Eat Well for Less It is a UK reality show that helps families on a budget by improving their eating and cooking habits.The hosts visit families,observe their grocery shopping,and then offer advice on reducing weekly food costs.They clear up misunderstanding about food,teach how to reduce waste,and suggest healthier,budget-friendly meals. Living Smaller It offers insights into maximizing space in limited areas.You’ll see how others have creatively improved their tiny homes,built budget-friendly yet exceptionally functional spaces,created renting opportunities,and more.It gives a view into how you can enjoy your small space better or save money by reducing your space. The Minimalist:Less Is Now It is a Netflix documentary that shows how you can enjoy your life with less.The show will offer great suggestions on tidying your home and changing your spending mindset(思维模式).If you don’t know how to start,begin with your closet:get rid of clothes that are worn and torn,sell some clothes for profit,and limit your shopping budget to avoid getting back into your old habits. Get Smart with Money It’s a short documentary-style movie which is filled with valuable suggestions you won’t find in many popular reality TV shows.People facing financial(财务的) difficulties are introduced to well-known economic advisers throughout the year.Each story is unique yet connects with the audience,and you’ll want to remember each piece of financial advice offered in the movie. 21.Which show is related to clearing up your living space?

B.Tips on economical living. C.Ideas about having fun. D.Ways to live a quality life. B I was in middle school when I had my first bout with anxiety,and it began when I struggled with the pressure of being on a sports team.Being constantly compared to others caused a pit in my stomach that kept rising.I was scared and uncomfortable. I had to find a way to cope.My therapist taught me to fill in the gaps,because anxiety would show up on and on its own schedule,and I had to be prepared to deal with it.I knew I had to turn to something I enjoyed in order to cope.I love to write.As a child,my father always influenced me to write my own story.In middle school,I wrote letters to my future self in a diary.Today,I run the feature section in our student newspaper,which interviews student staff and alumni about their hobbies they’ve turned into passions. In the beginning,I didn’t know what to write.But as the words began to flow,I began acknowledging feelings I’d been pushing down.If I experienced uneasiness,even queasiness,I’d write about it.If I felt guilty for having anxiety,I’d write about it.If I felt like everyone else was handling their anxiety way better than me,I’d write about it.Writing allowed me to look at my feelings as a third person,and just as a friend might tell you that you’re being too hard on yourself,or only looks like people are handling their anxiety well.Writing allowed me to look at the absurdity and the high standards I set for myself.Writing opens up my heart and relinquishes the pit in my stomach that tells me I am not good enough,or I will make the wrong decision. As I write more and more,it’s like exercise.Maybe I don’t want to get started,but as I move the pen across the page,I feel stronger.I felt proud of myself.I felt accomplished.The actual content of what I write is less important than writing itself.I kept writing,it is powerful to me,and I see it has the power to calm me down and sharpen my focus.Writing has been a gift. 24.What brought about the author’s initial anxiety during middle school years? A.Talking with friends. B.Keeping a diary. C.Joining a sports team. D.Seeing a therapist. 25.What does the underlined word “alumni” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Workers. B.Graduates. C.Coaches. D.Principals. 26.How does the author cope with anxiety through writing? A.By writing about his own feelings. B.By writing letters to his future self. C.By writing about other people’s stories. D.By writing about interviews with others. 27.Why does the author consider writing a gift? A.Because it speaks volumes about his position. B.Because it relieves the author’s sense of pride. C.Because it makes the author feel physically stronger. D.Because it settles him down and clarifies his thoughts. C In a world filled with social media,streaming movies,and endless access to books,it seems strange that many people feel bored.However,a study by Katy Y.Y.Tam and Michael Inzlicht,published in Communications Psychology,reveals that digital media may actually increase our boredom.Research shows that since 2010,the amount of time people report feeling bored has significantly increased,especially after smartphones and social media became popular. Researchers explain that our ability to access entertainment anytime has raised our expectations for what is interesting or exciting.This is similar to addiction,where individuals need more stimulation(刺激) to feel satisfied.Consequently,when we engage in less exciting activities,such as reading or attending classes,we feel even more bored because we have become accustomed to higher levels of excitement. Another reason why strolling through platforms like TikTok can leave us feeling bored and less energetic is that digital media breaks our attention.We quickly switch between videos and activities,while notifications from our phones make it difficult to focus.Also,knowing that we can be distracted makes it harder to focus.“Digital devices worsen boredom by distracting attention,raising the levels of engagement we want,weakening a sense of meaning,and being a useless way to deal with boredom,” Tam and Inzlicht say in their paper.This phenomenon is related to the “Dorito Theory” which suggests that unsatisfying experiences can still be addictive.As we scroll,we should consider whether our online experiences meet our expectations or merely distract us temporarily. Tam suggests that we can enjoy more meaningful experiences with digital media by seeking out longer content that allows for deeper engagement.However,this may be more challenging today due to our shorter attention duration.To strengthen our viewing experiences,we should focus on the content and limit distractions,similar to how we pay for a more immersive (沉浸式的) experience in a movie theater.By doing so,we can find greater enjoyment in online videos rather than just skimming through them.This approach can help us overcome boredom more effectively. 28.What does the study focus on? A.Digital media effects on boredom. B.Entertainment functions of media. C.Media usage habits of netizens. D.Popularity of streaming movies. 29.What leads to boredom increase according to the study? A.Lack of exciting books. B.Bad media experiences. C.Easy access to digital content. D.High enjoyment expectations. 30.What can we learn from paragraph 3? A.Assessing online experiences is a must. B.Shifting activities promote focus. C.Using TikTok is highly addictive. D.Boredom leads to distraction. 31.What is Tam’s suggestion on dealing with boredom? A.Watching online videos. B.Avoiding using digital device. C.Turning to long and engaging content. D.Using multiple screens for stimulation. D As you’re drafting your New Year’s resolutions,you may think that it takes 21 days of repeating an action for that action to become a habit.So,you set out to go to the gym for 21 days,thinking that by the 22nd day heading to the gym will feel automatic—maybe even fun. However,that 21-day estimate isn’t true.A habit expert Wendy Wood found that this falsehood came from a self-help book in the 1960s and actually described how long it takes to get used to your new appearance after plastic surgery.It’s important to note that getting used to something is not the same thing as forming a habit,and perhaps the two concepts got confused along the way,giving rise to the term today. To figure out how long it actually takes to form a habit,Phillippa Lally,and her team did a series of research. They recruited 96 people and asked each person to choose one new habit and report each day on whether or not they did the behavior and how automatic the behavior felt.Some people chose simple habits like “drinking a bottle of water with lunch.” Others chose more difficult tasks like “running for 15 minutes before dinner.” At the end of 12 weeks,the researchers analyzed the data to determine how long it took each person to go from starting a new behavior to automatically doing it. The study found that it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic—66 days to be exact.And if you want to set your expectations appropriately,the truth is that it will probably take you anywhere from two months to eight months to build a new behavior into your life.Interestingly,the researchers also found that “missing one opportunity to perform the behavior did not affect the habit formation process.” That is to say,it doesn’t matter if you mess up every now and then.Building better habits is not an all-or-nothing process. So,for those who wish to form certain habits,persistence is king.To form a good habit,we need to pay more energy and effort. 32.What does “21days” actually mean according to Wendy Wood? A.The time one drafts a book. B.The time one develops a new habit. C.The time one gets used to something. D.The time one recovers from a surgery. 33.How did the researchers do the research? A.By doing questionnaires. B.By tracking people’s behaviors. C.By making predictions. D.By analyzing data of previous studies. 34.What can we infer from paragraph 5? A.Habits cannot be noticed easily. B.The amount of time a habit takes varies. C.One should perform a behavior constantly. D.It takes exactly 66 days to form a new habit. 35.What is the best title of the passage? A.Habit—good or not? B.Better habit,better life? C.21days to form a habit? D.Hit or miss with habits? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Unexpected Benefits of Volunteering as a Family Are you looking for a way to bring your family together?Hoping to find a hobby that can be shared by both the little ones and adults?　36　 You may know the “feel-good” emotions that come with helping others,but there are even more unexpected ways volunteering will positively affect the whole family.  ●You’ll feel like you have more time.

Children’s Day celebration was an annual event at school,eagerly anticipated(盼望) by Peter’s classmates.They would arrive with shiny new toys,colorful clothes,and delicious snacks,chatting excitedly about their gifts.Peter,on the other hand,would come to school empty-handed.As he stood quietly in the corner,his heart ached with a deep sense of longing and loneliness,though he never let his parents know.He understood their struggles,but the classmates’displays made him feel left out and,at times,ashamed.Some of the less considerate children did not notice Peter’s feelings and continued to discuss their gifts. Years passing,Peter grew into a hardworking and independent young man.And he was determined to build a better life for himself and his family.He took on various jobs,from delivering groceries to working late nights at a small shop,saving every bit of money he could.Through his efforts,Peter became self-sufficient,able to not only support himself but also contribute to his parents’household.However,he never forgot his desire for things like toys when he was a child. His kind and generous nature led him to volunteer at a local orphanage(孤儿院),a place filled with children who had hardly known the joy of receiving gifts on Children’s Day.Seeing the children’s wide eyes and big smiles as they played with worn-out toys reminded him of his own childhood. 注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Determined to make a difference,Peter started planning a special celebration for the upcoming Children’s Day.           After the celebration,Peter brought out carefully wrapped gifts.           参考答案 附:听力原文 (Text 1) M:My head is aching.I might need to go and see a doctor.

her team did a series of research.”可知,文章主要介绍了21天能否养成习惯。故选C项。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了家庭志愿服务带来的四个意想不到的好处:让家人感觉时间更充裕、促进成年人身体健康、对青少年产生终身积极影响、增加亲子时光。 36.B　此句为过渡句。根据本段首句“Are you looking for a way to bring your family together?”可知,此处所选择的选项需要与家庭共同做事有关系。前文以两个问句引出“家庭共同活动”的需求,后文直接切入 “志愿服务的好处”。B项 “(家庭)志愿服务或许正是你需要的”承上启下,将问题与解决方案衔接。 37.G　 此句为细节句。该段主题为 “你会感觉时间更充裕”,G项 “志愿服务让你获得能力感,并激励你充分利用每一天” 解释了为何奉献时间反而让人产生时间变多的主观感受,与前文 “research has found” 的结论呼应。 38.E　 此句为主旨句。后文提到 “55岁及以上志愿者记忆力更好、总体健康维持更久”,E 项 “对成年人而言,志愿服务能带来显著的身体健康益处” 概括了段落核心,且“adults”与下文研究对象匹配。 39.C　此句为小标题。该段聚焦青少年志愿服务的长期积极影响(如成绩提升、自信增强),C 项 “志愿服务对儿童和青少年有终身影响” 中的 “lifelong effect” 与段落中 “not just short-term” 形成呼应。 40.F　 此句为细节句。前文强调家庭共同志愿服务“朝共同目标努力”,后文提到“每个人带来独特之处并以新的方式建立联系”。F项“你甚至可能发现孩子拥有你以前不知道的天赋”具体说明家庭互动中的意外收获,符合语境。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者如何通过改变对借口的态度,逐渐克服自我阻碍,从而实现个人成长和进步的过程。 41.A　根据上文“Let’s be real—stopping my own excuses has been a long,tough road.”可知,此处指的是上文提到的借口。故选A项。 42.A　根据上文“I had a mental library of these little 　　　that kept me from actually doing what I wanted.”可知,这些借口让作者无法真正做自己想做的事情,也就是说这些借口阻碍了作者的前进。考查短语:hold back,意为“阻碍……”,符合语境。故选A项。  43.A　根据下文“I found myself frustrated,since the weight of my unfulfilled intentions was heavy.I knew something had to 　　　.”可知,作者决定做出改变,此处指让作者决定做出改变的转折点,the turning point,意为“转折点”,符合句意。故选A项。  44.C　根据空前“when I realized that these small things were creating an invisible chain”以及上文提到的这些借口阻碍了作者的前进可推测,空处指的是这些小事变成了无形的锁链使作者无法打破、挣脱。故选C项。 45.D　根据上文“The 　　　point came when I realized that these small things were creating an invisible chain that I couldn’t 　　　.”以及下文作者发生的改变可推测,作者决定做出改变。故选D项。  46.B　根据下文“For example,I’d say,when doing chores,‘You only have to 　　　five shirts,’or ‘Just wash the dishes for five minutes.’　　　,it sounded ridiculously small”可知,作者决定每次只做一点点,从一点点小事开始。故选B项。  47.A　根据空后的“five shirts”以及上文所指的“when doing chores”可推测,空处指的是做家务。由此可知,本空指的是叠衬衫。故选A项。 48.B　根据下文“Then,I learned how to gently call myself out.”中的“Then”以及内容的描述可知,这两段主要讲述了作者开始改变自己做事拖延的习惯,存在一个过程的变化,由此可推测,空处指的是“最初,一开始”。故选B项。 49.C　根据空后“five minutes would often turn into fifteen or even more”可推测,一开始听起来可笑,但是,随着作者的继续,时间变得越来越长。故选C项。 50.B　根据上文内容可知,当作者做家务的时候,先对自己说只做一点点;然后随着时间的流逝,作者做家务的时间越来越长。由此可推测,作者这样的方式会让任务看起来不那么艰巨、费力,从而从心理上更能接受。故选B项。 51.C　根据空后“It’s just an excuse.”可推测,当作者想要说“明天再做”的时候,会自己回应自己说这只是个借口。故选C项。 52.D　根据上文“Then,I learned how to gently call myself out.When I’d start saying ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’,I’d 　　　,‘It’s just an excuse.’”可知,作者从态度上对借口的看法有所改变。故选D项。  53.A　根据上文“Yes,I still have lazy days”可知,作者还是会有想偷懒的时候。再根据上文“When I’d start saying ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’,I’d 　　　,‘It’s just an excuse.’”可知,此时的作者会和借口做斗争,劝服自己不要懒惰拖延,每一次战胜借口的小小斗争,都在增强作者的信心。故选A项。  54.A　根据上文“building my confidence”可推测,空处指的是提升自己做出改变的决心。故选A项。 55.C　根据上文“I started to see the power of taking even the smallest action.”可知,作者认为所有的进步都源自付诸行动。考查短语:take action,意为“采取行动”,符合句意。故选C项。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了考试压力的定义、表现形式以及如何应对考试压力。 56.affecting　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,已有谓语动词could be defined,空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语,anxiety和affect为逻辑上的主谓关系,需用动词-ing形式。故填affecting。 57.academic　考查形容词。修饰名词life,需用形容词academic,作定语。故填academic。 58.what　考查宾语从句。空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少宾语,指物,需用连接代词what引导。故填what。 59.threatened　考查省略句。when引导的时间状语从句和主句的主语一致,可以省略从句的主语和be动词,完整的从句是“When it is threatened”,此处省略了it is,需填过去分词threatened。故填threatened。 60.that　考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,先行词anything,是不定代词,在定语从句中作主语,需用关系代词that引导。故选that。 61.to visit　考查非谓语动词。修饰名词the urge,需用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to visit。 62.generally　考查副词。空处需用副词generally,作状语,修饰整个句子。故填generally。 63.In　考查介词。表示“在(某短时间)内”应用介词in,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填In。 64.management　考查名词。空处需填名词management,作宾语。故填management。 65.being influenced　考查非谓语动词。“avoid doing sth.”为固定搭配,意为“避免做某事”,结合by可知,you和influence为逻辑上的动宾关系,需用动词-ing形式的被动式作宾语。故填being influenced。 写作 第一节 Dear Jack,  I hope this email finds you well.I am excited that we are to work together on a research project during the upcoming holidays. After giving it some thought,I would like to propose a project that explores the influence of idols on the growth of high school students.That’s because idols,ranging from celebrities to common people who inspire them,often serve as role models and can have a profound impact on teenager’s values and behaviors.Our approach would involve surveying peers,analyzing data,and perhaps interviewing educators to gain deeper insights. Would this be something you’re interested in?Please let me know your thoughts at your earliest convenience,as I am eager to embark on this research journey with you.
