第三部分 阅读理解(共15小题,计30分)
八、阅读下面短文,根据短文内容选择最佳选项。(共15小题;每小题2分,计30分)
A
Despite being one of the most popular pets, house cats remain mysterious to many. It is apparent when they are hungry, but at other times, it is unclear that they are paying attention to much at all. Now, researchers in Japan say that the famously aloof creatures may match their feline (猫的) housemates with the names they are called. They may even make this association with humans, too.
The researchers looked at cats living in homes with two or more other cats, and at cats living in cat cafes, usually in bigger groups. Each cat was shown an image of a cat they know while correct and incorrect names were called. When the name did not match the cat they were looking at, house cats tended to look for longer. This reaction indicates that cats were not seeing and hearing what they expected. In other words, they were experiencing some confusion.
Cats that live in cat cafes did not react in the same way. The researchers suggest that this is because cafe cats get called a variety of names, meaning there is less opportunity for the cats to hear one name repeated, and therefore to learn it.
The researchers also tried to find out if cats know human names. The results were not as clear, but the cats that had lived with a group of humans for longer seemed to have connected faces with names better.
Until a mind-reading tool is invented, we won’t know for sure what cats think about, but at least it seems like they associate names with faces after hearing them enough.
21. Why did the house cats look at the picture for a longer time?
A. Because they were very interested in the picture.
B. Because the name called did not match the picture.
C. Because they were trying to remember the cat in the picture.
22. What does the underlined word “association” mean in paragraph 1?
A. connection. B. action. C. reaction.
23. Cats in which place could get different kinds of names?
A. B. C.
24. According to the passage, which cats may do better in connecting human faces with names?
A. A cat living with an old woman for 10 years.
B. A cat living with a British family for 8 years.
C. A cat living with a couple for 6 years.
25. From which section of the newspaper might the passage have been chosen?
A. Science. B. Nature. C. Lifestyle.
【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C 24. B 25. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了一项关于猫是否能将名字与面孔联系起来的研究,结果表明家猫能识别同伴的名字,而猫咖里的猫因被叫多种名字难以形成这种关联。
【21题详解】
第二段指出实验发现:“When the name did not match the cat they were looking at, house cats tended to look for longer.”,说明家猫因名字与画面不符而注视更长时间。
【22题详解】
第一段指出研究者发现猫可能将名字与同住的猫联系起来,甚至与人类也建立这种“ association”:“they may match their feline housemates with the names... They may even make this association with humans, too.”,因此“association”意为connection“联系”。
【23题详解】
第三段指出猫咖里的猫的情况:“cafe cats get called a variety of names”,说明它们会被叫多种不同的名字。
【24题详解】
第四段指出:“cats that had lived with a group of humans for longer seemed to have connected faces with names better.”,因此与人类群体生活且时长更久的猫表现最好。
【25题详解】
本文介绍了一项关于猫的认知能力的研究,属于科学类内容,最可能出现在报纸的“科学”版块。
B
Music is a universal language that helps us express emotions. Saying goodbye is never easy, but music can turn tears into memories. Let’s explore four famous farewell songs from China and abroad that have touched the hearts of millions.
a
Song of the Parting Son
It was written by Li Shutong (Master Hongyi) in the early 20th century. The lyrics describe a scene of willow trees by the river and a traveler boarding a boat. The most famous lines are: “Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and endless.” This song is often played at graduation ceremonies in China, bringing tears to many students’ eyes.
b
Wishing
The historically beloved Chinese song is Wishing. Performed by a group of four female singers, it is a symbol of campus life. The song expresses the pure wishes of youth and the hope for a bright future. Its gentle melody and lyrics about “flying to the distance” make it a perfect choice for friends parting ways after school.
c
Auld Lang Syne (友谊地久天长)
In the West, Auld Lang Syne from Scotland is known worldwide. Sung at midnight on New Year’s Eve, it asks us not to forget old friends. The title means “days gone by”, reminding us to cherish the time we have spent together. Although it is a celebration song, its theme of friendship makes it a touching farewell tune.
d
Seasons in the Sun
Seasons in the Sun is a modern classic popularized by bands like Westlife. It looks back on happy times and says goodbye to loved ones. The song’s emotional lyrics about “goodbye to you, my trusted friend” have made it a common choice for funerals (葬礼) and memorials, celebrating a life well-lived.
26. What do the four songs above have in common?
① farewell theme ② teenager creators ③ warm wishes ④ wonderful lyrics
A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④
27. What does the word “distance” in bold probably mean in passage b?
A.
B.
C.
28. Which of the following is False about Auld Lang Syne according to the passage?
A. It’s a reminder for us to value the past time.
B. It is meaningful to sing on New Year’s Eve.
C. It is a celebration song with a theme of farewell.
29. Why is Seasons in the Sun mentioned in the passage?
A Because it is used to say goodbye to loved ones.
B. Because it is a song about campus life and youth.
C. Because it is a song full of love and wishes.
30. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To introduce the history of four famous farewell songs.
B. To show how music helps people deal with saying goodbye.
C. To compare different farewell music from China and the West.
【答案】26. B 27. C 28. C 29. A 30. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了音乐可以帮助人们释怀离别,随后介绍了四首来自国内外广为人知的告别歌曲,分别说明了它们的特点与适用的离别场景。
【26题详解】
从文中“Let’s explore four famous farewell songs from China and abroad that have touched the hearts of millions.”可知四首歌都有告别主题,即①;从“The song expresses the pure wishes of youth and the hope for a bright future.”以及“reminding us to cherish the time we have spent together.”等表述可知四首歌都有温暖祝愿,即③;从“The most famous lines are...”、“Its gentle melody and lyrics...”、“The song’s emotional lyrics...”等可知四首歌都有美妙歌词,即④;文中未提及四首歌都是青少年创作者,所以②错误。故答案为①③④。
【27题详解】
在“Its gentle melody and lyrics about ‘flying to the distance’ make it a perfect choice for friends parting ways after school.”这句话中,结合语境,朋友毕业后分别,歌词说“飞向……”,这里“distance”意思是远处、远方。
【28题详解】
根据c中的“its theme of friendship makes it a touching farewell tune”可知,这首歌的主题是友谊,而非告别,C选项表述错误。
【29题详解】
d段原文提到《Seasons in the Sun》的内容是“It looks back on happy times and says goodbye to loved ones”,说明提到它的原因是它是用来和挚爱之人道别的歌曲。
【30题详解】
文章首段点明主旨“Saying goodbye is never easy, but music can turn tears into memories”,后文介绍四首歌都是为了说明音乐能够帮助人们应对告别。
C
In a quiet corner of New York City’s Greenwich Village, a deadly epidemic of pneumonia (流行性肺炎) swept through the narrow streets. Johnsy, a young and fragile artist, was struck down by the illness. She lay weakly in her bed, her eyes fixed on an old ivy vine clinging to the brick wall outside the window. The vine’s leaves were withering one by one as the cold autumn wind blew. “When the last leaf falls from that vine, I will die,” she whispered to her roommate Sue, her voice filled with despair. Sue, a warm-hearted artist, tried her best to cheer her up, but Johnsy’s faith in life was fading like the leaves.
That night, a fierce storm hit the village. The wind howled wildly, and the rain lashed against the windows. Sue tossed and turned in bed, worrying that the last leaf would be blown away by the storm. She dared not check the window, fearing the worst for her friend. However, when the first light of dawn broke, she hurried to the window—and was astonished. The last ivy leaf still hung firmly on the branch, green and vivid, unaffected by the storm.
Johnsy stared at the leaf for hours, her attitude gradually changing. Finally, she turned to Sue with shame. “I have been foolish and wicked,” she said softly. “That leaf has stayed there to teach me a lesson. It is a sin to give up on life so easily. Please bring me some soup. I want to get better and start painting again.”
The next day, the doctor visited and told Sue that Johnsy was out of danger. “Her will to live has revived,” he said. “But I must rush to see Mr. Behrman downstairs. The old artist is also suffering from severe pneumonia, and his condition is critical—there is little hope for him.”
That evening, when Johnsy was fully awake, Sue sat by her bed and revealed the truth gently. “Mr. Behrman passed away this afternoon,” she said, her voice trembling. “The janitor found him in his room, his clothes and shoes soaked through. Beside him were a lantern, a ladder, and a palette with green and yellow paint. That last leaf you saw never moved in the wind because it was his masterpiece—he painted it on the wall the night the real last leaf fell, risking his life to give you hope.”
ivy leaf
(from O. Henry—The Last Leaf)
31. According to the whole passage, what made Johnsy regain her will to live?
A. The warm support from Sue.
B. The last ivy leaf that never fell.
C. The doctor’s encouraging words.
32. Which inference about Mr. Behrman is correct?
A. He was a famous artist with many masterpieces.
B. He painted the leaf to show off his fantastic skills.
C. He sacrificed himself to save Johnsy’s life.
33. Which picture below shows the meaning of “lashed against” correctly?
A. B. C.
34. How did Mr. Behrman probably die?
A. He fell off the ladder while painting the wall.
B. He caught pneumonia from being exposed to the storm.
C. He died of a heart attack while looking at the ivy.
35. What’s the ending of this story like?
A. Normal. B. Touching. C. Interesting.
【答案】31. B 32. C 33. A 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文节选自欧·亨利的《最后一片叶子》,讲述了患病少女Johnsy认为常春藤最后一片叶子落下之时自己就会死去,老画家Behrman为了帮她重燃求生信念,在暴风雨夜冒生命危险在墙上画出了永不掉落的最后一片叶子,Johnsy最终痊愈,Behrman却因此染上肺炎去世的故事。
【31题详解】
文章第二段“The last ivy leaf still hung firmly on the branch, green and vivid, unaffected by the storm.”说明让Johnsy重新燃起求生欲望的是那片从未掉落的常春藤叶子。
【32题详解】
文章末段“That last leaf you saw never moved in the wind because it was his masterpiece—he painted it on the wall the night the real last leaf fell, risking his life to give you hope.”说明Mr. Behrman为了给Johnsy希望,冒着生命危险在墙上画了那片叶子,最后自己因肺炎去世,说明他牺牲了自己拯救了Johnsy的生命。
【33题详解】
文章第二段“The wind howled wildly, and the rain lashed against the windows. Sue tossed and turned in bed, worrying that the last leaf would be blown away by the storm.”说明狂风呼啸着,雨水猛烈地拍打着窗户。苏在床上辗转反侧,担心最后一片叶子会被风暴吹走,因此“lashed against”意思是“猛烈拍打”,通常描述风雨等猛烈撞击物体的情景,选项A符合题意。
【34题详解】
文章末段“The janitor found him in his room, his clothes and shoes soaked through.”以及倒数第二段“The old artist is also suffering from severe pneumonia, and his condition is critical”说明Mr. Behrman是在暴风雨中出去画叶子,衣服鞋子都湿透了,最后得了严重的肺炎去世,说明他是因为暴露在暴风雨中而感染了肺炎。
【35题详解】
根据整个故事内容,Mr. Behrman为了拯救Johnsy的生命,牺牲了自己,这种无私的奉献和牺牲精神让故事的结尾非常感人。

一、短文填空
从下面方框中选出10个单词,将其正确形式填入短文,使短文意思正确通顺(每词限用一次)。
perform with make ask instead run follow its simple regret please something
Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me increase the distance and pace I run, or the number of hours I sleep, or the rate of my heartbeats. It ____36____ me a “better me”, or so the story goes.
Maybe some of them actually help to do these things, but nonetheless, I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago and ____37____ record my running times with a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I began to train for a marathon the old-fashioned way, ____38____ something on my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned out, running without knowing all that information was a great ____39____.
In the past, whenever I ____40____ slower than my smartwatch said I should be, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to.
On more than a few occasions, when I’d look at my notepad ____41____ key workouts, I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could. I was so shocked about these numbers and thought that if I’d seen them during the workout itself, I would have probably slowed down. Yet, because I was blind to them, I just kept on running.
Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate more on the running ____42____. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether ____43____ has enough battery power.
So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is, the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our ____44____ is affected.
Should you stop using technology to “improve” your running skills? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were ____45____ that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it.
【答案】36. makes
37. instead
38. without
39. pleasure
40. ran 41. following
42. itself 43. something
44. performance
45. asked

句意:不久之后,我开始用老式的方法训练马拉松,手腕上没有东西告诉我配速和心率。“____ something on my wrist”表示“没有东西在手腕上”,需用介词表示“没有”。备选词“with”对应的否定形式“without”为介词,意为“没有”。
【39题详解】
句意:事实证明,跑步时不知道所有那些信息是一件很愉快的事。“a great ____”表示“一件很愉快的事”,需用名词作表语。备选词“please”的名词形式pleasure意为“愉快,乐事”。
【40题详解】

Super-agers are special people. They are 80 years old or older, but they have amazing memories. A super-ager’s ability to remember is like someone 20 to 30 years younger.
Super-agers are very different from each other. They don’t all eat the same food or do the same exercise. But scientists found one thing they all share. They think social relationships are very important. ____46____
This discovery doesn’t surprise brain scientists. People who spend time with others are more protected from memory problems as they get older. They also have bigger brains. ____47____When people are lonely, their body makes stress hormones. If stress hormones stay high for a long time, they can cause swelling in the brain. ____48____
Almost all 80-year-olds have signs of brain disease. ____49____ Scientists who study healthy 100-year-olds say they are also extroverted and have a positive attitude about life. However, there is still a question. Do people socialize more because they have good memories? Or does socializing give people better memories? Scientists are still trying to answer this.
____50____ While being social helps protect the brain, you probably can’t become a super-ager just by spending more time with people. The amazing memory ability seems to come mainly from the genes you are born with.
A. This can damage brain cells and cause memory loss.
B. That’s probably why they have an excellent memory.
C. Most super-agers are also extroverted people who like being with others.
D. Scientists think socializing helps protect the brain.

Chengdu teahouses are far more than casual venues for tea-tasting; they are living carriers of the city’s slow-paced culture and historical memory. With a history stretching back over 1,000 years, these teahouses have witnessed the changes of Chengdu and integrated themselves into the daily lives of locals, becoming an irreplaceable part of the city’s cultural identity.
Unlike modern cafes that pursue efficiency, traditional Chengdu teahouses emphasize a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. Bamboo chairs, wooden tables, and blue-and-white porcelain teacups are not just decorations, but symbols of simplicity and comfort. The iconic long-spouted teapot skill is more than a folk art—it embodies the craftsmanship spirit of Chengdu people, who strive for precision and elegance in daily life. Tea masters practice for years to master the skill, pouring tea into cups from a distance without spilling, which also serves as a way to interact with customers and shorten the distance between people.
In the context of rapid urbanization, Chengdu teahouses have not faded away but achieved innovative inheritance. While preserving core traditions like the long-spouted teapot and Sichuan Opera performances, many teahouses have integrated modern cultural elements, such as combining tea culture with calligraphy exhibitions and handcraft workshops. This transformation allows teahouses to attract young audiences while retaining elderly patrons, balancing cultural inheritance and contemporary development.
The lasting vitality of Chengdu teahouses lies in their ability to reflect the city’s spirit—respecting tradition while embracing change. They are not only places for people to chat, play chess, or enjoy performances but also platforms for cultural communication. For locals, teahouses are an emotional anchor; for tourists, they are a window to understand real Chengdu. Protecting and developing teahouse culture is essentially safeguarding the unique lifestyle and cultural genes of Chengdu.

根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
Silent Spring (寂静的春天)
Rachel Carson
There was a strange stillness. The birds, for example, where had they gone? Many people spoke of them, puzzled and disturbed. The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds, doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices, there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh.
Rachel Carson was a scientist by profession, but these lines from the opening chapter of her 1962 book Silent Spring, “A Fable for Tomorrow”, show her talent as a writer. By imagining a world without birds, she aimed to alert not only the scientific community but also the general public to the damaging effects of human activity on natural ecosystems, in particular, to the harmful use of pesticides, such as DDT (杀虫剂). She believed that the chemical industry was knowingly causing harm to plants, animals and even humans, and wished to see pesticides used in a more responsible, limited and carefully monitored way.
Carson urged people to make themselves aware of the facts and do something about the situation. Silent Spring contains a lot of scientific research and case studies. The book details the gypsy moth eradication programme, which killed birds, in addition to gypsy moths. Another case study was the fire-ant programme that killed cows, but not fire ants. The book also gives dozens of other examples of eradication programmes that did nothing to reduce the problems they were originally designed to solve. The 50 or so pages at the end of the book list Carson’s sources, showing how thorough and precise she was as a scientist.
Carson’s message was very alarming, causing a great increase in environmental awareness. Its impact was immediate and far-reaching: the use of DDT was banned and the Environmental Protection Agency was established in the US. Silent Spring was therefore regarded as a milestone in the launch of the green movement in the Western world. It also earned Carson a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom and put her face on the 17-cent US stamp.
Silent Spring was not, however, received positively by everyone. Though Carson’s research was strong and was supported by most scientists who reviewed her work, the book quickly became a target for critics in the pesticide industry. They said that Carson did not understand the science behind her arguments because she was a marine biologist rather than a chemist. Some also said that her work was more emotional than scientific. These were attempts to damage Carson’s reputation and stop her work from influencing public policy, but she remained determined to stand by her research. Carson appeared in public and on television to defend her claims, and today, more than 50 years after it was published, the voice of Silent Spring is still ringing loud and clear.
Personally, I enjoy Carson’s book. She made a crucial but potentially difficult-to-understand subject interesting and accessible to millions of people. This is not so much because of the quality of her arguments, strong though they are, but because of the beauty and elegance of her writing. Her book not only changed the world; half a century later it remains a book that deserves to be reread today, so that we can once again feel ourselves warm to the fire of its passionate message. For unless we do listen to Rachel Carson’s warning, one day we may wake up to the strange and quiet horror of another silent spring.
56. What did Rachel Carson do and what was she good at?
_______________________________________________________________________________
57. What is the main purpose of Rachel Carson’s writing the book Silent Spring?
_______________________________________________________________________________
58. Why did the book Silent Spring quickly become a target for critics in the pesticide industry?
_______________________________________________________________________________
59. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?
_______________________________________________________________________________
60. How can we protect our natural environment as junior high students? (Give at least 2 examples)
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. She was a professional scientist and she was also good at writing.
57. She aimed to warn scientists and the public about the harm human activities, especially the harmful use of pesticides like DDT, did to natural ecosystems.
58. Because the book was against their interests. They said Carson lacked related chemical knowledge and her work was more emotional than scientific in order to ruin her reputation and stop her work from influencing public policy.
59. We should still value and listen to the warning in Silent Spring today, or we will face serious environmental damage one day.
60. We can save water and electricity in daily life. We can also avoid using plastic bags and take part in tree-planting activities.

【56题详解】
根据第二段“Rachel Carson was a scientist by profession…show her talent as a writer.”可知,她是一位专业的科学家,同时也擅长写作,关键信息可以从原文中提取。
【57题详解】
根据第二段“By imagining a world without birds, she aimed to alert not only the scientific community but also the general public to the damaging effects of human activity on natural ecosystems, in particular, to the harmful use of pesticides, such as DDT (杀虫剂).”可知,她旨在向科学家和公众警示人类活动,尤其是像DDT这类有害杀虫剂的不当使用,对自然生态系统造成的危害,梳理核心逻辑整理得到答案。
【58题详解】
根据第五段“They said that Carson did not understand the science behind her arguments because she was a marine biologist rather than a chemist. Some also said that her work was more emotional than scientific…but she remained determined to stand by her research.”可知,因为这本书与他们的利益相悖。他们声称卡森缺乏相关的化学知识,而且她的研究更多是基于情感而非科学,目的是要诋毁她的声誉,并阻止她的研究对公共政策产生影响,梳理核心逻辑整理得到答案。
【59题详解】
根据末段“For unless we do listen to Rachel Carson’s warning, one day we may wake up to the strange and quiet horror of another silent spring. ”可知,这一句话是说“因为如果我们不听从雷切尔·卡森的警告,那么终有一天,我们可能会猛然意识到另一个“寂静的春天”所带来的奇异而寂静的恐怖景象”,因此这句话指:我们仍应重视并倾听《寂静的春天》一书中的警示,否则终有一天我们会面临严重的环境破坏。

The differences between American and British English
There are several clear differences between American and British English. They show in the vocabulary of different fields. For transport, Americans call urban rail transit subway, while the British people call it underground. For sports, the British call the popular ball game football, but Americans call it soccer. Two more common examples are fall/autumn and color/colour. These differences come from different cultures. All in all, we should respect the cultural barrier.

A
Despite being one of the most popular pets, house cats remain mysterious to many. It is apparent when they are hungry, but at other times, it is unclear that they are paying attention to much at all. Now, researchers in Japan say that the famously aloof creatures may match their feline (猫的) housemates with the names they are called. They may even make this association with humans, too.
The researchers looked at cats living in homes with two or more other cats, and at cats living in cat cafes, usually in bigger groups. Each cat was shown an image of a cat they know while correct and incorrect names were called. When the name did not match the cat they were looking at, house cats tended to look for longer. This reaction indicates that cats were not seeing and hearing what they expected. In other words, they were experiencing some confusion.
Cats that live in cat cafes did not react in the same way. The researchers suggest that this is because cafe cats get called a variety of names, meaning there is less opportunity for the cats to hear one name repeated, and therefore to learn it.
The researchers also tried to find out if cats know human names. The results were not as clear, but the cats that had lived with a group of humans for longer seemed to have connected faces with names better.
Until a mind-reading tool is invented, we won’t know for sure what cats think about, but at least it seems like they associate names with faces after hearing them enough.
21. Why did the house cats look at the picture for a longer time?
A. Because they were very interested in the picture.
B. Because the name called did not match the picture.
C. Because they were trying to remember the cat in the picture.
22. What does the underlined word “association” mean in paragraph 1?
A. connection. B. action. C. reaction.
23. Cats in which place could get different kinds of names?
A. B. C.
24. According to the passage, which cats may do better in connecting human faces with names?
A. A cat living with an old woman for 10 years.
B. A cat living with a British family for 8 years.
C. A cat living with a couple for 6 years.
25. From which section of the newspaper might the passage have been chosen?
A. Science. B. Nature. C. Lifestyle.

In a quiet corner of New York City’s Greenwich Village, a deadly epidemic of pneumonia (流行性肺炎) swept through the narrow streets. Johnsy, a young and fragile artist, was struck down by the illness. She lay weakly in her bed, her eyes fixed on an old ivy vine clinging to the brick wall outside the window. The vine’s leaves were withering one by one as the cold autumn wind blew. “When the last leaf falls from that vine, I will die,” she whispered to her roommate Sue, her voice filled with despair. Sue, a warm-hearted artist, tried her best to cheer her up, but Johnsy’s faith in life was fading like the leaves.
That night, a fierce storm hit the village. The wind howled wildly, and the rain lashed against the windows. Sue tossed and turned in bed, worrying that the last leaf would be blown away by the storm. She dared not check the window, fearing the worst for her friend. However, when the first light of dawn broke, she hurried to the window—and was astonished. The last ivy leaf still hung firmly on the branch, green and vivid, unaffected by the storm.
Johnsy stared at the leaf for hours, her attitude gradually changing. Finally, she turned to Sue with shame. “I have been foolish and wicked,” she said softly. “That leaf has stayed there to teach me a lesson. It is a sin to give up on life so easily. Please bring me some soup. I want to get better and start painting again.”
The next day, the doctor visited and told Sue that Johnsy was out of danger. “Her will to live has revived,” he said. “But I must rush to see Mr. Behrman downstairs. The old artist is also suffering from severe pneumonia, and his condition is critical—there is little hope for him.”
That evening, when Johnsy was fully awake, Sue sat by her bed and revealed the truth gently. “Mr. Behrman passed away this afternoon,” she said, her voice trembling. “The janitor found him in his room, his clothes and shoes soaked through. Beside him were a lantern, a ladder, and a palette with green and yellow paint. That last leaf you saw never moved in the wind because it was his masterpiece—he painted it on the wall the night the real last leaf fell, risking his life to give you hope.”
ivy leaf
(from O. Henry—The Last Leaf)

A. He was a famous artist with many masterpieces.

Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me increase the distance and pace I run, or the number of hours I sleep, or the rate of my heartbeats. It ____36____ me a “better me”, or so the story goes.
Maybe some of them actually help to do these things, but nonetheless, I still decided to sell all of my sports gadgets a few months ago and ____37____ record my running times with a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I began to train for a marathon the old-fashioned way, ____38____ something on my wrist telling me my pace and current heart rate. As it turned out, running without knowing all that information was a great ____39____.
In the past, whenever I ____40____ slower than my smartwatch said I should be, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to.
On more than a few occasions, when I’d look at my notepad ____41____ key workouts, I was shocked to see that I’d had some real breakthroughs (突破), running much faster than I thought I could. I was so shocked about these numbers and thought that if I’d seen them during the workout itself, I would have probably slowed down. Yet, because I was blind to them, I just kept on running.
Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate more on the running ____42____. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about whether ____43____ has enough battery power.
So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is, the more time we spend worrying about how to make ourselves better at something, the more our ____44____ is affected.
Should you stop using technology to “improve” your running skills? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were ____45____ that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it.

Super-agers are special people. They are 80 years old or older, but they have amazing memories. A super-ager’s ability to remember is like someone 20 to 30 years younger.
Super-agers are very different from each other. They don’t all eat the same food or do the same exercise. But scientists found one thing they all share. They think social relationships are very important. ____46____
This discovery doesn’t surprise brain scientists. People who spend time with others are more protected from memory problems as they get older. They also have bigger brains. ____47____When people are lonely, their body makes stress hormones. If stress hormones stay high for a long time, they can cause swelling in the brain. ____48____
Almost all 80-year-olds have signs of brain disease. ____49____ Scientists who study healthy 100-year-olds say they are also extroverted and have a positive attitude about life. However there is still a question. Do people socialize more because they have good memories? Or does socializing give people better memories? Scientists are still trying to answer this.
____50____ While being social helps protect the brain, you probably can’t become a super-ager just by spending more time with people. The amazing memory ability seems to come mainly from the genes you are born with.
A. This can damage brain cells and cause memory loss.
B. That’s probably why they have an excellent memory.
C. Most super-agers are also extroverted people who like being with others.
D. Scientists think socializing helps protect the brain.

Chengdu teahouses are far more than casual venues for tea-tasting; they are living carriers of the city’s slow-paced culture and historical memory. With a history stretching back over 1,000 years, these teahouses have witnessed the changes of Chengdu and integrated themselves into the daily lives of locals, becoming an irreplaceable part of the city’s cultural identity.
Unlike modern cafes that pursue efficiency, traditional Chengdu teahouses emphasize a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. Bamboo chairs, wooden tables, and blue-and-white porcelain teacups are not just decorations, but symbols of simplicity and comfort. The iconic long-spouted teapot skill is more than a folk art—it embodies the craftsmanship spirit of Chengdu people, who strive for precision and elegance in daily life. Tea masters practice for years to master the skill, pouring tea into cups from a distance without spilling, which also serves as a way to interact with customers and shorten the distance between people.
In the context of rapid urbanization, Chengdu teahouses have not faded away but achieved innovative inheritance. While preserving core traditions like the long-spouted teapot and Sichuan Opera performances, many teahouses have integrated modern cultural elements, such as combining tea culture with calligraphy exhibitions and handcraft workshops. This transformation allows teahouses to attract young audiences while retaining elderly patrons, balancing cultural inheritance and contemporary development.
The lasting vitality of Chengdu teahouses lies in their ability to reflect the city’s spirit—respecting tradition while embracing change. They are not only places for people to chat, play chess, or enjoy performances but also platforms for cultural communication. For locals, teahouses are an emotional anchor; for tourists, they are a window to understand real Chengdu. Protecting and developing teahouse culture is essentially safeguarding the unique lifestyle and cultural genes of Chengdu.

Silent Spring (寂静的春天)
Rachel Carson
There was a strange stillness. The birds, for example, where had they gone? Many people spoke of them, puzzled and disturbed. The feeding stations in the backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they trembled violently and could not fly. It was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds, doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices, there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields and woods and marsh.
Rachel Carson was a scientist by profession, but these lines from the opening chapter of her 1962 book Silent Spring, “A Fable for Tomorrow”, show her talent as a writer. By imagining a world without birds, she aimed to alert not only the scientific community but also the general public to the damaging effects of human activity on natural ecosystems, in particular, to the harmful use of pesticides, such as DDT (杀虫剂). She believed that the chemical industry was knowingly causing harm to plants, animals and even humans, and wished to see pesticides used in a more responsible, limited and carefully monitored way.
Carson urged people to make themselves aware of the facts and do something about the situation. Silent Spring contains a lot of scientific research and case studies. The book details the gypsy moth eradication programme, which killed birds, in addition to gypsy moths. Another case study was the fire-ant programme that killed cows, but not fire ants. The book also gives dozens of other examples of eradication programmes that did nothing to reduce the problems they were originally designed to solve. The 50 or so pages at the end of the book list Carson’s sources, showing how thorough and precise she was as a scientist.
Carson’s message was very alarming, causing a great increase in environmental awareness. Its impact was immediate and far-reaching: the use of DDT was banned and the Environmental Protection Agency was established in the US. Silent Spring was therefore regarded as a milestone in the launch of the green movement in the Western world. It also earned Carson a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom and put her face on the 17-cent US stamp.
Silent Spring was not, however, received positively by everyone. Though Carson’s research was strong and was supported by most scientists who reviewed her work, the book quickly became a target for critics in the pesticide industry. They said that Carson did not understand the science behind her arguments because she was a marine biologist rather than a chemist. Some also said that her work was more emotional than scientific. These were attempts to damage Carson’s reputation and stop her work from influencing public policy, but she remained determined to stand by her research. Carson appeared in public and on television to defend her claims, and today, more than 50 years after it was published, the voice of Silent Spring is still ringing loud and clear.
Personally, I enjoy Carson’s book. She made a crucial but potentially difficult-to-understand subject interesting and accessible to millions of people. This is not so much because of the quality of her arguments, strong though they are, but because of the beauty and elegance of her writing. Her book not only changed the world; half a century later it remains a book that deserves to be reread today, so that we can once again feel ourselves warm to the fire of its passionate message. For unless we do listen to Rachel Carson’s warning, one day we may wake up to the strange and quiet horror of another silent spring.
