(可选择各种环境项目，涵盖湖泊、昆虫、植物、森林、动物等主题。)”可知，Devonian Botanic Garden的特色是“以自然为核心的教育项目”。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Prairie Gardens and Greenhouses部分中的“Prairie Gardens and Greenhouses offers a variety of fun activities, including egg collecting, apple picking, horseback riding, exploring big corn mazes (迷宫) in autumn, and enjoying country BBQs over a campfire. (Prairie Gardens and Greenhouses提供多种有趣的活动，包括捡鸡蛋、摘苹果、骑马、秋天探索大型玉米迷宫，以及在篝火旁享用乡村烧烤。)”可知，Prairie Gardens and Greenhouses有典型的农场趣味活动，最适合寻求农场体验的孩子。故选D项。 B When I was a kid, my dad was in the Air Force and we moved every few years. It was scaring because that meant getting used to a wholly new community and a wholly new school. It was always a struggle to find where I fit in. Already shy, I didn’t have much self-confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot. I was nearly hit. But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of my nervousness. There are always things that make you nervous and uncertain. That’s life. Even in my lucky life, I still have those feelings — at the beginning of the new sports season, or making important decisions. I keep a small group of really good friends. Most have been my teammates for years. We have shared a lot together. They have seen the good, the bad and the ugly sides of me, and they still accept me. They have taught me that it’s how you treat others that makes you valuable in life. Throughout our lives, our self-esteem goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel successful. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a wonderful way to build up our sense of self-confidence. We get to set goals for ourselves, we feel good about our accomplishments, and we learn that after today’s failure there’s tomorrow’s chance. 4. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling every time she moved? A. Content B. Angry. C. Anxious. D. Grateful. 5. What can be implied from Paragraph 2? A. The author was good at playing soccer. B. People are fond of playing sports C. The author was far better at soccer than others. D. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. 6. The underlined word “self-esteem” in the last paragraph probably means _________. A. self-awareness B. self-confidence C. self-defense D. self-education 7. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. On self-esteem and sport. B. On ways to make friends. C. On valuable lessons in life. D. On success and failure. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者经常搬家，在新的学校不适应，但是由于喜欢踢足球，帮助作者树立了自信。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It was scaring because that meant getting used to a wholly new community and a wholly new school.  It was always a struggle to find where I fit in. Already shy, I didn’t have much self-confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot. I was nearly hit.(这让人感到很害怕，因为这意味着要适应一个全新的社区和一所全新的学校。一直以来，我都很难确定自己该融入到怎样的群体中去。本来就有些害羞的我，对于结交朋友的能力更是缺乏自信。我就是那个低着头走在走廊里的女孩。当我开口说话时，你的耳朵几乎听不到我那轻柔的声音。我非常紧张，常常怀疑自己。我还差点被撞到。)”可知，作者每次搬家的感受是焦虑，恐惧的。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of my nervousness.(但我有足球。无论走到哪里，我都知道凭借足球我就能融入新的环境。足球队对我来说意味着一个熟悉的地方和即刻就能交到的朋友。我能在球场上表达自己。努力踢球帮助我摆脱了紧张。)”可知，第二段里暗示了作者擅长踢足球。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“when we feel like a failure(当我们觉得自己是个失败者的时候)”以及“it goes up when we feel successful. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves(当我们感到成功时，它就会上升。我们都需要去探索那些能让我们擅长某事、并对自己感觉良好的机会)”可知，当我们感到失败时，我们的自信心会下降，当我们感到成功时，自信心会上升，划线词self-esteem的意思是“自尊”，和self-confidence意思相近。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Physical activity and sport participation is a wonderful way to build up our sense of self-confidence. We get to set goals for ourselves, we feel good about our accomplishments, and we learn that after today’s failure there’s tomorrow’s chance.(体育活动和运动参与是建立我们自信心的绝佳方式。我们可以为自己设定目标，为自己的成就感到高兴，并且我们明白：今天的失败之后，还有明天的机会。)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者经常搬家，在新的学校不适应，但是由于喜欢踢足球，帮助作者树立了自信，因此最好的题目是A选项“On self-esteem and sport.(关于自尊与体育。)”。 C World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year, and the problem of sleep deprivation (缺乏) among teenagers has come into focus. Many teenagers feel sleepy during the day because of busy schedules filled with homework, extracurricular activities and the temptation (诱惑) to use electronic devices. A report issued (发布) by the Chinese Sleep Research Society on March 16 showed that more than half of young people born after 2000 in China fall asleep after midnight, reported Shanghai Observer. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep, according to USAFacts. Quality sleep is important for people of any age, but especially so for teenagers. They need nine to ten hours of sleep each day to function (运转) at their best, said the US National Institutes of Health. This is more than what they need both as children and later as adults because of the deep mental, physical, social and emotional development that takes place during adolescence, said the website Sleep Foundation. For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance by improving attention, memory and thinking skills. It helps sharpen the mind and facilitates learning. Besides helping with learning, sleep also supports teenagers’ creative abilities. This link (联系) was first studied in the late 20th century when researchers at Loughborough University in the UK compared creative performance between sleep-deprived people and those who slept normally. The first group scored (得分) lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They often repeated the same mistakes and had trouble coming up with new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) identified a stage of sleep called “sleep onset (开端)”, which provides a special time for creativity. This phase (阶段) happens when we are between being awake and asleep. The MIT team found that when people are prompted (促使) to dream about a certain topic during sleep onset, they perform more creatively on related tasks after waking up, reported MIT News. 8. All of the following are factors resulting in teenagers’ sleep deprivation EXCEPT _________. A. heavy homework load B. late-night use of smartphones C. early school start time D. participation in after-school sports 9. How did sleep-deprived individuals perform based on the Loughborough University study? A. Higher scores but less creative. B. Poorer performance with repeated errors. C. Average results yet innovative. D. Unchanged creativity and declined memory. 10. What did the MIT team discover about the “sleep onset” stage? A. It only occurs in teenagers. B. It provides a chance for creativity. C. It is the deepest stage of sleep. D. It helps people remember dreams better. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of quality sleep for teenagers. B. The importance of sleep for academic performance. C. The link between quality sleep and creativity. D. The sleep patterns and stages of global teenagers. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了世界睡眠日背景下青少年睡眠不足的问题、成因，以及优质睡眠对青少年的重要性和与创造力的关联。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Many teenagers feel sleepy during the day because of busy schedules filled with homework, extracurricular activities and the temptation (诱惑) to use electronic devices.(许多青少年白天感到困倦，因为他们的日程安排很繁忙，充满了家庭作业、课外活动以及使用电子设备的诱惑)”可知，家庭作业负担、电子设备的使用、课外活动是导致青少年睡眠不足的因素。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This link (联系) was first studied in the late 20th century when researchers at Loughborough University in the UK compared creative performance between sleep-deprived people and those who slept normally.The first group scored (得分) lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They often repeated the same mistakes and had trouble coming up with new ideas.(这一关联最早在 20 世纪末得到研究，英国拉夫堡大学的研究人员对比了睡眠不足人群与正常睡眠人群的创造力表现。第一组在托兰斯创造性思维测试中得分较低。他们经常重复同样的错误，并且难以想出新的想法)”可知，根据拉夫堡大学的研究，睡眠不足的人表现更差，会重复犯错。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) identified a stage of sleep called “sleep onset (开端)”, which provides a special time for creativity.(最近，在2023年，麻省理工学院由凯瑟琳·埃斯法哈尼领导的一个团队发现了一个被称为“睡眠开端”的睡眠阶段，这个阶段为创造力提供了一个特殊的时间)”可知，麻省理工学院的团队发现“睡眠开端”阶段为创造力提供了机会。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year, and the problem of sleep deprivation(不足) among teenagers has come into focus.(今年的世界睡眠日是3月21日，而青少年睡眠不足的问题也成为了人们关注的焦点)”可知，文章开篇指出今年3月21 日世界睡眠日，青少年睡眠不足问题受到关注，接着讲述了导致青少年睡眠不足的因素，如作业多、课外活动和使用电子设备等，然后阐述了睡眠对青少年的重要性，包括对学习表现、创造力等方面的影响。所以本篇文章主要介绍优质睡眠对青少年的重要性。 D At a bus stop or while waiting in line, most people look down and scroll on their phones. But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may get some real benefits. We spend nearly half of our waking hours daydreaming, but it is not always pleasant. One study found that people even preferred electric shocks to being alone with their own thoughts. This helps explain why we automatically reach for our phones during free moments. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — it feels good for a moment but has no real meaning. She adds that human achievements mostly come from higher-order thinking. So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often too strong. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing. Yet after the time was up, they reported more enjoyment than they had expected. Researcher Kou Murayama says the ability to let your mind wander — to think about past experiences and consider other people’s views — is a special human ability. It improves learning and helps us understand others. Mind-wandering is also important for solving problems. People often find better solutions after unfocused thinking than by only trying hard. This is especially true during routine activities like driving or showering. Even when we are not actively thinking, our brain stays active in a “default mode”. This allows ideas to connect in new ways, which is very helpful for complex problems. Besides cognitive benefits, daydreaming also strengthens social and emotional connections. One study found that imagining happy interactions with loved ones made people feel closer to them. Social daydreaming lets us practice conversations, think about past talks, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us handle the social world better. Murayama says he now tries not to check his phone during short waits. Instead, he lets his thoughts wander. He finds that simply entertaining yourself in your own mind can be both satisfying and meaningful. 12. Why does Erin Westgate call mindless scrolling “brain candy”? A. It is bad for your health. B. It helps people avoid boredom. C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life. D. It gives quick but shallow pleasure. 13. What did the 2022 study show? A. Phone addiction could be avoided. B. Daydreaming was not valued enough. C. Being alone helped learning. D. Self-reflection made us human. 14. What does the “default mode” of the brain suggest? A. Unfocused thinking can increase creativity. B. Trying hard always brings new ideas. C. Hard tasks need an active mind. D. Routine tasks require little brain activity. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Stay Focused in the Digital Age. B. Discover the Joy of Truly Being Alone. C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind. D. Explore the Hidden Benefits of Social Daydreaming. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了让思绪漫游(做白日梦)对认知、情感和社交的多方面益处，并鼓励人们放下手机进行思考。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — it feels good for a moment but has no real meaning. (社会心理学教授Erin Westgate将无意识的刷屏比作“大脑糖果”——它当下感觉良好，但没有任何实际意义)”可知，Erin Westgate将无意识刷屏称为“大脑糖果”是因为它能带来短暂而肤浅的快乐，没有任何实际意义。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often too strong. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing. Yet after the time was up, they reported more enjoyment than they had expected. Researcher Kou Murayama says the ability to let your mind wander — to think about past experiences and consider other people’s views — is a special human ability. It improves learning and helps us understand others.(许多人对无聊感到恐惧，但这种恐惧往往被放大了。在2022年的一项研究中，人们预测自己会讨厌独自无所事事地待上20分钟。然而，时间结束后，他们报告的享受程度却超出了预期。研究员Kou Murayama表示，让思绪游离的能力——思考过去的经历、考虑他人的观点——是一种特殊的人类能力。它能提高学习效率，并帮助我们理解他人)”可知，在2022年的研究中，人们先是预测自己会讨厌独处时光，但后来发现这种独处带来的思绪游离能带来快乐，能提高学习效率，并帮助我们理解他人，说明思绪游离(做白日梦)没有得到人们的足够重视。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Mind-wandering is also important for solving problems. People often find better solutions after unfocused thinking than by only trying hard. This is especially true during routine activities like driving or showering. Even when we are not actively thinking, our brain stays active in a “default mode”. This allows ideas to connect in new ways, which is very helpful for complex problems. (走神对于解决问题也很重要。与仅靠刻苦努力相比，人们往往在思维不聚焦后能想到更好的解决方案。这在开车或洗澡等日常活动中尤其明显。即使我们没有积极思考，我们的大脑仍然处于“默认模式”的活跃状态。这使得想法能够以新的方式连接，对解决复杂问题非常有帮助)”可知，大脑的“默认模式”使得想法能够以新的方式连接，有助于对解决复杂问题，这表明“默认模式”的大脑即便没有积极思考，没有进行聚焦思考，也可以增强创造力。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may get some real benefits. (但研究表明，如果你抵制住那种冲动，让思绪漫游，你可能会获得一些真正的好处)”、第五段“Mind-wandering is also important for solving problems. (思绪漫游对解决问题也很重要)”和第六段“Besides cognitive benefits, daydreaming also strengthens social and emotional connections. (除了认知方面的好处，做白日梦还能加强社交和情感联系)”可知，文章主要探讨了让思绪漫游(做白日梦)对解决问题、学习和社交的多重益处，旨在揭示思绪漫游的积极价值。故C项“Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind (释放你漫游思绪的力量)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 三、完形填空（共15分，每小题1分） Wang Shun became China’s first Olympic champion in the men’s individual medley event in Tokyo 2020.

My first impression of China was a mix of wonder and ____32____ (amaze) as I arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport on Aug 28, 2016. On the second day I arrived at Peking University where I did my IMBA. I met all kinds of ____33____ (challenge) in my first few months because of the language problem, ____34____ I was able to travel my way around quickly with the help of the friendly locals. These experiences in China have left a deep impression ____35____ me. One of the things I noticed was that Chinese people value education very much.

From primary schools to universities, much attention ____37____ (focus) highly on education in every family. So far the educational system in China has been designed ____38____ (ensure) that students are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in life. In conclusion, ____39____ (live) in China has been a truly unique and remarkable experience. I hope that my experiences will help people know more about this attractive country, ____40____ can inspire others to explore wonderful things. 【答案】31. a 32. amazement 33. challenges 34. but 35. on##upon 36. extremely 37. is focused 38. to ensure 39. living 40. which 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者在中国的经历和感受。 【31题详解】 考查冠词。句意：中国是一个文化丰富、历史悠久、风景优美的国家。country是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，空格处用不定冠词，country是辅音音素开头，不定冠词用a，故填a。 【32题详解】 考查名词。句意：2016年8月28日，当我抵达北京首都国际机场时，我对中国的第一印象是惊喜交集。空格处用名词作宾语，amaze的名词是amazement，意为“惊讶”，是不可数名词，故填amazement。 【33题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：在最初的几个月里，由于语言问题，我遇到了各种各样的挑战，但在友好的当地人的帮助下，我能够很快地四处旅行。challenge是可数名词，由all kinds of可知，用复数，故填challenges。 【34题详解】 考查连词。句意：在最初的几个月里，由于语言问题，我遇到了各种各样的挑战，但在友好的当地人的帮助下，我能够很快地四处旅行。由I was able to travel my way around quickly可知，前后句子是转折关系，因此空格处用but表转折，故填but。 【35题详解】 考查介词。句意：这些在中国的经历给我留下了深刻的印象。leave a deep impression on/upon是固定短语，意为“给……留下深刻的印象”，因此空格处用介词on/upon。故填on/upon。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：他们认为他们的学习是非常重要的，学校有一个有意义的课程。空格处用副词extremely修饰形容词important，extremely意为“非常”，故填extremely。 【37题详解】 考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：从小学到大学，每个家庭都非常重视教育。attention和focus之间是逻辑动宾关系，且句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态，主语attention是不可数名词，因此空格处是is focused。故填is focused。 【38题详解】 考查不定式。句意：到目前为止，中国的教育体系旨在确保学生具备在生活中取得成功所需的知识和技能。be designed to do意为“旨在做某事”，因此空格处用不定式to ensure。故填to ensure。 【39题详解】 考查动名词。句意：总之，在中国生活是一次真正独特而非凡的经历。空格处用动名词作主语，故填living。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：我希望我的经历能帮助人们更多地了解这个有吸引力的国家，激励其他人去探索美好的事物。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，先行词my experiences是物，因此空格处用关系代词which引导定语从句，故填which。 五、根据课文填空（共15分，每个空格1分） 根据课文内容填空 ____41____ (lose) two important players was a big challenge, ____42____ Lang Ping did not lose heart.

Jordan says the secret ________ his success is learning from his failures. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】to 【解析】 【详解】考查介词。句意：乔丹说他成功的秘诀是从失败中学习。the secret to…“……的秘诀”，是固定搭配，to为介词。故填to。 51. ________ (final), I ________ (stop)comparing myself with actresses and models. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】 ①. finally ②. stopped 【解析】 【详解】句意：最终，我不再拿自己和女演员、模特作比较。分析句子可知，第一空形容词final变为副词finally，作评注性状语，放句首修饰整个句子，意为“最终，最后”。第二空为叙述过去发生的人生转变，用一般过去时，stop的过去式为stopped。 52. So come and experience ________ Peru has to offer: everything from the ancient Inca culture and centuries-old Spanish villages ________ deep rainforests, high mountains, and a beautiful coastline. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】 ①. what ②. to 【解析】 【详解】句意：快来体验秘鲁所能带给你的一切：从古老的印加文化、百年西班牙古村落，到幽深雨林、巍峨群山与秀丽海岸线。分析句子可知，第一空experience后接宾语从句，从句Peru has to offer中 offer缺宾语，what在从句中作宾语，意为“…… 的事物”。第二空为固定搭配from...to...“从……到……”，是固定短语。 53. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and ________ (enjoy) the plants and animals. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】enjoying 【解析】 【详解】句意：句意：之后你可以花三天时间，在当地向导的带领下游览雨林，欣赏各类动植物。spend time doing sth.“花时间做某事”是固定搭配，空处用动名词enjoying和上文exploring并列作宾语。 54.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】 ①. leaving ②. begins 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们打算坐火车去，在十月假期开始前一天出发。第一空处作伴随状语，leave(离开)用非谓语形式，与其逻辑主语We之间是主动关系，用现在分词表主动；第二空处begin(开始)是时间状语从句中谓语动词，根据主将从现原则，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来，主语the October holiday是单数，谓语用单数形式begins。 六、根据提示填空（共8分，每个空格2分） 55. ________ ________ (特别令人惊叹的是……) is the Incas’ dry stone method of building. (根据汉语提示完成句子) 【答案】 ①. Especially ②. amazing 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词和副词。句意：尤其令人惊叹的是印加人的干石建筑方法。空处作表语，为平衡句子结构，置于句首，引起句子完全倒装，“令人惊叹的”应用形容词amazing，“特别”应用副词especially，且句首单词的首字母应大写。故填Especially amazing。 56. It is ________ (正因如此) that Spanish is the main official language of Peru. (根据汉语提示完成句子) 【答案】for this reason 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语。句意：正因如此，西班牙语是秘鲁的主要官方语言。该句子是强调句型，即it be+强调内容+that/who+句子其他，此处强调“正因如此”为介词短语for this reason，故填for this reason。 57.

B When I was a kid, my dad was in the Air Force and we moved every few years. It was scaring because that meant getting used to a wholly new community and a wholly new school. It was always a struggle to find where I fit in. Already shy, I didn’t have much self-confidence in my friend-making abilities. I was the girl walking in the halls with her head down. When I spoke, you could hardly hear my soft voice. I was nervous and doubted myself a lot. I was nearly hit. But what I did have was soccer. Wherever I went, I knew I could fit in with the soccer ball. The soccer team meant a familiar place and immediate friends for me. I could express myself on the field. Playing hard helped to get rid of my nervousness. There are always things that make you nervous and uncertain. That’s life. Even in my lucky life, I still have those feelings — at the beginning of the new sports season, or making important decisions. I keep a small group of really good friends. Most have been my teammates for years. We have shared a lot together. They have seen the good, the bad and the ugly sides of me, and they still accept me. They have taught me that it’s how you treat others that makes you valuable in life. Throughout our lives, our self-esteem goes down when we feel like a failure, and it goes up when we feel successful. We all need to explore opportunities where we can be good at something and feel good about ourselves. Physical activity and sport participation is a wonderful way to build up our sense of self-confidence. We get to set goals for ourselves, we feel good about our accomplishments, and we learn that after today’s failure there’s tomorrow’s chance. 4. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling every time she moved? A. Content B. Angry. C. Anxious. D. Grateful. 5. What can be implied from Paragraph 2? A. The author was good at playing soccer. B. People are fond of playing sports C. The author was far better at soccer than others. D. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. 6. The underlined word “self-esteem” in the last paragraph probably means _________. A. self-awareness B. self-confidence C. self-defense D. self-education 7. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. On self-esteem and sport. B. On ways to make friends. C. On valuable lessons in life. D. On success and failure. C World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year, and the problem of sleep deprivation (缺乏) among teenagers has come into focus. Many teenagers feel sleepy during the day because of busy schedules filled with homework, extracurricular activities and the temptation (诱惑) to use electronic devices. A report issued (发布) by the Chinese Sleep Research Society on March 16 showed that more than half of young people born after 2000 in China fall asleep after midnight, reported Shanghai Observer. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep, according to USAFacts. Quality sleep is important for people of any age, but especially so for teenagers. They need nine to ten hours of sleep each day to function (运转) at their best, said the US National Institutes of Health. This is more than what they need both as children and later as adults because of the deep mental, physical, social and emotional development that takes place during adolescence, said the website Sleep Foundation. For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance by improving attention, memory and thinking skills. It helps sharpen the mind and facilitates learning. Besides helping with learning, sleep also supports teenagers’ creative abilities. This link (联系) was first studied in the late 20th century when researchers at Loughborough University in the UK compared creative performance between sleep-deprived people and those who slept normally. The first group scored (得分) lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. They often repeated the same mistakes and had trouble coming up with new ideas. More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen Esfahany at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) identified a stage of sleep called “sleep onset (开端)”, which provides a special time for creativity. This phase (阶段) happens when we are between being awake and asleep. The MIT team found that when people are prompted (促使) to dream about a certain topic during sleep onset, they perform more creatively on related tasks after waking up, reported MIT News. 8. All of the following are factors resulting in teenagers’ sleep deprivation EXCEPT _________. A. heavy homework load B. late-night use of smartphones C. early school start time D. participation in after-school sports 9. How did sleep-deprived individuals perform based on the Loughborough University study? A. Higher scores but less creative. B. Poorer performance with repeated errors. C. Average results yet innovative. D. Unchanged creativity and declined memory. 10. What did the MIT team discover about the “sleep onset” stage? A. It only occurs in teenagers. B. It provides a chance for creativity. C. It is the deepest stage of sleep. D. It helps people remember dreams better. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of quality sleep for teenagers. B. The importance of sleep for academic performance. C. The link between quality sleep and creativity. D. The sleep patterns and stages of global teenagers. D At a bus stop or while waiting in line, most people look down and scroll on their phones. But studies suggest that if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, you may get some real benefits. We spend nearly half of our waking hours daydreaming, but it is not always pleasant. One study found that people even preferred electric shocks to being alone with their own thoughts. This helps explain why we automatically reach for our phones during free moments. Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — it feels good for a moment but has no real meaning. She adds that human achievements mostly come from higher-order thinking. So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander. Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often too strong. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing. Yet after the time was up, they reported more enjoyment than they had expected. Researcher Kou Murayama says the ability to let your mind wander — to think about past experiences and consider other people’s views — is a special human ability. It improves learning and helps us understand others. Mind-wandering is also important for solving problems. People often find better solutions after unfocused thinking than by only trying hard. This is especially true during routine activities like driving or showering. Even when we are not actively thinking, our brain stays active in a “default mode”. This allows ideas to connect in new ways, which is very helpful for complex problems. Besides cognitive benefits, daydreaming also strengthens social and emotional connections. One study found that imagining happy interactions with loved ones made people feel closer to them. Social daydreaming lets us practice conversations, think about past talks, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us handle the social world better. Murayama says he now tries not to check his phone during short waits. Instead, he lets his thoughts wander. He finds that simply entertaining yourself in your own mind can be both satisfying and meaningful. 12. Why does Erin Westgate call mindless scrolling “brain candy”? A. It is bad for your health. B. It helps people avoid boredom. C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life. D. It gives quick but shallow pleasure. 13. What did the 2022 study show? A. Phone addiction could be avoided. B. Daydreaming was not valued enough. C. Being alone helped learning. D. Self-reflection made us human. 14. What does the “default mode” of the brain suggest? A. Unfocused thinking can increase creativity. B. Trying hard always brings new ideas. C. Hard tasks need an active mind. D. Routine tasks require little brain activity. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Stay Focused in the Digital Age. B. Discover the Joy of Truly Being Alone. C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind. D. Explore the Hidden Benefits of Social Daydreaming. 三、完形填空（共15分，每小题1分） Wang Shun became China’s first Olympic champion in the men’s individual medley event in Tokyo 2020.
