It was part of a charity program he started called Reading Among Ruins, which was part of a larger effort — Together We Rebuild. Just weeks earlier, wildfires had torn through Los Angeles. More than 16,000 structures were destroyed, including Rohan’s home as well as his beloved book collection. “I was heartbroken,” he said. “It made me wonder how other kids felt about losing their books.” That question pushed Rohan to take action. “I wanted to help,” he said. And he went all out to get books to kids who were affected by the fires. The program gave away more than 1,000 books to kids in the first month. Veeren Mehra was one of them. He said he learned a powerful lesson: “If you are in a tough situation, people will be there for you.” 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 When the first modern Olympics kicked off in Athens in 1896, it wasn’t clear whether they’d last. However, it continued in 1900 and 1904, but not as a main attraction. Some of the Olympic events might seem a bit unusual to today’s sports fans. Chariot(战车) Racing Starting around 684 B.C., drivers raced each other in horse-drawn chariots at the Olympics, sometimes crashing into one another. Only men could join in Olympic events as athletes, but wealthy women could show their support for chariots as sponsors. Because it was a chariot’s funder who received the victory title, not the racer himself, this was the only way women could “win” at the Olympics. Hot Air Balloon Racing With the expanded time, the 1900 Olympics featured many more athletes and events than the 1896 Olympics, including various hot air balloon competitions. Hot air balloon drivers competed in terms of distance traveled, altitude reached and best photograph taken from a balloon. However, hot air balloon racing made its appearance for the first time and also the last time in 1900. Live Pigeon(鸽子) Shooting Another event that appeared first at the 1900 Olympics was live pigeon shooting. In this competition, organizers set free pigeons into the air in front of a competitor, who then shot as many as possible. The winner was a Belgian man named Lcon de Lun, who shot 21 pigeons. Altogether, the competitors killed around 300 pigeons. Luckily, live pigeon shooting only appeared at the Olympics once. Painting Starting with the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm and continuing until the 1948 games in London, the Olympics held art competitions in painting as well as sculpture, music, architecture and literature. The art competitions were called off because so many competitors were professional artists, and the Olympics were supposed to make the amateurs (people who didn’t get paid for their athletic or artistic talent) shine. 21. How could a woman be involved in Chariot Racing? A. By training a chariot driver. B. By funding a chariot. C. By competing in the race. D. By signing up as a volunteer. 22. What do Hot Air Balloon Racing and Live Pigeon Shooting have in common? A. They involved the use of animals as a necessary part. B. They were warmly welcomed by the audience. C. They required excellent skills in photography. D. They only existed once in history as Olympic events. 23. Why were the art competitions removed from the Olympic Games? A. The costs of organizing them were too high. B. The quality of the artistic works was far from satisfactory. C. The competitors were not what the organizers expected. D. The organizers believed arts were not as important as sports. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四种曾经在奥运会上出现过的比赛项目。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干可定位到原文“Chariot(战车) Racing”部分中的“Only men could join in Olympic events as athletes, but wealthy women could show their support for chariots as sponsors. Because it was a chariot’s funder who received the victory title, not the racer himself, this was the only way women could “win” at the Olympics.(只有男性可以作为运动员参加奥运会，但富有的女性可以作为赞助商表示对战车的支持。因为获得胜利头衔的是战车的资助者，而不是赛车手本人，这是女性在奥运会上“获胜”的唯一途径。)”可知，只有男性可以作为运动员参加战车比赛项目，而获得胜利头衔的是战车的资助者，所以如果一个女性要参与到战车比赛中就要赞助一辆战车。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干可分别定位到“Hot Air Balloon Racing”和“Live Pigeon(鸽子) Shooting”两个部分的最后一句话“However, hot air balloon racing made its appearance for the first time and also the last time in 1900.(然而，1900年热气球竞赛首次出现，也是最后一次出现。)”和“Luckily, live pigeon shooting only appeared at the Olympics once.(幸运的是，活鸽射击只在奥运会上出现过一次。)”可知，这两个运动项目在奥运历史上都只出现过一次。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据题干可定位到最后一段中的“The art competitions were called off because so many competitors were professional artists, and the Olympics were supposed to make the amateurs (people who didn’t get paid for their athletic or artistic talent) shine.(艺术比赛被取消了，因为很多参赛者都是专业艺术家，而奥运会本应让业余爱好者（那些没有因运动天赋或艺术天赋而获得报酬的人）大放异彩。)”可知，参加艺术比赛的很多都是专业艺术家，而不是业余爱好者，由此可推测出，取消艺术比赛是因为参赛者并不是组织者所期望的人。故选C。 B On the third day of school, my teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my way to a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem hopeless, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed her own career and life for my opportunities, and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began. “Eighty percent is schoolwork, and twenty percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier selling ice-cream, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest at night won’t ever break. My routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms. 24. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Symbol. B. Solution. C. Cause. D. Foundation. 25. What does the mother value for the author? A. The author’s devotion to schoolwork. B. The sacrifice for her daughter. C. The score of the author’s exam. D. The author’s overall well-being. 26. Why does the author mention “rubber band”? A. To show a shift in the author’s perspective on pressure. B. To prove she is good at balancing study and rest. C. To show a bond between the author and her mother. D. To explain why she failed the Red Cross application 27. What can we infer about the author after talking with her mother? A. She stops pursuing academic excellence B. She decides to give up applying for universities C. She becomes more confident in facing future challenges D. She focuses more on extracurricular activities 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因老师的话、父亲的担忧以及红十字会的拒绝而陷入崩溃，母亲的一番话让作者对压力的看法发生转变，变得更有信心面对未来挑战。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. (我崩溃的最终catalyst是来自地区红十字会青年委员会的意外拒绝)”可知，红十字会青年委员会的拒绝导致了作者的崩溃，所以“catalyst”意思是“原因”，与C选项“Cause”相符。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health. (但最重要的是，百分之百重要的是你的心理健康)”以及第四段中的““Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. (“没有什么比你的健康更重要，”她接着说)”可知，母亲看重作者的整体幸福，包括身心健康。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This rejection made my future seem hopeless, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. (这次拒绝让我的未来显得毫无希望，我像一根被拉到极限的橡皮筋一样，彻底崩断了)”第五段中的“Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest at night won’t ever break. (她的见解让我如释重负。 我意识到，橡皮筋不必一直紧绷着。 一根白天束发、夜晚能得到放松的橡皮筋，永远不会断裂)”可知，作者之前把自己比作被过度拉伸而断掉的橡皮筋，而现在意识到橡皮筋也可以适时休息，这体现了作者对压力看法的转变。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid.(对失败的恐惧失去了力量。我仍在追求卓越，但我不再害怕)”可知，与母亲交谈后，作者在面对未来挑战时变得更有信心。故选C项。 C The human mind is deeply influenced by the collective (集体的). This phenomenon, termed herd mentality, describes the tendency of individuals to adopt the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes of the groups to which they belong. It shapes our thoughts and decisions, often without conscious awareness. From social media trends to consumer behavior patterns, herd mentality affects how we think and act. But are we truly independent thinkers, or are we simply following the crowd? Herd mentality has evolutionary roots. For early humans, survival depended on group cohesion (凝聚力). Those who stayed with the tribe (部落) enjoyed protection and access to resources, while loners faced threats alone. Over generations, this adaptive behavior became a natural part of life. Today, although the physical dangers of being alone have decreased, the psychological pull of the group remains powerful. Human beings are naturally social creatures, driven by a fundamental need for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Our identities are often tied to the groups we belong to, and the fear of rejection drives us to conform, even at the cost of our personal beliefs. This group pressure is strengthened by cognitive biases (认知偏见) that twist judgment. The herd mentality leads individuals to trust the majority opinion without critically evaluating it, while repeated exposure to the same information can make it seem more believable. Social media intensifies these biases by promoting popular content over truth, creating closed-information circles that support existing beliefs rather than challenge them. In certain circumstances, herd mentality can have positive effects, particularly in situations where individuals have limited information or knowledge. Following the majority can lead to better outcomes, as the collective knowledge of the group goes beyond that of any single person. However, too much herd mentality poses risks, including holding back independent thought, harming creativity, and facilitating the spread of misinformation. Therefore, developing critical thinking — questioning assumptions, evaluating sources, and exploring diverse perspectives — is essential for both personal independence and collective progress. 28. Which behavior best demonstrates herd mentality? A. Accepting expert advice in complicated situations. B. Improving a solution with individual creativity. C. Choosing a hobby based on personal interest and practice. D. Supporting group opinions to fit in with others. 29. Why did early humans develop herd mentality? A. To strengthen their hunting skills. B. To increase their chances of survival. C. To enhance their social status. D. To meet their emotional needs. 30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The ways individuals form their sense of self-identity. B. The negative effect of herd mentality on creativity. C. The role of social media in shaping personal beliefs. D. The factors contributing to herd mentality. 31. Which statement will the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Herd mentality is unavoidable in highly connected societies. B. It is significant to maintain critical thinking in a trend-following society. C. False information can lead individuals to rely on group opinions. D. True independence is achieved by not accepting different ideas. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍从众心理的成因、影响及应对方法。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“This phenomenon, termed herd mentality, describes the tendency of individuals to adopt the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes of the groups to which they belong.(这种现象被称为从众心理，指个人倾向于接受所属群体的行为、信念与态度)”可知，支持群体观点以融入他人是体现从众心理的行为。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Herd mentality has evolutionary roots. For early humans, survival depended on group cohesion (凝聚力). Those who stayed with the tribe (部落) enjoyed protection and access to resources, while loners faced threats alone.(从众心理有进化根源。对早期人类而言，生存依赖群体凝聚力。留在部落中的人能得到保护、获得资源，而独行者只能独自面对危险)”可知，早期人类发展出从众心理是为了增加生存机会，故选B项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Human beings are naturally social creatures, driven by a fundamental need for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Our identities are often tied to the groups we belong to, and the fear of rejection drives us to conform, even at the cost of our personal beliefs. This group pressure is strengthened by cognitive biases (认知偏见) that twist judgment. The herd mentality leads individuals to trust the majority opinion without critically evaluating it, while repeated exposure to the same information can make it seem more believable. Social media intensifies these biases by promoting popular content over truth, creating closed-information circles that support existing beliefs rather than challenge them.(人类天生是社会性动物，受被接纳与归属感这一基本需求所驱动。 我们的身份往往与所属群体紧密相连，而对被排斥的恐惧会驱使我们从众，甚至不惜牺牲个人信念。 这种群体压力会因扭曲判断的认知偏见而进一步加剧。 从众心理会让个体不加批判地相信多数人的观点，而反复接触同一信息也会使其显得更可信。 社交媒体则加剧了这些偏见：它优先推送热门内容而非真相，制造出封闭信息圈—— 这些圈子只会强化既有观念，而非对其提出质疑)”可知，第三段主要讲述了导致从众心理的因素，包括人类的社会属性、认知偏见以及社交媒体的作用，故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Therefore, developing critical thinking — questioning assumptions, evaluating sources, and exploring diverse perspectives — is essential for both personal independence and collective progress.(因此，培养批判性思维——质疑假设、评估信息来源并探索不同观点——对于个人独立和集体进步都至关重要)”可知，作者可能会同意在跟随潮流的社会中保持批判性思维是重要的，故选B项。 D Nowadays, it is more common for people to express their thoughts in an e-mail or text. In fact, more and more students use technology for written communication in their lives. Even so, research shows that teaching handwriting skills has its benefits (好处). However, are the benefits worth spending valuable classroom time on teaching handwriting skills when students could be learning more about computer keyboarding? States across the country have good reasons to require students to learn computer keyboarding skills. For one, students are learning a technology that will help them communicate faster with more people and in many different forms, such as e-mails, websites, blogs, and so on. Also, the better a student's computer keyboarding skills, the greater the chance that student has to become a better writer. Computer tools such as the grammar and spell check make correcting quick and easy, although not 100% accurate (准确无误的). With these and many other tools, students gain important computer skills. Furthermore, students no longer have to worry about their writing being graded poorly by teachers. All in all, computer keyboarding skills are a step in the right direction. Still, the advantages of computer keyboarding skills may not be enough to leave handwriting instruction in the dust. Marlena Hamilton, professor of neurology at University of Pennsylvania, did an experiment with her co-workers to study what happens in students' brains when writing. They found that many of the areas of the brain light up. These are the same areas that are used to learn to read. They then wondered if the same would be true when students looked at letters on a keyboard. “What we found,” she states, “is that brains are much less involved when we just view letters. When we actually use our hands to make things, the brain works much harder.” Schools across the nation are looking at the evidence and deciding what to do. William McIntyre a reading coach at Sunshine Elementary School in Albany, New York, says, “What we have learned from the research is that learning handwriting benefits students educationally. What we also know is that students need to be taught keyboarding skills.” Now, it is up to each school to make a decision. 32. What does the second paragraph mainly want to show? A. The roles of computer tools. B. The importance of communication skills. C. The advantages of keyboarding skills. D. The necessity of developing writing skills. 33. What's the author's attitude to students' learning keyboarding skills? A. Worried B. Doubtful C. Supportive D. Uncaring 34. What can the result of Hamilton's experiment prove? A. Handwriting is helpful for learning. B. Keyboarding skills are very useful. C. Keyboarding makes our brain more active. D. Handwriting is more difficult than keyboarding. 35. What kind of decision does the author refer to in the last paragraph? A. Whether schools should still teach handwriting. B Whether schools should offer computer classes. C. Whether students should learn keyboarding skills. D. Whether students should use the grammar and spell check. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍现在通过键盘交流非常普遍，学习键盘技能对学生来说有很多优势，但是书法技能也可以提高学生的学习能力。 【32题详解】 段落大意题。根据文章第二段“States across the country have good reasons to require students to learn computer keyboarding skills.(美国各州都有充分的理由要求学生学习电脑键盘技能。)”及本段内容可知，第二段主要介绍键盘技能的优势。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“All in all, computer keyboarding skills are a step in the right direction.(总而言之，计算机键盘技能是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。)”可推断，作者认为学习键盘技能是正确的，因此作者对于学生学习键盘技能是赞成的。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They found that many of the areas of the brain light up. These are the same areas that are used to learn to read.(他们发现大脑的许多区域都被激活了。这些区域是用来学习阅读的。)”可知，汉密尔顿的实验结果证明手写能激活大脑的学习区域，所以手写对学习有帮助。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“William McIntyre, a reading coach at Sunshine Elementary School in Albany, New York, says, “What we have learned from the research is that learning handwriting benefits students educationally. What we also know is that students need to be taught keyboarding skills.” Now, it is up to each school to make a decision.(纽约奥尔巴尼阳光小学的阅读教练威廉·麦金太尔说：“我们从研究中了解到，学习书法对学生的教育有好处。我们还知道，学生需要学习键盘技能。”现在，每个学校都要做出决定。)”可知，作者认为书写对学生的教育有好处，他认为学校应该对此做决定了，所以作者提到的决定是是否学校应该教学生书法。故选A。 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。 How to Build a Strong Relationship with Your Roommate Living with a roommate can be a great experience, but it also has the potential to be a nightmare if not managed properly. ____36____ Here are some tips to help you build a strong relationship with your roommate.

These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering from an operation. I hoped for strength and happiness, but the future seemed so hopeless. Suddenly, Harry jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) seated in a rubber tree. It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before. When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Look, Harry,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They’re going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree. Harry could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits too. Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was safe enough for a nest, but the rubber tree’s thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves’ nest to the ground. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart. I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from the beginning. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nothing had happened. 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。 Moved by their perseverance, I decided to build a new nest for the doves. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look! The birds are back!” Harry announced with excitement. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 （181） Moved by their perseverance, I decided to build a new nest for the doves. I searched through the garage, gathering materials like twigs, small pieces of cloth, and some soft hay. Harry joined me, his eyes shining with excitement. Together, we carefully crafted a sturdy nest, making sure it was secure and comfortable. As we worked, I couldn’t help but think about how these little birds had brought so much hope and joy into our lives. Once the nest was done, I used a long pole to place it high in the rubber tree, praying that the doves would accept our offering. “Look! The birds are back!” Harry announced with excitement. I rushed to the window and saw the doves sitting in the new nest. They cooed softly, as if expressing their gratitude. Harry jumped up and down, clapping his hands. “They like it, Mama! They like it!” he exclaimed. I smiled and hugged him, feeling a warm sense of satisfaction. I realized that even in the face of difficulties, a little act of kindness could make a big difference. These doves had not only found a safe home but also taught Harry and me the beauty of giving and the rewards of perseverance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者在手术后身体不适、心情低落时，与四岁的儿子哈利一起观察到一对鸽子在院子里的橡胶树上筑巢。尽管鸟巢两次被大风摧毁，但鸽子们坚持不懈。作者被鸽子的毅力打动，与哈利一起为它们制作了一个坚固的新巢。鸽子接受了新巢，这让哈利非常兴奋，作者也从中感受到了善意的力量，认识到即使面对困难，小小的善举也能带来很大的改变，同时鸽子也教会了作者和哈利给予的美好以及坚持的意义。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我被它们的毅力所感动，决定为它们建一个新巢。”可知，第一段可描写作者和儿子一起为鸽子重建新巢的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容““看！鸟儿回来了！”哈利兴奋地宣布。”可知，第二段可描写鸽子飞进新巢后儿子很兴奋以及作者的感受。 2.续写线索：决定建一个新巢——重建新巢的过程——期待鸽子回巢——鸽子飞进新巢——儿子很是兴奋——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①搜寻：searched /looked for ②.大叫道：exclaimed/ shouted ③.拥抱：hugged/ embraced 情绪类 ①.快乐：joy/ delight ②.感激之情：gratitude/ appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1].

However, it continued in 1900 and 1904, but not as a main attraction. Some of the Olympic events might seem a bit unusual to today’s sports fans. Chariot(战车) Racing Starting around 684 B.C., drivers raced each other in horse-drawn chariots at the Olympics, sometimes crashing into one another. Only men could join in Olympic events as athletes, but wealthy women could show their support for chariots as sponsors. Because it was a chariot’s funder who received the victory title, not the racer himself, this was the only way women could “win” at the Olympics. Hot Air Balloon Racing With the expanded time, the 1900 Olympics featured many more athletes and events than the 1896 Olympics, including various hot air balloon competitions. Hot air balloon drivers competed in terms of distance traveled, altitude reached and best photograph taken from a balloon. However, hot air balloon racing made its appearance for the first time and also the last time in 1900. Live Pigeon(鸽子) Shooting Another event that appeared first at the 1900 Olympics was live pigeon shooting. In this competition, organizers set free pigeons into the air in front of a competitor, who then shot as many as possible. The winner was a Belgian man named Lcon de Lun, who shot 21 pigeons. Altogether, the competitors killed around 300 pigeons. Luckily, live pigeon shooting only appeared at the Olympics once. Painting Starting with the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm and continuing until the 1948 games in London, the Olympics held art competitions in painting as well as sculpture, music, architecture and literature. The art competitions were called off because so many competitors were professional artists, and the Olympics were supposed to make the amateurs (people who didn’t get paid for their athletic or artistic talent) shine. 21. How could a woman be involved in Chariot Racing? A. By training a chariot driver. B. By funding a chariot. C. By competing in the race. D. By signing up as a volunteer. 22. What do Hot Air Balloon Racing and Live Pigeon Shooting have in common? A. They involved the use of animals as a necessary part. B. They were warmly welcomed by the audience. C. They required excellent skills in photography. D. They only existed once in history as Olympic events. 23. Why were the art competitions removed from the Olympic Games? A. The costs of organizing them were too high. B. The quality of the artistic works was far from satisfactory. C. The competitors were not what the organizers expected. D. The organizers believed arts were not as important as sports. B On the third day of school, my teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my way to a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem hopeless, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed her own career and life for my opportunities, and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began. “Eighty percent is schoolwork, and twenty percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier selling ice-cream, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest at night won’t ever break. My routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms. 24. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Symbol. B. Solution. C. Cause. D. Foundation. 25. What does the mother value for the author? A. The author’s devotion to schoolwork. B. The sacrifice for her daughter. C. The score of the author’s exam. D. The author’s overall well-being. 26. Why does the author mention “rubber band”? A. To show a shift in the author’s perspective on pressure. B. To prove she is good at balancing study and rest. C. To show a bond between the author and her mother. D. To explain why she failed the Red Cross application 27. What can we infer about the author after talking with her mother? A. She stops pursuing academic excellence B. She decides to give up applying for universities C. She becomes more confident in facing future challenges D. She focuses more on extracurricular activities C The human mind is deeply influenced by the collective (集体的). This phenomenon, termed herd mentality, describes the tendency of individuals to adopt the behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes of the groups to which they belong. It shapes our thoughts and decisions, often without conscious awareness. From social media trends to consumer behavior patterns, herd mentality affects how we think and act. But are we truly independent thinkers, or are we simply following the crowd? Herd mentality has evolutionary roots. For early humans survival depended on group cohesion (凝聚力). Those who stayed with the tribe (部落) enjoyed protection and access to resources, while loners faced threats alone. Over generations, this adaptive behavior became a natural part of life. Today, although the physical dangers of being alone have decreased, the psychological pull of the group remains powerful. Human beings are naturally social creatures, driven by a fundamental need for acceptance and a sense of belonging. Our identities are often tied to the groups we belong to, and the fear of rejection drives us to conform, even at the cost of our personal beliefs. This group pressure is strengthened by cognitive biases (认知偏见) that twist judgment. The herd mentality leads individuals to trust the majority opinion without critically evaluating it, while repeated exposure to the same information can make it seem more believable. Social media intensifies these biases by promoting popular content over truth, creating closed-information circles that support existing beliefs rather than challenge them. In certain circumstances, herd mentality can have positive effects, particularly in situations where individuals have limited information or knowledge. Following the majority can lead to better outcomes, as the collective knowledge of the group goes beyond that of any single person. However, too much herd mentality poses risks, including holding back independent thought, harming creativity, and facilitating the spread of misinformation. Therefore, developing critical thinking — questioning assumptions, evaluating sources, and exploring diverse perspectives — is essential for both personal independence and collective progress. 28. Which behavior best demonstrates herd mentality? A. Accepting expert advice in complicated situations. B. Improving a solution with individual creativity. C. Choosing a hobby based on personal interest and practice. D. Supporting group opinions to fit in with others. 29. Why did early humans develop herd mentality? A. To strengthen their hunting skills. B. To increase their chances of survival. C. To enhance their social status. D. To meet their emotional needs. 30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The ways individuals form their sense of self-identity. B. The negative effect of herd mentality on creativity. C. The role of social media in shaping personal beliefs. D. The factors contributing to herd mentality. 31. Which statement will the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Herd mentality is unavoidable in highly connected societies. B. It is significant to maintain critical thinking in a trend-following society. C. False information can lead individuals to rely on group opinions. D. True independence is achieved by not accepting different ideas. D Nowadays, it is more common for people to express their thoughts in an e-mail or text. In fact, more and more students use technology for written communication in their lives. Even so, research shows that teaching handwriting skills has its benefits (好处). However, are the benefits worth spending valuable classroom time on teaching handwriting skills when students could be learning more about computer keyboarding? States across the country have good reasons to require students to learn computer keyboarding skills. For one, students are learning a technology that will help them communicate faster with more people and in many different forms, such as e-mails, websites, blogs, and so on. Also, the better a student's computer keyboarding skills, the greater the chance that student has to become a better writer. Computer tools such as the grammar and spell check make correcting quick and easy, although not 100% accurate (准确无误的). With these and many other tools, students gain important computer skills. Furthermore, students no longer have to worry about their writing being graded poorly by teachers. All in all, computer keyboarding skills are a step in the right direction. Still, the advantages of computer keyboarding skills may not be enough to leave handwriting instruction in the dust. Marlena Hamilton, professor of neurology at University of Pennsylvania, did an experiment with her co-workers to study what happens in students' brains when writing. They found that many of the areas of the brain light up. These are the same areas that are used to learn to read. They then wondered if the same would be true when students looked at letters on a keyboard. “What we found,” she states, “is that brains are much less involved when we just view letters. When we actually use our hands to make things, the brain works much harder.” Schools across the nation are looking at the evidence and deciding what to do. William McIntyre, a reading coach at Sunshine Elementary School in Albany, New York, says, “What we have learned from the research is that learning handwriting benefits students educationally. What we also know is that students need to be taught keyboarding skills.” Now, it is up to each school to make a decision. 32. What does the second paragraph mainly want to show? A. The roles of computer tools. B. The importance of communication skills. C. The advantages of keyboarding skills. D. The necessity of developing writing skills. 33. What's the author's attitude to students' learning keyboarding skills? A. Worried B. Doubtful C. Supportive D. Uncaring 34. What can the result of Hamilton's experiment prove? A. Handwriting is helpful for learning. B. Keyboarding skills are very useful. C. Keyboarding makes our brain more active. D. Handwriting is more difficult than keyboarding. 35. What kind of decision does the author refer to in the last paragraph? A. Whether schools should still teach handwriting. B. Whether schools should offer computer classes. C. Whether students should learn keyboarding skills. D. Whether students should use the grammar and spell check. 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。 How to Build a Strong Relationship with Your Roommate Living with a roommate can be a great experience but it also has the potential to be a nightmare if not managed properly. ____36____ Here are some tips to help you build a strong relationship with your roommate.

These days I could barely get out of bed. I was still recovering from an operation. I hoped for strength and happiness, but the future seemed so hopeless. Suddenly, Harry jumped up from his spot on the kitchen floor. “Bird!” he shouted, rushing to our courtyard. Sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) seated in a rubber tree. It sat there for a few moments, and then flew away. Strange, I’d never seen one in our neighborhood before. When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying sticks. “Look, Harry,” I said, pointing to the tree. “They’re going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on top of the rubber tree. Harry could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, he’d run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. His happiness was influential. As much as I was sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits too. Then it all went wrong. The courtyard was safe enough for a nest, but the rubber tree’s thin leaves were far from stable. One night, a strong wind blew, throwing the doves’ nest to the ground. I heard the twigs (细枝) break apart. I surveyed the damage. Nothing good ever lasted. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. And they paid no attention to the pile of sticks that had once been their nest. They started again from the beginning. Again, though, the wind destroyed all their hard work. The next day, and the next, they started again, as if nothing had happened. 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。 Moved by their perseverance, I decided to build a new nest for the doves. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look!
