Oregon forests were the playground of my childhood, and our house there had a wide wraparound porch that started from the front door and finally extended the entire length of the back of the house. That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods.
This was, I think, the beginning of my fascination with the front porch. If a house is a place where we learn to create a home, then a front porch is an in-between space, a borderland that lets us keep some things at arm’s length, while inviting other things close, a place that is at once public and private.
I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life.
However, when did the front porch begin to disappear? When did we retreat inside, each confined to our own spaces, with no care for what was happening outside our front doors? It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected.
When I investigate community care and mutual aid, I am surprised by the types of actions that are suggested for those looking to build stronger communities. An incomplete list: get to know your neighbors, socialize with those who live nearby, share childcare duties, teach one another new skills.
You see, we’ve always known how to do this work. It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch.
4. What was the porch like in the author’s childhood memories?
A. A family-only reunion spot. B. A quiet corner for reading stories.
C. A lively center of social activities. D. An occasion-specific party place.
5. Why does the author mention her grandmother and neighbors in paragraph 3?
A. To recall previous porch-events. B. To show porch activities as daily life.
C. To highlight the porch’s decline. D. To stress the close family relationship.
6. What led to the disappearance of front porches?
A. A link to weaker community ties. B. A reflection of improved lifestyles.
C. A result of limited housing space. D. A shift toward indoor entertainment.
7. What message does the passage convey?
A. The unavoidable decline of face-to-face interactions.
B. The necessity of formal events for neighborhood ties.
C. The insignificance of porches in modern community building.
D. The power of simple daily acts in fostering community bonds.
C
In the era of the internet, AI, smart homes and autonomous cars, there’s one thing we just can’t stop producing data. We are expected to generate 394 trillion zettabytes of the stuff every year by 2028, according to the analyst company IDC. Every time we watch a YouTube video, send an email, or ask an AI chatbot a question — data is created. Although data seems invisible, it is processed and housed in physical places — data centers, for which demand is now proving unsatisfiable.
The problem of storing this rapidly growing data has inspired novel solutions. One such approach is “memory crystals,” developed by Peter Kazansky, a researcher from Kyoto University. By burning tiny perforations into the glass, data can be encoded in five dimensions, using differences in light orientation, strength, and spatial position (individual 3D pixels with x, y, z coordinates). This method allows for extremely high density, with up to 360 TB stored on a 5-inch glass disk.
Another promising solution is DNA storage, first proposed by Soviet physicist Mikhail Samoilovich Neiman. In this method, digital data is mapped onto DNA’s four bases (A, T, C, and G), represented as 01, 00, 11, and 10, creating a physical form of data. A favorite line among DNA data storage researchers is that “you could store all of the data in the world in a teaspoon.” But its practical application still faces hurdles, especially in terms of cost and data access efficiency.
Heinis, a professor in data management at Imperial College London, says: “Kazansky’s ‘memory crystals’ is a direct competitor to DNA storage. But DNA might have an edge for we will always be able to read DNA, due to its wide-ranging medical applications. With other technologies, like ‘memory crystals’, the question is how long the read device will be around.”
Of course, solving the long-term data storage problem is an important part of the solution to energy-guzzling data centers. But do we really need all the data that we produce?
8. What problem does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. The rapid growth of global data production.
B. The rising demand for automated equipment.
C. The efficiency of data-processing technologies.
D. The challenge of storing the ever-growing data.
9. What gives memory crystals their high data density?
A. Heat-resistant glass. B. Computer-controlled drilling.
C. High-intensity light. D. Multi-dimensional encoding.
10. What can be inferred from Heinis’s words?
A. DNA storage has stronger reliability.
B. DNA storage keeps larger data storage capacity.
C. DNA storage owns a wider range of application.
D. DNA storage will soon replace memory crystals.
11. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Reduce data center noise. B. Cut data centers’ energy use.
C. Stop over-storage of data. D. Upgrade storage technology.
D
Let’s say we have Person A, B, and C. They don’t know each other, but all are friends with Person D who is highly sociable — sincere, yet so flooded with dates. D makes you feel like the center of attention one moment, and unintentionally disposable the next, because you know, they have a lot going on.
Here’s the plot twist: A, B, and C all see themselves as the least socially connected. Why? They only compare themselves to the highly-visible D. Greater visibility doesn’t necessarily reflect what’s typical or average. This is the Friendship Paradox, observed by sociologist Scott L. Feld in 1991: on average, your friends have more friends than you. Not because you’re unpleasant, but because they tend to collect friends.
Imagine social networks like nodes (节点) on a graph. Highly connected individuals like D are central nodes, appearing in more social circles and standing out. More outgoing, they tend to share adventures or be annoying on social media. You take them for the norm, but they are the exception.
Here’s the best part — comparing yourself to these highly visible people makes you feel inferior: less socializing, less invited, just not enough. Social comparison is a deeply human nature, but when fed by algorithms (算法) and polished selfies, it goes full Black Mirror. Psychologist Leon Festinger proposed the social comparison theory in the 1950s, suggesting that people determine their self-worth by comparing with others. The harm is obvious — the option to hide like counts is pretty self-explanatory.
Here’s the emotional cost: You, quietly folding laundry in silence on a Friday night, believe you’re the only one not at a rooftop party. But the truth is, most people are more like Person A, B, C — less visible than D, living at a less photogenic angle. It’s completely normal.
So next time you’re wondering why others seem more connected, invited, and adored — remember the paradox. You’re comparing yourself to the most visible person, not the average. You’re not behind, you’re just looking at a distorted mirror. Zoom out. Breathe in. Text one of your friends. Chances are, they’re folding laundry too.
12. Why does the author use the A, B, C, D example in paragraph 1?
A. To demonstrate the value of social circles.
B. To clarify the uniqueness of sociable people.
C. To explain a misjudgment in social relations.
D. To emphasize the difficulty of making friends.
13. What does the underlined phrase “go full Black Mirror” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Lead to a positive outcome. B. Turn into something disturbing.
C. Become a common social habit. D. Reflect a normal human nature.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards people who live “at a less photogenic angle”?
A. Accepting. B. Admiring. C. Worried. D. Critical.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. How You Can Stop Self-Comparison. B. Why Others Seem More Popular.
C. How Social Media Poses a Hidden Danger. D. Why Being Less Visible Is a Problem.
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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever taken a personality test? If you’re like me, you’ve consulted BuzzFeed to discover which Taylor Swift song perfectly matches your soul. ______16______ But even some “serious” personality tests used to guide educational and career choices are also problematic. They assume your personality is fixed — implying you’re forever stuck with the personality you’re born with.
But modern personality research suggests that personality can and does change over time. ______17______ If you shift your mindset to believe that “being on time shows respect”, take pride in arriving early, and develop consistent habits like setting an alarm, you are changing. If you maintain these changes in your thoughts, emotions and behaviors over time — voila! — you are reliable. Personality: changed.
Data confirms this idea. Generally, personality changes across a person’s life span. As people age, they tend to experience fewer negative emotions and more positive ones. They are more responsible, more positive, and are less judgmental of others. ______18______ You can accelerate this transformation through intentional cognitive-behavioral changes.
First, you must examine your thinking patterns. For example, if you believe that “people only care about themselves,” you are more likely to act defensively. This leads to the second step: changing your behavior. If you are always defensive, others might snap at you or walk away. This only confirms your belief that you can’t trust others. ______19______ If you try behaving more openly — perhaps sharing your difficulties with a co-worker — you may see that they respond with kindness. This positive experience helps change your outlook.
In the end, these strategies work because your personality is simply your usual way of thinking and acting. ______20______
A. To break this cycle, try a new response.
B. But you don’t have to wait for time to do the work.
C. Suppose, for instance, you’re not super dependable.
D. It might be obvious that such quizzes are not scientific.
E. Some people change a lot and some people hold pretty steady.
F. You may believe they describe you accurately, even when they don’t.
G. By making small, daily changes, you can craft the personality you desire.

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。
It was early May, my first day as a volunteer groundskeeper for a senior housing complex. I had agreed on one condition: I wouldn’t have to deal with people.
I was trimming (修剪) weeds when a group of ladies gestured me to stop. “Stay away from our flower bed,” one woman said, wagging her finger at me. I nodded and went back to work. Did they think I was stupid? “Watch out for my raspberry plants by the fence,” another said, “I put signs by them.” Seriously? I gave them a thumbs-up and started the trimmer before anyone else could cut in. Next time, I’d work at lunch, when these busybodies would be inside eating.
At dinner, I complained to my wife: “I wish the residents would leave me alone.” “Paul, you sound more like a grouchkeeper (抱怨者) than a groundskeeper,” Debby said, laughing. “It’s their home. Of course, they have strong feelings about it.” “They can keep their feelings to themselves,” I said.
The next day, I found the flower ladies waiting. “We told you to be careful around our flower bed,” the finger wagger said, pointing at a patch of green I’d cut. “And the fence,” another added. “Oops, I thought those were weeds,” I said. They spun on their heels and walked off, muttering.
I checked the fence and saw the remains of raspberry seedlings. Not bushes. How was I supposed to see them? Where were the signs they’d posted? A few feet away, I spied two twisted straws with paper taped to them. “Raspberry Plant” was written neatly on the paper. My heart sank. I’d made a mess of things already. But I didn’t apologize. That would have meant more interaction. Instead, I just avoided them.
I tried to shrug off the guilt, yet each time I passed the flower bed or the fence, a small weight settled in my chest. Summer came. I was glad when it got hot. People stayed inside, and I could work uninterrupted — until a storm brought down trees and power lines.
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。
I had a lot of cleanup to do.

Oregon forests were the playground of my childhood, and our house there had a wide wraparound porch that started from the front door and finally extended the entire length of the back of the house. That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods.
This was, I think, the beginning of my fascination with the front porch. If a house is a place where we learn to create a home, then a front porch is an in-between space, a borderland that lets us keep some things at arm’s length, while inviting other things close, a place that is at once public and private.
I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life.
However, when did the front porch begin to disappear? When did we retreat inside, each confined to our own spaces, with no care for what was happening outside our front doors? It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected.
When I investigate community care and mutual aid, I am surprised by the types of actions that are suggested for those looking to build stronger communities. An incomplete list: get to know your neighbors, socialize with those who live nearby, share childcare duties, teach one another new skills.
You see, we’ve always known how to do this work. It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch.
4. What was the porch like in the author’s childhood memories?
A. A family-only reunion spot. B. A quiet corner for reading stories.
C. A lively center of social activities. D. An occasion-specific party place.
5. Why does the author mention her grandmother and neighbors in paragraph 3?
A. To recall previous porch-events. B. To show porch activities as daily life.
C. To highlight the porch’s decline. D. To stress the close family relationship.
6. What led to the disappearance of front porches?
A. A link to weaker community ties. B. A reflection of improved lifestyles.
C. A result of limited housing space. D. A shift toward indoor entertainment.
7. What message does the passage convey?
A. The unavoidable decline of face-to-face interactions.
B. The necessity of formal events for neighborhood ties.
C. The insignificance of porches in modern community building.
D. The power of simple daily acts in fostering community bonds.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲的是作者回忆童年时前廊作为邻里社交热闹场所的经历,反思其逐渐消失与社区纽带弱化之间的关联,并呼吁通过像“坐在前廊”这样简单的日常行为来重建社区联系。
【4题详解】
细节理解。根据第一段“That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods. (那个门廊——实际上,几乎每一个门廊都是人们聚会和狂欢的场所,是邻居们把菜肴送来时会站在门廊边闲聊,也是我们在春日午后柔和的阳光下坐在一起讲故事、窃窃私语谈论传闻以及编造关于森林深处生物的故事的地方。)”可知,前廊是人们聚集、聚会、邻里驻足聊天、讲故事、说闲话的地方,呈现出热闹活跃的社交场景。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life. (我记得当时我的祖母就坐在那里,享受着夏日夜晚的凉爽空气,还与我的父母、姑姑、叔叔以及所有年龄足够大、能进行“成人”交流的堂兄弟姐妹们交谈着。当邻居们路过时,他们会停下来,交谈几句,彼此问候一下。这些并非是有组织的活动,而是日常生活的一部分。)”可知,作者在第三段中提及她的祖母和邻居们是为了展现门廊活动是日常生活的一部分。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected. (感觉这种变化是逐渐发生的,并且伴随着诸如孤独感以及我们社区联系的破裂等种种问题——我不禁觉得这些现象之间肯定存在着某种关联。)”可知,作者将前廊的消失与社区纽带弱化视为彼此关联的现象,隐含二者存在因果联系。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch. (这并非什么新鲜事。也并非什么激进之举。更不是什么革命性的举措——它可能仅仅就是走出家门,坐在自家的门廊上这么简单。)”结合全文对前廊日常社交的怀念,以及社区纽带重建的讨论,可知文章主旨在于传达:像出门坐在前廊这样简单的日常行为,恰恰是培育社区联系的有力方式。

In the era of the internet, AI, smart homes and autonomous cars, there’s one thing we just can’t stop producing data. We are expected to generate 394 trillion zettabytes of the stuff every year by 2028, according to the analyst company IDC. Every time we watch a YouTube video, send an email, or ask an AI chatbot a question — data is created. Although data seems invisible, it is processed and housed in physical places — data centers, for which demand is now proving unsatisfiable.
The problem of storing this rapidly growing data has inspired novel solutions. One such approach is “memory crystals,” developed by Peter Kazansky, a researcher from Kyoto University. By burning tiny perforations into the glass, data can be encoded in five dimensions, using differences in light orientation, strength, and spatial position (individual 3D pixels with x, y, z coordinates). This method allows for extremely high density, with up to 360 TB stored on a 5-inch glass disk.
Another promising solution is DNA storage, first proposed by Soviet physicist Mikhail Samoilovich Neiman. In this method, digital data is mapped onto DNA’s four bases (A, T, C, and G), represented as 01, 00, 11, and 10, creating a physical form of data. A favorite line among DNA data storage researchers is that “you could store all of the data in the world in a teaspoon.” But its practical application still faces hurdles, especially in terms of cost and data access efficiency.
Heinis, a professor in data management at Imperial College London, says: “Kazansky’s ‘memory crystals’ is a direct competitor to DNA storage. But DNA might have an edge for we will always be able to read DNA, due to its wide-ranging medical applications. With other technologies, like ‘memory crystals’, the question is how long the read device will be around.”
Of course, solving the long-term data storage problem is an important part of the solution to energy-guzzling data centers. But do we really need all the data that we produce?
8. What problem does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. The rapid growth of global data production.
B. The rising demand for automated equipment.
C. The efficiency of data-processing technologies.
D. The challenge of storing the ever-growing data.
9. What gives memory crystals their high data density?
A. Heat-resistant glass. B. Computer-controlled drilling.
C. High-intensity light. D. Multi-dimensional encoding.
10. What can be inferred from Heinis’s words?
A. DNA storage has stronger reliability.
B. DNA storage keeps larger data storage capacity.
C. DNA storage owns a wider range of application.
D. DNA storage will soon replace memory crystals.
11. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Reduce data center noise. B. Cut data centers’ energy use.
C. Stop over-storage of data. D. Upgrade storage technology.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了互联网与人工智能时代全球数据产量激增,现有数据中心难以满足存储需求,进而介绍记忆晶体存储和DNA存储两种新型数据存储方案,并对比二者优劣,最后作者反思我们是否有必要存储所有产生的数据。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Although data seems invisible, it is processed and housed in physical places — data centers, for which demand is now proving unsatisfiable.(数据看似无形,却要在数据中心进行处理和存放,而如今对数据中心的需求已无法被满足。)” 可知,作者在第一段指出不断增长的数据带来了巨大的存储难题。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By burning tiny perforations into the glass, data can be encoded in five dimensions, using differences in light orientation, strength, and spatial position (individual 3D pixels with x, y, z coordinates). This method allows for extremely high density, with up to 360 TB stored on a 5-inch glass disk.(通过在玻璃上烧制微小微孔,可利用光的偏振方向、光强、空间位置(带有 x、y、z 三维坐标的独立 3D 像素)这五类维度对数据进行编码。该存储方式存储密度极高,一张 5 英寸玻璃圆盘的存储容量最高可达 360 太字节。)” 可知,多维编码让记忆晶体拥有超高数据存储密度。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的““But DNA might have an edge for we will always be able to read DNA, due to its wide-ranging medical applications. With other technologies, like ‘memory crystals’, the question is how long the read device will be around.”(“但 DNA存储或许更有优势:由于DNA在医学领域应用广泛,人类永远有办法读取它。而对于记忆晶体这类其他存储技术,一个问题是:对应的读取设备能存续多久、未来还能不能用。”)” 可知,DNA存储具备更强的可靠性。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文最后一段中的“But do we really need all the data that we produce?(但我们真的需要把产生的所有数据都保存下来吗?)” 可知,作者暗示不要过度存储数据。
D
Let’s say we have Person A, B, and C. They don’t know each other, but all are friends with Person D who is highly sociable — sincere, yet so flooded with dates. D makes you feel like the center of attention one moment, and unintentionally disposable the next, because you know, they have a lot going on.
Here’s the plot twist: A, B, and C all see themselves as the least socially connected. Why? They only compare themselves to the highly-visible D. Greater visibility doesn’t necessarily reflect what’s typical or average. This is the Friendship Paradox, observed by sociologist Scott L. Feld in 1991: on average, your friends have more friends than you. Not because you’re unpleasant, but because they tend to collect friends.
Imagine social networks like nodes (节点) on a graph. Highly connected individuals like D are central nodes, appearing in more social circles and standing out. More outgoing, they tend to share adventures or be annoying on social media. You take them for the norm, but they are the exception.
Here’s the best part — comparing yourself to these highly visible people makes you feel inferior: less socializing, less invited, just not enough. Social comparison is a deeply human nature, but when fed by algorithms (算法) and polished selfies, it goes full Black Mirror. Psychologist Leon Festinger proposed the social comparison theory in the 1950s, suggesting that people determine their self-worth by comparing with others. The harm is obvious — the option to hide like counts is pretty self-explanatory.
Here’s the emotional cost: You, quietly folding laundry in silence on a Friday night, believe you’re the only one not at a rooftop party. But the truth is, most people are more like Person A, B, C — less visible than D, living at a less photogenic angle. It’s completely normal.
So next time you’re wondering why others seem more connected, invited, and adored — remember the paradox. You’re comparing yourself to the most visible person, not the average. You’re not behind, you’re just looking at a distorted mirror. Zoom out. Breathe in. Text one of your friends. Chances are, they’re folding laundry too.
12. Why does the author use the A, B, C, D example in paragraph 1?
A. To demonstrate the value of social circles.
B. To clarify the uniqueness of sociable people.
C. To explain a misjudgment in social relations.
D. To emphasize the difficulty of making friends.
13. What does the underlined phrase “go full Black Mirror” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Lead to a positive outcome. B. Turn into something disturbing.
C. Become a common social habit. D. Reflect a normal human nature.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards people who live “at a less photogenic angle”?
A. Accepting. B. Admiring. C. Worried. D. Critical.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. How You Can Stop Self-Comparison. B. Why Others Seem More Popular.
C. How Social Media Poses a Hidden Danger. D. Why Being Less Visible Is a Problem.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文借助友谊悖论解释人们总觉得他人更受欢迎的原因,指出人们常与耀眼特例对比而自我内耗,平凡低调的生活本就是常态。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Here’s the plot twist: A, B, and C all see themselves as the least socially connected. Why? They only compare themselves to the highly-visible D.(剧情反转来了:A、B、C都认为自己是社交关系最薄弱的人。为什么?因为他们只拿自己和存在感极强的D去比较。)”可知,作者列举A、B、C、D的例子,是为了解释人们在人际关系中存在的错误自我评判现象。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Social comparison is a deeply human nature, but when fed by algorithms (算法) and polished selfies, it goes full Black Mirror.(社交攀比是人类根深蒂固的天性,但在算法推送与精修自拍的加持下,它goes full Black Mirror)”以及《黑镜》是一部以科技带来的扭曲、不安后果为主题的剧集可知,该短语表示“演变成令人不安、负面的状况”。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“But the truth is, most people are more like Person A, B, C — less visible than D, living at a less photogenic angle. It’s completely normal.(但事实是大多数人都像 A、B、C,不如D耀眼,生活没那么上镜,这完全正常。)”可知,作者对这类生活低调、不张扬的人持理解接纳的态度。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据最后一段“So next time you’re wondering why others seem more connected, invited, and adored — remember the paradox.(下次当你疑惑为什么别人看起来更有人脉、更受欢迎时,请记住这个悖论。)”可知,文章围绕友谊悖论,解释了为什么我们总觉得别人比自己更受欢迎,所以B项“Why Others Seem More Popular(为什么其他人看起来更受欢迎)”最贴合全文主旨。
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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever taken a personality test? If you’re like me, you’ve consulted BuzzFeed to discover which Taylor Swift song perfectly matches your soul. ______16______ But even some “serious” personality tests used to guide educational and career choices are also problematic. They assume your personality is fixed — implying you’re forever stuck with the personality you’re born with.
But modern personality research suggests that personality can and does change over time. ______17______ If you shift your mindset to believe that “being on time shows respect”, take pride in arriving early, and develop consistent habits like setting an alarm, you are changing. If you maintain these changes in your thoughts, emotions and behaviors over time — voila! — you are reliable. Personality: changed.
Data confirms this idea. Generally, personality changes across a person’s life span. As people age, they tend to experience fewer negative emotions and more positive ones. They are more responsible, more positive, and are less judgmental of others. ______18______ You can accelerate this transformation through intentional cognitive-behavioral changes.
First, you must examine your thinking patterns. For example, if you believe that “people only care about themselves,” you are more likely to act defensively. This leads to the second step: changing your behavior. If you are always defensive, others might snap at you or walk away. This only confirms your belief that you can’t trust others. ______19______ If you try behaving more openly — perhaps sharing your difficulties with a co-worker — you may see that they respond with kindness. This positive experience helps change your outlook.
In the end, these strategies work because your personality is simply your usual way of thinking and acting. ______20______
A. To break this cycle, try a new response.
B. But you don’t have to wait for time to do the work.
C. Suppose, for instance, you’re not super dependable.
D. It might be obvious that such quizzes are not scientific.
E. Some people change a lot and some people hold pretty steady.
F. You may believe they describe you accurately, even when they don’t.
G. By making small, daily changes, you can craft the personality you desire.
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了性格并非固定不变,人们可以通过有意的认知和行为改变来塑造自己想要的性格。
【16题详解】
前文“Have you ever taken a personality test? If you’re like me, you’ve consulted BuzzFeed to discover which Taylor Swift song perfectly matches your soul.(你是否曾经做过性格测试?如果像我一样,你曾通过浏览BuzzFeed来找出哪首泰勒·斯威夫特的歌曲最能与你的灵魂相契合。)”提到BuzzFeed上的娱乐性性格测试,后文“But even some “serious” personality tests used to guide educational and career choices are also problematic.(但即便是那些用于指导教育和职业选择的“严肃”性格测试也存在一些问题。)”用But转折,指出“严肃”的性格测试也存在问题。空格处需要先对娱乐性测试进行评价,形成递进关系。D 选项“It might be obvious that such quizzes are not scientific.(可能很明显这类小测验并不科学。)”,精准评价了前文提到的娱乐测试,为后文转折做铺垫。
【17题详解】
前文“But modern personality research suggests that personality can and does change over time.(但现代性格研究表明,性格是可以而且确实会随着时间而改变的。)”提出“性格可以改变”的核心观点,后文“If you shift your mindset to believe that “being on time shows respect”, take pride in arriving early, and develop consistent habits like setting an alarm, you are changing.(如果你转变思维模式,认为“准时意味着尊重”,为早到的行为感到自豪,并养成诸如设置闹钟之类的习惯,那么你就是改变了。)”通过“守时→变得可靠”的具体例子进行说明。空格处需要一个过渡句引出这个例子。C 选项“Suppose, for instance, you’re not super dependable.(比如,假设你不是特别可靠。)”,直接引出后文关于如何变得可靠的具体阐述,逻辑连贯。
【18题详解】
前文“Generally, personality changes across a person’s life span. As people age, they tend to experience fewer negative emotions and more positive ones. (一般来说,一个人的性格在其一生中会有所变化。随着年龄的增长,人们往往会经历较少的负面情绪,而更多积极的情绪。)”说明性格会随年龄自然变化,后文“You can accelerate this transformation through intentional cognitive-behavioral changes.(你可以通过有意识的认知行为改变来加速这一转变。)”指出“可以通过有意识的改变加速这一过程”。空格处需要一个转折句,从“自然变化”过渡到“主动改变”。B 选项“But you don’t have to wait for time to do the work.(但你不必等待时间来完成这项工作。)”,完美衔接上下文,强调了主观能动性的重要性。
【19题详解】
前文“For example, if you believe that “people only care about themselves,” you are more likely to act defensively. This leads to the second step: changing your behavior. If you are always defensive, others might snap at you or walk away. This only confirms your belief that you can’t trust others.( 例如,如果你认为“人们只关心自己”,那么你更有可能采取防御性的态度。这就引出了第二步:改变你的行为。如果你总是采取防御姿态,别人可能会对你发脾气或者走开。这只会进一步证实你认为自己无法信任他人的想法。)”描述了“消极思维→消极行为→更消极思维”的恶性循环,后文“If you try behaving more openly — perhaps sharing your difficulties with a co-worker — you may see that they respond with kindness.(如果你尝试更加坦诚地表现——比如与同事分享你的困扰——你可能会发现他们会以友善的态度回应。)”给出了“尝试更开放行为会收获友善回应”的解决方法。空格处需要一个承上启下的句子,点明要打破这个循环。A 选项“To break this cycle, try a new response.(要打破这个循环,尝试一种新的回应方式。)”准确总结了前文的循环问题,并引出后文的解决方案。
【20题详解】
空格位于文章结尾,需要对全文进行总结。前文“In the end, these strategies work because your personality is simply your usual way of thinking and acting.(最终,这些策略之所以有效,是因为你的个性其实就是你通常的思考和行为方式。)”指出性格是“通常的思维和行为方式”,空格处应介绍改变性格的方法。G 选项“By making small, daily changes, you can craft the personality you desire.(通过每天做出小小的改变,你可以塑造出自己想要的性格。)”,总结了全文主旨,呼应了 “性格可塑” 的核心观点。

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍中国绘本画家蔡皋获评2026年国际安徒生插画奖后的规划,讲述她对荣誉的理解、未来创作方向,以及她作为中国原创绘本先驱的地位和国际成就。
【36题详解】
考查宾语从句引导词。句意:在被评为2026年国际安徒生插画奖得主的第二天,中国绘本画家蔡皋就已经专注于接下来要做的事情,从拓展幼儿原创作品到打造植根于民俗传统和幼儿主题的新系列。介词on后接宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代“接下来要做的事情”,用what引导。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。固定搭配be rooted in意为“植根于;源于”,此处作后置定语修饰new series,省略be动词,用过去分词rooted。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:周二在意大利博洛尼亚国际儿童书展上,蔡皋称这份荣誉的意义超越了个人。beyond意为“超出;超越”,符合语境,指荣誉的价值不止于个人层面。
【39题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:“这不是一个人的奖项,”她说,“它属于一代创作者,也属于中国绘本的集体声音。”前后两个“属于”(belongs to)构成并列顺承关系,用and连接。
【40题详解】
考查一般现在时主谓一致。句意:评委会称赞蔡皋的作品集展现出“卓越的艺术品质”和独特的视觉语言,拓展了儿童插画的可能性。陈述客观评价,用一般现在时;先行词a body of work为单数,定语从句的谓语动词用第三人称单数demonstrates。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:然而,蔡皋现在的注意力坚定地放在未来的创作上。形容词future后需接名词作介词on的宾语,create的名词形式为creation(创作),此处为不可数名词。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她的首要任务之一是为0-3岁儿童创作原创绘本,她称这个领域特别有挑战性。be动词后可接动名词或不定式作表语,均表示“做某事”,故填developing/to develop。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:她还在探索相互关联的系列作品理念,与童谣和她早期的作品建立更深厚的联系。暗含与她后期作品的对比,用earlier“更早的”修饰works。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:蔡皋1946年生于长沙,被广泛认为是中国原创绘本的先驱。修饰被动语态is regarded,需用副词,wide的副词形式为widely。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她1993年的作品《宝儿》获得了布拉迪斯拉发国际插画双年展金苹果奖,为中国插画师在国际舞台上树立了一个里程碑。milestone为可数名词单数,此处表泛指,且milestone以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。

【答案】A “Growing” Problem on Campus
Our school’s labor practice base has long been left idle. The fields are overgrown with weeds, and the facilities there are rarely used. It is such a good resource that it’s a real pity to let it go to waste.
To make full use of the base, I have some suggestions. First, let classes take charge of different areas to grow vegetables and flowers. Second, organize regular labor activities for students to learn farming skills. Besides, we can hold planting competitions to raise students’ interest.
I hope the base can serve us well and help develop our spirit of labor.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
It was early May, my first day as a volunteer groundskeeper for a senior housing complex. I had agreed on one condition: I wouldn’t have to deal with people.
I was trimming (修剪) weeds when a group of ladies gestured me to stop. “Stay away from our flower bed,” one woman said, wagging her finger at me. I nodded and went back to work. Did they think I was stupid? “Watch out for my raspberry plants by the fence,” another said, “I put signs by them.” Seriously? I gave them a thumbs-up and started the trimmer before anyone else could cut in. Next time, I’d work at lunch, when these busybodies would be inside eating.
At dinner, I complained to my wife: “I wish the residents would leave me alone.” “Paul, you sound more like a grouchkeeper (抱怨者) than a groundskeeper,” Debby said, laughing. “It’s their home. Of course, they have strong feelings about it.” “They can keep their feelings to themselves,” I said.
The next day, I found the flower ladies waiting. “We told you to be careful around our flower bed,” the finger wagger said, pointing at a patch of green I’d cut. “And the fence,” another added. “Oops, I thought those were weeds,” I said. They spun on their heels and walked off, muttering.
I checked the fence and saw the remains of raspberry seedlings. Not bushes. How was I supposed to see them? Where were the signs they’d posted? A few feet away, I spied two twisted straws with paper taped to them. “Raspberry Plant” was written neatly on the paper. My heart sank. I’d made a mess of things already. But I didn’t apologize. That would have meant more interaction. Instead, I just avoided them.
I tried to shrug off the guilt, yet each time I passed the flower bed or the fence, a small weight settled in my chest. Summer came. I was glad when it got hot. People stayed inside, and I could work uninterrupted — until a storm brought down trees and power lines.
注意:

I had a lot of cleanup to do.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I had a lot of cleanup to do. The storm had turned the complex into a battlefield of fallen branches. While dragging branches aside, I saw the “flower ladies” struggling with a heavy limb over their buried raspberry patch, their hands trembling. I almost turned away, as usual, but the sight of those straw signs — now soaked and broken — stopped me cold. I hesitated, then stepped forward with my trimmer. “Let me help,” I muttered, carefully cutting away the wreckage. Under the branches, raspberry seedlings lay in wet soil. “They are still alive!” the finger wagger exclaimed, popping a thumbs-up. As the whole garden came back into shape, everything seemed to take on a new look.
Something seemed to be changing in me, too. The “grouchkeeper” I had built up was gone. That evening, instead of complaining to Debby, I told her the story of the “Great Raspberry Rescue of 2026” and my plan to make proper wooden signs for the berries. I stopped seeing the ladies as “busybodies” but as neighbors whose lives were woven into the soil I tended. Chats about how to protect the garden from future storms replaced my usual search for an exit. By trading silence for conversation, I realized that a good groundskeeper doesn’t just tend the soil but also the people who care for it, through listening, talking, and understanding.
【解析】
