C 　　（2025·广东惠州高二下期末）Rena， 18 months， is a baby worker at a Japanese nursing home， hired to brighten the days of residents whose own grandchildren may rarely visit.The infants’ （婴儿） presence meant to ease the loneliness that can come with growing older， especially in the rapidly ageing nation where a third of the population is over 65. 　　The nursing home’s director， Kimie Gondo， came up with the idea of baby workers three years ago when her own newborn granddaughter was visiting and she saw how happy it made the residents.The nursing home now has about 70 baby workers strolling around the nursing home with their parents， mostly mothers. 　　Rena and her colleagues are paid in diapers （纸尿裤） and ice cream.But those are not the only rewards.“Here she gets to interact with kids her age and also with grandfathers and grandmothers who are a bit more difficult to come across，” said Shinohara， Rena’s mother，who called the nursing home residents “great life teachers”. 　　Rena and her small colleagues work flexible hours but they don’t have long in the business — having to retire before the age of three.A key requirement for the toddlers is that they should speak as little as possible.That’s because older people can struggle to speak and communicate， especially if they have cognitive impairment （认知障碍）.“In order to communicate on the same level，words are unnecessary，” she added. 　　For nursing home residents， Gondo said， the visits from toddlers provide the common experience of family members from multiple generations living under the same roof.“Even if they enter a facility like this， they should be able to interact with people from various age groups on a daily basis，” she said.“I think that’s only natural.” 28.Why does Kimie Gondo carry out her idea in the nursing home？（　　） A.To provide jobs for mothers. B.To prevent the elderly from ageing. C.To amuse grandchildren during visits. D.To promote the well-being of residents. 29.What’s the extra benefit for the baby workers according to Shinohara？（　　） A.Tasty snacks. B.Parent-kid relationship. C.Daily essentials. D.Interpersonal experience. 30.Why is there a restriction on retiring age of baby workers？（　　） A.Words might lessen the effect. B.Flexible hours could be guaranteed. C.Cognitive impairment could be avoided. D.Over-aged workers have low language levels. 31.Which can be the best title for this passage？（　　） A.Babies Helping Remove Cognitive Barriers B.Babies Replacing Caregivers in Nursing Homes C.Baby Workers Tackling Loneliness of the Elderly D.Baby Workers Running a Japanese Nursing Home D 　　（2025·浙江舟山高二下期末）A smiley face is not always just a smiley face.Behind the yellow， wide-eyed emoji’s smile is an intergenerational minefield.For many teenagers and 20-somethings， a smiley face popping up in a text or email is seen as something different. 　　Hafeezat Bishi， 21， started an internship （实习） at a Brooklyn digital media firm.She was surprised to be greeted by her co-workers with a bright smiley face.For Bishi， the welcome seemed dismissive and she sees the emoji as conveying a kind of side-eye smile. 　　The rise of the use of emojis at work， especially between remote teams during the pandemic， has created more misunderstandings than ever.People over 30 tend to use emojis to express what the images always did， but younger digital natives may use them to convey ironic meanings， or use them as shorthand for an entirely different thought.For instance， the skull and crossbones means death or danger to many adults， while many younger people say that to them it signifies laughing extremely hard — as in “I’m laughing so hard that I’m dying.” 　　Charlie Nelson Keever， a 31-year-old lawyer in the San Francisco Bay Area， spends a lot of time analyzing social media accounts to piece together legal cases.It was while researching narratives and timelines on a case that it dawned on her that young people don’t use smiley faces to mean they are smiling. 　　She quizzed a Gen Z friend and was confused by the undertones which some emojis carry for that generation.On its face， the cowboy， a grinning emoji wearing a hat， can signify a special brand of quirky， giggly happiness.But for many in Gen Z， it means the sender is putting on a front， smiling on the outside while dying on the inside. 　　Keever feels she should have her finger on the pulse of how people communicate on the Internet.“There’s nothing that makes you feel older than googling what an emoji means，” she said. 32.How did Bishi understand the smiley face from her co-workers？（　　） A.An insincere greeting. B.A dynamic greeting. C.An indifferent greeting. D.A genuine greeting. 33.What do we learn from paragraph 3？（　　） A.Young people use skull and crossbones to convey death to adults. B.The pandemic has largely brought about the increasing use of emojis. C.Emojis are often used to express ironic thoughts by older people. D.Misunderstandings of emojis may occur due to the intergenerational gap. 34.What does the underlined word “undertone” in paragraph 5 mean？（　　） A.Answer. B.Implication. C.Image. D.Signal. 35.Why does Keever want to have her finger on the pulse of how people communicate？（　　） A.To catch up with the latest fashion pulse. B.To line up with what people chat online. C.To put up with feeling old when googling emojis. D.To keep up with the way digital natives communicate. 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。 　　（2025·四川成都高二下期末） How to Stop Overthinking 　　You might convince yourself that thinking about something for a really long time is the key to developing the best solution.36.（　　） In fact， the longer you think about something， the less time and energy you have to take productive action.Here are some tips to help stop overthinking. 　　Distract Yourself 　　Rather than sit and think about a problem for endless amounts of time， you can distract yourself for a bit.Your brain may find better ways to work out a solution in the background while you’re distracted with another task — like working in the garden.Or， you might “sleep on it” and discover that your brain solves the problem for you while you’re sleeping.A brief distraction can give you a break.37.（　　） 　　Challenge Negative Thoughts 　　Remind yourself that your thoughts are not facts.38.（　　） When you find yourself overthinking， challenge these thoughts.Ask yourself if they are realistic.Consider alternative possibilities.It can be difficult at first， but learning to call out your own overthinking can help you learn to replace negative thoughts with more helpful ones. 　　Practice Self-acceptance 　　Overthinking often comes from worrying about your past mistakes or things that you cannot change.Instead of blaming yourself for things you might regret， try working toward being more accepting and show sympathy for yourself.39.（　　） In addition， forgiving yourself for things you regret can also do good to your overall well-being. 　　Get Therapy 　　People often be caught unable to break from overthinking by themselves.40.（　　） Overthinking may be a symptom of a mental health issue， like depression or anxiety.A mental health professional may teach you skills that will help you stop focusing on things that aren’t helpful.They may also help you identify strategies that work for you， such as mindfulness or physical exercise. A.But that’s usually not the case. B.But it can be done within a short time. C.It’s not a big deal； just consider getting professional help. D.Also， be more sympathetic to those who have helped you. E.What’s on your mind will probably not be accurate or truthful. F.You can think about the aspects of yourself that you appreciate. G.And it may get your mind focused on something more productive. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 　　（2025·山东菏泽高二下期末）During my rebellious years in middle school， I fell in with the wrong crowd and tried to distance myself from my parents. 　　One night， when I was 　41　 out of the house to go to a party， I 　42　 my father was telling my weeping mother something I’ll never forget.His words cut like a 　43　 knife through butter.“He’s a good boy trying to 　44　 who he is.We’ve all been through a time where we try to find our 　45　 in the world， and I know he’ll find his way.” 　　He was right， though.I did find my way.On my high school graduation day， I remember the fireworks 　46　 in my gut （肚子）.It was the end of one 　47　 and the beginning of another.I didn’t know what the world had in 　48　 for me.Attending a university was a big deal in those days， and most people couldn’t 　49　 it. 　　“Don’t be afraid to spread your wings and fly.The world is a（n） 　50　 of opportunities.If you’re brave enough to cast your fishing line out there， you might be 　51　 at what you reel in （收回）.” Once again， my father’s words held 　52　.

　　Like you， I also had a noise problem with a neighbour.He’d watch loud movies every night， sometimes until 3 in the morning.One night， I decided I’d had enough of the noise， so I went to my neighbour’s apartment and we argued.However， that only made him turn his TV up even louder every night after that. 　　A week or so later， I saw my neighbour outside.Even though we’d lived next to each other for a long time， the first time we’d spoken was when we had our argument. 　　So， I chatted with him and got to know him better — I also made a joke about how I liked his taste in movies. 　　That night， the noise problem stopped.It seemed that all I had to do was get my neighbour to see me as a friend， not an enemy. 　　So， my advice to you is to be calm and patient with your neighbour. 　　One day， go over and ask if you can come in for a talk.If you mention that their noise is affecting your studies， they should soon change their mind. 　　At the same time， however， not everyone is comfortable with facing people this way.If you’re one of those people， write a polite and friendly letter instead， explaining your problem to your neighbour. 　　Many people we know can make us angry， but usually， the best way to win someone over is through kindness. 第二部分 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个英国最佳的度假胜地，这些胜地分别提供不同类型的活动和体验，以帮助人们放松身心、提升幸福感或获得新的生活视角。 21.A　细节理解题。根据Eco Yoga Argyll，
