第二部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Multi-day cycling journeys represent a unique combination of physical challenge, absorbed travel, and intense environmental engagement. This mode of travel, cycling, allows for a close exploration of diverse landscapes. It is defined by its independence and a pace that is ideal for deep cultural and geographical appreciation. The following typical routes illustrate the varied appeal of such undertakings, each presenting a distinct set of physical demands and cultural rewards.
DANUBE CYCLE PATH
Crossing the river from its German source to its mouth in Romania constitutes an awe-inspiring 1,800-mile journey. However, its picturesque Austrian section offers a highly scenic alternative. Starting just across the German border in Passau, cyclists can conclude their journey in Slovakia, with Bratislava readily accessible from Vienna by train.
C2C(Sea-to-Sea) ROUTE
Modeled on the trans-England principle of Hadrian’s Wall, this route negotiates the rough landform of the Lake District and North Pennines. Participants often observe the tradition of engaging their back wheel in the Irish Sea at the outset, and their front wheel in the North Sea upon reaching the edge of Newcastle.
CANAL DU MIDI
This global cultural treasure in France was designed with boats not bikes in mind, but its tree-lined canal paths make for a very civilized cycle. Exodus Travels’ tour also takes in the historic walled town of Carcassonne from the Middle Ages and a chance to wash off the dust of the road on a pretty beach.
CROSS CAPE
This leg-testing journey crosses the southern tip of the African continent. Departing from Plettenberg Bay, the route progresses through the unique fynbos ecosystem, passes historic towns, and eventually reaches Stellenbosch, the heart of the Cape Winelands.

Autumn leaves may be beautiful on trees, but they become annoying once they cover the ground. Although regular raking (耙) keeps your yard clean, it often upsets you when most leaves come from a neighbor’s tree.
This presents a common problem: what should you do when your neighbor’s tree litters your yard? Some people have gathered these leaves and put the pile back onto the neighbor’s yard, calling it a return to the “rightful owner.” A video of such an act caused heated debate on TikTok.
Supporters believe it is the tree’s owner who should take responsibility for the leaves. “He has NO trees. He’s just returning what belongs to his neighbor.”
However, many people view the action as downright rude. “Welcome to Earth, where trees are all around the neighborhood,” one comment read. Another person added, “If he went through the trouble of gathering them, then dumping (倾倒) over the fence is completely inconsiderate and unacceptable.”
Manners expert Jodi RR Smith points out that having neighbors means sharing both the good and bad sides of nearby trees. “Leaves that fall on your land are your duty to handle, just as you can enjoy the tree’s shade in summer,” she noted, “the same idea applies to fruit from branches over your yard.”
Instead, she suggests having a friendly talk with the neighbor. They may not even be aware of the issue and once they find the problem, they might offer to help with cleanup costs. Or, if you’re OK with some temporary yard mess, you don’t even need to rake your leaves in the first place. The United States Department of Agriculture says that leaves on the ground can create an ideal habitat for animals like lizards, insects, and frogs.
Either way, it is usually best to keep your yard tidy and clean up the leaves — no matter where from.
24. What might be the reason for some people to put the leaves back to their neighbors?
A. To keep their own yard clean.
B. To help the neighbor rake the litters.
C. To make some eye-catching TikTok videos.
D. To remind the tree’s owner to be responsible.
25. What does the underline word “downright” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Hardly. B. Slightly. C. Properly. D. Totally.
26. What does Jodi RR Smith recommend?
A Build a fence wall.
B. Take fruit from the tree.
C. Speak to the neighbor.
D. Dump the leaves back.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Are You Responsible for Your Neighbor’s Leaves?
B. Handling Neighbor Issues with Kindness
C. Should You Make a Video of Your Leaf Problem?
D. Letting Leaves Lie: An Eco-Friendly Choice
C
Innovation consultants advise their clients to “think outside the box” to boost creativity and adaptability. So, what is this box, and how does one think outside it?
Originally, the “box” traces back to the nine-dot problem. The goal of this classic puzzle is simple: Connect all the dots in a 9-dot array (点阵) using no more than four straight lines and without lifting your pen from the page.
If this puzzle has you stuck, you’re not alone. The nine equally spaced dots give the impression of a square or box. Without realizing it, you may assume that the lines must be drawn within the boundaries of the dots. To solve the puzzle, you must let go of that assumption — you must think outside the box! In the correct solutions, the lines always extend outside of the square.
For starters, we’re not computers; we take mental shortcuts. We rely on life experience and context to make educated guesses when faced with ambiguous (含糊的) or partial information. In the nine-dot problem, we instantly recognize the pattern of a square, despite the missing lines.
We choose shortcuts when we have limited time or information; in other words, because we have no alternative. But we also cut corners out of habit. In the words of psychologist Susan Fiske, we are cognitive misers (认知吝啬鬼) — we spend as little of our cognitive resources as possible. So, although we interpret situations quickly, we rarely doubt the truthfulness of these first impressions. As a result, we may find ourselves restricted by our own false assumptions — stuck in the “box”.
Innovative thinking emphasizes change. It begins with a simple act: making a conscious effort to see things from different angles. This practice naturally leads you to question the present situation and think unconventionally, breaking you free from the norm (标准). By definition, this sort of thinking is more original. An open and flexible mind also allows one to adapt more easily to unexpected situations. And best of all, you don’t have to be an innovator or entrepreneur to think outside the box. By embracing little changes, you’ll automatically become more flexible.
28. Which of the following is a possible answer to the 9-dot problem?
A. B. C. D.
29. What does the “box” refer to in the text?
A. Classic puzzles. B. Quick solutions.
C. False assumptions. D. Constant Innovations.
30. Which of the following is a reason for taking shortcuts?
A. A lack of reliable first impressions. B. Limited life experience and context.
C. Restricted creativity and imagination. D. A tendency to minimize cognitive effort.
31. What is the key to developing innovative thinking?
A. Understanding the norm. B. Exploring new perspectives.
C. Adapting to the changing world. D. Accepting unexpected situations.
D
Screens are steadily taking over more and more of our life, leading some researchers to worry about the effect of long-term use on older adults' brain. It has been suggested that this might lead to so- called“digital dementia” — that depending on digital technology throughout our life might harm cognitive (认知) functioning in our later years.
But new research indicates this view doesn’t appear to be true, at least for the “digital pioneer” generation who first routinely used smartphones, computers and the Internet — and who are now reaching the age when cognitive decline often starts to appear.
In a paper published on Monday in Nature Human Behaviour researchers analyzed 57 studies of digital technology use and cognitive function in more than 400,000 older adults across the world. They found that people in the “digital pioneer” generation who engaged more with digital technology did not have higher rates of cognitive decline. In fact, technology use was associated with lower rates of cognitive decline.
One reason some researchers worried about “digital dementia” was previous research that linked television viewing, a passive activity, with negative outcomes such as an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症). “On the surface, most computer or smartphone screentime might seem similarly passive,” says the new paper’s co- author Michael Scullin, a neuroscience researcher at Baylor University. “But for this group of middle-aged and older adults, phones and computers have been used for mentally stimulating activities and for social connections, such as solving puzzles, engaging with the news, chatting with friends, or using reminders and alarms to help with daily activities.”
“This study provides a strong challenge to the widespread fears about ‘digital dementia’ and highlights the potential of technology as a tool for cognitive enrichment,” says Chiara Scarampi, a neuroscientist at the University of Geneva, who was not involved with the study. “‘Digital dementia’ has always felt like a catchy but overstated concept to me,” she adds.“ Cognitive offloading — using tools like reminders or GPS — is not harmful by nature. In fact, it can free up cognitive resources for more complex tasks.”
32. What do we know about the “digital pioneer” generation?
A. They are addicted to digital technology. B. They start using digital tools at an old age.
C. They are the first to use digital tools regularly. D. They start suffering from sharp cognitive decline.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The widespread use of digital tools.
B. The analysis of the new research finding.
C. The great complexity of mental activities.
D. The implication of the previous research finding.
34. What is Scarampi’s attitude toward “digital dementia”?
A. Approving. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Unclear.
35. What is the main finding of the new research mentioned in the text?
A. Digital technology use directly increases the risk of cognitive decline in older adults.
B. Regular tech use may reduce the risk of cognitive decline in seniors.
C. Older adults need more screen time to improve cognitive function.
D. Passive activities are more effective than active tech use for cognitive health.

Jimmy and Tommy, good friends and adventure enthusiasts, decided to explore an unknown forest they had heard of from local legends. After weeks of planning and gathering supplies, they set off, excited yet slightly nervous.
As they entered the forest, they were struck by its beauty and mystery. Tall, ancient trees formed a natural shelter, and sunlight created a dappled (斑驳的) pattern on the forest floor. Birds chirped, and leaves rustled (沙沙作响) in the gentle breeze. Jimmy and Tommy walked along a narrow path, amazed at the colorful flowers and occasional small animals dashing through the bushes.
Deeper in the forest, they met an elderly hunter with a weather-beaten face, carrying a rifle gun and a rabbit. He looked at them with curiosity and concern. “Young men,” he said in a rough but kind voice, “where are you headed?”
“We’re exploring this forest,” Jimmy replied excitedly. “We’ve heard so many stories about it.”
The hunter nodded slowly. “It’s beautiful, but also dangerous. There are hidden dangers and animals that can harm you. I suggest you turn back while you still can.”
But Jimmy and Tommy were too excited to follow the warning. They thanked him politely and continued on confident in their abilities.
As the day wore on, the forest became more challenging. The path disappeared, and they had to navigate (找路) through thick bushes. The air grew colder, and the forest sounds became strange and unsettling. They realized they had underestimated the forest’s complexity.
Suddenly, Tommy slipped and fell into a deep hole, twisting his ankle. He cried out in pain, and Jimmy rushed to the edge. “Are you okay?” he asked anxiously.
“I think I twisted my ankle,” Tommy replied, “I can’t climb out on my own.”
Jimmy tried to help with a stick, but it was too short. They were lost, and Jimmy didn’t know what to do next. Just then, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Multi-day cycling journeys represent a unique combination of physical challenge, absorbed travel, and intense environmental engagement. This mode of travel, cycling, allows for a close exploration of diverse landscapes. It is defined by its independence and a pace that is ideal for deep cultural and geographical appreciation. The following typical routes illustrate the varied appeal of such undertakings, each presenting a distinct set of physical demands and cultural rewards.
DANUBE CYCLE PATH
Crossing the river from its German source to its mouth in Romania constitutes an awe-inspiring 1,800-mile journey. However, its picturesque Austrian section offers a highly scenic alternative. Starting just across the German border in Passau, cyclists can conclude their journey in Slovakia, with Bratislava readily accessible from Vienna by train.
C2C(Sea-to-Sea) ROUTE
Modeled on the trans-England principle of Hadrian’s Wall, this route negotiates the rough landform of the Lake District and North Pennines. Participants often observe the tradition of engaging their back wheel in the Irish Sea at the outset, and their front wheel in the North Sea upon reaching the edge of Newcastle.
CANAL DU MIDI
This global cultural treasure in France was designed with boats not bikes in mind, but its tree-lined canal paths make for a very civilized cycle. Exodus Travels’ tour also takes in the historic walled town of Carcassonne from the Middle Ages and a chance to wash off the dust of the road on a pretty beach.
CROSS CAPE
This leg-testing journey crosses the southern tip of the African continent. Departing from Plettenberg Bay, the route progresses through the unique fynbos ecosystem, passes historic towns, and eventually reaches Stellenbosch, the heart of the Cape Winelands.

Autumn leaves may be beautiful on trees, but they become annoying once they cover the ground. Although regular raking (耙) keeps your yard clean, it often upsets you when most leaves come from a neighbor’s tree.
This presents a common problem: what should you do when your neighbor’s tree litters your yard? Some people have gathered these leaves and put the pile back onto the neighbor’s yard, calling it a return to the “rightful owner.” A video of such an act caused heated debate on TikTok.
Supporters believe it is the tree’s owner who should take responsibility for the leaves. “He has NO trees. He’s just returning what belongs to his neighbor.”
However, many people view the action as downright rude. “Welcome to Earth, where trees are all around the neighborhood,” one comment read. Another person added, “If he went through the trouble of gathering them, then dumping (倾倒) over the fence is completely inconsiderate and unacceptable.”
Manners expert Jodi RR Smith points out that having neighbors means sharing both the good and bad sides of nearby trees. “Leaves that fall on your land are your duty to handle, just as you can enjoy the tree’s shade in summer,” she noted, “the same idea applies to fruit from branches over your yard.”
Instead, she suggests having a friendly talk with the neighbor. They may not even be aware of the issue and once they find the problem, they might offer to help with cleanup costs. Or, if you’re OK with some temporary yard mess, you don’t even need to rake your leaves in the first place. The United States Department of Agriculture says that leaves on the ground can create an ideal habitat for animals like lizards, insects, and frogs.
Either way, it is usually best to keep your yard tidy and clean up the leaves — no matter where from.
24. What might be the reason for some people to put the leaves back to their neighbors?
A. To keep their own yard clean.
B. To help the neighbor rake the litters.
C. To make some eye-catching TikTok videos.
D. To remind the tree’s owner to be responsible.
25. What does the underline word “downright” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Hardly. B. Slightly. C. Properly. D. Totally.
26. What does Jodi RR Smith recommend?
A. Build a fence wall.
B. Take fruit from the tree.
C. Speak to the neighbor.
D. Dump the leaves back.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Are You Responsible for Your Neighbor’s Leaves?
B. Handling Neighbor Issues with Kindness
C. Should You Make a Video of Your Leaf Problem?
D. Letting Leaves Lie: An Eco-Friendly Choice
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. A

Innovation consultants advise their clients to “think outside the box” to boost creativity and adaptability. So, what is this box, and how does one think outside it?
Originally, the “box” traces back to the nine-dot problem. The goal of this classic puzzle is simple: Connect all the dots in a 9-dot array (点阵) using no more than four straight lines and without lifting your pen from the page.
If this puzzle has you stuck, you’re not alone. The nine equally spaced dots give the impression of a square or box. Without realizing it, you may assume that the lines must be drawn within the boundaries of the dots. To solve the puzzle, you must let go of that assumption — you must think outside the box! In the correct solutions, the lines always extend outside of the square.
For starters, we’re not computers; we take mental shortcuts. We rely on life experience and context to make educated guesses when faced with ambiguous (含糊的) or partial information. In the nine-dot problem, we instantly recognize the pattern of a square, despite the missing lines.
We choose shortcuts when we have limited time or information; in other words, because we have no alternative. But we also cut corners out of habit. In the words of psychologist Susan Fiske, we are cognitive misers (认知吝啬鬼) — we spend as little of our cognitive resources as possible. So, although we interpret situations quickly, we rarely doubt the truthfulness of these first impressions. As a result, we may find ourselves restricted by our own false assumptions — stuck in the “box”.
Innovative thinking emphasizes change. It begins with a simple act: making a conscious effort to see things from different angles. This practice naturally leads you to question the present situation and think unconventionally, breaking you free from the norm (标准). By definition, this sort of thinking is more original. An open and flexible mind also allows one to adapt more easily to unexpected situations. And best of all, you don’t have to be an innovator or entrepreneur to think outside the box. By embracing little changes, you’ll automatically become more flexible.
28. Which of the following is a possible answer to the 9-dot problem?
A. B. C. D.
29. What does the “box” refer to in the text?
A Classic puzzles. B. Quick solutions.
C. False assumptions. D. Constant Innovations.
30. Which of the following is a reason for taking shortcuts?
A. A lack of reliable first impressions. B. Limited life experience and context.
C. Restricted creativity and imagination. D. A tendency to minimize cognitive effort.
31. What is the key to developing innovative thinking?
A. Understanding the norm. B. Exploring new perspectives.
C. Adapting to the changing world. D. Accepting unexpected situations.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以“九点谜题”为切入点,解释了“跳出盒子思考”的内涵,分析了人们受错误假设束缚的原因(依赖思维捷径、认知吝啬),并阐述了培养创新思维的关键在于从不同角度看问题、打破常规。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Connect all the dots in a 9-dot array using no more than four straight lines and without lifting your pen from the page. (用不超过四条直线连接9个点阵中的所有点,过程中笔尖不能离开纸面。)”可知,只有选项B符合要求。故选B。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Without realizing it, you may assume that the lines must be drawn within the boundaries of the dots. To solve the puzzle, you must let go of that assumption — you must think outside the box! (你可能会下意识地假定,线条必须画在点的边界范围内。而要解开这道谜题,你必须抛开这个假设——也就是说,你必须跳出盒子!)”及第五段中“As a result, we may find ourselves restricted by our own false assumptions — stuck in the ‘box’. (结果就是,我们可能会被自己的错误假设所束缚,陷入‘盒子’之中。)”可知,“盒子”指的是人们在思考时形成的错误假设(如默认线条不能超出点阵边界)。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“We choose shortcuts when we have limited time or information; in other words, because we have no alternative. But we also cut corners out of habit. In the words of psychologist Susan Fiske, we are cognitive misers — we spend as little of our cognitive resources as possible. (我们在时间或信息有限时会选择走捷径;换句话说,是因为我们别无选择。但我们也会出于习惯偷懒。用心理学家苏珊・菲斯克的话来说,我们都是‘认知吝啬鬼’——会尽可能少地消耗认知资源。)”可知,选择走捷径的原因在于人们倾向于尽可能减少认知消耗。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Innovative thinking emphasizes change. It begins with a simple act: making a conscious effort to see things from different angles. (创新思维强调变革。它始于一个简单的举动:有意识地努力从不同角度看待事物。)”可知,培养创新思维的关键在于从不同角度看待事物,也就是探索新的视角。故选B。
D
Screens are steadily taking over more and more of our life, leading some researchers to worry about the effect of long-term use on older adults' brain. It has been suggested that this might lead to so- called“digital dementia” — that depending on digital technology throughout our life might harm cognitive (认知的) functioning in our later years.
But new research indicates this view doesn’t appear to be true, at least for the “digital pioneer” generation who first routinely used smartphones, computers and the Internet — and who are now reaching the age when cognitive decline often starts to appear.
In a paper published on Monday in Nature Human Behaviour researchers analyzed 57 studies of digital technology use and cognitive function in more than 400,000 older adults across the world. They found that people in the “digital pioneer” generation who engaged more with digital technology did not have higher rates of cognitive decline. In fact, technology use was associated with lower rates of cognitive decline.
One reason some researchers worried about “digital dementia” was previous research that linked television viewing, a passive activity, with negative outcomes such as an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症). “On the surface, most computer or smartphone screentime might seem similarly passive,” says the new paper’s co- author Michael Scullin, a neuroscience researcher at Baylor University. “But for this group of middle-aged and older adults, phones and computers have been used for mentally stimulating activities and for social connections, such as solving puzzles, engaging with the news, chatting with friends, or using reminders and alarms to help with daily activities.”
“This study provides a strong challenge to the widespread fears about ‘digital dementia’ and highlights the potential of technology as a tool for cognitive enrichment,” says Chiara Scarampi, a neuroscientist at the University of Geneva, who was not involved with the study. “‘Digital dementia’ has always felt like a catchy but overstated concept to me,” she adds.“ Cognitive offloading — using tools like reminders or GPS — is not harmful by nature. In fact, it can free up cognitive resources for more complex tasks.”
32. What do we know about the “digital pioneer” generation?
A. They are addicted to digital technology. B. They start using digital tools at an old age.
C. They are the first to use digital tools regularly. D. They start suffering from sharp cognitive decline.
33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The widespread use of digital tools.
B. The analysis of the new research finding.
C. The great complexity of mental activities.
D. The implication of the previous research finding.
34. What is Scarampi’s attitude toward “digital dementia”?
A. Approving. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Unclear.
35. What is the main finding of the new research mentioned in the text?
A. Digital technology use directly increases the risk of cognitive decline in older adults.
B. Regular tech use may reduce the risk of cognitive decline in seniors.
C. Older adults need more screen time to improve cognitive function.
D. Passive activities are more effective than active tech use for cognitive health.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要是关于新的研究表明长期使用数字技术(如智能手机、电脑)的“数字先驱”一代并未出现更高的认知衰退风险,反而可能因技术使用(如解谜、社交)降低认知衰退概率,反驳了“数字痴呆症”的担忧。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But new research indicates this view doesn’t appear to be true, at least for the “digital pioneer” generation who first routinely used smartphones, computers and the Internet — and who are now reaching the age when cognitive decline often starts to appear.(但新研究表明,这种观点似乎并不成立,至少对于“数字先驱”一代而言是如此。这一代人是第一批常规使用智能手机、电脑和互联网的群体,如今他们正步入认知衰退通常开始出现的年龄段。)”可知,“数字先驱”一代指的是首批定期使用数字工具的人群。故选C项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“One reason some researchers worried about “digital dementia” was previous research that linked television viewing, a passive activity, with negative outcomes such as an increased risk ofAlzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症). “On the surface, most computer or smartphone screentime might seem similarly passive,” says the new paper's co- author Michael Scullin, a neuroscience researcher at Baylor University. “But for this group of middle-aged and older adults, phones and computers have been used for mentally stimulating activities and for social connections, such as solving puzzles, engaging with the news, chatting with friends, or using reminders and alarms to help with daily activities.” (一些研究人员担忧“数字痴呆症”的原因之一,是此前有研究将看电视这种被动活动与负面结果(如阿尔兹海默症患病风险增加)关联起来。贝勒大学的神经科学研究员、该新论文的合著者迈克尔・斯卡林表示,“表面上看,大多数使用电脑或智能手机的屏幕时间似乎同样具有被动性。但对于这一群体的中老年人来说,手机和电脑一直被用于刺激性的脑力活动和社交联系,比如解谜、关注新闻、与朋友聊天,或是使用提醒和闹钟功能协助日常活动”)”可知,本段通过对比被动看电视(导致认知风险)与主动使用智能设备(如解谜、社交、新闻互动),解释了新研究的发现——数字技术因促进脑力活动反而降低认知衰退率。所以B选项The analysis of the new research finding. (对新研究发现的分析。)概括了段落核心。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Digital dementia’ has always felt like a catchy but overstated concept to me,” she adds. “Cognitive offloading — using tools like reminders or GPS — is not harmful by nature. In fact, it can free up cognitive resources for more complex tasks.” (她补充道:“数字痴呆症”向来是一个吸睛但言过其实的概念。“认知卸载——用提醒或全球定位系统等工具——本质上并无害处。事实上,它能为更复杂的任务释放认知资源”)”可知,斯卡拉皮认为“数字痴呆症”吸睛但言过其实,同时强调技术辅助(如提醒功能)能释放认知资源,本质无害,肯定其技术作用,表明她对“数字痴呆症”这一说法持批判态度。故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that people in the “digital pioneer” generation who engaged more with digital technology did not have higher rates of cognitive decline. In fact, technology use was associated with lower rates of cognitive decline.(他们发现,更多使用数字技术的“数字先驱”一代认知能力下降的概率并没有更高。事实上,使用科技与更低的认知衰退率相关。)”可知,新研究的主要发现是经常使用科技可能降低老年人认知衰退的风险。故选B项。

You might be leaving some happiness on the table by doing your everyday activities all by yourself. A new study has found that almost any activity becomes more ____41____ when done with others. The ____42____ of another person makes life’s routines a little brighter.
Drawing on data from over 40,000 Americans, the study showed that participants consistently viewed experiences ____43____ social activities as more pleasant. Generally, the effect was ____44____, holding true across data collected over several years (2010, 2012, 2013, and 2021). The only exception came in 2021, when doing food-related chores with others appeared to ____45____ moods.
Unsurprisingly, in this respect, the biggest boosts were linked to activities ____46____ by nature. Yet even individual hobbies such as reading saw an increase in happiness when ____47____. Epley, a behavioral scientist in Chicago, observed, “This continues to show how surprisingly positive social ____48____ is.”
The lesson, researchers suggest, is to be ____49____. Schedule time with others. Even daily routines can become ____50____. Catch up with a friend on the phone — social contact doesn’t always need to be face-to-face; phone calls also ____51____. Or share a ride home. As Epley puts it: “Having a good life is about ____52____ positive experiences together until it becomes a habit.”
In short, happiness may not ____53____ what we do, but who we do it with — a ____54____ that our instinct (本能) for connection remains our most reliable source of ____55____.

考查形容词词义辨析。句意:一项新研究发现,几乎任何活动,只要和别人一起做,都会变得更令人愉悦。A. easy容易的;B. enjoyable令人愉悦的;C. efficient高效的;D. educational有教育意义的。根据前文“You might be leaving some happiness on the table by doing your everyday activities all by yourself”可知,独自做事会错失幸福感,因此和他人一起做事会更“令人愉悦”。故选B项。
【42题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:他人的陪伴让生活中的日常琐事变得更明朗一些。A. advice建议;B. praise表扬;C. company陪伴;D. help帮助。根据前文“when done with others”可知,此处强调的是“陪伴”的作用。故选C项。

【45题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:唯一的例外出现在2021年,当时和别人一起做与食物相关的家务似乎会抑制心情。A. reflect反映;B. lift提升;C. hide隐藏;D. dampen抑制、减弱。根据前文“The only exception”可知,2021年的情况与研究结论相反,即这类活动不会提升心情,反而会“抑制”心情。故选D项。
【46题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:不出所料,在这方面,幸福感提升最明显的与本质上具有社交属性的活动有关。A. creative有创造力的;B. colorful多彩的;C. social社交的;D. fun有趣的。根据前文“the study showed that participants consistently viewed experiences __3__ social activities as more pleasant.”可知,此处指“社交属性”的活动。故选C项。

【50题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:即便是日常琐事也能变成机遇。A. challenges挑战;B. experiences经历;C. tasks任务;D. opportunities机遇。根据前文研究结论,和他人一起做事能提升幸福感,因此日常琐事也能变成带来愉悦的“机遇”。故选D项。
【51题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:和朋友通个电话聊聊近况——社交不一定要面对面,打电话也管用。A. exist存在;B. appear出现;C. count管用、重要;D. change改变。根据前文“social contact doesn’t always need to be face-to-face”可知,打电话这种非面对面的社交方式也是“管用的”。故选C项。

We gathered at the school hall at 2:30 p.m. First of all, an astronaut guest shared space exploration stories, followed by a video about lunar missions. Then, we participated in a hands-on activity to build and exchange our hand-made rocket models, enjoying the fun of creation. Finally, we joined in a space-themed group discussion, sharing our dreams and insights about space exploration freely.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jimmy and Tommy, good friends and adventure enthusiasts, decided to explore an unknown forest they had heard of from local legends. After weeks of planning and gathering supplies, they set off, excited yet slightly nervous.
As they entered the forest, they were struck by its beauty and mystery. Tall, ancient trees formed a natural shelter, and sunlight created a dappled (斑驳的) pattern on the forest floor. Birds chirped, and leaves rustled (沙沙作响) in the gentle breeze. Jimmy and Tommy walked along a narrow path, amazed at the colorful flowers and occasional small animals dashing through the bushes.
Deeper in the forest, they met an elderly hunter with a weather-beaten face, carrying a rifle gun and a rabbit. He looked at them with curiosity and concern. “Young men,” he said in a rough but kind voice, “where are you headed?”
“We’re exploring this forest,” Jimmy replied excitedly. “We’ve heard so many stories about it.”
The hunter nodded slowly. “It’s beautiful, but also dangerous. There are hidden dangers and animals that can harm you. I suggest you turn back while you still can.”
But Jimmy and Tommy were too excited to follow the warning. They thanked him politely and continued on, confident in their abilities.
As the day wore on, the forest became more challenging. The path disappeared, and they had to navigate (找路) through thick bushes. The air grew colder, and the forest sounds became strange and unsettling. They realized they had underestimated the forest’s complexity.
Suddenly, Tommy slipped and fell into a deep hole, twisting his ankle. He cried out in pain, and Jimmy rushed to the edge. “Are you okay?” he asked anxiously.
“I think I twisted my ankle,” Tommy replied, “I can’t climb out on my own.”
Jimmy tried to help with a stick, but it was too short. They were lost, and Jimmy didn’t know what to do next. Just then, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jimmy looked up and saw the elderly hunter approaching them.

The hunter suggested taking them to his cottage to rest for the night.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jimmy looked up and saw the elderly hunter approaching them. The hunter’s face softened as he saw Tommy in the hole. “Don’t worry,” he said calmly. He quickly took out a long rope from his bag, tied one end around a strong tree, and lowered the other end into the hole. “Hold on tight, and I’ll pull you up,” he instructed. A moment later, Tommy was carefully lifted out. Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief. Jimmy and Tommy were grateful for his help. Seeing Tommy’s injured ankle and the fading light, the hunter shook his head. “It’s getting late, and it’s not safe to travel in the dark.”
The hunter suggested taking them to his cottage to rest for the night. Jimmy and Tommy gratefully accepted the offer. The hunter’s cottage was cozy and warm, with a fire burning in the fireplace. He applied some ice to Tommy’s ankle and gave them some hot food. As they sat by the fire, the hunter shared stories of his own adventures in the forest. Jimmy and Tommy listened in awe. The next morning, they left with a newfound respect for nature and a promise to be more cautious in their future adventures. This experience taught them the value of kindness and the importance of respecting the unknown.
