce more pollution overall,both wildfires and human activities release similar amounts of IVOCs and SVOCs. This finding highlights the greater-than-expected role of wildfires,particularly through IVOC and SVOC emissions,in reducing air quality.Different plans are needed to reduce pollution from both wildfires and human activities. 28.What does the author want to point out in paragraph 1? A.Wildfires are spreading faster than before. B.Wildfires are the main cause of air pollution. C.Human activities pollute the air more than wildfires. D.Fire-related air pollution is more serious than known. 29.Why were IVOCs and SVOCs often left out in earlier studies? A.They are hard to measure accurately.B.They disappear quickly in the air. C.Their effect on climate is insignificant.D.Their existence remained unknown. 30.Which best describes the-study led by Shuxiao Wang's team? A.Thorough and data-driven. B.Regional but well-recorded. C.Theoretical and model-based. D.Limited but system-building. 31.What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A.Current policies fully control wildfire pollution. B.Wildfires and human activities require emission cuts. C.More research is needed on chemicals emissions. D.Reducing human-caused pollution is less essential. 高二英语第3页共8页一… ▣ 夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣R We've all heard of procrastination ()-putting off tasks until the last minute.But have you met its over-enthusiastic cousin,pre-crastination ()While procrastinators delay,pre-crastinators rush to finish tasks immediately,even if it means extra effort,like carrying all groceries in one trip to avoid a second walk.Invented in 2014 by psychologist David Rosenbaum,pre-crastination describes this re to deal with things as soon as possible.Why do people do it?And is it really the productive habit it seems to be? Research began with a simple experiment.Participants chose between carrying a nearby box a long distance or a farther box a shorter way.Logically,the farther box required less effort.Yet most chose the closer one,preferring a longer physical carry to quickly "clear the task"from their mind.Later studies using"double-response"tasks further showed that people spend more time on their first decision and rarelv change it,showing a careful"think first,act once"pattern-a way to solve mental tasks early. This behavior is driven by a desire to reduce cognitive load-the mental effort of holding onto unfinished tasks.The "cognitive load-reduction idea"suggests our brains want order.By deciding or acting early,we free up mental space.Interestingly,higher self-control often leads to more pre-crastination; it's a way to manage mental mess(),not lose control.For example,booking a vacation months in advance can bring calmness,even if it means less flexibility. However,pre-crastination is not always efficient.Like procrastination,it can have the opposite effect. Handing in a draft too soon may mean missing needed revisions,just as carrying the closer box leads to unnecessary tiredness.It can be a "misguided superhero"feeling productive while actually-causing inefficiency. Whether you tend to pre-crastinate or procrastinate,the key is balance.Reflect on your habits,but don't overthink.The healthiest approach lies in the middle:act when it's timely,stop when it's wise,and remember that clearing mental mess shouldn't come at the cost of physical or emotional well-being. 32.Why procrastination is mentioned in paragraph 1? A.To stress why people often put off tasks. B.To explain the reason for pre-crastination. C.To introduce the topic of pre-crastination. D.To criticize its negative effects on productivity. 33.What do we know about pre-crastinators in Rosenbaum's experiment? A.They preferred the easier way. B.They hesitated for their actions. C.They regretted their first choice. D.They chose harder tasks to start sooner. 34.What does the underlined phrase"misguided superhero"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.A hero who is highly appreciated. B.A helpful but ineffective behavior. C.A helpful person with good judgment. D.A productive habit that causes tiredness. 35.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Procrastination improves work efficiency B.Pre-crastination comes from mental mess. C.It'swise to adapt your approach based on the situation. D.It's wise to focus on finishing tasks to clear your mind. 高二英语第4页 共8页 ▣ 夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效百 第二节（共5小题：每小题3分，满分15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。 How to Stay Mentally Healthy in the Age of Social Media Social media has become a big part of our lives.It helps us connect with friends,learn new things, and find entertainment.36 The good news is that you can take control.Here are four practical ways to protect your mental health while using social media.

I turned around immediately and walked angrily to my bedroom.Then I pulled the curtains shut and threw myself down on the bed.10:15.The green digital numbers reported that my dad would be home from night shift soon.I knew I'd be in trouble.Worst of all,I deserved it. Lying there in the dark,I kept thinking about my failed math test-the angry red marks and the mocking laughter of my classmates.Of course,all of that had nothing to do with my mom,except that I'd been terrible to her this afternoon.I'd come home to fresh peanut butter cookies."Couldn't you have made chocolate chip?"I said.Later,when she pulled chicken from the oven,I complained,"Why didn't you make hamburgers?"I shouted until Mom hit her limit,lost her cool,and we had a shouting match in the hall. By the time I heard the garage door open,I felt pretty bad about the whole thing.Why had I taken my troubles out on Mom?I knew that if I'd come home and shared what had happened,Mom would have listened.But I hadn't. Soon,I heard voices from the kitchen-Mom and Dad were talking.After what felt like a long time, Dad's quiet footsteps stopped at the dining table.Then,from the kitchen,the strange sounds began.First a machine was turned on,and then dishes were being moved. Finally,my bedroom door opened slowly,letting the light from the hallway flood into my dark room. Mom's hair slid past my cheek as she leaned in.to whisper,"Why don't you come down to the kitchen?" There,Dad waited with the hamburgers,calm and concerned. 高二英语第8页 共8页 ▣ Q夸克扫描王 极速扫描，就是高效 ▣1
