Lessons Around the World
①When I was eight, my family started to move with my father’s job to different countries. Every two years, we moved to a new place and started a new life. At first, I felt sad about leaving friends, but each place taught me something special.
②In Japan, I learnt to enjoy simple things. Our small Tokyo apartment had a special shelf with just one flower. My neighbour, Mrs Sato, taught me to find joy in daily activities like making tea. “Joy grows where you care for it,” she said.
③Next, we moved to Kenya. I joined a group to protect animals. Walking in the hot sun to follow elephant tracks (足迹), I saw how easily nature can be harmed. My friend Kiprono, from a local village, said, “We don’t own the land. We keep it safe for future children.”
④Our last home was Brazil. In a poor neighbourhood of Rio, I helped at a school. Children who had almost nothing shared food and smiled. A girl named Maria told me, “Big houses don’t make hearts warm. Small homes can hold big love.”
⑤Now, my memory wall holds three things: a dried flower from Japan, a bracelet (手镯) of the group from Kenya, and a photo of children from Brazil. They remind me that the world is like a puzzle (拼图)—different pieces fit together to make something complete. True life isn’t about staying still but carrying what you learn wherever you go.
5. What did the writer learn from Mrs Sato in Japan?
A. How to help poor children. B. How to learn Japanese quickly.
C. How to protect animals in danger. D. How to find happiness in daily life.
6. How did the writer feel about nature in Kenya?
A. It is exciting to live in nature. B. It is too hard to protect nature.
C. People need to take care of nature. D. Elephants are dangerous in nature.
7. The underlined sentence in Paragraph④ means ________.
A. being kind is better than being rich
B. they want to live in small homes
C. they don’t like big houses
D. people in big houses don’t have love
8. The writing structure (结构) of the text is ________.
A. ①/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①②/③/④⑤
【答案】5. D 6. C 7. A 8. C
【解析】

(C)
How did you spend your last holiday? Did you just watch videos on your phone all day? If so, you’re not alone. Many people spend too much time online.
Think about it—what do we usually do online? For most of us, it’s just watching short videos. These videos may seem fun, but they don’t really help us unwind. In fact, they just make us lazy in thinking. The Oxford Word of the Year, “brain rot (腐化),” best sums up (概括) this problem.
But how did we get here? And what can we do now?
Scrolling (滚动) through these kinds of short videos is like eating snacks (零食). Once we start, it’s hard to stop. It’s an easy way to kill time. Instead of going outside or trying a new hobby, many of us just stay on the sofa, staring (盯着看) at our phones.
However, this “easy fun” comes at a price. The more time we spend online, the less real-life joy we experience. While we are having a “good” time on some popular apps, we miss the wonders of the real world. Over time, we feel like our lives are getting more and more boring.
It’s time to bring back “real fun”. Go outside with your friends or family and enjoy the beauty of nature. Breathe (呼吸) in the fresh air. Walk in the warm sunlight. Listen to birds singing to brighten your day. Just don’t let your screens control your free time and don’t leave your brain “rotting”!
9. How does the writer begin the text?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions.
C. By giving an example. D. By listing some numbers.
10. What does the underlined word “unwind” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Work. B. Practice. C. Relax. D. Understand.
11. Which of the following is an example of “brain rot”?
A. Going outside. B. Trying a new hobby.
C. Eating snacks. D. Watching short videos.
12. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To advise us to avoid “brain rot”. B. To tell us to bring back “easy fun”.
C. To lead us to breathe in the fresh air. D. To encourage us to enjoy our holiday.
【答案】9. B 10. C 11. D 12. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人们在假期过多沉迷于网络,尤其是观看短视频带来的问题,提出了“大脑腐化”这一概念,并建议人们回归“真正的乐趣”,避免让屏幕控制空闲时间。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据“How did you spend your last holiday? Did you just watch videos on your phone all day?”可知,作者通过提问的方式开始文章,故选B。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“These videos may seem fun, but they don’t really help us unwind. In fact, they just make us lazy in thinking.”可知,这些视频看似有趣,却不能真正帮助我们放松,反而让我们思维懒惰;可推测出“unwind”意为“放松”,与“relax”意思相近。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据“For most of us, it’s just watching short videos. These videos may seem fun, but they don’t really help us unwind. In fact, they just make us lazy in thinking. The Oxford Word of the Year, ‘brain rot,’ best sums up this problem.”可知,观看短视频是“大脑腐化”的一个例子,故选D。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“Just don’t let your screens control your free time and don’t leave your brain ‘rotting’!”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是建议我们避免“大脑腐化”,故选A。
(D)
The oldest child syndrome (综合征), sometimes called the firstborn syndrome, is about how being the first child in a family can form a person’s character. Birth order has long been considered a main reason that influences how children grow and change.
Being the first child can sometimes be hard. “The oldest child syndrome is when the first child feels they must do well and be a good example for other children in the family,” says Nicholette Leanza, a therapist (治疗专家).
According to Brandy Smith, a psychologist (心理学家), some common behaviours for the first child include:
· Having a strong sense of responsibility.
· Feeling they must meet people’s expectations, mainly their parents’ expectations.
· Often being drawn to leadership-type roles.
· Usually being described as someone who follows rules and acts nicely.
· Being a hard-working person who always tries his best to succeed.
There are also some advantages of being the oldest child in the family. Studies have shown that firstborn children have an advantage when it comes to learning things around the age of four. Some studies show that firstborn children also have a small advantage when it comes to early reading and writing skills.
“Being the oldest child can also influence how a child grows in feelings and their understanding of who they are,” Leanza says. “For example, they might grow up quicker because they have more jobs to do at home or they might act more like parents because they have to look after their younger brothers and sisters.”
“These can make it hard for the oldest child to find their identity (身份) outside of their role in their family,” Leanza explains. “It’s important for kids to learn to be themselves. And they shouldn’t see themselves only as part of the family.”
13. What is “the oldest child syndrome” mainly about?
A. How firstborn children are different from others.
B. Why firstborn children have more responsibility.
C. Why firstborn children are usually more successful.
D. How a person’s character is shaped by being the oldest child.
14. What does the passage say about the advantages of being the oldest child?
A. They are better at sports.
B. They get better grades in school.
C. They are more popular at school.
D. They learn things better at an early age.
15. Why does Leanza say the oldest child might have trouble finding their identity?
A. Because they have many home responsibilities.
B. Because they are always trying to be perfect.
C. Because they are always told what to do.
D. Because they are often compared to their brothers and sisters.
16. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Tips for Firstborn Children
B. Being the Oldest: Good and Bad
C. The Firstborn Child’s Advantages
D. Growing up Fast: the Firstborn Child’s Journey
【答案】13. D 14. D 15. A 16. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇心理学说明文,主要介绍了“长子/长女综合征”的概念、常见行为特征、作为长子的优势以及可能面临的成长挑战,探讨了出生顺序对性格形成的影响。
【13题详解】
第一段明确指出:“The oldest child syndrome ... is about how being the first child in a family can form a person’s character.” 说明长子综合征主要讲述作为长子如何塑造一个人的性格。
【14题详解】
第四段明确指出:“Studies have shown that firstborn children have an advantage when it comes to learning things around the age of four. ... a small advantage when it comes to early reading and writing skills.” 说明长子的优势在于早期学习能力更强。
【15题详解】
最后一段Leanza解释说:“These can make it hard for the oldest child to find their identity outside of their role in their family.” 这里的“These”指代前一段提到的“more jobs to do at home”和“act more like parents because they have to look after younger siblings”,即家庭责任过多导致难以找到自我身份。
【16题详解】
全文既介绍了长子综合征的行为特征和优势,也提到了可能带来的困难,因此最佳标题为“身为长子:好与坏”。
第二节:阅读短文,从选项中选出最佳选项。(共10分)

阅读短文,然后根据内容回答问题。
Wang Sixuan, a 25-year-old rower (划船手) from Dalian, taught us a great lesson: No gain without pain. Her journey to winning the gold medal at the National Games was full of difficulties, but she turned them into power.
Earlier in 2025, Wang did badly in a national competition and got only 12th place. She felt sad and confused, but she didn’t give up. With her coach’s help, she changed her training methods. She practised rowing skills carefully, balanced her stroke rate (划船频率) and length, and built up her strength. Every day, she worked hard even when she felt tired. This was a painful time, but she kept going.
At the National Games final, Wang faced strong rivals (对手). The 2000-metre race needed both speed and good energy control. She started fast, took the lead in the first 500 metres, and kept a steady pace. When she felt tired, she thought of all her hard training. Finally, she won the gold medal with a great time of 5 minutes and 29.63 seconds.
Wang’s story shows us that challenges are not enemies. They help us grow stronger. When we face difficulties, we learn to be brave and work hard. Just like Wang, pain can make us better. So next time you meet a problem, don’t be afraid.
Remember: Growth always comes from overcoming (克服) challenges.
41. What was Wang Sixuan’s ranking (排名) in a national competition earlier in 2025?
_____________________________________________________
42. How long did it take Wang to win the gold medal in the 2000-metre race?
_____________________________________________________
43. What did Wang Sixuan do to improve herself after she got a bad result in a national competition? (List at least two points.)
_____________________________________________________
44. Do you agree that “Growth always comes from overcoming challenges”? Share an experience or example of your own. (At least 30 words.)
_____________________________________________________
【答案】41. 12th place./She got 12th place.
42. 5 minutes and 29.63 seconds.
43. She changed her training methods, practised rowing skills carefully, and built up her strength. (合理即可)
44. Yes, I agree. For example, when I learned to swim, I was afraid of water at first. I kept trying and practicing every day. After many falls and efforts, I finally learned to swim. This experience taught me that challenges help us grow stronger. (题是开放性试题,答案不唯一。)
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了25岁划船手王思璇从全国比赛第12名到全运会金牌的逆袭经历,说明了“一分耕耘一分收获”和“成长源于克服挑战”的道理。
【41题详解】
第二段第一句直接给出排名:“Earlier in 2025, Wang did badly in a national competition and got only 12th place.” 因此答案为原文直接信息:“12th place.” 或 “She got 12th place.”
【42题详解】
第三段最后一句明确给出金牌成绩:“Finally, she won the gold medal with a great time of 5 minutes and 29.63 seconds.” 因此答案为原文直接信息:“5 minutes and 29.63 seconds.”
【43题详解】
第二段中提到了她改进自己的具体做法:“With her coach’s help, she changed her training methods. She practised rowing skills carefully, balanced her stroke rate and length, and built up her strength.” 从中至少选取两点即可。因此答案为原文信息整合,例如:“She changed her training methods, practised rowing skills carefully, and built up her strength.” 合理即可。
【44题详解】
本题是开放性试题,答案不唯一。要求先表明是否同意“成长总是来自于克服挑战”,然后结合自身经历或例子进行说明,且不少于30词。可结合文中王思璇的例子,也可用自己学习、生活中的经历。例如回答:Yes, I agree. For example, when I learned to swim, I was afraid of water at first. I kept trying and practicing every day. After many falls and efforts, I finally learned to swim. This experience taught me that challenges help us grow stronger. 合理即可。注意务必达到30词以上。

Lessons Around the World
①When I was eight, my family started to move with my father’s job to different countries. Every two years, we moved to a new place and started a new life. At first, I felt sad about leaving friends, but each place taught me something special.
②In Japan, I learnt to enjoy simple things. Our small Tokyo apartment had a special shelf with just one flower. My neighbour, Mrs Sato, taught me to find joy in daily activities like making tea. “Joy grows where you care for it,” she said.
③Next, we moved to Kenya. I joined a group to protect animals. Walking in the hot sun to follow elephant tracks (足迹), I saw how easily nature can be harmed. My friend Kiprono, from a local village, said, “We don’t own the land. We keep it safe for future children.”
④Our last home was Brazil. In a poor neighbourhood of Rio, I helped at a school. Children who had almost nothing shared food and smiled. A girl named Maria told me, “Big houses don’t make hearts warm. Small homes can hold big love.”
⑤Now, my memory wall holds three things: a dried flower from Japan, a bracelet (手镯) of the group from Kenya, and a photo of children from Brazil. They remind me that the world is like a puzzle (拼图)—different pieces fit together to make something complete. True life isn’t about staying still but carrying what you learn wherever you go.
5. What did the writer learn from Mrs Sato in Japan?
A. How to help poor children. B. How to learn Japanese quickly.
C. How to protect animals in danger. D. How to find happiness in daily life.
6. How did the writer feel about nature in Kenya?
A. It is exciting to live in nature. B. It is too hard to protect nature.
C. People need to take care of nature. D. Elephants are dangerous in nature.
7. The underlined sentence in Paragraph④ means ________.
A. being kind is better than being rich
B. they want to live in small homes
C. they don’t like big houses
D. people in big houses don’t have love
8. The writing structure (结构) of the text is ________.
A. ①/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①/②③④/⑤ D. ①②/③/④⑤
(C)
How did you spend your last holiday? Did you just watch videos on your phone all day? If so, you’re not alone. Many people spend too much time online.
Think about it—what do we usually do online? For most of us, it’s just watching short videos. These videos may seem fun, but they don’t really help us unwind. In fact, they just make us lazy in thinking. The Oxford Word of the Year, “brain rot (腐化),” best sums up (概括) this problem.
But how did we get here? And what can we do now?
Scrolling (滚动) through these kinds of short videos is like eating snacks (零食). Once we start, it’s hard to stop. It’s an easy way to kill time. Instead of going outside or trying a new hobby, many of us just stay on the sofa, staring (盯着看) at our phones.
However, this “easy fun” comes at a price. The more time we spend online, the less real-life joy we experience. While we are having a “good” time on some popular apps, we miss the wonders of the real world. Over time, we feel like our lives are getting more and more boring.
It’s time to bring back “real fun”. Go outside with your friends or family and enjoy the beauty of nature. Breathe (呼吸) in the fresh air. Walk in the warm sunlight. Listen to birds singing to brighten your day. Just don’t let your screens control your free time and don’t leave your brain “rotting”!
9. How does the writer begin the text?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions.
C. By giving an example. D. By listing some numbers.
10. What does the underlined word “unwind” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Work. B. Practice. C. Relax. D. Understand.
11. Which of the following is an example of “brain rot”?
A. Going outside. B. Trying a new hobby.
C. Eating snacks. D. Watching short videos.
12. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To advise us to avoid “brain rot”. B. To tell us to bring back “easy fun”.
C. To lead us to breathe in the fresh air. D. To encourage us to enjoy our holiday.
(D)
The oldest child syndrome (综合征), sometimes called the firstborn syndrome, is about how being the first child in a family can form a person’s character. Birth order has long been considered a main reason that influences how children grow and change.
Being the first child can sometimes be hard. “The oldest child syndrome is when the first child feels they must do well and be a good example for other children in the family,” says Nicholette Leanza, a therapist (治疗专家).
According to Brandy Smith, a psychologist (心理学家), some common behaviours for the first child include:
· Having a strong sense of responsibility.
· Feeling they must meet people’s expectations, mainly their parents’ expectations.
· Often being drawn to leadership-type roles.
· Usually being described as someone who follows rules and acts nicely.
· Being a hard-working person who always tries his best to succeed.
There are also some advantages of being the oldest child in the family. Studies have shown that firstborn children have an advantage when it comes to learning things around the age of four. Some studies show that firstborn children also have a small advantage when it comes to early reading and writing skills.
“Being the oldest child can also influence how a child grows in feelings and their understanding of who they are,” Leanza says. “For example, they might grow up quicker because they have more jobs to do at home or they might act more like parents because they have to look after their younger brothers and sisters.”
“These can make it hard for the oldest child to find their identity (身份) outside of their role in their family,” Leanza explains. “It’s important for kids to learn to be themselves. And they shouldn’t see themselves only as part of the family.”
13. What is “the oldest child syndrome” mainly about?
A. How firstborn children are different from others.
B. Why firstborn children have more responsibility.
C. Why firstborn children are usually more successful.
D. How a person’s character is shaped by being the oldest child.
14. What does the passage say about the advantages of being the oldest child?
A. They are better at sports.
B. They get better grades in school.
C. They are more popular at school.
D. They learn things better at an early age.
15. Why does Leanza say the oldest child might have trouble finding their identity?
A. Because they have many home responsibilities.
B. Because they are always trying to be perfect.
C. Because they are always told what to do.
D. Because they are often compared to their brothers and sisters.
16. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Tips for Firstborn Children
B. Being the Oldest: Good and Bad
C. The Firstborn Child’s Advantages
D. Growing up Fast: the Firstborn Child’s Journey

Wang Sixuan, a 25-year-old rower (划船手) from Dalian, taught us a great lesson: No gain without pain. Her journey to winning the gold medal at the National Games was full of difficulties, but she turned them into power.
Earlier in 2025, Wang did badly in a national competition and got only 12th place. She felt sad and confused, but she didn’t give up. With her coach’s help, she changed her training methods. She practised rowing skills carefully, balanced her stroke rate (划船频率) and length, and built up her strength. Every day, she worked hard even when she felt tired. This was a painful time, but she kept going.
At the National Games final, Wang faced strong rivals (对手). The 2000-metre race needed both speed and good energy control. She started fast, took the lead in the first 500 metres, and kept a steady pace. When she felt tired, she thought of all her hard training. Finally, she won the gold medal with a great time of 5 minutes and 29.63 seconds.
Wang’s story shows us that challenges are not enemies. They help us grow stronger. When we face difficulties, we learn to be brave and work hard. Just like Wang, pain can make us better. So next time you meet a problem, don’t be afraid.
Remember: Growth always comes from overcoming (克服) challenges.
41. What was Wang Sixuan’s ranking (排名) in a national competition earlier in 2025?
_____________________________________________________
42. How long did it take Wang to win the gold medal in the 2000-metre race?
_____________________________________________________
43. What did Wang Sixuan do to improve herself after she got a bad result in a national competition? (List at least two points.)
