In 1975, five-year-old Jeff, in a wheelchair, asked his parents if he could meet Fred Rogers of the Neighborhood rather than going to Disneyland. It was the family’s own version of “Make-A-Wish,” proposed on the eve of Jeff’s major spinal (脊椎的) surgery. Jeff said Mr. Rogers told him that he was special and that he was just fine the way he was, and it gave him confidence and made him feel good.
Jeff’s parents wrote a letter to the television star about the boy’s desire to meet him, and they got a handwritten answer that led to a breakfast meeting at a hotel. Later they continued to correspond; Rogers wrote to say how glad he was that Jeff’s surgery had gone well. Then in 1980, Rogers decided he wanted to have a child in a wheelchair on his show for a theme week on all things mechanical. He remembered Jeff and insisted it had to be Jeff.
On the Neighborhood, Rogers asked Jeff straightforwardly about the mechanics of his wheelchair, and how he wound up in it. Producer Margy Whitmer recalled Jeff’s appearance on the show: “It was one of the most impressive moments... Here’s this child who has multiple disabilities, and Fred said, ‘Talk to me about that wheelchair. Talk to me about what’s wrong with you.’ And this extraordinary kid talked about his medical condition (resulting from spinal tumor) in a matter-of-fact way. Fred presented it to kids watching the show, as ‘this is just the way he is.’”
This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult. “We don’t fudge things,” he said once when asked about the sources of the show’s popularity. “People long to be in touch with honesty.”
Jeff and Rogers didn’t meet again until 1999, when Rogers was being honored with a place in the Television Hall of Fame. When Jeff rolled onstage to surprise him, Rogers ran up to the stage and hugged him as if they were the only two people in the auditorium. “On behalf of millions of children and grown-ups,” said Jeff, “It’s you I like.”
There wasn’t a dry eye in the well-dressed house.
4. What inspired Jeff to meet Fred Rogers?
A. His eagerness to seek praise. B. His need for Rogers’s advice.
C. His worries about his surgery. D. His fondness for Rogers’s show.
5. What do Rogers’s words to Jeff on the show illustrate?
A. His desire to impress the audience. B. His effort to make people feel special.
C. His openness in discussing children’s disability. D. His concern about the child’s medical condition.
6. What does the underlined word “fudge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Avoid. B. Challenge. C. Mess up. D. Comment on.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Excellent Neighbor B. The Power of Acceptance
C. The Value of Friendship D. A Special Wheelchair Boy
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了弗雷德·罗杰斯通过真诚接纳,给予残疾男孩杰夫信心,展现接受的力量的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“In 1975, five-year-old Jeff, in a wheelchair, asked his parents if he could meet Fred Rogers of the Neighborhood rather than going to Disneyland. It was the family’s own version of “Make-A-Wish,” proposed on the eve of Jeff’s major spinal (脊椎的) surgery. Jeff said Mr. Rogers told him that he was special and that he was just fine the way he was, and it gave him confidence and made him feel good.(1975年,五岁的杰夫常年依靠轮椅生活。他向父母提出,自己不想去迪士尼乐园,而是想见《罗杰斯先生的邻居》节目的主持人弗雷德・罗杰斯。这场心愿,是杰夫一家专属的“许愿行动”,提出时,杰夫即将接受一场重大的脊椎手术。杰夫回忆,罗杰斯先生告诉他,他独一无二、本身的样子就很好。这番话给予了他莫大的自信,让他内心倍感温暖。)”可知,是杰夫对罗杰斯节目的喜爱促使他想见罗杰斯。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“On the Neighborhood, Rogers asked Jeff straightforwardly about the mechanics of his wheelchair, and how he wound up in it. Producer Margy Whitmer recalled Jeff’s appearance on the show: “It was one of the most impressive moments... Here’s this child who has multiple disabilities, and Fred said, ‘Talk to me about that wheelchair. Talk to me about what’s wrong with you.’ And this extraordinary kid talked about his medical condition (resulting from spinal tumor) in a matter-of-fact way. Fred presented it to kids watching the show, as ‘this is just the way he is.’”(在《罗杰斯先生的邻居》节目录制现场,罗杰斯坦然地询问了杰夫轮椅的构造,以及他为何需要依靠轮椅生活。节目制片人玛吉・惠特默回忆起这次录制:“那是最令人动容的瞬间之一。这个身患多种残疾的孩子,在弗雷德的引导下,平静地讲述自己的状况。弗雷德坦然地向所有观众传递一个观念:这就是他原本的样子,无需避讳。”)”以及第四段中“This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult.(这正是弗雷德・罗杰斯的人生理念:全然接纳。无论话题多么沉重艰难,他都愿意在节目中坦诚探讨。)”可知,罗杰斯在节目中对杰夫说的话说明了他对讨论儿童残疾问题的开放态度。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult. “We don’t fudge things,” he said once when asked about the sources of the show’s popularity. “People long to be in touch with honesty.”(这正是弗雷德・罗杰斯的人生理念:全然接纳。无论话题多么沉重艰难,他都愿意在节目中坦诚探讨。曾有人问及节目长盛不衰的秘诀,他这样说道:“我们从不fudge现实、敷衍事实。所有人,都渴望真诚与坦荡。”)”可知,罗杰斯不会回避任何话题,人们渴望诚实,由此可推知,fudge意为“回避”。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是结合第四段中“This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult.(这正是弗雷德・罗杰斯的人生理念:全然接纳。无论话题多么沉重艰难,他都愿意在节目中坦诚探讨。)”可知,文章主要讲述了弗雷德·罗杰斯完全接受他人的理念,通过与杰夫的互动,展示了接受的力量,这种力量能够给予人们信心和勇气,帮助他们面对生活中的挑战和困难。因此,B选项“接受的力量”最符合文章主旨。故选B。
C
Imagine scrolling (滚屏)through social media late at night and suddenly seeing photos of your friends having fun without you. You may begin to wonder why you were not invited or what you did wrong. Soon, feelings of sadness or disappointment appear. This experience is commonly known as FOMO, or the fear of missing out. It is the anxiety and unease about how others might be having more rewarding experiences than you are.
FOMO can be a passing thought that enters your mind after seeing something you wish you were a part of — a video of a concert, for example, or a picture of a graduation party. Or it can appear as an urge to check your phone for messages and updates. You might sit alone, feeling envious about how much fun others are having as you scroll through your feed, only to later realize how much time has passed you by.
This fear can affect your behavior by creating a cycle of unhealthy habits that worsen your emotional well-being. Maybe you end up agreeing to every invitation that comes your way out of fear that you’ll miss out on some magical moments, thus overcommitting yourself to events and feeling exhausted. If you’re constantly checking your phone, you’ll have a harder time focusing on tasks in front of you and may end up making more mistakes. Also, being glued to your phone late at night can make it harder to fall asleep and harm your physical and mental well-being.
If it feels like FOMO and social media have taken over your life, know that there are ways to regain control. It starts with developing a better understanding of yourself, including your feelings, motives, and values. Then, you can cut down on worry by developing mindfulness, managing anxiety, and limiting your social media usage. Besides, building self-respect and establishing genuine relationships will allow you to better appreciate your own experiences.
While you experience FOMO, the things you’re “missing out on” might be right in front of you. You can pull yourself back to the present moment, appreciate what’s happening in your life, and build a better sense of well-being.
8. Why does the text begin with a situation related to social media?
A. To present a typical social activity.
B. To criticize a common online habit.
C. To explain the impact of social media.
D. To introduce a psychological concept.
9. What can be inferred about FOMO according to paragraph 2?
A. It lasts only for a short time. B. It shows up in different ways.
C. It decreases work efficiency. D. It weakens one’s ties with friends.
10. Which can be a behavioral impact of FOMO according to the text?
A. Calling friends for help late at night. B. Giving a like to a friend’s social post.
C. Attending all available social activities. D. Handling multiple tasks at the same time.
11. What does the author think of FOMO?
A. Harmful but manageable. B. Common but overlooked.
C. Interrupting but educational. D. Underestimated but avoidable.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍“错失恐惧症(FOMO)”的定义、表现形式、对行为的影响以及应对方法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Imagine scrolling (滚屏)through social media late at night and suddenly seeing photos of your friends having fun without you. You may begin to wonder why you were not invited or what you did wrong. Soon, feelings of sadness or disappointment appear. This experience is commonly known as FOMO, or the fear of missing out. (想象一下,深夜刷社交媒体时,突然看到朋友们没带你一起玩乐的照片。你可能会开始纳闷自己为什么没被邀请,或是自己做错了什么。很快,悲伤或失望的情绪便会涌上心头。这种体验通常被称为FOMO,也就是错失恐惧症)”可知,文章以社交媒体相关场景开篇,是为了引出“错失恐惧症(FOMO)”这一心理概念。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“FOMO can be a passing thought that enters your mind after seeing something you wish you were a part of — a video of a concert, for example, or a picture of a graduation party. Or it can appear as an urge to check your phone for messages and updates. (错失恐惧症可能是一种转瞬即逝的念头,在你看到自己渴望参与其中的事情后涌上心头 —— 比如一场演唱会的视频,或是一张毕业派对的照片。又或者,它会表现为一种想要查看手机信息和最新动态的冲动)”可知,错失恐惧症会以不同的方式出现。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Maybe you end up agreeing to every invitation that comes your way out of fear that you’ll miss out on some magical moments, thus overcommitting yourself to events and feeling exhausted.(也许你会因为害怕错过一些神奇的时刻而同意所有到来的邀请,从而过度投入到活动中,感到疲惫不堪)”可知,错失恐惧症的一个行为影响是参加所有可参与的社交活动。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This fear can affect your behavior by creating a cycle of unhealthy habits that worsen your emotional well-being.(这种恐惧会通过形成不健康的习惯循环来影响你的行为,从而恶化你的情绪健康)”和第四段中的“If it feels like FOMO and social media have taken over your life, know that there are ways to regain control.(如果感觉错失恐惧症和社交媒体已经占据了你的生活,要知道有办法重新获得控制)”可推断,作者认为错失恐惧症是有害但可控制的。故选A项。
D
If time outdoors in nature were a pill you could take, the label would read “take as needed”. A dose (剂量) of nature, whether it’s a short walk or a weeklong camping trip, reliably improves human well-being. But a new study found that the relationship between indoor nature and well-being is more complex.
Past research has confirmed that indoor nature, including potted plants and natural materials, reduces stress and increases feelings of restoration and belonging. But these studies either test people’s response to nature versus no nature or use subjective levels of greenery, such as small, medium, and large amounts of plants. “There’s a huge body of literature, but we can’t refer to it because no one’s using the same methods,” explained Eva Bianchi, a Stanford PhD graduate.
Bianchi’s team developed software called the Nature View Potential tool, which precisely calculates how much nature you see from a given point in a room. Using this tool along with 3D modeling, the researchers designed 11 virtual conference rooms with varying levels of nature views. They then assigned 412 participants randomly to these digital offices and measured their stress and restoration levels before and after completing challenging tasks under pressure.
A greenery dose of about 20% — meaning plants are visible about 20% of the time as one looks around — had the strongest response in restoration and sense of belonging for participants, the researchers found. However, when greenery increased to 60%, stress levels rose.
Plus, the study highlighted the significance of connection to nature. If participants reported an increased feeling of connection to nature, they harvested more well-being benefits. But without that connection, the greenery had little effect on them. “You don’t just put a bunch of nature inside the space,” said Bianchi. “You make sure that it will successfully make the occupants feel connected.”
Bianchi’s team are also looking closer at what nature means to individuals and how that might vary. The ultimate goal is to find ways for people to maintain the restorative qualities of nature even amid increasing urbanization. “How do you get the feeling of nature indoors?” she said. “That’s why it’s so important to have some kind of standard... so we can compare across studies and make progress faster.”
12. What was the main limitation of previous studies on indoor nature?
A. They used insufficient samples. B. They drew misleading conclusions.
C. They used wrong research procedures. D. They lacked a consistent measurement.
13. Why did the team assign the participants to virtual rooms?
A. To protect the participants’ privacy. B. To simplify the research procedure.
C. To examine the participants’ responses. D. To minimize the participants’ mental stress.
14. What is one implication of the study’s findings?
A. Getting greenery levels right.
B. Keeping nature views maximal.
C. Ensuring the diversity of indoor plants.
D. Filling rooms with indoor-friendly plants.
15. What does the last paragraph emphasize about the current research?
A. The potential applications. B. The anticipated difficulties.
C. The achievement of the goal. D. The significance of standards.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了室内自然与人类福祉关系的新研究及发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““There’s a huge body of literature, but we can’t refer to it because no one’s using the same methods,” explained Eva Bianchi, a Stanford PhD graduate.(斯坦福大学博士毕业生伊娃・比安奇解释道:“相关研究文献数量庞大,却无法相互参考借鉴,因为所有人的研究方法都不统一。”)”可知,以往研究的主要局限是缺乏统一的衡量标准。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Using this tool along with 3D modeling, the researchers designed 11 virtual conference rooms with varying levels of nature views. They then assigned 412 participants randomly to these digital offices and measured their stress and restoration levels before and after completing challenging tasks under pressure.(研究人员结合这款软件与三维建模,设计出11 间自然视野占比各不相同的虚拟会议室。随后,他们将412名参与者随机分配至这些虚拟办公空间,让大家在高压环境下完成高强度任务,并分别检测任务前后的压力水平与身心恢复状态。)”可知,研究团队将参与者分配到虚拟房间是为了检查参与者的反应。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“A greenery dose of about 20%-meaning plants are visible about 20% of the time as one looks around–had the strongest response in restoration and sense of belonging for participants, the researchers found. However, when greenery increased to 60%, stress levels rose.(研究人员发现,大约20%的绿色剂量——即一个人环顾四周时,大约20%的时间能看到植物——对参与者的恢复和归属感有最强的反应。然而,当绿色增加到60%时,压力水平上升。)”可知,研究结果表明,绿色植物的量要适中,要把控好室内绿植的合理占比。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That’s why it’s so important to have some kind of standard... so we can compare across studies and make progress faster(这就是为什么有一些标准是如此重要……这样我们就可以跨研究进行比较,更快地取得进展。)”可知,最后一段强调了当前研究中标准的重要性。故选D。
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。
Running behind my home is a 2-meter-wide and 80-meter-long stoned alleyway (小巷). A couple of neighbors and I tried to clear the fly-tipped (非法倾倒) chairs, fridges, and bin bags. The next thing I knew, we were building raised beds, buying organic fertilizer and planting food and flowers.
Although everyone involved has different preferences about what and how to grow, we don’t separate our plots. ____16____ We ask people to tend to the alley in whatever way they can. This gives everyone ownership of the space, whether they’re permanent residents or short-time renters.
To get our community involved, one person knocked on doors to let everyone know about the plan, and to ask if they’d be willing to help. ____17____ Eventually, we all started meeting each other and seeing how much each of us was able to achieve. I created an online chat group so we could communicate easily and organize days when we could all garden together.
It hasn’t always been smooth sailing. There has been willful damage and theft, although it doesn’t happen often. ____18____ Consequently, there’s certainly less fly-tipping and antisocial behavior than before.
Warm summer afternoons when we all come out to tidy, garden, or socialize fill me with happiness. ____19____ This atmosphere really demonstrates how community gardens can change neighborhoods for the better.
____20____ Now that fly-tipping is a rare occurrence, we focus on growing food for insects and people. In the summer, we now have bees, butterflies, moths, and more. We’ve even seen a fox walking along the street. This fills me with pride because it shows our work really benefits our entire area and everyone-and everything-in it.
A. Still, we try to solve these issues together.
B. Every one of us was amazed at our own hard work.
C. The community has learned a lot from the cooperation.
D. We grow plants together to bring the community closer.
E. And these gatherings usually turn into an evening hang out.
F. The biggest achievement has been seeing an increase in biodiversity.
G. In the meantime, we individually worked on little bits of the alleyway.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. E 20. F

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sweat poured down Mark’s face. He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent.
Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted.
Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path.
Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family.
Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family.
As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door.
“So…?” his father asked.
“The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.”

A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.” The smiles on his parents’ faces froze instantly. “What do you mean?” his father asked in surprise. Taking a deep breath, Mark explained that his true passion was cheerleading although he was good at basketball. The room fell silent. His parents exchanged confused looks, struggling to understand. Mark felt his heart pounding but continued, saying he had been training for months. Just when the tension seemed unbearable, his mother finally spoke gently, “If this is what you really love, you deserve a chance — and we’ll always stand by you.” His father hesitated, then nodded slowly.
A week later, it was time for the cheerleader audition. Standing on the field, Mark felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Remembering the countless hours of practice, he pushed aside his doubts and focused on every move. When the music started, he jumped, turned and lifted with confidence. His strength and determination impressed the judges and the crowd. When the results were announced, Mark heard his name among those selected. At that moment, he spotted his parents in the stands, clapping proudly. He realized that by following his heart, he had finally stepped out of his brother’s shadow and started his own journey.

In 1975, five-year-old Jeff, in a wheelchair, asked his parents if he could meet Fred Rogers of the Neighborhood rather than going to Disneyland. It was the family’s own version of “Make-A-Wish,” proposed on the eve of Jeff’s major spinal (脊椎的) surgery. Jeff said Mr. Rogers told him that he was special and that he was just fine the way he was, and it gave him confidence and made him feel good.
Jeff’s parents wrote a letter to the television star about the boy’s desire to meet him, and they got a handwritten answer that led to a breakfast meeting at a hotel. Later they continued to correspond; Rogers wrote to say how glad he was that Jeff’s surgery had gone well. Then in 1980, Rogers decided he wanted to have a child in a wheelchair on his show for a theme week on all things mechanical. He remembered Jeff and insisted it had to be Jeff.
On the Neighborhood, Rogers asked Jeff straightforwardly about the mechanics of his wheelchair, and how he wound up in it. Producer Margy Whitmer recalled Jeff’s appearance on the show: “It was one of the most impressive moments... Here’s this child who has multiple disabilities, and Fred said, ‘Talk to me about that wheelchair. Talk to me about what’s wrong with you.’ And this extraordinary kid talked about his medical condition (resulting from spinal tumor) in a matter-of-fact way. Fred presented it to kids watching the show, as ‘this is just the way he is.’”
This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers’s complete acceptance: There was no topic he wouldn’t address on air, no matter how difficult. “We don’t fudge things,” he said once when asked about the sources of the show’s popularity. “People long to be in touch with honesty.”
Jeff and Rogers didn’t meet again until 1999, when Rogers was being honored with a place in the Television Hall of Fame. When Jeff rolled onstage to surprise him, Rogers ran up to the stage and hugged him as if they were the only two people in the auditorium. “On behalf of millions of children and grown-ups,” said Jeff, “It’s you I like.”
There wasn’t a dry eye in the well-dressed house.
4. What inspired Jeff to meet Fred Rogers?
A. His eagerness to seek praise. B. His need for Rogers’s advice.
C. His worries about his surgery. D. His fondness for Rogers’s show.
5. What do Rogers’s words to Jeff on the show illustrate?
A. His desire to impress the audience. B. His effort to make people feel special.
C. His openness in discussing children’s disability. D. His concern about the child’s medical condition.
6. What does the underlined word “fudge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Avoid. B. Challenge. C. Mess up. D. Comment on.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Excellent Neighbor B. The Power of Acceptance
C. The Value of Friendship D. A Special Wheelchair Boy

Imagine scrolling (滚屏)through social media late at night and suddenly seeing photos of your friends having fun without you. You may begin to wonder why you were not invited or what you did wrong. Soon, feelings of sadness or disappointment appear. This experience is commonly known as FOMO, or the fear of missing out. It is the anxiety and unease about how others might be having more rewarding experiences than you are.
FOMO can be a passing thought that enters your mind after seeing something you wish you were a part of — a video of a concert, for example, or a picture of a graduation party. Or it can appear as an urge to check your phone for messages and updates. You might sit alone, feeling envious about how much fun others are having as you scroll through your feed, only to later realize how much time has passed you by.
This fear can affect your behavior by creating a cycle of unhealthy habits that worsen your emotional well-being. Maybe you end up agreeing to every invitation that comes your way out of fear that you’ll miss out on some magical moments, thus overcommitting yourself to events and feeling exhausted. If you’re constantly checking your phone, you’ll have a harder time focusing on tasks in front of you and may end up making more mistakes. Also, being glued to your phone late at night can make it harder to fall asleep and harm your physical and mental well-being.
If it feels like FOMO and social media have taken over your life, know that there are ways to regain control. It starts with developing a better understanding of yourself, including your feelings, motives, and values. Then, you can cut down on worry by developing mindfulness, managing anxiety, and limiting your social media usage. Besides, building self-respect and establishing genuine relationships will allow you to better appreciate your own experiences.
While you experience FOMO, the things you’re “missing out on” might be right in front of you. You can pull yourself back to the present moment, appreciate what’s happening in your life, and build a better sense of well-being.
8. Why does the text begin with a situation related to social media?
A. To present a typical social activity.
B. To criticize a common online habit.
C. To explain the impact of social media.
D. To introduce a psychological concept.
9. What can be inferred about FOMO according to paragraph 2?
A. It lasts only for a short time. B. It shows up in different ways.
C. It decreases work efficiency. D. It weakens one’s ties with friends.
10. Which can be a behavioral impact of FOMO according to the text?
A. Calling friends for help late at night. B. Giving a like to a friend’s social post.
C. Attending all available social activities. D. Handling multiple tasks at the same time.
11. What does the author think of FOMO?
A. Harmful but manageable. B. Common but overlooked.
C. Interrupting but educational. D. Underestimated but avoidable.

If time outdoors in nature were a pill you could take, the label would read “take as needed”. A dose (剂量) of nature, whether it’s a short walk or a weeklong camping trip, reliably improves human well-being. But a new study found that the relationship between indoor nature and well-being is more complex.
Past research has confirmed that indoor nature, including potted plants and natural materials, reduces stress and increases feelings of restoration and belonging. But these studies either test people’s response to nature versus no nature or use subjective levels of greenery, such as small, medium, and large amounts of plants. “There’s a huge body of literature, but we can’t refer to it because no one’s using the same methods,” explained Eva Bianchi, a Stanford PhD graduate.
Bianchi’s team developed software called the Nature View Potential tool, which precisely calculates how much nature you see from a given point in a room. Using this tool along with 3D modeling, the researchers designed 11 virtual conference rooms with varying levels of nature views. They then assigned 412 participants randomly to these digital offices and measured their stress and restoration levels before and after completing challenging tasks under pressure.
A greenery dose of about 20% — meaning plants are visible about 20% of the time as one looks around — had the strongest response in restoration and sense of belonging for participants, the researchers found. However, when greenery increased to 60%, stress levels rose.
Plus, the study highlighted the significance of connection to nature. If participants reported an increased feeling of connection to nature, they harvested more well-being benefits. But without that connection, the greenery had little effect on them. “You don’t just put a bunch of nature inside the space,” said Bianchi. “You make sure that it will successfully make the occupants feel connected.”
Bianchi’s team are also looking closer at what nature means to individuals and how that might vary. The ultimate goal is to find ways for people to maintain the restorative qualities of nature even amid increasing urbanization. “How do you get the feeling of nature indoors?” she said. “That’s why it’s so important to have some kind of standard... so we can compare across studies and make progress faster.”
12. What was the main limitation of previous studies on indoor nature?
A. They used insufficient samples. B. They drew misleading conclusions.
C. They used wrong research procedures. D. They lacked a consistent measurement.
13. Why did the team assign the participants to virtual rooms?
A. To protect the participants’ privacy. B. To simplify the research procedure.
C. To examine the participants’ responses. D. To minimize the participants’ mental stress.
14. What is one implication of the study’s findings?
A. Getting greenery levels right.
B. Keeping nature views maximal.
C. Ensuring the diversity of indoor plants.
D. Filling rooms with indoor-friendly plants.
15. What does the last paragraph emphasize about the current research?
A. The potential applications. B. The anticipated difficulties.
C. The achievement of the goal. D. The significance of standards.

Running behind my home is a 2-meter-wide and 80-meter-long stoned alleyway (小巷). A couple of neighbors and I tried to clear the fly-tipped (非法倾倒) chairs, fridges, and bin bags. The next thing I knew, we were building raised beds, buying organic fertilizer and planting food and flowers.
Although everyone involved has different preferences about what and how to grow, we don’t separate our plots. ____16____ We ask people to tend to the alley in whatever way they can. This gives everyone ownership of the space, whether they’re permanent residents or short-time renters.
To get our community involved, one person knocked on doors to let everyone know about the plan, and to ask if they’d be willing to help. ____17____ Eventually, we all started meeting each other and seeing how much each of us was able to achieve. I created an online chat group so we could communicate easily and organize days when we could all garden together.
It hasn’t always been smooth sailing. There has been willful damage and theft, although it doesn’t happen often. ____18____ Consequently, there’s certainly less fly-tipping and antisocial behavior than before.
Warm summer afternoons when we all come out to tidy, garden, or socialize fill me with happiness. ____19____ This atmosphere really demonstrates how community gardens can change neighborhoods for the better.
____20____ Now that fly-tipping is a rare occurrence, we focus on growing food for insects and people. In the summer, we now have bees, butterflies, moths, and more. We’ve even seen a fox walking along the street. This fills me with pride because it shows our work really benefits our entire area and everyone-and everything-in it.
A. Still, we try to solve these issues together.
B. Every one of us was amazed at our own hard work.
C. The community has learned a lot from the cooperation.
D. We grow plants together to bring the community closer.
E. And these gatherings usually turn into an evening hang out.
F. The biggest achievement has been seeing an increase in biodiversity.
G. In the meantime, we individually worked on little bits of the alleyway.

I can’t remember his name or which celebrity he was painting, I do remember thinking his painting looked ____24____ but he was still adding tiny touches to it. He said it was tinker time. I ____25____ wrote down those two words in my notebook.
Tinker time, I think, is what we do when writing, or what we should do. I finish a short story. I leave it until the next day and ____26____ it again to edit and do some ____27____. That’s the main part over with.
The following day I take another look at the ____28____. I check all my punctuation and spellings. I read each sentence ____29____, and out loud. Reading aloud makes such a difference. It’s easier to spot ____30____ that way.
A few days later I ____31____ the story and I guess this is when I spend some tinker time on it. It seems fully done but, if I tinker a little more, could I ____32____ it? This is when I might decide a word could be ____33____. For instance, is fear the word I want or would terror be more powerful? ____34____, there is nearly always a little something that can be improved on, just like those final tiny touches in the ____35____.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sweat poured down Mark’s face. He had just finished trying out for Oakwood High School’s basketball team, and he knew making it to the team was a pretty sure thing. After all, he wasn’t just good — he was excellent.
Basketball ran in the family — his older brother Reggie was now playing at a top college, and Mark was expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps. But Mark had a secret: his heart was in another sport.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mark jumped on a bus heading home. Through the window, his eyes were drawn to the field where cheerleaders (啦啦队)danced effortlessly. He couldn’t look away. For months now, cheerleading had been on his mind. Reaching into his bookbag, he pulled out a poster: CHEERLEADER AUDITIONS (选拔). This was what he really wanted.
Mark knew pursuing cheerleading wouldn’t just be a physical challenge. His family had poured so much hope into his basketball future. But he was tired of living in his brother’s shadow. He was ready to carve his own path.
Six months ago, Mark once told his best friend Darren about his dream. “Cheerleading is girly,” Darren said. “You’re so good at basketball. Why throw that away?” Mark stood his ground. “This is where I want to put my strength,” he insisted. Over time, Darren began to understand and support him. Still, Mark kept his passion hidden from his family.
Secretly, Mark trained with two cheerleaders. Cheerleading didn’t come naturally — every move demanded more than basketball ever had. But month by month, he improved. Maybe, just maybe, he stood a chance of making it to the cheerleading team. But right now, after his basketball tryout, he had to face his family.
As soon as Mark arrived home, his parents were at the door.
“So…?” his father asked.
“The tryout? It went well.” Mark replied, staring at his feet. Everyone in the family was smiling…except Mark. Still, he knew what had to be done.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Gathering courage, Mark announced, “I don’t want to play basketball anymore.”
