I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way. It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green. “Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement. Strip e by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic! The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble. My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art. “Now go clean it up!” Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement. Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful. 4. What can be inferred about the children’s summer life at the beginning? A. They were often left alone at home. B. Their parents took them to playgrounds. C. They attended summer school programs. D. They had strict schedules set by their parents. 5. How did the narrator feel when she first saw her mother’s car approaching? A. Anxious and fearful. B. Thrilled and proud. C. Guilty and regretful. D. Surprised and confused. 6. The underlined word “rainbow” in the last paragraph refers to ______. A. something imaginative and fun B. the stripes on the pavement C. the rainbow in the sky D. important lessons learned in childhood 7. It can be learned from the passage that parents should ______. A. encourage children to paint B. value friendship among children C. protect rather than destroy children’s dreams D. discover the hidden talent in children 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了小时候“我”和好友在路面画彩虹，被母亲要求清理，梦想受挫。多年后仍怀念那份童真创意，希望人们守护心中的美好与梦想。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way. (我们的父母都在工作，大部分时间他们让我们自己活动)”可知，父母大部分时间让他们自己待着，这暗示了他们经常独自在家。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. (我迫不及待地想向她展示我的杰作)”可知，当看到母亲的车时，作者最初的心情是兴奋和自豪的，期待展示作品。故选B。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“to keep our hopes and dreams colorful (为了让我们的希望和梦想多彩)”推断，此时作者提到的rainbow不是指自己曾经画过的街道上的彩虹，而是指自己的人生中的彩虹，也就是有想象力和乐趣的东西，激励自己保持希望和梦想。故划线词指的是“一些富有创意且有趣的东西”。故选A。 7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.(尽管时光已流逝多年，但我仍不禁疑惑我的那道彩虹究竟去了哪里。我想知道，或许等我年岁渐长，是否能够寻回那道彩虹，从而永远不必将其抹去。我想我们都需要某种形式的彩虹，时不时地为我们的生活增添亮色，让我们的希望和梦想始终充满色彩)”以及整篇文章开头叙述作者开心的画彩虹的过程，到后来被母亲要求把街道清洗干净，到最后的感慨，表明作者写作最终想要表达的目的是：父母应该支持孩子的某些创造性的行为，而不是一味地否定。故选C。 C Not long ago, I believed there were only two kinds of viewers: those who switched on subtitles only when the dialogue was unclear, and the unappreciative philistines (附庸风雅者) who left them on for no reason. I insisted that words at the bottom of the screen stole the purity of film art—the faint tremble of an actor’s lip or the perfect pause before a punchline. Recent numbers, however, show that I am defending an empty castle. A 2021 survey found that 80% of viewers aged 18-25 “always” or “often” use subtitles. What makes the young so absorbed in reading while watching? The cliché blames a short attention span, but the real answer is more complicated. Growing up with phones in hand, Gen-Z treat television as only one panel in a multimedia mosaic (拼接画). The survey shows that 80% of them “double-screen”， texting or scrolling while the show runs. Subtitles act like a quick download: a glance gives the line, the eye returns to the phone, and no plot is lost. Efficiency wins over pure absorption. Social media has pushed the habit further. On TikTok or Instagram, subtitles appear by default (默认); many creators even design videos around rapid-fire (接二连三的) text that is impossible to switch off. Algorithms (算法) reward this choice: clips with open subtitles engage more viewers’ attention and are more likely to crop up in searches. Subtitles have turned from an accessibility tool into a business strategy. The change is not always welcome. Comedies lose timing when the joke is visible before it is spoken; subtle acting is flattened into text. My flatmate, once annoyed by words on the screen, now leaves them on even for films. “I don’t notice I’m reading,” she said with a shrug, “but I can’t turn them off either.” Studies show the practice improves recall of plot details, yet there is no evidence that it sharpens reading skills. Perhaps the deeper shift is in our purpose: we watch to keep up, not to sink in. After work, we cuddle up on the sofa longing not for beauty or surprise, but for the quiet satisfaction of “comprehension”. Television was meant to be an escape; now it is another task we efficiently finish. 8. Why do Gen-Z viewers use subtitles while watching TV? A. They have short attention spans. B. They want to sharpen their reading skills. C. They operate multiple functions meanwhile. D. They find dialogues unclear, 9. Why do videos with subtitles enjoy greater popularity on social media? A. They are more accessible for viewers. B. Algorithms favor them and promote them more. C. Rapid-fire subtitles appear by default. D. They enhance the function of algorithms. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the widespread use of subtitles? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why We Should All Turn Off Subtitles B. How Subtitles Ruin Film Art C. From Aid to Necessity: The Subtitle Revolution D. The Business of Subtitles: How Algorithms Drive Viewer Habits 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了年轻观众（特别是Z世代）在观看电视时使用字幕的现象，分析了其背后的原因、社交媒体对这一习惯的影响，以及作者对字幕广泛使用的态度。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“ The survey shows that 80% of them “double-screen”, texting or scrolling while the show runs. Subtitles act like a quick download: a glance gives the line, the eye returns to the phone, and no plot is lost. Efficiency wins over pure absorption. (调查显示，80%的Z世代观众在观看节目时会“双屏操作” ，即一边发短信或浏览内容，一边看节目。字幕就像快速下载一样：看一眼就能知道台词，眼睛再回到手机上，剧情也不会错过。效率胜过了纯粹的沉浸)”可知，年轻人使用字幕是因为他们经常双屏操作，一边看电视一边用手机。故选C。 【9题详解】  细节理解题。根据第三段“Algorithms reward this choice: clips with open subtitles enjoy higher viewer retention and are more likely to crop up in searches. (算法奖励这种选择：带有开放字幕的视频片段更能吸引观众的注意力，也更容易在搜索中出现。)”可知，算法更青睐它们，并对其进行更多推广。故选B。 【10题详解】  推理判断题。根据第四段中 “The change is not always welcome. Comedies lose timing when the joke is visible before it is spoken; subtle acting is flattened into text (这种变化并不总是受欢迎的。喜剧在笑话还没说出口之前就已经显露出来，就失去了时机；微妙的表演被简化为文字。).”以及最后一段中“Perhaps the deeper shift is in our purpose: we watch to keep up, not to sink in. Television was meant to be an escape; now it is another task we efficiently finish. (也许更深层次的转变在于我们的目的：我们观看是为了跟上节奏，而不是沉浸其中。电视本应是一种逃避；现在它成了我们高效完成的另一项任务。)” 可知，作者对字幕的广泛使用持批评态度。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了字幕功能从最初的辅助工具演变为如今年轻人观看视频时不可或缺的组成部分这一现象，并深入分析了其背后的社会和技术原因 (如多屏操作、社交媒体算法等)。C选项“从辅助到必需：字幕革命”准确概括了这一核心演变过程，全面呼应了文章内容。故选C。 D Persistent sleeplessness is more than next-day tiredness — it may quietly speed up brain aging. A Wednesday report in Neurology followed 2,750 mentally healthy seniors (average age 70) for 5.6 years. Annual tests of memory, reasoning and brain scans showed that 14% of those with chronic insomnia later developed mild cognitive obstacle or dementia, compared with only 10% of sound sleepers. In other words, the insomniac brain had “aged” an extra 3.5 years. Lead author Diego Z. Carvalho, a sleep-medicine expert at the Mayo Clinic, stresses that the study shows association, not causation. “Poor sleep could be an early warning of decline rather than the trigger,” he says. Still, the dose matters: within the insomnia group, people who slept the fewest hours had the worst scores and the greatest loss of brain tissue. The findings fit a wave of recent research. A 2021 JAMA Neurology paper found that sleeping less than six or more than nine hours predicted weaker memory and mood problems. Yale neurologist Santiago Clocchiatti-Tuozzo, not involved in the new work, says future public-health strategies may need to protect both sleep quality and duration. Why would lost nights hurt the mind? During deep sleep the brain’s glymphatic system — think of it as a nightly street-cleaner — washes away beta-amyloid and other toxins (毒素). If the sweep is cut short, waste builds up, blocking signalling pathways. Karin G. Johnson, a sleep neurologist, adds that the cleanse follows circadian rhythms (昼夜节律), so mistimed sleep is almost as bad as short sleep. She argues for policy shifts such as later school bells to give teens — tomorrow’s seniors — enough dark hours. For now, experts offer three evidence-based tips: keep a consistent bedtime, expose yourself to morning sunlight, and remove phones from the bedroom. None guarantee perfect rest, but together they tilt (倾向) the odds toward a sharper, slower-aging brain. The night, it seems, is not wasted time; it is daily maintenance we cannot skip. 12. According to the study in Neurology, what is the main finding about persistent sleeplessness? A. It directly causes dementia. B. It only leads to next-day tiredness. C. It is not related to brain aging. D. It may speed up brain aging. 13. What does the underlined phrase “the dose matters” in Para.2 most likely mean in the context? A. The amount of medicine taken is crucial. B. The severity of sleep loss affects the outcome. C. The type of insomnia treatment is important. D. The duration of the study was significant. 14. From Karin G. Johnson’s argument, we can infer that she probably believes ______. A. teenagers need a nightly street-cleaner during deep sleep B. current school schedules conflict with teenagers’ natural sleep rhythms C. the glymphatic system does not work in teenagers D. teenagers hardly suffer from mistimed sleep and short sleep 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new cure for insomnia. B. To explain the study that proves sleeplessness causes dementia. C. To discuss the potential link between poor sleep and accelerated brain aging. D. To criticize public health strategies for ignoring sleep problems. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨长期失眠与大脑加速衰老之间的潜在关联，介绍相关研究发现、背后原因及专家给出的睡眠建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Persistent sleeplessness is more than next-day tiredness — it may quietly speed up brain aging. A Wednesday report in Neurology followed 2,750 mentally healthy seniors (average age 70) for 5.6 years.(长期失眠不仅仅是第二天的疲惫——它可能会悄悄加速大脑衰老。《神经病学》杂志周三的一篇报道对2750名心理健康的老年人（平均年龄70岁）进行了5.6年的跟踪调查)”可知，《神经病学》杂志的研究主要发现是长期失眠可能会加速大脑衰老。故选D项。 13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Still, the dose matters: within the insomnia group, people who slept the fewest hours had the worst scores and the greatest loss of brain tissue.(尽管如此，the dose matters：在失眠组中，睡眠时间最少的人得分最差，脑组织损失也最大)”可知，冒号后内容是对划线短语的解释，即失眠组中，睡眠不足的程度不同，结果也不同，由此猜测the dose matters意为“睡眠不足的严重程度会影响结果”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Karin G. Johnson, a sleep neurologist, adds that the cleanse follows circadian rhythms (昼夜节律), so mistimed sleep is almost as bad as short sleep. She argues for policy shifts such as later school bells to give teens — tomorrow’s seniors — enough dark hours.(睡眠神经学家卡琳·G·约翰逊补充说，这种清洁过程遵循昼夜节律，因此睡眠时间不当几乎和睡眠不足一样糟糕。她主张调整政策，比如推迟上课时间，给青少年——未来的老年人——足够的黑夜时间)”可推断，卡琳·G·约翰逊认为当前的学校时间表与青少年的自然睡眠节律相冲突，所以才建议推迟上课时间。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“Persistent sleeplessness is more than next-day tiredness — it may quietly speed up brain aging. (长期失眠不仅仅是第二天的疲惫——它可能会悄悄加速大脑衰老)”可知，文章第一段引出长期失眠可能加速大脑衰老的话题，随后介绍《神经病学》杂志的相关研究、研究的局限性，接着结合其他研究说明睡眠与大脑的关系，最后解释失眠伤害大脑的原因并给出睡眠建议，由此可知，文章的主要目的是探讨睡眠不足与大脑加速衰老之间的潜在关联。故选C项。 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。 Positive psychology, a relatively new branch of psychology, focuses on the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. ____16____ Its core aim is to promote well-being and happiness rather than merely treating mental illness. Research in this field has revealed several practices that can significantly enhance life satisfaction. ____17____ For instance, regularly writing down things one is grateful for has been linked to increased optimism and better sleep. Similarly, acts of kindness, whether small or large, not only benefit recipients but also boost the giver’s sense of purpose and social connection. This creates a positive feedback loop that reinforces prosocial (亲社会的) behavior. Another key area is the cultivation of positive relationships. Humans are inherently social beings, and the quality of our relationships deeply affects our psychological health. ____18____ Studies show that strong social support can buffer against stress and is correlated with longer, healthier lives. Meanwhile, many people tend to overlook the process. Actually, setting and working toward meaningful goals is also central to positive psychology. It emphasizes that goals aligned with personal values, rather than external pressures, foster a deeper sense of purpose. Cherishing the process of striving itself contributes to growth and life satisfaction. ____19____ While some may dismiss these practices as too simple, they are grounded in rigorous and cautious scientific research. ____20____ By intentionally applying these principles, people can build resilience (韧性) and discover greater joy in their daily lives, demonstrating that well-being is indeed a skill that can be developed. This empowering perspective puts the tools for a happier life within everyone’s reach. A. These activities shift focus from what is lacking to what is abundant. B. Critics argue that it ignores the complexity of human suffering. C. Therefore, it encourages investing time and effort in nurturing connections. D. Contrary to traditional psychology, it does not diagnose or cure disorders. E. It emphasizes the journey as much as the destination, fostering growth and engagement. F. Actually, its methods have proven effective in diverse cultures and age groups. G. Moreover, physical exercise is recommended as a complementary strategy for mental health. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍感恩、友善、人际关系、目标过程等方法，经科学验证，能帮人们收获快乐与韧性。 【16题详解】 根据后文“Its core aim is to promote well-being and happiness rather than merely treating mental illness. Research in this field has revealed several practices that can significantly enhance life satisfaction.(其核心目标在于促进身心健康和提升幸福感，而非仅仅治疗精神疾病。该领域的研究已经揭示了若干能够显著提高生活满意度的实践方法)”可知，空格后句指出“其核心目标是提升幸福感和快乐，而非仅仅治疗心理疾病”，这与D选项中“与传统心理学不同，它不诊断或治疗疾病”形成直接对应与解释关系，明确了该学科的特点。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据后文“For instance, regularly writing down things one is grateful for has been linked to increased optimism and better sleep. Similarly, acts of kindness, whether small or large, not only benefit recipients but also boost the giver’s sense of purpose and social connection. This creates a positive feedback loop that reinforces prosocial (亲社会的) behavior.(例如，定期写下自己所感激的事情与增强乐观情绪和改善睡眠质量有关。同样，无论大小，善举不仅对受助者有益，还能增强施助者的使命感和社交联系感。这形成了一个积极的反馈循环，强化了亲社会行为)”可知，本段首句为段落主旨句。空格后以“感恩记录”和“善行”为例，说明具体实践方法。A选项“这些活动将焦点从缺乏之物转向丰盈之物”恰是对这些实践作用的概括，且“these activities”能指代后文内容，起到承上启下的作用。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Another key area is the cultivation of positive relationships. Humans are inherently social beings, and the quality of our relationships deeply affects our psychological health.(另一个关键领域在于积极关系的培养。人类本质上是社会性生物，而我们之间的关系质量对我们的心理健康有着深远的影响)”可知，空格前句强调积极人际关系对心理健康的重要性。C选项“因此，它鼓励投入时间和精力去培养人际关系”中的“Therefore”承接前因后果，“nurturing connections”与“positive relationships”及“social support”语义连贯，提出具体行动建议。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Meanwhile, many people tend to overlook the process. Actually, setting and working toward meaningful goals is also central to positive psychology. It emphasizes that goals aligned with personal values, rather than external pressures, foster a deeper sense of purpose. Cherishing the process of striving itself contributes to growth and life satisfaction.(与此同时，许多人往往会忽视这个过程。实际上，设定并努力实现有意义的目标也是积极心理学的核心内容。它强调，与个人价值观相契合而非受外部压力驱使的目标，能培养更深刻的意义感。珍视努力奋斗的过程本身有助于个人成长和提升生活满意度)”可知，段落前半部分阐述了目标需与个人价值观一致，以及奋斗过程本身的意义。E选项“It emphasizes the journey as much as the destination, fostering growth and engagement.” (它强调过程与目标同样重要，促进成长和投入) 总结并升华了本段核心思想，其中“journey”与“process of striving”呼应，“growth”与上文“growth”形成关键词复现，作为段末总结句十分恰当。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“While some may dismiss these practices as too simple, they are grounded in rigorous and cautious scientific research.(尽管有些人可能会认为这些做法过于简单，但它们却是基于严谨且谨慎的科学研究得出的结论)”可知，空格前句提到这些实践基于严谨科学，但可能被质疑为“过于简单”。F选项“事实上，其方法已在不同文化和年龄群体中被证明有效”，对此质疑作出反驳，并引出让步后的总结，与后文“应用这些原则”顺利衔接。故选F。 第三部分：语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was a cool October evening.

I was desperate to own the latest album from my favorite band, but my pocket money barely covered everyday essentials. With no extra to spare, the album felt out of reach—and that ache of disappointment was all too real. Fortunately, my community was full of opportunities to earn extra money. Many elderly residents were definitely in need of assistance, and I decided to take on a part-time job to earn what I needed. I chose to ask Mrs. Hudson, the oldest person I knew. Well over eighty, she could no longer manage her garden, which was filled with flowers, overgrown grass, and a few struggling tomato plants. Summoning my courage, I knocked on her door. Much to my relief, she welcomed the help. It was an extremely hot summer day. My first task was to weed—kneeling in the soil, pulling out one stubborn weed after another. The work was tedious and exhausting, and before long, fatigue set in. But each time I thought of that album, my energy returned. “If only I had a portable fan,” I muttered, wiping sweat from my brow. After hours of labor, Mrs. Hudson handed me ten dollars. It was less than I’d hoped, but enough. Clutching the money, I hurried toward the supermarket, already imagining the moment I’d hold the album in my hands—a reward earned entirely by my own effort. I was practically singing as I walked. Then, across the road, I caught sight of my mother at work. I’d always known she was a saleswoman, but I’d never actually seen her on the job until that day. 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。 My mother was handing out leaflets (传单) to passers-by. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued making my way to the supermarket. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 My mother was handing out leaflets to passers-by. Under the burning sun, her T-shirt was damp with sweat. She would give a leaflet to everyone that passed by, with an eager smile on her face. Some people just walked right past her while some others would refuse by waving their hands. There were also some people who would accept the leaflet politely but throw it into a garbage can right away. Seeing that scene, I couldn’t help but feel bad. I never considered my mother’s work to be so hard. I continued making my way to the supermarket. However, when I found the album I had been longing for, my mother’s sweaty face came to my mind and I hesitated. I gave up buying the album and bought a portable electric fan instead. Then I returned to the place where my mother worked. She was obviously surprised to see me standing in front of her. When I took out the fan, telling her that it was for her, she was moved to tears and then broke into a happy smile. It was when I saw a big smile on her face that I understood the true value of money. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在十六岁的时候想买一张最喜欢的乐队的专辑，但是没有足够的钱去买，作者找了一份兼职，拿着自己挣来的钱去买专辑的路上看到了马路对面正在工作的妈妈的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我的妈妈正在向过路的人分发传单。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到妈妈工作的辛苦场景。 ②由第二段首句内容“我继续向超市走去。”可知，第二段可描写作者去了超市后想到了什么，又做出如何的决定以及作者通过这件事的感悟。 2. 续写线索：看见妈妈在发传单—路人收到传单的举动—到超市买专辑—放弃买专辑—买了一台风扇送给妈妈—妈妈的感受—作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①渴望：long for/yearn for ②购买：buy/purchase ③看到：see/catch sight of 情绪类 ①快乐：happy/joyful ②糟糕的：bad/terrible 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I took out the fan, telling her that it was for her, she was moved to tears and then broke into a happy smile. （运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] It was when I saw a big smile on her face that I understood the true value of money.（运用了强调句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度上期高三期末考试英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way. It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green. “Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement. Strip e by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic! The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble. My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art. “Now go clean it up!” Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement. Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful. 4 What can be inferred about the children’s summer life at the beginning?

A. encourage children to paint B. value friendship among children C. protect rather than destroy children’s dreams D. discover the hidden talent in children C Not long ago, I believed there were only two kinds of viewers: those who switched on subtitles only when the dialogue was unclear, and the unappreciative philistines (附庸风雅者) who left them on for no reason. I insisted that words at the bottom of the screen stole the purity of film art—the faint tremble of an actor’s lip or the perfect pause before a punchline. Recent numbers, however, show that I am defending an empty castle. A 2021 survey found that 80% of viewers aged 18-25 “always” or “often” use subtitles. What makes the young so absorbed in reading while watching? The cliché blames a short attention span, but the real answer is more complicated. Growing up with phones in hand, Gen-Z treat television as only one panel in a multimedia mosaic (拼接画). The survey shows that 80% of them “double-screen”， texting or scrolling while the show runs. Subtitles act like a quick download: a glance gives the line, the eye returns to the phone, and no plot is lost. Efficiency wins over pure absorption. Social media has pushed the habit further. On TikTok or Instagram, subtitles appear by default (默认); many creators even design videos around rapid-fire (接二连三的) text that is impossible to switch off. Algorithms (算法) reward this choice: clips with open subtitles engage more viewers’ attention and are more likely to crop up in searches. Subtitles have turned from an accessibility tool into a business strategy. The change is not always welcome. Comedies lose timing when the joke is visible before it is spoken; subtle acting is flattened into text. My flatmate, once annoyed by words on the screen, now leaves them on even for films. “I don’t notice I’m reading,” she said with a shrug, “but I can’t turn them off either.” Studies show the practice improves recall of plot details, yet there is no evidence that it sharpens reading skills. Perhaps the deeper shift is in our purpose: we watch to keep up, not to sink in. After work, we cuddle up on the sofa longing not for beauty or surprise, but for the quiet satisfaction of “comprehension”. Television was meant to be an escape; now it is another task we efficiently finish. 8. Why do Gen-Z viewers use subtitles while watching TV? A. They have short attention spans. B. They want to sharpen their reading skills. C. They operate multiple functions meanwhile. D. They find dialogues unclear, 9. Why do videos with subtitles enjoy greater popularity on social media? A. They are more accessible for viewers. B. Algorithms favor them and promote them more. C. Rapid-fire subtitles appear by default. D. They enhance the function of algorithms. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the widespread use of subtitles? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why We Should All Turn Off Subtitles B. How Subtitles Ruin Film Art C. From Aid to Necessity: The Subtitle Revolution D. The Business of Subtitles: How Algorithms Drive Viewer Habits D Persistent sleeplessness is more than next-day tiredness — it may quietly speed up brain aging. A Wednesday report in Neurology followed 2,750 mentally healthy seniors (average age 70) for 5.6 years. Annual tests of memory, reasoning and brain scans showed that 14% of those with chronic insomnia later developed mild cognitive obstacle or dementia, compared with only 10% of sound sleepers. In other words, the insomniac brain had “aged” an extra 3.5 years. Lead author Diego Z. Carvalho, a sleep-medicine expert at the Mayo Clinic, stresses that the study shows association, not causation. “Poor sleep could be an early warning of decline rather than the trigger,” he says. Still, the dose matters: within the insomnia group, people who slept the fewest hours had the worst scores and the greatest loss of brain tissue. The findings fit a wave of recent research. A 2021 JAMA Neurology paper found that sleeping less than six or more than nine hours predicted weaker memory and mood problems. Yale neurologist Santiago Clocchiatti-Tuozzo, not involved in the new work, says future public-health strategies may need to protect both sleep quality and duration. Why would lost nights hurt the mind? During deep sleep the brain’s glymphatic system — think of it as a nightly street-cleaner — washes away beta-amyloid and other toxins (毒素). If the sweep is cut short, waste builds up, blocking signalling pathways. Karin G. Johnson, a sleep neurologist, adds that the cleanse follows circadian rhythms (昼夜节律), so mistimed sleep is almost as bad as short sleep. She argues for policy shifts such as later school bells to give teens — tomorrow’s seniors — enough dark hours. For now, experts offer three evidence-based tips: keep a consistent bedtime, expose yourself to morning sunlight, and remove phones from the bedroom. None guarantee perfect rest, but together they tilt (倾向) the odds toward a sharper, slower-aging brain. The night, it seems, is not wasted time; it is daily maintenance we cannot skip. 12.

Research in this field has revealed several practices that can significantly enhance life satisfaction. ____17____ For instance, regularly writing down things one is grateful for has been linked to increased optimism and better sleep. Similarly, acts of kindness, whether small or large, not only benefit recipients but also boost the giver’s sense of purpose and social connection.

Humans are inherently social beings, and the quality of our relationships deeply affects our psychological health. ____18____ Studies show that strong social support can buffer against stress and is correlated with longer, healthier lives. Meanwhile, many people tend to overlook the process. Actually, setting and working toward meaningful goals is also central to positive psychology. It emphasizes that goals aligned with personal values, rather than external pressures, foster a deeper sense of purpose. Cherishing the process of striving itself contributes to growth and life satisfaction. ____19____ While some may dismiss these practices as too simple, they are grounded in rigorous and cautious scientific research. ____20____ By intentionally applying these principles, people can build resilience (韧性) and discover greater joy in their daily lives, demonstrating that well-being is indeed a skill that can be developed. This empowering perspective puts the tools for a happier life within everyone’s reach. A. These activities shift focus from what is lacking to what is abundant. B.

I was desperate to own the latest album from my favorite band, but my pocket money barely covered everyday essentials. With no extra to spare, the album felt out of reach—and that ache of disappointment was all too real. Fortunately, my community was full of opportunities to earn extra money. Many elderly residents were definitely in need of assistance, and I decided to take on a part-time job to earn what I needed. I chose to ask Mrs. Hudson, the oldest person I knew. Well over eighty, she could no longer manage her garden, which was filled with flowers, overgrown grass, and a few struggling tomato plants. Summoning my courage, I knocked on her door. Much to my relief, she welcomed the help. It was an extremely hot summer day. My first task was to weed—kneeling in the soil, pulling out one stubborn weed after another. The work was tedious and exhausting, and before long, fatigue set in. But each time I thought of that album, my energy returned. “If only I had a portable fan,” I muttered, wiping sweat from my brow. After hours of labor, Mrs. Hudson handed me ten dollars. It was less than I’d hoped, but enough. Clutching the money, I hurried toward the supermarket, already imagining the moment I’d hold the album in my hands—a reward earned entirely by my own effort. I was practically singing as I walked. Then, across the road, I caught sight of my mother at work. I’d always known she was a saleswoman, but I’d never actually seen her on the job until that day. 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。 My mother was handing out leaflets (传单) to passers-by. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued making my way to the supermarket. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
