Passage 1
(2026·北京东城·二模)
Last month, I visited a well-known art museum in the city with my wife. As we stood before a priceless impressionist painting, I noticed something strange: nearly every teenager around us was not looking at the paintings. Their arms extended, and their eyes were fixed on the small screens of their cellphones. They were taking photos — dozens of them — framing the artwork and adjusting angles, all without pausing to actually see the painting itself.
This scene made me wonder: have we, as a generation, lost the ability to experience life directly? It seems that for many of us, an event is not real unless it is documented and shared on social media. We don’t just go to a concert; we capture it to post online. We don’t just watch a sunset; we film it for the social media platform.
I used to be one of those people. Last summer, I went to a music festival and spent the entire night holding my phone above my head, trying to record every song. When I got home, I was exhausted — and disappointed. My videos were shaky, the audio was terrible, and I couldn’t remember a single note I had “watched” live. Worse, I had missed the chance to dance with my friends or feel the music in my bones. That night, I realized I had prioritized sharing the moment over living it.
So, I have made a promise to myself: to put my phone down more often and be fully present in those times that make life meaningful. We need to look at the painting instead of photographing it, and dance to the music instead of recording it. Why let our phone cameras become a barrier between us and the world? After all, the best memories are not the ones we capture on camera — they are the ones we capture in our hearts.
40. What were the teenagers busy doing in the museum?
_______________________________________________________
41. What did the author realize after the music festival?
_______________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
For the best memories, the author has decided to keep records of the meaningful moments.
_______________________________________________________
43. Do you agree that the cellphone camera has become a barrier between us and the world? Why or why not? (In about 40 words)
_______________________________________________________
【答案】40. They were busy taking photos of the paintings without appreciating them carefully.
41. He realized he had prioritized sharing the moment over living it.
42. For the best memories, the author has decided to keep records of the meaningful moments. Because the author decides to put down his phone and experience meaningful moments personally instead of recording them.
43. (open) Yes, I agree. Many people focus on taking photos to post online instead of enjoying moments. Phones distract us from real feelings and communication, which keeps us away from the beautiful world around us.
【导语】文章作者通过自己的经历感悟到不要让手机隔绝人与真实世界,最美的回忆留存于心中而非镜头里。
40. 考查细节理解。根据第一段“They were taking photos — dozens of them — framing the artwork and adjusting angles, all without pausing to actually see the painting itself.(他们不停地拍照,拍了几十张,对着画作构图取景、调整角度,却全然没有停下来好好欣赏这幅画作本身。)”可知,美术馆里的青少年只顾给画作拍照、调整角度,没有停下来认真欣赏画作。
41. 考查细节理解。根据第三段“That night, I realized I had prioritized sharing the moment over living it.(那天晚上,我意识到我只顾着分享当下,却忘了用心感受当下。)”可知,音乐节结束后,作者意识到自己本末倒置,更在意分享瞬间,而不是亲身享受当下。
42. 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“So, I have made a promise to myself: to put my phone down more often and be fully present in those times that make life meaningful.(于是我对自己许下承诺:多放下手机,全身心沉浸在那些赋予生活意义的美好时刻里。)”可知,作者决定放下手机,亲身感受美好时刻,而不是继续拍照记录,因此原句中 keep records of the meaningful moments表述错误。
43. 考查开放性试题。可以参考的答案是:是的,我很赞同。很多人只顾着拍照发网上,却不去享受当下的时刻。手机让我们无法专注于真实的情感交流,也让我们渐渐远离了身边美好的世界。(答案不唯一,言之有理即可)
Passage 2
(2026·北京西城·二模)
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 will set earlier deadlines and make detailed plans ahead to avoid being delayed all the time.
【导语】本文介绍了何为时间性格,列举四种常见的时间性格类型,分析影响人们时间感知差异的各类因素,并指出人们可以合理利用自身时间性格做好时间管理。
40. 考查细节理解。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克里斯汀・安德森认为,时间性格是我们在管理时间方面与生俱来的行事风格。)” 可直接得出答案。
41. 考查细节理解。根据原文第二段 “Here’s a brief overview of four common time personalities.” 以及后文依次介绍的四类性格可知,文中一共提及四种时间性格。
42. 考查细节判断与改错。根据原文第三段 “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.(这是因为成年人新鲜经历变少,多巴胺新陈代谢变慢,这会让人觉得时间过得比实际更快。)” 可知成年人会感觉时间过得更快,原句中 more slowly 表述错误。
43. 考查开放性表达。结合自身情况选择合适的时间性格,再写出对应的时间管理改进方法,字数控制在 40 词左右,语句通顺、逻辑合理即可。
Passage 3
(2026·北京海淀·二模)
Fast fashion has made it easy for consumers to purchase new clothing frequently and at low cost. But today many people are now seeking something better: clothes that last, are made with intention, and carry real meaning. This is why craftsmanship is coming back.
One visible expression of this shift is the renewed interest in repairing garments. From patching worn spots to adding personal embroidery (刺绣), people are doing it for fun or making their own style. With visible mending, they are not hiding the damage, but showing the story. This hands-on engagement fosters a deeper connection between individuals and their clothing. People no longer just want to wear clothes — they want to be part of them.
The appreciation for craftsmanship is not limited to personal practices, but extends to a broader cultural reevaluation of fashion traditions. Techniques and styles once dismissed as outdated are now increasingly valued for their detail, history, and authenticity. In contrast to the uniformity promoted by fast fashion, many consumers are turning toward garments that carry culture, family stories, and time-honored skills. You see them in handmade jackets and detailed weaving.
Sustainability is another major driver of the revival. Fast fashion generates enormous waste and environmental harm, while handcrafted pieces frequently use natural and recycled materials. Many are made to order, eliminating excess production, and most can be repaired and passed down rather than thrown away. Choosing handmade is gentler on the planet and better to the people making the clothes. While big retailers still push out the most clothes, smaller brands are changing the game — not by volume, but by values. They focus on quality over quantity, working with skilled local makers and using materials that last. To avoid waste, many of them slow down production, skip the constant trend-chasing, and even offer pre-orders, which is gaining popularity for letting people wear something real.
In a world full of quick, disposable goods, the comeback of craftsmanship represents not a passing trend, but a fundamental shift toward meaning, responsibility, and lasting value in fashion.
40. What kind of clothes are many people looking for today?
__________________________________________________________________________
41. Apart from personal interest, what other factors contribute to the comeback of craftsmanship?
__________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Many smaller fashion brands slow down production and even offer pre-orders to gain popularity.
__________________________________________________________________________
43. How will you apply craftsmanship in another field besides fashion? (In about 40 words)
__________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Many people today are looking for clothes that last, are made with intention, and carry real meaning. / Garments that carry culture, family stories, and time-honored skills.
41. A broader cultural reevaluation and sustainability.
42. Many smaller fashion brands slow down production and even offer pre-orders to gain popularity.
According to the passage, many smaller brands slow down production and even offer pre-orders to avoid waste.
43. I will apply craftsmanship in home decoration. I’ll pick natural materials like bamboo and stone. Then, I’ll use hand-carving and weaving techniques to make unique decorations, adding a natural and artistic touch to my home.
【导语】文章阐述匠心工艺回归时尚的原因、表现及深远意义。
40. 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“But today many people are now seeking something better: clothes that last, are made with intention, and carry real meaning. (但如今许多人正在寻找更好的东西:耐穿的、用心制作的、承载真正意义的衣服。)”以及第三段中“In contrast to the uniformity promoted by fast fashion, many consumers are turning toward garments that carry culture, family stories, and time-honored skills. (与快时尚推崇的千篇一律不同,如今许多消费者转而选择承载文化底蕴、家族故事与传统精湛工艺的服饰。)”可知,如今许多人正在寻找耐穿、用心制作且具有真正意义的衣服,或者寻找承载文化、家庭故事和传统技艺的服装。
41. 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The appreciation for craftsmanship is not limited to personal practices, but extends to a broader cultural reevaluation of fashion traditions. (对手工艺的欣赏不仅限于个人实践,还扩展到对时尚传统的更广泛的文化重新评估。)”以及第四段中“Sustainability is another major driver of the revival. (可持续性是这一复兴的另一个主要驱动因素。)”可知,除了个人兴趣,更广泛的文化重新评估和可持续性也是促进手工艺回归的因素。
42. 考查细节理解。句意:许多小型时尚品牌放慢生产速度,甚至提供预订服务是为了获得人气。根据第四段中“To avoid waste, many of them slow down production, skip the constant trend-chasing, and even offer pre-orders, which is gaining popularity for letting people wear something real. (为了避免浪费,它们中的许多品牌放慢了生产速度,不再盲目追逐潮流,甚至提供预订服务——这种做法正越来越受欢迎,因为它让人们能够穿上真正有意义的衣物。)”可知,小型品牌这样做的主要目的是为了避免浪费,而不是为了获得人气。因此原句中的“to gain popularity”是错误的,应改为“to avoid waste”。
43. 开放性题目。此题要求提出除时尚领域外在其他领域应用手工艺的方案,答案不唯一,合理即可。例如,我会将手工艺应用于家居装饰中。我会选用竹子、石头等天然材料,然后运用手工雕刻和编织技艺制作独特的装饰品,为家增添一份自然与艺术的气息。
Passage 4
(2026·北京朝阳·二模)
In undergraduate and graduate school, I had always thought I’d be fulfilled when I finished a course, published an article, or completed a certification. However, it was just my false belief that achieving a specific goal would bring lasting satisfaction. While setting and reaching goals did provide me with a temporary sense of accomplishment, the anticipated happiness wore off quickly, leaving me discouraged. Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, a positive psychology expert, coined the term Arrival Fallacy to describe this false belief.
Since our brains are wired to adapt quickly to new circumstances, what once seemed like the ultimate achievement quickly becomes the new normal, and we set our sights on the next milestone, unknowingly maintaining a cycle of discontent. This happens in many areas of our daily life, such as personal relationships, fitness goals, and career advancements. The anticipated joy of arrival never quite delivers as expected.
The Arrival Fallacy can lead to negative consequences in several ways. When we believe happiness is always in the future, we might find ourselves always trapped in a state of discontent, which can cause constant stress. Also, if reaching a goal doesn’t bring lasting happiness, we may begin to wonder, “What’s the point?” This can lead to loss of motivation. When we achieve a long-sought goal and still don’t feel content, we may wrongly assume something is wrong with us rather than recognizing the fault in the expectation itself. This can result in negative self-perception.
The Arrival Fallacy is the deeply rooted yet misleading belief. By recognizing and addressing it, we can free ourselves from cycles of disappointment and help us lead more fulfilling lives with less unnecessary suffering.
40. What is Arrival Fallacy?
__________________________________________________________________________
41. What negative consequences does Arrival Fallacy lead to?
__________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Our brains are wired to adapt quickly to new circumstances, so we choose to set our sights on the next milestone, unknowingly maintaining a cycle of satisfaction.
__________________________________________________________________________
43. Use an example to show how you can overcome Arrival Fallacy in your life. (In about 40 words)
__________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Arrival Fallacy is the false belief that achieving a specific goal will bring lasting satisfaction.
41. It can lead to constant stress, loss of motivation and negative self-perception.
42. Our brains are wired to adapt quickly to new circumstances, so we choose to set our sights on the next milestone, unknowingly maintaining a cycle of satisfaction.
Reason: Our brains are wired to adapt quickly to new circumstances, so we choose to set our sights on the next milestone, unknowingly maintaining a cycle of discontent.
43. When I got a high exam score but didn’t feel long-term happiness, I realized I fell into Arrival Fallacy. Now I focus on progress and efforts instead of results, enjoying the learning process.
【导语】文章介绍积极心理学中的抵达谬误,解释其含义、形成原因,讲述它带来的诸多消极影响,并点明认清该错误观念能帮助人们收获充实幸福的生活。
40. 考查细节理解。根据第一段中However, it was just my false belief that achieving a specific goal would bring lasting satisfaction.(然而,认为实现特定目标就能获得长久满足感只是我的错误想法。)以及Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, a positive psychology expert, coined the term Arrival Fallacy to describe this false belief.(积极心理学专家塔尔・本・沙哈尔博士创造了抵达谬误一词来形容这种错误观念。)可知,抵达谬误指认为实现特定目标就能获得长久满足感的错误想法。
41. 考查细节理解。根据第三段中which can cause constant stress.(这会造成持续的压力。)、This can lead to loss of motivation.(这会让人丧失动力。)以及This can result in negative self-perception.(这还会让人产生消极的自我认知。)可知,抵达谬误带来的负面影响有造成持续压力、使人丧失动力以及形成消极的自我认知。
42. 考查细节判断。句意:人类大脑天生能快速适应新环境,因此我们着眼于下一个目标,不知不觉陷入满足的循环之中。根据第二段中unknowingly maintaining a cycle of discontent.(不知不觉陷入不满的循环之中。)可知,人们不断追逐新目标陷入的是不满循环,并非满足循环,因此句中satisfaction表述错误。
43. 开放性表达。本题要求结合自身生活举例说明如何克服抵达谬误,言之有理、语句通顺、词数符合要求即可。示例中不再只看重最终考试成绩,而是享受学习过程,正视点滴进步,以此摆脱一味追逐目标的错误心态。
Passage 5
(2026·北京石景山·二模)
Emma, a Brookfield High School student from Canada, decided that she would devote herself to reducing food waste so that she could make a meaningful difference in her community.
To tackle the problem, Emma planned to create a school composting system that could turn cafeteria leftovers into soil for the school garden. Now her plan is becoming a reality. Ten compost bins are scheduled to be installed around campus in early April.
As she began researching food waste, Emma discovered an online tool that helped schools estimate how much waste they produced each week. After entering data from her school cafeteria, she realised that hundreds of kilogrammes of food were being thrown away every month. At the suggestion of her biology teacher, Karen Mills, she first conducted a survey among students and staff to learn more about their eating habits and attitudes toward recycling. Then she continued her research, contacting a local environmental group for advice on composting equipment and maintenance. Since she did not have enough money to begin the project, she persuaded Brookfield’s principal to support her after explaining how the system could benefit both the school and the neighbourhood.
Because the school provided the initial funding for the bins and basic equipment, the project has grown to include a student volunteer team responsible for collecting and sorting food waste. The finished compost is expected to be used in the school garden, where vegetables and flowers will be grown for science lessons and community events.
“It feels amazing to think that an idea I had during lunch one day could turn into something this useful,” said Emma, expressing thanks for Mills’ guidance.
40. What was Emma’s plan for reducing food waste at school?
__________________________________________________________________
41. How did Emma convince the principal to support her project?
__________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
After receiving advice from a local environmental group, Emma conducted a survey among students and staff to learn more about their eating habits and attitudes.
__________________________________________________________________
43. What can you learn from Emma’s story about solving problems in daily life? (In about 40 words)
__________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Her plan was to create a school composting system that could turn cafeteria leftovers into soil for the school garden.
41. She persuaded the principal by explaining how the system could benefit both the school and the neighbourhood.
42. After receiving advice from a local environmental group, Emma conducted a survey among students and staff to learn more about their eating habits and attitudes. Because she conducted the survey before contacting the local environmental group.
43. From Emma's story, I learn that solving daily problems requires initiative and perseverance. By researching thoroughly, seeking guidance from teachers, and communicating effectively with decision-makers, we can turn small ideas into meaningful changes that benefit our community.
【导语】文章主要讲述了Emma在校推行堆肥计划减少食物浪费并取得成功的故事。
40. 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Emma planned to create a school composting system that could turn cafeteria leftovers into soil for the school garden.(Emma计划创建一个学校堆肥系统,将食堂剩菜变成学校花园的土壤)”可知,Emma的计划是建立校园堆肥系统,把食堂残余食物转化为花园用土。故答案为Her plan was to create a school composting system that could turn cafeteria leftovers into soil for the school garden.
41. 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Since she did not have enough money to begin the project, she persuaded Brookfield’s principal to support her after explaining how the system could benefit both the school and the neighbourhood.(由于她没有足够的钱开始这个项目,她在解释了该系统如何使学校和社区受益后,说服Brookfield的校长支持她)”以及第四段中“Because the school provided the initial funding for the bins and basic equipment, the project has grown to include a student volunteer team responsible for collecting and sorting food waste.(由于学校为垃圾箱和基本设备提供了初始资金,该项目已经发展到包括一个负责收集和分类食物垃圾的学生志愿者团队)”可知,Emma向校长解释了系统对学校和社区的双重好处,并指出学校只需提供初始资金。故答案为She persuaded the principal by explaining how the system could benefit both the school and the neighbourhood.
42. 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“After entering data from her school cafeteria, she realised that hundreds of kilogrammes of food were being thrown away every month. At the suggestion of her biology teacher, Karen Mills, she first conducted a survey among students and staff to learn more about their eating habits and attitudes toward recycling. Then she continued her research, contacting a local environmental group for advice on composting equipment and maintenance.(在输入学校自助餐厅的数据后,她意识到每个月都有数百公斤的食物被扔掉。在生物老师凯伦·米尔斯的建议下,她首先对学生和教职员工进行了一项调查,以了解他们的饮食习惯和对回收的态度。然后,她继续她的研究,联系当地一个环保组织,寻求堆肥设备和维护方面的建议)”可知,Emma做调查在前,联系环保组织需求意见在后,原句颠倒了时间顺序。故答案为After receiving advice from a local environmental group, Emma conducted a survey among students and staff to learn more about their eating habits and attitudes. Because she conducted the survey before contacting the local environmental group.
43. 开放性试题。本题为开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。根据全文,Emma发现食物浪费问题后,主动研究、做调查、联系专家、说服校长,最终将想法变成现实。故事告诉我们解决日常问题需要主动性、调查研究、寻求帮助和有效沟通。故答案为From Emma’s story, I learn that solving daily problems requires initiative and perseverance. By researching thoroughly, seeking guidance from teachers, and communicating effectively with decision-makers, we can turn small ideas into meaningful changes that benefit our community.
Passage 6
(2026·北京顺义·二模)
From the earliest cave paintings to our ancestors’ oral storytelling traditions, we’ve always found ways to communicate our experiences to others. Social media has intensified this urge to extraordinary levels.
In the pre-digital age, privacy was a default (默认) state. Sharing information required effort. Now, privacy requires effort. We have to actively choose not to share, to resist the urge to post, to keep our thoughts and experiences to ourselves.
This switch has significant implications. When sharing is the default, we share without thinking, flooding our networks with a constant stream of information. Some of it is harmless, but much of it is deeply personal. Relationships are ended because of misinterpreted posts. Reputations are damaged by ill-considered updates. A lot of folks have fallen victim to their own oversharing.
And the risks aren’t just external (外部的). When we’re always performing our experiences for public consumption, we’re losing touch with our selves. We don’t value experiences for their inner worth—we value them only for their shareability. We judge our lives by how they look to others, not by how they feel to us.
The answer to all of this is simpler than you think: start a journal. In the oversharing era, journaling itself becomes a vital act of privacy, an intentional choice to keep our thoughts and experiences to ourselves. It provides a different kind of satisfaction. There’s no immediate feedback, no external validation. Instead, the reward comes from the act of writing itself, from the insight we gain through self-reflection.
In a society that increasingly values visibility over privacy, journaling is a restoration of something precious: the right to our own thoughts, our own experiences, our own inner lives.
40. What intensifies people’s urge to share information?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why does privacy require effort now?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Journaling provides us with satisfaction because we can get immediate approval from others.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
43. Besides journaling, how can you avoid oversharing on social media? (In about 40 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Social media.
41. Because (sharing has become a default state and) we have to actively choose not to share, to resist the urge to post, to keep our thoughts and experiences to ourselves.
42. Journaling provides us with satisfaction because we can get immediate approval from others.
Because we can get the reward from the act of writing itself, from the clarity and insight we gain through self-reflection.
43. Instead of posting personal feelings online, I would share them in face-to-face conversations with trusted friends or family, which strengthens our real-life bond and lowers the risk of oversharing. More importantly, it creates a safe space for more honest and supportive communication. (42)
【导语】本文主要探讨了社交媒体时代信息分享方式的转变及其带来的影响,并强调写日记作为一种保持私密性、回归内心生活的重要性。
40. 考查细节理解。根据第一段“Social media has intensified this urge to extraordinary levels.(而社交媒体更是将这种渴望推向了前所未有的高度。)”可知,社交媒体增强了人们分享信息的欲望。
41. 考查细节理解。根据第二段“In the pre-digital age, privacy was a default (默认) state. Sharing information required effort. Now, privacy requires effort. We have to actively choose not to share, to resist the urge to post, to keep our thoughts and experiences to ourselves.(在数字化时代之前,隐私是一种默认的状态。分享信息需要付出努力。而如今,保护隐私也需要付出努力。我们必须主动选择不分享信息,抵制发布内容的冲动,将自己的想法和经历藏于心底。)”可知,现在保护隐私需要付出努力是因为(分享已成为一种默认的状态),所以我们必须主动选择不去分享,必须克制住想要发布内容的冲动,必须将我们的想法和经历藏在心底。
42. 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“There’s no immediate feedback, no external validation. Instead, the reward comes from the act of writing itself, from the insight we gain through self-reflection.(没有即时的反馈,也没有外界的认可。相反,其回报来自于写作这一行为本身,来自于通过自我反思所获得的洞察。)”可知,错误的部分是“because we can get immediate approval from others”,写日记能带来一种别样的满足感是因为我们能够从写作这一行为本身中获得回报,从通过自我反思所获得的清晰思路和深刻见解中获得回报。
43. 考查开放性试题。可参考的答案是:为了避免在社交媒体上过度分享个人信息,我不会将个人情感发布到网上,而是会与可信赖的朋友或家人进行面对面的交流来表达这些情感,这样能加强我们现实生活中的关系,同时也能降低过度分享的风险。更重要的是,这为更坦诚和相互支持的交流创造了一个安全的空间。(答案不唯一,言之有理即可)

Last month, I visited a well-known art museum in the city with my wife. As we stood before a priceless impressionist painting, I noticed something strange: nearly every teenager around us was not looking at the paintings. Their arms extended, and their eyes were fixed on the small screens of their cellphones. They were taking photos — dozens of them — framing the artwork and adjusting angles, all without pausing to actually see the painting itself.
This scene made me wonder: have we, as a generation, lost the ability to experience life directly? It seems that for many of us, an event is not real unless it is documented and shared on social media. We don’t just go to a concert; we capture it to post online. We don’t just watch a sunset; we film it for the social media platform.
I used to be one of those people. Last summer, I went to a music festival and spent the entire night holding my phone above my head, trying to record every song. When I got home, I was exhausted — and disappointed. My videos were shaky, the audio was terrible, and I couldn’t remember a single note I had “watched” live. Worse, I had missed the chance to dance with my friends or feel the music in my bones. That night, I realized I had prioritized sharing the moment over living it.
So, I have made a promise to myself: to put my phone down more often and be fully present in those times that make life meaningful. We need to look at the painting instead of photographing it, and dance to the music instead of recording it. Why let our phone cameras become a barrier between us and the world? After all, the best memories are not the ones we capture on camera — they are the ones we capture in our hearts.

Passage 2

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?

Passage 3

Fast fashion has made it easy for consumers to purchase new clothing frequently and at low cost. But today many people are now seeking something better: clothes that last, are made with intention, and carry real meaning. This is why craftsmanship is coming back.
One visible expression of this shift is the renewed interest in repairing garments. From patching worn spots to adding personal embroidery (刺绣), people are doing it for fun or making their own style. With visible mending, they are not hiding the damage, but showing the story. This hands-on engagement fosters a deeper connection between individuals and their clothing. People no longer just want to wear clothes — they want to be part of them.
The appreciation for craftsmanship is not limited to personal practices, but extends to a broader cultural reevaluation of fashion traditions. Techniques and styles once dismissed as outdated are now increasingly valued for their detail, history, and authenticity. In contrast to the uniformity promoted by fast fashion, many consumers are turning toward garments that carry culture, family stories, and time-honored skills. You see them in handmade jackets and detailed weaving.
Sustainability is another major driver of the revival. Fast fashion generates enormous waste and environmental harm, while handcrafted pieces frequently use natural and recycled materials. Many are made to order, eliminating excess production, and most can be repaired and passed down rather than thrown away. Choosing handmade is gentler on the planet and better to the people making the clothes. While big retailers still push out the most clothes, smaller brands are changing the game — not by volume, but by values. They focus on quality over quantity, working with skilled local makers and using materials that last. To avoid waste, many of them slow down production, skip the constant trend-chasing, and even offer pre-orders, which is gaining popularity for letting people wear something real.
In a world full of quick, disposable goods, the comeback of craftsmanship represents not a passing trend, but a fundamental shift toward meaning, responsibility, and lasting value in fashion.

Passage 4
(2026·北京朝阳·二模)
In undergraduate and graduate school, I had always thought I’d be fulfilled when I finished a course, published an article, or completed a certification. However, it was just my false belief that achieving a specific goal would bring lasting satisfaction. While setting and reaching goals did provide me with a temporary sense of accomplishment, the anticipated happiness wore off quickly, leaving me discouraged. Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, a positive psychology expert, coined the term Arrival Fallacy to describe this false belief.
Since our brains are wired to adapt quickly to new circumstances, what once seemed like the ultimate achievement quickly becomes the new normal, and we set our sights on the next milestone, unknowingly maintaining a cycle of discontent. This happens in many areas of our daily life, such as personal relationships, fitness goals, and career advancements. The anticipated joy of arrival never quite delivers as expected.
The Arrival Fallacy can lead to negative consequences in several ways. When we believe happiness is always in the future, we might find ourselves always trapped in a state of discontent, which can cause constant stress. Also, if reaching a goal doesn’t bring lasting happiness, we may begin to wonder, “What’s the point?” This can lead to loss of motivation. When we achieve a long-sought goal and still don’t feel content, we may wrongly assume something is wrong with us rather than recognizing the fault in the expectation itself. This can result in negative self-perception.
The Arrival Fallacy is the deeply rooted yet misleading belief. By recognizing and addressing it, we can free ourselves from cycles of disappointment and help us lead more fulfilling lives with less unnecessary suffering.

Passage 5
(2026·北京石景山·二模)
Emma, a Brookfield High School student from Canada, decided that she would devote herself to reducing food waste so that she could make a meaningful difference in her community.
To tackle the problem, Emma planned to create a school composting system that could turn cafeteria leftovers into soil for the school garden. Now her plan is becoming a reality. Ten compost bins are scheduled to be installed around campus in early April.
As she began researching food waste, Emma discovered an online tool that helped schools estimate how much waste they produced each week. After entering data from her school cafeteria, she realised that hundreds of kilogrammes of food were being thrown away every month. At the suggestion of her biology teacher, Karen Mills, she first conducted a survey among students and staff to learn more about their eating habits and attitudes toward recycling. Then she continued her research, contacting a local environmental group for advice on composting equipment and maintenance. Since she did not have enough money to begin the project, she persuaded Brookfield’s principal to support her after explaining how the system could benefit both the school and the neighbourhood.
Because the school provided the initial funding for the bins and basic equipment, the project has grown to include a student volunteer team responsible for collecting and sorting food waste. The finished compost is expected to be used in the school garden, where vegetables and flowers will be grown for science lessons and community events.
“It feels amazing to think that an idea I had during lunch one day could turn into something this useful,” said Emma, expressing thanks for Mills’ guidance.

Passage 6
(2026·北京顺义·二模)
From the earliest cave paintings to our ancestors’ oral storytelling traditions, we’ve always found ways to communicate our experiences to others. Social media has intensified this urge to extraordinary levels.
In the pre-digital age, privacy was a default (默认) state. Sharing information required effort. Now, privacy requires effort. We have to actively choose not to share, to resist the urge to post, to keep our thoughts and experiences to ourselves.
This switch has significant implications. When sharing is the default, we share without thinking, flooding our networks with a constant stream of information. Some of it is harmless, but much of it is deeply personal. Relationships are ended because of misinterpreted posts. Reputations are damaged by ill-considered updates. A lot of folks have fallen victim to their own oversharing.
And the risks aren’t just external (外部的). When we’re always performing our experiences for public consumption, we’re losing touch with our selves. We don’t value experiences for their inner worth—we value them only for their shareability. We judge our lives by how they look to others, not by how they feel to us.
The answer to all of this is simpler than you think: start a journal. In the oversharing era, journaling itself becomes a vital act of privacy, an intentional choice to keep our thoughts and experiences to ourselves. It provides a different kind of satisfaction. There’s no immediate feedback, no external validation. Instead, the reward comes from the act of writing itself, from the insight we gain through self-reflection.
In a society that increasingly values visibility over privacy, journaling is a restoration of something precious: the right to our own thoughts, our own experiences, our own inner lives.

41. Why does privacy require effort now?
