In my opinion, this trend has both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, fragmented reading saves time and allows us to acquire information quickly. With just a smartphone, we can access diverse knowledge anytime, anywhere. However, the drawbacks are equally obvious. Constant exposure to short, scattered content weakens our ability to focus and think deeply. Personally, I believe fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading. While it satisfies our need for quick information, we should also reserve time for reading books that require sustained attention and reflection. Version 2 My Views on Fragmented Reading Fragmented reading, characterized by scrolling through short videos and brief articles, dominates our daily lives. From my perspective, though convenient, this reading style does more harm than good. Admittedly, fragmented reading offers efficiency, allowing us to grasp news highlights quickly. However, the problems cannot be ignored. Firstly, it fragments our attention span, making it increasingly difficult to concentrate on longer texts. Secondly, the information obtained is often shallow and disconnected, failing to build a systematic knowledge structure. Therefore, my attitude is clear: while we may occasionally benefit from fragmented reading for quick updates, we should prioritize deep reading of complete works. Only by immersing ourselves in books can we truly develop critical thinking and gain profound insights. Let’s not sacrifice depth for speed. 附：主观题评分标准 A．阅读主观题（第67-69题每小题2分，第70题4分，共10分） 67.

Many visitors, especially young people, stop by the museum’s gift shop that offers a variety of products made of or inspired by silk, with some visitors   42   (arrive) dressed in traditional Chinese-style silk costumes. Qian Zhaoyue, who is 43 charge of the museum, says more young people are now interested in silk-based products. For thousands of years, China 44 (recognize) as the first country in the world to raise silkworms. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, Suzhou has served as 45 exceptionally dynamic center for silk supplied to both domestic and overseas markets, 46 subtle yet profound influence on contemporary fashion trends can still be seen today across the nation. The Suzhou Silk Museum now stands on the original site of a silk factory established in 1931. Besides silk costumes from the Song and Ming dynasties, the exhibits also feature Zhang satin (漳缎), an 47 (artistic) distinctive silk fabric that originated in Fujian. The machine for making Zhang satin stretches 8 meters in   48   (long). The museum has also worked with the Confucius Institute 49 (display) selected silk costumes in Venice, expanding its international outreach. “Following the launch of its immersive digital exhibition, the Suzhou Silk Museum has become an even 50 (likely) destination for tech-savvy tourists seeking a blend of tradition and innovation.” says Qian. 三、阅读 第一节（共16小题，每小题2.5分；满分40分） 阅读下列短文并做每篇后面的题目。从四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。 A Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, and time — things we can’t directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors. Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a “war” rather than a “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas, suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate new ideas, and as a behavioral consequence, people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and if cared for, will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor, the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and effort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don’t realize it. Who’d have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our metaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our metaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices, conscious or not, can be constructive or destructive. 51. What does the study find about metaphors? A. They may cause some misunderstanding. B. They help clarify abstract concepts. C. They can influence people’s minds and behavior. D. They make language more poetic and vivid. 52. Why is the example of “lightbulb metaphor” quoted in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate the influence of metaphors. B. To raise some doubt about metaphors. C. To illustrate poetic functions of metaphors. D. To highlight improper use of metaphors. 53. How does the “seed metaphor” differ from the “lightbulb metaphor”? A. It suggests consistent efforts of individuals. B. It simplifies the process of generating new ideas. C. It arouses people’s awareness of their creativity. D. It attaches great significance to natural talent. 54. What is author’s attitude towards the use of metaphors? A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Positive. D. Ambiguous. B Normally I pass my morning commute (通勤) absorbed in a book, headphones on. I miss a lot of what’s going on around me, but my reading hours are so limited and my “Books Read in2025” list is so embarrassingly short that I give up presence to get a couple of chapters in. On a recent day, however, I kept my book in my bag and made a game of looking at the people around me and imagining what their voices sound like. This game isn’t really fun, as games go, but it keeps me occupied, noticing, engaged with the world rather than ignoring it. In his poem “Everything Is Waiting for You,” David Whyte addresses the fundamental error of assuming separateness from everything and everyone else. “As if life were a progressive and cunning crime with no witness to the tiny hidden transgressions (越界).” He advises the reader to become alert. “You must note the way the soap dish enables you, or the window latch grants you freedom.” The ordinary items around us are animate in his reading of the world. And not only that — they’re likely to look on us favorably, to enable us, free us. My retreat (躲避) into books while on the train is only partly about getting reading done. It’s also about shutting out distraction, because I think that whatever is happening around me is disturbing, at the very least extraneous to my central purpose, which is getting from A to B. Sitting and just being in space with strangers, instead of retreating into a book or a phone, sometimes requires a mental shift. Who and what else is here? What if these noise-canceling headphones are keeping me from hearing the actually quite charming voices of the people beside me? If I want to feel more connected to other people, then what’s protective isn’t always productive. Or, as Whyte instructs, “Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the conversation.” 55. Why does the author usually bury herself in a book during her commute? A. To observe strangers secretly. B. To make the commute feel shorter. C. To catch up on reading. D. To improve her public image. 56. What does David Whyte seem to think of the world in his poem? A. A place where we make mistakes. B. A stage where we perform alone. C. A presence that supports us. D. A test that challenges us. 57. What does the underlined word “extraneous” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Irrelevant. B. Essential. C. Unusual. D. Dangerous. 58. What does the author encourage readers to do? A. Listen to inner thoughts and reflect on them. B. Put down the headphones and tune in to other. C. Keep to yourself and avoid small talk. D. Escape into books and block out noises. C It would be difficult to overemphasize the importance of cooperation, not only because it was fundamental to the success of our species through evolution, but because it is fundamental to the success of almost all modern social interactions and relationships. Let’s start by defining what cooperation actually means. Although definitions vary, cooperation has been defined as working or acting together for mutual benefit. It requires two or more people to act in the best interest of their collective rather than acting for selfish benefit. During task-related communication, cooperation can be expressed in terms of proposing a fair distribution of resources or equal outcomes. If we consider the dangerous environments that our ancestors grew up in, where around every corner was a potential predator (捕食者), it’s no surprise that cooperation was encouraged. Having strong social relationships provided a helping hand when sick or injured, and helped gather food as well as warnings about what to avoid eating. As a result, modern humans are hard-wired to find cooperation rewarding. Researchers have demonstrated that cooperating with others is associated with increased reward-related activity in the brain compared to engaging in non-cooperative exchanges, even when the physical rewards obtained from such exchange remain the same. Evidently, it is in our nature to want to cooperate, and this is why our relationships thrive when we do. When we consider the needs of others and put the goals of the collective above the desire for selfish gain during decision making, we lay the groundwork for a strong trusting relationship to be built. But it’s not just in our personal lives that cooperation allows us to thrive, the same goes for our professional lives. In business, when we work collaboratively with others, be it at an individual level (between employees) or an industry level (between organizations), the shared resources and shared ideas enable innovation to flourish. It is exactly this cooperative approach of “two heads are better than one” that is at the heart of project success throughout academia and the private sector. 59. Which statement best defines cooperation according to paragraph 2? A. Associating with each other in an equal way. B. Working individually for personal gains. C. Acting together for common interests. D. Building strong relationships within a team. 60. Why does the author mention dangerous environments in human history? A. To explain the link between cooperation and reward. B. To highlight the role of cooperation in human survival. C. To illustrate the research of reward-related brain activity. D. To show the cooperative ability of our ancestors. 61. How does cooperation contribute to success in professional settings? A. It enables individuals to satisfy their desire. B. It promotes innovations by sharing ideas and resources. C. It creates profit opportunities for organizations. D. It ensures fair competition among employees. 62. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Cooperation strengthens personal relationships. B. Cooperation is a vital factor for professional success. C. Cooperation leads to the boost of business. D. Cooperation is a key driver of human development.

For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well. I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of “cool”. I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did. As we organized teams, prepared resources, and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think. 67. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 1? 68. What did the family move bring to the author? 69. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? 70. What is your example of “cool”? Please explain why. 四、写作 第一节 概要写作（10分） 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 The Sounds of Relaxation In a fast-paced world, where stress and mental fatigue seem commonplace, we’re constantly looking for new ways to unwind. Some people take a hot bath, watch a film, go for a run, or listen to slower tempo music to help them relax. But what about the chirrups (小鸟唧唧叫) and whistles of birdsong or other nature sounds? Could they also help people to let go of the tensions of modern life? According to a study by King’s College London in 2022, seeing or hearing birds could help to boost the mental wellbeing of people. Taking a trip to a place rich in birdlife like parks, forests and canals and encountering birds chirping and warbling to each other in the trees could even help to treat some mental health conditions. And it’s not just birds that could have a therapeutic effect on our moods. Another study commissioned by the National Trust compared the effects of woodland sounds with voiced meditation apps. The study found listening to birdsong as well as other woodland sounds like leaves crunching underfoot or the gentle trickle of a stream boosted feelings of relaxation 30% more than an app. Other sounds which may help to chill people out are waves lapping on the shore, gentle breezes, and light rainfall. However, not all of us live in rural surroundings, and depending on where we live, a trip to the countryside to see birds may not be an option. But could the nature sounds that originate there still help you? According to research by California Polytechnic State University, even a recording of the sounds of birds had a profound effect on people’s mood, while other studies saw people listening to soundscapes (声景) of the coast and forests with similar outcomes to their wellbeing. So, wherever you live, you can access the wonderful sounds of birds and nature, be it during a stroll through a wood or via some headphones.
