After writing 50 books, Pakistani American kids’ book author Saadia Faruqi is covering an issue she’s never explored before in her newest title, The Strongest Heart.
“This is the first time I’ve written a book that mainly talks about mental illness and the impacts it has on family life, especially on kids,” says Faruqi. “It’s a topic that’s very close to my heart and the theme is personal to me.”
Published in March, The Strongest Heart follows Mo, a Pakistani American eighth grader, as he struggles to understand his Abbu — “father” in Urdu — who has a very serious mental illness. The book is based on Faruqi’s own rocky relationship with her father, who she believes also had this condition.
Growing up in Karachi, Pakistan, Faruqi says she was afraid of her father’s episodes and often felt confused. The adults never “sat me down and explained anything. Nobody said,’ Hey, don’ t be scared.’” She hopes The Strongest Heart, intended for middle schoolers, can offer comfort and strength to young people who live with someone with mental illness at home.
When asked about what she hoped readers would take away from this book, Faruqi said,“I think the title says it all: The Strongest Heart. When things get really bad, somebody tellsMo, ‘The strongest heart is the one that’ s still beating.’ I hope that readers take away a message of courage and resilience (坚持不懈). This book is for anybody who faces hardships, who’s not in control of their own life, who’s scared or worried or anxious.”
So far, the book has earned four starred reviews. Kirkus Reviews writes: “The story is engaging, populated with appealing, well-rounded main and supporting characters. The account of serious mental illness and the complex emotions of a child whose parent suffers from it are realistic, eye-opening and moving.”
4. What makes The Strongest Heart different from Faruqi’s previous books?
A. It covers family issues in Pakistan.
B. It talks about her personal life in Urdu.
C. It describes her childhood life in Karachi.
D. It addresses mental illness’s family impact.
5. How might Mo feel about his father’s illness?
A. Puzzled and scared.
B. Angry and doubtful.
C. Worried and impatient.
D. Anxious and ashamed.
6. What does Faruqi hope readers learn from The Strongest Heart?
A. There is strength even in a struggle.
B. Parents must always appear strong.
C. Mental illness should be kept private.
D. People should take control of their own life.
7. What comment did The Strongest Heart receive?
A. Appreciation for its delicate structure.
B. Disapproval of its characterization.
C. Criticism for its complex account.
D. Praise for its emotional realism.
C
Many industries require that humans and robots share a workspace, but repetitive and boring work can make people lose their focus and make mistakes. Most computer programs help robots react when a mistake happens. Those algorithms (算法) might focus either on improving efficiency or safety, but they haven’t considered a fact that the behavior of the people they’re working with doesn’t remain the same.
“There are a large number of accidents that are happening every day due to carelessness — most of them, unfortunately, from human errors,” said Mehdi Hosseinzadeh, assistant professor in Washington State University’s School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. “Robots act as planned and follow the rules, but humans don’t always do so.”
A new algorithm may help by making robots more aware of human inattentiveness. In computerized simulations (模拟) of packaging and assembly lines where humans and robots work together, the algorithm developed to account for human carelessness improved safety by about a maximum of 80% and efficiency by about a maximum of 38% compared to existing methods.
“We defined carelessness, and the robot observed the behavior of the human and tried to understand it,” Hosseinzadeh said. “If we know which human is inattentive, we can do something to prevent some potential mistakes. Once the robot identifies careless behavior, it is programmed to change how it interacts with the human acting that way, working to diminish the chance that the person might cause a workplace error or hurt themselves. For instance, the robot might change the way it manages its tasks to avoid getting in the human’s way. The robot continuously updates the carelessness level and any changes that it observes.”
After conducting computerized simulations, the researchers are going to test their work in a laboratory with real robots and people and ultimately in field studies. They also want to quantify and account for other factors that affect workplace productivity, such as human sensibility or danger awareness.
8. What is the disadvantage of most algorithms programmed to robots?
A. Ignoring humans’ changing behavior.
B. Allowing robots to respond to mistakes.
C. Focusing on their partners’ repetitive work.
D. Paying little attention to efficiency or safety.
9. Which of the following can replace the word “diminish” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Seize. B. Stabilize.
C. Estimate. D. Reduce.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the researchers?
A. Their future plans.
B. Their recent achievements.
C. Their expectations of humans.
D. Their computerized simulations.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Robots Are More Attentive than Humans at Work
B. A New Algorithm May Help to Ensure Robots’ Safety
C. Industries Require Humans and Robots Share a Workspace
D. Robots Are Programmed to Account for Human Carelessness
D
Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wildflowers and smiling beneath the sky? That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia (怀旧).
Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive. It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared about. Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music.
In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism.
Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to.
Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers. “The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm (领域), beyond the reach of intellect,” Marcel Proust wrote.
12. Why does the author mention “autumn leaves” in the second paragraph?
A. To illustrate the complexity of nostalgia.
B. To emphasize the joyful nature of nostalgia.
C. To clarify nostalgia’s connection to our senses.
D. To stress individual variety of experiencing nostalgia.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The mismatch between two findings.
B. The potential benefits of nostalgia.
C. The impact of nostalgia on personal mood.
D. The mechanisms behind nostalgia’s effects.
14. What does the author suggest us do in paragraph 4?
A. Create shared traditions for bonding and joy. B. Record the social gatherings regularly.
C. Recognize the unnecessary social gatherings. D. Say no to the concept of escapism.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Nostalgia: Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past
B. Nostalgia: A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life
C. A Nostalgia Warning: Our Mental Health Being Attacked
D. Power of Nostalgia: Struggling for an Irreplaceable Present
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In recent years, more people have begun to prioritize their emotional well-being over constant availability. The phrase “protect your peace” has become a guiding principle for those who feel exhausted by endless demands, unspoken duties, and relationships that take more than they give. ____16____ It is a response to burnout.
People begin to withdraw not because they do not care, but because they have spent too long caring without limits. ____17____ Some conversations are difficult but necessary. The challenge lies in knowing when silence preserves your well-being and when it quietly costs you your sense of self.
Boundaries are often misunderstood as rules imposed (强加) on others. ____18____ They reflect who you believe you are and what you believe you are allowed to need. Many people struggle with boundaries not because they lack communication skills, but because they have internalized the belief that their worth is tied to how much they give.
____19____ Healthy, loving relationships thrive on clarity and care. Silence can create distance, while thoughtful communication can strengthen trust. Explaining a boundary does not weaken it. When done with honesty and kindness, it helps others understand that your limits are not rejection, but preservation.
Boundaries are not demands. They are signals. They show others what we value and what we will protect. Over time, this clarity reshapes relationships, making room for mutual respect. Protecting your peace is not a single decision but an ongoing practice. It requires reflection, communication, and the willingness to redefine strength. In choosing yourself with honesty and care, you do not lose connection. ____20____
A. This shift isn’t about selfishness.
B. Instead, you create healthier ones.
C. As a matter of fact, they are rooted in identity.
D Healthy relationships often require regular apology.
E. Protecting your peace doesn’t remove the need for explanation.
F. Yet protecting your peace doesn’t mean avoiding all discomfort.
G. It means refusing to lose yourself in the process of deep reflection.

I moved to Portland last spring, knowing no one. To relieve the ____21____ that filled my quiet apartment, I did what many newcomers do: I searched online for a local ____22____ group. “Forest & Friends” promised weekly activities in the Columbia River Gorge. It sounded like a perfect ____23____.
On our first group ____24____ — a moderate trail (小径) to a waterfall viewpoint — my enthusiasm outweighed my caution. Halfway up, I ____25____ on a loose rock and hurt my ankle. A sharp pain shot through me, and I ____26____ to the ground, embarrassed and frustrated.
What happened next was far from what I had expected. The group’s leader, a woman named Sam, ____27____ the hike immediately. But more ____28____, not a single person turned back toward the trailhead. Instead, the dozen ____29____ I had met only an hour earlier gathered around. Someone ____30____ a medical bandage. Another offered water and snacks. As we waited for help, we sat on the forest floor. We shared ____31____ — not just about hiking, but about our reasons for moving here, our jobs, our hopes. Laughter ____32____ under the tree, my aching ankle momentarily forgotten.
I had joined the group ____33____ beautiful scenery and perhaps a polite acquaintance or two. I left that day with something far more ____34____. The physical trail was steep but the human impulse (冲动) to connect, to stay beside someone in difficulty, was a powerful, leveling force. It was a vivid ____35____ that we are never truly alone, even on the most difficult paths life sets before us.

47. 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。
When my daughters reached third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend had short legs and long floppy (松垂的) ears, with a furry coat and tiny spots across her nose. She was the cutest puppy I had ever seen and my girls begged me to keep her.
She was not more than twelve weeks old. She had no identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the Lost and Found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely, I thought.
By the end of the week she was part of our family. She was very clever and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the Lost and Found section in the local paper. One particular ad caught my attention and my heart sank. Someone was searching for a lost puppy near our grade school. He sounded desperate. My hands shook. I could not ask myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad. I quickly put the paper aside and tried to ignore it. I never said anything about it to the kids or my husband.
We named the puppy Molly. She followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, she was one step behind them. When they did housework, she was there to help.
There was only one problem with this perfect dog: My conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy the person was desperately looking for.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone.

After writing 50 books, Pakistani American kids’ book author Saadia Faruqi is covering an issue she’s never explored before in her newest title, The Strongest Heart.
“This is the first time I’ve written a book that mainly talks about mental illness and the impacts it has on family life, especially on kids,” says Faruqi. “It’s a topic that’s very close to my heart and the theme is personal to me.”
Published in March, The Strongest Heart follows Mo, a Pakistani American eighth grader, as he struggles to understand his Abbu — “father” in Urdu — who has a very serious mental illness. The book is based on Faruqi’s own rocky relationship with her father, who she believes also had this condition.
Growing up in Karachi, Pakistan, Faruqi says she was afraid of her father’s episodes and often felt confused. The adults never “sat me down and explained anything. Nobody said,’ Hey, don’ t be scared.’” She hopes The Strongest Heart, intended for middle schoolers, can offer comfort and strength to young people who live with someone with mental illness at home.
When asked about what she hoped readers would take away from this book, Faruqi said,“I think the title says it all: The Strongest Heart. When things get really bad, somebody tellsMo, ‘The strongest heart is the one that’ s still beating.’ I hope that readers take away a message of courage and resilience (坚持不懈). This book is for anybody who faces hardships, who’s not in control of their own life, who’s scared or worried or anxious.”
So far, the book has earned four starred reviews. Kirkus Reviews writes: “The story is engaging, populated with appealing, well-rounded main and supporting characters. The account of serious mental illness and the complex emotions of a child whose parent suffers from it are realistic, eye-opening and moving.”
4. What makes The Strongest Heart different from Faruqi’s previous books?
A. It covers family issues in Pakistan.
B. It talks about her personal life in Urdu.
C. It describes her childhood life in Karachi.
D. It addresses mental illness’s family impact.
5. How might Mo feel about his father’s illness?
A. Puzzled and scared.
B. Angry and doubtful.
C. Worried and impatient.
D. Anxious and ashamed.
6. What does Faruqi hope readers learn from The Strongest Heart?
A. There is strength even in a struggle.
B. Parents must always appear strong.
C. Mental illness should be kept private.
D. People should take control of their own life.
7. What comment did The Strongest Heart receive?
A. Appreciation for its delicate structure.

Many industries require that humans and robots share a workspace, but repetitive and boring work can make people lose their focus and make mistakes. Most computer programs help robots react when a mistake happens. Those algorithms (算法) might focus either on improving efficiency or safety, but they haven’t considered a fact that the behavior of the people they’re working with doesn’t remain the same.
“There are a large number of accidents that are happening every day due to carelessness — most of them, unfortunately, from human errors,” said Mehdi Hosseinzadeh, assistant professor in Washington State University’s School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. “Robots act as planned and follow the rules, but humans don’t always do so.”
A new algorithm may help by making robots more aware of human inattentiveness. In computerized simulations (模拟) of packaging and assembly lines where humans and robots work together, the algorithm developed to account for human carelessness improved safety by about a maximum of 80% and efficiency by about a maximum of 38% compared to existing methods.
“We defined carelessness, and the robot observed the behavior of the human and tried to understand it,” Hosseinzadeh said. “If we know which human is inattentive, we can do something to prevent some potential mistakes. Once the robot identifies careless behavior, it is programmed to change how it interacts with the human acting that way, working to diminish the chance that the person might cause a workplace error or hurt themselves. For instance, the robot might change the way it manages its tasks to avoid getting in the human’s way. The robot continuously updates the carelessness level and any changes that it observes.”
After conducting computerized simulations, the researchers are going to test their work in a laboratory with real robots and people and ultimately in field studies. They also want to quantify and account for other factors that affect workplace productivity, such as human sensibility or danger awareness.
8. What is the disadvantage of most algorithms programmed to robots?
A. Ignoring humans’ changing behavior.
B. Allowing robots to respond to mistakes.
C. Focusing on their partners’ repetitive work.
D. Paying little attention to efficiency or safety.
9. Which of the following can replace the word “diminish” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. Seize. B. Stabilize.
C. Estimate. D. Reduce.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the researchers?
A. Their future plans.
B. Their recent achievements.
C. Their expectations of humans.
D. Their computerized simulations.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Robots Are More Attentive than Humans at Work
B. A New Algorithm May Help to Ensure Robots’ Safety
C. Industries Require Humans and Robots Share a Workspace
D. Robots Are Programmed to Account for Human Carelessness
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一种新开发的算法通过控制和调节机器人的行为来防止人类工作时因粗心而犯的错误,从而提高了人类与机器人合作时的工作效率和安全性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Those algorithms (算法) might focus either on improving efficiency or safety, but they haven’t considered a fact that the behavior of the people they’ re working with doesn’t remain the same. (那些算法可能侧重于提高效率或安全性,但它们没有考虑到这样一个事实:与之协作的人的行为并非一成不变)”可知,大多数用于机器人的算法都忽略了人类行为的变化。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“If we know which human is inattentive, we can do something to prevent some potential mistakes. Once the robot identifies careless behavior, it is programmed to change how it interacts with the human acting that way, working to diminish the chance that the person might cause a workplace error or hurt themselves. (如果我们知道哪个人注意力不集中,我们可以采取一些措施来防止一些潜在的错误。一旦机器人识别出粗心的行为,它就会被编程以改变与以这种方式行事的人的互动方式,努力diminish该人可能造成工作场所错误或伤害自己的机会)”可知,我们可以通过措施防止一些潜在错误,从而减少某些错误机会。由此可推测,划线词“diminish”意为“减少”。A.Seize抓住;B.Stabilize稳定;C.Estimate估计;D.Reduce减少。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“After conducting computerized simulations, the researchers are going to test their work in a laboratory with real robots and people and ultimately in field studies. They also want to quantify and account for other factors that affect workplace productivity, such as human sensibility or danger awareness. (在进行计算机模拟之后,研究人员将在实验室中使用真实的机器人和人类进行测试,并最终进行实地研究。他们还想量化并解释影响工作场所生产力的其他因素,如人类的敏感性或危险意识)”可知,本段主要讲述研究人员未来的计划。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段“A new algorithm may help by making robots more aware of human inattentiveness.(一种新的算法可能通过使机器人更加意识到人类的粗心大意来提供帮助)”可知,文章主要介绍了一种新的算法,该算法可以使机器人更加意识到人类的粗心大意,从而帮助人类和机器人更安全、更高效地一起工作。由此可知D选项“机器人被编程来解决人类的粗心大意”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wildflowers and smiling beneath the sky? That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia (怀旧).
Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive. It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared about. Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music.
In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism.
Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to.
Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers. “The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm (领域), beyond the reach of intellect,” Marcel Proust wrote.
12. Why does the author mention “autumn leaves” in the second paragraph?
A. To illustrate the complexity of nostalgia.
B. To emphasize the joyful nature of nostalgia.
C. To clarify nostalgia’s connection to our senses.
D. To stress individual variety of experiencing nostalgia.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The mismatch between two findings.
B. The potential benefits of nostalgia.
C. The impact of nostalgia on personal mood.
D The mechanisms behind nostalgia’s effects.
14. What does the author suggest us do in paragraph 4?
A. Create shared traditions for bonding and joy. B. Record the social gatherings regularly.
C. Recognize the unnecessary social gatherings. D. Say no to the concept of escapism.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Nostalgia: Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past
B. Nostalgia: A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life
C. A Nostalgia Warning: Our Mental Health Being Attacked
D. Power of Nostalgia: Struggling for an Irreplaceable Present
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了怀旧的定义、产生原因、影响以及我们应如何利用怀旧来增强社交关系和自我价值感。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home.”(怀旧通常涉及感官刺激。有时候,秋天的树叶的气味可能会引发对你儿时家的强烈思念。)可知,作者提到“秋天的树叶”是为了说明怀旧与我们的感官的联系。故选C。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段的内容“In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism.”(与它与负面情绪的联系相反,怀旧并不会让我们更悲伤。更确切地说,怀旧是对不快乐的一种防御反应,它能让你从消极情绪中解脱出来。2006年的研究表明,怀旧实际上可以加强社会联系,提高自尊,提升我们的情绪。其他研究表明,它还可以增强我们对生命意义的看法,减少对死亡的恐惧,提升精神,增加乐观情绪。),可以看出这一段主要讲述了怀旧的潜在好处,如增强社交关系、提高自尊、提升我们的心情等。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-college meetups can give us something to look forward to.”(为了形成更强的联系,我们可以在家庭、朋友圈和工作场所建立围绕共享过去经历的传统。)可推知,作者建议我们创建共享的传统以增强联系和快乐。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第四段“Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times.”(学者们仍然不确定怀旧效应背后的确切机制;然而,一些人认为,回忆快乐的记忆可以增强我们的自我价值感和归属感,尤其是在孤独或自我怀疑的时候。它的力量可以让过去的快乐克服当前的不愉快,为艰难时期提供一点逃避。),文章主要讲述了怀旧的定义、产生原因、影响以及我们应如何利用怀旧来增强社交关系和自我价值感,因此B选项“怀旧:我们生活中的避难所”最能概括全文内容。故选B。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In recent years, more people have begun to prioritize their emotional well-being over constant availability. The phrase “protect your peace” has become a guiding principle for those who feel exhausted by endless demands, unspoken duties, and relationships that take more than they give. ____16____ It is a response to burnout.
People begin to withdraw not because they do not care, but because they have spent too long caring without limits. ____17____ Some conversations are difficult but necessary. The challenge lies in knowing when silence preserves your well-being and when it quietly costs you your sense of self.
Boundaries are often misunderstood as rules imposed (强加) on others. ____18____ They reflect who you believe you are and what you believe you are allowed to need. Many people struggle with boundaries not because they lack communication skills, but because they have internalized the belief that their worth is tied to how much they give.
____19____ Healthy, loving relationships thrive on clarity and care. Silence can create distance, while thoughtful communication can strengthen trust. Explaining a boundary does not weaken it. When done with honesty and kindness, it helps others understand that your limits are not rejection, but preservation.
Boundaries are not demands. They are signals. They show others what we value and what we will protect. Over time, this clarity reshapes relationships, making room for mutual respect. Protecting your peace is not a single decision but an ongoing practice. It requires reflection, communication, and the willingness to redefine strength. In choosing yourself with honesty and care, you do not lose connection. ____20____
A. This shift isn’t about selfishness.
B. Instead, you create healthier ones.
C. As a matter of fact, they are rooted in identity.

【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:中国书法不仅是一种书写形式,更是一门数千年来一直改变着中国文化的精深艺术。此空考查定语从句中的谓语动词,which指代a profound art,为单数,与change为主动关系,时间状语for thousands of years常与现在完成时连用,表示动作从过去持续到现在。故填has changed。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它将汉字之美与书写者的情感抒发相结合,使其在所有艺术形式中独树一帜。此空考查非谓语,前面整件事与make为主动关系,这里应用现在分词作结果状语。故填making。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:王羲之,常被尊称为“书圣”,仍是该领域最具影响力的人物之一。此空考查非谓语,Wang Xizhi与refer to为被动关系,这里应用过去分词作后置定语。故填referred。
【39题详解】

【40题详解】

【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他们发现精通书法不仅需要技艺,还需要对中国哲学有深刻的理解。此处泛指“一种深刻的理解”,且deep以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:毛笔在纸上灵动地运行,画出粗细与力度各异的笔画。修饰动词moves,应用副词形式,dynamically,表示“动态地,灵动地”,符合语境。故填dynamically。
【43题详解】

47. 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。
When my daughters reached third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a small friend followed them home after school. This friend had short legs and long floppy (松垂的) ears, with a furry coat and tiny spots across her nose. She was the cutest puppy I had ever seen and my girls begged me to keep her.
She was not more than twelve weeks old. She had no identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an ad in the Lost and Found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, her owners should have watched her more closely, I thought.
By the end of the week she was part of our family. She was very clever and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the Lost and Found section in the local paper. One particular ad caught my attention and my heart sank. Someone was searching for a lost puppy near our grade school. He sounded desperate. My hands shook. I could not ask myself to pick up the phone.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the ad. I quickly put the paper aside and tried to ignore it. I never said anything about it to the kids or my husband.
We named the puppy Molly. She followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, she was one step behind them. When they did housework, she was there to help.
There was only one problem with this perfect dog: My conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the puppy the person was desperately looking for.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. Secretly I was praying no one would answer, but a woman did. As I described the dog to her in detail, her voice shook with excitement and she wanted to come over right away. Within minutes I heard a vehicle stop at the driveway and some footsteps stop at the door. Head cradled in my hands and heart hammering, I had a thousand thoughts crossing my mind: I could pretend I wasn’t home or tell her “I’m sorry you have the wrong address”. But it was too late. The bell rang and Molly was barking.
Opening the door, I saw a woman with a little girl sitting in a small wheelchair. One look at Molly, the little girl’s face lit up. “Here, Lucy,” she yelled. “Come here!” Molly instantly obeyed, wagging her tail wildly. My heart sank. Seemingly sensing my feelings, the woman explained that Lucy (Molly) was more than just a puppy to her daughter, who was left crippled for life in an accident. “Lucy gave her a reason to live,” she choked. Suddenly I felt relieved. As they pulled out of the drive, I smiled, knowing I had done the right thing—that puppy was exactly where she belonged.
