When I started university, it quickly dawned on me that my class wasn’t going to be an easy place to make friends. Discussions weren’t held regularly and the study groups were changed 1 , which meant there wasn’t much time to get to know people.
By the time my first semester was over, I was seriously considering dropping out. However, I received good grades on my assignments, which I took as a 2 that I should stick it out. Still, over the course of my first and second year, the same patterns repeated. I gradually lost interest in the major I once loved. My attendance was declining and I was becoming increasingly 3 . I felt a lot of shame and embarrassment. I tried to 4 my feelings from the people closest to me.
Soon before I began my final year, despite my efforts, my professor voiced 5 that I seemed low in spirit. He reached out and talked with me to understand what was going on. This proved to be a turning point, as I acknowledged I was unhappy and looked toward ways of feeling better. I started to 6 these patterns willingly, rather than avoiding them. My decision to be more open allowed me to 7 with another student I met on my course. Through opening up, we discovered that we had experienced 8 struggles, which made the weight I’d been carrying lighter.
As a recent graduate, I face the new challenges of change and uncertainty. However, I now feel equipped with useful tools to 9 my mental well-being. I have maintained the positive routines I developed and cultivated greater openness with those around me. 10 struggling does not mean you are weak; it is a huge step in the right direction.

A
Most people change habits by focusing on outcomes — what they want to achieve. The alternative is identity-based habits — focusing on 11 you wish to become.

Four Top Audiobook Apps
Scribd
If you’re looking to combine your audiobook listening with e-books and news publications, Scribd might be the app for you. Its massive library includes a healthy balance of traditionally published books, bestsellers, and Scribd originals. Scribd also runs an associated program, which gives you one free month for every friend you invite, and gives your friend a two-month trial. If you're a writer, Scribd also has an open publishing platform to help you self-publish your audiobooks in minutes.
Kobo Books
Best known as an e-book retailer, Kobo Books also offers audiobooks on its platform. You get unlimited access to over 100,000 audiobooks in its library for only a few dollars. The app also does a good job organizing your purchased books, and its in-app statistics are brilliant for readers, knowing your reading habits in detail, while suggesting new recommended titles based on your history.
eStories
With over 120,000 different types of audiobooks to choose from, eStories starts off with a half-price offer for your first 3 months, and then switches to a higher-priced subscription. Members get discounted prices on additional audiobooks as well as other benefits such as extra credits and extended periods of use. As a member, you also get 30 days to return a book if you don’t like it. Additionally, the app provides unlimited storage for your own audio that you can upload.
Libby
Libby lets you borrow e-books and audiobooks from your local library. A library membership lets you access several thousand audiobooks on its app entirely free of cost. While the availability of titles depends on the library you're a member of, you’d still be getting free access to a lot of books that you’d otherwise have to pay for.

Ten years after the publication of her well-known first novel, The Girls, Emma Cline returns with a book that thinks about some of life’s biggest questions.
The author’s next novel, Switzy, will hit shelves this summer from Random House. PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the cover.
In Switzy, retired executive David Hastings sets out on a personal pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) as he begins to lose his memory. Accompanied by his personal assistant Cody, the two begin a voyage together,including stops in London to see David's daughter and a trip to France to meet with an old friend, before David makes his final stop in Zurich.
As readers stow away on David’s worldwide trip, they are taken into his mind as he struggles with his memories of childhood, losses and mistakes.
Publisher Random House calls the novel “engaging and surprisingly original,” as it explores“what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the false ideas he's relied on, disappear.”
Cline, a recipient of the O’ Henry Award, is also the author of the 2023 novel The Guest, as well as the 2020 short story collection Daddy. Across her work, she’s explored characters in various situations and settings, such as a 1960s extreme group and a fascinating summer home on modern day Long Island.
Switzy presented a new, internal battle to explore through her character, the author explains. “Assisted dying offers humans the strange gift of knowing exactly when we are to die,” Cline says in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “Let’s say the exit is planned for a certain Tuesday morning at 7 am. How would this knowledge pressurize your remaining days? Your final night, your last meal, your last glimpse of sunlight?”
24.What is the novel Switzy mainly about?
A.A daughter’s care for her father. B.A man’s reflection on life and time.
C.A wonderful trip across Europe. D.A writer’s creation of her works.
25.What does the underlined phrase “stow away on” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Hide secretly. B.Look back on.
C.Break away from. D.Go along with.
26.What can we learn about Emma Cline?
A.She has published several works. B.She wrote Switzy with her assistant.
C.She won an award for The Girls. D.She sets most stories in London.
27.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce a tourist center. B.To remember a famous writer.
C.To advertise a new novel. D.To review a classic story.

Scientists have long known that some dogs can learn the names of lots of toys. Now, a recent study shows that these dogs can even learn the names of new toys just by listening in while people talk about the toys — a skill that young children have, but most dogs do not.
Most dogs can be trained to follow simple commands like “come” or “sit”. But learning the names of things, called “label learning”, is harder. Most dogs struggle with it. Over the past 20 years, however, scientists have found a few dogs that can do it. These dogs can remember the names of many toys, sometimes even hundreds of them. They call these dogs “gifted word learners”. These dogs typically learn during play or training sessions with their owners, but some owners noticed their dogs responding to toy names overheard in daily conversations.
To test if these dogs can learn new words from overheard talk, Dr. Shany Dror and her team worked with 10 gifted word learners, mostly Border Collies. First, the scientists had owners teach the dogs two new toy names in the usual way — by talking directly to the dogs about the toy. Usually, it took the dogs about eight minutes spread over a few days to learn the names of the toys. When asked, the dogs could then fetch the correct toy from a pile of 11 with 80% accuracy.
In the second test, the scientists asked the dogs’ owners to talk about two other new toys with family members, repeating the toy names (e. g., “This is your armadillo”) without looking at or addressing the dogs. Days later, when asked to fetch these new toys, the dogs succeeded 100% of the time. In contrast, 10 non-gifted Border Collies failed to learn from the conversations.
This ability to learn by overhearing is similar to that of 18-month-old children. Researchers are still unsure why some dogs have this skill, as gifted word learners are extremely rare. Dr. Dror notes, “We’re always searching for more dogs to study.”
28.What is the typical way for “gifted word learners” to learn toy names?
A.Overhearing family conversations.
B.Watching children learn new words.
C.Fetching toys from a pile of objects.
D.Doing interactive activities with owners.
29.What do we know about the first test in the study?
A.It used overheard talk.
B.It achieved perfect accuracy.
C.It involved direct teaching.
D.It took eight minutes at a time.
30.What is Dr. Dror’s attitude towards finding more gifted word learners?
A.Cautious. B.Positive. C.Dismissive. D.Indifferent.
31.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Train Your Dog to Learn Words by Heart
B.Border Collies: The Smartest Dog Species?
C.Brainy Dogs Learn Words by Listening In
D.Gifted and Normal Dogs: Are There Differences?

The Power of a Smile
In a world where technology has become an integral part of our lives, it's easy to forget the simple pleasures that come from human interaction. One such pleasure is the power of a smile. A smile is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. It is a simple yet powerful gesture that can change the mood of a room, brighten someone's day, and even improve one's own mental well-being.
The science behind smiling is fascinating. When we smile, our brain releases endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural mood elevators. These endorphins help to reduce stress and create a sense of happiness and relaxation. Moreover, smiling can also be contagious. Studies have shown that when one person smiles, it can trigger a response in others to smile as well, creating a positive feedback loop.
However, in today's fast-paced world, people often forget to smile. The hustle and bustle of daily life can leave us feeling stressed and disconnected from others. But it's important to remember that a smile can be a powerful tool for connection. It can break the ice in social situations, ease tension in difficult conversations, and even help to build trust and rapport.
In addition to its social benefits, smiling also has health benefits. Regular smiling can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and even improve one's physical appearance. It's a natural anti-aging remedy that can make one look younger and more approachable.
So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, try smiling. It might just be the small act that makes a big difference in your day and the days of those around you. Remember, the power of a smile is not just a saying — it's a scientifically proven fact.
32.What is the main idea of the article?
A.The importance of technology in our lives.
B.The universal language of a smile and its benefits.
C.The negative effects of a fast-paced lifestyle.
D.The role of endorphins in reducing stress.
33.According to the article, what happens in our brain when we smile?
A.We feel more stressed.
B.Our blood pressure increases.
C.We release chemicals that elevate our mood.
D.We become more prone to illness.
34.Why can smiling be considered contagious?
A.Because it's a cultural norm.
B.Because it's a natural anti-aging remedy.
C.Because it's a sign of good health.
D.Because it triggers a response in others to smile as well.

First Aid for Emotional Outbursts: How to Hit the Brakes
Emotional outbursts can happen suddenly — that flash of anger, overwhelming anxiety or sadness. These feelings come without warning. 35 Your emotions take control; your mind shuts down, and you feel consumed by tunnel vision. Here’s a four-step plan to manage these intense feelings and regain control.
Realize your emotions have taken over.
Once your brain’s emotional center fires up, your rational (理智的) mind goes offline. Your brain drifts into past experiences fueling your mood, making it stronger. 36 They circle back, strengthening your feelings and making escape harder. The first step is recognizing this cycle: your rational mind is offline, and racing thoughts worsen the situation.
37
As soon as you notice this emotional cycle, take action to stop it. Simply name your feelings and pattern: I’m upset; my emotional brain has taken over; I’m stuck in that negative circle. This small act creates a gap between you and your emotions.
Calm yourself.
Have pre-planned calming skills ready: deep breathing, mindful cooking, or distraction like watching a favorite show. 38 They work by grounding you in the present, pulling you from negative memories and worst cases. Experts advise listing these methods visibly for easy access.
Once calm, circle back.
Reflect: What triggered (触发) me? A partner’s critical tone, sudden work change, or small disappointment? 39 Or is it an ongoing emotional pattern? Finally, take targeted action to solve it.
The key to handling emotional outbursts is balancing regulation and problem-solving. Master these steps, and you’ll hit the brakes on intense emotions before they take over.
A.Stop feeling bad.
B.Label what’s going on.
C.Reflect why it has influenced your mood.
D.Next, judge if it’s a real solvable problem.
E.They hit fast, intense feelings hard to process.
F.Memories turn into negative thoughts quickly.
G.These techniques need no special skills and are easy to use.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Just as we have an individual personality, we also have a “time personality”. The personality captures our relationship to time: whether we’re punctual (守时的), how much time we believe we have, and specific time-related habits we may display. According to Kristin Anderson, founder of Madison Square Psychotherapy, time personality is our natural style when it comes to managing time. For the majority of us, our time personality tends to fall along a range, from very rigid to very flexible.
Here’s a brief overview of four common time personalities. A “time optimist” tends to underestimate how long things take, leading to a pattern of ongoing delays. On the other end of the range, we have the “time anxious” personality. These people tend to be anxious to begin with. They also assume everything might go wrong (e.g., traffic delays, getting lost). Therefore, they show up to commitments far in advance. Those in the “time bender” category are driven by their emotions, or inspiration. They seem to live in their own personal time zone, maximizing “flow state” when they’ve entered it. For those who identify with the “time blind” personality, sensing the passage of time is challenging. They might start a task and, by the time they check the clock, an entire hour has disappeared somehow.
What exactly drives our varying relationships with time perception? Personality is a key player. People, characterized by competitiveness, ambition, and drive, may be more likely to be time anxious and rigid about schedules. In contrast, those who have characteristics like patience, calmness and cooperativeness tend to be flexible and may lean toward being time benders. Neurobiological factors also play a role. Higher dopamine (多巴胺) levels in the brain can speed up the brain’s internal clock, impacting our perception of time. Finally, age can affect our time perception. This is because adults have fewer new experiences and slower dopamine metabolism (新陈代谢), which makes time seem like it’s going by faster than it actually is.
While each time personality comes with its own set of drawbacks when not properly managed, the good news is that we can work with these tendencies to manage our time better.
40.What is time personality according to Kristin Anderson?
41.What time personalities are mentioned in the passage?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
With fewer new experiences and slower dopamine metabolism, adults perceive time as passing more slowly.
43.Which time personality fits you most closely? How will you work with it to manage your time better? (In about 40 words)

Ten years after the publication of her well-known first novel, The Girls, Emma Cline returns with a book that thinks about some of life’s biggest questions.
The author’s next novel, Switzy, will hit shelves this summer from Random House. PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the cover.
In Switzy, retired executive David Hastings sets out on a personal pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) as he begins to lose his memory. Accompanied by his personal assistant Cody, the two begin a voyage together,including stops in London to see David's daughter and a trip to France to meet with an old friend, before David makes his final stop in Zurich.
As readers stow away on David’s worldwide trip, they are taken into his mind as he struggles with his memories of childhood, losses and mistakes.
Publisher Random House calls the novel “engaging and surprisingly original,” as it explores“what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the false ideas he's relied on, disappear.”
Cline, a recipient of the O’ Henry Award, is also the author of the 2023 novel The Guest, as well as the 2020 short story collection Daddy. Across her work, she’s explored characters in various situations and settings, such as a 1960s extreme group and a fascinating summer home on modern day Long Island.
Switzy presented a new, internal battle to explore through her character, the author explains. “Assisted dying offers humans the strange gift of knowing exactly when we are to die,” Cline says in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “Let’s say the exit is planned for a certain Tuesday morning at 7 am. How would this knowledge pressurize your remaining days? Your final night, your last meal, your last glimpse of sunlight?”
24.What is the novel Switzy mainly about?
A.A daughter’s care for her father. B.A man’s reflection on life and time.
C.A wonderful trip across Europe. D.A writer’s creation of her works.
25.What does the underlined phrase “stow away on” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Hide secretly. B.Look back on.
C.Break away from. D.Go along with.
26.What can we learn about Emma Cline?
A.She has published several works. B.She wrote Switzy with her assistant.
C.She won an award for The Girls. D.She sets most stories in London.
27.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce a tourist center. B.To remember a famous writer.
C.To advertise a new novel. D.To review a classic story.

Scientists have long known that some dogs can learn the names of lots of toys. Now, a recent study shows that these dogs can even learn the names of new toys just by listening in while people talk about the toys — a skill that young children have, but most dogs do not.
Most dogs can be trained to follow simple commands like “come” or “sit”. But learning the names of things, called “label learning”, is harder. Most dogs struggle with it. Over the past 20 years, however, scientists have found a few dogs that can do it. These dogs can remember the names of many toys, sometimes even hundreds of them. They call these dogs “gifted word learners”. These dogs typically learn during play or training sessions with their owners, but some owners noticed their dogs responding to toy names overheard in daily conversations.
To test if these dogs can learn new words from overheard talk, Dr. Shany Dror and her team worked with 10 gifted word learners, mostly Border Collies. First, the scientists had owners teach the dogs two new toy names in the usual way — by talking directly to the dogs about the toy. Usually, it took the dogs about eight minutes spread over a few days to learn the names of the toys. When asked, the dogs could then fetch the correct toy from a pile of 11 with 80% accuracy.
In the second test, the scientists asked the dogs’ owners to talk about two other new toys with family members, repeating the toy names (e. g., “This is your armadillo”) without looking at or addressing the dogs. Days later, when asked to fetch these new toys, the dogs succeeded 100% of the time. In contrast, 10 non-gifted Border Collies failed to learn from the conversations.
This ability to learn by overhearing is similar to that of 18-month-old children. Researchers are still unsure why some dogs have this skill, as gifted word learners are extremely rare. Dr. Dror notes, “We’re always searching for more dogs to study.”
28.What is the typical way for “gifted word learners” to learn toy names?
A.Overhearing family conversations.
B.Watching children learn new words.
C.Fetching toys from a pile of objects.
D.Doing interactive activities with owners.
29.What do we know about the first test in the study?
A.It used overheard talk.
B.It achieved perfect accuracy.
C.It involved direct teaching.
D.It took eight minutes at a time.
30.What is Dr. Dror’s attitude towards finding more gifted word learners?
A.Cautious. B.Positive. C.Dismissive. D.Indifferent.
31.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Train Your Dog to Learn Words by Heart
B.Border Collies: The Smartest Dog Species?
C.Brainy Dogs Learn Words by Listening In
D.Gifted and Normal Dogs: Are There Differences?
【答案】28.D 29.C 30.B 31.C
【导语】文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现:部分被称为“天才词汇学习者”的狗狗能通过偷听人们对话学会新玩具的名字,而大多数狗狗不具备这种能力,该能力与18个月大的儿童相似。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段“These dogs typically learn during play or training sessions with their owners, but some owners noticed their dogs responding to toy names overheard in daily conversations. (这些狗狗通常是在和主人玩耍或训练的过程中学习的,但一些主人注意到他们的狗狗会对日常对话中听到的玩具名字做出反应。)”可知,“天才词汇学习者”狗狗学习玩具名字的典型方式是和主人一起进行互动玩耍或训练活动。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段“First, the scientists had owners teach the dogs two new toy names in the usual way — by talking directly to the dogs about the toy. (首先,科学家让主人用常规方式教狗狗两个新玩具的名字——直接和狗狗谈论这个玩具。)”可知,研究的第一项测试采用了主人直接教狗狗的方式。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Dror notes, “We’re always searching for more dogs to study.” (Dror博士指出:“我们一直在寻找更多可以研究的狗狗。”)”可推知,Dr. Dror对寻找更多“天才词汇学习者”狗狗持积极态度。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now, a recent study shows that these dogs can even learn the names of new toys just by listening in while people talk about the toys — a skill that young children have, but most dogs do not. (现在,一项最新研究表明,这些狗狗甚至可以仅仅通过偷听人们谈论玩具,就能学会新玩具的名字——这是幼儿具备但大多数狗狗不具备的一项技能。)”可知,文章主要介绍了部分聪明的狗狗能通过偷听人们对话学会新单词;C选项“Brainy Dogs Learn Words by Listening In (聪明狗狗靠偷听学会单词)”精准概括了全文大意。

The Power of a Smile
In a world where technology has become an integral part of our lives, it's easy to forget the simple pleasures that come from human interaction. One such pleasure is the power of a smile. A smile is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. It is a simple yet powerful gesture that can change the mood of a room, brighten someone's day, and even improve one's own mental well-being.
The science behind smiling is fascinating. When we smile, our brain releases endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural mood elevators. These endorphins help to reduce stress and create a sense of happiness and relaxation. Moreover, smiling can also be contagious. Studies have shown that when one person smiles, it can trigger a response in others to smile as well, creating a positive feedback loop.
However, in today's fast-paced world, people often forget to smile. The hustle and bustle of daily life can leave us feeling stressed and disconnected from others. But it's important to remember that a smile can be a powerful tool for connection. It can break the ice in social situations, ease tension in difficult conversations, and even help to build trust and rapport.
In addition to its social benefits, smiling also has health benefits. Regular smiling can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and even improve one's physical appearance. It's a natural anti-aging remedy that can make one look younger and more approachable.
So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, try smiling. It might just be the small act that makes a big difference in your day and the days of those around you. Remember, the power of a smile is not just a saying — it's a scientifically proven fact.
32.What is the main idea of the article?
A.The importance of technology in our lives.
B.The universal language of a smile and its benefits.
C.The negative effects of a fast-paced lifestyle.
D.The role of endorphins in reducing stress.
33.According to the article, what happens in our brain when we smile?
A.We feel more stressed.
B.Our blood pressure increases.
C.We release chemicals that elevate our mood.
D.We become more prone to illness.
34.Why can smiling be considered contagious?
A.Because it's a cultural norm.
B.Because it's a natural anti-aging remedy.
C.Because it's a sign of good health.
D.Because it triggers a response in others to smile as well.

First Aid for Emotional Outbursts: How to Hit the Brakes
Emotional outbursts can happen suddenly — that flash of anger, overwhelming anxiety or sadness. These feelings come without warning. 35 Your emotions take control; your mind shuts down, and you feel consumed by tunnel vision. Here’s a four-step plan to manage these intense feelings and regain control.
Realize your emotions have taken over.
Once your brain’s emotional center fires up, your rational (理智的) mind goes offline. Your brain drifts into past experiences fueling your mood, making it stronger. 36 They circle back, strengthening your feelings and making escape harder. The first step is recognizing this cycle: your rational mind is offline, and racing thoughts worsen the situation.
37
As soon as you notice this emotional cycle, take action to stop it. Simply name your feelings and pattern: I’m upset; my emotional brain has taken over; I’m stuck in that negative circle. This small act creates a gap between you and your emotions.
Calm yourself.
Have pre-planned calming skills ready: deep breathing, mindful cooking, or distraction like watching a favorite show. 38 They work by grounding you in the present, pulling you from negative memories and worst cases. Experts advise listing these methods visibly for easy access.
Once calm, circle back.
Reflect: What triggered (触发) me? A partner’s critical tone, sudden work change, or small disappointment? 39 Or is it an ongoing emotional pattern? Finally, take targeted action to solve it.
The key to handling emotional outbursts is balancing regulation and problem-solving. Master these steps, and you’ll hit the brakes on intense emotions before they take over.
A.Stop feeling bad.
B.Label what’s going on.
C.Reflect why it has influenced your mood.
D.Next, judge if it’s a real solvable problem.
E.They hit fast, intense feelings hard to process.
F.Memories turn into negative thoughts quickly.
G.These techniques need no special skills and are easy to use.
【答案】35.E 36.F 37.B 38.G 39.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍应对情绪突然爆发的四个步骤,帮助人们及时控制强烈情绪、恢复理性。
35.上文“Emotional outbursts can happen suddenly — that flash of anger, overwhelming anxiety or sadness. These feelings come without warning.(情绪爆发可能会突然发生——愤怒的闪现、压倒性的焦虑或悲伤。这些感觉毫无预兆地出现。)”描述了情绪爆发的突然性和强烈性,E项“它们来势汹汹,强烈的情绪难以处理。”承接上文,进一步说明了这些情绪的强烈和难以处理,符合语境。故选E项。
36.上文“Your brain drifts into past experiences fueling your mood, making it stronger.(你的大脑会陷入过去的经历中,从而加剧你的情绪,使其更加强烈。)”说明大脑会陷入过去的经历,F项“记忆很快会变成消极的想法。”承接上文,说明记忆会很快变成消极的想法,与后文“They circle back, strengthening your feelings and making escape harder.(它们会循环回来,增强你的感觉,让你更难逃脱。)”呼应,且后文中的“They”指代F项中“negative thoughts”,说明消极的想法会循环回来,增强你的感觉,符合语境。故选F项。
37.根据后文“As soon as you notice this emotional cycle, take action to stop it. Simply name your feelings and pattern: I’m upset; my emotional brain has taken over; I’m stuck in that negative circle. This small act creates a gap between you and your emotions.(一旦你注意到这个情绪循环,就采取行动阻止它。只需说出你的感受和模式:我很沮丧;我的情绪大脑占据了主导;我陷入了那个消极的循环。这个小小的举动会在你和你的情绪之间制造一个隔阂。)”可知,本段主要介绍了要说出自己的感受和模式,给自己的情绪贴上标签,B项“给正在发生的事情贴上标签。”符合语境,适合作为本段小标题。故选B项。
38.上文“Have pre-planned calming skills ready: deep breathing, mindful cooking, or distraction like watching a favorite show.(提前准备好冷静的技巧:深呼吸、专注烹饪,或者像看喜欢的节目这样的分散注意力的活动。)”介绍了一些冷静的技巧,G项“这些技巧不需要特殊技能,易于使用。”承接上文,说明这些技巧的特点,符合语境。故选G项。
39.上文“Reflect: What triggered (触发) me? A partner’s critical tone, sudden work change, or small disappointment?(反思:是什么触发了我?伴侣批评的语气、突然的工作变动,还是小小的失望?)” 提出反思触发点,后文“Or is it an ongoing emotional pattern?(又或者这是一个持续的情绪模式?)”用“Or”构成并列疑问,D选项“接下来,判断这是不是一个真正可以解决的问题。”承接上文,与后文语义并列、逻辑连贯,符合语境。故选D项。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Just as we have an individual personality, we also have a “time personality”. The personality captures our relationship to time: whether we’re punctual (守时的), how much time we believe we have, and specific time-related habits we may display. According to Kristin Anderson, founder of Madison Square Psychotherapy, time personality is our natural style when it comes to managing time. For the majority of us, our time personality tends to fall along a range, from very rigid to very flexible.
Here’s a brief overview of four common time personalities. A “time optimist” tends to underestimate how long things take, leading to a pattern of ongoing delays. On the other end of the range, we have the “time anxious” personality. These people tend to be anxious to begin with. They also assume everything might go wrong (e.g., traffic delays, getting lost). Therefore, they show up to commitments far in advance. Those in the “time bender” category are driven by their emotions, or inspiration. They seem to live in their own personal time zone, maximizing “flow state” when they’ve entered it. For those who identify with the “time blind” personality, sensing the passage of time is challenging. They might start a task and, by the time they check the clock, an entire hour has disappeared somehow.
What exactly drives our varying relationships with time perception? Personality is a key player. People, characterized by competitiveness, ambition, and drive, may be more likely to be time anxious and rigid about schedules. In contrast, those who have characteristics like patience, calmness and cooperativeness tend to be flexible and may lean toward being time benders. Neurobiological factors also play a role. Higher dopamine (多巴胺) levels in the brain can speed up the brain’s internal clock, impacting our perception of time. Finally, age can affect our time perception. This is because adults have fewer new experiences and slower dopamine metabolism (新陈代谢), which makes time seem like it’s going by faster than it actually is.
While each time personality comes with its own set of drawbacks when not properly managed, the good news is that we can work with these tendencies to manage our time better.
40.What is time personality according to Kristin Anderson?
41.What time personalities are mentioned in the passage?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
With fewer new experiences and slower dopamine metabolism, adults perceive time as passing more slowly.
43.Which time personality fits you most closely? How will you work with it to manage your time better? (In about 40 words)
【答案】40.Time personality is our natural style when it comes to managing time. 41.Time optimist, time anxious, time bender and time blind. 42.With fewer new experiences and slower dopamine metabolism, adults perceive time as passing more slowly.
With fewer new experiences and slower dopamine metabolism, adults perceive time as passing faster. 43.I am a time optimist. I always underestimate how long things take and often fall behind schedule. I will make detailed plans ahead and set earlier deadlines to avoid delays. I also remind myself to be more realistic about time every day.
【导语】文章主要介绍了时间性格的定义、四种常见时间性格类型,以及影响人们时间感知差异的性格、神经生物和年龄因素,并指出合理调适自身时间性格可以更好地管理时间。
40.细节理解题。根据原文第一段“According to Kristin Anderson, founder of Madison Square Psychotherapy, time personality is our natural style when it comes to managing time.(麦迪逊广场心理治疗中心创始人Kristin Anderson认为,时间性格是我们在时间管理方面与生俱来的行事方式。)”可知,Kristin Anderson认为时间性格是我们在管理时间方面的天生行事风格。
41.细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Here’s a brief overview of four common time personalities.(以下是四种常见时间性格的简要概述。)” 以及下文依次介绍的四种类型可知,文中提到了时间乐观型(time optimist)、时间焦虑型(time anxious)、时间随性型(time bender)、时间无感型(time blind)四种时间性格。
42.细节理解题。根据原文第三段“This is because adults have fewer new experiences and slower dopamine metabolism, which makes time seem like it’s going by faster than it actually is.(这是因为成年人新鲜体验变少、多巴胺新陈代谢变慢,这会让时间看起来比实际流逝得更快。)” 可知,成年人会觉得时间过得更快而不是更慢,原句中more slowly表述错误。
43.开放性题目。题干问:你最符合哪一种时间性格?你将如何利用这种性格特点来更好地管理自己的时间?根据第二段“A “time optimist” tends to underestimate how long things take, leading to a pattern of ongoing delays.(“时间乐观型”的人往往会低估做事情所需的时间,进而形成习惯性拖延、不断迟到的状态。)”介绍的“时间乐观型”的人的特点,可回答:我属于时间乐观型。我总是低估做事情所需的时间,常常耽误进度。我会提前制定详细计划、设定更早的截止日期来避免拖延。我也会每天提醒自己,对时间预估要更务实理性。答案不唯一,言之有理即可。

This is a fantastic idea that will surely spark your schoolmates’ interest in our rich culture. I’d like to recommend two classic activities. First, a Chinese Calligraphy workshop would be a great hands-on experience. Students can try writing simple characters with a brush and ink, feeling the unique beauty of our written language. Second, holding a table tennis friendly match followed by a short introduction to its history in China would be perfect, as it’s our national sport and promotes fun and interaction.
I sincerely hope these activities will give British students a taste of China’s charm and deepen their understanding of our culture. Wish your event a great success!
Yours,

When I started university, it quickly dawned on me that my class wasn’t going to be an easy place to make friends. Discussions weren’t held regularly and the study groups were changed 1 , which meant there wasn’t much time to get to know people.
By the time my first semester was over, I was seriously considering dropping out. However, I received good grades on my assignments, which I took as a 2 that I should stick it out. Still, over the course of my first and second year, the same patterns repeated. I gradually lost interest in the major I once loved. My attendance was declining and I was becoming increasingly 3 . I felt a lot of shame and embarrassment. I tried to 4 my feelings from the people closest to me.
Soon before I began my final year, despite my efforts, my professor voiced 5 that I seemed low in spirit. He reached out and talked with me to understand what was going on. This proved to be a turning point, as I acknowledged I was unhappy and looked toward ways of feeling better. I started to 6 these patterns willingly, rather than avoiding them. My decision to be more open allowed me to 7 with another student I met on my course. Through opening up, we discovered that we had experienced 8 struggles, which made the weight I’d been carrying lighter.
As a recent graduate, I face the new challenges of change and uncertainty. However, I now feel equipped with useful tools to 9 my mental well-being. I have maintained the positive routines I developed and cultivated greater openness with those around me. 10 struggling does not mean you are weak; it is a huge step in the right direction.

A
Most people change habits by focusing on outcomes — what they want to achieve. The alternative is identity-based habits — focusing on 11 you wish to become. For example, when 12 (offer) a snack, instead of saying “I’m trying to quit snacks”, say “I’m not a snack person”. The first suggests you still see yourself as a snack lover; the second reflects an identity change. Every action votes for the person you want to become. As votes build up, so does 13 (evident) of your new identity.
B

I was having the time of my life with the incredible fifth-grade class this year. They were full of love and creativity.

The next gesture is 15 I will never forget: the students proceeded to trade shoes with each other to match my crazy situation. 16 (magical), my mismatched shoes turned out to be the coolest trend in the classroom.
C

Four Top Audiobook Apps
Scribd
If you’re looking to combine your audiobook listening with e-books and news publications, Scribd might be the app for you. Its massive library includes a healthy balance of traditionally published books, bestsellers, and Scribd originals. Scribd also runs an associated program, which gives you one free month for every friend you invite, and gives your friend a two-month trial. If you're a writer, Scribd also has an open publishing platform to help you self-publish your audiobooks in minutes.
Kobo Books
Best known as an e-book retailer, Kobo Books also offers audiobooks on its platform. You get unlimited access to over 100,000 audiobooks in its library for only a few dollars. The app also does a good job organizing your purchased books, and its in-app statistics are brilliant for readers, knowing your reading habits in detail, while suggesting new recommended titles based on your history.
eStories
With over 120,000 different types of audiobooks to choose from, eStories starts off with a half-price offer for your first 3 months, and then switches to a higher-priced subscription. Members get discounted prices on additional audiobooks as well as other benefits such as extra credits and extended periods of use. As a member, you also get 30 days to return a book if you don’t like it. Additionally, the app provides unlimited storage for your own audio that you can upload.
Libby
Libby lets you borrow e-books and audiobooks from your local library. A library membership lets you access several thousand audiobooks on its app entirely free of cost. While the availability of titles depends on the library you're a member of, you’d still be getting free access to a lot of books that you’d otherwise have to pay for. The catch is that since you're technically borrowing the books, you only have two weeks to get through them before they're returned. Plus, it must be noted that this app is only operational in North America.

Ten years after the publication of her well-known first novel, The Girls, Emma Cline returns with a book that thinks about some of life’s biggest questions.
The author’s next novel, Switzy, will hit shelves this summer from Random House. PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the cover.
In Switzy, retired executive David Hastings sets out on a personal pilgrimage (朝圣之旅) as he begins to lose his memory. Accompanied by his personal assistant Cody, the two begin a voyage together,including stops in London to see David's daughter and a trip to France to meet with an old friend, before David makes his final stop in Zurich.
As readers stow away on David’s worldwide trip, they are taken into his mind as he struggles with his memories of childhood, losses and mistakes.
Publisher Random House calls the novel “engaging and surprisingly original,” as it explores“what a man is left with when the accomplishments and compromises that have defined him, and the false ideas he's relied on, disappear.”
Cline, a recipient of the O’ Henry Award, is also the author of the 2023 novel The Guest, as well as the 2020 short story collection Daddy. Across her work, she’s explored characters in various situations and settings, such as a 1960s extreme group and a fascinating summer home on modern day Long Island.
Switzy presented a new, internal battle to explore through her character, the author explains. “Assisted dying offers humans the strange gift of knowing exactly when we are to die,” Cline says in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “Let’s say the exit is planned for a certain Tuesday morning at 7 am. How would this knowledge pressurize your remaining days? Your final night, your last meal, your last glimpse of sunlight?”
24.What is the novel Switzy mainly about?
A.A daughter’s care for her father. B.A man’s reflection on life and time.
C.A wonderful trip across Europe. D.A writer’s creation of her works.
25.What does the underlined phrase “stow away on” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Hide secretly. B.Look back on.
C.Break away from. D.Go along with.
26.What can we learn about Emma Cline?
A.She has published several works. B.She wrote Switzy with her assistant.
C.She won an award for The Girls. D.She sets most stories in London.
27.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce a tourist center. B.To remember a famous writer.
C.To advertise a new novel. D.To review a classic story.
C
Scientists have long known that some dogs can learn the names of lots of toys. Now, a recent study shows that these dogs can even learn the names of new toys just by listening in while people talk about the toys — a skill that young children have, but most dogs do not.
Most dogs can be trained to follow simple commands like “come” or “sit”. But learning the names of things, called “label learning”, is harder. Most dogs struggle with it. Over the past 20 years, however, scientists have found a few dogs that can do it. These dogs can remember the names of many toys, sometimes even hundreds of them. They call these dogs “gifted word learners”. These dogs typically learn during play or training sessions with their owners, but some owners noticed their dogs responding to toy names overheard in daily conversations.
To test if these dogs can learn new words from overheard talk, Dr. Shany Dror and her team worked with 10 gifted word learners, mostly Border Collies. First, the scientists had owners teach the dogs two new toy names in the usual way — by talking directly to the dogs about the toy. Usually, it took the dogs about eight minutes spread over a few days to learn the names of the toys. When asked, the dogs could then fetch the correct toy from a pile of 11 with 80% accuracy.
In the second test, the scientists asked the dogs’ owners to talk about two other new toys with family members, repeating the toy names (e. g., “This is your armadillo”) without looking at or addressing the dogs. Days later, when asked to fetch these new toys, the dogs succeeded 100% of the time. In contrast, 10 non-gifted Border Collies failed to learn from the conversations.
This ability to learn by overhearing is similar to that of 18-month-old children. Researchers are still unsure why some dogs have this skill, as gifted word learners are extremely rare. Dr. Dror notes, “We’re always searching for more dogs to study.”
28.What is the typical way for “gifted word learners” to learn toy names?
A.Overhearing family conversations.
B.Watching children learn new words.
C.Fetching toys from a pile of objects.
D.Doing interactive activities with owners.
29.What do we know about the first test in the study?
A.It used overheard talk.
B.It achieved perfect accuracy.
C.It involved direct teaching.
D.It took eight minutes at a time.
30.What is Dr. Dror’s attitude towards finding more gifted word learners?
A.Cautious. B.Positive. C.Dismissive. D.Indifferent.
31.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Train Your Dog to Learn Words by Heart
B.Border Collies: The Smartest Dog Species?
C.Brainy Dogs Learn Words by Listening In
D.Gifted and Normal Dogs: Are There Differences?

The Power of a Smile
In a world where technology has become an integral part of our lives, it's easy to forget the simple pleasures that come from human interaction. One such pleasure is the power of a smile. A smile is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. It is a simple yet powerful gesture that can change the mood of a room, brighten someone's day, and even improve one's own mental well-being.
The science behind smiling is fascinating. When we smile, our brain releases endorphins (内啡肽), which are natural mood elevators. These endorphins help to reduce stress and create a sense of happiness and relaxation. Moreover, smiling can also be contagious. Studies have shown that when one person smiles, it can trigger a response in others to smile as well, creating a positive feedback loop.
However, in today's fast-paced world, people often forget to smile. The hustle and bustle of daily life can leave us feeling stressed and disconnected from others. But it's important to remember that a smile can be a powerful tool for connection. It can break the ice in social situations, ease tension in difficult conversations, and even help to build trust and rapport.
In addition to its social benefits, smiling also has health benefits. Regular smiling can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and even improve one's physical appearance. It's a natural anti-aging remedy that can make one look younger and more approachable.
So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, try smiling. It might just be the small act that makes a big difference in your day and the days of those around you. Remember, the power of a smile is not just a saying — it's a scientifically proven fact.
32.What is the main idea of the article?
A.The importance of technology in our lives.
B.The universal language of a smile and its benefits.
C.The negative effects of a fast-paced lifestyle.
D.The role of endorphins in reducing stress.
33.According to the article, what happens in our brain when we smile?
A.We feel more stressed.
B.Our blood pressure increases.
C.We release chemicals that elevate our mood.
D.We become more prone to illness.
34.Why can smiling be considered contagious?
A.Because it's a cultural norm.
B.Because it's a natural anti-aging remedy.
C.Because it's a sign of good health.
D.Because it triggers a response in others to smile as well.

First Aid for Emotional Outbursts: How to Hit the Brakes
Emotional outbursts can happen suddenly — that flash of anger, overwhelming anxiety or sadness. These feelings come without warning. 35 Your emotions take control; your mind shuts down, and you feel consumed by tunnel vision. Here’s a four-step plan to manage these intense feelings and regain control.
Realize your emotions have taken over.
Once your brain’s emotional center fires up, your rational (理智的) mind goes offline. Your brain drifts into past experiences fueling your mood, making it stronger. 36 They circle back, strengthening your feelings and making escape harder. The first step is recognizing this cycle: your rational mind is offline, and racing thoughts worsen the situation.
37
As soon as you notice this emotional cycle, take action to stop it. Simply name your feelings and pattern: I’m upset; my emotional brain has taken over; I’m stuck in that negative circle. This small act creates a gap between you and your emotions.
Calm yourself.
Have pre-planned calming skills ready: deep breathing, mindful cooking, or distraction like watching a favorite show. 38 They work by grounding you in the present, pulling you from negative memories and worst cases. Experts advise listing these methods visibly for easy access.
Once calm, circle back.
Reflect: What triggered (触发) me? A partner’s critical tone, sudden work change, or small disappointment? 39 Or is it an ongoing emotional pattern? Finally, take targeted action to solve it.
The key to handling emotional outbursts is balancing regulation and problem-solving. Master these steps, and you’ll hit the brakes on intense emotions before they take over.
A.Stop feeling bad.
B.Label what’s going on.
C.Reflect why it has influenced your mood.
D.Next, judge if it’s a real solvable problem.
E.They hit fast, intense feelings hard to process.
F.Memories turn into negative thoughts quickly.
G.These techniques need no special skills and are easy to use.
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Just as we have an individual personality, we also have a “time personality”. The personality captures our relationship to time: whether we’re punctual (守时的), how much time we believe we have, and specific time-related habits we may display. According to Kristin Anderson, founder of Madison Square Psychotherapy, time personality is our natural style when it comes to managing time. For the majority of us, our time personality tends to fall along a range, from very rigid to very flexible.
Here’s a brief overview of four common time personalities. A “time optimist” tends to underestimate how long things take, leading to a pattern of ongoing delays. On the other end of the range, we have the “time anxious” personality. These people tend to be anxious to begin with. They also assume everything might go wrong (e.g., traffic delays, getting lost). Therefore, they show up to commitments far in advance. Those in the “time bender” category are driven by their emotions, or inspiration. They seem to live in their own personal time zone, maximizing “flow state” when they’ve entered it. For those who identify with the “time blind” personality, sensing the passage of time is challenging. They might start a task and, by the time they check the clock, an entire hour has disappeared somehow.
What exactly drives our varying relationships with time perception? Personality is a key player. People, characterized by competitiveness, ambition, and drive, may be more likely to be time anxious and rigid about schedules. In contrast, those who have characteristics like patience, calmness and cooperativeness tend to be flexible and may lean toward being time benders. Neurobiological factors also play a role. Higher dopamine (多巴胺) levels in the brain can speed up the brain’s internal clock, impacting our perception of time. Finally, age can affect our time perception. This is because adults have fewer new experiences and slower dopamine metabolism (新陈代谢), which makes time seem like it’s going by faster than it actually is.
While each time personality comes with its own set of drawbacks when not properly managed, the good news is that we can work with these tendencies to manage our time better.
40.What is time personality according to Kristin Anderson?
41.What time personalities are mentioned in the passage?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
With fewer new experiences and slower dopamine metabolism, adults perceive time as passing more slowly.
43.Which time personality fits you most closely? How will you work with it to manage your time better? (In about 40 words)
