专题05阅读理解之 说明文 【通关练】 Passage 1 2026年两会热点话题：春秋假 The 2026 Government Work Report clearly says that China will support qualified (符合条件的) areas to carry out spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students, while putting into practice the wrong-time paid leave system for workers. As a hot topic, the policy has been tested in provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan with useful experience. These short holidays bring many good points to students. They can lower study pressure after long-time learning and help students keep healthy both in body and mind. With nice and comfortable weather, students can go out of classrooms to take part in real activities, including farming experiences, nature watching and local culture learning. In this way, book knowledge is turned into real-life experience. The holidays also bring good points to families. Wrong-time leave lets parents spend happy time with their children at lower costs, away from the large crowds of busy travel seasons. Many families choose to travel, visit relatives or go to museums together, making family ties closer. At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy, making a win-win situation for education and society. However, difficulties still exist in the policy's carrying out (实施). The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays. To solve this, many schools offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities offer more activities for students. The holidays can also be set freely according to local situations. In short, spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational change. They show a turn from exam-centered education to a focus on all-round development. With joint efforts from families, schools and society, these holidays will help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way. 1.Why are the holidays good for society and education? A. They make schools have longer teaching time. B. They help develop local tourism and create a win-win situation. C. They let parents spend less time with their children. D. They make people travel only during busy seasons. 2.Which of the following statements is Right? A. All places in China have already started spring and autumn holidays. B. Students can only learn knowledge from textbooks during the holidays. C. Staggered leave can help families save money and avoid crowds. D. There are no problems in carrying out the new holiday policy. 3.What can we know about the challenges of the policy? A. Schools can do nothing to help working parents. B. Many working parents have difficulty looking after their kids. C. The holidays must be set in the same way across the country. D. Communities don’t offer any activities for students. 4.What does the writer think of spring and autumn holidays? A. They are useless for students’ all-round development. B. They are an important educational change. C. They make education pay more attention to exams only. D. Families, schools and society need not work together. 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to help working parents look after their children. B. How to make students become more creative. C. The importance of developing local tourism. D. The introduction of spring and autumn holidays and their influences. Passage 2 老年护理机器人 On February 25th 2025, new elderly care robots were shown to people. These robots help old people in many ways and make their lives easier and happier. In daily life, the robots can remind old people to take medicine. They walk beside those who have trouble moving. Sensors help them know if someone is unsteady and stop falls. Some robots can even go outside, like walking in the park or shopping nearby, using navigation. Loneliness is a big problem, but these robots are good friends. They talk with old people, tell stories like fairy tales or history, and chat about weather, news, or TV shows. This makes old people feel less lonely and keeps their minds active. The robots also do small jobs. They pick up dropped things like books or glasses. For housework, they dust low places, fold clothes, or sweep floors. This helps old people keep their homes clean without getting too tired. In the future, robots may watch health better. They could check heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. If something is wrong, they can call family or doctors. They might even help with medical tasks like dressing wounds with a doctor's help. As technology improves, making robots will cost less. More families can buy them, leading to better quality. With an aging population, these robots will become very important in society. 1.Why might elderly people feel less lonely with these robots? A. The robots can cook. B. The robots can talk and tell stories. C. The robots can clean quickly. D. The robots can drive them out. 2.Which statement is wrong? A. Robots may improve life quality. B. Fewer families will need robots. C. Making robots will cost less. D. Robots may get more functions. 3.What is the future of these robots? A. Only used in hospitals. B. Less useful over time. C. Cheaper and better. D. Replace all human caregivers. 4.What is the main idea? A. Describe robot appearance. B. Discuss all robots' future. C. Introduce elderly care robots and their role. D. Talk about robot problems. Passage 3 谈论友情 Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members. However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The questions of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions? Who choose your friends? Do you choose you friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like? Your answers are welcome. 1. When teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is _________. A. to go to their friends B. to talk with their parents C. to have a discussion with their family by phone D. to talk with their friends on the phone 2. Which of the following is different in meaning from the sentence “Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends”? A. Some parents may even not allow their children to meeting their good friends. B. Some parents may even ask their children to stay away from their good friends. C. Some parents may even not let their children meet their good friends. D. Some parents may want their children to stop to meet their good friends. 3. Which of the following sentence is right? A. Parents should like everything their children enjoy. B. In all families children can choose everything they like. C. Parents should try their best to understand their children better. D. Teenagers can only go to their friends for help. 4. This passage is a/an_________. A. diary B. story C. advertisement (广告) D. report Passage 4 Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways. One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence. Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world. It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world. In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom. Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you. 1. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By describing a scene. 2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Traveling alone. B. Inner strength. C. Outside influence. D. Traveling with others. 3. Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT ________. A. sharing a lot of things B. knowing yourself better C. getting support easily D. having a sense of safety 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. It’s not a good idea to make the rules about where you go and what you eat by yourself. B. It’s not so easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. C. You can only communicate with the locals and meet travelers from all corners of the world by traveling with friends. D. It’s true that traveling with others makes your journey safer. 5. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2…) A. B. C. D. Passage 5 人类与座头鲸之间的首次交流。 Scientists say they have had a “conversation” with a humpback whale (座头鲸). The scientists are from the University of California, the Alaska Whale Foundation and the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute （搜寻地球外文明研究所). They teamed up and communicated with a humpback whale named Twain. They communicated in “humpback language” for 20 minutes. Their conversation took place after the scientists sent a “contact call” into the ocean off the coast of Alaska. Twain heard the call and responded (回应). She swam to the research boat, circled it and chatted. The SETI Institute said it was the first ever communication between humans and a humpback whale. The scientists said their conversation with Twain was not a deep one. Professor Brenda Mc Cowan said it was more like greetings. Whales use contact calls to let other whales know where they are. The scientists made the same call 36 times over a 20-minute period. Each time, Twain responded by calling back. She even matched the intervals (间隔) between each call that the researchers made, which greatly surprised the scientists. Professor Brenda Mc Cowan told the Business Insider website that this research could make it easier to talk to aliens (外星人). She said, “There are many kinds of intelligent beings on this planet. By studying them, we can better understand what aliens might be like.” Based on this research, scientists may identify calls from space and make first contact with aliens in the future. 1. Where did the “conversation” take place? A. In the SETI Institute. B. In the Alaska Whale Foundation. C. In the ocean off the coast of Alaska. D. In the University of California. 2. Which of the following is TRUE about Twain? A. Twain was in poor health. B. Twain jumped out of the water 36 times. C. Twain responded to the scientist’s call 20 times. D. Twain was so smart that the scientists all felt surprised. 3. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Scientists have received calls from space. B. There are few intelligent beings on Earth. C. This research may help humans contact aliens. D. People can talk with other animals in the future. 4. Which question is answered in this passage? A. Why do the scientists want to search for aliens? B. How many scientists took part in the research? C. What will people do to protect humpback whales? D. How did the scientists have a “conversation” with Twain? 5. Where is the passage possibly from? A. A science magazine. B. A health report. C. A storybook. D. A travel guide. Passage 6 发明与技术 8.1 million people are waiting for calls from strangers worldwide. Some of them consider themselves introverts (内向的人), but as volunteers for Be My Eyes, they all have a kind heart. Be My Eyes was created in 2015 by Wiberg from Denmark. Blind people can use this free app to video call sighted (有视力的) volunteers when they need daily help. Today volunteers outnumber (数量超过) blind users by ten to one. It’s not easy for volunteers to get a call. Zhang Yanfei joined Be My Eyes in 2019 but didn’t receive her first call until four years later. Calls go out to many volunteers at the same time. If one doesn’t answer immediately, another volunteer will take the call. He Yanyan, a stage actress, once received her first call. A young man nervously asked, “Can this app really help?” Feeling nervous herself, she realized the man was also new to the platform. She pictured and explained the objects around him. The caller relaxed and asked if he looked tidy. After she told him that his clothes were clean, the conversation (谈话) continued for a few more rounds until the call was suddenly cut off. The volunteer wondered if she had sounded unfriendly. Cao Zhenxiang was also nervous during his first call. After he helped an elderly man check the expiration date (有效期) on his bread, the two thanked each other repeatedly. “I was so nervous that I didn’t even know why I was thanking him,” he said. Now, Cao feels much more confident. He recently helped a blind person cross the street while working on his computer. “It just felt like chatting with a friend.” he said. 14. What is the main purpose of the Be My Eyes app? A. To help blind people make friends with volunteers. B. To help blind people video call volunteers for daily tasks. C. To train introverts to become more outgoing. D. To provide free medical advice for blind people. 15. Why do volunteers sometimes find it difficult to receive calls on Be My Eyes? A. Because there are too few blind users on the platform. B. Because many volunteers receive calls, and the fastest answers. C. Because the app only allows experienced volunteers to answer calls. D. Because most volunteers are too busy to answer calls. 16. How did He Yanyan feel during her first call as a volunteer? A. Excited but impatient. B. Unfriendly and impolite. C. Confident and relaxed. D. Nervous but helpful. 17. What happened during Cao Zhenxiang’s first call? A. He helped a young man check his clothes. B. He guided a blind person to cross the street. C. He helped an old man read the bread’s expiration date. D. He taught a blind user how to use the app. 18. What is the best title of the passage? A. Blind People Get Help through Video Calls B. King Volunteers Love Helping Others C. A New App for Doing Voluntary Work D. Technology Helps People Become Confident Passage 7 谈论植物 In many people’s eyes, plants are quiet and not active. They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new TV show, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Shown on 10 January on Bilibili, it shows the wonderful way that plants behave (表现). Plants compete against each other to live. Each plant has its own ways of protecting itself. In the rainforest, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the show as only two per cent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to get a ride. Finally, they are both over-taken by a fast-growing tree. As the tree has smooth hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees try to protect themselves in other ways. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (杨树) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s a bit like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. How amazing the plants are! The TV show not only lets us marvel (惊叹) at the magic plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and the air we breathe,” said David Attenborough, host of the show. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants. 31. What is the show The Green Planet mainly about? A. Where wonderful plants are. B. How people change the plants. C. Why plants can’t talk and think. D. What great behaviours of plants are. 32. Which of the followings is TRUE according to the passage? A. A vine can catch up in any other plant. B. Plants use Wi-Fi to communicate with others. C. Fungus is a good tool for some plants to “talk” to others. D. Ninety-eight per cent of sunlight can get through to the forest floor. 33. What can we infer according to the last paragraph? A. The houseplants in the TV show surprise David a lot. B. Humans should do something to protect wild plants. C. Wild plants produce all the food for lives on Earth. D. People can eat and breathe without the help of plants. 34. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The wonderful ways plants behave B. The different ways plants compete C. The new ways we protect wild plants D. The important ways plants communicate 35. What is the structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. Passage 8 谈论英国教育 Few students like homework, but it is an important part of school life in the UK. The UK has these government (政府) rules for homework: Grade 7 and 8 (age 11 to 13): 45 to 90 minutes per day: Grade 9 (ages 14 to 15): 1 to 2 hours a day. Today, many homework tasks are done on a computer. For example, preparing reports, searching for information or doing online tasks. So schools are usually open before and after classes. In this way, students without (没有) computers or the Internet at home can use the schools’ things. Sometimes students have “extended (拓展) learning tasks”. That means they need to do more research and work, especially when working on a history or an art project. But however big the task is, teachers always give feedback (反馈) to help students find the areas where they can improve. Some schools send students home with a homework diary. They encourage parents to check on their children's progress. Other schools have a website for parents to check their children’s performance every day. Sadly, not every parent takes much interest in it. In a survey of 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, over 10% said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15% said that their family did not help them enough. 6. How long does a British student of 12 probably spend on homework per day according to the passage? A. 40 minutes. B. 80 minutes. C. 120 minutes. D. 160 minutes. 7. If students don’t have computers at home, h ow can they finish their online homework? A. They can go to the teacher’s home after school. B. They don’t have to finish their homework. C. They can use the computers at school. D. They have to explain this to their teachers. 8. What can we learn from the survey in the last paragraph? A. The UK parents took much interest in the students' study. B. Over 10% of students had no homework space at home. C. Some parents did not know about the government rules. D. The homework diary worked very well in the UK. 9. Which of the following might the writer agree with according to the passage? A. Homework isn’t a very important part of students’ learning B. Families should support students’ study. C. Extended learning tasks make students work for long hours. D. Parents should give homework feedback at once. Passage 9 What’s the best way to boil (煮) an egg? Scientists in Italy think the answer is “periodic (周期的) cooking”. In cooking, we often talk about two parts of the egg. One is the yolk (蛋黄) and the other is the egg white. They have different nutrients (营养) and need different temperatures for cooking. So, it is difficult to cook both parts just right once and for all. Scientists first ran tests on a computer. They found that changing the water from hot to warm again and again was a good way. It may help the yolk and egg white reach their perfect temperatures at different times. Then, the scientists tried the new way on real eggs. They put the eggs in boiling water (100℃), and moved them to 30℃ water every two minutes. They kept doing this for 32 minutes, and then cooled the eggs under running water. The eggs tasted wonderful. The egg white was very soft and the yolk was creamy (奶油般的). Other ways of boiling eggs ● Hard-boiling: Eggs stay in boiling water for 10 to 12 minutes. It makes the egg rubbery (有弹力的). ● Soft-boiling: Eggs sit in boiling water for 4 to 6 minutes. The yolk is still a little runny by the end. ● Sous vide (低温慢煮): Eggs stay in warm water between 60℃ and 70℃ for at least an hour. It makes both the yolk and egg white creamy. 10. What is the main purpose of the scientists’ research? A. To compare different egg nutrients. B. To invent a faster way to boil eggs. C. To explain why eggs taste creamy. D. To achieve perfect cooking for both yolk and egg white. 11. Why is it difficult to cook egg yolk and egg white perfectly at the same time? A. They have different sizes. B. They require different temperatures. C. They react differently to running water. D. They take different times to cool down. 12. How did scientists test the periodic cooking method? A. By using eggs with creamy yolks. B. By keeping eggs in 100°C water for 32 minutes. C. By switching (转换) between 100°C and 30°C water repeatedly. D. By adding nutrients to the cooking water. 13. The word “runny” in “Soft-boiling” most likely means ______. A. hard and dry B. liquid and not fully solid C. creamy and smooth D. cold and tasteless 14. Which of the following can be inferred about sous vide? A. It is the fastest way to boil eggs. B. It makes the egg white very runny. C. It requires higher temperatures than periodic cooking. D. It takes longer time than periodic cooking. Passage 10 ①It’s hard to say no to a tasty banana. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear (消失) by 2050. ②One reason for this is climate change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data from 27 countries that produce (生产) 86% of the world’s bananas. They found that climate change has helped to improve the banana growth in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield (平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare (公顷). ③However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out. Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing. ④Illnesses are another danger to bananas. Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings (嫩枝扦插) instead of seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型). In other words, if an illness is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all. ⑤One serious illness is called Panama. Caused by fungus in the soil, it spreads (传播) easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation has the illness, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Unluckily, scientists have yet to find a cure for this illness. 19. What does the underlined word “this” refer? A. The popularity of bananas. B. The disappearance of bananas. C. The production of bananas. D. The taste of bananas. 20. How does the writer explain the impact of climate change in Paragraph 2? A. By telling stories. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By listing numbers. 21. Which of the following can show the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③/④⑤ D. ①②③/④/⑤ 22. From the passage, we can learn that _________. A. the average yield of bananas has risen in the past 60 years B. the higher the temperature is, the better bananas will grow C. Panama has killed all the bananas in South Asia D. scientists have already found the cure for Panama Passage 11 When is the last time you eat without doing anything else? Many of us eat while working, playing with phones, or walking around. Scientists call this “distracted eating”. Now we can eat anywhere, but this makes it easier to forget about our food.     When Dillen, a professor at Leiden University, and her workmates do studies in the Netherlands, they find that about 70%-75% of people do other things while eating. This habit may be bad for our health. The studies show that when we don’t focus on eating, we often eat more and feel hungry again sooner. Over time, this can lead to weight gain.      ★ ? When eating, it usually takes our bodies 20 minutes to send “full” signals (信号) to the brain. But if we’re distracted, our brains are too weak to notice these signals well. We can’t feel how full we are and may not taste food properly when these signals are absent.     In one study, some people drink sweet water while working out tasks in a brain scanner (扫描仪). When the tasks are hard, they feel the sweet water is less sugary. Another study in 2021 also finds playing difficult games makes food smell weaker.     Not enjoying food fully makes us unhappy. A study in 2024 shows people like fun activities less when distracted. To feel better, they might eat more.     So, putting down your phone during meals could help you eat less and enjoy more! 27. Which of the following picture best describes “distracted eating”? A. B. C. D. 28. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. Why does this happen B. What do you think of this C. How can we solve this D. When do we notice this 29. If we do other things when eating, we will ________.     ① eat more     ② feel hungry again soon put on weight     ③ feel food less tasty     ④ make ourselves unhappy A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②③④ D. ①③④ 30. Which is the RIGHT structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2, . . . ) A. B. C. D. 31. Let’s learn about Confucius’ wisdom (孔子的智慧) on eating. Which of the following is similar to the author’s opinion? A. Do not eat out of season. B. Eat fine food, cut meat finely. C. No talking while eating and sleeping. D. Meat should be no more than the staple food (主食). Passage 12 ①Imagine (想象) you have to give a talk tomorrow. The night before, you might worry a lot about making mistakes. You might think about it again and again. This is called overthinking. ②Overthinking means thinking too much about something. You might worry about what others will think or imagine bad things happening. Our brains (脑) sometimes do this because they want to keep us safe. In the past, this helped people keep away from danger. But now, it can make us feel worried. ③Some people think overthinking is good because it helps them plan (做计划). But often, it just makes us feel bad. It can also make it difficult to have conversations with others. When we worry too much, we might not understand what others say or do. ④So, what can we do? One way is to relax yourself. Do something fun like playing a game, drawing, or going for a walk. Sometimes, our brains can find better ways when we’re relaxed. ⑤Another way is to change (改变) your ideas when you’re overthinking. When you start to worry, ask yourself if it’s really true. Think about other results that might not be so bad. Remember, it’s okay to think about problems, but don’t let them control (控制) you. 32. What does “overthinking” mean according to the passage? A. Thinking about something only once. B. Thinking a lot about good things. C. Thinking carefully for the future. D. Thinking too much about a problem. 33. Why can “overthinking” make it difficult to have conversations with others? A. It makes people worry about others. B. It makes people become too excited. C. It makes people hardly understand others’ words. D. It makes people want to relax. 34. What is the structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 35. What might the writer talk about next? A. The reason why some people enjoy overthinking. B. The history of overthinking in different cultures. C. More ways to stop yourself overthinking. D. More examples of how overthinking can be helpful. Passage 13 Do you go on school trips? Do you think you can learn a lot from the school trips? It’s true that the classroom is very important in students’ learning, but they can learn outside, too. School trips give students different learning experiences. First of all, school trips are special lessons for students. There are many interesting things that are easy to learn on the trips. It’s like watching videos in class, but even better. What’s more, being outside can be the best way of understanding the things you learned in the classroom. On school trips, students get excited to see the things that teachers often talk about in the classroom. It can help them explore their interest and make them think differently. Taking the students to a historical place, for example, makes them picture what they learned inside the classroom and read from history books. Also, students can meet new people on school trips. They meet people who may be working to look after the plants, animals or parks. These people have better ideas of how things work in the real world. Talking with them can help open students’ eyes. Also students need to work on groups on a school trip. They may meet new students from other schools. They can make friends and then help each other. With all these benefits (好处) of school trip, why don’t you go out of the classroom and start the journey of learning? 40. How does the writer start the article? A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By using a saying. 41. Which is the best way to understand the things learned in the classroom? A. Watching videos. B. Reading books. C. Being outside. D. Talking to teachers. 42. Why is it good for students to meet new people? ①Some new people are from the real world. ②Some new people help open students’ eyes. ③Students need to work in groups with old friends. ④Students can make friends with students from other schools. A. ①② B. ②④ C. ①④ D. ②③ 43. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. Passage 14 Unlocking Real Happiness When I was your age, my mom always told me, “I just want you to be happy. “She didn’t care what I grew up to be as long as I promised to stay happy. But what exactly is happiness? Is it a destination (目的地), or is it more like a road that never ends? Is happiness on social media? It sure seems that way. People love posting perfect pictures of their best moments online. But if you ever want to feel bad about your life, just jump online and scroll through (滚屏浏览) those posts. Platforms like Weibo and Xiaohongshu make us believe that we could be prettier, healthier, wealthier, and of course, happier. Plenty of research has linked (联系) social media use to low moods (心情). One U.S.study found that people who use social media for more than two hours a day are twice as likely to feel lonely. ________ When we share a happy moment, we must have felt happy, right? Well, yes, but over the years, I’ve come to discover—and experience—the “hedonic treadmill.” We get excited when something good happens, but after a short time, we return to feeling the same as before. In other words, happiness only lasts for so long. As the effects (影响) of one “happy” moment wear off, we set out in search (搜寻) of new sources of happiness. And social media has made this search harder than ever. Happily, there’s still hope for us to find lasting happiness:It’s called “emotional authenticity.” This happens when we allow ourselves to feel and process emotions (情绪) like anger, disappointment, fear and sadness. It’s not easy, but when we are honest about our experiences, we build deeper and more meaningful connections with others. And those friendships bring us smiles that last much longer than any number of “likes” on a screen! March 20th is World Happiness Day.

As a hot topic, the policy has been tested in provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan with useful experience. These short holidays bring many good points to students. They can lower study pressure after long-time learning and help students keep healthy both in body and mind. With nice and comfortable weather, students can go out of classrooms to take part in real activities, including farming experiences, nature watching and local culture learning. In this way, book knowledge is turned into real-life experience. The holidays also bring good points to families. Wrong-time leave lets parents spend happy time with their children at lower costs, away from the large crowds of busy travel seasons. Many families choose to travel, visit relatives or go to museums together, making family ties closer. At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy, making a win-win situation for education and society. However, difficulties still exist in the policy's carrying out (实施). The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays. To solve this, many schools offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities offer more activities for students. The holidays can also be set freely according to local situations. In short, spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational change. They show a turn from exam-centered education to a focus on all-round development. With joint efforts from families, schools and society, these holidays will help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way. 1.Why are the holidays good for society and education? A. They make schools have longer teaching time. B. They help develop local tourism and create a win-win situation. C. They let parents spend less time with their children. D. They make people travel only during busy seasons. 2.Which of the following statements is Right? A. All places in China have already started spring and autumn holidays. B. Students can only learn knowledge from textbooks during the holidays. C. Staggered leave can help families save money and avoid crowds. D. There are no problems in carrying out the new holiday policy. 3.What can we know about the challenges of the policy? A. Schools can do nothing to help working parents. B. Many working parents have difficulty looking after their kids. C. The holidays must be set in the same way across the country. D. Communities don’t offer any activities for students. 4.What does the writer think of spring and autumn holidays? A. They are useless for students’ all-round development. B. They are an important educational change. C. They make education pay more attention to exams only. D. Families, schools and society need not work together. 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to help working parents look after their children. B. How to make students become more creative. C. The importance of developing local tourism. D. The introduction of spring and autumn holidays and their influences. 【答案】BCBBD 【解析】本文介绍了我国将支持有条件的中小学实施春秋假并推行职工错峰带薪休假的政策，阐述了该假期对学生、家庭和社会的好处、实施中的困难及整体意义。 1.细节理解题。根据第三段 “At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy, making a win-win situation for education and society.” 可知，春秋假有助于发展当地旅游，实现教育和社会双赢。故选 B。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段 “Wrong-time leave lets parents spend happy time with their children at lower costs, away from the large crowds of busy travel seasons.” 可知，错峰休假能让家庭节约开支、避开人流高峰。故选 C。 3.推理判断题。根据第四段 “The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays.” 可知，该政策面临的主要挑战是许多上班族父母假期难以照顾孩子。故选 B。 4.推理判断题。根据第五段 “In short, spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational change.” 可知，作者认为中小学春秋假是一项重要的教育变革。故选 B。 5.主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了中小学春秋假政策、好处、实施难题及影响。故选 D。 Passage 2 老年护理机器人 On February 25th 2025, new elderly care robots were shown to people. These robots help old people in many ways and make their lives easier and happier. In daily life, the robots can remind old people to take medicine. They walk beside those who have trouble moving. Sensors help them know if someone is unsteady and stop falls. Some robots can even go outside, like walking in the park or shopping nearby, using navigation. Loneliness is a big problem, but these robots are good friends. They talk with old people, tell stories like fairy tales or history, and chat about weather, news, or TV shows. This makes old people feel less lonely and keeps their minds active. The robots also do small jobs. They pick up dropped things like books or glasses. For housework, they dust low places, fold clothes, or sweep floors. This helps old people keep their homes clean without getting too tired. In the future, robots may watch health better. They could check heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. If something is wrong, they can call family or doctors. They might even help with medical tasks like dressing wounds with a doctor's help. As technology improves, making robots will cost less. More families can buy them, leading to better quality. With an aging population, these robots will become very important in society. 1.Why might elderly people feel less lonely with these robots? A. The robots can cook. B. The robots can talk and tell stories. C. The robots can clean quickly. D. The robots can drive them out. 2.Which statement is wrong? A. Robots may improve life quality. B.

They believe that their family members, and in particular their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members. However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The questions of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions? Who choose your friends? Do you choose you friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?

Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways. One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence. Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world. It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world. In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom. Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station. There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you. 1. How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1? A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples. C. By asking questions. D. By describing a scene. 2. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Traveling alone. B. Inner strength. C. Outside influence. D. Traveling with others. 3. Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT ________. A. sharing a lot of things B. knowing yourself better C. getting support easily D. having a sense of safety 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. It’s not a good idea to make the rules about where you go and what you eat by yourself. B. It’s not so easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. C. You can only communicate with the locals and meet travelers from all corners of the world by traveling with friends. D. It’s true that traveling with others makes your journey safer. 5. What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2…) A. B. C. D. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D 5. A 【解析】本文主要介绍了独自旅行以及和朋友旅行的优点。 1. 细节理解题。根据“Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends?”可知，作者通过两个问题引出本文的话题。故选C。 2. 词句猜测题。根据“Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world.”可知，独自旅行真的向你展示了自己的本质，并帮助你发现内心的力量，它也给你思考、学习和成长的时间，故此处it指代“独自旅行”。故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据“One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process”可知，与朋友一起旅行的主要优势之一是能够分享这些东西，并在整个过程中相互支持；根据“Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel.”可知，与他人一起旅行确实能给你一种安全感，B选项没有提及。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据“Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel.”可知，旅行时有其他人在会让旅程更安全。故选D。 5. 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出文章的主题；第二至第四段介绍独自旅行的优点；第五至第六段介绍和朋友旅行的优点；第七段进行总结。故选A。 Passage 5 人类与座头鲸之间的首次交流。 Scientists say they have had a “conversation” with a humpback whale (座头鲸). The scientists are from the University of California, the Alaska Whale Foundation and the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute （搜寻地球外文明研究所). They teamed up and communicated with a humpback whale named Twain. They communicated in “humpback language” for 20 minutes. Their conversation took place after the scientists sent a “contact call” into the ocean off the coast of Alaska. Twain heard the call and responded (回应). She swam to the research boat, circled it and chatted. The SETI Institute said it was the first ever communication between humans and a humpback whale. The scientists said their conversation with Twain was not a deep one. Professor Brenda Mc Cowan said it was more like greetings. Whales use contact calls to let other whales know where they are. The scientists made the same call 36 times over a 20-minute period. Each time, Twain responded by calling back. She even matched the intervals (间隔) between each call that the researchers made, which greatly surprised the scientists. Professor Brenda Mc Cowan told the Business Insider website that this research could make it easier to talk to aliens (外星人). She said, “There are many kinds of intelligent beings on this planet. By studying them, we can better understand what aliens might be like.” Based on this research, scientists may identify calls from space and make first contact with aliens in the future. 1. Where did the “conversation” take place? A. In the SETI Institute. B. In the Alaska Whale Foundation. C. In the ocean off the coast of Alaska. D. In the University of California. 2. Which of the following is TRUE about Twain? A. Twain was in poor health. B. Twain jumped out of the water 36 times. C. Twain responded to the scientist’s call 20 times. D. Twain was so smart that the scientists all felt surprised. 3. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Scientists have received calls from space. B. There are few intelligent beings on Earth. C. This research may help humans contact aliens. D. People can talk with other animals in the future. 4. Which question is answered in this passage? A. Why do the scientists want to search for aliens? B. How many scientists took part in the research? C. What will people do to protect humpback whales? D. How did the scientists have a “conversation” with Twain? 5. Where is the passage possibly from? A. A science magazine. B. A health report. C. A storybook. D. A travel guide. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 4. D 5. A 【解析】本文主要介绍了科学家与座头鲸的“对话”，这是人类与座头鲸之间的首次交流。 1. 细节理解题。根据“Their conversation took place after the scientists sent a “contact call” into the ocean off the coast of Alaska.”可知，对话发生在阿拉斯加海岸的海洋中。故选C。 2. 推理判断题。根据“The scientists made the same call 36 times over a 20-minute period. Each time, Twain responded by calling back. She even matched the intervals (间隔) between each call that the researchers made, which greatly surprised the scientists.”可知，科学家们在20分钟内发出了36次同样的信号，每次Twain都会回应，她甚至匹配了研究人员每次通话之间的间隔，这可说明Twain非常聪明，科学家们对此感到惊讶。故选D。 3. 细节理解题。根据“Professor Brenda Mc Cowan told the Business Insider website that this research could make it easier to talk to aliens (外星人).”可知，这项研究可能有助于人类与外星人联系。故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据“They communicated in ‘humpback language’ for 20 minutes. Their conversation took place after the scientists sent a ‘contact call’ into the ocean off the coast of Alaska.”可知，文中阐述了科学家通过“座头鲸语言”与Twain交谈了20分钟，因此回答了是如何与Twain进行“对话”的。故选D。 5. 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了科学研究和与鲸鱼的“对话”，这通常出现在科学杂志中。故选A。 Passage 6 发明与技术 8.1 million people are waiting for calls from strangers worldwide. Some of them consider themselves introverts (内向的人), but as volunteers for Be My Eyes, they all have a kind heart. Be My Eyes was created in 2015 by Wiberg from Denmark. Blind people can use this free app to video call sighted (有视力的) volunteers when they need daily help. Today volunteers outnumber (数量超过) blind users by ten to one. It’s not easy for volunteers to get a call. Zhang Yanfei joined Be My Eyes in 2019 but didn’t receive her first call until four years later. Calls go out to many volunteers at the same time. If one doesn’t answer immediately, another volunteer will take the call. He Yanyan, a stage actress, once received her first call. A young man nervously asked, “Can this app really help?” Feeling nervous herself, she realized the man was also new to the platform. She pictured and explained the objects around him. The caller relaxed and asked if he looked tidy. After she told him that his clothes were clean, the conversation (谈话) continued for a few more rounds until the call was suddenly cut off. The volunteer wondered if she had sounded unfriendly. Cao Zhenxiang was also nervous during his first call. After he helped an elderly man check the expiration date (有效期) on his bread, the two thanked each other repeatedly. “I was so nervous that I didn’t even know why I was thanking him,” he said. Now, Cao feels much more confident. He recently helped a blind person cross the street while working on his computer. “It just felt like chatting with a friend.” he said. 14. What is the main purpose of the Be My Eyes app? A. To help blind people make friends with volunteers. B. To help blind people video call volunteers for daily tasks. C.

They can’t talk. They can’t walk. And they can’t think like us. Or can they? A new TV show, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Shown on 10 January on Bilibili, it shows the wonderful way that plants behave (表现). Plants compete against each other to live. Each plant has its own ways of protecting itself. In the rainforest, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the show as only two per cent of the sunlight gets through it. Some plants spread their big leaves to reach light. But they are caught up in a vine (藤本植物) that tries to get a ride. Finally, they are both over-taken by a fast-growing tree. As the tree has smooth hairs on its leaves, the vine can’t get a hold. Similarly, some trees try to protect themselves in other ways. Plants also help each other and even communicate. In deserts, the roots of Euphrates poplar (杨树) are connected. If a tree finds water, it will share it with others through the roots. Studies also show that plants use fungus (真菌) as a way to “talk” to each other. It’s a bit like how Wi-Fi works. If a tomato plant gets a leaf disease, it can tell nearby plants about it. How amazing the plants are! The TV show not only lets us marvel (惊叹) at the magic plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “Plants are the needs of all life, including ourselves. We depend on them for every mouth of food that we eat and the air we breathe,” said David Attenborough, host of the show. It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants. 31. What is the show The Green Planet mainly about? A. Where wonderful plants are. B. How people change the plants. C. Why plants can’t talk and think. D. What great behaviours of plants are. 32. Which of the followings is TRUE according to the passage? A. A vine can catch up in any other plant. B. Plants use Wi-Fi to communicate with others. C. Fungus is a good tool for some plants to “talk” to others. D. Ninety-eight per cent of sunlight can get through to the forest floor. 33. What can we infer according to the last paragraph? A. The houseplants in the TV show surprise David a lot. B. Humans should do something to protect wild plants. C. Wild plants produce all the food for lives on Earth. D. People can eat and breathe without the help of plants. 34. What can be the best title for the passage? A. The wonderful ways plants behave B. The different ways plants compete C. The new ways we protect wild plants D. The important ways plants communicate 35. What is the structure (结构) of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】31. D 32. C 33. B 34. A 35. A 【来源】广东广州市越秀区育才中学2024-2025学年七年级下学期期中考试英语试题 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了植物之间的竞争、自我保护、互助和沟通等行为，并通过电视节目《绿色星球》展示了植物的神奇世界，强调了植物的重要性。 31. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A new TV show, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Shown on 10 January on Bilibili, it shows the wonderful way that plants behave.”可知，节目《绿色星球》主要展示了植物的行为方式。故选D。 32. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Studies also show that plants use fungus as a way to ‘talk’ to each other.”可知，真菌是植物之间“交流”的工具。故选C。 33. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It’s time to look after wild plants just as carefully as our houseplants.”可推断，人类应该采取措施保护野生植物。故选B。 34. 最佳标题。文章主要讲述了植物的行为方式，包括竞争、自我保护、互助和沟通等，因此最佳标题应为“植物的奇妙行为方式”。故选A。 35. 篇章结构题。文章第一段引出《绿色星球》这个节目以及植物可能有不同表现的话题；第二、三段介绍植物相互竞争的行为；第四段介绍植物相互帮助和交流的行为；第五段强调植物的重要性以及我们要保护野生植物。整体结构是总分总，第一段总起，中间二、三、四段分述植物的不同行为，第五段总结并呼吁保护植物。故选A。 Passage 8 谈论英国教育 Few students like homework, but it is an important part of school life in the UK. The UK has these government (政府) rules for homework: Grade 7 and 8 (age 11 to 13): 45 to 90 minutes per day: Grade 9 (ages 14 to 15): 1 to 2 hours a day. Today, many homework tasks are done on a computer. For example, preparing reports, searching for information or doing online tasks. So schools are usually open before and after classes. In this way, students without (没有) computers or the Internet at home can use the schools’ things. Sometimes students have “extended (拓展) learning tasks”. That means they need to do more research and work, especially when working on a history or an art project. But however big the task is, teachers always give feedback (反馈) to help students find the areas where they can improve. Some schools send students home with a homework diary. They encourage parents to check on their children's progress. Other schools have a website for parents to check their children’s performance every day. Sadly, not every parent takes much interest in it. In a survey of 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, over 10% said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15% said that their family did not help them enough. 6. How long does a British student of 12 probably spend on homework per day according to the passage? A. 40 minutes. B. 80 minutes. C. 120 minutes. D. 160 minutes. 7. If students don’t have computers at home, h ow can they finish their online homework? A. They can go to the teacher’s home after school. B. They don’t have to finish their homework. C. They can use the computers at school. D. They have to explain this to their teachers. 8. What can we learn from the survey in the last paragraph? A.

Scientists in Italy think the answer is “periodic (周期的) cooking”. In cooking, we often talk about two parts of the egg. One is the yolk (蛋黄) and the other is the egg white. They have different nutrients (营养) and need different temperatures for cooking. So, it is difficult to cook both parts just right once and for all. Scientists first ran tests on a computer. They found that changing the water from hot to warm again and again was a good way. It may help the yolk and egg white reach their perfect temperatures at different times. Then, the scientists tried the new way on real eggs. They put the eggs in boiling water (100℃), and moved them to 30℃ water every two minutes. They kept doing this for 32 minutes, and then cooled the eggs under running water. The eggs tasted wonderful. The egg white was very soft and the yolk was creamy (奶油般的). Other ways of boiling eggs ● Hard-boiling: Eggs stay in boiling water for 10 to 12 minutes. It makes the egg rubbery (有弹力的). ● Soft-boiling: Eggs sit in boiling water for 4 to 6 minutes. The yolk is still a little runny by the end. ● Sous vide (低温慢煮): Eggs stay in warm water between 60℃ and 70℃ for at least an hour. It makes both the yolk and egg white creamy. 10. What is the main purpose of the scientists’ research? A. To compare different egg nutrients. B. To invent a faster way to boil eggs. C. To explain why eggs taste creamy. D. To achieve perfect cooking for both yolk and egg white. 11. Why is it difficult to cook egg yolk and egg white perfectly at the same time? A. They have different sizes. B. They require different temperatures. C. They react differently to running water. D. They take different times to cool down. 12. How did scientists test the periodic cooking method? A. By using eggs with creamy yolks. B. By keeping eggs in 100°C water for 32 minutes. C. By switching (转换) between 100°C and 30°C water repeatedly. D. By adding nutrients to the cooking water. 13. The word “runny” in “Soft-boiling” most likely means ______. A. hard and dry B. liquid and not fully solid C. creamy and smooth D. cold and tasteless 14. Which of the following can be inferred about sous vide? A. It is the fastest way to boil eggs. B. It makes the egg white very runny. C. It requires higher temperatures than periodic cooking. D. It takes longer time than periodic cooking. 【答案】10. D 11. B 12. C 13. B 14.

The yolk is still a little runny by the end.”及常识可知，溏心蛋的蛋黄应是半流动状态的，未完全凝固的。故选B。 14. 推理判断题。根据“Eggs stay in warm water between 60℃and 70℃ for at least an hour.”及“They kept doing this for 32 minutes...”可知，低温慢煮法需要花费至少一个小时，比周期烹饪法花费的时间更久。故选D。 Passage 10 ①It’s hard to say no to a tasty banana. They taste good and you don’t have to wash them before eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear (消失) by 2050. ②One reason for this is climate change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data from 27 countries that produce (生产) 86% of the world’s bananas. They found that climate change has helped to improve the banana growth in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield (平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare (公顷). ③However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the world’s biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out. Shouldn’t bananas grow more easily if it’s hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing. ④Illnesses are another danger to bananas. Unlike other plants, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings (嫩枝扦插) instead of seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype (基因型). In other words, if an illness is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all. ⑤One serious illness is called Panama. Caused by fungus in the soil, it spreads (传播) easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation has the illness, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Unluckily, scientists have yet to find a cure for this illness. 19. What does the underlined word “this” refer? A. The popularity of bananas. B. The disappearance of bananas. C. The production of bananas. D. The taste of bananas. 20. How does the writer explain the impact of climate change in Paragraph 2? A. By telling stories. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By listing numbers. 21. Which of the following can show the structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④/⑤ B. ①②/③④/⑤ C. ①/②③/④⑤ D. ①②③/④/⑤ 22. From the passage, we can learn that _________. A. the average yield of bananas has risen in the past 60 years B. the higher the temperature is, the better bananas will grow C. Panama has killed all the bananas in South Asia D. scientists have already found the cure for Panama 【答案】19. B 20. D 21. C 22.

Many of us eat while working, playing with phones, or walking around. Scientists call this “distracted eating”. Now we can eat anywhere, but this makes it easier to forget about our food.     When Dillen, a professor at Leiden University, and her workmates do studies in the Netherlands, they find that about 70%-75% of people do other things while eating. This habit may be bad for our health. The studies show that when we don’t focus on eating, we often eat more and feel hungry again sooner. Over time, this can lead to weight gain.      ★ ? When eating, it usually takes our bodies 20 minutes to send “full” signals (信号) to the brain. But if we’re distracted, our brains are too weak to notice these signals well. We can’t feel how full we are and may not taste food properly when these signals are absent.     In one study, some people drink sweet water while working out tasks in a brain scanner (扫描仪). When the tasks are hard, they feel the sweet water is less sugary. Another study in 2021 also finds playing difficult games makes food smell weaker.     Not enjoying food fully makes us unhappy. A study in 2024 shows people like fun activities less when distracted. To feel better, they might eat more.     So, putting down your phone during meals could help you eat less and enjoy more! 27. Which of the following picture best describes “distracted eating”? A. B. C. D. 28. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. Why does this happen B. What do you think of this C. How can we solve this D. When do we notice this 29. If we do other things when eating, we will ________.     ① eat more     ② feel hungry again soon put on weight     ③ feel food less tasty     ④ make ourselves unhappy A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②③④ D. ①③④ 30. Which is the RIGHT structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2, . . . ) A. B. C. D. 31. Let’s learn about Confucius’ wisdom (孔子的智慧) on eating.

Scientists call this ‘distracted eating’.”可知，我们很多人会一边工作、玩手机或者四处走动，一边吃饭。科学家将这种行为称为“distracted eating”即“分心进食”。选项B图片中的人在吃饭时同时看手机，符合“分心进食”的定义。故选B。 28. 细节理解题。根据下文“When eating, it usually takes our bodies 20 minutes to send “full” signals to the brain. But if we’re distracted, our brains are too weak to notice these signals well. We can’t feel how full we are and may not taste food properly when these signals are absent.”可知，进食时，我们的身体通常需要20分钟才能向大脑发送“饱腹”信号。但如果我们分心，大脑就无法很好地察觉这些信号，从而导致我们多进食。此处位于本段开头，需要引出“分心进食导致多吃”的原因。选项A“为什么会这样”符合语境。故选A。 29. 细节理解题。根据“The studies show that when we don’t locus on eating, we often eat more and feel hungry again sooner. Over time, this can lead to weight gain.”以及“But if we’re distracted, our brains are too weak to notice these signals well. We can’t feel how full we are and may not taste food properly when these signals are absent.”可知，分心进食会导致：①吃更多；②更快感到饥饿；③食物尝起来不那么美味。文中没有提到“④让我们自己不开心”的内容。因此①②③是正确的。故选A。 30. 篇章结构题。根据文中内容可知，第1段引入“分心进食”概念；第2-5段从生理机制、实验研究、情绪影响等方面展开论述，说明其普遍性及危害性；第6段总结建议。整体为“总-分-总”结构。选项A的结构图示“总-分-总”的结构。故选A。 31. 推理判断题。根据文中内容可知，作者强调“专注进食”的重要性，与孔子“食不语，寝不言”的理念一致，均倡导进食时保持专注。选项C“食不语，寝不言”直接对应专注进食的观点。故选C。 Passage 12 ①Imagine (想象) you have to give a talk tomorrow. The night before, you might worry a lot about making mistakes. You might think about it again and again. This is called overthinking. ②Overthinking means thinking too much about something. You might worry about what others will think or imagine bad things happening. Our brains (脑) sometimes do this because they want to keep us safe. In the past, this helped people keep away from danger. But now, it can make us feel worried. ③Some people think overthinking is good because it helps them plan (做计划). But often, it just makes us feel bad. It can also make it difficult to have conversations with others. When we worry too much, we might not understand what others say or do. ④So, what can we do? One way is to relax yourself. Do something fun like playing a game, drawing, or going for a walk. Sometimes, our brains can find better ways when we’re relaxed. ⑤Another way is to change (改变) your ideas when you’re overthinking. When you start to worry, ask yourself if it’s really true. Think about other results that might not be so bad. Remember, it’s okay to think about problems, but don’t let them control (控制) you. 32. What does “overthinking” mean according to the passage? A.

Do you think you can learn a lot from the school trips? It’s true that the classroom is very important in students’ learning, but they can learn outside, too. School trips give students different learning experiences. First of all, school trips are special lessons for students. There are many interesting things that are easy to learn on the trips. It’s like watching videos in class, but even better. What’s more, being outside can be the best way of understanding the things you learned in the classroom. On school trips, students get excited to see the things that teachers often talk about in the classroom. It can help them explore their interest and make them think differently. Taking the students to a historical place, for example, makes them picture what they learned inside the classroom and read from history books. Also, students can meet new people on school trips. They meet people who may be working to look after the plants, animals or parks. These people have better ideas of how things work in the real world. Talking with them can help open students’ eyes. Also students need to work on groups on a school trip. They may meet new students from other schools. They can make friends and then help each other.

But what exactly is happiness? Is it a destination (目的地), or is it more like a road that never ends? Is happiness on social media? It sure seems that way. People love posting perfect pictures of their best moments online. But if you ever want to feel bad about your life, just jump online and scroll through (滚屏浏览) those posts. Platforms like Weibo and Xiaohongshu make us believe that we could be prettier, healthier, wealthier, and of course, happier. Plenty of research has linked (联系) social media use to low moods (心情). One U.S.study found that people who use social media for more than two hours a day are twice as likely to feel lonely. ________ When we share a happy moment, we must have felt happy, right? Well, yes, but over the years, I’ve come to discover—and experience—the “hedonic treadmill.” We get excited when something good happens, but after a short time, we return to feeling the same as before. In other words, happiness only lasts for so long. As the effects (影响) of one “happy” moment wear off, we set out in search (搜寻) of new sources of happiness. And social media has made this search harder than ever. Happily, there’s still hope for us to find lasting happiness:It’s called “emotional authenticity.” This happens when we allow ourselves to feel and process emotions (情绪) like anger, disappointment, fear and sadness. It’s not easy, but when we are honest about our experiences, we build deeper and more meaningful connections with others. And those friendships bring us smiles that last much longer than any number of “likes” on a screen! March 20th is World Happiness Day. Take it as a reminder that happiness isn’t about chasing a picture-perfect life. Trying to be happy all the time is like trying to catch a unicorn (独角兽)—it’s just not going to happen. Instead, focus on your own journey and accept the variety (不同种类) of emotions you’ll feel along the way. 49. According to the article, it seems that happiness is on social media because __________. A. scrolling through social media posts makes people happy B. social media helps people form deep friendships C. many people post their happiest moments there D. many researchers have linked social media use to happiness 50.
