I stared (凝视) at the judges’ note: “The work doesn’t show emotional (情感的) depth.” and my heart broke. I had spent weeks drawing every leaf and stone ____13____. Though my fingers hurt, I kept going without resting. For several days, I stayed alone in my room, thinking about giving up painting completely. My art teacher, Ms. Wilson, ____14____ my silence. She sat beside me and said gently, “Your skill is good, but where are your feelings in the picture?” Her words stayed in my mind. While riding my bike home through the forest I had painted, I suddenly realized what she meant. I had been so busy copying nature that I forgot my own ____15____ with it. That summer, I volunteered at a nature park. Instead of drawing quickly, I learned to sit quietly under the trees, watching sunlight move across the grass. Slowly, my love for painting ____16____. My sketchbook soon filled with simple but lovely ____17____—morning light on the hills, small animals moving softly, and birds landing lightly on the rocks. When the art competition came again the next year, I painted outdoors rather than using old photos. This time, I left some parts ____18____ so that viewers could use their imagination. After handing in my work, I felt a sense of calm. A week later, the judges wrote, “We feel the life of the forest.” I won a prize and even received an invitation to teach painting at a small summer camp in the countryside. Now, as a young art teacher, when I teach these kids, I always share what Ms. Wilson taught me. Last Thursday, a girl looked upset and said, “My sunflowers look too dark.” Instead of letting her add more ____19____, I handed her some seeds (种子). “Watch how they grow first.” I told her. A few weeks later, her new painting looked more natural and full of life. When we hung it near the window, a butterfly passed by slowly, as if giving us the same message: true art comes from careful watching, not from simple ____20____. Slow down, keep creating with heart, and your work will shine brightly. 13. A. quickly B. suddenly C. secretly D. carefully 14. A. noticed B. questioned C. refused D. described 15. A. competition B. connection C. promise D. argument 16. A. returned B. continued C. weakened D. cooled 17. A. ideas B. stories C. events D. moments 18. A. lively B. bright C. open D. limited 19. A. brushes B. color C. lines D. paper 20. A. drawing B. thinking C. copying D. creating 【答案】13. D 14. A 15. B 16. A 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】 本文讲述作者 15 岁参赛画作因缺情感深度落选，在老师点拨下领悟创作要融入与自然的联结，经静心观察自然重拾绘画热情，次年参赛凭借富有生命力的作品获奖；如今他成为美术老师，传承理念引导学生从观察生活中汲取创作灵感。 【13题详解】 句意：我花了数周时间，仔细地描绘每一片叶子和每一块石头。 quickly快速地；suddenly突然地；secretly秘密地；carefully仔细地。根据后文“Though my fingers hurt, I kept going without resting.”可知，作者作画时十分用心、细致。故选D。 【14题详解】 句意：我的美术老师威尔逊女士，注意到了我的沉默。 noticed注意到；questioned询问；refused拒绝；described描述。根据“I stayed alone in my room, thinking about giving up painting completely”可知，作者因比赛失利独自待在房间里沉默不语，老师察觉到了他的低落状态，“noticed”有“察觉、注意到”的含义，符合语境。故选A。 【15题详解】 句意：我一直忙于照搬自然的样子，却忘记了自己与它的联结。 competition比赛；connection联系；promise承诺；argument争论。根据“true art comes from careful watching”和“keep creating with heart, and your work will shine brightly.”可知，作者只注重模仿自然的外形，却忽略了和自然之间的情感关联。故选B。 【16题详解】 句意：慢慢地，我对绘画的热爱回来了。 returned回归；continued继续；weakened减弱；cooled降温。根据第二段“I stayed alone in my room, thinking about giving up painting completely”和第四段空后“My sketchbook soon filled with simple but lovely...”可知，作者之前因比赛失利想要放弃绘画，在自然公园静心观察后重新找到了创作灵感，对绘画的热爱也失而复得。“returned”表示“回归”，符合这个情感变化的过程。故选A。 【17题详解】 句意：我的速写本很快就写满了简单却美好的瞬间——山间的晨光、缓步移动的小动物，还有轻盈落在石头上的小鸟。 ideas想法；stories故事；events大事；moments瞬间。根据“morning light on the hills, small animals moving softly, and birds landing lightly on the rocks”可知，破折号后列举的“山间晨光、小动物移动、小鸟落脚”，都是自然中短暂又美好的片段，“moments”表示“瞬间、片刻”，能够精准概括这些画面。故选D。 【18题详解】 句意：这一次，我特意留白了一些部分，好让观众能够发挥自己的想象力。 lively活泼的；bright明亮的；open留白的；limited有限的。“leave some parts open”是绘画领域的常用表达，意思是“留白”，目的是给观众留出想象空间，和后文“use their imagination”相呼应。故选C。 【19题详解】 句意：我没有让她再添加更多颜料，而是递给了她一些种子。 brushes画笔；color颜料；lines线条；paper纸张。根据常规绘画思路可知，女孩觉得自己画的向日葵颜色太暗，应是想要添加更多颜料来提亮画面。故选B。 【20题详解】 句意：真正的艺术源于用心观察，而非简单照搬。 drawing绘画；thinking思考；copying复制；creating创造。根据“true art comes from careful watching”和“keep creating with heart, and your work will shine brightly.”可知，真正的艺术不是“简单复制”，而是用心观察。故选C。 五、阅读理解 (每题2分，共26分) (一) 阅读下列人物自我介绍，请根据人物的喜好为他们推荐娱乐活动，并将每项活动所对应的A、B、C、D选项填在相应位置上。选项中有一项为多余选项。 A 阅读下列人物自我介绍，请根据人物的喜好为他们推荐娱乐活动，并将每项活动所对应的A、B、C、D选项填在相应位置上。选项中有一项为多余选项。 ____21____ I’m Helen.

He was a bit down. Earlier that evening, he had argued with his dad about using AI to finish his work. “You have used it too much,” his dad had said. “It’s useful, but if you use it for everything, you won’t learn to think for yourself.” Tom knew his dad was right. That night, Tom came to the bedroom, his heart beating fast. He took a deep breath and entered. “Dad, can we talk?” he asked. His dad smiled and nodded. Tom said, “I was wrong to use AI for all my homework. I want to try doing it by myself from now on.” His dad was glad and gave him some advice: start with small tasks, check facts with AI, but try to write down your own ideas. The next morning, Tom opened his notebook. He tried to finish his English writing on his own. At first, it was slow, and he made many mistakes. He got confused by some difficult questions and almost gave up. But then he thought of his dad’s words: “Try your best and take your time.” Slowly, he began writing, checking each sentence carefully. By lunchtime, Tom finished his writing and felt more confident. As the week went on, Tom tried to use what he learned in different subjects. He used AI only to check facts. He still made mistakes and had to rewrite part of his report. At first, he felt upset, but then he realized that correcting his own mistakes helped him understand the topic better. His dad noticed and said, “You are improving. Believe in yourself.” Finally, Friday came. Tom handed in his history report, written completely by himself. When he got it back, he could hardly believe it—he got an A! His teacher even praised his careful thinking and creative ideas. Tom learned an important lesson: learning is not about taking the easy way. It is about working hard, thinking carefully, and facing problems bravely. 24. When Tom came to the bedroom that night, he felt ________. A. excited and happy B. angry and impatient C. nervous and worried D. confident and relaxed 25. What did Tom do after he thought of his father’s advice? A. He gave up when he made many mistakes. B. He finished his writing on his own carefully. C. He copied his classmates’ work to save time. D.

True learning needs effort, independent thinking and facing challenges. D. Real learning requires practice, quick thinking and avoiding problems. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Tom因过度依赖AI完成作业与父亲产生争执，后通过自我反思和努力，最终学会独立思考并取得进步的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“That night, Tom came to the bedroom, his heart beating fast. He took a deep breath and entered.”可知，他心跳很快，且进行深呼吸，说明他是紧张又担忧的。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But then he thought of his dad’s words: ‘Try your best and take your time.’ Slowly, he began writing, checking each sentence carefully.

You first have a sense of yourself early in life, perhaps as young as 18 months, when you recognize that the little baby you see in the mirror is really you, and not another child. As you progress through childhood and into teenage years, you start to develop a set of views about your identity (身份), including how your body looks and performs, your abilities, your personality and your place in society. While we are growing up, we start to create our own descriptions about the events we have gone through, or what I call the “life story”. Our identities are shaped by our life stories, as the memories of these stories gradually become a part of our sense of self. Of all these memories, the most important are “self-defining memories”. They are remembered most clearly and can help to build up our overall sense of self most greatly. Learning to recognize your own self-defining memories can help you gain important insights about your identity. The easiest way to discover your own self-defining memories is by thinking about the events in your life that you are most likely to tell other people about when they say “tell me a little about yourself”. However, self-defining memories are always changing as you experience more events. They may vary according to your age and what you care about in present life. In a study, scientists compared older adults with college students. They found that older adults were more likely to feel more positively (正面地) about their self-defining memories, even if the memories were of events that were negative in nature. A similar study also suggests that older adults have found ways to make sense out of their life stories. They turn memories of troubling events into positive stories, and in this way, they make peace with their past struggles (挣扎). For younger adults, troubling events cause them to experience more pain when they recall them. As scientists have discovered, a self-defining memory does not have to be positive in order for you to grow from it. It’s not the event, but the meaning you make out of the event, that affects (影响) your sense of well-being. Discovering your self-defining memories is an important step in dealing with your life experiences. By recognizing and making sense out of past events, your identity can continue to grow and improve how you see yourself, both now, and in the future. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Our self-defining memories have little to do with age. B. Our own descriptions of life experiences shape our identity. C. We should share positive life stories when introducing ourselves. D. We start to have self-defining memories when we are 18 months old. 28. From the studies mentioned in Paragraph 5, we know ________. A. important events can be changed by time B. older adults have few troubling life events C. making sense out of memories helps us to grow D. self-discovery happens during positive experiences 29. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Self-defining memories: How others get to know you B. Self-defining memories: A collection of pleasant memories C. Self-defining memories: A great way to understand yourself D. Self-defining memories: Describing your best self to the world 【答案】27. B 28. C 29. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了我们的记忆通过多种方式定义我们的自我意识。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Our identities are shaped by our life stories, as the memories of these stories gradually become a part of our sense of self.”可知，我们自己对生活经历的描述塑造了我们的身份。故选B。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In a study, scientists compared older adults with college students. They found that older adults were more likely to feel more positively (正面地) about their self-defining memories, even if the memories were of events that were negative in nature. A similar study also suggests that older adults have found ways to make sense out of their life stories.”可知，理解记忆有助于我们成长。故选C。 【29题详解】 最佳标题。根据“By recognizing and making sense out of past events, your identity can continue to grow and improve how you see yourself, both now, and in the future.”结合全文内容，本文主要讲述了我们的记忆通过多种方式定义我们的自我意识。本文的标题应为“自我定义的记忆：了解自己的好方法”。故选C。 D Almost everyone has experienced the uncomfortable feeling of being misunderstood. A girl, for example, sends a short message to her friend because she is busy, but the friend thinks she is angry. Or a mother asks her son to study harder out of care, yet the son believes she doesn’t trust him. A teacher may simply ask a student to hand in homework, but the student thinks that the teacher dislikes him. Misunderstandings like these can cause serious results. They may hurt friendships, create arguments in families, or make people not believe each other. When someone feels people are wrong about them, they may become sad, angry, or even stop expressing their true thoughts. In class, a student who is often misunderstood may stop asking questions or taking part in group work. What makes things worse is that misunderstandings often grow quietly, and people may not realize the problem until it becomes difficult to fix. One reason for misunderstandings is that people see the same situation differently. Our past experiences, feelings and worries all change how we hear words. Another reason is that we often make quick guesses without checking the facts. We think we already know what the other person means, so we stop listening. Sometimes, people keep their feelings inside because they are afraid of being laughed at. As a result, small problems turn into bigger ones. Facing these facts can be uncomfortable, but it is important if we want to build stronger relationships. Recognizing misunderstandings is the first step to change. When we slow down, listen carefully, and ask questions, we can better understand what others truly mean. Simple sentences like “Did you mean…” or “I feel this way when you say that” can open the door to real communication. Research shows that empathy can help stop many misunderstandings. This feeling for others helps us notice when people are sad or worried and makes us try to understand their feelings. These ways of listening, asking and caring help us think before reacting and give others a chance to explain themselves. The key to solving misunderstandings lies in kindness to ourselves and others. Everyone makes mistakes in communication. By creating an environment where people feel safe to speak, we can break down walls. When we understand that misunderstandings are a common part of life, it becomes easier to talk openly, fix relationships, and grow together. 30. Why does the writer use the examples in Paragraph 1? A. To stress that misunderstandings can cause problems. B. To answer why people send short messages to others. C. To compare different ways to communicate with others. D. To show that misunderstandings often happen in daily life. 31. What does the word “empathy” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. A way to start conversations. B. A study on misunderstandings. C. A feeling of understanding how others feel. D. A habit of asking questions when communicating. 32. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Staying quiet is the way to stop arguments. B. Guessing quickly helps solve misunderstandings. C. Open communication helps stop many misunderstandings. D. Misunderstandings happen because people lie to each other. 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To stop people to make communication mistakes. B. To advise readers how to express themselves clearly. C. To explain why misunderstandings are often difficult to fix. D. To tell people how to fix misunderstandings and communicate well. 【答案】30. D 31. C 32. C 33. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了误解在日常生活中的常见性、危害与成因，并给出了识别和解决误解的方法。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Almost everyone has experienced the uncomfortable feeling of being misunderstood. A girl, for example, sends a short message to her friend because she is busy, but the friend thinks she is angry. Or a mother asks her son to study harder out of care, yet the son believes she doesn’t trust him.”可知，作者列举女孩发消息、母亲督促学习等例子，是为了说明误解在日常生活中经常发生。故选D。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Research shows that empathy can help stop many misunderstandings. This feeling for others helps us notice when people are sad or worried and makes us try to understand their feelings.”可知，“empathy”能帮助减少误解，能让我们注意到别人的悲伤或担忧，并试图理解他们的感受，因此是一种理解他人感受的能力。故选C。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When we slow down, listen carefully, and ask questions, we can better understand what others truly mean.”和“By creating an environment where people feel safe to speak, we can break down walls.”可推知，作者认为开放的沟通有助于避免很多误解。故选C。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了误解在日常生活中的常见性、危害与成因，并给出了识别和解决误解的方法，最终目的是告诉人们如何解决误解并实现良好沟通。故选D。 第三部分 (共29分) 六、阅读与表达 (46-48题每题2分，49题4分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever felt like studying is a bit boring but watching someone else study makes you want to join in? You’re not alone. “Study with Me” is a new way you can try. The basic idea behind it is that watching someone else study motivates (激励) us to do the same. “Study with Me” is a kind of live broadcast (直播) on the Internet. It often shows real-time scenes of someone studying, in silence or with soft music. It creates a sense of companionship for the viewers and provides shared focus, a common experience and a feeling of community and togetherness. Studying together can make the learning process more enjoyable and effective, leading to the rising popularity of the study broadcast. More and more students around the world are attracted. So, why does watching someone else study make us want to study too? Scientists explain that it’s a human’s natural habit. We are likely to copy the behaviors of those around us, which is called mimicry. When we watch someone else study, we are likely to follow the way they take notes, use the same study tools, or take breaks with them. Moreover, we have the need for social support. People on the screen are like our secret study partners. When we see them working hard on the screen, we might feel that we are part of a team. It can inspire us to push through our own difficulties. “Study with Me” can be helpful, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, we should set clear study goals before joining online study partners because it can help us stay focused on our own work. Besides, it’s important not to depend on it too much because true motivation should come from within. Lastly, we’d better stick to learning with some trustworthy people who have well-organized study plans. As we move further into the digital age, ways of learning are always changing, offering exciting new learning experiences. “Study with Me” is a great example to create global connections and encourage students to enjoy the learning journey through focus, fun and friendship. 34. What is the basic idea behind “Study with Me”? ________________________________________ 35. What does “Study with Me” often show? ________________________________________ 36. Why should we set clear study goals first before joining online study partners? ________________________________________ 37.

Why ②. not ③. share 【解析】 【详解】原句中“为什么不”和“分享”是关键词。表示“为什么不”的句型为“Why not”或“Why don’t you”，但此处有三个空格，还要留一个给谓语，故选“Why not”，注意首字母大写，后面接动词原形；表示“分享”的动词为“share”，“share sth. with sb,”，表示“和某人分享某事”，符合语境。故填Why；not；share。 40. 用一些胶带修复它们怎么样？ ________ ________ ________ some tape to fix them? 【答案】 ①. What##How ②. about ③. using 【解析】 【详解】原句中“……怎么样”和“用”是关键信息；“……怎么样”对应固定句型What/How about，用于提出建议；“用”对应动词use，介词about后需接动名词形式，因此用use的动名词形式using。 41. 很快，我完全爱上了这项运动。 Soon, I completely ________ ________ ________ ________ the sport. 【答案】 ①. fell ②. in ③. love ④. with 【解析】 【详解】原句关键词为“爱上了”，根据句意可知，本句时态为一般过去时，表示“爱上”的英文是fall in love with，fall的过去式为fell，故填fell；in；love；with。 42. 昨天晚上艾米的妈妈禁不住担心她的安全。 Amy’s mom ________ ________ ________ ________ her safety last night. 【答案】 ①. couldn’t ②. help ③. worrying ④. about 【解析】 【详解】原句关键词为“禁不住担心”，根据“last night”可知，句子时态为一般过去时。“情不自禁做某事”的英文是can’t help doing sth.，can’t的过去式为couldn’t；“担心”的英文是worry about，worry的动名词形式为worrying，故填couldn’t；help；worrying；about。 八、文段表达 (共10分) 43. 根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的班级和姓名。 成长总是交织着疼痛与收获，而真正的力量，就藏在那些我们并肩作战的时刻里。某英文网站正举办“同心协力，共克难关”为主题的征文活动。假设你是李华，请你用英文写一篇短文投稿，分享一次令你难忘的团队合作经历，以及你从中学到了什么。 提示词语：difficulty, cheer, goal, overcome, strength 提示问题：• What was your unforgettable teamwork experience? • What have you learned from this teamwork experience?

I stared (凝视) at the judges’ note: “The work doesn’t show emotional (情感的) depth.” and my heart broke. I had spent weeks drawing every leaf and stone ____13____. Though my fingers hurt, I kept going without resting. For several days, I stayed alone in my room, thinking about giving up painting completely. My art teacher, Ms. Wilson, ____14____ my silence. She sat beside me and said gently, “Your skill is good, but where are your feelings in the picture?” Her words stayed in my mind. While riding my bike home through the forest I had painted, I suddenly realized what she meant. I had been so busy copying nature that I forgot my own ____15____ with it. That summer, I volunteered at a nature park. Instead of drawing quickly, I learned to sit quietly under the trees, watching sunlight move across the grass. Slowly, my love for painting ____16____. My sketchbook soon filled with simple but lovely ____17____—morning light on the hills, small animals moving softly, and birds landing lightly on the rocks. When the art competition came again the next year, I painted outdoors rather than using old photos. This time, I left some parts ____18____ so that viewers could use their imagination. After handing in my work, I felt a sense of calm. A week later, the judges wrote, “We feel the life of the forest.” I won a prize and even received an invitation to teach painting at a small summer camp in the countryside. Now, as a young art teacher, when I teach these kids, I always share what Ms. Wilson taught me. Last Thursday, a girl looked upset and said, “My sunflowers look too dark.” Instead of letting her add more ____19____, I handed her some seeds (种子). “Watch how they grow first.” I told her. A few weeks later, her new painting looked more natural and full of life. When we hung it near the window, a butterfly passed by slowly, as if giving us the same message: true art comes from careful watching, not from simple ____20____. Slow down, keep creating with heart, and your work will shine brightly. 13. A. quickly B. suddenly C. secretly D. carefully 14. A. noticed B. questioned C. refused D. described 15. A. competition B. connection C. promise D. argument 16. A. returned B. continued C. weakened D. cooled 17. A. ideas B. stories C. events D. moments 18. A. lively B. bright C. open D. limited 19.

He was a bit down. Earlier that evening, he had argued with his dad about using AI to finish his work. “You have used it too much,” his dad had said. “It’s useful, but if you use it for everything, you won’t learn to think for yourself.” Tom knew his dad was right. That night, Tom came to the bedroom, his heart beating fast. He took a deep breath and entered. “Dad, can we talk?” he asked. His dad smiled and nodded. Tom said, “I was wrong to use AI for all my homework. I want to try doing it by myself from now on.” His dad was glad and gave him some advice: start with small tasks, check facts with AI, but try to write down your own ideas. The next morning, Tom opened his notebook. He tried to finish his English writing on his own. At first, it was slow, and he made many mistakes. He got confused by some difficult questions and almost gave up. But then he thought of his dad’s words: “Try your best and take your time.” Slowly, he began writing, checking each sentence carefully. By lunchtime, Tom finished his writing and felt more confident. As the week went on, Tom tried to use what he learned in different subjects. He used AI only to check facts. He still made mistakes and had to rewrite part of his report. At first, he felt upset, but then he realized that correcting his own mistakes helped him understand the topic better. His dad noticed and said, “You are improving. Believe in yourself.” Finally, Friday came. Tom handed in his history report, written completely by himself. When he got it back, he could hardly believe it—he got an A! His teacher even praised his careful thinking and creative ideas. Tom learned an important lesson: learning is not about taking the easy way. It is about working hard, thinking carefully, and facing problems bravely. 24. When Tom came to the bedroom that night, he felt ________. A. excited and happy B. angry and impatient C. nervous and worried D. confident and relaxed 25. What did Tom do after he thought of his father’s advice? A. He gave up when he made many mistakes. B. He finished his writing on his own carefully. C. He copied his classmates’ work to save time. D. He used AI to get more ideas for his writing. 26. What can we learn from the story? A. Making mistakes always leads to negative effects. B. Using AI is the best way to finish homework quickly. C. True learning needs effort, independent thinking and facing challenges. D. Real learning requires practice, quick thinking and avoiding problems. C In many ways, our memories define (定义) our sense of self. You first have a sense of yourself early in life, perhaps as young as 18 months, when you recognize that the little baby you see in the mirror is really you, and not another child. As you progress through childhood and into teenage years, you start to develop a set of views about your identity (身份), including how your body looks and performs, your abilities, your personality and your place in society. While we are growing up, we start to create our own descriptions about the events we have gone through, or what I call the “life story”. Our identities are shaped by our life stories, as the memories of these stories gradually become a part of our sense of self. Of all these memories, the most important are “self-defining memories”. They are remembered most clearly and can help to build up our overall sense of self most greatly. Learning to recognize your own self-defining memories can help you gain important insights about your identity. The easiest way to discover your own self-defining memories is by thinking about the events in your life that you are most likely to tell other people about when they say “tell me a little about yourself”. However, self-defining memories are always changing as you experience more events. They may vary according to your age and what you care about in present life. In a study, scientists compared older adults with college students. They found that older adults were more likely to feel more positively (正面地) about their self-defining memories, even if the memories were of events that were negative in nature. A similar study also suggests that older adults have found ways to make sense out of their life stories. They turn memories of troubling events into positive stories, and in this way, they make peace with their past struggles (挣扎). For younger adults, troubling events cause them to experience more pain when they recall them. As scientists have discovered, a self-defining memory does not have to be positive in order for you to grow from it. It’s not the event, but the meaning you make out of the event, that affects (影响) your sense of well-being. Discovering your self-defining memories is an important step in dealing with your life experiences. By recognizing and making sense out of past events, your identity can continue to grow and improve how you see yourself, both now, and in the future. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Our self-defining memories have little to do with age. B. Our own descriptions of life experiences shape our identity. C. We should share positive life stories when introducing ourselves. D. We start to have self-defining memories when we are 18 months old. 28. From the studies mentioned in Paragraph 5, we know ________. A. important events can be changed by time B. older adults have few troubling life events C. making sense out of memories helps us to grow D. self-discovery happens during positive experiences 29. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Self-defining memories: How others get to know you B. Self-defining memories: A collection of pleasant memories C. Self-defining memories: A great way to understand yourself D. Self-defining memories: Describing your best self to the world D Almost everyone has experienced the uncomfortable feeling of being misunderstood. A girl, for example, sends a short message to her friend because she is busy, but the friend thinks she is angry. Or a mother asks her son to study harder out of care, yet the son believes she doesn’t trust him. A teacher may simply ask a student to hand in homework, but the student thinks that the teacher dislikes him. Misunderstandings like these can cause serious results. They may hurt friendships, create arguments in families, or make people not believe each other. When someone feels people are wrong about them, they may become sad, angry, or even stop expressing their true thoughts. In class, a student who is often misunderstood may stop asking questions or taking part in group work. What makes things worse is that misunderstandings often grow quietly, and people may not realize the problem until it becomes difficult to fix. One reason for misunderstandings is that people see the same situation differently. Our past experiences, feelings and worries all change how we hear words. Another reason is that we often make quick guesses without checking the facts. We think we already know what the other person means, so we stop listening. Sometimes, people keep their feelings inside because they are afraid of being laughed at. As a result, small problems turn into bigger ones. Facing these facts can be uncomfortable, but it is important if we want to build stronger relationships. Recognizing misunderstandings is the first step to change. When we slow down, listen carefully, and ask questions, we can better understand what others truly mean. Simple sentences like “Did you mean…” or “I feel this way when you say that” can open the door to real communication. Research shows that empathy can help stop many misunderstandings. This feeling for others helps us notice when people are sad or worried and makes us try to understand their feelings. These ways of listening, asking and caring help us think before reacting and give others a chance to explain themselves. The key to solving misunderstandings lies in kindness to ourselves and others. Everyone makes mistakes in communication. By creating an environment where people feel safe to speak, we can break down walls. When we understand that misunderstandings are a common part of life, it becomes easier to talk openly, fix relationships, and grow together. 30. Why does the writer use the examples in Paragraph 1? A. To stress that misunderstandings can cause problems. B. To answer why people send short messages to others. C. To compare different ways to communicate with others. D. To show that misunderstandings often happen in daily life. 31. What does the word “empathy” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. A way to start conversations. B. A study on misunderstandings. C. A feeling of understanding how others feel. D. A habit of asking questions when communicating. 32. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. Staying quiet is the way to stop arguments. B. Guessing quickly helps solve misunderstandings. C. Open communication helps stop many misunderstandings. D. Misunderstandings happen because people lie to each other. 33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To stop people to make communication mistakes. B. To advise readers how to express themselves clearly. C. To explain why misunderstandings are often difficult to fix. D. To tell people how to fix misunderstandings and communicate well. 第三部分 (共29分) 六、阅读与表达 (46-48题每题2分，49题4分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Have you ever felt like studying is a bit boring but watching someone else study makes you want to join in? You’re not alone. “Study with Me” is a new way you can try. The basic idea behind it is that watching someone else study motivates (激励) us to do the same. “Study with Me” is a kind of live broadcast (直播) on the Internet. It often shows real-time scenes of someone studying, in silence or with soft music. It creates a sense of companionship for the viewers and provides shared focus, a common experience and a feeling of community and togetherness. Studying together can make the learning process more enjoyable and effective, leading to the rising popularity of the study broadcast. More and more students around the world are attracted. So, why does watching someone else study make us want to study too? Scientists explain that it’s a human’s natural habit. We are likely to copy the behaviors of those around us, which is called mimicry. When we watch someone else study, we are likely to follow the way they take notes, use the same study tools, or take breaks with them. Moreover, we have the need for social support. People on the screen are like our secret study partners. When we see them working hard on the screen, we might feel that we are part of a team. It can inspire us to push through our own difficulties. “Study with Me” can be helpful, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, we should set clear study goals before joining online study partners because it can help us stay focused on our own work. Besides, it’s important not to depend on it too much because true motivation should come from within. Lastly, we’d better stick to learning with some trustworthy people who have well-organized study plans. As we move further into the digital age, ways of learning are always changing, offering exciting new learning experiences. “Study with Me” is a great example to create global connections and encourage students to enjoy the learning journey through focus, fun and friendship. 34.
