Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
(2025·中华中学模拟考试)
A
King Shahryar,betrayed(背叛)by his wife,decides to marry a new woman each night and have her killed by morning to ensure he is never betrayed again.Scheherazade volunteers to marry the king.Each evening,she begins an engaging story but stops at dawn,leaving him eager for more.Night after night,she keeps him attracted with new tales,and over 1,001 nights,the king falls in love with her and abandons his cruel ways.
This ancient tale from One Thousand and One Nights highlights storytelling's impact.Our recent research shows that strong storytelling skills can dramatically improve someone's well-being.
At its core,storytelling helps people find meaning from life's chaos.Studies show we shape our identities by turning experiences into personal stories.Skilled storytellers excel at two key skills:they need to connect events logically and they must learn to see the world through the eyes of their characters,understanding the“why”of what drives people.Applying these two skills to their own lives,skillful storytellers use the first to identify and pursue what gives their life meaning,while the second develops a mindset that prioritizes the “why” behind their actions over just the “how”.
To illustrate this point,we conducted studies with 800 participants.We measured storytelling ability through self-reports,friend evaluations and expert reviews on lab experiments where each participant told one story about himself and the other with three given random words.In addition to these assessments of storytelling skills,we asked participants questions to get a sense of how meaningful they found life and whether they approached decisions with a “why” mindset rather than a “how” mindset.
Results consistently linked storytelling skills to stronger life meaning and goal clarity.Personality also mattered:people open to new experiences collected more interesting life stories,while shy people used storytelling to balance out their limited social interaction.
A strong“why”mindset connects with reduced stress and extended life.Storytelling also builds social connections.By helping people express their purpose and build relationships,stories may indirectly strengthen both mental and physical health.
Storytelling workshops,now popular globally,may do more than teach communication—they could help participants redefine their life's direction.

(2025·山东潍坊一中月考)
I arrived home from work,my mind racing.I was scheduled to perform an experiment using a pricey piece of equipment,but I had spent the whole day worrying about the experiment which was on the top of my agenda(日程),and I amazingly longed to shut off my anxious thoughts.So after dinner,I made a cup of hot chocolate,stretched myself on my sofa,and opened a page.Almost instantly,my mind left behind the details of experimental design and stepped into a land of monsters,magic dust,and man-like bears comprising a wonderful world distinct(不同的)from my daily life.It was exactly what I needed.
Growing up,I was virtually never a big fan of novels.My classmates would be crazy about the latest Harry Potter book,while my copy sat collecting dust on a shelf.Instead,I would choose to read through the reference books related to my academic fields for better grades.After I started graduate school,extra-curricular reading didn't appeal to me at all but I spent most of my time on campus digesting research papers and textbooks and my mind couldn't handle processing fact-filled nonfiction books at home,too.So I knew that I needed to find a way to enjoy reading again.
To help me stick with it,I made a New Year's resolution:I would read two fiction books per month for the entire year.The result was an almost instant appreciation of fiction,along with many unexpected results including ones that have benefited my schoolwork.
What surprised me the most was how much I learned.Some of the best books I read were historical fictional stories happening in a realistic historical setting.I learned about life in different countries,as well as struggles people there faced during difficult periods in their histories.The books have helped me build sympathy and understanding,with an unexpected benefit:I've started to think more deeply about the diversity of issues in the scientific community and could serve it,heart and soul.

Ⅱ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分)
(2025·河南省漯河市高级中学月考)
Recently while driving,I heard poet Robert Pinsky on the radio.He talked about poetry and said something that __1__ the way I had always thought about the subject.The idea is so __2__ that I am almost embarrassed to admit it.It is something similar to this:when we look at a painting,we don't expect ourselves to __3__ its deep meaning,or any meaning at all,right away.We enjoy __4__ because we like it,but we don't know why.We generally __5__ this as aesthetics(美学),a word that __6__ the most inartistic recognize and willingly accept.
However,when words on a page come into view,our brains __7__,and we start trying to understand word structure.If we can't understand the meaning within the first few __8__,then our brains,trained since childhood in the task of“reading comprehension”,may start to panic about our __9__.The information becomes difficult,maybe even unknowable and therefore __10__.This can happen to even a great __11__ or a lover of literature—for poetry is a different animal.
However,as Pinsky __12__ that day,if we can recognize this,let it go,and __13__ ourselves to read poetry as we would look at a painting,with no __14__ of “translation”.Instead we should decide in our guts(直觉)if we like it—or maybe even __15__ it.Once we fall in love with poetry,a true passion is awakened.
