If you spend any significant part of your day streaming music, 2025 may have left you rethinking those listening habits. These habits have become increasingly boring, passionless, and mechanical since music streaming took off. But positive changes are on the horizon, especially as young people rediscover their love for physical music. If you’re looking to diversify your music-listening habits in the new year, here’s a list of streaming platforms that you should check out.
Vintage Obscura Radio
This one is for the true music lovers and collectors. An extension of the Vintage Obscura forum, this platform shines a light on the records collecting dust in the back of someone’s closet. It features no music from the 21st century and no tracks with more than 30,000 views on YouTube. You can tune into the livestream, and you can also see what songs have played recently.
Radiooooo
This Paris-based website and app uses a similar layout to Radio Garden. Users can explore a virtual globe, tuning into music from different parts of the world. Users can submit music to Radiooooo for inclusion in the mix (曲库), with preference given to tracks from underrepresented regions or time periods.
Radio Alhara
Broadcasting from Bethlehem since 2020, Radio Alhara features a stylish and simple layout (布局). Inspired by their background in architecture, Yousef and Elias Anastas co-founded the online radio station with the intention of sharing music between friends. Since then, Radio Alhara has transformed into an international platform, amplifying music and culture from the region, as well as local journalism, civil rights issues, and messages of political resistance.
21. What has made listening to music more boring?
A. The daily routine of listening to music B. The widespread adoption of music streaming
C. The growing popularity of physical music D. The mechanical nature of modern life
22. What is the most distinctive feature of Radiooooo?
A. It originated in Paris, France.
B. It has a stylish and simple layout.
C. It allows users to contribute to its library.
D. Its library excludes underrepresented music.
23. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A music textbook. B. A travel guidebook. C. A lifestyle magazine. D. A scientific report.
B
As a kid, my identity was wrapped up in sports. I spent countless hours shooting hoops on my driveway, only to get cut from the middle school basketball team — all three years in a row.
I spent a decade playing soccer, but I didn’t make the high school team. At that point, I shifted my focus to a new sport: diving. I was bad. I could hardly touch my toes without bending my knees, and I was afraid of heights. But I was determined. I stayed at the pool until it was dark, and my coach had to kick me out to go home. I believed that greatness is built in the daily grind, and eventually, my hard work paid off. By my senior year, I made the All-American list and qualified for the Junior Olympic Nationals. I was obsessed with diving. It was more than something I did — it became who I was.
But when I got to college, the sport I loved became something I started to fear. At that level, hard work alone was no longer enough to outshine the more naturally talented divers. There was one question, though, that stopped me from rethinking: “If I’m not a diver, who am I?” In psychology, there’s a term for this kind of failure to rethink — it’s called “identity closure”. It’s when you settle too early on a sense of who you are and close your mind to alternative selves.
After my freshman year of college, I rethought my identity. I realized that diving was a passion, not a purpose. My values were to grow and excel. I didn’t have to be a diver to grow, excel, and contribute. Instead of foreclosing on one identity, we’re better off trying on a range of possible selves. Retiring from diving freed up my summer for psychology research and coaching young divers. It also gave me time to concentrate on my silliest hobby: performing as a magician.
Ever since then, I’ve put an annual reminder in my calendar to rethink. It’s a checkup. Just as I go to the doctor for an annual checkup when nothing seems wrong, I now do the same for the important parts of my life: a career checkup to consider how my goals are shifting, and a relationship checkup to re-examine my habits. Just as I’d never skip a physical, I no longer skip these.
24. What primarily motivated the author to persist through his early struggles in diving?
A. His coach’s pressure to work harder.
B. His natural talent for the sport.
C. His pure enjoyment of diving itself.
D. His sense of identity tied to diving.
25. After the freshman year of college, the author decided to ______.
A. embrace more possible selves B. outwork more talented divers
C. give up diving-related things D. shift his focus to a new sport
26. According to the author, the retirement from diving was ______.
A. thrilling B. distracting C. regrettable D. worthwhile
27. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Regular self-reflection enables personal growth.
D. Our value doesn’t lie in what we do, but who we are.
C
In an age when digital assistants complete our sentences before we fully form them, it’s easy to assume that printed dictionaries have become relics of a pre-digital age. Yet they remain essential, because no tool better reminds us that language is not simply corrected — it is crafted.
Before spell-check and AI, students and writers turned to dictionaries not only to check meanings but also to explore usage examples and word histories. A student drafting an essay, for instance, might look up “charge” and discover it can mean “accuse”, “rush forward,” or “fill with energy”. Choosing among these possibilities required thought, and that process often shaped the writer’s ideas. An AI assistant, by contrast, may simply replace the word with the most common option, leaving little room for personal intention.
Dictionaries have also played a guiding role in English. Johnson’s and Webster’s dictionaries, widely used by schools and publishers, helped establish spelling and meaning at a time when regional dialects differed sharply. Even today, when dictionary makers update entries to reflect new expressions such as “ghosting” or “finsta”, they rely on everyday speakers for evidence. This back-and-forth — public use influencing dictionaries, dictionaries influencing public use — keeps language both flexible and shared.
But this balance is weakening. As online communication takes over daily life, formal English ebbs. As a result, casual abbreviations (缩写), emojis, and speech-like sentences now appear in emails and even workplace reports. For many young people, writing “Sounds good!!” reads as more confident than a polished, formal sentence. The shift is understandable, yet it raises a question: If algorithms (算法) increasingly finish our sentences, do we still learn how to shape them ourselves?
AI writing tools offer clean, quick suggestions, but they rely on fixed patterns. As George Orwell once warned, such ready-made phrasing can “think our thoughts” for us. When writers accept every suggestion, originality slowly disappears. Dictionaries, by contrast, push us to explore options and make deliberate choices.
Our ability to express ourselves shapes who we are. Losing the dictionary would mean losing not only a reference book, but a way of thinking — one that keeps language creative, thoughtful, and deeply human.
28. What does the example of “charge” show?
A. Dictionaries provide detailed word origin information.
B. AI assistants are more efficient than printed dictionaries.
C. Printed dictionaries help users gain deeper insight into words.
D. Students struggle to choose the right meaning of certain words.
29. What does the underlined word “ebbs” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. declines. B. arises. C. improves. D. stabilizes.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. No convenience comes without a cost.
B. AI tools contribute much to creative works.
C. Dictionaries provide more fixed word choices than AI tools.
D. George Orwell encouraged the use of existing writing patterns.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The History of English Dictionaries
B. AI Assistants Threaten Language Creativity
C. The Necessity of Formal English in Digital Age
D. Printed Dictionaries Are Still Essential in Digital Times
D
A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct nasal (鼻的) breathing pattern — a unique “fingerprint” that reveals clues about physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences in breathing patterns between individuals with mild depression and those without depression.”
The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation, and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us? To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!”
Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood.
However, the current device has drawbacks: the soft tubes placed under the nose can be uncomfortable and may slip during sleep; additionally, it does not track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications.
32. Why is breathing “fingerprint” mentioned?
A. To explain how the brain processes smell.
B. To introduce a newly-invented tracking device.
C. To show a link between breathing and depression.
D. To stress the uniqueness of personal breathing pattern.
33. What can we infer about the relationship between breathing and mood?
A. Changes in breath cure anxiety. B. Their exact relationship remains unclear.
C. Anxiety always causes abnormal breathing. D. Breathing is responsible for negative mood.
34. What is a limitation of the current wearable device?
A. It cannot track nasal airflow for 24 hours straight.
B. It is too heavy to be worn during daily activities.
C. It fails to monitor breathing through the mouth.
D. It can only be used to test healthy young adults.
35. What is the main finding of this research?
A. Our fingerprints tell a lot about our health.
B. Breathing patterns link to identity and health.
C. A groundbreaking device reveals mental health.
D. Anxiety levels link to shorter inhalation periods.
第二节(共 5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Be positive!” has become a popular mindset in recent years. ____36____ But what happens when we take positivity to an extreme? Could being blindly optimistic lead to disappointment? While looking on the bright side is generally seen as a virtue, new research suggests that “toxic positivity” might actually harm our mental health.
Toxic positivity occurs when people deny their real emotions and force themselves to stay optimistic. Gitanjali Trevorrow-Seymour, a professional coach, explains that humans are naturally meant to experience a wide range of emotions, from joy and gratitude to sadness and disappointment. “None of these emotions is meant to be constant,” she says. ____37____ Like many things in life, mental wellbeing is all about balance.
The danger lies in labeling feelings as “good” or “bad.” When we desperately avoid “negative” emotions, we end up suppressing our real feelings. This suppression places extra stress on the body, which can eventually lead to anxiety or even physical illness. ____38____ If we only show our “happy” selves, our social interactions can become shallow and inauthentic.
____39____ When a friend is going through hard times, responding with “Try to be positive!” may be well-intentioned, but it often dismisses their feelings. Instead of feeling comforted, they may feel forced to put on a brave face, which is mentally exhausting. True support involves acknowledging their pain rather than attempting to “fix” it immediately.
So, should we avoid positive affirmations entirely? Not necessarily. ____40____ The key is to accept all our emotions — sadness, anger, and grief — instead of treating them as problems to be solved. Only by embracing the full human experience can we truly achieve mental health.
A. This issue also affects how we support others.
B. Friends can greatly influence our attitudes towards life.
C. Even those with a bright outlook can feel grief and gloom.
D. They can be useful tools if they feel genuine and grounded.
E. What truly remains constant is a positive mindset and inner peace.
F. Moreover, forced positivity often robs us of deep connections with others.
G. Everyone strives to see the glass as half full and find the rainbow in every situation.

Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
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。
To her horror, the basket was empty.

He is famous for using street garbage to create stunning animal sculptures. His works are considered “trash art”. In 2017, the Irish Film Board released a short documentary film based on his life entitled Bordalo II: A Life of Waste. Bordalo studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon for 8 years, but ultimately failed to finish the course. Deeply influenced by his grandfather, Bordalo started spray-painting walls in the streets at the age of 11. He then chose the stage name Bordalo II in honor of his grandfather. Bordalo’s work is focused on the themes of ecology, waste, and recycling. Now, let’s welcome Artur Bordalo to tell us more about his project.

A
If you spend any significant part of your day streaming music, 2025 may have left you rethinking those listening habits. These habits have become increasingly boring, passionless, and mechanical since music streaming took off. But positive changes are on the horizon, especially as young people rediscover their love for physical music. If you’re looking to diversify your music-listening habits in the new year, here’s a list of streaming platforms that you should check out.
Vintage Obscura Radio
This one is for the true music lovers and collectors. An extension of the Vintage Obscura forum, this platform shines a light on the records collecting dust in the back of someone’s closet. It features no music from the 21st century and no tracks with more than 30,000 views on YouTube. You can tune into the livestream, and you can also see what songs have played recently.
Radiooooo
This Paris-based website and app uses a similar layout to Radio Garden. Users can explore a virtual globe, tuning into music from different parts of the world. Users can submit music to Radiooooo for inclusion in the mix (曲库), with preference given to tracks from underrepresented regions or time periods.
Radio Alhara
Broadcasting from Bethlehem since 2020, Radio Alhara features a stylish and simple layout (布局). Inspired by their background in architecture, Yousef and Elias Anastas co-founded the online radio station with the intention of sharing music between friends. Since then, Radio Alhara has transformed into an international platform, amplifying music and culture from the region, as well as local journalism, civil rights issues, and messages of political resistance.
21. What has made listening to music more boring?
A. The daily routine of listening to music B. The widespread adoption of music streaming
C. The growing popularity of physical music D. The mechanical nature of modern life
22. What is the most distinctive feature of Radiooooo?
A. It originated in Paris, France.
B. It has a stylish and simple layout.
C. It allows users to contribute to its library.
D. Its library excludes underrepresented music.
23. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A music textbook. B. A travel guidebook. C. A lifestyle magazine. D. A scientific report.
【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C
【解析】

B
As a kid, my identity was wrapped up in sports. I spent countless hours shooting hoops on my driveway, only to get cut from the middle school basketball team — all three years in a row.
I spent a decade playing soccer, but I didn’t make the high school team. At that point, I shifted my focus to a new sport: diving. I was bad. I could hardly touch my toes without bending my knees, and I was afraid of heights. But I was determined. I stayed at the pool until it was dark, and my coach had to kick me out to go home. I believed that greatness is built in the daily grind, and eventually, my hard work paid off. By my senior year, I made the All-American list and qualified for the Junior Olympic Nationals. I was obsessed with diving. It was more than something I did — it became who I was.
But when I got to college, the sport I loved became something I started to fear. At that level, hard work alone was no longer enough to outshine the more naturally talented divers. There was one question, though, that stopped me from rethinking: “If I’m not a diver, who am I?” In psychology, there’s a term for this kind of failure to rethink — it’s called “identity closure”. It’s when you settle too early on a sense of who you are and close your mind to alternative selves.
After my freshman year of college, I rethought my identity. I realized that diving was a passion, not a purpose. My values were to grow and excel. I didn’t have to be a diver to grow, excel, and contribute. Instead of foreclosing on one identity, we’re better off trying on a range of possible selves. Retiring from diving freed up my summer for psychology research and coaching young divers. It also gave me time to concentrate on my silliest hobby: performing as a magician.
Ever since then, I’ve put an annual reminder in my calendar to rethink. It’s a checkup. Just as I go to the doctor for an annual checkup when nothing seems wrong, I now do the same for the important parts of my life: a career checkup to consider how my goals are shifting, and a relationship checkup to re-examine my habits. Just as I’d never skip a physical, I no longer skip these.
24. What primarily motivated the author to persist through his early struggles in diving?
A. His coach’s pressure to work harder.
B. His natural talent for the sport.
C. His pure enjoyment of diving itself.
D. His sense of identity tied to diving.
25. After the freshman year of college, the author decided to ______.
A. embrace more possible selves B. outwork more talented divers
C. give up diving-related things D. shift his focus to a new sport
26. According to the author, the retirement from diving was ______.
A. thrilling B. distracting C. regrettable D. worthwhile
27. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Regular self-reflection enables personal growth.
D. Our value doesn’t lie in what we do, but who we are.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述作者早年将自我认同寄托于跳水运动,通过努力取得一定成绩,后打破单一身份束缚,在自我反思中实现成长的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I believed that greatness is built in the daily grind, and eventually, my hard work paid off. (我坚信伟大源于日常的点滴积累,而我的努力最终也得到了回报。) ”以及“It was more than something I did — it became who I was. ( 这早已不只是我做的一件事——它已然成为我自身的一部分。)” 可知,作者坚持跳水的核心动力,是这份运动与自身身份的深度绑定,跳水早已超越 “一项运动” 的意义,成为他自我认同的重要组成部分,因此他才会坚持克服困难、刻苦练习。故D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“After my freshman year of college, I rethought my identity. I realized that diving was a passion, not a purpose. My values were to grow and excel. I didn’t have to be a diver to grow, excel, and contribute. Instead of foreclosing on one identity, we’re better off trying on a range of possible selves. (在大学一年级结束后,我重新审视了自己的身份。我意识到跳水是一种热爱,而非目标。我的价值观是成长和卓越。我无需成为跳水运动员才能实现这些目标并做出贡献。与其过早定格某一种身份,我们不如尝试多种可能的自我形象。)” 可知,作者决定打破单一身份的束缚,尝试更多可能,不再将自我价值局限于跳水这一项运动。故选 A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Retiring from diving freed up my summer for psychology research and coaching young divers. It also gave me time to concentrate on my silliest hobby: performing as a magician. (从跳水运动中退役,让我的夏天有时间进行心理学研究和指导年轻跳水运动员。这也让我有时间专注于我最愚蠢的爱好:表演魔术。)” 可知,放弃跳水并非遗憾,反而让作者有机会接触更多领域,获得新的成长,因此这份选择是有意义、有价值的。故选 D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者从最初将自我价值绑定在跳水运动上,到打破局限、尝试多元可能,再到养成定期反思的习惯,核心都是“自我反思促进成长”,因此定期的自我审视和反思,才是推动作者不断成长、明确自我价值的关键。故选C。
C
In an age when digital assistants complete our sentences before we fully form them, it’s easy to assume that printed dictionaries have become relics of a pre-digital age. Yet they remain essential, because no tool better reminds us that language is not simply corrected — it is crafted.
Before spell-check and AI, students and writers turned to dictionaries not only to check meanings but also to explore usage examples and word histories. A student drafting an essay, for instance, might look up “charge” and discover it can mean “accuse”, “rush forward,” or “fill with energy”. Choosing among these possibilities required thought, and that process often shaped the writer’s ideas. An AI assistant, by contrast, may simply replace the word with the most common option, leaving little room for personal intention.
Dictionaries have also played a guiding role in English. Johnson’s and Webster’s dictionaries, widely used by schools and publishers, helped establish spelling and meaning at a time when regional dialects differed sharply. Even today, when dictionary makers update entries to reflect new expressions such as “ghosting” or “finsta”, they rely on everyday speakers for evidence. This back-and-forth — public use influencing dictionaries, dictionaries influencing public use — keeps language both flexible and shared.
But this balance is weakening. As online communication takes over daily life, formal English ebbs. As a result, casual abbreviations (缩写), emojis, and speech-like sentences now appear in emails and even workplace reports. For many young people, writing “Sounds good!!” reads as more confident than a polished, formal sentence. The shift is understandable, yet it raises a question: If algorithms (算法) increasingly finish our sentences, do we still learn how to shape them ourselves?
AI writing tools offer clean, quick suggestions, but they rely on fixed patterns. As George Orwell once warned, such ready-made phrasing can “think our thoughts” for us. When writers accept every suggestion, originality slowly disappears. Dictionaries, by contrast, push us to explore options and make deliberate choices.
Our ability to express ourselves shapes who we are. Losing the dictionary would mean losing not only a reference book, but a way of thinking — one that keeps language creative, thoughtful, and deeply human.
28. What does the example of “charge” show?
A. Dictionaries provide detailed word origin information.
B. AI assistants are more efficient than printed dictionaries.
C. Printed dictionaries help users gain deeper insight into words.
D. Students struggle to choose the right meaning of certain words.
29. What does the underlined word “ebbs” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. declines. B. arises. C. improves. D. stabilizes.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. No convenience comes without a cost.
B. AI tools contribute much to creative works.
C. Dictionaries provide more fixed word choices than AI tools.
D. George Orwell encouraged the use of existing writing patterns.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The History of English Dictionaries
B. AI Assistants Threaten Language Creativity
C. The Necessity of Formal English in Digital Age
D. Printed Dictionaries Are Still Essential in Digital Times
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在数字时代AI普及的背景下,纸质词典依然不可或缺,它能帮助人们深度思考用词、保持语言创造性与人文性。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的A student drafting an essay, for instance, might look up “charge” and discover it can mean “accuse”, “rush forward,” or “fill with energy”. Choosing among these possibilities required thought, and that process often shaped the writer’s ideas.(例如,一个正在起草文章的学生可能会查找“charge”这个词,并发现它可以表示“指控”,“向前冲”或“充满能量”。在这些可能性中做出选择需要思考,而这个过程往往会塑造作者的想法)可知,纸质词典能帮助使用者更深入地理解单词。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中画线词ebbs后面的句子“As a result, casual abbreviations, emojis, and speech-like sentences now appear in emails and even workplace reports.(因此,随意的缩写、表情符号和口语化句子出现在邮件甚至工作报告中)”可知,这是对画线词的解释,可推断画线词含有“衰退”之意,与declines意思相近。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“AI writing tools offer clean, quick suggestions, but they rely on fixed patterns… When writers accept every suggestion, originality slowly disappears.(AI写作工具提供简洁快速的建议,但依赖固定模式;作者全盘接受会慢慢失去原创性)”可知,AI带来便利的同时也付出了失去创造力的代价,即“没有一种便利是不需要付出代价的”。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。首段中的“Yet they remain essential, because no tool better reminds us that language is not simply corrected — it is crafted.(然而,它们仍然至关重要,因为没有任何工具能比它们更好地提醒我们,语言并非仅仅是被修正的——它是被精心雕琢的)”是主旨句,they指代前句中的“printed dictionaries(纸质词典)”,后文围绕纸质词典在数字时代依然必不可少展开论述,D项表示“纸质词典在数字时代依然必不可少”,与文章主旨相吻合,可作为本文标题。故选D。
D
A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct nasal (鼻的) breathing pattern — a unique “fingerprint” that reveals clues about physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences in breathing patterns between individuals with mild depression and those without depression.”
The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation, and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us? To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!”
Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood.
However, the current device has drawbacks: the soft tubes placed under the nose can be uncomfortable and may slip during sleep; additionally, it does not track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications.
32. Why is breathing “fingerprint” mentioned?
A. To explain how the brain processes smell.
B. To introduce a newly-invented tracking device.
C. To show a link between breathing and depression.
D. To stress the uniqueness of personal breathing pattern.
33. What can we infer about the relationship between breathing and mood?
A. Changes in breath cure anxiety. B. Their exact relationship remains unclear.
C. Anxiety always causes abnormal breathing. D. Breathing is responsible for negative mood.
34. What is a limitation of the current wearable device?
A. It cannot track nasal airflow for 24 hours straight.
B. It is too heavy to be worn during daily activities.
C. It fails to monitor breathing through the mouth.
D. It can only be used to test healthy young adults.
35. What is the main finding of this research?
A. Our fingerprints tell a lot about our health.
B. Breathing patterns link to identity and health.
C. A groundbreaking device reveals mental health.
D. Anxiety levels link to shorter inhalation periods.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了一项新研究发现,核心是呼吸模式与身心健康的关联。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct nasal breathing pattern—a unique “fingerprint” that reveals clues about physical and mental health.(以色列魏茨曼科学研究所的科学家发现,每个人都有独特的鼻腔呼吸模式 —— 一种独特的“指纹”,能揭示身心健康线索)”可知,提及呼吸“指纹”是为了强调个人呼吸模式的独特性。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Importantly, the researchers noted that they only know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they don’t know the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety.(重要的是,研究人员指出,他们目前只知道呼吸与情绪之间存在关联,但还不清楚其因果关系的方向——是感到焦虑导致呼吸发生变化,还是某种呼吸模式引发了焦虑)”可知,呼吸与情绪的具体因果关系尚不明确。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“However, the current device has limitations: it cannot track mouth breathing, and the soft tubes under the nose may slip during sleep.(然而,当前设备存在局限性:无法追踪用嘴呼吸的情况,鼻子下的软管在睡眠时可能会滑落)”可知,当前设备的局限是无法监测用嘴呼吸且软管易滑落。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct nasal breathing pattern—a unique “fingerprint” that reveals clues about physical and mental health.(以色列魏茨曼科学研究所的科学家发现,每个人都有独特的鼻腔呼吸模式 —— 一种独特的“指纹”,能揭示身心健康线索)”可知,这项研究的主要发现是呼吸模式与身心健康的关联。故选B。
第二节(共 5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Be positive!” has become a popular mindset in recent years. ____36____ But what happens when we take positivity to an extreme? Could being blindly optimistic lead to disappointment? While looking on the bright side is generally seen as a virtue, new research suggests that “toxic positivity” might actually harm our mental health.
Toxic positivity occurs when people deny their real emotions and force themselves to stay optimistic. Gitanjali Trevorrow-Seymour, a professional coach, explains that humans are naturally meant to experience a wide range of emotions, from joy and gratitude to sadness and disappointment. “None of these emotions is meant to be constant,” she says. ____37____ Like many things in life, mental wellbeing is all about balance.
The danger lies in labeling feelings as “good” or “bad.” When we desperately avoid “negative” emotions, we end up suppressing our real feelings. This suppression places extra stress on the body, which can eventually lead to anxiety or even physical illness. ____38____ If we only show our “happy” selves, our social interactions can become shallow and inauthentic.
____39____ When a friend is going through hard times, responding with “Try to be positive!” may be well-intentioned, but it often dismisses their feelings. Instead of feeling comforted, they may feel forced to put on a brave face, which is mentally exhausting. True support involves acknowledging their pain rather than attempting to “fix” it immediately.
So, should we avoid positive affirmations entirely? Not necessarily. ____40____ The key is to accept all our emotions — sadness, anger, and grief — instead of treating them as problems to be solved. Only by embracing the full human experience can we truly achieve mental health.
A. This issue also affects how we support others.
B. Friends can greatly influence our attitudes towards life.
C. Even those with a bright outlook can feel grief and gloom.
D. They can be useful tools if they feel genuine and grounded.
E. What truly remains constant is a positive mindset and inner peace.
F. Moreover, forced positivity often robs us of deep connections with others.
G. Everyone strives to see the glass as half full and find the rainbow in every situation.
【答案】36. G 37. C 38. F 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了“有毒的积极心态”这一概念,指出盲目乐观可能对心理健康有害,强调要接受所有情绪,而非一味追求积极。
【36题详解】
上文““Be positive!” has become a popular mindset in recent years.(“要积极!”近年来已成为一种流行的心态。)”描述了近年来积极心态的流行;下文“But what happens when we take positivity to an extreme?(但是,当我们把积极心态推向极端时会发生什么呢?)”提出了一个关于积极心态极端化的疑问。由此可知,本空应描述一种普遍的积极心态,且与下文形成转折关系,即虽然积极心态普遍,但极端化可能有问题。选项G“每个人都努力看到杯子是半满的,并在每种情况下都找到彩虹”描述了人们普遍追求积极心态的情景,与上文相符,且为下文提出的问题做了铺垫。故选G。
【37题详解】
上文“None of these emotions is meant to be constant.(这些情绪中没有一种是恒定不变的。)”指出情绪是不断变化的;下文“Like many things in life, mental wellbeing is all about balance.(就像生活中的许多事情一样,心理健康关乎平衡。)”强调了心理健康的平衡性。由此可知,本空应描述情绪变化或平衡的相关内容,且与上文提到的情绪变化相呼应。选项C“即使是那些有着乐观前景的人也会感到悲伤和忧郁”描述了即使乐观的人也会有负面情绪,与上文提到的情绪变化相符,且为下文强调的平衡性做了铺垫。故选C。
【38题详解】
上文“This suppression places extra stress on the body, which can eventually lead to anxiety or even physical illness.(这种压抑会给身体带来额外的压力,最终可能导致焦虑甚至身体疾病。)”描述了压抑情绪对身体的不良影响;下文“If we only show our “happy” selves, our social interactions can become shallow and inauthentic.(如果我们只展示自己“快乐”的一面,我们的社交互动就会变得肤浅和不真实。)”描述了强迫积极心态对社交互动的不良影响。由此可知,本空应描述强迫积极心态的其他不良影响,且与上文提到的身体影响和下文提到的社交影响相呼应。选项F“此外,强迫的积极心态往往会剥夺我们与他人之间的深厚联系”描述了强迫积极心态对人际关系的不良影响。故选F。
【39题详解】
下文“When a friend is going through hard times, responding with “Try to be positive!” may be well-intentioned, but it often dismisses their feelings.(当朋友经历困难时期时,用“试着积极点!”来回应可能是出于好意,但这往往忽视了他们的感受。)”描述了用积极心态回应朋友困难时的不足。由此可知,本空应描述与支持他人或回应他人困难相关的内容,且为下文的具体例子做铺垫。选项A“这个问题也影响我们如何支持他人”提出了一个问题,即如何支持他人,与下文描述的回应朋友困难时的不足相呼应。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“So, should we avoid positive affirmations entirely? Not necessarily.(那么,我们应该完全避免积极的肯定吗?不一定。)”提出了一个关于是否应完全避免积极肯定的问题,并给出了否定的回答;下文“The key is to accept all our emotions — sadness, anger, and grief — instead of treating them as problems to be solved.(关键是要接受我们所有的情绪——悲伤、愤怒和悲伤——而不是把它们当作需要解决的问题来对待。)”强调了接受所有情绪的重要性。由此可知,本空应描述积极肯定的作用或条件,且与上下文提到的接受情绪和避免极端化相呼应。选项D“如果它们是真诚和有根据的,它们可以是有用的工具”描述了积极肯定在真诚和有根据的情况下可以是有用的工具。故选D。

【答案】【范文】
Don’t Be Afraid to Get Your Feet Wet
The saying “Don’t be afraid to get your feet wet if you want to learn how to swim” carries a simple yet profound message: learning requires stepping out of our comfort zone. It tells us that progress comes only from facing the unknown.
I once dared not join the English debate team for fear of making mistakes. I just listened silently but made no progress. Later, I plucked up my courage to take part. I stammered at first, but fear soon disappeared. I gained far more than before.
From this experience, I learned that we cannot master a skill from a safe distance. Only by daring to fail can we truly begin to learn and grow.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered (抛撒) seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow (麻雀) shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt.” Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown (皱眉) softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip’s name.
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。
To her horror, the basket was empty.

At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
To her horror, the basket was empty. Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name. Tears welled up in her eyes as she imagined the worst, fearing that Pip might have been blown away by the storm or hurt by the falling branches. She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He held the sparrow gently in his hands, his expression a mix of concern and embarrassment. “I found him hiding under my porch,” he said, his voice softer than usual. “The storm was too strong for him.” Jane rushed over, tears of relief streaming down her face as she took Pip back. She looked up at Mr. Thompson, her eyes shining with gratitude. “Thank you.” she whispered, her heart overflowing with joy and newfound respect for her neighbor.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Jane与邻居Mr. Thompson围绕鸟类的矛盾冲突为线索展开。Jane对鸟类满怀热爱,不仅每日在院子抛撒种子与鸟儿互动,还悉心救助了一只受伤的麻雀Pip。然而,邻居Mr. Thompson却对鸟儿极为厌烦,觉得它们吵闹且把院子弄得杂乱不堪。一次,Jane因外出遭遇暴风雨,回家后发现安置Pip的篮子空了,她顿时心急如焚,害怕Pip遭遇不测。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“令她惊恐的是,篮子是空的。”可知,第一段可着重描写Jane发现篮子空了之后,内心极度惊恐,进而在院子里疯狂寻找Pip,脑海中不断浮现各种Pip可能遭遇不幸的可怕场景。
②由第二段首句内容“这时,汤普森先生带着Pip出现了。”可知,第二段可描写汤普森先生讲述找到Pip的过程,Jane对汤普森先生表达感激之情,同时她对汤普森先生的看法也发生了转变。
2. 续写线索: Jane发现篮子空了——内心焦急、流泪寻找——担忧Pip遭遇危险——Mr. Thompson带着Pip出现——Mr. Thompson说明救助经过——Jane欣慰落泪、道谢——邻里关系缓和
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
①颤抖:tremble/shiver
②涌出:well up/spring up
③浏览:scan/look through
情绪类
①恐惧:fear/dread
②宽慰:relief/comfort
【点睛】【高分句型1】Jane’s heart sank as she frantically searched the yard, her voice trembling with fear as she called Pip’s name.(运用了两个as引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构)
【高分句型2】She knelt down, scanning the ground for any sign of the little sparrow, her hands shaking as she picked up twigs and leaves.(运用了现在分词作状语、独立主格结构以及as引导的时间状语从句)
